Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 678: The natural enemies of small profiteers—Chongying’s family
"Great job Kirishima! That was a big help!"

Lin Lan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the escaping Akashi being caught. He walked forward with Amagi with a smile, and at the same time thanked the dashing and handsome Shigesakura ninja.

After hearing his words, Kirishima's purple eyes looked at him and curved into a crescent shape, although his face was covered by black cloth:

"It's just a piece of cake. I just happened to be practicing in the woods with Akatsuki and Kuroshio. I came over to take a look when I heard some noise."

For some reason, Lin Lan could smell a faint fragrance after walking in front of Kirishima and Akashi.

This fragrance seems to be carefully blended from some kind of plant. If you are not a person with a very keen sense of smell, it is easy to ignore this smell.

Looking at Kirishima in ninja attire, Lin Lan probably guessed that this scent should be emanating from Kirishima.

After he melted the ice at Akashi's feet, he looked at the pitiful little profiteer who was still lifted up in the air by Kirishima. He stretched out his hands and rubbed Akashi's chubby cheeks hard.

"I won't eat you, why are you running so fast?"

"Hmm...Commander, I was wrong, meow..."

Akashi let him rub his face without any resistance, drooping his cat ears, and hesitantly wanted to apologize.

"Oh? You are wrong, then where did you go wrong?"

Seeing Akashi admitting his mistake, Lin Lan stopped ravaging the kitten's tender white cheeks and asked with a sneer.

"me……"

Under the gaze of Lin Lan, Amagi, and Kirishima, Akashi was still hesitant to tell the truth about how she had been secretly filming the commander, and thought about whether to find some other excuse to get through.

But Kirishima noticed that Akashi was reluctant to speak, so he suggested to Lin Lan very thoughtfully in a joking tone:

"Uh-huh, Commander, a friendly reminder. As ninjas of Chongsakura, we have professional interrogation techniques. Do you need me to use them on this naughty little cat?"

"Meow! My mistake was that I shouldn't have secretly taken photos of the commander and used them as material for Aoba, meow!"

Before Lin Lan even had time to speak, Akashi was so excited that he confessed honestly.

Hearing Akashi suddenly change his words and admit everything so readily, he couldn't help but look at Kirishima a few more times in surprise.

Good guy, are the ninja's interrogation methods really so powerful, how can they make this little profiteer so scared?

However, after Kirishima heard Akashi explain the consequences of his crimes, he said in a deep voice:
"Akashi, you can just secretly take photos of the commander. After all, everyone has this hobby to some extent."

"But you still dare to send those photos to Aoba, the biggest unscrupulous reporter in Minato City. You must be punished."

"Commander, I suggest you give her to me and let her experience the life of a ninja."

Although the purple-haired black-horned ninja sister had a very serious tone, she winked playfully at Lin Lan and Amagi while speaking.

Lin Lan suddenly realized that Kirishima was planning to frighten Akashi with one of him being a good person and the other a bad person.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard Kirishima's words, the kitten turned pale and let out a cry of misery and fear:
"Meow! No, I don't want to practice like you ninjas, meow! Akashi will die, meow!"

Then Akashi suddenly focused his attention on Lin Lan, who was looking at her with a smile, and begged with tears in his eyes:

"Commander, I don't dare anymore, nya. Yes, that's right, I can make up for it, nya. I will take you to find Qingye. I have a way to persuade her to give up issuing press releases, nya!"

To be honest, Lin Lan never expected that the person who could really control Akashi would be Akashi's hometown Chongying camp.

Although he didn't know what the training of ninjas was like.

But looking at the completely frightened Akashi in front of him, it was obvious that this kind of ninja training would not be easy.Even if he knows about ninjas through anime and comics, he also knows that in order to become a qualified ninja, he must go through a series of devilish training.

And even Akatsuki, the leader of the six-wheel drive, will admit that she still has a lot of practice that she has not done enough, and she is not a qualified ninja.

One can imagine how difficult it is for these ninjas to practice.

But no matter what, since Akashi was frightened and knew his mistake, he also expressed his intention to make up for it. Lin Lan also nodded with satisfaction.
After he and Amagi looked at each other, he looked at the pitiful little profiteer and said with a smile:

"Since you know how to repent, Kirishima, give her a chance."

"What, I thought I could have an extra ninja companion."

Kirishima's tone seemed to be very reluctant. After speaking, she threw the Akashi in her hand into Lin Lan's arms and said to Akashi at the same time:
"Akashi, congratulations on your escape, but this is for the sake of the commander. You are not allowed to join in with Aoba again in the future."

At this time, the green-haired kitten girl was nestled in Lin Lan's arms, hugging Lin Lan tightly, and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice after hearing Kirishima's words.

Seeing Akashi like this, Lin Lan became even more convinced of what he had just thought.

Sure enough, in the entire Minato area, Akashi's only natural enemies were the family members of the Shige Sakura camp.

After that, Lin Lan also told Akashi and Kirishima about his arrangements after entering the Godwood Barrier.

Knowing that Aoba planned to make such a big news, Kirishima also took the initiative to apply to go with Amagi to find Mikasa, and then went to Aoba's dormitory together.

Lin Lan was of course in favor of having such a reliable battleship ninja join the team.

But just when he put Akashi down from his arms and planned to walk back to the torii entrance of the shrine to pick up the mental cubes that Akashi had just thrown on the ground, a cute cry came from behind him:

"Chirp, chirp, chirp!" "Chirp, chirp!"

Lin Lan turned around and saw that it was the two wild chirps that were cleaning the streets before.

The two barbarians had already collected the mental cubes scattered on the ground for him, and held them with their wings before walking behind him.

This saves him from getting the Mind Cube himself. Since Akashi is going to find Aoba, he directly recruits these two barbarians to follow him into the shrine.

So they walked to the red torii gate of the shrine together. Amagi took Akashi and Kirishima and waved goodbye to him:

"My Lord, Amagi and others will leave first. There will be a shrine maiden in the shrine to take you into the sacred tree barrier. After Aoba's matter has been dealt with, Amagi will be waiting for your return at the five-story pagoda."

"No problem, I'll be back as soon as possible."

Lin Lan smiled and waved to the three Sakura ships, saying that he would complete the magic replenishment for the Demon King as soon as possible and head to the five-story pagoda.

As Mikasa said yesterday, there are still many matters in the Shigesakura camp that need to be decided by him as the commander.

There are also things like the arrangement of courses for teaching elemental skills and the current situation of researcher Yubari's laboratory, which also require him to discuss with Mikasa, Nagato, Musashi and others.

His work tasks today are quite heavy.

After saying goodbye to Amagi and others, Lin Lan led the two Manju holding the Mind Cube into the torii gate.

Surrounded by cherry blossom trees on both sides, they walked on the stone path and listened to the birds singing in the woods on both sides. They soon arrived at the entrance of the shrine square.

However, before he could reach the stone hand-washing station next to the shrine door, he heard the sound of a broom sweeping the floor from the empty shrine square.
