KanColle does not allow me to work from nine to five

As usual, Louis IX wore a skirt-style coat that was easy to move in, and pure cotton black stockings for ease of movement, which only served to highlight his slender and tight legs. This stern Templar Knight was meticulous in his work, and because of this, he was a bit rigid, which was quite in line with Liu Cheng's stereotype of devout religious believers.

Liu Cheng motioned Louis IX to stand on his other side and said sincerely: "Louis IX, you are here at the right time. Please criticize me harshly."

Then I can forgive myself.

Liu Cheng is certainly not a rigid and pretentious person. He can adjust himself. The reason why he went to Richelieu was, on the one hand, that he wanted to listen to other people's opinions, and on the other hand, after talking, he could quickly vent his fearless emotions and regain his rationality faster.

Louis IX was not a shy person. He always spoke frankly: "Lord Richelieu is too tolerant of you, Commander. Some things are not necessarily wrong if they are not consensual. Commander, as an elder, you should guide them not to fall into emotional confusion. As a leader, you should be strict with yourself, so that you can lead us to go further."

Liu Cheng did not refute. Instead, Richelieu spoke first: "Louis, you are a devout warrior, but sometimes you are too rigid. If you constrain others completely according to the doctrine, what is the difference between that and what Iron Blood is doing now? Leadership requires rules, but also emotions. What's more, the commander would say such a thing to me, which proves that he has morals and bottom lines in his heart. We should trust the commander."

"Of course I trust the commander. My actions represent my attitude."

Louis IX insisted: "But it cannot be restricted by morality alone. I think the commander should accept the rules."

"Louis, you are a person with sustenance, so you don't know that some ship girls' sustenance is emotional. Do you want the commander not to respond to their sustenance?"

“I think there should be another way.”

Richelieu pursed her lips. She looked at the beautiful but serious Templar Knight through Liu Cheng's face, feeling a little helpless. In a sense, Louis IX was more pious than her, so even though he had long understood her rigidity, Richelieu still had not been able to persuade her.

Liu Cheng's focus was on another aspect: "Louis IX, why are you here alone?"

Louis IX stared at him, "Commander, are you trying to change the subject?"

"No, I'm just a little curious."

"Like you, I am more concerned about the transformation of the ship. After all, this is where we will live in the future, so I came to take a look."

"Didn't Joan of Arc come with you?"

"No, she's cooking dinner with Ron, and I can handle it all by myself."

Louis IX spoke in a calm tone and did not think there was anything wrong with him being a loner. However, Liu Cheng thought it was a big problem.

"Well, I think what you said makes sense, and I also want to correct my own style." Liu Cheng said, "How about this, I hope you can supervise me for a while and point out the mistakes I made in time, how about it?"

"can."

Louis IX agreed immediately, showing a faint smile and said appreciatively, "As expected of a commander, you are very conscious. I will do my best to assist you!"

Richelieu blinked at Liu Cheng, somewhat confused, but Liu Cheng smiled, as if everything was under control.

"In that case, it's getting late. Please go back to eat. It's best to go to bed before nine o'clock."

Louis IX looked serious. Liu Cheng's mouth twitched. Nine o'clock? He hadn't slept before midnight for a long time. His biological clock had been affected.

Richelieu smiled at Liu Cheng and asked, "Do you have everything under control now?"

Chapter 29: Subliminal Influence

As a morally normal person, Liu Cheng certainly felt a little guilty about eating Janus dry. It took him some time to transition from pity to love for Jarvis, but for Janus, before he hugged her petite body, his love for her was mostly for his sister. There were indeed some psychological barriers to developing a relationship between a man and a woman all of a sudden.

Especially Janus’s petite and cute body, and that innocent and moving reaction, really made Liu Cheng feel a pleasure of defiling purity, and after the pleasure he felt even more guilty.

