My ship girl setup is off...

Page 6

But looking at Plymouth's pitiful, weak, innocent, and obedient appearance, she didn't seem like the type to manipulate people at all.

Besides, how could Plymouth possibly manipulate people?

Jeongil chose to give up thinking.

Chapter 12 begins the process of cultivating a useless person.

"How are you feeling, Commander?"

"I feel like it needs a little adjustment, um... this should be fine."

Zheng Ri adjusted his body. Although Plymouth was his ship girl, the actual time they spent together was only about half a day, so they didn't get too close. The only thought he had to say was...

Very soft.

In my mind, the thickness of my thighs should be higher than the pillow. If it's too high, I'll feel uncomfortable when I sleep. But after actually lying down, I realized I had overlooked something.

That is, the thighs will change with the body. Plymouth's legs look round and straight, but as the posture changes, sitting on the sofa, they will become slightly flattened and rounded, and there is a little bit of flesh. But in actual experience, they are really similar to ordinary pillows, softer, more ergonomic, and you can even smell a faint fragrance.

My assessment is that I really like it, and I'll definitely buy again next time.

And it must be said that Plymouth is really big; you can't even see the face of the building.

"Yes, I hope my lap pillow will please the Commander. Would you like me to sing some songs to lull you to sleep?"

Plymouth gently stroked the commander's face, wanting to look down at him, but found that her white, soft, and slightly large breasts were not visible, so she had to give up. However, she remembered that she could also provide sleep-inducing services for the commander, so she decided to give it a try.

"Plymouth, you actually know this?" Masaharu was a little shocked. What exactly did his ship girl know? Where did she learn to lull someone to sleep? How do you know so much?

"Yes, I learned this from Hermione. Hermione told me that the Commander would really like it, so I learned it."

"...No need for lullabies, I won't be able to sleep if I listen to music."

She verbally refused Plymouth, but in her heart she was thinking, "Hermione, you're wicked!" while simultaneously praising her for doing a good job.

They've truly mastered the art of first suppressing and then elevating.

"It's alright, Commander. I'll hum it softly and definitely won't disturb you."

"Row"

"Huh huh huh~"

"Commander, let me massage your thighs. You've walked quite a bit today, let me help you relax."

Seeing that Plymouth was perfectly controlling Zheng Ri, Vanguard couldn't stand it anymore. She couldn't let her steal the spotlight, so she automatically squatted down and started kneading and caressing Zheng Ri's thighs. Although she hadn't learned many special skills from the head maid like Plymouth, Vanguard was still a ship girl with a maid outfit and had undergone systematic training.

"...Then I'll leave it to you, Avant-garde."

Zheng Ri really wanted to say that he hadn't walked that far, but he didn't care anymore. He couldn't just keep rejecting the kindness of his ship girl. There weren't many people in this world who would be so good to him without considering their own interests.

Moreover, experiencing such avant-garde techniques, I must say, is quite comfortable; they really have some skill.

With this thought in mind, Zheng Ri closed his eyes, listened to Plymouth's soft humming, smelled her fragrance, and felt the avant-garde massage, slowly calming his thoughts and gradually immersing himself in the moment.

Because the ship girl was created at noon, and there was a close private exchange with the vanguard about some precautions and the ship girl's warm treatment, the emotional reaction was excessive. Once things calmed down...

Hou Zhengri quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Sensing the stable frequency transmitted through the mental network, Plymouth and Vanguard gradually stopped their actions. Plymouth took out two small earplugs from her ship's equipment and handed them to Vanguard. Vanguard took the earplugs with a slight puzzlement, glanced at Plymouth, and gently inserted them into Zheng Ri's ears before speaking.

"Actually, we can just control the volume or make eye contact; there's no need to put earplugs on the commander, right?"

Although Vanguard is both the Commander's personal guard and his stand-in maid, it feels like Plymouth is spoiling the Commander a bit too much, completely forgetting that she had just massaged the Commander's legs.

"Commander, you came to this world all alone, where you have no one to rely on. It must be very hard for you. Let the Commander get some sleep."

"Moreover, these earplugs not only have a calming and sleep-inducing effect, but also a slight hypnotic effect."

"Hypnosis? What are you trying to do? You don't actually believe those Sakura Empire ship girls' lousy ideas, do you?"

Avant-garde's gaze toward Plymouth gradually sharpened. Although a large number of Sakura Empire ship girls in the port had such thoughts, they were opposed by the majority of the other ship girls.

Ship girls can accept a commander with little ability, but they cannot accept a puppet that can be completely manipulated. After all, the commander only needs to stay in the port and flirt with the ship girls from time to time to improve their relationship, which can maintain the normal operation of the port and even accelerate its expansion.

