บท 11: Chapter 11: Extra (2) - A Moment of Reflection

Whenever she had these doubts, she would look down at the clear, sparkling ring on her left ring finger.

This ring was the only proof that the man had ever existed.

Over the past year, Bismarck had awakened with tears more than once in the middle of the night.

She dreamt that the man who had personally placed the ring on her finger had vanished like the wind, and that the ring was just a beautiful dream.

Bismarck had never shared this suspicion with anyone, including Frederick the Great.

As the proud leader of Iron Blood, she could not let anyone see her weak side.

If even she doubted the possibility of finding the Commander, how despairing would it be for the many Iron Blood shipgirls?

But… What if?

What if the Commander really belonged to another world, and had returned to his own world, never to come back?

After all, those Ember Spirits came from other worlds too. Could the Commander be the same?

Bismarck's deepest fear was kept secret from everyone.

But now, as she watched Lin Lan approach with a guilty smile, all her worries seemed to vanish.

"Commander, it's been a long time. You… look much younger."

Even though she had countless things to say and missed him dearly, Bismarck found that she could only say this.

Like Tirpitz, neither of the sisters was very good at expressing their personal feelings.

However, her blue eyes, diverted in guilt, betrayed her true emotions towards Lin Lan.

The Z-ship and U-boat chibis, seeing Bismarck greeting Lin Lan, moved aside to give them space.

Lin Lan looked at Bismarck, the confident Iron Blood leader who now avoided meeting his gaze.

For some reason, he was reminded of a memorable storyline from past events.

Iron Blood, notes, and oaths.

The flagship Bismarck, who sacrificed her life so that Iron Blood could sail freely on the ocean and escape its destined fate.

Now, she was standing right in front of him so vividly.

He suddenly recalled how, when the game first launched, Iron Blood had only a few ships, and getting them was very difficult.

Even the first research phase, which required collecting Roon's blueprint, was beyond the reach of many new players, causing frustration among them.

With the introduction of new events and more Iron Blood research ships, the Iron Blood fleet at the port grew larger.

In just a few years, Lin Lan had built a powerful Iron Blood fleet that no other faction could compete with.

Seeing Bismarck, who was too shy to look at him and seemed like a bashful Persian cat, Lin Lan's original concerns melted away. He smiled and walked up to her.

"I don't know how I became younger, but you, my Bismarck, you seem to have become quite worn out over this long period."

Lin Lan admitted that after realizing the shipgirls in this port were his game characters, he had become bolder.

Before today, he would have kept his distance from a dignified military leader like Bismarck.

But now, he felt as if he were returning home, reuniting with a long-lost family member, and could even tease her playfully.

Hearing Lin Lan's words, Bismarck closed her eyes for a moment, took a deep breath, and tried to hold back the tears that had almost gathered at the corners of her eyes.

But before she could do so, Lin Lan embraced her.

Honestly, Lin Lan knew Bismarck's personality well.

The Iron Blood workaholic had probably been overburdened for quite some time.

Bismarck was a natural leader and the pillar of Iron Blood. Since her inception, she had borne far more than others.

Lin Lan understood that if he wasn't straightforward, Bismarck would likely keep all her struggles to herself.

After all, Lin Lan had shouldered heavy burdens himself, and Bismarck's gaze couldn't hide her hardships from him.

During late-night work, Lin Lan had occasionally read about Bismarck's activities and character, learning about her silent sacrifices for Iron Blood's rise.

No one wanted Iron Blood's strength and prosperity more than Bismarck.

"Bismarck, look around you."

Holding Bismarck's rigid form, Lin Lan whispered softly by her ear hidden under her golden hair.

"I promised to give you a powerful Iron Blood navy that could dominate the ocean, and now that's been achieved."

"So, promise me, don't overwork yourself anymore, okay?"

These were the words Lin Lan had long wanted to say to Bismarck.

Now that he could actually meet his shipgirls, he wouldn't let them work so hard anymore.

