"Tsk. The little girl herself hasn't said anything yet. If you are willing to cooperate with my experiment, I can give you a lot of benefits-"
"You should let her experience the kindness of this world first, Black Tower..."
"It's the same as always. When you're done, tap the puppet's forehead. I'll rush to put more stuff into the simulated universe for you tonight to save you from being bored."
“Stop making your code a mountain of shit.”
"It's okay. I forced ScrewGum to work overtime."
After leaving an inhuman remark, the guy withdrew his consciousness, and the puppet mechanically walked back to its original position and continued to wait.
"Commander, it's still not easy here..." Although Noshiro didn't know the person she was talking to, she roughly knew what the so-called "double" of Heita meant.
"I can't say that I met the wrong person, I can only say that it was my own fault." Kong sighed.
"Is Maid Befa still in charge of arranging the turns here?"
"Except for Heita and Estelle who were not included in the round-up, everyone has reluctantly accepted the 'daily limit', but who can say what will happen in the future?"
Sora then turned to Ying, who hadn't paid any attention to the black tower's comings and goings, and said, "Let's not have a 'battle' tonight. Is that okay?"
"Well, I'm going back to the Pure Land to meditate. See you tomorrow morning." After saying that, she nodded to Paimon, whose small head was only sticking out of the ceiling, and after the latter shrank back, she turned into a flash of lightning and disappeared in the carriage.
"Just now, that was——"
"She entered an enclosed space similar to the Mirror Sea to rest. Don't worry."
It was rare for the otaku girl to be so relaxed and stop snatching food. Sora was pardoned. After she and Heita both "went offline", he immediately came in front of Noshiro.
Then his hand naturally rested just above her leg ring.
“……///”
Noshiro's face turned red again. She couldn't remember how many times she couldn't control herself today. The desire that had been accumulated for many years could finally be fully revealed after there were no "spectators" watching around.
Looking back, the commander also put his hands on his bridge and torpedo belt with a serious look on his face. If you don't know how many wedding ships he has, it's easy to be deceived by that serious and handsome expression.
But no matter how many times, the heat transmitted from the other's palm can always soak into Noshiro's heart. She thinks this is probably a matter of one willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten. Whether it is the ship girl or the commander who takes the initiative, this tacit understanding applies.
"Well, do you want me to give you a massage like this?"
As she spoke, she did not slap Kong's hand away. Instead, she took the initiative to cover his knuckles with her slender hand and guided, or rather manipulated Kong's fingertips to pinch the buttons on her leg rings.
The metal leg ring is essentially a weapon, but under Noshiro's guidance, it seems like a toy that the old couple uses to regain their interest.
"Click."
The ship girl's equipment, which should have weighed hundreds of tons and made a hole in the sofa after being untied, was cleverly grasped by Noshiro at one end and stored in the ship's equipment space. The skin that bounced open formed a circle of elasticity in the center of Sora's palm that moved people's hearts.
At the same time, the diamond ring on her hand pressed against Kong's palm with a little hardness, as if she was deliberately emphasizing her status and never forgetting her obligations as a wedding partner. She used a little extra force on Kong's behalf, and Kong had the illusion that he was wearing the ring again.
"...I know you've always wanted to go back to the harbor...This might be an opportunity, a chance for all of us to return to that dreamlike time—"
As slow as she was, she did not hesitate after clarifying her target: "Do you like it? This is the material that everyone picked for me. I also prepared a kimono, a swimsuit, and a maid outfit that you like. Although I don't know much about the operation of a maid cafe, but if I only serve you, I can ask the head maid Belfa to train under her."
Ever since Noshiro learned that different fibers could give Sora different feelings, she has been very attentive to the choice of her pantyhose. After a long separation, for the sake of convenience, comfort and breathability, after careful discussion, Noshiro finally decided to use thin velvet to reduce friction. Not only does it look more shiny, but when she was "directing" Sora to explore, she could also feel the heat sliding evenly and smoothly. Slowly, the slight uneasiness turned into increasingly rapid breathing.
"This is amazing... It turned out that it was right to listen to Ajax's advice..."
"You actually asked her for advice?"
"And Concord, if the companion who came was Musashi or Frederick... maybe there would be no need to care so much about clothes... I know that my foundation is not good enough, and people always say that I have this or that body defect..."
"Every girl in Hong Kong has a memory point that I will remember for a lifetime, and your legs are the most shining memory among them." The finger began to exert force.
“…bad intentions.”
Although she was muttering to herself, Noshiro's mood suddenly seemed to be lifted. Such words of body identity gaining, even if they were just for consolation, were never tiring to hear and could fully satisfy a girl's "vanity".