But treating them as toys to be manipulated at will is absolutely unacceptable; it will definitely lead to fighting and then a civil war.

It's very simple. The ship girls in the port aren't the ship girls' family, but the commander's family. With a commander, the ship girls are all family. Without a commander, who the hell is family with you?

As the saying goes, enemies are especially hostile when they meet. Without a commander, the ship girls in the port will not be united, friendly and harmonious. Instead, they will escalate a small conflict into a big fight over a major interest.

When there are many conflicts, the accumulated resentment will bring out the deep-seated hatred buried in the heart, and at that time it will not be a small matter.

That's why it's said that even someone with little ability can be a commander, at most their potential isn't very high. They're more of a glue and stabilizer, maintaining balance. But not just anyone can be one; it depends on adaptability and mental fortitude.

Now that Plymouth actually wants to hypnotize the commander, Vanguard felt something was wrong and couldn't help but think in that direction. Although it's useless for ship girls, it would be 100% useful for the commander.

"That's not the case, Lord Vanguard. I just think that the Commander is still somewhat resistant to us, and I want to gain his trust as quickly as possible."

Plymouth explained his thoughts and believed he was right, while the avant-garde was silenced by Plymouth's explanation, and his gaze toward the avant-garde became somewhat strange.

Girl, it's only been half a day! And you're already expecting the Commander to entrust his entire heart to you? Even ship girls don't open up to their Commanders this quickly. Aren't you being a bit too forward?

However, when Vanguard thought about how the Commander only had himself and Plymouth by his side, and how Plymouth and he took turns feeding and bathing the Commander, he gradually realized that without the ship girls by his side, he was like having no right or left hands, and he needed the ship girls to do everything properly.

Thinking of this, Qianwei couldn't help but lick his lips.

It seems, not bad?

It's time to speed things up in Chapter 13.

Although that's what I think, I'd rather not actually do it. The commander is fine as he is now.

After finishing his conversation with Plymouth, Qianwei didn't choose a room. Instead, he sat down next to Zhengri, leaning back on the sofa, stretching out his legs, and relaxing, intending to rest like that.

"Your Excellency, aren't you going to your room to rest?"

"No, Plymouth, as you know, being a ship girl next to the commander is the most relaxing thing, and I've never tried resting like this before. I want to experience it."

After rejecting Plymouth's offer, Vanguard rested. As a ship girl, the most relaxing place was undoubtedly where her sisters and commander were. This was partly because she needed to know that the commander was by her side.

Although it was rebuilt a second time and a promise was made to the commander, the feeling of gain and loss in my heart has not disappeared. This symptom is called dependency disorder, which requires a certain amount of time to cure.

Without giving it much thought, Vanguard slowly closed his eyes, sensing the mental network frequency between Plymouth and the Commander. His mind gradually calmed down, and he soon fell asleep.

Like the avant-garde, Plymouth also felt a bit sleepy after confirming that the two were asleep. This feeling of sleepiness is contagious, and it's still winter, just not this cold today.

After all, without activating their ship equipment, ship girls are only slightly better than humans.

Finally, Plymouth also gradually joined the afternoon nap crowd. This kind of weather is the best for sleeping, and the sunlight shone through the window into the not-so-quiet room.

But it seems

So warm and cozy.

...

"Simply put, meow, if the Commander builds something in that world over there, a portal will randomly appear in our port area, meow. Once you go inside, you can respond to the Commander's call, meow."

Urged on by everyone, Akashi deduced a false conclusion based on partial information and data obtained from instruments. It was considered a false conclusion because it was not fully verified, but the result was close enough.

He then used a lot of technical terms to explain to the anxious ship girls, and only after they understood did he give a simpler explanation.

"Akashi, that doesn't make sense either. Given the Commander's personality, he wouldn't stop until he had all the new ship girls built, and he would even go and open emails. It's impossible that he only summoned two ship girls."

Garden, a high-ranking member of the White Eagles, expressed her doubts. It wasn't that she didn't believe them, but she just didn't believe that her commander would only call in Plymouth and the Vanguard. He should have at least brought her along.

Chicken Rabbit thought to itself with a hint of jealousy.

"Meow, Akashi doesn't know about this one."

"However, what is certain is that with more information about teleportation portals, it should be possible to create a one-way teleportation portal. So if you encounter a teleportation portal, be sure to contact Akashi-nyan."

Akashi put away the surrounding instruments, and put all the data and conclusions in his hands into the ship's equipment. He would go to the data room later to make a record, save this rare data, and also copy it into a high-level database.

Such high-tech data, untouched by Sirens, is extremely rare and must be carefully preserved. Not only the commanders, but also the leading ship girls of each faction should consult it.

