Azur Lane Under the Stars

As for why they didn't look for Amagi and the others...

If we find Amagi, then Akagi and Kaga will all know about it, and they'll definitely come over too. In that case, why bother taking a nap? There's nothing to sleep on, so let's just train our legs and backs.

Oh, it can also help you work your glutes.

Ren Shuo activated time stop and appeared directly in front of Shinano, who was tidying up her bed.

Shinano was already used to it. She glanced at Ren Shuo and then continued making her bed.

After tidying up, she skillfully helped Ren Shuo take a quilt out of the closet, but after thinking about it, she put it back.

Shinano took off her coat, revealing her underwear and large expanses of snow-white skin, and crawled into the quilt, leaving only her head sticking out.

Shinano blinked, then lifted a corner of the blanket, patted Ren Shuo, and gestured for him to come in.

This gesture, combined with her innocent expression, makes Shinano look incredibly cute.

However, this action reminded Ren Shuo of his first time in this world, and his first night with Shinano in the old port area.

When Shinano, as ethereal as a rare orchid in a secluded valley, made such an adorable gesture, Ren Shuo inwardly exclaimed "awsl" (a Chinese internet slang term for extreme excitement or admiration).

Seeing the classic reissue, Ren Shuo couldn't help but chuckle, took off his coat and shoes, and crawled inside.

Unlike his restraint that night, Ren Shuo now naturally wrapped his arms around Shinano's slender waist, which was just the size of a hand. His hands felt warm and smooth, like the finest jade.

As I gently inhale the subtle fragrance of Shinano, a sense of peace washes over me.

Shinano also squinted her eyes slightly and buried her face comfortably in Ren Shuo's arms.

"Why did the Commander come to my side?" Shinano asked in a low voice.

"Nagato needs to see me this afternoon, so I'm taking a nap here. I'll go find Nagato after I wake up."

Perhaps because Shinano is a wedding ship, Nagato might also become a wedding ship after this afternoon, so Ren Shuo did not hide it from Shinano.

We'll be sisters sooner or later anyway, right?

A flicker of realization crossed Shinano's eyes. Oh, I see. That must be the matter. They asked me to come and help them.

The two exchanged a knowing glance and smiled meaningfully.

However, this deeper meaning might... have some subtle differences in its intended meaning and content?

The two whispered sweet nothings to each other, and before they knew it, Shinano's eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

Soon, Shinano fell into a deep sleep.

Looking at Shinano's sleeping face, which held a touch of naivety and holiness, Ren Shuo gently kissed Shinano's forehead before whispering:

Sweet dreams.

Then he closed his eyes and began his short nap.

The afternoon sun shone on the two people embracing, and everything seemed so peaceful and beautiful.

Time slipped by unnoticed, and before we knew it, an hour and a half had passed.

Shinano's breathing began to change noticeably, and her slightly trembling eyelids indicated that she was about to wake up.

The next moment, Shinano opened her eyes. Her eyes, as flawless as cobalt blue sapphires, were slightly moist, perhaps because she had just woken up from a nap, adding a touch of charm to her pure and beautiful face.

It makes her even more stunningly beautiful.

Shinano gradually regained his senses and smiled happily as he looked at the sleeping face in front of him, which resembled that of a big boy.

Sure enough, although I didn't sleep as long as usual, I felt more at ease and...happier with the commander by my side.

"I love you the most, Commander."

With a slightly flushed face, Shinano mumbled softly, and then offered a kiss from her afternoon nap.

Like a dragonfly skimming the water, the kiss was followed by a sudden, electric-like sensation, like first love, before abruptly withdrawing.

Shinano, like a child who had successfully pulled off a prank, smiled foolishly while secretly glancing at Ren Shuo.

Although I wish this carefree time could continue, the commander said there were things to do in the afternoon.

So Shinano gently pulled away from Ren Shuo's embrace, sat up, and suppressed the emptiness she felt after leaving his arms.

Shinano gently shook Ren Shuo: "Commander, get up. Aren't we going to the Divine Child's place?"

Ren Shuo gradually woke up from his dream, and the confusion in his eyes was gradually replaced by clarity.

Looking at Shinano, who was dressed only in her underwear and possessed unparalleled beauty, he suppressed his impulse and asked, "What time is it?"

"It's already 1:40 PM. Commander, if you get up and wash your face, then it will be just the right time to go to the Divine Child's place."

Shinano, like a virtuous wife, didn't care at all that Ren Shuo had seen her naked, and openly displayed her proud body in front of him.

It has to be said that even in the port area where hidden talents abound, Shinano's physique is among the best.

After helping Ren Shuo put on his clothes and shoes, and preparing a warm towel for him, Shinano took her own clothes and began to put them on.

Ren Shuo sat in the chair, watching Shinano get dressed, and remarked with admiration:

"Honestly, I feel like I'll be turned into a useless person by you guys sooner or later."

"That would be good too, wouldn't the commander be inseparable from us for the rest of his life?" Shinano joked.

Ren Shuo played along perfectly, saying with an air of seriousness, "You guys succeeded! Now I'm a useless person who can't live without you!"

"Hehe... Commander, it's almost time." Shinano chuckled and reminded him.

Ren Shuo nodded: "Then I'll be going now, see you later."

Shinano escorted him all the way to the room door, saying, "Have a safe trip."

…………

Nagato's courtyard has always been very quiet and secluded, perhaps because of Nagato's status as a divine child. Not many people dare to act recklessly in Nagato's courtyard, and even when passing by Nagato's gate, they will unconsciously lower their voices or walk quickly.

