Siren Commander, a mole in his own port

"...I don't know, what do you hope for?" There seemed to be a hint of confusion in Fargo's tone.

Luo Yun turned his head and glanced at Bremerton. His heart suddenly began to beat violently. Then he said firmly, "I am your master. You must remember this."

"Master...? Yes, I remember now. You are my master. I actually forgot such an important thing. I hope you will punish me." Fargo said with some guilt.

"Successful...? I really hypnotized Fargo?" Luo Yun looked at the ring in his hand in disbelief, and then asked Bremerton, "I shouldn't be dreaming, right?"

Bremerton slowly shook his head. "No, it's true. Leonardo da Vinci was a genius... in every sense of the word."

Leonardo da Vinci can make full use of the Ring of Oath, which is of great significance to the ship girls. With just a few words and without paying any price, he can fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the commanders. For this reason alone, Leonardo da Vinci is undoubtedly the number one inventor in the port area.

Fargo asked, "According to the emotional data analysis, confusion is your most prevalent emotion right now, accounting for 43.52%, followed by happiness, accounting for 27.47%. Is there something I'm doing wrong, my master?"

"Emotions can be quantified? As expected of a ship girl... But it has nothing to do with you, it's my personal problem." Luo Yun pondered for a moment, "Fago, do you realize that you are being hypnotized?"

Fargo didn't say anything, she didn't know how to answer this question.

"It seems you don't know. Well, I can't let you stay in this state forever, otherwise it will be easy for people to notice something is wrong."

Luo Yun thought for a moment and tried to follow the method he had read in the notebook: "When I snap my fingers, you will recover from the hypnotic state and forget everything that happened during this period. And when I say the five words 'white-haired boss lady', you will return to the hypnotic state. Three, two, one, wake up."

As the sound of snapping fingers rang out, almost at the same moment, Fargo's eyes instantly regained their former spirit. Although her pretty face still had no expression, she was completely different from before.

"Hmm...? Was I distracted just now?" Fargo muttered to himself, "Well, the hypnosis ring is indeed fake. Thank you for your cooperation. I will give the inspection video to Miss Da Vinci..."

Having almost forgotten this, Luo Yun quickly called out, "White-haired boss lady."

Fargo's voice suddenly stopped, and after hearing the hypnotic suggestion that was unique to her, the girl instantly entered the state of a puppet.

"Master, do you have any orders?"

Luo Yun ordered: "Delete the video in the recorder, and then we will reshoot it."

"Yes."

"Hmm~ This sounds like something out of some terrible adult novel." Bremerton said in amazement. "Are you going to do something naughty to her to assert your sovereignty? Do you need me to step aside?"

Chapter 108 Tips on Selling Goods

Luo Yun is well-read and knows very well what kind of treatment a beautiful girl will suffer after being hypnotized by a villain. Although Luo Yun feels that he is not a good person, he is still troubled about whether to take action against Fargo.

"Honestly, I don't plan to touch her." Luo Yun didn't seem as excited as Bremerton had imagined. He said in a deep voice, "I've used a lot of unconventional methods to deal with ship girls before, but they all showed varying degrees of acquiescence. But Fargo is different. I don't know what she wants at all. What if something unexpected happens and she wakes up from hypnosis..."

If Fargo falls in love with her at first sight, everyone will be happy. But if she feels that he is playing with her feelings and body, she will be doomed even with the commander's passiveness.

Besides, Luo Yun has had relationships with several ship girls, so he no longer needs to worry about the so-called one-year agreement, and his need for ship girls is not that urgent. There is really no reason to put himself in danger.

Bremerton thought for a moment and decided to offer a helping hand to Fargo, who was on the same side. "Even if you don't do anything, Fargo might not believe you when she wakes up. And if she finds out you can control her mind and body anytime, anywhere... Luo Yun, you don't think you can get away with doing nothing, do you?"

