It seemed ironic, but Eugen slowly stepped forward and gave Lofan a flirtatious wink...
"Is there a seat for me at tonight's private banquet?"
"Please."
From the beginning, Luo Fan had no right to refuse, but it was nice that someone was willing to sit down and have a drink with him.
Especially Eugen, sharing a drink with her under the moon would surely be a unique experience...
Back at the bar, along with the five patrons who had left, the bright lights had also disappeared. With no one there to enjoy themselves, the lights had switched to energy-saving mode, leaving only a few small lights on. But rather than energy saving, Eugen preferred to call it "atmosphere."
In the dim light, the dark red wine swirls in the stemmed glass, reminiscent of a vampire's feast a thousand years ago. If you find the right angle and capture it casually, it could be a classic shot that would become famous worldwide.
“Commander, perhaps I should tell you,” Eugen said with a smile, taking a sip of red wine, “that when we arrived, a voice had already told us about the predicament you are facing, including the affairs of others…”
We know it perfectly well...
"You might as well not have told me at all; it makes me feel like I've been sabotaged."
Luo Fan raised an eyebrow slightly. It wasn't surprising. It was normal for the leader to inform the girls of the situation in advance, but it was still a bit awkward that the other party knew what you were thinking before you even apologized.
Eugen swirled her glass slightly and continued, "Does the Commander really want to present a refined image to us?"
"Not really," he said, pouring the wine again, though his hand wasn't as steady as before. "I still sincerely want to apologize, but unfortunately, the situation I just mentioned has happened again..."
You already guessed it, and you've already accepted it with a clear conscience. It's as if I can completely disregard your feelings.
"Do you want to apologize? Has someone expressed dissatisfaction with your actions, or have you really done something to let them down?"
“No one is dissatisfied, but that’s what makes me most uneasy. Everyone trusts and follows me unconditionally, which means that if I take a wrong step, everyone will have to pay the price for my choice.”
Are you afraid of the consequences?
Eugen brought her face closer and could feel the sweet scent lingering between her lips and teeth, as if chanting a spell to control people's hearts, making them itch with desire.
"Of course I'm scared."
Lofan glanced at her from time to time, but quickly looked away. Eugen's aggressiveness was making it difficult for Lofan to cope.
Are they afraid?
"Perhaps I'm not afraid..."
"Well, at least, I'm not afraid."
"..."
Luo Fan did not answer, and this time he finally turned his attention to Eugen.
Her smile hadn't faded, and her captivating eyes seemed to draw out all the dark thoughts in Luo Fan's heart. Coupled with her words intended to comfort him, there was an eerie contrast.
"What is there to be afraid of? We are betting our future on you, Commander, not to make you afraid. If you are afraid because of this, everyone's troubles may be even more serious than when we were ambushed from all sides."
"..."
Luo Fan did not answer, but the arch of his eyebrows widened even more.
"Thinking about my wedding dress, from the moment I put it on, I felt no fear of the future or the past, and perhaps it wasn't just the dress..."
Eugen raised her hand and placed it on Luo Fan's right hand, carefully feeling the warmth and energy evoked by the red wine. She gently stroked it up and down, as if kneading and dissecting flesh, making Luo Fan feel a tingling sensation.
“Look at that ring. More than the distant, unseen future, they, including me, are afraid that the ring might accidentally fall off and never be found again.”
Before anyone knew it, Eugen had moved closer to Lovan, as if she were about to kiss him. The bar counter was practically nonexistent; if either of them wanted, they could embrace immediately...
She murmured softly, smiling, "The Commander is afraid of losing you, and he's openly showing his worries. How adorable... Look at everyone, so nonchalant. Are they really without any concerns? Actually, everyone's just hiding it. Because everyone knows that as long as they're looking at you, these worries become meaningless. Just being by your side, lying in bed, sitting on the sofa, drinking a drink you made, and being on the same battlefield as you—that's a present moment that transcends the future. It's more real than a hazy future, more unforgettable than a painful past..."
When Luo Fan came to his senses again, he found Eugen lying on her side on the bar, her unruly left hand slithering downwards like a snake, exploring some forbidden madness...
"If this moment hasn't left a deep impression on you, then I will give you an unforgettable one..."
