“Well… come on then…”

……

Memphis: “Commander, this is the arrangement for the new ship girl, please take a look.”

“Well, let me see… Not bad, you’ve all found positions that suit you and have integrated well into the port area.”

Memphis hesitated: “Commander…”

Levi looked up at Memphis and said, “Huh?”

The girl said shyly: “Tonight…”

Levi lowered his head to process the documents: “Sorry, I already have an appointment tonight.”

“All right……”

After Memphis left, Duisburg crawled out from under the table: “Commander, why didn’t I know you had other plans?”

“Playing dumb here again.” Levi patted Duisburg’s jelly hard: “Let’s go to your cafe.”

Duisburg reluctantly spit out the main gun in his mouth: “Hmm… So it was built so quickly!”

“Yeah, what else? The technology in the port area is shocking.” Li Wei said casually: “Okay, let’s go.”

Duisburg took his clothes out from the corner of the room: “Commander, wait for me a moment – ah, why is there only one coat?”

“It was taken away by Memphis.” Levi put Duisburg’s coat on her and said, “Just leave like this.”

“Well……”

Along the way, Duisburg felt uncomfortable all over, and always felt that someone was looking at him: “Commander, why do I always feel chilly…”

“You’re only wearing a coat, so of course it’s chilly.”

“That shouldn’t be the case.” Duisburg was puzzled. “Even if it’s just one coat… at least it’s windproof… how could it leak?”

“Yeah, how could that be?” Li Wei quietly put down his hand that was holding up his coat from behind: “Why don’t you go away?”

“No…” Duisburg slowed down his pace: “I want to walk slowly…”

“That’s not up to you~” Levi gently exerted force and completely exposed Duisburg to the air: “Just go!”

“Well!”

The setting sun shone on the girl’s hull, giving her a layer of golden light, making her particularly beautiful.

“If you don’t want to be discovered by other ship girls, you have to speed up, okay?” Levi took a few quick steps, making it impossible for Duisburg to get his windbreaker. “I’ll wait for you in your cafe.”

“commander……”

Levi pretended not to hear Duisburg’s “pleading” behind him and walked faster and faster, until he had been waiting in the cafe for more than ten minutes before he saw Duisburg sneaking in.

Levi was in the cafe messaging Memphis, saying he was doing well.

Memphis responded as quickly as possible, saying that at least one round of ammunition would be needed to offset the cost of today’s performance.

“commander……”

Duisburg finally walked into his own cafe.

Levi thought Duisburg might be tired, ashamed, or even angry, but he never expected that Duisburg’s reaction would be to… He didn’t even need to use his fingers to probe outside Duisburg’s core module. He could see at a glance that Duisburg’s core module was being submerged by seawater under the warm yellow light.

“Commander, I…”

“Tsk tsk tsk, I didn’t expect that Duisburg, you actually like…” Levi pretended to have just realized it: “I should have thought of it a long time ago. In the cafe. When you were wearing a bunny girl costume and being stared at by everyone, I felt that your personality was a little different from usual.”

“I didn’t expect it to be true…”

Duisburg was already unable to raise his head after hearing what the commander said: “I… I just…”

“Don’t just anymore.”

The commander’s main gun was already aimed at Duisburg, and the pungent smell of gunpowder coming from the barrel was also ready: “Do you want it?”

Duisburg answered the commander with his own movements.

“Chiliu~”

Chapter 11 Z’s Game Feel

“Z11, open the door, I know you are in there.”

The door of the room was opened, and z11’s little head popped out. The girl’s twin ponytails swayed in the air, and her bare face without makeup made her look less like a landmine. z11 was wearing a cool nightgown, and it was obvious that she hadn’t been out for a while.

After seeing the commander, Z11 asked in surprise: “Commander? Why…why are you here?”

“I heard you haven’t been out for a week. I came to see what’s wrong with you.” Li Wei raised the bag in his hand, indicating that he brought snacks that Z11 liked. “The companions who came with you have already integrated into the life of the port area. How about you?”

