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

After separating from Cheshire, You Ran soon arrived outside the command room...

Chapter 108 The Youthful Knight Ship Girls Won't Dream of the Cold Commander

After saying goodbye to Cheshire, he quickly arrived outside the command room. Before he could even step inside, he suddenly heard a very serious voice coming from inside.

A sense of curiosity arose in her heart, and she slowed her pace slightly. Just as she entered the command room, she happened to run into the vanguard who was standing in the center of the command room. He suddenly drew his sword from his waist and held it to his chest.

"My sword is the blade of loyalty and righteousness, my cannon fire is the light of glory! I am the sword of the royal family! So, Commander, you who wield my sword, please issue today's orders to the vanguard!"

Looking at the avant-garde and handsome declaration inside the room, You Ran was about to step forward and praise it, but before she could speak, she saw a hint of excitement appear on the avant-garde's originally solemn face, followed by a very satisfied expression.

"Ahhh~! Those kinds of words are still a bit too embarrassing! But they're really cool~ I wonder if the Commander likes them..."

I never expected that the usually serious and avant-garde would have such an adorable side in private. You Ran smiled and said directly, "Of course I like it. Who wouldn't like this kind of avant-garde?"

"Cheshire, uh... point, point to the Commander?!" He was wondering what would happen if the Commander didn't like this overly dramatic declaration, but a familiar voice beside him startled him. He initially thought Cheshire hadn't left, but when he turned around, he realized that the Commander was already standing in front of him.

In his surprise, he almost instinctively hid his sword behind his back. The vanguard felt completely flustered.

Finished!

It's over, it's over, it's over!

Hey, you avant-garde! What on earth are you doing?! It's fine if you just entertain yourself at home, but why are you acting like this in the command center today?!

Wouldn't that completely destroy the image I've maintained as a commander for so many years?

Ugh! I'm a grown-up ship girl, yet I said such childish things. Commander, you must think I'm so immature right now!

Ugh! I feel like crawling into a hole and disappearing!

No, you need to calm down, calm down...

Perhaps the commander didn't hear it. Also, what did the commander just say? Something like... he likes me!?

what?

The commander likes me?!

Her edgy little face suddenly turned red.

"Vanguard?" You Ran called out when Vanguard remained silent for a long time.

"Yes...yes!" Startled by You Ran's call, the vanguard immediately snapped out of his daze. Although his face was gradually turning red, he stopped abruptly after responding. "Does the commander have any orders?!"

"Hmm...it's nothing, I was just wondering if Qianwei is plotting something against me?"

"Plotting something?! ?!" As if his thoughts had been exposed, Vanguard panicked again. "Commander, you...you...no, no! Vanguard would never do such a thing! Why would you think that, Commander?"

Seeing that Qianwei was extremely nervous, You Ran immediately smiled and said, "Because I saw that Qianwei had a long sword on his back, I thought he was going to assassinate me."

"This... I, I just happened to put it behind my back."

Hearing You Ran's words, the vanguard, who thought the commander was talking about another kind of treacherous scheme, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly sheathed his longsword.

Call ~

She said that although she wanted to get close to the commander, she shouldn't have made it that obvious.

"So, Commander, what are your plans for today? If so, could you let me know in advance so I can make the necessary preparations?" After gradually calming down, the vanguard asked directly.

"Arrangements?" You Ran pondered for a moment. "No, not really. What about Qianwei?"

"Me?!" Vanguard was also somewhat surprised. "Today I'm entirely at the commander's behest."

"What if nothing happens today, like usual? How does the avant-garde get through the day?"

"Well... normally, Vanguard usually wakes up around seven in the morning, has breakfast, and then goes to the Knights to meet up with everyone. Then we train until noon. After training, we have lunch together, and then we rest for a while. In the afternoon, we usually have a competition with everyone in the training ground. For dinner, I usually go home and cook for myself. Of course, occasionally I'll order takeout if I happen to be watching a show."

Although he didn't know why the commander was asking this, the vanguard still answered in detail.

"A program...? What program?"

"Commander, you wouldn't be interested in that, it's just some... anime and stuff..." Vanguard suddenly became a little embarrassed when he said this.

"Why wouldn't I be interested? I love watching good anime too. I'm actually quite curious about what kind of anime you guys usually watch. Qianwei, tell me the names, and I'll check them out later."

Anime... I do have some nostalgia for it.

"Um... this, this, this... it's called, waah~! This name is still a bit too embarrassing, Commander, you'd better not ask!"

Although he really wanted to answer the commander's question, he couldn't bring himself to say it, and the vanguard felt increasingly ashamed.

"Is it really that exaggerated? It's not like... 'Youthful Knight Ship Girls Don't Dream of Cold Commanders,' is it?" You Ran suddenly recalled the comic books she had accidentally seen at the Akashi convenience store before.

Although You Ran was quite interested at the time, she closed the book again in embarrassment after opening it for a short while. There was no way around it; as it turns out, sometimes being too immersed in something is not a good thing.

