However, it wasn't just Helena; even Cleveland and the others blushed. After all, they said it in words, but their expressions were quite different when they actually said it.
"Uh... never mind, I was just saying..."
Seeing Helena's expression, Zheng Ri was stunned for a moment. He hadn't expected Helena to be serious. He decided to give up; things were too chaotic.
Seeing the expression on Jung-il's face, Helena was reminded of what had just happened, and couldn't help but feel angry. She decided that after going back today, she would ignore her sister tonight.
Then the car quieted down. Some chewed bubble gum, some looked at the scenery, and some slept while hugging the commander. It seemed that nothing had happened, but in reality, both Columbia and Montpellier were holding Zheng Ri's arms.
Denver was even more restless, sitting directly on him, her arms wrapped around his neck, feeling the soft touch and the scent of milk that emanated from him, and began to have impure thoughts.
"By the way... are there any places to go shopping in our port area?"
Touching her two slender legs, one on each side, Zheng Ri took the initiative to break the ice, saying that the atmosphere couldn't stay like this forever.
"Yes, but it was only recently set up, um... a commercial street. The main reason is that most of the ship girls in the port don't need to attend missions now, and they are dispatched in rotation. Basically, it's all arranged by Enterprise and the others."
"So some ship girls are neither idle nor allowed to be absent from missions, so they're made to run shops or something. Some of the more homebody ones just laze around and wait to die, or wait for you, Commander, to go find them. Otherwise, some of them never even leave the house."
Columbia, his face slightly flushed, chewed his bubble gum. Then, feeling the commander's fingers gradually moving upwards, he accidentally blew the bubble gum out of control. He couldn't help but glance at him and then began to explain.
"I have a feeling you're implying something about someone..."
"No need for hints, it's the person you're thinking of, Commander. Well, it's good that you know, Commander."
Seeing that the commander and Columbia were chatting happily, Denver couldn't help but bury his face even deeper into his chest. Unfortunately, his own size was not large enough to provide enough softness for Columbia to lean on.
"How come I... didn't know about this?"
Noticing Denver's hand constantly stroking her hair and secretly touching her chest, Zheng Ri could only bury his face in her chest after he finished speaking and then gently inhale.
"Regarding this, it was Enterprise who brought it up recently, and we've all been working on it together. After all, we can't let most people be idle; that's a very useful saying. Also... Denver, the Commander will be very troubled by what you're doing."
Cleveland drove with his eyes fixed on the road ahead, then answered Zheng Ri's questions, before glancing briefly in the rearview mirror to remind Denver not to overdo things.
"I think the Commander will still be very happy, right? After all, the Commander isn't like you, impotent."
Hearing his older sister's words, Denver immediately sought help from the commander. Especially feeling the suction force, Denver didn't want to let go.
"really"
After saying that, Zheng Ri continued with his work, and also helped Columbia and Montpellier turn on the water valves. He wasn't incapable of it himself, and if they liked it, then there was nothing wrong with it.
Upon hearing Zheng Ri's words, Cleveland didn't refute them. He just hoped that the Commander wouldn't forget himself, otherwise... otherwise there was nothing he could do but join in.
After all, the idea of doing anything to the commander was best left unsaid. It was better to let things be as they were. Besides, wasn't this how things should be? Cleveland couldn't help but think.
Columbia, sensing something amiss, no longer wanted candy. Instead, she turned the commander's face towards her and kissed him to deepen their bond.
Chapter 218 The First Step in Eating, Drinking, and Having Fun
"So this is the commercial street?"
Looking at the row of shops in front of me, it was just like the streets I'd seen in big cities before—rows upon rows of shops, cafes, karaoke bars, snack shops, video game arcades, and even a Uniqlo.
The only difference is that the shop assistants are mostly their own ship girls, and there aren't many ship girls shopping there; you can only see a few people here and there.
"Well, since it's a newly developed project, there aren't any people here yet. But that's fine, new stores usually offer discounts, after all, money needs to circulate."
Columbia glanced at the commander, whose two sides were each occupied by his older sister and Helena, and could only silently explain, thinking it was a bit of a pity.
"Columbia is right, but it's not just for circulation; it's also for passing the time. After all, we can't be thinking about commanders and battles 24 hours a day, can we?"
Cleveland held Zheng Ri's hand, looked into his eyes and explained, also a little nervous, since they said they were going shopping but didn't actually have a route planned.
"So, Daddy, you miss me a lot?"
While looking around at the shops, Masaru noticed the meaning of the Cleveland dialect. So all his ship girls were like this?
"Yeah, our boss usually talks to us about you, Commander. Although she often doesn't pay attention to things, she's very concerned about you."
