Wang Yu had a vague premonition that his status as a Commander in the naval base was gradually decreasing.
The Ship Girls' methods of flirting with their Commander were steadily escalating.
Meanwhile, his understanding of his Ship Girls remained stuck in his initial impressions from the game, and most of them he could barely remember anymore!
He had unknowingly fallen several versions behind, so how could he keep up with the ever-evolving emotional needs of the Ship Girls in the naval base?
He must keep pace with the times!
Thinking this, his attention, which had just been diverted by Gascogne's astonishing action, returned to himself.
Wang Yu only felt his head start to ache again, even more than before, but Glorious was still here, so he couldn't very well ask Gascogne to do it again.
Glorious seemed to notice Wang Yu's expression and directly said, "Commander, you should rest for a bit. Gascogne just arrived and isn't familiar with the situation in the naval base yet. I'll take Gascogne to get acquainted with our naval base first, and introduce her to its various situations and past events.
While we're at it, we can also check the defensive perimeter around our naval base. It just so happens that I'm a bit overwhelmed with the inspection duties for the naval base all by myself. With Gascogne helping to rotate shifts, I can get a little rest."
Wang Yu nodded; he felt he really needed a good rest right now, and Glorious's suggestion couldn't have been better.
Seeing this, Glorious smiled and walked forward, taking Gascogne's hand and heading outside. She patted York's head, and York reluctantly followed Glorious out.
After everyone had left, Wang Yu finally relaxed.
He prepared to get a good night's sleep to recover.
Large-scale construction is mentally and physically exhausting; his Commander is simply too hardworking!
...
In a distant, unknown sea area, an unknown secret discussion was taking place.
This was a major event for the entire Siren.
The anomaly was fluctuating violently again, and the biggest result was that...
Zero Carrier was about to awaken!
...
With new and powerful companions joining the naval base, life there was thriving, but correspondingly, Wang Yu felt his status in the naval base had further diminished.
His stomach wasn't good, so he had to eat more soft food to get it down.
He had initially thought that after summoning more Ship Girls, he wouldn't have to worry about the various affairs of the naval base, and he could peacefully take care of his body and nurse his ailing stomach.
But things weren't developing quite right. Wang Yu felt it was necessary to talk about the fact that his wife was a workaholic!
Ship Girls, after all, are different from ordinary people.
As miraculous products of the Wisdom Cube, Ship Girls are maidens born from the souls of warships and the beautiful hopes of countless people. Every Ship girl possesses beauty far exceeding that of ordinary people. They are either youthful and radiant or petite and adorable; each is extremely charming, as if embodying all the beauty in the world. Glorious and Gascogne are even among the best of them.
In Wang Yu's opinion, both Glorious and Gascogne were the type that became more beautiful the more you looked at them.
Glorious, at first glance, made one feel she was sacred and beautiful, like a pure, flawless narcissus, inspiring no thought of defilement.
And after you inevitably fall in love with this narcissus, your soul will drown in the spring of tenderness, unable to escape, only to sink forever.
Gascogne was different.
She was stunning at first sight!
That indifference that seemed to transcend the mundane world,
That otherworldly countenance and that incomparably pure face,
At first glance, it was enough to capture the Commander's heart...
And those affectionate calls of "Idol" coupled with the occasional head tilt revealing a slightly confused and lost expression were her sharpest weapons.
So sharp that they could pierce the Commander's chest and firmly tie down his heart.
These qualities made her stand out in the fiercely competitive naval base, becoming one of his favorite Ship Girls.
A pair of mechanical ears floated behind her head, gently trembling with her movements.
The circular headpiece looked a bit different, as if it had just been changed today.
Her light blue hair was as clear as seawater, and a few strands of Prussian blue highlights were swept aside by an iron hand, revealing a delicate face like a porcelain doll.
When quiet, she resembled a doll, too beautiful to be alive.
In her star-flecked eyes, pale golden cross-shaped pupils reflected his face.
Wang Yu suddenly sat up straight.
He only then came to his senses, realizing that he had only processed a small portion of the documents on his desk.
His attention had completely drifted to Da Jia Jia at some point, and Da Jia Jia had also walked up to him at some unknown time.
She leaned forward slightly, peering over.
Their eyes met, and her flawless, delicate face appeared before him; he could even see the faint rosy blush flowing beneath her exquisitely soft cheeks...
He was caught red-handed peeking!
And during work hours!
Wait, why should I have to sneak a peek at my own wife!
"Judgment - Master's state is considered slacking... Hmm... not very good, is it?"
Damn it, Da Jia Jia, it's only because you're so beautiful.
Some research suggests that Secretary Ships significantly reduce the work efficiency of some Commanders, which has been met with unanimous opposition from many Commanders, who provided enough supporting data to silence the research experts.
I only zoned out for a little while...
Aren't Commanders human? Don't they need to rest after commanding?
Da Jia Jia, please don't hold the Commander to your own standards, okay?
Can't a Commander look at his Secretary Ship while working?
Gascogne looked at Wang Yu's expression of utter despair and felt a little strange.
The Commander's reaction is so odd...
Her own analysis showed that there was over a 97% probability that the Commander was slacking in the current situation. According to the Secretary Ship behavioral guidelines, she should remind the Commander to get back to work in this situation.
Gascogne quickly ran through the Secretary Ship behavioral guidelines in her mind.
This rule is correct!
She was clearly acting according to the standard module's behavioral logic, so why did the Commander look so utterly dejected? Did the Commander not understand what she was saying?
No, such a situation had never occurred in the naval base before.
The probability of the Commander failing to understand Gascogne's words was less than 10%.
But why?
Analyzing the Commander's current behavior against Gascogne's recorded information and facial expression data showed a huge discrepancy. The Commander's behavior was less efficient, and his expressions were more varied... Hmm... Why did the Commander change?
