My ship girl setup is off...

Page 170

Fortunately, while Zheng Ri was thinking about how to explain to them, Montpellier, who was beside him, snorted and came to his side. Facing the curious gazes of his sisters, she thought for a moment and then took the initiative to take his hand to prove that she wasn't just putting on an act.

"Oh dear, it's true, Montpellier, you've been stabbed!"

"No, I just expressed my feelings to the Commander. You're all overthinking it."

Montpellier's face remained cold, but a hint of pink flushed her cheeks. She knew that Denver, who was teasing her and the commander, was talking about something. It was undoubtedly about the photos she had posted in a moment of impulsiveness earlier. Although they had been retracted, they still knew about them.

She's tough on the outside, but soft on the inside.

Just as Denver was about to continue speaking, another small white figure ran up to Zheng Ri and asked for a hug. Zheng Ri ignored their teasing and hugged his little cutie, his little cutie Laffey.

"Commander, welcome back~"

"Mmm~, I'm back, Raffi, my little darling."

Holding her soft, laughing body in his arms, Zheng Ri nuzzled her tender little face and stroked her smooth, long hair. Raffi always liked pigtails; did they make her look especially cute?

"Yes, Commander, Laffey has been waiting for your gift all this time."

Raffi let him touch her freely, rubbing her face against him, acting coquettishly and willfully, and revealing her innermost thoughts, leaving Zheng Ri somewhat amused and exasperated.

"Okay, okay, my little Lafite doesn't love me anymore. He's started becoming materialistic. It's so painful."

"Hmm~~, so Laffey doesn't want a gift? She'll just want the Commander then."

Hearing his grief, Laffey raised her face and looked at Zheng Ri, who was pretending to be sad and upset. Laffey touched his face and, after comparing the two, decided that her commander was more important than the commander's gift. She decided to forget about the gift.

"Just kidding, I've already prepared my Lafite, mua~, I'll put it on you in a bit."

"Hmm~, Laffey, thank you, Commander..."

Faced with such a cute and alluring Raffi, Zheng Ri couldn't help but kiss her fair and tender face hard. His little wife was always adorable, and the gift had already been prepared.

"Commander, let's go inside and talk. I know you've already eaten, but Helena has prepared lunch too. Please come in and have some."

Just as Zheng Ri finished speaking, Cleveland seized the opportunity to join in. He didn't understand where the commander's habit came from, always preferring to speak near the door and never sitting down.

"Okay, let's go inside first and talk about it then."

...

"Memphis, you're here too?"

"Yes, Commander, I heard you were in Cleveland, so I thought I'd come over too."

Memphis, who was talking to Helena, noticed Zheng Ri's arrival. He nodded to him and continued talking to Helena, but his eyes remained on Zheng Ri.

"Alright, then you can talk to Helena first, Laffey~"

Zheng Ri carried Raffi and sat down next to Memphis. The latter secretly glanced at him, and then carefully closed the distance between them.

Zheng Ri made Raffi sit obediently on his lap, her back to him, and stroked her long white hair, even if it was just a light touch.

Even a light touch leaves a lingering sweet fragrance.

After silently giving himself a thumbs up, Zheng Ri took a simple box from his pocket. Inside was a bunny hair clip. Then, Zheng Ri slowly untied Raffi's twin ponytails, and her beautiful twin ponytails immediately came loose, her long hair cascading down her shoulders. Combined with Raffi's slight turn of her head and a little moan, she looked like a gentle, innocent princess looking at him with a puzzled gaze.

For a moment, Zheng Ri thought that Lafite with her long hair might be very beautiful and worth a try, but not now.

"Don't worry, Raffi, I'll get it done quickly, don't fret."

After putting the original hair clip away, I took out the bunny hair clip. Only then did I realize that there was a small switch. When you press it, a bunny ear pops out. But that's just right.

The bunny hair clip has successfully evolved into a real bunny hair clip, congratulations!

Gently lift up Raffi's loose long hair to form a single ponytail, carefully clip it up, and then repeat the process on the other side. This completes part of the task.

"Commander, is it ready?"

"Not yet, Raffi. There's one last one. You're my lovely little princess, so you definitely have to be more and cuter than everyone else."

Zheng Ri smiled and said something that made Raffi's face turn slightly pink. Then, he took out a jewelry box from the prepared bag. Inside was a cluster of gold and silver necklace pendants.

"Lafite, is it pretty?"

"Yes, they're beautiful. Everything the Commander gives Laffey is beautiful."

