My ship girl setup is off...

Page 14

When they're hungry, I feed them delicious food; when they're thirsty, I feed them juice. If it weren't for the fact that playing games is too much trouble, I would even feed them mouth-to-mouth.

"I feel like the ship girls are turning me into a useless person, which is not a good thing," Masaharu thought to himself.

“Commander, you don’t need to worry. Plymouth’s existence is to assist you and everyone. Now Plymouth is ready to become your personal ship, so please rely on Plymouth even more.” Plymouth gradually moved closer to the commander and then gave him a gentle kiss. It wasn’t time to go any deeper yet, so a kiss was the best way to express their feelings.

"Commander, I want some too!" After Plymouth finished, Vanguard went up to her. Unlike Plymouth's gentle request, Vanguard's approach was somewhat predatory. He not only took over the spot inside but also teased and played with her as much as possible until Zheng Ri was a little out of breath before stopping. Finally, he licked his lips, looking like he was thanking her for the treat.

"I feel like you're trying to suck me dry, like you need me to breathe the air you breathe, right?"

"No, how could I do such a thing to the Commander? *kiss*" After saying that, the Vanguard kissed him a few more times, looking like he wanted more, and then smiled:

"Hehehe, my commander, hehehe" (drooling).

"Look at you, you're no longer a royal knight, you've become a knight-obsessed woman." Seeing Qianwei's infatuated state, Zheng Ri slapped her hard on the buttocks, and then her body went limp. She slowly got off Zheng Ri's lap and lay down on the sofa, still resting her head on Zheng Ri's lap.

"What does it matter? Don't you like it? Or is the Commander preparing to build new sisters and abandon us? We've shed so much sweat and blood for the Commander, I want fairness!" The Vanguard knew very well that his Commander might be building a large-scale project today, and if he didn't make a big fuss about it, he would definitely be blocked in every way if he wanted to get intimate with the Commander later.

They might even be caught committing a crime.

"Why do you keep bringing this up? Besides, I originally wanted to swear an oath to my lovely angel first, and then to my loyal knight, but it seems the knight's oath will have to be postponed for a while." Seeing Vanguard's unruly behavior, Vanguard hugged his lovely Plymouth tightly and said something slightly sarcastic, while Plymouth happily narrowed her eyes and blushed.

"Is what the Commander said true? If you're going to build a lot today..." Upon hearing that her Commander was going to make an oath with her, Vanguard immediately jumped up. However, considering that the Commander was going to build a lot today, the oath would definitely be postponed unless the sisters were involved.

"There's no rush for large-scale construction. The most important thing right now is you two, Plymouth and Vanguard. I've wanted to swear an oath to you for a long time, but I've always had something on my mind." Zheng Ri hugged his two ship girls tightly, thinking about all the little things that had happened since they arrived. Although it was mostly just flirting and eating and having fun, their kindness to him was genuine. Who could really refuse a girl who was so devoted to him?

"And you guys put in a lot of effort and hard work, especially in helping me grab commissions." I can't help but laugh when I think about this. The Rubik's Cube commissions released by the branch office are only available by grabbing them at the right time. I'm not fast enough, so I had Vanguard help me grab them. With the ship girls' reaction speed, they managed to grab them every time. It's like they're openly cheating. Luckily, I kept it to myself and didn't tell anyone, but others are very envious.

Although the Vanguard team always finished battles faster than the sailing time, it was indeed a meritorious achievement.

"Tch, what merit or hard work is this? If the commander wants, I can put you in an incomparably noble position." Upon hearing the commander say this, the vanguard felt that cutting a few pieces of trash was no merit at all. With the branch's trash combat strength, he could be bombed to death with just two shots.

Do you understand the value of a humanoid nuclear bomb?

"...Let's not talk about that anymore. How about we hold our oath at the church? The branch office has a place where commanders and ship girls can make their oaths. I've already booked it for tonight. Plymouth, what do you think?" Avoiding the potentially dangerous topic of avant-garde, Masahiro looked at Plymouth. Although Plymouth was his true initial ship in this world, this gentle woman before him, who could be like a mother to him, was someone Masahiro would make his marriage ship.

