The Disqualified Commander of the Abandoned Shipgirl

"Commander, let's take a bath together?"

Rafi made a direct invitation.

"……ha."

After a few seconds of silence, Lin Shen sighed helplessly, then said with a wry smile.

"Humans can't soak in repair fluid, Rafi. Besides, do you mind?"

"do not mind."

Rafi's answer was still very simple and direct.

There are no twists and turns.

"Besides, Commander, you must be very tired, right? If you take a bath, you will be much more relaxed, probably."

"..."

Lin Shen reached out and pressed his temple.

If you worry about too many things, life will be very tiring.

Headache.

Sometimes, it might be better to be simple and direct.

"What about you guys? Are you okay?"

Lin Shen asked in the soul network.

"If you mind, I can leave right away."

Glasgow: "No, and, Commander, you just woke up after being unconscious for so long, you really should relax."

Ayanami: "No, I don't."

Cupid: "Although, I am a little nervous, but I don't mind..."

McCall: "Huh? Why are you looking at me?"

Glasgow: “Soul Network.”

McCall: "Ah...oh, whatever, it doesn't matter."

She doesn't care anyway.

Besides, even if you really mind something... no, you've already seen it, right?

At the very beginning.

Now when I think back on it.

McCall still felt touched for a moment deep in his heart.

Like Cupid, she completely buried half of her head in the pool.

Looking at the figure standing next to him.

Some things didn't seem special at the time.

But when time passes and I think back on it.

The feelings will always become deeper and deeper.

When everyone treats you as just an ox or a tool, there is someone who goes against the trend and treats you as a human being and gives you the respect that they deserve.

That kind of emotion cannot be expressed in words or quantified by data.

McCall thought about it and suddenly understood why Glasgow was so decisive when he left him behind to cover the retreat.

I suddenly understood why Ayanami ended up like this too.

For some things, trust alone is not enough to build them.

There must be something else mixed in there.

It cannot be seen or touched, but it has a profound impact.

"Hey, Commander, this is what everyone agrees on."

Glasgow said from behind.

"...Okay, then I will obey your command."

At this point, Lin Shen gave up struggling.

He turned around as carefully as possible without looking around, and prepared to go to the changing area to change his clothes.

As for bath towels, Glasgow should have them.

A large part of her ship's space is used to store daily necessities.

Only one-third of the space is used for necessary supplies.

But Lin Shen didn't expect that Glasgow was not like the people next to him and soaked his whole body in the water.

Instead, nearly half of it was exposed.

When Lin Shen's eyes swept over involuntarily, she smiled gently.

"..."

Lin Shen exhaled, walked over, looked away, and stretched out his hand.

"bath towel."

"Okay, okay~"

Glasgow took out a clean bath towel and put it in Lin Shen's hand.

After taking it, Lin Shen did not leave in a hurry, but glanced at Glasgow again.

"You have a lot of wounds on your body. Soak them in repair fluid as soon as possible to heal them. Don't leave any scars."

"Commander, the ship girl will not leave scars~"

Glasgow smiled back.

Although his shoulders, chest and back were all covered with densely packed bright red cracks.

But Glasgow didn't take it to heart.

At that time, her injuries were much more serious than they are now.

Moreover, the original wound was simply a gradual expansion from a small wound.

That feeling is even worse than lingchi.

Due to lack of effective treatment, the wounds gradually worsened over time until they spread throughout the body.

Glasgow experienced it himself.

"Even if there's no scar left, it's not going to be nice, right? Don't be stubborn, just heal it."

"Good~"

Listening to the long tail tone, Lin Shen sighed again and again and walked to the dressing area next to him.

After hanging all his clothes on the hooks, Lin Shen walked out wearing a bath towel.

Then he soaked in the bathtub next to him.

Of course, the towel was taken away after making sure that no one was looking in this direction.

Although he is a grown man, he cannot be so casual about the details.

After all, they are not wives yet.

It's also normal to be careful.

but……

Lin Shen looked at the information panel and saw that his favorability had inexplicably jumped up by one or two points.

He was lost in thought.

Why can this increase favorability?

Is it really that casual?

Or is it that this thing can only be used as a reference and not as a practical basis?

His flexible thinking seemed to be less effective in this regard.

This can be considered a kind of blind spot in thinking...

Reality is not a game after all.

Likes and dislikes are very emotional.

It's not that you have to do anything to make things change.

It's not necessary to drag them out to fight or anything like that.

Sometimes it may be just an unintentional gesture that can deeply move a stranger.

Not to mention the people around you.

After all, the mind is a hard thing to guess.

Very emotional.

After thinking for a while, Lin Shen was too lazy to think about it any further.

tired.

And it's meaningless.

Just make sure it doesn't fall off.

Let it go up, it’s a good thing anyway.

Why bother pursuing so many details?

It's not a fight.

Even if it was a fight...it didn't seem to be his fight.

And it’s still early.

There's no point in thinking so much now.

Lin Shen raised his head and stretched his body.

Taking a bath is really refreshing.

Especially when the weather is cold.

It seems nice to do this occasionally.

No one spoke in the bathhouse.

Everyone seemed to be resting quietly.

There really are too many things going on these days.

It's very torturous to the mind.

"Commander, are we just going to leave that Oi Kiyomi outside there alone?"

Glasgow asked after a few minutes.

“Just leave it there.”

"But if that's the case, we won't be able to take action, right?"

“We don’t need to act.”

"No action required...?"

"The situation in the Central Weaving District gives me a very wrong feeling."

Lin Shen opened his eyes and sorted out the information he had previously obtained in his mind.

"Is something wrong?"

"Although the political situation in Sakura Empire is unstable, it is definitely not so intense. No matter how anxious the Nogami family is, they shouldn't ask an outsider like me, or an individual, to carry out this mission. What if I betray them? Although the possibility is very small with the support of the Golden Wings, it still exists. The Nogami family's pursuit gives me a feeling of 'not that possible'."
