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

"Um... Commander, if other ship girls saw you like this, they'd definitely think you're a pervert..."

Lying on You Ran's lap, her body already limp and powerless, despite feeling extremely ashamed, Shu Niang could only watch helplessly as the commander lifted her thighs one by one and then slowly removed the piece of cloth beneath her.

Looking at the commander who was currently playing with her own fabric, Sakabo couldn't help but blush and say something.

"By the way, where did you buy this? Do you have ship girls selling this kind of thing in our port?" You Ran suddenly asked curiously.

"Yes, I bought it from Akashi. Actually, I was just passing by, but Akashi insisted on pulling me aside to introduce it to me. She said that her underwear was not selling well and asked me to help her out. I, out of kindness, bought one."

Akashi suddenly realized that selling lingerie in the port area was a failed investment.

"Then, I thought, since I've already bought it, it would be a waste not to wear it, so... so that's how it ended up..."

Sakebori spoke softer and softer until she finally fell completely silent.

"What's the point of covering it up? It's the same whether you're wearing it or not." Looking at the wine bottle in front of her, which was trying to pull down the hem of its skirt, You Ran couldn't help but laugh and said, "Besides, if you hadn't gotten it wet yourself, I wouldn't have taken it off."

"It's different, it's different no matter how you look at it, at least, at least the psychological effect is different."

In the mind of a sake bottle, wearing something is wearing something, and not wearing something is not wearing something. These are completely different concepts. Therefore, even if it is a small piece of fabric that cannot cover anything, in the mind of a sake bottle, it is considered wearing something.

"Ouch~!" In her haste to tug at her skirt, she accidentally bumped her bottom. Shugao didn't know why, but while the Commander's touch was perfectly fine and even felt comfortable, it hurt terribly when she touched it herself. Tears instantly welled up in her eyes, and Shugao couldn't help but whine, "Commander, it hurts~"

"I told you to tell me if you push too hard, but you wouldn't listen." You Ran glanced at Jiu Niang with annoyance and continued, "Should I go to the infirmary and get you some medicine to apply?"

"No, Commander, just massage it for me." Not wanting Yuran to leave her now, I said with a slightly flushed face.

"You must tell me if you hit me hard this time." Looking at the overlapping red handprints on the cute buttocks in front of him, even though it was Jiu Niang who made it, You Ran still felt a little guilty when he thought that he was the one who hit him.

"Um......"

Soon, seeing Jiu Niang nod, You Ran also placed her hand on it.

For some reason, as she rubbed it, You Ran suddenly thought of the big, fat buttocks of New Jersey.

If it were in New Jersey, his hand would definitely go numb after a slap, right?

You Ran suddenly became curious.

"Ugh~ Commander~! I... I told you to rub my butt, ugh~ where exactly are you rubbing......!"

As You Ran moved, the sake bottle, which had been barely able to hold back its feelings, finally erupted at this moment. Without any external obstruction, it lay on You Ran's lap and soon transformed into an indoor viewing fountain.

......

Chapter Fifty-Six: The Most Reluctant Strike

After some time, he finally managed to calm Shugao down. Perhaps she hadn't slept well the night before, or perhaps she was too tired. After they finished, Shugao savored the afterglow of the experience and drifted off to sleep on his lap.

After barely drying off the water stains, You Ran carried Sakura to a spot on the bed that was still dry and closer to the inside. After covering her with a blanket, You Ran waited a while and, seeing that Sakura had really fallen asleep, quietly left the bedroom.

However, as soon as she came out, she saw Noshiro sitting on the ground leaning against the door frame. After carefully closing the door, Yuran couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. "Noshiro? What are you doing sitting at the door?"

"Commander! I...I was just a little tired, so I sat down to rest for a while." Noshiro was startled when the commander suddenly walked out of the house without making a sound. She instinctively tried to get up, but found that her legs were still weak. A blush crept up her ears, and Noshiro lowered her head, only able to stammer and find an excuse for herself.

"If you're tired, go back inside and rest. What if you catch a cold sitting here?" You Ran said helplessly. "Speaking of which, where's your sister?"

"Sister, sister has already gone back to her room to rest..."

As she spoke, Noshiro felt a pang of regret. She wished she had gone back to her room to calm down like her sister, otherwise the Commander wouldn't have seen her in such a sorry state.

"Have you already gone back to your room? Where is Noshiro's room? Let me take you back."

"No, no need, I'll wait, um~"

Noshiro was already feeling ashamed enough. Hearing the commander's words, she wanted to refuse, but before she could finish speaking, she felt herself being lifted up and enveloped by the commander's aura. Noshiro then realized that she couldn't refuse at all, so she could only blush and hug You Ran's neck.

"It's right there, in the middle of the aisle." Leaning against You Ran's chest, Noshiro looked quite petite and dependent.

Noshiro's room was right next to the sake house, so they weren't far apart. Soon, Yuran carried Noshiro into the room.

After laying Noshiro flat on the bed, You Ran clapped her hands and said, "Alright, Noshiro, you should rest now. It'll be noon soon. Noshiro, you've prepared so many bento boxes for me, so today I'll show you my cooking skills."

"Hmm... But, wouldn't this be too much trouble for you, Commander..." Although she was really looking forward to it, Noshiro was still a little embarrassed.

You Ran smiled and said, "I just hope you won't say it tastes bad later."

