"Meow, don't rush, Strasse, try activating your ship rig's stomp."
Strasse was about to question whether it was a defective product when Akashi gave him instructions. He tried it out, activated part of his ship equipment, and then stood on the bracelet with one foot. Instantly, Strasse saw the ground collapse at the location of the bracelet. This immediately caused Strasse to remove his ship equipment, fearing that if he continued like this, the bracelet might also be destroyed.
"It's okay, meow, keep meowing. This bracelet can withstand even greater weight."
Seeing that Strasse wasn't going to continue, Akashi urged her to keep going. After all, many factors had been taken into account when designing this bracelet, and tonnage resistance was just one of them.
"No need. I believe in your abilities, Akashi. Of course, I don't think that's the most important thing, right?"
Strasser bent down to pick up the bracelet, not minding that he had stepped on it. He gently wiped away the dust with his white gloves, his eyes showing even more joy. He was satisfied, but still not quite.
The ability to withstand tonnage indicates that it is exceptional, which also suggests that it has a certain level of protective capability, but that is not enough.
"Yes, meow, that's not the most important thing, but this time I do need your help, meow~, or rather... Yubari, demonstrate it for meow!"
"coming"
Akashi took the bracelet, then called Yubari over and said a few words to her. Yubari understood what she needed to do and then displayed the ship's cannon, which Akashi hurriedly stopped.
"Meow! You can't stay here, meow! Go outside, go outside, or something bad will happen!!"
...
"boom!!!"
Under the bombardment of Yubari's naval guns, Strasser saw that a large crater had appeared in the ground. The crater was practically empty, but the bracelet made by Akashi was completely undamaged, and a protective shield-like thing had appeared. This shield felt familiar to Strasser.
Because of the light emanating from before me
Mang's oval shield is the power of Radiance.
"It seems you've inscribed the energy parameters of Radiance into the bracelet."
"That's right, meow! Because I was worried about encountering danger, I requested help from the Royal Guard, meow. It was with her help that this was completed, meow."
Akashi watched as the shield gradually dissipated after about a minute before taking out her ship rigging—a rigging that looked similar to Ayanami's ship-cutting sword, but it wasn't a sword; it was a fishing rod.
After using the ship's equipment to lift the bracelet, Akashi took it in her hand and looked at the bracelet, which was still intact. She chuckled. This was something that she and Yubari had put a lot of effort into making, so she had to be proud of it.
"It lasts for one minute. How many times can it be used? What are the drawbacks and things to be aware of?"
In contrast to the delighted Akashi, Strasser, after a moment's thought, raised several crucial questions. Since unexpected events were bound to occur, there was no room for misunderstanding, and it was essential to know everything.
"The downside is that you need to go to Miss Glorious's place regularly to replenish your energy, because it essentially converts the ship girl's energy into mechanically storable, equivalent analytical energy, so even when it's not in use, you need to replenish it every two months, meow."
Akashi thought for a moment and spoke, her ears twitching as she spoke, which puzzled Strasser, but he didn't delve too deeply into it. After all, he only knew that he was a ship girl, a humanoid weapon transformed from a ship, and he didn't even know where the end of the universe was, so there was no need to think about these reasons.
"May I ask how to add this?"
"This, this meow..."
Strasser's sudden question left Akashi speechless; she could only stare at him with wide eyes.
You can't say that.
Chapter 429 This is a shield bracelet. With it, you can...
"As expected, I knew it wouldn't last long..."
Hearing what Strasser handed to the commander, Hu Teng knew that his job as a guard was finally coming to an end, even though he hadn't done it for many days.
Several days have passed since the last Observer invasion. Apart from the regular days, I've been living my daily life, eating and drinking as usual, and not taking things to heart. If something really happens, I can only find some ship girls to do some relaxing entertainment.
Now, after serving the dishes to Plymouth, Hu Teng saw several officials and Strasser come to the commander. He knew that today was the day he could get his reward.
"Oh, my San San, you've come to keep your promise?"
