I'll kill you after I finish this game!

Rezhe looked at Raffi with doting eyes, as if he were treating Raffi as his own daughter, and spoke to Raffi with a smile.

The adorable life she created herself held extraordinary significance for Reiji. In addition to treating Laffey as a fighting partner, she was also considered a close friend, almost on par with her own Nep.

Upon hearing that Rezhe had so thoughtfully arranged a birthday party for her, Little Raffi's eyes were filled with joy and affection for Rezhe. She buried her adorable little face in Rezhe's chest again and let out a sweet, coquettish voice.

"Laffey...likes the Commander..."

It's a pure and simple liking. I've liked and wanted to be close to you since I was born. Then, through the spiritual network, the other person's heartfelt affection made Raffi reciprocate with Reiji. Now, she completely regards Reiji as someone she cherishes.

Raffi is a newborn girl and doesn't really understand things like love. As a little girl, she's just expressing her emotions directly.

Rezhe's straightforward actions and undisguised affection within the spiritual network also won him the sincere feelings of Raffi, a girl who could accurately understand his heart and emotions.

"Lafite, let's go change your clothes first. We can't just wear such formal and beautiful clothes casually."

Rezhe looked down at the little Raffi who was acting coquettishly towards him, admired the perfectly fitting vow wedding dress on her, and spoke softly.

Little Raffi looked down at her gorgeous and elegant attire, and was very happy with Razor's praise. She could tell that Razor liked her wearing the clothes.

“Commander, there’s no need for that. Laffey can do it this way.”

Little Raffi took a slight step back, and then the gorgeous and dignified vow wedding dress on her body transformed into energy light and merged into her petite body.

Just like Haruna transforming into a magical girl, except for Little Raffi's head, everything below her slender neck was enveloped in a layer of energy radiance, which Reiji could recognize as energy from the Mind Cube.

After the energy radiance dissipated into starlight on Raffi's petite body, Raffi's clothes returned to their original, familiar appearance.

In battle mode, Laffey will enter Laffey Kai form, and can freely transform according to his own will.

"Just as cute and pretty."

After transforming and changing his appearance, Little Raffi stepped forward and took Rei Zhe's big hand. Rei Zhe smiled and patted Little Raffi's head, then praised him. Little Raffi squinted his eyes and enjoyed the comfortable pat on his head.

As they led Laffey to the celebratory reception room prepared inside the naval base, the little chicks along the way chattered excitedly whenever they saw her. For the chicks, ship girls were people they wanted to be close to.

The first ship girl appeared inside the naval base, how could the little bastards not be excited?

Little Raffi also really likes Manjuu. He's holding one in his arms right now, with a whole bunch of Manjuu following behind him.

Lei Zhe just smiled at this scene. Since they liked it so much, it would be a good opportunity for the Manjuu to celebrate Little Lafi's birthday together.

........

He temporarily retrieved all the shadow clones from the block world, and a large amount of fatigue returned to his body, leaving Razer feeling only slightly tired.

In the specially built hall of the naval base, a round table was filled with delicacies made from fantasy ingredients. Knowing that Lafite liked to drink, Reiji also brought out some wines made from fantasy ingredients for Lafite to serve on the table.

Laffey was enjoying the delicious food prepared for her by her commander. Several barbarian chicks were acting like waiters, bringing her whatever dish she wanted and pouring her drinks.

Lei Zhe is serving food to the little chicks. The little guys are eating and drinking well and have gained a lot of weight. They look round and cute.

Little Lafite has a really high alcohol tolerance. He drank several bottles of the special wine without showing any signs of drunkenness, except that his little face looked rosy.

"Commander, eat too." Little Laffey, who was eating and drinking heartily, would also put food and meat on Rezhe's plate, or personally pick up chopsticks and feed Rezhe.

Rezhe took a bite, chewed it, and swallowed it. Sitting next to Raffi, he gently wiped the food stains off Raffi's face with a napkin, like a parent concerned for their child.

