My ship girl setup is off...

Page 115

"What's wrong, Commander? Why aren't you saying anything? I'm so beautiful and invincible, and I'm already by your side. You should be happy. Do you want me to shout some slogans for you? Or... are you still thinking about Richelieu and the others' beauty just now?"

"I understand, I understand, just as you know my depths and my limitations, it's all inevitable."

Inside the car, Littorio's right hand remained still on the steering wheel, while his left hand rested against the window, enjoying the cool breeze and the swaying of his prized long hair as he talked incessantly.

Clearly, she was thoroughly enjoying herself, her gaze shifting back and forth between the rearview mirror and the road.

"No, the last one who said they were invincible has already been torn to pieces. I think we should forget about slogans. I roughly know what you're trying to say. Also, I'm actually not thinking about Richelieu."

"Oh? In that case, Commander, you can tell me. Don't worry, I, Littorio, am very tight-lipped. No one can get a single secret out of me, except for you, of course. For example... we can discuss Veneto's measurements."

"Littorio, don't say things like that in front of the commander!"

Veneto, who had originally intended to remain calm, immediately broke down when Littorio steered the conversation directly at him.

"I'm sorry, Commander, Littorio is always like this, I hope you don't mind."

"I'm fine, but Veneto, aren't you getting a little too close?"

Zheng Ri turned his head slightly to look at Veneto sitting next to him—no, to be precise, she was practically pressed against him—and reminded her that she should either sit properly or sit properly on him.

"Is it close? No, not really..."

Veneto looked at herself, her whole body pressed against him, but she still opened her eyes.

She lied through her teeth, a faint blush creeping across her face. She knew she couldn't do this, but thinking about the future, Veneto decided to take it one step at a time.

For example, try to get closer to him first.

"Wait! I mean, Commander!"

Before Veneto could make a move, Zheng Ri had already secretly hugged her, then pulled her onto his lap, letting her sit obediently on his lap. Smelling the fragrant aroma and feeling the soft touch, Zheng Ri couldn't help but reach out and touch her.

He lifted her black pleated skirt, grabbed her breasts directly, and felt the exquisite sensation that overflowed from them with a single squeeze. He couldn't help but continue moving upwards.

"Commander, isn't this a bit too enthusiastic? Wait a minute..."

Being caught by him so proactively and engaged in intimate acts, Veneto's face quickly flushed an alluring pink. Her gray eyes dared not look directly at him, but were filled with a misty haze, and her heart was racing.

"You've already come all over me, VV, you're being so proactive, so I should accept you properly, right?"

Zheng Ri held Veneto tightly, enjoying her fair skin and alluring fragrance. He didn't want to do this, but as an extremely upright person, he had to face the temptation.

So Jeongil stopped his wildly flailing right hand.

"Huh? Why did it stop?"

She could already feel his fingers moving towards more intimate areas, but then he suddenly stopped. Veneto immediately turned to look at him, her eyes, already filled with affection, now filled with a look of confusion.

"Because I don't want to eat you up here, VV. This is your punishment for tempting me."

He gently patted her tender buttocks, making her obediently cry out. His left hand was pressed against her burning face, slowly caressing it. Eating her now was definitely not a problem, but no, he had to make VV take the initiative.

"Huh? Well... in that case, Commander, could you please take your hand out...?"

Veneto's tone was soft, and when she met his gaze, she seemed somewhat timid. But in her heart, she thought, "This isn't right. Wasn't the commander supposed to be the one who's easily taken advantage of? How come I'm the one who's been caught now? This isn't right!"

What do you think, VV? If you want to.

As the sun rose close to his ear, whispering softly, the sultry heat reaching his ear made Veneto's face turn even redder. Most importantly, his hand continued to touch him.

"Hmm~, it seems the Commander has learned quite a few techniques, at least he's become much more proactive."

"When can we have a proper chat? How about at the public bathhouse?"

Through the rearview mirror, Littorio saw the Commander making a move on his sister the whole time. Although his expression remained unchanged, if you looked closely, you would notice that a faint blush had risen on her cheeks.

"I feel like you guys are treating me like some kind of perverted person. I was just teaching VV a lesson, nothing more."

Zheng Ri was lying through his teeth, but his hand had already reached out and pulled VV, who was already feeling something, into his arms, feeling her body temperature gradually cooling down.

"Commander, you've changed. Lying is wrong."

Veneto stared at him with a tense face, feeling particularly uncomfortable in his current predicament, and his gaze towards him became somewhat resentful.

The feeling of going in and coming out halfway was extremely unpleasant. If he could, Veneto would like to press him firmly in the car right now and let him know what the majesty from Sardinia is all about.

