Azur Lane Under the Stars

Page 433

Ren Shuo rubbed his slightly itchy nose, then silently crossed his legs to cover it, maintaining an unchanged expression, but his eyes darted around nimbly.

Eugen's swimsuit... is that normal? Ren Shuo couldn't help but be a little surprised.

She wore a black dress-style swimsuit with a white sun-protective jacket over it. Although it couldn't completely cover her beautiful figure, it didn't look revealing. Her silver-white hair was simply tied into a ponytail, making her look very capable.

"Oh no, that's not Eugen, that's Egil..." Ren Shuo exclaimed.

Honestly, I didn't even recognize myself after changing my clothes...

But where was Princess Eugen? Ren Shuo looked around curiously, but couldn't find her.

However, Belfast was seen wearing a white bikini, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin, and her long silver-white hair was dazzling under the sun.

That hair is so white...

Whether he sensed Ren Shuo's gaze or not, Belfast walked over with a smile.

Ren Shuo quickly averted his gaze, secretly surprised. Was Belfast being far too vigilant? He had only been looking at it for a few seconds!

When Belfast walked in, Ren Shuo asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Belfast?"

Belfast sat down next to Ren Shuo, crossed her long, slender legs, and said with a hint of teasing, "Actually, if you want to see, Master, you don't need to be so secretive. Everyone is happy to be seen by you."

Ren Shuo felt a little guilty: "Nonsense, I'm a gentleman, why would I be spying on you?"

Belfast gave an ambiguous smile, then took out a white bottle: "Although you are under the parasol, the sun is still very strong. Let Belfast apply sunscreen for you?"

Ren Shuo refused outright: "Eh? No way, why would a grown man like me use sunscreen... Besides, let me tell you, if I could get a bronze tan, that would be awesome. Haven't you seen all those hunky guys with bronze skin?"

Belfast retorted, "Excuse my bluntness, but those who get that tanned skin tone do so by strictly controlling their sun exposure time and light intensity, even setting specific times. If you do it this way, you'll just get sunburned..."

"But it's sticky when you put it on, can't you not put it on?" Ren Shuo still refused.

But Belfast was adamant: "No, it wouldn't be good if the master got sunburned."

“Well… alright…” Ren Shuo knew that if Belfast was determined to stick to something, he couldn’t persuade her otherwise.

"What? What? I think I heard you're going to apply sunscreen to the Commander? Let me do it! Let Taihou do it! Sizzle, sizzle..."

Before she arrived, her voice preceded her. Ren Shuo and Belfast turned their heads at the same time and saw what she was wearing... well, that could hardly be called a bikini! It was just two or three straps and three pieces of red fabric!

The approaching run, coming from afar, was incredibly impactful. Ren Shuo swallowed hard, dumbfounded. He couldn't help but worry that the rope might break under the weight and snap.

"Commander!" Da Fengfeng was getting closer and closer, with a very flirtatious smile on her face, and then suddenly leaped out of the water!

"I rely on!"

Ren Shuo panicked a little, not because he was afraid that Da Feng would pounce on him and he wouldn't be able to withstand the impact of her leaping and crashing, after all, he was a tough guy who could take cannonballs head-on, but mainly because he was afraid that the beach chair beneath him wouldn't be able to withstand it.

I spent 9.9 yuan on Pinduoduo and finally managed to get it back!

Belfast, however, remained remarkably calm, snapped his fingers, and then…

"Surprise!"

With its big, sparkling eyes, golden hair, and the typical lean physique of a submarine, and always sporting a cheerful smile, the mackerel makes its dazzling entrance.

Upon seeing the mackerel, Da Fengfeng's smile froze instantly, and she abruptly stopped in mid-air in an unscientific arc before landing on her feet and turning to run in the opposite direction.

"Don't come any closer, ee-ah!!!"

Da Fengfeng's screams echoed across the entire beach.

The mackerel, however, chased after it with an "innocent" smile.

