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

Clearly not expecting Royal Fortune to react this way, with Da Feng holding his left arm, You Ran could only temporarily support Royal Fortune with one hand. Just as You Ran was about to lift him up, Royal Fortune suddenly hugged his thighs tightly with both hands and then burst into tears again.

"Waaah~! I'm sorry! Commander, I'm so sorry! I did lie. I just wanted to stay by your side. I was wrong. Commander, please don't hate me, okay? Commander, please don't hate me, okay? I really know I was wrong!" Royal Fortune slumped to the ground, clinging to You Ran's thigh, sobbing uncontrollably and repeatedly apologizing.

"Actually, you don't need to be so... about the royal fortune..."

Although You Ran really wanted to tell Royal Wealth that it wasn't that serious, he knew that even if he did, Royal Wealth probably wouldn't believe him or would think he was just making excuses. So You Ran said in a slightly serious tone, "Alright, since Royal Wealth is telling the truth now, I'll forgive you this time, but don't do it again."

"Really?!" Royal Fortune rubbed her eyes, looking up at You Ran in a daze. She clearly hadn't expected the commander to forgive her so quickly.

"Of course, but Royal Wealth, you can just say what you want to do next time. There's no need to act like this," You Ran continued to comfort him.

It has to be said that some ship girls really don't like socializing or going online, and it seems like Royal Fortune was completely unprepared for his changes.

The reason it's like this now is probably because it was provoked by Taifeng before, causing its emotions to fluctuate too much; otherwise, it wouldn't be like this now.

However, for some reason, You Ran found the current royal wealth quite endearing.

Chapter 157 How Formidable: I Don't Want to Be a Clown!

"Yes, but."

Despite the commander's words, Royal Fortune still hesitated after what had just happened, fearing that she might inadvertently make some excessive demands.

"There's no 'but' about it. As long as it's not an unreasonable request, I can accept it," You Ran said directly.

Seeing how confident You Ran was, Royal Wealth thought for a moment but still couldn't bear to let this opportunity slip by. After hesitating for a moment, they tentatively asked, "Then, Commander, can you hug me again?"

"of course can."

As she spoke, You Ran picked up Royal Fortune and wiped away its tears.

"Any more?"

"Commander, could you touch me again?"

Returning to this warm embrace, Royal Wealth's confidence soared, and they soon spoke again.

As for this request that wasn't really a request, You Ran naturally had no reason to refuse.

Before long, after enjoying You Ran's head pat, Royal Wealth had regained most of its usual vitality.

"Commander, Commander, besides that, I have one last request: can you kiss me?"

"no!"

Before Royal Wealth could finish speaking, Da Feng interrupted him.

Her patience has its limits. Do you really think she doesn't exist?!

"Alright, there's plenty of time ahead. It's getting late, so let's call it a day. Royal Fortune, you can go back and get some rest. You can come find me another day."

Knowing in her heart that it was already quite remarkable that Da Feng had been able to endure for so long, You Ran thought for a moment and then spoke up.

"Hmm~ Well, alright then..." Royal Fortune lowered its head in disappointment.

She knew in her heart that with Taihou, that stingy girl, by her side, she couldn't do anything outrageous with the Commander. In addition, the ups and downs of those short ten minutes were really too much for her. Royal Fortune felt that she really needed to digest what happened tonight. She also wanted to go back and ask Vida what had happened in the port area during the week she was away. She felt that Vida was a bit out of touch with the times.

But no matter what, seeing the commander so close to other ship girls still made Royal Fortune feel a little sad.

She didn't mean to possess the Commander, but she saw that Taihou had already reached the point where she could be intimate with the Commander at will, while she now had to consider Taihou's feelings if she wanted to kiss the Commander.

The thought of this made Royal Wealth feel incredibly sad.

She's the ship girl who should be the one comforting the commander!

Damn it! I should have stayed home this week!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and Royal Fortune unconsciously clenched his fists.

