Chapter 465

Normally, no one would pay special attention to this or think that she suddenly wore a ring.

That's good now.

I finally realized what had been bothering me all along.

Suddenly, I realized the true meaning Ship Girls wearing rings.

Some of the girls were utterly shocked.

Some girls also found it unbelievable.

Some Ship Girls girl characters simply cannot understand this.

Even Nagato himself was thrown into a panic and almost scrambled to his feet to reach Kiana and Shinano.

He quickly picked up Shinano's hand, the one with the ring, and examined it closely.

"Yes... it's true..."

"It really is a ring..."

"..."

Although Nagato didn't mind that some girls from Sakura Empire actually left with Kiana.

But Shinano, isn't that wrong?

They're faster than anyone else!

Moreover, allowing certain Ship Girls to leave with the Goddess was a temporary decision they made.

In other words, Shinano was unaware of it.

You gave it to me without knowing it.

You two have secretly pledged your lives to each other?!

PS1: Second update delivered, one more to come, keep it up!

452. What?! You're the commander?! (The blue bull demon turns around. JIF)

"You lot are really slow-witted..."

Shinano, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, smiling gently.

Kiana had drunk quite a bit of sake and was a little tipsy. She nestled in her arms, smacking her lips happily.

Although she can solve the problem of being drunk on her own.

But life is short, and one can only get drunk a few times.

So from the very beginning, she suppressed everything about herself, including her internal energy and physical condition, just like an ordinary person, all for the sake of having a good experience.

Shinano gently patted Kiana's back.

It's like a mother humming a lullaby.

She looked around at all the girls present.

Nagato, Musashi, Mutsu, Amagi...

Akagi, Kaga, Mikasa, Shimakaze...

And also, my Azuma, Hakuryuu. And so on and so forth...

On her otherwise plain face, it was clear that she was smiling, and smiling even more happily.

Even just a single pixel of a smile.

All of this shows that she is happy now.

"What do you mean?" Little Mutsu tilted her head slightly.

Shinano didn't hide anything. This was enough. Since they hadn't found anything, it was time to give them a heads-up.

Don't you find this strange?

"Why... do you feel a strange sense of familiarity when you look at our Lord?"

"Why do you feel a stirring in your heart and find it difficult to find peace when you look at the Lord?"

"..."

"And why is it that when you look at the Lord, you feel a growing fondness and respect for Him?"

"..."

She said softly, "Ask your own Mind Core! The core of the Rubik's Cube's construction has already given you the answer."

"But we've rarely paid this much attention to these things lately. Much of the information coming from the Mind Core is subconsciously ignored, isn't it?"

"..."

Because there's nothing we can do about it.

In the past, when resources were scarce and people couldn't get enough to eat, the area was always in a high-risk state.

With the increasing number of alarms from the Mind Cube, they subconsciously ignore any error messages or notifications from the system.

After all.

What can we do if we don't ignore it?

Can't resources just magically appear out of thin air and feed oneself?

Stop fooling around~

So.

To put it more vividly.

Suddenly, out of a long-lost pile of alarm messages that I never wanted to look at, something that wasn't an alarm message appeared.

But there are too many.

Everyone has gotten used to blocking others.

The Mind Cube discovered that Kiana was the one they had been waiting for.

But they were already very slow to react.

In fact, Shinano was just as bad as the pot calling the kettle black.

Only when she truly embraced Kiana and began to observe her closely did she realize that Kiana was actually her commander.

Like everyone else, even Nagato, who was closest to them, had maintained a distance before.

How could I possibly sense so much?

Shinano paused slightly before drawing his final conclusion.

"Clearly, she is our commander!"

"..."

"!!!"

"?!"

"Wait... wait! You!"

"..."

It's not that it's unacceptable.

It's not that it's completely incomprehensible.

Rather, it's more accurate to say...

When the last piece of the puzzle appeared, it was put together.

They suddenly felt enlightened.

Yes!

Everything is connected!

No matter how surprised you are, a conclusion is a conclusion! That's the result!

That's the truth!

But...

Still a bit hard to believe, right?!

"So that's why you went with the Goddess? And called her 'Master'?" Musashi looked at his sister with complicated eyes.

"Hmm." Shinano.

"So you put on the ring because you were sure she was the commander? Wait, you not only signed a contract, but also a marriage agreement?" Nagato stared at Shinano with wide eyes.

"Yes, that's right." Shinano raised her small hand, and the ring was so dazzling in everyone's eyes.

She really did want to show off!

"..." The girls present fell silent, one after another.

They looked at each other in bewilderment.

I have to say, this surprise really came out of nowhere!

One's benefactor is one's commander.

How could such a good thing happen in the world?!

Even Nagato had only Shinano that Kiana came from another world and indeed intended to become their commander.

But she never imagined that the person they had been waiting for for years, even decades, to be their destined one was this very noble Goddess.

Is it really possible for such a coincidence to happen in the world?

However.

After the initial shock...

What naturally follows is unparalleled joy!

Very good.

Our Sakura Empire is saved.

The first place the Commander visited was our Sakura Empire.

Doesn't this put us a huge step ahead of any other camp?!

"Very good!"

"We are finally no longer Ship Girls without a commander."

"..."

"So this is the commander we've been waiting for!"

"I feel like all the suffering I endured before was worth it!"

"She's so pretty!"

"..."

Banquet?

What kind of banquet is this!

All the Ship Girls here now just want to sign a contract with Kiana as soon as possible.

Even if we don't get first place.

Getting second, third, fourth, fifth... is all fine!

If Shinano and Nagato hadn't stopped them, someone like Amagi would probably have pounced right there.

Shinano, protecting the intoxicated Kiana, said, "Our lord is not sober right now and needs proper rest. What kind of behavior is this, with you all rushing at him like this?"

"Even if a contract is signed, even if it is the order of events... it should be decided by the Lord."

What she said.
