Nelson: !
"This……"
She could clearly sense that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.
"Didn't Nelson just say he owes me one?"
Nelson could only say, "Alright, alright, as long as the commander has no objections, I have no objections either."
“I have no objection.” Levi stood up. “Thanks to Rodney, today’s official business is done. Let’s go have lunch.”
Nelson nodded in agreement. She went back to the corner to change her clothes, not noticing Rodney's awkwardness as he got up, nor that the stockings he had brought with him were gone.
"Commander,...is this appropriate?"
"Well, not bad, not bad."
Rodney brought her a white dress that she liked, which was a completely different style from the red dress Nelson had worn before. However, Nelson's physical attributes were good enough that she could pull off the white dress perfectly.
A restaurant on the snack street.
Levi, Rodney, and Nelson sat around a small round table, choosing their lunch.
Nelson immediately spotted his beloved "Oreo Rice Bowl," while Levi kept his distance from this "innovative dish."
"Commander, please try some, it's delicious!"
Li Wei simply shook his head; his stomach, craving for food from the East, made him reject such "innovation."
"Is this some kind of royal restaurant?!"
"Commander, your remarks are a bit rude, but I won't hold it against you."
"Alright, in that case, let the Commander have a taste when my food is served—the Commander will definitely love it!"
Rodney looked around and asked, "What would the Commander like to eat?"
"Hmm...good question." Li Wei flipped through the menu, his eyes dazzled by the variety of delicious food: "You know what, I want to eat everything, but I feel like I can't eat that much."
Rodney smiled: "Then shall I recommend one to the Commander?"
"Sure, let me try the lunch Rodney recommended."
Nelson stepped on Levi's foot under the table before realizing that this was a reward for the commander, but it was too late.
Sure enough, Li Wei showed no dissatisfaction whatsoever. He even reached down and gently grabbed Nelson's high heel, slipping his fingers inside to lightly tickle the sole of Nelson's foot.
Nelson: "Hmph..."
Rodney moved a little closer to Levi: "Commander, I recommend this! It's the restaurant's specialty ochazuke (rice with tea), it's really delicious~, and..."
Rodney leaned close to Levi's ear: "This is a couple's set meal~"
This really is a royal restaurant!
Looking into Rodney's watery eyes, like a cute pet dog asking for its owner's permission, Li Wei couldn't help but nod and say, "In that case, let's go with it."
Nelson huffed, "Commander, you won't eat what I recommend, but you immediately agree to what Rodney recommends!"
Li Wei gently pressed Rodney's small hand, signaling her to move a little smaller so that Nelson across from her wouldn't notice: "I've at least heard of ochazuke (rice with tea), but I've never heard of Oreos and stuff being paired with rice, okay?"
"Humph……"
Nelson: ╭(╯^╰)╮
"Please use it slowly~"
The waiter quickly brought Nelson's "Oreo Rice Bowl". Looking at the rice covered with Oreos and the satisfied expression on Nelson's face after taking a big bite, Levi really couldn't bring himself to eat it.
Nelson exclaimed sincerely, "The sweetness of Oreo combined with the delicate sweetness of rice is simply delicious! Whoever came up with this combination is a genius!"
Li Wei chimed in with a complaint: "Putting tasteless rice and Oreos that you get tired of after eating just two pieces together, only a genius could come up with this combination..."
Nelson increased the pressure on her feet, protesting in another way. She not only stepped on Levi's feet, but also climbed upwards, heading straight for the commander's main gun—unfortunately, Rodney had already occupied the main gun's position, so Nelson could only struggle with the ammunition magazine.
Rodney pushed his ochazuke (rice with tea) towards Levi with one hand: "Commander, why don't you have mine?"
Tea-soaked rice itself wasn't a particularly amazing dish. In Li Wei's memory, he would only consider this kind of "vitality maintenance meal" when he was too lazy to cook. But compared to the one in front of Nelson, the tea-soaked rice looked quite neat and tidy.
"Here you go~" Rodney scooped up a spoonful of ochazuke (rice with tea) and fed it to Levi: "Commander, ah—"
Li Wei opened his mouth: "Ah—"
Rodney fed him carefully and slowly, making sure not to get a speck of food on anything other than the corners of his mouth: "How is it? Is it good?"
Li Wei nodded: "Hmm...at least it's much better than that Oreo rice bowl."
"Hmph!" Nelson intensified his footwork in dissatisfaction, while Levi pretended to be completely unconcerned.
"Commander, come here, let me wipe it off for you~" Rodney smiled gently and kissed the corner of the commander's mouth: "Commander, I have another way of eating it here, would you like to try it?"
"Of course, come on! I'll give anything Rodney suggests a try!"
Rodney's smile was like a blooming flower: "Hehe, there's no need to be so dramatic, I just wanted to be a little sweeter with the Commander~"
"Humph!"
Nelson's coquettish complaints were completely ignored by Rodney and the Commander. Rodney fed Levi mouth-to-mouth, giving him his own version of "tea-soaked rice".
Rodney wiped his mouth clean: "How is it, Commander? Does it taste any better now?"
Li Wei nodded: "Mmm, it tastes much better than before. It tastes like Rodney, much better than just serving rice and vegetables on its own."
"Commander has such a sweet tongue~" Rodney continued, "Then shall I continue feeding you like this? Come on, Commander, come on, ah—"
Li Wei: "Ah—"
"Snapped!"
Nelson slammed his hand on the table, causing the marshmallow on his chest to jiggle: "Hey you guys! At least consider my feelings!"
