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

Actually, compared to New Jersey and Essex, it was already quite surprising that Azuma could persevere for so long. He stopped giving further instructions, looked at Azuma who was panting heavily in his arms, and said with a light laugh.

"Um... I'm sorry, Azuma underestimated her patience. If the Commander is not satisfied, he can find other ship girls to solve the problem."

After catching her breath, she still felt that she couldn't hold out for more than two rounds in her current condition. However, she didn't want the commander to suffer, so Azuma immediately made a suggestion.

"This situation was started by my wife, so naturally she should take full responsibility."

In truth, my wife had already satisfied most of my desires, and I wasn't that thirsty for it yet. Unless Roma and the other two were to offer themselves to me, I didn't want to turn the situation into a party in this environment.

After all, she had been soaking in the bath for quite some time, and it was an open-air public bath. As it got later, more and more Sakura Empire ship girls would be arriving soon. If she bumped into them, it would be impossible for You Ran not to feel embarrassed.

Chapter 89 The Empire Likes This~

"Hmm... Well, if my wife really faints later, please don't be pitiful, Commander. Just vent your anger on her as you please."

Hearing You Ran say that, Wu's wife felt a little embarrassed and quickly prepared herself to faint. But just as she was about to move, You Ran pressed her down.

"Alright, I have no feelings for the unconscious ship girl. Azuma should rest first."

Seeing that his wife was still trying to force herself on him despite her weak body, You Ran quickly stopped her. After all, he could barely endure it now, and he would naturally calm down after a while. But if he was forced to stop halfway through, that would be really painful for You Ran.

"Well, then..."

Originally, I thought that since the result would be the same anyway, I might as well indulge myself on the commander one last time. But when I heard the commander say that, I felt relieved but also a little regretful.

"Don't think too much about it. My wife just needs to rest now."

As he spoke, You Ran was thinking of taking the two snacks that he hadn't eaten yet from the shore to give to his wife to replenish her energy.

However, just as she turned her head, You Ran quickly noticed that under the hot spring next to her, some bubbles were bubbling up in a very strange way.

Just as You Ran was wondering, a small hand suddenly reached out from the water, and its target was a small snack that had been left on the shore for who knows how long.

Seeing this, he naturally knew the identity of the underwater ship girl. You Ran thought for a moment, then first carried the sleepy Azuma to the side to rest, and then took the remaining macaron in his hand, and then placed it on the shore.

Underwater, after eating the snacks on the surface, they naturally saw another snack placed on the shore next to You Ran. However, fearing being discovered by the commander, the Empire secretly swam over.

After carefully feeling her way to the shore, Empire stretched out her hand and groped around on the bank until she touched something familiar. Her eyes lit up, and she tried to take it with her hand, but for some reason, Empire felt as if there were hands growing on the ground on the bank. The harder she tried, the less she could take it away.

She initially wanted to give up, but then she thought that this might be her last food during her several hours in the hot spring, so the Empire mustered all its strength and was about to uproot the floorboards when an even greater force came from above.

On You Ran's side, she never expected that the Empire would be so persistent about this dessert. With a little effort, You Ran unexpectedly pulled the Empire out of the water.

It performed a spectacular flip in mid-air, completely unaware of what had happened. The empire in the air was so bewildered that it instinctively clutched the macarons in its hands to its chest.

Soon, after flipping about 360 degrees, the Empire felt itself nestled in a warm embrace.

"Commander..." After opening her eyes and looking at the commander who was right in front of her, the bewildered Empire realized that she had suddenly appeared in the commander's arms without knowing when. Her hand was now tightly clasped with the commander's large hand. Upon realizing this, even Empire couldn't help but blush.

But soon, the Empire seemed to suddenly realize something, so it quickly opened its palm and found that the macaron in its hand had already turned into powder due to excessive force.

"The snacks have turned into flour..."

Staring blankly at the crumbs in his hand, Empire suddenly felt even hungrier.

"..."

Looking at the Empire in her arms, the first thing it did after regaining its senses was to check if the pastries in its hand were still there. You Ran didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Empire, have you forgotten what you told me before?"

