บท 77: Chapter 77: The Green Cat’s Love

After countless days and nights, Akashi, resigned to her fate, continued to silently accompany her commander.

She observed that while the commander was increasingly generous in her shop, his face bore more and more signs of weariness and silence.

He no longer smiled with genuine joy at the arrival of new companions.

Nor did he cheer sincerely after leading his comrades to thwart Siren plots or defeat powerful Siren flagships.

The entire port area was deeply concerned about the commander's state but felt powerless.

Even the flagship representatives from various factions found it increasingly difficult to meet with the commander.

The person who spent the most time with Lin Lan turned out to be her, the port area shop owner.

But no matter how much she tried to act cute or joke around, the commander seemed to be unable to hear her.

It was also unclear when the commander had stopped petting her head every time he came.

Akashi felt a deep sense of worry but gradually realized that she and the commander seemed to belong to different worlds.

Nevertheless, she had grown accustomed to greeting the commander with the most enthusiastic demeanor whenever he arrived.

It was their unspoken understanding, and Akashi would maintain it forever.

No matter how much time passed, she would always show a warm smile to the commander.

Perhaps, only this way could she make the commander feel a bit better, Meow.

This situation continued until one night.

While Akashi was napping on the shop's counter, the commander burst in urgently.

"Mm, Meow, it's the commander... Why are you staying up late again, Meow... There's no new stock today, Meow..."

Seeing the commander, who looked exhausted with dark circles under his eyes, Akashi groggily got up and gently rubbed against him with concern.

"It's been a while since I petted your head."

"Meow?"

The weary man spoke as he gently patted her little head, just like when they first met years ago.

"Akashi, buy an oath ring."

The commander came to her counter and took out a wad of Red Gems from his pocket.

"Meow... Commander, which faction's foolish girl are you eyeing now, Meow? Well, whatever, it's not for me anyway, Meow..."

Though Akashi was very happy to be petted, she had long realized that no matter what she said, the commander couldn't hear her.

Buying rings must be a daily affair for this mischievous ringmaster.

The commander's words were probably just a sleepy illusion.

Akashi handed a ring box to the man, yawned cutely, and prepared to go back to sleep.

"Akashi, you've worked hard managing the port area all these years, serving me and the other shipgirls every day."

"Although I've always joked about you being a schemer and knew about the little tricks you and Shiranui have done, well…"

"I actually forgot to make a vow with you all these years, I'm really sorry…"

The man held the ring box, his voice hoarse but very gentle.

"C-Commander Meow?"

Akashi, who had already climbed onto the counter, was stunned. Hadn't she been told that she wouldn't be heard?

The cat-eared loli looked at the commander's apologetic eyes, unsure how to respond.

"Let's go, Akashi. We're going to the shrine."

"My hardworking little shop owner, my cute schemer."

"We're going to make a vow."

So, Akashi was taken by the commander to the shrine late at night.

In the presence of the arriving companions as witnesses, she finally wore the unique, limited-edition cat-eared white outfit she had secretly prepared for a long time.

She stared dazedly as the commander gently placed the dazzling oath ring on her right ring finger.

At that moment, dressed in the white, shoulder-exposing outfit resembling a shrine maiden's attire, with green long hair, tears rolled down in large drops from the cat-eared little schemer's eyes.

Years of effort finally paid off.

Akashi was probably the happiest shipgirl in the world.

This was the rarest and most expensive thing, something that money could never buy.

The fantasy she had held for so many years finally came true at this moment. 

Akashi's cat ears drooped, her small hands tightly holding the commander's hand as she fought back her sobs.

The cat-eared loli lifted her head, staring intently at the worn and tired face of the man, as if she wanted to engrave it into her soul.

Although she didn't know how to advise her commander to take care of his health, she knew that the only thing she could do for him at that moment was to show her happiness and repay his vow with her best self.

"The commander has always taken care of Akashi's business, so Akashi can only dedicate herself to you, Meow!"

"...Meow, just kidding~ I like the commander the most, yes, more than gems, Meow!"

"And from now on, I'll always like you the most, Meow!"

The appearance of the weary man from her memories slowly overlapped with Lin Lan walking towards her.

Akashi didn't notice that tears had quietly begun to fall from her pale face.

She stood dazed at the port entrance, watching the young man, who was much taller than her, walk up to her.

Even if his first words were criticisms, she would accept it, Meow.

Akashi made up her mind and tightly closed her eyes.

