"Quite a few~"
Drake counted on his fingers: "Royal Fortune, Mary Celeste, Vida, Golden Hind..."
"Oh...it's those sailing ship girls..."
“Yes,” Drake nodded. “Most of them started as pirates; we’re birds of a feather!”
“…That’s called having similar interests.” Levi corrected Drake’s choice of words: “Birds of a feather flock together is a derogatory term, don’t use it on yourself.”
"Hehe..." Drake scratched the back of his head: "Anyway, Commander, you can understand me."
"They don't really like the lively atmosphere in the port area, and often spend the whole day on the surrounding deserted islands."
Li Wei could understand. After all, she was a sailing ship girl, and her "era" was a bit too far removed from that of other ship girls, so it wouldn't be easy for them to have common topics... probably?
As the commander, Li Wei had the obligation and responsibility to understand the situation of the ship girls: "Are they having a hard time adapting to life in the port?"
“I’m not having any trouble adjusting.” Drake shook his head. “I just simply prefer being with the sailing ship girls.”
“Besides, they have more than one secret base; that deserted island was just a place where we met up.” Drake suddenly realized something: “Commander…you didn’t know that, did you?”
Li Wei felt a little guilty: "Don't know what?"
“There are actually many small uninhabited islands around the port area.” Drake had a “you really didn’t know” look on his face. “It’s not just the sailing ship girls; many ship girls will find an uninhabited island to spend a leisurely day when they are bored.”
"For example, you?"
"Well... I still prefer being with the Commander... Ahahaha..."
Li Wei asked one last question: "Won't my sudden visit affect you?"
"They're overjoyed that the commander is coming, what impact could it possibly have?" Drake suddenly chimed in, "Of course, they might be so excited they can't sleep all night."
Li Wei: ...I hope it's just that I'm too excited to sleep all night, and not some other reason...
Of course, Li Wei wouldn't be afraid to face the challenge of ship girls.
Li Wei pulled his hand back: "Alright, let's go then, let's head to the deserted island!"
"Yay!" Drake, ignoring the mess of buttons on his clothes that Levi had undone, exclaimed, "Let's go, let's go to the deserted island to watch the sunset. It'll be much more spectacular than here surrounded by buildings!"
Chapter 109 The Saint Martin Wants to Play Games
This was Li Wei's first time experiencing sailing at sea with ship girls.
He hugged Drake from behind, standing on Drake's ship rigging, as if riding a sea motorcycle, speeding across the sea.
Feeling the sea breeze brush against your face and the seawater splashing around your feet is truly a novel experience.
Drake was worried that Levi wouldn't be able to adapt, so he didn't dare to drive at full speed; but even at only a dozen knots, Levi reached the deserted island that Drake had mentioned just a few minutes later.
This tiny uninhabited island is no bigger than two football fields, and its entire boundary can be seen at a glance. The island is sparsely vegetated, with only a few large trees in the middle that I can't identify.
A figure sat on the beach; her originally white wings were tinged with gold by the setting sun, proclaiming her identity.
The sailing ship girl, HMS Saint Martin.
“O one who shares the golden radiance, you have finally appeared. Well… I mean, you have finally come.”
Levi disembarked from Drake's ship's rigging and stepped onto the beach, where the Saint Martin had already risen and approached.
The girl had yellow and white hair, and a red mark on her forehead; she had a pair of wings on her back, and her upper body was dressed in rather revealing clothing, with a deep V-neck that went all the way up to her navel.
Her lower body was slit high like a cheongsam, and she wore a pair of footed socks. Although she was barefoot on the sand, her feet were spotless and crystal clear.
Seeing that Levi's gaze was fixed on his wings, the Saint Martin flapped its wings slightly: "These two pairs of wings... are a gift left behind after the supreme golden radiance shines upon them. Do you wish to touch them?"
"May I?"
"of course can."
Li Wei decisively reached out and touched it.
It feels similar to ordinary feathers, but it's denser and finer, somewhat like the top-of-the-line down comforter from Li Wei's previous life.
Saint Martin's eyes held a hint of anticipation: "How is it?"
Li Wei gave a thumbs up: "Great."
"Well……"
Having received praise from the commander, the Saint Martin smiled happily and led Levi to their previous position.
Drake didn't see any other sailing ship girls: "San Martin, are you the only one here now?"
“Yes.” The Saint Martin nodded. “If they knew the commander was here now, they would regret not being there.”
"Indeed, since they're not here, there's nothing we can do about it."
"Ah ha ha……"
Li Wei chuckled and followed the San Martin back to the campfire.
The campfire was fully equipped with food, fresh water, cooking utensils, and other necessities. Li Wei could also see tents and other living areas not far away.
A grill pan sat on the campfire, on which were several small fish, already cooked and emitting a delicious aroma of roasted meat.
Saint Martin picked up a skewer of grilled fish and handed it to Levi: "Commander, it's just been grilled...would you like to try some?"
Li Wei took the grilled fish, took a small bite, and the rich aroma of the succulent fish immediately filled his mouth. As he took a big bite, he asked about the type of fish: "What kind of fish is this?"
“These are small fish I just caught. I don’t know what kind they are, but they taste delicious.” St. Martin thought for a moment: “Maybe they’re a type of sea bream.”
“The sailing ship girls seem to have a special talent for fishing.” Drake sat next to Levi, sandwiching him between him and St. Martin. “In the time it takes me to catch one fish, they can catch several.”