The Z-ship and U-boat chibis watched the scene in silence, smiling but not making a fuss.

Tirpitz and August also remained silent, knowing that this moment was meant for these two.

Bismarck's stiff body gradually relaxed, and Lin Lan noticed his shoulder becoming damp. Just as he was about to continue speaking, he heard Bismarck softly hum.

"Commander, don't think I'm an easily placated girl."

"When you return, there's still a lot of work left for Iron Blood. Don't think that saying these things will let you slack off."

Lin Lan chuckled, releasing Bismarck. The once stern and serious face now seemed to carry a hint of blush under the fortress's night lights.

"It looks like you're not going to let me off easily."

He joked, rubbing the back of his head.

"…"

Bismarck, peeking through her bangs pushed down by the military hat, looked at his face seriously, making Lin Lan's smile freeze.

After a moment, Bismarck seemed to come to her senses and burst into a soft laugh.

"I was just mesmerized, Commander. This is the first time I feel I can see you so clearly."

Bismarck's words made both Tirpitz and August nod in understanding, as well as the Z-ship and U-boat chibis.

บท 12: Chapter 12: Inside the Fortress

Bismarck's words were so accurate.

Before this, Lin Lan had increasingly faded from their memories, to the point of feeling almost unreal.

Though he was supposed to be the one she had sworn her vows to, and the most important person in her life, their memories of him felt dreamlike.

Lin Lan was taken aback by Bismarck's words.

He felt a bit awkward, since before his crossing over, he really thought it was just a game.

However, he was also very clear that the genuine feelings he had always invested in them were real and there was nothing to feel guilty about.

Seeing the Iron Blood shipgirls lost in thought, Lin Lan joked:

"Well, it's so late now, don't just stand here and dazed. I'm really looking forward to seeing what your fortress is like. Are you going to show me around?"

Lin Lan's words brought Bismarck and the others back to the moment.

"That's true. Everyone has worked hard and returned from their missions."

Bismarck nodded, realizing her previous mistake, and said to Tirpitz:

"Little sister, you and August take these kids to the bathhouse first. I'll show the Commander around the fortress. We'll meet in the cafeteria later."

After assigning the tasks, Tirpitz and August led the group of reluctant, frequently looking back lolis into the fortress.

At the dock, only Bismarck and Lin Lan remained.

"Commander… follow me, and I'll give you a proper tour of our fortress."

Bismarck's face looked quite unnatural. When it was just the two of them alone, she felt a bit nervous, despite having known each other for many years and having exchanged vows.

Lin Lan looked at Bismarck with some confusion. He remembered her as someone decisive and efficient, but now she seemed hesitant.

"Do you… want to hold my hand? I'm afraid you might…"

Bismarck slightly turned her face away, her gaze fixed on the ground, speaking in a soft, hesitant voice.

Seeing Bismarck, usually so stern and unyielding, acting shy was endearing. Lin Lan took a deep breath.

If he didn't take initiative now, would he still be a man?

He reached out, took Bismarck's right hand, which was now gloveless, and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, I'm not made of glass. Let's go. I'm eager to see what your fortress looks like."

The moment he held Bismarck's hand, Lin Lan felt her small hand tremble slightly. This shy side of Bismarck was truly adorable.

They walked along the port road into the fortress.

The cool night sea breeze brushed against them, bringing a refreshing feeling.

Feeling the warmth from their joined hands, which seemed to provide a reassuring strength, Lin Lan experienced a rare sense of relaxation.

It had been a long time since he had felt this leisurely.

Bismarck's golden hair gently swayed with the sea breeze, and even her black Iron Blood uniform couldn't hide her perfect figure.

Walking by the seaside with such a lovely companion, Lin Lan felt his weary soul ease at that moment.

"Bismarck, this should be the mirrored sea, right?"

Lin Lan broke the silence, holding Bismarck's hand.

Bismarck nodded and said, "Yes, this is our mirrored sea, created by us. No enemy can easily enter here."