"Alright, it's just one night apart, is it really that big of a deal?" Seeing that Royal Wealth only verbally agreed but showed no intention of letting go, You Ran thought for a moment and continued to reassure them.

"One...one night without seeing him?" Royal Fortune was taken aback. "Commander, you mean...!"

You Ran smiled and said, "I didn't mean anything by it. It just so happens that tomorrow is Sunday and I don't have anything to do."

"I understand! Commander, I'll be going now! You should get some rest too!" Hearing this, Royal Fortune was so happy he almost jumped for joy.

That's what it means, right? That's what it means! Commander, this definitely means you want to go on a date with me!

Right? Right!

Hmm! She knew it! The Commander still loves her!

The broken images in her heart were slowly being repaired, and on her way back to the dormitory, Royal Wealth couldn't help but start daydreaming again.

After Royal Fortune left, You Ran saw Da Feng pouting and sulking to the side. He went up to her and hugged her soft body. Then he kissed her cheek hard and said, "Okay, don't be angry. Isn't it enough that I'm yours tonight, Da Feng?"

"I... I just feel sorry for you, Commander. It's all that pest's fault, yet you still have to spend so much time comforting her."

Feeling the commander's embrace, Taihou's resentment vanished. She only grumbled a few words out of politeness, but she was secretly delighted.

This is precisely what You Ran finds endearing about Da Feng. No matter how bad Da Feng's mood is, a hug or a little coaxing will instantly make her as happy as a child, completely forgetting her previous worries.

As for those occasional complaints, just ignore them. You Ran has figured it out; Da Feng is only good at talking now. But that's not a big problem. After all, listening to Da Feng's rambling is quite interesting. And if you really don't want to listen, you can just tell Da Feng. Da Feng will find something to shut her up, and you can enjoy the other side of Da Feng's impressive verbal skills.

Meanwhile, as night deepened, inside the Commander's Strategy Task Force...

Blücher: "@Not a Fat Dinosaur! How was it? Commander, didn't you feel amazing? Hmm~ I'm so envious of you guys, when will I get to get close to the Commander...?"

Ke Wei: "Ahem, this is something that can only be understood intuitively and cannot be explained in words. Don't worry, at the Commander's pace, you should be arriving soon as well as Blücher."

(Great? Great my foot! I didn't taste a single bit.)

Blücher: "Ah, I hope so,"

Gorizia: "But speaking of which, you don't have any experience to share. Mya and the others added several points before, what about you? In order to give the Commander a good experience in the future, I need to learn a lot."

Ke Wei: "Well... I feel that what my wife and Essex said at the beginning was pretty much all there was to say, and I have nothing more to add."

Blücher: "Huh? Everyone else was fine until you suddenly became such a mess. Are you hiding something from me?! Confess now!"

Fearless: "No, really no. I'd like to discover some hidden little XPs of the Commander, but what could I possibly notice in that situation?"

San Francisco: "Hey, something seems off about you, Kewei. You'd usually have several essays by now, right? Why do you seem so unenthusiastic? Kewei, you wouldn't be...?"

Formidable: "What could it be? What could it be? San Francisco, don't make wild guesses. I'm just too tired from being tormented by the Commander. It's already good enough that I can reply to your messages."

(No! Please, sis, stop making wild guesses. Seriously, I'm so young, I don't want to become a clown so early!)

San Francisco: "You fearsome guy, you weren't killed instantly by the Commander, were you?"

"what?"

Chapter 158 Vida Sauce

Kewei: "It wasn't instantaneous, it just didn't last as long as I expected, only a dozen minutes."

(This time should be about right...)

Essex: "It's okay, take your time, it'll only take me about half an hour."

(Fifteen minutes? That's so long?! She remembered that she only lasted a few minutes, ugh~ why does she suddenly feel so embarrassed?)

Gorizia: "Well, although, these things usually depend on the commander's availability, right?"

Essex: "You don't understand, and I can't really explain it to you, but you'll understand when the time comes. But after what you guys said, I suddenly miss the Commander a bit."

