My ship girl setup is off...

Page 88

U556 was playing in the shallow sea with U47 when she suddenly remembered something very important: today was the day the Commander was coming to Sangvis Ferri, so her older sister should be going too, and she should go as well.

"Hmm... it's too late now. Lord Bismarck has already gone to pick up the Commander. We're late."

Unlike the fun-loving U556, U47 is used to being alone in peace and quiet. Recently, she has been bothering me more, so I've gotten used to her nagging around me.

Although they were using underwater communication equipment.

"Besides, you know the Commander won't come near us willingly, so I won't go and join the fun..."

U47, who was used to spending her free time in the sea, lay on her shark-shaped hull, stretching out her plump body, which was even more voluptuous than that of other destroyers. Then she rolled over and lay down, like a salted fish turning over to continue sunbathing.

"That's true... but I'm planning to go see the Commander this afternoon, do you want to come?"

Riding on her pink fish, U556 swam to her side, making suggestions, and then unconsciously glanced at U47's body, unable to resist comparing them.

Everyone's a submarine, so why does she stand out so much? I don't have any advantages, but wearing less clothing should be considered an advantage, right? U556 couldn't help but think.

"Perhaps... No need, Lord Bismarck and the Commander are already here."

U47 glanced at U556's eyes and knew what his friend was doing, but he didn't understand why, knowing he couldn't compete, he would deliberately humiliate himself.

However, just as U47 was about to end the topic, she sensed someone walking towards her from the shallows. It felt familiar, but there was an unfamiliar person beside her. However, the voice coming from the ship girl network was that of a familiar person.

"Huh? The Commander's here? Let's go see the Commander! Oh, and should we bring U81 and U96 too?"

Knowing that U47 wouldn't lie to her, U556 said happily, then ordered her ship equipment to accelerate and follow her, speeding up towards the sun. But then she asked U47, saying she was a little undecided.

"Go ahead and shout, I think the commander wants to see all of us."

U47 spoke nonchalantly, saying that she was more interested in seeing the Commander as soon as possible than this matter.

"Bismarck, you're saying they're all here?"

Bismarck and his companion strolled leisurely to a seemingly ordinary beach. They did not see any of their Ironblood submarines, and the sea appeared calm, with only some faint footprints on the sand indicating that someone had been there.

"Well, because of the nature of U556 and the others being in a shallow area, they don't usually go on missions or work, so they stay in this position."

Bismarck held Masaharu's hand and explained to him, then pointed to the sea. After less than ten seconds, two figures emerged from the sea one after the other and waved to Masaharu.

"Commander! You've come looking for us?! And Bismarck too!"

U556, which had swum across the shallows, retrieved its ship equipment, then jumped into Zheng Ri's arms with a happy smile on its face, before looking at Bismarck.

It's double the joy to have your favorite person and the person you respect most come to visit you.

"Commander...you've arrived?"

The U4 is slightly slower than the U556.

7 also came to Zheng Ri's side. Although she didn't rush into the commander's arms like she did, she still tactfully clung to his arm. Despite having half her face covered by a mask, she didn't show any expression.

"Yes, I've come looking for you, my submarines, U556 and U47. I wouldn't have come looking for you if Bismarck and the others hadn't been here."

Zheng Ri chuckled as he patted U556's head, then looked at the arm that was holding him and patted U47's head in the same manner. However, U556 realized what was happening and wanted to be hugged too, but looked at Bismarck instead.

"Don't look at me, U556. If you want to hug me, just go ahead. I won't say anything."

U556's reaction made Bismarck want to shake her head. She hadn't done anything yet, and this was already happening?

"Hehe, thank you Bismarck-sama! Commander, hug~"

After receiving Bismarck's permission, U556 came to his other side and hugged the commander. Rather than snuggling into his arms, she preferred to hug him from the side.

After entangled for a while, the two small submarines finally released Zheng Ri, but although they released him, they still circled around him.

"By the way, why are there only you guys? Where are the others?"

Being watched by two adorable submarines, Zheng Ri squatted down and even looked at them. It has to be said that they were really cute, although the size of U47's chest was not something that a submarine could have.

"Ah, I've already messaged them to come over, but some of them are swimming quite far apart, so it'll take a little while. Others have already gone on a mission."

U556 was reminded by Zheng Ri's words that her other colleagues hadn't arrived yet. They were all sharks who would chase after blood if they smelled it, so why hadn't they arrived yet? The commander had already arrived.

U47, however, didn't care. She was used to being alone and solitary and actually hoped that they would come slowly so that she could spend more time with the commander, even if they didn't talk and there weren't many people around.

However, while she thought this way, reality rarely goes according to plan. Less than a minute later, she could sense her colleagues rapidly approaching, the first to arrive being...

"Oh dear, I didn't expect to be the fastest one, Bismarck-sama, and also, Commander!"

The first to log in was U96. After logging in, he saw that he was the fastest. After sighing, he ran straight to Zheng Ri and hugged him.

