Commander, you smell so good.

"That's really great! I didn't expect that you, Jiang Zheng, have such a good impression of us Sardinians. I wonder what your next plans are?"

Jiang Zheng was slightly stunned, then looked at Veneto who was waiting for him, thinking, this is really a boomerang, the topic has turned back again, he can only express his current thoughts for the time being.

"Actually, I don't have any thoughts. You guys saved me, so I should repay you. But I'm penniless now, and I don't know what to do..."

Jiang Zheng said with some trouble. Although he had traveled to the Blue Land, he was penniless and an illegal resident. There must be people with the same name, but the information would not match. Now he really had nowhere to go.

After all, the ship girls in front of him were not the ones with full favorability in his own port area, otherwise it would be simple and clear.

Veneto felt very satisfied after hearing Jiang Zheng's answer. Although he did not check his identity, the feeling he gave him was not false. At least the person who controlled his mind cube could not be that bad.

At least he thought of what he was going to say next. Veneto didn't want to say it for a moment, but after thinking about it, he decided that for the sake of you, me and everyone else, he still needed to say what was going to happen next.

For a moment, Veneto felt uncomfortable all over, but on the surface, Veneto still looked unchanged.

"Really? If you don't have any ideas for now, how about staying in Sardinia for now?"

"Is this really okay?!"

Jiang Zheng became a little excited. If he heard correctly, it would be great to be able to stay here.

Littorio and Veneto looked at each other at the same time and smiled. Once they got on the Sardinian ship, they could not get off.

"Of course, there's no problem. I just need an official identity, and that identity is... Littorio, you should tell me."

In the end, Veneto still couldn't say it, so he asked Littorio to say it. The latter happily took over the burden, shook Jiang Zheng's hand, and said something that stunned him with a smile on his face when he looked puzzled.

“This identity is…”

"My Littorio's lover!"

Chapter 8 Zara: I’m not good at matching clothes

"...ah?!"

Jiang Zheng was stunned when he heard Littorio's declaration of sovereignty, then he came to his senses and exclaimed in surprise. He looked at Littorio with an incredible expression, then looked at Veneto.

After seeing that the expressions on their faces did not seem fake, Jiang Zheng gradually calmed down, frowned slightly, narrowed his eyes, and looked at Littorio with a complicated expression.

"Hmm? What's wrong? Don't you believe it? Don't worry, since it comes from me, Littorio, there is no possibility of falsehood!"

"It's just that this is nominal. After all, Jiang Zheng, if you want to stay in Sardinia officially, you always need a convenient identity."

"But Littorio doesn't mind, so in the official propaganda, you are Littorio's lover."

"I see, I thought it was real..."

Seeing Jiang Zheng's expression that was three parts surprise, four parts panic, two parts nervousness, and one part secret joy, Veneto couldn't help but chuckle, with the corners of his mouth curved.

But at the same time, an explanation was also given, which made Jiang Zheng's old face blush uncontrollably. He immediately relaxed a lot, but also felt a little lost. After taking in his expression, the other ship girls raised the corners of their mouths at the same time and looked at him with a playful look, but without any malice.

Even after laughing, Veneto still felt a little complicated. After all, there were some truths and some lies in what he just said. They were lovers in name, but his sister was probably serious about it.

"Hmm?~, you want to be my real lover so soon? Then you should be more confident and work harder."

"After all, I'm really looking forward to seeing someone that Littorio has his eye on."

Littorio grinned, with trust in his eyes. He was already in his pocket. Now if he really wanted to take him down, he was still a little short of it, but it was just a piece of cake.

"Since you said so, I will work hard."

Jiang Zheng felt that Littorio's words had a hidden meaning, but he still nodded in agreement. No matter what, it was a foregone conclusion that he would stay in Sardinia, so he would think about other things later.

Watching Littorio talking to Jiang Zheng, Veneto didn't say much. The only important thing had been resolved, so it was time to really enjoy the dinner. After all, there was a good saying.

Only love and food cannot be let down.

Of course, Jiang Zheng and his two companions were not the only ones enjoying the dinner. The rest of the ship girls were talking to each other. Even if Jiang Zheng didn't pay attention, he could feel their gazes lingering on him from time to time.

Soon, the red-haired ship girl, Zara, couldn't wait to get to know the lover of Littorio.

"Ciao, it's a great honor to meet you, Mr. Jiang Zheng, I'm the heavy cruiser Zara."

