Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

Chapter 1413: Conversation at the Dinner Party, Sensitive and Abnormal Reactions

Tonight's banquet still adopted the relatively free party format, but because it was mainly about matters within Yang Sikang's own fleet, there was no need to change into formal attire or anything, and the atmosphere was more casual and simple.

Delicious food, just the right amount of alcohol and a lively atmosphere are the best welcome for new members of the fleet. Moreover, such an environment makes it easier for the ship girls to get to know each other than in previous formal dinners.

The lovely Kitakaze and Ibuki, who made a surprising move when they first met, became the busiest people at the party. Everyone was very interested in them, and people kept surrounding them and asking them questions.

On the contrary, my wife, who is a super-A patrolman, is more free, probably because of her temperament and other factors, but the curiosity about her is no less.

In comparison, the other two heavy cruisers are a bit...

Yang Sikang looked towards the corner of the banquet hall. At the table closest to the corner sat Indianapolis, who looked helpless, and Portland, who was as excited as if he had taken stimulants, next to him.

However, this situation did not last long. After Bremerton took the initiative to move over, that place soon became a place where people gathered.

Yang Sikang sat aside and watched the interaction between the ship girls, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

A slight collision sound was heard. Yang Sikang turned his head and saw Dido placing a new cup of black tea in front of him. The sound just now was made by the collision between the cup holder and the hard table surface.

"Ugh, Master, did Dido disturb you?"

Seeing Yang Sikang suddenly turn around and look at her, Dido became nervous. Yang Sikang shook his head:

"Dido, aren't you going to join the others?"

"Dido believes that serving the master is more important. Of course! Dido will build a good relationship with her new companion!"

Dido said as she put a stack of biscuits on the table. Yang Sikang picked up one and saw from the corner of his eye that Dido looked very expectant.

After eating a piece, Yang Sikang smiled and said:

"The cookies are delicious, Dido."

"Ah, Master... This, this is what Dido should do, as long as the Master likes it!"

Dido bowed quickly, and Yang Sikang took the opportunity to touch her head and said softly:

"Don't be so nervous. You've been doing well. It's okay to be more confident."

“Wuwaa ...

Dido began to panic and spoke incoherently. She held the empty tray in front of her to cover her hot face, but she couldn't help but look at Yang Sikang.

Looking at her actions, Yang Sikang found it a little funny, but in order not to let this negative maid overheat, he held back and just kept smiling.

"By the way, Newcastle and Sheffield will be back soon. Dido, can you go greet them for me and bring them to the banquet hall?"

"Okay, master!"

"Dido."

Yang Sikang stopped Dido who was about to turn around and leave, and reminded her:

"Remember to bring Sirius and Charybdis, and put the things they brought back in the right place."

"Yes, Master!"

Dido happily left with the mission, and Yang Sikang shook his head helplessly.

Newcastle and Sheffield were supposed to be back before the dinner started, but now the dinner has been going on for half an hour and they have just returned.

Newcastle said in the contact that some unexpected situations occurred, which delayed us a little, but she said she wanted to explain the specific situation in person.

This made Yang Sikang feel that things might not be that simple, but now was not the time to think about these things.

Lexington and War-weary are very perceptive. If he rushes to understand the situation now, he will inevitably be discovered.

The maids were very efficient, and a few minutes later Dido had quietly brought Newcastle and others to the banquet hall.

As it should be, Newcastle and the others did not go directly into the banquet hall, but simply showed up and went to the kitchen.

Still, it was noticed.

Lexington came and sat down next to Yang Sikang and said softly:

"Miss Newcastle and the others are back, a little later than you scheduled?"

"It's a little late indeed. I wanted them to come back before the dinner, but they insisted on finishing the work at hand first."

Lexington smiled sweetly:

"Royal maids are always used to giving."

"But maids don't just give of themselves."

The Prince of Wales came over and sat down on the other side.

Dido, who had returned, immediately served tea to the two of them. For such a dinner party, Yang Sikang's approach was somewhat unconventional.

"I plan to go check out that metal mass later to see if I can peel it off. If it's really something from the Northern Union, I don't want to contact the Northern Union's shipgirls looking drunk. That might force me to drink piles of vodka when I go to the Northern Union in the future."

Yang Sikang's slightly teasing words made the two of them smile knowingly, but it was impossible to find better research conditions in this home port than Yang Sikang's, so only he could do this.

but……

"Does Commander Yang have someone convenient to contact? If not, we can contact the Northern Alliance directly."

As soon as Lexington finished speaking, the Prince of Wales echoed:

"The same is true for the Royal Family. The situation in the polar seas has something to do with us as well."

"That's not necessary. I happened to have some contact with Lingmin from the Northern Alliance before. As a researcher, I think it would be faster to confirm with her directly than to communicate through official channels."

The dinner gradually ended in a peaceful atmosphere. When it ended at midnight, Yang Sikang came directly to the laboratory as soon as he left the banquet hall.

He immediately began to analyze the structure and other information of the metal mass, and then Ingraham and others came here one after another.

In fact, the approximate origin of this thing has been determined, and all everyone needs is a definite answer.

The result was naturally as expected. With the help of Bai Ze and powerful machines, Yang Sikang and others figured out the structure of this thing in just half an hour and successfully decomposed it into several pieces.

When it was confirmed that the Northern Union's communication equipment was there, there was no need to continue dissecting it.

The next morning, Yang Sikang called Lingmin directly.

"Hello, who is this?"

Lingmin's doubtful and vigilant voice sounded. Before Yang Sikang opened his mouth, he had already heard a slight sound with his keen hearing. It seemed that Lingmin was recording.

"Hello, Miss Sensitive."

"Hmm? Commander Yang Sikang?"

Lingmin asked doubtfully, and Yang Sikang immediately replied:

"Yes, that's me. So could you please stop trying to parse the source of my signal?"

"Haha, I've been discovered. Commander Yang, what can I do for you? I've actually been a bit busy lately..."

"We encountered an Agent Fleet yesterday. After defeating it, we found a metal mass made of the wreckage of the Northern Alliance ships and communicators while cleaning up the battlefield."

Yang Sikang finished speaking quickly and concisely. There was silence for a moment on the other end of the terminal, and then he spoke quickly:

"Where are you now? White Eagle?"
