"Hmm, the taste isn't as good as the bento I brought..."

Jean Bart took a bite and frowned.

“Just eat whatever you can find, being so picky…” Richelieu was genuinely annoyed. “We should be grateful that we have anything to eat at all…”

Jean Bart, feeling somewhat guilty, fell silent.

After all, I had agreed to bring my own supplies, and I ended up bringing everything. But when I was leaving, I changed the storage box and took the empty one with me, leaving the box containing the food at home.

Those present, the Purifiers and Observers, certainly wouldn't cook.

Jean Bart... only knows how to make instant noodles; everything else is... well, let's just say he's not good at it.

I only know a little bit about cooking, and although the taste isn't great, it's edible.

"Sigh, there are still three days before we can return..." Richelieu didn't want to spend the rest of the time eating fish.

“Observer, can you find out how far we are from the nearest continent?” Richelieu asked.

The observer used the Sirens' shared field of vision to take a look, and then replied, "It's about ten kilometers to the territory of the Cherry Blossom Empire."

“Okay, let’s take a break. We’ll go to Sakura Empire to buy groceries and other supplies later,” Richelieu decided. “Did you bring your wallet?”

Jean Bart retorted confidently, "I brought it, but as the older sister, shouldn't you spend money on it?"

Richelieu: "..."

No, you caused all this trouble, and now I have to spend money to clean up your mess?

Oh well, what can I do? She's my sister.

This way of getting along with myself was something I would never have dared to imagine before; at least it's much better than facing myself with a bitter and resentful demeanor.

Let it be a little bearish.

Richelieu took a deep breath: "Okay, I'll pay."

"Oh, is there any fish left? I'm still not full."

"That's all. We'll go to town to buy something to eat later... Observer, I'll leave the mimicry to you then."

"Don't worry, it's perfectly safe."

"Rome, what are you thinking?"

"Me? I'm easy to do. I just want to go out to eat and shop with the Commander."

In the dance studio of the Sardinian Empire, Rome sat sideways in front of a mirror, stretching after his daily training.

Wearing a light blue dance outfit, her straight and slender legs were wrapped in thin white stockings, making her look elegant and charming.

Giuseppe, dressed in a black dance outfit and white stockings, leaned against the mirror, looking at Rome.

"Also, don't lean against the mirror. We've put it away so many times, it'll be a hassle to clean it later, and it'll be a problem if you accidentally break it."

Rome glanced at Giuseppe and said casually.

"Are you really not in a hurry at all? It's a date with the Commander, what a great opportunity! So many people in the port are eagerly hoping to catch up, but you seem so indifferent?"

Giuseppe's tone was tinged with disappointment.

"How about... I give you the invitation to this date? That way, maybe you can seize the opportunity to become a marriage ship."

Rome, with his heterochromatic eyes, saw through everything and said with a hint of mockery.

"I... I think I'll pass... I just don't feel ready..."

Giuseppe immediately became stammering, his eyes darting left and right.

"Hehe..." Rome chuckled softly, "Don't worry, it's not that I think it matters, it's just that when it comes to relationships, I still prefer to let things take their natural course."

Rome stood up and continued, "Moreover, as Rome, as the flagship of the Sardinian Empire, I still have many things to do, such as restoring Rome's glory?"

Well, but actually Rome felt that capturing the commander was equivalent to half of Rome's revival.

After all, for Rome right now, capturing the commander is the top priority. If they can restore Rome to its former glory, that would be even better. If they can't... well, so be it.

Rome has already started to falter.

There's nothing we can do. In the entire Sardinian Empire, apart from the little ones, the only ones who are truly capable and get things done are myself, Paula, and Duke Abruzzi.

We can't count on anyone else; we'll be grateful if they don't hold us back.

"Well, let's just let things take their course." After pondering for a while, Rome, who was becoming increasingly indifferent, finally made a decision.

Upon hearing this, Giuseppe sighed and stopped trying to persuade him.

"Please tell me the real way to date, Professor Eugen!"

Z23 sat earnestly in front of Prince Eugen, with an open notebook and a ballpoint pen on the small table in front of him.

"...Who sent you to ask me this? Don't they all say I'm unreliable?"

Prince Eugen casually sat down at Z23's table and hooked Z23's chin with his index finger.

A little embarrassed by Prinz Eugen's actions, Z23 whispered, "That's right, I see that you're a married ship, Prinz Eugen, and you and the Commander often chat, so..."

As a senior member of the married ship family, Prinz Eugen has many things that Z23 can learn from, which is why she sought his advice.

"Hmm, what do you want to learn?" Prince Eugen was happy to help his junior, Z23, with his problems.

"That's right, Javelin said I'm not feminine enough, so I want to learn..."

Z23 said somewhat awkwardly.

"A touch of womanly charm, indeed. Nimi-chan has reached this age." Prince Eugen smiled with satisfaction.

"Come with me to my room. You don't need to take notes. I'll teach you by example what femininity is."

