"No, I'm fine, Commander, don't worry. It's just that Karenina said there's a good chance we'll enter the consciousness space with you, Commander, that's why I asked."
Seeing that Li Chaoge was worried about whether there was a problem with his consciousness, Lucia blinked and immediately shook her head to explain the reason.
"..."
Karenina, standing beside her, slapped her forehead in exasperation. "That stupid Lucia! Who says their intentions so bluntly?"
However, after glancing at Selena, who also didn't find anything wrong and was looking at Li Chaoge with great anticipation, she sighed inwardly.
Perhaps in their eyes, she was the abnormal one.
"Did Karenina tell you this?"
Li Chaoge was taken aback and looked at Karenina with a puzzled expression.
However, at this moment, Karenina had already crossed her arms and legs, turned her head to look elsewhere, and only showed him her profile.
"Is Karenina ignoring me? I had the same thought, wanting Karenina to help me figure out how to connect with your sea of consciousness."
Li Chaoge watched as Karenina changed from her cat-tail maid outfit into casual clothes. Her silver-white twin ponytails draped over her shoulders, and her simple, fitted trousers couldn't hide her straight, long, and shapely legs. He smiled slightly.
"Kalenina?"
"Kalenina."
Lucia and Selena immediately looked at Karenina and told them that Karenina was the only one whose sea of consciousness could connect with the commander's consciousness space. Now they were asking her to try, but she refused.
Although their initial goal was simply to spend more time with the Commander, now that the Commander has the ability to time, this mental link doesn't seem to be very necessary. However, they would still be very happy to meet the Commander in their dreams.
"You're not kidding me, are you?"
Karenina ignored her two teammates who were only interested in getting close to Li Chaoge and looked at Li Chaoge with a wary expression.
While getting close to this guy isn't a problem—she's been single for ages and can't marry anyone else—being deceived by him would be a big problem. She's not as easily swayed by his words as Lucia and the others, and she doesn't listen to him in everything.
If she were tricked into a room by this scumbag commander and immediately did this or that, it would be a disgrace she could never wash away in her lifetime!
"Whether it's true or not, Karenina, you'll find out when you come to my room. Or perhaps... Karenina, you're scared?"
Li Chaoge raised an eyebrow, his smile unwavering, and directly used the simplest form of provocation.
"Huh?! Who's afraid! The word 'afraid' doesn't exist in my dictionary!"
Upon hearing this, Karenina glared at Li Chaoge and readily agreed.
When dealing with a tsundere, the simplest and most effective way is often to provoke them, because a tsundere cannot tolerate being looked down upon in front of certain people.
"Then I'll wait for you, Karenina, tonight. Remember not to play too hard today."
Seeing that Karenia agreed without hesitation, Li Chaoge smiled and sighed inwardly that the twin-tailed Karenia was still the same old formula, the same old flavor.
Although he had told G36 about what would happen that night, it wasn't impossible for him to contact Karenina.
The essence of a construct is the sea of consciousness, a tactical doll is a mind cloud map, and ship girls also have mind cubes inside their bodies. It feels like they are all the same in some way, just with different technologies in different worlds developing in different ways.
"You bastard, you're up to no good at all."
Karenina stared intently at Li Chaoge, trying to get him to reveal his true intentions.
However, Li Chaoge didn't have any bad intentions. He just wanted to get along better with Karenina. Was there anything wrong with trying to connect with her sea of consciousness while their relationship was improving?
With his increasingly thick skin, he was completely unafraid of Karenina's burning gaze. On the contrary, Karenina couldn't withstand his smiling eyes and turned her head away from Li Chaoge.
"Karenina... I hope she'll still remember the important matter by then."
Selena shook her head when she saw Karenina's expression.
It's obvious that Karenina is completely under the commander's control. She seems to have a bad temper and is very dissatisfied with Lucia, wanting to win against her. But in reality, if she were to shed her arrogant exterior in front of the commander, she would probably be more obedient and docile than Lucia.
Of course, those familiar with the Hanging Gardens know this.
Karenina's tsundere personality is so unique. Even though she says it's nothing and she won't hold it against Lucia, she still gets so easily hooked when they start talking.
Li Chaoge and the others rested in the restaurant for a while, and those who needed to get things to play with went up to get them and came down.