“Commander, if possible, please allow Plymouth and the Vanguard to jointly swear an oath…” Suddenly, Plymouth made her request.

Chapter 36 This Sakura Empire Knight, please calm down.

"Commander, what do you think of this one?" Qianwei excitedly brought a seemingly ordinary wedding dress to Zhengri and held it up to his side. Zhengri glanced at it and didn't know how to put it. It looked pretty, but the fabric at the chest area, combined with Qianwei's figure, made it seem a little plain.

Like Elizabeth, a royal disgrace.

"Well, it does look pretty good," Zheng Ri said without finishing his sentence, his eyes darting back and forth across Qianwei's chest. Qianwei, of course, noticed his commander's gaze and immediately uttered a harsh remark.

"Commander, if you keep comparing me to Plymouth, I'll gouge your eyes out!" The vanguard immediately regretted his words, thinking, "Oh no, how could I have said something like that? Besides, I was clearly in the bath..."

When you're in the room, you're hugging and biting me, but now you're comparing and complaining, right?

"No, how could that be? I just think this outfit doesn't quite suit you, Qianwei, and doesn't highlight your style. Don't you think so?" Zheng Ri walked up to Qianwei, put one arm around Qianwei's slender waist, and comforted him for a while before finally making the guard knight happy.

"Hmm, this wedding dress really isn't good enough, Commander. I'm thinking of giving up on it." After comparing several options, Vanguard frowned. It was his only vow in his life, but he couldn't find a wedding dress he liked. How infuriating.

"...This is the biggest wedding dress shop around here, but if you're not satisfied, then let's go to another one. Plymouth? Why are you empty-handed too?" Seeing the unhappy Avant-garde in front of him, Zheng Ri also felt that these wedding dresses didn't suit the temperament of his ship girl, they were simply mismatched. But since he didn't like them, he would go to another one. However, when he turned his head and saw that Plymouth was also empty-handed, Zheng Ri was puzzled. Was it really that bad?

"Commander, I'm sorry, Plymouth hasn't found a suitable wedding dress." Plymouth was also a little unhappy, and the smile that was always on her face was gone, probably like Vanguard.

"Then let's change it. We can't force you to change to something you don't like. Don't be sad. Let's look for something else. If that doesn't work, we can postpone it. You have to face what you like and not settle for what you don't want." Zheng Ri patted the sad little angel. He had planned to express his feelings to his beloved ship girl in the morning, then buy a wedding dress in the afternoon, and make a vow in the evening. Unfortunately, the dragon was missing a section.

"No, Commander, I understand your feelings, but the vow can't be delayed. We can just not buy the wedding dress." Hearing the commander say this, Vanguard felt that this wouldn't do. The wedding dress could be made up later, but the vow couldn't. This was an extremely important matter in the life of a ship, and there was a world of difference between doing it sooner or later.

“Commander, Plymouth thinks so too,” Plymouth echoed. “I agree. The wedding dress is optional, but the ring is a must.”

"...Okay, no compromises, let's leave it at that for now. There are still a few hours until the church oath ceremony, how about we go out for a stroll and relax?" Zheng Ri said with a smile, while his heart was racing. Although he hadn't really fallen in love with the ship girl, he was getting married! He was getting married! He was getting married to the person he loved and who he liked, which was one of the most important things in his life. It would be a lie to say he wasn't excited.

“Commander, we can skip the shopping, but Plymouth and I want you to do something. What do you think?” After putting the wedding dresses back in their places, Vanguard exchanged a few glances with Plymouth. Finally, with Plymouth nodding shyly, Vanguard stared intently at Zheng Ri.

"...You said..." After making eye contact with the vanguard, Zheng Ri instinctively felt that this might not be a good thing, but in order to appease her ship girl, she decided to do it. However, when the vanguard magically produced a men's suit, Zheng Ri's anxiety finally subsided. It was just changing clothes, nothing more.

"Plymouth, what do you think of my outfit?" After changing into the suit handed to him by the avant-garde, and with Plymouth's help, Zheng Ri felt like he had a new look. He had become somewhat capable and dashing, and gave off an inexplicable confidence. Moreover, due to their recent joint exercise, his belly had disappeared, and his figure had become somewhat slender, successfully transforming him from a knight into a menacing figure.