Z11 opened the door and welcomed the commander into the house: “I have also integrated into the family…”

The girl took the plastic bag from the commander, opened it and looked at the snacks inside: “Small cakes, biscuits, yogurt, chocolate… Wow, these are all my favorites. The commander is really thoughtful.”

Levi walked into z11’s room and saw a typical otaku’s room – the room was dark with curtains drawn, with only a little light coming from the screen of the game console; the floor was littered with unfinished snack bags. In the rooms of Nagashima, Ayanami and others, Levi had seen the same scene too many times.

“Commander, how do you know I like these snacks?”

Levi didn’t answer, but walked to the window and pulled open the heavy curtains in one go, letting the sunlight into the room.

The originally dim room immediately became bright and was filled with sunlight.

Z11 cried out in surprise: “Aaaaah… the sunlight is so dazzling. If it continues like this, I will melt. After I turn into a pool of jelly, I won’t be able to be with the Commander…”

“…Are you a mushroom? And you’re melting…” Levi was speechless. He turned on the air purifier in the room to remove the smell of snacks from the room: “Okay, come and sit down.”

z11 sat obediently in front of the commander.

“What have you been doing these days?”

“Yeah… I’m playing games with Ayanami, Nagashima and the others.”

“Not bad, you made friends so quickly, and they are from different camps.” Li Wei fully affirmed Z11: “Have you been out for a walk?”

“No.”

“How have you been eating recently?” Levi glanced at the snack packaging bags that the two of them had thrown into the trash can: “You’re not just living on snacks, are you?”

z11 felt a little guilty: “…No. There is Fargo Logistics in the port area. I can order food directly through that software and let Fargo’s drone deliver the food directly to the room… It’s just a little more expensive than eating directly, but it can save a lot of time, it’s very cost-effective!”

“…What did you save so much time for?”

“Of course, it’s playing games!” Z11 became very excited when talking about games. “Before, I was the only one playing games. Although I like it very much, I get a little bored after playing too much. After coming to the port, I didn’t expect that there are so many KanColles who like games.”

“So you just played with them in your room for days?”

“Yes!” z11 excitedly recounted: “Some people are very good at gaming; some are average but very enthusiastic; and some don’t know how to play games at all but still participate enthusiastically. Everyone is very enthusiastic, so we can fully integrate into it.”

“Commander, I’m not the kind of ship girl you said who has not integrated into the port area.”

“What kind are you?”

“Eh? As for me… I’m not bragging, I’m really good at playing games.” Z11 said with a hint of pride: “Except for those famous game masters in the port area, the rest of the ship girls are no match for me.”

“Really? So cool.” Levi took a look at the games on the screen and found that they were all the games that Ayanami had played with him before: “They are all common games in the port area.”

“Commander, can you play games too?” Z11 showed a surprised expression: “Commander, do you want to play games with me? I will give in to you, Commander.”

Levi was also confident in his skills: “Oh, are you so sure you can beat me?”

“Of course~” Z11 seemed to have finally found an opportunity: “Commander, how about we make a small bet?”

Levi said that he had seen many such bets and knew what the ship girls were thinking. However, he still cooperated and asked Z11: “What do you want to bet?”

Sure enough, z11 also said the classic condition: “Let’s bet on the clothes we are wearing. Let’s play the harbor racing game, and whoever loses will be punished. If the opponent laps us, the punishment will be doubled. How about it?”

Levi agreed immediately: “Okay.”

In the first match, Levi lost as expected, and was even trapped by Z11. According to the personnel’s plan, he was prepared because he would be punished twice.

Li Wei took off his shirt and trousers: “Not bad, you still have some skills.”

It was now late July, the hottest time of the year. He didn’t wear much to begin with, and after being double punished he wore even less, leaving only the last bit of protection.

