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

Generally speaking, a normal person will reach their limit after soaking in a hot spring for about 20 minutes, and will gradually experience symptoms such as dry mouth and chest tightness.

But You Ran is no longer a normal person, so she naturally ignores this situation. As for the ship girls, there are quite a few who fall asleep while soaking in the water.

You Ran had even heard that Sardinian ship girls usually take baths for hours on end, and she didn't know if it was just a few ship girls or the whole of Sardinian.

Just as she was thinking, You Ran suddenly felt the sound of water entering the water all around her. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a ship girl wrapped in a bath towel with long, pale green hair, holding a rose in her mouth, and then presenting it to her.

"The most beautiful flowers are offered to the most beautiful you."

After speaking, Vittorio looked at the commander in front of her with a surprised expression and knew that the commander was now deeply infatuated with her.

You Ran: "..."

Are you trying to be awkward...?

"Uh... thank you." After thinking for a long time, You Ran still didn't know how to reply, so in the end, she could only manage to utter this sentence.

"Commander, I am Rome, the rightful heir to the will of Romulus, and the ship girl destined to conquer you in the future..." Standing with her hands on her hips in front of You Ran, Rome originally wanted to show more of her imposing manner, but for a moment she didn't dare to look You Ran in the eye, so as the balance shifted, she quickly deflated in the end.

Seeing this, You Ran naturally recognized the ship girl in front of him who, like Atago, had tried to conquer him head-on many times. However, seeing that she seemed to have completely lost her previous momentum after several failures, You Ran immediately comforted her:

"Okay, okay, I got it. Actually, there's no need to be so formal. You guys are making me a little uncomfortable. Although we haven't been in touch much before, it might be because I've been busy with work, but we've been together for so many years now. There's no need to make it feel like we're meeting for the first time."

As she spoke, You Ran noticed that Empire had taken out a box of snacks from her ship equipment and started eating them. She couldn't help but go over and pinch Empire's greedy cheeks. She then took two macarons from the box before continuing, "Learn from your sister. I prefer Empire to be more natural."

"Commander, that's the Empire's last remaining food reserves. If you continue to squander it like this, our mighty Empire will starve to death..."

She had refrained from eating it the whole way, but as soon as she opened the box, You Ran took two pieces, as if afraid that the commander didn't know how precious the Empire's food was now. After emphasizing this, the Empire looked at the only four desserts left in the box, and then reluctantly took one out and placed it in You Ran's hand, "This is the last one. If the commander is still not satisfied, then why don't we just eat the Empire?"

Hearing this, Vittorio glanced at the Empire beside her with some surprise. To be honest, sometimes she really didn't know if her younger sister was genuinely dull or just pretending.

"In that case, has the Empire figured out how it will be devoured?" You Ran couldn't help but tease.

“Commander, you... you actually want to devour the magnificent Empire, but that's not allowed. If the Empire is devoured by you now, Veneto will be heartbroken tonight because she won't see you. However... if you're really curious about what the Empire tastes like, and just want to lick it, the Empire can accept that.”

As he was about to extend his arm, Empire suddenly became curious and licked himself first. It seemed to have no taste, so he extended his arm in front of You Ran.

"Alright, I was just joking, the Empire doesn't need to take it to heart." At this moment, You Ran just wanted to say that the Empire had reached out to the wrong place. After all, if it were in a different place, You Ran might have hesitated, but it was indeed a bit tasteless to stick to an arm, so You Ran quickly smiled and said.

After all, he didn't want any strange fetishes to circulate in the port area the next day.

"Alright then..." Upon hearing the commander's words, the Empire quickly withdrew its arm.

"This is... Sakura Empire's research ship, Azuma, right? Excuse me, I've disturbed your hot spring bath with the Commander."

Seeing that the Empire and the Commander had finished talking, Vittorio looked at the ship girl in the Commander's arms and said.

"No, there aren't many ship girls yet, so it hasn't come to that point. Besides, I've gotten used to soaking in the hot springs here. As long as the Commander doesn't mind, it's fine."