“Commander, you’re so handsome! Oh, your tie is a little crooked. Let Plymouth straighten it for you.” Plymouth’s face was flushed, and her smile widened. Especially when looking at him up close, Plymouth felt like she was about to burst into tears again.

After straightening Zheng Ri's tie and paying the bill, Qianwei and Plymouth each took Zheng Ri's arm and led him to the nearest restroom. As they approached the women's restroom, Zheng Ri realized something was wrong, but his hands were restrained, leaving him unable to resist.

"So, what kind of piay are we going to play again?... " Zheng Ri sat on the toilet seat, looking at the vanguard who locked the door and Plymouth who was ready to go, and then looked at his own suit. It was truly the heart of a ship girl, Commander knew.

How many times has this happened? Three times already! In the beginning, during a shopping trip, and now, I feel like I'm the one being bullied.

"Don't worry, Commander, there's definitely no one here this time. I put the 'Cleaning in Progress' sign outside."

"That's not what I wanted to ask," Zheng Ri said. Before he could finish, Qian Wei lifted his now-transformed black-stockinged legs and hooked them over Zheng Ri's shoulders. Then, his mouth was covered by something soft and wet.

“Commander, this time you tore it open yourself, so I won’t help you…” Before he could finish speaking, the vanguard took out another card, which was probably the nth one, and stuffed it into the commander’s suit. Then he gently pressed down on the commander’s head and began to enjoy it. However, he hadn’t enjoyed it for more than a few seconds before Zheng Ri began to resist.

"Can you stop playing this kind of weirdo? I feel like you're getting more and more perverted." Looking up at the avant-garde who was looking down at him and Plymouth who was already excitedly waiting on the side, Zheng Ri wondered if this was the other way around.

"The Commander is the one who's been taking it all along, and now he's quitting? That's unacceptable."

"Quick, Master, you don't want your fiancé's ship to know about this, do you?"

Chapter 37 Oath of the Ship Girls, Dengdua

As dusk approached, Zheng Ri led Plymouth and the Vanguard to the Hall of Oaths. Upon opening the doors, they were greeted by a spacious and sacred geometric building with a unique Western style. Burning candle holders were placed on both sides of the arched columns, while the seats in the reception area on both sides were draped with violet wreaths and white gauze. At the far end of the hall was the end point of the oath ceremony: a podium and a large floor-to-ceiling window behind it.

Bathed in the glow of twilight, a bright orange hue spills onto the walls and pillars, while light streams through the three large floor-to-ceiling windows at the back, further emphasizing the hall's sacredness.

"I don't know if you're satisfied, guests. I'll also be your witness at the wedding and sign the vows certificate later." The ship girl who led the day introduced the Vow Hall to them again. After all, the vow is extremely important to ship girls, both in terms of ceremony and meaning, it's a once-in-a-lifetime event.

"However, sir, we do not provide atmosphere-setting staff. As for the reason, I'm sure your wedding ship knows. Please understand," the waitress explained gently to Zheng Ri. Having learned from past experiences, they would not do anything unnecessary.

"It's alright, I'm already very satisfied. My ship girls have also told me about this." Zheng Ri waved his hand at the waiter. He had considered this matter before, but later, Qianwei and Plymouth said that it would be awkward if they weren't his sisters. It would definitely not be good to have a large group of strangers at his wedding. Zheng Ri expressed his understanding.

"In that case, please let me know when you start." After saying that, the service ship girl stepped back from the scene. There are quite a few commanders who always have a lot to say to their ship girls before the wedding, and she didn't want to be a third wheel.

"Okay, Vanguard, Plymouth, how are you feeling?" After replying, Masahi looked at the ship girls on both sides of him. From their faces, he could tell that they were very happy. Plymouth was fine, and Vanguard's face was full of gentle expressions, even a little dazed.

"Very satisfied, Commander. I just didn't expect that what I hoped for would come true so quickly, hehe." Vanguard looked at the palace in front of him and couldn't help but chuckle. What he thought would be a long time ago had come true so quickly, and his sky-blue eyes were filled with happy tears.

