Li Wei thought of Raphael, who at that time also said he wanted to paint himself, to paint himself, but in the end... well, I don't want to say more.
But when he looked at Anchorage again, those clear, watery eyes were gazing at him expectantly, full of trust, as endearing as a little deer.
Li Wei's heart softened; he simply couldn't refuse the little guy's request. He ruffled Anchorage's hair and said softly, "Hmm... Anchorage, how about we start with something simple?"
“Okay~” Anchorage nodded obediently and asked seriously, “Then, teacher… what do you want… Anchorage to draw…?”
Levi glanced around, his gaze finally settling on St. Louis standing to the side. An interesting idea popped into his head. He smiled slightly, turned to Anchorage, and said, "How about you paint St. Louis?"
“A painting… of St. Louis?” Anchorage tilted his head and repeated, as if to make sure he hadn’t misheard.
“Hmm.” Li Wei nodded, then winked at St. Louis, gesturing for her to sit on the podium. “I’ll teach you how to draw St. Louis.”
“Great!” Anchorage immediately clapped his hands in agreement, a bright smile spreading across his face.
St. Louis suddenly had a bad feeling.
But when she saw Anchorage's hopeful little eyes, she couldn't bear to spoil the child's fun. Helpless, she could only sigh softly, walk gracefully to the podium, and strike what she thought was an elegant pose—one hand supporting her chin, the other casually resting on her knee, slightly turning her body, revealing a meaningful smile.
Looking at her like this, Li Wei's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but cough twice: "...cough cough, St. Louis, be more dignified."
Upon hearing this, a playful glint flashed in St. Louis's eyes. She chuckled, adjusted her posture, and sat with her legs crossed and her arms hanging naturally at her sides, her tone slightly provocative: "Okay~ Commander, is this alright?"
"..." Li Wei was speechless and could only shake his head before turning around to begin instructing Anchorage.
The teaching process went more smoothly than expected.
"Teacher...I...I'll observe first..."
"Yes, Anbao did the right thing."
"Teacher... used... a pencil to draw?"
"Hmm, I'll use a pencil to sketch out a base for Anbao first."
Although Anchorage still had the mind of a child, she was very serious. Holding a pencil, she carefully sketched the outline of St. Louis on the paper, occasionally glancing up at the model and then looking down to mimic the model's movements.
Li Wei stood behind her, patiently pointing out: "Yes, the lines here should be softer. St. Louis's shoulders are beautiful, you need to draw that curve... Hmm, make this part a little tighter."
"Okay... teacher... you teach very well..."
Anchorage listened attentively, nodding as she spoke, her lips slightly pouting, appearing remarkably focused. Levi's gaze inadvertently swept over Anchorage's slender back, and a secret thought quietly began to stir within him.
He leaned down, close to Anchorage's ear, and whispered, "Anchorage, when I teach you to draw, I can also teach you something else."
"Others?" Anchorage turned his head in confusion, his round eyes full of bewilderment.
Li Wei smiled, not answering directly, but gently taking Anchorage's hand and helping her up from the chair. He walked behind her, wrapped his arms around her waist, and pressed down on her jelly-like skin: "Don't stop, keep drawing, the teacher will help you adjust your posture."
Anchorage hesitated for a moment, but obediently continued to scribble on the paper. Meanwhile, Levi took the opportunity to get closer to her body, his hands wandering through the middle of the hull, slowly reaching towards the core compartment.
Anchorage's face flushed instantly. She bit her lip and muttered softly, "Teacher...it tickles..."
"Don't be afraid, just focus on drawing." Li Wei chuckled, but didn't stop drawing.
He gently lifted Anchorage's paint, his fingers deftly unfastening the camouflage on the core module. He then gently pressed her down, letting her lie face down on the desk, her jelly-like body slightly upturned. His breathing grew heavier as he whispered, "Anchorage, relax your body when you draw, so the lines will flow smoothly."