Zheng Ri looked at Strasse with a look of surprise. You see, ever since she left temporarily, he had been thinking about what she said. Although the life of having two women on each side is quite wonderful, it is not so pleasant when there are three or four people in a room watching you from time to time, from when you wake up until you fall asleep.
"Although I don't know where you got the title from, I gladly accept it, Commander. This time, I brought you a very nice gift, which took me quite a bit of time, Commander, you know that."
Upon hearing his inexplicable nickname for him once again, Strasser had no choice but to accept it, though he didn't know why it was "San San" (三三). Could it be because of that?
Instead of thinking about it deeply, he looked at the green-headed cat and the little fox nestled in the commander's arms. At this moment, Akashi and Yubari comfortably occupied Masahiro's body on either side. Just lying on him made Akashi show a very comfortable expression, like a cat, and he really wanted to sleep.
Yubari was no exception. As a tech-savvy fox, she was exhausted after helping Akashi with this research and development. After all, she had to create a completely new piece of equipment that had never been tried before, and it wasn't even for ship girls. She needed to refer to too much data. The fatigue from several days of sleepless nights suddenly overwhelmed her, and all Yubari wanted to do was hug Masaharu and sleep soundly.
Moreover, since he was one of those who slept during the day, it would be strange if he didn't take advantage of Zheng Ri to catch up on his sleep.
Seeing the two little ones in front of him, Strasser thought for a moment and then decided against it. They hadn't slept for days, so he should let them relax now.
She took out an exquisite box from her ship equipment and opened it in front of him. Inside, a crystal-clear, light blue bracelet was revealed, which made Zheng Ri look puzzled.
"Don't rush, Commander, let me explain it to you slowly."
"Commander, this is a shield bracelet. With it, you can withstand any Siren attack."
As Strasser explained, he took the bracelet out of the box, held his hand, and carefully slipped it onto his wrist, as if afraid that the bracelet might scratch his bone, since it wasn't very big.
"Shield bracelet?...I think it's a super-powered bracelet. With this, can I defeat the Sirens?"
As Zheng Ri looked at the bracelet on his left wrist, he immediately thought of that famous scene. With it, he could defeat any sun monster, so wouldn't the mere Sirens be easy to capture?
"...No, this bracelet doesn't amplify your body, Commander. It only gives you a shield similar to Illustrious's, lasting for one minute. But even if it doesn't last a minute, I believe we can achieve it in ten seconds."
"It will come to your side within an hour."
Strasel was puzzled by his sudden excitement, but he still explained to him how to use the device, although it was mostly triggered passively.
"I see... Thank you, San San."
After examining the gemstone bracelet for a while, Zheng Ri earnestly expressed his gratitude. Although he couldn't defeat any Sirens, it was still very useful for protecting himself in this somewhat magical world.
"No need, Commander. Please thank Akashi and Yubari instead. I was just a messenger. Of course, thanks also to everyone for their coordination."
Strasser did not claim credit for Akashi and the others' work, as it would be pointless. Moreover, he took two steps back and looked at Bismarck and the others, who were the ones responsible for adopting this suggestion.
"No, although Akashi and the others were the main contributors, we were just taking their suggestions into account. We just didn't expect it could be done like this, putting the ship girls' energy into a bracelet."
Bismarck shook her head slightly, a hint of surprise in her eyes. It wasn't that such equipment was impossible; she hadn't tried it before. However, most of the time, the ship girls' own energy was used for ship equipment, which was scientific in itself, but this situation was too similar.
"It's like..."
"A Mind Cube! This has a Mind Cube added, meow! Commander, Akashi extracted the energy from the Mind Cube and used it. Now, after analyzing it, it's become something you can use, meow~"
Just as Bismarck was about to speak, Akashi had already said it for her: it was made using the energy of the Mind Cube. After all, science, science, and science to the extreme is theology, so with just a little bit of my thinking, it can be made.
