Commander, you smell so good.

"Good morning, Miss Tianying, you don't have to use honorifics for me."

His body trembled for some reason, but Jiang Zheng quickly noticed Tianying's beautiful eyes moving over him. Being looked at so directly made Jiang Zheng stand up straighter.

"After all, politeness is the most basic of all virtues for a lady, and we cannot afford to be disrespectful."

"But Mr. Jiang Zheng looks very good in this navy uniform. It suits you very well."

After a careful look, Tianying smiled and nodded, praising Jiang Zheng generously, which made him feel much better. However, he still explained seriously:

"To be precise, it's just a similar white suit. I'm not qualified to wear a real navy uniform right now."

I stroked my chest with my palm, feeling the touch, which was not rough at all, but rather very comfortable and gentle.

Although he didn't know how expensive the fabric was, Jiang Zheng couldn't help but look at Littorio. With the latter's encouraging look, Jiang Zheng's temperament gradually became more confident.

"Really? But it doesn't matter. Even so, Mr. Jiang Zheng is still very handsome."

Even though Jiang Zheng didn't want to, he gradually lost himself under Tianying's praise.

"Okay, you two, if you don't hurry over here, I think we'll have to forfeit our share of that delightful breakfast."

Seeing that the relationship between Tianying and Jiang Zheng was rapidly developing, Littorio had to interrupt their friendly interaction. Waiting was not a fun thing.

"Ahem, let's go, let's go..."

Hearing this, Jiang Zheng stopped talking to Tianying and followed Littorio and the others as they quickened their pace to the restaurant. Tianying kept his eyes on Jiang Zheng with a smile on his face.

......

"By the way, Littorio, do we all eat together here in Sardinia?"

Jiang Zheng and others took two steps at a time and arrived at the restaurant. Feeling the many emotions expressed by the ship girls, Jiang Zheng did not ask anything.

But after finishing the meal, Jiang Zheng saw Huang Ji, dressed as a waiter, carrying the plate away. He couldn't help but come to Littorio and wanted to ask her.

However, when he was close to Littorio, he could smell a rose-like fragrance, and he could see her white neck from the side and back. He couldn't help but look at her a few more times before asking.

"Of course. Even though we are shipgirls, Veneto, Empire, Skyhawk and the others are like our family. Shouldn't a family gather together for a meal?"

"Of course, my great empire will be sent from Veneto for some special reasons."

Littorio turned his head and spoke in a matter-of-fact tone, causing Jiang Zheng to nod, understanding the situation.

There couldn't be any special reason. It must be that the empire was too lazy and couldn't get up.

After arranging the Empire in his mind, Jiang Zheng saw that most of the ship girls in the restaurant had left. After all, not everyone is as idle as him, and there will always be things of their own to do.

"Well, my commander, I have to go on patrol. I can't stay in Littorio's arms all day."

"Besides, my territory needs to be inspected, and we might even encounter lost enemies. I, Littorio, will be needed to guide them."

“I am a truly kind person.”

"Well, my beautiful and kind Littorio, I hope you have a safe journey and come back soon."

Seeing Littorio starting, Jiang Zheng didn't ask any more questions, but gave her a kiss of blessing goodbye before she was about to leave.

"Hmm~, very good, my Amante, you have already obtained one-fifth of my romance, keep up the good work."

After giving him a wink, Littorio left happily, while Jiang Zheng took a deep breath and planned to go see Veneto.

Littorio would not shoot at himself aimlessly, so there is only one answer.

Veneto!

After leaving the restaurant, Jiang Zheng came to a building that looked extremely large and imposing. On the top of the building were two bronze statues waving weapons in opposition to each other and a logo in the middle. Jiang Zheng felt that the building in front of him was familiar.

“Like, very similar, very similar”

It was like a palace called White Palace across the ocean, but considering that they all seemed to be of the same style, I didn't think any more about it and entered the palace in front of me.

