KanColle does not allow me to work from nine to five

Liu Cheng looked directly at Musashi and said word by word: "Musashi, I want you."

Chapter 10 I don’t like people who act like a spoiled child in front of many women

Such a domineering speech made Musashi frown slightly, because she found that her heart, which was always soft-hearted, was actually trembling. No, she was the insightful and dignified Musashi, and she should not have a girlish heart because of such a childish speech.

"So that's your intention." Musashi opened and closed his eyelids slightly, and pulled his wide sleeves forward, subconsciously covering the deep white ravines on his chest. "The so-called way to make the ship girl sincerely convinced by you is to use this most old-fashioned political marriage. Do you think that after you get me, the Sakura Empire will surrender to you?"

"Maybe?"

This time, it was Liu Cheng who took the initiative to pick up the kettle and pour a glass of water for Musashi. "Since there is a simple way, why should I lose sight of the main point and pursue the trivial? My purpose has been known to everyone from the beginning. I want to unite all the ship girls around me and truly eliminate the contradictions between them from the essence."

Musashi's beautiful eyes focused: "Is it possible?"

"Of course it is possible."

Liu Cheng thought for a moment, pointed at Chicheng beside him and said, "Let's take Chicheng as an example."

"Hey, Commander?"

Akagi looked at Liu Cheng with some confusion. She had just been immersed in a jealous mood, jealous that Musashi could actually receive Liu Cheng's active pursuit. Even though Musashi was a noble man, Akagi was still jealous. She wished she could monopolize Liu Cheng, even though she knew it was impossible.

Musashi said, "What happened to Akagi?"

Liu Cheng reached out his hand to Akagi, grasped her wrist and pulled her plump body into his arms. While stroking her fox ears, which felt great, he said to Musashi, "Akagi's love for me is very deep and passionate. If it weren't for this scene, she would definitely take the initiative to hug me and talk to me like she is now. Musashi, do you know why she didn't do that?"

"Because I love you, Akagi deeply loves Commander!"

Liu Cheng's affirmation made the love in Akagi's heart burn like a flame. She hugged her lover's muscular body tightly and murmured, "Akagi will never do anything that will damage the prestige of the commander, never."

"Yes, that's the answer."

Liu Chengsong let go of Chicheng and scratched the red fox's nose affectionately.

He looked at Musashi who was looking down with her brows furrowed, her hair falling on her snow-white shoulders. This mature and dignified ship girl was so melancholy and moving at this moment: "Akagi loves me, and Akagi also respects you, so she knows that it is important to restrain herself and not interrupt our important negotiations."

"Shipgirls don't need to abide by morality. Different cultures have different ways of thinking and doing things, but love and respect will allow them to restrain themselves spontaneously."

"When all the ship girls have similar ideas and can use the same set of rules to abide by and restrain themselves, there will naturally be no major contradictions and conflicts."

"I'm already proving it with my fleet, what do you think, Musashi?"

Musashi didn't say anything. Her eyes were focused on the cup of tea that Liu Cheng poured for her. As the boat swayed, ripples appeared in the tea, just like her swaying heart.

"It is the responsibility of those in a higher position to protect those who follow you." Musashi raised his head and stared at Liu Cheng's face. "Do you have such awareness and confidence?"

Liu Cheng said without hesitation: "Yes."

"So you are using the great family of Sakura Empire to blackmail me and ask me to marry you without any emotional basis?"

Liu Cheng waved his hand and said, "It's too much to say that there is no emotional basis. Although I don't know you very well, I still like your appearance and figure, so I don't mind making sacrifices for peace."

"I mind."

Musashi said this seriously, then looked away slightly. In her heart, she didn't mind sacrificing herself for the Sakura Empire, but her dignity and pride made her unable to accept being led by Liu Cheng all the time. He was just a little brother with a baby face, but he spoke so many truths in a serious manner, and she couldn't refute him. Musashi felt a little unhappy.

Musashi, who appears solemn and dignified but is actually mature and gentle, rarely has such little thoughts.

