Under Rossia's direct and scrutinizing gaze, Zheng Ri accepted her guidance, realized his mistake, and promised to correct it next time.
"Hehe~, just kidding, Commander. Our port has become a big family. With sufficient combat power and abundant resources, it's only right to satisfy individual desires appropriately. Besides, having you by our side is enough. Let us fight without restraint."
"However, I personally do not support your behavior, so you can find some appropriate and beneficial things to do..."
After watching Rossia chuckle, Zheng Ri began to retort, but the more he listened, the more he felt there was something more to her words, so he went along with her.
For example?
"For example, engaging in some exercise that is beneficial to both physical and mental health is a good idea. Of course, you can also come and chat with me privately about this topic."
When Zheng Ri asked her curiously, Rossia stopped hiding her intentions and simply told him directly. Zheng Ri understood immediately and laughed. He understood what Rossia meant.
The truth has finally come out; they've been hiding it quite well. They thought they were living a comfortable life, but then they were sentenced to have their property confiscated and were sent to Siberia to grow potatoes.
"Alright, Commander, let's get down to business. You've been here with our Northern Alliance for almost a week now. If possible, we'd like you to stay here, but obviously, that's the reality."
"So how about we go for a soak in a hot spring tonight, like back in Sardinia? Veneto said that bathing is a friendly way to resolve issues. Of course, what I really want is for our relationship to take a step further..."
"So, Commander, let's take a bath together tonight and be completely honest with each other in the warm and comfortable hot spring!"
Rossia crossed her arms and looked at Zheng Ri, extending a direct invitation to him. However, this was not an invitation for one person, but for everyone together.
There is no reason to refuse, nor can I refuse.
"Okay, I have no problem with that, but I feel the key point isn't so much about soaking in hot springs, but rather about being honest and open with each other?"
Rossia's straightforwardness made
Zheng Ri immediately understood that these ship girls were just lusting after his body. Was that okay? That was great, and so blatantly so. How could he possibly refuse?
"Yes, the key is to be honest with each other, but it's a little embarrassing that you've brought it up so specifically, Commander..."
A faint blush rose on Rossia's fair face. Although she knew the purpose of the topic, being brought up in such a prominent way still made her a little shy.
However, Bellarose didn't seem to care much. Instead, he went up to Zheng Ri, gently touched his face, and said in a slightly smug tone:
"Don't worry, Rosia, that's just how he is. He always likes to bring up embarrassing topics and make us look the way he wants to see, to satisfy his inner pleasure."
"Darling? Bellarose, could it be that you've already..."
Bella Rose spoke as if she were disgusted, but Rossia noticed the way she addressed her, which made the latter quickly understand a fact.
"Well, I have that identity now, but it's not real. So, my dear Commander, when will you give me the proper certification?"
As Rossia looked at him with surprise, a hint of smugness appeared on Bellaros's face. He knew that although he was far back in line, he was still earlier than his companions, so he was first.
"I'll give you what you deserve, but it'll be a while. Don't worry, I won't stand you up..."
Warninged by Bella Rose's words of reminder, Masahi silently endured the gazes of the surrounding ship girls, promising her that he would not stand her up, otherwise he might be drowned in the sea, and he did not want to become the second person.
"I didn't say that, Commander, you said it."
Watching Zheng Ri endure the gazes of his companions, Bella Rose felt a slight sense of pleasure. After all, it wasn't just him who was forcing her to get married. But these kinds of things definitely need to be reminded occasionally, otherwise it wouldn't be good if she were forgotten sometime.
Looking at Zheng Ri's current state, Rossia thought for only a few seconds before directly saying to him:
"Commander, I think we can go to the hot springs now; this is very important."

Chapter 348 I'm Back
"Commander, welcome back."
"Yes, I'm back."
After staying in the Northern Union for a few more days, he finally finished the process. As soon as he returned, he saw Enterprise Belfast and others waiting for him, including Amagi, Hood, Enterprise, Richelieu, Veneto, and others.
To Masaharu's surprise, quite a few people came, including Elizabeth and Akagi. Judging from their expressions, it seemed that nothing unpleasant had happened.
"Hey! Servant! You've been staying in that Northern Alliance place for so long, don't you want to come back?"
Upon seeing Zheng Ri, Elizabeth, who had been waiting bored, immediately showed a look of surprise. However, thinking about what he had done, she suddenly felt annoyed, jumped up and ran to him, pointed at him with the ship's scepter in her hand, and vented her feelings at him.
"No, I just wanted to go see my ship girls, my queen. Are you really going to abandon a commander who cares so much about his ship girls?"