Seeing the pendant in front of her, the gold and silver necklace and the dangling ruby, made Raffi smile happily. She then swung her legs to let him slowly tie it on for her until it was finished.

"Alright, now my lovely Laffey has become a little princess. Does Laffey like it?"

After the pendant was tied on, Zheng Ri sat Raffi sideways and looked at the jewelry she was wearing. It was so beautiful, like a lovely and beautiful ivory tower princess, innocent and naive, making her all the more pitiful.

"I love everything the Commander gives Laffey. Laffey loves everything the Commander gives her..."

Upon hearing Laffey mention liking someone, Masaharu happily kissed her cheek affectionately. However, as Masaharu's joy faded, she realized something was amiss: why were all the ship girls staring at her like that?

"What's wrong?

"No, Commander, would you like to try being a father? I'll just be the daughter."

Chapter 454 True Identity

In the end, Denver and the others' idea did not come to fruition. After all, they had just brought it up when Cleveland rejected it righteously. Rather, it's hard to say what would have happened if they hadn't been rejected.

After all, when it comes to seniority in the ship girl community, it's truly a mess, comparable to having an uncle who's several years younger than you and causing you a headache.

"How wonderful! Montpellier got the hinge, plus drinks, and the Commander's gentlemanly service. Isn't this better than me getting a boxing glove?"

Denver stirred the mushroom cream soup in his bowl with a spoon, bent down, and saw Montpellier's bare ankles adorned with glittering, glowing golden anklets. He was immediately filled with envy and jealousy, especially considering that Montpellier's feelings for the Commander seemed lukewarm, yet she received such a wonderful reward. His thoughts began to wander.

"Denver, if you put it that way, I reckon the Commander might take back your gift."

Biloxi looked at her with a gloating expression. How could she say such things? Didn't she see that the Commander fell into deep thought when he heard those words?

"Hehe~, the Commander would never treat me like that, Biloxi, don't say such things, I was just expressing my feelings."

"It's alright, there's no such thing as taking back a gift once it's been given. However, Denver, if you want a better gift... you'll have to come and get it yourself."

Zheng Ri put down the fork he was feeding Lafite, watched his little wife chew slowly and adorably, then lowered his head and kissed her pink lips, which were smeared with sauce. Lafite returned the kiss with a small kiss, and then looked at Denver.

If you want it, you have to come and get it yourself; you have to know the rules.

"Haha~, I think it's pretty good as it is, Commander, you eat, you eat."

As Denver was being teased by Zheng Ri's gaze, he thought of the time he tasted him, and his face immediately flushed red with embarrassment.

Commander, you should have just said it in private. How am I supposed to answer this?

After pursing his lips, Denver continued eating his steak. After all, the Commander had come, and Helena had cooked, so he definitely had to give it a good taste.

Seeing that Denver had stopped causing trouble, Biloxi glanced at the commander who was doting on Laffey, and after thinking for a moment, decided to say it one last time.

"Commander, what do you think? When are you going on a date with us?"

"That's a good idea. I don't have any places I plan to go anywhere recently, but before that, would you like to familiarize myself with the area first?"

Seeing that Biloxi clearly wanted to devour him, Zheng Ri smiled and agreed. If nothing unexpected happened, it would be fine; after all, he couldn't always rely on someone he knew well.

Ship girls need to eat, drink, and have fun. Even ship girls you're not very familiar with need to spend time with them properly.

People who are familiar with each other should be together, and people who are not so familiar should also be together; only in this way can it be considered a complete society.

"Commander, me too."

Seeing that Biloxi had already obtained the commander's approval, Birmingham thought for a moment and then made the same request. After all, they had come for the commander, and now that they had the opportunity, they had to give it a try.

Happiness is something you have to fight for.

"And... what about Memphis?"

Zheng Ri noticed Memphis staring intently at him and tentatively asked a question. As expected, Memphis nodded in response.

"Commander, you know that when trouble comes, we can't just sit and wait to die."

"...How about we do it all together?"

Being watched closely by Biloxi, Birmingham, and Memphis, Zheng Ri felt he was in serious trouble. It wasn't that he disliked their initiative, but if it continued one after another, he could already imagine shopping in the afternoon, having lovemaking in the evening, and then continuing the next day...

"I have no problem."

"Me too"

"...Commander, I won't get involved, but could we talk about this privately later?"

Surprisingly, Biloxi and Birmingham started working together, but Memphis didn't have the same idea. Instead, she wanted to have a private chat with him.

"Of course, no problem."

"Since there are no problems, let's continue. You've all been so busy chatting, don't waste the delicious food Helena worked so hard to make!"

