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

update notification

My cholecystitis has been flaring up all week, and they also found out I have gallstones.

I took medication for a week without much improvement, and it flared up three times in five days, each time lasting from night until morning. This morning I even had to go to the emergency room, so I didn't update last night.

He will need intravenous fluids every day for the next few days to see if his condition improves. If it doesn't, surgery will have to be considered.

Therefore, updates cannot be guaranteed, I'm very sorry.

Chapter 391 Five Ways to Experience Z9

Z52 finally understands why the ship girls are so obsessed with the commander.

That's the suppression of the natural enemy etched into the Mind Cube; no ship girl can escape it.

But z9 doesn't know.

All she knew was that the two ship girls who came with her disappeared as soon as they arrived at the port. They had agreed to stroll around the port together, but in the end, she was left all alone. Z11 and Duisburg went straight to the accessory shop in the port, while Z9 had to wait in her room.

When Z52 and Rumei returned together, they found Z9 already asleep in his room. The noise from the two made Z9 rub his eyes, and he finally showed a less frightened smile.

"Z52, did you go to see the commander?"

"Oh, yes."

"What kind of person is the Commander?"

z52 thought for a moment and said, "Hmm... he's a very capable person."

"Huh? Someone really that amazing? Z52 has been with that commander for so long, she must know what makes the commander so amazing, right?"

Faced with z9's innocent question, z52 stammered and couldn't give an answer in the end. He could only throw out a sentence like "Try it yourself and you'll know" before fleeing in a sorry state.

Z9 thought Z52 was really in trouble: "Does Rumei know?"

When faced with this question from Z9, Rumei also gave evasive answers, and in the end just patted the girl's head and sighed softly.

……

"...So you came to ask me?"

Z9 looked at the Commander with teary eyes: "Did I ask something wrong?... I'm so sorry..."

“It’s not that it’s bad.” Li Wei patted Z9’s head and looked at the girl with a cute expression. “It’s just that it’s really hard to explain with words. It’s best to experience it for yourself.”

"Experience it firsthand? Then... Commander, could you show me how it goes?"

“Of course.” Li Wei gestured for Z9 to sit on the sofa and wait. “But I need to finish these things now. Could you please wait a moment?”

"Of course!" Z9 looked flattered and sat quietly on the sofa, turning her head to look at the commander, imprinting all of the commander's actions into her mind.

"...Commander, do you need my help?"

“Okay.” Li Wei handed a stack of documents to Z9: “These are documents that I have already read. Could you help me organize them?”

"Good~"

Z9 muttered to herself, "I must do better; I can't let the Commander down!"

Li Wei glanced at the girl, patted Z9's head, and offered encouragement.

"Commander, um... can Z9 sit here? It's nothing... I just want to be closer to you..."

“Of course you can, or you can just sit on my lap.” Li Wei patted his thigh: “The Z9 is very light and won’t cause any obstacles.”

"Huh? Won't it interfere with my work if I sit on you? If not... then Z9 will sit down then..."

"Hmm, Z9 is so soft." Li Wei lowered his head and smelled the girl's hair. "It's so fragrant and soft."

"Sweet and soft..." Z9 blushed: "Is that really what the Commander is thinking?"

"of course."

"The documents... are all processed, but I'd like to check them one more time... Shall I show them to you first? Here you go... Is it alright now?! Whew... Great!"

“Great job, Z9.” Li Wei took the files that Z9 had organized. “Thanks to Z9, it saved me a lot of time.”

"Did I do a good job? Really? Um... can I hug Z9? As a reward for my work... Ah, the Commander's embrace is so warm..."

Li Wei held the girl in his arms and kissed her forehead.

“Commander…” Z9 raised her head, mustered her courage, and kissed the commander: “What about what we agreed on before…”

"Of course, but not here." Li Wei hugged Z9 tightly. "Z9, you don't want to either?"

"Let's go back to my room. In my room, I'll give you a proper lesson and show you just how great the Commander is."

……

in the room.

Z9 was lifted up by Li Wei in the standard way of holding a little girl. He had always thought of Z9 as a young girl based on her height, but only after holding her completely could he realize that Z9 was actually no different from a little girl. Z9 had just grown a little taller, but she was still very light.

"Hmm... Commander, is this the correct posture for the learning experience?"

"Yes, this posture allows you to experience every detail."

"Um... Commander, do we really have to do it in front of a mirror? I'm so shy... Waaah..."

“How can we explain every detail without being in front of a mirror?” Levi gestured for Z9 to relax: “You can think of it as a separate experience. Just know that the Commander is amazing.”

z9 closed her eyes and took a deep breath: "Mmm!"

Li Wei found Z9's appearance amusing. He had seen plenty of embarrassing ship girls, but this was the first one where he was about to experience it firsthand and still didn't dare to open his eyes.

The main gun is already aimed at the Z9's core compartment: "Are you nervous?"

"No, no, no, no, I'm not nervous..."

“Your voice is distorted from nervousness.” Li Wei couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “Okay, it will be very comfortable. Don’t be nervous. Come on, relax your body—yes, just like that.”

"Well!"

Z9 felt like she was sitting on a strangely shaped pile of dots. Before she could react, the main gun, already fully prepared for battle, had already struck the core compartment, leaving its mark beneath it.

“Um…eh?”

z9 opened its small eyes: "It seems...not painful?"

Li Wei: "...You don't seem to know nothing at all!"

z9 immediately shrank back, saying, "I don't understand anything!"

Li Wei expressed disbelief: "If you didn't understand, would you have come to fight without protective gear on your core module outer shell?"