"Big Phoenix, don't run away! Hehehe~"

As the two figures receded into the distance, eventually becoming just two tiny dots, Ren Shuo was somewhat bewildered.

"What are they here for?"

I have a feeling that Da Feng just came to give me a good look and then left?

Belfast acted as if nothing had happened, looking at Ren Shuo and continuing, "Master, let's continue."

"Hmph, you cricket maid... Let me do it, I'll help Commander apply sunscreen!"

Taihou is gone, and Akagi has taken the stage.

“Akagi, and Kaga too.” Ren Shuo’s eyes lit up when he saw Akagi and Kaga in their swimsuits.

Although I admired Akagi's "Paradise Beyond the Flower" outfit from the character art many times before, when I actually saw it, I realized how superficial I had been in my admiration.

Of course, Kaga's "Eternal Summer Sesshoseki" suits her very well.

The main difference between this and reality is simply incomparable. One is two-dimensional, the other is three-dimensional; one cannot move, the other can cause a huge uproar. These are two completely different experiences.

The fox tails behind Akagi and Kaga were swaying back and forth, prompting Ren Shuo to ask, "Don't you guys get hot with those tails?"

It's like bringing your own sweater on a hot day.

Akagi giggled, "Commander, would you like to give it a try?"

Kaga explained, "It's not hot... We just need to drink some cooling water, and the tail can automatically adjust the temperature, so it'll stay cool even in the middle of summer."

Ren Shuo's eyes lit up: "Is it that amazing?"

Kaga nodded: "Yeah, in winter we can drink some petroleum-based beverages, and we can even use our tails as hand warmers."

Ren Shuo stroked his chin, realizing it was time to redefine the saying "Spring in Shinano, Summer in Kaga, Autumn in Akagi, Winter in Akagi"...

According to Kaga, their tails can regulate temperature, which is so convenient.

Belfast was also somewhat surprised: "Is it that amazing? This is the first time I've ever heard of it."

Akagi said proudly, "Of course, it's our Sakura Empire fox's... nature. It's innate, we can regulate our body temperature."

"Body temperature? Isn't it the temperature of the tail?" Ren Shuo was taken aback.

“It’s body temperature, to be precise, the temperature of the whole body or a localized area,” Kaga explained. “The whole body or just the tail is fine… but if it’s a localized area, it’s too troublesome, so everyone is too lazy to control it.”

Ren Shuo's smile gradually became more unrestrained: "Ahem, speaking of which, I have a bold idea."

It can control the temperature locally, and it works on the whole body... Doesn't that mean...?

Akagi immediately understood, giving Ren Shuo a charming look: "Commander, you're quite knowledgeable. Shall we study this carefully later?"

“I think it’s a good idea.” Ren Shuo and Chi Cheng reached a consensus.

Belfast squinted, thinking, "This is a bit indecent in broad daylight."

Ren Shuo felt Belfast's gaze and began to explain in a righteous tone: "Belfast, have you ever had that feeling when you sleep, your hands and feet are cold, but your back is so hot that you're sweating?"

“…I haven’t experienced this myself, but I’ve heard that some people do,” Belfast replied.

“Yes, I think you’ve got the wrong idea. What Akagi and I were researching was that while I’m sleeping, several tails, one for each hand and foot, are heated, and then there’s another one on my back to cool it down,” Ren Shuo explained earnestly.

Belfast feigned sudden realization: "Oh, I see..."

But deep down, oh yes, yes, let's just say it's like this... Heh.

Belfast looked at Akagi: "Well then, Miss Akagi, since you can get a little closer to the master later, could you leave the task of applying sunscreen to me now?"

You got all the meat and soup, so at least let me have a little taste of it, right?

Akagi, however, still smiled and said, "No, one thing at a time. I can't compromise on this."

Akagi declared that she wanted them all.

Belfast took a deep breath. She felt her blood pressure was a little high.

How can those Sakura Empire folks be so greedy?

“Sister, Amagi is calling you…” Kaga tugged at Akagi’s fox tail.

