I'm in the azure sky, and I have an anti-fraud app.

This doesn't seem to be Iris's restaurant.

Richelieu seemed to sense his commander's confusion: "Even I have my own selfish motives."

Li Wei held Richelieu's small hand as if he were holding his girlfriend's: "What are your ulterior motives?"

Of course, this girlfriend is not young at all.

In every sense.

“My selfish reason is…” Richelieu intertwined his fingers with Li Wei’s, a happy expression on his face: “Of course, it’s to spend more time alone with the Commander.”

"Commander, you don't know, do you?"

"what?"

Richelieu stuck out his tongue.

At this time, Richelieu was not at all like the leader of the Iris, but a playful girl next door, showing a unique charm.

"Does the Commander have an accurate understanding of the ship girls' numbers?"

Li Wei broke out in a cold sweat.

He had a general idea, but he didn't actually know the exact number.

“Every ship girl in the entire port has a dream, you know?” Richelieu pouted her rosy lips slightly. “That dream is to have the Commander all to herself~”

"Unfortunately, I can't be divided into hundreds of parts." Levi shrugged. "I can only try my best to take care of the ship girls present."

Richelieu tiptoed and lightly touched Livy's face with his fingertips: "That's one of the things I like about the Commander~"

Li Wei touched his face and smiled.

"Alright, why bring this up now? It sounds like I'm criticizing the Commander~"

“I’d like to see if you dare.” Li Wei’s emotions were also stirred up, and he lightly patted Richelieu’s jelly: “I think you’re quite bold, daring to flirt with me.”

“Not only do I dare to flirt, I also dare to…” Richelieu whispered in Livy’s ear, “I even dare to seduce the Commander!”

……

park.

Looking at that familiar angle, Li Wei was momentarily speechless.

Richelieu chose the very spot where he had previously embraced Helena and St. Louis.

Even the angles are almost the same.

"Commander, it seems you have something to say?"

"This...this angle, isn't it the best view in the park?"

“Yes.” Richelieu, with his back to the setting sun and facing Livy, said, “From here we can get a glimpse of the horizon, and we don’t have to go too far.”

"Besides, I've heard that you might get some good luck here?"

I see. This news must have been spread by St. Louis.

Luck and all that...

For the ship girls in the port area, any place where they can run into each other is a lucky place, right?

Actually, this isn't the only port area.

The ports of Azure are distributed all over the world. The ship girls are scattered all over the world for various reasons and needs, and only return to Levi's home port to reunite a few times a year.

Only ship girls from various factions will stay in their home port for a relatively long time—which is one of the reasons why Li Wei's current missions are mostly with the ship girls of the leaders of various factions.

Upon reaching their destination, Richelieu released Li Wei's hand and went alone to a nearby grove of trees, where he pushed out a food cart.

Richelieu was quite pleased with Li Wei's surprise: "Commander, this is a big meal I prepared all morning, especially for you! Even Jean Bart and the others have never tasted anything like it!"

The heating unit was still working under the food cart, clearly indicating that Richelieu had made all the necessary arrangements for the evening.

For a moment, Livy wondered if Richelieu would have a kitchen-blowing plot like the goddess of the hearth, but then he thought that the Iris women didn't seem to have such a plot, so it shouldn't backfire.

Richelieu pushed the cart in front of Livy, opened the lid, and introduced each item one by one:

"Spring Stewed Lamb." The first compartment contains a dish of tenderly stewed lamb: "It not only includes various spring vegetables, but also rosemary, bay leaves, and more~"

Richelieu blew on a piece of mutton to warm it and brought it to Livy's lips.

Mmm...delicious!

"The second dish is duck breast stewed with walnuts." A clear smile appeared at the corner of Richelieu's eyes. "The duck breast is pan-fried until golden brown and eaten with walnuts. It has special medicinal effects, you know?"

Li Wei's brow furrowed slightly, almost imperceptibly.

He seemed to have grasped something.

"The third dish is lemon-baked oysters~" Richelieu's intention gradually became clear: "Commander, oysters are rich in zinc, which is very good for your health, you know?"

Li Wei: ...

Seeing the dissatisfaction in Li Wei's eyes, Richelieu smiled and lifted the lid of the remaining two dishes together: "Sea bass with olive oil and minced garlic, and pork liver stir-fried with spinach."

"Sea bass is rich in protein and various minerals, especially phosphorus and selenium..."

Li Wei stopped Richelieu from introducing himself: "Tell me, what kind of punishment do you intend to receive?"

"They didn't do it on purpose~"

"If it weren't intentional, would you have made this choice?"

"After all, Commander last time..."

Li Wei understood.

Last time, he was extremely careful because of a system task, but Richelieu misunderstood him.

Back then, without the physical enhancement program, my performance was probably a bit lacking.

The young woman chose to provide thoughtful nutritional supplements for her beloved.

but now……

"Heh, I think you'll have to eat dinner first this time..."

Li Wei immediately loosened his belt: "No matter who comes today, they can't save you, I'm telling you!"

Chapter 18 Scylla suddenly squeezed her legs together

Time Stop Ability Level 1: Can be used once every 24 hours, lasting for 1 hour each time, and cannot be interrupted.

Looking at the description on his system panel, Li Wei couldn't wait to try it out.

