I'm in the azure sky, and I have an anti-fraud app.

"Now close your eyes again, and I will give you another meditation experience."

"This time it will be more in-depth, so please close your eyes and feel it carefully."

Li Wei closed his eyes.

"Imagine that it is midday and you are on a high mountain. The golden sunlight is intense but not dazzling; your whole body is bathed in a gentle golden light, but it is still a little cool."

Livy followed Richelieu's words and began to imagine.

A vivid image appeared in his mind. Richelieu spoke slowly, and with each few words, the scene in Livy's mind became more concrete.

When Richelieu finished speaking his last words, Livy felt as if he were there.

"Commander, now imagine a sudden sun shower, the raindrops soaking your clothes and leaving water stains on your body—what would you do in this situation?"

Livy continued to follow the bishop's words, imagining that scene.

Not only that, he seemed to actually feel a dampness, the raindrops soaking his clothes and letting him feel a cool breeze surrounding him.

Richelieu's voice came to Li Wei's ear, that soft murmur again: "On this mountaintop, in this completely exposed place, does our commander have the courage to fight against the sun shower?"

of course!

Livy, inspired by Richelieu, felt so passionate that he wanted to stand up, adopt a heroic stance, and face the torrential rain head-on.

"Our commander was exceptionally brave. He faced the sun shower head-on, even standing up, spreading his arms wide, standing tall, and leaning forward, as if to confront all difficulties and obstacles."

Livy instinctively stood up and, following Richelieu's instructions, performed the corresponding movements and postures. In his own mind, he felt like a warrior, exceptionally majestic.

"You feel the sun shower becoming more intense, even threatening to turn into a downpour; the downpour washes over your body, and the cold wind lowers your body temperature."

Richelieu described it softly as he knelt before Livy, his nimble little hands seizing the opportunity to change Livy from "big" to "too".

Li Wei was completely unaware of all this.

In his mind, he was like a warrior facing the storm head-on.

...Is it reasonable for me to be soaked to the bone in this stormy weather?

It's reasonable to feel a bit cold in certain parts of your body, right?

“The sun has discovered a warrior like you.” Richelieu straightened his back: “He bathes you in the warm sunlight, allowing you to feel the warmth and passion of the sun.”

Li Wei truly felt a sense of warmth.

It's this part...

Something doesn't seem right...

How come it starts getting warm here?

Seeing that his commander seemed to have realized something, Richelieu gradually increased his intensity: "Even the fiercest storms of nature cannot defeat you, my commander—you have achieved victory through your own strength—"

...My victory?

My victory!

Li Wei wanted to take a step forward, but it seemed as if something was blocking his way.

Richelieu tried his best to salvage the situation, but Livy had already subconsciously opened his eyes.

The two looked at each other.

“…Richelio?”

Richelieu: ...

The cardinal remained silent, but his movements became more forceful.

"You..." Li Wei's eyes were filled with disbelief: "Could it be... this is the important thing you were talking about?"

"Yes, my commander, my god, my lord."

A divine radiance, incongruous with her actions, shone on Richelieu's expression, enough to make one forget her posture and deeds:

"As a bishop, isn't it my duty to serve my Lord?"

Li Wei: ...

No.

This is you kneeling before me.

What reasons and excuses did you use to bully me with two mountains?

So this is what you mean by "wetting"?

Is the warmth you're describing provided here?

Li Wei said he was shivering and cold.

As a commander, when will I be able to stand up for myself and stop being bullied by ship girls?

Richelieu: "Now that you know the truth, Commander, I won't pretend anymore."

The Archbishop of Iris finally displayed the demeanor befitting a leader in a high position.

"Cooperate with me obediently, and I will take you back once, and keep what you did today a secret."

"Afterwards, I will confess to you and let you do whatever you want."

"If you insist on resisting... Hmph, three times, and I'll tell Algeria—Commander, you don't want the ship girls to know you've made such a fool of yourself here, do you?"

Li Wei sat down on the sofa, his face full of "heroic sacrifice":

"Come on, hurry up."

Chapter Seven: The Punishment of Sirius

Li Wei gritted his teeth and crossed out the entry for January 8th in his diary.

