"I feel like I understood it, but it's not like I really grasped it," Zheng Ri pondered for a moment. Although he had spoken, he hadn't gotten to the core of the matter. However, Qian Wei, who was listening, looked up and asked Zheng Ri:
"Commander, would you like to hear my answer?"
"Tell me?"
Qianwei shifted slightly, facing Zhengri directly, chuckled, and kissed him. Their kisses intertwined, but lasted a little too long, leaving Zhengri feeling slightly breathless. Afterward, Qianwei rested his head on Zhengri's shoulder and slowly explained:
"That's my answer, Commander. It's like seagulls going to the docks for fries. Seagulls need fries, and we need you, Commander. To put it bluntly, it's a relationship of mutual benefit. Love is also a kind of mutual benefit. Of course, I prefer to use nicer words, like..." Vanguard paused, looked at Zheng Ri, and said with a smile:
"Commander, we love you."
Chapter 56 Yellow Chicken, Just Because You Are So Beautiful
"The next important thing I need to discuss with you privately is the allocation of sea areas and the construction of the port area. Do you have any questions about that, Commander Zhengri?"
"Yes, I want to ask why everyone else has been assigned their assigned sea area, but mine is empty? And Instructor Roya, you don't seem to be in charge of this, do you?" In a private room, Zheng Ri looked at Roya in front of him. Although they were acquaintances and he had received help from Roya at the beginning, why was it still you?
"What, you don't like me? Okay, long time no see, just kidding." Seeing Zheng Ri's reaction, Luo Ya raised an eyebrow, then smiled with relief.
"Well, it's been a long time. But let's get straight to the point. My ship girl is waiting for me." Zheng Ri said with a smile, which made Luo Ya momentarily lose her composure. The latter shook her head before slowly explaining.
"The reason I called you over is because the other commanders have basically already been assigned their respective sea areas, and there shouldn't be any major relocations unless something unexpected happens. But you're different," Roya explained to Zheng Ri after thinking for a moment, while also looking directly at him, or more accurately at the ship girl forces surrounding him, and at the gaze behind Zheng Ri.
"Because your ship girls are exceptionally talented and have passed numerical testing, they are all unique legendary-level ship girls. However, your Plymouth is not legendary, but she is close. Therefore, you will be assigned to establish a port in a low- or medium-risk sea area."
"Is this a decision from above?" Zheng Ri frowned as he looked at Luo Ya. Although he had been prepared, the arrival of Musashi and Shinano directly caused him to quickly advance from a low-risk area to a medium-risk area.
"Yes, you know it yourself. Moreover, they highly approve of you as a newcomer. Both your completion rate of ship girl missions and the client's evaluation are excellent. Therefore, they are prepared to strongly support you and help you grow quickly into a major force against the Sirens." Since there were no surveillance cameras or related equipment around, Roya stated it directly.
"Of course, it's not just empty talk; there will be action. You'll receive more supplies than others. The maritime authorities will turn a blind eye to the reciprocal exchanges on the shipping routes. You only need to pay a very low percentage of taxes on your battle achievements on the platform, and you only need to submit three percent of your spoils. They basically won't interfere with port matters. How about it?" Luo Ya presented Zheng Ri with very generous options, emphasizing that risk and reward are intertwined, with high risk leading to high reward.
"Let me think about it, I'll consider it." Hearing such a generous reward, Zheng Ri said he would stay calm, but he was already tempted. However, he couldn't do it now. He hadn't listened to the advice of his elders before and was now suffering the consequences. He didn't have enough social experience and still needed to discuss it with his ship girl.
"Okay, you have a few more days to think about it. Next, let's talk about the port construction." Seeing Zheng Ri remain calm, Luo Ya smiled, thinking that since she had brought him back, he must have a certain level of self-control. She hoped that he would not let her down.
