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

No, it seems she's gone into a mental rut.

That said, why did she even bother to prove she'd raped Honey? If she actually did, wouldn't that be telling the other ship girls that the Commander can be raped?!

Isn't this just her creating a competitor for herself?

After all, what is she doing online at home all day? What is she doing searching for lewd pictures of Honey every day? What is she doing clinging to her fantasies despite being called a clown every day?

That's all because the previous honey was like a block of ice, difficult to approach and impossible to melt, so they used these to band together with other group members to find some warmth and comfort themselves in their fantasies!

But things are different now! Now she's succeeded!

Although she's still a bit confused, there's no denying that Honey is no longer as cold and ruthless to her as before.

This can be seen not only from the fact that Honey did not reject her last night, but also from the fact that she noticed the Commander's eyes were completely different from usual when she was being affectionate this morning. That kind of eyes was exactly what New Jersey had been hoping for, the eyes that the Commander longed for.

So what was she arguing about all this time?! She even made Honey unhappy because she was a little dizzy earlier. What a failure!

Sure enough, spending every day with clowns almost turned her into one herself; no wonder she's been feeling like her brain isn't working properly lately.

New Jersey now seriously suspects that her quick reaction last night was because she usually looks at too many erotic pictures in the group chat; otherwise, how could she be so sensitive?

Seriously, what a terrible group! It's really causing a lot of harm!

Leave the group! Leave the group now!

In a fit of anger, she threw her phone onto the bed. New Jersey, suddenly realizing her mistake, no longer wanted to care about any of this. All she wanted now was to cuddle with her honey and pour out her heart about the loneliness she had felt over the years.

As for things online, she has completely let go of them.

Forget about clowns, all she can say is that she's already won so badly she's completely won!

Thinking of this, New Jersey could no longer contain his burning excitement. He jumped out of bed and ran quickly toward the door.

Hehe~! My dear honey~ I'm here~!

……

……

A moment later, in the command room...

"Ugh—! Hentai! Lewd! A naked, perverted older woman! Waaah~! Commander! I'm scared~ Get her away right now!"

Startled by New Jersey suddenly rushing out of the lounge, Harman almost tore her notebook to shreds and instinctively ran into You Ran's arms.

"Um, you can't slander me like that! I was clearly wearing half a stocking... Honey, you have to stand up for me!"

Harman's words made New Jersey suddenly realize that she had only put on half of her clothes before rushing to post, completely forgetting that she wasn't fully dressed. But upon hearing Harman's words, New Jersey couldn't help but defend herself.

Never having imagined that Little Harman, whom he had been thinking about for so long, would actually throw herself into his arms, You Ran gave New Jersey a thumbs up in his heart, but on the surface he still said righteously, "No, I think the little dark room is no longer suitable for you, New Jersey. Or you should be roommates with Royal Ark now."

"Waaah—no! I was just excited. I didn't realize there were other people outside besides you, Honey. I'm not a pervert or anything."

With a mournful cry, New Jersey suddenly felt that all the good cards he had played had been ruined. He was still holding the most powerful Joker in his hand, but he could only watch helplessly as others kept getting doubles.

Chapter 43 The Special Feelings in Yorktown's Heart

After ordering New Jersey to go back inside and get dressed immediately, You Ran hugged Harman closer. He had originally wanted to pat her head, but the cat ear headband on Harman's head was a bit uncomfortable, so You Ran had to give up on that idea for the time being.

"Um... Commander who's into lolis..." Held in You Ran's arms, Haman realized that she had just escaped the wolf's claws and fallen into the tiger's mouth again. She struggled a little, but seeing that the commander had no intention of letting her go, Haman did not try to break free again.

There was nothing she could do about it; the commander's hand was indeed too comfortable. The sense of security and warmth in her heart made it hard for Haman to let go. So she just muttered something under her breath and then remained silent, her face slightly flushed.

Hearing what Harman said, You Ran didn't refute it. After all, she knew Harman's personality. She would have been surprised if she hadn't been scolded in this situation.

Soon, as the door to the lounge opened again, New Jersey, who had finally gotten dressed and tidied herself up, came out.

"Ahem, honey~ Is it okay now?" Looking at Harman in the Commander's arms, New Jersey felt a mix of envy and embarrassment.

"New Jersey...?!" Because she had only glanced at it and was too embarrassed to look again, Harman hadn't noticed who the ship girl in front of her was. She had assumed it would be a Sakura Empire or Royal Navy ship girl, but only now did she realize that the pervert was actually a White Eagle ship girl. Perhaps because she was in the same faction as New Jersey, Harman's face turned even redder.

