As long as they don't actually fight, it's fine. It's actually quite normal for them to have some minor friction and make a fuss. Anyway, one of them can run incredibly fast, and the other has quantum teleportation to escape at any time. You could say that if they don't want to fight, they absolutely won't fight.

More importantly, he felt that Heinrich should be careful not to provoke both Lilith and Blackie at the same time.

Just like before with Black Hera and Exusiai, one was clueless and the other was unhappy, now Lilith and Black Hera are in a state of bickering. If Heinrich also gets into a fight with the two of them, then this villa will probably really be demolished by them.

It's hard to say who's more likely to cause trouble between the goofy Heinrich and the mischievous Exusiai, but neither Lilith nor Black Heinrich would like them.

Of course, he could deal with these things later. Right now, he was more interested in knowing about Heinrich and Ayanami's arrival, such as whether the Sakura Empire's strategist, Amagi, had made any arrangements.

Ship girls seem to have ship equipment space, right? Although the official sources don't mention ship equipment space, ship girls don't usually carry ship equipment and only summon it for battle. Obviously, there's room to put ship cannons, carrier-based aircraft, and other things, so it's normal to put some gold, silver, jewelry, or other valuables there as well.

Moreover, their invisibility technique seemed to be very impressive from the start. He didn't notice anyone in front of him before they made a sound, and he didn't know how they did it.

Compared to Lilith, Hield, Lucia, and Exusia, who are only good at individual combat and lack a systematic improvement system, the advanced technology of magical ship girls seems to have more potential for development.

Heinrich's Ironblood faction boasts the most advanced technology among all factions. It's said that much of their research focuses on the Sirens, the overtly lurking villains. Sirens technology, in turn, possesses a plethora of astonishingly advanced technologies: the ability to jump between timelines, the construction of vast mirror-like oceans as experimental fields, and weapons capable of easily sinking continents are considered mere trifles...

He doesn't need any advanced technology; any simple, non-existent technology for everyday life would be enough to support his large group of wives.

Although the wives who appear now are all more and more sophisticated than the last, they have nothing to do with his ordinary world. His simple wish is still the same: to live a peaceful and happy life with the wives he loves.

"Yes, yes! What does the Commander want to ask? I'll tell you everything I know!"

Prince Heinrich, who was overjoyed that he would no longer be confined or kneeling until his legs went numb, quickly responded and pulled Ayanami, who was usually silent, to sit on the sofa next to Li Chaoge. However, her posture was not as proper as Ayanami's. She leaned back on the sofa, showing off her proud curves. Her long, beautiful legs under her skirt kept swinging, and her fair heels lifted and fell from the smooth floor from time to time.

"Actually, it's not a very serious matter. I mainly want to ask if you brought any valuables with you before you came, and if anyone else said anything to you."

Looking at Prince Heinrich's long, white legs that were constantly swaying, Li Chaoge secretly felt that Heinrich was too tempting, and he could hardly resist just looking at him.

Besides his large chest, Heinrich also had incredibly long legs, which were dazzlingly white. His long legs, combined with the large black bow on his head, made him taller than everyone else. One wonders if Frederick the Great's mother was truly that tall and imposing, able to easily lift him into her arms.

Although the pressure was a bit much, Heinrich had a憨憨 (simple and honest) personality, and he was quite pleased with the way she threw herself at him. Height wasn't a barrier; love was. As long as he was happy, that was all that mattered.

Exusiai was sitting next to Li Chaoge, smiling as she looked at Prince Heinrich. This newcomer was quite strong; he had just grabbed Lilith, preventing her from breaking free in time.

Although it seems that Lilith is not good at strength, what truly brings out Lilith's strength is speed and sharpness, as well as the dissolving virus and sadistic physique that make her stronger in battle, it is clear that the strength of ship girls is not just physical attributes.

"Hmm? Valuables? Money? I didn't bring any. Ayanami, did you bring any?"