“T-Teacher…” Anchorage’s voice trembled, clearly still not understanding what had happened. But she was innocent by nature and trusted the commander completely, so she continued to hold the pencil and scribble crookedly on the paper. Meanwhile, Levi took the opportunity to start the battle from behind, sending the main gun into the core compartment from the rear and beginning the fight with a slow but powerful rhythm.
“Teacher…Anchorage…okay…”
"Anbao, concentrate on drawing. Let me correct your posture."
"Teacher... Anchorage... Oh no, concentrate..."
Anchorage's body trembled slightly with his movements, and the lines of her pencil became chaotic. She bit her lip, letting out soft sobs: "Teacher... I... I can't draw anymore..."
“It’s alright, take your time,” Li Wei comforted her softly, but his fingers gently pinched her, causing her to tremble again. While enjoying the battle with Anchorage, he didn’t forget to give her instructions: “Look, St. Louis’s legs are very long, you need to draw the proportions right… um, yes, that’s it.”
St. Louise, who had been maintaining a dignified posture on the podium, had her pupils slightly constrict and her breathing quicken when she saw what was happening before her.
Levi's undisguised actions, Anchorage's innocent yet shy expression, and the ambiguous atmosphere gradually spreading in the air all made her feel a call to battle.
Her core unconsciously tightened, her fingertips lightly pressing against the hem of her skirt, trying to conceal the restlessness in her heart.
“Commander…you really are…” St. Louis murmured softly, his tone tinged with a hint of reproach, yet also with an irrepressible urge to participate.
She wanted to say something, but the words came out in a barely audible whisper. Her gaze was fixed on Levi and Anchorage, watching their rhythmic movements, a fire burning within her.
Finally, she could no longer resist. Her hand quietly slid towards her core, her fingertips gently caressing it, trying to alleviate the increasingly intense desire to fight.
Her movements were discreet and careful, her face maintaining that elegant smile as if nothing had happened. But as Levi's movements quickened, the ship girl seemed to be participating herself; even though she was merely watching the battle between Anchorage and the Commander, the rhythm of Saint Louis's fingertips unconsciously accelerated.
"Hmm... Commander..."
Time ticked by, and Anchorage finally couldn't hold on any longer. Driven to her limit by Levi's relentless onslaught, she let out a long whimper and collapsed onto her desk, her pencil slipping from her hand, leaving only a jumble of lines on the paper.
Anchorage gasped, "Teacher... Anchorage... has been defeated..."
Li Wei chuckled softly, gently patted her back, and said with a satisfied tone, "Alright, Anbao, take a rest."
Anchorage lay limply on the table, too weak to even lift his head, only able to whimper softly like a contented kitten.
Levi turned around, his gaze falling on St. Louis. St. Louis was already struggling to contain her fighting spirit; her hand remained outside the core module, her fingertips trembling slightly.
"Commander, it seems you haven't had enough fun yet."
St. Louis stood up and slowly walked down from the podium, his steps elegant yet full of a fighting spirit.
She walked up to Li Wei, gently nudged him to sit in the chair, then straddled him, wrapped her arms around his neck, and said in a low, husky voice, "Commander, you're really bold, starting a battle right in front of me like this..."
Before Levi could answer, St. Louis leaned down and kissed his lips. Her movements were passionate and urgent, the jelly swaying nimbly, quickly reigniting Levi's passion.
The two became entangled, and the classroom once again transformed into a battlefield.
Finally, under the rhythm of St. Louis, Levi could no longer hold back, and the main gun's ammunition once again filled the core compartment of St. Louis.
St. Louis leaned against his chest, a smug smile playing on his lips: "Commander, you're really fragile."
Levi, panting heavily, smiled helplessly: "St. Louis, you're trying to drain me dry."
Meanwhile, Anchorage remained slumped over the table, mumbling sleepily, "Teacher... drawing... is so tiring..."