"To be precise, I haven't changed; I'm just following my heart. Actually, I'm not a lewd person; it's time that has made me this way."

"Okay, I really am a pervert."

Just as he was about to sigh and recount his past, he received a smile from Littorio and an expressionless face from Veneto, and immediately fell silent, admitting that he was indeed a bit of a pervert.

"Commander, this is correct, flawless, in accordance with one's conscience, and honest; this is exactly how it should be done."

Littorio nodded in agreement, agreeing that his commander should be honest and speak frankly, without worrying about what others thought.

Because there's no one else here, only our own people.

"...Alright then, but have we arrived yet?"

As Zheng Ri watched the building getting closer, he knew they were almost there. Veneto, seeing the building gradually close, quickly pulled away from his embrace and tidied her disheveled clothes.

At least it shouldn't be noticeable that something is wrong.

"Yes, we've arrived, Commander. Welcome to our land, Sardin."

Chapter 313 Honesty and Integrity

"Welcome to Sardinia, Commander. We hope you can feel our warmth."

After opening the car door, Littorio introduced herself to him, but Zheng Ri always felt that there was something hidden in her words, and her enthusiasm seemed familiar.

"Thank you for your enthusiasm, but for now it's just you guys. And... do you want to restore Italy's glory?"

As Zheng Ri got out of the car, he saw most of the beige-colored buildings, though not many. However, there were some iconic buildings, such as the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Colosseum.

That's all there is to it. But when Zheng Ri thought of the valley in Iris of Freedom, the park in Iron Blood, and now the Colosseum, he wondered if his own ship girls were going to regain their glory.

"Are the commanders formalists? Of course, they're just preparing. As for restoring glory, no, they're just nostalgic."

After tidying himself up, Veneto looked somewhat dejected after hearing what he said, but quickly cheered up again. Littorio, on the other hand, gave a somewhat complicated explanation.

"Does the commander support or oppose our actions?"

Veneto came to his side and tentatively asked him if he didn't like it, saying that if he didn't like it, they could just tear it down, and the only loss would be money.

"I didn't say I didn't support it. I just thought that turning it into an autonomous region for cleaning might be a bit of a hassle. I won't refuse anything you want to do."

Noticing Veneto's unusual behavior, Zheng Ri chuckled lightly. "So what? If they want to, so be it. At worst, we'll just create a small country."

As for the Maritime Safety Administration, it seems like no one from them has come over.

"I'm glad you don't object, Commander."

Understanding his meaning, Veneto smiled. After all, a commander is a commander, everyone's commander. When there are only a few ship girls, they can be loving and affectionate, but when there are many, there will always be groups. Moreover, with hundreds of ships like these, how could friction and territorial disputes not arise?

Therefore, it's better for ship girls of different types to have their own areas.

"Instead of this, Commander, how about we enjoy our bathhouse first? I can guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Seeing that the topic was over, Littorio took his hand and invited him to have a good tour of the baths in Sardinia.

"Since you've put it that way, how can I refuse?"

Seeing her feigned gentlemanly demeanor, Zheng Ri almost laughed, but to be fair, Littorio was handsome, with a confident smile on his face, exuding the aura of a powerful woman.

"Commander, you can refuse, but I believe you won't, right?"

Littorio took a step forward and looked at him with a confident smile, turning his hand from a holding to an interlocked grip. In the short time he had been in the car, he had already seen clearly who the commander was.

"You're right, I won't refuse. Let's go, Littorio, and VV too."

Zheng Ri nodded, then turned to look at Veneto, who seemed lost in thought, took her hand, and the three of them walked together to their destination.

"That's strange. In Sardinia, is it customary to take a bath before entering the public bathhouse?"

Wearing nothing on a sunny day, I'm now lying on the edge of a small bathtub, looking up at the still bright sky. Normally, I wouldn't be taking a bath this early, but...

However, while Zheng Ri was wondering about this, he heard footsteps, or more precisely, footsteps approaching his location.

"Littorio, are you sure the Commander is in this pool? Could there be a mistake?"

"Don't worry, Veneto, trust me. At the very least, I wouldn't waste time building sandcastles."

"Could we please not bring this up again?"

As the sound of their conversation gradually drifted over, he turned his head and saw Littorio and Veneto, completely naked, displaying their bodies openly.

However, Veneto wasn't as direct as Littorio. She didn't do anything; at least she used her hands to cover her position, while Littorio simply put his hands on his hips.

"Commander, how's the water temperature in the bathhouse? Can I get some more if it's not hot enough?"