Z9 tucked her white-stockinged feet in again, but because of her posture, she didn't have much room to move in the air. The so-called tuck was just to make the nylon provide more comfort.

“This…this is what Z52 told me…” Z9 whispered, “She said…everyone in the port does it this way…”

"Great, this Z52." Li Wei pointed forcefully at the core module: "What else did she say?"

“嗯……z52还说……说……”z9一股脑地将z52和自己说的都倒了出来，完全忘记了z52和自己说的“不要告诉指挥官”——z9在心里宽慰自己，毕竟指挥官才是港区的一号，命令等级比z52的要高得多。

“Tsk, you’ve already figured out a lot of unspoken rules after only one day in the port area. Z52 is quite capable…” Li Wei saw the hopeful look in Z9’s eyes through the mirror: “Of course, Z9, you’re quite capable too, um… in the passive voice.”

"Well……"

……

As Z9 left, she looked left and right at the doorway to make sure no one was around before leaving the Commander's room. However, as soon as she turned the first corner, Z52 caught her red-handed: "Z9, have you found the answer?"

"Um……"

"Tell me about it."

"Huh?" z9 exclaimed softly, "Didn't you already get z52 before?"

“I heard that everyone’s are different, so I’m a little curious.” Z52 gestured for Z9 to follow her: “This way, this way. The direction you were originally going to go was full of ship girls. Follow me, I know a road with hardly any ship girls.”

"Tell me, how many did the Commander let you experience?"

z9: "...What kinds?"

z52: "Hey, let's not keep secrets from each other anymore. I've shared all my experience with you, so tell me about it too~"

"Let's...let's go somewhere further away and talk about it..."

Z52 and Z9 sneaked into a corner.

"Alright, we're far enough away, no more ship girls will appear. Now, tell me!"

"The commander said... said... said he made me experience almost everything..."

"Hiss... How many did you experience?"

"Let me count... there are probably four or five kinds..."

"Great, Commander is so biased! I've only experienced two!"

Upon hearing Z52 say that the Commander favored her, Z9 smiled faintly: "The Commander... is so gentle and so amazing... he can make the ship girls speechless and make them obedient."

"...You still haven't said how many you experienced."

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you~" Z9 said with a happy expression: "Of course, it starts with the core module. Z52 also started with the core module, right?"

z52 remained noncommittal.

"The second experience, of course, is the cargo hold. The Commander seems to like the core compartment and the cargo hold almost equally~, but I always feel that he's just not that interested in my cargo hold..."

Lu Mei, who had been eavesdropping in the shadows, blushed.

"The third experience is the mouth~" Z9 opened her little mouth, seemingly still savoring the taste: "The Commander's main gun and ammunition are so delicious... I wish I could keep savoring them, but... it seems the Commander doesn't plan to use too much ammunition at once..."

z52 nodded in agreement: "What about the other two places?"

“The fourth experience is using someone else’s feet…” Z9’s voice gradually faded: “But I feel that the Commander probably likes this part of me the most, and even said that it is something like… milk chocolate… In short, I feel that the Commander spends a lot of energy on this part.”

Both Z52 and Rumei, who were in the shadows, subconsciously looked at their feet.

Rumei tightened his grip on the stern, Z52 looking thoughtful.

Is it because I wasn't wearing stockings that I didn't experience more of the Commander's abilities?

"The last one will be used here..." Z9 puffed out her chest with a hint of reluctance, "Even though it's not small, the Commander always seems unsatisfied..."

Z52 thought of some of the more outrageous ship girls in the port: "Z9, this isn't your fault."

Chapter 392 Duisburg Wants to Open a Small Coffee Shop

"Commander, shouldn't it be my turn by now, even if it's a rotation?"

Duisburg leaned on the desk, looking at the commander: "Even Z9 has already had a taste, so when will it be our turn to let others have a little experience?"

"...Experience what?"

"Commander, don't play dumb~" Duisburg tapped the commander's nose with his finger: "I can understand you going to find Rume first. After all, you just want to attack her cargo hold and see her squeal like a sow and show that kind of ahegao, right?"

“I can understand why you went to find Z9 later. After all, you just want to tease a little when you see a girl like that, make her show a cute expression, and then hug her in your arms and comfort her.”

"But they haven't come to find me yet, isn't that a bit... hmm?"

Faced with Duisburg's "accusations," Li Wei remained unfazed: "First of all, it wasn't me who went to Rumé, but Rumé who came to me first."

"Secondly, it wasn't me who went to find Z9, but rather Z9 who came to find me."

"at last……"

Duisburg pointed his finger in front of Levi: "Commander, are you implying that I'll be the one to come looking for you in the end? Indeed, I will be the one to come looking for you, so the secret to winning over the Commander is..."

Li Wei kissed Duisburg's fingers: "No, I mean, in the end, there's another Z52 in the middle that you didn't notice."

Duisburg: ...

"I've heard that if you run a business together with someone you like, your feelings for each other will grow stronger... What are your thoughts, Commander?"

"Alright, today's time was originally prepared for you." Li Wei calmly closed his system interface: "I heard you want a coffee shop? In the port area?"

“That’s right!” Duisburg’s eyes lit up instantly: “How did the Commander know what I was thinking?”

“I call this telepathy,” Li Wei said mysteriously. “Come on, I’ll take you to fix your coffee shop today.”

"Great!"

Li Wei put the documents on the table aside, stood up and stretched: "Phew... But Ironblood already has a café affiliated with one faction. Are you sure you want to open another one?"
