Chapter 462

If I had met her sooner, if I had actually met her... wouldn't I have discovered this sooner?

Shinano couldn't help but have some thoughts.

But.

Although she was thinking about it, she was extremely gentle.

With tender affection and sweet love in their eyes.

For the first time, he took the initiative to hug Kiana, as if he were protecting a baby, as if he wanted to melt her into his own body.

They cherished her to the extreme.

"From this day forward, I belong to you..."

"I am but a humble woman, and I humbly request that the Commander take good care of me in the future..."

"..."

"Yes, me too! Please take care of me!"

Kiana did not resist Shinano's embrace.

Although Shinano was a little excited this time and hugged her a little tighter, her body was really soft, like a cloud, and smelled so good, like a mother's embrace, a very wonderful feeling.

Only.

This is indeed different from the last time.

Shinano hugged Kiana for a while before letting go on her own.

Her little face still wore that expression that seemed to suggest she was detached from worldly desires.

If I hadn't been looking at her, I would have noticed her cheeks were slightly flushed, and her ears felt like they were on fire.

Even her fair neck seemed to be tinged with an apricot hue, like the glow of the sunset.

It's really hard to imagine.

Such a heavenly girl.

There is such beauty as in the Mortal World.

It has gained a touch of vitality, but lost a touch of nobility.

It appears to be very delicate.

Yet it resembles exquisite porcelain, making it exceptionally endearing.

I have to say!

Kiana really loves this one.

Unable to resist, he reached out and took Shinano again.

As if in a good mood, enjoying a spring outing, he led her on a leisurely, brisk journey down the mountain.

A short jog reveals a bright and cheerful atmosphere.

Shinano did not struggle.

He simply followed closely behind Kiana.

Let Kiana lead the way.

Even when being led by Kiana, she had to lean forward slightly, like a mother being led by her adorable little daughter.

That's alright.

She likes it this way!

No Ship Girls can refuse her commander.

To put it dramatically...

They are even easier to manipulate than the Kiana's wives in the Future World.

But!

Being easy to manipulate is not a reason to look down on them.

Therefore, Kiana is serious about every Ship Girls girl. Right now it's just Shinano, but there may be others in the future.

But now, without a doubt, is the time for her and Shinano.

Even if it's just one in front of the other, holding hands, jogging, or strolling, walking along this mountain path.

That's satisfactory.

Because...

It doesn't matter what you do.

The important thing is who you're with.

Isn't that right?

Sometimes, a confession happens in a single instant.

Sometimes, even after a long delay, it seems that no action can be taken.

Without a doubt.

Shinano was lucky.

If we really get to the main palace of Sakura Empire, there will be many more Ship Girls.

Kiana might not be so quick to give her a ring.

Although she knew that Kiana had other wives, even many, many more.

However, Shinano didn't mind.

At least.

Among the Ship Girls, she's the first. Right?

Even if she doesn't really care about this... at the very least, she was the first, the first in every sense of the word. That's a fact.

Isn't that right?

As long as you're human, you still have some competitive spirit.

Even Shinano was no exception.

Just thinking about how she was ahead of all her sisters made her smile slightly.

In the end.

She was even a bit daring.

He simply picked up Kiana.

Although Kiana is not short, compared to her, she obviously has a petite and delicate appearance.

I was just being held like that.

It's like holding a little girl.

Kiana gasped, seemingly caught off guard.

But!

This kind of experience seems pretty good?

Shinano held her like that, and then floated up lightly.

No more mountain roads.

Instead, they headed straight towards the main Sakura Palace.

She was slightly, somewhat, enthusiastic.

He said it.

"It seems everyone is almost ready. My lord, may I give you a ride?"

But what is the reality?

That can't be right~

She clearly wanted to get closer to Kiana more boldly.

Furthermore, she openly displays her current close relationship with Kiana.

It's as if some people are eager to show off in front of everyone.

I want to subtly assert my sovereignty.

Why did I suddenly have this thought?

Shinano didn't know.

But all she knew was that she suddenly wanted to do it.

Let's do it!

"Look! It's Shinano!"

"Shinano is here! Is that... the Goddess? She's so beautiful..."

"..."

"Quickly report to Nagato and the others that Shinano has received Goddess."

"Let's begin the feast!"

"Yuudachi, I'm going to have a good meal, woof~"

"..."

The Ship Girls here quickly spotted Shinano and Kiana.

Rather, it's more accurate to Shinano's large, cart-like body, coupled with its nine snow-white tails, is simply too conspicuous.

The girls noticed Shinano first, and then, upon closer inspection, realized that she was holding someone else in her arms.

Is that the Goddess?

It certainly looks very prestigious...

They just didn't expect that Lady Shinano and that Goddess an even better relationship than they thought.

They generously gave away so many resources, so it's all fine.

How could Shinano hold me like this?

"She seems so approachable... this Goddess."

"Isn't it better to be more friendly? I think it's great."

"..."

"Suddenly, I felt less nervous."

"Thank you for your help, Goddess! We also need to send flowers! Don't let us down!"

Okay~

"..."

Meanwhile, on this side...

Inside the main hall of Chongying.

The unique banquet style of the Sakura Empire is the individual serving style, with low tables set out neatly, each table laden with exquisite dishes that look as if they were meticulously crafted.

The portion is small.

However, the variety is still quite rich.

PS1: Third update delivered. More tomorrow, keep it up!

450. A bunch of blind Ship Girls. She's the commander!

To be honest...
