My ship girl setup is off...

Page 124

"Don't look at me like that, Mercury. Although I also like vodka, especially such an old and precious one, this is a gift from Tashkent to Comrade Commander. No matter what, we can't take it."

As an old buddy, Gangut naturally knew that such vodka had a strong appeal to Mercury Commemoration, but no matter what, as a gift, it couldn't be taken away, even if the Commander didn't drink it.

"Okay, Tashkent, where did you get this vodka?"

"Hmm, Tashkent didn't tell Mercury-chan."

Watching Mercury Memorial and Tashkent playfully bicker, Kiev Cat didn't say anything. Instead, she looked down at her own hands. Hmm, compared to the gift Tashkent prepared, she hadn't brought anything. Sure enough, she still needed some kind of gift.

The Kyiv cat is thinking.

"Rossia, I still feel something's not right. Is it possible, I mean, is it possible that the Commander has actually arrived, but Aurora and Chapaev are cheating on him?"

Watching Tashkent and their fighting

After watching for a while, Bella Rose stopped paying attention and started thinking that something was wrong. They hadn't arrived yet, so something must have happened. Besides, it was safe in the port area. After thinking about it, it seemed that the possibility was indeed quite high.

“Bellaros, we may not trust the Commander’s resolve, but we must trust Aurora and Chapaev’s determination. After all, this is highly unlikely to happen.”

"How about this, let's wait a little longer. If they haven't arrived in ten minutes, I'll contact them. In any case, we need to give them some time, don't we?"

Rossia gently patted Bellaros on the shoulder, speaking firmly but not definitively. After all, Chapaev's personality was a bit eccentric, but he was still his comrade and needed to be trusted.

"Alright, since you've put it that way..."

Bellaros nodded. Since Rossia, as the decision-maker, had said so, he naturally believed it, even if it would only take a little while.

Fortunately, Aurora and Chapaev returned a few minutes later, bringing the commander with them. They were greeted with cheers as soon as they entered, and some of the more adorable destroyers ran up to the commander for a hug.

That is Tashkent.

"Comrade! It's been a long time, hmm, this is a gift Tashkent prepared for you, please accept it."

"But there seems to be something off about Comrade-chan's expression?"

Upon seeing Zheng Ri, Tashkent ran up and hugged him, rubbing his face against his stomach. Then he took out a well-protected bottle of vodka from his pocket and handed it to him, but noticed a strange smell on him when he did so.

"Well, we passed through a place on our way here, and the smell might have been a bit unpleasant, but thank you for the gift from Tashkent anyway. Is this a bottle of wine?"

After Tashkent finished speaking, Zheng Ri quickly came up with a reply for her, and then accepted the gift that Tashkent had prepared for him. Upon closer inspection, he saw that it was a bottle of wine with Russian writing on it, and a purple ribbon tied around the neck of the bottle, matching the color of Tashkent's hair.

"Okay, Tashkent understands. Comrade-chan is going to take a shower and wash away the smell."

Tashkent smelled a familiar scent on him and naturally didn't doubt what he said. Instead, he told him to take a good bath to get rid of the smell, and Zheng Ri patted Tashkent's head to show that he understood.

"See, Bellaros, we shouldn't have doubted our comrades. That was a mistake, but it doesn't matter now. The Commander is here, so let's just celebrate properly."

Seeing the arrival of the day, Rossia said happily. Bellaros nodded without saying anything, but his eyes were on Aurora and Chapaev. He noticed that something was wrong with them when they came in. Their faces were red and their skin had become rosy. In addition, Tashkent said something.

Bellarose decided to talk about it later; for now, it's time to chug it down.

Chapter 333 Cheers!

"Commander! While borscht is a good way to warm up, a real man should drink vodka with style! Cheers!!"

"This is too strong, I'll just have a little bit. Cheers!"

Watching Gangut slam bottles of vodka in front of him, Zheng Ri looked at them and, after being persuaded by the Northern Alliance ship girls around him, finally chose to use a glass instead, hoping to create a more festive atmosphere.

Most importantly, after drinking a bottle, Zheng Ri doesn't know if he will pass out and collapse.

"Oh! That's good! Not bad at all, but Commander, I personally think we should just pick up the bottle and chug it straight down. That would give us enough momentum and guts!"

Gangut patted Zheng Ri's shoulder slightly, holding a half-empty bottle of vodka in his right hand. Seeing the bottle in Zheng Ri's hand, he felt it wasn't enough.

"Alright, Gangut, vodka is still too strong for the Commander. Commander, you don't need to drink so much. Just have a share."

Unlike Gangut, who couldn't wait to chug the bottle with him, Rossia saw the embarrassment on Zheng Ri's face and quickly stepped in to stop him. Drinking capacity is something you develop, not something you force.

"I understand, I understand. I, Gangut, would never do such a thing. I'm sorry, Commander, as punishment, I'll drink a glass first!"

