"No, don't say that. As long as the Commander comes back, that's all that matters." Helena wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes and said happily.

Yes, she didn't care. As long as the commander returned safely, that was more important than anything else.

"Tell me honestly, Commander, what are you holding in your hand?"

"What? What? What?" Shen Xin changed her tone three times in a sarcastic manner.

"Do you think I have cataracts, since you're my mother?"

Becky stared intently at the pair of high heels in Shen Xin's hand, still steaming hot, biting her lip in annoyance. She hadn't expected yesterday's scene to be repeated today.

Becky recognized the Yorktown high heels from yesterday simply by the smell of disinfectant on them, because other ship girl shoes wouldn't have that smell.

But the pungent, sour smell emanating from those high heels today made her frown.

"If you don't explain yourself clearly today, you won't get any food!"

"Oh, really? I'll just consider it a way to lose weight!"

Shen Xin looked completely indifferent. She even solemnly put the Guam high heels in front of her nose, took a deep sniff, frowned for a moment, and then revealed a look of sudden enlightenment and satisfaction.

"Oh ho yeah~"

The smell was a faint odor of sweat mixed with the smell of leather and perfume.

"You, you, you, you!!!! Here you go again!! You're clearly just a nobody!! How dare you be so arrogant! I think all you deserve is to reward yourself with their stinky shoes!"

Becky was trembling with anger, jumping up and down and yelling.

"What are you talking about? This is definitely a lunchbox too."

Shen Xin said in a very serious tone.

"Mrs. Yorktown's is for serving main courses, and Miss Guam's is naturally for serving side dishes. Oh, and if I may, I'd also like to use Helena's high heels as drinking cups."

"Disgusting~"

Helena gave a coquettish laugh, lightly punched her chest with her fist, and her face instantly turned red.

"Well... it's not impossible... after all... I have plenty of shoes..."

Helena pressed her cheek against Shen Xin's chest, feeling the warm heartbeat.

With a splash, Becky fainted from anger, and the floor was once again covered in water.

Helena, who was used to this scene, still held Shen Xin's waist tightly with her right hand, while her left hand skillfully took out her phone from her chest and quickly dialed the number of the Goddess of the Hearth with a single finger.

Episode 28: Black Mercury, your socks smell awful.

A month has passed so quickly.

Thanks to the powerful medicine developed by White Eagle, Shen Xin did not feel any discomfort in her body.

Shen Xin looked at her palm, clenched her fist, and even felt that the past month had passed too quickly. She had finally gotten used to being at White Eagle, but she didn't expect to have to part ways so soon.

On the important day of handing over her to him, Helena and Helena Meta were carefully tidying up her clothes, tying her shoes, smoothing out the wrinkles in her uniform, and adjusting the position of her hat. Helena Meta took a few steps back and carefully examined every corner of Shen Xin, making sure everything was perfect before showing a satisfied smile.

Before the handover ceremony between Eagle Union and Sakura Empire, the ship girls from the Ember faction arrived first to pick up Helena Meta.

Both sides have a general understanding of the Helena Meta issue, and Washington personally engaged in a heated debate with Black Enterprises across the screen.

"Admittedly, we were in the wrong. Since Helena Meta has gone too far, we will deal with her properly. If you still find it unforgivable, we can consider giving the last week of December to White Eagle."

"You said it, I didn't."

Washington's eyes lit up, and he immediately thought that corporate meta was nothing special.

The negotiating table is the most scheming and cutthroat place, even more brutal than the real battlefield, where both sides are cunning and calculating how to maximize their own interests.

The person who first yields and makes concessions at the negotiating table has already lost completely.

Moreover, the last week of December involves the most important Christmas holiday, which is a rare time. Would the Ember faction really be willing to make concessions to this extent in order to avoid a complete falling out?

"Was this your personal decision, or the result of a joint discussion?"

Thinking of this, Washington lowered his voice and asked curiously.

"This is out of my personal will."

The shady company responded indifferently.

