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

dong dong dong——!

Before You Ran could finish speaking, a knock on the door sounded. Manchester was startled, then blushed and quickly burrowed under the covers to hide her naked body.

"Commander, are you awake?"

Soon, Jarvis's familiar voice came from outside the door.

"You're awake? Come in and talk." You Ran had originally remembered, but after searching for a while, she only found one item, so she simply put on a coat and replied.

Upon opening the door and entering, Jarvis felt his cheeks burning at the sight of the somewhat chaotic scene before him. After a moment's thought, he decided not to approach but instead stood at the doorway and asked directly, "Commander, have you seen Janus?"

“Janus? She’s not,” You Ran paused, about to reply, when he suddenly felt a ship girl tugging at his hand from the blankets behind him. You Ran looked over and saw Janus shaking her head nervously at him.

"What's up with her?"

Although she didn't know why, You Ran still chose not to expose Janus.

“I thought she had already gone home, but I didn’t see her at home after get off work. I asked the goddesses and they said they hadn’t seen her either. I just searched the infirmary and even asked the goddess of the hearth, but no one knew. So I came here to ask the commander because I really couldn’t find her.”

Jarvis seemed anxious, much like a parent who couldn't find their child.

"Um, well, Janus was called out to play by Raffi earlier, didn't you know Jarvis?" You Ran casually made up an excuse.

“Laffey?” Jarvis was clearly surprised. “When did they become so close? Commander, can you tell me where Janus is now? I want to go and see her.”

"Jarvis, you don't need to go. Janus should be back soon. Besides, I'll definitely be able to sense if any of the ship girls in the port are in danger, so don't worry."

"Can,"

Seeing that Jarvis was still a little worried, You Ran immediately said, "More importantly, Jarvis, could you make me something to eat? I haven't eaten all day and I'm a little hungry."

"You haven't eaten all day?!" Jarvis frowned almost instantly. "Commander, do you really think you're Superman? How can you be so careless with your health? Honestly, you wait here, I'll be right back."

As Jarvis turned to leave, You Ran breathed a sigh of relief and was about to ask Janus what was going on when Jarvis turned around, startling her again.

"By the way, Commander, you don't have any problems with the other ship girls, including me, but please don't have any ulterior motives towards Janus. She's still young and can't withstand your antics."

Jarvis's face, which had been slightly flushed, quickly regained its seriousness as he spoke earnestly.

Chapter 133 What the hell is this feeling of cheating on your parents?!

As the eldest sister of the J-class family, Jarvis has always cared about her younger sisters. She especially cherishes Janus, the most timid and innocent of the group. Therefore, she doesn't want Janus to get involved in something she herself hasn't even tried yet.

Actually, Jarvis didn't want to talk about this, but he felt that the Commander's liking had almost encompassed the entire port area, so Jarvis felt that he should give the Commander a heads-up in advance.

"Well, cough cough, of course, of course..."

Hearing Jarvis's words, You Ran blushed, but still nodded. Luckily, he had a thick skin, otherwise he really wouldn't know what to say now.

After Jarvis closed the door, You Ran pulled back the covers and looked at Janus, who was now extremely nervous, below. You Ran asked again:

"So what's going on? Wasn't the nurse list decided together by you? How could Jarvis not know that Janus, you were here?"

"Waaah~ Yes, I'm sorry, Commander. Janus actually came here behind Jarvis's back. Waaah, I'm so sorry."

Janus breathed a sigh of relief when Jarvis left, but then he was so afraid that You Ran would be angry about it that he almost cried.

"Alright, alright, I didn't mean to blame Janus. I just wanted to know what happened. And Janus, don't worry, now that things are like this, I'm definitely standing with you."

Seeing Janus blinking with tears in his eyes, looking very endearing, You Ran gently stroked Janus's head and comforted him after taking him into her arms.

Feeling the commander's warmth, Janus's emotions quickly stabilized. He rested his head against You Ran and explained:

"Actually, I said I wanted to join when we were first discussing it, but Sister Jarvis disagreed after hearing that it was about this kind of examination. I couldn't persuade her, so I had to agree temporarily. After Sister Jarvis left, Janus secretly spoke to Sister Vessel, and she agreed. And then, that's how it turned out."

