Chapter 210: Liking is liking, nothing else (edited)

"If you put it that way... I won't be able to relax completely either."

Zheng Ri always felt that the company was acting strangely, especially the way it looked at him. It was like it was looking at a child, unlike the last time it looked at him with a strong sense of possessiveness. It was very obedient.

"It's alright. Besides, people tend to loosen up after a few drinks. St. Louis, you're here. Remember that bottle of liquor you had? Take it out."

The company released his hand, reached out to touch his face, and slowly moved to the back of his head, touching his somewhat long, tousled hair. Then it spoke to St. Louis, who had come up behind it.

"Oh? That bottle of wine is very expensive!"

St. Louis, standing next to the company, complained, knowing that the bottle of wine he had bought was very expensive. Nevertheless, St. Louis took it out of his ship's equipment and also produced a flute-shaped champagne glass.

"You won't even give it to the Commander?"

The company joked with a smile, knowing that the woman in front of them was one of the richest in the port area, easily second to none, except perhaps for the Queen, since everything in the royal family belonged to her.

"I'd gladly give it to the Commander, but here, Commander, why don't you try some? It's quite expensive, you know, so drink it slowly."

St. Louis chuckled and easily twisted open the bottle of Amalfi Supreme Lemon Liqueur that he had bought at great expense. A sweet and refreshing aroma wafted out, and Zheng Ri immediately thought it smelled wonderful.

"Aunt Saint, I remember this bottle of wine was very expensive, wasn't it?"

As Zheng Ri watched St. Louis bend down, revealing his fair and tender chest, and smiling as he poured himself a drink, Zheng Ri couldn't help but think of this incident when he saw the flute-shaped glass placed in front of him.

It seems to be... several hundred W? No, can you drink this?

"Hehe~, Commander, alcohol is just something whose value is hyped up. The most important thing is that it's meant to be drunk. Otherwise, buying it as an exhibit is just adding a nice label to your collection."

St. Louis spoke casually, his eyes filled with love and joy as he looked at him. Although the wine was expensive, compared to the person he loved most, it was still incredibly precious.

"...Thank you, Aunt Saint."

Zheng Ri held the small glass of wine in front of him with some caution. That tiny bit of wine was worth several million, but since it had already been poured out, there was no way to put it back in. Zheng Ri brought the glass to his lips, preparing to drink it slowly.

"Wait, Commander, I want a drink too!"

Seeing that Zheng Ri was about to drink, the company also wanted to try the expensive liquor that St. Louis had bought, and pointed to its lips, making it clear that it wanted to exchange drinks.

Seeing the company's expression, Zheng Ri smiled slightly, but instead of kissing or offering water, he took a sip himself and began to savor the taste. He had to admit that it was indeed a wine with many W's; just the taste was pleasant and refreshing. The company also took the remaining half of the wine and drank it down.

After finishing their drinks, Enterprise and Masahiro exchanged glances and then kissed, prompting some of the ship girls present to cheer and create a lively atmosphere. St. Louis, who was pouring the drinks, looked on with envy.

"Commander, is it good?"

St. Louis asked, after all, he had never drunk it himself. He wouldn't have taken it out if it wasn't said to be for the commander; it was too expensive.

"Mmm, it's delicious. As expected of Aunt Saint's taste, it's very high-end. But I don't really have any taste; I just think it tastes good."

"Commander, shall we try again?"

After the kiss, the woman asked him how he felt, and then looked at him with a hint of desire in her eyes, as if she wanted to take him right there and then.

"To be honest, it feels great, but if we keep going like this, St. Louis will cry."

Zheng Ri smiled as he savored the feeling from just now, then turned to look at St. Louis. Seeing the slight disappointment on her face, he couldn't help but smile.

"That's fine then, Commander. I still have some things to do. Let these sisters keep you company from now on~"

After saying that, the company kissed his lips lightly again, but seeing the lingering affection in his eyes, the company couldn't help but kiss him again.

"What could possibly be going on at this hour? Can't you just stay with me?"

Seeing that the company wanted to leave, Zheng Ri became somewhat dissatisfied. He had come all the way to Baiying, and instead of having a proper chat with his wife about things they liked, she was going to work? This wouldn't do.

"...Alright, since you've put it that way, then...Independence, didn't you have something you wanted to say to the Commander? Come here."

Upon hearing his request, the company paused for a moment, then a happy smile appeared on its face. Then, as if remembering something, it looked at the independent woman who had been hesitating and called her name.

"Ah... Senior Enterprise... Commander, there's something I've wanted to tell you for a long time."

Hearing the company call his name, Dudu, who had been hesitant, paused for a moment, then made up his mind and strode quickly to Zheng Ri. He took a deep breath, stared straight at Zheng Ri, and had something he had wanted to say to him for a long time.

"Hmm, you're independent, right? Do you have any complaints you'd like to tell me?"

Looking at the somewhat imposing Duli, Zheng Ri smiled and nodded. Perhaps Duli had some complaints to tell him. After all, he had only modified Duli and then discarded it. Except for the Great World, it was just a storage room.

