Glorious said to Belfast in a very considerate manner.

Belfast gave a slight bow, then offered Lützow a seat, along with Lützow's favorite cola and some of Howe's homemade cookies.

"What are you talking about?" Lützow was used to getting free food and drinks like this. After taking a big gulp of cola, he sighed contentedly and then asked curiously.

“I’m chatting with Illustrious right now,” Ren Shuo said with a smile. “Illustrious happened to meet a ship girl online a while ago who claimed to be the fourth ship of the Illustrious class.”

“The fourth ship of the Illustrious-class… I remember it was called Unyielding, right? It’s not in the encyclopedia.” Lützow was taken aback.

"The Pokédex was updated a while ago, and it's already available. It's said that this Unyielding is the first Unyielding to be born in the world," Radiant explained.

"Moreover, this is fate! In the vast internet, our family's brilliance actually came together. What does this mean? It means that this is an arrangement of destiny!" Ren Shuo was extremely excited.

"So, Commander, you want to salvage the ship?" Lüzoff understood. "Dude, with so many girls in your port, you still want to salvage the ship?"

“The more of this kind of thing, the better. Besides, what’s the difference between a commander who doesn’t want to salvage ships and a salted fish?” Ren Shuo said.

Glorious smiled helplessly: "I only saw it by chance last time, and then the commander found out and asked me to find a way to lure him to the port."

"I see..." Lüzov suddenly looked at Ren Shuo, "Commander Ren Shuo, what do you think of me? Want to rescue me?"

Ren Shuo rested his chin on his hand, roughly understanding what Lüzoff meant: "Of course, look, a ship girl as beautiful and attractive as you, with a great figure, and who is exactly my type, would be impossible not to try and get her. It would be best to kidnap her and make her my wife."

The relationship between the two had progressed to the point where they could say things that would be considered presumptuous between strangers.

"Hmph, I knew Commander wasn't up to any good." Lüzoff snorted, then said to Ren Shuo, "However, if you want me to change my mind, there are a few things you'll have to agree to~"

"What is it? Just say the word!" Ren Shuo appeared very generous.

"Hmph, well then I'll say it. First of all! I like to slack off! You're not allowed to say anything to me! Of course, I'll still meet my minimum monthly targets. Also, I want to join that sleeping club too! Hmm, those are the two!" Lützow declared his lazy bum declaration.

"Okay, no problem, this is it, I agree."

Ren Shuo, who was already familiar with Lüzoff's personality, readily agreed. The two commanders and the free-ship girl, who had a very good relationship, would not have such a solemn oath or ceremony when joining the port, except for those with special personalities, of course.

"Oh, then I'll change my address. Nice to meet you from now on, Commander~"

Lützow cheered, finally having settled his life's most important matter.

Glorious and Belfast exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.

"But I thought you wouldn't agree, Commander. I even prepared some bargaining chips." Lüzoff lay on the table, her small face flat. Although she was a mature woman, she looked very cute.

"What kind of bargaining chips?" Ren Shuo asked.

"Exactly, if you don't agree, then I'll buy one and get one free, and I'll find a way to get York out of there for you too. That way you should agree, right?"

Lützow openly prepared to sell his good friend.

"Let me tell you, Commander, York is currently debating whether or not to join us. Based on my understanding of her, if you take the initiative to invite her now, the chances of winning her over are one hundred percent."

"You just sold your sister off like that?" Ren Shuo found it somewhat amusing.

"First of all, I'm not her sister ship. We're not exactly sisters, you know? And secondly, I'm a ship girl in the port now, so I have to consider the port's interests, so..."

Lützow looked righteous and awe-inspiring: "York? Who's that? I don't know him."

So you're really good friends, walking together, then backstabbing each other like crazy? You've only just joined our port area, and you've already mastered our true teachings!

"So, Commander, are you interested?"

Blinking his jewel-like eyes, Lützow asked with great interest.

Chapter 505 The Plan to Clear Ship Girls Outside the Port Area

Ren Shuo still planned to clear all the non-port ship girls in the port area before leaving.

