Chapter 130 Walking in the Autumn Rain
Lin Lan originally thought he would wake up earlier than Ron.
But it turns out that you should never underestimate any professional chef’s biological clock.
When he woke up, the pink-haired elder sister Ron who was sleeping with him in his arms had disappeared.
"This Ron is really hard-working and a role model."
Lin Lan sat up from the bed. He knew where he would see Ron at this time without even thinking about it.
It must be the canteen in Minato City.
Ron, the extremely gentle eldest sister, will always prepare meals for other companions in the cafeteria, unless she is asked to go into battle.
When facing enemies, Ron will transform into the most terrifying battlefield ghost and tear apart all enemies he can see.
After getting dressed and washing up, Lin Lan came to the window, opened the curtains, and found that the sky outside was covered with dark clouds and it was actually raining.
However, Lin Lan soon felt relieved. After all, Olan is a rainy season after autumn, so it is abnormal that it has not rained during this period.
Mainly because every time he faced the sirens, it was always under strong winds and billowing dark clouds.
Now even ordinary rain has left him with battlefield sequelae.
"I don't know if it rained heavily when Ron left. It would be bad if he got caught in the rain."
Youdao is like an autumn rain and a cold.
Lin Lan muttered that she was worried about Ron, then opened the door and walked out of the room.
When he went downstairs and came to his office door, he found that his office door had been opened for ventilation.
A tall and tall beauty with long black ponytails wearing a black and gold dress was sitting on the sofa in his office.
This beautiful woman with fair skin and burgundy eyes holds a steaming teapot that has just been heated in her hand, and she is elegantly brewing mint tea in a porcelain cup placed on the coffee table.
Such an elegant, tall black-haired beauty, Lin Lan recognized her at a glance.
Isn’t this Tokisaki Kurumi...
Phew, isn't this the time management guru who helped him get rid of his procrastination habit a few days ago, Peter Strasser.
"Commander, I'm very pleased that you woke up earlier than I expected."
Seeing Lin Lan entering the room, Peter's delicate oval face looked at him with a sweet smile.
"You came here very early. It's obviously not time to go to work yet... Well, well, actually, I don't know exactly what time it is in Minato City to work."
Lin Lan laughed and complained while walking to the chair behind his desk and sitting down.
At this time, he noticed an extra umbrella in the room that was still stained with a lot of rain.
"I will tell Akashi to set up an umbrella bucket in your office."
After Peter brewed two cups of steaming mint tea, he brought one of them to Lin Lan and said with a calm smile:
"Before I came back, I specifically asked Akashi to pay attention to the weather forecast here in Minato City. It should rain in the past few days."
Picking up the mint tea handed over by Peter and blowing the mint-scented hot air, Lin Lan couldn't help but smile:
"This Oran doesn't have satellites, so his weather forecast is completely deceptive, so don't take it too seriously."
"Satellite? What is that?"
Peter, who sat back on the sofa, tilted his head and looked at Lin Lan with confusion on his face.
"Well, that's right, how should I put it..."
Lin Lan then remembered that the ship girls in his game didn't know what satellites were.
So he spent a lot of time explaining to Peter what this high-tech product that could break through the atmosphere and be extremely convenient in space looked like.
Although he is not a professional scientist, he has watched so many short videos and can easily explain the principles roughly.
"I see, there are machines that can fly higher than carrier-based aircraft and airships."
With a smile on his face, Peter, who listened carefully to Lin Lan's explanation, sighed, as if it was unimaginable that there would be an endless universe higher up in the sky.
But Peter soon put his mind back and raised his head to look at the clock hanging on the wall.
"Commander, it's time for breakfast. I went to bring you breakfast and a new umbrella. I didn't expect that Akashi didn't prepare an umbrella for you. It was my dereliction of duty as a secretary ship."
Lin Lan looked at the hour hand on the clock pointing to eight o'clock, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart that Peter was really a ship girl who paid great attention to the concept of time.