Chapter 468 Avant-garde Comics
"Commander, Knight Vanguard reporting for duty!"
A clear, slightly playful voice rang out at the entrance to the command room. Qianwei pushed the door open and entered, his posture upright, displaying the demeanor of a knight.
Her signature long hair swayed slightly, the buttons on her uniform gleamed under the light, and her steps carried a touch of heroism while retaining a girlish lightness. Li Wei looked up, his gaze shifting from the pile of documents on the table, a smile unconsciously playing on his lips.
"Vanguard, you've come at the right time." Li Wei put down his pen, waved to her, and said in a relaxed yet familiar tone, "Come and help me take a look at this plan, what do you think?"
Qianwei blinked, curiously took a few steps closer, and tilted his head to look at the notebook that Li Wei had spread out on the table.
A few lines of writing were scribbled on the notebook, with a few crooked little figures drawn next to them. It was clearly Li Wei's doodle.
Before she could take a closer look, she felt a hand gently reach out and move directly into the core module.
"Well……"
Just as the vanguard was about to make a move, he had to split up to allow Li Wei to advance unimpeded.
"Come, look."
Li Wei's smile widened, and he lightly tapped the interior of the core module with his finger. Then, pointing seriously at the notebook, he said, "What do you think of this travel plan?"
Qianwei followed his finger and saw a few lines of writing crookedly on the notebook:
Morning: Go to a coffee shop in the port area for morning tea and try the new matcha cake.
Noon: Go to the training ground to watch the ship girls' exercises, and take the opportunity to relax and soak up the sun.
Afternoon: Go to the comics section of the library and browse the newly arrived comic books.
Evening: Find any excuse to throw a small party.
After reading it, Qianwei couldn't help but facepalm and sigh softly: "So, Commander, all you think about is playing around? What about work? What about the documents? When are you going to deal with all those backlogged reports?"
Li Wei waved his hand, looking completely unconcerned.
"Work can always be done. The ship girls have been under so much pressure lately, so I need to help them relax and also give myself a break. Look, I even wrote that I'm going to the comics section. They've been talking about all the comics lately, so I need to catch up on the trends so I don't fall behind."
Upon hearing the words "comic section," Qianwei's eyes visibly lit up. She had originally wanted to say something more sarcastic, but she swallowed the words back and instead gave a slightly excited smile.
"Please be sure to go to the comics section! I heard they've recently received a lot of new stock, including some limited editions. You'll miss out if you don't go now!"
Li Wei raised an eyebrow, looking at Qianwei's undisguised anticipation, and couldn't help but tease, "Oh, so our knight lady has such a girlish side? Alright, let's head straight to the comics section this afternoon, you lead the way."
Vanguard snorted and turned his head away, feigning disdain: "I just think it's nice for the Commander to do something serious once in a while. Let's go, stop dawdling."
……
The afternoon sun streamed through the large windows of the port library, filling the air with the faint scent of books and the fresh aroma of wooden furniture.
The comics section of the library is located in a corner on the second floor. Compared to the serious tactical books and historical documents on the first floor, the atmosphere here is much more relaxed.
The bookshelves were filled with colorful comic books, and there were several soft sofas nearby. Several ship girls were discussing something quietly, with occasional soft laughter.
Li Wei and Qian Wei walked into the comics section one after the other, with Qian Wei's steps noticeably lighter than usual.
As soon as she entered, she went straight to the bookshelf, expertly flipping through the pages. Her fingers traced the spines of the books as she muttered to herself, "The latest volume of 'Kantai Collection'... Hmm, I've already read this. 'Deepsea Hunter' special edition... This one's not bad either... Wait, what's this?"
The girl's finger stopped on a comic book with a rather strange cover.
The book was sandwiched between two ordinary comic books. Its cover was dark red, with a blurry figure drawn on it, and the title, "Forbidden *," was written in gold lettering. Avant-garde frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then pulled it out.
Li Wei leaned closer and asked curiously, "What good stuff did you find?"
