Azur Lane Under the Stars

Belfast and Glorious looked at Cheshire with blank expressions.

Ren Shuo was also stunned. Something was wrong. Had he forgotten something?

Oh no! I forgot that I can't get Little Cheshire to change how she addresses me. I just said I'd try to take Little Cheshire out less often and just wander around the port area. How could I forget that now?

But since we're already out, I can't exactly tell Little Cheshire, "Sweetie, let's not go shopping anymore, let's go home."

This is probably going to make some of the cuties cry their eyes out.

With a resolute air of self-sacrifice, Ren Shuo said to Charybdis, "If I'm mistaken for a pervert, remember to come to the Maritime Bureau to bail me out."

Little Belfast thought for a moment and said very considerately, "Don't worry, Master, I will help you deliver the food."

Karybdis chuckled: "Commander, it seems the Maritime Bureau doesn't dare to interfere with us much anymore, does it? There are so many people in our port area, they usually just turn a blind eye."

Just kidding. Your Maritime Safety Administration headquarters has already tacitly acknowledged that the Siren ship girls are "under control" in the port area, so the Military Police Force is just a piece of cake.

"But don't worry, if Master really gets taken away by the Maritime Bureau, I will come to rescue you."

"Kalubdis said."

“Alright…” Ren Shuo tightened his grip on the little Cheshire in his arms and said.

After getting off the bus, I headed straight for the children's clothing section. I had originally planned to get a set of clothes for Charybdis as well, but Charybdis declined.

The reason is that she has a lot of maid outfits in her closet, as well as quite a few casual clothes, and she can't wear them all. Besides, she doesn't usually go out, so there's no need to waste money.

After a while, Ren Shuo had no choice but to give up.

Arriving at the children's clothing section, the shopkeeper kept praising Ren Shuo and Charybdis as a perfect couple, whose children were all incredibly cute.

Ren Shuo was very happy and accepted everything, but Charybdis lowered his head shyly.

But to be honest, it's only because this shop owner speaks to people in a way that they can understand them; otherwise, anyone with eyes could tell at a glance that this is a combination of a commander and a ship girl.

After all, the girl is pretty, and her hair doesn't look dyed. Besides, the child's hair colors are all over the place, so it's easy to tell at a glance.

But this is just a way of playing dumb in business.

"Commander, Commander, look! Isn't it beautiful!"

Xiao Guanghui, dressed in a pure white princess dress, came to Ren Shuo, twirled around, and smiled very happily.

Ren Shuo gave a thumbs up: "Our little cutie looks good in everything."

Little Belfast, also wearing the red plaid skirt, ran over and whispered, "Master... does it look good?"

Ren Shuo praised her generously: "She looks good. We always say that if someone is cute, they will look good in anything."

Charybdis laughed: "Master, your skill in praising people needs improvement. Otherwise, praising every lady you meet as beautiful will seem too cheap."

Ren Shuo was also a little embarrassed: "That's all the knowledge I have, there's nothing I can do about it."

"Didn't Miss Hood invite you to study and read together in the library or in her room?" Charybdis asked, puzzled.

Ren Shuo felt a little guilty: "Well, maybe I'm just not suited for these things?"

I can't exactly tell you that, in his pursuit of thrills at the library, Hood found a secluded spot to bite his handkerchief, and then, in his bedroom, while studying famous works, he ended up studying English, right?

"I see, what a pity," Charybdis said, unsuspecting.

Ren Shuo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had gotten away with it and his image was saved. However, he soon asked in confusion, "Where is Little Cheshire?"

Before the words were even finished, Little Cheshire came running over in a flurry: "Honey! I didn't expect a children's clothing store here to have wedding dresses! Elbow! Let's go buy a ring!"

Ren Shuo immediately looked at the shopkeeper, a woman in her forties. The meaning in Ren Shuo's gaze was quite clear:

This is supposed to be a children's clothing store?! You even sell wedding dresses?! That's serious.