“Commander, Plymouth is very happy. Ah, I’m sorry, Commander, Plymouth unconsciously shed tears, causing you to witness this embarrassing scene.” Plymouth noticed tears welling up in her eyes, touched them with her hand, then shielded her eyes from the commander’s view before wiping away the tears.

"It's okay, it's okay, cry it out, you're happy today." Zheng Ri patted the little angel's head. Plymouth was always so gentle. Now that she had touched a nerve, whether it was happiness or something else, she had to cry to release her feelings.

After they finished crying, Zheng Ri took out some tissues he had prepared beforehand and gently wiped away their tears. Once they had calmed down, he prepared to begin the vow ceremony.

"Guests, are you really not going to change into your wedding dresses?" The service ship girl asked the vanguard and the others a very important question, since wedding dresses are an important part of the ceremony.

"No need, please begin." Plymouth shook her head at the service ship girl. Although she was a little disappointed, the commander had said that they wouldn't compromise, and they could always do it again later.

Zheng Ri looked at the empty reception area and was filled with mixed emotions. He thought about his arrival in this world and things before that, and his feelings became more complicated. However, when he turned to look at the two lovely people waiting for him, he felt that he should let go of everything.

There was no music, no family, no celebration, no banquet, not even a change of clothes. I changed back into my white commander's uniform, while Vanguard and Plymouth were dressed in their ship uniforms.

But the only ones he had were the two beautiful ship girls right in front of him, who were devoted to him and would never abandon him or leave him. They stood there waiting for his response.

As he gradually approached Plymouth, Zheng Ri smiled as he looked at the light shining in Plymouth's eyes. He then took out a small black box from his pocket, opened it, and inside was a vow ring that emitted a soft light.

"Plymouth, will you stay with me forever?" Zheng Ri carefully took the ring out of the box, then took Plymouth's right hand and prepared to slowly slip it onto her right ring finger, but he felt as if something was missing, though Plymouth reminded him.

“Commander, if it’s alright, may you kneel down on one knee for Plymouth?” After Plymouth finished speaking, Zheng Ri suddenly remembered something he had forgotten, so he quickly knelt down on one knee, then took Plymouth’s right hand with his left hand and did it again.

"Plymouth, would you hand it over to me?"

“Commander… Plymouth is willing…” With that, Zheng Ri slowly slipped the oath ring onto Plymouth's ring finger. Plymouth covered her mouth with her left hand, trying to stop herself from crying again. But Zheng Ri couldn't let Plymouth do that. He slowly stood up, put his arms around her waist, and gently…

A passionate kiss in Plymouth.

"Commander, from today onwards, I am your personal ship..."

“Yes, from now on you will be my darling, my beautiful angel.” Zheng Ri kissed Plymouth again, then looked at the Vanguard who was waiting for him. Plymouth sensibly gave up her seat, and it was the Vanguard’s turn.

Approaching the vanguard, he knelt on one knee again, then took out the Oath Ring from another box and looked at the vanguard, saying:

"Avant-garde, are you willing to entrust your life to me?"

"Commander... I swear by the Oath Ring that the Vanguard's sword and my life will forever be dedicated to you, Commander!" The Vanguard picked up his sword and swore an oath to the ring, which was also an oath to his own soul.

She slipped the vow ring onto Qianwei's ring finger, stood up, and then shared a passionate kiss with him, not out of excessive desire, but to prove to each other the meaning of their existence.

After the ceremony, Zheng Ri and the two ship girls came to the podium and wrote their names on the oath forms that were already written and just waiting to be signed. However, the presence of Chinese characters on the oath forms, which were mostly in English, was a bit jarring. Then, they had Vanguard and Plymouth sign the oath forms, and finally, they were framed and given to Vanguard and Plymouth respectively, and placed in their ship equipment.

"Guest, the process is complete. You can pay the balance tomorrow or the day after. The cleaning tools and perfume are in the restroom next door. This hall does not contain any items that can spy on privacy or record. Also, the Oath Hall requires identity verification to enter. You can just push the door open to leave. Please use it with peace of mind." After saying that, the service ship girl left immediately. After all, some ship girls like this kind of thing. She is a service person, so she can't disturb other people's intimate time.

