"Hmph, as expected of my husband, his physical fitness is indeed extraordinary. The speed of his actions this time was so fast that I didn't even see it. He is definitely not someone that ordinary weaklings can look up to."

The man released his grip, proudly pulled down the brim of his hat, and smiled.

"However... Helena..."

The company seemed to sense something, walked up to Helena, circled around her, then leaned close to her cheek, sniffed carefully, and frowned.

"You have a strange smell... especially on your face and thighs... It's so weird."

This series of actions made Shen Xin's heart jump into her throat.

"Oops!"

"Because I went to clean and tidy the back garden this morning, I think I picked up this smell there. Also, I accidentally cut my finger, haha..."

Helena explained with a smile.

"Oh, it's photinia. That explains why the smell seemed familiar."

The company suddenly realized and slapped its palm.

At this moment, Shen Xin finally understood completely.

This young woman from the port area really doesn't know anything.

As is widely known, the flower language of photinia is "yue".

This bursting forth of life, in theory, should be something that everyone except the destroyer and Little Jiajia should know very well.

The port area plants these flowers simply to help the ship girls relieve the stress they have from their daily lives, which Shen Xin can understand.

But I didn't expect the company to be so naive; they knew absolutely nothing about it.

“Well then, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go now. My husband, I’ll go to your room again tonight, and we’ll pray together for the birth of our child.”

"Ah...ah, okay, okay." Shen Xin nodded repeatedly, already imagining a whole scheme of switching the prince for a cat.

You mean Helena's child, little Helena? Trying to impersonate and replace a small business... that seems a bit too difficult.

"Then, farewell."

The company strode away with great flair, stirring up a gentle breeze.

"Is this how you all scam companies?"

Looking at the incredibly dashing and handsome figure of the man, Shen Xin felt a little worried.

"There's no way around it; the truth might be incredibly cruel to her."

Helena shook her head helplessly.

"We did this to protect her. After all, the company is the pillar of our White Eagle. It absolutely cannot collapse or fall."

"But... you can fool her for a while, but not forever. She'll find out sooner or later."

"That will be the commander's responsibility then, and it has nothing to do with us."

Helena winked playfully and adorably at Shen Xin.

It's true, I've lost to them.

Just a second ago she was immersed in blissful moments, but now Shen Xin was already having a headache.

I never expected that I would plant such a time bomb in the first place.

"Never mind, there's always a way out," Shen Xin thought, staring at Helena's delicate face, her mouth involuntarily drooling.

Helena, you smell so good.

In episode 13, I'll tell Jiajia that your account is gone!

Looking at Helena's delicate face, I hadn't seen any sadness on her face these past two days. I never expected that Helena's honest and cheerful mother would be so beautiful and moving.

When Helena noticed Shen Xin staring at her, she naturally turned her head away, and Shen Xin quickly looked away.

"Eh~"

Helena's lips curled up meaningfully as she stared intently at Shen Xin, slowly rising on her tiptoes and quickly bringing her face closer.

"Is there something on my face?"

Shen Xin asked curiously.

"Mmm~" Helena shook her head happily.

"I just think, Commander, you look exceptionally handsome today~ Hehe."

As Helena spoke, she looked at the bushes beside her and suddenly had a brilliant idea.

Come on~ follow me~

Without a word, before Shen Xin could react, Helena pulled him into the dense bushes nearby. After rolling around several times, Shen Xin found himself locked up by Helena.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! That's dangerous!"

Shen Xin was a little nervous, not expecting Helena to go so far.

"What's there to be afraid of? It's just the Commander and me here~" Helena's tone instantly became alluring.

However, with the sound of a camera shutter, both of them felt a chill run down their spines.

Completely unaware that a grizzly was hiding in the grass.

"Ah... Ahhhhhh..."

Gridley unintentionally captured the moment the two had just interacted.

Startled, he plopped down on the ground and shuffled backward.

"I...I don't know anything...I, I didn't mean to, I, I just wanted to take a picture of Little Jaja...Who, who knows about the Commander and Miss Helena...."

Shen Xin's mind went completely blank. Now, not only was she caught red-handed, but the worst part was that this little girl, Gridley, had taken photos as evidence.

What to do? What to do? Gridley is a destroyer! Even though I'm a scumbag, I can't possibly attack a destroyer! Wouldn't that make me a beast?

"Hmph~" Helena seemed to have been prepared. Instead of getting up, she moved seductively, like a leopard hunting its prey, swaying her slender waist as she slowly crawled toward Gridley.

"Give it to me!" Helena stretched out her right hand, demanding the camera.

"Uh, okay, okay, wait until I develop the photos..."

"Who said they wanted photos?"

Helena's tone suddenly changed. Because Shen Xin couldn't see Helena's face, she had no idea what Helena's state was like at that moment.

However, in Gridley's eyes, Helena was undoubtedly a demon who wanted to devour him.

