My ship girl setup is off...

Page 144

Yorktown spoke weakly, not looking at him, mimicking his words and applying them to him, finally unable to suppress a laugh, but...

"Then, Commander, please be gentle~"

Yorktown, with a shy expression, blinked at him.

"Sister, Commander, are you done yet...?"

Looking at the time, the company couldn't help but mutter, "Changing clothes shouldn't take this long, more than ten minutes have already passed."

So the company had no choice but to sit in a chair with its arms crossed and wait, gradually becoming more and more frustrated, and then slowly closing its eyes.

However, as soon as the company closed its eyes, it heard two familiar voices. It immediately opened its eyes, its face quickly flushing red. If it wasn't mistaken...

The company arrived at the door of the changing room, carefully grasped the lock, and then quietly peeked towards the door, pressing his ear against it. In less than a second, the company turned the lock and saw his sister leaning against the wall with her leg raised, while his lover helped her change clothes.

"Ah, Enterprise, you're here? Let's come together then, otherwise my sister won't be able to hold on."

Upon seeing the company already inside, Yorktown felt no shame. Instead, he reached out, grabbed the company's arm, and pulled her over to enjoy the pleasure in the locker room together.

...

"Commander, while I don't mind... I should at least be prepared for this kind of thing, and at least let you know in advance."

As he poured mineral water into his mouth, enjoying the pleasant sensation of pushing the sticky liquid down, Qiye glared at Zheng Ri. After opening his mouth, he realized he couldn't bear to say anything, so he could only persuade him to give him some time.

"Actually, it was Yorktown that brought you in..."

"commander!"

"Okay, okay, my corporate wife, I know I was wrong, mua~"

Seeing that the company was about to get angry, Zheng Ri pulled her into his arms, kissed her lips, and then watched her blank expression before shyly lowering her head.

"...Commander, if you keep doing this, something bad will happen."

The company bit her lip slightly, raised her head, and spoke to him in a very serious tone, because this was not a joke. If he continued to treat her like this, she would not be able to hold back her suppressed thoughts.

"Will something happen? Does the company want to harm me? You won't."

Zheng Ri looked at the serious-looking company and held her tightly in his arms. Company wouldn't do that. If she really didn't like it, she would refuse very clearly.

"That's not what I meant by 'that happened'... Anyway, Commander, just be careful. You should have told me beforehand."

Seeing his confidence and gentleness, Qiye still turned her face slightly away, not wanting him to see the expression on her face.

"Since my wife, who works for a company, has said so, I'll just tell her in advance from now on, my wife."

"Um..."

The company lowered its head slightly, letting the shadow of its hair block his view, but Zheng Ri didn't notice anything. Instead, he turned to look at Yorktown, seeing her satisfied expression.

"Honey, I think we might need to slow down a bit."

She gently took his arm, rested her head on his arm, and said shyly, "Now, with every step I take, I feel like I'm overflowing with love."

"why?"

Zheng Ri naturally knew why, but he just wanted to hear Yorktown's answer and see her blushing face as she acted coquettishly towards him.

"Commander~, if this continues, York..."

"City's going to get angry! If I get angry, that'll be a real problem!"

Chapter 383 Deep Affection Exchanged

Until 10 PM, Zheng Ri accompanied Enterprise and Yorktown to eat, drink, and have fun in this commercial street. They also encountered some little ship girls who had come out to play, such as the Stanley and Mosley sisters.

"Commander, here's some ice cream for you. I can't eat anymore, and I need to keep exercising, so I can't eat too much high-calorie food."

Smalley stood on tiptoe and held the half-eaten vanilla ice cream in her hand to his mouth, saying that she couldn't eat anymore, but Zheng Ri could clearly see that her eyes were still on the ice cream, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Smolly, eat if you want. Besides, you're all ship girls, why worry about this? It's fine to eat it occasionally."