“But Nelson can’t affect me and the Commander today,” Rodney retorted, referencing Nelson’s “promise.” “Then Nelson, please bear with us a little longer.”
"Humph……"
Nelson was speechless and could only continue watching the sweet moments between Rodney and the Commander.
"No, I want it too!"
Nelson leaned against the commander: "I'm not interfering with either of you, am I? I'm just stating my own needs!"
Rodney looked at the commander: "Commander, what do you think?"
Li Wei: "Alright, alright, stop bullying Nelson. Nelson, come on over! But... I refuse your Oreo rice bowl!"
"Hmph..." Nelson could only snort softly, put down his Oreo rice bowl, and used a spoon to scoop up rice soaked in ochazuke: "Since you like this, I'll feed you this too!"
Rodney was on the left, Nelson on the right, both on either side, making it difficult for Levi to keep up.
Not only are those above overwhelmed with choices, but those below are equally overwhelmed.
Rodney gripped the upper half of the commander's main gun, while Nelson gripped the lower half. The two displayed perfect coordination, their hands moving as if they were one, showing no sign of fighting.
"Well!"
Now it was the commander's turn to groan.
Rodney: "Commander~, hehe, actually, this is our lunch~"
Nelson finally smiled: "That's right, Commander, you didn't expect that, did you!"
Li Wei: !
Chapter 365 Not enough for me to enjoy (6k)
That night, Nelson and Rodney spent another night in Levy's bedroom.
"Alright, girls, it's time to say goodnight."
Li Wei, with women on his left and right, said, "If we continue, it will be dawn soon. Let's rest for a while."
"Okay, goodnight, Commander~"
Goodnight, Commander.
……
When Levi woke up in the morning, he found that Nelson and Rodney had already left, leaving him a small note that read, "Commander, please come directly to the movie." The note was written in very beautiful cursive script, clearly Rodney's handwriting.
Li Wei leisurely dressed and went to the office, which had already been transformed into a movie theater by the ship girls. Not only that, but the area in front of the screen had also been designed to resemble a stage. Li Wei immediately saw through the ship girls' thoughts—what they wanted to see was not a movie at all, but rather a scene of him engaging in deep conversation.
"You guys are getting bolder and bolder..."
Bumblebee: "Hehe, Commander, you certainly wouldn't refuse such a challenge, would you?"
Li Wei stepped on the stage and found it was portable—using an invention in this kind of place is not the right way—no, perhaps for the ship girls, this is the right way.
"Challenge? What challenge?"
"If the commander can defeat us all, we'll grant the commander one request next time!"
"If the commander loses, then he has to grant us one request~"
"Do you have only one request in total? Or one request each?"
Bumblebee looked at the other ship girls.
"One person, one time!"
"That's right, one time per person!"
Li Wei looked at the seven or eight ship girls present: "Is it one person at a time to destroy them?"
"One person, one time!"
"That's easy, let's go!"
"Wait, we haven't finished explaining the conditions yet!" Bumblebee stopped Levi. "There's one more small condition to limit the Commander. We have no doubt about the Commander's abilities, so we plan to impose a time limit—the Commander must complete the challenge before the video clip ends. Is that alright?"
How long is the video?
"About... less than an hour..."
The movie clips not only contain various dialogues, but also some narration and other content, which, when added together, are indeed quite similar.
“Okay, I’ll give it a try.” Li Wei stood in the center of the stage: “But I have one request.”
Bumblebee readily agreed: "Commander, what do you say?"
"This movie can't be shown for nothing. Everyone has to evaluate the movie content for their own period of time, otherwise you will lose when the time is up."
Ship girls: ...
The girls vaguely realized that the situation was getting complicated.
Li Wei didn't give the ship girls a chance to refuse: "Who wants to be the first one?"
The ship girls looked at each other, none of them wanting to be the first. Everyone knew that the commander's stamina was at its peak at the beginning, so being the first to engage the commander would likely result in the shortest combat time.
“Since no one is volunteering, I’ll just call on someone directly.” Li Wei nodded to Bumblebee while preparing for battle: “Bumblebee, it’s you.”
Bumblebee's smile froze, and he had no choice but to walk onto the stage.
As Bumblebee prepared for an in-depth exchange, clips from the movie began to play, accompanied by a voiceover.
The curse of the ghost, the city of Bristol of the same name, high prices, and increasingly frequent sandstorms.
Several keywords were intertwined, and just when things were starting to look clear, they became a jumbled mess again.
While waiting for U556, which Bell had mentioned, to deliver the supplies, the commander suggested taking a walk around the area and then left the tavern.
After leaving the tavern, he casually peeled off a bounty poster in town for lifting the curse, hoping to glean some valuable information from it.
Commander: "Whoever successfully resolves the curse problem... this town is willing to give one-fifth of the gold mine's profits."
Commander: "So it seems that even the bounty itself is just a promise, rather than a real reward."
Commander: "And if we're really in a hurry to get rid of the curse, we should offer some incentives to the bounty hunters."
Commander: "Instead of charging such exorbitant fees for food and lodging as we are doing now..."
The movie was playing, but apart from Bumblebee, no other ship girl paid attention to the screen behind the two. Bumblebee, however, was forced to look at the movie because of the bet, which prevented the movie clips from becoming just background noise.
Bumblebee struggled to stay still: "Commander... at least let me see the subtitles..."
"Tsk... You're acting and you don't even know the plot?" Li Wei's request to play Bumblebee is nonexistent: "Who wrote this opening scene?"