However, Liu Cheng was not a hypocritical person. After self-adjustment and talking to Richelieu, he quickly adjusted his mentality. After all, even if such a thing happened again, Liu Cheng would make the same decision and respond to Janus's feelings. Although he was immature, as a capable little nurse, Janus was just a little shy, not immature. What's more, the ship girls are not human beings, and we can't use human concepts to speculate on them. Even Liu Cheng is no longer an ordinary person now.

As for treating other little lolis, there is no problem at all. As long as you adjust your mindset, you can love them like sisters and daughters. After all, this commander is not a sex-hungry ghost, and having many wives does not mean that all the ship girls are my wives (although they almost were in the future).

Therefore, Liu Cheng actually had several intentions in his arrangements for Louis IX.

Firstly, his life has been a bit chaotic recently, and the people who can remind him are all ship girls like Belfast, Glory, and Ron, who will tolerate Liu Cheng without any bottom line at most.

Louis IX's somewhat rigid character would make her stick to her principles and speak bluntly.

"Commander, I know you may not be happy and want to sleep a little longer, but going to bed early and getting up early is good for your health. Morning jogging can not only exercise your body, but also allow you to breathe fresh air. As a commander, a healthy body is also very important."

"No, I'm very happy."

Liu Cheng spoke to Louis IX sincerely, and then happily went for a morning run around the Royal Port area with Triumph, Southwest Wind and others. God had mercy on him, Liu Cheng hadn't had a leisurely nine-to-five life for a long time. Of course, it was also related to his addiction to the gentle countryside. He didn't want to sleep at night and couldn't get up in the morning.

Louis IX followed them and found that Liu Cheng was not just perfunctory, but was really happy. The Templar Knight tilted his head and found that he didn't seem to understand his commander. But why did he trust him so much in his heart? Was it just because of Richelieu?

Secondly, the existence of Louis IX can help Liu Cheng solve some minor troubles.

They were still helping the royal ship girls transform the mind cube. Again, there were a bunch of people crowded in the room, some reading, some chatting, some playing with their phones. The difference was that the majestic Louis IX stood behind Liu Cheng.

So when Elizabeth and Heroic started running around the table because of the quarrel, Louis IX said righteously: "Your Majesty Queen Elizabeth, you are the leader of the royal family. Please don't do such an outrageous thing. Not only will it disturb our commander's work, it may also affect the transformation of your royal ship girl's mind cube."

"..."

Although Elizabeth was a little arrogant, she had to give up when faced with such well-reasoned arguments, and more importantly, because it involved the reputation of the royal family.

He said with his hands on his hips, "Did you hear me, Elizabeth? Don't embarrass our royal family again."

"Same to you, sir."

"..."

The heroic and complacent expression suddenly drooped, and Elizabeth laughed secretly on the side.

Louis IX would not pamper anyone, and she judged each of her companions equally.

However, Louis IX's prestige was obviously limited. After a while, Elizabeth made a comeback and began to pester Liu Cheng to tell her stories.

Louis IX was about to say something but stopped herself. She now deeply felt that being a commander was really not easy. There were many things to do in both life and work.

Although Liu Cheng actually regarded these things as a pastime, after all, it would be too boring to do the same thing all day long.

Thirdly, and the most important reason, Liu Cheng hopes that the loner Louis IX can understand that she is not a warrior in life and can get along well with other ship girls and enjoy life.

"I think it's better to be careful. As far as I know, a maid's service to her master shouldn't include this kind of behavior."

In the lounge, Liu Cheng rested his head on Belfast's legs as usual, while Scylla was massaging his thighs on the other side. All the fatigue of half a day was dissipated at this moment.

Louis IX knew how hard Liu Cheng worked, but her personality still made her speak her mind.

In response, Belfast smiled and said, "Miss Louis IX is not a maid, so she may not understand the maid's determination to devote everything to her master. Moreover, I will feel very happy if I realize my own value."

Scylla also said: "It is always Scylla's honor to take care of the master."

