Azur Lane Under the Stars

No, that's not cowardly, that's called having brains. Even the second most powerful battleship in the port would have to back down when faced with a group of ferocious ship girls.

Not to mention Shinano and New Jersey... We can't afford to mess with them.

Seeing that Hu Teng remained silent, Ren Shuo smiled smugly, thinking that his eloquence was indeed quite good.

"What are your plans for this afternoon, Master?" Dido asked, seeing that their conversation had temporarily come to an end.

"Hmm, let's go for a walk around the academy, we don't have anything else to do anyway... What do you say, Hu Teng?"

Hu Teng thought for a moment and said, "I'll go check out the Ship Girl Academy and maybe visit the training grounds. This is my first time here."

"Okay, just come back after you finish eating."

Ren Shuo said.

"Understood," Hu Teng replied.

Hu Teng stood up and went upstairs to change his clothes before going out. He had just casually put on a short-sleeved shirt and denim shorts while eating, and he thought it would be better to change his clothes before going out.

Ren Shuo and Dai Duo were dressed as usual, so they went out first.

"Hmm, after I'm done shopping, I'll buy some groceries to take back," Ren Shuo muttered to himself as he walked.

Dido felt very apologetic: "I'm sorry, Master, Dido... Dido really can't cook..."

Dido inexplicably became depressed.

Ren Shuo quickly comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay. It's alright even if our Dido can't cook. The Commander can cook. Even if Dido can't cook, she's still the Commander's good maid."

We can't let Dido fall into self-doubt on the street, otherwise it will be a big problem.

Dido, however, was uncharacteristically quick to compose herself: "Don't worry, Master, Dido will try her best to learn how to cook!"

Seeing Dido full of energy, Ren Shuo was happy to see her growth, even though he was surprised by the changes in her personality. He smiled and nodded.

"Hmm, is there anything you like?" Ren Shuo asked, looking at the familiar commercial street.

Dido was somewhat flustered: "No need, Master. I am just a maid and do not need you to spend money."

"It's alright, it's alright. Although she's a maid, she's still family to me. Just tell me what you like," Ren Shuo said.

Dido was somewhat troubled: "Even if Master says so, Dido can't think of anything she likes..."

Normally she wears a maid outfit; those cheongsams and swimsuits are only for special occasions, so she doesn't need any clothes for them.

As for jewelry... Dido is still a bit conflicted.

The main issue is that if someone gives you jewelry as a gift, you feel like you're not appreciating the gift if you don't wear it. But if you do wear it, you'd be in deep trouble if you accidentally break it, lose it, or let it get dusty while doing housework.

"Oh my? Isn't this Commander Ren Shuo? It's been a long time."

Just as Dido was struggling with her decision, a soft voice rang out.

Dido looked over; her eyes were bright and clear, her hair was as black as ink, her figure was slender and her face delicate, and there was a horn on her head...

Although they look different, she looks exactly like Ms. Noshiro from the Minato Ward.

Ren Shuo also asked in surprise, "Isn't this the boss lady? How's business lately?"

"It's alright, nothing special." Noshiro smiled at Ren Shuo, then looked at Dido behind her and joked, "Is this your maid? Is this... a triumphant return?"

"I was invited to attend the exchange meeting, and since I had nothing to do this afternoon, I just took a short stroll," Ren Shuo explained.

Noshiro nodded: "And who is this?"

Ren Shuo introduced, "Our Daiduo, Daiduo, this is Noshiro, she is a teacher at the academy, and when she has nothing to do, she is also the owner of this shop."

“Hello…” Dido was a little reserved.

"Hi there, would you like to come in and take a look? We have some new stock that just arrived," Noshiro invited.

Ren Shuo thought about it and realized that he could buy Dido some clothes, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

"Does Dido have any clothes she likes?" Ren Shuo asked as they entered the store.

Dido looked left and right: "Whatever Master decides is fine... Dido is fine with anything."

"Do I decide? Okay." Knowing Dido's personality, Ren Shuo didn't force her.

While browsing in the store, Ren Shuo spotted a beige floral dress and asked Nodo, "Boss lady, do you have Dido's size?"

Noshiro took it and looked at it, then sized up Dido's hot figure, and hesitated for a moment: "I think so?"

As he spoke, he went to the inner room to get some clothes, and quickly brought them out, saying, "Here you are."

"Give it a try," Ren Shuo encouraged.

Dido nodded and went into the fitting room.

After Dido entered the fitting room, she nudged Ren Shuo with her elbow and teased, "Such a pretty and well-built maid, what? Don't you have any ideas?"

"Ahem... This is my sister-in-law, I have no thoughts, no thoughts." Ren Shuo could clearly feel his own guilt when he said this.

“You’re feeling guilty,” Noshiro said confidently.

Ren Shuo said, "No... By the way, why have you become like this? I remember you weren't this outgoing before."

The agent naturally replied, "Having been in business for a long time, one should naturally be a little more outgoing and talkative."

Ren Shuo thought to himself, "You're not just talkative, you're a real busybody."

During the conversation, Dido's weak voice rang out: "Master..."

Ren Shuo looked up and asked, "What...?"

The words caught in his throat. Ren Shuo stared blankly at Dido in front of him and asked, "Is this the perfect size you were talking about?"

Noshiro was a little guilty: "This is the largest size..."

Dido was extremely shy at this moment. The hem of her long dress was too long, and she had to hold it up with both hands to prevent it from dragging on the ground. However, the waist area was a bit loose, and what made her even more embarrassed was that the chest area was really stuffy and uncomfortable.

Too tight.