And judging from her personality, she would definitely tell me about it.

"Complaints? How could that be... Commander, what I want to tell you is that although I look a lot like Noshiro from Sakura Empire, I am not her, and what I want to say is that I have liked you for a long time."

Dudu paused for a moment. Did the commander think he was there to ask for advice? Thinking of this, Dudu expressed his thoughts to Zheng Ri and revealed his true feelings. However, after speaking, a slight blush appeared on his face.

"Ah... Independence, now you say that..."

Seeing the independent look after the confession, Zheng Ri didn't know what to say. Actually, his impression of this ship girl was that even though the retrofit skin was a bit cheesy, the Great World buff was quite useful, which was why he trained her. And most importantly, he didn't have many rings left.

"It's okay, Commander, I just like you, no matter what, I just like you!"

After saying that, he glanced at Eldridge, who was nestled in the commander's arms, and handed the little cutie to Essex. Then he sat on his lap and kissed him.

Chapter 211 Expressing Love

Soft red lips pressed against mine, conveying a youthful, innocent taste. Logically, one should enjoy the pleasure from the ship on a normal day.

The mother's beauty and grace should be what he's thinking, but that's not what Zheng Ri is thinking right now. He's never kissed anyone before; he just pressed his lips against hers without any skill whatsoever.

And he even bumped into something.

Zheng Ri had no choice but to pull himself away from Duli. However, Duli thought that the commander wanted to reject him, so he used a little force on the hand that was holding his face to prevent the commander from breaking free.

"Commander...don't you like me?"

She tried to push him away again and again, and Duli finally let go of his hand. Looking at him with her red eyes, she felt disappointed and speechless. She didn't understand. She liked him. Was it because she wasn't proactive enough that she was disliked?

"No, it's not that I don't like you, it's just that you pressed your lips against mine, and my lips bumped against my teeth, it hurts."

After a brief separation from Duli, Zhengri touched his mouth and said through gritted teeth. When Duli heard him say this, he looked embarrassed.

"Besides, where did you get the idea that I don't like you? I bought you this outfit. If I didn't like it, would I have bought it for you? And look, isn't this school uniform you're wearing so pretty and alluring?"

After easing the pain in his mouth, Zheng Ri looked at Du Li, whose face was flushed, and touched her black stockings with both hands, saying with a grin that made Du Li's face even redder. She placed her hands on his shoulders without saying a word.

"What? You're not going to say anything? Also, I don't see you as Noshiro. Although you look alike, Noshiro is Noshiro, and you are independent. You two are different people. I'm curious why you would have such an idea."

Stroking the delicate black stockings covering Lidu's thighs and feeling their comfortable flesh, Zheng Ri asked curiously. Despite this, the more he touched her, the more her face turned red, and even her breathing became slightly heavier. But she still answered honestly.

"Because... Commander, you've never really looked at me properly before... In comparison, Noshiro, who looks remarkably similar to me, has shone brightly, which is why I think this way."

"But, ever since you led everyone to the Great World to fight against the Arbitration Authority and the Sirens, you took me in for some modifications. The way you looked at me back then was amazing. After that, as a light aircraft carrier, I was able to provide strong combat support, so I couldn't help but fall in love with you."

Listening to Duli's self-narration, Zheng Ri stopped stroking her black stockings, then thought back on her words and felt embarrassed.

To be honest, I only leveled up her because I thought her independent artwork was decent and she had a bodysuit with black stockings after the remodel. Her open world was also alright. Otherwise, I probably would have just maxed out her affection like other ships and put her aside.

"Oh, I see. Thank you for your hard work, Independent."

"No, it doesn't count as hard work or anything like that. But Commander, I like you. You know what to do, right?"

The hands placed on Zheng Ri's shoulders tightened slightly, and the independent Akame stared intently at him. Since things had already been said to this extent, there was no need to say more about what to do next.

"Uh, now?"

Zheng Ri tentatively asked her, "It's no problem to make a vow and ask for a ring. It's also no problem to take things further with the ship girl. But after giving her the ring, it's time to spend the night together. But things aren't over yet."

"Hmm... Commander"

Dudu nodded seriously. He had done so much, contributed so much to the fleet, and now he was expressing his feelings. If the commander didn't refuse, the ring was a must.

"Since you've put it that way, although it's very informal, it's still independent. Would you be willing to become my marriage vessel?"

Upon learning of Independent's determination, Zheng Ri took out a small black box from her pocket and opened it in front of Independent. A vow ring emitting a faint light was revealed, immediately attracting the attention of the other ship girls.

Even Saratoga and Eldridge, who were standing nearby, had their eyes light up, although Eldridge expressed it by turning the ahoge on his head into an exclamation mark.

"Yes, Commander, from the moment you built me, I knew I had chosen the crossroads of my destiny, and I would walk that path with unwavering resolve. Now, you have completely become my home."

Looking at the vow ring before her, Duli's eyes were filled with happiness and contentment as she watched him take her hand and slip the vow ring onto the ring finger of her right hand.

