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

Essex: "Were you offended?"

Bumblebee: "?, reminiscing about that day."

New Jersey: "Okay, since you've insisted, I'll tell you what happened that day."

The three consecutive "dried goods" (Long Island): "Quickly add more code!"

New Jersey: "Ahem."

New Jersey: "I remember it was a sunny day. When I appeared beside Honey again as her secretary ship, I noticed that Honey was different today. Unlike usual, Honey's eyes were fixed on me, as if she could see right through me. They were aggressive and oppressive. I didn't dare to look Honey in the eye, but Honey stared at me intently. I thought I had done something wrong and made Honey angry. As Honey walked towards me, I nervously took a few steps back. Suddenly! Honey pinned me against the wall."

Reno: "? Keep writing, why did you stop?"

Bumblebee: "I'm writing five red dots, kids love to see that."

New Jersey: "Don't rush, as time goes by, you'll inevitably forget some details."

New Jersey: "I only remember my mind going blank at that moment. Honey's tall frame loomed over me, leaning down and almost biting my earlobe. Accompanied by warm breath, Honey's magnetic voice rang in my ear: 'Heh~ New Jersey, you're quite an interesting ship girl. Why don't you dare look me in the eye?'"

I was terrified and could only hurriedly explain, stammering out the rumors I had heard in the port area. But then Honey gave a wicked smile, took out a black ribbon that he had prepared long ago from his pocket, and tied it over my eyes. I lost my vision and panicked even more. But soon, like spring rain, I felt Honey's kiss.

Then, naturally, things fell into place, and from then on, I was no longer afraid to look my honey in the eye.

Seattle: "???"

Bubble Gum (Colombia): "Huh? Really?! It can't be true, can it?!"

"I don't want to go out (Juno): 'Ugh, the Commander has lost both of his firsts.'"

Bumblebee: "Is this something I can see without giving it to Red Tip...?"

Essex: "@Chierzage, check these paragraphs."

X (Kill Sarker): "Scanning text..."

Kearsarge: "Comparing text libraries..."

Kearsarge: "The plagiarism rate detected is 98.5%. The original text is 'The Overbearing Commander Falls in Love with Me' by teacher z23 from Hong Kong Novel Network. The non-repeated part is 'honey, New Jersey'."

New Jersey: "?"

Seattle: "??????????????????"

Bumblebee: "Hilarious! That's a great story, but don't make it up next time."

Colombia: "Hahahahahahaha!"

New Jersey: "Don't let these irrelevant factors influence your subjective judgment. I just didn't know how to express the scene at the time, so I borrowed it."

Essex: "Yes, yes, yes, my thunderbolts have ripped you apart all over, except for your mouth, which I haven't been able to penetrate your armor."

New Jersey: "Do you even know what Iowa-class is? You could bring me ten more rounds and I could handle it, okay???"

Essex: "So the chat logs above are fake too?"

Kilsa: "After professional information comparison and testing, the conclusion is true."

Essex: "?"

Colombia:"?"

Bumblebee: "?"

New Jersey: "????????? We told you it was true, but you still wouldn't believe us. Now the truth is out, you were the ones who were ???"

Essex: "So what if it's true? You're too scared to go. I'd be happy if you even got into the Commander's lounge tonight!"

New Jersey: "Fine, I'll send you photos later. You'll be grinding your teeth in frustration!"

Back in her dorm, New Jersey happily put away her phone after sending the message. Going to the Commander and getting rejected? She wasn't stupid. Staying home was better; the less she messaged them, the more anxious they'd be. Waking up the next morning to see their panicked reactions would make for another pleasant day.

but……

Come to think of it, it has been a while since she's seen Honey. Maybe... she should really go see him tonight?

If, by some 0.0001% chance, her honey is unemployed tonight, she can pester him to take a picture before leaving.

Thinking about this, New Jersey suddenly felt a little tempted.

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Sirius and Kete

Port area, command center.

Since Belfast left, You Ran has been sitting in her office chair, pondering a question.

So... what should he do now?

After all, he has basically completed all the known technologies, and Bismarck and others have taken over all the trivial matters in the port area. In fact, there doesn't seem to be anything for him to worry about.

