Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1301: Reunion in the North (2900 words)
Not only Aurora, but Nasimov also discovered the flying spiritual weapon that was gradually approaching in their sight.

And the man whom she would never forget was standing at the front of the deck of the flying spirit vessel, waving at them.

"Hey, Comrade Minsk, am I hallucinating because of the drug addiction? The person standing on the deck of the flying spirit weapon... looks like Comrade Commander."

Gangut stared blankly at the flying spiritual weapon that was getting closer and closer to them, rubbed his eyes, and asked Minsk uncertainly.

Minsk was originally ecstatic, but when he saw the familiar and unfamiliar faces around Lin Lan, the smile on Minsk's face gradually froze.

"Comrade Commander is still at the home port, how could he appear with Siren and Meta?

"There are also comrades from Donghuang, Tashkent, Lingmin, and Kirov. We wouldn't even dream of such a combination, right?"

Minsk looked at the flying spiritual device that was coming in the snow and wind, and then said in confusion:

"And look, does the white-haired girl with the forehead protector next to the commander look familiar?"

"Good man...Richard?"

Aurora said the name in an uncertain tone.

This name instantly gave Gangut a shudder, and the drunkenness instantly dissipated.

"Okay, so it was the bad omen that was causing trouble?"

The magnificent steel ice dragon battleship was instantly unfolded by Gangut, and the gray-haired Northern Alliance lady's face was filled with anger:
“We in the Northern Union have not yet settled our previous scores, and the Omen actually dares to transform into the Commander and our lost comrades to tease us?

"I'm going to make a bad omen today... Comrade Nakhimov, what are you doing?!"

Gangut raised the barrel of the gun, but before she could finish her angry words, she was blocked by Nakhimov.

"It's not a bad omen, it's real Commander!"

The green-haired girl with cat ears, who always spoke in a cold tone, was now excited. She shouted to her companions with a very confident tone:
"That's our commander, the real commander!"

The second after Nasimov finished his excited words, a familiar voice that made them feel uneasy rang out in their communication channel:

"Gangut, don't fire! We are not illusions created by the bad omen! I have come to Natlan and the Northern Province to find you!"

"Commander! It's really the Commander!"

Kiev covered his mouth and sat slumped in the snow. The pitiful little girl raised her head, tears streaming down her cheeks uncontrollably.

After getting confirmation from Nakhimov, Minsk took off his hat in ecstasy, jumped up, and waved and cheered to Lin Lan and his companions.

Aurora also showed a relieved smile and raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face with her sleeve.

Gangut even retracted his ship suit, crouched down with a red face, covered his hot face, and kept muttering:

"It's bad, it's bad. How can I point my weapon at the commander and other revolutionary comrades? I'm going to be liquidated!"

When the flying spiritual weapon landed right above the five Northern Alliance ship girls, Lin Lan couldn't wait for the flying spiritual weapon to land and chose to jump down directly.

Before he could stand firm and greet his five Northern Alliance ship girls, Aurora came over with a gust of cold wind and hugged him tightly.

"commander……"

The silver-haired girl in his arms buried her head in his arms, as if she had finally unloaded a heavy burden. Her voice was filled with tiredness and deep happiness as she enjoyed the warmth that had been absent for a long time and that was so real that it couldn't be more real.

Lin Lan gently stroked Aurora's head, whose hat had fallen off in the snow, and was also filled with emotion.

This simple girl represented the birth of the Northern Union and was also his first sworn brother.

If it weren't for Aurora, he would probably never have been interested in the history of the Northern Alliance of Blue Star in the last century and read the materials to learn about that glorious past.

It is no exaggeration to say that this ship girl who inherited the great spirit is his enlightenment mentor.

Aurora was followed by the embrace of Nakhimov, Minsk and Kiev.

The four Northern Alliance ship girls hugged him tightly, as if they wanted to shield him from the wind and snow, using their body temperature to keep him from feeling cold.

Only Gangut, the warrior who always rushed to the front without fear in his impression, was looking at him with a conflicted look.

After a little thought, Lin Lan understood why Gangut was like this.

“Comrade Gangut!”

"In the!"

He shouted to Gangut while holding back his laughter, and the Northern Alliance lady, whose face was flushed, stood up straight in response.

"Your vigilance just now was excellent, so there is no need to blame yourself. Your enthusiasm and courage deserve praise!"

