"It would be better if the profession was a shrine maiden; then I might be more interested in recruiting her..."

Aono closed the panel in front of her and placed her, Akiyama Mio, and the others together.

Kasumi Ishido is a character in the anime/manga series "Saki," and she is the captain of the mahjong club.

Aono remembered that she seemed to be a shrine maiden who served some kind of god, so she often wore shrine maiden clothes.

He didn't know the specifics.

There are hundreds of female characters in the mod, and he's not the mod's creator, so it's impossible for him to know them all.

The world the character lives in goes without saying.

Even if I've seen it, I've forgotten most of it.

Like the Kage and Tsunade, he only says what he knows.

If you don't know anything at all, then don't say anything at all.

As for Ishido Kasumi, let alone recruiting her, Aono has no interest in even trying her out.

He'd had enough these past few days; tonight he was going to continue raising Coco's trust level.

If you reach 20% completion today, you'll meet the recruitment requirements.

This time, Aono doesn't plan to recruit immediately. Instead, he decides to recruit in the morning, just as he planned last time.

If it feels right, the recruitment time will be set for the morning.

If that doesn't work, then try recruiting at noon next time.

Try different time slots, morning, noon, and night, and you'll eventually find a suitable time to recruit.

After dinner, the four members of Aono went to the training room again.

The current training room can only be used by one person at a time. When he uses it, Dudu doesn't get any bonuses, and when Dudu uses it, he doesn't get any bonuses.

This was troublesome, so Aono decided to upgrade the training room as soon as he had enough materials.

Similar to shops, functional buildings such as canteens, training rooms, and dormitories will display in advance the functions that will be unlocked after upgrading.

The Level 2 training room can add two more student seats.

That is, a martial artist can instruct three students at the same time.

Because Aono needed to increase Coco's trust level, he first used two hours of training time.

Even without any bonuses, Dudu continued to train with him in extracting chakra.

In order to provide a boost, Tsunade also needs to be in the training room.

Bored, she decided to find a corner of the dojo where Ying practiced martial arts alone.

"Shadow, practicing martial arts alone is no fun. Let's spar!"

A blonde, busty female ninja stood in front of the aloof, purple-haired older woman and suggested, "But let's make it clear first, no weapons allowed, I'm afraid of blood."

"It's just a friendly exchange, that's how it should be."

Ying smiled and nodded in agreement.

She's overjoyed to have someone to train with, so why would she refuse?

Her specialty is knife skills, but that doesn't mean she's bad at hand-to-hand combat.

Tsunade possesses superhuman strength to enhance the power of her punches and kicks, but the Kage level is higher than hers, and he also has lightning element to strengthen his body. Overall, he is in no way inferior to Tsunade.

The two immediately engaged in a fierce battle.

The dojo floor was shattered and scorched during their sparring match.

Thankfully, the training room has a recovery function; otherwise, after a few more sparring sessions between the two, there wouldn't even be a place to stand.

"Hey, you guys better watch out, it costs 10 gold coins to repair it!"

At 10 o'clock, Aono completed two hours of chakra extraction.

Before returning to the captain's cabin, he called out to the Kage and Tsunade, who were still locked in combat.

Gold coins are useful everywhere in the Ark; they're the currency of this world.

With fewer people now, all the gold coins earned by everyone are pooled together and managed collectively.

After Tsunade joined the battle, Aono stopped restricting her drinking, and the issue of 50 gold coins a day disappeared.

However, as the number of members increases, everyone will need to spend gold coins, so there needs to be a clear system for how the profits should be divided.

Especially for those in life professions who can't participate in combat, we can't expect them to hand over all the gold they earn from their jobs for unified management, can we?

Who would have the motivation to work then?

The cooperative communist model was beneficial for development in the early stages, but once the infrastructure was completed and the number of members increased, privatization became inevitable.

Aono was not good at domestic affairs; he only had a vague concept, not the specifics of how to implement it...

He needs a secretary, a secretary who is good at internal affairs.

This is something a secretary should do; if he's going to do it, he should be a secretary.

"The main storyline revolves around developing the Ark, so there must be survivors with that kind of career, right?"

Back in the captain's cabin, Aono went into the bathroom to shower while contemplating future developments.

"And the Tier 3 Ark will have an additional vice-captain position... I guess that's what they call a mascot? A secretary ship?"

"I wonder if this location will increase trust points..."

