My ship girl setup is off...

Page 138

"Commander, be serious. I'm not the secretary ship today..."

"You came to kiss me forcefully when you first saw me, so when are you going to take on that role?"

"That was me. I was acting a little strange back then; there were still two days until my turn."

The woman whispered in his ear, admitting that she had acted somewhat abnormally back then. She had wanted to see him for a long time, which was why she had done what she did. Now that he was by her side, she naturally wouldn't do that again, but...

The company still chose to agree to his request.

"Okay, then I want to see you wearing a Lolita fashion outfit, and with black stockings, the sheer kind."

"Isn't that what I'm wearing right now?"

"This is different. I want to see companies wearing uniforms, and specifically, black stockings."

Faced with the commander's request, Enterprise did not give him a direct reply. Instead, she nodded with a blush. After all, Enterprise had been sworn to him for several years and knew that his requests were all expressions of his infatuation with her. Enterprise felt very happy to be asked by her lover.

"Commander, although I know you really like Ms. Enterprise, we're out here now, so please be careful."

As Zheng Ri embraced the company, a gentle and warm voice, like a breeze, came from behind him. It was like an angel's voice, and just hearing it made him feel comfortable. Just as Zheng Ri was about to turn around, he heard another voice.

"Commander, it's been a long time. This time, I'm still serving as your bodyguard in the guise of a Royal Guard Knight. I hope you'll entrust everything to me this time as well."

At this moment, Zheng Ri released his embrace of Enterprise, turned his head, and no longer needed to guess which two ship girls they were; they were the ones who had been surrounding him from the beginning.

"Plymouth, and also, the midfielders."

"Yes, Commander. I hope you're in a good mood. Today is another beautiful and hopeful day. If you'd like, please feel free to give Plymouth any orders, Commander."

Hearing the commander call her name, Plymouth smiled happily and gave him a curtsy, hoping he would treat her the same way he always had.

"Me too, Commander. I will obey any orders."

Qianwei echoed the same sentiment, expressing his heartfelt joy at being able to circle around him again.

"Since you've all put it that way, then of course I'll do it. So, what should I do next?"

After nodding to them, Zheng Ri turned to look at the company.

Plymouth and the vanguard were guards, but now they were in charge of the company, after all, the company was one of the secretaries.

"Commander, I know you have fond memories of Plymouth and the Vanguard, but don't forget you've also chosen someone else."

Seeing that Zheng Ri was eager to continue, the company gave him a smile, after all, there were three guards.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a figure appeared in an instant, arriving beside him before Zheng Ri could even react. Upon seeing him, the figure wore a respectful expression.

"Commander, it's been a long time. Thank you for giving me such a rare opportunity. I will do my best to fulfill my mission as your protector."

"...It's about independence."

Once the figure was clearly seen, upon closer inspection, it was indeed Duli, and she was wearing a full set of ship uniforms. However, after taking one look, one couldn't take their eyes off her.

Although I had experienced it firsthand when I was in White Eagle, I still have to admit that Independent was quite large when it came to me.

"Yes, Commander, it's me. While I don't mind your gaze, please at least don't keep staring at me like that."

Stared at like that, a faint blush crept onto Duli's pretty, independent face. Thinking back to that night, her own madness and the commander's brutality, Duli couldn't help but rub her legs together to relieve the rising sensation.

"Oh, sorry, but you're independent. The company specifically mentioned you to me, and I've also considered your abilities, so I think you can do it."

Zheng Ri withdrew his gaze and then spoke seriously. The company's proposal was one aspect, but the main thing was the ability to independently influence the world. Of course, the most important thing was that it was visually appealing.

One should be honest.

"Yes, Commander, but before that, may I hug you?"

Zheng Ri nodded, and Du Li immediately hugged him, gently rubbing against him to make his already wet legs feel better. However, after rubbing against him, the feeling became even more pronounced.

Chapter 368 Central Area

"This is the central office area. All administrative orders will be issued from here. Of course, if you, Commander, occasionally wish to come and check on things, they will all pass through your hands."

"Next door is the tea and lounge area. If you're interested, there are related items for sale on the next floor. Of course, if you're interested in that..."

Led by the company, Zheng Ri and the others took the elevator. When they reached the thirteenth floor, they arrived at the office. After verification, they opened Zheng Ri's office area. Upon entering, they saw people waiting for them, but it wasn't Bismarck and the others; it was someone else.

"Commander, greetings! We've finally waited for you. Now that you're here, please rest for a while, Belfast~"

Upon seeing Zheng Ri approach, Guang Hui put down the porcelain-white teacup she was holding and stood up. She came to Zheng Ri, performed a ladylike curtsy, and then turned to Belfast, who was waiting, and asked her to make tea. At this moment, Zheng Ri also turned to look at her.

Glorious, Belfast, my wife, and Tirpitz.

Upon noticing that he was looking over, Azuma and Tirpitz simultaneously looked up at him. Azuma then raised her hand and waved at him, while Tirpitz smiled. Masahiro returned their smiles in return.