"...Vanguard, what does she mean by this?" Zheng Ri was completely baffled as he watched the service ship girl running away so fast. Vanguard and Plymouth exchanged glances, and then Plymouth took out several video cameras from her ship equipment and placed them on the podium. Then, she and Vanguard hugged the commander together.

"Commander, what do you mean? That must be an important part of the oath."

"What...?" Zheng Ri looked at the avant-garde and Plymouth, whose faces were gradually turning red, and immediately understood. He felt his kidneys tremble.

"That is... becoming an adult, commonly known as 'dengdua lang'!" After saying that, the vanguard unbuttoned the commander's clothes.

Chapter 38 The Clingy Cat

"Commander, are you awake? I'm sorry, Plymouth and Vanguard went too far." Hearing the gentle and familiar voice, Zheng Ri opened his eyes and saw a pretty face and golden hair very close to him. However, based on the view in front of him and the sound of water in his ears, Zheng Ri realized that he was in the bathroom.

This was the first time I'd experienced a loss of consciousness... I moved my mouth and realized that what was moving inside was Qianwei's tongue. Because Qianwei had a habit of muttering to himself in his sleep, I could feel something moving in my mouth, gently moving Qianwei's head away. I felt the sensation of something separating from my mouth, and it was very sticky. Finally, it separated, and I breathed in fresh air. Just as I was about to turn my head, my head was held in place by a pair of hands.

"Commander, the vanguard is starting to wake up. Please don't move, or your body will go limp."

"Plymouth, am I lying on top of you right now?" Although she couldn't feel her limbs when she first woke up, her senses gradually returned as time went by. She felt a soft, fleshy sensation behind her, and immediately wondered if she was lying on top of Plymouth, and then there was the added element of avant-garde...

“Commander, please don’t worry. Your and Vanguard’s weight is not much to Plymouth’s eyes.” Plymouth wiped the hickeys on the commander’s body with a handkerchief. He had just kissed him without thinking, but thankfully there was no problem and they would disappear.

"That's good. Ugh, just thinking about what happened today gives me a headache." After confirming that there were no problems with Plymouth, Zheng Rihui thought about what happened today, especially the final oath-taking ceremony. It was really something else. They did all sorts of things like "brotherhood" and "siblings," and even some actions that he didn't remember.

Moreover, they weren't quite done having fun in the hall, so after quickly tidying up, they went back to their suite to continue playing. They played until they were completely exhausted. Fortunately, there weren't many classes today, so the ship girls and commanders were mostly getting familiar with mission assignments and the people in charge of various places. Otherwise, they would have been penalized for being absent.

Oh my God, look at the time! Is this even possible?

"Commander's awake? Want to do it again?" The Vanguard, who was gradually waking up, spoke softly. His mind was still a little unclear, but he could still tell that the person in front of him was his commander. He kissed him and then grinned foolishly before continuing to lie down.

"Qianwei, you're awake and you're already getting off me? And you have the nerve to say that? My impression of you is completely ruined." Zheng Ri used his gradually regaining strength to pat Qianwei's flushed face, feeling...

He was caressing that smooth skin with obvious affection.

"What is the Commander saying? We can practically call each other 'darling' now. You can't live without me, and I can't live without you. What's the point of impression points? None of that matters anymore. Besides, darling..." After saying that, Vanguard looked up and whispered in Zheng Ri's ear:

"Yours is still inside me, mmm~ kiss, hehe, want to do it again?"

"No, you should get up." Zheng Ri didn't want to talk. His body had been played with by Qianwei and Plymouth to this extent that it had become a physical instinct. Moreover, Qianwei was right. He definitely couldn't live without them. Not to mention dependence, these were his wives, so he definitely couldn't live without them.

unless...

"What bad things are you thinking about, Commander? There's only widowhood, not divorce. We'd rather die than let you leave our side, Commander." Sensing what Zheng Ri was thinking, the vanguard's tone was somewhat threatening, but the vanguard was still a little afraid that the ring would really be taken back like in that picture. He couldn't hit the commander, that was engraved in his mind, and what if he really made up his mind to leave?

The more Vanguard thought about it, the more frightened he became. He decided it was best to send the Commander to the basement to be cared for. After all, he could take care of his eating, drinking, toileting, and sleeping. Turning him into a cripple would make him unable to leave him.