The best targets, of course, are the maids who work around one's room non-stop.

"Would the master like to see how the maids do their daily cleaning work? Of course, no problem."

Levi's request to Belfast received an immediate reply: "When is it convenient for you? I will arrange for maids to greet you."

"No need," Li Wei replied after thinking for a moment. "There's no need to come all the way to welcome me. I'll just look around on my own."

Belfast didn't insist: "In that case, you can contact me directly if you have any instructions, Master."

After inquiring about the maids' usual resting place, Li Wei set off alone.

According to Belfast, the maids lived in different places according to their rank; the rooms of the Dido-rank maids were basically next to each other; while the rooms of the Grain Goddess-rank maids were in other places.

After a moment's thought, Li Wei chose the Dido level.

Dido, Hermione, Sirius, Charybdis, Scylla...

Each of the five maids had her own unique characteristics, and just by thinking of their names, Li Wei could match their personalities and figures in his mind.

As he approached the vicinity of the Dido-class ship girls' quarters, Levi could already hear the ship girls talking amongst themselves. He didn't reveal himself, but instead activated his time-stop skill.

The skill description states that the Time Stop skill cannot be stopped midway.

In other words, it can only be used up at once.

When Li Wei first used the time-stop skill, he didn't expect much effect; he just wanted to figure out what it felt like to stop time.

He had only ever seen this ability in fantasy works; he had never actually experienced it in person.

After the skill was activated, the world instantly froze.

This feeling is quite magical.

Just like in certain special films.

The ship girls came to a standstill for a moment, but the rest of the ship was unaffected.

Li Wei glanced at the time and found that the timer had stopped moving and the time on his phone was fixed at one o'clock, which confirmed that the skill had been successfully activated.

Although it doesn't quite hold up to scrutiny logically, it just doesn't feel right to talk about logic in a ship girl world.

In short, Li Wei walked up to the ship girls and was satisfied with their reaction—no reaction was also a reaction.

There are currently three ship girls in the room: Scylla, Charybdis, and Dido.

The conversation that Li Wei heard earlier was also made by these three ship girls.

The three ship girls are now maintaining the poses that Levi took before he activated his weapon, giving Levi the feeling of looking at a 3D stereoscopic photo.

The three Scyllas were sitting around a small round table, seemingly enjoying some leisure time.

On the round table were the maids' favorite cookies, and Dido was even still in the position of putting a cookie in her mouth.

Charybdis was turning his head to look at Scylla, seemingly talking to her; Scylla, on the other hand, was holding a cup, as if waiting for the tea in it to cool down.

Li Wei first walked up to Dido, a girl with long silver hair wearing a backless maid outfit that made her front particularly eye-catching; Li Wei thoroughly enjoyed touching her and fully experienced the alluring feel of her white thigh-high stockings.

It's a pity we can't cancel time stop now, otherwise Dido would definitely have a happy expression on her face, right?

Li Wei took the cookie from Dido's hand, kissed her rosy lips, and swallowed the cookie. Not only that, Li Wei wasn't satisfied, so he took the cookie from Dido's hand again and ate it himself.

These cookies are quite delicious.

It's unknown whether the ship girls whose time was stopped will retain their memories after they are restored.

If not...

Rumors of biscuits disappearing are likely to spread in the port area.

If Dido's maid outfit is predominantly white with a touch of black, then Charybdis's maid outfit is the opposite, predominantly black with only the most prominent areas made of soft white fabric.

Li Wei pulled the seats between Dido and Charybdis slightly apart to give himself some space. After admiring Charybdis for a while, he kissed her red lips.

Ok……

It tastes completely different from Dido.

She's lost some of her naivety and gained a lot of cuteness.

Of course, Dido is also very cute.

Dido's cuteness is the kind of cuteness of a puppy, afraid that the commander will abandon her; Charybdis's cuteness is the kind of cuteness of gentleness and tolerance.

Levi spotted the most prominent part of Charybdis's maid outfit and found a suitable spot. It was a small opening in the lower middle section, through which he could stuff his things and fully enjoy the maid's service.

Li Wei secretly remembered it, deciding to enjoy it next time.

Charybdis's black stockings didn't escape Levi's fondling either. She wore semi-transparent black stockings that clung tightly to her skin. If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't yet verified whether she would retain memories, Levi would definitely have picked them up and licked them to his heart's content.

Finally, there's Scylla.

Scylla's maid outfit combines the features of both, with black where it should be black and white where it should be white; she wears long, white shoes with milk-white stockings, but on her feet she wears a pair of black high heels.

Levi put down the teacup in Scylla's hand and found that the water in the teacup was also still. No matter the angle, the water in the teacup seemed to be fixed in place and did not react at all.

...It always makes sense in strange places.

While mentally complaining, Levi kissed Scylla's lips.

This maid, with her touch of maternal instinct and possessiveness, possesses a different kind of sweetness.

Scylla, it's you I choose!

Li Wei pulled out his chair, carried Scylla in a princess carry, walked her into the room, gently placed her on the bed, and then subconsciously took out his phone to check the time.

He had intended to check how much longer the time-stop skill would last, but then realized his foolish move... Li Wei closed his eyes and saw that the skill would last for a little over half an hour.

Having fun for a while isn't enough.