"Give me the whole camera!"

"You, you can't do this!!! I, I have evidence! Be careful, I'll report you, I'll tell Jiajia, and I'll even exaggerate and say that you called Jiajia a file!"

"Huh? Is that so?!"

He had thought that this threat would intimidate Helena, but it backfired. Helena was emanating black energy, her eyes turned red, and she grabbed Gridley's head with superhuman strength.

"If you dare say another word, I'll crush your dog's head!"

"Hmm............"

Gridley was completely terrified; the grass beneath him instantly became damp.

Completely unprepared for Helena's sudden transformation into this terrifying battle maniac, Shen Xin quickly stood up, grabbed Helena from behind, and pulled her into her arms.

"Don't do this... Helena..."

The moment Helena was embraced, she had already returned to normal, and with a soft call, the black aura that had been emanating from her instantly dissipated.

Sure enough, only the Commander's gentle voice could dispel Helena's unease and suspicion... Without the Commander, she didn't know what she would do... Don't go anywhere, just stay by Helena's side, okay?

Although they managed to calm Gridley down, who was crying from fright, the problem remained unresolved.

Gridley's basic equipment was completely ruined by Helena's fright, so we can't just let her go back to the dormitory like that.

“Here…” Helena seemed to have already noticed this, and shoved the equipment into the commander’s hand.

"Let her change. After all, I'm the one who caused this," Helena said, turning her head to the side, still somewhat embarrassed.

It's still hot...

Shen Xin swallowed hard, hesitated for a moment, and then handed it to Gridley, urging her to change quickly.

One minute later, watching Gridley's departing figure, Shen Xin breathed a sigh of relief; the matter was finally resolved peacefully.

However, I couldn't help but look at Helena's skirt.

Um... now...

"Commander, do you like me like this?"

Helena suddenly leaned close to her ear and exhaled a breath of warm air.

My ear tingled, and then my body felt like it was being electrocuted.

"If the Commander likes it, that's fine~"

"Never mind, let's go back first."

Shen Xin deliberately pushed Helena away to maintain a safe distance.

"Eh? Commander, you're suddenly acting all innocent. Don't you know that last time Mingmiao sold basic equipment in the port, she lost everything, not even her underwear? For us, as long as we have stockings that the Commander likes on our legs, that's enough~"

"Okay, okay, I understand..."

Shen Xin quickly interrupted Helena, feeling that if she continued talking like this, she would be led astray again.

On the way back to the base, Shen Xin leisurely put her hands behind her head, watching the ship girls and the barbarian chicks decorating and bustling about. Considering what had just happened with Gridley, she couldn't help but ask a question.

"By the way, is there any special event scheduled for today? Everyone seems so nervous and busy, otherwise Gridley wouldn't be hiding in the bushes to film."

Helena didn't respond immediately; instead, she slowed her pace, which made Shen Xin even more curious.

Sure enough, something must have happened, otherwise Helen wouldn't have reacted this way.

"Hmm... indeed, because today is the day the Sirens expeditionary force returns to port."

"Expeditionary Force?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Xin immediately became interested.

To be honest, during his time here, he really hoped to at least meet each and every ship girl, but after observing them for the past few days...

He discovered that several ship girls he cared about and liked very much had never appeared.

Given how large the port area is, it's understandable that it's not easy to run into someone, but I still feel a little disappointed.

Now that I think about it, it turns out they went out as an expeditionary force to fight the Sirens, which makes everything make sense.

Shen Xin began to feel a sense of anticipation.

"Should we go and greet them?"

When he said those words, Shen Xin was actually unsure of himself. He had only meant to be polite, or rather, to test the waters, since he had just given her the ring and made vows of eternal love.

He suddenly acted so excited and expectant at this moment, as if he had become a scumbag.

But after thinking about it, if we don't meet, I'll soon be transferred to the Sakura Empire. It will be at least a year before I can go to the Eagle Union again, which is too long.

Besides, since I am the only male in the world, I should at least have some say... right?

"No, no need... I think the expeditionary force must be very tired after they return... I think it's better for the commander not to disturb them and to let them rest. If the commander is really curious, I can arrange for you to meet with them in the next schedule."

Helena spoke calmly, her expression seemingly devoid of any emotion, and one could even sense a hint of coldness in her attitude.

Hearing this, Shen Xin breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she hadn't offended Helena, but she also noticed that Helena was behaving strangely.

Although it was only a minor change, Shen Xin noticed that Helena's body seemed to tremble slightly as she spoke.

A slightly melancholic smile began to bloom on her face again, but something felt off.

Episode 14 Eren: Oh, Commander, you're blushing. Let me see.

If it weren't for the emotional blows Helena's advances had dealt to her earlier, coupled with the breakthrough in their relationship these past few days, she would never have noticed these subtle changes in her facial expressions.
