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

Because she knew that, more than anything else, what Charybdis understood was that what she wanted was not the moment of triumph in the photograph, but a long and lasting relationship with the commander.

"No, it's nothing, I just suddenly feel a little dizzy."

Perhaps because she had been in a "god-like" state for too long, her brain couldn't quite process it out of it, which is why You Ran had a headache.

But his body was no longer in a normal state, and after a moment of calm, he quickly recovered. Only then did he notice the softness behind his head.

"Sorry, did I scare you?"

Just as You Ran was about to get up after realizing what had happened, she was unexpectedly pressed back down by Charybdis in a rather forceful manner.

"It's alright, Master. I think you must be tired. If you insist on continuing to work, then lean back here and rest for a while."

Having returned to normal, You Ran felt that he still possessed all kinds of knowledge, and he was just wondering why he didn't seem to have changed.

Now, having sensed the brainwaves behind him, he finally understood the difference between himself and before.

He used to be without desires or wants, only thinking about how to develop the port area to cope with the crisis of the end of the world. Even when he was honest with Taihou in the bathroom, or when he faced the attack of the Radiant Night, he was completely unmoved.

But now, he was overwhelmed by a small embrace from Charybdis, and all sorts of emotions that had been suppressed for a long time began to surge into his heart, making You Ran's thoughts completely different from before.

"Alright, Charybdis, don't worry, I really don't plan to go back to work."

But having lived a life of simplicity and detachment for so many years, You Ran temporarily suppressed all sorts of thoughts in her heart and prepared to calm down by herself first.

Are you going to the research institute?

"No, there's nothing left to study there."

"So...it's the library?"

"no..."

"That"

"Alright, alright, Charybdis, you don't need to guess anymore. I'm not going anywhere. I just want to rest now. I've been working for so long, and I'm really tired."

"Really, really!"

Upon hearing You Ran's words, an expression of disbelief reappeared on Charybdis's face.

Is this really her commander, who for over a decade has been solely focused on work, study, and research, a cycle that several senior colleagues have tried every method to pull her away from her post?!

Could it be that the Commander's cold and rigid heart has finally been melted by everyone's warmth, and he's ready to enjoy life?

Thinking of this, Charybdis's eyes suddenly welled up with tears for some reason.

If given the choice, who wouldn't want to raise a commander who's completely useless?

"Of course, have I ever lied to you before?"

"To be honest, although I don't feel tired, I don't know why, but I feel more comfortable lying down right now."

Feeling that Charybdis was being overly surprised, You Ran had no choice but to speak again.

"Lie down...? Master, if you trust me, I do have a good way to help you relax."

"what way?"

"Well... let me keep you in suspense for now. Master, please lie down in the rest room for a while. Give me five minutes, no! Just three minutes! I'll be right back!"

Although she didn't know why the commander's personality had changed so drastically and was no longer as cold as before, Charybdis had to consider whether this might be her only chance in this life, so she had to make a decision immediately.

"There's no need to be in such a rush..."

Watching Charybdis rush away, You Ran shook her head helplessly, then walked directly into the rather luxurious lounge.

Speaking of this lounge, it originally only had a sofa and a coffee table, far from being as luxurious as it is now.

However, because You Ran had been pursuing efficiency, she would come to this rest room to take a short break whenever she needed to rest, leaving her original room almost empty.

Over time, the ship girls expanded the ship for him to sleep more comfortably, eventually resulting in its current form.

Thinking back, I felt a little sad. Sitting on the sofa, You Ran looked at the phone on the coffee table in front of him and suddenly picked it up out of curiosity.

Going back to the point, in order to pursue efficiency, he usually contacted the ship girls directly through the mental network, which is a kind of special magnetic field.

Mobile phones are the chat devices used by the ship girls in the port area. In order to enrich the ship girls' leisure time, You Ran also used her memories from her previous life to replicate some of the corresponding products such as games, movies and novels.

However, apart from Long Island and others who were quite interested in these things, the remaining ship girls were not very interested, so You Ran didn't put too much thought into them.

However, he recently heard that a trend of fan-made content has become popular in the port area. Although he didn't pay attention to it at the time, now that he thinks about it, Yu Ran suddenly became interested.

Perfect timing. Because of his previous state of enlightenment, he hadn't paid much attention to the daily lives of the ship girls. Now, with this opportunity, You Ran was ready to see if he could quickly integrate into the group.