"Regarding the construction of the port area, you're a newcomer, so you have more options. Everyone will be provided with a seawater purification device and a power transmission unit; you'll have two. They also have a small signal receiving tower, and you'll have that too. Furthermore, we'll build network base stations in more distant locations, and you can also choose to build multiple sports facilities, etc. I've sent it to you; take a look yourself."
Halfway through her conversation, Luo Ya suddenly remembered that she had a list. She picked up her terminal, found Zheng Ri's name, and sent an electronic list to Zheng Ri's terminal, namely the SG communicator.
"You can choose this when you go back. Just tick the boxes you can select, and you can also customize the port layout," Luo Ya patiently explained to Zheng Ri, almost like she was his mother helping him with everything. However, looking at the detailed information on the terminal...
Looking at the detailed list of optional categories, Zheng Ri stroked his chin and sensed something was wrong.
"No, I'm just curious. Building a port area requires a huge amount of manpower, material resources, and financial resources. Are you only talking about it now? Is it too late?" Zheng Ri saw the optional deadlines on the list, which were less than three days away. He thought that building a port area usually takes more than a year. Why are you only talking about it now?
"...I think you're either daydreaming or sleeping in class, and you've forgotten something very important." Luo Ya looked at Zheng Ri in shock, leaving the latter confused. After Luo Ya clapped her hands, several small figures walked out from behind her. They were hairless, but looked very bouncy, like chicks, but the same size as mature hens. Someone who didn't know them might even think they were dolls, but Zheng Ri knew they were Manjiu.
Most importantly, this yellow chicken was actually wearing a helmet and a wrench. And looking at the yellow chicken I saw that day, I thought that if it wore shoulder-strap pants, it would definitely look similar to that one, because you are just too beautiful.
"These creatures called Manju can transform a barren land into a port suitable for human habitation within a week. Unfortunately, they only live by the sea and only have feelings for the Commander and ship girls," Roya explained with a smile as she watched Manju flutter its little wings.
"...Okay, I have one more question. Do we need to give it any reward?" Looking at the Manju that had stopped struggling, Zheng Ri thought for a moment and asked.
"Rewards? Oh, they need red tips, but not much. We just need to give them enough food to fill their stomachs and enough items for them to barely trade. Anyway, it's not much, less than five percent of your commander's salary," Roya said with a smile, but in Zheng Ri's eyes, she seemed to need a street lamp.
"By the way, there aren't many other matters. I'll contact you later if needed." Noticing the dissatisfaction in her gaze, Luo Ya issued a banishment order to Zheng Ri, then looked at the captured Man Qiu on her own.
"Okay, that's settled then." After confirming that everything was alright, Zheng Ri tidied up his things and walked out. However, as soon as he came out, he saw the two wedding ships and two big foxes waiting for him.
"Why are you here?"
“Commander, everyone is waiting for you, and…” Vanguard first explained the reason, then looked around at Roya inside, and whispered in his ear:
"There is a video call request from...the port office."
Chapter 57 I heard everything you were planning over there.
"Can you still see it now?" Zheng Ri touched the hickeys on his neck and looked in the mirror. Although most of them were covered by his collar, a small portion of the hickeys were still visible. Having experience, Zheng Ri knew that they wouldn't disappear overnight.
"Emmm, it's okay, Commander. Even if they see it, it doesn't matter. Besides, the other sisters might be envious." Vanguard's right hand touched Zheng Ri's kiss mark. Looking at the kiss mark he had sucked out, and then at the Oath Ring on his ring finger, Vanguard felt his sense of possession was satisfied.
"...Sigh, never mind, Musashi, Shinano, you two come sit down too." After sighing, Masahi looked at Musashi and Shinano who were standing behind him, not knowing what they were doing, so he invited them to sit on the sofa.
"Commander, you can start right away." Musashi glanced at Vanguard, who was secretly chuckling to himself, and patted Shinano, who was lost in thought. Since Vanguard had promised to take down the commander, he should do a good job. So he woke Shinano up.