Heinrich paused for a moment, then turned to look at Rei.

Why would these ship girls need money? Their port is so powerful, they have territory in ports all over the place. When they're bored, they don't need to spend money to do quests or play around. They can just buy on credit, and someone will pay for it later.

Even if you buy something too expensive, you'll still get a scolding.

“No…” Ayanami spoke slowly, her expressionless face shaking slightly in the eyes of Li Chaoge and the others. “The ship’s equipment space is not large, and it can’t hold too many things.”

Their main purpose in coming here was to bring supplies, since their combat effectiveness requires special fuel to be fully utilized; otherwise, they would only be able to swing their fists or use their ship equipment to cut people down.

While money will be needed to get here, there are many ways to obtain it. However, if supplies run out and we can't protect the Commander, we'll be in trouble. Although the people from other worlds speak very kindly, promising to join forces to reach the Commander's world, we must be wary of their underhanded tactics. If a conflict really breaks out, they can't afford to back down.

Yes, that's what Lord Amagi told Ayanami.

Therefore, apart from her ship equipment and the ship-slaying sword, most of her ship equipment space is filled with supplies.

"I see..."

Li Chaoge was a little disappointed, but he quickly composed himself, thinking, "If I gain it, I'm lucky; if I lose it, it's my fate."

He can manage in the short term. At worst, he can ask his sister Qingge for help before he receives his live-streaming earnings next month. His sister Qingge has also saved a lot of money.

Although it might be a bit embarrassing, given his relationship with Qingge, his headache shouldn't be whether he can borrow the money or not, but rather how to explain its purpose. Should he say it's money for supporting many beautiful girls?

Although that's not actually the case, Qingge will definitely come looking for him and feel that he has been deceived. After all, Seele, Exusiai, and Heinrich are all incredibly beautiful girls. Of all the people she could ask, why did she choose him? Anyone would find that unbelievable.

"commander......"

Ayanami wanted to say something more, but at that moment the villa's door opened.

"Commander, we're back."

"Captain, are you satisfied with the porridge that Seele prepared?"

Seele and Lucia, who had gone to buy groceries, came in carrying large and small bags.

"Of course I'm satisfied, Lucia Seele, thank you for your hard work buying groceries."

Li Chaoge put aside her worries and went over to help carry the bags they were carrying to the kitchen. She put the bags that needed to be put in the refrigerator, and washed and put away the ones that would be used later. She put everything away neatly and in an organized manner.

He should have gone out with Hiel and Lucia, but he got up too late. It was probably for the best, otherwise Heinrich and the others would have caused trouble when they came over.

"It wasn't hard work. It was quite fun chatting with the uncles and aunties while buying groceries. They gave us a lot of things."

"By the way, Captain, is this... a new recruit?"

Seele and Lucia looked at the messy living room and the two unfamiliar girls sitting on the sofa.

When they went out in the morning, they didn't see the newcomer arrive, and they all thought that the previous pattern wasn't what they thought. They didn't expect it to appear now.

"Yes, this is Ayanami, Heinrich, and this is Seele, Lucia."

Li Chaoge introduced the two sides again, saying that he felt it would be quite troublesome to introduce them each time as more and more people came, since not everyone would be present at the same time.

"Hello, my name is Xi'er."

“Ayanami…”

......

After exchanging a few words, Seele said to Li Chaoge, "Captain, it's getting late. Seele and Sister Lucia will go and cook first."

Although she wanted to learn more about the newcomers, she realized it was almost eleven o'clock and knew she had to start cooking. Preparing food for so many people would take a lot of time, especially now that there were two more.

“Yeah, I’ll help too. Aneng, you can chat with Ayanami Heinrich, or play those games if you want. Also, ask Kuroshi Lilith and the others to tidy up the things they’ve left lying around. At least pick up everything on the floor and put it away properly.”

Li Chaoge nodded, glanced at Heinrich and Ayanami, and said to Exusiai.