But the shop owner calmly explained, "What's the big deal? This is just an outfit that a young model from a magazine shoot ordered from us... And strictly speaking, it's a bridesmaid dress, just with more lace and a longer hem..."

Then he looked at Ren Shuo with a half-smile, as if to say:

But this Commander is quite the torturer, isn't he? Such a tiny little guy, darling? Really torture.

So, despite feeling like he was dying, Ren Shuo still bought a dress for each of the three little ones. Of course, the wedding dress was out of the question. Little Cheshire was disappointed, but she was still very happy to receive the gift.

After strolling around for a while, Ren Shuo noticed that Xiao Guanghui was staring motionless at the ice cream shop not far away, so he said to Charybdis, "Let's go buy some ice cream and find a place to rest."

"Yes, Master... What flavor would you like, Master?" Charybdis asked.

"I'll just stick with vanilla... What about the little ones?"

"chocolate!"

"strawberry!"

"blueberry!"

The three little ones were very happy.

"Understood, please wait a moment, Master." Charybdis nodded and went to buy things.

Ren Shuo and the others found a table and a few chairs nearby and sat down.

"Honey, so when are you going to buy a vow ring for lovely Cheshire?"

As soon as Little Cheshire sat down, he started his "I'm very curious" mode.

Ren Shuo coughed awkwardly. Luckily, no one was around, or he would have been mistaken for a pervert.

"Think about it, your older sister doesn't even have a ring yet. As the younger sister, isn't it a bit too early for you to get one?"

That's all Ren Shuo could say.

Little Cheshire thought about it seriously for a moment, and then said, "But didn't the Iron-Blooded Bismarck also get the ring after her younger sister Tirpitz?"

Ren Shuo stubbornly insisted, "That was an accident..."

Little Shiba Inu asked in confusion, "But Amagi-neechan is behind us too, and Noshiro-neechan was ahead of Agano-neechan. Oh right, and Enterprise-neechan is too."

Ren Shuo: "..."

"You're still young. I'll give you the ring when you grow up, okay?" Ren Shuo could only stall for time.

Little Cheshire was easy to please and immediately said happily, "Okay! No problem!"

Little Belfast and Little Glorious knew a little more than Little Cheshire, but they just kept their heads down and didn't say anything.

"Master, the ice cream is back."

Charybdis was holding a fixed disposable plate with a few ice cream sticks stuck on it.

After the little ones received their desired flavors, they happily said thank you and started licking their ice cream, their faces beaming with bliss.

Charybdis also sat down next to Ren Shuo, taking small bites of his own food.

Ah, it's so good that I decided to sweep up the fallen leaves in the parking lot on a whim, otherwise I wouldn't be able to go out like this with my owner.

Charybdis felt a little smug, and even found the ice cream in his mouth to be sweeter.

Next, we took the kids shopping and bought some things we wanted. Then, we ran into an acquaintance around the corner.

The Pennsylvania director wore a white short-sleeved shirt and denim capri pants.

"What a coincidence, taking the children from the port area out for a picnic?"

Pennsylvania was a little envious. Why did other ports have so many cute characters? Little Belfast, Little Glorious... There was one more I didn't recognize, I'd never seen him before.

My only little darling at the Maritime Bureau, how did she end up running off with someone else...?

Hmm, the flavor of what Eugen left behind has faded considerably.

Waaaaah, Kurushi.

Ren Shuo greeted her with a smile: "Isn't this Pennsylvania? What a coincidence! Are you on vacation? Come and say hello to your older sister."

Three adorable little voices rang out in unison: "Hello, big sister~"

Ah~ that crisp texture with a touch of softness, and also with a childlike innocence and a childlike coquettishness, it's really wonderful.

Pennsylvania suddenly felt as refreshed as if she had just taken a bath, had a back scrub, and then put on new underwear that she would only wear for the New Year.