Of course Luo Yun didn't think so, but he couldn't think of a good solution for the time being. If he had to blame someone, he should blame Leonardo da Vinci for being too reckless. Not only did he have a dangerous idea, but he also turned it into reality. In the end, he involved innocent passers-by and ship girls. If Fargo was Richelieu, he wouldn't have to worry about it anymore.

"...You have a point." Luo Yun looked at the dazed Fargo and rubbed his brow. "Whether I want to or not, I must make Fargo fall in love with me wholeheartedly, and this is when she is not hypnotized. Otherwise, I can only pray that the hypnosis will never fail."

Bremerton suggested: "Why not try to let love grow over time? As long as you spend enough time together, even if the ship girl has a heart of stone, I don't believe she won't be attracted to you."

According to common sense, the tactic of falling in love with someone over time is ineffective against ship girls, but he has the passive ability of a commander, and even a ship girl like Hindenburg who is full of hostility towards him can be tamed by him. Presumably, the success rate of dealing with Fargo will not be low.

However, Luo Yun was not satisfied with this, he wanted to get a more stable means.

Luo Yun asked: "Fago, what type of commander do you have in mind?"

Fargo was silent for a moment, then said in his usual calm voice, "Sorry, Master, Fargo has never considered this issue."

"Let me put it another way. If I want to be your commander, what conditions do I need to meet?"

Although it sounds strange, hypnotizing the ship girl to treat him as a master and treating him as a commander are two completely different things. The former may just be a talk, but if you want the ship girl to treat him as a commander, you must let her identify with him from the bottom of her heart.

Luo Yun didn't know much about this aspect, but he also knew that he couldn't act as a commander from the beginning. He had to gradually break down Fargo's vigilance until she accepted him from the bottom of her heart, just like the hypnotic girl in the book, always gradually testing the other party's bottom line.

"...My lack of understanding of emotions will affect my commercial judgment." Fargo paused, bowed slightly, and said, "I would like to ask for your help in this regard."

Fargo is undoubtedly full of love for her commander. However, she is emotionally indifferent and extremely rational. She has no idea what love means, and she doesn't know how to express her love to Luo Yun. If the commander can teach her what love is, then she may become the commander's ideal type.

"You can even analyze my emotional index, but you still need me... Oh, I see. You only know the concepts, but you can't feel those emotions, right?"

"You are absolutely right, my lord."

Luo Yun thought for a moment and asked, "If I give you a mirror, can you analyze your own emotional index?"

Fargo shook his head slightly: "I don't need a mirror. I can monitor my physical condition and emotional index in real time."

"No, a mirror is necessary. Starting today, you have to take a selfie in front of it every day. The content is...a reward for yourself." Luo Yun gestured, his expression suddenly becoming playful. "Try a different posture or method every day. After you finish, write down your experience and send it to me along with the video."

Bremerton was stunned for a moment and grumbled quietly: "After saying so much, in the end he still has to do those awkward things. I really didn't misjudge him."

"I dare to do whatever I want to the ship girls who haven't been hypnotized, let alone Fargo who has lost the means of resistance." Luo Yun said shamelessly, "This is called planning before making decisions. I can't really do nothing, right?"

Fargo was just the beginning, or a test subject. Luo Yun was worried that he had no good way to deal with Richelieu. Da Vinci's invention was just a timely help. After trying the effectiveness of hypnosis on Fargo, he should deal with the Archbishop.

"Yes, Master, I will do as you command, but...what is rewarding myself?" Fargo asked with his head tilted, a hint of doubt in his eyes that had lost their luster.

Fargo really didn't know what to do. After all, if a ship girl didn't have a commander, she wouldn't have any desires, and naturally there would be no need to vent her desires. She could be said to be a pure and flawless piece of white paper.

All Luo Yun had to do was leave his name on this blank piece of paper, write down his needs on it, and then completely transform Fargo into his own shape.

"You don't know this? Well, the life of a ship girl is really monotonous." Luo Yun turned to look at Bremerton, "Bremerton, I'll leave this to you. I don't know how to teach her."

Bremerton's pretty face instantly flushed. "What are you talking about? You're making it sound like I'm good at this kind of thing?"

