I really don't have money for the ship girls.

"Commander...you always say that Ayanami's ears are cute, but why don't you touch them?"

Ying Tian sat behind Ling Bo. He had spent the morning moving goods at the bubble tea shop where he worked part-time, and his back ached. So after lunch, he didn't rush to leave and stayed to enjoy Shoukaku's massage.

"Actually, I was watching you play games."

"Hmm, I'm helping my Sakura Empire allies level up... Didn't the Commander see my ears?"

"Okay, I'm watching too."

Ying Tian decisively reached out and touched the little girl's head, which she called "ears." The hair ornament felt cool to the touch and had a metallic texture. It was not only cute but also cool.

"Ugh—it's a little itchy..." Small goosebumps rose on the girl's smooth, white nape, and her ears were flushed a beautiful cherry red.

"Can you really feel it?" Ying Tian experienced the difference between the ship girl's body and the human body for the first time, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little more expectant. Would ship girls with fox ears like Shinano and Amagi also have a unique feel? And what would it feel like to have oni horns like Noshiro and Suzuya?

"I have a feeling... just like Yukikaze and the others, the Commander will definitely like them too."

"Ah."

Ayanami continued, "Although the Commander prefers older women, but..."

"Pfft—" Ying Tian, ​​who was drinking water, almost spat it out. "Cough cough, Ayanami, what are you saying?"

Ayanami turned her head, blinked, and said, "Isn't that right? This game is logged in using the Commander's video app account. I accidentally opened it before, and the homepage recommendations were all... um..."

Ying Tian was startled and stood up, immediately embracing Ling Bo. Her small body was thin but not frail. After Ling Bo let out a soft cry, she did not resist.

Shoukaku asked curiously, "What are they all big?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing," Ying Tian explained, putting his arm around Ling Bo. "I prefer watching older dramas, so the algorithm keeps recommending some well-regarded and popular stars to me, like Ling Bo, right?"

"Yes... there were also two men fighting in the locker room..."

"It's just internal conflict among basketball players."

"Because you are too beautiful..."

"Able to eat meat and lay eggs, chickens are man's best friend."

Ying Tian hugged Aya tightly in his arms. Her small body was fragrant and soft, but Ying Tian had no evil intentions at all: "Don't say that, Aya is the cutest, I like Aya."

"Ugh... Commander..." Ayanami bit her lip, an unnatural flush rising on her expressionless face.

"Don't talk, hold me tight." Ying Tian said, quietly taking Shoukaku's phone from Ling Bo's hand, opening a pink gay dating video website, and decisively logging out.

Shoukaku looked at the commander who was doting on the little girl and felt that something was not right.

It can only be said that, as expected of Solomon's spirit, Ayanami truly possesses terrifying intuition and insight.

Ron, one of the three, is quite different from Mercury Memorial and Ayanami. Her personality is hard to describe; she's truly the kind of person... the kind that's very rare...

An unpredictable person?

Chapter Forty-Eight: How Many Good Sisters Do You Actually Have?

As time goes by, the temperature is getting higher and higher. In schools and on the streets, everyone's clothing is gradually becoming cooler. It's almost time for the annual season to cool off and show off our legs.

Logically speaking, the milk tea shop should be doing very well in this kind of weather. It's just a pity that all the people on the street were attracted to the newly opened "You Love Me I Love You" shop next door, so Ying Tian and a third-year college student who was also working part-time could only idly wipe the milk tea machine.

"I have never stooped to being a simp. In my opinion, even if you want to pursue true love in college, the two people should be equal, understand and support each other. Of course, you can make concessions for the other person because of love, but you should never trample on your own dignity. That kind of love is too humble, and that is not the kind of love I want."

The senior's name is Liu Yue. Just now, he and Ying Tian saw a young couple outside. The man was queuing up to buy milk tea in the sun, while the girl was holding an umbrella and resting in an air-conditioned place on the other side. She didn't even leave an umbrella for him. Liu Yue couldn't help but sigh.

“Yingtian, you will definitely understand me, after all, you were hurt so badly by that sycophant.”

“Indeed.” Ying Tian nodded in agreement, but in his heart he was thinking, what if the milk tea shop’s business is this bad every day? He wasn’t sympathizing with the boss, but he was worried about losing this relatively stable part-time job. He has a large family to support now.

"Better to have nothing than something bad. Don't just find someone to date to make up for the regrets of your youth. What you end up with might not be beautiful memories, but rather the pain of profound realization." In front of his junior, Liu Yue's old habit of being a know-it-all kicked in again. He asked, "Yingtian, do you have a girl you like?"

"I?"

Upon hearing this question, Ying Tian couldn't help but think of the Prince of Wales, wondering what she was doing at that moment—whether she was fighting or something else.

However, Ying Tian knew that Xiang He was currently wearing a sky-blue apron and making lunch for everyone. Ron was probably helping her. Although he couldn't appreciate German cuisine, Ron's cooking skills were quite good.

And St. Louis.

The night before, Ying Tian left the base to return to school. By the green belt in the community, St. Louis caught up with him and hugged him from behind. Her soft, delicate body, mixed with a rich fragrance, pressed against Ying Tian's back.

