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

"That's good, that's good." Originally, he was thinking that if Taihou still disagreed, he would bring out the mackerel to put pressure on her. Who knew that Taihou would agree so quickly? So Karybdis finally breathed a sigh of relief and stopped paying attention to Taihou.

It's only been one day, it can't be that much of a coincidence, right?

As she continued cleaning, Charybdis, gradually feeling more at ease, began to reminisce about the scene of the commander lying on her lap.

......

Inside the lounge in the port area.

"This child, could he have gotten lost on the way...?"

After waiting in the command room for a long time without seeing any ship girls, I asked Belfast and found out that the secretary ship on duty today was Uzuki, one of the Sakura Empire's "kindergarten" ships that I had met yesterday afternoon. Considering Uzuki's impulsive personality, Yu Ran couldn't help but think of this possibility.

However, You Ran quickly dismissed the idea. After all, it made sense. It wasn't the first time she had come. Mao Yue had been here many times over the years. She shouldn't have gotten lost. There must have been some other reason, like oversleeping, that caused the delay.

"Honey~ Raffi is awake, do you want to go see her?"

Just as You Ran was considering other possibilities, Cheshire came out of the lounge.

"Oh, okay." He nodded without thinking too much about it. Anyway, the port area was absolutely safe, and he could sense any danger to the ship girls, so Uzuki should be fine.

After quickly arriving at the lounge, You Ran saw Raffi, who had just sat up on the bed and was still dozing off, and went up to pat Raffi's little head.

When Laffey felt You Ran's large hand, she quickly opened her eyes, and then her soft, sweet voice rang out again: "Commander, you pervert..."

"Uh...why did you say that?" He had thought that Raffi's first words upon waking up would be a sweet, gentle greeting, but while Raffi's voice was indeed sweet, he never expected that Raffi's first words would be to scold him, so You Ran was somewhat surprised.

"Because, last night Laffey saw you, Commander, hitting Cheshire with a really thick stick... And, for some reason... Cheshire seemed to enjoy being hit, and sometimes she even deliberately bumped into the stick... Laffey doesn't quite understand..."

As she spoke, she stretched out her arms to You Ran as if she wanted to hug him, and leaned on You Ran's shoulder. Raffi looked puzzled.

"Haha, Laffey, you look like you haven't woken up yet. You're going to be late. Should the Commander give you a leave of absence?"

One sentence made Cheshire blush with embarrassment, and You Ran, who didn't know how to explain, awkwardly laughed and quickly changed the subject.

Hearing You Ran's words, Laffey quickly shook her head without thinking much of it and said, "No, Commander has to work later... Laffey also wants to go to school to play with Javelin and the others..."

"Then why don't you eat breakfast before you leave?" Seeing that Raffi didn't press for details, You Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, honey, I've prepared two bento boxes for Raffi. One is a sandwich for breakfast, which she can eat at school. The other is a meal with side dishes, which she can eat at noon. So it's fine."

After speaking, Cheshire suddenly felt she possessed a touch of the qualities of a virtuous wife and loving mother. Her eyes sparkled as she gazed at You Ran, a sudden anticipation rising within her for her beloved's praise...

Chapter 99 "I've Already Quit Using the Commander"

"I see. I didn't expect you to be so capable, Cheshire, and to have thought of this in advance. I think in a few years, you might even catch up with Belfast in terms of maid skills."

Seeing this, You Ran also praised him generously.

"Hehehe~! This is just what Cheshire should do, and it's still far inferior to that of the head maid Cheshire."

"It will get closer and closer. Since Raffi wants to go to school, Cheshire, could you take Raffi to school for me?"

"Mmm~ Darling, you just go about your business, I'll take care of Little Lafite!" Cheshire was full of energy after receiving the encouragement.

You Ran quickly put Laffey down on the ground and instructed, "If I have time tonight, I will pick up Laffey again. But if I don't, it means the Commander has something to do and can't come. Laffey, don't keep waiting, understand?"

"Yes, Laffey understands..." Laffey nodded obediently.

"Well then, darling~ Little Raffi and I will be going now."

After You Ran finished explaining to Lafite, Cheshire quickly took Lafite's hand and said goodbye to You Ran.

"Well, pay attention to safety on the road."

Cheshire will be careful.

After Laffey and Cheshire left, and he had only been sitting in his office chair for a short while, a ship girl even smaller than Laffey rushed in, panting and shouting.

"Whoa! Commander! Commander! I'm not late, am I?!"

"What do you think, Uzuki?" Looking at the hurried Uzuki in front of him, You Ran couldn't help but tease her, so he said expressionlessly.

"Waaah~ Commander, I'm so sorry~! It's all my fault for waking up late this morning. Neither Kisaragi nor Mutsuki-nee woke me up, so I was late by accident."

Seeing this, Maoyue thought You Ran was angry and immediately apologized repeatedly.

"So, Uzuki didn't even have breakfast this morning?"

"Hmm... Uzuki ran to the Commander as soon as she woke up this morning, but she's still very late. Uzuki really tried her best to catch up, Commander~! Please don't punish Uzuki~"

"No, this is the first time this year that someone has been late for work on the secretary ship. They must be severely punished!" You Ran said sternly.

"Huh?! Waaah~! Well, okay then, but can the Commander's punishment be done indoors? Uzuki doesn't want to go out..." After being scared by Bie Youran, Uzuki rubbed her eyes and almost cried, pleading.