Rather than being a disturbance, it was more like a perfectly timed event. My wife had been waiting for an opportunity, and now, seeing the Vittorio sisters arrive, she knew that the opportunity might have finally come.

“In that case, we won’t bother you any longer.” Vittorio then looked at You Ran, “Commander, my sister and I are taking a bath over there. Feel free to call us if you need anything~”

You Ran nodded and said, "Yes, I won't hesitate to help if there's such a need."

Seeing that the commander agreed, Vittorio pulled the Roman and Imperial figures, who were seemingly lost in thought, to a spot where they could be seen but not too far away, and they sat down at just the right distance.

Just after the three sisters left, You Ran was about to close her eyes again when she suddenly noticed that Wu Qi seemed to want to change her position slightly, so she suddenly shifted her body.

But it would have been better if he hadn't moved. Once he did, You Ran realized that the bath towel around his waist had disappeared without him noticing. Upon realizing this, it was as if a seal had been broken, and You Ran suddenly realized how alluring his wife's body was at that moment.

"My wife, if you keep moving around like this, something bad will happen." You Ran felt that she was about to lose control.

"If the Commander wishes, Azuma is fine with whatever he wants." After moving a couple more times, she stopped. Although Azuma wanted to become closer to the Commander, she had no intention of forcing him. Therefore, Azuma was just expressing her opinion, but whether it would be implemented in the end depended on You Ran's opinion.

But after a short while, feeling the heat that was even hotter than a hot spring, Azuma knew in her heart that the Commander had given his answer. So without any hesitation, Azuma's next words were full of temptation: "Commander~ There is a lot of fog here, Vittorio and the others can't see us."

Initially, considering Wuqi's feelings, You Ran was thinking about whether to go to a private room to resolve the matter, but since Wuqi had already said so, You Ran naturally had no reason to refuse.

"Hmm~!"

Soon, after a long and arduous search, she finally found a starting point for the research. Suppressing her joy, she began to investigate the significance of water resistance...

......

"Sister Vittorio, do the Sakura Empire ship girls have the habit of taking baths and exercising?"

On the other side, the Empire, who was eating snacks, suddenly noticed something and asked with some confusion.

"Well... I don't think so. Hot springs are places for ship girls to relax, and they usually wouldn't choose to train here. By the way, why did you ask that?" Vittorio replied casually, preoccupied with figuring out how to get the commander to agree to try the baths in Sardinia as well.

"Hmm... But isn't that Sakura Empire ship girl training in the hot spring right now? Hmm... Could it be that the Empire made a mistake?" the Empire asked, puzzled.

"Which one?" After hearing what the Empire said, Vittorio became curious. He had thought there were other ship girls in this hot spring, but when Vittorio looked in the direction the Empire was pointing, he realized that the Empire was pointing in the direction of the commander.

Then, seeing Azuma bobbing up and down in the mist as if doing some kind of exercise, Vittorio's eyes widened in disbelief. "This, this is for real!"

"What's real or fake?"

Nearby, Rome, who was sinking into the hot spring and preparing to relax, saw Vittorio's exaggerated reaction and turned his gaze over as well.

The next second, Roma felt as if his back teeth were about to be crushed...

Chapter 88 If you're so good, then you do it!

"It seems my wife has managed to conquer the commander before you have."

After a moment of shock, he recovered and looked at Rome, who were in a similar state, and Littorio made a bitter laugh.

Rome was overwhelmed with mixed feelings and had no idea what to say.

Seeing that Rome remained silent, the Empire comforted her, saying, "It's alright, Rome. At least we're still in the same hot spring, so you're still very involved."

Hearing the Empire's words, Rome couldn't help but give the Empire a flick on the forehead, "Is that how you comfort ship girls?!"

"Ouch...!" Empire immediately clutched his head with both hands. "I was just telling the truth..."

"So telling the truth is the most hurtful thing," Rome said, sounding quite annoyed.

"No, I can't be the only one suffering from this. This shameful day must be etched in the hearts of all Sardinia!"