"Huh? Aren't you afraid the other ship girls will object?"

"No one can question my thoughts unless she's tired of living."

The shady company arrogantly raised its head.

"Don't compare me to those useless guys on your side who only know how to TTK. The love we Ember ship girls have for the Commander is beyond your imagination. In just one week, we can double the number of people in our faction through the Commander!"

The moment the black company uttered those words, Washington felt a chill run down his spine; the intimidating power was palpable even through a screen.

There was no further communication; the black market's communications were simply cut off.

"Hmph... As expected, they're just a bunch of scum clinging to life amidst the ashes..."

Washington switched the position of his crossed legs, a few beads of cold sweat trickling down his temples.

This is the Ember faction. Although they are few in number, each of them is a terrifying force capable of taking on a thousand men. It seems that she has won a great victory at the negotiating table, but in reality, she has still lost.

It was obvious that the benefits he had obtained were not through negotiation, but rather bestowed upon him by the Ember faction.

Dressed and ready, Shen Xin stepped onto the deck, only to be stunned by what she saw.

The Embers' ships had been stationed here for a long time. They were completely different from the ships I knew. The Embers' ships had an indescribable sense of darkness and decay.

The ship looked dilapidated, clearly having been through a brutal war; however, the remaining holes were not repaired using conventional methods.

Instead, it was filled with a dark substance that looked very much like a Kremlin-style creature, making the entire ship look more like an assimilated alien creature.

The five meta ship girls standing at the connection point are Rodney, Takao, Memphis, Repulse, and Mercury Memorial.

Even with the company, Georgia, and Kearsarge by her side, this imposing aura made Shen Xin's legs go weak for a moment.

Helena Meta didn't say anything more, not even goodbye. Instead, she walked straight to her own ship. Watching Helena Meta's departing figure and the sparkling ring on her ring finger, Shen Xin felt a mix of emotions.

As if sensing her thoughts, Helena Meta suddenly turned around and met Shen Xin's gaze.

Shen Xin's heart skipped a beat. That look in her eyes was filled with endless sorrow and pity.

"Hey, hey, hey, is that the legendary commander?"

Mercury Memorial Meta, with a mischievous expression, covered her triangular mouth, which resembled a Doritos cone, with her small hand, and her words were full of sarcasm, directly breaking the solemn atmosphere.

"Ugh... so lame. I feel like if you fought me, it would be over in 10 seconds. You're just a weakling, a complete noob."

This little devil successfully caught Shen Xin's attention.

"Well, I thought it was someone else, but it turns out it's a Mercury commemorative meta."

Seeing the Mercury memorial that was full of self-mockery, Shen Xin couldn't help but laugh.

"What's wrong~ Why are you looking over here~ You little brat~, you don't happen to like me, do you?"

Mercury Memorial Meta intensifies her attacks, naturally moving closer to the Commander. She wants to see him break down and cry because of her words. If he doesn't cry, she'll go all out.

"Fu! Fu!"

Mercury Memorial Meta suddenly sensed the change in the Commander's body and subconsciously took a step back.

This strange feeling came from Shen Xin's lower body.

Although Shen Xin didn't speak, she could clearly feel the battle aura emanating from his lower body, which had coalesced into a single energy that formed a single character.

"war!"

"Your socks...."

Shen Xin spoke coldly, her eyes fixed on the Mercury Memorial Meta's black and gray leather boots.

"Huh? Socks...socks? You...commander, what are you trying to say?"

Mercury Memorial Meta stood with his hands on his hips, leaned forward slightly, and raised his right eye slightly, trying his best to stay upright with his willpower.

"It must smell really bad. No wonder I could smell the herring can from a mile away. Turns out the stench was coming from your feet."

Shen Xin curled the right corner of her mouth upwards, offering a sharp retort.

Mercury Memorial Meta was taken aback. Good grief, he actually dared to talk back?!

"What... pervert! Loli fetish!!! You're the one with stinky feet!!! Baka baka baka!!"