Hearing this compliment, Gangut's eyes widened at first, and then he burst into laughter, with mist covering his wine-red eyes.

"What? Comrade, you are still so considerate. I won't be polite then!"

The cheerful and dashing battleship girl strode over, opened her arms and hugged him tightly with the other four companions. "Aurora, you have worked hard in Beizhou...

"Oh my god, Gangut, how much water of life did you drink? Why do you smell so much like alcohol?"

"And Kyiv and Minsk, I'm sorry to have worried you...

"Wait! Nakhimov, your tail has entangled us all! Ouch!"

Lin Lan was originally happily calling out the names of the five Northern Alliance ship girls one by one.

But by the time he noticed the cables from the large cat Nakhimov were tangled around his legs, it was too late.

He and the five Northern Alliance ship girls lost their balance and fell in the snow, rolling several times.

But this "accident" also made Kiev and Minsk smile happily. Even Aurora, beyond his expectation, grabbed a ball of snow and stuffed it into the back of his collar.

"Hiss! It's so cold!"

Seeing that he had succeeded in her prank, Aurora actually showed a sly smile on her face:
"Hehe~ Commander, you came to us so late. This is your punishment."

As he was attracted by the pure and healing smile on Aurora's face, the flying spiritual weapon also lowered to a height that was suitable for the ship girls to jump off.

The first to fall was the Mercury Memorial.

The old female ghost had come out of the gloom in the outpost just now because of the reunion with her old friends, and her signature playful smile appeared on her face:

"Ah~ I didn't expect to see our comrade Aurora so cute as soon as she came back. This scene must be filmed~"

Hearing the teasing from this free-spirited old friend who had made her worried for a long time and who had now returned safely, Aurora blushed slightly and happily snuggled in the commander's arms without refutation.

As Mercury Memorial jumped down, Harbin, who also had a smile on his face, and the four guide girls, as well as Tashkent, Lingmin, and Xiongmeng, all jumped from the deck to the ground.

"Ah! I'm so glad you're all okay!"

Minsk was the first to untie the cables from his body.

The lively destroyer girl climbed up from him, saw her lost companion who returned with him, and flew into the smiling arms of Mercury Jinian again.

However, the careful Kiev was reluctant to let him go. After helping him untie Nakhimov's cables, he sat up and looked around, only to find that a familiar face was missing here.

"Commander, where is Comrade Kirov?
"Ah, no, shouldn't you still be at the home port? Why are you here..."

Hearing the question from the well-behaved girl from the Northern Alliance destroyer, Lin Lan lovingly touched Kiev's head and straightened the messy bangs for the petite silver-haired girl:

"She left Dongzhou before us. Well, this matter is complicated. Let's discuss the details after we get on board.

"Anyway, Kirov should be able to return to the temporary port area soon."

After he finished speaking to Kiev, he stood up from the snow with the help of Aurora and Nakhimov.

"Snapped!"

But as soon as he stood up, he was hit on the head by a snowball.

The behavior of this "attacker" immediately attracted the attention of all the ship girls present, and they looked at him——

"Huh? The atmosphere has been set, why don't we join the Commander in having a snowball fight?"

Fushun, who was still making a new snowball and was being stared at by several people, sensed the subtle change in the atmosphere, stopped what he was doing, and asked stupidly.

"Pfft."

Aurora couldn't help laughing, and then she reached out and gently brushed the snow off Lin Lan's forehead:

"Commander, looking at your expression... it seems like you have just been through something very heavy.

“Besides the Donghuang comrades and another Mercury Memorial comrade, you have some more, um, new comrades joining you.

Aurora smiled and looked at Miss D, Good Richard, Lang Yuexi and Bai Qixue:

"Why don't we just listen to Fushun and put aside those heavy things for now and have a snowball fight with everyone?"

Lin Lan looked at the cute braided light patrol girl with some surprise.

I have to admit that Aurora is really like a considerate big sister next door.

In addition to helping him cheer up, the snowball fight suggestion will also help everyone get closer to their new companions more quickly.

"Then I'll listen to you. Let's have a snowball fight. Whoever gets hit by the most snowballs gets to wash the dishes and clean up the kitchen for lunch!"

So with his nod of agreement, the snowball fight of the reunion officially began.

In the end, the good guys Richard and Miss D were hit by the most snowballs, but they also successfully resolved the misunderstanding with the five Northern Alliance ship girls through a snowball fight. This happened more than half an hour later.
