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

No, no, no way!!!

Commander, how could the Commander possibly reply to Noshiro!

It must be another ship girl who happened to be sending a message to Noshiro right now. Yes, it's just a coincidence, that must be it.

Thinking this through, Sakebori breathed a sigh of relief, then slowly turned his gaze towards...

Immediately afterwards, Sakae clearly saw the Commander's familiar avatar and the reply below it.

You Ran: "What's wrong?"

Commander actually replied?!

Sakabo stared dumbfounded at the message from the commander on Noshiro's phone.

"See, they're back now."

Noshiro thought it would take some time for the commander to reply, but she didn't expect him to reply so quickly. Seeing this, Noshiro suddenly felt a little sweet.

"This, this must be because the phone is still in the hands of that prankster ship girl, otherwise, given the Commander's personality, why would he reply to the message! Yes... yes! That must be it!"

Even so, she still couldn't believe it, and Sakabo tried to make a final struggle.

“But…” Although she felt that the possibility of this guess was not high, Nobuyo thought about it and still tried to probe a little.

Noshiro: "It's nothing, I just haven't seen you in a long time, Commander, and I suddenly missed you a bit~"

Yu Ran: "I miss Noshiro too. Speaking of which, I also have something I want to apologize to Noshiro about. The other night when you were under the table, I searched for a long time but couldn't find a good place to let go, so I just grabbed your corner. Now that I think about it, I must have hurt you."

???

It's true... everything Noshiro-nee said before was actually true!

Upon seeing this message, Sakabo completely broke down.

Unlike those forum posts where people laugh and talk about being "broken down," this is different from the kind of "breaking down" that happens in general.

The sake brewery is now truly broken down.

She never imagined that the commander, who was as cold as an ice block in the past, would one day actually accept other ship girls.

Not to mention that this ship girl is none other than her closest older sister!

And the whole thing started because of a jokingly encouraging comment she made after seeing a message in the group chat that day...

Thinking of this, Shu Niang felt extremely sad.

Not to mention that the thought of making a bet with Noshiro-nee just now made Sakabo feel even worse. She felt like she had been thrown into the deepest abyss and had been completely abandoned by the world.

So, it turns out, I was once so close to the Commander...

After learning the truth, Sakabo is now filled with endless regret.

Unaware of the profound change in Sakura's heart at that moment, which was now enveloped in sweetness, Noshiro continued to send messages to the Commander.

Noshiro: "Well, that kind of thing is okay. Being held by the Commander, I... I actually feel quite comfortable..."

You Ran: "Aren't you angry? Then why didn't Neng Dai come to see me yesterday? He didn't even send a single message. I thought Neng Dai was angry with you."

Noshiro: "No! Really no! Actually, I wanted to see the Commander last night, but... but Sakura was sick, so I didn't go to see the Commander to take care of her."

Watching Noshiro and the Commander's sweet interaction with utter despair, Sakabo had already given up on everything, but when Noshiro mentioned her, Sakabo slightly raised her head, and a glimmer of hope inexplicably ignited in her heart.

She suddenly wanted to see how the commander really viewed her...

You Ran: "Sick?! How could this happen? Is it serious? Should I go see a doctor?"

In that brief moment, Sakawa had imagined that the Commander would ignore her, despise her, and think she was a coward and a burden.

But when he saw this message, Sakabo was completely stunned.

Commander, the Commander actually cares about me?!

The commander actually felt sorry for me!

I knew it! I knew the Commander had always loved me!

Happiness came too suddenly, and Sakawa didn't know how to express her feelings. She wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. It was as if she had just been thrown into the eighteenth level of hell, and felt that the whole world was dark and there was no hope of living. But when she was in despair, the commander brought a ray of light to illuminate his world, and then took her hand and brought her back to heaven.

If it weren't for curiosity about what the commander would say next, Sakabo would have already run to the command room.

Noshiro: "No, no, I think she should be almost better by now."

Looking at Sakano, who had suddenly jumped under his right arm from the very beginning and was staring at his phone screen and grinning like an idiot, Noshiro typed out these words without hesitation.

Yu Ran: "But the illness that made Noshiro stay behind to take care of it must be very serious. As the commander, it was already an oversight that I didn't know. Now that I know, I should go and see it even more."

Noshiro: "No need, really no need. Sakebori is just feeling down and needs someone to keep her company. Besides, it's so late, she should be asleep by now. Commander, you really don't need to come."

You Ran: "That makes sense. It's getting late today. How about this, tomorrow's Saturday, I don't have to work, I'll go check out the wine shop then."

"This..." Noshiro originally wanted to refuse, but when she saw that the Commander was coming to her house, she couldn't help but hesitate.

"Agree, Noshiro-nee, agree quickly!" Before Noshiro could even make up her mind, Sakura couldn't help but urge her.

"But... but if you say that, wouldn't you really be deceiving the Commander?" Noshiro was still a little hesitant.

"No~! Where did it come from? How can this be called lying? At most, it's just a little trick to get us closer to the Commander. Besides, I was really upset just now. If you let the Commander go like this, I would really be heartbroken!"