Louis IX remained silent. She knew that she was not a maid and should not say too much about things she did not understand.

In the evening, Regensburg hugged Liu Cheng's arm and couldn't wait to kiss him on the face, and then noticed that Louis IX was also there.

Regensburg, who was proud but completely conquered by Liu Cheng, immediately raised his tail and explained: "It's not that I want to do this, but the higher beings are naturally attractive to people like me who are slightly lower, so I can't help but do this. When I am above the commander, he will take the initiative to kiss me..."

"Is there any difference?" Liu Chengwang cut in and left Regensburg speechless.

“It seems to make no difference…”

"After all, the rules are made by the strong." Liu Cheng said meaningfully, "Moreover, the rules are used to restrain oneself, not to demand others."

Regensburg was a little surprised: "Do you have any rules for me?"

"No, because there's no need. You'll obey me anyway."

"... Damn it, but you're not wrong..."

Liu Cheng glanced at Louis IX, seeing that she seemed to be thinking about something, and thought that it would not be so easy for her to change, and that she would be influenced slowly and imperceptibly.

In the evening, there was a bonfire party.

"Hey, honey, did you miss me? You must have missed me, you definitely missed me, right, right?"

The beautiful girl Cheshire hugged Liu Cheng from behind, acting like a cat.

Louis IX was numb and didn't want to say anything about it being in broad daylight or corrupting morals. Oh, yes, it was already night...

However, when Louis IX watched everyone start to dance around the campfire with Liu Cheng, she suddenly understood why some people wanted to be with Liu Cheng even though they were just reading a book or playing with their mobile phones.

"Louis IX, what are you daydreaming about? Come together."

"Ah? I'm not good at..."

Louis IX

Liu Cheng pulled her over and joined the group circling around the bonfire. She still didn't quite understand, but she understood a little bit.

Chapter 30 Confirmation of Candidates

Time passed quickly, and there were only a few royal ship girls who had not yet received Liu Cheng's mind cube transformation.

At the same time, the situation in the human world is turbulent, but a delicate balance is maintained between the ship girls. Now there is indeed no endless wrangling and buck-passing. After all, there is not even a meeting, and of course there is no opportunity for wrangling. Whether it is Azur Lane or Crimson Axis, they are not for internal strife, but to fight against the Sirens.

Therefore, at present when there are no major movements from the Sirens, the consequences of division have not yet emerged, and the institutional advantages that the Red Axis believes to be efficient have not yet emerged.

But Liu Cheng doesn't think there is any advantage in this. He is more worried about the Pacific battlefield. Compared with the Atlantic battlefield, which has been transformed by Liu Cheng's mind cube and has improved its strength, the White Eagles and the Sakura Empire, which originally had a large defense area and had completely torn their faces apart, may face greater problems.

The renovation work on the Unity has been completed. As the scheduled departure time draws closer, Elizabeth knows that there is no point in delaying any further, so she agrees with Liu Cheng's opinion, of course with some discounts.

"Twenty people is impossible. The pressure on my side is also very great. I can lend you fifteen at most, and the maximum time is one year. If something happens during the process, I want to call them back, and you can't stop me. The candidates cannot be designated by you or me. They must agree to sign up."

"can."

Liu Cheng agreed to all of them. He originally thought that it would be good enough to borrow ten ship girls, and fifteen was already a pleasant surprise. As for the one-year lease period, Liu Cheng was confident that after a year, the entire Royal Port area might be named Liu.

Elizabeth pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then put her hands on her hips and said, "There is one more thing. You must video call me every month, no, every week, and tell me the situation of the Royal Navy girls. Otherwise, I will be worried. Do you understand?"

“I let others…”

"No, it has to be you, a servant. You must complete it without any compromise. Do you understand?"

Liu Cheng blinked, looked at Elizabeth's cute little face, and suddenly understood something.

"Yes, my Queen."

"That's pretty much it..."

Elizabeth raised her little face proudly, then it drooped a little. She didn't know why she was unhappy.