“This is the game I am best at, Commander.” Z11 stared at the Commander’s muscles and said proudly, “In the game I am best at, even that game master Ayanami may not be able to beat me.”

“Oh, I just let you win in the first round.” Levi did not admit defeat: “Next time I will not lose once and complete the comeback.”

“I am looking forward to the Commander’s performance~”

Z11 soon ran out of leeway. She didn’t know why, but she always felt that her control was not as smooth as it was in the first game, and she always wanted to focus on the commander.

As expected, she was defeated by the commander in the second round.

Although she didn’t need to be punished twice as much because she wasn’t hooted, she still lost. Z11 opened her mouth in disbelief, but she still accepted the loss and took off her light pajamas.

Now the two of them are on the same starting line.

Although Levi’s punishment was double, his two pieces were separate; Z11’s pajamas were more like a dress, connected together, resulting in both of them being able to see each other’s health… now.

“The third game will decide the outcome in one round!”

“it is good.”

Apart from z11, it was my own carelessness that caused me to lose the game; I didn’t expect that I would lose even more miserably this time. Not only did I lose, but I was also trapped and had to accept double punishment.

Last time I lost I could find an excuse for myself, but this time I can’t find any excuse at all.

“commander……”

Li Wei silently turned off his hypnosis function: “Z11, how is it, are you convinced?”

Chapter 395 Suddenly Became an Exchange Conference

“Z11, your comm unit keeps ringing.”

“Ayanami sent me a message, inviting me to play games.” Z11 glanced at the message on the communication device and planned to ignore it: “It’s okay Commander, I’ll send a message later saying I didn’t see it.”

Li Wei held up the seemingly small but actually very filling jelly Z11 and said, “Well… it would be boring to leave it alone. Just reply to Ayanami normally and accept the invitation.”

“Eh?” Z11’s fingers trembled as he took his communication device and obediently responded to the commander’s request. Ayanami’s message came again, saying that the room had been built and was waiting for Z11 to join.

“Join the room.”

While directing z11, Levi changed his posture so that z11 could play the game more conveniently without affecting his own movements.

“Hmm… Commander, is this how we play the game?”

“Yeah.” Levi tapped Z11’s jelly. “Not only do you have to play games like this, you can’t lose—didn’t you say you’re good at playing games? If you lose, you have to continue to accept the punishment.”

Z11’s face turned red. She had said confidently before that she was very good at playing games, but she was taught a lesson by the Commander on the spot. Not only was she defeated in the game she was best at, but she also lost by an indisputable large score. When she heard the Commander say that, she felt as if the Commander was teasing her.

“Punish me if I want to, humph! Hmm…”

Entering the game room, the three people inside were already ready, and Levi recognized the other three ship girls at a glance. Ayanami, Nagashima, and Vida, plus Z11, the port area also has a “game-addicted quartet”.

Ayanami’s voice came from the speaker: “Hello, hello?”

z11 typed: “I’m here.”

Ayanami: “Z11 why don’t you turn on the voice?”

Z11 turned to look at the commander, and replied at the commander’s instruction: “I am listening to Lord Lumei’s instructions, so I won’t turn on the voice.”

Ayanami and the others expressed their understanding.

The four of them were playing the same racing game that z11 and Levi had played before. Levi could see that z11’s gaming skills were indeed good, and even with Levi disrupting things from behind, z11 almost took first place.

Unfortunately, he almost got it but didn’t. At Levi’s request, Z11 reluctantly turned on the voice: “Hello, hello? Um…”

Ayanami: “Z11, have you arranged your work?”

z11: “Um…yes…”

Levi’s disruption is not serious now, and z11 can still cope with it.

Vader: “Z11 are you going to work?”

z11: “No… um… why do you say that?”

Vida: “Didn’t you say that Rumei has arranged a job for you?”

z11: “Well… that’s not the time… it doesn’t matter…”

Nagashima: “Okay, okay, hurry up and get ready, next picture!”