"this......"

“Janus misses the Commander too much. Besides, Janus actually understands everything now, but Jarvis still treats me like a child. Commander, could you please not tell Jarvis about this for now? I... I don’t want her to know yet.”

Janus looked somewhat nervous, fearing that You Ran might disagree.

"Actually... it doesn't matter if Jarvis finds out about this, Janus, don't worry, I'll seduce her."

Actually, this matter isn't a big deal. After all, things have already come to this. Even if Jarvis knew, he would only give him a helpless lecture at most. So as long as Janus can let it go, that's fine. Therefore, You Ran comforted him.

“But, Janus isn’t ready yet, and doesn’t want Jarvis to know…” Janus buried his head in You Ran’s arms again, feeling a little nervous.

"Okay~ then Ianus is fine." You Ran's expression was doting as she picked up Janus and kissed him again. "Who told Janus to be the Commander's little angel? Commander, I can't refuse even if I wanted to."

"Mmm~ I like Commander the most~!" Seeing You Ran agree, Janus's nervousness instantly turned into surprise. His face turned a little red with excitement, and Janus immediately hugged You Ran's head and pressed his body against hers.

"However, Janus, there's one thing you need to understand: with the Commander around, it won't matter even if Jarvis finds out about this. So if Janus has thought it through, come find me, and I'll talk to Jarvis. After all, Janus doesn't want to have to sneak around when he's with me, right?"

As You Ran spoke, she began to dress Janus.

"Yes, Janus understands. Wait until Janus is brave enough to speak up, then he and Jarvis will come together for the Commander's medical examination."

Janus blushed slightly, clearly thinking of the comic again.

"That's not what I meant. Never mind, it's good that Janus is okay with it." You Ran said somewhat helplessly, "Um... cough cough, everyone should be awake by now, about this matter..."

As she spoke, You Ran looked at the girls beside her who had been waking up one after another since the beginning, or rather, who had been pretending to be asleep all along.

Manchester quickly understood You Ran's meaning and was the first to step forward: "Master, please rest assured. As a maid, I will never tell anyone anything that you do not wish to say, not even my own sister."

"Unicorn and Yu-chan wouldn't say things like that."

The unicorn quickly sat up, raised its hand, and spoke.

"Commander, since things have come to this, let Miss Janus go home during this break, otherwise it won't be good if she runs into Jarvis later."

Hermione, who had already changed her clothes, quickly offered her advice.

“That makes sense.” You Ran nodded, but her expression quickly turned strange again. “But what’s with this feeling of cheating on your parents? It just feels weird.”

After making a few complaints, You Ran quickly dressed Janus in the rest of his clothes, and then patted Janus's little head.

"Alright, Janus, wait a moment. It's getting dark. I'll get dressed and then take Janus home."

Jarvis probably can't cook that quickly. If he really wanted to, he actually has plenty of time to travel back and forth within the port area.

"Commander, you should rest here. I'll take care of seeing Miss Janus off." Hermione, who had already guessed that the commander would say that, immediately stepped forward and said considerately.

"But Hermione, you're the one who just started,"

“Master~” Hermione’s face quickly flushed when this was mentioned. “Have you forgotten what Hermione said before? It is a maid’s duty to help her master. Besides, ship girls’ bodies are not that fragile. Commander, you can rest assured.”

“Commander, Hermione, Janus can actually go back by himself. The port lights are very bright, and Janus knows the way from the infirmary to home very well,” Janus said thoughtfully.

"Alright, Janus, don't overthink it. There's nothing to worry about regarding the port's safety. What the Commander really meant was that he wanted someone to keep Janus company on the road and talk to him more," Hermione quickly explained.

Seeing this, You Ran couldn't help but sigh, "Hermione, if you keep going like this, I'll never be able to live without you."

I have to say, this kind of thoughtfulness is really comforting.

Hearing this, Hermione's eyes lit up again. "Hermione will work towards that goal!"

"Manchester will also strive towards this goal!"

Hearing Hermione's words, Manchester suddenly remembered that she was also a maid, and immediately added.

