Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

In a laboratory somewhere in the manor, Ingraham finished a work, stretched, took the ice cola that was already not too cold from the small robot next to him, and looked at the computer screen with ease.

"It's really a lot easier now. With Bai Ze here, the calculation work is much simpler."

I just took two sips of Coke and the calculation result came out.

Just as Ingraham put down the cup and was about to continue working hard, the door of the laboratory was suddenly opened.

"Who?"

Ingraham looked over warily at first, but immediately relaxed when he saw the person coming.

"Edinburgh. What's going on?"

"Well, um, well, I..."

Edinburgh's eyes were wandering, and he looked a little guilty, and even Ingraham could see it clearly at a glance.

Ingraham looked Edinburgh up and down and adjusted his glasses.

"I see, you forgot to bring your keys with you when you went out, and now you can't go back, right?"

"Huh?! How did you know that?!"

Ingraham sighed helplessly and shook his head:

"I guessed it because the commander and Belfast both talked about it. And the commander said that if you really can't find the key, you might come to me to help you open the lock."

"The commander actually anticipated this!?"

Edinburgh's eyes widened in disbelief. Ingraham nodded with amusement and said:

"The Commander knows you better than you think. However, I only confirmed this after being here for a while."

As Ingraham spoke, he stood up and walked to the cabinet, and said casually:

"Please sit down first. This is my work area, so there are no snacks or anything like that. But as for drinks, there are still Cokes."

Ingraham rummaged through a bunch of things, identified them one by one, and took out one of them.

"That's it, wait a moment."

Ingraham took the thing and walked to a machine in the room that looked like a printer. He put the thing in his hand into it and clicked a few times. The machine started to run silently.

"Ingraham, what is that machine?"

"this?"

Ingraham patted the machine in front of him and said with a smile:

"This is the 3D printer I use to make samples. Because it uses special materials, the printed items can basically only be used for about a day before they degrade on their own. It is very environmentally friendly and the materials are cheap."

“There is actually such a thing.”

Edinburgh walked over with surprise, but did not touch the machine rashly.

"It's okay. I made this thing, but Akashi made the materials. We don't need to deal with used models and samples, so we use them quite a lot now."

"I see... Then what are you printing now?"

"Now?"

As he was talking, the machine stopped with a ding. Ingraham opened the printer, took something out and handed it to Edinburgh:

"Here, a printed key. You can just throw it away after use. It will degrade on its own, after all."

Edinburgh took the key dumbfoundedly, then looked at Ingraham blankly.

"Because the commander said you might need it often, and it just so happens that we have left molds for the keys here, so he asked me to use this to print a key for you."

Edinburgh couldn't help blushing.

"No, I don't forget my keys so often! It was just a coincidence!"

Ingraham looked at the time and realized that it was almost time for him to work, so he took Edinburgh to a wall in the room, and the folded table and chairs attached to the wall automatically unfolded.

"You made this too?"

"No, this was done by the Commander."

Ingraham shook his head and said:

"The commander said that this will ensure that we don't have to worry about whether the tables and chairs in the room will be damaged during the experiment. And with Bai Ze here, we don't need to control it specially. But I personally think that this function should be prepared for Akashi. After all, she is the only one who always breaks things during experiments."

Ingraham said as he poured Edinburgh a Coke and then poured himself one.

The ice cubes floated up and down in the cola, and a layer of fine water droplets gradually formed on the surface of the chilled cup.

"Come to think of it, I've basically been in the lab and studio recently. How do you feel about Edinburgh now?"

"How about that, you mean?"

"Well, it's our fleet here. How do you feel about it?"

"I think it's good."

Edinburgh looked at Coke and said:

"Everyone is very kind and cares about me. Although sometimes I feel a little unhappy that I am obviously treated differently from that guy, there is nothing I can do about it, because that guy came earlier. However, one day I will let everyone know that Lord Edinburgh is the lead ship of the Edinburgh class, and I am that guy's sister!"

Ingraham smiled, because the construction of Edinburgh was carried out on the banks of the Thames and there were many onlookers, so Edinburgh received a lot of attention from the royal side.

Although Yang Sikang hardly sees her around during this period, it is actually because Edinburgh needs to show up in front of outsiders from time to time, and she herself needs to understand the fleet's situation and be familiar with the division of labor in the fleet.

After all, the fleet situation on Yang Sikang's side is completely different from that of an ordinary commander's fleet, and there are huge differences in the maid team's work content and other aspects.

But it was also in this process that Edinburgh's attention shifted from the situation of the fleet to Belfast's position and reputation in the fleet.

Belfast's position and authority in the fleet seemed to have irritated Edinburgh to no small extent. However, everyone could see that although Edinburgh always called Belfast "that guy", in fact, when it came to caring about Belfast, she cared much more than anyone else.

"You, what are you laughing at? I am telling the truth. Lord Edinburgh will let that girl know who the older sister is sooner or later! Really, she even said that I would often forget the keys and such. That girl really doesn't act like a younger sister at all!"

Ingraham just looked at her with a gentle smile. Edinburgh was probably a little embarrassed, so he pushed his glasses and stood up hurriedly.

"Thank you for your help, Ingraham. I have something else to do, so I'll go back now."

Edinburgh left in a hurry, and when she went out she happened to bump into someone coming in. After seeing that it was Edinburgh who left, Alan Sumner who had just come in immediately trotted over.

"Edinburgh came to see you. What did you talk about?"

"I don't know. This is a private matter, Alan."

"Well, it's okay to talk about it. Forget it, let's not talk about it! Anyway, we are going to have an ancient castle exploration tonight. Ingraham, do you want to come?"

"No, my experiment is not finished yet."