Sakebori: "I'm thinking about it too..."

Blücher: "Seriously! What are you even thinking?! You've already gotten your hands on the Commander and you're still complaining. You've all finished being intimate with the Commander, but I haven't even touched the Commander's hand yet... Ugh, thinking about it like that suddenly makes me so sad!"

San Francisco: "Thank you. I was feeling pretty down, but your comforting words, Blücher, have suddenly made me feel much better."

Blücher: "Well, that's quite a show of politeness, isn't it?"

......

Port area, inside the ship girl dormitory.

After consulting with the female Kitchen Goddess at the clinic in the afternoon about psychological issues, my restless heart finally calmed down.

Jin Lu, who had just returned to her dormitory, did not rush back to her own room. Instead, she went to the door of the room next door and knocked on it.

"Vida, are you asleep?"

After knocking on the door and waiting for a while, seeing no response from inside, Jinlu assumed that Vida had already fallen asleep and was about to leave when she heard some sounds coming from inside.

Curious, Jinlu pressed her ear against the door and listened. After confirming she hadn't misheard and could hear movement inside, Jinlu thought for a moment, then her form began to gradually fade...

Inside the house, Vida, who hadn't seen Jinlu for a while, hesitated for a moment before getting out of bed after hearing the knock. He was about to open the door to see who was outside when suddenly a head popped out of the door.

"The door to the house has come to life!"

Clutching a cartoon pillow depicting You Ran, Vida was so startled that she took several steps back before finally falling to the floor. As her bare, delicate feet traced a swirling arc in the air, Vida instinctively pulled out her 12-pound long-barreled cannon from her ship's rigging and aimed it at the door.

"No! Vida! Don't fire! It's me! Golden Deer!"

Seeing that Vida had taken out all his tools, Jinlu was startled and quickly waved his hand.

"Golden, Golden Deer...?" Slumped to the ground, watching the Golden Deer emerge from the doorway, Veda breathed a sigh of relief. She initially wanted to throw whatever she was holding to vent her anger, but realizing the pillow was her favorite Commander, she quickly withdrew her hand. Her spellcasting interrupted, Veda could only pout angrily, "Stupid Golden Deer! How many times have I told you not to come into my room like that! You still insisted! If you do this again, I'm going to tell the Commander!"

"Sigh, I do wish the Commander could keep an eye on me." Golden Deer sighed. "Alright, alright, I'll be more careful next time. Veda, quickly download something called 'Forum' on my phone. I heard from Vestal Goddess that it can help me de-stress."

"Forum? Why would you want to de-stress there? If you really want to de-stress, you might as well eat snacks or play games."

After the crisis of the door coming to life was resolved, Vida quickly returned to her usual laziness. Since the floor was relatively clean and she usually liked to play games lying on the floor anyway, Vida simply didn't bother to get up.

"Give me your phone." Vida held out her small hand to Golden Deer.

“I don’t know, that’s what the goddess of the hearth said.” As she spoke, Jinlu handed over the phone, then recalled the goddess of the hearth’s exact words, “She said that it might be a place where I could temporarily satisfy my desire for the commander.”

"Okay... all done..." After a few actions, he handed the phone back to Jinlu. Then, as if all his strength had been drained, Vida hugged a pillow and lay down on the floor: "But Jinlu, you could have done this little thing yourself, why did you have to ask me?"

"I just thought I'd come and see you since we haven't seen each other for so long, and besides, I always feel like it's too much trouble to do it myself."

As she spoke, Jin Lu casually clicked on the forum, wanting to see what magic it held that could help her relieve stress. However, she was immediately drawn to a title as soon as she clicked in.

"Regarding the Commander, I've discovered a huge secret that could change your 30-year-old stereotypes about him! Includes some suggestive images of the Commander; discussion is welcome."

This post is the same one Noshiro posted not long ago. After this period of fermentation, it has become the most popular post on the forum, and there are still ship girls discussing it in it.
