My ship girl setup is off...

“Then we should do it even more. Not leave him with the Royal Navy and Sakura Empire, but with us. So…”

As he spoke, Marco Polo's expression turned serious, and then, under Veneto's gaze, he slowly took out a maid outfit from his ship's equipment.

"?"

When Veneto saw the clothes Marco Polo had taken out, he was stunned, then his expression turned wise, and he didn't understand her intention for a moment.

Marco Polo said with a serious expression, "Even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman. Although the commander isn't a great hero, he's no exception."

However, after thinking about what Marco Polo had said, Veneto chose to speak it aloud.

"Actually, it already happened in the bathhouse when the commander arrived, Littorio and I..."

"...traitor!"

Chapter 317 No Regrets!

"By the way, do you even have sightseeing boats here?"

"Yes, there is, but to be precise, it's prepared for you, Commander. If you'd like to try it, that's fine too."

"I'll try it tomorrow. Right now, I need to keep my Skyhawk company for some tea."

"Thank you for your company, Commander. Hehe~, it would be nice if you could come by occasionally, from time to time."

After lunch, Zheng Ri, along with Skyhawk, Trento, and Empire, sat by a pond in a garden, or more accurately, in the back garden.

Look at the aquatic plants and duckweed swimming slowly in the large pond.

Various kinds of fish, Zheng Ri picked up the teacup with delicate patterns in front of him and slowly savored the tea brewed by the eagle.

It's very delicious and very tasty. I just don't know why I feel that Iris, Royal, and Sardinian teas all have a strong preference for black tea. After all, black tea carries a certain heavy connotation in their respective countries.

"That's a good idea. I'll consider it if possible. After I go to Beilian, I plan to stay in the port area center. That way, it'll be easier for you to come and find me, and it'll be easier for me to come and find you."

Zheng Ri glanced at Tianying, who was sitting next to him with a smile on his face, and nodded in agreement. He had been busy running around in and out of the camp for a long time. This couldn't go on. It wasn't good to not have a fixed place to live.

I don't even have time to play games; I'm always doing too much sex. After doing too much sex, I lose my libido.

"I see~ In that case, I can't let the Commander turn me away when I go to see him~, so that the Commander won't turn me away..."

"Skyhawk has prepared some mini strawberry cakes; we hope the Commander will enjoy them!"

Upon hearing that he had such considerations and ideas, Tianying had already thought about seeking him out for development. So he brought out the small cake he had prepared in advance, used a fork to make a small opening just big enough for him to put in his mouth, and brought it to his lips, so that he would accept his bribe.

"How could I? I'd be happy if you came to see me, why would I turn you away? Ah...it tastes good!"

He opened his mouth to accept the small cake that Tianying stuffed into his mouth, chewing slowly the soft cake and the sliced ​​strawberries on top. Zheng Ri gave a thumbs up, saying that it tasted very delicious.

Now, she no longer resists being fed by the ship girls.

"In that case, I'll remember what the Commander said. If they don't open the door for me, I'll be angry."

"Besides, I think rather than turning them away, I've already considered that there will be many companions in the Commander's house, right, Trento?"

Seeing the satisfied expression on his face after he finished eating, Skyhawk smiled gently, then picked up another small cake with his fork and put it in his mouth. A cunning look appeared in his emerald green eyes. He then looked at Trento, who was sitting opposite him, and turned the conversation to her.

"There's no need to worry about that. The commander won't refuse our visit, right?"

Trento, who was resting his chin on his hands and watching their conversation with interest, was thrown into the conversation by Skyhawk. Trento still had that same smile on his face, and his wine-red left eye, which was not covered by his bangs, stared straight at Zheng Ri, as if he were looking at something he liked.

"Of course not. Alright, Skyhawk, I'll take over now. Empire, wake up and eat your cake! If you don't get up soon, you'll become a great empire that only knows how to sleep."

He took the half-eaten strawberry cake and fork from Tianying and gently rubbed the Empire nestled in his arms, stroking her slightly messy but exceptionally smooth hair.

I don't know why this great empire loves to sleep so much; it's just too lazy.

We must strike hard! We can't afford to be soft!! (Image attached)

"Ah... um, Commander, I understand... Hey me, and also, the Empire is great, sleeping is normal."

Empire, nestled in his arms, was gently patted awake. Rubbing his sleepy eyes with his right hand, he turned his head and saw the half-eaten cake. Empire's eyes lit up, but then he reverted to his usual lazy self.

"You're something else, aren't you? You actually want me to feed you? Well then, I'll have to oblige you. Come on, eat!"

Using a somewhat fierce tone, he spoke words that complied with her wishes, and then used a fork to pick up a small piece of cake and bring it to her mouth for her to eat. This reversal made Skyhawk and Trento chuckle, and it was clear that the commander liked the Empire very much.