Masaharu glanced at the avant-garde who was trying not to laugh and Musashi and Shinano behind him, not knowing what tricks they were up to, so he just started.
"Plymouth, let's just drive."
"Understood, Commander." Plymouth, having received the instructions, released her communication device, which was her watch. After touching the screen, a virtual 2D image popped up. She then clicked "agree" and walked to the designated spot in front of the vanguard. All four ships stood in the row behind Zheng Ri, who was sitting on the sofa. For some reason, Zheng Ri felt like he had seen this place somewhere before.
"Commander, good afternoon." As soon as the video started, I could hear Enterprise's distinctive voice, her face, and the ship girls around her, although there were more Eagle Union ship girls than others.
"Good afternoon, Enterprise, Bremerton, Reno..." Masahi looked at the ship girls in front of him. Although he couldn't recognize them all at once because it was a real-life situation, as the commander, Masahi recognized them all. After all, most of the ship girls hadn't come to the last video chat.
"Hmm, Commander, but what are you doing... a special ceremony?" Enterprise was unaware that her commander and the ship girls from the other factions were doing this one after the other. Her subconscious reaction was that this might be the commander's construction ceremony. However, just because Enterprise didn't understand didn't mean the other ship girls didn't.
For example, Bremerton paused for a moment, then immediately took a picture and ran away. Reno, on the other hand, covered his blushing face with his gauntlet, looking incredulous, though his spread fingers revealed nothing. Then, in a shy tone, he said:
"Commander...you have this red mark and this...are you preparing to gather a large force for...artillery fire? Wow! Yeah, after all, you're the commander..."
"The commander can fight right in front of Miss Glorious..." Looking at the scene before him and the hickeys on the commander's neck, Reno imagined some unpleasant images. At this moment, it was just like...
"Ahem, Reno, let's put those things behind us and not dwell on them..." Before Reno could finish speaking, Enterprise coughed lightly to remind her to speak less and avoid causing trouble, and not to say anything that could be detrimental to unity. Let's look at the distant horizon first, family.
Damn it! Although the company and Reno selectively ignored it, Zheng Ri also chose to smile silently and remain expressionless, but in his heart he began to curse and prepared to teach the avant-garde a good lesson and do it to them.
You little rascal, you always manage to come up with something new.jpg
"Let's not talk about that. Is there something urgent that you called me about?"
"Yes, Commander, we need to tell you some good news. We've been able to reach you by activating the teleportation device." Zheng Ri started the conversation, and Enterprise quickly got into the mood, her face beaming with joy and her smile becoming even brighter. Vanguard and the others also smiled in unison.
"Really? I also have some good news. I'm going to allocate some sea area to build a port. It will only take less than half a month. Once you have a place to stay, you can come over. We'll be able to see each other soon." Zheng Ri said happily, clenching his fists. Upon hearing this news, both the Vanguard and Enterprise ship girls became excited.
Working together to mend a broken relationship—how pleasing that sounds!
"Commander, we all miss you, but you must not forget the people in charge of this. Without them, we would not be able to reunite." Nagato squeezed in from the side. Although she also missed the commander, as the person in charge of Sakura Empire, she had to try her best to advocate for her own people.
"Of course, but who are they? But now that you mention it, I don't have much on me right now, and I don't have anything to reward them with." Looking at the little Nagato who was acting like an adult, Masahi felt that his Sensei bloodline was about to awaken.
My heart and actions are as clear as a mirror, and all my deeds are righteous.
"You, you don't need to give any special reward. I just hope you can visit Sakura Empire when you have free time." Hearing Masahi say this, the little fox immediately became anxious. After all, the commander's promise is absolutely valid. Akashi, for the sake of Sakura Empire, we have no choice but to do this. The little fox Nagato thought to herself.