Don't get me wrong, we're not trying to kick people out, but rather we want to make York our own girl. See, this way, we've achieved our zero-out plan, haven't we?

Ren Shuo and Lü Zuofu huddled closer together, enthusiastically discussing various methods, which made Guanghui and Belfast smile involuntarily.

This Lützow really gets along very well with his commander; they're both the kind of big kids who are sometimes calm and collected, and sometimes incredibly mischievous.

"Then it's settled! Let's be direct! It's more effective than anything else!"

After a long discussion, the two finally decided to skip the fancy stuff and just go straight for the wall slam, then ask him affectionately, "Would you be my dog?"

Oh wait, I mean, would you like to be my ship girl?

"Let's go! Hurry up!" Lü Zuofu grabbed Ren Shuo and tried to leave.

Ren Shuo had no choice but to follow, and before leaving, he didn't forget to say, "Guanghui, it's up to you to take care of the Bu Nao side!"

"I understand, don't worry, Commander, I'm very good at this." Glorious smiled dignifiedly.

Once Ren Shuo and Lü Zoff had disappeared from sight, Guanghui took out his phone and pleaded with Belfast, "Help me, Belfast, I really don't like chatting online."

Belfast sighed helplessly, took the phone, and skillfully began her assistance.

Shouldn't I be on vacation? Why are there so many strange and unusual jobs appearing all of a sudden?

…………

"Ugh, what should I do? Should I agree or not..."

York sat alone by the window in the room, one hand under her chin, a hint of distress on her beautiful face.

"Phew, should I join the port or not? If I agree to Al-Lützow's offer, I feel... something's missing..."

York, who suffers from decision paralysis, sighed deeply.

Moreover, before I came here, I made a boast to Seydlitz that even if this commander was excellent, I still wanted to work under Emden, blah blah blah.

As a result, this commander, although seemingly lazy, manages such a large port area in an orderly manner, so he should be considered a very capable commander, right? At least in her opinion, he is more capable than Emden.

"Hehehe! York! I've brought the Commander to see you!"

Before she arrived, her voice preceded her. Lützow's voice rang out from the doorway, and from her tone, one could sense that something particularly good had happened to her.

Wait a minute? My friend just mentioned... Commander?!

York looked over in a panic and saw Lüzov skipping and hopping in, grabbing Ren Shuo's arm.

Seeing York's dumbfounded expression, York smiled smugly: "Hehehe, let me introduce you! My commander! Ren Shuo! From now on, I'm one of the people in this port!"

"Congratulations... to both of you." York looked at the two with a complicated smile.

"By the way, how's your consideration of what I told you last time?" Lützow sat down next to York and asked curiously.

York knew she was talking about joining the port together, but she was still having trouble deciding, so she could only reply, "Still thinking about it."

Upon hearing this, Lüzoff gave Ren Shuo a wink, and Ren Shuo, understanding, invited York, "Be my ship girl! York! You can make any requests!"

"Wait, wait! This is all so sudden!" York panicked instantly.

Why did you go straight to the point? I wasn't ready!

"Hehehe, let me tell you, our Commander is really great, and aren't you and I good friends? Why don't you stay and keep me company?"

Lützow said, holding York's hand.

“But…” York still hesitated.

"No buts, come on, Commander, be firm, invite him one more time!"

Lüzoff offered advice.

York was almost in tears. "You're something else, Lützow. You have this personality. You say you have trouble making decisions, but actually you're the kind of person who looks steady but is actually quite weak."

They panic easily.

Your assertiveness will... it will... and besides, it's not like I have no good feelings towards this commander at all...

Ugh, this is so annoying...

York shrank back.

"Ahem, well then, I formally invite you once again, York, to be my ship girl. Whatever your request, I will do my best to fulfill it!"

Ren Shuo stepped forward, looked at York's slightly flustered eyes, and earnestly invited him.

"Um, this, I..."

York remembered what Emden had said: if you panic, take a deep breath, take a deep breath~

York took a deep breath, then tried to understand his own feelings, attempting to see what he was really thinking, and finally discovered with some sadness...