"Ah~ um... Sister Tianying's cake is delicious."

Empire opened her pink little mouth, took the cake that was brought to her lips, slowly refused it, enjoyed the smooth texture in her mouth, and only gave it a very good review after swallowing it.

"I'm glad the Empire likes it... But Commander, this cake was made for you. If you want to feed it, I have more here; it's for the Empire."

Tianying replied happily, and then took out a small plate of cake from somewhere, which was exactly the same type as the one Zhengri ate, and placed it in front of Zhengri.

"I don't know, but it doesn't matter. A little is enough for me; eating too much will make me gain weight."

Looking at the cake placed in front of him, Zheng Ri glanced at it a few times and then politely declined. He then continued to feed the Empire, who did not resist. Instead, the Empire obediently kept its mouth shut, its cheeks flushed with happiness.

"Hehe~, the Empire looks very happy. The Commander really spoils the Empire. I wonder if the Commander can feed me too?"

Skyhawk placed his hands on the table, slowly resting his head on his arms, turning his head to look at Empire being fed cake by the Commander. Seeing Empire, who seemed a bit naive, being taken such good care of by the Commander, Skyhawk's face showed a happy expression.

Skyhawk thought enviously, "How enviable!"

"Me feed them? Of course! My lady eagle is so beautiful and charming, I certainly wouldn't refuse. Trento can do it too, of course."

Zheng Ri smiled as Skyhawk stared at him. It was just feeding him; what was the big deal? He then looked at Trento.

"Commander, I won't need it. Of course, if you insist, I won't refuse."

As he stared at her, Trento wore a satisfied smile and winked at him, his intentions clear: he wanted it.

"Okay, but speaking of which, what about VV Veneto and Roma?"

Coming to his senses, Zheng Ri realized that the three people from the morning were nowhere to be seen, and wondered where they had gone.

"They're preparing a surprise for you, Commander."

Tianying gave Zhengri a mysterious smile.

Chapter 318 Musical

"So, Tianying said this is the surprise you prepared for me?"

"Of course, as my beloved Littorio, I would naturally give you the best."

After finishing his afternoon tea with Tianying and the others, Zhengri was invited by the gracefully approaching Littorio to a mysterious place, saying that she had a surprise for him. So, under her guidance, Zhengri, carrying the sleeping Empire and Trento, arrived at their destination.

It's actually an opera house.

However, unlike the opera house in Zheng Ri's mind, after being brought in by Littorio, Zheng Ri discovered that this opera house was ridiculously large and also magnificent.

Upon entering, one is greeted by a large curtain and rows of red audience seats. Following the central walkway, one can see a circular design extending from the inside out.

And that's not all. Instead of plain walls on the left and right, there are rows of seats, five tiers in total. Each row of seats has several large round lamps, and if you look up, you can see large chandeliers that are already turned on.

It's safe to say that such a large opera house could easily accommodate all the ship girls in the entire port area to sit down and watch, with plenty of room to spare.

"However, there are issues with cleaning and power consumption..."

Compared to Littorio, who was already immersed in his own imagination, Zheng Ri, looking back at the massive building in front of him, had been wanting to ask for a long time: Is there really that much electricity to supply the port area? And what about the cleaning issues...?

"Commander, instead of worrying about these trivial matters, you should prepare to enjoy the upcoming musical."

"However, I, Littorio, am still happy to explain for my beloved, of course, as long as I know it."

Littorio took the Empire out of Zheng Ri's arms and let Skyhawk hold it first. Then he took Skyhawk's hand and gracefully led him to the first row of the audience. Skyhawk looked at the Empire and then at Littorio, then shook his head slightly and followed with Trento.

"Our port area is now equipped with a large number of ocean-powered generators and offshore wind turbines. The stored electricity is sufficient even if the port stops generating electricity for two months. As for the cleanup issue, Manju will take care of it for us."

"So much can be loaded? But I don't remember there being such a clause back then?"

Littorio's words shocked Zheng Ri, who raised his eyebrows in surprise, then frowned, thinking that there didn't seem to be such a clause back then, but Littorio did not answer him directly.

"It's alright, my dear, I'll give you the Naples you want. Terms? What are they?"

"Alright, Veneto, I've brought my darling over."

Littorio led Zhengri to Veneto's seat in the first row. Veneto, who was looking down at his book, closed his book and looked up at Littorio after hearing her voice.

"Thank you for your hard work, Littorio, ... Darling, come sit here, this seat was specially reserved for you."

After thanking Littorio, Veneto looked at Zheng Ri, then gently patted the seat to his right with his right hand, guiding him to sit next to him.

"Thanks, VV. Hmm? Pineapple, what are you doing here?"

After saying that, Zheng Ri got up and went to the seat she had prepared. Only then did she realize that there was someone sitting to her right. Upon closer inspection, she could only tell that it was Marco Polo.

