After preventing the world from being destroyed, the ship girls started acting strangely.

Seeing that You Ran agreed, Sheffield was secretly pleased, though he didn't show any outward reaction. "Then everyone should go back first. Let's stop here for today and meet here again at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Ah."

"understood."

See you all tomorrow morning!

.........

"Master's gone, Vivi, what are you still grinning about? I thought you were going to take the Commander to Sardinia tonight."

After You Ran and Sheffield left, Littorio, who was also on his way home, looked at Veneto, who seemed to be lost in thought. Littorio, who was already curious about what had happened between Veneto and the commander in the bathroom, took the initiative to ask.

"Eh, is it that obvious?" After Littorio said that, Veneto couldn't help but touch his slightly flushed cheeks.

Littorio nodded: "Yes, obviously, the corners of his mouth are almost curving up to his nose."

"It's not as exaggerated as you say. I just felt that today's maid experience was surprisingly good."

That's true.

It has to be said that the experience of being a maid with a commander is completely different from that of being a maid without a commander. Looking back on the time spent with the commander this afternoon, Littorio also felt a little nostalgic.

"Wait! I just realized, Vivi, where did your stockings go?" Littorio exclaimed in shock, having not noticed before while kicking pebbles.

Good grief, they're going all in?!

"Well, I... I already said I would change it if it got wet with tea."

Mentioning this, Veneto suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Not to mention stockings, even the last piece of fabric underneath had been confiscated by the commander. Now, it felt cool and refreshing under her skirt, and the wind blowing through it was a completely new experience for Veneto.

Recalling the words the commander had said to her when they parted, Veneto felt even more ashamed.

Chapter 175 If it weren't for the Sage state, the world would have been destroyed long ago.

It was already quite late when they left the Royal Family. Considering that the Royal Family might have already woken up, You Ran chatted with Xie Fei along the way, but they didn't linger much. Before long, they arrived at the port area through the portal.

As expected, when he arrived home, he had just opened the door to find Royal Wealth and Da Feng staring at each other in the living room, seemingly doing nothing.

After saying goodbye to Sheffield, she asked carefully and learned that this afternoon, when Daifeng saw that Royal Fortune had woken up and was not there, she wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Royal Fortune. However, Daifeng originally thought that this matter would be easy to achieve, but who knew that Royal Fortune was no longer the timid Royal Fortune before, but a Royal Fortune that dared to stand up to her.

Ultimately, Royal Fortune was afraid that the Commander didn't like her. And ever since she and the Commander had played that kind of intimate play that only lovers could do in the study, Royal Fortune now naturally had the confidence to confront Taihou.

After understanding the whole story, You Ran didn't hesitate to give Da Feng's pert buttocks a big hard thrust, creating layers of waves.

"Didn't I tell you before I left that I wouldn't let you disturb the royal treasures?" You Ran said, feigning anger.

Seeing that the commander had taken charge of things for her, Royal Fortune immediately ran over and snuggled up behind You Ran, complaining, "Waaah~ Commander, you have no idea how much Taihou bullies ship girls. I was a little hungry after I woke up, and Taihou wouldn't let me get out to get something to eat from the refrigerator. She just kept telling me to leave. But when I asked her where she was, she wouldn't tell me. Commander, if you had come any later, Taihou would have pulled out a bomber to kick me out."

"But, Commander, you said not to disturb Royal Fortune's rest, but since she's already awake, it can't be called resting anymore... And I was worried that Royal Fortune would disturb your rest at night, so I thought of sending her away." Taihou explained somewhat aggrievedly, rubbing her buttocks.

"Stop trying to deny it. Tonight you'll be sleeping in the study."

"No, Commander! If I go to the study, who will warm your bed? Taihou is sorry, okay? It won't happen again. Taihou really knows she was wrong." Ignoring the pain in her bottom, Taihou immediately stepped forward and hugged Youran's arm to admit her mistake.

Not being able to sleep with the Commander at night is bearable, but the thought that this would give the Royal Family an opportunity to exploit is something Taihou absolutely cannot accept.

