St. Louis gave the order.

Honolulu complained, "Why didn't you go and call them yourself? Why do I have to arrange everything?"

“Weren’t you originally my secretary? Isn’t it your job to arrange these things? Besides, you should know the ropes.”

St. Louis stated that he had sufficient reasons and decided on you.

"Ha, writing secretary, but actually I have to do everything, right? You're the boss just because of your lucky charm attribute, aren't you?"

Honolulu was sharp-tongued, but his actions betrayed him as he went to make the phone call to inform them.

"Alright, we can't back down tonight, Helena."

St. Louis put his arm around Helena's shoulder and said.

"Sister St. Louis, you haven't given me any room or time to back down at all..."

Helena muttered.

"Then I'll be bothering you this evening," the company said.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. Thank you for giving this opportunity to my little sister," St. Louis said cheerfully.

…………

"Hmm, Yorktown, where are the companies?"

Hipper arrived at the company's room but did not see the company, which puzzled him.

"I know that!" Bumblebee's eyes lit up when he saw people approaching, and he wanted to go closer.

Although I promised Enterprise Sister... but Enterprise Sister, you know me, your secrets can't be kept from me.

As for my sister in Yorktown... I only promised her that I would stay by her side, but I didn't promise not to tell anyone!

Yorktown smiled and covered Bumblebee's mouth, then warned, "What did you promise?"

"Okay." Bumblebee chickened out; the bug-exploiting attempt failed.

"What...?" Hipper was a little confused, but then he thought that Bumblebee was just that unreliable, so he just let it go.

“Isn’t the company here? I just received a new batch of dark beer and would like to discuss it with them,” Hipper said.

"Actually, the company doesn't drink much," Yorktown declined.

Hipper pretended not to understand: "It's okay, I can't drink either."

Just kidding, how else can you get the company to agree if you don't get her drunk?

"But let's invite you again tomorrow. I might have some things to do at the company today, so I'm not home."

Hipper assumed the company had some kind of mission, so he didn't stay long, only leaving some snacks and such.

After Hipper left, Bumblebee unceremoniously searched for his favorite foods and then remarked.

"What do you think Hipper would think if he knew this marriage certificate was already taken? He'd definitely go crazy, wouldn't he?"

"Perhaps... but that's not something we need to consider." Yorktown said with a smile.

She's very curious about the reaction in the port area tomorrow.

…………

In a dimly lit room somewhere in the port, several sirens and ship girls were inside. The flames in the sirens' eyes, as deep blue as the ocean, added a touch of mystery and eeriness to the entire room.

Are you sure?

A petite figure spoke; it was Nagato.

Nagato, who was originally going to find the commander, had no choice but to come here first because of the urgent contact from the Sirens.

"I'm sure, Yixian and Richelieu, you two had a premonition too, right? Oh, by the way, you can also ask your two little witches when you get back."

The observer's bare little feet swung back and forth, like ice cream, very tempting.

"That's true, there's that kind of subtle connection now."

After receiving affirmative answers from Richelieu and Yatsen, Nagato's gaze deepened.

"Well then, it's necessary to have a meeting to discuss this..."

As one of the three heads of theology, Nagato felt that this was somewhat bullying.

Why is it that only the two wedding ships can sense it? Why are our own two little witches able to sense it too?

Why, why am I, the child of the gods, completely unaffected?!

"As for specific contact details, I suggest we ask Shinano for help..." the builder said after a moment's thought.

"Okay, approved." Nagato nodded. "If you need any manpower, just call us directly and say it was me who said so."

Richelieu and Yatsen also expressed their agreement.

“Then…” The Dream Weaver slowly opened his eyes, seemingly with the relief and relaxation of approaching the end, “Our Creator will be here soon.”

“That…” Richelieu raised his hand, “to be precise, your creator, our… mother-in-law?”

The Sirens: "..."

Chapter 626 Helena: We Won

Although many ship girls have begun to gather and plan for the future in the shadows of the port, life still goes on.

For example, Ren Shuo was invited by the company to attend some kind of party.

Ren Shuo agreed without any hesitation.

Because similar gatherings are held by various factions every now and then, they just have different names for them.

For example, the Northern Union and Ironblood are called a cocktail party, while the Eastern Empire and the Royal are called a tea party. As for the White Eagle and the Sardinian Empire, they are called banquets or parties.

"What important event is happening today that you've invited us to a banquet?"

The Cleveland-class ship girls arrived first, asking questions with energetic expressions.

“Yes, it is indeed a joyous day,” St. Louis remarked meaningfully.

"Hmm, what day is it, Helena?"

Cleveland naturally moved closer to Helena and asked.

"You'll find out soon enough." Helena blushed slightly at the thought of what was about to happen.

