Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 689 Prepare in advance for life in the royal camp

There was a white carpet spread on the ground in front of Hiei.

A complete set of white royal-style tables, chairs and tea sets were placed on the carpet. On the plates on the table were various cakes and Sakura-style snacks.

But what caught Lin Lan's attention the most was the white steaming black tea in those teacups.

Needless to say, while waiting for his return, these two Kongou-class battleship ladies had lunch directly in the main hall of the shrine.

"Hey, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

After being released by Kongo, Lin Lan also smiled and expressed her apology to Kongo and Hiei.

At this time, in addition to Kongo and Hiei at the shrine, the Yamashiro and Haruyuki he had seen in the morning, as well as the two general-purpose Bree Sisters, were no longer there.

There are only two battleship girls in this huge shrine.

It can be seen that they must have been arranged by Nagato or Mikasa to come here specifically to wait for his return.

Sure enough, after hearing his apologetic words, King Kong held his hand in an elegant and natural way, smiled and said to him:

"Well, I was just joking when I said you'd be waiting a long time. It's better to say that Hiei and I just took this opportunity to spend a leisurely morning here."

After saying that, he was led by King Kong and walked to Hiei and the royal-style table set.

Hiei also smiled and took out a chair from the ship's storage space, placed it at the table, and invited Lin Lan:

"Commander, you haven't had lunch yet. How about having lunch with us here?"

"It's true that I haven't had lunch yet, so I'm sorry to bother you."

Regarding the information he obtained from Kamire Sakura and his subsequent plans, he was not particularly anxious to inform Nagato and the others.

What's more, it was lunch break at this time, and Nagato, Amagi and the others were probably still eating.

So Lin Lan gave Bi Rui a grateful smile, accepted the invitation, and sat at the royal-style white table with the two Sakura battleship girls.

Although Hiei was a gentle lady with beautiful black hair, Lin Lan still felt from her a natural elegance and nobility that was not inferior to King Kong.

It's no wonder, whether it's Kongo or Hiei, they are famous battleships in the Chongsakura camp in the history of Blue Star.

The eldest sister Kongo, as the last batch of large battleships ordered from abroad by the Chongsakura camp, served as the flagship of the seventh-generation combined fleet.

Hiei has also served as a ship-watching officer for many times, and his popularity is even as high as that of Nagato, the flagship idol of the United Fleet.

After taking the cutlery and cutlery that Hiei handed him, Kongo also held the teapot and poured him a cup of fragrant black tea.

"Commander, you know the style of our four King Kong-level sisters, so think of it as an early experience of the royal camp's tea party, haha~"

After King Kong sat back on the chair, she elegantly picked up the unfinished tea cup in front of her and looked at Lin Lan with a smile.

"Then I'm not welcome. King Kong, you are right. I really need to learn royal etiquette from you before returning to the port area."

Regarding King Kong's joke, Lin Lan cut a piece of cake, put it in his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it, and nodded thoughtfully.

He was very sure that when he returned to the port area, he would definitely be invited to a tea party by the royal ship girls headed by Silly Bai.

Instead of having to make up for etiquette lessons by Belfastra, the head maid, who was sharpening his skills before the battle, it would be better to ask King Kong for advice in advance during the heavy cherry blossoms.

What's more, due to various previous coincidences, he did not pay his respects to Queen Elizabeth.

Based on his understanding of Queen Elizabeth, after the arrogant queen learned that he had communicated with Ying Yingdu, she would definitely want to lock him in the royal castle in the port area and prohibit him from leaving for 24 hours.

Rather than learning the lifestyle of the royal camp at that point, he still had to make various preparations in advance.

"Oh? Commander, are you actually interested in royal etiquette? Don't worry, in the entire Chongying camp, except for me, King Kong, you will never find another better person to learn from."

As soon as King Kong heard what he said, he immediately agreed enthusiastically, with a tone as proud as a young lady.

