Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

Chapter 842: Ship Mother Observation Operation

Villa area, morning.

As usual, Dafeng came to the backyard of the villa with her toolbox and walked with ease. The flowers planted here before had already bloomed, and the small pavilion built in the yard was beautifully maintained.

When Dafeng arrived here, Zhenhai and Yixian were already here. Because Dafeng did not live in the same villa with them, it took her a few more minutes to get here.

"Good morning, both of you."

After the three of them greeted each other, Dafeng sat down briskly and took out her tools.

"Speaking of which, Dafeng, you are learning embroidery from Yixian. Do you want to make something for the commander?"

Zhenhai asked with some curiosity. Although she had always known that Dafeng was learning various embroidery, painting and other things from Yixian, she did not watch most of the time, so she did not know much about it.

"Yes." Tai Feng answered directly: "The commander seems to be interested in these things, so I plan to make some small things for the commander, such as handkerchiefs or something."

Dafeng looked very happy when she said this. Zhenhai was a little surprised, but still nodded.

Although she is a ship girl of the Sakura Empire, except for her clothes, it is difficult to associate Taiho with the Sakura Empire camp in other aspects.

Basically, whenever she chats with Taiho, she will turn the topic to the commander within three sentences, and Taiho is always in a good mood whenever this happens.

"I don't know what you want to do, Dafeng. If you need any help, you can come to me."

Zhenhai said this with a smile, but he didn't expect Dafeng to immediately stop threading the needle and look over.

"Actually, I also want to find an opportunity to talk to Miss Zhenhai. I wonder if you can explain to me the intention of the commander's recent arrangements? Although I have guessed some of it, I always feel that there are many things I haven't thought of."

Zhenhai was slightly surprised, but still nodded with a smile:

"No problem. Then, can I let you know after I confirm the time?"

"Okay, thank you for your guidance, Zhenhai~"

Dafeng was learning embroidery from Yixian, and Zhenhai was relatively free today, so he watched with interest.

Dafeng studied very seriously and learned unexpectedly very quickly.

Although there are many flaws, Dafeng is very patient when learning and is able to calm down and try repeatedly.

This surprised Zhenhai a little. After all, Donghuang's traditional embroidery, especially this kind of handmade embroidery, requires very high skills and planning, and is time-consuming and laborious.

If it were Tosa, there would be no way she would learn these things. Whether she personally wants to learn is one thing, but Tosa's personality is not suitable for her.

Seeing Dafeng studying hard, Zhenhai thought for a while, went out for a while, and then brought back some snacks.

Ying Ruizhaohe likes to stay with the maids recently, while Pinghai and Ninghai hang out more frequently with Donghuang.

Although they usually don't take the initiative to show off, these ship girls from Donghuang are actually not idle at all.

In addition to talking with Yorktown and others, Zhenhai usually spends more time with Ding'an and Huajia. The two of them have been assigned to work on investment-related matters.

Zhenhai was thinking while observing Taiho. This ship girl with a special personality was always very friendly when interacting with her companions and was always willing to help anyone.

Or to be more precise, as long as it doesn't involve the commander, Taiho always seems to be at ease.

Accordingly, as long as it involves the commander...

Zhenhai recalled what Yixian had mentioned in a casual conversation some time ago. In order to make a perfect cake for the commander, Dafeng made more than twenty pieces of cake for everyone to eat.

And according to others, Dafeng's students are not just one or two people.

Learning various techniques and skills, it seems that the ultimate goal is to do something for the commander. This kind of persistence is quite rare even among ship girls.

For several hours, Dafeng seemed to have endless patience. Only after she was able to basically replicate the pattern she had just learned did she put away her tools with some regret.

"I still have a long way to go. I guess I'll have to ask you for more advice."

"No, you can come to me anytime you want."

Yixian replied with a smile, and then the maid came just in time to invite them to lunch.

Zhenhai wanted to think carefully about when to communicate directly with Dafeng, but he didn't expect that after resting for half an hour after dinner, Dafeng came directly to him.

She had no reason to refuse, so she went with the flow and started chatting with Dafeng, expressing her own opinions.

But Dafeng didn't just listen. Zhenhai himself also gained something during the conversation.

After Dafeng left, Zhenhai became more interested in her.

"Da Feng doesn't seem to be proficient in these things, but she learns very quickly, and she tries hard to remember what is said. In this case, maybe we can observe her more."

Thinking that he would probably have a relatively leisurely time in the next few days, and that before the commander's research came out with results, there would probably only be discussions and reviews of previous battles, Zhenhai became more active.

"Why not take advantage of these few days to see what Dafeng usually does, hehe~"

However, peeping would be too disrespectful to his companions, so after thinking it over, Zhenhai decided to discuss it directly with Dafeng.

"Huh? Want to see what I usually do?"

Dafeng was a little surprised, but still nodded and agreed happily.

"Of course no problem, but what interesting things do I usually do?"

"It doesn't matter. I just want to understand. There is a saying in Donghuang that goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle." You have to understand your enemy, but before that, you should also understand your companions."

While they were discussing, a few little heads in the corner were stacked together, looking at this side excitedly.

"Lafite, did you hear that? Miss Zhenhai needs to observe and understand Dafeng's daily life!"

"Yeah, Rafi, I heard you."

"What Zhenhai said makes sense. We should also get to know our companions better. Moreover, our fleet now has dozens of companions from different camps. In addition to daily training and life, we should also know some more detailed things." Alan Sumner said softly.

Javelin nodded repeatedly, completely unaware that the topic she brought up had just been cleverly led in a strange direction by Alan. Urged by curiosity, she now couldn't wait to take action.

"Well then, let's observe everyone too!"

Thus, the observation operation of the destroyers and Zhenhai began.
