Commander, you smell so good.

Chapter 109: I pledge allegiance to you... (Breaking the cane)

Of course, Jiang Zheng naturally had no idea what was happening in the next room. After having a delicious barbecue with Z23, he prepared to go out for a walk.

And also because of his good barbecue skills, just the fragrant smell of meat and the crispy outside and tender inside that will make you salivate for three feet, he successfully made the acquaintance of several ship girls.

They are the submarines U556 and U73, the Z35 that loves to jump towards its iron-blooded idol, and the Nuremberg that gets shy when approached.

The three children were attracted by the delicious smell of meat. As for Nuremberg, he wanted to learn more about his barbecue skills, but he could only explain them orally. It was difficult to get close guidance.

After eating and drinking, they cleaned up the table. Although the Manju robot helped, Z23 disagreed with the table remaining there after eating, so they had to deal with it together.

After finishing the work, I took Z23's hand and walked on the road. The high-pole lights on the road were already on, and there was no one around. I walked slowly to a place closer to the beach. I could hear the sound of the waves and the cool breeze, which made me feel cool and comfortable.

Sitting on a chair facing the sea with the girl beside me, the night sky is dotted with stars, as if within reach, and the clear blue sea is so dark and deep that you can't see your hand in front of you, as if you are staring into the abyss.

"Z23, do you think there might be sea monsters in the ocean?"

"Sea monster? Commander, you mean the Loch Ness Monster, right? That's something the royal family heard about, a rumor from a long time ago."

"I don't know if there's a sea monster in Loch Ness, but here, not to mention sea monsters, whales are rarely seen. Sister Bismarck once had submarines explore it, and all they found were a few shipwrecks and gullies caused by crustal movement..."

When he told her about his experiences, Z23 immediately spilled the beans. The sheer volume of information made Jiang Zheng feel uneasy. Wasn't this a date? Why was he suddenly talking about all this?

Jiang Zheng gently pulled her hand up, coughed lightly in the girl's puzzled gaze, then looked at her with deep affection and said something about the identity change.

"Z23, what I mean is, you will protect me, right?"

"...So that's what the Commander meant? Please rest assured. I swear in the name of the Iron Blood Empire's 1936A-type destroyer Z23 that I will protect you until the very end."

Blinking his eyes, Z23 realized that his lover didn't care about the rumors, but wanted a deeper intimacy. But when he talked about protection, Z23 let go of his hand and performed the ancient loyalty ceremony of the Iron Blood Empire to him. The serious and meticulous expression scared Jiang Zheng. This was not right.

But seeing Z23's serious expression, Jiang Zheng accepted it. But after finishing, he couldn't help but laugh:

"I was just trying to tease you, but I didn't expect you to sneak up on me, Z23."

"I thought you were going to say something like how to get a girl to protect you."

"That's not the case, Commander. Although I know you're joking, as a ship girl, protecting you is my natural duty as a ship girl, considering my identity and emotions."

Sitting on his lap, Z23 said seriously, but at the same time felt a little panicked inside.

How could she not see her commander's little thoughts? She just thought that in the future there might be more and more colleagues around him, who might be her sisters or even her elder sisters.

All in all, Z23 wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to become the most important person in his mind.

Apparently she succeeded, and Jiang Zheng accepted her allegiance.

Although it is not a good thing for a man to say such words to a woman, Jiang Zheng's mindset has not completely changed, because the girl next to him is not a powerless girl, but a battleship girl who can withstand artillery shells, dodge torpedoes, and twist steel into twists with her bare hands.

"...Okay, I see what you mean."

"Then you will protect me from now on."

"Yes, Commander..."

I'm so tired, so alone

After saying all this, Z23 sat quietly on his lap, nestled in his arms, staring at the lighthouse on the coastline with a shy but joyful smile on her face.

She had just made the vow of eternal protection not long ago, but now, in the blink of an eye, she had become a soft girl who could only snuggle in his arms, enjoying the warmth of his body, recalling the ceremony and the loyalty that had just been facilitated.

Today's date alone was enough to make Z23 extremely happy. She had never imagined that she would be able to have such a surprise.

After all, her commander always attracts others easily and is often called over by other ship girls.

"Commander, I feel a little cold..."

"Are you cold? Or are you tired after teaching you all day?"

Z23 rubbed Jiang Zheng's neck, raised her head and stared at Jiang Zheng. There was a slight blush on her fair and tender face, but it was impossible to guess what the girl was thinking.

"No, it's almost nine o'clock now, and the wind is getting colder. The breeze with the smell of the ocean will make you catch a cold."