"If you mind... then I have a suggestion." Liu Cheng did not keep the secret and said, "I, Liu Cheng, am attracted to Musashi of the Imperial Sakura Empire and would like to use supplies as a betrothal gift to ask for her hand in marriage. However, Musashi is a distinguished person of the Imperial Sakura Empire and only those who pass the Imperial Sakura Empire Trial can become her lover. It can be three times, five times, or seven times, it is up to you Imperial Sakura Empire to decide. If I fail the trial, I will leave the supplies. If I pass, Miss Musashi will give me a chance to develop feelings for you. How do you think?"

Musashi frowned slightly. It was not that Liu Cheng's proposal was too harsh. On the contrary, this proposal gave enough face and support to the Sakura Empire, which formed a sharp contrast with Liu Cheng's dominance at the beginning, and even gave the Sakura Empire ample room for regret.

Musashi raised his head and saw Liu Cheng's deep black eyes, which seemed to contain a sky full of stars, making people immersed in them and wanting to capture that sincere look.

Pursing his lips, Musashi said softly: "Now I understand why Amagi said that what you did was for the benefit of all the ship girls."

Liu Cheng raised his eyebrows: "Does that mean you agree?"

"I agree." Musashi nodded and said, "Such a relaxed condition, just to buy time for the Sakura Empire, I should pretend to agree."

"It's a wise choice. It doesn't matter whether it's true or not now. I believe that even if it's fake, it will become real in the end."

Liu Cheng confidently shook hands with Musashi. This was the first time the two had physical contact. When their hands were held together, a current ran through them, as if it was a resonance between the mind cube and high-dimensional information, causing both of them to tremble uncontrollably.

"That's too much. You still do this even after I agreed to it." Liu Cheng thought it was the electric current released by Musashi.

"Just a reminder to you, don't get too carried away."

Musashi knew it very well, so she put away her slender white hands and put them in her sleeves, but she no longer covered the charming whiteness on her chest.

An agreement was reached, and there was no need to be as tense as before. Liu Cheng half-jokingly said, "I am proud but I won't get carried away. I am still waiting for you to fall in love with me."

"Then you may be disappointed."

"It's hard to say, maybe I'm the type of person you like."

Musashi smiled slightly and said, "I like someone who will throw himself into my arms and act like a spoiled child."

Liu Cheng subconsciously glanced at Musashi's full chest. It was as soft as jade, white and flawless, mature and attractive, which could be felt from a distance.

“That’s something I’m really good at.”

Musashi added, “I like people who throw themselves into my arms and act like a spoiled child, and I don’t like people who act like a spoiled child to many women and then throw themselves into my arms.

Liu Cheng could only touch his nose awkwardly, but it was harmless. As long as he had a reason to enter Sakura Empire openly, it would be fine.

Chapter 11: I was really despicable just now

"After all, you completely controlled the rhythm."

Musashi smiled self-deprecatingly. Even though she knew there was no better choice, she didn't like the feeling of being arranged by others. It was as if she had fallen into a trap prepared by others in advance. The so-called taking advantage of the opponent's strategy had already meant she had lost the initiative, which was something a leader should try her best to avoid.

But when facing the human Liu Cheng, he didn't seem to be so disgusted. Musashi felt that it was because he cured Amagi and gained Amagi's trust. After all, he believed in Amagi's wisdom in his heart, and subconsciously acknowledged Amagi's perspective on people. In fact, he had already accepted Liu Cheng in his heart. As he said, the power of trust is really terrible.

Thinking of this,

Musashi couldn't help but sigh: "I was too clever and calculated everything, but it cost me my life. I made so many preparations, but I still fell into your trap."

Liu Cheng just shrugged and said, "It's not your fault. You have too few cards to use. You have no choice but to delay and play along with me."

"You are quite sober."

There was admiration in Musashi's eyes. Although he and Liu Cheng were in a hostile relationship and were forced to accept his "pursuit", the wisdom and confidence shown by Liu Cheng really made Musashi look at him with new eyes. No wonder even a ship girl like Frederick the Great had an unclear relationship with him. He was indeed no ordinary person.

"It's better to say that you are really sober." Liu Cheng drank the remaining tea in the cup. "After taking over the current dilemma of the Sakura Empire, even if you risked everything to fight head-on, the ship girls who supported you would only cheer. But you didn't do that. Instead, you rationally maintained restraint, sought a solution with the lowest cost, and agreed to my unreasonable request. You are indeed an outstanding leader of the Sakura Empire."