"That's enough, that's enough. Instead of this, don't you need a bathrobe or something? Or a bath towel?"

While Zheng Ri kindly advised them to wear a little bit, even just a little, his gaze was still fixed on their snow-white, alluring skin with a jealous and earnest look. After being moistened by the warm water mist, their skin was slightly rosy and very tempting.

"Commander, you don't know this, but in the public bathhouse, everyone needs to be completely honest with each other; anyone who wears even a single piece of clothing is lying."

"Does the Commander want me to be the deceiver? Or... is it actually my body that's captivating your gaze, Commander?"

Hearing her whisper in his ear, Zheng Ri finally came to his senses and realized that Littorio had already entered the bathhouse and was sitting next to him. He didn't even know when he had noticed her.

"When did you come here?"

"Hehe~, it seems I'm quite charming, Commander. You didn't even notice I was underwater. Well, it doesn't matter. Let's just be honest with each other from now on."

Littorio looked at the surprised expression on Zheng Ri's face, a proud smile spreading across his charming face. Then, thinking about what was about to happen, a faint blush gradually crept onto his cheeks.

"Commander, actually, in Sardinia, taking a bath together is a great way to connect..."

After Littorio finished speaking, Veneto gradually moved closer to him until her arm touched his arm, and then slowly began to speak of Sardinian traditions.

"mine

It means...we need to have a proper, open-hearted conversation from now on, Commander, please don't refuse."

Veneto took his hand and placed it on her thigh. Even in the warm water, she could still feel his different temperature, and it was even more captivating than the warm water in the bathhouse.

"Hmm... but I remember it was supposed to be at the public bathhouse?"

"Commander, you know, even we have times when it's inconvenient to face things. Of course, what I mean is..."

Before we can be honest with each other, how about we be honest with each other first?

After saying that, Littorio kissed him on the lips, saying that before being honest with others, one should be honest with oneself first.

Chapter 314 The Roman Empire

"I'm so sorry! Red bean paste is privately made in Marseille!!"

After a while, Veneto arrived with Rome and the Empire. However, it was clear that Veneto was bowing and apologizing to Rome, while the Empire was nestled in Zheng Ri's arms, or rather, sitting obediently on his lap, being gently dried off with a towel.

"It's alright, Veneto, but let's just hope this doesn't happen again."

Like the Empire, Rome was also not wearing any clothes and did not care about Veneto's standing her up, but her beautiful heterochromatic eyes were fixed on Zheng Ri and ignored Littorio beside him.

"Is this what they call trying to steal a chicken but losing the bait instead, Veneto?"

Compared to Veneto, who was sincerely apologizing, Littorio showed no remorse on his face. Instead, he looked at Veneto with a different gaze, only to be met with a glare from Veneto.

"Wasn't that all because of your idea, Littorio?"

"But you enjoyed it, didn't you? Veneto, okay, I'll admit it."

Empire watched as her sister Veneto and sister Littorio chatted amicably, and couldn't help but glance at the commander who was helping her dry off. After thinking for a moment, Empire decided to just lie down on the commander's lap.

"By the way, are they arguing? Aren't you going to help them, Empire?"

Zheng Ri lifted Empire's smooth arm and used a clean white bath towel to wipe the water droplets from her side. He wasn't usually going to do this, but Empire had come running over when she saw him, and she was soaking wet. Plus, Littorio had handed him the bath towel, so he had no choice but to do it.

However, seeing that Veneto and Littorio were still negotiating, Zheng Ri reminded her to stop fighting.

"Don't worry, Commander. Veneto and Littorio are always like this from time to time. That's... what they call being so loving, right? Hmm, that must be it."

As the commander moved against her body, Empire's lazy expression remained largely unchanged, but a blush still crept onto her face when he saw her completely exposed body.

After all, as a member of the Sardinian Empire, all he needed to do was eat, sleep, and take a bath. How could he be taken care of like this? Especially by someone he liked.

"Got it... Alright, I'm all dried off now. Hurry up and put on some clothes. I know you ship girls won't catch a cold, but I might not."

Zheng Ri carefully dried Empire with a bath towel, not even missing between her toes. Looking at Empire's clean white clothes, Zheng Ri told her to put on some clothes, otherwise it would be difficult to talk to her after his cooldown period was over.

"Okay, Commander, please help me get dressed... My clothes are here..."

Empire glanced at Zheng Ri a few times, then took out his everyday clothes from his ship equipment. However, calling them clothes was really just ship equipment. Looking at the clothes casually placed aside, Zheng Ri was somewhat amused and exasperated.