But after hearing King Kong's words, Hiei gracefully covered his mouth and chuckled.

This golden-eyed lady with red rope bells and a red flower headdress tied to the white corners on both sides of her forehead reminded her sister in a low voice:
"Sister Kongo, have you forgotten? Senior Mikasa, like us, returned from studying in the royal camp." Hiei didn't mention it, but Lin Lan then remembered that senior Mikasa was also born in the royal camp.

The so-called studying abroad is actually what Mikasa and Kongo think about their experience after becoming ship girls.

Even Lin Lan still remembered that Mikasa had a change of clothes, which was the youthful school uniform she wore when she was studying abroad in the royal camp.

When putting on that change of clothes, Mikasa would also rarely joke with him:

"At that time, many people would travel across the ocean to study in the Royal Family. Shall we go too? Although the Royal Family's dormitory is only a few minutes away, haha."

However, after hearing his sister's friendly reminder, King Kong's expression suddenly changed.

After the blond and blue-eyed battleship girl put the teacup back on the table, she set her sights on Lin Lan, with a hint of worry in her tone:

"Commander, you just said that you wanted to ask 'me' for royal etiquette. You won't go back on your word, right?"

It can be seen that even Kongo, who has always been confident, is a little unsure of the pressure brought by senior Mikasa, whom everyone in Chongqing admires.

However, regarding King Kong's worries, Lin Lan smiled and gave her reassurance:

"Don't worry. If you say it out loud, it will throw water away. How can I regret it?"

"Besides, Mikasa has to deal with a lot of matters in the camp on weekdays. Apart from you, there really is no better royal etiquette teacher in Chongsakura."

After receiving Lin Lan's firm reply, King Kong's face showed a bright smile again.

"Then since the commander said so, let's start from now on."

"The first thing is about dining etiquette for meals and tea parties..."

I have to admit that once King Kong enters a serious state, he is really a strict and good teacher.

Lin Lan also learned a lot of new knowledge at this lunch under the guidance of the two battleship girls Kongo and Hiei.

Of course, real royal etiquette is not as easy as what he saw in the Blue Star short video, but a very complicated knowledge.

It's just that in just over an hour, it's impossible for him to fully master it.

Not to mention that in addition to dining etiquette, royal etiquette also encompasses all aspects of daily life.

In King Kong's terms, even these rituals include speech patterns and seemingly casual movements.

However, Lin Lan was not a member of the royal family after all, so King Kong suggested that he did not need to learn many particularly harsh etiquettes.

After finishing the food on the table and tasting the royal black tea brought by Kongo and Hiei from the port area, Lin Lan packed up the tables and chairs with them and left the shrine from the main hall.

The shrine and the surrounding streets were still very deserted and quiet in the afternoon. When Lin Lan followed Kongo and Hiei to the five-story pagoda, he said to Hiei:

"Hiei, please contact Fuso and ask her to bring a lunch box of food into the Godwood Barrier after she has rested."

"Commander, does the Great Sage want to eat food?"

After hearing his arrangement, Hiei looked at him in surprise and asked.

In her and King Kong's impression, only Unzen should be the one who needs to eat within the Yushenmu barrier.

Unzen can often go several days without eating a meal, and is said to be able to absorb energy from heaven and earth like a god.

Even after they came to Snow Sakura Island from Minato City, they almost never saw Unzen again.

Hearing Hiei's curious words, Lin Lan also understood that Kongo and Hiei didn't seem to know that the Demon King had awakened.

Probably, before Unzen used the butterfly to convey the message, they had been arranged by Nagato to come to the shrine to pick him up.

So Lin Lan shrugged and explained to Bi Rui with a smile:
"It's not that Yun Xian wants to eat...but still, let Fuso prepare more food for Yun Xian."

"Didn't Nagato and I finish solving the problem of the Demon King in the Goshenmu Barrier yesterday? The Demon King woke up today."