Lafite quickly finished all the food and drinks on the table, and now the little chicks are cleaning up the mess.

After a satisfying meal, Little Lafite patted his flat belly, then blinked his little eyes at Reizhe and asked:

"Commander, is there anything Laffey can do for you next? Laffey is very strong, you know!"

The little guy was already eager to serve his commander. Seeing Laffey raise her little pink fist to show how great she was, Reiji just smiled gently.

There will be times when I fight alongside Laffey. Since there's nothing to fight for now, we can test Laffey's actual combat abilities first.

Reiji was eager to see the strength of his ship girl, so he directly said to Little Laffey:

"There's no mission for you right now. You're my first ship girl, so can I, the Commander, see what little Laffey is capable of?"

"Uh...ok."

Little Laffey accepted her commander's suggestion and was very happy to be Raiji's first ship girl.

If other sisters or compatriots appear in the future, I will be the leader.

Razer also brought Raffi to the large training ground built by the Manjuu. Little Raffi was very curious about the square shapes in the sky along the way.

He explained to little Raffi that he was in a small world, and Raffi nodded his little head in understanding. It was unclear whether the little guy understood.

The training ground where the two were now was even more spacious than a typical football field for official matches. Raffi looked around curiously, wondering how the commander would test her strength.

Rezer himself would watch Laffey fight from the sidelines, judging Laffey's strength by his own eyes. As for what he would use to test Laffey? That would naturally not be him.

If they were to fight him, Little Laffey would definitely hold back for fear of hurting Reiji, so Reiji prepared a creature with some strength to test his ship girl.

P.S.: Please vote and recommend. Regarding Laffey's combat power, this is why Reiji hasn't directly created any ship girls. Laffey also underwent two modifications during her construction.

Regarding the affection level of designated ship girls, it's not the kind of love that starts out. I don't like creations whose will is predetermined from the beginning. It feels like that's distorting the ship girl's mind. Laffey at the beginning isn't like a stranger to Reiji that other ship girls are, but rather someone who is very close to her.

Of course, characters like Taihou and Akagi are an exception...

Chapter 93 Raffi vs. the Demon Serpent

"That's it!"

Reiji raised his hand and waved to the screen displaying Manju. Upon seeing Reiji's signal, the little Manju on the screen immediately nodded and stretched out its little wings to press a few buttons on the control panel.

Wow...

In the distance, a massive vibranium gate slowly rose, revealing a huge, dark tunnel inside. Dense laser nets filled the tunnel, as if guarding against something escaping.

boom! boom! boom!

A tremendous roar came from the tunnel, and the laser nets were all dismantled. Reiji and Raffi could feel the vibrations beneath their feet.

"Ok?"

Raffi's lazy expression vanished, replaced by a blank stare into the depths of the dark tunnel. An invisible radar wave emanated from her, and she could sense that a creature with a strong life force was about to emerge.

It seems the commander intends to test this in actual combat.

Laffey's petite body and the flash of light around her instantly materialized into ship equipment different from that in the game. The cannons on both sides of her body had a high-tech feel, and her outfit also changed to resemble Laffey Custom.

"Roar--!"

A huge and strange roar came, and a ferocious snake, more than twenty meters long, with three huge eyes arranged in an equilateral triangle on its head and four hideous claws on its thick body, emerged from the tunnel.

Those three enormous eyes were filled with bestiality and savagery, and the moment they appeared, they locked onto the two tiny creatures in front of them.

This creature is also a fantasy food creature, called the Demon Serpent.

It was also a variety restored in the Reiji Regeneration Room. After being fed and cared for well, it quickly grew into this huge shape.

In the original world of the Demon Serpent, the strength of this monster varied greatly depending on its habitat.

The human world's Demon Serpent has a capture level of only 21, while the original Demon Serpent in the Gourmet World has a capture level as high as 5100.

They use infrared sensors to detect prey by sensing heat, enabling them to accurately hit their prey's deadly venom.

