Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

Chapter 1257 Cleveland's Confused Heart

As we all know, the same words have different effects when spoken by different people.

The difference may be small or large. The specific result depends on many factors, but the biggest factor lies in the speaker's consistent character.

There is also a saying that goes, when something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.

Based on his understanding of Yang Sikang, the first time Cleveland heard his exaggerated tone, he remembered what happened before this guy became the commander, and a bad premonition suddenly came to his mind.

But even though she immediately put down Eldridge and tried to stop him, the sound of the side door being pushed open still made her feel something was wrong.

Sure enough, almost at the same second, several familiar and excited voices came into Cleveland's ears in unison.

"As expected of the big sister, it was easy for her to get the commander's praise!"

Because there were too many noises, Cleveland turned around in surprise, and then he just stood there in a daze.

There was a large group of people standing inside and outside the door. Columbia, Montpelier, and Denver were no exception. Unexpectedly, even Birmingham was there, and behind them there were Independence, San Jacinto, and Princeton.

Among her sisters of the same rank in Yang Sikang’s fleet and several Independence-class members who have a close relationship with the Cleveland-class, only Bataan is not present now!

Looking at the documents and boxes in their hands, it was obvious that Yang Sikang knew in advance that they would come at around this time!

Indeed, Cleveland has always regarded herself as a sea knight, and generally speaking, she would accept compliments with pleasure and regard it as an honor.

But as mentioned above, the same words spoken by different people will have different effects.

Especially Yang Sikang's deliberate tone and the way he pronounced it, like a bard singing a poem, made it seem as if she had just done something extraordinary!

Cleveland didn't feel anything when Yang Sikang did this for the first time, and she was very happy at that time. But when Yang Sikang did this for the third time, she began to feel ashamed inevitably.

"You guys, you definitely did this on purpose, right?"

Cleveland gritted his teeth and looked at Yang Sikang and accused him, but Yang Sikang grinned:

"What are you talking about? I don't understand you, great sea knight, Miss Cleveland~"

Cleveland took a deep breath, his entire face quickly turned red, then he rushed out of the room and ran out at an astonishing speed.

"Woo wow! Big sister runs so fast!"

Columbia, Montpelier and Denver quickly put the documents and boxes in their hands in place, and then ran out quickly following Cleveland.

Although the three of them had no idea why Cleveland ran so fast, the eldest sister must have her reasons for being so anxious. Besides, to be praised by the commander as a great sea knight, it must be no trivial matter!

At times like this, the sea knights should attack together!

Only Birmingham watched several sisters of the same grade run away, and then silently moved the boxes in their hands into the room with the others, took out the things inside and put them in order.

"Aren't you going to Birmingham?"

Princeton looked at Birmingham, and Birmingham shook his head:

"Anyway, it must be the commander playing a trick on Big Sister again. Big Sister was still sleeping a few hours ago, so she doesn't have time to do anything big."

Princeton couldn't help but smile, then looked at Yang Sikang, but Yang Sikang spread his hands as if nothing had happened:

"I didn't say it was a big deal. She ran away on her own."

Things were taken out one by one, and several Independence-class light aircraft stood by, while the absent Batan soon came over with Akashi.

"Commander, here is the file you requested."

Badan put the documents he brought from the development zone on Yang Sikang's desk. Yang Sikang glanced at them and nodded.

On the other side, Cleveland ran out from here and let out a long sigh of relief helplessly.

"That guy always does this kind of thing, really..."

Obviously, she has always been proud of the title of Sea Knight, but that guy always likes to make fun of it and always makes her look bad in front of her sisters. No matter how she thinks about it, it seems like he did it on purpose.

But she couldn't say she was disgusted by it, it was just that the guy's performance was too exaggerated and made her feel embarrassed.

"But he actually gave this to me directly. This guy is really generous."

Looking at the memory in his hand, Cleveland felt helpless. That guy sometimes acted very unkind, but sometimes he did everything very well. He obviously had the ability to handle all things, but he often handled things in the simplest and crudest way to save trouble, which made his reputation sometimes good and sometimes bad.

Cleveland remembered that he had not yet gone to get the finished product that the guy mentioned, but then he thought that his sisters were all there now, and it seemed inappropriate to go back now since he had just run out.

"Big Sister!!"

Cleveland turned around suddenly and was surprised to find that Columbia and the other three had followed him out.

"Why did you follow me out?"

Cleveland asked, Columbia shook his head, and Montpellier replied:

"Big sister, you must have something important to tell me since you rushed out here. Why don't you take us with you?"

Denver next to him nodded repeatedly, and Cleveland suddenly became a little flustered.

Very important things? I don’t have any very important things to do!

But, should I just tell my sisters that I ran away because I felt embarrassed?

What a joke!

Just when Cleveland was struggling, Belfast suddenly came.

"Miss Cleveland, the commander said that those finished anchors are very important, and it's not safe for you to get them alone. Since Miss Montpelier and Miss Denver are with you, why don't you let them accompany you to return those anchors to the home port? What do you think?"

Cleveland was stunned, while Montpellier's eyes lit up and he said as if it was just what he expected:

"I see! Getting the anchor directly from the commander is indeed a very important matter! Big sister, let us go with you to deliver it!"

"Eh? Ah, um, okay!"

Cleveland took the opportunity and readily agreed.

Then, a slightly embarrassed Cleveland took her sisters to the development dock that she had completely forgotten about, ready to take away the so-called anchor.

When he arrived at the development dock and successfully obtained those anchors that looked completely inconspicuous but could serve as the coordinates for Yang Sikang's fleet jump, Cleveland couldn't help but sigh that Yang Sikang's technology was really advanced.

Such an incredible thing, but the actual product is only this small in size.

While leaving, Cleveland seemed to have caught a glimpse of a strange figure.

It was a woman with strange short light pink hair and wearing a strange black uniform, but when Cleveland looked over again, there was no one there.

Just in case, Cleveland went over there and confirmed that there was no one there.

"Hmm? Did I see it wrong?"

"Big sister, we have got all the things, we can leave now~"

Montpelier shouted over here, Cleveland turned around and waved in response, then looked again, turned around and ran towards Montpelier.

As soon as she left, Ron appeared from where she was just now.

"That's Cleveland. What a sharp man."

"Ron, time to go."

Mainz's voice came from behind, Ron turned around and followed Mainz away.