However, the next second, the green-haired cat-eared loli was lifted from the ground by a pair of strong, warm arms.

Then...

"Hahaha, I've wanted to hold you in my arms and pet you for a long time. I was always afraid I'd find that I'd pet your ears and head bald one day."

Lin Lan laughed heartily as he cradled the cute cat-eared schemer in his arms, one hand firmly stroking the dazed loli's face.

"C-Commander Meow…"

The little loli in his arms was being petted but did not struggle.

Instead, she made soft sobbing noises.

Oh no, did I pet her too hard and make her cry?

Lin Lan's heart skipped a beat, and he stopped, thinking about apologizing and setting Akashi down.

But he found that she had tightly hugged him and wouldn't let go.

"Akashi?"

"Commander, why did you leave Akashi, Meow…"

"Do you know how much money Akashi saved up in the port area for you, and how many fun things I prepared to show you, Meow? Why did you irresponsibly leave me behind, Meow…"

"Without you, what's the use of all the money I saved, Meow!"

"Do you know how many dangerous places I went to find you, and how worried I was for you, Meow!"

"Do you know that every night, Akashi dreams of you petting me… Meow…"

"Meow woo woo…"

Lin Lan had never seen Akashi cry before.

In his impression, Akashi was a cheerful, always lazy shipgirl with a perpetual business smile, the sly little schemer who was always trying to trick him into spending money.

He didn't expect that this little schemer who had been by his side since the launch had such deep feelings for him.

And he hadn't realized it earlier.

In fact, Lin Lan also felt guilty towards the little schemer Akashi.

Because at the beginning, he had indeed forgotten to make a vow with this cat-eared loli whom he had seen almost every day since the launch.

After all, with so many meetings, he had instinctively thought that he had already made the vow with Akashi.

It wasn't until he saw a group member's post about Akashi's vow skin while working late and checking the group chat that he suddenly realized.

Oh no, it seems I haven't given the shopkeeper her ring yet!

So, even though he was busy with overtime, he immediately logged on in a hurry late at night, bought the ring, and made the vow with this hardworking little shopkeeper in the port area.

บท 78: Chapter 78: The Overhauled New Port Area (Part 1)

The past memories made Lin Lan lower his head with a complex expression, looking down at Akashi, who was crying and clinging to his chest, a small tearful cat.

The little schemer emitted soft sobs, her slender and petite body trembling slightly from the crying.

Lin Lan gently stroked the green bangs and the dazed tuft of hair on Akashi's head.

His eyes were filled with guilt as he leaned closer to the little loli's cat ear and gently whispered:

"Little shopkeeper, I'm sorry."

"I won't leave you again in the future."

Hearing his words, Akashi's cat ears twitched slightly.

"R-really, Meow?"

The cute cat-eared loli, with yellow eyes still glistening with tears, looked up at him, evoking sympathy.

Seeing Akashi's pitiful appearance, Lin Lan answered solemnly:

"Of course it's true. I didn't mean to leave you before, so please don't cry anymore, my little shopkeeper."

He certainly wouldn't leave his shipgirls again.

As he spoke, Lin Lan lifted his arm, allowing Akashi to sit directly on his arm.

"Well then, if that's the case, Akashi will forgive the commander for leaving without a word, Meow…"

"From now on, you have to come to buy things from Akashi every day and play with Akashi, Meow."

Upon hearing Akashi's words, Lin Lan nodded affirmatively and promised.

"That's a must. I haven't petted your little head enough yet."

The cat-eared loli, sitting on Lin Lan's arm, quickly wiped away the tears from her face with her white sleeve.

She tied her green long hair back and tidied it up quickly.

On her round face, the long-missed schemer's smile finally appeared.

The little schemer opened her arms and tightly hugged Lin Lan's neck.

"So we've agreed, Meow. From now on, the commander must come to find Akashi for anything you need, Meow!"

Meanwhile, on the yacht, Ulrich, Elbe, and others approached.

"Akashi, when did you manage to bring so many Manjuus?"

Elbe looked in surprise at the seven or eight Manjuus carrying various tools around Lin Lan's feet, glancing suspiciously at Akashi.

"Wow, it's Manjuus!"

U101 and U556, the two loli submarines, saw the Manjuus and happily ran over, each hugging a Manjuu and rolling on the ground.

Hearing Elbe's words, Lin Lan realized.