After walking through the winding roads and asking the automatic patrolling Manju, Jiang Zheng still did not find Veneto's room. Instead, he saw a ship girl on duty.

The navy blue tricorn hat on her head and the cloak on her body are particularly eye-catching. Her straight standing posture makes her look heroic. The short saber at her waist and the carbine in her hand cannot be underestimated.

In Sardinia, the only ship girl who can maintain such a state is the guard of the Imperial flagship Veneto, the Dragoon.

"Good morning, Dragoon, is Veneto in there?"

Jiang Zheng came to the front of the dragoon and asked where Veneto was. The latter's face was frightened, but soon returned to normal.

"Good morning! Mr. Jiang Zheng! ...No! Dragoons! Welcome, Commander! Lord Veneto!"

"?"

Hearing the name of the dragoon, Jiang Zheng slowly asked a question, but then his face froze and he began to explain:

"Dragoon, I'm not the commander. This suit I'm wearing was prepared by Littorio, and..."

Jiang Zheng leaned over, staring at the Dragoon's meticulous face, and asked doubtfully:

"Besides, why would you call me that?"

To be honest, when Littorio called him that, Jiang Zheng thought it was a private name between the two of them.

Although she still called Littorio her real name, it was understandable that she called herself commander. She said she was a ship and they rescued her, so this was the proper name to call her.

The main point is that everyone shouts their own opinions.

But when this name comes from a dragoon, it becomes very problematic.

I wouldn't just grab all the dragoons, would I? I didn't do anything.

"..."

The dragoon lowered his head and did not answer him, choosing to remain silent. Jiang Zheng didn't know what to say. He could only reach out and touch her big hat, then walked into the door and closed it.

Only after confirming that Jiang Zheng had completely entered did the dragoon look around to see if there was anyone around. He squatted down, put down his carbine, covered his red and hot face with his small hands, and muttered to himself:

"Ugh... too close, no, Dragoon! You can't do this, he belongs to Littorio-sama..."

Chapter 14 The past was the past, and the present is now

"Jiang Zheng, you're here? Please sit down."

When Jiang Zheng came in, Veneto, who was handling official business, raised his head and looked at him with a long-awaited smile on his face.

"Why do I feel like you knew I was coming, Lord Veneto?"

Looking up at the decoration in Veneto's office, I can't help but sigh that the ship girls will still enjoy what they should enjoy.

Then he came to the chair that Veneto had prepared in advance, sat upright, and looked like he was waiting for interrogation, which made Veneto laugh.

"Why are you suddenly so serious?"

"Nothing, I just suddenly remembered that Veneto, you seem to have a very high position?"

Looking up at the luxurious decoration, Jiang Zheng couldn't think of any other words to describe it except "Wow! It's beautiful, so beautiful."

But Jiang Zheng at least knew that he was only able to stay here with the help of Littorio, so he naturally couldn't be too casual.

"That's not necessary, Jiang Zheng. We're not the kind of people who care about these things. Well, for outsiders, it's only natural to show our attitude."

"And you are not"

"So, would you like some snacks and a cup of tea before work?"

After saying that, Veneto opened the small cabinet under his desk and took out a packaged sandwich and instant coffee. Jiang Zheng had a puzzled expression on his face, which made Veneto look confused.

"What's wrong? If you don't want to eat, that's fine too."

"Of course not. I'm just curious. Didn't you just have breakfast?"

"Well, Jiang Zheng, you have to understand one thing, that is, breakfast is breakfast, and dessert is dessert. You can't treat breakfast as dessert."

Seeing Veneto waving his hands and explaining the difference between the two to him, Jiang Zheng smiled silently, wiped his forehead, and nodded and said:

"...I completely understand, but no need for snacks."

"Let's talk about work first, and the abnormality in my body."

After skipping over Veneto's words, Jiang Zheng asked about work-related matters. Of course, the best thing would be to ask about the abnormality in his body, which he was completely unaware of.

"Abnormal? I didn't notice anything abnormal about you."

