Shokaku and Zuikaku, who were joining in the fun, kept staring at Nagato, obviously doubting whether they had made a mistake.
Before Spee, who was holding the little shark, could say anything, he was hugged by Germany. The little shark was thrown aside by his sister because he was too nervous.
As for Veneto, who was alone, he looked a little strange when he saw several royal ship girls, especially Guanghui, who had a gentle smile. Although he was unharmed in the opponent's attack, his sister was indeed beaten up.
Everyone in the warehouse was welcoming the new members, except Su Xin, who was staring at the cabin that had long been depressurized, waiting for the powerful figure in her impression to appear.
As she wished, the iron-blooded battleship in black and red lowered its head slightly, and in the sudden quiet atmosphere, it poked its scarlet horns out of the cabin door first, then walked outside and stood up straight.
The terrifying height of nearly two meters in high heels shocked everyone, but she adapted well. After slowly looking around, she looked at the "kid" closest to her.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, my child. What do you want me to give you as a gift for our first meeting, gold or honor?"
The good girl Su Xin couldn't even look at the other person's chest. She could only tilt her head back to look at her. Her neck was almost sore, but she still had to act good.
"Great Emperor... uh, sister, my name is Su Xin, and I'm the commander of the port area. Welcome to join us."
The oppressive warship was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and bent over to pick up the little commander, holding him by the armpits like a child and holding him flat in front of her eyes, and answered gently but without making people feel brisk:
"Just call me by my name, my child. I think... I will like you very much."

ps: As for the height, I found a post on the forum from a big guy who analyzed the height based on the portraits (with proportional conversion, more reliable than my blind guess). The Emperor's net height is 194cm (excluding horns), 203cm with shoes, and New Jersey's net height is 188cm.
I am more worried that people may not be able to accept such a high height. If possible, I will go back and change the height of New Jersey. If not, I will write it by subtracting 10cm.
Chapter 714 Treatment of a Daughter

"...Why aren't you talking? Logically, you should be welcoming new sisters, right?"
Nagashima glanced at the two-meter-tall black-haired ship girl on the other side. Although she had a smile on her face, her dark golden eyes made people feel worried no matter how they looked at them.
"Didn't you see that Eugen didn't even dare to drink beer? The two robot dogs were also cowering. Isn't the amount of information contained in this too much!?"
Changdao was helpless about Su Xin's slowness. She had not intended to talk to him at first, but after being glanced at by the literal "adult", she opened her mouth subconsciously.
"Ahahaha... um, well... this is still a little unfamiliar... I'll get better in the future..."
"Really?" Su Xin looked at Changdao in surprise, "But I remember when Sister Ibuki and the others first came, you were also very excited -
“Ahhhhh, um, that, I mean, uh… mainly because I haven’t seen anyone with such a tall stature… um, KanColle-sister…”
In fact, Commander Su was also surprised just now. After all, the height is not something that can be seen from the portrait. But when I think of Frederick the Great, it seems... quite reasonable?
Frederick the Great seemed to have a very good personality. He continued in a gentle voice: "Are you not used to it? Next time, I will consider changing my shoes."
“No, no, no, that’s okay. I, I’ll get used to it. Don’t worry about me. Just keep it the same. Hahaha…”
Nagashima swallowed and glanced at Guanghui, who also represented a gentle personality, and found that the difference between the two was still very obvious.
She is like an older sister who is much older than me. She is gentle but not distant. Being together with her may feel dull and boring sometimes, but the relaxation of the body and mind and the atmosphere are real.
But the new Frederick is different. Compared to her sister, she seems more like a mother with a permanent smile.
It's true that she treats you very well, but with that sense of oppression, every word she says makes you feel that she has ulterior motives, and you can't relax at all. You have to stay alert when you stay next to her, and you will probably get tired after a while.
In fact, the other ship girls who were unfamiliar with Frederick the Great also had this feeling. Apart from his height, eye color and other appearances, the other party did not show much.
Their strength has not been confirmed yet, but judging from Eugen's two ships that have transformed from huskies into puppies, their destructive power is probably beyond their imagination.
Su Xin was also curious about this. She really wanted to see Frederick's giant ship equipment, but everyone seemed very nervous at the moment, so she didn't ask and prepared to take a few people to the command room to register first.
"Can we record your information first and then help you choose your dorm?"
"Of course, my child." Frederick touched the little commander's head smoothly.
Germany shrank her neck, held Spee's hand and nodded gently, Veneto also responded. She actually felt fine, mainly because she was a bit thick-skinned.
When Nagato saw Amagi, he felt like he had seen his backbone. Now he was following Amagi and had no objection to this arrangement.
