"I come!"
After Ticonderoga and Dreadnought had drunk their fill of water, the other ship girls joined the battle one by one until everyone was asleep on the ground.
Chapter 215 Have Fun
"hiss!!"
Within seconds of opening his eyes and staring at the unfamiliar ceiling, Zheng Ri felt a sharp pain all over his body, especially in his lower back, as if he had performed the same movements tens of thousands of times.
It feels like there's nothing left to squeeze out.
Not only that, but I also felt dizzy and lightheaded, as if I had drunk fake alcohol, and my limbs were weak. When I moved my fingers, I couldn't feel anything at all.
Then Masahi turned his neck and saw that on both sides of him were the bodies of ship girls, either their faces or their legs.
"Yo~, Commander, you're awake? Ah, I forgot to separate you from them. Speaking of which, you were really going all out with them!"
Upon hearing the somewhat familiar voice, Zheng Ri immediately recognized who it belonged to: Cleveland.
Cleveland smiled as he watched St. Louis and Shangri-La pinning him down. He then pushed them away and helped Zheng Ri up. However, just as Zheng Ri was about to say thank you, he found himself coughing so hard that he could only manage a hoarse sound.
"Here, Commander, this is some hangover soup I prepared for you. Just drink some. Ah, if you can't move, let me feed you. Drink slowly, drink slowly."
After being helped up by Cleveland, Zheng Ri tried to raise his hand to take the hangover soup that Cleveland had prepared, but found that he didn't have the strength to lift his hand at all. In the end, he could only let Cleveland feed him the soup. When he felt the slightly sour and spicy taste as he drank it down his throat, Zheng Ri felt that his mind was much clearer.
"Phew~, thanks, Cliff..."
"Call me Daddy K!"
Cleveland subtly reminded the commander that he hadn't used his pet name for him.
"Okay, Daddy, yesterday I was playing around with them, and although it was just playing around, we ended up doing things anyway."
After his mouth was moistened, Zheng Ri looked around at the ship girls who were all sleeping in a ball. Well, Jiaozi was still sleeping on the ground.
"Oh, I saw this..."
Cleveland thought about how the living room was covered in spilled liquor, sprayed everywhere, and smelled terrible. He wondered what the company was thinking.
"Hmm...did you make this hangover soup, Daddy?"
After finishing the hangover soup that Cleveland gave him, Zheng Ri found that it tasted good. It not only relieved his hangover and quenched his thirst, but also made him feel like his body was gradually recovering.
"Helena made this. The company said you must have been drinking since they dragged you out to play, so Helena prepared it for you. Oh, she's downstairs helping with it."
Noticing the gratitude in the commander's eyes, Cleveland chuckled and said that he didn't know how to make this, but the commander seemed to like it quite a bit. Cleveland thought that it seemed necessary to learn how to make it, maybe it would come in handy later.
"That's it..."
Hearing Cleveland's words, Zheng Ri looked down at the bowl of hangover soup in his hand, lost in thought. Seeing the commander deep in thought, Cleveland moved his stool to the side and sat down. Looking at his profile, Cleveland scratched his head and tentatively asked:
"By the way, Commander, do you have any plans for today? If not, how about you accompany me, Helena, and me shopping in North Carolina and Washington around noon?"
Cleveland's words brought Zheng Ri back to his senses. Looking at the smile on her face, he then took out his own phone—okay, he realized he had left it in the living room.
"Okay, but what time is it now?"
"It's 10:45 AM now. We'll be done after lunch."
"Alright, I'll go wash up then. Commander, once you're done washing up, you can go downstairs. Just tell Helena what you want to eat."
Cleveland took the plate he had finished drinking from, placed it on the table, and then talked to him about what was going to happen next.
"Alright, what about you, Daddy?"
As for the arrangements made for the ship girls, Masaharu had already subconsciously gotten used to it. In fact, he really didn't know what else to do if he didn't make arrangements for them now.
"As you can see, Commander, they're all still asleep. The ship girls who are awake have already gone down to help with the cleaning, even Columbia and the others are here."
"Uh, is it messy downstairs?"
Cleveland pointed at the ship girls still sleeping on the bed, while giving him a knowing smile, making Zheng Ri realize what he was talking about only later.
"Alright, let's go now. The washroom is by the door next door."
"Okay, thank you, Daddy K."
As Cleveland watched Masaharu walk into the washroom and close the door, the smile on his face vanished. Then, looking at the ship girl still on the bed, he said in a slightly serious tone:
"The commander has already gone to wash up, so you don't need to pretend to be asleep anymore. Get up quickly, and please clean up the stains on your thighs."
