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

“This isn’t like you at all,” Li Wei saw through Richelieu’s thoughts and stepped aside so that Alsace and Champagne could see clearly.

"Commander, really~"

Richelieu resignedly lay back down on the deck chair.

"Ha ha……"

"As a reward for you..."

Li Wei straddled both sides of the chaise lounge, allowing Richelieu's gaze to be completely captured by the fabric.

Richelieu immediately noticed the obvious protrusion, and then his gaze was fixed on it.

The girl stuck out her tongue and licked her lips, looking eager to try.

"Commander...may I?"

“Of course.” Li Wei gently patted the archbishop. “Otherwise, why would I be posing like this?”

……

Because of the angle, Arthas could only see Livy's back, but not Richelieu's movements.

She heard some sounds coming from the two of them, but they were faint and hard to distinguish due to the sound of water.

Arthas even doubted whether he had misheard.

She heard the sound of eating... or perhaps more like drinking milk tea with a straw?

Upon thinking of milk tea, Arthas couldn't help but say, "Commander, I want some milk tea too!"

“You’ll get one too.” Li Wei didn’t refuse: “There’s only one cup, you can take turns.”

Champagne: ...

Arthas couldn't see it, but she could from her angle.

What milk tea? That's clearly...

Champagne blushed.

……

Richelieu was satisfied and straightened his commander's clothes.

Li Wei applied the last bit of sunscreen to Richelieu, ensuring her lips shone brightly in the sunlight, with no damage to her skin.

“Next…” Levi looked at Alsace and the champagne.

"Commander, please help me first!"

Levi looked at the champagne.

"Commander, I... I can still endure it." Champagne secretly pressed her thighs together, trying to hide her emotions.

Unaware of all this, Levi cast an admiring glance at the champagne.

He walked over to Champagne, patted Champagne's head, watched Champagne open her eyes, touched her hand, and clasped her fingers together.

"I'll give you an extra reward later."

Chapter Forty: Arthas's Emotional Module Rapidly Overloads

Champagne responded ethereally, "Mmm..."

So Li Wei went to Arthas's side and squatted down by the pool again.

"Commander, is it finally my turn?"

“Yes.” Li Wei nodded. “You should get out of the pool first.”

"No...that won't work..." Arthas's voice trembled slightly. "I'm using water to cool down, but my emotional modules are almost bursting. If they come out..."

"Are you going to stay in the water forever?" Levi reached out, intending to pull Arthas out of the pool. "Why don't you just challenge yourself?"

"Challenge...yourself..."

Li Wei nodded, looking at Arthas with encouraging eyes.

Arthas had no choice but to climb out of the pool: "Commander... Commander..."

Taking advantage of Arthas's momentary lapse in attention, Li Wei grabbed a rope and mischievously gave it a gentle pull—

The two main guns were immediately exposed to the air.

"Yeah!"

Arthas let out a mournful cry.

……

Arthas, whose emotional module was already overloaded to the point of near collapse, was on the verge of losing consciousness in the face of this situation.

Like a doll, she subconsciously obeyed Li Wei's instructions, mimicking Richelieu's posture, lying on the deck chair with her back to Li Wei.

Arthas only regained some of his senses when he met Richelieu's amused gaze.

Unlike Richelieu, Arthas was missing a tangled rope behind him, forcing him to shyly cover himself with his hand.

—Damn it, why are there other ship girls here?!

If it's just me and the commander, there's no need to block!

Li Wei picked up the sunscreen he had been using and realized that it was all gone, with only a tiny bit left in the shrunken packaging.

...It's probably because too much was used up in those waterproof compartments.

Li Wei originally planned to get another tube—there was an abundance of this stuff in the port area, and he could use ten or eight at once without any problem.

However, Richelieu captured him.

Seeing Li Wei's puzzled look, Richelieu handed a new large bottle to his commander.

"This is?"

“'Sunscreen,' huh?” Richelieu said without batting an eye. “Just take it and use it. No need to go so far.”