Qianwei turned to the first page, but her brows furrowed deeper and deeper. She muttered to herself, "This art style... something's not right."
Before he could finish speaking, Qianwei suddenly stopped, his fingers frozen in mid-air, as if he had been immobilized by something.
Seeing this, Li Wei leaned over to take a look, and was stunned the next second.
The first page of the comic depicts a familiar scene—the comic section of a library, with bookshelves, sofas, and windows—every detail is exactly the same as where they are now.
The main characters in the scene are undoubtedly the commander and the ship girl, who are... well, doing something that is not suitable to be described publicly among the bookshelves.
"Who...who drew this?" Li Wei coughed, trying to cover his embarrassment. "Who smuggled this kind of comic in?"
Avant-garde's face flushed red. She slammed the book shut, her voice rising several decibels involuntarily: "Someone must have put this in as a prank! This is outrageous!"
After she finished speaking, she subconsciously looked around, afraid that someone would notice their reaction.
Li Wei scratched his head, trying to appear calm, and said, "Cough, maybe it's just some ship girl's weird hobby. Don't worry about it, let's look at another one." He reached out to put the book back on the shelf, but Qianwei didn't let go, a strange glint in his eyes.
“Commander…” Vanguard’s voice lowered, tinged with a hint of probing, “Do you think that someone might actually… um, try to do something like this, something that’s in a comic book?”
Li Wei was taken aback, not expecting Qianwei to ask such a question. He stared at her for two seconds, noticing the blush still lingering on her face, and a bold idea suddenly popped into his head. He lowered his voice and said half-jokingly, "What, you want to give it a try?"
Qianwei glared at him, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on: "Who, who wants to try! I was just asking!" But her tone lacked confidence, and her fingers unconsciously tightened around the comic book.
The atmosphere suddenly became subtle.
The library was so quiet that only the sound of turning pages could be heard, with the faint chatter of a few ship girls in the distance. Looking at Qianwei's increasingly obvious attempt to hide his curiosity, Li Wei couldn't help but laugh: "Alright, since you're so curious, how about we... experience what it's like in the manga?"
"Experience?" Qianwei's voice suddenly rose, then he realized his slip and quickly lowered his voice, "What are you talking about? This is a library!"
Li Wei shrugged, a signature smug grin on his face: "What's there to be afraid of? The comics section is so out of the way, nobody's going to come here. Besides, we're not really going to do anything, we're just... well, just getting a feel for the atmosphere."
Avant-garde bit her lip, clearly hesitant. She glanced at the comic book in her hand, then at Levi's expectant face, and finally couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "Since the Commander has said so..."
Li Wei pulled Qianwei behind the bookshelf, leaning against it, and whispered, "Don't they say in comics that the male protagonist pins the female protagonist against the bookshelf? Shall we try this position?"
Qianwei's face turned as red as a ripe apple, but she still nodded with a forced smile. Li Wei gently raised his hand, pressed down on her shoulder, and leaned her against the bookshelf, while he moved a few steps closer.
The two were so close they could hear each other breathing. Qianwei's eyes were somewhat evasive, yet also filled with anticipation.
“Commander…” Vanguard’s voice was so low it was almost inaudible, “Are you sure no one will come?”
"Don't worry, I just observed that everyone is busy with their own things at this time, no one will come to the comics section."
As Li Wei spoke, he prepared his main gun and began the battle between the vanguards. The vanguard's core had been prepared by Li Wei with his fingers back in the office, and now, with just a slight press, it could completely envelop the main gun.
"and many more……"
Just then, footsteps suddenly came from afar. Qianwei froze, nearly shoving Li Wei aside, and whispered in alarm, "Someone's coming!"
Chapter 469 The Defeat of the Vanguard
"...Teacher? Avant-garde...older sister?"
Anchorage's little head peeked out from beside the bookshelf, his round eyes full of curiosity, like a bewildered kitten.
