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

Actually, Essex originally wanted to refuse, but after hesitating for a moment, she finally agreed. It wasn't that she really wanted to give other ship girls a chance, as Cheshire said. After all, Essex didn't think she was that generous.

The thought that if she stayed overnight, she would inevitably have some intimate contact with the commander was just too much to bear.

Recalling the blissful moment she spent being intimate with the commander this morning, Essex suddenly felt her body go limp.

Even now, Essex still can't forget the pleasure that almost melted her brain.

Especially the moment she sat down, the sweet pain and the deadly pleasure mingled together, and the unprecedented extreme sensation in her body and mind almost made Essex faint on the spot.

And that was indeed the case; although she managed to hold on for a few more breaths, Essex eventually lost consciousness.

Essex is still unsure how to face the commander about this matter.

Since the commander didn't mention it, Essex, who felt extremely ashamed about it, naturally didn't bring it up herself.

So, regarding the question of whether to stay tonight, Essex, though eager, still had to consider whether she could withstand the Commander's forbidden pleasure.

She had already fainted once that morning. If she fainted again tonight, not only would the commander be uncomfortable, but she would also definitely lose confidence.

Furthermore, she was still experiencing a dull ache in her lower body, so Essex wanted to wait until she recovered from the initial excitement before seeking an opportunity to satisfy the Commander again.

Since she can't get over her own hurdle for the time being, it would indeed be a bit unreasonable for her to also hold other ship girls back.

After all, while she wasn't that generous, she wasn't that selfish either.

However... I wonder where I stand compared to the other ship girls...

Essex suddenly became curious.

"Is my cooking not good?"

Just as Essex was lost in thought, a familiar voice rang in her ears. At first, she didn't quite catch it, but after a moment of surprise, Essex quickly praised it:

"It's delicious! It's really delicious! Commander, your cooking skills are much better than Vestal's. How could it not be delicious!"

"Then why aren't you eating your food or drinking your soup? What are you thinking about the whole time?" You Ran put down her chopsticks and looked at Essex, who had been either playing on her phone or spacing out since the beginning, and said with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Um... I, I just..."

dong dong dong-

Just as Essex was hesitating about how to explain to You Ran, a knock on the door outside successfully interrupted their thoughts.

Immediately afterwards, a sweet, intimate shout came from outside the door, which was very intimate to You Ran.

"Honey~! Are you inside~?"

Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Battle for Commander

Hearing the shouts outside, You Ran felt the voices were somewhat familiar. She walked over and had just opened the door when she suddenly felt a dark figure pounce into her arms. After taking a step back to steady herself, You Ran looked at the ship girl in her arms and recognized her.

"Chai... County?"

Indeed, although many ship girls in the port have specific nicknames for themselves, it seems that only Cheshire often calls herself "darling".

"Hehehe~! My darling recognized me." Nestled in the commander's arms, Cheshire had only intended to test the commander's attitude to see if her darling would avoid her.

Seeing that the commander not only caught her in his arms but also didn't seem to mind at all, Cheshire was so excited that she couldn't help but rub her head against You Ran's chest.

“Alright, the Commander is still eating. Cheshire, you need to learn to stop.” Seeing Cheshire come in so early, Essex, who was already somewhat dissatisfied, quickly came over and said.

After all, it wouldn't matter what happened to her if she left, but she was still here. Seeing Cheshire and the Commander so intimate, Essex felt a little jealous, so she quickly stepped forward and took You Ran's arm to free her.

"Hehe, it's just that I haven't seen my darling for a while, and I've been missing her a bit~"

Essex had taken one of his hands, so Cheshire naturally wouldn't let the other go. He crossed his arms and rubbed them against his chest, saying with great enjoyment.

Seeing this, Essex pulled You Ran closer to her, realizing that she had been too careless after getting the Commander. She hadn't dodged, and she shouldn't have agreed to Cheshire's offer. She was now letting a wolf into the house!

"So, Cheshire, is there something you need from me?"

Pulled between Essex and Cheshire on either side, You Ran suddenly felt a bit overwhelmed, so she could only ask helplessly.

"Well... well, of course it's because I saw that you didn't have any maids to serve you, so I made a special trip over here."

They couldn't really say that Essex gave them the opportunity, so Cheshire quickly made up a reason, although it was indeed true.

"How is it? How is it? Darling, aren't you very touched right now?" Cheshire asked, shaking You Ran's arm again.

Don't dare to move. Don't dare to move.

Listening to Cheshire's words, You Ran felt that Essex was even hugging him tighter, and then he realized that Essex might be a potential jealous person.

In response, You Ran could only offer a wry smile, "It's good that you have this intention, but it doesn't seem like there's anything we really need Cheshire's help with right now..."

"What do you mean there isn't?! Honey, don't push yourself so hard. It's one thing to cook and eat by yourself, but are you planning to wash the dishes later?! That's going too far! Do you even respect us maids?!"

Cheshire's words were delivered with such conviction that You Ran was completely at a loss for words. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cheshire immediately feigned anger and said:

"Really, this is unforgivable! I never imagined that you, my dear, didn't take care of your own body and just let him work so hard. So I've made a decision! From today onwards, I will stay by your side at all times until you change these bad habits!"

"Alright, alright, Belfast hasn't said anything, so you, a half-baked maid, should shut up." Having listened for so long, Essex finally couldn't take it anymore and didn't hesitate to expose her.

After all, if this were a forum or group chat, Essex would have already posted a message like "sweating like a soybean".

"How can you say I'm only half-baked?!" Cheshire exploded. "Through continuous learning and hard work, I have now successfully gained the approval of all the maids, including Belfast!"

