Chapter 322

When Qin Ge opened his eyes again, the sky had already gradually darkened.

The first face that entered his field of vision was Guanghui, sitting closest to him at his side.

"Commander, how do you feel now? Any better?" Guanghui looked at the dazedly opening-eyed Qin Ge, hurriedly bent down and asked.

"Guanghui?" Qin Ge uttered these two words, then pinched his own head with his hand, "Don't worry, aside from my head feeling a bit dizzy now, there's nothing else seriously wrong."

"That's good." Guanghui said with a smile, "Belfast went downstairs to get you hangover soup; she'll bring it up later, and drinking some will make you feel much better."

"Thank you." Qin Ge smiled and nodded, then tried to push his body up from the bed.

Guanghui hurried forward to help, using his body to support Qin Ge, letting him sit up and lean against the bed.

However, contact was inevitable, so when Qin Ge leaned against the bed, that warm touch made his face a little red.

Guanghui saw Qin Ge's complexion, so he quickly reached out and touched his forehead, "It's not hot, why is the Commander's face so red?"

Qin Ge coughed, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "It's from the wine; it'll be fine once the alcohol wears off."

"Oh." Seeing Qin Ge's explanation, Guanghui didn't pursue further.

"Have Senior Ganggut and the others left already?" Qin Ge asked Guanghui, also trying to change the subject.

"Yeah, they left after finishing their meal." Guanghui nodded, "And when they left, Ganggut said that if she had time later, she'd come over to drink with you again."

"Well, there's no need to drink again if she comes." Qin Ge said with a bitter face.

Guanghui heard this, smiled at Qin Ge, and said, "You weren't so hesitant when you were drinking before and were quite bold; why are you holding back now?"

Qin Ge gave a bitter smile and explained, "That's not boldness, it's risking one's life to accompany a gentleman. You know the Northern Union's shipgirls—they all have huge capacity for alcohol and love drinking vodka the most.

Although that thing is called liquor, it would be better to simply call it alcohol. When dealing with them, drinking is indispensable, because the more you drink, the more they will feel you respect them, and they will also be willing to get close to you.

Our foundation is still too weak; although the future looks infinitely bright, for now we have no say at all and can only obey orders.

Sometimes making friends is also necessary; within the Northern Union, the status of the Gangut senior and the Mercury Memorial senior is no lower than that of the A Furore senior.

So uniting every force that can be united will make our future path a bit easier.

Guanghui looked at the earnest Qin Ge, and suddenly felt infinite pity in her heart, "Commander, you actually don't need to work so hard."

"It's not that I'm working too hard; I'm just having some drinks. As long as you don't dislike my behavior, that's fine." Qin Ge said with a smile.

"How could I dislike you? From the moment I chose you as commander, I had already decided. No matter what happens afterward, I am your shipgirl." Guanghui said with a smile.

Faced with Guanghui's somewhat moving words, Qin Ge's heart was also deeply moved. Just as he was about to say something, he heard a gentle laugh coming from the House Door.

"Ah la, isn't it the wrong time for us to have come?"

Qin Ge and Guanghui both looked toward the House Door, and saw Belfast standing there holding a hangover soup, with Ou Gen Qin Wang following behind her.

"Cough, what's wrong with the timing? We're all family; why say such distant words?" Qin Ge said immediately.

Belfast smiled slightly, then walked in, bringing the hangover soup to Qin Ge's front and handing it to Guanghui. The meaning was very obvious: clearly she wanted Guanghui to give it to Qin Ge to drink.

Ou Gen Qin Wang also came to Qin Ge's bedside, looking at him with a half-smile.

After drinking the hangover soup that Guanghui had passed over, Qin Ge's dazed spirits finally lifted. He then said to Belfast, "Thank you, Belfast; I feel much better now."

"Serving the master's attire is a duty a maid ought to fulfill, so you need not thank me; this is what I should do." Belfast said humbly.

After hearing that, Qin Ge smiled and nodded, then turned his head to look at Ou Gen Qin Wang beside him. "Ou Gen Qin Wang, has the Nine Major Factions leaders' meeting ended? Have Anshan and the others returned yet?"

Ou Gen Qin Wang shook his head. "No, the leaders' meeting isn't that simple; there are many details to consider and many interests to contend for."

Moreover, every decision concerns a faction's future, so they must consider it carefully. Therefore, Anshan and the others are expected to return in the evening, and the commander will receive the information as soon as possible then.

"That's fine; I was still worried that I would miss the latest information while I was drunk." Qin Ge said.

"Actually, the commander doesn't need to worry so much; we've always been keeping an eye on such matters. Take this time today to rest a bit more."

"Moreover, the vacation has already passed more than halfway; before long we will return to Donghuang to begin the commander's second semester studies." Ou Gen Qin Wang said.

"I can't rest," Qin Ge laughed and shook his head. "I've been accompanying you all this time; I want to take advantage of our last stint in the Sakura Empire to visit the library there, read some books, and increase my knowledge and experience."

In order to prepare for the book on information rights promised to the Nine Major Factions, I need to do some more settling.

Looking at Qin Ge's appearance, several shipgirls didn't know how to stop him. Because they knew what Qin Ge said was right, they had no reason to stop him.

"Then I'll accompany the commander then; I also have some books I want to look at, and it would be perfect to study together with the commander." Ou Gen Qin Wang smiled.

"That's certainly no problem." Qin Ge naturally could hear the implication in Ou Gen Qin Wang's words; since she wanted to accompany him, how could he refuse?

The conversation gradually relaxed, and as the hangover soup took effect, Qin Ge also got out of bed and walked outside with several shipgirls.

By evening, Anshan and Changchun basically returned around ten o'clock. Moreover, as soon as they returned, they found Qin Ge and the Prince of Wales.

"Today's leaders' meeting has ended; basically, all the topics to be discussed this time have been decided." Anshan said to Qin Ge and the Prince of Wales.
