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

Chapter 204 I really love the Commander!

Port area, seaside.

"Oh, it's the Commander! What a coincidence, are you here at the beach too?"

"Yeah, what a coincidence. I really didn't expect to see so many ship girls on the beach so early in the morning."

"Hehe~ Doesn't that just prove that Commander and I are destined to meet? By the way, Commander, did you have anything today?"

"No time, no time! The Commander came here today specifically to spend time with Senior Santiago and me. His schedule is already full, so don't get any funny ideas here."

"Oh, I know, I know. I just came over to say hello to the commander. I didn't mean anything by it. Guam, why are you making such a fuss?"

"That's hard to say. I know what you're all up to. Anyway, I've been keeping an eye on you. Just saying hello is fine, but don't get any ideas."

......

Since arriving at the beach, conversations like this have been commonplace. In just a few minutes, Guam felt like it had chased away countless ship girls who wanted to flirt with the commander.

After all, Guam knew she wasn't as magnanimous as her senior San Diego, nor did she think the other ship girls would be. And to be honest, she quite liked, no, she really enjoyed being the commander's girlfriend.

It was probably this identity that gave Guam a bit of confidence. Looking at the senior Santiago holding the commander's hand, Guam felt a little envious and couldn't help but have some thoughts. Taking advantage of the moment when the commander was greeting the other ship girls, Guam seized an opportunity to link arms with him and then immediately looked away as if nothing had happened, as if she had been holding his hand the whole time.

When her arm was suddenly linked with his, You Ran wasn't too surprised. Instead, she subconsciously pulled Guam closer to her side.

It was this seemingly insignificant little action that made Guam's heart tremble with anxiety.

From Guam's perspective, the commander wasn't just trying to pull her away physically; he was practically stealing her heart and soul!

Ugh, no, I can't take it anymore! I really love the Commander! For the Commander, I will—

No, no, it's not the right time yet. Guam, you have to hold back, you absolutely have to hold back! You can't go crazy at the commander right now, or he'll definitely treat you like a subordinate ship girl.

"Guam."

"Guam..."

"Guam?"

"Ah, yes, I'm here. What's wrong, Commander?"

Guam was barely able to stop his daydreaming after You Ran called him three times, and he quickly responded.

"You seemed a bit distracted just now, are you alright?" You Ran asked with concern, looking at Guam's flushed face beside her.

"No, it's nothing." Guam quickly shook his head. "I just suddenly thought of some things from before, it's nothing."

"What happened before? You'll have to tell me all about it in Guam later. But before that, you and Santiago should go inside and change your clothes first, or all the good spots might be taken."

Never in my wildest dreams has it that what should have been a short walk took more than ten minutes. After greeting countless ship girls, You Ran finally realized the allure of the summer beach, which made so many ship girls willing to get up early for it. This made You Ran more interested in the rest of her time at the beach.

Hearing You Ran's words, Guam also blushed and said, "Well, if you want to hear it, Commander, I'll tell you about it in private later. Commander, let's go in and change into our swimsuits first."

As she spoke, Guam reluctantly released You Ran's arm. If she could, she would have liked to hold her like that forever.

"Hey, Commander, aren't you changing with us?" Santiago asked, somewhat puzzled, as he took out a pre-prepared swimsuit from his ship equipment.

As soon as Santiago finished speaking, all eyes turned to him almost instantly, causing Guam, who had been somewhat interested, to immediately abandon the idea.

"Uh, Santiago-senpai, we're not at home right now. There are other ship girls outside, and the Commander has his own dressing room, so he doesn't have to squeeze in with us."

Guam offered a weak explanation, saying she didn't want the locker room to turn into a party.

"Hmm~ that seems to be it. I was wondering why everyone never goes over there. Turns out the other side is reserved for the Commander..." After realizing this, Santiago had a look of sudden realization.

Soon after a brief farewell to Santiago and Guam, You Ran also entered the other locker room.

Perhaps to ensure privacy, the windows in the changing room were covered with gauze, making the light quite dim.

