KanColle does not allow me to work from nine to five

"Okay, isn't this the purpose of our exercise? I'll accompany you."

Prince Eugen's ship equipment also began to show its prowess. Even though it was just a heavy cruiser, its momentum was not inferior at all.

Seeing that the atmosphere was tense and ready to explode, Zara, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, "Where's Ron?"

She suddenly realized that she always felt

What's wrong: "No, you are stalling for time. Liu Cheng is not on the boat anymore!"

As she spoke, Zara flipped over lightly and jumped into the sea from the edge of the deck. The ship's equipment was instantly deployed, and the radar covered all the surrounding sea areas.

Littorio, Pola and the others did not hesitate and quickly jumped off the ship along with Zara.

Prince Eugen exchanged a look with Hutten, gestured to the Iron Blood ship girls, and landed on the sea unwillingly. As long as Roan hadn't come back, they would try their best to buy time for her. As for the rift with Sardinia, Iron Blood didn't care. What does my march have to do with you? This was the pride of Iron Blood, and it was also one of the reasons why Iron Blood was hated by others.

"The banquet isn't over yet. Are you leaving like this without giving us the face we deserve?" Prince Eugen accelerated and drove to the side of the Sardinian ship girls on the sea.

Zara asked anxiously, "Then let me ask you, where did Ron go? Is Liu Cheng with her?"

"I don't know." Prince Eugen said nonsense casually, "Maybe he eloped. I will still investigate your people for kidnapping Ron."

"hehe."

Zara sneered and ignored Prince Eugen. Instead, she exchanged glances with her colleagues. The tacit understanding on the battlefield made them quickly understand what he meant, and they dispersed to search in different places.

The Iron-Blooded Ship Girl also followed suit.

"So today's exercise is about pursuit?"

"Huten! Don't think I can't fire."

"Then go ahead. I'll keep you company."

The situation was in complete chaos, with no formation at all. Some ship girls on both sides, although puzzled, began to get angry, and perhaps at the next moment shells would be fired from their ships.

But this did not happen -

Zara paused, and so did Littorio.

Prince Eugen and Hutten and the others were also stunned on the sea.

Because they saw that Liu Cheng was being held in Ron's arms like a princess, and was waving at them not far away.

What kind of strange development is this?

Chapter 39 The Responsibility Is All Yours

"Slow down, the water is very hot, be careful not to burn your tongue."

"Ah - open your mouth. No, even if you can eat by yourself you still need me to feed you. Be good, I am apologizing to you."

"I'm fine. The Shipgirl is in good health. Besides, isn't she beautiful with her body wet like this? Hehe, I'm staring at her."

The sun shone through the slowly rising sky. The dining table and chairs on the deck became a mess because of the confrontation just now. Especially now that the ship girls were gathered in groups of three or four in different corners, the originally beautiful banquet almost turned into a riot scene.

However, the ship girls were not in the mood to clean up, because almost every one of them was full of doubts.

Liu Cheng returned in a disheveled state, with his hair and clothes half-dried and stuck to his body. His exposed skin was covered with salt particles from the evaporated sea water, and he looked exhausted, obviously having been badly tortured.

But Liu Cheng couldn't be said to be in a completely embarrassed state, because Ron brought him back carefully in a princess-carrying posture, and it seemed that it was not Ron who was tormenting him.

Liu Cheng, who was already on board, was sitting in a chair and receiving Ron's care, feeding him water and porridge, wiping his face and massaging his shoulders. The beautiful pink-haired girl lowered her eyebrows and looked at him pleasantly, and every move she made was so gentle and considerate.

Liu Cheng also accepted it with peace of mind. He had become what he is now, accepted the test, and completed his mission. Shouldn't he enjoy himself now?

However, such a scene seems quite strange in the eyes of others.

"Damn it, we were so worried about him, and this is the end?" Bora gritted her teeth and looked at Liu Cheng being taken care of by Ron. She felt angry and unworthy. We were about to fight with the Iron Blood people here, and you went to have a water fight with Ron? How can you be close?