Jean Bart stretched himself and urged directly, "Hurry up, wasting time on boring work is not my style."
Frederick tilted his head to glance at her, and Jean Bart looked back without any fear. The atmosphere seemed a little tense, but fortunately Su Xin's voice rang out in time.
"Well...we actually recently built a new dorm, so if that's okay, we can all take this opportunity to start moving in."
These words really attracted everyone's attention and livened up the atmosphere again.
"Ah? Is it ready to move in? I've been craving that huge LCD screen on the second floor for a long time. I want to use it to play games!"
"Are we moving? Great, then our Sakura Empire destroyers can go to school together."
"Well, the venue of the Royal Tea Party can be changed as well."
Frederick also bowed his head and asked: "My child, are the residences divided by camp?"
“Yes, the architectural styles of each camp are different. If you don’t like them, you can suggest some modifications and I’ll ask Ming Miao to do the renovation.
There is nothing to be dissatisfied with. It is more like what Frederick wants. After all, she naturally prefers to live with the children of Iron Blood compared to the ship girls of other factions.
But Germany was a little distressed. It would be good to live with her sister, but when Frederick came, she didn't dare to speak casually. She always felt that life would become very boring after living together.
Veneto was also feeling miserable. She seemed to be the only one from Sardinia in this port area. Could it be that she lived alone?
"Ah, currently only dormitories for the Royal, White Eagle, Eastern Glory, Iron Blood, and Sakura Empire camps have been built. For the other sisters... you can stay in your original dormitories or come to Eastern Glory. The design drawings will be shown to you as soon as possible."
"Okay, there's not even a dormitory, but the design is up to you..." Veneto cheered up, feeling full of fighting spirit for the first thing that required a leader to make a decision.
The number of ship girls from Liberty Iris and Vichy Church is actually enough. The two camps have the same origin and little difference in style, so it is quite suitable for them to live together. Dunkirk should be able to serve as a regulator.
The only missing camp now is the Northern Union. I don’t know when Tashkent will be able to find the lost Volga. The next time they meet, Su Xin will definitely try to invite them to join the port.
And judging from their personalities, the drunkards of the Northern League should get along better with the Iron Blood Society. At worst, they can just alternate between beer and vodka, or mix them together if that doesn't work.
In today's world where people no longer celebrate festivals, what everyone pursues is a stable life. As for the occasional minor frictions, they are just a seasoning.
"Okay, the registration is now complete, but... Sister Frederick... uh, Sister Emperor..."
Frederick the Great smiled and said, "Just call me by my first name, Frederick, or whatever nickname you want."
In fact, Su Xin really wanted to call her "Emperor Mommy", mainly because in her previous life, the emperor was very popular, and his surrounding products became a hit.
She has also made cosplay costumes of the emperor. Customers who come to buy basically call her that and remind her to put height-increasing pads in her boots. As time goes by, this title has become popular.
But it's okay to call Helena "Mom" as a joke, but if you really call Frederick that, the other party will definitely take it seriously, and it will be really difficult to handle the show effect at that time.
After thinking it over, Su Xin still called out the name obediently, "Then... Sister Frederick, you may have to stay for a while. Uh, it's like this, I may have to measure your physical data so that I can report it to the authorities."
"Nagato, Deutschland, Sister Veneto, Sister Jean Bart, if you are willing, please wait outside for a while. I will show you around the port area when I come out. If you don't want to wait, you can go and have a look with everyone first."
"Of course, my child, what do you need my cooperation for?" Frederick the Great nodded and walked to the side and stood still.
After watching Eugen and the other ship girls leave with their doubts dispelled, Commander Su breathed a sigh of relief, "It's just to measure height and weight, um... I need to cooperate with Sister Belfa."
Frederick accepted it well, smiled at Befa, and let the other party take out the tape measure, scale and other things and busy himself beside him.
"Could you please take off your shoes?"
"I understand."
Beffa moved a small stool and stood on it, letting Frederick press the measuring tape with his toes, and then he pulled it straight up, "...net height 194cm."
Su Xin: ...?
"weight-
"Well, there's no need to say this, right?"
Befa paused, wrote silently in the notebook, and then began to measure the chest circumference. After everything was measured, the recorded data stunned the little commander.
Frederick was very observant and asked her, "What's wrong? Is the weight higher than you expected? Or are the other measurements not satisfactory?"
Su Xin hurriedly shook her head to indicate no, and obediently filled in the numbers on the information form, then scanned and uploaded it, and then sealed it for archiving.
"Well, okay, shall we go out and take a look now?"
"haha okay."
Frederick the Great, wearing high-heeled boots, lowered his head slightly to preserve the integrity of the two-meter-high door frame. Amid the noisy laughter, something hit him.