Prince Eugen deliberately used rather ambiguous language to say this.

Although Z23 knew Prinz Eugen's temperament, she still blushed at his words. However, for the sake of her date with the Commander later, Z23 gritted her teeth and followed him.

Upon arriving at Prince Eugen's room, Z23 looked around with some curiosity.

"Stop looking, that's Hipper's wardrobe... First, I'm going to show you Hipper's clothes as a negative example."

Prince Eugen said.

Z23 hesitated for a moment: "Isn't this inappropriate? After all, this is done without anyone's permission..."

"Anyway, I'm her sister ship, so it's fine. Besides, Hipper is on a mission and won't be coming back. Once the training is over, who knows what will happen if we put her back?"

Prince Eugen casually opened Hipper's wardrobe and rummaged through it.

"Ah, I found it..."

Prince Eugen waved to Z23: "Look, your figure is much better than Hipper's, so... when choosing underwear, you definitely can't be like Hipper."

"Why did it have to be like this from the beginning?!" Z23 complained loudly, blushing.

“Because femininity comes from within.” Prince Eugen laughed heartily.

"Okay...please continue..."

"Hipper's bear design is just like that of a primary school student. Imagine you're spending a romantic night with the Commander, and then the Commander gently removes your coat and sees... a little bear."

“That would be absolutely devastating to the atmosphere,” Prince Eugen instructed earnestly.

Although Z23 is shy, when I think about it this way, it seems to be true.

"So, if you know how to choose, that will be the decisive factor."

Z23 said respectfully, "Please teach me, Eugen."

"Next, would you like to see my sister's style? My sister's style can always increase the commander's attack speed and critical hit rate."

Without saying a word, Prince Eugen brought Z23 to his wardrobe.

Z23's rationality told her that she couldn't open it; it was Pandora's box. Once opened, there was no turning back!

However, curiosity and a thirst for knowledge led him to reach uncontrollably into Prince Eugen's wardrobe.

Open it, open it.

It sounded like the devil's whisper, or the mesmerizing allure of a mermaid.

Once Z23 was opened, Prinz Eugen immediately began his explanation…

During that class, Z23 felt that he had grown a lot in that instant.

In the northernmost sea, even the sunlight seems to be swallowed up by dark clouds. The wind is high and the waves are rough. If it weren't for the ship girls, the yacht would likely be toyed with by the raging waves, just like the fallen leaves in Langzhong.

The two battleships from the Northern Union stood solemnly before a slightly distorted space, feeling as if their skin was being pierced by that aura.

"This should be it, right?" Bellaros exhaled, and a wisp of white mist dissipated into the air.

“I think I’ve pretty much confirmed it… I have a feeling that beyond this series of spaces lies another world…” Rossia said.

"Now that it's confirmed... Mercury Memorial, Rossia, on alert, Kiev, head to a place with no signal interference immediately and call for reinforcements."

Bellaros gave the orders.

"understand!"

Chapter 655

Miss Ghost stayed up all night last night.

There was no way around it; a new game had been released, and as a hardcore gamer, Miss Ghost Long Island naturally got her hands on some discs as soon as possible.

The excitement and anticipation I felt when I received the disc were incredible.

And so, after a night of intense gaming, Miss Ghost successfully completed the game in one night, by which time it was already dawn.

She planned to go out for breakfast and then come back to sleep.

Normally, I would have friends bring me food, and after staying up all night, food would be delivered to my door, and then I could just fall asleep – that would be a wonderful thing.

But there was no other way; Ayanami, the friend who brought me lunch every day, was out on a mission, so I had to come by myself.

But as soon as the door was opened, the noisy sounds from outside flooded into the soundproofed room.

A group of ship girls were running back and forth in the corridor, creating quite a lively scene.

Everyone had a hurried expression on their face, and judging from the sortie outfits worn by some of the ship girls, they were probably about to go on a mission.

But isn't that a bit too exaggerated?

Long Island leaned against the doorframe, silently observing the combat suits of all the Essex-class personnel.

Is this some major operation? Why are so many aircraft carriers needed?

Or did I just stay up all night? Hmm, looks like I can't do that again next time.

We need to pull the curtains down.

"Long Island? What are you still doing here? The commander has notified everyone to be in position. Didn't you receive the notification? Change your clothes, hurry up."

Maryland, who was passing by, was also fully armed, with her hair tied in a ponytail, and looked at Long Island, who was still wearing pajamas, with surprise.

Is there...some major operation?

Long Island asked hesitantly.

Maryland said, "We've discovered a rift in the world. The commander wants us all to be ready at any moment. You'd better wash your face."

After saying that, he left directly.

Long Island was stunned for a moment, then returned to her room with a pained expression to wash up and change clothes.

Oh no, I'm not getting any sleep. I can only hope to catch up on some sleep while on the road.

…………

At the dock, almost all the major aircraft carriers were in place, and a considerable number of escort ships were also deployed.

The usually quiet dock was now teeming with people.

"Damn it, why won't they let me out..."