Zheng Ri didn't take her ice cream, firstly because he didn't really want to eat it, and secondly because he was holding a cute little creature in his arms, Stanley, who could change his own mode.

"Beep beep, reconnaissance mode activated. One glance confirms the commander wants Smally to finish the meal. Over... sigh!"

As he spoke, Stanley's eyes seemed to change rapidly, dilating and contracting as if they were on their own. Then he blinked and began to mutter to himself, but before he could finish, Zheng Ri patted his butt.

"What are you saying? If you keep talking like that, I won't hold you anymore. You little rascal, are you trying to sell me?"

With his left hand supporting Stanley's waist, he reached out with his right hand to touch her little face, rubbing her cute little cheeks. However, the little cutie puffed up her cheeks and shook her head from side to side, refusing to let Zheng Ri pinch her cheeks.

"Hmm! Commander's bad behavior detected. Stanley's mood has dropped. He needs to be fed by the Commander to restore his mood!"

"How about I give you Smalley's ice cream? Would that be better?"

"No, Stanley's food is for the Commander, while Smalley needs the Commander's food. There's a conflict between the two, and I won't accept it!"

However, it was clear that the little guy being held by Zheng Ri did not accept his reason and started to make a fuss, leaving Zheng Ri looking helpless, and making Yorktown and Enterprise, who were following behind, laugh.

These little ones can be quite clingy. The obedient ones are fine, but if you're talking about the outgoing and energetic ones, you'll have to experience their boundless vitality.

After finally calming the two little cuties down, they skipped off to play elsewhere, leaving Zheng Ri and the others behind and giving Zheng Ri a sigh of relief.

It's not that I don't want to be with them, it's just that my time with the company in Yorktown hasn't ended yet.

“Commander, I know what you’re thinking, but we don’t mind. Besides, I think you should spend more time with the girls. There’s not much to do in the old port, and you weren’t there.”

"Now that you're in the port area, they're playing more freely, and their suppressed nature is gradually being unleashed."

Seeing that he was about to speak, Qigong took a step forward and spoke first, not wanting him to have bad thoughts about the younger sisters or think they were naughty. After all, Qigong knew that her lover actually disliked unruly children.

"Really? It's not that I think they're naughty or anything, it's just that I think this is my time with you guys. If they come, you know what will happen."

Zheng Ri stepped forward, took their hands, one on each side, and felt the softness of their little hands as they walked slowly towards the parking lot. He didn't mind at all; his little ship girls were all super cute and lovable. He loved them so much!

"That's good. Also... thank you for the gift, Commander."

He led her by the hand, and they walked away from the shopping street. The company looked at the three shopping bags she was carrying on her left, feeling their heavy weight, and a happy smile appeared on her face.

"It's alright, it doesn't cost much. In fact, I think I bought too little. It's only a few bags. I want to keep an eye on the company, which is now dressed in a beautiful dress... And why don't you put them in your ship equipment space? Isn't it tiring to carry them like this?"

Holding the company's hand, Zheng Ri slowly leaned close to her ear, speaking gently. The sound of his voice made the company's ears turn slightly pink, and she shook her head.

"Commander, if you want to see it, I'll try my best, even if it's a little embarrassing. As for being tired, that's not the case. Rather than putting it directly into the ship's equipment space, I'd rather just carry it around like this."

"Because of this, I am able to better feel the weight and importance that you have conveyed to me, Commander."

The company turned its face slightly to the side, lowered its head to avoid looking at him, its cheeks flushed, and said something that even it made itself feel shy. But the company still said it, because some words, once spoken, can make people's hearts flutter even more.

Just as the company had thought, he was stunned when he heard the company say such straightforward words. His gaze towards the company became surprised, followed by a feeling of excitement and emotion.

"Company, you're saying this..."

"Commander, are you tempted?"

"Yeah, a little. I feel like we've been married for ages... why are you suddenly being so direct?"

Facing the company's direct

On the contrary, Zheng Ri became shy, because most of the time when dealing with companies, it was the company that was shy and looked at him, but now the roles were reversed.