"Just call me by my name, Miss Zara."

"Okay, Jiang Zheng, although some things brought you to Sardinia, I am still very happy that you can stay in Sardinia. I hope you can live happily in the future."

"If possible, how about we get to know each other a little bit when we have some free time?"

"Of course! But I don't drink much, Miss Zara."

Zara raised the champagne and expressed her respect to Jiang Zheng, then opened her mouth and wanted to have a good communication with him. Jiang Zheng nodded and did not refuse her request. Living in Sardinia, it is inevitable to come into contact with the ship girls.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang Zheng, are you familiar with the Skyhawk, an aircraft carrier belonging to the Sardinian Empire? We are able to meet here thanks to the guidance of the goddess of luck."

"Really? In that case, I have to thank the goddess of luck for letting me see you. But don't call me sir, I'm not used to it."

"Hmm~, okay, Jiang Zheng, come to think of it, do you like black tea?"

Soon, after three rounds of wine and five dishes, even though Jiang Zheng did not want to have any special contact, the ship girls still approached him at the same time. Some wanted to understand, some were wary, and some were interested.

After the dinner, Jiang Zheng, under Zara's guidance, began to familiarize himself with the Sardinia area. Of course, he couldn't become familiar with everything in just one night, but at least he needed to know where this iconic building was.

"Jiang Zheng, I wonder if you remember the positions I told you?"

"I remember it. If it's just a few positions, it's not a big deal. But if there are too many, it's hard to remember."

"Haha~, it's okay. If you forget, I don't mind taking you like this again. But in this case, Jiang Zheng has to agree to a small request of mine."

Walking on the spacious road, Zara looked at Jiang Zheng with a smile, her pair of golden orange eyes revealing a look of satisfaction.

During the short time she had spent with him, Zara had already roughly guessed his personality. He was not rude or impolite in his speech and behavior, and was gentle to others. He was just a little nervous, but that was not a problem. More contact would be enough.

The only thing that can be considered bad is that his eyes are a little dishonest, but Zara thinks that this is a recognition of her charm, so it is not a shortcoming. Although she feels a little shy in her heart, she does not feel troubled or disgusted.

What's more, Zara felt relaxed and at ease with him, as if she was with a friend who had known her for a long time.

If Zara hadn't thought about the fact that he was Littorio's lover, she felt that she could not help but want to touch him actively.

However, Zara's eyes turned, and after thinking of a good idea, she looked at him with a smile and made a small request to him.

"It's okay. I'm new here and I don't know anyone here. If I can help Zara, I'll do my best."

Jiang Zheng said seriously, with a meticulous look in his eyes. He was worried about how to build a good relationship with Zara. Now that she took the initiative to come up to him, what reason was there to refuse?

The favorability was visibly increased by one. Zara's smile became brighter, with a hint of red, and her eyes were slightly moist. Then she slowly said:

"Actually... it's not a particularly important thing, it's just that I'm not very good at matching clothes."

"So, tomorrow, Jiang Zheng, can you accompany me to buy some clothes?"

"no problem!"

"Then it's settled, Jiang Zheng."

After getting the promise he wanted, Zara took him back to the room prepared for him and left. Jiang Zheng didn't feel anything was wrong until Zara left.

Chapter 9 If You Don’t Eat, Someone Else Will

After the dinner, when Zara took Jiang Zheng to confirm the iconic location of Sardinia, Littorio was sitting on a high platform on the other side that Jiang Zheng couldn't see, holding a glass of red wine.

Turning his head, he watched him leave with Zara, and was thinking about how to punish his beloved lover when he returned. At this time, Veneto came to Littorio, his delicate and beautiful face full of worry, and finally asked her true thoughts in a serious tone.

"Littorio, are you serious?"

"Of course, Veneto, you know me. I, Littorio, mean what I say! He's the one I've set my eyes on, so I won't let him go."

Littorio spoke without turning her head until Jiang Zheng's figure gradually disappeared. Then she turned around and looked at Veneto with a relaxed and happy expression. Staring at her worried look, she couldn't help but smile and shook her head.

"Veneto, I know what you mean, but think about it, someone who can ignore the magic cube radiation of our ship girl and can also cause mind magic cube resonance, the importance is self-evident."

"Besides, I disdain to play tricks and deceive. He is unique, and so are my feelings."