"Those things are useless. And if we're talking about recognition, you'll never be a qualified maid if you don't get the commander's approval. But if you do get the commander's approval, then I'll be a maid even if I'm not one."

As she spoke, Essex suddenly blushed and tugged at You Ran's arm again, "You agree, right, Master... Master~"

"No way! Darling, don't listen to her charlatan talk. As a maid, gaining the master's approval is just the most basic requirement. Besides that, you must also have high professional skills, otherwise you will only be letting down the trust you have placed in you."

"You agree, darling."

You Ran: "..."

"I think you both have your reasons, so I won't comment further. Okay, let go of each other's hands now, I'm going to eat," You Ran said helplessly.

"Darling~! I already told you to get rid of these bad habits. You should have just ordered Cheshire to feed you." Despite her reluctance, she still couldn't bring herself to obey.

"Alright, stop changing the subject. The commander said you should let go of his hand first."

"It means you need to let go of Essex's hand."

The group chat is one thing, and reality is another. Although Cheshire was very grateful to Essex in the group chat, she naturally wanted to try to win her over now.

After all, there was nothing he could do about it. Being able to let her touch and rub against him, his sweet and soft darling was a fatal temptation for Cheshire. Moreover, the opportunity was rare, and Cheshire didn't want to miss any chance to have intimate contact with his darling.

"It means you two should let go of each other's hands."

Originally, she wanted to resolve the dispute between the two gently, but seeing that Cheshire and Essex were both unyielding, Yu Ran finally had no choice but to give them both a flick on the head.

"Honestly, can't you two stop bickering?"

With those two blows, Essex and Cheshire naturally became much more obedient, and with their arms successfully freed, You Ran was able to escape and quickly returned to the dining table to sit down.

"So, does Cheshire know how to brew black tea?"

“Black tea? Of course!” Cheshire replied immediately.

"Then make me a cup." Feeling that the two should separate for a while to cool off, You Ran made the arrangement directly.

“Okay! Then please wait a moment, my dear. I’ll be right back after I borrow the kitchen.” Cheshire replied excitedly.

After Cheshire entered the kitchen, You Ran couldn't help but pinch Essex's cheek and said, "You're usually such a cool and aloof ship girl, how come you're acting like a little kid now, getting so jealous?"

"Woo..."

Listening to the commander's words, Essex suddenly realized that she might have been a bit naive just now.

But there was nothing she could do about it. Essex didn't know why, but whenever she saw the commander being intimate with other ship girls in front of her, she couldn't accept it and couldn't find any reason to explain it. So Essex could only lower her head with a slightly flushed face and remain silent.

P.S.: Yet another champion of staying up all night?!

Chapter 80 Cheshire Wants to Put His Theoretical Knowledge into Practice

"This is your black tea, Master. Please enjoy..."

Just as You Ran was chatting casually with Essex, a serious voice suddenly came from beside him. You Ran turned around and found that Cheshire was standing in front of him with tea in hand.

Taking the red tea and looking at the Cheshire tea in front of her, You Ran said, quite annoyed, "Where did you learn that tone from?"

“I learned it from the maids, hehe~ How does it feel, darling? Does it look like me?” Cheshire replied immediately.

"Your tone and posture are alright, but the most crucial element, the black tea, is still a bit lacking in finesse, though it's still not bad." Taking a sip of the black tea, You Ran could clearly sense that it was somewhat inferior to the black tea brewed by Belfast, but she still gave it a slight compliment.

"Oh dear~ there's nothing I can do about it. After all, there's just so much to learn as a maid. I'm already trying my best to learn, but..."

“But you spend most of your time surfing the internet, right?” Essex interjected.

“What?! That’s not true!” Cheshire immediately retorted. “It’s just a little hobby I do in my spare time.”

"Oh dear, what I wanted to say was that you've been ignoring me all this time, leaving me no opportunity to serve you. So, although I have plenty of theoretical knowledge now, I still need you to help me put it into practice more~"

As they talked, Cheshire pressed his body against hers again, stretching his head over. You Ran hesitated for a moment, then reached out and stroked Cheshire's head. Looking at Cheshire's blissful expression, You Ran suddenly became curious: "By the way, Cheshire, you're not really a cat, are you? Is it that comfortable?"

"Hmm~ This has nothing to do with whether it's real or fake. It's just that you don't understand your own power over ship girls. Anyway, no matter which ship girl you touch, it will be like this~"

Ever since she was created, she had been yearning for the Commander's touch but had not been able to get it. Fortunately, she had never given up. Although the waiting time was a little long, Cheshire felt extremely satisfied at this moment, feeling the Commander's big hand.

"Is that so?" Although she knew that her ship girls liked to be with her, You Ran was still a little skeptical. After all, they weren't children. It seemed a bit exaggerated that just touching their hair could make a ship girl lose her composure.

So, wanting to put it into practice, You Ran turned her attention to Essex.

Seeing the commander looking over, Essex blushed slightly and quickly waved her hands, "This...this is obviously fake! Commander, don't listen to Cheshire. Only children would think about things like patting heads. I'm a dignified aircraft carrier, I don't do that..."

You Ran had thought so too, but when he put his hand on it and touched it, he saw Essex's expression change instantly, which made him realize how powerful he was now with these ship girls who hadn't received care for a long time.

"Darling, darling~ I'm not left out~ You can't be biased~!"

Seeing the commander stop what he was doing and turn to touch Essex, Cheshire immediately started to whine.

With one in each hand, You Ran soon experienced the pleasure of petting a cat.

dong dong dong-

A little while later, a knock came at the door. You Ran glanced at the time and had a general idea of ​​who it was, so she simply said, "Come in."