Montpellier, standing next to Cleveland, nodded and spoke. Seeing the teasing look on Zheng Ri's face, she couldn't help but explain, a smile appearing on her face. However, Cleveland herself wasn't so natural; her face flushed slightly after her sister's comment.
"Yes, yes, Commander, let me tell you, not only that, Big Sister also pays close attention to your news and updates, and sometimes she also talks to Helena..."
My sisters and I were chatting together, and it made me a little jealous listening to them talk about you.
Denver, too, stood with his arms crossed over his chest, talking incessantly about Cleveland and Helena, completely oblivious to the blushing cheeks of Cleveland and Helena. In the end, it was Cleveland who pulled the little rascal away before he finally shut up.
"Denver, if you say another word, don't blame me for coming back to haunt you!"
Cleveland, her face already flushed and unable to meet Zheng Ri's gaze, looked at Denver and warned her not to talk nonsense. However, Denver was already used to her boss's so-called warnings, so she just laughed it off and shut her mouth without saying another word.
"Phew... Commander, Helena's main purpose this time is to show you around and do some research, to see what the other sisters think."
"By the way, I'll cover everything this time, Commander. Order whatever you want to eat, feel free to take whatever you like. After all, we've been fighting the Sirens for so long, we have quite a bit of money."
Cleveland turned his gaze to the Commander and Helena, smiling and revealing his white teeth. After all, he was the so-called organizer and was responsible for covering the expenses himself.
"No need, Cleveland, let me pay. I feel a little embarrassed that I'm always spending your money. Here, I'll cover it."
Zheng Ri released Cleveland and Helena's hands, then hugged them both tightly. Looking at the different expressions on their faces, Zheng Ri patted their heads and said something.
"Commander... I have no objections."
Feeling the warmth of Zheng Ri's body and his embrace, Helena couldn't help but nod. Although it was nice for the Commander to be taken care of by her, it was also nice to have the Commander take care of her occasionally.
"Well... I don't have any objections to that, but Commander, did you bring any money?"
Cleveland was the same. When Zheng Ri hugged her, her body trembled slightly, but she relaxed. Especially when she smelled his scent, her body couldn't help but feel weak. She agreed to his request, but she was still a little curious whether the Commander had brought any money.
"Cough... Of course I brought some. I already said I'd take care of you. How could I say that if I didn't have money?"
Zheng Ri smiled slightly. How could he forget? After all, he had just gotten it from Aunt Sheng, even though the price was that he had to drink a lot of water.
"Commander, what about us?"
Columbia tugged at his clothes from behind and asked, blinking, "If his older sister has one, then surely we younger sisters have one too?"
"Of course, how could I forget you?"
"Great!!"
Then, Zheng Ri carried Cleveland and Helena to the Sakura Empire's snack shop, one on each side, since the purpose of coming here was definitely to eat, drink, and have fun.
"Dingling~"
"Welcome, guest! Oh, it's the Commander! Ah... what would you like to eat?"
Hatsuyuki, who was setting out menus and adding drinking water, turned around when she heard the doorbell. She then noticed that the person who came in was the Commander. Her brass eyes lit up instantly, and she immediately turned around, wanting to pounce on him.
But then he suddenly remembered that he was a waiter, and immediately stopped his legs from jumping over.
"First Snow, so you're still a waitress here. By the way, what kind of food do you have here? Do you have yakitori?"
Masaharu noticed that the ship girl in front of him dressed as a waitress was his Hatsuyuki, but unfortunately not the magical girl Hatsuyuki, though she was still just as cute.
"Oh... Commander, this is a pizza shop. We don't have yakitori here; you have to go to the shop across the street run by Flying Dragon and Azure Dragon. But my pizza is really delicious!"
"I see. But that works out too. Cleveland, what do you guys think? Want some pizza?"
Noticing that Chuxue was staring at him, Zhengri decided it was better to eat there; after all, he was eating somewhere else, and he was already here.
"Commander, I have no objection. Eat here if you want."
"me too"
Cleveland glanced at Zheng Ri. He didn't care where they ate; the main thing was to eat, drink, and have fun with the Commander.
"That's fine then. First Snow, bring the menu over."
Seeing that they had no objections, Zheng Ri chose a spot that was right next to the window. Looking at the walkways and flowerpots outside the glass window, he suddenly realized that this must cost quite a bit of money.
"Guest, just tell me what you'd like to eat, and I'll have the kitchen bring it to you right away."
First Snow handed the menu to Zheng Ri, speaking close to him.
Chapter 219 Purpose
"Hehe~ Welcome, guests! Please come again next time!"
As Hatsuyuki watched Masaharu leave, she waved her arm at him. She wanted to get closer to the Commander again, but alas, she wasn't the main character.
"Montpellier, what do you think of this pizza?"
As Masaharu emerged from the pizzeria, he watched the ship girls enjoying their meal and then asked Montpellier a question, since she hadn't said much while they were eating.