"Will the shipgirl catch a cold?"

"I'm just worried about you, Commander. We shipgirls don't catch colds."

Not daring to meet his eyes, Z23 looked away. She had something in her mind but couldn't express it too directly, yet if she didn't say it, she would feel particularly pretentious.

"Well, actually, my Z23 wants to go back, right? That's fine, but please accept this before you go back."

After saying that, Jiang Zheng touched her head, and in front of Z23's puzzled gaze, he took out an exquisite and beautiful white rose necklace from his arms. Although it was called a rose, it was actually a piece of jewelry made of silver. There was a sparkling sapphire in the center of the flower. Although it was a little small, it was just right for Z23.

Under Z23's expectant gaze, Jiang Zheng slowly took the necklace and helped her tie it around her neck. The beautiful ornament on her snow-white neck made the girl less immature and hazy, and she had some mature temptation, but she was still far from mature enough.

But this is enough. Z23 has the figure and appearance of a young girl. Too many accessories will only make her look like a little adult. Only this unripe green fruit is the most suitable for her at this moment.

"Is it beautiful?"

"Of course you look good. After all, you are my Z23. This is my gift to you."

"Only yours"

Chapter 110 Today, Eat Z23

Carefully holding up the necklace worn on her chest, Z23 looked at its exquisite beauty, feeling an indescribable emotion spreading in her heart.

The first time I received such a gift was from Z1 Big Sister, but what Big Sister gave was like a sister giving to a younger sister, while what he gave was a token of love between lovers.

Staring at the necklace in her hand, Z23's thoughts drifted away, and her eyes unconsciously looked at Jiang Zheng. A hint of love rose in her blue-purple eyes, but after staring for a few seconds, Z23 avoided looking away, like a shy girl who was meeting him for the first time.

"What's wrong? Don't you like it? Why are you staring at me like that?"

"If you don't like it, I'll take it back..."

"No! Commander, you can't make jokes like this casually!"

Seeing him reaching out his hand with a wicked smile, Z23 quickly stepped back a little, turned sideways to protect her necklace, with an expression of disapproval on her face. This was the first time he gave her a gift, and she would not return it no matter what.

"I know, I was just trying to tease you, Nimi-chan."

"I think this is the first time you accept a gift from me, but don't worry, this is just the first time, there will be more in the future."

Talking about the promises for the future, Jiang Zheng held her hand and said that the gift was just a small thing, and it was more about expressing one's feelings. For the outstanding girl in front of him, Jiang Zheng had no reason to push her away, so naturally he had to hold her tightly in his arms.

Although there are many people in my arms.

"I understand, Commander. I will sincerely accept anything you give me."

"...Um, do you want a kiss?"

Looking at Jiang Zheng's face and feeling touched, Z23 took the initiative to ask for something from him, letting go of the necklace in her hand. Her delicate little hand rested on a palm that was bigger than hers. The hand, which was much rougher than a woman's, made Z23 feel particularly at ease.

She moved her body and snuggled up to his side, feeling the warmth, touch and faint smell of the two people's contact. Even in the cold sea breeze, it was still warm.

He was like a lighthouse, giving her the correct direction to move forward.

Jiang Zheng lowered his head to look at Z23's eyes filled with lingering affection. Her tender red lips lifted slightly, then slowly opened and closed, as if she was tempting him. Her delicate and beautiful facial features had already made her stand at the top of the pyramid, but what was more attractive was her unintentional charm, which was what attracted him the most.

Jiang Zheng naturally would not refuse his girlfriend's invitation. He lowered his head and kissed her, savoring the taste of her lips.

......

"Let's go back together."

"Well..."

Their lips parted, and Z23 took his hand, her cheeks flushed, and pulled him to her room.

As they walked on the road, neither of them spoke. Jiang Zheng wanted to be closer to her, but Z23 was like a little wife who became shy after being bold. She deliberately avoided him until he entered her room.

"Commander, I'm going to go take a shower first. You can stay here for a while."

"Why don't you just stop washing?"

"No! This is respect! And it's cold outside. I need to go take a shower. You'll be fine soon anyway."

After glaring at him, Z23 quickly picked up her clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower. Listening to the rustling sound of running water, Jiang Zheng lay on the big bed with his arms outstretched, looking at the white ceiling. This rare wait surprised him a little.

Because most of the time they just get in touch with each other without saying anything more. The main thing is that things will happen naturally, and besides, it's impossible to refuse at that point.

Will be forced.

This is the first time that someone like Z23 takes a bath beforehand. This is not iron-blooded at all.

