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

"I...I understand." Abercrombie nodded his little head, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"Good boy~" You Ran smiled and patted Abercrombie's little head, then turned her gaze to the side and looked very seriously, "As for Hood and the other three, put your hands out."

"Reach out? Why are you reaching out?" z23 asked, somewhat puzzled, as he slowly extended his hand in front of You Ran.

“What do you say? The Abercrombie matter is resolved, but the fact that you lied to me to protect Abercrombie is not yet resolved. As punishment, each of you will receive ten slaps on the hand.”

As soon as You Ran finished speaking, Hu De and Nelson immediately understood the commander's meaning and extended their hands as well.

If just two slaps on the hand could turn Abercrombie into a good boy, then let alone ten slaps, even a hundred would do.

Looking at the various slender hands in front of him, You Ran took the ruler from the desk next to him while holding it in his right hand. He originally thought he would just hit it a couple of times and be done with it. But just as he was about to swing it down, Abeclon suddenly stepped forward and shielded him with his body.

"Commander, could you please not punish Nelson's mother and the others? Punish me instead," Abercrombie said, his voice trembling.

Although he was startled by the commander's stern appearance, Abercrombie felt extremely distressed when he thought about how Nelson's mother and the other two had been beaten because of him. With tears in his eyes, Abercrombie spoke up.

Hearing Abercrombie's words, Hood and the other two smiled. It was the first time they had ever thought that Abercrombie could be so cute.

"No, these few slaps are the necessary punishment for a ship girl who loves to lie." You Ran played the bad cop.

"Yes, but..."

Abercrombie tried to persuade him again, but Hood held him in her arms.

"Alright, it's alright, it's just a few slaps on the hand. This is the punishment we deserve, and it's worth it for Abercrombie."

Hood's perception of Abercrombie as a brat had changed considerably. He gently patted Abercrombie's head and said this.

Nelson and Z23 stood aside, watching Abercrombie with great satisfaction, feeling as if their own child had finally grown up.

"Waaah~! Commander, please don't hit Nelson's mother's hands, okay? If you're going to hit someone, hit their butts instead! At least it doesn't hurt as much as their hands."

???

Upon hearing Abercrombie's words, the smiles on Nelson and his two companions instantly froze on their faces.

"Uh, Abercrombie than you... are you sure?"

You Ran originally thought he would never budge on this final step, but who knew that Abercrombie would suddenly make a completely unexpected proposal, leaving him with no choice but to agree.

........

Chapter 190 z23: Should we shout it out then...?

"No! Commander, Abercrombie is joking. Just slap my hand, don't listen to her nonsense."

Nelson was getting anxious; she couldn't accept being spanked by the commander in public.

"No! Spanking is fine! Listen to me, Nelson's mom, there's a lot of flesh on your butt, so it won't hurt that much. You've spanked me so many times before, and even though I screamed a lot, it didn't actually hurt at all."

Nelson was anxious, and so was Abercrombie. Although she had never experienced being slapped on the hand, just thinking about it hurt. In comparison, being spanked was much more bearable.

"I"

Nelson was speechless for a moment. It didn't hurt? That's because she hadn't hit hard at all. Nelson suddenly regretted that she had gone easy on him.

"Waaah~ Mom Nelson, please listen to me, hitting your palm really hurts."

Nelson wanted to try to persuade her again, but before he could open his mouth, Abercrombie grabbed him and hugged him tightly, sobbing. Nelson didn't know what to say and could only keep gesturing to Hood and Z23 beside him, signaling them to try to persuade her as well.

Seeing this, Z23 naturally understood Nelson's meaning, but upon closer reflection, it was ultimately the Commander's decision. There was no point in Abercrombie saying anything more; as long as the Commander didn't agree, that was fine. And the Commander's attitude had already been quite clear; he probably wouldn't agree to Abercrombie's request, so she had nothing to worry about.

Thinking of this, z23 breathed a sigh of relief. After all, being spanked in public is quite embarrassing, especially in front of her own students. If she were to actually be spanked, wouldn't she lose all face?