Originally in Liu Cheng's plan, the list of personnel he made was - Vengeance, Glory, Perseus, Monarch, Cheshire, Belfast, Scylla, Jarvis and Janus. There was also an extra-staff member, the Prince of Wales. She was very familiar with the White Eagle's ship girl, so she would follow Liu Cheng to the White Eagle. After all, in theory, she and Hood were both powerful leaders of the camp, especially in the current situation, it was not suitable for them to leave the port for a long time.

Since Elizabeth has given out fifteen places, Liu Cheng certainly will not waste them, so he asks Prince of Wales to spread the news, hoping that interested ship girls can contact him. If it is still not enough, he can only ask Belfast to look for one among the maid corps. The little maids are easy to talk to, and the combat effectiveness of the light cruiser is also very important.

Liu Cheng thought that there should be some people who signed up, but not too many, after all, they would be far away from the Royal Port and would not be able to see the Royal sisters for a while. Moreover, many ship girls might be willing in their hearts, but they were very reserved.

The results were quite unexpected and the registration was full soon.

The first event I signed up for was javelin. Besides wanting to follow sister Jarvis, I also just became good friends with z23 and really didn't want to be separated from him.

Actually...

"From now on, I can live on the same warship with my big brother, no, I should call him commander. When I wake up in the morning and face the rising sun, I'll see the commander walking towards me and gently say, 'Javelin, you're still as cute as ever... Hahaha, I'm just kidding, just kidding."

"Javelin, please pay attention." z23 was a little worried about Javelin's mental state.

"It's okay, I'm just happy. Nimi and I will share a room from now on!"

"Alright."

Unicorn's reason was similar to Javelin's. She wanted to follow Sister Guanghui and didn't want to be separated from her for a long time. Of course, there was another more important reason, which Unicorn didn't tell anyone, and she didn't know whether she should tell it or not.

"Isn't Kewei adorable? Doesn't my brother want to enjoy every day with Kewei? My brother has clearly said that I am the most beautiful princess, so please stop saying one thing and doing another, okay!"

Kewei hugged Liu Cheng's arm and acted coquettishly, rubbing her breasts, which were just as radiant and full of shape, tightly against Liu Cheng's arm. What was even more lethal was her sweet voice. The elegant young lady pouted and acted coquettishly, which was really irresistible.

Liu Cheng almost couldn't bear it, but he still said: "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You want to be out there without Shengli and the others to control you, and you can be free and unfettered, right?"

Kewei has already revealed her true nature in front of Liu Cheng. She looks like an elegant young lady, but in fact she is a cute girl who likes to act coquettishly. The contrast between her salty and sweet personalities is really touching.

"No, Sister Guanghui is here..."

Ke Wei wanted to struggle a bit, but when he saw Liu Cheng's playful smile, he just gave up.

"I really want to relax and be with you, brother. Please, brother~"

"Okay, okay, you go find Guanghui. If she agrees, I'll agree." Liu Cheng had actually already acquiesced. Who could stand being acted like a spoiled brat like this? It made her bones so soft.

"You are the commander. If you agree, Sister Guanghui will definitely agree too."

"Okay, okay, stop shaking. I agree."

"Hehe, brother is the best!"

Kewei was so happy that she kissed Liu Cheng on the face. Then her cheeks immediately turned red and she became a little incoherent. She was really adorable.

Because of the terrible head start, it is a little difficult to register as a victory.

Neptune's reason for signing up was still so arrogant - "Don't get me wrong, I'm worried about Cheshire going with you. She's so stupid that she'll have to help you count the money even if you sell her out."

Liu Cheng blinked and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will sell you out too?"

"If you can do it, you're capable. Come on."

Neptune put his index finger on his pink lips, looking calm and at ease, his joy not visible from his expression at all.

Plymouth also joined the maid group. She was still as elegant and generous as before, as beautiful as an angel, and as exquisite as a doll.