Luo Yun spread his hands: "I don't know whether you are good at it or not, but I know nothing about this kind of thing, and I don't believe that you have never done that kind of thing."

"Before coming to the port area, I really haven't done that kind of thing." Bremerton was not very confident. Although she was telling the truth, the number of times she did handicrafts increased significantly during this period, and every time she used Luo Yun's original clothes.

"That's all, I'll leave this matter to you. There's no need for her to be proficient in it, just knowing how to do it is enough."

Bremerton muttered, "Even if you say so... Oh, don't convenience stores sell those kinds of props? Let her buy one, no, buy a whole set!"

Chapter 109: Fargo the Frigid

"You have to do this first, then that, and then you'll start to feel it. Don't rush at this point, take your time and enjoy it for a while. It's best to have some original clothes on hand or... ahem, that's about it."

In a corner of the convenience store, Bremerton was pulling Fargo and whispering to her about the tricks of rewarding herself. However, a trace of confusion would flash across Sanwuji's pretty face from time to time, and it was obvious that she did not fully understand what Bremerton meant.

Although she and Luo Yun were in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, and they hugged, kissed, and touched each other, teaching Fargo how to reward himself in front of him really exceeded the limit of her shame.

Bremerton originally wanted to take Fargo to the lounge to teach her slowly, but for some reason Fargo refused to leave Luo Yun's sight no matter what. The girl had no choice but to pull her behind the shelves to ensure that Luo Yun could see the two of them, but not clearly.

"Is it like this?" Fargo caressed her body gently, but after a long while there was still no reaction. "It doesn't seem to be the feeling you described. Is there something I did wrong?"

Bremerton frowned and said, "That shouldn't be the case. Have you ever imagined something happening between you and Luo Yun?"

Fargo said honestly, "In my imagination, the master and I already have two lovely daughters."

"...Really? It shouldn't work that way." Bremerton pondered for a moment and fished out a pair of shorts from his pocket. "Try this again. If it doesn't work, I'll have to consider the possibility that you're asexual."

Although Luo Yunren was standing at the counter, his mind was always on the two of them. Looking at the shorts in Bremerton's hand, he murmured, "Those shorts look so familiar... Wait, aren't those mine? When did you steal them?"

Bremerton was prepared. She said proudly, "What are you talking about? I bought it with my own money, how can it be considered stealing? I still have the electronic receipt. Do you want to take a look?"

"Bought it? From whom... Sister Binjiang?" Luo Yun seemed to remember something, and his expression suddenly became much uglier. "No wonder she was still not quiet after falling asleep that night. It turns out she was stealing my clothes."

Bremerton waved his hands. "Oh, don't think so badly of us. We just want to help you wash your dirty clothes. In a few days, I will definitely return you a clean pair of shorts, but for now... lend it to me for a few days, Fargo, are you ready?"

"I've detected an increase in heart rate, a significant increase in the proportion of positive emotions, and a change in my physical state..." Fargo looked bewildered for a moment, then asked in confusion, "I've detected a completely new state. What is that?"

"Hehe, this is what I want to teach you. Remember this feeling, and then do as I say, slowly." Bremerton turned his head and threw a smug wink at Luo Yun. "She feels it just by using your original flavor. Luo Yun, you have a great chance."

"Then I really have to thank you." Luo Yun said helplessly.

To put things one way or another, although the method used by Bremerton is indeed somewhat unremarkable, the effect is also first-class.

In the eyes of the ship girls, there is no concept of making do or being almost there. They will only choose the person who is most compatible with them as the commander. Once Fargo has feelings for her, the position of commander is almost certain, it is just a matter of time.

Bremerton said coquettishly, "Verbal thanks are nothing. You should show some sincerity. I won't take a blank check."

"It's not too late to discuss rewards after the matter is completed." Luo Yun held up his face and asked curiously, "Fago, how are you now? Do you have the urge to burst out?"