"Haha, being praised by the enemy, should I be proud or should I praise your magnanimity?"

Musashi smiled indifferently, raised the teacup and covered his face with the wide sleeve of his right hand. But before sipping the tea, he bit his plump lower lip with his pearly teeth, and the trembling in his heart was forcibly calmed.

[She actually understands me so well... She must have gotten the information from Amagi. But I can't blame her. For the Sakura Empire right now, having the opportunity to delay time is already very good.]

"No need for that. I told you that my idea from the beginning was to unite all the ship girls, including you and Sakura Empire."

Musashi put down her wine glass and met Liu Cheng's gaze. She wanted to see through those black eyes, but she only saw her own shadow in them.

"Since you are so honest, I will naturally return the favor. Agreeing to your proposal is just a way for me to delay time. Let's not talk about whether you can pass our Sakura Empire's trial. Even if you pass, I can terminate this unconstrained proposal at any time. I am not a little girl who hesitates for the sake of face."

Musashi smiled and said, "When the iron-blooded allies solve the hidden dangers in Europe, then I will be the one to attack you from the center. In view of your confidence and praise today, I may consider giving you a chance then."

"Okay." Liu Cheng joked, "A day of marriage is a hundred days of grace. When the time comes, I will definitely trouble you to let me go."

Musashi smiled and shook his head: "Since you have ruined my reputation like this, I am afraid I will not be able to forgive you when the time comes."

The two men looked at each other and couldn't help but smile faintly. There was no need to point out the tacit fact. Since they both knew each other's thoughts, it all depended on whether Liu Cheng's spear was sharper or Musashi's shield was harder.

A consensus had been reached, so the subsequent negotiations went very smoothly.

The trial was set to five times, and as long as Liu Cheng passed these five trials, Musashi would marry Liu Cheng as promised, at least on the surface.

The first trial was scheduled for three weeks later, and Liu Chengke went to Sakura Empire a week in advance to prepare.

During the trial, Liu Cheng guaranteed a minimum supply of materials to Sakura Empire. After each trial, the supply of materials had to increase by at least 20% as Liu Cheng's bet.

"Of course, it would be too unfair if it were just this." Musashi took the initiative to say, "If you pass the trial, you can make any request of me, and I will never refuse."

"Okay, feel free."

Liu Cheng nodded and raised a finger to Musashi.

"can."

Musashi bit the tip of his pink tongue and agreed immediately.

She had already made up her mind to protect Sakura Empire at any cost. If she could exchange her useless body for the time and materials Sakura Empire needed, she would naturally do so without hesitation. It was just a one-night pleasure, not to mention that Liu Cheng might not be able to pass the test.

"Okay." Liu Cheng nodded and said, "Then I am looking forward to being alone with you one day. More contact can cultivate feelings."

"Just... spend a day together?"

Musashi frowned slightly. How could he take the initiative to think about that? He must have been influenced by Liu Chengqiu's words and deeds. His thinking habits were really terrible, and even he was not immune to them.

Liu Cheng blinked and said, "Of course, if you have any other ideas, I don't mind, such as extending the time to one day and one night."

"Sure." Musashi smiled slightly, hiding his true thoughts, "It's not impossible to call all the members of your fleet over to watch when the time comes."

"Forget it then."

Liu Cheng stood up with a smile. It seemed that such conditions were a complete concession on his part. After all, the advantage was on his side. Theoretically, he could even kidnap Musashi and risk the safety of the Sakura Empire.

But such behavior will definitely backfire. What Liu Cheng wants to do is not to conquer Musashi's body, but to conquer her heart.

Liu Cheng looked at Musashi, her shoulders half exposed, her hair like fireflies, and a flickering smile on her mature and beautiful face. She was obviously such a mature and dignified woman, as calm and elegant as Frederick the Great, but Liu Cheng couldn't help but feel a sense of pity for her.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Musashi noticed Liu Cheng's gaze and asked generously.

"There's no reason to look at a beautiful woman."