"Wow, that's amazing! The Rubik's Cube can be used like this? It's incredible!"
Listening to Akashi's meows, Masaharu felt increasingly amazed. Looking at the face of Bismarck that he could see through like transparent glass, Masaharu found it incredible.
The fact that the Wisdom Cube can create ship girls is already incredible.
"Oh right, so does that mean I don't need a protector...?"
After feeling incredulous, Masaharu thought of that very important question: Did he no longer need escort ship girls? However, he stopped abruptly as soon as he said it and looked at Plymouth and the others.
"As for that, that's up to you, Commander. But before that, Commander..."
Strasser ignored his question at that moment, instead taking a step back, bending down like a lady inviting her beloved, and inviting him to do something that everyone enjoys together.
"Commander, how about we spend some time together? Rather than wasting time on trivial things, I think it will be more meaningful if you accept my invitation. What do you say?"
“I will not refuse you, Strasser”
Chapter 430 The Value of Time
How are you feeling now?
"Feels great, Strasser"
After accepting her invitation, Zheng Ri followed her and drove all the way to the Ironblood's big house. However, it wasn't very big; the nearly 200-square-meter space was more than enough for her to live in alone.
But what Zheng Ri enjoys is not the spaciousness, but the feeling of not being watched by anyone. After all, no one wants to go anywhere with someone watching you, even if it's for your protection.
Furthermore, Zheng Ri didn't necessarily see the Sirens as enemies. Although she had skipped some parts of the story, she still knew a bit about the timeline from chatting in the group every day. It's just that everything they did seemed to be preparing for the final boss, constantly repeating the same things and waiting for a miracle to happen.
Of course, the most intriguing thing is seeing the observer wearing the Oath Ring. Is it deception? Or something else? We don't know. We can only say that he once considered defecting to the enemy, but now he doesn't.
Even if all the sirens were white-haired, it wouldn't matter. Although they smelled good, I'd rather not. I already have many of my own sworn marriage ships. If I were to get them wet so easily, they might come chasing after me.
Enjoying this rare personal space, Masaharu comfortably closed his eyes and began to ponder the events of the past. Because there were too many ship girls around him, he was not too willing to think about these things. Now that the beautiful women around him had temporarily left, he was able to think about many things, which made Masaharu unable to stop thinking.
When people are in a quiet and comfortable place, they tend to think about things from the past and start to clear their minds, but Strasser wouldn't let him do that.
"What's wrong, Commander? Are you so bored that you want to sleep as soon as you get here?"
Just as he was gradually falling into deep thought, a voice in his ear made him open his eyes, only to find himself in complete darkness.
"Don't rush, Commander. This is a gift from me to you. You can't open your eyes yet, so keep them closed for now..."
Although she didn't know what Strasse was going to prepare for her, Zheng Ri closed her eyes and nodded, waiting for the gift she had prepared. However, when she heard the sound of clothes gradually brushing against her delicate skin, she roughly understood what the so-called gift was.
The thought of Strasser changing into all sorts of beautiful clothes, coupled with the sounds in his ears...
Hearing the sound felt like a cat scratching at my heart, making me a little itchy, so I thought I'd gently open my eyes and take a peek.
"Commander, that won't do~. We need to wait patiently until we get a definite answer; it's a meaningful thing to do."
As if knowing what he was thinking, Strasser stopped changing his clothes and slowly walked up to him, bent down, and whispered in his ear. His fragrant breath made Zheng Ri feel a little aroused, but he still nodded.
"No, I definitely won't watch it until you're ready."
"That's right, let's waste a little time, our time..."
Several minutes passed, but Zheng Ri still didn't open his eyes. He just kept listening to her voice until she finally said it was okay, and then he opened his eyes.
"So, Commander, what do you think of this outfit?"
After seeing Zheng Ri open his eyes, Strasse spoke slowly, his hands, clad in long white lace gloves, unsure of where to put them. After all, such occasions were rare, and he wanted to leave as many impressions as possible.