Seeing Elizabeth questioning him while holding the ship's equipment, Zheng Ri bent down and hugged her. Then, he began to recount his journey in the guise of doing everything for the good of the fleet. After all, in Zheng Ri's eyes, Elizabeth was like a bluffing golden cat that needed to be coaxed.
"Aren't you acting strange? You never used to talk like this..."
"And also, put me down immediately! Otherwise, what kind of decorum is this?"
Elizabeth was suddenly embraced by him and, sensing something was wrong, questioned him for a moment before asking him to put her down first. After all, she was the queen, and to be embraced like a destroyer in front of so many ship girls was unacceptable.
"But my queen, didn't you say you were going to abandon me? This is so heartbreaking!"
"When did I ever say I was abandoning you? Okay, okay, I forgive you, put me down now."
Feeling the amused looks from her companions, Elizabeth chose to forgive him. She couldn't help it; otherwise, she would lose all her authority.
"That's good. Thank you so much, Your Majesty! Mua~"
Seeing that Elizabeth was no longer arrogant, Zheng Ri happily kissed her cute little face, and then felt the queen in his arms calm down before putting her down.
"Don't do this in front of so many people!"
After belatedly realizing what had happened to her, Elizabeth blushed slightly, then glared at him fiercely and gave him a warning.
"Master, while we are delighted by your pleasant time with Her Majesty the Queen, there are other companions waiting for you before that."
Seeing that her master was trying to flirt with the Queen again, Belfast stepped in to stop him. She wouldn't say anything in private, but with so many people around, the Queen's dignity still needed to be maintained.
"I was wrong, Belfast, and I'm back."
Looking at Belfast, who was smiling and winking at him, Zheng Ri nodded in acknowledgment of his mistake, then took two steps forward to hug her.
"Yes, Master, Belfast has always been by your side."
My lord... really...
The Commander and Belfast's embrace was naturally witnessed by Amagi, a hint of a smile playing on her lips. Although her lord deeply loved his ship girls, while Elizabeth was fine, Belfast...
However, this might cause other companions to have the same thought.
"Master, please save what you want to say for tonight. I'll be looking forward to your journey."
After embracing for several seconds, Belfast released him with satisfaction, and just as he was about to speak, she pressed her finger against his lips to stop him from speaking.
Belfast believed that her master would definitely have a topic to discuss that would satisfy both of them tonight.
"Commander, what about me? Akagi wants a hug too~"
"me too"
As soon as Belfast turned around and left, Akagi and Kaga followed closely behind, arriving in front of Masahiro with gentle smiles on their faces. Judging from the swaying of Kujo behind them, if their wishes were not fulfilled, they would definitely be wrapped up tightly.
Hard adhesive.
"Alright, alright, my two clingy foxes."
Seeing that they wanted to cuddle, Zheng Ri didn't refuse. Instead, he opened his arms and hugged them both, one on each side, feeling their soft bodies. He reached behind their tails, grabbed their wriggling tails, and felt the fluffy texture in his hands.
"Hehe~, Commander, do you like Akagi's tail?"
"Of course, it's not just because I like your tail, I also love your fox ears, which are your soul, my chocolate, and my aloof vanilla."
She kissed Akagi and Kaga's cheeks and stroked their tails, one on each side. These were their souls; no one could resist a clingy fox girl.
"I'm not aloof, Commander..."
Kaga, who was being held gently by him, also had a happy smile on her face, but she did not agree with his description of being aloof. She was just adhering to a principle.
"It doesn't matter, whether you are or not, you are my vanilla."
Instead of touching their tails, Masaharu started touching their fox ears. He had seen how Akagi foxes were touched before, so he tried it out. There was a slight reaction, but not as much as he had imagined.
"If the Commander likes it, feel me a little longer. Akagi also enjoys the feeling of the Commander touching her, hehe~"
Sensing his thoughts, Akagi smiled happily, knowing that her commander hadn't been attracted to those other sly foxes and still liked her the way she was, especially in front of so many people.
"Alright, that's fine. If you guys stick it over here, the other people will complain."
Releasing her hands from their kneading, Masahi distanced herself from them. The clingy foxes were nice, but there were other ship girls watching. Although none of them spoke, Masahi began to sense something was off—their gazes were starting to change.
"Commander, I want one too!"
Chapter 349 Arrangements!
"Your Majesty seems a little tired. Would you like Tiancheng to give you a massage?"
"Thank you very much."