Thinking of this, You Ran felt somewhat helpless. Just as the ship girl described him, for more than 30 years, apart from studying, working, and researching, he had no free time. As the time for the world's destruction drew closer, he wished he could split every spare moment in two. He simply didn't have time to think about what he would do if he had any free time.

This has led to You Ran being quite disconnected from the daily lives of the ship girls, and she doesn't know what to do when she's free.

"Quejie, what do you usually do when you have free time?"

After thinking about it, she decided to use it as a topic of conversation and asked You Ran about it.

"Huh? Me?! Me, usually besides chatting with everyone in the group and on the forum at home, I mostly go to school for classes and self-study."

Ever since being released from the commander's arms, Quejie had been lost in thought. Hearing You Ran's words, he was naturally startled and almost instinctively replied...

"Attend class?"

"Well, after all, I think that the lack of practical experience should be addressed by using knowledge and procedures to make the most of our strengths and avoid our weaknesses."

"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've visited the school."

Speaking of schools, You Ran naturally thought of the adorable destroyers and felt a little tempted. However, just as You Ran was thinking about whether to go to the school, there was a knock on the door outside the command room.

"Sirius...? Is there something you need? Please come in."

Unlike the rest room, the door to the command room is usually half-open, so You Ran could still spot Sirius standing at the door at a glance.

"Because it's quite hot today, I specially made some iced Earl Grey tea to help the host cool down."

!!!

Hearing Sirius's words, Jie was also surprised. She thought that today would be like the usual duty secretary ship, where she would be the only one by the commander's side even if she didn't say a word.

But who knew that today, not only did she unexpectedly talk to the Commander so much, but she also did so many intimate things. However, in return, the other ship girls also started to get closer to the Commander.

Looking at the black tea that Sirius was serving, Quejie felt anxious and frustrated at the same time. After all, she had been completely overwhelmed by the commander's gentleness today, and her mind was filled with random thoughts, forgetting all these basic trivial matters. At this moment, Quejie felt only regret.

Are we just going to have to admit defeat like this...?

Seeing Sirius's completely ignoring gaze, Quejie felt a surge of resentment and anger.

No, no! She can admit defeat anywhere, but she absolutely cannot admit defeat when it comes to the Commander.

There must be some other way...

correct!

After much contemplation, he finally came to a conclusion. Quejie suddenly opened his eyes, an answer appearing in his mind.

Although it's a bit of a stretch, it's the only way.

Taking a breath, Quejie kept encouraging himself in his heart.

"A secret recipe... Earl Grey tea?"

Looking at the drink Sirius handed over, You Ran had a bad feeling about the words "secret recipe".

"Well, you can also think of it as fruit tea with Sirius's secret recipe."

"I see, then I..."

"and many more!"

Just as You Ran was about to take it and taste it, Que Jie walked over with a slightly flushed face.

"Um... Quejie? What's wrong...?"

"Actually, I also prepared some drinks for the Commander."

What kind of drink?

"It's kept at the perfect 3 degrees Celsius within the ship's equipment, a summer cooling essential, a super-ice-cold cola at just the right temperature!"

Although he didn't know if it would work, this was the only option he had at the moment. So, he braced himself and shouted out the spirit of a royal knight.

"But that should be plain sour cola, right? This kind of stuff is only for ship girls. It will make the commander feel unwell if he drinks it."

Sirius wouldn't have said much about other Sirius characters, but when it came to the Commander's health, Sirius ruthlessly revealed the truth.

"..."

Having completely ignored this point from the beginning, a sense of frustration welled up in Quejie's heart once again as he listened to Sirius's words.

Ugh~ We've lost, we've lost completely!

After this, I can never hold my head high in front of Sirius again.

"Actually... I definitely wouldn't have been able to drink it before, but it doesn't really matter now. And because of the influence of the Meta Cube, I might be more suited to eating your food now."

Although she didn't know why this matter had such a big impact on Quejie, You Ran still tried her best to comfort him as she saw him shrouded in gloom after being denied by Sirius and almost kneeling on the ground.
