Azur Lane, I really didn’t lose my memory!

"You can say that the formation of a tornado is related to the flapping of a butterfly's wings, but you can't say that the flapping of a butterfly's wings formed a tornado."

"After all, there are so many butterflies, and not every butterfly that flaps its wings will eventually become a tornado, right? And I... I'm telling you that my friend was so lucky that he became the butterfly that caused the tornado."

"So now my friend is a little overwhelmed by the number of girls who like him."

"Also, his willpower is very weak. Facing so many outstanding girls, he actually can't control himself. Many times, his desires will break through his beliefs, and he will want to do this or that with them..."

“It sounds a bit Versailles… but that’s probably it…” Lu Xiuyuan scratched his head and asked a little embarrassedly: “What do you think?”

Yuanchou was silent for a long time.

Commander, is the friend you are talking about really not you?

029-The Farmer and the Rabbit

As a nun in Minato, she is the head of the confessional.

Yuanchou has listened to too many people's worries and voices. Although... other people's worries are slightly different from the commander's, they are generally the same kind of problems.

So when faced with the commander's troubles, she answered them with ease.

"Okay, Commander, I understand what you mean." Yuanqiu summarized, "In short, for you, all this suddenly made you feel overwhelmed, and made you feel that you were unworthy of it, which led to self-doubt, right?"

"It's not me, it's a friend of mine." Lu Xiuyuan corrected.

"Okay, okay, it's a friend of the Commander." Yuanchou said helplessly. The hypocritical Commander was a little difficult to deal with. She continued, "Then the Commander's... friend's problem can be summarized as follows: a small investment in exchange for a huge return made him feel unworthy. It's just good luck, right?"

"That's right." Lu Xiuyuan added, "But feeling guilty is only a small part of it. The greater part is happiness and joy, just like a nouveau riche who wins the lottery jackpot."

"That sounds a bit hypocritical."

"I feel so myself."

From a small person at the bottom of society, you have suddenly become a well-known commander, and you have hundreds of beautiful ship girls who only have you in their hearts by your side. You should wake up with a smile in your dreams.

But the education we received since childhood tells us that there is a reward for hard work, and you will reap what you sow.

But at the moment, I always feel uneasy because I get so much reward without paying any price, or with just a little effort.

When I went back to my room in the old dormitory building to sleep in the morning, I woke up several times. I was worried that it was just a dream, and when I woke up I would have to go back to volunteer to work overtime.

"In fact, I think that, after all, the commander's friends are just too honest."

"Too honest."

"Yes." Yuanchou said softly, "Things that are not obtained through long-term efforts and a lot of sweat always make people feel uneasy, and feel that everything in this world can only be obtained through hard work. If you don't get it, it means you haven't worked hard enough, so you need to continue working hard, and comfort yourself with this thought."

"And the kind of story these people like to hear most is about seeing someone who has great luck and then has great misfortune."

"Just now, Commander, you used the example of winning the lottery, so I'll use that as an example too. I think you've often heard stories like this, where lottery winners, after unexpectedly getting a windfall, quickly start living a life of extravagance and indulgence, getting into bad habits like gambling and taking drugs, and within a few years, not only do they spend all the money they won, they also end up in debt, and their lives are worse than before they won the lottery."

"Are there people like this? Yes, but only a minority. Most people are just like usual, hiding their wealth from the public. Some even wear masks when they go to receive awards."

"Those stories about people losing all their money quickly after winning the lottery are mostly self-consolation for those who didn't win the lottery."

"If they really want to win the lottery, those people will go to the lottery shop more diligently than anyone else."

"So, Commander, there are always many good things in this world that can be obtained without much effort, but more requires luck."

"There is an old saying in Donghuang: wait for the rabbit by the tree. A farmer was resting on a tree beside the field. Suddenly a rabbit jumped out and crashed its head into the tree and died. So the farmer picked up a rabbit for no reason."

"Would the farmer say that he felt uneasy because he did nothing but lean against a tree to rest for a while and got a rabbit for free?"

"Or should I prove my strength, release the rabbit, and then work hard to learn hunting skills and catch the rabbit on my own?"

"So, Commander, God has given you a gift, so just open your mouth and be honest. There is no need to show off or feel unworthy of it. Just be as usual."

Lu Xiuyuan remained silent.

On the other side of the curtain, a dripping sound suddenly occurred.

That's the notification sound of incoming messages on the chat software.

Yuanchou took out his phone and glanced at the message, then said, "I think the commander is a man of ideas, and my few words alone may not be enough to impress you. So, I'll prove it to you with actual actions."

"Actual action?" Lu Xiuyuan asked doubtfully.

"We just talked so much about the story of the farmer and the rabbit. Even if the commander feels that he is the farmer who deserves it..."

"It's not me, it's a friend of mine." Lu Xiuyuan corrected again.

"..."

"Well, even if the commander's friend feels that he is the undeserving farmer, what if the rabbit just wants to crash into the tree next to the farmer? And it wants to crash into him?"

"How could there be such a stupid rabbit?" Lu Xiuyuan curled his lips.

Yuanchou showed a confident and charming smile. She turned off the screen of her phone and said slowly, "There really is such a silly rabbit. So... let's listen to the rabbit's voice..."

----

Not long after, Lu Xiuyuan was dragged into the confessional where the clergy were located.

"That's not good. I'm not a clergyman. I can't eavesdrop on other people's confessions..."

"It doesn't matter. For the ship girl, the commander is the first in her faith. If the commander hears it, I think it's okay." Yuanchou held Lu Xiuyuan's arm with his arm, "But commander, don't make any noise later, lest the ship girl who comes to confess finds out that you are there and dares not speak out her true thoughts."