"Are you sure no one will suddenly appear nearby? Senior Ying won't peek, right?"
The elated Noshiro plans to give Sora more and more benefits, but before that she has to do a good job of investigation in order to avoid being seen by others while she is using all her skills.
"Don't worry, everyone will tacitly choose not to go out tonight."
"Okay, then, the massage I prepared..."
She stood up slightly, took Kong away from the sofa, and turned around to press his body gently against the back of the sofa. She probed the middle of his groin to make sure she didn't leave too much of a gap, took a deep breath and put Kong's
"Before you kick the thunder, let me warm-start it first...otherwise it might hurt you, ah, or you can use the oils specially provided by Akashi? Commander, do you prefer item assistance or the original method? Hmm, I haven't really thought about this question in detail."
Her cherry lips were almost the same color as the ghost's horns, and countless stars rolled in her eyes, which were more fascinating than the starry sky outside.
Following the sailor uniform down, the deep black seams could be seen reflecting very clearly when she spread her fingers apart.
"This is called Su, Su something... I can't remember the name, but it's said to be very powerful. My stern, watertight compartments... and the commander will all become a mess... Compared to the dry kicking thunder, I think this will be easier for the commander to accept and reduce the probability of accidental injury."
She was still trying to convince Kong with precise and professional explanations, and all she needed to do was introduce data to explain it.
But Sora's reaction was more direct.
Amid Noshiro's small exclamation, he chose to immediately test the law himself and inspect the damp area under the watertight compartment.
249. Harem Balance
In order to give Noshiro the most wonderful and memorable night after their reunion, Sora chose to briefly undergo Primaris transformation.
The commander who suddenly turned into a giant made her exclaim in surprise, and she had the illusion that she was hit head-on by a battleship.
After being hit by a large-tonnage "enemy ship", she quickly adjusted her somewhat frightened emotions - although the commander was also powerful before, he was taking the path of strengthening his mental strength at that time, but he could not make his body stronger than the ship girl.
However, when a light cruiser faces an enemy with much greater tonnage and firepower than itself, it must make use of its advantages of high speed and short turning radius. Before the watertight compartment was penetrated, Noshiro had already begun trying to dodge instead of engaging head-on, successfully consuming some of Sora's physical strength.
In addition to testing her new skills, she also tried to make Kong lie flat on the ground, and used her superb thunder kicking technique to constantly poke him, causing Kong to lose his composure.
The physical strength provided by the star core is almost endless, but fatigue is a self-protection mechanism in the process of human evolution. Even if the body can still bear it, the brain is telling Kong that if he continues like this, he will be defeated by Noshiro first and his fighting power will become scattered. So he only lost one round to Noshiro and immediately began to plan the next round of close boarding battle.
Noshiro couldn't suppress Sora - after the Primaris transformation, his strength might still not be as good as that of the Ship Girl, but his flexibility was already superior. After escaping from under Noshiro's legs, he grabbed the delicious chocolate, which was slightly soaked with sweat and turned translucent, and pulled it down, dragging Noshiro from the main attack position to a posture where she had to face the enemy at the stern of the ship.
Then he buried his whole head in it——
"Then, that's——"
Noshiro had already tried to reduce the pitch of her whistle as much as possible, but as Sora served her without any burden of saving the commander's face, she understood why many veteran officers in the port area would be so happy for a long time just by asking the commander for a kiss - unfortunately, she had never expected this before.
At this point, no matter how Kong Huai talked or patted his head gently, it was useless. Until the water element was full and Noh Dai's well-proportioned abdominal muscles were slightly tense, everything calmed down... To be more precise, it was because his brain was empty and unable to think.
Perhaps seeing that Noshiro's strength was also weakened, the two sides were back on an equal footing, and Sora carried her to the armrest of the sofa - raising her up while forcing Noshiro to show her beauty to Sora in a posture that was even more unacceptable than usual, especially the outline of the watertight compartment, which was already very obvious through the seams.
"Commander... I'm sorry, it's been a long time since I've been manipulated by you... I'm a little uncomfortable. Are you not enjoying it?"
She put her feet together, covered her face with her hands, and sat cross-legged on the armrest. Although she knew that doing so might put her in a more dangerous situation, she was subconsciously filled with a self-destructive expectation to witness Kong's "level of madness".
"No, Noshiro, you have always been this shy in my memory. Seeing that you have hardly changed, I am relieved."
White stars seeped through the devastated black that was like the curtain of the universe. Coupled with the opponent's active opening of the lightning protection belts on both sides, Kong's last bit of sanity also dissipated.