Thinking of this, You Ran opened her phone, hesitated for a moment, and then opened the most popular chat app in the port area, "Chiu Chiu".

Looking at the string of unread messages on her phone, You Ran twitched her lips awkwardly, then opened the first group chat with over 99 messages.

Call me (Seattle) for a party: "No traitors, just some lewd pictures of the commander."

You Ran: ? ? ?

What kind of group allows you to send this kind of message? (Chapter 3)

No, he just hasn't paid much attention to the private lives of the ship girls over the years. Have they become so abstract now?

Suddenly feeling a little scared, but looking at the bunch of usernames in the group, You Ran couldn't tell who was who for a moment, so she maxed out her account's permissions in the backend before quickly continuing to look.

Port Area's Number One Idol (Saratoga): "?"

^-^ (Washington): "?"

It's not a fat dinosaur! (Fearsome): "?"

Bismarck: "Seattle, this is the main group. Please be mindful of the context when sending messages."

Seeing this, You Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, there were more normal ship girls in the port area.

Seattle retracted a message.

Seattle: "Ahem, sorry, sorry, sent to the wrong group."

Protecting the best exterminator sister (Royal Ark): "What kind of group allows this kind of message? Invite me in and give me a piece of my mind."

Big J (New Jersey): "What kind of group allows this kind of message? Invite me in and give them a piece of my mind."

Neptune: "What kind of group allows this kind of message? Invite me in and give them a piece of my mind."

Neptune: "Hey, Royal Ark, are you out yet? I haven't seen you for the past two days. I thought you were still in the Sakura Empire's detention center."

Royal Ark: "What are you saying! What kind of talk is that! Don't slander others without reason. I haven't been protecting the exterminated sister these past two days. Instead, I've taken a lot of photos of the Commander. Besides, the Sakura Empire's detention center has internet access, okay!"

Neptune: "I don't believe you unless you show me a picture of the Commander."

Take this cat punch! (Cheshire): "I don't believe you unless you send me a picture of my darling."

New Jersey: "I don't believe you unless you post a picture of Honey."

Royal Ark: "..."

Royal Ark: "You're all just repeating machines..."

Royal Ark: "Alright, but these pictures of mine are a bit suggestive, I'll send them to a separate group chat for you guys to see."

Wanzi Mustard Noodles (Atago): "What! Commander's lewd pictures!! I want them too??!"

Sharpshooter (Warspite): "Count me in too."

Want some cookies? (Hao): "+1"

Formidable: +1

Victory Goddess (Victory): +1

Victory: "Damn it, I came in and found you just slacking off in the group chat. If your older sister knew you skipped the tea party and stayed home playing on your phone today, she might be angry~"

Fearless: "Ah, Victory, please don't tell Radiant, I'm coming right now!"

I love lying flat (unyielding): +1

Bu Nao: "Eh~ How come I didn't know there was a tea party today?"

Victory: "Hmm...no? Maybe I remembered wrong."

Bu Nao: "Oh no! So you didn't go either, Sister Shengli?!"

Victory: "Ahem, I was having tea with Tirpitz on the Ironblood side, and when I saw Formidable slacking off in the group chat, I couldn't help but tease him."

Unyielding: "??"

I will try my best! (Quickly): "+1"

Pirate (Royal Fortune): "+1"

My Little Pudding (San Francisco): +1

Commander (Taihou): "?"

Taihou: "Are you guys corrupting the rules again! Let me tell you, I'm the disciplinary committee member personally appointed by the Commander. This kind of bad behavior in the group is absolutely unacceptable! Hand over the lewd pictures now, or I'll report you to the Commander!"

Disciplinary committee member? He doesn't remember ever having that.

Upon seeing this, You Ran tried hard to recall, but had absolutely no recollection of it.

Feeling a bit mentally challenged after emerging from the sage state, You Ran could only shake her head helplessly and continue reading.

Royal Ark: "There's a mole inside. Terminate the deal!"

New Jersey: "Ark, don't be afraid, watch me unleash my giant mackerel to bite her!"

Da Feng: "Hmph! I only give her face when I'm around. Do you really think I'm afraid of that brat?! And even if I were, so what? I'm in my own room now. Can she still come over through the internet and bite me?"

Da Feng: "xhwodnjz"

Da Feng: "@@@@@@@"

Dafeng: "jkjkjjjjjjjjkkkkkkkk"