"Don't overthink it. I can't bear to part with you. You're all my wives. You think you can run away? No way!" After saying that, Zheng Ri lowered his head and kissed Qian Wei, which reassured him. But he was afraid that wasn't enough, so he could only continue to offer himself up to the tiger.

"I wonder if I can get rid of these marks here?" Afterwards, Masahi touched the hickeys and red marks on his neck, feeling that if he were to build ship girls like this and someone saw it, he didn't know what they would think.

“Commander, this will disappear over time. Applying a hot towel can speed it up, but it will still take quite a while…” Vanguard came to the front of Zheng Ri and raised the collar a little to make it as inconspicuous as possible. However, upon seeing the Commander’s lips, Vanguard subconsciously lowered his head and kissed him.

"Commander, you are so charming."

"Thank you" is already used to it. Now, after the oath, they kiss each other all the time, and they look at you from time to time. Plymouth does the same, except she kisses her secretly or for a long time. Anyway, now she kisses the ship girl every half hour, or they are always together.

Like a cat that's been intoxicated by catnip, it's sticky and clingy.

"Alright, let's go build ship girls." Sensing the covetous gaze of the two ship girls, Zheng Ri felt that this was not good. It might be a mistake to swear an oath so quickly. He urgently needed new ship girls to protect him.

Meanwhile, in a secluded cottage in the Sakura Empire's port area, Musashi and Shinano, both of the Grand River class, sipped their sake, gazed at the bright starry sky, and let out a sigh.

"Shinano, what do you think the Commander is doing right now?"

"Even I, your humble servant, cannot see through the barriers of time and space to find out the truth, but in the near future, we will surely meet again." Shinano closed her eyes and vaguely manipulated the astrological chart. Through the illusion, she could only see nothingness. If she could, she would have already fallen asleep and become one with the Commander.

"Is that so? The commander is our leader, and we are his subordinates, but we are not by his side. It is truly unspeakable." Musashi looked at the materialized greatsword, feeling powerless despite his good intentions. What were his thoughts?

"Huh? This is..." Suddenly, Musashi looked at the space distortion that suddenly appeared in front of him and subconsciously summoned a part of his shikigami ship equipment. He looked cautiously at the passage in front of him. In contrast to Musashi, Shinano opened his eyes.

Chapter 39 The Big Black and White Dumpling

"The vibration coming from here is... the Commander? This is the Commander's mental link." Shinano, who had come to Musashi's side, felt a very familiar frequency from the spatial distortion in front of him. This was the Commander's mental link to his soul network. A smile appeared on Shinano's face.

"This is the Commander's mental link? Then why don't I feel it as strongly as you do?" After hearing what Shinano said, Musashi retrieved his shikigami ship equipment and compared it with his memories before confirming that it was indeed the Commander's mental link. He just didn't understand why he hadn't noticed it himself.

"...You were created by the Commander less than a year and a half ago, and the time you've been scheduled to launch attacks is less than a tenth of mine. Of course, most importantly, you haven't fallen in love with the Commander yet, have you?" Shinano thought for a moment and explained the difference between herself and her sister. The main point was that Musashi hadn't fallen in love with the Commander yet. Liking and loving are two different things, and the degree of liking and loving is also different.

"Is that so? It doesn't matter. Getting to the Commander's side is more important than that." When Shinano said this, Musashi understood the difference between himself and her. He liked her and would think about her from time to time, but it wasn't the most important thing. Shinano, on the other hand, kept it in her heart and missed her all the time when she couldn't see her.

Of course, the most important thing is to work together, but can we have more options?

When Shinano heard Musashi say this, she didn't know how to respond and fell silent. With so many ship girls in the port, apart from submarines and destroyers, at the very least one-third of them had fallen in love with the commander. The rest were just a matter of not having enough time to spend together, not even counting the number of ship girls who had married him.

In a sense, the port area and human society

It will be the same. Under the principle of fair competition, if you don't do it, there will be plenty of others. The port has no shortage of ship girls. If you don't compete, you might not even get a turn. Besides, it's not like the port doesn't build new ship girls...