Su Xin reacted. With her dynamic vision, she saw clearly that it was just a small ball. She was about to raise her hand to catch it when a ferocious mechanical dragon head suddenly appeared beside her.
It opened its upper and lower jaws wide and bit the ball accurately, causing the ball to explode, leaving only a shriveled layer hanging on its sharp serrated fangs.
Frederick smiled with the corners of his lips curved. "When playing, please be careful, my dear children..."
Mu Yue was startled, and Su Xin bravely pulled the ball out of the mechanical dragon's mouth and tried to smooth things over with a smile.
"Ahahaha...your sister Frederick feels that this ball is a little hard and is afraid that you might hurt each other when you play with it, so she asked me to make a softer ball. Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong."
"Needle, needle? I, I didn't mean to do that..." Mutsuki admitted his mistake obediently.
"Really, really, this dragon was summoned just because I told her you liked it, so she summoned it for you to see. Isn't it cool?"
Frederick looked at the little commander in surprise, then relaxed his expression. He also called out the other mechanical dragon head and let the children look at it in amazement.
Jean Barton, who didn't have time to stop the ball, paused, leaned back against the wall silently, folded his arms and looked at the bustling crowd.
"...What a noisy bunch of guys."
Veneto of Sardinia was a beautiful woman with a proud figure and also the leader of an empire.
But unfortunately, in this bustling port area, there is no ship girl who is a sister in the same camp as her, which makes her feel helpless, but also makes her determined to "restore the glory of the empire."
She was determined, but she had to worry about how to take the first step.
The atmosphere in this port area is very peaceful. Although the "ball incident" just now was rather sudden, emergencies can best reflect a person's ability and character.
Veneto was not quite sure about the abilities of this overly young conductor, but she knew that he should be someone who was easy to get along with.
And she was brave, much stronger than the first impression, which made Veneto think a little higher of Su Xin.
At least as a commander, he is willing to take time out of his busy schedule to help these newly arrived members get familiar with the port area, which is enough to prove his sincerity.
(Su Xin, who has nothing to do during the long grass season: …?)
Veneto wanted to get along well with everyone, but she didn't have the confidence to do so being alone, until she heard the little commander introduce himself to everyone.
"Well... this is the public bath in the port area. It's divided into several areas, and there's no need for tickets. If you need to, you can go in and relax at any time."
"That's it◇、(°~)◆"
"Ahem...everyone." Veneto lifted his long hair and spoke sincerely under everyone's gaze, "Since we have such favorable conditions, why don't we take this opportunity to get closer while taking a bath!"
"..."
"..."
Veneto blinked, feeling a little embarrassed. In her impression, "bath diplomacy" should be a move that no one could refuse. Why did everyone seem to be uninterested?
"Let's get to know each other in the pool!"
"..
"..."
Veneto didn't quite understand, but she was really embarrassed. Fortunately, the little conductor gave an explanation, "Well... Sister Veneto, it's like this. The children still have to go to class later."
"If you want to take a bath, I'd be happy to accompany you. As for the others... well, do you want to go around the port area or take a rest first?"
"Well... the afternoon tea party has just started. As for the morning tea party, I haven't been there for a long time. I can go with you." Guanghui pinched his shoulders and missed the buoyancy.
Veneto was inexplicably moved. He didn't expect that the first person to support him, besides the little commander, would be the Royal Aircraft Carrier. He felt mixed
Dafeng was the second one to raise her hand in agreement. If she had not been more restrained recently, she would have probably lay on the ground and raised her limbs in agreement.
That's the Commander! The sweet and soft Commander! What does taking a bath mean? It means that I can look at the Commander's delicate body openly!
Taking a bath? Taking a bath is nothing. She, Dafeng, can even sleep in the bathhouse without coming out!
Helena was rarely at home. As soon as she saw Dafeng's expression, she knew what he was thinking. She immediately took the commander's hand and said, "Okay, but I suggest we divide them into camps. Otherwise, it will be very crowded."
"——Stop it, Commander, I have something good to show you, choose our Sakura Empire, choose Sakura Empire, choose Sakura Empire—
Since none of the Donghuang shipgirls were there, Su Xin didn't care. "Then let's go by faction? The pool should be big enough. I'll just... go to the same pool with the sisters from Sardinia, Vichy, and Iris. There won't be many people there, so it won't be crowded."
"No——!!" (BGM: Snowflakes falling~)
Regarding the severely damaged Sakura Empire aircraft carrier, Commander Su Xiao turned around and comforted the frightened Nagato, "Well... that's how she is. Don't be afraid. Let's get along well."
"Of course I know. I am Nagato, the flagship of the Sakura Empire Combined Fleet. How could I be frightened by someone from my own family..."
