"Hmm, did two ship girls recently visit your port, York and Lützow? And there's also the Duke of York in your port?" Seydlitz asked uncertainly.

York had previously received letters from Lützow praising the port area and inviting him to visit.

“That’s right… Could you be the friends the Duke of York mentioned?” A thought flashed through Ren Shuo’s mind.

“Yes, we are the friends she mentioned.” Seydlitz nodded. “I almost forgot, I am Seydlitz of the Ironblood, and these two are Emden and Elbin, both members of the Ironblood.”

"Hello... Since you are friends of our Duke of York, York and Lützow, then you are also my friends."

"Really? What a coincidence... Wait? Your house?"

Seydlitz keenly noticed certain words in Ren Shuo's words and asked.

Ren Shuo nodded: "Don't you know? The two of them joined my port district and have already sent their resignation letters to the Ironblood Maritime Bureau. I don't know about York, but it seems she had someone pack her luggage and send it to our port district. As for Lützow, he said he had wanted to ask the Great Demon King for help for a long time, so he brought all his things with him."

“That Lützow guy…”

Knowing full well who this "Great Demon King" was referring to, Seydlitz's fists hardened. He knew he wanted to teach Lützow a lesson, but then he realized that she was now a ship girl in someone else's port. What right did he have to teach her a lesson?

Besides, the Duke of York is someone else's family. If you go to his house to deal with Lützow, you'll probably get a beating from the Duke of York.

“Miss Hu Teng, the feeling you give to ‘us’ is very strong, even reminiscent of when ‘we’ once encountered a Purifier…”

Emden spoke, and as he spoke, a flash of blood red appeared in his eyes.

Hu Teng narrowed his eyes slightly. Although it was quick, he still noticed that this ship girl was no ordinary person...

Although I was alone, for a moment I felt like I was being watched by two people.

"It's alright, after all, Hu Teng is a colored rarity ship girl," Ren Shuo explained.

"Oh, I see. No wonder."

Emden said in a low voice.

Each colorful ship girl, fully trained and equipped with good gear, can at least put up a fight against the Purifiers, if not completely crush them. The Warspite, who was upgraded to a colorful ship girl after the Governor's Mansion was remodeled, successfully suppressed and even sank the Purifiers when they invaded, leading two vanguard ship girls and a battleship.

This is also a great victory that will be recorded in history.

Elbin hadn't said a word, but at this moment he couldn't help but look at Ren Shuo with curiosity.

This commander is very lucky, and judging from their conversation, the port area seems to be quite powerful. He must be a hardworking and capable commander.

"By the way, Commander Ren Shuo, how are Lüzov and York doing in the port?" Although they were no longer colleagues, they were still very good friends, so she couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry, they're both doing very well. As for Lützow, it seems he's been talking to Shinano and the Empire in our port area about sleeping together lately. And York has been going to Hood and Bismarck's place a lot lately."

Ren Shuo said.

As Ren Shuo rattled off one name after another, Seydlitz's expression gradually shifted from surprise to astonishment.

Weren't your port supposed to be this powerful? Leaving aside Hood and the Empire... you even have Bismarck? The entire Ironblood faction only has one Bismarck! And what about Shinano? And that rainbow-colored aircraft carrier from Sakura Empire?

Was this from a recent Pokédex update? It said there's only one in the world? And it's right here?!

One current hypothesis is that, apart from the modified colored ship girls, which are multiple, those naturally colored ship girls are practically unique; once one is born, there will definitely not be a second one.

So, this Shinano copy must be the only one of its kind, right?

Goodness, Seydlitz looked at Ren Shuo with a strange gaze. Could this guy be the legendary European Emperor?

No, I've seen plenty of lucky people at the Maritime Bureau, but none of them are this amazing...

Is this some kind of lucky seal among the lucky ones?

With his mind filled with all sorts of random thoughts, Seydlitz stroked his chin and scrutinized Ren Shuo.

"Ahem... What's wrong, Miss Seydlitz?" Ren Shuo touched the corner of his mouth, thinking there was rice stuck there.

"No, it's nothing, just to see what kind of commander Lützow and the others have identified."