"Maintaining such a large mirrored sea and such a big fortress, where do you get your energy from?"

Lin Lan asked curiously.

"With the help of Siren technology, the fortress and the mirrored sea can directly draw endless energy from the ocean. Frederick and I have thoroughly studied this technology."

As they continued walking, Bismarck gradually adjusted to Lin Lan's presence.

When discussing these technical aspects, her tone regained its natural confidence.

"Indeed, Iron Blood technology is truly the best in the world."

When in doubt, rely on Siren technology.

Lin Lan smiled, not understanding all the details but feeling impressed nonetheless.

"If you want to visit the core of the fortress, I can take you there later."

Bismarck said.

Shaking his head, Lin Lan indicated that he was just asking out of curiosity and that there would be plenty of time to explore the fortress in the future.

"Do you still have contact with other factions in the port?"

He asked with concern, not wanting Iron Blood to be isolated by other factions as in previous game plots.

Bismarck laughed lightly: "Of course we have contact. I'm sure when the news of finding the Commander spreads, they will all be excited and come to visit you."

The two of them continued chatting as they arrived at the fortress's main entrance.

With a red verification laser sweeping over Bismarck, the heavy black doors adorned with the Iron Cross slowly opened.

Upon entering the fortress, the floor was covered with deep red carpets, and luxurious chandeliers overhead cast a yellowish light. The walls were decorated with oil paintings hung like art pieces.

"At this hour, most of the girls should be asleep, and some are still out on missions and haven't returned."

"This is the main hall. We usually hold our pre-expedition ceremonies here."

"Up ahead is the floating lift, which can reach different floors. The fortress has five floors, each with different functions."

Bismarck guided Lin Lan, explaining the interior layout of the floating island fortress.

"The first floor, besides the main entrance, has three side doors. My sister and the others went through one of the side doors to the bathhouse."

"After returning from an expedition, taking a bath in the bathhouse is a fine tradition." 

"After bathing, they can also use the maintenance area outside the bathhouse to repair and care for their equipment."

"The second floor of the fortress is for dining. It has the cafeteria, tavern, and a pastry room that the destroyers and submarines love."

Listening to Bismarck, Lin Lan's stomach audibly growled. He realized he had barely eaten anything all day.

Bismarck noticed Lin Lan's stomach growling and smiled slightly. "Tirpitz and the others should have already informed Eugen. They'll definitely prepare a big meal for you soon."

Lin Lan nodded with a smile. He had heard about the Iron Blood's sausages, potatoes, beef, and bread, and couldn't help feeling excited.

"The third floor is for books, entertainment, relaxation, and fitness. Some girls with personal hobbies also have private rooms on this floor."

"The fourth floor is for our dormitories. Your room… I'll arrange it here too."

As Bismarck continued the tour, they passed through the hall and arrived at a large, translucent, dark red floating elevator that looked straight out of a sci-fi movie.

Stepping into the elevator, Lin Lan looked around, marveling at the futuristic setting.

"The fifth floor is the office area, with various meeting rooms and document processing rooms."

As the translucent elevator slowly ascended, Bismarck finished explaining the functions of each floor.

"Where are the energy core and equipment rooms you mentioned?"

Lin Lan, who had a background in engineering, asked after listening to Bismarck's explanation.

"Those are located in the underwater area beneath the first floor. There are three more levels below the fortress's sea surface."

"The third deepest level is the fortress's energy core area. The second deepest level is the functional equipment area, and the deepest level is the storage area, where supplies, oil, and ammunition are kept."

As Bismarck explained, the elevator gradually came to a stop.

Guided by Bismarck, Lin Lan exited the floating elevator onto the second floor of the Iron Blood fortress.

This floor was arranged with the Iron Blood's characteristic simplicity, with walls covered in brown wallpaper. Through the windows, Lin Lan could clearly see the night view of the sea outside the fortress.

"This is our cafeteria."

After a few steps, Lin Lan saw a wooden door that had not been locked. Bismarck let go of his hand and pushed the door open.