Zara stopped her sister who was about to go up with her fists clenched, and shook her head gently at her.

She was also very curious about what happened. Zara originally guessed that Liu Cheng should have been taken away by Ron for questioning or something else. After all, Iron Blood had some purpose in involving Liu Cheng in this exercise. Now seeing the look on Ron and Liu Cheng's face, Zara didn't feel that surprised. Maybe this was Liu Cheng, the sinful brother.

Littorio had guessed the cause and effect. She lightly lifted her chin and murmured to herself, "Turning enemies into friends, this kind of charm is at least 50% of my power. I really want to possess you more and more."

The Sardinian ship girl at least knew the result, but the Iron-Blooded ship girls who knew the cause were even more confused.

Hutten and Prince Eugen exchanged glances several times in a short period of time, but no valuable conclusions were drawn.

After all, they knew that it was Ron who took Liu Cheng away on his own initiative, so that Liu Cheng would expose his true words, deeds and thoughts when he was away from Sardinia and faced life and death. Even if Liu Cheng saw through his intentions, it didn't matter. If he could remain flawless under Ron's aura, it would show that he was indeed a hero.

So, this is a perfect test, and you win whether you complete it or not.

But even someone as far-sighted and calm as Hu Teng did not expect such a result.

How come it seems like the test wasn't completed, but Ron got stuck in it instead?

"So, what happened? Can you tell us now?" Zara couldn't help but speak. If she continued to watch Ron

It was a gentle and intimate gesture, and she didn't know what she would do.

"Then let me tell you about it."

Liu Cheng waved his hand, signaling Ron not to feed him any more hot water. Ron hummed and stood obediently behind Liu Cheng.

"It wasn't that complicated. Tiexue wanted to test me, but I was knocked unconscious by a surprise attack. I don't know whether I passed the test or not. But Ron and I became friends after fighting each other. Since we are friends, there is no conflict between us. Then we came back."

Bora waited for Liu Cheng to continue, and when she found that he had stopped talking, she subconsciously asked, "And then?"

"That's it, nothing more."

"That's it? That's it?"

Pora looked at Liu Cheng and then at Ron, and then turned her gaze to those iron-blooded ship girls who had been so arrogant just now. After figuring out the situation, Pora suddenly wanted to laugh. This was just a case of losing both the wife and the army.

Littorio cleared his throat and said, "It seems that the matter is very clear. Eugen, Hutten, it was your people who kidnapped and restrained my Sardinian soldier Liu Cheng without authorization. This is a naked provocation and infringement. The responsibility lies entirely with you."

After a brief pause, Littorio looked at Prince Eugen's stern face and couldn't help but smile: "Of course, our soldiers have not suffered any substantial harm, and have become friends with your people. I am not impossible to consider withdrawing my intention to pursue responsibility. What do you think, Prince Eugen?"

Littorio knew that pursuing the matter further would lead to no results, but would only bring shame to Tiexue, while Sardinia would gain the upper hand in momentum.

"As you wish. You are not so strong as to deny what you have done." Prince Eugen crossed his chest with one hand and lightly covered his lower lip with his right index finger. After being surprised, she was more amazed. "You always surprise people. How about it, what do you think?"

Liu Cheng said with a straight face, "I want to apologize. As a member of the Sardinian Navy, I have been treated so rudely by you. I want you to solemnly apologize to me and to our Sardinian Navy."

After saying that, Liu Cheng glanced at Zara and the others, meaning that I was still on the right track, right? After all, he still felt a little guilty after being looked at by their playful eyes for so long.

Prince Eugen said: "No problem, I can represent..."

"It's not you."

Ron said at the right time from behind: "The person who knocked you out before was Hu Teng. I have already apologized. Hu Teng, you should apologize too."

Hu Teng glanced at Ron with her yellow eyes. She really couldn't imagine why Ron became so obedient in such a short time. However, she didn't hesitate and said directly: "I apologize. I didn't respect you enough and underestimated you."