"What did you say...?" With the mindset of not wasting anything, even though the pastry had turned into crumbs, Empire couldn't resist licking it. After taking a small taste and finding it quite delicious, Empire started licking his palms and then quickly licked the crumbs all the way to You Ran's hands.

"The Empire just said that if the Commander doesn't get enough to eat, they'll have to eat the Empire itself. Actually, these three pastries would have been enough, but I've only managed to eat one. So, I guess I'll have to find the other two from the Empire."

Feeling a little itchy from the Empire's little tongue licking her, You Ran, who had just been considering whether to end this hot spring trip, suddenly wanted to play some more games with the Empire before leaving.

"But... the Empire only started eating because Commander, it was just to avoid waste."

"But that's no excuse for the Empire to steal my snacks."

Originally, she had planned to use this opportunity to start a discussion, but seeing the Empire's state of mind—as if it hadn't eaten for days—You Ran couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "Is the Empire really that hungry?"

"Well... I was dragged out by my sisters today, so I didn't prepare anything to eat," Empire said, sounding a little aggrieved.

Looking at the seemingly easily deceived empire before him, You Ran felt a sudden surge of dark desire within him.

"What if I said... I also have some food here, would the Empire like some?"

"Really...! Where is it? The Empire wants to eat it."

The empire immediately showed a look of surprise.

......

......

Where has the empire gone?

After a while, having finally dispelled all his irritation by soaking in the hot spring, Littorio opened his eyes and discovered that the empire beside him had vanished.

"I don't know, maybe they were just too hungry to stand it and went out to find something to eat."

"I was lying on the shore, holding my phone and talking to Marco Polo online," Rome said casually.

"Is that so... But given the Empire's nature, it seems they really might do something like that."

As they were talking, Littorio turned his gaze, just wanting to see what was going on with the commander, when he suddenly noticed that the Empire, which had just disappeared, was now walking towards the commander from the direction he was coming from.

"Emperor?! When did you go to the commander's office?"

Having just survived a major battle, the Empire blushed with embarrassment: "I... I just asked the Commander if he was interested in coming to the Sardinian Baths, and he agreed."

"Huh?!!" Littorio looked shocked. "Really?! This is wonderful! I was just thinking about how to tell the Commander about this, but you've already asked. You did a great job! Are you hungry now? It's okay, I'll take you out for a big meal later!"

"This... no, no, the Empire is already full..." Feeling that her taste buds had been completely occupied by the Commander's flavor, the Empire did not want to eat anything else for the time being.

Seeing this, Littorio said with a strange expression, "Eating, are you full? Didn't you say the Empire had nothing to eat? How could you be full...?"

"Well... because, because the commander has plenty of food, so the Empire is well-fed."

Yes, really, I'm full...

Recalling that unique taste, the Empire couldn't help but purse its lips again.

In fact, she initially thought the commander was lying to her, but when the Empire truly tasted the fruits of her hard work, it suddenly realized her true feelings.

The Empire... likes this??

Chapter Ninety: The Two Wives

After saying goodbye to the three sisters of the Empire after soaking in the hot spring, You Ran took Wu Qi to the changing room. Seeing that Wu Qi was still not recovered, You Ran had no choice but to play a dressing-up game. But this game caused Wu Qi to become so weak that she could not even walk.

After carrying my wife out, I glanced at the time. Although it wasn't time to get off work yet, there was no need to be so strict. Besides, we were currently in Sakura Empire, so after thinking for a moment, I decided to take my wife back to my home first.

When You Ran arrived at the port after settling Wu's wife in, it happened to be the time when school was letting out. As the destroyers kept greeting him, You Ran responded to each one, feeling his heart melt.

She had actually wanted to visit the school for a long time, but she had never had the time before. Now that she had the chance, You Ran naturally wouldn't miss it.

But then again, I wonder if Lafite has left or not...

Thinking this, You Ran continued to respond to the various adorable creatures as she walked towards the school gate. But when You Ran finally arrived at the school gate, her hands, which were originally empty, were now stuffed with all sorts of things.