"Because I want the Commander to understand how I feel right now. It's a little embarrassing to say this, but I won't back down."

Seeing the commander's shyness, Enterprise chuckled and tightened her grip on his hand, not wanting to hurt him with too much force, but rather to hold him even more firmly.

"Yes, I understand how the company feels, although it's a little embarrassing to admit..."

Zheng Ri's face turned a little red, but it wasn't so obvious under the light. However, Yorktown, who was watching their interaction, smiled slightly and covered his mouth to chuckle.

After that, neither of them spoke. On the way back, they held each other's hands tightly, never letting go. Only Yorktown watched them, her face still bearing that gentle smile. Looking up at the rising moon, Yorktown felt that the moment was incredibly beautiful.

Even if I'm not the main character right now, that's enough. This is just the beginning.

Chapter 384 A Short Break

"Phew... We should be pretty much done with dealing with the ones in this area. The company should be sorted out by now. Feilong brought Canglong back, and Memphis is currently working with Sheffield. Everything should be fine, right?"

Helena lowered her hands, clad in black gloves and gray arm guards, and looked at the mass-produced humanoid siren, now unlocked. Gazing into its empty, soulless eyes, Helena murmured to herself, her crimson eyes watching as the siren slowly sank from the surface of the Red Sea-like waters into the depths.

Behind Helena, the wreckage of numerous mass-produced sirens, destroyed as if by a terrible natural disaster, lay scattered on the water's surface, the survivors aimlessly missing.

All of this was Helena's doing. However, it was clear that Helena, whose attention was drawn to the scattered wreckage behind her, was looking up at the white rings that appeared in the bright sky, one after another, and the vertical center line, as if a calamity was about to descend, to thoroughly cleanse this area of ​​the sea.

"An automatic purification system? Is this their backup plan? What pointless tricks, just like covering up what they've done, just like no one knows...SG"

Helena sighed softly, her eyes lowered, and then she raised her hand. A virtual projection screen appeared in front of her. With a gentle touch, an invisible ring of airflow rapidly emanated from the sea surface where Helena stood. In less than ten seconds, a crosshair-like center point appeared in the upper right corner of the projection screen, marked with a red dot and a string of characters.

After touching the red dot twice, Helena familiarly entered a string of code. Then, under her watchful eyes, a progress bar appeared, gradually accelerating. In less than ten seconds, the progress bar was 100% complete, and a message indicating successful deactivation appeared.

Then, the white ring that had gradually become clearer in the sky began to fade away, and the center line disappeared. The red sea gradually returned to its deep blue color, as if nothing had happened. Only the wreckage floating behind Helena proved that a battle had taken place not long ago.

However, Helena did not. On the contrary, standing on the dark water, even though it was pitch black all around her, listening to the sound of the waves, Helena felt a sense of familiarity and a little peace of mind. Even as a META, she would not choose to avoid her instincts as a ship. Rather, she liked this feeling.

After dealing with the test site, Helena went to the top of a lighthouse in an abandoned port and sat down where she could rest. Even ship girls and META need to give themselves some time to relax and let their tense nerves unwind.

This is Helena's own experience, and it's something that needs to be done until the end.

After turning on the lights at the top of the lighthouse, a penetrating and bright beam of light shone out in all directions. However, Helena did this not to point out names to others, but to let her companions know that she was there, even if it didn't really make a difference.

After the lights were turned on, Helena sat in the chair she had prepared, casually reclining on her side, one hand supporting her face, her right hand sliding in front of her to relax. However, her method of relaxation was...

"Because I want the Commander to understand how I feel right now. It's a little embarrassing to say this, but I won't back down."

A shy expression appeared on Zheng Ri's face, which made the company relax and chuckle. Their hands, which were clasped together, were gripped even tighter, as it was the company that had taken the initiative to hold them.

"Um,

I understand how the company feels, although it's a little embarrassing to admit..."