"Hello everyone." Pennsylvania tried her best to make her expression as gentle and friendly as possible.

And these three little guys are so strange, they don't seem like little Eugen at all, and sometimes they even play pranks on people.

Looking at the three little angels before me, one was dignified and lively, one pretended to be a little adult but was still full of childlike innocence, and the other was full of energy...

What's with the Eugen? I'm so tired of it, it's just so-so.

"Honey, who is this big sister?" Little Cheshire tugged at Ren Shuo's sleeve and asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Ren Shuo covered his face.

Pennsylvania immediately looked at Ren Shuo with an expression of utter contempt, as if to say, "You even went after such a tiny cutie? How enviable... no, I mean, you're a real beast."

Charybdis immediately helped his master out of his predicament.

“Miss Pennsylvania, I think you’ve misunderstood something. This is Little Cheshire… Little Cheshire, who’s always been with Cheshire, you understand?”

Pennsylvania could barely understand it based on Charybdis's explanation.

I'm very familiar with that quirky, inexplicably moody, and sometimes clueless cat maid.

Little Cheshire, and then brought out by Cheshire... so it's not surprising that he does anything.

But the way I hear "darling" still feels off-putting. Even though I'm on vacation, why do I feel like I want to handcuff Ren Shuo?

But looking at the girl next to Ren Shuo, I'd better give up. I can't beat her. I don't want to be pinned to the ground by the time I pull out my gloves.

It was so embarrassing in front of everyone.

Pennsylvania could only say, "Commander Ren Shuo, please be mindful of the consequences..."

"Next time, next time for sure." Knowing he was in the wrong, Ren Shuo could only force a smile and say.

"You guys keep playing, I'm going to go buy some things."

After a brief chat, Pennsylvania bid farewell to Ren Shuo and his group, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

The commander of this port area is quite easy to talk to... but the ship girls are all bandits, it's become a conditioned reflex for them.

After parting ways with Pennsylvania, Ren Shuo bought some food and toys for the little cuties and then returned to the port area.

Then she saw Jarvis collecting the blankets; she had changed out of the nurse's uniform she wore that morning and into a maid's outfit.

"Why did you become a maid?" Ren Shuo asked curiously.

"Ah, Commander, I feel a little embarrassed to be able to earn pocket money while studying here, so I took the initiative to find the head maid and asked to work for free as a way to earn pocket money." Jarvis felt that this was his equivalent exchange.

Ren Shuo suddenly felt that this little destroyer was really cute.

Chapter 526 The Salted Fish Commander and Elbin

Ordinary days can always make people feel the comfort of life.

However, it can also make people feel that they have lost their motivation to strive.

After returning from his official business trip, he was sidelined by his secretaries and not allowed to do anything.

I am nothing more than an emotionless signing and stamping machine. It is even said that Zhenhai is studying my notes recently. If he succeeds in studying them, then even my right to sign and stamp will be taken away.

"I feel like you guys are going to turn me into a useless piece of trash..."

Ren Shuo slumped onto the sofa in his St. Louis room, looking utterly dejected.

"Then find something to do..." Honolulu muttered, blushing. "It's so annoying that you keep coming to me and St. Louis."

However, the curve of her lips revealed that she was actually quite happy inside.

"Hey, some people are being hypocritical again, and they're even blushing! Let me see!" Ren Shuo jumped up suddenly.

"The salted fish has become a salty, wet fish," he said deliberately.

"Sit back down!" Honolulu cried out in a panic, "Eee-ah!"

Ren Shuo didn't give Honolulu any face and directly pulled this tall, blushing, mature woman into his arms, starting to ruffle her twin ponytails.

Looking at the couple who resembled two children, St. Louis was used to it. While carefully painting her nails, she said:

"Actually, the commander is also working hard and fulfilling his duties very well."

"What are your responsibilities?" Ren Shuo asked curiously.