Although he also wanted to chat more with the enthusiastic and cheerful Heinrich, whose chest armor was extremely thick, and he hadn't been able to say much to Ayanami, the emotionless girl in white stockings, he still had to keep an eye on the kitchen where Lucia and Seele were for everyone's lunch, lest they make the food too heavy again.

"Understood, boss!"

Exusiai cheerfully led Heinrich and Ayanami to familiarize themselves with the villa. Heinrich had no objections; everything was new and exciting to her. With no one to manage them here, she felt ecstatic.

However, before leaving with Exusiai, Ayanami glanced at Li Chaoge, who was preparing lunch with Seele and Lucia, and pursed her lips without saying anything.

In the kitchen.

While Li Chaoge helped Xier wash vegetables and dishes, he watched Lucia, the head chef, demonstrate her culinary skills.

Lucia's knife skills were truly impressive. Just watching her slice cucumbers into perfectly even slices in no time was something an amateur like him couldn't match. Moreover, Lucia's control over the heat was excellent, and with her carefully chosen seasonings, each fragrant dish emitted an enticing aroma that wafted from the kitchen into the living room and reached the noses of Prince Heinrich and the others.

"It smells delicious! Commander, the food here seems to be quite good!"

Prince Heinrich took a deep sniff and began to look forward to lunch.

There are many ship girls, and although quite a few can cook, most of them eat in the cafeteria. The food in the port cafeteria is pretty good, but it's definitely not as good as these stir-fries.

Do you eat regular meals too?

Exusiai asked curiously. She had already talked a lot with Prince Heinrich and knew that they were ship girls and that many of the things they ate were made with fuel oil.

Food made with fuel oil? It sounds strange, but it seems to be a very common thing for these ship girls. It is essentially fuel oil, but in reality, it tastes the same as ordinary food. Depending on the nature of the ingredients and the cooking method, the taste also varies. You can taste sweet, bitter, spicy, salty, crispy, soft, and hard. I don't know how they do it.

"Of course! Why can't we eat it? Even though it won't replenish fuel, why not eat something delicious!"

Prince Heinrich argued righteously that the royals drink afternoon tea every day, and that tea is said to be the finest tea picked from the human world, so why can't they eat something delicious?

"Yes..."

Ayanami nodded in agreement. Her good friend Yuudachi loved to eat meat buns, not the kind made with fuel, but with meat and flour.

According to Yuudachi, the meat buns made by Yixian, the only marriage ship of Donghuang, are the most delicious, but it's a pity that you can only eat a few baskets each time before they're gone.

"..."

Exusiai looked at the two of them speechlessly. Wasn't this just a case of being greedy?

But she likes it! Just like she likes eating desserts, like apple pie!

Hehe, once the professor has money, they'll go eat their way around. This world is so rich in resources, and prices are so cheap; she thinks she needs to really satisfy her appetite!

In the kitchen, Seele looked at the dishes that looked and smelled delicious, a testament to their hard work, and said with delight.

"Lucia is so amazing!"

They've already tasted a little bit, and there's nothing wrong with the dishes this time; they're all very delicious.

She felt that if Lucia could change her habit of liking strong flavors, her cooking skills might even catch up with Mei's.

"It's all thanks to Seele and the Commander's help. I still need to practice more."

Lucia shook her head, her face slightly flushed. She felt that her skills were still a bit lacking; she couldn't even cook independently and needed the commander to supervise her.

“We didn’t do anything special, Lucia, you don’t need to be so modest. Most of the delicious food today was made by you.” Li Chaoge placed his freshly dried hands on Lucia’s head, gently stroking her hair, and chuckled to her. “But you do need to practice more. I wish you could let me be lazy in the future.”

"Hmm! Lucia will let the Commander slack off!"

Upon hearing Li Chaoge's words, Lucia clenched her small, pinkish-white fists and nodded vigorously while looking at Li Chaoge's handsome face.

