Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1436 The Nemesis of Royal Cuisine

The petite Iris battleship Flanders walked up the steps side by side with Marco Polo, who had a smug smile on his face.

"Hehe~ Things like arranging the banquet have to be done by me."

Marco Polo said with a proud chuckle, and Flandre took out a handkerchief and handed it to Memphis meta.

With the candlelight and fireworks shining on his face, Memphis meta finally calmed down, took Flandre's handkerchief, and stared at him with tears in his eyes.

"Flandre, you are now..."

"Commander, Flandre is fine. Miss Meta, the goddess of the hearth, has checked him out for me."

The small, angel-like battleship loli seemed to guess what he was going to ask and predicted it with a smile.

Lin Lan smiled and nodded at the lovely Flanders, then looked at Marco Polo:
"The arrangement of this banquet really amazed me, but if I'm not mistaken, Memphis meta must have also made a lot of suggestions, right?"

"Of course. After all, I didn't know there was such a good place in this mirrored carriage..."

Marco Polo praised Memphis meta generously, causing the meta girl to blush. She shyly covered her hot cheeks with a handkerchief and uttered a weak voice:
"It's just a small favor, it's no big deal."

The pink-haired meta girl's shy and cute appearance made Lin Lan sigh. Sure enough, even after becoming meta, Memphis' meta was still the same as White Eagle's Memphis.

"Hey, Commander, now is the time for you to say a few words and announce the start of the banquet."

Marco Polo glanced at the reputation meta and counterattack meta on the side, and the two dashing meta knights made way to the left and right, and then Marco Polo whispered a reminder to him.

If he were the old him, he would definitely be at a loss for words or stage fright in such an occasion.

But now, he and his ship girls have already experienced too many similar situations.

At his home port, he learned a lot from Queen Elizabeth about what a commander should say at such times.

So he smiled and nodded to Marco Polo, put his arm around the thin waist of Memphis, who was so flattered that her brain crashed, and walked to the steps of the meta church accompanied by the four ship girls.

Feeling the burning gazes of Algeria and Skyhawk, who had just met him not long ago, as well as the meta ship girls and the four arbitrators who finally reunited, he took a deep breath, hugged Memphis meta, smiled and said loudly:
"Everyone, as you can see, I have finally returned to you again.

“This has been a long and difficult journey, and I’m sorry to have made you worry about me before.

"Especially the Yorktown meta and all my fellow meta members."

His gaze turned to the white-haired meta aircraft carrier girl who covered her mouth with her hands and looked at him with affectionate eyes.

“But everything is over now. Antix is ​​back on track. It won’t be long before we can all return to the port area together.

"Let us take this banquet held in the Endless World Sea as a starting point and toast to a happy future together."

When he said this, all the girls in the garden raised their goblets.

But he suddenly realized something.

He doesn't have a wine glass in his hand!

"Pfft, you're still as dumb as ever, Commander."

Memphis meta saw his slightly embarrassed expression up close and laughed softly.

The next second, the pink-haired meta girl handed him a glass of wine that appeared out of thin air and was already filled with fine wine, as if by magic.

"As the commander's personal secretary, how can I let the commander worry about such a trivial matter?"

Lin Lan looked at the meta girl with a blushing face but an alluring smile, and smiled in understanding.

"Then everyone, cheers!" "Cheers!!!"

So he raised the wine glass handed to him by Memphis meta and announced the official opening of the reunion party on the train.

After raising a toast together, it is time to enjoy delicious food with the ship girls.

Although almost all of the meta ship girls have had their daily memories erased by the long battles, they have long forgotten how to cook banquet-level dishes.

But don’t forget that Sardinia and Iris are both top-notch masters of Western cuisine.

With the help of the chicks Andrea brought, every table in the garden was filled with exquisite iris and Sardinian dishes.

"Haha, just now we were worried about what to do if there was no food in the subspace, but we didn't expect that this problem would be solved because of this accident."

After he walked down the steps with several ship girls, the Sardinian Empire's aircraft carrier Lady Skyhawk said to him with a smile.

Elizabeth Meta, who was sitting at a table nearby, also hummed in a boastful tone:

"There is a section of my mirror carriage that is used as a warehouse, filled with food from various worlds."

"Thanks to you only having ingredients..."

When Lin Lan heard what Elizabeth meta said, he was about to tease her, but the next second, the words spoken from the meta queen's mouth made his face change suddenly:

"Sheffie, go and bring us the ninegill eel sashimi that the hunter caught in the deep sea world last time."

"As ordered."

Seeing Sheffield meta's mouth slightly raised with a sinister look, and bringing a plate of pickled purple strips of indescribable things to him, Lin Lan immediately gasped, and his sanity value dropped sharply:
"Don't do this kind of thing!!!"

Even though the Royal Ship Girls of the original world have become meta, they are still as bad as ever when it comes to food and cooking.

Fortunately, royal dark dishes like this are very rare, and Elizabeth meta is obviously teasing him on purpose.

This dark dish was completely eaten by Lavos.

Yes, Lavos, as the arbitrator, seemed to have a special liking for this kind of heavy-tasting dark cuisine. Even after eating it in front of him, he still looked unsatisfied.

"Don't be so surprised. Lavos's ability is to decompose matter and transform energy. She doesn't have a real taste system at all!"

Miss D, who was dressed like a lolita, jumped up to him and said to him, then looked at Herophant who was walking slowly towards him, with a defensive and vigilant look on her face.

"Long time no see, Des."

After Helophon politely nodded and greeted him and the meta ship girls sitting next to him, he looked at Miss D who was pouting and greeted her with a smile.

"Humph! I won't talk to the bad guy who stole my whale!"

The vindictive Miss D turned her cheek away and spoke angrily to the "senior" of the arbitration agency without mercy.

Seeing this, Helophont was not angry, but instead showed a smile of reminiscence on his face, and reached out to rub Miss D's head:
"You are still as willful and straightforward as before, making it hard for people to hate you."

Although Miss D was still pouting when Helophon touched her head, she did not resist at all.

From this, Lin Lan also realized that Miss D actually had a good relationship with Helophen.

"Herophant, Lavos, please sit down here. Herophant, I have something to ask you."

Seeing that Helophon and Lavos were still standing, Elizabeth meta invited the two arbitrators to sit with them.
