My ship girl setup is off...

Page 132

It's really great to have someone you like to hang out with, especially someone you like. That's just amazing.

Unfortunately, this wonderful time only lasted for about six months, which is why Qianwei is now starting to look back on the past. Once people start to look back, they become lost in thought and begin to yearn for the beautiful past.

The same goes for ship girls.

"I see. But please don't be sad or dejected, Miss Vanguard. I feel the same way as you, but I believe the Commander will not leave us."

Seeing Vanguard looking listless, Plymouth kept smiling and started cheering her on. Although it had been a while and she hadn't seen the Commander for some time, Plymouth still had faith.

"Why do you say that?"

Avant-garde looked at Plymouth with a mixture of incomprehension and wise confusion on his face, because according to what was going to happen next, it was obvious that he would be occupied and sidelined by the marriage ships, and his days would consist of nothing more than eating, drinking, playing, having fun, and sleeping.

Most importantly, he was no longer in the place he usually frequented.

The thought of this made Avant-garde feel sad. Waaah, Lucy, I'm crying.

"Because... the Commander isn't that kind of person, and I believe the Commander remembers us well. Most importantly, we had a lot of fun during that time, didn't we?"

Knowing her doubts, Plymouth patiently explained to her that if she hadn't won, she should have tried to win instead of letting herself be troubled by it.

“Miss Plymouth, you are right, the master is not that kind of person.”

Just after Plymouth finished speaking, a white figure entered through the courtyard entrance and spoke to them. Looking up, they saw Belfast, the head maid, and Hermione and the others who looked somewhat disappointed, but soon their faces lit up with joy.

"Head Maid Belfast?"

"Befa?"

Upon seeing Belfast's arrival, Plymouth and Vanguard were about to stand up and say something, but Belfast stopped them by raising her hand. She then sat down next to them and took out an appointment letter from her ship's rigging.

"Congratulations to you two for being appointed as the master's personal guards. However, your roles are more about taking care of the master than protecting him."

"Although it might not be the best way to put it, I believe you two are both capable of making him even more enamored with our Royal Navy's ship girls."

Belfast looked at Plymouth and the vanguard with a gentle gaze, especially at Plymouth, who, after his guidance and the training of the maids, had learned quite a few skills. He wouldn't say she would succeed, but he certainly wouldn't.

"Yes~, I will definitely finish it~"

"me too"

Plymouth accepted Belfast's letter of appointment. Seeing his name and the commander's visa on it, a satisfied smile spread across Plymouth's face. Vanguard did the same. Just looking at the name on the letter of appointment, Vanguard now only wanted to drag the commander along to play games while he was being bothered.

To satisfy the long-awaited longing.

"However, Head Maid Belfast, what you just said sounds just like you were plotting against the Commander."

Plymouth put down the letter of appointment and spoke cheerfully. Belfast, however, didn't seem to mind the potentially troublesome words and simply explained them to her in a lighthearted manner.

"No, Miss Plymouth, it's only because I love my master that I want to pull him into our arms."

"That way we can serve him wholeheartedly, right?"

Chapter 353 Taking a Loophole

"Sister Amagi..."

In Sakura Empire, Amagi, who had already returned, was being looked at pitifully by his younger sister, Akagi. Seeing Akagi's dejected appearance with her fox ears drooping, Amagi didn't know what to say.

There's nothing we can do. Even a sure-win situation has turned into this. What else can we do?

Thinking back to what he had been thinking about, Amagi looked down at the folding fan in his hand. After a moment's thought, he decided not to fold it. It was a gift from Akagi, and it was too precious to give.

"Cough cough..."

"Sister Tiancheng! You wouldn't be...?"

When Akagi saw her sister suddenly cough, her heart jumped. She and Kaga rushed to her side, anxiously watching her, worried that something might happen to her.

"It's alright, Akagi. I just had a light cough. I didn't expect it to turn out like this. It's nothing."

Amagi gently stroked her chest to make herself feel better. After all, her chest was rather large, so she needed to be gently stroked to feel better. She didn't know why, but it had started to grow larger ever since the Commander touched it.

" oh oh..."

Seeing that Amagi was alright, Akagi calmed down and didn't dare to say a word. In front of her sisters, Akagi didn't dare to say or do anything.

"Alright, I understand your thoughts. I had already nominated several candidates, but because the Lord specifically named someone, it has to end here."