Cleveland asked in surprise, "Why is your face red?"

"It's okay, it's just a little hot," Helena said.

"Yeah, tell us, stop keeping us in suspense."

After Cleveland's mention, everyone couldn't suppress their curiosity and asked questions one after another.

"It's a secret, you'll find out soon enough."

St. Louis remained tight-lipped.

"Alright, since St. Louis won't say anything, we definitely won't get any information from him... We'll just wait a bit," Phoenix said casually.

Brooklyn thought for a moment, then complained, "I was planning to work overtime to finish the documents, but you called me here and didn't even tell me what it was about... This is unbearable."

"So you're the new king of overtime? You really enjoy working overtime?"

Phoenix said irritably.

“Well, all I can say is that I like to create my own value… and the port area isn’t like you don’t get paid for working overtime…” Brooklyn said.

Shucheng looked at you, then at her, tightened the mask covering his face, and said nothing.

"Alright, I think you and Chekalov have a lot in common. You two could totally form a 'King of Scrolls' duo and debut."

Phoenix said.

"Everyone's here?"

The door wasn't closed, so Ren Shuo walked right in and saw a large group of people inside, and he smiled.

"commander."

"The commander has arrived."

Everyone greeted each other.

Ren Shuo sat down next to the company and asked, "So what are we having for dinner?"

"Commander, why are you only thinking about food?" Honolulu said with some dissatisfaction.

"I spent a lot of time having fun with Javelin and Z23 this afternoon, so I missed afternoon tea and didn't have much of an appetite at noon, so I'm feeling a bit hungry now."

Ren Shuo explained.

"Are you having a poor appetite? Are you feeling unwell? Would you like the Kitchen Goddess to come and take a look at you?"

Helena said with concern.

As a gentle ship girl who often takes care of Helena and Cleveland, she instinctively asked about his discomfort upon hearing that he was not feeling well.

"That's so nice, our Helena cares so much about the Commander~" St. Louis teased.

"Sister Saint Louis!" Helena exclaimed, slightly embarrassed, then sighed, "So, Commander, do you need me to summon the Vestal Goddess?"

"Hmm, no need, I just suddenly don't feel like eating, it's nothing serious," Ren Shuo said. "Besides, didn't I have a huge appetite tonight?"

"Really... But you must tell me if you feel unwell," Helena said, still concerned.

"Okay, okay, I got it... So, can we begin?" Ren Shuo said.

The businessman glanced at his watch: "Hmm, it should be a few more minutes. Yorktown is cooking today, so it should be ready soon."

“Yorktown… I’m looking forward to it,” Ren Shuo said.

Soon, thanks to Yorktown's superb skills and techniques, a variety of delicious dishes and snacks were served.

Phoenix beamed with delight: "Oh, this is the aroma! It's been so long since I've had Yorktown cooking!"

"Then you must eat more tonight!"

Wearing a pink apron and sporting a gentle smile, Yorktown exuded a wifely charm that made Ren Shuo glance at her a few more times.

"Then let's begin!"

"Cheers!"

Everyone raised their glasses in celebration... although most of them didn't know what they were celebrating.

"Commander, aren't you going to say something?" Cleveland joked after downing his juice in one gulp.

Ren Shuo was both amused and exasperated: "No, we've already toasted, isn't it a bit late to say more now?"

"It's never too late to have a good topic... You can talk about topics that everyone is interested in, like the Z23 wedding ship or something."

Phoenix tried to gossip.

"Ah, Nimi, I guess it was just a lucky coincidence," Ren Shuo said. "Besides, you don't know how hard that young girl works, so I can't let her down."

"Doesn't hard work have to be rewarded? Well then, Commander, look at my Brooklyn! He has tanned skin, a great physique, and most importantly, he's incredibly hardworking—a true king of curls! Commander, why don't you consider him?"

Phoenix, acting as a sales tycoon, said...

"Shut up, all these words can't shut you up..." Brooklyn said irritably, stuffing a large piece of rolled meat into Phoenix's mouth.

“Commander, ignore this brainless guy. Why doesn’t he come by himself? Why does he have to provoke others?” Brooklyn said.

Phoenix struggled to finish what was in his mouth before saying, "Me? It's not that... I wasn't ready."

Ren Shuo smiled. He could tell that Phoenix was just talking nonsense, and even if she did ask for a ring, he would just laugh it off.

If you're prepared and say it seriously, then you'll respond. But if it's just casual talk, Ren Shuo will still treat it as a joke.

"So, it's already begun. What's on your mind? Go ahead and say it."

Cleveland looked toward St. Louis.

St. Louis widened his smile and pulled his sister Helena over: "Ahem... I have something to announce to everyone today, this is my sister."