"Hmm, I think it's alright."
Montpellier glanced at Zheng Ri, smiled and nodded, not expecting the commander to suddenly show concern for him.
"Hey, Commander, let me explain. Montpellier means that the taste is only above average, not terrible."
It's really delicious, Commander. Maybe you should have the head lady show you what a real pizza is like sometime.
Denver, having eaten and drunk his fill, rested his hands behind his head and gave him a meaningful smile, clearly shifting the topic to Cleveland. Zheng Ri followed Denver's lead and looked at Cleveland, noticing her somewhat hesitant manner, and became curious.
Kelvin can do this too?
"It's alright. If the Commander wants some, I can make you a plate sometime. It's not difficult at all."
Noticing his gaze, Cleveland puffed out his chest slightly and said, "What's a mere pizza?"
"Okay, I'm looking forward to it. Shall we go buy some clothes now? It's been so long since I bought you guys any clothes!"
As he spoke, Zheng Ri's hands, which were holding Cleveland and Helena, involuntarily began to move towards their buttocks. Feeling the smooth and soft touch, he still didn't want to let go.
Keep in mind that both Cleveland and Helena were wearing skirts, which could be touched with just a slight lift. Moreover, Helena was wearing stockings, and they were on the street. When she got nervous, she felt her hand being squeezed tightly and couldn't let go.
Helena felt the commander's hand stroking and kneading her buttocks. The smile on her face gradually faded, replaced by a girlish shyness and blush.
Even though they've already had a close relationship, being seen like this on the street will still attract attention...
The more Helena thought about how the commander was doing such a thing to her in the street, the redder her face became, and her legs began to feel wet.
"Commander...this is a public place...this isn't appropriate. How about we find a shop to go inside first?"
Like Helena, Cleveland, who was being groped by the sun, also blushed. Although she was happy to be taken advantage of, no, she was very happy, but it was too embarrassing, since some ship girls on the street would be watching.
Even though they won't come over to say hello, they'll keep staring at you, which is really inappropriate.
Thinking of this, Cleveland grabbed Zheng Ri's arm, stopping him from doing anything reckless. It wasn't that he couldn't come, but that it was too reckless, and they couldn't accept this kind of behavior yet.
Most importantly, his own sister was right there beside him!
Denver and the others walked side by side. Although they had heard what their leader said and even looked back, they all remained silent, as this was an opportunity to strengthen their bond.
"Alright, that's settled then. Sorry, if I had known you wouldn't like it, I wouldn't have done it."
After being pleaded with by Cleveland and Helena, Zheng Ri obediently let go of their hands and apologized to them. He felt a little strange, as if he had gotten used to this.
"N-nothing, it's not the Commander's fault. Let's go buy clothes, Commander."
When Zheng Ri's hand came out of her buttocks and let go, Helena felt a sense of loss, as if something important had left, a strange emptiness, and even felt that this was how it should be.
However, Helena quickly shook her head. "No, you can't do this, Helena."
Then, Zheng Ri walked into a shop. As soon as he entered through the automatic door, he saw beautiful clothes on display, and then he saw a ship girl sleeping.
"Get up, landlady!"
"Ah? Ah... it's the Commander... Welcome, Commander! So it's you carrying everyone here with White Eagle. How nice."
Startled awake, Shropshire raised his head and saw the sea knights with the white eagles approaching behind Zheng Ri. He couldn't help but speak his true feelings.
"Shropshire? You own this place?"
Looking at the ship girl with the high ponytail in front of him, Masahi quickly recognized her as the wicked woman with the hair clip.
"What are you saying, Commander? If I hadn't been the one to open it, you wouldn't have been able to see me. Anyway, let's not talk about that. Commander, is there anything you and your wives would like to see? I can help you choose what you need~"
Shropshire explained to him with a smile, then stood up from the cashier, intending to demonstrate his role as a shop assistant.
"No need, Shropshire. Let the commander choose for us. You just need to rest."
Seeing her approaching him, Cleveland refused her, because the same thing had happened with Frostleaf earlier. She had approached him when ordering or having food delivered, and even said she wanted to feed the Commander. That was definitely not acceptable.
"Don't be like that, Sea Knights. I won't compete with you for the Commander. It might not be the best way to put it, but maybe combining our opinions will make it easier to get what you like~"
Seeing Cleveland's rejection, Shropshire said with a smile, "Just kidding. It's rare to have a chat with the Commander, and you just get rejected like this? Then there's no point in opening a shop here."
"Shropshire, let us handle this. I've already chosen for Helena and the others, how about we talk again?"
Looking at those who were unwilling to leave
In Shropshire, Zheng Ri knew what she was thinking; in fact, they all basically thought the same thing.
"Hmm~, since the Commander has said so, then alright."
