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

"The child seems to really like it here, hmm?"

Frederick the Great tried to lift one of his feet, but he forgot that his ankles were tied together with cloth. He lost his balance and fell directly onto the commander.

Frederick the Great lived up to his name, remaining calm even in such an unexpected situation. He first used his icy fingers to straighten the direction of the commander's main cannon; then, before Livy could react, he swiftly advanced and successfully reached base.

Li Wei: ...

I think you did this on purpose, didn't you?

Frederick the Great seemed to sense Livy's doubt and chuckled softly in his ear, "You have to believe me, this really was just an accident."

Li Wei didn't believe it. Could such an accident happen to a top-tier leader ship girl who could strategize from the command center thousands of nautical miles away?

However, regardless of whether one believes it or not, the core module that was delivered to the door still had to be filled to do justice to Frederick the Great's wishes.

Then Li Wei discovered that the main gun was not placed in the core compartment, but... in the cargo hold at the back.

Li Wei: !

Frederick the Great, still smiling, asked, "Child, it seems you've discovered something?"

"Yes, it wasn't an accident that you found out, right?"

"Hmm? How did you figure that out?"

"Could an accident be so unexpected that it would lead directly to the cargo hold?"

Taking advantage of the break, Li Wei glanced at the situation below: "This position, this angle, even if you were to aim precisely, it wouldn't be easy, would it?"

"So it was an accident, huh?" Frederick the Great's smile never faded. "Or perhaps, what the child actually wanted... was this place?"

Li Wei has already started moving: "...It's fine as it is now."

"Hmm~" Frederick the Great revealed a charming smile: "Since the child likes it so much, then being... is quite satisfying too~"

"Child, cherries~"

"Frederick, you seem to really like cherries today?" Levi asked with a hint of curiosity. "There's never a shortage of cherries in the port area, right? I've never seen you like them this much before..."

"The child noticed all this~" Frederick the Great pulled the commander into his arms, his nimble tongue dancing in Levi's ear: "How about we try to guess this time?"

Li Wei gasped, "Hiss..."

Is there even a need to guess? Frederick the Great's actions were already an "explicit indication," practically revealing the answer outright.

"I bet... you've learned some cherry-related skills, right?"

"What a smart child!"

Frederick the Great's tongue invaded further, and the sticky, gooey sounds gave Livy the illusion that he had fallen into a slime.

So Li Wei watched as Frederick the Great put a cherry into his mouth, and a dozen seconds later, the cherry stem, no longer than a thumb, was tied with a small knot.

Li Wei's eyes revealed admiration.

……

"Please~"

Frederick the Great placed a plate of cherries in front of Livy: "These are all cherries that I have carefully preserved."

"Each cherry has been washed, pitted, and then specially pickled—I can guarantee you won't find cherries this sweet anywhere else!"

Frederick the Great, while promoting his cherries to the commander, plopped down on the table in front of Levi, facing him with a sweet smile.

The black restraints had already been tied to Frederick the Great's ankles by Li Wei himself during their intimate conversation, and now, as Frederick the Great's bare feet swayed back and forth, they asserted their presence in Li Wei's vision.

Li Wei picked up a cherry and put it in his mouth.

It was sweet upon first taste, with a hint of alluring flavor, just like another side of Frederick the Great himself. Meeting Frederick the Great's expectant gaze, Li Wei nodded and said, "Indeed delicious!"

"Hmm~"

Frederick the Great's smile grew even sweeter, and her bare feet didn't forget to find their target, gently rubbing up and down on it, just as she had done several times before.

"Ah, it's so late."

Livy had planned to have dinner here and then leave to rest, but Frederick the Great simply stepped on him and sent him back to his original spot.

"Child, it's so late, where are you going?"

"I..." Li Wei forced himself to speak, but seeing Frederick the Great's actions, he couldn't bring himself to refuse.

"You're not... thinking of 'running away' from me, are you? That... would make me very sad~"

Chapter 204 The Maid Outfit from Richelieu

November 3st

When Levi returned to his room, Belfast was already waiting there calmly.

"Master, the celebration banquet for the Sakura Empire today has been postponed for you."

Li Wei nodded: "Well done."

Belfast hesitated, then said, "However..."

Li Wei pulled the head maid into his arms: "However?"

"However... there's a simulation project tomorrow, is Master okay with that?"

"No problem at all."

Li Wei first responded with great enthusiasm, then lowered his voice and asked, "Which faction is tomorrow's simulation project?"

Belfast summed it up simply: "Iris."

Li Wei recalled the ship girls of Iris, and they seemed alright. Apart from Richelieu, there didn't seem to be any particularly powerful ship girls.

Alsace?

She overheats and overloads if you get even a little too close, rendering her ineffective in actual combat.

"noon?"

Belfast corrected, "In the morning."