"Oh, is that all? No problem then. I was planning to visit various places, but since it's a newly built port area, the facilities aren't as complete, and it might not be able to accommodate so many people..." When Nagato mentioned this, Masahiro realized that the construction of the port had strict requirements and standards, which was a bit of a problem.
Hopefully, Luo Ya will approve my application.
"It's alright, we don't care about these things. Being by your side is enough." The little fox shook her head. Rather than living in a spacious place without a commander, Nagato chose to squeeze in next to the commander.
"Let's talk about that later. Who else is there?" He put aside the undecided matters for now. Since he said he would reward them, he would make a promise to reward them well and generously when the time came.
"Commander, what about me? I deserve all the credit! Commander, come to my room sometime, I'll design an armor set for you, I guarantee you'll love it! Hey!!" As soon as Zheng Ri mentioned this, Lino perked up and immediately came to the screen to claim credit, but he was pushed away before he could finish speaking.
"Rino, you've got a really big plan; it's all backfiring on me."
"Yes, I heard your plan at home and rushed over."
"Wait, Commander! Let me see it quickly!!"
Looking at how he was dealing with all the ship girls, Vanguard knew he had to make a quick getaway, or he'd be in big trouble if he got caught.
Chapter 58 New Port Area and the Newlywed Ship
"This is your new port area. What do you think?" After leading Zheng Ri and the others to an island, Luo Ya showed them around. Zheng Ri stared wide-eyed at the large area of buildings in front of him: the ship girl dormitory, the naval canteen, the command center, the sports field, and the signal receiving tower, along with two green belts. It would be a lie to say he was not satisfied.
"The location of the seawater purification and power equipment is in the underground equipment room. Here's the key for you. There's a network base station 30 kilometers away from your port. Remember to have your ship girls inspect and maintain it every week..." Luo Ya handed the key to Zheng Ri and explained everything to him. After she finished speaking, she had Zheng Ri sign for it on the terminal.
"I won't bother you anymore. Let's meet again sometime." After saying that, Luo Ya made up her mind to leave and insisted that Zheng Ri not see her off.
"Is something on Luo Ya's mind?" Watching the figure gradually disappear into the distance on the sea, Zheng Ri felt as if he had done something wrong.
"Commander, I don't know. Let's take a look at our new home instead!" Vanguard laughed it off. As a fellow ship girl, how could she not know what she was thinking? But unfortunately, the Commander already had Arizona, and it was not allowed for a ship with the same name to appear.
"Commander, is this my new home with everyone?" After watching Roya leave completely, Shinano regained her usual composure.
Although she was in a daze, Shinano's eyes brightened as she looked at the new place before her, knowing that she and her sisters would soon be able to live together in their new home.
“Commander, Plymouth thinks the port area is a bit too small?” Plymouth carefully examined the construction equipment and site in front of her. Compared to her original location, it was far too small, less than one-twentieth the size of the original port area.
"My little angels, this is just the starting port area. Compared to others, we are much better off here. Moreover, I applied for an expansion of the port area, otherwise it would be even smaller." Zheng Ri patted Plymouth's head. Although he didn't know how powerful his ship girls' port area was originally, judging from the current situation, it was probably a waste for them.
"Alright, you guys go choose your rooms now. I'm going to check out the surrounding area and also talk to them about the dormitory building."
"By the way, Commander, which room do you want to stay in?" Upon hearing Masaharu's question, Vanguard tentatively asked him, which attracted the attention of Plymouth and Shinano, but Musashi did not go to look.
"Well, I'm not in a hurry. I'll go choose later." Zheng Ri saw what Qian Wei was planning to do, but he wasn't in a rush. Instead, Zheng Ri touched his pocket, while the sharp-eyed Qian Wei noticed something bulging and square in Zheng Ri's pocket and immediately made a connection.
"Understood, Commander. That's all for now. Plymouth and I will go check on things inside." Vanguard glanced at Shinano and Musashi, winking at them as a reminder. Since they had agreed to help them, they should first give them some space.