This kind of thing could only happen when one is alone with the commander in private.

Hmm, no, no, not in private either. She doesn't have any particular fetishes. It would be more likely if the Commander did...

However, if the Commander has this kind of fetish, then... then should she let the Commander hit her or not? If she does let him, should she deliberately scream louder when she's being hit, or should she hold it in? But she should probably hold it in, to appear more ladylike. But... but if she screams louder, the Commander would probably be more satisfied, right...?

The deeper she thought about it, the more embarrassed she became. Just as Z23 was lost in her fantasies, You Ran saw Nelson hesitating and knew that dragging it out wouldn't lead to anything, so she simply said, "Alright then, I was originally going to give him a good spanking, but since Abercrombie said that... let's switch to spanking his buttocks."

"Hmm, really? This...this isn't a good idea." Z23 subconsciously touched her butt, feeling a little uneasy after her earlier wild thoughts.

"Ahem, after all, Abercrombie has already begged me so much, it wouldn't be right for me not to agree. Alright, which of you three wants to go first?"

Upon hearing You Ran's words, Nelson and the other two blushed and lowered their heads, none of them daring to meet You Ran's gaze.

"Nimi-chan?"

Seeing that no one responded for a long time, You Ran had no choice but to call out names.

"Well, um... these kinds of things are probably better done in private..." Z23 said softly, blushing and looking down, without daring to meet You Ran's gaze.

"What about Hood?"

As You Ran spoke and glanced over, Hu De, as if she hadn't heard anything, patted Little Renown's head beside her. "Little Renown, have you decided what to eat tonight? I can cook for you~"

"Nelson?"

“Don’t look at me. I’m fine with a slap on the hand, but not with the others,” Nelson said decisively, his face slightly flushed.

"Phew~ Alright then, that little reputation."

Knowing things wouldn't be that simple, especially for Nelson, he sighed and then waved to the little Prestige behind Hood.

Upon hearing the commander's call, Nobunaga was clearly a little surprised, but after only a moment's hesitation, he quickly ran to You Ran's side and then, without hesitation, lay down on You Ran's lap and closed his eyes nervously.

"Uh." You Ran was clearly taken aback. "Little Shengwang, what are you doing?"

"Commander, weren't you going to punish me...?"

Hearing this, You Ran was a little amused and exasperated. "I didn't mean to punish Little Renown. I just suddenly have an urgent mission for you, and these kinds of missions are usually only handled by regular royal knights. Are you confident you can complete it, Little Renown?"

"A mission? Or...an emergency mission?! And only Royal Knights can complete it?!"

"Commander, I want it! Oh, no, I should say... Commander, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"

With each repeated sentence, Little Prestige's eyes lit up a little more. By the end, Little Prestige quickly climbed down from You Ran's lap, then made a promise in a cute, childlike voice before standing still and giving a standard knightly salute.

"Good, you're very determined. From now on, Little Renown, you'll take Abercrombie to the door and start guarding the office. No one is allowed to enter without my permission. Understand?!"

"I understand!"

The small reputation is full of energy.

"Good boy. When I have the chance, I will recommend you to King George V to become a real royal knight. Go now."

"Yes!"

After responding again, Little Renown pulled the still-unresponsive Abercrombie away and vanished from the office in an instant.

After the two little ones left, You Ran looked at Nelson and the other two again, "Is this okay now?"

Hearing You Ran's words, the three of them exchanged glances, still feeling a little embarrassed.

"Hood, you come over here first. You were the one who talked the most back then, so you can take the lead now," You Ran said, starting to call on people again.

"Well... okay then."

After all, they had already done something even more shameful this morning, so Hood was a little more accepting than Z23 and Nelson. In addition, Renown and Abercrombie had already left, leaving only Nelson and the others. And considering that the two of them wouldn't be able to escape either, Hood was naturally able to accept it.

After hesitating for a moment while standing next to You Ran, Hu De, too embarrassed to look at Nelson and the others, blushed and climbed directly onto You Ran's lap.

