The Disqualified Commander of the Abandoned Shipgirl

Even deep down in my heart I think so.

Without this authority and power, I cannot truly achieve my goal.

I think relying solely on one's mouth is not enough.

Simply exchanging sincerity for sincerity is just a means.

To the extent that Lin Shen couldn't tell what were his "means" and what were his "sincerity".

He looked at himself with an overly objective perspective.

Therefore, every action was cut into cold long strips like a knife.

A cold internal logic was established.

How can a chess player have emotional fluctuations because of the chess pieces?

He believed deep down that you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Even though there are now three people who have crossed that level of relationship.

Lin Shen still didn't believe it from the bottom of his heart.

It's just that three people stood by his side with their own reasons and attitudes, facing the blade.

It is for this reason that Hatsushimo always seems to have obsessive-compulsive disorder, and from time to time he has to confirm whether he really owns something that he seems to have.

Or maybe it has been lost.

Language always seems too pale when it comes to communication.

The meaning is conveyed less than one tenth of the time.

And now...

Lin Shen suddenly discovered something.

Because I discovered it, I figured it out instantly.

Perhaps even without relying on the powerful constraints of power and authority.

There are still people who come close for other reasons.

Even if these reasons are the cause, they still rely on the power and strength they possess...

but.

That feeling is still very strange.

Just give Lin Shen a kind of

Even if he doesn't have it, he can still have a sense of certainty.

Very true.

And no logic at all.

It feels - it feels that way.

I was just inexplicably convinced.

Believe it.

Accepted.

Lin Shen returned to his room, still daydreaming.

It was the first time for him to have such a wonderful emotional experience.

I don’t know if it’s just an illusion.

It seems like I've thought about a lot of random things.

Lin Shen shook his head and reached out to open his door.

Because the two didn't come over tonight, the room seemed very quiet.

But not bad either.

When Lin Shen walked to the bed and was about to go to bed to rest, he found that there was another person there.

"Ayanami?"

"Um... Commander, why didn't Laffey and the others come?"

"They may be too tired, so they went back to their rooms to rest tonight."

"So that's it."

Ayanami moved aside to make room for Lin Shen.

"In that case, I will be the only one sleeping with the Commander tonight."

"Yeah, I have to sleep with Ayanami-chan in my arms tonight."

Lin Shen chuckled and replied.

Then he reached out and pulled the girl over to him, hugging her tightly in his arms.

"Um... Commander?"

The sudden movement caused Ayanami's body to stiffen slightly for a moment.

But I soon relaxed.

This seems to be the first time I'm so close to the Commander...

I can feel my heartbeat more clearly than usual.

Ayanami buried her head in Lin Shen's chest and never raised it up again.

"Ayanami, why do you trust me so much?"

"Why……"

"No specific reason?"

"The specific reason... because the commander saved me and is trustworthy... isn't that a specific reason enough?"

"What if it was someone else who saved you? He would be reliable and dependable. In that case, Ayanami and I would have missed each other."

"Well……"

Ayanami thought hard, then raised her head and replied.

"But I didn't meet anyone else. The one I met was the commander."

"if……"

"There is no such thing as if. Commander, just like a dead person is dead, even if you add an if setting, it will not be effective for this save file. Therefore, the possibility of if does not exist in our opinion."

Ayanami's tone sounded a little sad.

"If in the game is just an illusion to deceive yourself."

"That's it..."

It's just an illusion that deceives oneself.

Lin Shen had been stuck in this illusion for a long time.

Why……

Because it's not true.

Because he is a time traveler.

Because of the experiences in those few years after traveling through time.

Because of many things.

But no matter what.

Now he finally got out.

"Sorry for asking a weird question."

"It's okay..."

Ayanami said softly.

"Even if it's an if line, it must be full of commanders."

"why?"

"Because we signed a soul contract. Unless the soul is annihilated, the connection will not disappear unilaterally. The soul mark has been branded. Even if it is an if line, I will find the commander, don't worry."

"That's really, reassuring."

A sincere smile appeared on Lin Shen's lips.

Then he said seriously.

"That's true. Forget about the if line. Even if I delete the file and start over, I will find you."

People who are supposed to meet will eventually meet again at the crossroads of fate.

Lin Shen never believed in fate.

But at this moment, he firmly believed that this was his fate.

If fate doesn't obey.

Then give him a slap in the face.

Beat Him until He obeys.

8. Two attacks

It has been proven that sleeping is indeed more comfortable when there are fewer people around.

Although being hugged by people on both sides looks nice, it actually does not provide much benefit for rest.

"Commander, it's time."

As usual, Glasgow came to Lin Shen's room at nine o'clock to wake him up.

But Lin Shen had already slept until he woke up naturally.

The whole person feels refreshed.

It feels like being elevated.

"Good morning, Glasgow."

"Good morning... It looks like you had a good rest last night?"

"Well, I haven't slept so comfortably in a long time."

Lin Shen stretched hard.

"It seems necessary to let Lafei and Hatsushimo go back to their own rooms to sleep from now on. My room can only accommodate one person at most."

"Will they have any objections to this?"

Glasgow chuckled.

"Then let's take turns. It's a bit overwhelming if we attack together. Besides, we'll be arriving at Sakura Castle soon, so it's important to stay energetic."

"Too."

After Glasgow left, Lin Shen reached out and woke up Ayanami who was lying on him.

I slept last night hugging a large life-size pillow, and it was really comfortable.

Ayanami seems to be the same.

"Time to wake up."

"Um... well."

Ayanami got up sleepily, her pajamas loose on her body.

After moving Ayanami off himself, Lin Shen sat up and glanced at the sunlight beyond the curtains.

Today will be another happy day.