But he just wanted to go out for some air, so he said to Peter who had already stood up:
"Why don't we go to the cafeteria together? There's no point in staying here alone."
Seeing that Lin Lan had discovered that there was only one umbrella in the room, Peter immediately understood what Lin Lan meant.
A faint blush rose on her elegant and delicate face.
"That's fine. Commander, I'm going to take up your time greedily, hehehe."
The two came to the first floor, and the misty autumn rain outside seemed to cover the world with a layer of white gauze.
Peter originally wanted to hold up the umbrella, but Lin Lan stopped her with a smile and took the umbrella from her hand.
"Leave it to me to hold the umbrella."
"Hehehe, Commander, then I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."
With a smile on his lips, Peter watched Lin Lan holding up an umbrella and walking into the rain. He gracefully bent down and extended his hand to her in a gesture of invitation.
So, Peter also smiled and held Lin Lan's hand, and the two of them walked side by side in the misty autumn rain under an umbrella.
As a tall shipgirl, Peter was half a head taller than Lin Lan after putting on high heels.
Lin Lan looked at the elegant black-haired beauty beside him. He had only seen the romantic atmosphere of walking in the rain in TV dramas.
The green belts around the port area have been planted with trees and lawns.
The raindrops hit the road and umbrellas, making dense rustling sounds.
The air in the port area in the early morning was mixed with the fragrance of soil soaked in rain. Because of the rain, the port area was quiet except for the sound of rain and waves.
Feeling the warmth from Peter's soft little hands, even if the temperature around him had dropped to the point where he could exhale mist, Lin Lan felt extremely warm in his heart.
"Commander, why didn't I realize that you actually have such a gentlemanly side before, hehe."
As the two walked on the road, Peter beside him asked with a chuckle.
"Then what kind of person was I before in your eyes?"
Lin Lan couldn't help but ask back curiously, wanting to know what kind of person he was before in the hearts of his ship girls.
"Likes to harass the secretary ship, gives people random nicknames, disappears from time to time, forces companions to attack continuously, and suddenly gets angry for no apparent reason."
Peter put his index finger on his face, tilted his head and thought seriously for a moment, then gave the answer.
"No, I admit the first four, what does it mean to be angry for no apparent reason?"
Lin Lan was stunned when he heard the last point Peter summarized.
In his impression, he was not someone who would get angry easily.
"You always start to wail in pain after the port area's oil, supplies or mind cubes are exhausted."
Peter's mouth curled up a curve, recalling like a treasure:
"And companions have repeated attacks many times, and they are obviously very tired, but you still say some inexplicable words with anger on your face, such as... you didn't get anything?"
Hearing this, Lin Lan had already realized with guilt what Peter was referring to.
When he was building a large ship within a limited time, he had consumed all the supplies or mind cubes and still hadn't built a ship. He, who had a full picture book obsessive-compulsive disorder, would explode in pain.
The same is true for salvaging.
If the salvage ship still didn't come out on the same map for several consecutive days, and there was still no sign of the salvage ship until the oil ran out, he would directly put on a painful mask.
"I will reflect deeply and won't do this again."
Facing Peter's past, although Lin Lan was embarrassed, he couldn't find a reason to refute.
After all, these were all facts, and he could only admit his mistakes helplessly.
"Hehe, I'm not blaming you, why should I apologize?"
Peter had a smile on his face, but his body was closer to Lin Lan.
"After all, you are our commander. We have long been accustomed to these things of yours, and there is no need to deliberately change them."
Hearing Peter's doting voice, Lin Lan was suddenly very moved.
Is this the charm of the ship girl...
"Of course, your bad habit of wasting time must be corrected. I will urge you to get rid of this bad habit, hehe."
Hearing Peter's chuckle, Lin Lan's newly rising emotion was immediately covered by fear.
Time management master, please spare me!
As the two of them chatted back and forth, before they knew it, the port cafeteria covered by the rain appeared in their sight.