Listening to the sound of running water, Jiang Zheng was in a daze, lost in thought. He didn't even know when the noise in the bathroom ended. He didn't come back to his senses until Z23 called his name.

"Commander, what's wrong? Commander?"

"Nothing, just spaced out for a while... But Z23, you changed into pajamas? This one looks surprisingly bold."

Hearing the clear and gentle voice calling in his ear, Jiang Zheng came back to his senses and turned to look at his girlfriend. He saw her crawling on the bed and pushing herself, with the unique fragrance of shower gel on her body. Her already snow-white skin became even more crystal clear after bathing, with a rosy glow on her white, and her tender skin seemed as if water would come out with a slight touch.

Although her short hair had become much drier after being blown by the hair dryer, tiny water droplets could still be seen in it. Strands of hair stuck to her face, and her beautiful eyes were filled with excitement and nervousness.

"Well, since I thought about something like that, although it's not the first time, I wanted to correct the order..."

She looked down at her pajamas. The bra was connected to the tulle. The translucent appearance obviously couldn't cover anything, but it gave people a hazy sense of temptation. As her body swayed, the lace skirt also swayed.

This bold and sexy pajamas was a gift from Prince Eugen a long time ago, who said that it would be useful in the future. At first she felt that she was being teased, but she could only fight back and was forced to accept this unique gift.

Now it seems that the gift Prince Eugen gave him was just right. Z23 started laughing when he thought about it.

Thank you, Eugen.

"Make up for the order? But I remember the first time, it was you and Eugen who forced me to do it, right?"

"...Commander, that wasn't forced! I was bewitched by you and became like this."

“In short, you need to take responsibility.”

Z23 felt a little annoyed when he mentioned the previous incident, so she sat on him and looked down at him.

In any case, tonight is the commander's Good Friday.

......

"Eugen, why hasn't the commander returned yet?"

"No reason, he must have fallen asleep comfortably in the bed of some unknown woman, or maybe he's still being humiliated by some ship girl."

Until the early hours of the morning, Blücher was waiting for Jiang Zheng's return, and he also joined forces with his good sister Prince Eugen to give the commander a wonderful sister experience this time.

But unfortunately, all the waiting tonight was in vain. Seeing that the message he sent fell on deaf ears, Eugen knew that there was no hope tonight.

"Okay, Blücher, we should go back to bed and leave the commander alone."

"Good~"

Blücher naturally had no objection to being pulled to the bedroom by Eugen to sleep. Since her beloved commander had gone somewhere else, she would sleep with her sister on a rare occasion.

Watching the two people enter the bedroom, Parseval, who had been silent all this time, frowned.

How did they go in as if it were their own free will? Isn't this the castle that belongs to her and her familiar?

When did it become their home?

Chapter 111 Intimate Tenderness

There was no such thing as a normal first time. When Z23 woke up, she found herself lying on top of her lover. Seeing that he was still sleeping soundly, Z23 stared at him for a long time before gradually coming to her senses. His hair was disheveled and his eyes were sleepy, but he had a happy smile on his face.

Sitting up, she felt the swelling in her abdomen. Now, even the slightest movement could make her feel the full weight. Facing the extra 'burden' added overnight, Z23 left the charging plug with a smile, changed into some comfortable clothes, and prepared a hearty morning for the first time. This time, as a wife, she was preparing, so it would inevitably take more time.

An hour or two later, a rich breakfast is placed on the table in the living room. The delicious food is appetite-stimulating. Even before you step into the living room, the aroma alone is enough to make you salivate and replenish the energy consumed by nighttime exercise.

After everything was ready, Z23 took off her white apron and went to the bedroom with anticipation. Seeing that he was still sleeping soundly, she felt a little uneasy. This feeling lasted until the moment close to dawn. Would it be a bad idea to wake him up now?

After checking the time, Z23 chose to climb onto the bed and called out to him in a gentle voice to wake him up from his sleep.

"Commander~, it's time to get up."

"Ok?"

Because of the demands of his unsatisfied little wife, Jiang Zheng remained unmoved after being pushed a few times. Instead, he hugged Z23's delicate body in his arms, smelled the familiar scent, and continued to sleep.

"Commander? Commander~, wow, it's rare that I made breakfast."

Being held in his arms, Z23 pouts a little, but also smiles happily. It is obviously a troublesome thing, but it makes her feel a different kind of warmth.

Nestled in his arms, Z23 did not continue to wake him up, but let him sleep for a while longer, just for a while, otherwise the breakfast would get cold and would not taste good.