"Excuse me, Commander, please let me hold you like this for a little while, just a little while."

"No."

As Ying Tian spoke, he struggled out of St. Louis's embrace, turned around amidst the beauty's surprised and puzzled gaze, and hugged St. Louis's mature and delicate body from the front: "This is fine."

“Commander~” St. Louis rested his head on Ying Tian’s shoulder, exhaling hot breath gently.

"Don't worry too much, I believe you can definitely make money." Ying Tian gently patted St. Louis's flat back and comforted him in a relaxed tone. "If all else fails, we can go work together. Ship girls are incredibly strong, they'll definitely be good at moving bricks on construction sites."

"Pfft~ The commander is really amazing, always so optimistic no matter what."

Ying Tian thought to himself, what kind of difficulty is this? Besides, if I'm not optimistic, you're all probably going to panic.

St. Louis gently rubbed Ying Tian's shoulder and said, "I was saying I'd take care of the Commander, but it turns out the Commander is the one taking care of us."

"Who said I'm supporting you? I'm just lending you money. You have to pay it back with interest."

"Hmph, no interest."

"Then you have no choice but to pay it back, whether you like it or not."

"Well~" St. Louis leaned close to Ying Tian's ear and said seductively, "How about I use myself as interest?"

Ying Tian's heart skipped a beat, but he still said in a joking tone, "No, you are not an object, I will not allow you to insult yourself like that."

"Hehehehe... Commander~"

St. Louis raised her pretty face and, without hesitation and to Ying Tian's surprise, tiptoed, pressing her soft, fragrant lips, like the freshest, most bouncy jelly, onto Ying Tian's lips.

She was a passionate White Eagle Girl, but her rapid heartbeat reflected her trembling excitement.

Thinking back to last night, Ying Tian felt somewhat dazed. That sweet and passionate kiss was like a glass of mead, as intoxicating as St. Louis's smile. At the same time, Ying Tian also felt a strange sense of guilt, as if he had betrayed the Prince of Wales.

Seeing Ying Tian's expression, Liu Yue gave him a knowing smile: "Looks like you have someone you like."

Ying Tian said, "I originally thought I wouldn't have it, but now that I think about it, I'm not lying to myself, I really did have it."

"Is it Ms. Shi or the girl with the white hair who came earlier?"

Ying Tian was too embarrassed to say it, but he seemed to like them all.

"Haven't you confessed your feelings yet?"

"Ah."

Liu Yue, who was only a year older than Ying Tian, ​​said in a tone of someone who had been through it all: "Ms. Shi is too perfect. Girls with white hair are more realistic. Junior, you need to take the initiative."

Ying Tian remained noncommittal; in retrospect, it seemed that he hadn't been the one to take the initiative.

“Generally speaking, boys tend to be more rational, while girls tend to be more emotional. As long as you are confident and pursue your goal, the chances of success are quite high. Of course, I don’t mean to fawn over them.” Liu Yue pondered for a moment and then asked, “Do you know how many shades of lipstick there are?”

"I don't know." The ship girls are naturally beautiful. Ying Tian has never seen them wear makeup, and their lips are always a beautiful cherry blossom pink.

What's the difference between "miracle water" and "clear dew"?

"What is that?"

What if you can't say "drink more hot water"?

"don't know."

Liu Yue nodded in satisfaction and said, "I don't know either, but if you want to pursue girls, you have to learn about it. Put yourself in her shoes. If a girl took the initiative to ask you about the games you play or the anime you like, wouldn't that immediately shorten the distance between you?"

"Makes sense."

"Of course that makes sense; it's based on my senior's experience."

Just then, the cashier at the front desk called out, "What would you like to order?"

"No need, I'll just sit here for a while."

Wearing a fitted black coat, Ron naturally declined the cashier's offer and sat down at the bar. She rested her cheek on her right hand, gazing at Ying Tian with a dreamy look in her eyes. Her pink hair and red highlights added a touch of alluring beauty to her gentle face.

Ying Tian blinked at Ron, which is why she said that Ron was really hard to figure out. Judging from her words and actions, her personality could easily become irritable, but in reality, Ron was gentle and soft-spoken most of the time.

Just like Ron, who is quietly watching Ying Tian now, she likes to stay quietly by his side when he is concentrating on his work. Sometimes she sits, sometimes she lies down, and sometimes she puts her arms around Ying Tian's neck, uses her large breasts to support the back of Ying Tian's head, and then breaks away, saying things like "healing", "peace" and "finally calming down", which makes her hard to understand.

"that……"

"Yingtian, don't speak, my love interest might be coming."

Liu Yue's heart pounded as he felt the pink-haired woman's undisguised gaze. She was looking at him. She had come specifically to see him. Did she have a crush on him? She had a crush on him!

Then, as if his heart had stopped, he watched Ying Tian walk out from behind the bar and said to Ron, "What brings you here?"

"I'll wait for you to get off work and come home for dinner."

"I need a little more time."

"I'm waiting for you."

As Ron spoke, she stood up and put her arm around Ying Tian. Despite her mature appearance, she gave off a petite and dependent feeling.