Liu Cheng glanced at Littorio, who nodded to him.

So Liu Cheng said, "Okay, I accept it, and this won't happen again."

Littorio said with a smile on his face: "We Sardinians are broad-minded, but that doesn't mean we will always tolerate such petty tricks. My iron-blooded colleagues, please pay attention. This will not happen again."

Hu Teng shrugged without making any comment. She was a person who dared to act and take responsibility, and would not take such verbal provocation to heart. She was more concerned about Liu Cheng. There was Tirpitz in front and Ron behind. Could this human male really be someone who could make the ship girls willingly drink poison as Tirpitz said?

"It was my fault anyway, and it turned out to be a blessing in disguise for me."

Ron gently took Liu Cheng's arm and said, "We have a shower room on the ship. Come with me to take a hot bath. Otherwise, it will be bad to catch a cold."

"I……"

Before Liu Cheng could comment, his other arm was grabbed by Zara. The beauty smiled and her beautiful eyes focused: “Don’t bother Miss Ron with this matter. We will take care of the people in Sardinia ourselves.”

"I'm here to apologize, please accept my apology, Liu Cheng." Ron did not back down. Instead, he held Liu Cheng's hands tightly in his arms, and his firm and soft legs suddenly spread to both sides to fully wrap around his arms.

"I don't think that's necessary. After this incident, it will take some time for the trust between the two of us to be rebuilt." Zara looked at Ron and also hugged Liu Cheng's arm. Her firmness was no less than Ron's, and even softer.

Liu Cheng felt his body suddenly stiffen. Zara's was softer, and Ron's was more elastic... No, what was he thinking about?

After looking at each other for a few seconds, they turned their gazes to Liu Cheng.

"follow me."

"Go back with me."

Liu Cheng's scalp tingled when he was stared at by the two, but he knew very well that he must not be clingy at this time, so he decisively said to Zara: "I'll go back with you to clean up."

After seeing Zara's smile, he said to Ron, "We are all friends. There is no hatred after the apology. There is a long way to go, and there will be many opportunities to meet and get along with each other in the future."

Ron pursed his lips stubbornly and hugged Liu Cheng's arms even tighter, but after a moment she resigned herself to letting go of Liu Cheng, then quickly pulled his hand to touch her soft and moist cherry lips. She licked his fingers gently with her small tongue, smiling like a flower.

"Today I am very satisfied, more satisfied than any before. I am looking forward to the tomorrow you promised me. I want more."

Zara couldn't laugh anymore. She twisted Liu Cheng's waist hard when she took him onto the plane.

"Your performance is OK, but you have to tell me the truth tonight."

Liu Cheng smiled bitterly, what was going on?

Sardin's helicopter left the landing pad of the Iron Blood destroyer, and Hutten asked, "Ron, what's going on?"

"that is

In this case, Liu Cheng passed the test. "Ron said seriously, "I now completely agree with Tirpitz's judgment of Liu Cheng. As long as it does not affect the core interests of Iron Blood, I have unconditional trust in him."

Prince Eugen frowned slightly: "Why?"

“Because he understands me.”

"anything else?"

"Isn't this enough?"

There was silence for a moment.

Hu Teng felt something: "That's enough. So he has the ability to fully understand the Mind Cube?"

Ron thought about it, nodded and said, "Not only can I understand it, I think he can also exert influence on the Mind Cube. Just by spending some time with him, I feel that all the accumulated pressure is gone."

"interesting."

Hutten and Prince Eugen looked at each other. If this was true, then there would be endless possibilities.

Chapter 40 Zara's Sense of Crisis

Of course, Liu Cheng couldn't take a hot bath immediately after he returned. It was inconvenient to ask more questions under the circumstances just now. In fact, everyone in Sardinia was very curious about Liu Cheng's experience.