Jinguji Tamamo, who had gone home to rest yesterday, also arrived quickly. She glanced at the restaurant entrance and walked towards Qingge and the others.
"Zaozao, you're here~"
Isabella, who was already eager to go out and have fun, immediately spotted Jinguji Tamamo and greeted her.
"I'm here! Did everyone get some rest?"
"It's pretty good, the hotel facilities are all very good."
"Mmm! The food is all delicious!"
Jinguji Tamamo greeted her companions with a smile, her gaze falling on Seika among them. "Seika, you seem a little different today. Is it just my imagination?"
Although Qingge looked the same, she felt that Qingge was different. Her temperament seemed to have become special, making her stand out from the crowd at a glance.
I feel... similar to Qingge's brother's girlfriends.
"It must be my imagination."
Qingge was taken aback, her face slightly flushed as she shook her head, and immediately changed the subject, saying, "Instead of this, Zaozao, come and look at that one, see if it looks familiar to you."
Rose and Isabella had already covered this topic, and she had managed to gloss over it, so she didn't want to go through it again.
"What are you looking at?"
Jinguji Tamamo looked at Qingge strangely, and following Qingge's gaze, she saw Karenina talking to Li Chaoge.
"Ok?"
Karenina also noticed the newly arrived Jinguji Tamamo, and the two white-haired tsundere girls stared at each other at the same time.
Chapter 231. Becoming a ship girl means eternal youth, right!?
There's a saying that goes something like this: people with Stand users are attracted to each other.
Although neither Tamamo Jinguji nor Karenina has a Stand user, they both share a rather obvious characteristic—tsundere (a person who is arrogant and tsundere).
This isn't the annoying tsundere behavior of someone who quits the game; it's the genuine tsundere who cares about you while insisting that they didn't do it specifically for you.
Karenina and Tamamo Jinguji are undoubtedly such people, and they also share some similarities in personality, so when they see each other, they feel as if they are seeing themselves.
However, they didn't consider themselves arrogant.
"Karenina, this is Qingge's good friend and best friend, Jinguji Tamamo. She went home yesterday, so you didn't see her."
"Zaozao, she is a friend of mine from abroad, Karenina. She and some friends were also on vacation here, so she came to visit me."
Seeing that Tamamo-no-Mae and Karenina were looking at each other, Li Chaoge gave them a brief introduction.
"friend?"
After listening to Li Chaoge's introduction, both Jinguji Tamamo and Karenina, looking at him, had a big question mark in their minds.
Jinguji Tamamo didn't believe that Karenina was just a friend. There were already so many girls here, and yet another girl was joining in. It had to be said that Qingge's brother was indeed a womanizer to a certain extent.
Karenina also didn't quite believe that the girl who appeared next to Li Chaoge was unrelated to him; even if they weren't related now, they probably would be soon.
Last night, Qingge went to Li Chaoge's room, let alone just Qingge's friends or besties? She's seen plenty of examples of friends betraying their besties.
Of course, their thoughts were fleeting, but on the surface, they shook hands and greeted each other in a friendly manner.
"Hello, I apologize for disturbing you by coming here unannounced."
"It's alright, it's alright! When you're traveling, the more people you have, the more fun you'll have. Karenina, you can just call me Zaozao like everyone else."
Although they are proud and aloof, they are not proud and aloof to everyone. When facing strangers they have just met, they still maintain a considerable degree of politeness.
"Karenina, you're being so polite, I'm a little uncomfortable with it."
Li Chaoge looked at Karenina's polite demeanor and sighed slightly.
He didn't know much about Tamamo-no-Mae. Even though she was a bit arrogant and silly in her own dormitory, she wouldn't show it to Li Chaoge. She usually acted very politely and sensibly.
However, he knew much more about Karenina; she was a grumpy, arrogant older sister who would swear.
Although Karenina initially appeared before him in the demure manner of a cat-eared maid, she would also grab his clothes when she got angry. Now that he saw Karenina maintaining politeness in front of strangers, he felt a little uncomfortable.
"You want to fight, buddy?"
Hearing Li Chaoge undermine her, Karenina turned around and glared at Li Chaoge, saying fiercely.
"of course not."