After closing the door, I tried turning on the lights, but I don't know if it was because the bulbs hadn't been used for a long time and were in disrepair, or what, but even after pressing all the switches, not a single light turned on.

You Ran felt somewhat helpless about this, but it didn't really affect anything. After all, it only took him a dozen seconds to change his swim trunks, so he wouldn't stay in the water for long.

But what You Ran really didn't expect was that just as he was taking off his shirt and looking forward to seeing Guam and the other ship girls in their swimsuits, a familiar aura suddenly appeared around him. The next second, a pair of very slender hands brushed past his ears from behind and then covered his eyes.

"Commander~ Guess who I am?"

"Oh, right, let's make this clear first, we can't just go by feeling~ that wouldn't be fun."

Like a wise older sister, the voice was very gentle, which immediately reminded You Ran of the wives of characters like Guanghui.

Feeling a little itchy from the warm breath on her ear, You Ran pursed her lips: "But guessing is just about feeling, isn't it? How am I supposed to guess if I can't rely on my feelings?"

Although finding out the ship girl's identity might just be a matter of a thought, it has to be said that the suggestion was quite interesting, which made You Ran successfully suppress her desire to find out.

"Of course...it's based on clues!"

As soon as the words behind her fell, You Ran felt a soft touch on her back. This made her heart flutter and almost immediately eliminated most of the ship girls in the port. Even so, there were still too many ship girls to choose from. After all, there were many powerful ship girls in the port, and it was too difficult to guess based on just this few clues.

"How was the clue your sister gave you? Not bad at all!"

In the darkness, as a pair of delicate pale yellow eyes gradually revealed hearts, a ship girl wearing a semi-transparent white bikini swimsuit, with an enviable figure and a pair of cute animal ears, was now breathing hot air into You Ran's ear, her voice incredibly seductive.

Chapter 205 Atago's Attack

The ship girl is Atago.

After learning the news in the group, she began to take action. Unlike the other ship girls, Atago knew that if she did not use some means, even if she came into contact with the commander, it would not last long. Moreover, even if she did not care, the commander and the other ship girls might not be able to accept it under the watchful eyes of everyone. Therefore, whether she could be alone with the commander became the key point of this operation.

With time running out and the task becoming increasingly demanding, Atago's thinking gradually became clear after grasping this crucial point. Upon arriving at the beach, she went straight to the changing room and quickly covered the windows with black cloth. She then removed all sources of light from the room, either storing them in her ship equipment or hiding them in cabinets. All the preparations Atago had made before this were for this very moment.

A sweet moment that belongs only to her and the commander.

Holding the commander in front of her, Atago, who had originally wanted to remain reserved, couldn't help but press her head against him as well, and then took a deep breath.

Hmm~ I miss it so much, that familiar, long-lost scent that belonged only to the Commander...

While Atago was reminiscing, You Ran was diligently sifting through the hundreds of ship girls in the port. In truth, judging solely by the feeling behind her, You Ran probably wouldn't be able to guess. However, the information she had just received instantly gave her confidence again. After all, there were very few ship girls in the port who referred to themselves as "older sister." Coupled with the feeling behind her, You Ran gradually came to the answer.

Given her size, her proactive approach, and her calling herself "older sister," there's only one explanation...

"It's you! Chicago!"

After some deliberation, You Ran gave the answer directly.

"Commander~ Being a chatterbox isn't a good habit."

Although she felt a little disappointed, she had completely expected that the commander would guess wrong. After all, Atago knew that she hadn't given enough reminders. After thinking about it, Atago didn't deliberately lower her voice this time.

"Well, so as expected of Atlanta, you figured it out." Realizing she had guessed wrong, You Ran quickly changed her tune.

Upon hearing the commander's reply, Atago, who was about to lean in for a kiss, instantly froze.

"Commander... if you keep being naughty, your sister will get angry~"

"Well, I just didn't expect that. By the way, Suffren, aren't you usually sleeping at this time? Why are you up so early today?"