And she was wearing the maid outfit she had bought herself, even though she didn't look like a maid at all.

"Please call me Marco Polo, Commander... no, Master."

"Master, it's time for tea."

Marco Polo, who was about to greet Zheng Ri by calling him "Pineapple," glanced down at him instantly. Then, as if remembering something, he gave him a friendly smile and brought out a cup of healthy black tea from beside him.

Drinking it will make you feel very healthy.

"Thank you, Marco Polo. You look great in that outfit, and is it possible that this is my nickname for you?"

He accepted the tea from Marco Polo without checking what kind of tea it was, and then spoke to her with a teasing smile, though Marco Polo didn't believe his explanation.

"Then, Master, are those three words you used to address New Jersey also a term of endearment?"

"I was wrong... Hmm? Is this tea from a tea bag?"

Marco Polo's example left Zheng Ri speechless, so he had no choice but to surrender. He then lowered his head and took a sip of tea. The taste was a bit off, and upon closer inspection, he realized it was brewed from a tea bag.

Thankfully, it wasn't some kind of apacha tea.

"That's right, I'm not a real maid. How would I know these things? I'm already doing a good job by just making you tea. So, Master should sincerely thank me."

Marco Polo

She crossed her arms and looked at him with an arrogant expression. She was already being kind by making him tea; did she expect him to thank her for drinking her tea?

"You're right, thank you, Lao Ma."

After gazing at Marco Polo for a few moments, Zheng Ri thanked him, and then couldn't help but laugh as soon as he finished speaking, "Old Marco, oh old Marco."

However, Marco Polo was a little angry and turned his face away, refusing to look at him.

"Ahem... Rather than that, let's watch the upcoming opera performance, my dear."

Watching Zheng Ri and Marco Polo flirting, Veneto felt a little conflicted. She didn't know why her darling liked to tease Marco Polo so much, but looked at her with a shy gaze. It was a bit hard to understand.

"Okay, I'll watch, of course I'll watch, but Rome will be making an appearance, right?"

Hearing Veneto's advice, Zheng Ri straightened his attitude and nodded. Then, as if he had thought of something, he leaned towards her and asked, "If I remember correctly, there will be a performance by Rome."

"Yes, the show in Rome is Midnight Swan, how did you guess that, darling?"

Veneto looked at Zheng Ri with a puzzled expression. Was it really that easy to guess? He hadn't given away anything. However, Zheng Ri gave Veneto a confident smile.

You can't exactly say you saw a really nice dress in Rome but couldn't afford it, can you? That's not something you can say.

"What about others?"

"Well, I won't spoil it for you. You should see for yourself, otherwise all their preparations will be wasted."

When asked to find out about the actual day in advance, Veneto declined, saying that the surprise was precisely because of the unknown; if everything were known beforehand, it wouldn't be fun.

"Okay, I'll look forward to it."

Zheng Ri nodded. He couldn't very well say that he actually liked spoilers, could he? But he also couldn't dampen their enthusiasm, so he kept quiet. Just then, the ambient lights began to dim, and the red curtain covering the stage was gradually pulled back. The musical was about to begin.

Chapter 319 Extremely Tempting

Zheng Ri and the others watched as the first dancer to perform, Garibaldi, began his solo dance on stage.

With the help of advanced lighting effects, she stepped onto a stage that seemed to reflect the starlight of the night sky like water, and with her graceful ballet steps, waves spread outwards from the places she stepped on.

She raised her slender, fair limbs and danced, draped in a black veil and a black dress with wings, adding a touch of mystery and elegance to her beautiful dance, making it impossible not to watch her captivating movements.

Furthermore, the beautiful and melodious singing voice emanating from her mouth makes one wonder if her voice has been kissed by God, which is why she can produce such a beautiful tone.

As the first opera to open the show, Garibaldi's singing and performance were superb, and Veneto expressed his heartfelt admiration. However, for the sake of the performance effect of the opera, Veneto did not make any sound, but gently touched Zheng Ri with his elbow and whispered to him.

"It's clear that Garibaldi is putting on a very good performance, Commander. You'll have to give her a good compliment when the time comes."

"By the way, Commander, what did you think of this musical? I thought it was fantastic. It's just a pity I can't dance, otherwise I would have given it a try."

Veneto shared her joy with Zheng Ri with a happy smile, and even clenched her fists in delight. Her tender gray eyes sparkled, and Zheng Ri knew she was truly overjoyed.

"Hmm... I also think this musical is pretty good. Her dancing is beautiful, and her singing is lovely. The lighting and special effects are also quite good. I initially thought it would be a classical type."

Zheng Ri nodded in agreement with her idea; he couldn't very well dampen her spirits, could he? However, receiving such praise from him, Veneto smiled broadly and showered him with compliments.