"Hmm... barely passable. Be more careful next time. The rest room is my private space, but the command room isn't. When you get back, write a 2,000-word self-criticism and copy the entire port rules ten more times. Submit it to me before this Saturday."

"Can,"

"Otherwise, we'll issue a public reprimand and send her to a dark room to reflect on her actions." Before New Jersey could even try to coax her, You Ran immediately said seriously.

"Well, then..."

Deep down, she knew that the whole thing was her fault, and besides, she had already gotten such a big advantage. It was already good enough that Honey hadn't locked her up in a dark room or a detention center.

Seeing that Honey seemed genuinely angry, New Jersey had no choice but to immediately behave himself.

But recalling the incredibly thick port code of conduct, New Jersey couldn't help but feel a sense of despair.

Looking at the dejected New Jersey team preparing to leave in defeat, You Ran suddenly felt a little soft-hearted. Considering that New Jersey had just helped them out, You Ran finally spoke up: "However, if you behave well during your period of reflection, I will give you a chance to prove yourself again."

"A chance to prove myself again...a chance to prove myself again?!?" Hearing You Ran's words, New Jersey's eyes, after a moment of stunned silence, almost instantly revealed boundless joy. "I, I understand! Honey, you'd better wait for me. I'll go and reflect on my actions right away!"

Haha! As expected, honey still loves me!

The sadness in his heart was swept away. Upon learning that he could avenge his previous defeat, he couldn't contain his excitement and rushed back to his dormitory, eager to start copying right away.

Listening to the conversation between the commander and New Jersey, Harman felt completely bewildered and couldn't understand what the two were talking about at all.

However, after Belfast and New Jersey left one after the other, Harman realized that she and the commander were now alone together. She suddenly felt a little shy and wanted to start a conversation, but after thinking for a long time, she didn't know what to say.

So, in the end, all Hamman could do was ask awkwardly, "Um... Commander, you... you don't do any work?"

"Work? No, I've almost finished all the work I need to do in the past thirty years, so now, Commander, I don't want to work anymore." Having gradually accepted the situation, You Ran leaned back further, unable to resist teasing Haman in her arms, "What, wouldn't it be better if I spent more time with Haman?"

"I... I just think the Commander can use this time to do something more meaningful. Besides, Harman isn't a child anymore, she doesn't need the Commander to accompany her!"

She regretted saying those words as soon as she did so. Harman wanted to explain, but the words wouldn't come out, and she could only wait nervously for You Ran's reaction.

"But what if I don't want to do anything right now, I just want to hug Harman and stare blankly?" Completely unmoved, You Ran continued to slack off.

"Then it's up to you." Relieved, Harman remained arrogant. "Anyway, it wasn't Harman who asked you to come with me."

Smiling, You Ran pinched Harman's cheek without saying anything more. You Ran suddenly felt that being arrogant could be quite cute sometimes.

However, upon closer reflection, what Harman said does make a lot of sense. It's just that simply holding them like that for a long time can get quite monotonous. It seems that we should have Akashi come over and install a larger TV in the command room and lounge, and then prepare some cartoons or comic books for the destroyers to enjoy.

That way, the destroyer in my arms won't cause trouble over time, and it'll be quite pleasant for me to watch it.

But for now, these are just thoughts. Holding Harman, and noticing the notebook she brought, You Ran finally decided to tutor Harman first.

Soon, as noon approached and seeing that the homework tutoring was almost finished, You Ran asked Haman to check the homework one last time.

Just as You Ran was lost in thought about what to eat for lunch, a knock on the door sounded. Before You Ran could react, a gentle voice mixed with doting attention immediately caught her attention.

"Oh my~ It seems our little Harman and the Commander are getting along very well. I hope I haven't bothered you?"

Standing at the door, Yorktown was somewhat surprised to see the commander holding Hamman in the command room. After all, she had thought that Hamman would be like last time, hiding in a corner of the command room to do her homework or daydream so as not to disturb the commander's work, until she came out after get off work in the evening and could not hold back her grievances and threw herself into her arms and cried loudly.

Although they didn't know exactly what had happened, it was all good news. Yorktown was also happy to see that Harman was no longer upset.

"Yorktown sister? What brings you here?!" She was pleasantly surprised to hear the familiar voice from not far away. If it were any other time, she probably would have already run into Yorktown sister's arms.

But now she had already been gradually captured by the commander's embrace, and for a moment she was reluctant to leave. However, after some hesitation, seeing that the commander did not stop her, she thought for a moment and jumped off You Ran's lap and ran towards Yorktown.

Yorktown gently pulled Harman into her arms and explained, "It's because Harman forgot to bring her lunch today. It's almost lunchtime, and if our little Harman doesn't get to eat, she'll go hungry."