"How could that be! Anything the Commander makes, no matter how bad it tastes to me—no, that's not right, I should say that anything that tastes bad to me will become a delicacy to Noshiro once it passes through the Commander's hands!"

Fearing that the commander might lose confidence in him, the deputy spoke with great conviction.

"What you're saying is definitely a bit of an exaggeration." Hearing Noshiro's praise, You Ran was a little amused. "Alright, Noshiro, you can just wait here quietly for a while. You'll find out whether it's delicious or not in a bit."

As she spoke, You Ran rubbed Noshiro's head again, then turned and walked out.

Watching the commander's retreating figure, Noshiro couldn't help but feel a sweet warmth in her heart.

After the commander left, she lay in bed and couldn't help but let her mind wander for a while. Unconsciously, she reached for her phone on the bedside table and suddenly remembered the post she had made yesterday.

Right! It's time to give everyone a definite answer.

Now that the commander has arrived, there's no intention to just let him go. Although she's still a little nervous, Noshiro doesn't want to miss such a good opportunity.

After opening her phone, Noshiro quickly found the post she had made earlier. Just as she was about to take this opportunity to express her firm determination, she discovered that her post from yesterday was still getting a lot of replies from ship girls. Noshiro became curious and started scrolling through it...

......

Royal Oak: "Do you guys think the original poster succeeded or not? Didn't he say he'd give it a try yesterday? Why is there still no result?"

San Francisco: "I don't know, but judging from the current situation, it seems to have failed. They're probably deep in self-reproach somewhere right now."

Royal Oak: "How pathetic... So that proves we still can't look the Commander in the eye?"

Fearless: "So you really want to rape the Commander!"

Royal Oak: "No, no, no, no! I, how could I possibly have such thoughts! I just... just wanted to confirm..."

Formidable: "Alright, go ahead and think about it. It's not a big deal. I dare say that most of the ship girls in the port have this idea. It would be a bit abnormal if they didn't."

San Francisco: "You know what, it actually makes sense."

Atago: "Eh~! I'm different, I want the Commander to rape me??"

Essex: "You guys... are getting more and more outrageous. I'm really afraid that one day you'll turn the forum into a banning platform."

San Francisco: "Huh? But wasn't the point of creating this forum to make it easier for us to rant to the Commander? If we were really just going to talk about everyday things, wouldn't we be off to Juus?"

Essex: "What you said actually makes a lot of sense... I don't know how to refute it for a moment..."

Veneto: "Hey, stop worrying about that! Look at Onii-chan's new work! The little commander drawn based on the commander's image is just too cute!"

Veneto: "Pictures, pictures."

Formidable: "The commander as a child, so cute!?"

Royal Oak: "Wow~! So cute~!"

San Francisco: "Great, great, the new XP has awakened."

Atago: "The most difficult time I've ever attempted this."

Veneto: "?"

Cheshire: "?"

San Francisco: "?"

Royal Ark: "Little, little commander??????!!! Hehehe??????! I was just thinking about it before, but now that I've seen the picture, I understand why I like the commander so much! It turns out there's a reason for all of this! Everyone, I really love the commander!! But why didn't I meet the commander before he grew up??????! Can any of you travel back in time and create the commander earlier, or rather, create me earlier! A little commander like this, who looks like a kitten, should have been eaten by his mother from birth??????!"

Cheshire: "This one is even more heavyweight."

Royal Ark: "No way! I'm going to have Akashi make a custom-made body pillow based on this picture right now. It'll definitely make sleeping with it even sweeter!"

Bremerton: "Get me one too!"

Royal Oak: +1

Lützow: "+1"

Formidable: +1

Lino: "Since you've already ordered it, why don't you add some red tips and just buy a life-size figure of the Commander? Besides touching and looking at it, you can also exercise at the same time, killing two birds with one stone."

Veneto: "?!!"

Veneto: "Detailed figurines."

Fearful: "Detailed fitness training."

Atago: "A dual-purpose word."

Royal Oak: "You guys be normal... I'm scared..."

Lino: "Ahem, well, I can't go into details, the post will get blocked. I'm still waiting for the original poster's result."

Seeing this, I was initially a little curious about how the figures could get fit enough to represent so many ship girls waiting for their results, so I stopped reading and started typing...

Chapter 57 If you have this ability, why would you do this?

Noshiro: "Don't worry, tonight, or at the latest tomorrow night, there will definitely be a result."

Royal Oak: "Oh! It's the original poster! So you haven't even made a move yet? Doesn't that mean it's too early to draw conclusions?"

Noshiro: "Yeah, something came up yesterday and I was delayed until now."

New Jersey: "So you know where the Commander is? I couldn't find him in the command room. Belfast said he went out, but she wouldn't tell me his exact location. That wretched maid, once I become the Commander's married ship, I'll definitely whisper sweet nothings in his ear tonight!"

After receiving encouragement from the commander yesterday, he started writing a self-criticism and copying the port rules overnight. He only just finished copying the port rules ten times. Carrying a thick stack of papers, New Jersey rushed to the command room without stopping, thinking that he would be praised by the commander for this. Who knew that he would be disappointed.

Now, sitting in the command room, New Jersey was thinking of going to the lounge to lie on the bed and wait for the commander, but as soon as he stepped in with his left foot, Belfast kicked him out on the grounds that the soles of his shoes were too dirty and would affect the commander's resting environment.

New Jersey had originally intended to give it her all, but for some reason she felt a little guilty in front of Belfast, and in the end she could only retreat dejectedly.