Although this wasn't as thrilling as riding on horseback that morning, there were still other people watching, and Hood still felt a little ashamed.

Looking at Hood lying on her lap, You Ran lifted her skirt and suddenly realized that tearing Hood's pants that morning was the right thing to do.

Soon after You Ran finished enjoying the beautiful spring scenery, there were a few slapping sounds. However, since the slapping in the morning was even louder, You Ran didn't really touch him. After about ten slaps, he let Hu De go.

Although they were just listening, Z23 and Nelson, who were standing to the side, looked as if they were the ones getting a beating, and their faces became even redder.

……

P.S.: Happy Lantern Festival everyone!

Chapter 191 Nelson's Campus Legend

"Next, Nimi-chan, come on."

As You Ran called out, Z23 trembled, clearly showing some reaction.

"Gurgle..."

Now that it knew it couldn't escape, and with Hu De leading the way, Z23 thought about it and finally obediently lay down on You Ran's lap.

However, for You Ran, Z23's size was still a bit too small, and it didn't feel like much when fighting it. Although the high-quality silk was a plus, it was still lacking in terms of drumming. So You Ran only hit it a few times and then let Z23 go.

Despite this, Z23 was still blushing after being hit. After all, it had nothing to do with the force of the beating; it was just too embarrassing for a teacher to be spanked by the commander at school.

After letting Z23 go, You Ran turned her attention to Nelson, the last one.

Judging from appearances, Nelson's buttocks might be the largest among the three, but that's only one of the reasons that piqued You Ran's interest. The real key is that Nelson's arrogant personality really adds a lot to this project, which makes You Ran very much looking forward to Nelson's reaction.

Seeing You Ran turn his gaze towards him, Nelson, who had been silently pretending to be invisible, knew he couldn't hide any longer, so he had no choice but to glare back. "You, why are you looking at me like that? Commander, you don't think I'll compromise just because Hood and Z23 compromised, do you? Hmph! How could that be? Anyway, Abercrombie and the others have already gone out. Whether it's a real fight or a fake one, she won't know. Commander, you can just not say anything later."

Hearing Nelson's words, You Ran just smiled and didn't say anything. After all, it would have been more useful to say these words earlier, but it was too late to say them now.

Before Nelson could figure out why the commander was laughing, Z23 straightened her skirt and suddenly stepped forward.

“Well… Abercrombie’s parents, I think that among the three of us, it doesn’t really matter whether Hood and I fight or not, but it’s the only one who can’t.”

"Huh? I'm the only one who can't...? Why not?"

If Z23 and Hood hadn't already been beaten, Nelson would have thought Z23 was trying to exonerate himself.

"Because Abercrombie undoubtedly cares more about you than me and Z23, so the more 'miserably' you are beaten now, the more Abercrombie will remember the Commander's teachings today. You know, the Commander doesn't have that much free time every day. If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to do it again next time. Nelson, you must not let down the Commander's good intentions."

"We can't let Nelson get away," Hood chimed in.

"What kind of twisted logic is this...?"

After hearing what the two said, Nelson wavered a bit. After all, as Hood said, the Commander wasn't free every day. In fact, Abercrombie was just giving her an excuse. Even without Abercrombie, Nelson still hoped to spend more time with the Commander, even if that contact involved something as shameful as getting a spanking.

"Well, alright then, since you've put it that way, I'll reluctantly agree."

"But let me make this clear first, I didn't agree voluntarily. I only agreed for the sake of you and that child Abercrombie. Otherwise, I would never have agreed under any circumstances."

After some hesitation, he finally agreed, his face flushed. Although Nelson's body had already obediently pressed against her, his mouth remained stubbornly unwilling to back down.

"Then I'm going to fight."

As soon as Nelson lay down, she could clearly feel the soft touch on her thigh. In addition, because Nelson was wearing a short bodycon skirt, when she leaned forward, the white expanse at the base of her thighs was naturally exposed. Nelson probably realized this as well, and with a blushing face, she stretched out one hand and tried to pull down the hem of her clothes.