"..."

"Alright, alright, enough joking around. Atago, I knew it was you."

Before Atago could speak, after a moment of silence, You Ran realized something was wrong and immediately changed his mind, turning around abruptly. He was prepared to kiss her to atone for his mistake if she guessed wrong again.

Despite the dim lighting in the room, You Ran recognized the ship girl in front of her at such close range as Atago, which immediately put her at ease.

At the same time, Atago, who was standing in front of You Ran, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Phew~ As expected, she knew the commander was joking; he still had her in his heart.

"Congratulations, Commander, you answered correctly! Hehe, now it's reward time!"

After saying that, Atago looked at the commander in front of her, hooked her toes, and then directly picked up You Ran's head, and then covered it with her chest and gave it a good face wash.

Unlike the facial cleanser that Charybdis used through clothing, Atago was now wearing a swimsuit, so You Ran could directly feel Atago's smooth and soft skin. However, because Atago was hugging him a little too tightly, You Ran couldn't tell whether he was enjoying it or suffering.

"So, Atago, what are you doing here?"

He finally managed to pull Atago away before he could catch his breath. Although his body reacted somewhat after being pulled like that, he managed to calm down by thinking that Santiago and Guam were still waiting for him outside.

Seeing the commander staring straight at her, Atago instinctively avoided his gaze, but the next second, she turned back to meet his eyes.

But whether it was because the room was too dark or as Noshiro had said, looking at her beloved commander, Atago felt that her desire had not subsided, but had become even stronger.

Upon realizing this, Atago was overjoyed.

In fact, the reason she hadn't taken action before was precisely because of this; Atago was really unsure whether she could withstand the Commander's eyes, which were as pure and innocent as a saint's, devoid of any desire.

After all, Atago had tried countless times before, but each time ended in failure, which led her to gradually evolve from a practical practitioner into a crazy person active online.

But now, everything is different.

Atago's gaze burned even brighter as she looked at the commander before her.

"Um, Atago, are you alright?" Yu Ran asked with concern, suddenly sensing that Atago seemed a little off.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little excited because I haven't seen the Commander in so long. By the way, Commander, don't you think this scene looks familiar?"

"familiar?"

"Hmm, Commander~ Have you forgotten that there's still one thing you and your sister haven't finished~"

"Unfinished business..." You Ran paused, then quickly remembered what Atago had just said, and her expression immediately became a little awkward. "Ahem, can we talk about this later? Santiago and Guam are still waiting for me outside."

Although this happened some years ago, Yu Ran still remembers it vividly. The unfinished business that Atago mentioned was actually the surprise attack that Atago launched on him when he was changing clothes, just two days after he arrived in the port area.

During that attack, he and Atago practically did everything they could except for the final step. After all, he had just transmigrated and was not someone who could resist temptation. Normally, he could have easily suppressed his anger, but a ship girl like Atago, who was extremely aggressive, was naturally beyond his ability to resist. Not to mention that he had not yet been enhanced by the Meta-Cube and had no strength to resist at all.

Of course, he didn't really want to resist at the time, which is why things progressed so smoothly. In fact, if Helena hadn't suddenly appeared and interrupted them, who knows how things would have turned out between him and Atago.

Hearing Atago's words, You Ran actually wanted to agree. After all, things were different now, and he wasn't as reserved as before. In a different time, he might have been the one to take the initiative. But the time and place Atago had chosen were indeed a bit inappropriate. He couldn't very well tell Santiago and the others that he had spent an hour or two changing clothes...

"It's alright, I'm not that petty. If the Commander wants Guam and San Diego to join in later, that's perfectly fine with me."

"Can,"

Without giving You Ran a chance to refuse, Atago's eyes were full of seductive charm, and the desire that had been suppressed for more than thirty years surged out like a flood. Moreover, having been interrupted last time, Atago did not choose to proceed gradually as before, but instead, after lifting the last veil of modesty between the two, she chose to go straight to the point...