Liu Cheng would definitely not tell the specific details as this was Ron's personal privacy, so he could only slightly process what happened before and tell everyone in Sardinia.

Perhaps he had already anticipated that Tiexue would put him through further tests, so he pretended to be fooled and followed Ron off the deck of the banquet. He cleverly saw through her sneak attack, and skillfully used military close combat techniques to fight Ron on equal terms. However, he did not expect Hu Teng to be unsportsmanlike and attack him from behind. Although he was defeated by two enemies at once, he was still honorable. He was knocked unconscious and was taken to the open sea by Ron.

Even though he had lost contact with the captains of Sardinia, he had not forgotten the elegance and honor he had learned from them in the past few days. He firmly believed that as a member of Sardinia, they were his strongest backing and would never give up on him, so he had never lost hope in his heart.

Of course, there is another very important point besides this. He knows that since this is a test for himself, he will not go beyond a certain framework and his life will not be in danger.

So he gave it a try and fought with Ron at sea for 300 rounds. The sea was churning, the sun and moon were dim, the waves rose from the ground, the wind and clouds turned the broken rocks into a lotus platform, and it was almost impossible to tell who would win. In the end, the two men appreciated each other, and Ron was also impressed by the fearless spirit he showed. They turned enemies into friends, and stopped fighting and made peace. It was a perfect ending in the end, which was really cause for celebration.

To be honest, although Liu Cheng's description has undergone some artistic processing, it is actually very consistent with the facts, so there is no logical problem. The little lolis were stunned when they heard it.

The introverted Xibeifeng looked at Liu Cheng with admiration. In her eyes, his embarrassed image was a warrior's medal.

Instead, the innocent Southwest Wind blinked his big eyes and asked, "Big brother, you are so powerful. I have seen Sister Ron fight before, and she was so fierce."

Liu Cheng cleared his throat and explained in front of the little lolita's admiring gaze: "Although humans are relatively weak compared to you shipgirls, I am an elite soldier after all. Besides, humans can burst out terrible power when they are extremely angry, so it is not impossible to fight."

"I know! I know!" Xi Nan Feng raised his hand excitedly and said, "Big brother, in the story you told me before, it mentioned that the genetic lock was unlocked, right?"

"Xianxinfeng, you are so insightful. Congratulations. You can answer the questions quickly." Liu Cheng took the opportunity to touch Xinanfeng's cute little head. Her hair was a rare color of silver on the outside and blue on the inside, and it felt very soft.

"Hehe, I'm also working hard for the glory of Sardinia." Southwest Wind smiled foolishly, enjoying the big brother's pat on her head very much.

Little girls are easier to fool, so adults will of course have some questions.

For example, Bola was a little skeptical. She kept looking at Liu Cheng's disheveled appearance and wrinkled clothes, and asked, "Can you really fight with Ron and not lose?"

"Pola, you actually doubted me about our friendship. I am sad."

Bora's pretty face turned slightly red, and she pouted and said, "I doubt what's wrong with you. It's normal to doubt. No matter how you look at it, you can't tie with Ron."

"Actually, I am being modest when I say it's a draw. In fact, I have a slight advantage." Liu Cheng said, "That's why Ron is so convinced of me."

Attacking the city is inferior to attacking the heart. There is nothing wrong with Liu Cheng's statement that he thinks he has the upper hand.

Bola wanted to say something, but she didn't have any reason at the moment. After all, Ron's performance was indeed seen by everyone, and it can be said that they were obedient and there was nothing wrong with it logically.

After all, in this matter, Liu Cheng's handling and response can be said to be problem-free, except that he did not communicate with the Sardinian ship girls in advance when he took advantage of the situation at the beginning.

Even the always proud and rigid Duke of Abruzzi praised him, saying: "I have to say you did a great job. You have the courage to face danger and the outstanding temperament that can even move your opponents. I admit that you also have the glory of our Sardinia."

Liu Cheng waved his hand modestly and said, "These are all spiritual nourishment drawn from you all. I just made a small contribution."