After taking a shower, Qingye returned to the bedroom and began his pre-sleep exercise while embracing Koko's slender and tall body.

On the other side, in the training room.

After Qingye left, Dudu spent 200 gold coins to start a two-hour training session.

Her combat talent is average, but fortunately she started early and is diligent enough, so in terms of combat power she can still surpass Tsunade for the time being.

However, if this trend continues, it's only a matter of time before she withdraws from frontline combat.

There's nothing we can do about it.

Aono had already told her that.

Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. The little cook shouldn't be fighting on the front lines; she should be providing buffs to the combatants from the rear.

And the Kage and Tsunade finally stopped.

"I'm not fighting anymore, I have no strength left."

Tsunade wiped the sweat from her forehead and took the initiative to call a halt.

The battle, which lasted for more than two hours, completely drained her chakra and stamina.

Ying is better than her.

Her lightning element passive skill consumed almost no energy, and her level was higher than Tsunade's, giving her more stamina.

Most importantly, Tsunade's taijutsu skills were just so-so in her opinion.

Ultimately, Tsunade's superhuman strength and physical skills have little to do with technique; her main strength lies in her ability to fly with immense power.

It suits Aono's reckless and impulsive style very well.

However, it's difficult to achieve anything when facing someone like Shadow who surpasses them in all aspects.

"Well, it's about time."

Ying put away her stance, her long legs in black stockings slowly coming together, and she regained her calm and aloof demeanor.

"I had a great time. Let's spar again when you get stronger."

Tsunade opened the panel and took a look.

She leveled up three times today, bringing her combat power to 87, but she's still far from being a Shadow.

The combat power of a level 17 Shadow has already exceeded three digits.

Tsunade silently calculated in her mind that even if she reached the same level and filled the Yin Seal, she still might not be able to reach the combat power of a Kage.

While the outcome of a battle cannot be solely determined by combat strength, having superior combat strength certainly provides a natural advantage.

Tsunade has a strong competitive spirit, but she's currently in a state of giving up, otherwise she would challenge the Kage to a duel.

But now she's not so insistent.

We'll see when the time comes.

Tsunade chuckled, her two exaggeratedly soft breasts swaying in front of her.

She walked to the other corner, picked up the wine bottle that had been placed there beforehand, and chugged down several mouthfuls.

Even if we catch up, what then?

Once the enemy transforms into a flesh-and-blood monster, she becomes utterly useless.

Because they are afraid of blood, they can't even stay in the back to watch.

By the time Dudu finished her workout, it was already late at night, and the three girls returned to their dormitory together.

After entering the dormitory and saying goodbye to Ying and Dudu, Tsunade once again entered the room containing the six NPC survivors.

No matter how many times she watched it, she found it incredibly magical.

I touched them and fiddled with them, but apart from reciting the same lines, they still didn't react at all.

The blonde, busty female ninja subconsciously recalled that she used to look like that, and then Aono casually manipulated her...

As embarrassing images surfaced in her mind, Tsunade's ripe body involuntarily began to heat up.

A warm, moist sensation appeared between her voluptuous, long, and shapely legs.

She's still a virgin, and she's only ever held hands with her boyfriend, Kato Dan, but now she's actually developing a taste for it.

"Tsk, this liquor is really strong."

Tsunade returned to her room in embarrassment and anger, blaming the changes in her body on sake as she rushed into the bathroom.

As a skilled and mature female ninja, she began to use her skills to alleviate the abnormality in her body.

This time, however, the blurry figure she imagined was completely replaced by Aono's tall and strong body.

As she comforted herself, her trust level, which had risen to 65% after a day of fighting side by side, began to slowly rise again.

The increase wasn't large, but it was still rising.

……

……

6:00 AM the next day.

Aono got up, washed up, and then cleaned up the messy bedroom.

After he finished tidying up, the three women also arrived at the captain's cabin.

"Brother Qingye, you go ahead and recruit. I'll go make breakfast."

Little Chef Dudu had already watched the recruitment animation twice and lost interest, so she went straight to the kitchen.

I wasn't very interested in the movie after watching it once.

But she couldn't help in the kitchen, so she stayed behind.

Aono had even less interest.

I skillfully clicked on the recruitment button, and after the system prompted me, I selected "OK".

Then there's a five-minute wait.

The only one who was probably interested was Tsunade.

She stared intently at Coco, who was enveloped in a stream of light, and activated her senses to the maximum.
