Chapter 463: Commander, Am I Beautiful?

Qin Ge also didn't know why Akagi had suddenly changed; since that meeting ended, Akagi and Kaga had officially joined the fleet.

Akagi's figure often appeared beside Qin Ge, and her behavior was extremely alluring, far more so than the usually bold Belfast or Guanghui.

Although Qin Ge's feelings toward the shipgirls have changed a lot now, and he even comes to like or even love some of them, facing such an offensive he still finds it hard to bear.

So whenever Qin Ge saw Akagi appear, he immediately took a detour. This behavior amused some shipgirls who knew the situation.

Qin Ge, as commander, remained completely calm in the mirror sea when facing three advanced humanoid Sirens, but when facing Akagi, it was as if he were a mouse encountering a cat.

However, Akagi had no self-awareness at all; perhaps she actually knew but treated this behavior as a fun pastime. Every day she would bring Qin Ge some surprises, and sometimes Qin Ge would treat them as frights.

By the way, since there was nothing to do during the day, Qin Ge took a brief nap in the grand fleet's command room. But when he woke up, he saw Akagi looking at him with a full smile, and at that moment Qin Ge discovered he was actually tied up.

"Hehehe, Commander, you've woken up." Akagi said with a giggle.

"Well, I'm awake, but why am I tied up? Did you do this, Akagi?" Qin Ge hurriedly asked.

"Yes, Commander, you've really hurt Akagi's heart these past two days. I've been trying so hard to get close to you, yet you take a detour the moment you see me—do I really seem that frightening to you?"

Akagi walked over to Qin Ge, stroking his face with her hand while looking at his embarrassed expression, speaking as if she were a deserted young wife.

"Cough, that's because I suddenly remembered I had something to do, so I didn't greet you. Look, when you were with your sister before, I always greeted you each time, didn't I?" Qin Ge hastily defended.

However, what he said was indeed true, because when Tiancheng was beside him, it was the safest time to face Akagi, so he naturally would put on an act and go greet her.

"Hehe, does that mean you think I've wrongly blamed the Commander?" Akagi lowered her body, looking into Qin Ge's eyes as she said.

"Yes, yes, you've definitely wrongly blamed me." Qin Ge hurriedly said.

"Hehe~ Then, Commander, do you like Akagi? Do you think Akagi is beautiful?" Akagi giggled.

"Cough, beautiful, beautiful, Akagi is very pretty!" Qin Ge said firmly, and even he himself believed it after saying it.

"Commander, you haven't said yet whether you like Akagi or not?" Akagi asked.

"I like it, absolutely like it." Qin Ge quickly nodded, saying, after all, preserving his life is urgent now, so when he says something against his true feelings, Qin Ge feels no shame at all.

"Hehe~ Akagi also likes the Commander just as much." Akagi giggled, "And the Commander belongs to me alone; even if you have to manage the fleet, please don't forget this… otherwise, Akagi could only cut the Commander into pieces and keep them beside her, so she could see the Commander at all times, and the Commander wouldn't always make Akagi sad… hehehe…"

"Cough..." Qin Ge broke out in a cold sweat involuntarily; looking at Akagi's giggling eyes, he had a hundred reasons to be certain her words were absolutely true, because that gaze could not deceive anyone at all.

"Commander, you don't need to be afraid, after all such a thing won't happen, right? As long as the Commander gets a little closer, then a little more, everything will be fine, no need to worry or be afraid." Akagi said, pressing her face against Qin Ge's.

Heaven knows how Qin Ge spent the time afterward; when Peter Strasse came to the office, he only saw Qin Ge completely limp, slumped over the desk, like a walking corpse.

"Commander? What's wrong with you?" Peter Strasse asked doubtfully.

"I'm mentally and physically exhausted; haven't you seen that already?" Qin Ge said with his eyes closed.

"So it was the Sakura Empire's Akagi who came over, right?" Peter Strasse said.

"Otherwise, have you ever seen me like this before?" Qin Ge said, struggling to sit up.

"It seems the Commander's day has been quite tough as well." Peter Strasse smiled, "Do you need me to comfort you a bit?"

Qin Ge raised his eyelids doubtfully, "You won't also be preparing to act like Akagi, will you?"

"If doing so could improve the Commander's work efficiency, then putting in some effort would also be acceptable." Peter Strasse said.

"No thanks, I feel I'm fine like this." Qin Ge quickly waved his hand, "Besides, you came over for something, right? Given your personality, you wouldn't just show up for no reason."

"Of course." Peter Strasse nodded, "The command ship you requested earlier has already been sent from Shenhua City, and it also came with the supplies provided this month by the cooperation of the Nine Major Factions."

Qin Ge nodded, "It's already past August; this time we go out to sea we need to stay out for at least over a month, and when we return next time we'll have to face the Siren Tide."

"Although the Siren Tide here is much fewer in number than before in Shenhua City, its quality is a step higher. So during this month we must work hard, produce a few more fully trained shipgirls, so we can more effectively get through the next Siren Tide."

Peter Strasse nodded, "So the Commander is preparing to set out now?"

"That's right; rather than setting out tomorrow, it's better to gather resources right now and depart this afternoon." Qin Ge said to Peter Strasse, "If we calculate the time, we should be able to reach the Corrosion Level Four sea area by the early morning of the day after tomorrow."

"Understood, then I'll go down and notify immediately." Peter Strasse said that, then left the command room without looking back.

Qin Ge also stood up at this moment, looking at the office furnishings and involuntarily gave a bitter laugh. Although he had given Peter Strasse those reasons earlier, the biggest reason was still that he wanted to set out early to avoid Akagi.

However, thinking about it, even if he avoids her now, he can only dodge for a while, not forever, since Akagi is still in his fleet. Temporary avoidance changes nothing, but at least it can let him have some peace for a while.

The most fundamental solution is to let the fleet produce, as soon as possible, someone capable of matching Akagi and Kaga.

As for the whole fleet currently having this potential, it is the Monarch, the Enterprise, and that unnamed research Wisdom Cube.

The reason this isn't Guanghui is because Guanghui's personality is simply not that dominant. Precisely because of this, Qin Ge chose the Monarch as the fleet's flagship, not Guanghui.

Thinking of this, Qin Ge took a deep breath; it seems his strength is still insufficient.