"Don't take it so seriously, I was just kidding."

Li Chaoge was somewhat amused and exasperated to see Lucia respond to his joke so seriously.

Lucia's seriousness is quite endearing, but he also worries that one day even a casual joke might be taken seriously by her.

"Commander usually works so hard, it's good for him to rest and relax a bit now!"

Lucia said seriously. She wasn't Heinrich, so of course she knew Li Chaoge was joking. But she felt that the commander should act like that.

Being a commander used to be so tough. As the commander of the Gray Raven Squad, I was always being targeted, either injured or on my way to get treatment. Living a peaceful life like this is what a commander should be able to enjoy.

She couldn't do anything about her lack of strength before, but there's no need for that here. There are many like-minded partners who also like the Commander and care about him. She feels it's time for the Commander to enjoy life.

"Um... thank you in advance, Lucia."

Seeing Lucia's earnest expression, Li Chaoge was touched but didn't know what to say. He could only pat Lucia's hair again.

It wouldn't feel right to kiss Lucia at this moment, especially with Seele right next to her.

"Commander, you don't need to thank Lucia."

Lucia shook her head and brought up the topic again.

"Okay, okay, I won't say thank you. Can I just say Lucia is great?"

Li Chaoge thought for a moment and smiled at Lucia.

"Ugh... this is so embarrassing."

Lucia blushed instantly. The commander's words were so embarrassing; he actually used such words to replace "thank you."

"Haha, Lucia, you really are awesome!"

Seele, watching Li Chaoge chatting happily with Lucia, secretly realized her mistake; she hadn't expected Lucia to become such a threat.

She initially thought that everyone else was positioned differently from her and that she wouldn't encounter any competitors in the short term, but she didn't expect that Lucia would start to become a problem.

However, she was not discouraged at all; she would not give up her position as the captain's sweetheart!

"Seele, go tell them to wash their hands and eat. Lucia and I will take the food out."

"Yes, Captain."

Li Chaoge and Lucia placed all the dishes on the table, and Seele also called everyone over to eat.

Cooking will be more troublesome in the future, but there should be more and more people who can cook. What he should worry about is how everyone will eat together in the future. There is a limit to how many people can sit at a table, after he has the money to buy a super big house.

There were no problems with lunch. Everyone had had enough of the commotion. Except for Prince Heinrich, who was still full of energy and kept asking questions, everyone was quite well-behaved. Even Blackie and Lilith were tired of making a scene. They had been glaring at each other all night and had just been chasing each other around for so long. They were physically tired but mentally exhausted.

While chatting and laughing with them over dinner, Li Chaoge secretly observed their behavior.

It seems the title of "troublemaker" will be taken from Exusiai and fall on Heinrich.

Exusiai seemed to notice Li Chaoge's gaze and looked over, but she just chuckled and whispered with Heinrich about whether they should go out to play in the afternoon.

If someone could liven things up, she wouldn't have to risk being punished by the professor by flirting with people everywhere.

Heinrich! My good comrade! The arduous task of taking the blame from now on is entrusted to you!

Heinrich blinked, looking at Exusiai with a bit of confusion. Why did Exusiai's smile remind him of that Prinz Eugen guy?

After lunch, Li Chaoge asked Hei hope to wash the dishes. Lilith didn't have to do such "delicate work" as washing dishes, but she should at least wipe the table with a rag and take the trash outside to throw it away.

Li Chaoge's attitude towards their tendency to cause trouble was that they could make trouble if they wanted to. He wouldn't forcibly stop them in the case of minor squabbles, but he would make sure to handle the cleanup afterwards.

Clearly, Hei hope and her friends only managed to make a scene, not clean up. Besides the ground, many other places were still a mess.

Heinrich and Ayanami were the same, but since they had just arrived today, no work would be assigned yet. Even if Heinrich caused trouble and needed to be held accountable, it would have to wait until tomorrow.