"Understood, Miss Radiant, Miss Enterprise. Now that our master has arrived, please allow him to rest for a while. He must be quite tired after the journey."

Belfast turned around and spoke with a smile, but what Belfast said made Enterprise feel a little helpless. She was already tired after walking only a few steps, but she didn't say anything. Anyway, Enterprise didn't intend to let the Commander manage things. She just treated it as a process. However, his residence here would make it easier for the ship girls to find him and communicate.

This is the most important thing.

"Commander, please have a seat. I'll go process these documents and come back later."

The company waved to him, saying that since he had been invited by Glorious Belfast, he should deal with the files on his desktop. However, as soon as the company finished speaking, Zheng Ri became puzzled.

"Enterprises, I remember Essex handled that before, didn't they?"

"That's only temporary. Now that the secretariat is here, there's no need to trouble Essex, unless you, Commander, personally designate her to take charge. I think she'd be more than happy to do so."

The company took the seat that originally belonged to Zheng Ri, picked up the report that was being sent from the printer, looked at it, and explained it to Zheng Ri.

Now that she's started to see the company as her own voluntary employee, Zheng Ri felt a mix of emotions. Compared to this, she felt a little embarrassed for having delegated everything to the company before.

"Enterprise, let me handle things in the port area from now on. I feel like I'm becoming useless because I always have to do things for you."

After scratching his head, Zheng Ri looked at Belfast, who was waiting for him to sit down, and the company, which was already thinking about how to handle the report. Zheng Ri decided that he would have to take over the work from now on.

"Commander, are you serious?"

Tirpitz, who was sitting on the soft sofa staring blankly at him, heard him say this...

After saying that, he immediately became serious. If it were true, that would be wonderful.

Compared to the ship girls who only care about feeding, drinking, and having fun, Tirpitz prefers that he do something productive. Not much, just reading the reports every day is enough; he doesn't need to do anything else. After all, it's better not to let him know some things.

"Yes, Commander, why don't we think about it some more? Let's sit down, have a cup of tea, eat some cake, and then think it over carefully before making a decision?"

Upon hearing Zheng Ri's words, Guang Hui's face showed confusion and bewilderment. Although he didn't know why Zheng Ri would suddenly have such an idea, he still hoped that he could sit down first and think it over carefully.

Of course, the most important thing is that Glory doesn't want him to stay in the office all the time. It would be better if he came out for a stroll from time to time, came to the Royal Palace, and discussed some philosophical theories about life with him, and even did some practice.

Thinking of this, Guanghui came to his side, gently took his arm, and pressed her chest against him to draw his attention away from him and onto her.

"No, I do have that thought, and so do you, Guanghui. I won't change my mind even if you do this."

Zheng Ri looked at the company, then at Guang Hui, trying to struggle his arms out of her soft embrace, but Guang Hui maintained a gentle smile, preventing him from breaking free.

"Alright, Commander, since you've put it that way, the rest of the documents are up to you."

Seeing that her commander had become somewhat stubborn, Enterprise didn't think much of it, taking it as just a whim of his wanting to experience the power of authority, even though it wouldn't matter if he didn't sit there.

Nevertheless, the company still arranged the reports on the table and saved and checked the files on the work computer, waiting for the commander to come over so they could teach him a thing or two.

"Okay, after all, I can't just spend all my time eating, drinking, and having fun; I still need to do some work."

Zheng Ri nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the arm that Guang Hui was still holding, and had no choice but to sit with her in the reserved seat. Only then did Guang Hui let go of his arm, allowing him to properly enjoy the aroma of the black tea.

Upon witnessing this scene, Plymouth and the vanguard quietly went to their positions at the door. After all, although they were supposed to be guards, the handover of duties had not yet been completed, so they had no choice but to take on the role of doormen for the time being.

"I think the most important thing is that the Commander can do whatever he likes."

Seeing Masahiro sitting opposite her, Azuma didn't seem to think anything of it, but was seriously considering his feelings. Masahiro, on the other hand, was somewhat dismissive and asked Azuma a question in return.

"My wife, what do you think is the most important thing? I don't have many favorite things, but if I had to choose, you two are my favorites."

"Hmm, Commander... I think the more important thing is for you to get to know those children better. After all, they've been wanting to play with you for a long time."

Masaharu suddenly said something that sounded like a confession, which made Azuma a little shy, but she still answered him seriously.

Because as a commander, to a large extent, the most important thing is to build a relationship with the ship girls.

Chapter 369 We must save them fiercely!

In a dimly lit room, the running game console and the dimly lit monitor light shone on the face of the ship girl who was staring at the screen.

This ship girl, wearing headphones, sat on a mattress that resembled a large ship model, her rounded legs bent as she listened to the sounds coming from the headphones. Then, she reached out her delicate white hand into the bag of potato chips beside her, pinched out a chip, and put it in her mouth to chew and enjoy.

Just like wearing clothes that symbolize retirement, one can slowly savor the joy of staying at home. It's a pity that retirement is not allowed in the port area.

She is a classic homebody.