"Well, I said I wanted to take the lead, but when it came to the actual combat, the tactics I discussed with my sisters all became free-fire without any rules. I really haven't improved at all."
"Don't say that. You are too cute right now. I am the one who is too impatient."
As the watertight compartment became pressurized, Noshiro's soul seemed to chirp joyfully in a place higher than the current dimension.
……
As the saying goes, a long separation is better than a new marriage. The various clumsy reactions produced by the two people's equally anxiousness became the fuel for them to continue their mood. Although they were already skilled guys, there was a feeling that they had returned to the ignorance of their youth. It was not until Belfa calculated that it was almost time to go out to help clean up that Sora and Noshiro slowly released themselves from the bridging state.
Noshiro was trying to suppress Sora in the end, exposing her side. When she heard the door open, she was so scared that she lost her grip on Sora's arm and fell to the ground.
After helping to clean up, Befa couldn't help but sigh. Although the maid team's service was very gentle and could make the commander linger, passive ship girls might not necessarily be unable to produce results... Look at the results achieved by Noshiro, she is almost catching up with the level of the three of them last week.
Of course, the commander's improving physique is also a factor.
She chewed all the hair into her mouth, and Noshiro, who had her own blush without the need for makeup, went to see the new "dormitory" -
Her room is right next to Ying's, but Ying doesn't seem to plan to enjoy the tatami, but continues to practice in Isshin Pure Land. After Noshiro moves in, if the public bathroom that Heita helped prepare is not converted into a single room, as Jiko said, it will only be enough for one person to move in.
This person is almost certainly a visitor from Chaldea - Kong has already planned to clear the last 2% of the rift tomorrow morning and gather the energy he needs.
"The Commander won't sleep in the living room tonight, right?"
"Ah, I'll come to your room to rest after I finish my work at the Black Tower in the middle of the night."
"You're really hardworking... It seems like your situation of being tortured by the opposite sex hasn't improved over here." Noshiro couldn't help but feel sympathy for Sora... even though she herself had once been one of those "perpetrators".
"Can you call this 'lifting your skirt to speak is tough'?"
Sora shook his head in amusement, "Go to bed early. I'll take you to Beloberg tomorrow morning for some exercise. We'll also be participating in a simulated universe experiment tonight. I'm afraid we'll have to stay up late."
"Will the Commander be staying in the space station for a long time?"
"Well, go there before your shift this afternoon and discuss with ScrewGum and the others how to intervene in Beloberg through experiments."
"Then please take me with you. I need to buy food for the train."
"...Oh, in that case, Ying, Befa, and Noshiro, plus me, will be enough for a round of four-person simulation test. I just don't know if this project can withstand the information flow of the Mind Cube after the Black Tower is expanded..."
"And Miss Ying's divine power... I think she deserves more attention from Lady Black Tower."
Befa had seen the scene where Ying pinned Kong to the ground and "hammered" him, and he still remembered clearly the unreasonableness of the gods.
"It's hard to say... But this is also a little selfish of mine. I want to try to see through the simulation how big the gap is between the gods who rule Teyvat and the star gods."
Black Tower is a genius who writes like a madman, and so is the Commander, except that his motives are more pragmatic than most geniuses.
"Click——"
Thoughtfully, Befa opened the curtains of the room for Noshiro. On the left side of the exquisite tatami bed, outside the large floor-to-ceiling window was the illusory forest view of Akita, which was her "hometown" in a sense.
This area is rich in timber and has a well-developed winemaking industry. Noshiro could faintly smell the intoxicating aroma of wine wafting in from the window - even if it was just a little prank of light and aroma.
"Hai Ya designed it for you. Isn't it thoughtful? You have been staying in the port area and have little time to go back to your country. This piece of landscape can be regarded as compensation for your time wandering abroad." Kong pinched her shoulder.
"...Commander, does Miss Haiya have any accessories she likes?"
Noshiro was moved again.
She couldn't understand why she was treated so courteously when she first arrived in another world. Every passenger here, every girl who might be a competitor to her, took such good care of her.
"Please give me a chance to repay her." She simply wanted to return the "kindness" from the outside world with the same kindness.
……
Haiya has no habit of wearing a sword or wearing any accessories casually. As a warlock, all the seemingly complicated decorations on her body are not simply for the sake of beauty, but are deliberately arranged in order to resonate with the source stone energy, and there are many considerations.
However, after listening to her explanation, Noshiro actually threatened to research accessories for her that could specifically amplify Originium energy. In her opinion, this swordsmith girl was no longer just "innocent to the point of being cute", she was already a little ignorant of the immensity of the world.