Moreover, even if it is injured, the Demon Serpent can immediately generate pluripotent cells to regenerate its body instantly. Therefore, when capturing it, one must possess the power to destroy its pluripotent cells and a highly technical impact force.

This is the guy that Reiji was going to use to test Laffey's strength. He originally wanted to use the Silverback Four-Armed Giant Ape to test Laffey, but after feeling Laffey's power up close, the Silverback Four-Armed Giant Ape might not be enough.

"Raffi, this demonic serpent is your opponent. Go and defeat it. I have already transmitted relevant information to you through the mental network."

With a blank expression, Rezhe pointed to the roaring demon serpent rushing towards them and said directly to Raffi, "I have already transmitted all the information about the demon serpent to Raffi through exploring the mental network."

A glint of light flashed in Little Raffi's crimson eyes, and he no longer felt any curiosity about the ugly demonic serpent in front of him.

"Self-restriction lifted!"

The soft, lazy tone vanished, and Raffi murmured in a cool voice.

Then, blue energy patterns lit up on Little Raffi's combat boots, and patterns resembling the magic circuits of the Type-Moon spread across the white covering her slender legs. With a slight bow, she instantly entered an invisible high-speed state.

"lb!"

A deafening roar resounded, and Little Raffi, who had disappeared beside Rezhe, suddenly reappeared beneath the jaws of the roaring, gaping demon serpent, delivering an uppercut to its chin.

With its high-speed movement and impact, combined with Raffi's own mass, this little pink fist struck the demon serpent's chin, causing it to snap its mouth shut.

No, it was more like the jaws slamming into the mouth; even the serpent's fangs were shattered by the immense force.

call!

The powerful gust of wind generated by Raffi's punch reached Rez, who was watching from the farthest distance. His dark, tousled hair was slightly blown upwards, showing just how powerful the punch was.

"Ow!!!!"

The demonic serpent, whose head suddenly slammed upwards, was not stunned by the enormous impact. Instead, it was aroused by its ferocity and rage. After roaring, the sound waves it emitted caused a small tremor in the solid training ground.

The Demon Serpent's omnipotent cellular repair capabilities and resilience are unmatched by ordinary creatures. Only the most effective microscopic attacks can inflict damage on the Demon Serpent. Reiji used it to test Laffey, taking into account the terrifying mass of the ship girl compressed into the body of a young girl.

At least this demonic serpent wasn't knocked out by Raffi's monstrous strength right away.

Little Raffi remained expressionless and showed no discomfort despite the other party's loud shouting.

Suddenly, the demon serpent's three eyes stared fiercely at the little one beneath it, and its claws seemed to extend, suddenly reaching out to grab Raffi.

"boom!"

Raffi easily dodged and was not caught; the demonic serpent's claws shattered and tore the earth apart.

That wasn't all. The wildly dancing sideburns on the demon serpent's head suddenly transformed into syringe-like structures, and dense green corrosive venom was shot out like bullets.

Having information about the Demon Serpent, Raffi didn't take the venom seriously. His boots suddenly generated an anti-gravity field, and his high-speed figure broke through the limitations of gravity, easily dodging the venom attacks.

hiss hiss hiss hiss~~~

The earth was eroded into huge pits; if these hit a person, they would be reduced to nothing but bones.

In an instant, Raffi appeared behind the demon serpent, clenching his small fists, and fired his twin cannons directly at the demon serpent's head.

Boom——

An explosion rang out; it was unclear what kind of shell Raffi used, but the resulting blast and intense heatwave turned the ground into lava.

Accompanied by the ferocious screams of the demonic serpent, surrounded by heat sources, several sensors on its face were unable to detect Raffi's exact location and immediately began spraying venom in all directions.

Phew! !

Two more blue beams pierced the demon serpent's claws, but thanks to the self-healing ability of its omnipotent cells, they recovered in almost a second.

The demon serpent also possessed a sensitivity beyond its physical size. Without using any sensory organs, its three enormous, bloodshot eyes searched back and forth for Raffi's rapidly moving figure.