"Nothing has changed. Maybe there has, but I can't detect it." Fargo took a deep breath and shook his head again after a moment. "I'm really sorry, Master. I do have sexual desire for you, but this desire is not enough to drive me to do anything."

Fargo didn't lie. Her biggest shortcoming was her lack of understanding of emotions, so much so that she often couldn't figure out what she wanted to do. Becoming the commander's wedding ship and starting a company were her only two obsessions. Apart from that, she was like a puppet with no desires or wants.

Because of this, Fargo is the perfect choice to play the hypnotized ship girl. The other ship girls would more or less run the risk of being exposed, but Fargo only needs to play herself to be perfect.

"It's not a big deal. I just want to confirm your attitude and let Bremerton teach you how to reward yourself." Luo Yun said slowly, "Just like I said just now, you have to take a selfie and check in at a fixed time every day, and write down your experience. Let's take it step by step. Sooner or later, you will be no different from ordinary people."

Fargo calmly put away his shorts and said seriously, "Yes, Master."

"That's all for today, Fargo. After I snap my fingers, you will forget everything that happened during hypnosis, but you will complete the tasks I assign you on time and won't notice anything wrong."

Luo Yun raised his right hand and was about to wake Fargo from hypnosis, but Bremerton quickly stopped him: "Wait a minute, she hasn't bought the props yet. You have to give her the hint that buying anything won't be strange to her. You have to make a killing from her."

Luo Yun was speechless for a moment: "...Isn't it a bit bad to ask her to pay for these things after I've hypnotized her?"

Bremerton said seriously, "Why not? Did your money just come from the wind? If you ask me, Fargo is the one who truly got something for nothing. Do you know how much her monthly allowance as a shipgirl is? A full 500,000 marks... Well, sorry to interrupt, but she's the owner of a freight company, so she doesn't need your little money."

"Master, are you short of money?" Fargo asked quietly, "If you need it, Fargo can give all my savings to you."

"Forget it. I'm only interested in people, not money. You can keep it for yourself to buy toys." Luo Yun said casually. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a figure from the corner of his eye and immediately his expression straightened. "We have guests. Please be careful and don't go too far... Welcome. What can I do for you... Owari?"

"Hmm~ It's me. Is this your convenience store? It's quite impressive." A dark-skinned, country girl named Owari walked in, carrying a small box in her arms. She curiously examined the store's decor. "I bet it gets a lot of customers. By the way, how are my fruits and vegetables selling?"

Luo Yun pointed to the empty shelves and said, "Look, they were sold out on the same day. I didn't expect the fruits and vegetables you grow to be so popular. You won't have to worry about selling them. I'll buy as many as you have in the future."

"Hehe, I'm glad I didn't cause you any trouble." Owari smiled brightly. "As for the purchase, I'll contact my partner Fargo. She should... Hmm? Fargo, why are you here?"

Chapter 110: Owari's Business

Owari was very surprised to see her partner here, but what surprised her even more was that Fargo had no reaction to her arrival, as if he treated her as air... no, it would be more accurate to say that he treated her as a stranger.

However, Owari was always a bit careless and thought it was just his own illusion. He greeted Fargo and said, "Fargo, why are you also in Luo Yun's convenience store?"

Fargo said nothing, just stared at Owari with empty eyes.

"Is there something dirty on my face? Why are you looking at me like that?" Owari touched his cheek and asked in confusion, "Hmm... I feel like you're acting weird today. Did something happen to you?"

"She was defrauded of her insurance by Da Vinci and is in a bad mood now. I suggest you don't provoke her for now." Luo Yun winked at Fargo, "Fargo, am I right?"

Fargo said calmly, "Yes, Da Vinci has dealt a heavy blow to our company's reputation and finances. I'm collecting evidence and hope the Northern Union Police Department can give me justice."

Owari was stunned. "Huh? What's insurance fraud? And what's with the Da Vinci thing?"

"The story is quite complicated. I'll tell you slowly so that Fargo doesn't have to recall the painful experience again."