His face turned slightly red, which was still visible under the light, but Yorktown, watching their interaction, curled the corners of his mouth and covered his mouth to chuckle.

Looking at him in the video, Helena's face lit up with a genuine smile, her mind and body completely relaxed. However, the following scenes, all depicting them walking together, were skipped by Helena. With a tap of her finger, as if pulling a progress bar, everything in the video fast-forwarded until...

"Hehe~, now that things have come to this, what's there for the Commander to be shy about? Alright, hurry up and take it out obediently, or Enterprise and I won't be polite~"

Helena stopped scrolling the progress bar when she saw this scene, then zoomed in on her legs and looked at the scene with great interest.

However, Helena wasn't looking at what happened between him and his ship girl. Instead, she was observing his facial expressions, his reactions, his words, and his flushed face. She then deduced and guessed what he was thinking. This feeling of seeing right through him made Helena feel quite pleased.

"If you really want him, then why not just take him away from me?"

As Helena stared at the scene that had already been set up, a cold, emotionless voice came from behind her. Even without turning around, Helena knew who it was.

"Is it really appropriate to say such things to your master, Sheffield?"

He maintained the same tone, not looking at her, his gaze fixed on Zheng Ri on the screen. Seeing his uncontrollable expression, Helena's smile brightened. If she were given a small bucket of popcorn and a Coke, she would probably enjoy watching even more.

Sheffield, whose name was mentioned, opened his mouth but couldn't speak, unsure of what to say. After several such attempts, he finally chose to remain silent and offered her a piece of advice.

"The next operation will take place at his location."

Chapter 385 Existential Paradox

"I understand, Sheffield. Thank you for bringing the information to my ears. Would you like to have a seat? It's very clean; I clean it regularly."

After hearing the report from Sheffield, Helena paused the screen, thought for a few seconds, and then decisively turned it off. She then leaned on the bench, changed from a reclining position to a sitting position, raised her hand, and invited her to sit down next to her.

Sheffield, who had been invited, stood still, unsure whether to sit down or refuse. Helena didn't mind; she kept smiling and her hand raised, insisting on inviting her to sit down.

After a two-minute standoff, Sheffield finally moved, choosing to raise his hand to hold Helena's hand, then release it, and then sit down next to her, though not close enough.

"What do you mean, 'He is my master'?"

"Well... how should I put it? In the original timeline, you would be his ship girl, but right now you don't have a master, meaning he hasn't come to your side. But here, he has come to your side."

"No, to be precise, it was you who came to his side."

Helena understood Sheffield's meaning, smiled slightly, and then dragged the progress bar on the screen forward. Under her puzzled gaze, Helena dragged the progress bar to a certain point in time.

Upon seeing the ship girl in the picture who was exactly the same as herself, Sheffield's calm face was filled with shock and disbelief. This reaction made Helena smile with pleasure.

"It's really...unbelievable..."

"Unbelievable, right? I thought so at first too, but I've compared everything, I've compared all the ship girls around him one by one, and I'm absolutely certain that the ship girls around him are the ones who wouldn't exist without him."

"This is unacceptable..."

"Don't rush to deny it, Sheffield. Are you really sure that the Sheffield he's holding isn't you?"

Helena's face still wore that same smile, but her crimson eyes were filled with a look of pure joy, if one were to notice.

At the same time, Helena's gaze also fell on Sheffield, who was wearing a maid outfit that could not be called a maid outfit. The ordinary long skirt had become a fixed shape due to the long battle, but the royal pattern had not changed.

The only part that covered her inner parts was the apron-like part, revealing a pair of round legs clad in white stockings. However, Helena was quite certain that if she made any more exaggerated movements, she could see even more of her inner parts.

Two belts were tied at the waist to prevent the half-length skirt and apron from sagging. There was nothing to cover her chest and back except for a blouse that resembled an extended rose, concealing her alluring figure. But upon closer inspection…