"oh oh……"

Chapter 510 Belfast Speaks

"Let me tell you, Commander Ren Shuo, York and Lüzov are two ship girls who have abandoned their former best friends after getting a commander."

The next morning, Seydlitz and her two friends arrived at Ren Shuo's place. The main reason was that when they parted the night before, Seydlitz complained that her two former best friends had learned to hang up the phone.

Even if I wanted to catch up with old friends, I couldn't get in touch with them, and the group chats on my phone were ignored.

However, this ship girl did not block herself in her social media posts.

Looking at Lützow's posts on social media, such as "Finally free from the old witch's control" and "I'm free!"

Seydlitz was furious.

So Ren Shuo suggested that he come to see her this morning so that he could contact York and the others, and Seydlitz readily agreed.

I made a video call to York, and it connected quickly. A beautiful young woman with a radiant smile appeared on the screen.

She was overjoyed to see that it was Ren Shuo.

"Commander, is something the matter? Or are you already missing me after less than a day?"

Ren Shuo looked at the guy in front of him who only knew how to talk big and immediately said, "Yeah, I just missed you. I'll think about you properly when I get back."

York immediately chickened out and shrank back, saying, "Well... let's forget about it."

Hmph, you little brat, I can't handle you.

"Let's get down to business, let's get down to business. What do you need?" York asked with an awkward smile.

"Someone is looking for you." Ren Shuo handed his phone to Seydlitz, who was standing next to him.

Do you remember me? My old friend?

Seeing Seydlitz's resentful gaze and tone, Yorke became even more embarrassed.

"Isn't this Seydlitz? Why do you say that? Haven't we always been good friends?" York said, sounding a little guilty.

She knew it was wrong to block Seydlitz, but it was Lützow who had instigated it! It had nothing to do with her!

“I know it wasn’t your idea,” Seydlitz, having once been a minor leader in the Maritime Bureau, had long seen through everything. “I also know it was Lützow’s idea… Where is she?”

"Lüzoff should be in Shinano. Oh right, if the Commander wants to contact her, please don't video call her directly. She knows about Seydlitz's visit to the Royal Navy, so she's prepared for the Commander to run into Seydlitz. Therefore, she probably won't answer the phone."

In order to survive, some people directly sold out Lützow.

"Tell me, why would someone like this use their cleverness in such strange ways?" Seydlitz said, feeling utterly disappointed in him.

So, where is she?

“It’s in Shinano,” York said.

"Okay, then I won't bother you anymore. You go ahead with your work," Ren Shuo said.

York nodded quickly: "Okay, see you later."

York breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone. Honestly, he should have known better than to go along with Lützow's reckless actions; he was almost scared to death.

On the other end of the phone, Seydlitz took a deep breath and said to Ren Shuo, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Commander Ren Shuo."

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all," Ren Shuo said cheerfully.

Ren Shuo dialed Shinano's number directly, but no one answered immediately. He wasn't in a hurry and dialed a second time.

Shinano should be sleeping at this time, so you have to call twice before she answers, otherwise she will pretend she didn't hear it. In her mind, you only call repeatedly when it's urgent.

As for the guilt of disturbing other people's sleep... please, Ren Shuo has gently made Shinono do her morning exercises in a half-asleep state countless times early in the morning.

That sense of guilt? Not at all, and Shinano spends most of her time sleeping anyway.

Sure enough, the second call was answered.

A groggy voice came through the receiver: "Commander, what can I do for you?"

Ren Shuo also kept an eye on things. Shinano's sleeping posture wasn't bad, but even when she was sleeping straight, her robe would inexplicably become disheveled, revealing glimpses of her skin.

There are outsiders here; it's inappropriate for them to see this.

"Something's wrong... Is Lützow next to you? Let her answer the phone."

"Lützov... Lützov, the commander is looking for you. Don't ask me, I don't know what it's about... Don't say such useless things, I don't care, I want to sleep... Hold onto the phone."

Faint sounds came from the other side, followed by Lützow's voice, which carried a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Commander, what's going on so early in the morning? I'm still sleeping."

"Did you sleep at the Sleep Club again last night?" Ren Shuo asked.

