"Ara, Commander, you really are..."
After a long while, Musashi finally broke the awkward silence, giving the Commander warmth with her ample bosom.
"Does this... make you feel'safe'?"
"Mm-hmm! Musashi, you're very perceptive."
So this was what safety felt like! Then... Owari could do it too!
So Owari also embraced him, and Jack had a Shipgirl accessory attached to his back.
Seeing this, Shimakaze also didn't want to be outdone, directly hugging Jack's waist, and the four of them played human pyramid.
...
Soon after.
General Training Ground A-1, the largest training ground in the entire Sakura Empire Port.
The purpose of this area is to serve as a training ground for two teams of Shipgirls, so the terrain is open, with spacious footholds on both sea and land.
On the temporary land grandstand.
Jack gradually ascended the high platform, accompanied by a group of star Shipgirls from Sakura Empire.
Destroyer Shimakaze,
Light Cruiser Noshiro,
Heavy Cruiser Unzen,
Battleship Musashi,
Aircraft Carrier Shinano,
Submarine I-19,
Repair Ship Akashi,
Transport Ship Kashino.
They are all top performers in their respective ship classes, and their appearance on stage today is also an encouragement, so that everyone can take them as role models.
"Hello, hello! Testing… Hmm, the microphone is fine."
Jack first tested the sound system, then flashed a charming smile: "Good morning, my dear Shipgirls~"
A simple greeting immediately ignited the crowd below.
"Commander is so handsome!—"
"Please let Commander wear this outfit permanently, please! This is my lifelong request!"
"I've finally waited for this day! Commander, please watch me closely, I'll let you know that even an inconspicuous Shipgirl has things she can do!"
Bang!
Nagato waved her hand, and a ship cannon fired, creating a loud bang.
"Silence!"
Even without speaking into the microphone, Nagato's voice still reached every Shipgirl's ears.
Then everyone immediately quieted down.
Nagato then looked at Jack, indicating that he could continue.
But Jack did not take over the topic and start his speech; he first looked at the speech draft prepared for him by Nagato and Amagi, frowned, and tore it up on the spot.
Then he walked in front of Nagato.
"Hmm? Commander, you…"
Before Nagato could finish speaking, Jack rubbed her head vigorously.
"Don't always be so serious; no wonder the destroyers call you the Sakura Empire Devil."
In Jack's opinion, his port should be more relaxed.
There was no need for so many useless procedures.
And most importantly, half of that speech was praise for himself; although Jack was narcissistic, he really couldn't read it out in front of so many people.
"The Sakura Empire Devil has been defeated!"
As one of the most boisterous destroyers, Yuudachi cheered loudly.
Immediately, a group of youngsters also began to cheer, pushing the atmosphere of the parade ground into a sports day mode.
Jack pressed his hand down.
The scene immediately quieted down, a level of obedience that made Nagato huff with a touch of jealousy.
"Shipgirls of Sakura Empire, I'll be direct. Today's parade is not just a parade; it's also a farewell."
"After the parade, you will move to the Commander's new port, and our main fleet will return to Azure Lane, so… finally, on this homeland, leave your most perfect grace!"
"Now, let the parade begin directly!"
With a command, Jack skipped all the preliminary procedures and directly entered the most important part.
"Kamikaze-class Destroyers, fall in!"
Kamikaze, in her Miko outfit and ship rigging, let out a delicate cry, and behind her walked out the other Kamikaze-class Destroyer sisters.
As a Senior in the destroyer world, she was the first team to kick off the prelude to today's parade ceremony.
