Then, it felt as if a thousand-pound boulder was pressing down on my body, and I felt as if I were in a giant vise, stuck and unable to move.

One, two, three powerful hammer blows—this is a fine steel worthy of being forged a thousand times.

Helena Meta felt an indescribable heat on her face in an instant, as if her face had been scalded. She dared not look up at the cruel steelmaking scene before her and could only silently endure the heat of the molten steel splashing onto her face.

Her heart was already dead; all she could do now was let out a low, painful groan. There was nothing she could do.

"Ah, my poor commander..."

Helena felt that her consciousness had completely turned to ashes at this moment. Apart from closing her eyes and avoiding the scene that was like a living hell to her, she could do nothing else.

However, closing off the vision actually enhances the triple senses of sight, smell, and touch.

These waves of sound crashed against his ears, and his body couldn't bear it, flushing red and slowly creeping up his chest and up his snow-white neck.

Her legs rubbed together unconsciously; the humiliation made her feel that there was no point in living anymore.

"........"

Allen glanced at Helena Meta, who was barely moving, and snapped his fingers.

OK~~~

Reno, understanding immediately, dragged Helena Meta out.

Overwhelmed by exhaustion, Shen Xin, now fully recovered, fell into a deep sleep the moment she lay down.

"Mmm~ It tastes good~"

Washington, who had already eaten her fill, sat on the edge of the bed, elegantly wiping her lips with a tissue. This meal was truly a feast for her; she hadn't enjoyed a meal so much in a long time.

"You can still eat leftovers with such relish? Can't you treat yourself a little better, boss?"

Allen muttered a few words of exasperation.

"You don't understand. As the saying goes, fried rice made from leftovers has a soul. The same principle applies to enjoying the Commander's food."

Washington's eyes gleamed with a cunning glint.

Sure enough, she's an expert.

"Is the matter with Helena Meta just going to be left like this?"

Washington lifted her skirt and asked casually.

"......"

Allen paused for a moment, looking at Hai Ma and Saint Aunt, who were consciously launching a pincer attack on Shen Xin from both sides, and the glittering Oath Rings on their hands.

He raised his hand, looked at his empty ring finger, and sighed.

"What else can we do? Leave some room for maneuver, so you can meet again in the future. The punishment for Helena Meta has already been excessive. If we push things too far, you'll have a hard time negotiating with Ember later, won't you?"

"Hmph, you really do consider everything."

Washington smiled with satisfaction, then patted Allen on the back and pulled him into a tight embrace.

"Alright~ Let the commander get some rest. He hasn't slept for a week. As for you, stop thinking about your ring. You'll get it sooner or later. Look at me, I've had only one new outfit in all these years. At least you have two."

"That's because we're not strong enough! If we had Helena's ability to retain value, we would have had the rings long ago!"

Allen reverted to his former adorable self, puffing out his cheeks in displeasure.

"Sigh, let's not talk about such sad topics. Once upon a time, I was known as the perfect battleship. Come on, let's go find North Carolina for a drink!"

Washington, in a hearty manner, dragged Allen away without further ado.

Under the moonlight, Helena, draped in a pristine wedding dress, slept soundly, her face radiating happiness.

The blush on her face, which hadn't faded to begin with, deepened in color.

This morning was an incredibly important day for her. After several days of in-depth communication, Helena had overcome her shyness and melancholy. Although a little bit was still there, when she was with the Commander, Helena was all she felt was tenderness.

I still remember how embarrassed Shen Xin looked when she handed me the Oath Ring today.

If it were the normal Helena, she would probably be too embarrassed and shy to speak at this moment, but things are different now.

"I...I believe that the Commander will bring us hope. And this time I will fight to the very end...The thought of parting with the one I love by death is enough to break my heart."

Shen Xin was taken aback. This line, this familiar feeling, this familiar taste—it was undoubtedly a classic line that had boosted her favorability to the level of love.

The dazzling light refracted by that pure crystal made Helena cover her mouth with her hands, and tears immediately rolled down her cheeks.

"Is this the promise the Commander made to me...? Oh... I'm so happy..."

As the ring was perfectly placed on Helena's ring finger, the pure white Miracle Wedding Dress instantly draped over Helena's body, so holy and beautiful.

So, ship girls with wedding dress skins will automatically change into the dress when granted the Oath Ring?

Episode 21: My second brother is invincible, but unfortunately, the other side has too many silver coins.

Life has returned to normal, with different high-intensity activities every day.

However, all the Eagle Union ship girls tacitly kept it a secret from Enterprise.

After two weeks of intense fighting, Shen Xin came to a conclusion.

Working with the company and getting regular training is actually the most relaxing thing to do.

Because it's really not tiring at all.

However, being with other ship girls was fine for the first few days, but as time went on, it gradually became a source of pain.

If it weren't for the exceptional medical capabilities of the White Eagle medical team, Shen Xin seriously suspected she might have collapsed and died at any moment.

Even with medication, the wear and tear on the body cannot be ignored.

"..."

Inside the medical room, the goddess of the hearth removed her stethoscope with a displeased expression.

"Can't we be a little more careful with our spending? Huh? Helena, how did you schedule this? You've already worn down three layers of skin, aren't you afraid of causing serious injury? If this is ruined, the White Eagles will be in big trouble and become the target of everyone's criticism!"

"I'm...I'm sorry...because...because I was forced to be absent from work for a week, so...so I didn't pay attention to the Commander's actual situation."

Helena bowed her head repeatedly in shame and apologized.

"No fire-making by friction is allowed today, do you hear me?" the female stove god said, licking the gauze gently before carefully wrapping the wound tightly.