Rossia's intervention made Gangut realize that he had been a bit too hasty. He gave him an apologetic look, then raised his half-finished bottle of vodka, tilted his head back, and drank it down in a hearty gulp, expressing his apology in a bold manner.

"I think you'd prefer to drink it yourself, but... here you go!"

Gangut's hearty drinking also energized Zheng Ri. He put down his glass, picked up the vodka that had already been opened on the table, clinked it with Gangut's, and then raised his head to gulp it down.

"Oh? Oh!!! Well done, Commander!! This is the commander of Gangut! The one I will always follow! Cheers!!"

Zheng Ri's act of chugging an entire bottle of vodka won Gangut's favor, and similarly inspired the North.

The emotions of the allied ship girls, who used to need to care about his situation, no longer do.

They all dropped the pretense and started clinking bottles of vodka against him, even Tashkent stood on tiptoe to try and clink bottles with him.

"...Seriously, this makes me seem superfluous. But, to welcome the Commander, let's go!"

Seeing the atmosphere created by Zheng Ri, Rossia smiled slightly, then took two bottles of vodka in each hand, clinked them together, and chugged them down, successfully demonstrating what it meant to be the tough guy from the Northern Alliance.

"Of course, it's also to welcome our new comrades! Kursk, Voroshilov, and Sevastopol, although you've been in contact with our comrades quite a bit, you probably haven't spoken to the Commander much yet, have you?"

"Come on, take this opportunity to say hello properly."

After finishing two bottles of vodka, Rossia looked at Kursk and the others, beckoning them to come over. Unlike them, they had been in the port for quite some time, so it was natural for her to understand the greatness of their commander.

"Kursk, Commander, let's do it!"

Kolsk approached Zheng Ri, said nothing more, and instead raised a bottle of vodka in front of him.

Seeing her gestures and facial expressions, Zheng Ri smiled. After glancing at the ship girl in front of him, who resembled a snow wolf, he also raised his glass, gently clinked it together, making a crisp sound, and then they tacitly raised their heads and drank vodka together.

For the Northern Alliance ship girls, there are many things that can be expressed with vodka, and since their commander is someone who can vodka, Kursk has already acknowledged his superior status and will listen to whatever he says.

After finishing a third of it, Kursk walked to the other side and handed it to the next person, Sevastopol. Compared to Kursk, Sevastopol was more like a noble lady, with a pair of deeper eyes staring straight at Zheng Ri, but like the snow wolf just now, she raised the hand holding the vodka.

"This is our second meeting, Commander. I've learned some things about you, but I'm not as soft as you seem, and neither are you."

"Of course not, let's do it!"

It goes without saying that after drinking, only a third of the wine remained, leaving one person, Voroshilov. However, the ship girl in front of her looked a bit aloof, but her face was slightly flushed.

"Commander, I heard from Rossia and the others that you led them to countless victories against the Sirens. I want to learn from you, and I've been reading books lately, right here... Ah!"

Upon arriving in front of Zheng Ri, Voroshilov's face lit up with excitement, and he looked at him with expectant and hopeful eyes. He then took out a book and handed it to him, wanting him to give him some pointers.

When Zheng Rixin gave Rossia a thumbs up, he noticed that the book she was holding had a woman's cover with the words "Use distance to attract the people you care about," and he felt something was wrong. Voroshilov also noticed that the air had become quiet, and then realized that his book was not the one he was looking for, so he quickly put it away.

"Haha, it seems our new Comrade Voroshilov is quite fond of Comrade Commander. He's captured Voroshilov's heart so quickly. Cheers!"

Looking at the two of them, Rossia smiled. He was happy to have gained a companion, but he didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

"cheers!!"

...

"I thought the commander would only drink a little bit of alcohol."

After everyone finished chugging their bottles, Zheng Ri, Aurora, and Gangut sat haphazardly on the sofa, each holding a bottle of vodka and occasionally taking a sip of Tashkent.

Although he didn't say anything, Kyiv was always around.

"A little wine? Wrong. Let me tell you, Aurora, I can really drink... It's not just that I don't usually like to drink, otherwise you'd see I have a beer belly, that's proof of my ability."

"It's a pity I don't have it, that's a bit of a shame."

He patted his stomach, shook his head slightly, and said something that made Aurora chuckle.

353rd Big Daring!

"Isn't it good not to have a beer belly, Commander? Having a beer belly is a sign of poor health and needs to be reduced."

Seeing him patting his belly, Aurora stopped him, grabbed his hand, glanced to the left and right, and quietly intertwined her fingers with his.

As a ship girl who had been with him for a long time, her feelings were naturally beyond question. A slight smile appeared on her delicate and elegant face, and her ice-blue eyes quietly looked at him, her gaze holding a love that had been hidden in her heart for a long time.

"Aurora, what are you saying? Do you mean you'll dislike me if I get fat?"