Of course, some of the more daring girls are not included in this category.

Nagato sat in the center with a tense little face, surrounded by the Sirens and her two little priestesses.

Of course, Yatsen and Richelieu were also positioned on opposite sides.

"Hmm, hasn't the commander arrived yet?" Nagato asked.

Fusang checked the time and replied, "My Lady, it's not time yet. The Commander should be on his way."

Yamashiro said, "My Lord, don't be in such a hurry. His Highness will come sooner or later anyway."

“Well, it’s just that…” Nagato’s fox ears twitched.

"Alright, this is the first time Nagato has written a letter to the Commander asking him to come to her room, so she's probably a little nervous, isn't she?"

Yi Xian laughed.

Nagato seemed a little embarrassed that her little secret had been exposed: "Well, yes, a little. This is the first time I've ever written a letter so formally."

"But I'm really curious, why did you write a letter? Wouldn't it have been simpler to just have the commander come over and say you have something to discuss?"

Richelieu expressed his doubts.

Nagato blushed slightly: "Well, it was just a sudden thought, and it just happened naturally..."

"Your Highness, the Divine Child, His Highness should have arrived."

Seemingly hearing the sound of a door opening, Fusang's ears twitched, and she spoke respectfully.

"I see..."

Nagato subconsciously smoothed out non-existent wrinkles on her clothes and sat up straight.

"Okay, you're in a good mood. I really don't understand you. When it comes to the upcoming plans, you're making it sound like a blind date..."

The observer glanced at Nagato and continued eating the red bean daifuku in front of him.

"How rude of you, Sirens," Nagato said, puffing out his cheeks.

But the conversation didn't continue because Ren Shuo had arrived.

"I've come to keep my appointment, Changmeng! Huh?"

As soon as Ren Shuo entered, he saw the girls lined up on both sides, clearly separated.

Seeing this impressive display of knowledge, Ren Shuo hesitated for a moment, wondering if he had misunderstood something.

And... I'm starting to panic about your formation.

Subconsciously, he looked at Yi Xian and Richelieu, who both had gentle expressions, trying to get some information from them, but the two of them lowered their eyes and looked at the teacups in their hands.

No, give me some feedback!

Ren Shuo panicked even more.

Nagato, her small face tense, raised her hand slightly: "Commander, sit down."

Ren Shuo sat down on the cushion opposite Changmen with trepidation.

"Commander, don't be nervous. We just need to ask you some questions."

Nagato said seriously.

Ren Shuo thought to himself, "No, you're making me even more panicked. You should just get to the point, why are you making such a fuss..."

"So, what is it?" Ren Shuo asked.

I also reflected on my actions, and I don't think there was anything wrong with them, right?

Given the current situation, Ren Shuo was genuinely afraid that if Nagato threw the teacup on the ground, eight hundred axemen would rush out from the inner room and behind the screen and finish him off with their axes.

"Yes, Commander, the creator of the Sirens, your mother, is about to wake up and knows her approximate location. Therefore, we wish to bring her home and have come to ask for your opinion, Commander."

Nagato explained.

"Previously, Fusang and Yamashiro also sensed it and asked Yixian and Richelieu about it. After they confirmed it, we finally got confirmation from the Dream Weaver."

Ren Shuo looked at Yi Xian and the others and received an affirmative nod. The Dream Weaver, who was usually lazy and sleepy, also spoke with a calm expression.

"Indeed, our Creator is about to awaken, and perhaps finally, the day and life she desires will arrive..."

Ren Shuo pursed his lips, thinking of the best possible ending and... a life surrounded by children and grandchildren?

probably.

Anyway, Ren Shuo didn't mind having an extra mother; in fact, he was somewhat looking forward to it.

After all, before coming into this world, he was the leader of the orphanage. After arriving in this world, he was suddenly told that he had a mother, and this mother had given him all the good things and even prepared a whole bunch of wives for him...

Yes, my biological mother.

"What is your plan? I agree," Ren Shuo said.

"Our plan is to welcome back our mother-in-law... no, our commander's mother, but the specific location, time, and some details still need to be discussed."

Nagato almost let something slip, but managed to smooth things over without making a sound.

But apart from the purifier who only knows how to eat and the bewildered Shancheng, who else present wasn't a shrewd and capable person?

Even Ren Shuo himself could hear the ambition in Nagato's voice.

Where is my mother-in-law...?

Richelieu and the others exchanged frantic glances, making Nagato's face flush slightly: "So! Commander, has he agreed to our plan?"

"Well, I agree. You can discuss the specifics yourselves. After all, these are things you're more familiar with."

Ren Shuo probably understood that this person had come to ask him for authorization, so he readily granted the authorization.

“Then let’s discuss it…” Nagato said. “Let’s tentatively set the time for tonight. Fusang, go and inform all the flagships, secretary ships, and ship girls who can manage things to gather in the conference room of the office building.”

"Understood, Divine Child..." Fusang bowed respectfully.

I took another look at Shinano, and her character art is absolutely stunning.

Chapter 629 Commander? No! Time Management Master!

After Nagato's invitation ended, Ren Shuo left with Richelieu and Yi Xian.

The three walked quietly along the cherry blossom corridor, admiring the cherry trees that never faded throughout the four seasons, feeling a sense of comfort in their hearts.

"Commander, you seem quite pleased about this?"