Luo Yun was afraid that Owari would notice that something was wrong with Fargo, so he quickly stood between the two of them, then grabbed Owari's arm and walked outside without saying a word.

"Eh? Hey! Wait, wait a minute, I have something to ask Fargo...Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. Let me put my things down first."

Later, in front of the convenience store.

After listening to Luo Yun's exaggerated and deceptive explanation, Owari not only didn't understand what happened, but became even more confused. However, she was worried that Luo Yun would think she was stupid, so she could only pretend to be enlightened: "So that's how it is, I understand!"

No, actually you didn’t understand at all, did you?

After all, it was a lie he had made up, so Luo Yun didn't want to talk about it too much, so he changed the subject and said, "By the way, what are you here for? Shopping?"

"No, I came here specially to thank you." Owari pointed to the small box she placed on the counter and smiled sheepishly, "That's a thank-you gift I brought you. It's some snacks I made myself. I hope they suit your taste."

Luo Yun was greatly surprised: "You can cook? That's right, you can farm now, of course you can't waste the fruits of your labor."

Owari patted his chest and said proudly, "Ahaha, because Kii and Suruga often say that the standard of a virtuous wife is to be able to do both housework and cooking. Don't look at me like that, I do all the cleaning, laundry, and cooking."

"Becoming a good wife and mother is your ideal?" Luo Yun hinted, "Then you need a husband, um, such as your future commander?"

"Oh, that's right. You have to get married before you can become a wife. I didn't realize this before." Owari suddenly realized it, and her pretty face flushed slightly. "No, no, the port area is isolated from the world. It's not that easy to find the man you like. I, I have no plans to leave the port area."

"Men? Are gender issues so important?" Luo Yun joked and tested the issue. "I heard that shipgirls don't care whether their commanders are male or female, or even human. If you insist on being obsessed with men, you might not be able to find a partner."

Owari showed a helpless look: "Then I have no choice but to remain a widow. I can't just make do with my life just to be a good wife and mother... Ah, sorry, I'm not talking about you. If, if my husband was Mr. Luo Yun, I, I would be very honored... Wow, what did I say!"

There is only one male, Luo Yun, in Minato. That is to say, if Owari insists on having a husband, then her candidate list will only have Luo Yun from beginning to end. It is hard to say who will choose whom at that time.

Although no matter how many candidates there are, Owari will always have only one choice, but revealing his feelings in front of Luo Yun really makes Owari shy.

Luo Yun smiled and agreed: "If I could marry a wife like Miss Owari, well... married life would be very interesting, right?"

"Is that so? Oh, right, besides giving you a gift, I have something else I'd like to ask for your help with." Owari said hurriedly, as if he had thought of something. "Um, well, last night Miss Binjiang came to me to discuss a partnership. She said she'd like to open a fruit and vegetable shop for me on the shopping street. She'll cover the rent, utilities, and I'll just be responsible for selling the goods. We'll split the profits 50-50 afterwards."

Luo Yun was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's great! Aren't you worried about not being able to sell your fruits and vegetables? With Sister Binjiang's help, you won't have to worry about being ripped off by unscrupulous merchants anymore."

"I, I also think it's a good thing, but Miss Binjiang's smile makes me feel uneasy, as if there is some trap in it." Owari said worriedly, "You are the smartest among all the people I know, so, that's why I want you to help me with advice. Luo Yun, do you think I should agree to her?"

Luo Yun was puzzled and asked, "I am the smartest? What's the basis for that?"

Owari smiled shyly and said, "Because you are the only one who helped me sell the fruits and vegetables, which is something that Kii and Suruga have not been able to do."

"...Okay, that does make sense." Luo Yun nodded. This girl was just as she said, not very smart. After all, no matter how you looked at it, she was in cahoots with Sister Binjiang, so there was no reason for her to ask him for help.

But to be honest, given Sister Binjiang's personality, she probably just wants to build a good relationship with Binjiang, or she has other unknown but definitely not evil plans. Owari will most likely not suffer any loss, and the most likely outcome is a win-win cooperation between the two.