Furthermore, I'll need to go to the secretary ship later to get the access card for the S-class data room; there might be some new discoveries.

"Wait, Akashi, it's not that we don't believe you, but the sisters all want to see something, like how much it takes to create a portal?"

Bumblebee approached Akashi and questioned her. Now, two of the Royal Navy's ship girls had gone to the Commander's side. If this dragged on, the Commander would probably be corrupted soon.

When it comes to rendering commanders useless, Royal Navy and Sakura Empire are neck and neck.

"This is uncertain, because sufficient data and experimentation are needed. The more times the commander constructs the summons, the easier it will be to obtain results."

Akashi replied to Bumblebee with somewhat vague words. Although this thing was similar to the Sirens' teleportation portal, the port's current scientific research level had not yet fully grasped it. It would still be difficult to travel between worlds at will; it was just a matter of time.

After all, ship girls don't age. As long as they don't suffer from mental illness or lack of resources, they can generally maintain their energy and won't experience technological gaps.

"Although Akashi misses the Commander very much, there's a problem right now: we don't know if the time flow in our world and the Commander's world are synchronized. If it's slow, that's fine, but if it's fast..."

Akashi didn't say anything more, after all, the concept of life and death was practically non-existent for ship girls, but it was a different story for commanders.

If the commander grows old or even passes away before we've achieved any results, that would be absolutely unacceptable to us ship girls.

"Regarding this, I can confirm that the time flow on the commander's side is synchronized with ours."

Seeing that the conversation was getting dull and the direction it was taking was not good, Belfast decided to stop the plan for now. She didn't know if the Commander would forgive her if the port was caused to have problems because of a small plan, but she would definitely not forgive herself.

"you know?"

"Yes, the portal appeared next to me not long ago, but due to some factors, I didn't go in. Instead, I had Plymouth go in for me. Before going in, I handed Plymouth my smart bracelet and contacted her."

"The reason I kept it a secret from everyone was because I wanted to complete that referendum in Hong Kong. Please forgive me."

After Belfast finished speaking, she bowed and apologized to the ship girls, because this matter was quite serious in a sense. Everyone knows which choice to make: stop the loss in time or minimize the loss.

"..."

None of the ship girls present spoke up, nor did anyone try to make fun of Belfast, because most of the ship girls had participated in this matter. Except for a few submarines and destroyers who could not participate, and marriage ships, almost all of them participated in the referendum.

If they were to speak out against Belfast, it would be to oppose their own vote. Besides, they were all ship girls of the commander and sisters from a large family, so they could only pretend that nothing had happened.

"Meow! Head Maid Belfast, does the smartwatch work? If so, please give it to me, meow."

"With this data, maybe we'll meet the Commander again soon, meow."

Chapter 14 You Can't Leave

"Commander, are you awake?"

Before he even opened his eyes, Zheng Ri heard Plymouth's soft voice. Before he could do anything, Plymouth had already done it for him, gently touching Zheng Ri's head with both hands and massaging it lightly.

"Alright, Commander, you don't need to do anything. Just let Plymouth handle it."

"...Yes, it's okay, it's fine now."

Zheng Ri made Plymouth stop what he was doing, and as he slowly got up, he looked at the vanguard leaning against his leg. Seeing the vanguard's peaceful appearance, it was clear that he had not yet woken up.

"What's wrong with her, avant-garde?"

"Commander, Lord Vanguard has been a little tired lately, so he's resting right here beside you."

"That's not what I meant. The suites they assigned us are enough for each of us, so why isn't Qianwei going back to bed to rest?"

Actually, the main thing is that sleeping with her against my leg really gives me the feeling of being protected by a knight. However, her usually resolute expression softens, and if you disregard her identity as a ship girl, she's just an ordinary girl.

"And when the avant-garde is just quietly present, it has a kind of Sleeping Beauty-like beauty."

"Commander, for us ship girls, resting beside you is very relaxing, like feeling the warmth of the sea. That's why Vanguard rested right next to you, and..."

Plymouth, clutching his chest, explained to Zheng Ri, then went to Qianwei's side, gently nudged her shoulder, and said in a somewhat playful tone:

"Your Excellency, aren't you getting up? The blush on your face is giving you away."

"..."

Noticing his face was slightly flushed, and realizing he couldn't keep up the act any longer, Avant-garde slowly stood up. He didn't look at Zheng Ri, but instead straightened his clothes, looking at Plymouth with a frustrated expression.

How could you expose me so quickly? Is this how a best friend acts? Miss Plymouth, you've only been here half a day and you're already acting like the Commander.

It's alright, Vanguard, this can actually help warm up your relationship with the Commander.