Seeing that the atmosphere at the dinner table had eased considerably, Cleveland appropriately ended the topic. There was nothing he could do; all his sisters were the same. They appeared to be amicable on the surface, but when it came to competing for something, they were ruthless.

"It's alright, just eat slowly... Um, Commander, would you like me to feed you, like last night?"

Helena was delighted to see most of the people she knew and loved there, a cheerful smile on her face. Seeing that the Commander had stopped feeding Laffey, she thought of doing something for him herself.

But as soon as she finished speaking, Helena felt their gazes all turn to her, which startled her for a moment before she realized what she had said.

"Hehe~, Helena, how was last night?"

...

Teasing from Denver and the others, Helena blushed and kept quiet, so the family dinner ended in a cheerful atmosphere. Since Memphis wanted to talk to her, Zheng Ri took her to the second-floor balcony.

Looking at the beautiful grassland in front of him, Zheng Ri could see small houses in the distance, where his ship girls lived. Further away, there were commercial streets and some office buildings that could meet the ship girls' needs for shopping and entertainment.

It's hard to imagine that this is an island with only a few hundred inhabitants, which, under the powerful Mane, has become an island industry chain far from the mainland.

All this beauty started with them; even from the second floor, you could hear them chatting happily.

However, Zheng Ri only looked at the scenery in the distance and did not talk to Memphis behind him, while the latter waited quietly for him to speak.

"Memphis, is there anything you need to tell me? But you're probably not my Memphis, are you? If I'm not mistaken, you're Memphis.META."

"The commander actually found out?"

When he heard him reveal his true identity, Memphis was somewhat shocked, but that was all. He then dropped his disguise and looked at him with a complicated expression.

"Commander, what is your true identity?"

Chapter 455 Drifting here, I only regret not meeting you, sir. If you don't abandon me... 4k

"Wait, wait, wait!! Stop, stop, stop! Ouch!"

When the Purifier saw Memphis META walking towards her, she immediately sensed something was wrong. Just as she was about to run away, Memphis was already in front of her and had deployed part of her ship equipment. A black, spear-like gun barrel was pointed at her head, causing her to cry out in pain.

It was as if a gentle press would cause her head to explode instantly.

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute! I just came to confirm something! I'm not here to do anything bad!!"

"Purifier, you should know that this is how prisoners talk, and these prisoners are generally quite stubborn. I think you no longer need to refute them."

Memphis META's indifferent tone vanished, replaced by a desire to kill the guy who was ruining the atmosphere. After all, there were so many Siren bodies; destroying one wouldn't matter. As long as their mainframes were still intact and their quantum data could still be uploaded, they would be immortal.

Thinking of this, Memphis META was about to pull the trigger, but the Purifier, seeing that she really wanted to kill him, quickly raised the Iris salute and pleaded for help from Zheng Ri.

"Help!"

"Commander! Stop your ship girl! She's innocent!!"

Originally, Zheng Ri was just secretly watching Memphis META argue with the Purifier who ruined the atmosphere, but when she called for help, Zheng Ri couldn't help but laugh.

So sirens can cry foul too? I've never seen anything like it before.

"Alright, Memphis, let's leave her alone for now and see what she wants to do here."

Seeing that the Purifier seemed to be quite serious, Zheng Ri waved his hand at Memphis META, telling her not to be in such a hurry, in case she really had something to do.

"Commander, I think we shouldn't let her go yet, otherwise it would be dangerous if she suddenly appeared in front of you..."

Memphis META didn't turn around; her eyes remained fixed on the Purifier. Her cold expression and the spear-gun in her hand made her seem like a heartless killer, sending chills down the Purifier's spine. Red warnings appeared in her vision, urging her to leave immediately or face danger.

Memphis

"...Yes, Commander."

Zheng Ri called her name again, causing Memphis META to relax her grip on the trigger she was about to pull. However, Memphis META still looked at the Purifier with a dangerous gaze, making her laugh awkwardly. She then looked at Zheng Ri, hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, and made a small request to him.

"Commander, could you please allow me to verify your identity?"

"Verification? Verify what? My identity is that of a commander, right? I can't possibly be your superior, can I?"

Zheng Ri raised an eyebrow at what the Purifier said, asking with some confusion. Before, an observer who had put the ring on his own seemed to have said something similar, something about confirming identity, which was very puzzling.

For a moment, Zheng Ri felt that it wasn't impossible for him to be the leader of the Sirens. Well, he had this inexplicable intuition.