Amagi's nine tails stretched out, and after thinking for a moment, he...

Nothing important was said, but maybe after I said it, the Lord will change his mind?

Unfortunately, it's too late now.

"So, who did the commander choose?"

Kneeling beside her, Musashi gently stroked Shinano, showing her care for her sister even though she was just sleeping. However, upon hearing Amagi's report, Musashi's fox ears twitched, and she looked up at Amagi.

"Yes, it's Plymouth and Vanguard from the Royals, and Independence from the White Eagles. Independence was strongly proposed by the Enterprises, so the Lord gave Independence a chance."

Amagi answered without hesitation, then closed his eyes and thought. It was understandable that Plymouth and Vanguard were involved, but independence was strongly proposed by the Enterprise. However, it seemed that the Commander had not explored independence in depth.

Tiancheng simply took it as his lord's choice to give Duli a chance and save face for the company. Besides, the guards hadn't said they couldn't be replaced.

"Really? No problem, does the appointment letter indicate that it can be changed?"

"None at the moment...hehe~"

Amagi and Shinano exchanged a glance, clearly having gone in the same direction. Their words immediately made some of the more quick-thinking ship girls understand the feasibility of their ideas.

"The commander didn't specify that the guards couldn't be replaced, so that loophole is enough. Besides, we can go see him on other days."

After saying that, Musashi didn't say anything more. The commander must have had his reasons for not choosing the Sakura Empire's ship girls, or perhaps he had more personal reasons. But in any case, not being selected is not being selected, and it doesn't mean that this is the only path to take.

"Hehe~, I'll try it out carefully."

Amagi smiled gently. As the person in charge of the Sakura Empire fleet, he should strive to gain more benefits for Sakura Empire. As for what those benefits would be, that would depend on who they came from.

The legitimacy comes from the commander; as long as he leans towards Sakura Empire, even a slight tilt is enough, and Amagi believes he won't refuse, just as he said.

No one can resist beast-eared ship girls.

"By the way, Lord Amagi, who was the person you originally wanted to recommend? Since none of them were chosen, just mention it."

"I think Noshiro will be included in Lord Amagi's selection."

As they were about to leave without further ado, Aga waved her hand, a happy smile on her face, and her actions naturally attracted the attention of the other ship girls, who looked at Noshiro with curiosity.

"elder sister!"

Noshiro grabbed Aga's hand. Although Noshiro frowned to stop her, a slight smile appeared on her lips, which Aga noticed.

"Hehe, it's fine to say it. Since Ahe has said so, then I won't hide it from you either."

Amagi smiled, feeling very satisfied with the unity of the Sakura Empire. All the faces here were familiar to him, each one a comrade.

"Noshiro is indeed on my shortlist."

As soon as Amagi began speaking, Noshiro could feel the gazes from all around her. Feeling the envy in those eyes, Noshiro felt a little shy, but at the same time, she couldn't help but straighten her back and puff out her chest.

"Hmm~, as expected, my little Noshiro is quite capable. Sake, I told you so, didn't I?"

Seeing Noshiro's current state, Aga also looked at Sake, who squinted and nodded with a smile. Sake was naturally very cooperative about how to team up with her sister Aga to bully Noshiro.

"And Azuma and Ibuki."

Amagi glanced at the two people in the corner. Both Azuma and Ibuki were strong fighters and caring people. Azuma, who got the choice, smiled slightly and expressed her gratitude, while Ibuki blushed and didn't know what to say.

"Of course, there's Musashi too."

"Thank you, Amagi, but it's all in vain that I wasn't selected."

Musashi also expressed his gratitude, saying that if possible, it would be the last time, but for now, he would just listen and that the personnel had already been selected and could not be changed for the time being.

"Yes, we weren't chosen, but we can still visit the Lord to chat and have fun from time to time, which is fine too. Alright, that's all for now."

Amagi said cheerfully, "Since I wasn't selected, there will definitely be other opportunities. There's no rush. Now it's time for my commander to solve the problem."

After all, there are many, many ship girls who want to be with him.

...

"Oh! Congratulations, Independent! I never expected you to be chosen by the Commander. That's fantastic!"

Looking at the appointment letter in Independent's hand, Cleveland said happily that his little sister had finally gotten what she wanted. Independent nodded, her face beaming with a sweet smile, though she couldn't help but laugh despite trying to hold it in.