Chapter 134 Cheshire and New Jersey

"What a mess..." After Janus and Hermione left, You Ran sighed, then looked at the unicorn beside her who was looking down, seemingly lost in thought. "Unicorn, you wouldn't be...?"

The unicorn quickly waved its hand: "No, no, although Shining doesn't know yet, Shining usually doesn't get involved in these things, and... and the unicorn thinks that Shining might actually agree..."

“That’s true. People like Janus are a minority in the port area.”

You Ran nodded, realizing that she had indeed been overthinking things.

Shortly after, Manchester helped the unicorn dress and tidied the room a little. Then, a knock came at the door and Jarvis's voice rang out.

"Commander, your patient meal has arrived. Everyone, tidy up your desks first, and I've made your portions too."

With his small frame carrying a large tray, Jarvis quickly walked in after Manchester opened the door.

"A patient's meal? Is it that lavish?"

I originally thought that hospital meals would be the kind that are salt-free and oil-free, pursuing the ultimate in health and nutrition, but now that I've actually seen and tasted them, I'm surprised to find that they are both delicious and visually appealing.

"Jarvis's hospital meals are not only beautiful but also delicious. I've always been envious..." The unicorn sitting next to her took a bite and then chimed in.

Despite being praised by You Ran and the Unicorn, Jarvis's expression didn't change much. He continued expressionlessly, "Commander, you're just not eating, not really sick, so there's no need to be so strict. Besides, since your body was enhanced by the Rubik's Cube, you can now eat Rubik's Cube products, so the food options are much more flexible."

"Hey! Master can eat the same things as us now? By the way, Master, have you ever drunk petroleum? I'm suddenly a little curious."

Manchester, standing nearby, was also somewhat surprised.

"Well... no, but Manchester, please don't look at me like that. I'm not really keen on trying it yet."

Seeing Manchester looking over, You Ran quickly pushed her face away. Although theoretically he could drink it, and it might even taste pretty good, it was like biting into a brick raw, which was a bit strange no matter how you looked at it.

"Hmm~ Master~! You really don't want to try it? This isn't real traditional petroleum. You can think of it as some kind of beverage. It's been processed by Rubik's Cube and tastes really good. As for the taste, well... I can't really describe it. It's the kind of feeling that makes you, especially your ship equipment, feel powerful. Master, you really don't want to try it. Maybe you'll want to have a second sip after just one."

As he spoke, he took out a miniature oil can from his ship's equipment. Manchester first took a small sip himself and described the feeling, then handed the oil to You Ran's lips and enthusiastically recommended it.

"I won't drink it. I don't have any ship equipment, and I just can't bring myself to drink it." You Ran still couldn't accept it.

"Alright, Manchester, if the commander doesn't want to drink, then he doesn't have to. There's no need for that."

Jarvis, who was standing nearby, chimed in.

"I... I just didn't want my master to miss out on this delicious food..."

Manchester was a little discouraged, but in the end he didn't force it. Instead, he drank the rest of the oil in one gulp, but he thought to himself that one day he would let his master enjoy this delicious taste.

After finishing their meal, they said goodbye to the ship girls, including Vestal, and left the infirmary. You Ran originally intended to send Unicorn back, but with Hermione's example and Manchester's good imitation, she immediately offered to send Unicorn back.

Somewhat surprised, the unicorn looked at Manchester. She wanted to refuse but didn't know how to say it. In the end, she said goodbye to You Ran with eyes full of reluctance.

And so, nothing more happened. You Ran was about to go home when she suddenly hesitated.

Because he's a bit unsure which home to go back to now. After all, he can say he has two homes now. One is a rest room that, although not really a home, has been his place of residence for over thirty years and is practically the same as home. The other is his real home, but he's only been back a handful of times.

But to be honest, living at home is probably more comfortable. It's bigger, and the facilities are much more complete. It's very new and, in a sense, it represents the start of a new life for him.

However, after thinking it over carefully, You Ran decided to go back to the lounge first. It had been almost a week since he had been back. If there were no ship girls there, it wouldn't be too late for him to go home.

Having made up her mind, You Ran soon arrived at the door of the command room...