Li Wei: ...

Li Wei stared at the words "massage oil" on the bottle in his hand, momentarily at a loss for words.

Richelieu pursed his lips slightly and handed Li Wei the towel beside him, the meaning of which was self-evident.

It's perfectly normal for ship girls to need a little massage oil, right?

Li Wei gently flicked Richelieu's main gun barrel and returned to Alsace's side amidst Richelieu's giggles.

"Situation report... Alsace feels something is wrong with his body..."

“For the sake of your emotional module.” Li Wei folded the towel into an eye mask and put it on Arthas’s face, covering her eyes. “This way, you won’t overload, right?”

"No...no..." Arthas's pretty face turned bright red: "Commander, just thinking about it is already sending me hurtling towards overload..."

Li Wei: ...

Forget it, let it be overloaded. At worst, we can just call a repair ship to take a look.

Li Wei poured massage oil into his hands, rubbed them together to warm them, and then pressed them onto Alsace's skin.

Massage oil and sunscreen do feel completely different, especially during a massage. Although both are a bit slippery, massage oil definitely feels more comfortable.

"Well……"

Massage oil was applied to Alsace's skin.

It reflects an alluring hue in the sunlight.

"Alsace".

"Uh-huh?"

You look adorable right now.

"Eh...Eh eh eh eh eh???"

Arthas blushed deeply after being provoked by Li Wei's casual teasing remark.

Even her body turned pink.

"The commander must have said that on purpose! This tactic is very effective; Arthas is completely infatuated... Hah... I can't wait any longer...!"

"Even if you can't wait, you're not allowed to move."

Li Wei held Arthas's arm to prevent her from moving.

"Lie down properly."

"Well……"

Arthas obediently maintained his previous posture: "Why is it like this..."

Li Wei massaged Arthas's lower back muscles with his fingers: "By the way, Arthas, where exactly is your emotional module installed?"

"Hmm..." Arthas let out a soft hum: "Arthas... doesn't know either..."

"Then why do you keep mentioning the 'emotional module'?" Li Wei asked, both amused and exasperated, pressing his voice slightly. He was now unsure whether Arthas was truly a character or simply someone who talked about it casually.

“That…that’s definitely real…” Arthas pouted. “Commander is bad…”

Li Wei poured in new massage oil. Unlike Richelieu's apartment, Alsace's waterproof chamber was much thicker. Even with the length of Li Wei's fingers, he had to use a little force to fully explore the waterproof chamber.

"Well……"

"Arthas's Emotional Module..."

"It's going to completely break down due to overload..."

As Arthas murmured, the girl lay motionless on the recliner.

Li Wei: ...?

Richelieu had gotten out of bed at some point and was standing barefoot next to Li Wei: "As expected of the commander, he knocked Arthas unconscious with just a finger."

“I heard her mention something about overloading.”

“They probably couldn’t hold back any longer.” Richelieu smiled and kissed Livy. “Commander can go help Champagne first. As for Arthas… let me check on him.”

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

……

Arthas felt as if his ship was being gently inspected and repaired.

The emotion module was overloaded to its maximum power at one point, and then slowly recovered.

……

She opened her eyes and found that the sun, which had been high in the sky, was now beginning to set in the west.

She shook her head, bobbing it up and down to banish the random thoughts from her mind.

Turning his head, Arthas found the commander and Richelieu cuddling in the pool.

The champagne, however, has disappeared.

"Commander~"

Arthas let out a soft, gentle cry.

"...Arthas, you're awake?"

Li Wei raised his head, just as Richelieu lowered his head, the two moving in perfect unison.

"Um……"

Arthas stood up and walked towards the two. She felt that her archbishop's movements seemed a bit off; it didn't look like she was swimming.

“Wait, Arthas!” Richelieu’s face was unusually flushed. “You…you come over later!”

The archbishop turned to look at Levi: "Commander, please don't..."

Arthas: "Hmm?"

Chapter 41 Arthas's eyes shone brightly