Sitting next to her was a ship girl with mechanical ears and headphones on her head. She was only wearing a white, breathable top with anime prints on it. However, the ship girl had been modified and upgraded, and the breathable top that she could fit into before had become a bit tight, but it highlighted her figure, which had begun to show after the modification.

Upon closer inspection, a faint blush could be seen on the chest area of ​​her shirt, but she was completely unaware of it, as she was holding a game console and pressing buttons with interest. Moreover, there were only the two of them in this dimly lit room.

"Long Island, I'm thirsty, could you get me a Coke?"

"Huh? No~, just go get it yourself. It's right there. Little Lingbo eats and drinks from me, fine, but I can't go get it for myself~"

Nagashima refused Ayanami's request, keeping her eyes fixed on the screen, but pointed to where she had placed the snacks, which were just a few steps away and within easy reach.

Seeing that Nagashima was still as lazy as ever, Ayanami had no choice but to put down her game console. She then slowly took small steps to the cabinet where she kept her snacks, opened it, and looked at the neatly arranged bottles of carbonated soda. Ayanami casually picked out a large bottle, closed the cabinet, and leisurely sat back down in her previous spot to continue playing her game.

After that, neither of the two long islands spoke, nor did Ayanami Yoru speak; the only sound that could be heard in the room was...

It's the game sound and the clicking sounds of various buttons coming from the speakers.

But after only a few minutes, Nagashima turned around and looked at Ayanami with his somewhat dim blue eyes. Seeing that she was still engrossed in the game, he couldn't help but speak first:

"Little Ayanami, I remember you're the Commander's beloved daughter, right? And a married ship at that. Why aren't you playing with Laffey and Javelin, instead of staying here playing games with me?"

I think this is completely unnecessary.

After saying that, Long Island put down the controller and stared at Lingbo with curious eyes, as if he wanted to see through Lingbo. There weren't many people like him who had voluntarily become homebos, but Lingbo had come over and was even playing games with him.

It was like stepping back into the early days of the port's development, but Nagashima knew that Ayanami must have had a deeper meaning.

Lingbo ignored Changdao and continued typing on the game keys, her eyes still fixed on the game screen. Zhang Qi was not in a hurry and patiently waited for Lingbo to finish.

Only after Lingbo had utterly defeated the fire dragon did she put down the game console, turn to look at Long Island with a blank expression, and slowly say what she wanted to know.

"Because... Javelin has always been trying to please the Commander, while Laffey hasn't been very proactive, so Ayanami hasn't joined in the fun..."

"As for the Commander's daughter, the Commander buys more clothes for Ayanami, but more than clothes, Ayanami just wants the Commander to spend more time with her..."

Thinking about what Long Island had said, Ayanami began to recall the bits and pieces of her time during the pioneering days, as well as the clothes the commander had given her. Ayanami felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and a sweet smile appeared on her previously expressionless face.

"Ugh, why did I have to ask that? I'm so envious, Rei~"

Seeing Ayanami looking radiant and smiling beautifully, Nagashima felt as if he had been blinded by her beauty. He looked at Ayanami with a resentful expression and said something full of regret.

"Ayanami is not young at all, and besides, Ayanami is a married ship!"

Ayanami seemed oblivious to Nagashima's resentment, deliberately revealing the Oath Ring emanating a faint glow from her right ring finger. This caused Nagashima to once again cover his eyes, staring intently at the Oath Ring with a resentment that was gradually materializing, saying:

"Ayanami, I already know. So, can you please put your ring away properly? If this continues, I'm afraid even the holy light won't be needed to dispel it; the ghostly Long Island will already disappear on its own..."

"Oh, I see," I said.

Ayanami nodded, carefully putting away the ring in her hand, and then smiled slightly.

I saw a ghost in the sun, I'm so happy.

"Ayanami, I heard that the Commander has applied for the construction of a central area and offices in the center of the port. Ayanami wants to go and see the Commander."

"Long Island, shall we go see the Commander with Ayanami?"

Unusually, Rei didn't use her usual verbal tics this time, nor did she have a serious expression on her face. This time, Rei was serious.

However, Miss Ghost turned around, waved her hand to indicate that it was alright, and then picked up the game controller again to continue playing the game while talking to her.

"I'll pass, but Ayanami, if you want to go, go ahead. You're the Commander's darling daughter, he adores you. For me, a soon-to-disappear ghost who can only observe from the sidelines, it's just too frustrating. The difference between us is like heaven and earth, Ayanami."

"Without realizing it, we've already built a thick wall around ourselves, Ayanami."

Nagashima spoke softly, without any emotion, but to Ayanami, Nagashima inexplicably became emo, and seemed to have gained an air of inexplicable sadness, as if separating the two of them.

This was unacceptable to Ayanami.

"That won't do! Long Island, Ayanami will save you!"

Suddenly, Ayanami, realizing that she had to take immediate action, became more serious than ever before, staring at Nagashima with sharp eyes, which sent a chill down the latter's spine.

"No, I was just saying it offhand."

"Tame! The Commander said that every tragedy in this world must be annihilated!!"

Chapter 370 Crying Loudly