That despicable Richelieu.

They actually used this excuse to ambush me.

He has suffered two consecutive defeats.

Can't lose anymore.

First they lost to Belfast, then to Richelieu, and after that they had nothing left to lose!

Li Wei opened the system interface and saw today's tasks.

"Today's mission: Accept the spa service request from Sirius and uphold your principles."

"Mission Reward: Improved physical fitness."

"Mission determination: If Sirius successfully obtains the reward, the mission fails and the reward is forfeited."

Sirius?

Another spa?

Fortunately, it's a little different from the previous missions.

They only asked to receive, not to enjoy.

Li Wei frowned slightly, suddenly understanding something.

I knew it! Belfast, you with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, how come you're resorting to such methods?

So Sirius applied first, and you intercepted it halfway through, huh?

It's a bit odd that the usually shrewd, capable, and meticulous head maid would suddenly come up with something like this.

But if we change it to Sirius, it would perfectly fit the image of this silly maid who can't do anything but seduce the commander.

Ha, I've figured out all your tricks. Don't think I'll fall for the same thing twice.

Sure enough, just like in Belfast last time, Sirius also personally messaged Levi, hoping to help him recover from his fatigue at the massage parlor.

Li Wei initially wanted to refuse outright, but worried that it wouldn't count as "enjoying spa services from Sirius" and would lead to his mission failure, so he agreed to Sirius's request.

only……

This time it was Li Wei's turn to tamper with things.

How can I satisfy the ship girls without missing out on the rewards myself?

Of course, a few small props would be needed.

As for where the props came from...

"Belfast, what are your thoughts on this?"

"Master, what do you need these for...?"

"No need to ask any more questions, just get ready."

"Master, we often find these in the maids' quarters. If you need them, I'll go get them for you."

Does Sirius have it too?

"……some."

"Then let's use her own."

"Yes."

That's how we got the props needed.

In addition to that, there are some other things to arrange.

In the afternoon, Li Wei returned to the beauty salon.

Sirius, dressed in her maid outfit, accentuated her curves, trying her best to highlight her strengths.

“My proud master, welcome.” Sirius bowed. “Your unworthy maid also wishes to help you recover from your fatigue.”

Li Wei nodded: "Then I'll leave it to you."

The same room as before, the same process as before.

What's different is the ship girls, and also the outcome of this matter.

"My proud master."

Sirius knew nothing about her future. Just like Belfast the day before, she pushed a cart full of bottles and jars into the room and locked the door behind her.

Li Wei pretended not to notice Sirius's subtle actions.

Girl, you're blocking your own way out.

Li Wei lay down on the massage bed with practiced ease, not forgetting to ask Sirius, "Should we apply massage oil this time too?"

“My proud master.” Sirius’s eyes gleamed with excitement. “The head maid just told me that a more convenient product has appeared at the beauty salon. Would you like to try it?”

Li Wei remained noncommittal: "Oh?"

“My proud master, please look.” Sirius picked up a spray bottle: “This is the product. It’s said to have the same effect as massage oil… Of course, if you want to use massage oil, Sirius has no problem with that either.”

Li Wei waved his hand: "Let me see."

Sirius handed the spray to Li Wei.

Given Belfast's previous "bad record," Levi wasn't entirely comfortable trusting the head maid. What if she had set up another trap for him, colluding with Sirius to "scam" him? He'd be in real trouble.

So Li Wei decided to check it himself.

He sprayed some on his hand, tested it, and only after confirming that it had no effect on him did he calm down a bit—between other ship girls and the commander, no one would choose the commander over the other.

"Sirius, come here."

"My proud master~, what can I do for you?" Sirius leaned closer, his broad chest putting a bit of pressure on Li Wei.

Li Wei sprayed the spray directly onto Sirius.

"Eek!" Sirius exclaimed in surprise, "My proud master, what do you mean by this?"

Li Wei crossed his arms and watched Sirius change.

Within seconds, Sirius was completely exhausted and could only barely maintain his posture by collapsing into Levi's arms.

“My proud master…”

"Sirius, I ask, you answer, understand?"