They drew closer and closer, their cheeks touching as if whispering, but only Luo Fan knew that this was the beginning of her offensive, and he was about to take a defensive stance.
"That voice told me that only now are we truly meeting in the real sense, but even so, I think you can understand..."
It's hard to tell whether this is Eugen's seductive tongue or the forked tongue of a venomous snake...
"In that area, I'm definitely more professional than anyone else, and my skills will be the most unforgettable for you. And now, we both know that you need help resolving your problems, and the only person who can help you is me..."
In an instant, Luo Fan's eyes flashed with a fierce light, like a giant lizard that had been waiting patiently beside a venomous snake, about to spew out an even more terrifying, skin-corroding poison from its glands...
608 Trick Me
P.S.: I recommend playing "Trick Me" by Aviators below. The following section contains the lyrics. As my favorite artist's song, it's the perfect music for the upcoming plot. I think music is more impactful than words alone at this point...
He kissed her forcefully, as if in the most powerful retaliation. She had already anticipated this and gladly accepted it, undressing herself as she saw his arrogant body as far as the eye could see...
......
Amidst the revelry of angels, you emerged from afar, stepping onto that stage.
Everywhere you look, there's a mesmerizing allure, and they're secretly plotting their own special skills, all within this true masquerade ball.
I have never seen an unsolved mystery like yours.
They stole my heart with that spell, and I've fallen deeply in their trap.
As an evil force burst forth from the earth, a daze descended...
Fearless dancer, veiled in darkness, captivated by your mystery.
No reply. I was bewitched. Your dance moves were enough to fool me.
Like a harbinger of the end, the devil himself, the cursed lover.
What could a lowly person want? Bringing him to that blazing blade, shrouded in a hazy mist...
I have never seen an unsolved mystery like yours.
They stole my heart with that spell, and I've fallen deeply in their trap.
As an evil force burst forth from the earth, a daze descended...
Fearless dancer, veiled in darkness, captivated by your mystery.
No reply. I was bewitched. Your dance moves were enough to fool me.
You sheltered me from the wind and rain, and I will uncover your secrets, causing all the covetous eyes in the background to flee.
Bind me with your thorns, let me witness that evil contempt, from stagnation to a hedonistic feast.
I don't think you can scare me in this place, so if you're not going to challenge me, quicken your pace.
Until the frenetic rhythm, come and embrace it.
This magic, as we let go, delivered the final blow...
Fearless dancer, veiled in darkness, captivated by your mystery.
No reply. I was bewitched. Your dance moves were enough to fool me.
Fearless dancer, veiled in darkness, captivated by your mystery.
No reply. I was bewitched. Your dance moves were enough to fool me.
Your dance moves are enough to fool me.
Your dance moves are enough to fool me...
......
Eugen's confidence in mentioning her skills was no fluke; at least after experiencing it firsthand, Luo Fan had to admit that she was truly exceptional...
Although they really wanted to just sleep it off afterwards, considering their current situation, they figured it was best to avoid it to prevent any embarrassing incidents the next day, even though Eugen probably wouldn't have any worries at all.
They might even put on their clothes with complete ease, displaying an attitude of "what you see is what you think," without any attempt to hide anything...
This is Paradis's company, and the leaders all have very distinct personalities. Lovan needs to maintain a certain image in front of them.
Eugen, held in his arms, appeared to be asleep, but judging from her hands still tightly wrapped around Lofan's neck, she was definitely still wide awake, even lingeringly licking Lofan's collarbone...
If it weren't for the special circumstances, Luo Fan would have loved to throw her onto the bed and have another three hundred rounds of sex, but now he had to consider the other people on the bed.
At least the girls were really asleep. Luo Fan was still holding Eugen when she got into bed. Fortunately, they didn't leave their spot in the middle of the bed this time, otherwise there would have been too many things to be careful about, and it would have been easy to wake everyone up if they weren't careful. Now that they were on the outer edge of the bed, all they had to do was put Eugen down.
Before Eugen could cause any more trouble, Lofan pulled the covers over his head, pulled Eugen's head close to his chest, and fell into a deep sleep.
Seemingly in retaliation for Eugen's scissor kick during their first meeting, Lovan used a bit more force this time...
......