Li Wei exclaimed in amazement, "So amazing!"
“After all… finding food at sea is an essential skill for us.” The Saint Martin handed Levi another grilled fish skewered on a steel stick: “Enjoy it. You can catch a fish like this in just a few minutes.”
Li Wei ate too fast before and only now noticed the steel skewers used to skewer the fish.
“They used to use wood, which they had to whittle before use, and then they would want to throw it away after use. Not only would they have to look for it next time, but it was also bad for the environment.”
Drake noticed Levi's gaze and explained simply, "Later, we just started using steel skewers. After using them a few times, we could just take them back and remelt them."
Li Wei: ...Shouldn't it be cleaning?
What does it mean to directly remelt and recast it?
The Saint Martin looked at the commander with a hint of nervousness in her eyes: "Commander... don't you like it?"
"No, I just thought it would make things more convenient for you guys." Li Wei thought for a moment, "I'll go back and have Da Vinci and the other ship girls research it to see if we can use rapidly biodegradable materials to make the skewers, so they can be easily used and then thrown away without polluting the environment."
"Thank you, Commander~"
"There's no need to thank me," Li Wei said, taking a bite of fish. "It's what I should do."
"If you have any problems, remember to come to me. I am your commander."
"Okay... Chu~"
The Saint Martin gently kissed Levi's cheek, expressing its feelings.
Li Wei swallowed the grilled fish in his mouth. He wanted to wipe his mouth, but when he saw that the Saint Martin's red lips were also glistening with oil, he simply kissed it directly.
"Well……"
It's a pity that a piece of fish in the mouth of the Saint Martin has unknowingly become the focus of a fight between the two.
In the end, Levi launched a surprise attack from another direction, seizing the high ground and securing the victory. The Saint Martin trembled involuntarily, and Levi snatched the fish from its mouth and ate it.
"commander……"
"uh-huh?"
Li Wei thought that Saint Martin was unhappy with his ear behavior and was about to apologize when he noticed that Saint Martin was biting a piece of fish and slightly pouting his lips.
……
The sun quietly sets, and the moon rises in its place.
"Commander, look, the starry sky!"
Finally, Drake felt he was being too passive and interrupted the game between the two. At Drake's guidance, the three of them simultaneously looked up at the deep starry sky.
The Milky Way cascades down like a waterfall, which is truly spectacular.
Li Wei felt a cool sensation on his body, as if he were truly being hit by a stream of water.
He looked down and saw a pair of crystal-clear little feet stepping on his weak spot. The Saint Martin was staring at its little feet, seemingly practicing how to please the commander.
"Well……"
"Commander, will you like it?"
"of course."
The St. Martin's movements were gentle, not intense enough to be exhausting, but still enjoyable for Levi.
Li Wei held Saint Martin's little feet, feeling the cool, night-like skin.
"If the Commander likes it... I want to try it too..."
Drake, who was watching with envy, joined the two of them.
Li Wei lay on the beach, looking up at the night sky as clear as water, enjoying the service of the two ship girls.
"Unfortunately, it's getting a bit late now."
Drake's tone held a hint of regret: "Otherwise..."
"No, it's not too late at all."
Li Wei, with his arms around the two ship girls, said, "This is my first time experiencing being under the stars..."
Chapter 110 Li Wei: Let me properly thank you both.
As soon as Li Wei opened his eyes, he saw the affectionate eyes of the Saint Martin.
Last night, Li Wei finally tried "using the sky and earth as a blanket," and he said it felt pretty good.
Especially under the starry sky, the starlight shining on the ship girls' faces creates a unique beauty.
"Good morning, Commander."
"morning……"
Li Wei's words were abruptly cut off by the Saint Martin.
After a sweet good morning kiss,
Looking at the wings of the Saint Martin, an idea suddenly popped into Levi's head.
"My wings must make it cool when they fan out? Wings aren't used like that! But if the Commander wants to try it? Well... huff, huff... how is it, comfortable?"
"Comfortable……"
Li Wei was enjoying the fan service from the ship girl.
"Commander, time to get up and have breakfast!"
Drake, carrying a box of food, headed straight for Levi and Saint Martin.
Li Wei took out his phone and glanced at the date.
It's already February 8th, and my phone is full of unread messages. If they were printed on paper, they would probably make a thick stack.
Li Wei glanced through the messages; most of them were from the maids expressing their concerns about his physical condition yesterday—his escape using his time-stopping ability had finally brought the maids to their senses.
A small portion of them were unaware of what had happened yesterday, such as the ship girls from outer ports like Northern Union, who were giving Li Wei their routine reports on port affairs.
Li Wei glanced at the San Martin beside him and felt like he had "just escaped one tiger's den only to fall into another."
Although it wasn't as outrageous as having to deal with a dozen maids at the same time, he did indeed give San Martin and Drake his all last night, watering them quite a bit.
Especially the Saint Martin.
Drake's interest lay more in adventure than in command; in the latter half of the night, the Saint Martin simply enveloped the two of them with its wings, making Levi completely unaware of the passage of time.
"Commander, I found fresh berries!" Drake slammed the box he was carrying down next to Levi and plopped down. "I don't know why, but this is the first time I've ever seen boxes of berries floating on the beach here!"
Li Wei quickly replied to a few of the most important messages, then stood up and immediately saw the box full of berries.
...Why does this box look so familiar?
