Then she would trot back and continue selecting.
She also sometimes shook her head, putting unsuitable items back into the small yellow chickens's backpack.
Whenever this happened, the small yellow chickens would become dejected.
Kashino would then earnestly persuade the other party not to be discouraged, explaining that while these materials couldn't be ingredients, they would definitely be useful elsewhere.
Just like her, her combat ability was weak, and her support ability wasn't strong, but even she, as humble as she was, could find her place by providing support from the rear, serving delicious and nutritious meals to her tired sisters, and thus finding her own position.
After hearing her story, the small yellow chickenss were greatly encouraged and became even more respectful of their job working for the Commander.
This scene, like a divine stick coaxing ordinary people to join the Commander's sect, was repeatedly played out in front of Jack.
"You are already shining enough, Kashino..."
"—Hmm? Did you say something just now, Commander?"
Kashino, holding an amethyst, looked up at Jack in confusion.
She seemed to have heard words like "shining."
That shouldn't be about her, right?
"I was saying that Kashino is already an excellent Shipgirl, possessing a character more dazzling than crystals or diamonds. The Commander is proud of you!"
Jack held her hand and praised her without reservation.
Kashino's mouth widened, a little at a loss.
She turned her head away, thinking that this would avoid the effusive praise.
But Jack's voice echoed in her mind again.
[Jack: You deserve this praise!]
Kashino stared into Jack's eyes, stunned for several seconds, then directly spun and jumped onto Jack.
"Commander!~"
"Hey hey! Why are you tackling me again?!"
Jack finally managed to tightly hug her waist, leaning back almost like a crescent moon.
"Kashino is very~ happy! Very~ pleased! Very~ blissful!"
The girl conveyed her love to Jack with her expressive eyes.
"Is that so? That's good then."
Jack smiled and no longer adjusted his posture, simply lying down directly.
Thud!
His head hit the ground, making a crisp sound.
"These materials are enough. You can leave now."
Seeing that Kashino's affection was tending towards lust, Jack waved away the small yellow chickenss.
It was the moment the small yellow chickenss disappeared.
Kashino finally couldn't hold back and directly kissed him from above.
...
Azure Lane World.
The destroyers' training ground.
"So hungry, so tired. Yuudachi has no energy and doesn't want to train anymore."
Yuudachi (Shiratsuyu-class destroyer, fourth ship) declared her surrender and lay down on the water on the spot.
Nowaki (Modified Shiratsuyu-class destroyer, third ship) walked towards her upon hearing this, poking Yuudachi's cheek with her index finger.
"A parade is no child's play. Even if you, Yuudachi, have reached the limit of Shipgirl level (Level 125), you should not be complacent. War… will not give us opportunities for temporary training."
"Ugh, but Yuudachi's tummy is hungry. When a Shipgirl is hungry, she should eat. The Commander said so!"
"As long as there's food, right? Then I'll go to the snack bar and get you some bread."
With that, Nowaki prepared to deliver food to Yuudachi, her sister from the Shiratsuyu-class destroyers.
But she had only taken two steps when Yuudachi dragged her leg.
Nowaki tilted her head: "Is there anything else?"
"Th-that, I'm tired of bread," Yuudachi said, scratching her cheek.
Nowaki frowned: "We are training, not at the dining table. Being picky is not a good habit, and eating only needs to fill your stomach. Satisfying excessive gluttonous desires will only lead to degradation."
Seeing Nowaki about to start lecturing, Yuudachi looked pitifully at Shimakaze nearby.
This attendant of Nagato, the Sakura Empire's flagship, had truly learned some of Nagato's essence.
Shimakaze reluctantly accepted Yuudachi's request and walked over, saying:
"Nowaki, you've misunderstood her. Yuudachi is probably wondering why Kashino, who usually returns at this time, hasn't come today, right?"
Yuudachi nodded vigorously immediately.
Nowaki also suddenly remembered that gentle Shipgirl. Somehow, recalling that gentle and sweet taste, her own stomach let out an uncooperative growl, and a flush crept up her face.
"Ara, so Nowaki is hungry too. Why don't we go to the Navy Cafeteria together to check on Kashino? Occasionally making a nutritional meal ourselves isn't bad, is it?"
Shimakaze covered her smile lightly and extended an invitation to Nowaki.
Nowaki coughed once and replied concisely: "Agreed!"
"Yay! —"
Yuudachi was the first to climb up from the water and immediately dashed toward the shore.
As she left, she didn't forget to shout into the distance: "Ayanami, Laffey, Wakatsuki, Yukikaze... it's time to eat!"