Looking at the vow ring that seemed to be connected to her heart, Duli hugged him again and kissed him once more. This time, the kiss was gentle and comfortable, and she could even taste the sweetness of love from those lips.

Seeing this, Enterprise took the lead in applauding, and the other ship girls who had come to their senses also offered their blessings to the newlyweds. Essex, who was to the left of Zheng Ri, did the same, but there was a hint of disappointment in her eyes. She had let Enterprise, her senior, go first.

After the kiss ended, Zheng Ri looked at Du Li, who was beaming with happiness, and couldn't help but smile as well. Now that the vow ring had been given, what followed was...

"Commander, where do you want to go? This isn't over yet."

Seeing that Zheng Ri wanted to get up and leave, the company stopped him, saying that they had said they were going to have a good time today, so they couldn't leave so early.

"not yet

"The end? Company, what do you mean by this?"

Zheng Ri was holding Du Li's waist with both hands, and was about to pick her up in a princess carry when he heard Enterprise's words, which reminded him of... the night when all the ship girls came.

"Yes, Commander, tonight isn't actually just our night."

Duli understood what the company meant. Her face flushed, and she untied her striped tie, revealing her fair and delicate collarbone, and below that, a shallow cleavage was visible.

But its advantage lies in its ability to be mastered with one hand, perfectly adapting to what it means to hold a ball in one hand during hand movements.

"So tonight..."

"Commander, as you know, here at White Eagle, the main thing is to have fun. And tonight isn't just your and Independence's home turf, it's our home turf!"

Seeing his expression, the company smiled happily, and this sentence also made Duli take the initiative to put Zheng Ri's head into his chest.

Chapter 212 Big Fish Eats Little Fish

"Ugh! Wait! It's pointing to... "

Essex gently pulled away from his kiss, but just as she was about to say something, Jung-il kissed her lips again.

With her hands on his arms, Essex, unwilling to cause him pain but also wanting to continue enjoying the kiss, could only endure the kiss from the very daytime, though she also felt a slight urge to dodge it.

"Oh! They kissed! They kissed! As expected of Essex, they easily did what we couldn't. I'm a little envious. By the way, Calion, do you think the Commander would do the same to us if he got drunk?"

Watching his sister Essex enjoy the commander's kiss, Fearless said enviously, while also noticing that the commander had been drinking, and couldn't help but start fantasizing.

"I don't know, maybe?"

Looking at Essex, who had already actively entangled herself with the commander, Ticonderoga said with a smile, "You know, it hasn't even started yet."

"Essex, what were you about to say?"

After their lips parted, Zheng Ri looked at Essex's blushing face and asked with some concern, "If Essex had refused, things wouldn't have turned out this way, would they?"

"...I have nothing more to say, Commander, please continue..."

Savoring the lingering sweetness in her mouth, Essex lowered her head slightly and said with a flushed face, "There's no need to say anything now. But the thought of kissing the Commander in front of my senior from the company makes me wonder if that counts as being a 'cuckold'?"

Thinking of this, Essex quickly shook his head. Why should he think like this when his senior colleagues at the company have been so good to him?

"It's not enough for you guys to ask me; I need to ask you guys, otherwise it's not fun."

Looking at Essex, who was now dressed as a little girl, Zheng Ri noticed a loophole: if it's a game of truth or dare, then you can't make yourself suffer.

"Commander, who would you like to ask? What would you like to ask? I'll answer every question."

Having already pulled her shirt open, Duli used her snowball to lift his chin, then stroked his stray hair and asked, her face flushed with embarrassment, but judging from her crimson eyes, she was quite satisfied with the current situation.

It's understandable to feel embarrassed to be shirtless in front of so many women.

"Hmm, I really don't know what to ask right now, so how about asking about your... measurements?"

After thinking for a moment, Zheng Ri realized there wasn't anything in particular he wanted to ask, so he decided to ask something that sounded a bit private to them.

"74, 59, 83, Commander, if you want to know these numbers, we can tell you. But since I've already answered your question, shouldn't you, Commander?"

Touching his face with both hands, and watching his cheeks begin to flush slightly, Independent knew that the Commander was starting to feel a little tipsy.

"Fine, fine, you really want me to get drunk? Louis, come on!"

Having already guessed that Zheng Ri was being independent and thoughtful, he shook the glass in his hand. Saint Louis, having received the instruction, smiled and poured him another glass, this time full.

"Alright, Commander, I'm almost done. Now let Essex and the others keep you company. Remember to have a lot of fun and experience the openness of Eagle Union."

Seeing Zheng Ri's flushed face, the company knew it was time, so it kissed him and told him to play, play however he wanted, play freely, and have fun.

"The company... alright, then go ahead."

Seeing that the company had made up its mind, Zheng Ri thought for a moment and decided not to stop her. Perhaps the company really did have something that needed to be dealt with? Thinking of this, Zheng Ri kissed her cheek in return.

"Well, that's good. Alright, my old buddy, you're coming with me now."

Having received his permission, the company nodded, then gently patted Saratoga, who was sitting on its lap and rubbing her legs against it, signaling her to come with it.
