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

"Any questions?"

As a knight, one needs a strong body, and now is the time when he is growing, so Little Renown eats well every day.

"That won't do, because it's not fair. You're fighting me on a full stomach, but I'm on an empty stomach. If you want to win fair and square, Little Renown, you have to let me eat my fill too."

Abercrombie revealed her ultimate goal.

"Well... alright then, but you can't back out now, Abercrombie. A knight who deserts in the face of battle is a disgrace."

Without thinking too much about it, the naive young Renown simply handed the bento box to Abercrombie and began to look forward to the upcoming duel.

Unbeknownst to the two, on the other side of the classroom near the door, Hiei, who had been startled by Abercrombie's earlier slamming of the table, was also alarmed when he heard that Nobunaga and Abercrombie were about to fight. After carefully putting away his lunchbox, he immediately and quietly slipped out of the classroom. As soon as he left the classroom, Hiei ran wildly towards the office.

"Oh no! Oh no! Abercrombie and Little Renown are about to fight!"

……

"They're fighting?! Where? Take me there quickly."

Inside the office, Z23 was startled by what Kohie said. Without asking any questions, she put down her work and asked Kohie to take her directly to the scene of the incident.

When Z23 and Hiei arrived at the classroom, Abercrombie and Nobunaga, who had just finished eating, were standing on either side of the teacher's platform, each holding a weapon and ready to fight.

"Stop everyone!"

Seeing that the two hadn't started fighting yet, z23 breathed a sigh of relief and immediately roared.

"Teacher Z, Z23?!"

After eating and drinking to her heart's content, Abercrombie stretched her limbs and was about to surrender when Little Renown rushed over, but she was startled by the sudden appearance of Z23.

Abercrombie almost instinctively tried to run away, but how could a battlecruiser outrun a destroyer, not to mention that Z23 was on guard? In no time, Z23 grabbed Abercrombie by the back of his neck and dragged him back.

“Little Renown, you come to my office too,” z23 said angrily.

……

Chapter 181 So, Royal Ark, whose child are you the parent of?

Parents' Group (1(3))

z23: "@All members, Abercrombie and Little Prestige have violated school rules and regulations by arranging a fight in private. This is a public reprimand. Parents of Abercrombie and Little Prestige are requested to come to the school before dismissal this afternoon."

Benson, the eldest sister: "Phew~ You scared me! I thought it was Hobby or Kork who caused me trouble again."

Spee's parent (Germany): "This is all because of your poor discipline. Look at our Spee, he has never caused me any trouble all year round, he is very obedient."

Benson: "You only have one sister to take care of, but I have so many sisters to take care of. How can I possibly manage them all? Besides, Hobby and Kork are naturally mischievous. They even dare to tease me. I simply can't control them, okay?"

Germany: "While only the weak make excuses, Benson, what you said makes sense. After all, our little Spee is just naturally adorable."

Benson: "??"

Eugen's parent (Prince Eugen): "@I'm really not Abercrombie's mother! Your child has gotten into trouble again, hurry up and go check on him."

Nelson: "..."

Nelson: "So I've said it so many times, I'm not that child's parent. Why do you guys keep tagging me? Seriously."

Prince Eugen: "But people call you Mother Nelson, if you don't go, who will?"

Nelson: "I, oh, I know, I know, stop talking, I'll go over now, okay? Sigh, this kid is driving me crazy every day."

z23: "@LittleRingParent, are you busy? Why haven't you replied to my message for so long?"

Royal Ark: "As for reputation, I think there are patrol missions this week, so I probably won't have time to check my phone right now."

Hiei's parent (Kongo): "Oh, come to think of it, I do remember seeing Renown at the beach this morning."

Royal Ark: "I told you I wouldn't make a mistake."

Prince Eugen: "Wait a minute, your name sounds so familiar...?"

King Kong: "I think I've noticed that too."

Benson: "+1"

Royal Ark: "Is there a problem? I've always used this username, I haven't changed it, it's normal that you recognize it."

Prince Eugen: "..."

Prince Eugen: "Guess what kind of group this is."

Royal Ark: "Parents' group, is there a problem?"

z23: "@Guardian of the best exorcist sister, then may I ask this 'parent,' which child are you in charge of??"

(I was wondering why everyone's reaction was so strong, but how did Royal Ark even get into the group?!)

Royal Ark: "Uh, well, ahaha, um, sorry, I think I joined the wrong group. Um, it's okay, you guys chat first, haha, I'll be going now."

z23: "@Guardian of the best exterminator sister, if you don't explain this clearly, then I'll have no choice but to call the military police to conduct a forced investigation!"

Royal Ark: "No! No... Um, to be honest, I really just joined this group by accident, I didn't mean anything else at all."

z23: "Do you think I'd believe your nonsense? Hurry up! Confess and you'll be treated leniently, resist and you'll be punished severely! Tell me! What's your purpose in infiltrating this group! If you don't tell the truth right now, I'll kick you out of the group and call the military police!"

Royal Ark: "I'll talk! I'll talk, okay? The reason I joined is because I overheard that the parents' group often posts photos of the girls being expelled from class and other daily life photos. That's why I joined, really! I have no ill intentions whatsoever, and I can help out if needed, so please don't kick me out! Please! The checks outside are really strict lately, and I really need to stay in this group!"

......

......

"That's why I said, Hood, you can do magic, right? Now that you've switched back, who would be able to tell that you're as big as before?"

On the grassland, You Ran looked at Hu De, who had just changed his clothes and was now standing on a flat plain, and couldn't help but say something.