"Hmm," Zheng Ri nodded, then watched as the vanguard pulled Plymouth away. Only when they were out of sight did Zheng Ri turn to look at Shinano and Musashi. Shinano seemed to have sensed something and stared straight at Zheng Ri, while Musashi seemed to be deep in thought.
"Shinano, Musashi, can you come with me to a place?" Masahi approached Musashi and Shinano, and smiled as he looked at the ship girls who were even taller than him.
After bringing the two ship girls to the seaside, Masahi looked at the distant sea, which shimmered in the sunlight, and then looked at Musashi.
"Musashi, what's wrong with you lately? You've lost your smile." Masahi came up to Musashi, took her hand, and looked at her face. Although Musashi hadn't said anything, she had been looking at him the whole time, and Masahi knew that.
"Commander, I was just wondering if I'm not attractive enough to you." Musashi looked at Masahiro, and the hand that was being held tightened its grip, as if it were completely wrapping Masahiro in its tail, leaving him no chance to break free.
"How could that be? I like you, Musashi. I just haven't had the chance. And you're all so assertive, always coming up to me. I can't even give you the ring on my own initiative, my big fox. Of course, it's mainly my fault." Unconcerned about being held tightly, Masaru changed to clasping her fingers together and touched her face, just as Musashi had treated her.
"Then why has the commander been avoiding us lately?" Musashi slowly smiled as he looked at Masaharu, who was taking the initiative to show weakness.
"I just wanted to hold on to my last bit of stubbornness, but it seems I can't hold on any longer, so I surrender, I admit defeat, and I can't live without you guys anymore. Since that's the case, then I should follow my heart. So, Musashi, are you willing to become my marriage ship?" Masahi knelt on one knee before Musashi, opened the ring box on the beach, and displayed a vow ring in front of her.
Musashi smiled gently, her eyes fixed on Masahiro. She extended her right hand and opened it. Masahiro, experienced as he was, held her hand and slowly slipped the ring onto her finger. The Oath Ring then began to shimmer with a soft light. Although the light was insignificant compared to sunlight, it would not fade as long as the one she had sworn to love was still there.
As soon as Masaru stood up, Musashi pulled him into her arms, leaned down, and whispered in his ear, "Commander, leave your anxieties, confusion, and fears to me. Just focus on what you want to see, and rely on me more. Nothing can take you away from me, nothing can leave me. So from now on, rely on me, no matter what."
"Hmm..." Masahi replied with his eyes closed, thinking he understood Musashi's thoughts, but Musashi's next words shocked him.
“Commander, since you’ve sworn an oath to me, Shinano will do the same.” Masahi was temporarily pushed forward, and then he looked at Shinano who was waiting on the side. However, Shinano didn’t speak, but instead extended her right hand to the commander, the meaning of which was very clear.
“Commander, Shinano is waiting for you. We saw the other ring in your pocket, and we are sister ships.” Musashi kissed Masahiro. Just one more step forward and the twins would be ready.
Masaharu didn't speak, but went directly to Shinano. Seeing the slight smile on her face, Masaharu knew they were waiting for him, and all he had to do was take one step forward. So Masaharu took out another oath ring that he had prepared in advance, opened it, took out the ring, and slowly put it on Shinano's ring finger. There was no need to ask anything, because Shinano had already made her stance clear. Only when the oath ring shone brightly did Shinano slowly speak.
“指
"Commander, at this moment when you place the vow ring on my finger, I recall all the beautiful memories of our time in the port. You have brought me a completely different life. From now on, I will face all the fates of the future with you, whether fortunate or unfortunate, it will all be my choice." After saying this, Shinano lowered his body and kissed Masahiro. Since Musashi had it, he should have it too.
This time, however, Shinano was very proactive, kissing for several minutes without separating. Seeing this, Musashi also moved closer, began to undress, and started spreading his tail to cover himself and Commander Shinano...