"That's great, Independent got selected. He'll have to protect the Commander well from now on. Hmm, I'm so envious. But he also needs to be careful not to get kicked off!"

Bremerton spoke with a hint of envy, then began to offer them a reminder, which puzzled Cleveland.

"Bremerton, what do you mean by this?"

"Didn't you notice? This appointment letter doesn't say that the frigate can't be replaced, understand?"

Bremerton gave the Independents some pointers, and after listening to what she said, Cleveland read it over and found that there was indeed no such treaty.

Independence

He frowned slightly; indeed, it was the same everywhere.

Chapter 354 Guess Who I Am

"Yixian, I'm back!"

"Oh! My husband, you're back?"

When Zheng Ri returned to Donghuang, he saw Yi Xian embroidering something with a piece of red cloth in the courtyard of the large family. So he secretly reached up from her back and hugged Yi Xian's soft body.

Yi Xian reacted as if she had been startled. She turned her head and saw her husband hugging her tightly like a child. For a moment, she thought that the little rascal had come up and she was going to teach him a lesson, but when she saw her husband, Yi Xian smiled.

"Yeah, I'm back. Well, not really back. I just went to see different places, ate some food, and enjoyed the different factions' food, drinks, and entertainment of my ship girls."

"Of course, it's mostly about getting to know them. After all, everyone except our Donghuang is our home, so they should take a good look around."

Zheng Ri spoke in the tone of a high-ranking leader, then picked up the teapot in the courtyard, preparing to pour himself a cup, but was stopped by a pair of delicate hands—it was Yi Xian.

"My lord, the tea has gone a little cold. Now that you're back, you should drink it hot."

"It was just an inspection; did they actually inspect their beds?"

With a smile on her face, Yi Xian released Zheng Ri's hand from the teapot and said something that left Zheng Ri speechless. Seeing Zheng Ri's stammering expression, Yi Xian chuckled and then picked up the teapot to brew some hot tea.

"Sister! It's my husband! My husband is back!!"

"I've already seen you, my lord. Why didn't you tell me you were back? I would have loved to give you a proper welcome."

As Zheng Ri watched Yi Xian's departing figure, a childish voice came from behind him. Before he could turn around, he felt something soft pressing against him, and then it spoke in a low, sarcastic tone.

"Ninghai, I'm back."

"Do you even remember coming back? How long has it been since you last came back?! Do you know how much we miss you?!"

Hearing Zheng Ri's voice, Ning Hai yelled at him in dissatisfaction, which stunned Zheng Ri. Ping Hai was also stunned, not knowing what his sister was doing. He just stood there motionless.

"Sorry, I was gone for a while..."

After Ning Hai got off him, Zheng Ri turned around and hugged her, holding her petite, middle school-aged body in his arms, and began to comfort her.

I think I've only been gone for about two months, but if you think about it that way, it's actually been a while.

"No, it's nothing, I just missed you a lot. By the way, what would you like to eat? I'll make it right now."

Ning Hai wiped away the tears from her eyes and turned her face away, not wanting him to see her appearance. However, Zheng Ri didn't care. Instead, he held her face with both hands, making Ning Hai look at him.

"Don't rush, didn't you say you missed me? If you do, then don't make anything yet. I'm not hungry right now. Come here and give me a hug."

He held her arm with one hand and wrapped his other arm around her legs, pulling her into his embrace. He looked at her as if she were a child. However, Ning Hai was clearly uncomfortable with his actions and started to get a little nervous. But after a while, she obediently lay in his arms.

Her little face was just a little red.

"Pinghai, come over here too."

Seeing Ning Hai lying down obediently, Zheng Ri smiled. Then, remembering that Ping Hai was still standing beside him, he beckoned her over.

After receiving his permission, Pinghai ran up to him and hugged him tightly, then gently rubbed his hand against his.

"Commander, Pinghai and my sister miss you very much."

"Okay, I understand, so I'm back now. And just like Ninghai, call me."

"Yes, I understand, my husband. Would you like some steamed buns? I still have some here."

With Pinghai hugging and rubbing against his arm, Zhengri naturally couldn't free his hands and had to let them stick to him. He politely declined her steamed bun, but after only hugging for a while, Yixian came over with a teapot. Seeing Pinghai and Ninghai's appearance, she couldn't help but tease them.

"Are you two going to stick to your husband like this?"

"Um, Sister Yixian, that's not how it is..."