"Yeah, yeah, it's so comfortable to sleep here, let me tell you." Lüzov wasn't sleepy anymore as soon as he mentioned it... anyway, he could sleep anytime he wanted.

"What are you wearing now?" Ren Shuo asked.

Lüzoff looked down at her low-cut nightgown and teased, "Commander, are you so concerned about what I'm wearing? Do you have feelings for me? Oh dear~ I'm about to be defiled~"

"Please, be normal. If there's nothing inconvenient, I'll video call you." Ren Shuo's face darkened.

Lützow nodded: "Oh, wait a minute, Commander, I'm changing my clothes..."

Despite his playful banter, Lü Zuofu, who was still more than friends but not quite lovers, was not used to dressing so scantily in front of Ren Shuo.

Shortly after hanging up the phone, Lützow received a video call. Lützow had changed into a black dress, revealing only her delicate collarbone and fair shoulders.

“Commander, is there anything I can help you with?” Lützow asked.

"It's nothing, someone wants to see you..." Ren Shuo said.

"Yes, it's me, the one who's become an old witch in your mouth, who wants to see you." Looking at the bewildered Lützow on the screen, Seydlitz forced a smile, but the smile was full of the intention to kill her.

"Ahaha... Seydlitz, how have you been?" Lüzov turned his head away somewhat guiltily.

Oh no, I was talking badly about someone and now the person in question has come knocking on my door!

"That's great. You resigned without saying a word. That's very good." Seydlitz felt a little uncomfortable. Was he really that unpopular?

To be fair, Seydlitz wasn't exactly disliked; she was actually a very nice girl. It's just that she and Lützow weren't a good match. It's like asking a lazy, sleepy girl like Zaoyu to be the personal secretary of Keqing, who loves 007...

You will die; you will definitely die eventually.

"Hehehe, isn't this because I've met the right person? The right commander, that's why I'm like this." Lüzov sounded very righteous, but his tone carried a hint of flattery.

But then she thought again, wait a minute, I'm no longer under your control, why should I try to please you like this?

Then she panicked and started attacking Seydlitz: "Who told you to always make me do this and that? Let me tell you, I don't need to be disciplined by you anymore."

I'm not afraid of you anymore!

Lützow had never felt so triumphant as he did today.

"Oh? Is that so?" Seydlitz felt extremely angry. "I'm here at the Royal Navy to carry out my last mission before I retire... Do you think Commander Ren Shuo would agree to let me go to his port for a short exchange?"

“I agree.” Although the person was not in the frame, the suppressed laughter reached Lützow’s ears.

“Then I’ll also give Lützow some training; I’m worried about him,” Seydlitz said.

Ren Shuole, amused, said, "Okay, I agree. Welcome, welcome."

"Commander, you can't do this! Whose side are you on anyway?"

On the phone, Lützow was furious and looked betrayed.

"Me? I'm on my side," Ren Shuo joked. "Besides, Lüzov, you're my ship girl, shouldn't you be on my side? So, you do whatever I say."

“I’m telling you, if you keep doing this, I’ll run away from home, I really will!” Lüzov said.

Ren Shuo said calmly, "Go ahead and leave. I don't believe that after enjoying the sleeping club in Shinano, you can endure not using these sleeping devices for a long time."

Lützow had intended to firmly state that he truly didn't need it, but...

She touched the pillow and blankets in her arms, and still reluctantly said, "Let's exercise. It's better to exercise than not being able to use these things."

I have to say, the aromatherapy and all sorts of amazing things they've put together in the port area are simply fantastic.

Now, in Lützow's mind, he would rather train than be without these things.

"That's settled then. You're having a good time talking, aren't you? Just wait, I'll deal with you when I get to Commander Ren Shuo's port." Seydlitz sneered, then hung up the phone while Lützow looked on with a constipated expression.

"Let's get this straight first, she's our daughter after all, so just don't go too far..."

Although both sides are good sisters, Ren Shuo still has to protect some of his own girls.

Of course, if Seydlitz joins the port area, then even if you beat Lützow to a pulp, Ren Shuo will turn a blind eye.