P.S.: This chapter is a bit short, mainly to set up the flow for the later prison section. Otherwise, it would be difficult to connect the parts. After all, it feels strange to suddenly start talking about serious matters after that...
However, the ship girls' prison adventures and escape attempts are about to begin...
Plan 609
The next day, Kaga and Eikaze were the first to wake up. As two ship girls in Sakura Empire who were extremely skilled in killing, waking up early to get ready or to prepare food had become part of their daily routine.
However, out of caution, both of them immediately focused their attention on Luo Fan after getting out of bed.
You could tell from his bare shoulders that he wasn't wearing any clothes, and there was a white-haired head next to him...
"..."
Kaga's face turned several shades gray, and then he suddenly threw off the blanket.
Luo Fan was still wearing trousers, while Eugen was only wearing the thin veil over her dress. It was easy to imagine that she had launched a fierce attack on Luo Fan last night in her decisive battle outfit.
Jiang Feng remained calm, glancing at the scene before putting on the black coat Luo Fan had prepared and heading outside to find the kitchen to prepare a meal.
As the warmth in his body rapidly dissipated, Luo Fan gradually regained consciousness. However, the white-haired fox demon in front of him merely stared at him coldly, as if some small animal had stolen the fat meat prepared in its nest.
"Uh......"
Luo Fan was rambling incoherently; there was really no room for explanation in this situation, and Kaga didn't seem like the type to listen to explanations.
"I won't tell my sister, but Commander, I hope you can come up with a way to compensate me as soon as possible."
After saying just that, Kaga turned and left.
......
"Oh no, it's over."
Luo Fan covered his eyes, and the energy he had regained through sleep was completely depleted in an instant.
But Eugen, still chuckling in his arms, kissed Lovan's neck again, very affectionately.
However, neither of them noticed the confident smile that lingered on Kaga's lips as she left... Sometimes, what you owe is more expensive than what you actively ask for, and she knew this all too well.
After a brief interlude, everyone woke up one by one, got dressed, and prepared to have their first breakfast here. Not everyone noticed Eugen's little tricks from the night before, but Tirpitz caught a glimpse of the lip print on Lovan's neck and immediately understood everything.
Fortunately, Akagi and the others weren't here, otherwise an inevitable conflict would have broken out...
Seven bowls of steaming hot fried egg noodles were already laid out on the bar. Interestingly, the place meant for drinking had become a dining table for everyone. What should have been a place where atmosphere and gestures were carefully considered was now filled with warmth and comfort.
"Due to a lack of sufficient ingredients, all we could serve were these few bowls of noodles."
Kaga put down a few bottles of seasonings and then sat down at the table, while the others began to feast. After a night of strong liquor, all desires would temporarily pale in comparison to hunger.
“But it tastes great,” the company nodded repeatedly, perhaps trying to slurp up the noodles in the bowl: “After your stomach has been ravaged by alcohol, a bowl of noodles like this would be a great remedy.”
As if intentionally alluding to something, Essex seemed somewhat displeased: "I just... well, yes, it tastes great..."
The weak rebuttal that was on the tip of his tongue was ultimately swallowed down with the warm soup.
The first breakfast, though not the most luxurious, is certainly the most comforting.
"Now, let's get down to business, about the upcoming arrangements," Luo Fan said, taking advantage of the leisure time during breakfast. He decided to talk about his plans, and the girls quieted down and listened attentively.
“This is a very special operation, unlike any battle you’ve ever fought before. You won’t need to fire any cannons, use any shipboard defenses, or even sail at sea,” Luo Fan deliberately kept everyone in suspense, his expression very serious: “All you have to do is one thing…”
"Speak frankly, Commander." Essex sat up straight, as if he could dive into the mission at any moment.
"Well, what you need to do..." Luo Fan smiled, his fingers unconsciously tapping on the table...
......
......
"Everyone, hands up!"
"Put all the cash on the table, and you, lean against the wall!"
At 8 p.m., the ship girls rushed into a supermarket with pistols and began threatening people without saying a word. But to the passersby, it was a bit strange that they didn't even cover their faces when they were robbing people.
But given the life-threatening danger, the cashier dared not disobey and began sorting the cash in the register while secretly pressing the emergency alarm button under the table.