Akagi didn't believe it at all: "Why is my sister calling me at this time? Let me tell you, Kaga, we're in this together. Don't betray us now."

But Kaga just sighed and pointed in a certain direction.

Akagi glanced at it, and then...

Then I saw Amagi sitting there with a gentle smile, wearing a conservative swimsuit and sun protection clothing, waving at me.

However, Akagi, who was familiar with Amagi, gleaned some information from it.

If you don't come, I'll twist it off for you.

So Akagi could only leave with Kaga, feeling extremely unwilling and dejected.

"Alright, Master, now no one can stop us." Belfast smiled with great satisfaction.

However, the next moment: "Commander's sunscreen? Of course, I'll help you apply it."

Belfast's smile was finally breaking; she slowly suppressed it, turning back to stare expressionlessly at the big dog in front of her.

Are you from Sakura Empire here to cause trouble?

Atago, however, was completely unfazed. She covered her mouth and feigned surprise, saying, "Eek, how scary! Belfast, your eyes are so scary!"

Ren Shuo could only pick up the conversation: "Atago, what brings you here?"

Atago twirled around in front of Ren Shuo, then struck a seductive pose: "Commander, do you think my swimsuit looks good? You bought it for me, you know."

The three-piece swimsuit with lace trim and thin gauze was truly the "Midsummer March" that Ren Shuo had once bought for her.

"It looks good, it definitely looks good. I've always had good taste." Ren Shuo secretly raised his hand.

Atago immediately switched to a flirtatious smile with a hint of aggression, and slowly extended her nimble fingers towards Ren Shuo: "Hehehe, let me help you apply sunscreen, Commander~"

Just as Belfast was about to erupt, she heard that Kaohsiung had come to arrest people.

"Evil! Slay! Slay!"

With a flash of light, Atago's head... no, her entire body was knocked unconscious on the beach.

There was also a large, steaming bump on his head.

"Sorry, Commander and Belfast, I failed to keep an eye on her again..."

Kaohsiung said apologetically.

"Oh...it's nothing," Ren Shuo mumbled.

Belfast's smile returned: "Thank you for your help, Miss Kaohsiung."

Kaohsiung, holding Atago's foot with one hand, waved the other casually: "You guys continue..."

Watching the departing figure, Belfast glanced around again to make sure no one would bother her, and then began her work with peace of mind.

"Master, come on, it's time to apply sunscreen."

Although I was happy, I don't know why, but I didn't feel the same way as before.

Belfast gritted her teeth, blaming it all on those guys from Sakura Empire.

Chapter 487 Hitting a Watermelon

If Ren Shuo had previously looked at his girls' swimsuits with excitement, now that he had returned from Akagi and Kaga, he could confidently say something.

general.

I'm tired of the aesthetics; it's just so-so, nothing special.

That said, the sunscreen Belfast got for herself was really good; the sun protection was excellent, and more importantly, it didn't feel sticky on her skin.

Ren Shuo had originally hoped to help his married ships apply sunscreen, but was told that everyone had already done so.

Since everyone needs to apply sunscreen, Ren Shuo might as well just help each girl apply sunscreen all day on the beach.

By then, my hands won't even belong to me anymore.

Faced with the explanations from Yorktown and the other wedding ships, Ren Shuo remained silent.

Honestly, Ren Shuo felt he could handle this kind of exhaustion...

But unfortunately, we can't just send them back to take a shower and start all over again, can we?

So, Ren Shuo could only lie on the chair that he and Xi Xi had cut back and sigh deeply.

"Commander, if you keep sighing like that, you'll turn into an old man."

Mikasa walked up to Ren Shuo's side. Ren Shuo pushed up his sunglasses and looked at Mikasa, who was still wearing the same old old-fashioned floral shirt, beach shorts, and banana leaf fan-style outfit.

Ren Shuo felt something was off: "Why didn't you change into your swimsuit?"

Mikasa laughed heartily: "That's something young people do, I won't get involved."