Taihou realized it, and Royal Fortune naturally realized it too. Thinking that this was a good opportunity to monopolize the Commander, Royal Fortune immediately stepped forward and hugged You Ran's other arm: "Commander, don't listen to Taihou. She just knows she's wrong, but she doesn't really repent at all. She should be punished properly. As for warming the bed, I can do that too, and I promise I'll do it better than Taihou!"

"What?!" Taihou immediately flew into a rage. "Have you ever warmed the Commander's bed before? You guarantee you can do it better than me? Do you think warming a bed is easy? You talk like you just lie down next to someone?! What arrogance!"

"I can learn if I don't know how. It's not difficult. I'll be better than you someday. Besides, I'm not jealous. I don't mind how many sisters the Commander sleeps with."

As he spoke, Royal Wealth shook You Ran's arm.

"Commander, Commander~ How about it? Should I call Celeste over too, and Golden Deer, Gary... If you want, Vida is fine too. Apart from Saint Martin being a little difficult to deal with, I know the others very well. As long as you want, Commander, I can call our entire Hurricane faction over to keep you company without any problem."

"I, I... Hmph! Commander, you're not that kind of person. Royal Fortune, stop making trouble here."

Taihou originally wanted to mention the ship girls she could call, but after thinking it over, she realized that she didn't seem to have a single ship girl she was close to in the port. Moreover, she was reluctant to share the commander with them, so in the end, she could only bite the bullet and refute.

"Alright, alright, if you keep arguing like this, I'm going to sleep in the command room. I'll come back when you've come to a conclusion."

You Ran thought that Cheshire and New Jersey arguing would be bad enough, but who knew that Taiho and Royal Fortune were just as fierce. You Ran was also a bit of a headache.

"No!" Royal Fortune and Taiho shouted in unison, their thoughts surprisingly aligned on this matter.

"Are you still arguing?" You Ran continued to ask.

"Stop arguing, stop arguing." Royal Wealth quickly shook its head, shrinking back.

"Where's Dafeng?"

"Taihou obeys Commander's orders..."

Although she was very reluctant, Da Feng still made her promise.

"Alright, you said it yourselves. If I see you arguing again, I'm going back to the command room to sleep."

"No, Commander, it's getting late. Let me help you undress and take a bath."

"Take a bath? I want to too!"

Just those two simple words were enough to make Royal Wealth's mind wander. After all, she had been manipulated by the Commander all afternoon and hadn't had a chance to properly examine his body. Now that she had this opportunity, she naturally wouldn't let it slip by. Wiping her mouth, Royal Wealth immediately raised her hand and eagerly volunteered.

"You," Daifeng was already angry when she heard Royal Fortune speak. She wanted to refuse, but when she remembered You Ran's words, she could only bite the bullet and change her words: "Then what are you standing there for? Hurry up and go make hot water for the Commander!"

"Great! I'm going right now!"

……

……

The next morning, as usual, You Ran woke up at the crack of dawn. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the Royal Wealth and the Great Phoenix, who were holding him tightly on either side like octopuses. You Ran felt a little helpless.

After a while, just as You Ran was carefully preparing to slip away, Da Feng, who had gradually gotten used to You Ran's routine, also woke up. Seeing that You Ran was awake, Da Feng immediately pressed down on her with her softness.

"Hmm~ Commander~ It's still early, why don't you sleep a little longer..." As she spoke, Daihou hugged You Ran even tighter, and then buried her head in You Ran's arms.

“Yes, Commander~ You’ve finished all your work, now it’s time to enjoy yourself. Get up later…” On the other side, Royal Fortune, still a little sleepy, murmured as she was hugged over.

They were like little devils, and their coquettishness was irresistible. You Ran couldn't refuse them even if she wanted to.

"Honestly, it's a good thing I was in a state of enlightenment before, otherwise, if you guys were sticking to me like this every day, the world would have been destroyed long ago."

Seeing this, after lying down again, he held the royal treasure and the great phoenix drum close to his arms again, and then sighed and couldn't help but sigh.