"Oh, it's U96! I've been waiting for you for ages!"

He hugged her tightly, looking at the submarine ship girl with pigtails and diving goggles in his arms. He smiled and stroked her hair, then saw her look up at him and suddenly fell silent.

"Commander, how about a date with me? The kind that goes to the sea, it'll be amazing."

Chapter 246 Be Honest

"Well, I can think about it."

Zheng Ri wasn't intimidated by U96's sudden invitation. Instead, he thought about it seriously and felt it was acceptable. In fact, he couldn't find a reason to refuse.

"Really? That's great! In that case, Commander, you'll have to come see me tomorrow!"

U96, who thought she would be rejected, couldn't help but widen her eyes. She didn't expect it to be just a casual invitation. In that case, she had to be prepared.

U96's successful invitation surprised U556 and U47, who were standing nearby. Wasn't it said that the commander had no interest in small boats? Now it's like they can finally bring it up?

Suddenly, they all started thinking about inviting the commander over to their homes.

The submarines were happy, but Bismarck, who was next to the main character, was a little disappointed. She had originally thought that she could be with the commander or her sister today, but now her sisters had to take priority, and the contrast was immediately apparent.

As it happened, Nichiri noticed the disappointment on Bismarck's face, so he took her hand and comforted her.

"It's alright, Bismarck. Today I mainly wanted to spend time with you, and also, I wanted to see you wear something special, like the one I bought for you."

"Yes, I understand, Commander..."

Bismarck, whose hand was being held, blushed slightly upon hearing his words. The group chat was full of people saying that the Commander had some unusual fetishes, so she had to change her clothes. Thinking of this, Bismarck's face turned even redder, and she couldn't help but smile shyly.

"Oh... Congratulations, Bismarck!"

Seeing her older sister's expression, U556 immediately offered her congratulations, her face beaming with excitement. How could she not congratulate her favorite and most respected person on doing something good?

After that, Jeongil encountered the other submarines: U110, U81, U557, and U410.

However, when Zheng Ri saw U410, he felt that the weight on its chest was far greater than the average person's, and it looked like a submarine traitor like U47.

Little Gaga was furious.

"Hmm? What's wrong with the Commander? Is he attracted to my outfit? This won't do~"

U410 felt the commander's gaze lingering on her chest from time to time.

He smiled happily, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Zheng Ri felt as if he were being stared at by a sharp gaze. This scrutinizing look left Zheng Ri unsure how to respond.

"Commander, U410 is asking you a question. How should you answer?"

Seeing that Masaharu didn't know how to respond, Bismarck took the initiative to make him accept this gaze and correct his thinking: yes or no.

"I...I, you're right, I was indeed attracted to your outfit, U410."

Under the watchful eyes of his own small submarines and Bismarck, Zheng Ri hesitated slightly, but still admitted his thoughts.

"That's right, Commander. We didn't say you were restricted from being with that girl, but it would be hypocritical of you to pretend you have no feelings for her."

Bismarck was somewhat pleased by the fact that the day was being taken to the initiative, since everyone had to be treated equally for the sake of the Grand Paradise project.

"Fine... I didn't expect to get a lecture from you, Bismarck."

Faced with Bismarck's encouragement, Masaharu felt that something was wrong, but then again, nothing seemed wrong, so he nodded in agreement with what she said.

"Lord Bismarck is right, Commander. If you continue like this, I might not be able to resist launching a sneak attack."

U410 held his hand, speaking to him affectionately, and trying her best to highlight her physical advantages by constantly pressing herself against him. This sparked a secret competitive spirit among the other submarines, since they were all ruthless wolves, and whoever was the most capable would become the alpha wolf and get the biggest piece of meat.

"Commander, I'll give you a lollipop, will you hug me?"

However, no matter how much the other wolves fawned over her, U110 couldn't get involved. So she could only take out her favorite pink lollipop and hand it to him, wanting him to hug her.

"Of course, my adorable little garlic shark~"

When Zheng Ri saw U110 giving him a lollipop, he thought the little shark was adorable. Although it looked a lot like someone else, it was her, and she was his precious one.

However, just as Zheng Ri was about to pick her up, she bit him because he was angry that she called him a garlic shark. There was nothing he could do but obediently coax him and tell him not to be angry.

Seeing this harmonious scene before him, Bismarck smiled the whole way. This was exactly the kind of development he needed, even if it meant sleeping with his wife in the end.

Afterwards, under Bismarck's leadership, Zheng Ri and a group of small submarines arrived at the Ironblood's dining area. After all, the Ironblood's personnel were not particularly large, and they were used to this operating mode, so they naturally got used to eating together.

"Ah?! It's you, sir! Good day, sir! Lord Bismarck, what would you like to eat? I can prepare it for you immediately."

When Masaru and Bismarck arrived at the dining area with their submarines, they saw Seidlitz quickly preparing ingredients. However, as soon as she turned her head and saw Masaru, she immediately put down the ingredients she was holding and came to him to salute.