It seems I'm not actually opposed to joining the port, and I even have a rather good impression of this commander.

"Are you refusing to join the port area?" As if he could read minds, Lüzoff suddenly asked.

York instinctively replied, "I don't mind."

"Does the commander have any feelings for her?"

"Also."

"That works, right?" Lützow clapped his hands. "Then join us!"

York, realizing he'd been tricked, glared angrily at Lützow, but finally gave in and said, "I know, okay..."

York stood up and said earnestly to Ren Shuo, "Now that we've decided to join the port, a simple ceremony is still necessary... Cruiser York, please take care of me from today onwards, Commander."

"Yes, please take care of me!" Ren Shuo smiled happily. It's great that two more ship girls have joined the port.

"Yay! Now we can be together again! You really are my good friend!" Lützow cheered and hugged York.

"Phew, Lützow, thank you!" York glared at Lützow and said irritably.

Having seemingly put an end to a distraction, York appeared to have regained his usual composure.

"Hehehe, a York who has no worries and doesn't overthink things is the cool York, so if there's anything, you should talk to me about it." Lüzoff patted York on the shoulder.

"If anything happens in the future, you can tell everyone. Don't worry about it, we're all family now," Ren Shuo quickly added.

He said that he felt York's situation was a bit inconsistent, and now he realized that this was his personality... He always felt that York was a bit easy to bully, like a white dragon without its sword.

"By the way, Commander, aren't you going to attend the Sangvis Ferri and Royal Navy exchange meeting this time? I have some information on my friends, their personalities, and preferences. Commander, would you like to take a look and try to bring them back as well?"

York said.

Lützow stared in disbelief: "York, you've changed your tune so quickly! You're already seeking benefits for the Commander?"

"Didn't you learn this from you?" York glared at Lützow. "You're having a good time selling me out, aren't you?"

"Hehehe..." Lüzov scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, don't be shy, I'd like to try it too." York seemed to have flipped some strange switch.

"However, Emden is still a possibility, after all, he is a vice-captain, and not the kind with real power... But Seydlitz is a bit more difficult, right? He is from the Naval Academy, and he has real power. Putting aside the fact that Ironblood is not interfering, Seydlitz himself probably won't resign on his own, right?"

"There's always a way, as long as you swing the hoe well..." York didn't care at all. "Commander, are you interested?"

Ren Shuo gave a subtle smile: "Of course."

Ship girls are great! They even know how to help their commanders conquer ship girls. Isn't that amazing?

“Wait a minute, have we forgotten someone?” Lüzov suddenly spoke up.

"Who is it?" York asked instinctively, then thought of a certain timid figure and fell silent. "It seems I've forgotten someone..."

The two women exchanged a glance and said simultaneously, "Elbin!"

"Elbin? Who's that?" Ren Shuo asked疑惑地. These past few days, he'd heard them talk mostly about Emden and Seydlitz, as for this Elbin...

It seems like it really hasn't been mentioned even once?

“Elbin… is such an obedient child that it’s a bit exasperating,” York introduced. “How should I put it, Dido from the port, Commander, you know? She’s even more… exaggerated than Dido.”

"Even more exaggerated than Dido?" Ren Shuo was shocked. What would that be like?

“She’s the type who carries an umbrella on sunny days but doesn’t bring one on rainy days,” Lützow said after thinking for a moment. “If she carries an umbrella on a sunny day, she feels that it will definitely rain because of her, and if she doesn’t bring an umbrella on a rainy day, she feels that it will still rain because of her…”

"This...is he really that insecure?" Ren Shuo was stunned.

"So, girls like this are easy to fool. When the commander gets her, it will be very comfortable to bully her." Lüzov walked up to Ren Shuo, poked him, and grinned mischievously.

Ren Shuo coughed and said, "Am I that kind of person? Let me tell you, I love ship girls very much and I would never bully them."

"Mmm, please continue, I believe you."

Lützow was very perfunctory. After these few days of contact, I know what kind of commander you are.

Ren Shuo was also a little embarrassed: "Let's not talk about this. Let's talk about their information or something."