Ryu Seung-il

As he turned and walked out of the cabin, he said nonchalantly, "I will free you from this meaningless responsibility."

Musashi was stunned for a moment, and snorted softly to express his disdain, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, and his rosy lips were slightly pursed.

[Women really can't escape this kind of shackles. Whether it's false or true, they will inevitably feel happy when hearing such flattering words... That's all. As long as it doesn't affect judgment and emotions, it's harmless.]

Liu Cheng turned around. He knew that his pity for Musashi was real, and the high-dimensional pheromones he released that disturbed the mind and increased desire were also real.

I'm sorry, I was really mean just now.

Of course, I am not ashamed at all. After all, the division and friction between you, Sakura Empire, have nothing to do with anyone. You are a perfect match made in heaven.

Chapter 12 If you want to marry, marry me first

Under the watch of the crowd, after a long time, Liu Cheng finally walked out of the cabin again.

Ron felt relieved and waved to Liu Cheng with a smile. Liu Cheng saw Ron's action and naturally waved back to her.

Then Ron couldn't laugh anymore, because she saw Liu Cheng whisper something into Louis IX's ear, and Louis IX argued with him for a few words, then jumped off the boat alone and headed towards the Unity.

Liu Cheng smiled and waved, indicating that everything was fine and not to worry, while he moved farther and farther away from the crowd until he was close to a destroyer of the Sakura Empire, and the entire boat was lifted up with ropes.

Everyone looked at each other. Although August and the others had already guessed what Liu Cheng was going to do, old lovers would of course reminisce about the past when they met. Moreover, under the current circumstances, these Sakura Empire's ship girls were very important internal supporters.

However, no matter how much they guessed, apart from a few core members such as Zhenhai and Tirpitz, not many ship girls knew about Liu Cheng's plan, so after Louis IX came up, a group of people surrounded her and asked her questions.

Louis IX cleared his throat and signaled everyone to be quiet. The knight said in a somewhat pedantic tone: "What I am going to say next is what the commander asked me to relay to you. The negotiations went smoothly. Musashi has agreed to the commander's pursuit. As long as the commander passes the trial of the Sakura Empire, she will marry the commander..."

The content of the speech was so shocking that no one interrupted him. It was not until Louis IX finished speaking that everyone started chattering and asking questions.

Regensburg shouted, "Let the commander pursue her? Is she worthy of it?"

"Haha, the commander must have taken a fancy to Musashi's obscene breasts." Ron said gloomily, "The vixen in the Sakura Empire is really good at it."

"It is indeed a good hobby for the hero."

Brest was certainly aware of Liu Cheng's hobbies. After all, she had often personally experienced Liu Cheng's undisguised love for her. Except for the last step, the two of them were already completely intimate.

"But Hero-sama is definitely trying to win over Sakura Empire and avoid war with peaceful means. This is what makes Hero-sama great."

"I see." Enterprise held his chin up and nodded as if he had understood something. "You can also use this method to strive for peace. I've learned something."

Yorktown looked at his sister, the God of War, and said helplessly, "Don't study business. This is not what you should learn."

"why?"

"Because you're a piece of wood."

Yorktown felt a little disappointed. He had spent so much time with Liu Cheng these days, but there was no progress at all. It felt a little awkward to share his lover with others, but there was no problem sharing it with his sister.

Enterprise may be a blockhead who is not good at expressing emotions, but her subconscious thoughts cannot be hidden from her sister Yorktown. She is sure that Enterprise definitely has a good impression of Liu Cheng. Perhaps no ship girl can resist Liu Cheng's charm. The same goes for Enterprise and probably Musashi.

Everyone gathered around Louis IX and asked him questions, which made the Templar Knight at a loss. She had no choice but to say loudly: "I don't know any of this. The commander only told me this. In addition, he said he would be back before dark. Then the commander will definitely explain it to everyone."

"Before dark?" Paula crossed her arms and asked doubtfully, "Is that true?"

From her own perspective, if Liu Cheng and I were to meet again after a long separation, even if we couldn't be together forever, we would still want to enjoy the moment until the end of the day. So Bora doubted very much whether Liu Cheng could come back before dark, as this was not up to his will.

Louis IX said: "That's what the commander told me anyway."