"Noshiro-nee~! Please, please~ just agree!"

Sakabo nuzzled against Noshiro's arm and began to launch a coquettish offensive.

Completely unmoved by this, Noshiro was still struggling with her decision when her phone beeped. The two sisters looked over and saw that it was the latest message from the Commander.

You Ran: "Then it's settled. I have something to do, so I won't talk to Neng Dai for now."

"Yay~!" Upon seeing the message, Sakabo was so happy she almost jumped up on the spot.

Noshiro: "Well then, Noshiro will say goodnight to the Commander here."

You Ran: "Good night. I hope you can go to sleep early too. See you tomorrow."

Given the situation, Noshiro had no choice but to go along with it, since the allure of the commander was simply too great for her to resist.

Although she felt like she had forgotten something, Noshiro couldn't help but feel happy at the thought of the Commander coming to her house tomorrow.

"Um... haha, Noshiro-nee, I want to talk to you about something~"

Seeing that Noroshi put away his phone, Sakebori immediately pressed against him.

"Now you want to discuss things with me? No way." Having already given Sakano many chances, Nobuyo refused decisively.

"Oh my gosh! Noshiro-neechan! My dear sister, you're the best!"

......

......

P.S.: My wife appeared to me in a dream in the middle of the night saying she didn't want to be cut in line anymore, so I slightly changed the beginning. It's no longer a single day off; now it's a two-day weekend, so I have to work on Mondays in Essex.

Chapter 51 Belfast, no longer confident.

"Commander? Is there something on Belfast that's been staring at me?"

In the lounge of the port area, Yu Ran had just finished replying to Noshiro's message after dinner when he saw Belfast cleaning in front of him. He couldn't help but stare at her for a while, but unexpectedly, Belfast pointed him out.

"Yeah, there is something there." With his skin getting thicker and thicker, You Ran said confidently.

"Really? Where...?" Belfast looked down and searched for a long time but couldn't find any stain.

“Right there.” You Ran pointed randomly to a spot, “on his body, that big patch.”

"This..." Belfast looked in the direction the commander was pointing and examined it again. After repeatedly confirming that there was nothing on the maid outfit, she suddenly seemed to understand what the commander meant.

"It seems there's something here..." Belfast said, pretending to ponder for a moment, then unzipped a certain part of her outfit, which fell to the ground. A blush flashed across her face as she stepped over the maid outfit and stood in front of You Ran. "Now? Master~ please take a closer look for me."

"Ahem, well... since Belfast has put it that way, I'll reluctantly take a look for you." Originally, she just wanted to tease Belfast, but she really didn't expect it to be interpreted this way. However, looking at the white expanse in front of her, You Ran couldn't refuse for the time being.

No matter how many times she looked at it, she was still amazed. After carefully admiring Belfast from head to toe, You Ran continued, "There's nothing wrong with the outside, but the blind spots need to be checked carefully. Belfast, come here, let me take another look."

"Yes, Master..."

Feeling the commander's burning gaze, Belfast felt hot all over, but despite this, her body still obediently walked over.

……

……

The next day, thanks to the thorough examination the night before, You Ran felt refreshed as soon as she woke up.

Perhaps because he was too tired last night, or perhaps because he was holding her too tightly, Belfast surprisingly fell asleep in his arms this time.

Seeing Belfast, who used to handle things with ease and confidence, lying in her arms like a child, You Ran found the contrast incredibly endearing.

You Ran stared at the adorable Belfast for a while, until Belfast's beautiful eyelashes trembled slightly and then slowly opened her eyes. You Ran smiled gently in response.

"Sorry, you must have been exhausted last night."

"No, no, these are just things Belfast should do."

Upon waking up, Belfast found the Commander looking at her. After a moment of embarrassment, she gradually calmed down. However, looking at her beloved master in front of her, Belfast couldn't help but recall the events of last night, and suddenly felt a little insecure.

After all, Belfast thought that after the first time, she could completely satisfy the commander after a while.

But she didn't know why, but last night she felt even more intensely than before. Although she didn't faint like the first time, as her brain was consumed by that forbidden pleasure that was both physical and mental, Belfast gradually forgot everything. In the end, her state of being unable to think at all was no different from fainting.

Recalling the sensation at that time, Belfast felt her body tremble uncontrollably just thinking about it, and she already felt something.

Now, Belfast felt as if she had transformed into the Commander's form, and her body was becoming more and more sensitive each time.

If she continues to be endlessly exploited by the Commander, she might really lose her composure and become a wretched maid who would break down at the slightest touch from the Commander.

Although she was still a little unwilling, Belfast had to admit that being intimate with the commander was a complete taboo for her, or rather, for all ship girls.

Under that intense pleasure of physical and mental fusion, Belfast did not believe that any ship girl could remain rational while being intimate with the commander.

It seems she can't possibly satisfy the Commander on her own; next time she'll have to bring her sisters along...

Belfast, nestled in You Ran's arms, couldn't help but think of something like a proud little beast that had been completely tamed.