"Who would have thought your little maid had such a great figure?" Nori made up an excuse.

No, it should be "head maid," not "small."

He lowered his head subtly and saw his toes, which made him feel somewhat deflated.

"Let's change to another one, do you have a similar style..." Ren Shuo thought that, putting aside the size, the color of this dress suited Dido quite well.

Noshiro said, "I'll go look for it. You guys sit down for a while."

Ren Shuo also said to Dido, "Let's change your clothes back first."

Dido breathed a sigh of relief and quickly went to change her clothes.

Not knowing where to find clothes, Ren Shuo pulled Dai Duo to sit down on the waiting chair, and Dai Duo quickly took out a drink and handed it to Ren Shuo.

"Just one bottle?" Ren Shuo asked.

"Master, I have some more here."

Ren Shuo said, "Then you should drink it too?"

"Huh? But... this is for Master." Dido said weakly.

"It's alright, drink up." Ren Shuo patted Dido's head with a hint of doting affection.

"Then, then I'll be rude..." Dido blushed slightly and took out a bottle of water to drink in small sips.

"Come in and take a look. This shop sells clothes... Elbin, I remember you were looking to buy clothes, weren't you?"

A spirited voice rang out from the shop entrance, followed immediately by a voice that sounded extremely frightened: "Wait, wait a minute..."

"Stop talking nonsense and go inside." Another somewhat cold voice followed.

"Whoa!" It sounded like a startled little animal.

Ren Shuo found it interesting and looked towards the doorway, where he saw two ship girls dressed in Ironblood uniforms, and another one with a rather strange outfit that didn't seem to belong to any faction. Instead, she looked like a black swan dressed in full regalia.

After a quick glance, Ren Shuo looked away. They must be ship girls from the academy.

Dido, on the other hand, stared intently at one of the timid-looking heterochromatic ship girls, feeling a strange attraction between kindred spirits...

The ship girl with heterochromatic eyes and twin tails also sensed Dido's gaze and, for some reason, developed a considerable fondness for Dido.

"What? Someone you know?" Seydlitz asked.

Looking at the short-haired ship girl in a maid outfit, Seydlitz was a little confused. This shouldn't be the case. In her memory, apart from York from the Royal Navy and the Duke of York from other ports, Elbin shouldn't know anyone from the Royal Navy.

And the person next to that ship girl must be her commander, right?

Seemingly sensing the curious gazes of a few people, Ren Shuo turned around again and smiled politely.

Seydlitz nodded slightly in return.

"Here it comes, here it comes, this is the outfit." Noshiro ran out from inside, handed the item in her hand to Ren Shuo, and then saw the three ship girls, her eyes lighting up. "Welcome, would you like to take a look? We have all the latest styles of clothing here."

Seydlitz pointed at the ship girl huddled in the back: "Buy her...any recommendations?"

“Her, please come with me. There are a few styles that would suit her.” Noshiro looked Elbin up and down, already having made up her mind.

Ignoring what was happening there, Ren Shuo told Dido to change her clothes.

After changing, Ren Shuo felt a sense of amazement.

She still wore a beige long dress, but the hem was trimmed with lace, and the short sleeves were fitted. The slightly cinched waist accentuated Dido's most graceful curves.

A section of fair and straight calf was boldly exposed to the air, paired with a pair of white high-heeled sandals... making her look very innocent, yet with a unique allure.

"Master, is it pretty?" Dido asked cautiously, afraid that her appearance would not meet Ren Shuo's aesthetic standards.

"Mmm, very beautiful. As expected of Dido, she's a natural clothes hanger." Ren Shuo didn't hold back his praise.

It's fair to say that every ship girl is a walking clothes hanger; after all, good-looking people look good in anything.

Anyway, last time in the winter at the North Union dormitory, Mercury Memorial wore a military-style dark green cotton-padded coat, and she could make it look like she was walking a fashion show.

"Hmm, it's very good... Do you like it?" Ren Shuo asked.

"As long as Master is happy!" Dido quickly said.

Whether I like it or not is another matter; whatever the owner likes is what I like.

Ren Shuo then said, "Then let's take this one...madam!"

“Okay, wait for me a moment,” Noshiro said loudly.

…………

After buying the clothes, as they were leaving, the ship girls were still helping one of them pick out clothes. Ren Shuo didn't pay much attention and left with Dido.

Before leaving, I bought Dido another set of black short-sleeved shirt and white short skirt.

"What does Dido want to eat tonight?" Ren Shuo was about to buy some groceries to take home.

“Eh? It’s fine as long as Master decides,” Dido said.

Ren Shuo had anticipated Dido's response, so he changed his question: "Daido, what do you usually eat when you're with Sirius?"

"Hmm, Sirius? They usually eat mashed potatoes and baked rice?" Dido said.

“You guys like this… then I’ll make baked rice tonight,” Ren Shuo decided.

Let's go see if they sell sausages and cheese first.

…………

"Is this the academy's training ground?" Hu Teng walked and stopped, arriving at the Royal Naval Academy's training ground.

The training ground was bustling with activity, as it seemed that the new ship girls were taking training lessons. One of the instructors appeared to be very strict, loudly pointing out the shortcomings of the new recruits in target practice and evasion drills.

Hu Teng squinted. The blond hair and that ship equipment... was it Nelson?

However, it's quite inferior to Nelson in our port area.

Hu Teng leaned against the railing, looking at the ship girls below with a bored expression.

Is it because I've watched too many high-level exercises? I always feel that these ship girls below are like newborns who have just learned to walk, so boring.

"Feeling bored?" a voice sounded beside me.