"Commander, how dare you say that? If it weren't for you insisting on doing it that way, I wouldn't have had to change into my ship uniform. There's no reason to ride a horse while wearing a skirt. If other people saw this, they would laugh at me to death. When I have time someday, I will definitely emphasize the etiquette between you and the ladies to you."

Just recalling her absurd behavior made Hood blush. She didn't know what she was thinking, letting the commander do whatever he wanted. She felt like she was the only one in the port area to have blood on horseback.

"I'm the one riding now, not Hood, and there's no one else here. We're almost at the stables, so no one will see us, uh..."

Before You Ran could finish speaking, she suddenly heard a ship girl's voice coming from the stables not far ahead, so she didn't have the heart to finish her sentence.

Seeing this, Hu De blushed and glared at You Ran before carefully stepping into the stirrups and slowly dismounting.

After all, most of her body had been overdone by You Ran, and her legs were still a bit weak, so Hood couldn't be careless. Although deploying her ship equipment would completely eliminate this state, it was her first time, and Hood wanted to experience it slowly on her own.

"Do you want me to carry you?"

Noticing Hu De's discomfort, You Ran dismounted and loosened the reins, patted the horse's back to indicate that it should go play by itself, and then went up to Hu De and put her arm around its slender waist to ask.

"Commander, stop messing around."

Hu De blushed again at You Ran's suggestion. She quickened her pace slightly, recalling the rumor that the Commander couldn't be satisfied without three ship girls together. Hu De was afraid that the Commander might suddenly decide to do something else, since she really couldn't take any more trouble now.

After deliberately quickening his pace, he soon arrived at the stables and immediately recognized the cygnets inside. Hood greeted them, "Cygnets, are you feeding the child today too?"

Upon hearing Hud's voice, the little swan, who was feeding the horses in the stable, turned around in surprise.

"Ah, it's Miss Hood. You're here today too... oh,"

She had only spoken half a sentence when Little Swan, realizing that she wasn't alone, stared at the familiar figure not far away and froze on the spot. The next second, Little Swan's voice echoed throughout the entire stable.

"Eh?! E ...

The fish and chips she was holding instantly spilled all over the ground. Somewhat flustered, Little Swan performed a series of falls, sitting on the ground. The expression on Little Swan's face when she looked at You Ran seemed even more shocked than if she had encountered one of the ten most impossible events in the port area.

Chapter 182 Little Fat Goose

Am I really that scary...?

Seeing the little swan's panicked state, You Ran helplessly reached out her hand.

"No, no, I was just too surprised to see the Commander here."

With a slightly flushed face, Little Swan took You Ran's outstretched hand and stood up, feeling a bit confused.

Little Swan couldn't remember exactly when she last met the Commander; it seemed to be a month or two ago.

She couldn't remember the exact time. Little Swan only remembered that the last time she saw the Commander was during the final battle in which all the ship girls and sirens in the entire port were mobilized. She had seen the Commander from afar, and after that, the Commander had stayed in the command room and hadn't come out.

Although she often heard news about the Commander online and from other people, Little Swan always found nothing when she went there. But what Little Swan didn't expect was that she would actually meet the Commander in this place where hardly anyone comes, which is why Little Swan was so surprised.

"But speaking of which, Commander, why are you and Miss Hood here?"

After the initial surprise came excitement and curiosity, and the little swan couldn't help but step forward and ask.

"Hood told me there was a horse here that was very fat, so I came over to take a look out of curiosity."

Although he had seen it before, now that he saw it up close, You Ran had to admit that the horse had been really fattened up by the little swans.

"There's...there's a horse that's been fattened up...? Commander, you're not talking about French fries, are you?"

Hearing You Ran's words, Little Swan was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized that there were only a few horses in the stable, and the only one that could be associated with the word "fat" was the one she raised.

"Is it called French fries? Yes, it's really good."

Looking at the chubby little horse eating the fries that Little Swan had just spilled on the ground, You Ran looked him up and down for a moment, then nodded with great satisfaction.

Upon seeing this, Little Swan, realizing what was happening, was startled: "Commander, you wouldn't be going to...?"

"Yes, of course, little swan, isn't that what you think too?"

Seeing the little swan, he couldn't help but want to tease it a little, and You Ran deliberately steered the conversation in the direction the little swan was thinking.

"No, no, Commander! French fries aren't fat! They're just not fully grown yet! They won't look like this when they grow up. And Commander, don't be fooled by their fatness, they're not tasty at all!" the little swan cried out in despair.

"Hey? Little Swan, isn't that what you really thought? Otherwise, why would you name it after a food?"

"No, I didn't! I named my fries 'French Fries' just because I like eating them, not because..."

As she was talking, she suddenly realized something was wrong and quickly covered her mouth, realizing that what she said was ambiguous. "Commander, don't misunderstand. That's not what I meant. I meant that I named it that because I like fries, not that I like eating fries, so... uh, anyway, it's not what you think, Commander."

Little Swan was already rambling a bit incoherently.

"Alright, alright, I won't fight you for it, Little Swan."

"I really didn't mean that!" The little swan was so anxious she almost cried.

"Alright, little swan, don't overthink it. The commander was just teasing you. We just came here to ride the horses for a bit."

Although it's unclear whether the Commander simply wanted to bully Little Swan or said that to prevent her from being exposed for wearing a skirt while riding a horse, it's evident that Little Swan was being bullied by the Commander so pitifully that Hood still took the initiative to step forward and speak.