After explaining, he rubbed his cheek against hers before gently placing Harman on the ground from his arms. Then, Yorktown turned his tender gaze to You Ran not far away. Although he hadn't spoken yet, his eyes were already filled with countless tender feelings.

Sigh, I wish the Commander could snuggle up in her arms and act cute like Haman someday.

Every time she saw the Commander, she couldn't help but have this thought in her heart, and as time went by, this feeling became stronger and stronger. Sometimes Yorktown would wonder if she was sick, but she didn't know why. Whenever she saw the Commander, that special feeling in her heart would overflow.

Fortunately, this emotion usually subsided after making eye contact with the commander, and Yorktown gradually felt relieved.

After all, if it weren't for this, Yorktown wouldn't know what they would have done...

Chapter 44 The Watery Beauty of Yorktown

"Besides, I haven't seen the Commander for a little while, so I thought I'd come along to visit. I hope I haven't bothered you?" Yorktown said with a gentle smile as she approached You Ran, holding Harman's hand and smoothing her hair.

"No, I haven't been that busy lately. I was just teaching Harman how to do a problem." You Ran smiled as well.

"I see..." Yorktown naturally had complete trust in the commander's words, so upon hearing this, she was clearly somewhat moved. "Then, Commander, have you eaten?"

"No, Yorktown. If you had come any later, I would have taken Harman out for a big meal, but it looks like Harman won't be able to enjoy it now."

"What?! Being able to eat Yorktown's cooking is what you call a blessing, Commander, what do you know...!"

Seeing Harman's confident expression, You Ran suddenly said, "What if I had said I would cook myself?"

"Even if you, Commander, personally cook..." In Hamman's mind, no ship girl could possibly cook as well as Yorktown, but when she heard the Commander talking about her, Hamman was momentarily speechless. "Anyway, before I tasted it, Yorktown's cooking was the best!"

"Alright, alright~ Harman, stop being so stubborn. I don't think anyone has ever eaten the Commander's cooking before. You should be grateful if you have." Although I was happy to hear Harman say that, there was nothing I could do. After all, the comparison was with the Commander, and it would be hard for Yorktown not to be biased.

"Waaah~ Yorktown sister, whose side are you on?! I was clearly speaking up for you!"

"Of course I'm on the Commander's side."

Children can be coaxed later, but opportunities to interact with the commander are few and far between. Since the commander happened to be off work today, Yorktown naturally wouldn't let such an opportunity slip by easily.

Without thinking, Yorktown made its choice and went straight to You Ran's side. Taking this opportunity to show affection, Yorktown originally just wanted to rub against the commander's cheek, but seeing the commander so close, Yorktown couldn't help but hug him.

"Commander~ don't you think so?"

Feeling the close contact with the commander, Yorktown suddenly felt incredibly satisfied.

Meanwhile, You Ran, who was sitting comfortably in her office chair, suddenly felt her head being enveloped by two soft mounds.

However, he really didn't expect Yorktown to do such a thing. After all, in his impression, Yorktown had always been the image of a gentle and elegant lady. Such a direct and bold approach was something he could not have predicted, so You Ran was also a little surprised.

But actually, a normal hug wouldn't be a big deal. But it was as if he would lose her the next second. Yorktown hugged her very tightly, and because her head was also rubbing against her, You Ran could clearly feel the silky smooth touch of her cheek rubbing against the soft breasts in front of her.

Gradually, some reactions began to emerge. If it were just the two of them alone, You Ran might not have cared, but since Harman was watching, You Ran quickly calmed down.

You Ran wanted to remind Yorktown to calm down, but with his head stuck in the hole, he couldn't speak or see. So, You Ran just randomly pinched Yorktown's head somewhere. Seeing that Yorktown was slightly more awake because of the pain, You Ran used a little force to pull his head out.

"Ahem, well... of course." Amazed by the suppleness of Yorktown's skin, and although she didn't know why so much water would come out when she pinched it, You Ran didn't have time to think about it when she saw the strange expression on Harman's face in front of her. Instead, she quickly calmed down.

"But honestly, you are all my ship girls. There's no such thing as one being on the side of another. You should all be on my side. Otherwise, you're just going through a rebellious phase and deserve a spanking." You Ran tried her best to maintain her dignity in front of Haman.

Yorktown was startled awake by You Ran's pinch. She hadn't expected herself to be so bold, nor had she expected the commander to be so bold. Her face had been flushed with an alluring red glow. After calming down, Yorktown quickly added, "Yes, yes, the commander is right. Little Harman, did you hear that? You can't say things like that again, or I'll spank you with the commander."

"Um..."