Holding her hand tightly, Zheng Ri naturally couldn't pat his stomach, especially since he had a little girl named Tashkent wanting to fall asleep in his arms, and he was also holding a half-finished bottle of vodka. It has to be said, Tashkent was indeed...

So cute, her chubby little face is absolutely adorable.

However, on a whim, he asked her a question out of curiosity.

"Hmm... I only know that being overweight is bad for your health, but if you say it like that, Commander... you might actually be disgusted?"

When asked this by Zheng Ri, Aurora paused for a second, then began to think seriously. However, after thinking for less than two seconds, the serious expression on her face disappeared, replaced by the smile she had just given him, and she gave him a less than convincing answer.

"Really? But I heard that ship girls don't dislike commanders."

"Hehe, it's fake. Although some people in my hometown are obese, it's all within acceptable limits, however..."

"Commander, being overweight is bad for your health. Don't get fat, or I'll make you go for a run. Or I'll have Piroshki exercise with you."

Aurora smiled happily, then spoke to him earnestly about his obesity, saying she wouldn't despise him, but she wouldn't allow him to become like that.

"Piroshki? Who's that?"

Hearing Aurora call out the name, Masaharu was a little puzzled. Did any of his Northern Alliance ship girls have such a name? Why hadn't he heard of it before?

"That's my pet bear, Commander. If you get fat, I'll have you do chases and hand-to-hand combat with Piroshki. You'll lose weight easily that way."

"By the way, Piroshki isn't very big either, about the same size as me."

Seeing the confidence on Zheng Ri's face, Aurora added a sentence, which immediately made Zheng Ri lose his confident smile and shake his head.

"No, no, it's definitely better not to get fat. I don't want to slide into a bear's belly and be digested."

Thinking about the possibility of fighting, being chased, being slapped on the head by a bear, or sliding into its belly to be digested, I decided against it. I'm just physically strong; why would I fight a bear? I'd rather live a little longer.

"It's alright, I'll help the commander pull it out of the bear's belly later."

"Then I might already be gone."

Zheng Ri's lingering fear made Aurora laugh. Was it really that scary? It was just a harmless little bear, maybe a little tall, but actually quite cute.

After that, Aurora and Zheng Ri stopped talking and remained silent. Aurora looked around and saw that Rossia had drunk more than others, chugging two bottles at once, and was now asleep, almost unconscious. She didn't even know that Bella Rose was on top of her, and Bella Rose was drooling.

After the rest of the Vodka and Tallinn finished drinking, they went outside to sober up, saying they had drunk too much and needed some fresh air, since they had drunk so much vodka that even the air smelled of alcohol.

As for Kursk and the others, no one knows where they went. Anyway, nearly a third of the people were not left in the hall, and many of their companions were asleep.

After looking around, Aurora finally turned her gaze to Zheng Ri. At this moment, he also put down the vodka he had almost finished drinking. He was originally a heavy drinker, but now the aftereffects were kicking in, and he was feeling a little dizzy and drowsy.

He held hands with Aurora, his right hand resting on Kiev, who was hugging him. Although Kiev was taciturn and didn't talk much, he was still very endearing, like a seemingly aloof but actually affectionate cat.

Even now, gently touching her cat-ear-like hairstyle, though she's asleep and doesn't know anything, still makes a cat-like reaction, rubbing against her.

As for Tashkent, it's lovely.

I want to have sex.

"Commander, did you know? Apart from us, all our other comrades here are either asleep or have gone out."

After looking around and finding no problems, Aurora moved closer to him, pressing her body even more tightly together than before. If Tashkent hadn't been there, Aurora would have already considered sitting on him.

"Huh? Oh, right, what's wrong?"

Zheng Ri nodded. The vodka was kicking in, making him a little dizzy and slightly drunk, but not completely so. He could still hear what Aurora was saying.

"I believe now is a good time, Commander."

"What's a good time?"

"Commander...do you remember what I said to you when the main force arrived at the port?"

Aurora whispered in Jung-il's ear, her fragrant breath tickling his ear.

"what?"

"Commander, don't you remember what happened back then? I still remember. I said that if I drank vodka, Commander, you could do whatever you wanted to me."

Aurora's tone became somewhat coquettish, and her delicate, beautiful face flushed even more than after drinking vodka, giving her a charm she had never possessed before.

"Oh... I don't remember, sorry, my head is a little fuzzy, but I drank it anyway."

Zheng Ri thought about it and felt his brain was working very slowly. He couldn't think of anything, but he could think of everything, but he still couldn't think of Aurora's words.

"Commander, it's okay if you don't remember, but you don't want to..."

"Would you like to do something?"

Aurora placed the hand that was intertwined with hers on her thigh, gently touching the sheer black stockings. Looking at the glossy thigh, Zheng Ri began to caress it.

"Heh, Commander, you're quite bold, but that won't do."

"I mean, be bolder..."