As he spoke, Rome took out his phone from the ship's equipment, found a suitable angle to take a picture of the scene, and then posted it in the group.

Sardinian Empire Main Group

Rome: "@All members"

Gorizia: "?"

Pola: "?"

Veneto: "?"

Rome: "Pictures."

Rome: "Remember this day, never forget the national humiliation! Today is destined to be a day of shame for Sardinia. I never imagined that our proud baths would one day be defeated by the open-air hot springs of the Sakura Empire. This is a blatant disgrace. Gentlemen, I hope you feel ashamed."

Alfred: "Where is this, a bathhouse? What are you even photographing? It's all foggy, I can't see anything. And Rome, you can't even focus properly, the picture is so blurry!"

Giuseppe: "Download the original image and zoom in. There seem to be two figures in it. The one at the bottom looks like the commander to me!!"

Gorizia: "Huh?! Commander and that ship girl, are they...doing some kind of...doing it?!?!"

Attilio: "Is this really something Attilio should be looking at...?"

Marco Polo: "No, you're just going to stand by and watch? Go and take down the commander!"

Rome: "The commander is having a date and playing around with other ship girls, what's the meaning of me suddenly joining in?"

Marco Polo: "Why do you care about those things now? As long as we capture the commander, we'll set the rules."

Rome: "If you're so good, then you do it. Anyway, I don't want Sardinia to become the public enemy of the port."

Marco Polo: "I'll come, I'll come. Send me the location privately."

Gorizia: "?, why send it privately? Send it in the group and let the capable people participate!"

Marco Polo: "It would be bad if you went and ruined Sardinia's plans, @Rome, hurry up and send me your location."

Rome: "...No, I suddenly feel like it's better for me to do it than for you to."

Marco Polo: "What kind of talk is that? I'm Sardinia's only research ship! Don't you even know what the value of a top-tier design is? And where am I inferior to Rome?"

Rome: "At least I still feel somewhat involved, no matter what. What do you have?"

Marco Polo: "You, you're really not that capable! If it were me, I'd be the one stuck with the Commander right now."

Rome: "That's enough! If you really had that ability, how come you haven't even touched a commander's hand in thirty years?!"

Marco Polo: "How could I not have touched it? I... I touched it when I was the secretary ship and handed water to the commander last time!"

Gorizia: "Judging from what you just said, I thought you were very brave, Marco Polo. You're not even as good as me. Last time I almost fell in the command room, the commander helped me up. Hehe, I still remember the feeling of the commander's hand touching me."

Rome: "What clown??"

......

While Rome was chatting in a group, Littorio immersed himself in the hot spring, intending to heal his wounded soul.

Meanwhile, the Empire, after carefully finishing the last piece of pastry, intended to stop there and enjoy the hot spring.

But just as the Empire sank its body, with only half its head showing, it suddenly noticed a tempting macaron floating on the water not far away.

Upon seeing this, the Empire's eyes lit up almost instantly. Upon closer inspection, they realized that the pastry seemed to have floated over from the direction of the commander.

Immediately, the empire felt a strong sense of condemnation for the commander's wasteful behavior, and adhering to the principle of not wasting food, they slowly moved towards the snacks...

......

"Commander~ No, my wife, um~! My wife can't hold on much longer..."

As for You Ran, from initially exercising voluntarily to now exercising passively, as time went by, Wu Qi knew in her heart that she was about to reach her limit, so she took the initiative to tell You Ran about her situation.

After all, Azuma knew in her heart that if she called a halt now, the Commander might feel a little uncomfortable for a while, but if she could recover, she might be able to hold on a little longer. However, if she really lost consciousness later, then the Commander might feel even more uncomfortable.

In fact, if Essex hadn't spoken up last night, my wife might have chosen to hold on until the very last second before losing consciousness.

But given the Essex case, Azuma naturally wouldn't make the same mistake again.

Moreover, this is not the same as being indoors; it would be too embarrassing to just faint like that.

"My wife just said anything was fine, so why is it not okay now?"