Zheng Ri was lounging in his office, which was actually the command center. However, he had never actually used it to command, so it had become an office for handling daily affairs in the port area. After Zheng Ri finished speaking, Amagi sat down next to him with a smile, turned him over, and began to massage him with his bare hands.
As for why it turned out this way, it's because we couldn't be biased, so we kissed all the ship girls present. But some ship girls didn't just want that; they started to push their luck and began to ask for kisses, and that's how things started.
"Commander, would you like a cup of black tea? Please have one if you're tired; it's brewed by Belfast."
Seeing Amagi step forward to fawn over the commander, Hu De didn't know what to say. He could only offer a cup of black tea, saying that there was nothing black tea couldn't lift one's spirits, and if there was, he'd have two.
Or a cup of extra-strong black tea brewed by the Commander himself would be perfectly fine.
“I think the master prefers something better for his health than black tea. And, Miss Hood, here is your black tea.”
"Thank you, Belfast, but given our relationship, there's no need for that kind of address, is there?"
"certainly"
Belfast served Hood the black tea she had made and they began to chat idly.
"May I have a drink too, Miss Belfast?"
"Okay, Miss Veneto, please wait a moment."
Seeing the tea Belfast brewed, Veneto couldn't help but order a cup as well, after all, tea ceremony was something only royalty possessed.
So we have to wait until Amagi finishes massaging the Commander? If there's nothing important, I can go help out too.”
Richelieu, who was sitting a little further away from Bismarck, looked at Amagi, then at Belfast. If there was nothing else, they could each go about their own business, or they could get straight to the point.
"Of course not, it's just that we need to wait for a Northern Alliance ship girl to arrive. Well, she's arrived now."
As soon as she finished speaking, the door was opened, and the ship girls looked over and saw Rossia coming over, who apologized to them.
"I apologize, but the Sirens at the front lines launched an overly fierce attack for some reason, which led to us being invited by the Maritime Bureau to handle the situation. We're only just getting back, so we're a bit late."
"It's alright, Rossia. The Maritime Bureau's reward is quite generous, and it's part of the treaty, so there's no need for us to refuse. Satisfying our fighting spirit occasionally is quite nice."
Hood put down his teacup, smiled at Rossia, and clearly didn't mind her lateness. He then said something that surprised Rossia.
"Really? I thought you were going to say something, well, not very elegant?"
"That's a stereotype, Rossia. It's an honor to complete the necessary tasks."
"Hmm, that's right."
Rossia nodded, and then saw Zheng Ri enjoying a massage from Tiancheng. Seeing his tired appearance, Rossia assumed that he had been exercising all the way.
"Now that Rosia is here, let's begin our discussions, Commander."
Bismarck sat between Hood and Richelieu, a serious expression on his face. If Rossiya hadn't come, they could have chatted idly, but now that he was here, it was time to get down to business.
Upon hearing Bismarck call his name, Zheng Ri sat up straight and had Rossia sit next to him. He had to be serious no matter what, even though he didn't know what important matter they were going to discuss.
After seeing Zheng Ri sit up straight, Enterprise took out a document from her ship's equipment and placed it in front of Zheng Ri.
"Commander, I received feedback from you and the other ship girls before, saying that you were planning to build a spot for yourself in the center of the port area?"
"Yes, that's what I was thinking. I was thinking that it would be convenient for you to come find me, and for me to come find you, because I noticed that you all have your own territories..."
"But why didn't Yixian come?"
Zheng Ri nodded and expressed his thoughts. He had received too many messages on his phone from ship girls who wanted to see him but couldn't. Since that was the case, he decided to live in the center, which would be more convenient and faster.
"Okay, then Commander, do you need to... change that central location over there into a command center?"
"As for Yixian... we invited her, but she chose not to come."
The company expressed its doubts to Zheng Ri. The commander's office area and command room were not in the same place. Whether or not they needed to be moved was up to him. As for Yi Xian, they chose to have no objection.
"Oh, I see. No need then. I'll still go back there if necessary. I'll stay in the center as well, although I don't really feel like I need to come to the office right now."
Zheng Ri complained that he was now sidelined, or rather, unable to oversee affairs openly. He felt it was pretty much the same wherever he was. Enterprise and the others didn't say anything to him. They couldn't exactly tell him, "Commander, you don't need to come anymore. Just stay in bed."
"I understand, Commander. So... which ship girls would you like to assign as your escorts, and who can take care of you personally?"
Skipping over that topic, Enterprise moved on to the next one, but her tone became somewhat more animated when she brought it up, and the other ship girls looked at Masahiro with smiles on their faces.