Cleveland's words woke up the ship girls who were pretending to be asleep. Seeing them stretching and wiping themselves, Cleveland couldn't help but laugh.
"Do you know that you went too far with the Commander yesterday?"
"Huh? Cleveland, what are you talking about? Wasn't this permitted by the senior executives?"
Essex stretched and picked up her clothes from the floor, putting them on piece by piece. She also activated part of her ship equipment to clean herself up, then looked at Cleveland with a puzzled expression.
"...Enterprise meant to let the Commander experience the openness of Eagle Union, but this is way too open... When Enterprise came back, she saw the living room floor..."
It was all trash and water, so they just sent me, Helena, and Columbia over to help..."
Seeing the bewildered look on Essex's face, Cleveland said somewhat helplessly, especially recalling the expression on the company's face...
"Huh? Helena's here too?"
However, St. Louis didn't care much when he woke up. He just noticed that part of the kimono on the floor was dirty and felt it was a pity, so he decided to wash it by hand.
"Never mind, what was tonight's theme again? Bunny girls?"
Cleveland came up with an itinerary for the commander, but it was just about eating, drinking and having fun. The main purpose was to increase the time the commander spent with the White Eagle, although it didn't have much significance.
"Yeah, wasn't it supposed to be a bunny girl theme, and then Christmas? After Christmas, we'll see who Little Pudding wants to be with."
She casually remarked to herself, dressed in stockings, that she was going to have fun these next two days.
Chapter 216 Having Lunch
After Zheng Ri finished washing up, she had only taken a few steps down the escalator when she saw that the ship girls who had been sleeping in bed were mostly awake and waving at her.
"Commander, you're awake?"
"Yeah, I woke up earlier than you guys, but how come you..."
Looking at Wuwei greeting him, Zheng Ri suddenly realized something was wrong. Didn't he get up earlier than them? How come they were up so fast?
"It's our built-in cleaning function. Okay, Commander, come down now."
"I remember you guys also wash your face and brush your teeth, right?"
"Ritual, oh ritual, Commander! Although we're not human, we can live like humans without any problem. Alright, get down! And don't get hung up on these little details."
Seeing the confusion in his eyes, Wuwei smiled and explained to him, but then he didn't want to continue talking to him, not wanting to pay attention to these chilling things.
"Ah, Commander, you're awake?"
When there was nothing to say during the day, I heard someone calling my name from behind. I turned around slightly and saw...
Helena, dressed casually, was carrying a plate of porridge in both hands, wearing a household apron.
"Of course I'm awake. After all, no matter how much fun you have, you still have to get up and eat, right, Mom?"
Looking at Helena smiling at him, Zheng Ri said confidently that he could skip three meals a day, but he still needed to eat two meals a day, otherwise he would be starving and might faint on the stomach of the ship girls.
"After all, the Commander has been working hard all night and has had so much fun, so he definitely needs to wake up and recharge, haha."
Bumblebee said cheerfully, which made the ship girls who had joined the battle last night laugh in unison, and most of those present were participants.
"You guys had a great time, but we had a lot of trouble cleaning up. Don't just focus on eating; you should also thank us, our leader and Sister Helena."
Denver was annoyed by their laughter. He hadn't even woken up yet when the boss called him over to help clean up Enterprise's house. When he arrived, good heavens, the distance from the living room to the stairs was covered in water stains. The living room was the messiest place and smelled the worst.
"Oh, I see. So the living room is so clean now because of you, Hai Ma and the others. Thank you for your hard work."
Denver's words made Zheng Ri look at the clean living room, which was free of any unpleasant odors. He then thanked Helena and Cleveland.
"Well, it's not exactly hard work, but if you really want to thank someone, Commander, you should thank Helena. After all, we were just cleaning, while Helena not only had to clean but also make breakfast. She's the one who worked hard."
Feeling the commander's grateful gaze, Cleveland smiled slightly and gave the main credit to Helena. Helena didn't say much, but simply nodded to Zheng Ri with a slightly flushed cheek.
"Commander, I know you want to please your sisters, but you also need to take care of your health. Okay, come and eat quickly."
Helena placed the porridge on the glass table, pulled him to Cleveland's seat, and sat on his other side. She gently explained to him the importance of health, after all, the human body has its limits and cannot be squandered. It would be bad if it were wasted.
"My lovely Helena has successfully become what you'd call a virtuous wife."
Watching Helena remind the commander about her body, St. Louis felt that his Helena had become an adorable and lovely wife. Although she still looked a bit immature, she was already quite mature in terms of temperament.
"Sister Louise, you too, although I know it feels good to do those things with the Commander, you still need to be careful..."