When Zheng Ri saw that her black dress had been changed to a white one, her first thought was of a white wedding dress, but it was different from a wedding dress because it didn't have a veil. After thinking it over, she decided that the only option was a formal dress.
"Beautiful, very beautiful, Strasser. I'm used to seeing you in long black dresses, but seeing you in a gown that looks like a wedding dress is truly stunning."
After observing her closely, Zheng Ri began to sigh. He had originally thought that her white dress would be very long, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a dress with a semi-transparent hem.
Her small feet, clad in white stockings, wore pure white high heels and a white dress; aside from her hair color, she was dressed entirely in white.
But this white color doesn't feel out of place, because while covering the skin, it also exposes quite a bit, especially seeing the rounded and smooth beautiful shoulders and chest covered by delicate white gauze, leaving only the alluring northern hemisphere, making one want to reach out and try to feel its softness.
"This isn't a wedding dress, Commander, but if you'd like to see it, I can put it on, but... I think you understand."
"We don't have much time left, darling."
"I know, but what I mean is, what you're wearing right now is as beautiful as a wedding dress, it's very special."
Zheng Ri was captivated by her charming smile. Every glance and smile was incredibly beautiful. Imagine, when someone who values time so much treats you as someone they can waste their time on, it says a lot.
Now, Strasser is willing to spend time on himself, which, while not exactly a waste, is still something to be concerned about.
"Commander, this is the first time I've found your words to be so sweet. Is this how you attract other women's attention? If so, that's really not a good idea."
Strasser's smiling face revealed a faint pink blush. Even though what he said was simple, it was enough. There are many ways to express love, but the simplest is the easiest to penetrate the heart.
"What's wrong with it? If you think it's bad, maybe I didn't explain it well enough, after all, I'm not very good at speaking."
He stood up and took a few steps forward, then hugged the ship girl, who was taller than him, into his arms, inhaling her fragrance, a floral scent that was captivating and alluring.
"No, I mean, this is fine. If I said anything too sweet, it would attract the attention of other women, and I don't like that. This is perfect, I like it so much that I want to spend my precious time on you."
Looking back now, the time spent was worthwhile because the time spent with you was precious, even more precious than the time I cherish most.
Strasser lowered his head slightly, spoke into his ear, and then closed his eyes. This was no longer a matter of wasting time; dwelling on this would only ruin the romance.
"In that case, we can't waste any more time..."
Zheng Ri tilted his head and began kissing her neck, slowly moving upwards until he touched her soft, fragrant lips, which were incredibly alluring.
Chapter 431 Methods to Resolve Hatred
"What's wrong, Commander? Aren't you asleep yet? Or are you already awake?"
After trying symphonies again and again, Strasser, her face flushed, looked at Masahiro, whom she had completely messed up. The swelling in her abdomen and the excess fluid finally made her stop moving her waist. A thin layer of sweat covered her fair skin, and her slightly panting breath gave her the feeling of a cold and beautiful woman being conquered. In particular, her crimson eyes had unconsciously begun to radiate an alluring gaze.
"I can't sleep, Strasser, Peter."
He placed his hands on her slender, alluring waist, which he could barely grasp with one hand, feeling the smooth, soft touch in his hands. Only Strasser's waist was the weapon that had killed him countless times.
"Why can't you sleep? You should be asleep. Of course, I mean, if you don't go to sleep now, it might be evening."
After being slowly pulled out, Strasser's lower body went limp; even kneeling, his legs trembled, and his face, however beautiful, seemed to tremble.
Yan's expression was glamorous, but her body's reaction never lied. Her body was already warning her that if she continued doing this, she might become addicted and develop swelling.
"Then let's do it tonight, Strasser, no, Peter, my San San, or if you don't feel like it, let's just go to sleep."
Similarly, after feeling his body being squeezed so hard that it became numb and unresponsive, Zheng Ri pulled the charming girl into his arms and let her lie on top of him. Even though the room was filled with their scent, it still felt wonderful.