He had only brought one Manjuu from the Iron Blood fortress, so what was with all these Manjuus on the ground?

"Meow heh heh, how could you know how much stock Akashi's shop has, Meow?"

Contrary to Elbe's expectations, Akashi not only shook off the timidity she had when traveling with them but also proudly showed off.

After finding the commander, Akashi, like finding her former support, sat on Lin Lan's arm, looking at Elbe with the corner of her eye, revealing a scheming smile.

"You!"

Elbe was about to get angry but found that Akashi had already snuggled up to Lin Lan's neck again, acting like a clingy little cat who had found its owner.

This must be her true nature.

Elbe gritted her teeth, looking at Akashi, who had always been so pitiful since the commander's disappearance.

In the end, she crossed her arms and huffed.

Well, Akashi, with the commander backing you up, you're quite something.

"These Manjuus were probably hidden in the mass-produced ship parts by her."

Just as Elbe was still fuming over Akashi's smugness, a calm female voice came from the entrance of the port area.

Lin Lan looked at the newcomer in surprise.

The mature Iron Blood shipgirl had short hair that was distinctly divided into black and white.

She wore the same sexy black bodysuit as Agir, outlining her perfect athletic figure.

On her left hand was a heavy metal gauntlet, and she wore long black high-heeled boots, draped in a black and red cloak.

Her attire, full of heroism, made it impossible for any man to look away.

Facing the woman who walked up to him, Lin Lan's first impression was of a battle-hardened Valkyrie arriving before him.

The woman with a steady expression scrutinized Lin Lan with her resolute red eyes. After a while, she smiled faintly.

"Iron Blood's O-class battlecruiser, Brunhilde. Commander, long time no see."

"Brunhilde, long time no see."

Lin Lan, holding Akashi in his arms, smiled at the Iron Blood battlecruiser named after Norse mythology and waved.

"I'm really sorry. Not only was I not able to be by your side immediately when you returned, but I also couldn't come to protect you in time when you were in danger. Please allow me…"

Hearing the Iron Blood Valkyrie's apology as her first words, Lin Lan quickly interrupted:

"Please, I've heard enough apologies today. I've never blamed you."

After speaking to Brunhilde, he was reminded of the white light he saw in the spiritual world.

He immediately turned to the cute Akashi in his arms and asked:

"If I remember correctly, you were the one who saved me? What about the shrine maiden and the talisman?"

"Wah Meow, this is a long story, Meow. If Akashi hadn't been brought to you by Brunhilde and the others, you would have been in real danger, Meow."

Seeing that Lin Lan wasn't blaming her for the silly things she did in the hospital and with U1206, Akashi relaxed and said to Lin Lan.

"I'm also very curious about this, but let's wait until the commander is back in the port area to discuss it slowly."

The silent Ulrich spoke up at this time, and Brunhilde nodded in agreement:

"Sir Ulrich is right. We can't keep the commander standing here. Please follow me, Commander."

So, Lin Lan set down his little shopkeeper and, with the group, followed Brunhilde into the port area.

Walking through the port area, which was still a wasteland a few days ago, he saw that even the green spaces and pipeline reservation slots were already dug up, making him somewhat astonished.

It's well-known that construction progress and quality are inversely proportional; the faster the progress, the rougher the work.

However, in his port area, not only was the progress astonishingly fast, but even details like landscaping and water and electricity pipeline planning were being taken care of.

He began to seriously doubt his years of construction experience.

Do you even know what real construction is? This is construction.

"No wonder the port's logistics master, Akashi, the area truly changes every day."

Z23 also looked around at the buildings and the Manjuus working on the interior renovations, making a comment for Lin Lan.

She could also be considered one of the shipgirls who first got to know Akashi.

Praising the labor's results, Akashi puffed out her chest:

"It's mainly thanks to the Iron Blood companions' ship parts and the salvaged Siren steel, Meow."

"Otherwise, even with me and the Manjuus, it would have been impossible to build a new port area so quickly, Meow."

Akashi's words revealed why the port area was being constructed so quickly.

The problem of missing steel materials was not difficult to solve. 

They had directly salvaged the Siren mass-produced models sunk by Brunhilde and the others nearby and used them as ready materials.

And the heavy work that the Manjuus couldn't handle could be completed with the help of the Iron Blood shipgirls using their ship parts.

It was through this collective effort that the port area was built so quickly.

"Commander, remember to settle the port area construction fees later, Meow. The total cost for the new port area construction is…"