Helena's face flushed red as she was teased by St. Louis. Although she was somewhat amused, she turned to lecture her, even though she was her older sister and a married ship like herself.
After reprimanding St. Louis, Helena turned around and scooped up some meat porridge for Jung-il, blowing on it to cool it down before feeding it to him.
And Cleveland, too, gave her homemade breakfast sandwiches to...
They fed him while resting their chins on their hands and looking at him with affection. Helena and Cleveland would wait until he swallowed before taking turns feeding him, or he could gnaw on the food himself.
Zheng Ri was enjoying the food from the wedding ship, and his hands were on their fair legs, which he habitually stroked. However, as he stroked them, he felt something was wrong.
"Commander, what's wrong? Is the cheese not tasty? Or is it clashing with the flavor of Helena's meat porridge?"
Seeing the commander suddenly stop, Cleveland suddenly wondered if the addition of cheese to his sandwich might be causing a conflict between the sweetness of the cheese and the saltiness of the porridge.
"...It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of something harmless..."
Feeling the questioning gazes of Cleveland and Helena, Zheng Ri glanced at Bumblebee and the others again. Seeing that they didn't react, he continued eating. The ship girls who noticed Zheng Ri's gaze smiled knowingly.
Selective indifference, rather than being indifferent, is more accurately described as the intended purpose.
However, Wuwei was a little unhappy, not for any other reason than that his treatment was not as good as that of a regular person, which was just a simple breakfast sandwich.
"unfair"
"There's nothing unfair about it, Fearless. Cleveland and Helena cleaned the living room and prepared lunch for us. If you think it's unfair, you'll just have to do it yourself."
Ticonderoga explained that they were originally just causing trouble for their seniors in the company, but now they don't even have to deal with the mess themselves, which is already considered very good.
That's not what I meant... I'm not going to say anything more.
Wuwei, who seemed hesitant to speak, glanced at Ticonderoga and then fell silent, finishing the sandwich in front of him. However, Zheng Ri was unaware of this matter.
"Her mom, Cleveland's taking us shopping later, are you coming too?"
"Yes, so Commander, you don't need to rush to eat. Take your time."
Helena smiled softly, exchanged a glance with Cleveland, and then stared at him until he finished eating.
Chapter 217 The Generations Are Mixed Up
"Hehe, what's wrong, Hai Ma? Are you still thinking about what just happened?"
Sitting in the middle of the back seat, Zheng Ri looked in the rearview mirror and saw Helena in the passenger seat next to Cleveland, her expression blank and dazed. He couldn't help but laugh and asked her a question.
"No, that's not it, Commander... It's clearly Louise's fault."
Hearing Zheng Ri's laughter, Helena quickly denied it, but this denial only proved that she had indeed been thinking about such things.
"Okay, okay, hahaha, but next time Helena, should you call me Mom Helena or daughter?"
Helena's flushed face made Zheng Ri laugh even louder. Then he thought of a problem: the generational order was all messed up now, so how should they address each other?
"Commander... Sister Helena, what happened to her?"
Seeing Helena's blushing face, Montpellier, sitting next to her, asked a question that seemed to have no meaning. Especially seeing the commander's face, which showed a mixture of wanting to laugh and being conflicted, Montpellier was even more eager to know the ins and outs of the matter.
"Oh, it's nothing. Aunt Saint just saw Helena was going shopping with us, and she wanted to go too. But Helena's mom refused. Then Aunt Saint pretended to cry, saying that Helena had forgotten her mother now that she had a sweetheart, and then she got upset and they started arguing."
"...They started arguing?"
Actually, what Zheng Ri said was a bit of a tongue twister. After thinking for a moment, Montpellier grasped the key words and started arguing.
"Yes, that's how it is, nothing serious. I was just laughing because if you put it that way, I don't even know how to address Helena."
Just thinking about this day makes me laugh. I call Saint Louis "Aunt Saint" and Helena "Mama Helena." Then Mama Helena calls Aunt Saint "Sister," and Aunt Saint calls Mama Helena "Daughter." And then they call me "Dear."
Cats biting their tails and each meowing their own is an example of this.
"...hehe"
Hearing the commander say that, Montpellier thought for a moment and couldn't help but laugh. It really seemed to be the case; the seniority was completely messed up, although the ship girls didn't really care about that.
"...Actually, Commander, if you want to call me your daughter...that's fine too..."
Looking at Zheng Ri's face in the rearview mirror, Helena involuntarily blurted it out for some reason. She was then stared at by the others in Cleveland and immediately realized what nonsense she was talking about. Her fair face quickly turned red, and she lowered her head.
Like an ostrich burying its head in the sand to avoid risks, it's just self-deception.