"Eh, eh, eh! Commander, you've seen this anime too?!" Vanguard looked shocked. She really didn't expect that the Commander, who was usually busy with work every day, would know about this.

Suddenly, Vanguard felt that the Commander wasn't so far away after all.

"This has actually been adapted into an anime..." You Ran was momentarily speechless.

"Never mind, let's not talk about that for now. I suddenly want to visit the Knights of the Vanguard, can you take me there?"

"The Knights? Of course, no, I should say you're very welcome!"

Seeing that the commander was interested in this, the vanguard was genuinely pleasantly surprised.

Ever since Vanguard met the Commander and said she was fine, she had been thinking about how to get the Commander interested in the Royal Knights. But she really didn't expect the Commander to bring it up on his own before she even asked. Vanguard was naturally very excited.

It seems everything is moving in a positive direction.

I wonder if I'll be able to get closer to the Commander today...

Recalling what everyone was discussing in the group this morning, a blush returned to Qianwei's face.

Then again, she didn't think the commander was as thirsty as the knight commander had described...

Could it be that the commander has been holding back all along?

Realizing this, the avant-garde suddenly became somewhat restless.

After all, we'll be meeting up with everyone soon, and it won't be easy to eat alone anymore...

Chapter 109 The Vanguard is the Commander's Royal Sword!

"Commander..."

Qianwei's face flushed slightly, and he hesitated.

"what happened?"

"No! Nothing!" Qianwei quickly waved his hand.

Sure enough, how could anyone say such a thing!

She's a dignified Royal Guard Knight, the Royal Sword in the Commander's hand! She's not some ship girl from a manga who turns into a firearm the moment she touches the Commander.

Besides, even if she takes the initiative, it's not certain whether the commander will accept it.

It wouldn't be good if the commander misunderstood...

"Since there's nothing else, let's go over now."

He could sit still for the past two days, but now he found himself increasingly unable to stay in the command room. Looking at Qianwei, You Ran said directly.

"Um... Hey! Commander, wait a minute." After subconsciously responding, she suddenly realized that the rest of the Knights didn't know the Commander was coming, so Vanguard thought for a moment and quickly called out to You Ran, who was about to leave, "Then, Commander, can I send a message in the group chat in advance to let everyone know?"

Although she is a member of the Royal Knights, the Commander is above all else to her. If the Commander really wants to conduct a surprise inspection, all Vanguard can do for her sisters is wish them good luck.

Turning back, You Ran nodded: "Of course, but tell them not to worry about us when I arrive. I'm just curious and want to take a look around."

"oh, I understand now."

Seeing You Ran nod, Qianwei breathed a sigh of relief. Actually, she wanted to send this message to everyone partly to give them a heads-up, and partly to see their opinions. So, after taking out her phone, Qianwei quickly started editing...

Royal Knights

Vanguard: "@All members, everyone, um, although the Commander is indeed easier to approach now, I don't feel like the Commander is as... thirsty as you all described?"

Southampton: "Hey, isn't that normal? Vanguard, tell me, do you like the Commander?"

Avant-garde: "Huh? Why, why are you suddenly asking this? It's kind of embarrassing."

Southampton: "So you like him? Now think about it, have you ever shown that you like the Commander in front of him?"

Avant-garde: "Um...no, nothing..."

Southampton: "That's settled then. Vanguard, you need to maintain your image, and the Commander certainly does too. So, before you're sure of his attitude, the Commander won't show his eager side. So now you have two choices in front of you, Vanguard."

Avant-garde: "Which two?"

Southampton: "The first and simplest way is to play it straight and tell the commander you like him! There's a saying, 'If you love someone, say it out loud!'"

Vanguard: "Coco, isn't this a bit too direct?! What if the Commander doesn't like me? How am I supposed to be his personal guard knight?!"

Southampton: "Wow! You're a royal knight, have some confidence in yourself! But since you can't accept the first option, then there's only another one."

Avant-garde: "What's the other one?"

Southampton: "If a straight ball doesn't work, then use hints! Midfielder, what you need to do now is to entice, or rather, seduce the commander, let him realize your allure, let him know you like him... and then the commander will naturally devour you!"

Avant-garde: "Seduction? Seduce??? This...this...how would I know anything about this!"

Southampton: "That depends on how determined you are to win the Commander's favor. That's all I can tell you. Good luck, Vanguard! Show the courage you have on the battlefield to protect the Commander!"

Vanguard: "I...I know! I'll try my best to get closer to the Commander!"

Howe: "Wait, speaking of which, Southampton, why do you know so much?! Did you also cheat on us with food?!"

Southampton: "No, no, we're just humble ones, but we're the masters of theoretical thought, Southampton!"

Hao: "So you haven't practiced anything at all, right??"

Royal Oaks: "So Howe and Southampton are also forum experts?!"

Southampton: "Ahem, well, there's nothing I can do about it. Ever since the Commander's incident was exposed on the forums, even ship girls who didn't play before can't help but take a look now, and naturally they've picked up a bit of it from what they see and hear."

Quejie: ​​"Why do I feel like Southampton didn't just start using the forums a couple of days ago...?"