"hiss--"

Shen Xin's thighs tightened, and she couldn't help but gasp. This feeling was both painful and pleasurable.

"Bear with it, it's for disinfection. This kind of medicine needs to be used with saliva to speed up absorption."

The goddess of the hearth spoke with a serious and earnest expression.

"Alright, remember, control your blood flow. If you don't want to bleed to death, you'd better behave yourself today, you hear me!"

"Yes Yes Yes....."

Before Shen Xin could even speak, Helena nodded repeatedly in agreement.

After treating her wound, Helena could only rest at home. She thoughtfully hung a sign on the door saying "No Visitors Allowed" before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

Finally, the day passed peacefully. Shen Xin gazed at the chubby little bird that occasionally flew by outside the window and fell into deep thought.

Instead of questioning life, she reviewed her achievements over the past two weeks. When she thought of the exciting moments, she couldn't help but blush and drool.

Helena, who was still cleaning, soon heard screams coming from the bedroom.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, it hurts so much!"

Knowing she couldn't control the commander's mind, Helena came up with a clever idea: to play games, watch movies, and cook together with the commander.

The attention was successfully diverted, finally calming Shen Xin's restless heart.

"I wonder how Helena Meta is doing..."

Without any reason, just suddenly, Shen Xin, who was watching the new anime and hugging Helena, blurted out this sentence.

"I haven't seen her since that meeting..." Shen Xin muttered, staring at the ceiling.

"Don't worry, she'll be fine."

Helena gently rested her head on Shen Xin's chest, quietly feeling Shen Xin's heartbeat gradually quicken.

"Yes, the Eagle Union ship girls are all kind and understanding girls. It's a good thing Helena Meta isn't in Sakura Empire or Iron Blood, otherwise she would probably be dead and torn to pieces."

As Shen Xin spoke, she touched Helena's silky long hair and couldn't help but exclaim, "It feels so good! It's as smooth as silk!"

"Shall we fight the boss, Commander?"

Helena asked softly, her fingertips slowly drawing a circle on her chest.

"New equipment again?"

"Hmm... white stockings and sneakers."

Helena blushed and nodded shyly. Clearly, she seemed to have forgotten something important, and she was being led by the atmosphere.

"Let's go. My fatigue level is at its maximum. I'm not bragging, but my second brother is invincible. He's only good at killing enemies, how could he possibly be killed?"

Having perfectly mastered the code, Helena smiled sweetly.

"........"

Allen, who had been hiding in the bathroom, pressed his ear against the wall and listened intently, felt as if his body was being electrocuted.

She was prepared to be a substitute player, ready to step in when Helena was defeated.

All the equipment was ready. She deliberately chose the policewoman's uniform that she first met the commander, and even deliberately cut the thin strings on the buttons of the clothes to the point that they could instantly break the armor with a light pull.

She even specially chose a black bodysuit with the same specifications as the garden, along with attack speed shoes, and a black eye mask with lace trim that was already tied around her neck.

In just one second, she can perfectly switch between two personas.

However, this question about Helena Meta's whereabouts was like a bucket of cold water poured over Allen's head, chilling him to the bone.

She covered her mouth with both hands, trembling as she took a few steps back, never imagining that the commander would say such a thing.

Although it was clear to everyone that the Commander had only said it casually without thinking, it was precisely this unintentional remark that showed that Helena Meta had already deeply imprinted herself in the Commander's heart.

The bathroom door was quietly pushed open...

"Huh?? Allen???"

Helena was a little surprised. Was it already time? No, she should still have energy left and it shouldn't be time to change shifts yet.

"It's okay, I just went into the wrong room, hahaha."

Allen scratched his face, then forced a grin at Shen Xin and Helena, deliberately acting somewhat awkward and clumsy to avoid giving them away.

At that moment, to be honest, Allen really wanted to cry, and hated himself for being so weak, or rather, for having such a fragile mental fortitude.

Helena Meta was clearly the one in the wrong; she was the one who cheated and beat them to it. He himself did nothing wrong. He vented his anger for the White Eagle sisters and taught Helena Meta a lesson.

But why? Why did the commander's words cause me to break down so completely?

I can't understand it at all, even with my high emotional intelligence.

I pressed myself against the wall by the door, feeling my weight gradually decrease. My body slid down against the wall and landed on the ground as if weightless.

He hugged himself tightly. Although he was jealous, for some reason, Allen felt a surge of excitement. It was a strange feeling of being moved by the Commander.

I thought the commander was the kind of womanizing scumbag, but I never expected him to remember every single ship girl so clearly.

Shen Xin was naturally unaware of these things. He was also very curious, since his academic performance was mediocre before his reincarnation.

He couldn't even remember the capitals of countries around the world, let alone the capitals of provinces within China.

But for some reason, he remembered the names of the ship girls, which were so difficult to pronounce, with unparalleled clarity and precision. He remembered everything from the original artwork to the skin and even the smallest details on the clothes.

It's worth noting that Azur Lane has as many as 500 ship girls, and is even approaching 600.

Perhaps this is true love. Shen Xin didn't understand, nor did he want to understand. He just felt that this was the basic skill of a true fan player.

Allen gently rubbed his itchy fingers, then slowly exerted force in his calves, taut out muscle lines. The high heels were so uncomfortable that Allen couldn't help but kick them off.

Clutching tightly in her hand the commander's underwear that she had casually pulled from the bathroom, she covered her mouth and nose with her hands.

He inhaled deeply, the scent like fresh oxygen that could rejuvenate him, causing his body temperature to rise rapidly and his eyes to slowly roll upwards.

Only in this way, only in this way, can I temporarily stop thinking.