She was panicking, panicking, she was really panicking, she couldn't care about anything else, and Mercury Memorial Meta started jumping up and down cursing.

"Don't get so excited. I'll give you another buff: I wish you'll never grow taller. Why is this old woman acting all sensible? You little washboard."

Shen Xin raised her hand and gently pressed down on Mercury Memorial Meta's head, ostensibly signaling her to calm down, but in reality, she intensified her verbal persuasion, going all out instantly.

"........."

This conversation left all the ship girls on both sides speechless.

But Becky couldn't help but cover her tummy and laugh loudly, her little mouth grinning so wide she couldn't stop.

Finally, someone else has had the same experience as me. This feeling is just too good!

Upon hearing this, Mercury Memorial Meta felt as if struck by lightning, as if a ten million-volt bolt of divine punishment had struck from the sky, completely shattering his already weak defensive barrier.

Mercury Memorial Meta felt a lump in her throat, took a gentle sniff, and her tear ducts instantly broke down, as if a floodgate had been opened, and she began to wail loudly.

"Waaaaah! Commander, Commander is bullying me!! I, I have a super great figure, okay!!! At least 10 times bigger than Little Jiajia's!"

"........"

Shen Xin, on the other hand, seemed completely unconcerned. He was just deliberately saying the opposite to make Mercury Commemorate Meta break down. This little brat's level was still too low. Shen Xin had already begun to carefully examine the girls in the Meta camp in front of her.

However, at this moment, Saratoga is the most speechless.

"Wait... how the hell did I get shot again for no reason?"

Little Jiajia instinctively covered her chest with both hands, frowning and scolding.

Cleveland looked at Helena beside him, somewhat speechless.

"What's going on...? It seems like the Commander has been completely ruined this past month? His personality is totally different from before?"

"Mmm~ No, that's not true~" Helena gently shook her head, her calves slightly tense.

"Commander, you've grown quite a bit~"

Thinking back to his bedroom, where he was subjected to intense scolding and reprimands from Becky every day, the Commander went from being driven to the brink of collapse and depression by the daily scolding to gradually developing an invincible thick skin. He also recalled how he would lie awake in the middle of the night, trying to figure out how to fight back and retort to Becky, and he even tried to offer some reliable suggestions.

Those countless moments of pure joy and happiness are the most precious treasures. Thinking of this, Helena couldn't help but smile happily, then brushed her long hair, which had been ruffled by the sea breeze.

I really, really want to live happily with the Commander forever.

Episode 29 Akagi: I won't hold back.

On the other side of the embers, the Mercury Memorial Meta has already begun with Becky offering a very friendly greeting with a high level of "Mommy" content.

Although it was impossible to discern the topic of their discussion, it was easy to guess that their words were exceptionally heated. Both sides used the other's mother as the center and their immediate family members as the radius, dried abalone as their main weapon, and the taste of canned herring as their primary skill. They also used verbs and nouns specific to fields such as ethics, livestock, body parts, pets, and the funeral industry to engage in active communication.

Georgia quietly pulled Shen Xin aside and, without saying a word, pulled her into his arms.

"Before we part, I still have to remind you of something, Commander."

Georgia had a knowing look on his face, and although his actions were lewd, his tone was very serious.

"Once you arrive in Sakura Empire, you must be wary of the women. The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to deceive you. You must pay special attention to Taihou, Suzuya, Jun'yō, and Atago."

Georgia paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and then added a sentence.

"The most important point, and the one we can least trust, is Akagi. She is definitely the most dangerous woman in the Sakura Empire!"

Georgia wanted to give more instructions, but as soon as she narrowed her eyes, she sensed a powerful killing intent.

Georgia wasn't the only one to sense this murderous aura; the ship girls of the meta faction also did.

"I think we should stop arguing, because an uninvited guest has already arrived."

Kirov Meta, with a serious expression, stopped Becky and Mercury Memorial Meta, who were still offering friendly greetings.

At the same time, everyone tacitly looked towards the right side of the deck.