"Okay, okay, I get it. I won't make any noise, but could you please stop moving around, it's a bit crowded..."

The compartment is not spacious.

The confessional is designed to be one-on-one, the space is not too large, and the seats are for one person only.

It's spacious enough for one person, but it's crowded for two.

Now, Lu Xiuyuan and Yuanchou were squeezed in this small compartment.

Since Lu Xiuyuan was a tall man of 1.85 meters, and Yuanchou was also a tall and plump woman, in the narrow space, some physical contact between their sensitive parts was inevitable.

Lu Xiuyuan felt his anger being provoked.

"Oh, I see." Yuanchou's amber eyes turned, "But there's nothing we can do about it. The compartment is so narrow."

She felt some changes in the commander's body and took the initiative to say, "I think it would be more comfortable if we change positions."

"what?"

"Commander, please open your thighs to both sides first."

Although he was a little confused, Lu Xiuyuan still did it.

Afterwards, Yuanchou twisted her plump body and sat in the middle of Lu Xiuyuan's thighs in a duck-sitting posture, directly on the carpet, with her swan-like neck raised, and her charming amber pupils gazing at Lu Xiuyuan affectionately.

The single seat that originally accommodated two people was freed up and it was no longer so crowded, and it felt much more comfortable.

But... isn't this position a bit bad?

Lu Xiuyuan was just about to say, "Why don't we just keep things as they are? This makes me even more angry."

He was about to speak when Yuanchou suddenly straightened up, put his finger on his lips, and then shushed him.

Yuanchou pointed outside the door with his other hand.

Outside the confessional, light footsteps sounded...

030-The Lost Lamb

Inside the small cubicle, the ambiguous atmosphere is intensifying.

Originally, Yuanchou was sitting on the carpet between Lu Xiuyuan's legs in a duck-like posture. Although this posture was a bit bad, it barely managed to break Lu Xiuyuan's fragile will.

But as the footsteps outside the door approached, Yuanchou put his finger on his lips, and his posture suddenly became worse.

Originally, Yuanchou was just sitting like a duck, but in order to be able to touch her lips with her fingers, her posture naturally changed from sitting like a duck to kneeling. Her slender waist was straightened, and the expression of justice on her chest became more shocking.

Lu Xiuyuan looked down.

Oops.

That is the unbearable burden of life.

It feels so good...

No, my pants moved, I don’t want to play anymore, please let me go!

However, Yuanchou was not a girl who was easily fooled. She calmly pointed outside the door and said in a low voice, "Commander, the rabbits are coming. If you go out now, you will scare them."

As if to verify the words of resentment, the sound of "rabbit" was heard from outside the door.

"Ms. Yuanchou, are you there?"

"Eh? Weird, why don't I see anyone? I just checked on my phone..."

The voice was gentle but mixed with a hint of nervousness, and seemed to reveal a bit of lack of confidence.

Lu Xiuyuan was still wondering whose voice it was. Yuanchou coughed lightly and said to the outside of the door, "I'm in the confession room. Just come in."

"Oh, okay, I'll be right there."

The sound of high heels tapping on the church floor came from far away and then the owner of the sound opened the door on the other side of the confessional and sat down opposite Lu Xiuyuan and Yuanchou.

"Well, lost lamb, tell the Lord your sins before Him, and He will forgive you for everything."

After the person opposite sat down, Yuanchou spoke softly.

The voice was serious, solemn, and had a hint of religious mystery. If it weren't for the bad posture that ruined Lu Xiuyuan's impression of the nun, he would probably really follow the voice and get into the role naturally.

But right now, compared to the matter of grudges.

He cares less about who did it on the other side than what the other side's ship girl wants to repent for?

After all, in his heart, each of the ship girls is a little angel or an archangel. Such angels cannot do bad things and naturally do not need to repent.

but……

If you really want to repent, what did you do wrong?

It's really curious.

There was silence in the cubicle opposite for a moment.

Then the girl could be heard breathing in slightly, as if she was taking a deep breath.

After a moment, the confessor, who had prepared himself mentally, mustered up his courage and spoke:

"Miss Sister, I, I am guilty."

"What crime have you committed?" Yuanchou asked.

Lu Xiuyuan listened with his ears lowered, he knew that his doubts would soon be answered.

"I, I committed the sin of lust!"

"I, I have sexual fantasies, Master!"

"ah!??"

Lu Xiuyuan subconsciously let out an "ah" sound. Fortunately, Yuanchou discovered it in time and quickly covered his mouth with his hand to prevent the ship girl who came to confess from discovering his presence.

"Well, I see."

Yuanchou seemed to be used to such an answer. She patiently asked, "Go on, how did you develop lust for the commander?"

Lu Xiuyuan was completely numb.

He understood, but was shocked.

To be honest, I haven't come to confess my lust for your body, but you are confessing your lust for mine...

Ah this...

He listened carefully, full of curiosity about the identity of the ship girl who came to confess.

Then, a woman's voice mixed with slight sobbing was heard from the other side of the curtain.

"The cause of this incident was due to the group announcement last night..."

"When the commander was still here, I also had some bad thoughts about the master's health, but at that time I also knew that I was just a humble maid who didn't even have a ring. I had no right to beg for the master's mercy, not to mention that the master had so many marriage ships that were much better than mine..."

"But...but the group announcement last night said, said...wuwu...said..."

At this point, the sobbing became louder and louder, and it was not difficult to imagine the other party's state at the moment.

"Don't be in a hurry, take a breath and talk slowly." Yuanchou comforted.

"They said...they said the master had lost his memory and didn't remember anything about us."

"Well, what next."