Veneto put away the dessert, frowned, and narrowed her eyes. At this moment, she had some of the temperament of an imperial flagship and a high-ranking person, but after looking at it several times, she didn't find anything wrong.

"Okay, in that case, I, the commander, will ask Littorio. Let's get to work."

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

I scratched my head and felt my scalp starting to itch. I felt like I was starting to grow some brains, but I quickly put the matter aside and finished my work first.

After all, Jiang Zheng really couldn't bring himself to do nothing but stay in Sardinia to eat, drink and have fun, and to be in love with Littorio.

"Well...it's okay. I'll teach you how to work."

"Also, the suit you are wearing today looks great and suits you very well."

"Thank you"

...

"It's unbelievable, Jiang Zheng, I didn't expect you to have such a good talent for clerical work."

"It's okay. I'm just prioritizing the work based on its priority. It's just a simple categorization. Honestly, that's all I can do."

Jiang Zheng felt a little shy when being stared at by Veneto with admiring eyes. He could only handle some very simple things, such as inventory statistics of warehouses, calculation of daily delivery of materials, consumption, etc.

It certainly wouldn't be easy for a novice like me, but after being beaten by society for several years, I must know a few things.

"However, there are still some particularly important documents that require your review."

After saying that, Jiang Zheng handed Veneto several written documents with flower stamps on them, because they needed to be signed and confirmed in person, and he did not have the authority to do so.

Moreover, there is a special document inside, which has only a string of numbers on it, and it comes from Sangvishes.

"Well, this is indeed a bit troublesome. I need to communicate with the Senate Director of the Sardinian Empire."

Veneto took the document Jiang Zheng handed to him, took a few glances at the contents, and after confirming that they were correct, he began to sign and stamp them. He did the same for the first few documents.

However, by the last chapter, the slight smile on Veneto's face disappeared visibly, and then his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing an indescribable gloomy expression.

“Is this thing important?”

Jiang Zheng looked at Veneto's mood plummeting like a rocket and couldn't help asking. The latter nodded and explained the purpose of this string of numbers.

"This is a top-secret communication number from Iron Blood. Unless it's something extremely important, they generally don't communicate it in writing."

After hearing her explanation, Jiang Zheng's puzzled expression disappeared and he began to look a little worried.

If I'm not mistaken, judging by the current situation, I'm afraid we'll have to contact Tiexue, and then it will be a sacred tragedy and comedy.

Now, Jiang Zheng has traveled through time himself, and he doesn’t know whether he should change history. If he doesn’t, he will probably follow the plot of the game.

Well, it's overwhelming.

"Don't worry about that, Jiang Zheng. This is just a communication number. Tiexue and the others might want to come over for a visit."

Seeing Jiang Zheng’s bad expression, Veneto realized that he had affected others, so he patted him on the shoulder and told him not to worry about it, and that the matter would be handled.

"Well, since you've said that, Veneto, is there anything else that needs to be dealt with?"

Looking at Veneto's smile, Jiang Zheng stopped thinking about it and looked at VV in front of him. Since he didn't want to talk about this anymore, he would just continue working.

"Work, today's work has been completed, we don't have such a heavy workload"

"Because of you here, the working hours today have been reduced a lot. Thank you, Jiang Zheng."

"Well, how can I express my gratitude to you?"

Veneto crossed her arms over her chest, looking thoughtful, thinking about how to thank him. She was completely unaware that her actions exposed her white and tender cleavage, attracting Jiang Zheng's attention.

"How about we find some time and take a bath together?"

“…This isn’t good.”

Jiang Zheng averted his gaze and thought in some confusion, it must be fake, but why not tell Littorio about it?

However, Veneto did not give Jiang Zheng more time to think. Instead, he took the initiative to stretch out his hands, embraced his right hand, and pressed it against his plump and white chest. He stared at his face with his gradually flushed face and said little by little:

"There's nothing wrong with that, Jiang Zheng. You still need to be thanked, so you have to accept it."

"Also, the look you gave me just now was very rude."