"two?"

"two."

Li Wei: ...

"So, I'm going to experience the simulation project with two Iris ship girls first, and then have a celebration banquet with the Sakura Empire ship girls in the afternoon?"

"Yes."

Li Wei let out a soft breath.

Fortunately, the simulation project did not put any strain on Li Wei's body; at most, he was only slightly mentally fatigued.

"How about this, tell Richelieu that Iris only sent one ship girl this time, but next time we'll give them an extra spot."

Belfast nodded: "Yes."

……

Taking a day off between two celebration banquets seems to have become an unspoken understanding between the ship girls and the commanders.

Li Wei had planned to spend the day resting in his room, but the mission affected his plans.

"Today's task: Discuss tomorrow's simulation project with Richelieu in advance."

"Mission Reward: Improved physical fitness."

"Task determination: If no sufficiently valuable reference opinions are provided, the task will fail and the reward will be forfeited."

This is exactly what Li Wei needs to improve his physical fitness!

Moreover, it is the most effective conquest mission—yes, as long as it is not about endurance, it can basically be regarded as a conquest mission.

A level 5 physical fitness rating will undoubtedly reduce a lot of pressure for Li Wei at tomorrow's celebration banquet; this task must be completed as a priority no matter what.

After giving Belfast a few instructions, Levi used his scouting skill to locate Richelieu. Archbishop Iris was praying devoutly in his church.

Seemingly sensing that she was being watched, Richelieu opened her beautiful eyes, glanced around, and found nothing amiss. She then closed her eyes again and focused on praying.

Li Wei went straight to the Cathedral of the Iris and found Richelieu still praying in the prayer room.

Richelieu was wearing his usual clothes today, and his bright red stockings made Li Wei's eyes water.

"Commander~"

Richelieu heard Li Wei's footsteps early on. She opened her eyes with surprise and got up, throwing herself into Li Wei's arms like a swallow returning to its nest.

"What brings you to the church to visit people today?"

Richelieu was not the decisive leader of the Iris at this moment, but a little woman leaning against the commander's arms.

Li Wei could detect a hint of resentment and dissatisfaction in her tone, but with so many ship girls, it was impossible to satisfy everyone, unless...

"I'd like to learn about tomorrow's simulation project."

"Commander, do you have any scenarios or gameplay ideas you'd like?" Richelieu thought Levi was referring to a specific ship girl, and snuggled into his arms affectionately. "Or... do you want to specify which ship girl? Just so you know, you can't remove her from the team~"

"I won't remove you."

Li Wei pulled Richelieu into his arms and kissed the girl's lips: "In fact, it's you who wanted to name a ship girl."

"Really?" Richelieu's face lit up with surprise. "What does the Commander want me to wear? Anything is fine~. Swimsuit? Bunny girl outfit? Or... a nun's habit?"

"Let's put the clothing aside for now..."

Livy shared his previous ideas with Richelieu, who immediately nodded in agreement.

Anyway, her spot wasn't affected in any way, and since she was enjoying the simulator time alone with the commander, it could even be considered that she got a slight advantage.

At the same time, Li Wei also gave Richelieu enough reasons and "mental preparation"—it was because the commander wanted to take a break, not because she wanted to monopolize the commander, which is why she did not name one ship girl.

"No problem, I think the sisters can understand."

Richelieu tiptoed and kissed the commander's lips, while pulling his hand towards her red stockings: "I remember the commander seemed to really like this color of stockings, right?"

“Yes.” Li Wei understood what Richelieu meant: “So you’ve been wearing it all this time?”

“Hmm~” Richelieu nodded, fully demonstrating his advantages in all aspects.

For example, its perfect shape, its alluring texture, its captivating color...

"Is there anything else, Commander?"

Richelieu couldn't wait: "If not, let's talk about scene setup and costume selection for the simulation project!"

Li Wei was both amused and exasperated: "You... are you in such a hurry?"

“Of course~” Richelieu pouted her red lips: “If the Commander comes to the church to see me every day, of course I won’t be in a hurry…”

"Yeah!"

Li Wei interrupted Richelieu with a gesture.

After just a few kisses in each other's arms, Richelieu was already ready for battle.

"Let's start with the scene."

Richelieu adopted a listening posture: "Okay~"

"How about a cat cafe?"

Richelieu: !

The girl's eyes shone brightly.

A girl who loves cats but is disliked by them wants to try spending more time with cats.

"Please be sure to choose this one!"

"As for the clothing..." Li Wei thought for a moment, "I think a maid outfit would be nice, what do you think?"

"Okay~"

Richelieu was already accommodating to Livy's requests, and after Livy suggested a cat café to please him, he became even more compliant.

Li Wei even suspected that if he suggested a naked maid, Richelieu would agree without hesitation and choose the outfit that would most arouse him.

"Then..."