"what are you doing?"

"You've worked hard, here's a comforting hug for you~"

"Fortunately, there weren't any customers, so it wasn't tiring at all."

Liu Yue twitched the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but say, "You two know each other."

Ying Tian said, "I'd say we're friends."

Ron corrected, "They're not just friends."

Who are you kidding? How can you call yourself a friend if you can do such intimate things?

Liu Yue recalled what he had said to Ying Tian before: "I just wanted to show off my sword skills. I never expected you to be Guan Yu."

Just then, another figure burst in. She bit her lip, looking too excited to speak, her hands clasped together, her full figure trembling slightly.

Liu Yue asked instinctively, "Would you like fruit tea or milk tea?"

Ying Tian didn't recognize her at first, but seeing the girl's unusual short, light gray hair, he understood and reached out his hand, saying, "That..."

"Yes, it's me!" The gray-haired girl excitedly grabbed Ying Tian's hands with both of them. "I've always wanted to see you, and now I finally have! What should I do? I'm so happy! My face must be super red right now!"

"Well, it's nice to meet you too..." Ying Tian could only reply for the time being.

Liu Yue glanced at the gray-haired girl and Ron, then at Ying Tian. He turned back to his post, somewhat saddened. "Ying Tian, ​​we can't be friends anymore. You traitor who betrayed your class, I don't have a junior like you."

Author's Note on Launch (Please Subscribe)

Before I knew it, it was time to go on sale again. After my last book ended, there was a period of great quiet, and I thought it was quite a coincidence. But I never imagined that what goes around comes around, and retribution would come eventually...

But it's okay, a little setback won't stop me from finishing what I started.

I won't offer any bounties. It's not that I don't trust the readers; they've already been very accommodating. It's just that I don't quite trust myself... I'll try my best to start updating three times a week. I think I can still keep my word. In the later part of my last book, I updated five times every two days. Except for the week I was forced offline, I didn't take a single day off (with a straight face and hands on hips).

Finally, peaches may no longer be fashionable, and the harem has become a frequently criticized label. But since it's not reality, why impose so many rules and regulations? Just be happy.

Chapter 49 Commander, Akagi is on the CPU.

"There's no such thing as not having enough oil. Although thanks to the Commander's time-space influence, we can get a lot of extra resources whether we're sortieing or on a mission, and we also have support from Azur Lane, we have a lot of people in our naval base. So we can sortie a little more frequently than before, but we still need to sortie for a day and rest for many days. We still need to keep enough fuel in reserve."

"The Sirens are endless. The ocean is so vast. As long as they are not in the waters we control, the Sirens are like weeds, one crop after another. We cut one wave and another comes. Sometimes I think they should be renamed the Zerg. Even if the combat power of mass-produced ships is no match for the Sirens Executors and Arbitrators, their sheer numbers are a headache."

"Nothing will happen. Our naval base is very strong, and every time we launch an attack, we go all out, even when it's just a lion hunting a rabbit. Ah, I actually used an idiom in front of the commander. How embarrassing! Ah, I used an idiom again. I don't know much about Chinese culture. Commander, please don't mind."

"Why am I so concerned about you, Commander? Because I've always wanted to see you! ...Eh, because you're like a superhero who saves the world, which means I'm like your assistant, right? By the way, I'm Reno from the Atlanta class. Nice to meet you from now on~"

"Of course he's a superhero! The Commander has the ability to isolate countless dimensions from our world. He's practically the Sorcerer Supreme, no, much more powerful than the Sorcerer Supreme! He usually pretends to be an ordinary person in his own world, but in reality, he's the savior of the multiverse. Wow, he's the superhero among superheroes!"

The woman who suddenly appeared was, of course, a ship girl. Reno, with her pretty short gray hair, was a member of the Atlanta-class light cruiser of the White Eagle. She had a pretty and cute round face and a well-proportioned and voluptuous figure. In particular, her perky white breasts under her gray coat were as soft and large as Roon's.

Lino was both enthusiastic and excited, her beautiful eyes narrowing into stars. She talked incessantly on the way back with Yingtian and Ron, attracting frequent glances from passersby. As for what she was saying, others would probably think she was being delusional, since who wouldn't dye their hair gray if they weren't delusional? Hmm, there was also a pink-haired girl with red highlights next to her. Yingtian, walking in the middle, looked completely normal in terms of both hair color and clothing, making him seem out of place among the delusional anime fans.

Although Ying Tian was already quite confident because of St. Louis, he was still taken aback by Reno's praise. He quickly said, "It's not that mysterious. By the way, what is the purpose of your visit this time?"

Reno patted his head and said, "The commander is right. I came here on a technical mission. I brought communication tools with me so that you can talk to everyone and reassure the people at the naval base."

Ying Tian was stunned for a moment. He could make a call now?

The already cramped room became even more crowded after Lino arrived. However, since Rui Die hadn't come yet, everyone's activities gradually made use of the entire house, especially the living room and bathroom. Everything else could be managed, but five or six people sharing one bathroom was just too cramped. Fortunately, there were three bathrooms in the house, so why not use them? If things got really bad, they could just pay the landlord more money later.