Listening to Littorio's words that seemed to be full of deep emotion, Veneto couldn't help but blink his eyes. After making sure that he couldn't change her, he didn't say anything more, but he still couldn't help but sigh.

"Okay, Littorio, I understand. In that case, I won't bother you anymore."

Originally, she just wanted to persuade Littorio because she felt something was taken away from her, but since Littorio was serious, Veneto, as her sister, would naturally not do anything to obstruct her, both publicly and privately.

So she had to calm down and prepare to leave this unhappy place, but Littorio would not let her leave so easily.

Instead, he came in front of her, stopped her from leaving, and stared at her with a scrutinizing smile.

Then he said something that made her panic.

"Veneto, if I'm not mistaken, you also have such bold ideas about Jiang Zheng, right?"

"You! What did you say?! Littorio!"

Veneto was shocked when her inner thoughts were ruthlessly revealed by her sister. Then she showed a look of resistance, which made Littorio lose the desire to tease her.

"Veneto, you can't deceive me, your eyes won't let you speak"

"...Is it that obvious?"

"Believe me, even the Empire can hide you."

After Littorio said this, Empire, who was sleeping on the dinner table, raised his head and looked over. Then he muttered something and continued to sleep on the table.

Veneto took a deep breath, then met Littorio's eyes and gave up struggling to admit his thoughts.

"Littorio, you are right. I have some thoughts about Jiang Zheng."

After saying this, Littorio felt a little embarrassed. Although it was announced at the dinner that Jiang was Littorio's lover, even if they were just lovers in name only, he shouldn't have such thoughts.

It is said that people are afraid of their brothers suffering and driving a Land Rover. In fact, women are almost the same. When Veneto saw that Littorio was ahead of him, he felt a little uncomfortable. Although he didn't know where this inexplicable desire to compare came from, Veneto was unhappy.

However, what Littorio said next shocked Veneto.

"Actually, I don't mind your joining us that much, Veneto."

"?"

Hearing Littorio's unexpected words, Veneto slowly asked a question, and then for some reason he looked at the top of her head inexplicably, making the former feel offended.

"Don't guess too much. I don't have the feeling you guessed. Instead, I think it's very normal."

"Jiang Zheng is able to ignore our Rubik's Cube radiation and feels close to us, which means we are not the only ones around him."

"And Veneto, think about it, do you have this feeling in your heart?"

Littorio glanced at his sister lightly and thought thoughtfully, Jiang Zheng, he is like a rare treasure that is attractive to the ship girls. Even if he does nothing, he will attract a bunch of thieves who try to steal.

If that’s the case, then if I can’t stop it alone, why not ask my sisters to protect me together?

It's all going to be shared anyway, so why not give it to your good sisters instead of letting them go to outsiders?

With this idea in mind, Littorio told Veneto what he was planning, and Veneto tried to simulate Littorio's mentality. After not feeling anything, his mood became more complicated, but more of it was joy.

"It seems...I don't feel that way?"

"Since there isn't one, then Veneto, you should also have further contact with Jiang Zheng. Of course, it can also be a more in-depth contact."

"For example, how about taking a bath in your favorite big bath in Veneto?"

"This might just help us to further enhance the glory of our Sardinian Empire~"

Seeing the changes in Veneto, Littorio began to guide her thoughts. Since she had decided to do this, she would naturally resort to some tricks, even if they sounded unreliable. Veneto glanced at her with a blushing face.

But it must be said that what Littorio said just caught her attention. Her white-gloved fingers grabbed her clothes and she spoke uncertainly.

"No matter what, such behavior is not allowed for the time being."

"But... if you put it that way, I might consider it..."

Looking at the hesitant and uncertain Veneto, Littorio felt that he needed another push, so he said to her with a serious expression:

"Veneto, you have to know one thing, if you don't go, someone else will."

"I know very well that Zara and the others' eyes are not just on Jiang Zheng."

After saying this, Littorio took the great and sleeping empire to rest, leaving Veneto to think carefully here about what was important, since there was no rush anyway.

But what Littorio didn't know was that even though he knew that Jiang was a rare treasure that was attractive to ship girls, he never thought that he would lure all the ship girls in.

But now, after Littorio put Empire in place and covered him with a quilt, he walked towards the room prepared for Jiang Zheng to give him a little surprise.

After all, he is her amante. Isn't it normal for lovers to have little surprises?