Li Chaoge smiled and shook his head, teasing Karenina briefly before stopping, not actually letting her do a dramatic, arrogant transformation in front of everyone.
If it were just him and Karenina, he would definitely continue talking, turning Karenina from arrogant to shy. But now, in front of everyone, he chose to restrain himself and maintain his composure.
Well... his image is currently fixed as that of a womanizer and a rich second-generation scumbag.
However, he didn't care much. If it weren't for Qingge, he would have had virtually no interaction with Rose and Isabella.
He only needs to care about the people who care about him and what they think.
After a brief chat, Jinguji Tamamo also got to know the new maids G36 and Izayoi Sakuya who had appeared on Li Chaoge's side, as well as the pink fairy Miss Alicia who had already been implanted into their bodies.
"What are we going to do today? Are we going to watch the horse races? I want to ride a horse!"
Before Jinguji Tamamo could even complain about why Alicia had gotten in their way, the blonde Isabella eagerly looked at Jinguji Tamamo.
"Horse racing is not riding a horse. Haven't we already discussed this with Brother Chao's head maid? Don't confuse the two."
When her friends asked, Jinguji Tamamo immediately explained, "There's a racetrack around Narita City. Would you like to go watch the horse races?"
"If you don't want to watch horse racing, we can go to the horse farm and experience horseback riding."
"Huh? Aren't they the same?"
Isabella scratched her head; she hadn't thought much of it and assumed it was the same.
"Of course not. One is a place for gambling and horse racing, and the other is a place for raising horses. How can they be the same?" Jinguji Tamamo explained. "Generally speaking, horse farms are not open to tourists. However, in order to subsidize the operation of the horse farms, many horse farms will set up some tourist attractions to make money."
"I understand, I understand, everyone's financial situation hasn't been great lately!"
Isabella nodded quickly to indicate that she knew what was going on.
"..."
Jinguji Tamamo rolled her eyes at Isabella, who was nodding incessantly. What do you know? You obviously don't understand.
However, regardless of the recent economic situation, it won't affect their travel plans.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that due to the recent poor economic situation, they are providing higher-quality services in order to retain more customers.
"We're in Narita City now... What does that racetrack have to do with Narita Shirahito?"
At this moment, McQueen suddenly asked a question, which she said in Japanese.
"Actually, I don't know much about these things, and I've never gambled at a horse race... By the way, are you Japanese too?"
Jinguji Tamamo paused for a moment, looking at Mi Yume and Shiro McQueen with some curiosity.
Megumi McQueen's Japanese doesn't use fixed sentence structures and grammar like most foreigners do; it sounds just like a native Japanese speaker.
This is a situation that every language learner will encounter. Without long-term learning in a local language environment, their speech tends to be dogmatic.
This is why, even though there are many dialects in the same country, people can still easily distinguish foreigners from people from other regions.
"Yes, quite a few of us are Japanese."
Megumi McQueen nodded, even though she wasn't from this world's neon; the two neon-like people simply shared a similar culture.
"Is that so...?"
Jinguji Tamamo glanced at the people at the surrounding tables, inwardly complaining.
That's true. With so many people, it's normal for some to speak Japanese. She's not even surprised that the girls around Qingge's brother come from all over the world.
She thought the new blonde maid and the silver-haired braided maid were typical European maids.
When Jinguji Tamamo couldn't explain the specifics, Meguro McQueen stopped talking.
She felt a strong urge to go for a race when she first heard about Narita Racecourse, but when she thought about how horse racing in this world was different from that in her world—that there were no racehorse girls and people would bet money on horse races—she lost interest.
Racehorse girls run to enjoy the competition and the honor, not to run desperately for money.
Even though the horse racing game in this world is based on real horse racing events, she feels it's different from their world and has no desire to go to the racetrack.
"I don't think most people particularly like racetracks. If you don't put money in your pocket and waving your betting tickets for a thrilling gambling experience, it's like you've never been to a racetrack."
Belfast glanced at Megumi McQueen, who had suddenly asked a question and then fallen silent, and smiled as he reminded him, "However, gambling is not good. Everyone should go to the horse farm instead. I've already made a reservation with a nearby horse farm, and they'll be hosting us today."
"Special reception? Miss Belfast, you've really thought of everything."