You Ran's expression remained serious as he said, "In that case, you'll be punished by going to the lounge to wash up and have breakfast right now."

"Commander~ I'm sorry~! Uzuki won't do it again next time, never again....... Huh? Huh?!! Eating, eating?"

Gradually realizing that something was amiss with the punishment, Uzuki froze on the spot.

......

If Laffey is still considered a loli, then Uzuki is definitely a young girl.

It's so tiny when I hold it in my arms, I can't feel its weight at all.

Even for You Ran, it's safe to say that this is truly Sakura Empire's kindergarten; if it were another faction, they probably wouldn't be able to find ship girls that young.

Today's workday was similar to Harman's previous one, mostly spent with Uzuki reading comic books.

The only difference is that most of the children's stories that Uzuki reads are the kind about the Big Bad Wolf, and she probably prefers to draw them rather than read them.

Unlike Harman, who gradually became a shy and bashful young girl after her transformation, Uzuki, as a child, had a simpler and more innocent mind. She didn't have many complicated emotions; she was happy when she was happy and sad when she was sad, and she didn't hide anything.

After all, it was normal for Uzuki to have no time to spend with her when her previous commander was busy with work. She could just play by herself. Now that her commander can play with her, Uzuki is naturally very happy.

The day passed by in this way, and before she knew it, most of it was over. After personally taking Uzuki home and spending some time with Mutsuki and Kisaragi, Yuran quickly returned to the port area.

After arriving in the port area, You Ran originally planned to pick up Raffi from school, but seeing that it would take a while, and since her home happened to be nearby, and recalling what Raffi had said yesterday, You Ran thought for a moment and suddenly walked towards her home with some curiosity.

A moment later, You Ran looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar doorway in front of her and suddenly felt a surge of emotions.

I have to say, my own place is much bigger than the lounge.

After all, as he became more and more comfortable in his sage state, he gradually stopped going home because he was in a hurry.

When the ship girls saw that he was unwilling to go home to rest, they thought that he was not satisfied with the conditions at home. So, after unanimous discussion among the ship girls, they finally decided that the Royal Navy would take over the project first and expand it to the highest standards of the Royal Navy.

But seeing that You Ran still showed no intention of returning to sleep, Tie Xue took over and expanded the facility once again.

Then Donghuang took over and expanded it again.

Then the Sakura Empire took over and expanded it again.

It wasn't until almost every faction had tried it that they discovered the commander didn't come back to sleep simply because the rest room was nearby.

So the ship girls immediately began to renovate the lounge.

Although he never came back to live there, the ship girls kept cleaning the back of the house, and it was even renovated several times.

Thinking of this, You Ran suddenly became curious about what this house, which combined various factions, looked like, and quickly went inside.

Inside the house, after talking to Charybdis in the morning, Dafeng stayed in You Ran's bedroom and didn't go out again. She snuggled in the bedding and took another nap. After gradually waking up, Dafeng, feeling a little bored, turned over and soon started browsing posts on the forum as usual.

However, perhaps because she reads too many posts, Da Feng couldn't find a single one that truly suited her taste.

But soon, after browsing through one post, Da Feng quickly flipped back to it. Feeling something was off, Da Feng then took another look at the title.

I've given up on Commander; no matter how lewd your Commander pictures are, they won't move me.

When she first saw this title, Taihou thought it was a good thing that there was one less pest in the port, but then she got angry. After all, this is the Commander's lewd picture. How can you give it up so easily?

Isn't this a complete denial of the Commander's charm?!

Thinking of this, Da Feng clicked in without hesitation, ready to give the poster a good scolding.

Chapter 100: Trendsetters of the New Era

Blücher: "No ship girls? What kind of off-season forum is this?"

Ke Wei: "You can come during peak season."

Purification: "Actually, you could get a trendy one."

San Francisco: "What trendsetter?"

Blücher: "Trendsetter, what does that mean...?"

Blücher: "..."

Blücher: "You're ignoring me again, I'm angry! You bad thing that ignores me! Left hook! Right hook! Flying kick! I'll throw your clothes on the ground! I'll stomp on your stomach! I'll lift you up! I'll slap your skull flat!"

San Francisco: "??"

San Francisco: "Tide-riders, as the name suggests, are the trendsetters of the new era. They refer to ship girls who spend their days and nights with the sea or playing in the tides. They are also used as a metaphor for ship girls who are brave and enterprising."

San Francisco: "When I see your title, Blücher, I get the feeling that you are a pioneering and innovative trendsetter."

Blücher: "Oh, is that what you mean? Trendsetter, that's a great title, I like it."

Blücher: "Then what does it mean to create a 'tide first'?"

Purification: "This is mentioned in 'Telling You the Correct Way to Use the Forum from the Commander's Perspective,' which was compiled and summarized by Kilzach. You can understand it as follows: If you have concerns about the uncertain consequences that may be caused before doing something, you can take a break, temporarily put the problem aside, relax, and deal with the problem after you feel better."

Blücher: "Relax a bit? Indeed, going to the beach to play in the water is quite relaxing."

Blücher: "Then... how about we get a tide first?"

Purification friend: "Yes, yes, let's get trendy first."

Blücher: "Let's get trendy first!"

Purification: "Let's get trendy first!"

Lüzov: "No way, you guys are so naive! Is this how you explain things scientifically? Luckily I'm educated, or I would have believed it too."

Blücher: "I felt something was off, so what does that mean?!"

Lüzov: "Actually, it doesn't mean anything, it's just the literal meaning."