Chapter 176 Hood Reunited

You Ran slept soundly during her nap until it was almost time for her regular workday. She then got up, ate breakfast, gave a few instructions to Royal Wealth and Da Feng, and finally headed out to the command center.

As soon as she entered, You Ran saw a ship girl with long golden hair and blue eyes sitting in her seat, holding a cup of black tea and reading a book.

"Hood?" Recognizing the royal lady at a glance, You Ran was also somewhat surprised: "Are you on duty as the secretary ship today?"

I had asked Belfast for a list of secretary ships before, and You Ran clearly remembered that Hood wasn't on the list of secretary ships recently.

"Hmm... well, it is and it isn't~" Seeing You Ran come in, a hint of surprise flashed in Hu De's eyes, then he chuckled and put down his teacup, giving a cryptic answer.

"How so?" After taking another cup from the side, she hesitated for a moment before pouring herself a glass of water and asked You Ran.

"Because she was actually on duty today, but something came up, so I switched shifts with her."

Hood offered a brief explanation.

In fact, she was the one who initiated this whole thing. After all, although there were things going on at Reputation, they were just routine coastal patrols and nothing too important, so it wouldn't be a big deal if she just asked for leave.

But ever since the last tea party, after learning that the Commander was indeed no longer as rigid as everyone said, Hood has not slept well for the past two nights. Every time she closes her eyes, all she can see in her mind is the smile the Commander gave her at the tea party.

So when Hu De heard Reputation bring up this matter during a casual chat, he couldn't help but offer to switch shifts.

Reputation was probably unaware of what had happened recently, so he agreed without saying anything. In the end, Reputation even thanked her, which made Hood feel extremely ashamed.

Although she felt a little bad about her reputation, there was nothing she could do. It would be more than two months before she became the secretary ship. Although the commander had promised her that she could contact him if Abercrombie caused trouble again, it felt a bit far-fetched to bother the commander with such a small matter. Besides, she didn't know when Abercrombie would cause trouble. So, although this was not very ladylike and even a bit despicable, there was nothing she could do. She just couldn't wait any longer.

"Oh, so that's it."

"Is that so?" he said, adding that he hadn't misremembered.

"Then, Commander, could you tell me your specific arrangements for today? I'd like to prepare in advance." The restlessness in his heart gradually subsided after seeing You, and Hu De stood up and asked.

"What do you think of today's arrangements... Hood?"

"Commander, you're asking about...me?"

Hu De clearly hadn't expected You Ran to say that.

"Hmm." You Ran nodded with a smile. "Didn't I already tell you, Hu De, that I'm not that busy right now? No, I should say I'm a bit idle. So, Hu De, is there anywhere you'd like me to go with you?"

"this......"

She had expected the Commander to have more free time, but she hadn't expected it to be this much. However, this was actually a good thing, since if that was the case, she and the Commander would have even more time to spend alone in private, or in other words, it could already be considered a date.

Thinking of this, a blush crept across Hu De's face.

But where should we go for fun...?

The command room was getting a bit too boring. It was winter at the beach, so it wasn't really suitable. As for the tea ceremony, I heard the commander had already had his fill yesterday. Most of the other entertainment options were still available from other ship girls.

So what kind of activities offer the chance to be alone with the Commander, ideally with close interaction, and are also fun...?

Hood fell into deep thought.

However, soon, as she held her teacup, Hu De's eyes lit up, and she suddenly thought of a project that might be able to meet all her requirements.

"By the way, Commander, are you interested in horseback riding?"

Hu De looked at You Ran with anticipation and asked.

"Riding a horse?" You Ran was taken aback. "I didn't expect you to know how to do that, Hu De. That's amazing."

"Riding a horse is merely a matter of etiquette for a royal lady, nothing to boast about. In fact, it is your actions, Commander, that truly deserve the title of 'remarkable'."

"Since I am the commander, those are all my duties, nothing special. By the way, did you raise the horse yourself, Hood? Or does the Royal Family have a horse farm?"

You Ran actually became a little interested.
