As he spoke, Robo reached out and clasped Shiranui's almost cold little hand.

"Huh? Commander, what are you doing, nanoda?"

Just in time, Lord Yukikaze pushed open the door and entered.

As long as there are no missions, Yukikaze reports to Robo on time every day, even more punctual than some of the rotating secretary ships!

"Oh~ Yukikaze, you're on time as usual today!"

After letting go of Shiranui's hand, Robo immediately rushed in front of Yukikaze and gave her a good rub on the head.

"I told you not to touch Lord Yukikaze's head without permission!"

The kitten immediately bristled and then grabbed Rob's hand and took a bite.

Well, even though it's a kitten, it gets angry like a dog, which is very typical of Yukikaze's personality.

Smiling, Robo wiped the water off his hands and turned to see Shiranui's somewhat strange look.

"Commander, is there something you'd like to say?"

"Uh...no."

From Shiranui's eyes, Robo read what she was trying to say—you still say you're not a cat lover?

...

A short while later, the company walked into the office, yawning.

At this time of year, at this hour, Rob immediately turned to look out the window at the sight of his white-haired pet in his office.

"Ah~ Commander, good morning~"

Yawning, the company reached for the sofa.

It seems that someone's warmth still lingers on it.

The company didn't seem to mind, since their commander's office was always quite lively.

Lying on the sofa, the sleepy-eyed company was ready to take a nap.

Upon seeing this, Belfast immediately and thoughtfully provided the company with a blanket.

"Oh, thank you, Belfast."

Both Rob and Yukikaze were used to the company's behavior.

After all, it's already quite good that she can "go to work" on time.

As for expecting her to actually do what a secretary ship should do, you're just overthinking it.

"Oh? This is quite a novel sight~"

Just as the man lay down, Clemenceau walked in.

Even Clemenceau showed a curious expression at the sight in the office.

After all, looking at the entire naval industry, there are indeed not many ships like Robb's company.

"Hmm, it seems like Miss Corporate and Vicious might have a lot in common."

Unfortunately, Clemenceau actually had such a thing under his command.

"However, since that's the case, Miss Enterprise, how about..."

As he spoke, Clemenceau walked over to the company, leaned down, and whispered a few words in her ear.

"...Oh~ thank you very much..."

...

What did you say to her?

While handling port affairs, Rob asked Clemenceau a question out of curiosity.

His response was indeed a document that had undergone initial processing.

"I just said I'd do today's work myself. That's all~"

"Is that so... But speaking of which, shouldn't you be here on vacation?"

"You don't actually need to do these things."

He took the document with practiced ease, signed his name on it, but Rob's curiosity was not suppressed.

He couldn't quite understand his sister-in-law's thoughts.

"Then Commander, just consider me someone who can't sit still, hehe."

...

As it turned out, Clemenceau was quite adept at handling these matters.

For the first time ever, Rob finished all his work for the day before lunch.

Looking at the clock on the wall, Rob rubbed his eyes, feeling somewhat incredulous.

"So fast?"

"What, does the commander think there are mistakes in the matters he has handled?"

Clemenceau, who was already sipping a cup of black tea, looked over and smiled casually.

"No, not at all. It's just that it was handled so quickly that I was a little surprised."

"Hehe~ But since the Commander has some free time, how about you come with me this afternoon?"

"Where would you like to go?"

"Hmm~ It'll be a secret for now~"

...

As he watched the actors performing on stage in their costumes, Rob's eyebrows twitched involuntarily.

Although he had thought about all the places Clemenceau wanted to go, he really didn't expect that the other party would actually drag him to watch a show!

Glancing at the other person's absorbed and enraptured expression, Luo Bo's expression became even stranger.

(I can't even understand this stuff myself, how can she be so obsessed with a mere iris-shaped boat?)

...

Walking among the departing crowd, Robbe and Clemenceau stood out.

After all, everyone around them was elderly, and the two of them, young people (on the boat), were surrounded by them. The feeling of being out of place was truly unsettling.

In particular, the faint "auntie smiles" on the faces of the elderly people around him made Luo Bo feel extremely uncomfortable.

"I said, Clemenceau, you like this?"

"Hmm? A very interesting form of expression. Completely different from opera and the like."

"Since we're here, we should naturally try out the local art performances, shouldn't we?"

"...Fine, whatever makes you happy."

"Alright, Commander, it's time to move on to the next stop~"

Enjoying the curious gazes around them, Clemenceau linked arms with Rob and followed the flow of people to the other side of the street.

...

Rob was quite familiar with his next destination—the pet market.

The tabby cat Robb bought for Richelieu was purchased from this place.

Crouching at the bottom, Clemenceau seemed to really like these cats.

(Does this mean that all Richelieu-class students have a fondness for cats?)

Somewhat puzzled, Robb squatted down next to Clemenceau and said, "Which one do you like? I'll give it to you."

"I bought the cat I gave Richelieu from here as well."

However, unexpectedly, the affection that Clemenceau saw turned into regret when other people who had come to buy cats appeared.

She stood up and patted her heavy black cloak.

"Let's go, Commander, there's nothing I want here."

"Ok?"

Rob was puzzled by the other party's change of heart.

Watching Clemenceau's retreating figure without hesitation, Rob finally frowned and followed after him.

Chapter 765: Clemenceau's Answer

After leaving the pet market, the two went straight back to the port area.

Clemenceau seemed to have no interest in visiting any other places.

After dinner, Rob wandered aimlessly around the port area with nothing to do.

After turning two corners, Robb unexpectedly saw Clemenceau again.

Sitting on the stone bench, Clemenceau had a bottle of red wine in front of him.

To Rob's surprise, there was a pair of wine glasses on the table.

"As expected, Commander, even when you're taking a walk, you prefer to follow familiar routes."

Clemenceau spotted Robb and, smiling, invited him over for a drink.

Why are you so interested?

He gestured for Sirius and Dido to stay put, then Robb walked over and sat down opposite Clemenceau.

Upon seeing Robb take his seat, Clemenceau personally poured him a drink.

However, as she moved, the cloak covering her chest also shifted slightly.

To Robo's surprise, what was revealed was also a patch of fair skin.

(There can't be nothing underneath, can there?)

Just as Rob was lost in thought, Clemenceau's movement caused the golden cross that ran from her chest to her lower abdomen to strike the wine glass with a crisp sound.

The ethereal voice instantly snapped Rob out of his reverie.

Then he met Clemenceau's gaze, which held a faint smile.

It was obvious that Clemenceau had taken in Rob's expression just now.

"Hehe, have a taste, Commander, this is from my personal collection~"

Clemenceau acted as if he hadn't noticed Rob's expression at all, and pushed the wine glass towards Rob.

"Alright then, just one cup."

"You know, I don't really like drinking."

To cover up his earlier embarrassment, Rob had no choice but to pick up his glass and take a sip.

...

After downing half a glass of wine, Rob felt his face getting hot.

Fortunately, the cold wind at this time of year effectively relieved the heat that made him feel a little dizzy.

"By the way, at the pet market today, I noticed you really liked that kitten, why...?"