Chapter 59, The Theory of Life, has been revised.
"Shinano, please let me go!" Masaharu pleaded with Shinano, who was too weak to resist. However, before she could finish speaking, Shinano raped her and only calmed down after satisfying her.
"Commander, I am satisfied." Shinano hugged Masahiro tightly, inhaling his scent, her heart filled with contentment; her wish had been fulfilled.
"Hoo..." Masaharu was no longer able to answer Shinano. He felt that his body was about to collapse. He wanted to scold Shinano, but he didn't have the strength.
"Commander, do you need my help? Hehe." Musashi, who was behind her, rested Masaharu's head on her arm and giggled. Looking at Shinano and the Commander, Musashi felt that she had nothing more to ask for.
"No, I don't have the strength to greet them right now." This time, Masaru was smarter and didn't mention anyone's name. However, Musashi didn't care because he had already eaten the meat and finished the soup for the time being, so he wasn't going to be jealous.
"It's okay, you can lean on me, let me carry you."
"No. emmm"
Musashi gently massaged the commander's body, but it seemed she was being a bit too rough, as the commander was now unable to speak.
"Good night, Commander." Musashi kissed Masahiro's cheek and then used his materialized tail as a blanket to cover Masahiro. After all, he hadn't stopped working from noon to night, and even an ox couldn't plow the field all day.
After confirming that Shinano was indeed asleep, Musashi stared straight at Shinano, and suddenly a golden light shone in his eyes, which also lit up in Shinano.
"Musashi, shall I handle this?"
"Well, Nagato hasn't arrived yet, and the power of the spell I temporarily placed is almost exhausted. I'll have to trouble you today, and also give you the talisman Nagato gave you." After saying that, the light in Musashi's eyes faded, and at the same time, he moved the sun even further into his body, as if he wanted to hide it inside his body.
"I know, though I covet what the Commander loves, I cannot forget what I have done." With that, Shinano slowly sat up, materializing her clothes and floating away. After Shinano left, Musashi rolled over, turning Masahiro's body to lie on top of her, tightening her tail to prevent the cold wind from succeeding. Looking at his sleeping face, Musashi couldn't help but kiss him, then hugged him tightly and whispered:
"Commander, whether you care or not, we will protect you at all times and keep you by our side. Forgive our selfishness; this is not just my thought, it is everyone's thought..."
"Hmm...it's already started?" Nagato woke up from his sleep, suddenly feeling a familiar power. Although he was still groggy, his mind was gradually clearing up, and he realized that it had started and was functioning normally. A smile appeared on Nagato's face.
"Sister...Sister, why are you awake? Did something happen?" As the warmth around her gradually disappeared, Mutsu woke up as well. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw her older sister, Nagato, who was already sitting up, and asked her.
"It's nothing, Mutsu, go back to sleep. I need to get a feel for it a bit more so I can give the Commander a little Sakura Empire shock tomorrow." Nagato reached out her little hand and patted Mutsu's head. Although it wasn't a secret, it was best not to say anything now, otherwise, given Mutsu's personality, he would definitely keep asking and wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
"Why, sister? Why won't you tell me?" Unfortunately, reality was quite the opposite. As soon as Mutsu opened her mouth, Nagato began to feel a slight headache.
"I will give Shinano a talisman. If conditions permit, it can be activated. After that, I will sense the specific location and coordinates. Then we can accurately reach the Commander's side through the device and coordinates. It will also have some effect on the Commander." After thinking for a moment, Nagato explained it to Mutsu in detail. Moreover, given Mutsu's big mouth, he would definitely tell others. It would be good to pass on this message and hope that the Commander would stay in Sakura Empire for a longer period of time.
"Sister, why does it work on the Commander? I don't understand." Mutsu grabbed a key point, which made Nagato frown, but she still chose to explain.
"Hmm...I don't want the commander to leave either."