"Um, you don't need to call me that. Just call me Commander, or call me by my name... either way is fine."

Seeing Seidlitz's respect for him, Zheng Ri felt it was nice, but a bit too formal. So he thought about asking her to change how she addressed him, but seeing her face gradually darken, he decided against it.

"Phew, thank you for your understanding, sir. I still prefer to address you that way."

Seidlitz relaxed a little. Changing the way he addressed her all of a sudden was too quick. If he was going to change it, he should change it to something more intimate.

"Alright, but are you handling this all by yourself?"

Zheng Ri glanced slightly behind Seidlitz; there was a kitchen inside, but she was only serving in the front.

"No, Elbe and Miss Tirpitz are in the kitchen, working on it right now. Most of the food here is prepared in advance. But what would you like to eat, sir?"

Knowing his confusion, Seidlitz explained it to him, but more important than that was what he wanted to eat.

"I see... Well then, I'll have a traditional crispy roasted pork knuckle!"

Chapter 247 A Feast with the Submarines

"Ta-da! Elbe's personally made super delicious crispy roasted pork knuckle! Now it's for the Commander! Hehe~"

Yi Bei, carrying a large plate of food in both hands, walked briskly to Zheng Ri's side. After placing the super-sized crispy roasted pork knuckle in front of Zheng Ri, Yi Bei's face showed an expression of pride, and he put his hands on his hips.

They practically had "Come and praise me!" written all over their faces.

However, Zheng Ri looked at the portion of what was almost a whole roasted pig's trotter in front of him. The golden-orange crispy skin was covered with raised bubbles, and the edges were slightly charred, which made it look like the heat of the cooking. In addition, some pickled cabbage was placed around it.

Putting everything else aside, the portion size alone looks more than enough; you wouldn't need to eat any more dinner after eating this.

"Wait! Sister Yi Bei, why is the Commander's item so heavy?"

Seeing the large portion on the commander's table, U81 looked at her own small plate, which seemed insignificant compared to the commander's pork knuckle, and felt it was unfair.

"Since it's the Commander's first time visiting our restaurant, we should definitely give him a little extra for the first time."

Right? Oh, and there's also mashed potatoes, white sausage, a bacon cold platter... and the inevitable stout."

As if flattering the commander, Yi Bei practically offered all the food in the dining area to Zheng Ri, placing each dish next to him. The sumptuous dishes attracted the small submarines, and even U110, which was being held in Zheng Ri's arms, showed a longing expression on its face, while looking at the lollipop in its hand.

Suddenly, it didn't taste so good anymore.

"I think I only ordered a pork knuckle and a dark beer... Where did all this come from?"

Looking at the dishes that already filled a quarter of the table, Zheng Ri suddenly realized that he hadn't ordered anything.

"Oh~, well, Commander, just think of this as giving me special treatment, the kind that's perfectly aboveboard. How about it? Commander, are you going to give me a proper compliment? I'll mercifully accept it!"

They even set out the knives to make it easier for him to eat the pork knuckle, and filled the beer bottles. Yi Bei said with a happy face, as if he was about to get angry if you didn't praise him.

"Okay, thanks, Yi Bei. By the way, are you free these next few days? How about we go out and talk?"

Seeing the dishes on the table, Zheng Ri tried to invite Yi Bei out. After all, she must have worked hard to prepare such a meal, so he decided to invite her out for some fun.

"What?! Really?! Uh, I mean, Commander, since you've said that, you'll be angry if I don't accept it, right? Well then, I guess I'll just have to reluctantly accept it."

When Zheng Ri suggested going on a date, Yi Bei's expression became excited. He slammed his hands on the table, the force of which slightly shook the dishes. Then he reverted to his true nature, speaking with a hint of arrogance.

"Sure, how about tomorrow afternoon? Let's go out and have some fun."

Zheng Ri stroked U110's white hair and said with a smile, "Now that you've said it, how can you easily change your mind?"

"Then, I'll be prepared. Commander, you should be prepared too."

Having confirmed once again that the commander wanted to have a date with her alone, Yi Bei became shy. Just thinking about how she could eat, drink, play, and rock the bed tomorrow afternoon filled her with longing. After giving him a few words of advice, she went back to the kitchen.

"Commander, I can tell you're quite busy."

Bismarck witnessed the Commander's interactions with Elbe. It has to be said that the Commander is quite busy even when he doesn't care about port affairs. Today he's having fun with me, tomorrow morning he's with U96, and tomorrow afternoon he's going on a date with Elbe.

Thinking of this, Bismarck's gaze towards Masaharu couldn't help but become slightly resentful. Her beloved was spending time with other ship girls after spending time with her, and she felt somewhat dissatisfied, even if it was to be expected.

"Well, actually I'm not that busy. After all, I need to balance things out. If I don't go to hell, who will?"