At first, only Mutsuki came over and gave him a piece of candy. After Yuran took it, he casually patted Mutsuki's little head and praised her.

Then, seeing this, Ruyue immediately stuffed the biscuits from her pocket into his hand. You Ran naturally couldn't be biased, so after taking them, he patted Ruyue's little head.

Then, perhaps because he accidentally conveyed some information, the remaining ship girls followed suit, and soon all sorts of things appeared in You Ran's hands and pockets. In the end, if You Ran hadn't realized that things were not going well and only allowed each ship girl to have one, he didn't know how long it would have taken him to get away.

With so many things in his arms, it was inconvenient for him to move around. Fortunately, Fengyun saw that he seemed to be unable to carry any more, so he kindly handed him his own backpack. Otherwise, You Ran would have had to go back to the command room to put these things down first.

When she arrived at the school gate, it had probably been some time since school had ended, or perhaps she had been delayed for too long, because there were hardly any ship girls left at the school gate when she arrived.

However, before Raffi could even see them, You Ran spotted two graceful figures standing in front of the school gate.

Yorktown still has...glory?

Hmm... I suppose they'll also pick up Harman and Little Radiance.

Seeing this, You Ran was just about to go up and ask the two if they had seen Raffi come out, but as soon as You Ran walked over, he heard Guang Hui suddenly mention himself.

"By the way, have you heard anything about the Commander in Yorktown lately?"

Because I don't use my phone very often, I only heard about the Commander from Victory and Formidable during the afternoon tea party today.

However, ever since learning of the commander's change, Illustrious has been somewhat absent-minded. While waiting for Little Illustrious and Little Formidable to come out, Illustrious couldn't help but ask Yorktown a question out of curiosity.

"About the Commander? I've certainly heard a lot about that. Is there anything Illustrious would like to know?"

She had anticipated this situation when she first contacted the commander, so Yorktown was not surprised at all.

"Actually... it's nothing, I just still can't quite believe it." Although Glorious had thought more than once that it would be better if the Commander wasn't so busy, the Commander had been busy for more than 30 years. When she learned that the Commander was no longer busy, Glorious still felt a little unreal.

"Instead of guessing here, Glorious, you only need to get to know the Commander yourself. The Commander is not as busy as before, and his personality is gradually returning to how it was when he first came to the port."

Like Illustrious, Yorktown, as a ship girl who has been by the commander's side since the beginning, doesn't need to explain things too clearly. She offered her own advice.

"But it's still working hours, it wouldn't be good to disturb them like this..." Fearing that what he thought might not be as wonderful as reality, Guanghui was still a little hesitant to face it.

"So, Glorious, you're still a little skeptical, aren't you? I already told you, Glorious, just go and see for yourself. The current commander will definitely give you a surprise."

After saying that, seeing that Glorious still looked hesitant, Yorktown chuckled and continued to persuade him, "Hmm... or I could give you a suggestion, Glorious. Think about who you're waiting for right now?"

"Yorktown, you mean... in the name of Glorious and Formidable?" Glorious immediately understood.

Seeing this, You Ran thought it was about time and chimed in, "Then I'll give Guanghui a suggestion: you should just go and tell the Commander that you miss him, what do you think?"

"Hmm~ But wouldn't that be a bit too direct?" Hearing the familiar words beside him, Glorious only subconsciously thought about it for a moment before quickly giving his answer. However, after speaking, Glorious suddenly realized something, his heart skipped a beat, and then he covered his lips with his right hand in disbelief, his gaze quickly turning to look behind him.

"Commander?! When...when did you arrive...?" Although she still couldn't quite believe it, when Glorious turned around and saw You Ran standing in front of her, her heart was filled with shock and surprise.

"It probably started when you said, 'I really like the Commander,'" Seeing that Illustrious was still a little flustered and at a loss, You Ran couldn't help but tease her.

"I...did I say that?" Guanghui's mind was already in turmoil because of You Ran's sudden appearance, and now he was completely unable to think clearly. He couldn't remember whether he had said those words or not. A blush flew across his face.
