Her white over-the-knee socks and black high heels on her lower body were equally eye-catching. Her overall figure was slender and well-proportioned, and her fleshy parts were quite ample.

"Xu Huan choosing you... I'm a little surprised too..." Guanghui, unlike usual, didn't dwell on etiquette. He watched Kewei take a small sip of his black tea and said:
"If I remember correctly, you only recently returned to the port, right? If you weren't lucky, you probably wouldn't even have had a chance to meet him..."
"Oh yeah... I'm a little surprised too, why was I chosen? Why did you, Glorious Sister—"
"Ok?"
Guanghui raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Uh...it's nothing." Ke Wei immediately stopped talking, paused for a moment, and then continued, "But speaking of which, why was I chosen...?"
"What? You seem a little unwilling? If you don't want to, I can talk to Xu Huan for you... He never forces anyone."
It's not that I'm unwilling...
Fearless put her phone away and popped a snack into her mouth: "It's just weird... after all, I've never even met the Commander..."
Knowing that the commander was staying in their own camp, Formidable was also a little happy. After all, the commander could increase the combat power of the sisters in the port, which would greatly reduce the risk of injury when going on missions.
But perhaps due to bad luck, she basically didn't run into the other side once after returning to the port area.
"Others would be happy if they won the lottery, but you would wonder why you were the one to win."
“No reward without merit, and besides, how can you know if it’s a ‘reward’ before you’ve even met the person?” Formidable muttered, then suddenly looked at Illustrious: “Illustrious, aren’t you and the Commander very close? Could it be that the Commander…”
"Stop..."
Looking at Formidable, who was already lost in thought due to the shock of the news, Glorious said helplessly, "The Commander isn't as frivolous as you think... Based on what I know of him, it's more likely that he's attracted to your skills rather than your appearance..."
Xu Huan and Ke Wei had never met, but Ke Wei's photos and other information had long been registered.
The current situation is basically one-way information transparency from Xu Huan to Ke Wei, so it is understandable that Ke Wei has some concerns about Xu Huan.
"I didn't think that way... After all, the Commander has Illustrious by his side. If we're really talking about that, how could I possibly compare to Illustrious?" Fearless said with a grin.
"As for skills..." Ke Wei pondered, then threw another piece of cake into his mouth and adjusted his sitting posture.
"Let him see it if he wants to... After all, he's a commander now, and I can't openly oppose him."
As Kewei gently twisted his body, the chair beneath him began to creak under the weight. Kewei was startled by the sound and quickly sat up straight.
"...Do you often eat more when you're out?" Glory shook his head when he heard the familiar voice: "You should eat less in the future, otherwise it will be hard to control your weight."
"Well....."
Kewei looked dejected and nodded listlessly.
Due to certain unspeakable reasons in the history of the prototype ship, its formidable weight has always been somewhat difficult to control.
Among the ship girls who weren't very friendly, Formidable also had another nickname that didn't sound very friendly—Fat Dinosaur.
So, apart from her own sisters or close friends, Kewei will forcefully end the conversation as soon as the topic of weight comes up.
If you anger her, she might even take physical action.
The two were still chatting and enjoying their afternoon tea when, about five minutes later, Glorious's communication device suddenly beeped a few times.
The ship girl picked up her phone, and the formidable one next to her, out of curiosity, pretended to lean her head slightly towards Illustrious, trying to see the message coming from the communication device.
As if he had seen something comforting, a warm smile unconsciously appeared on his lips, and he tapped his finger to reply.
"What's wrong...?"
Seeing this, Kewei became even more curious and quickly asked.
"Hmm...it's nothing serious..." Radiant looked up and gazed into the distance along the street.
Kewei also curiously looked over.
"Just now, Xu Huan asked me through the communication device if you were next to me right now."
"Huh!? And then what?"
Upon hearing the news about the commander, Kewei subconsciously straightened his posture.
Regardless of what kind of person the other party is, you should make a good first impression on your side.
“I said I was there, and he said he was about to come to my place and planned to come over to see you in a bit... to check out your skills and say hello or something.”
After saying that, Radiance waved towards the distance.
Kewei blinked and looked toward the end of the street.
A tall young man was walking towards them with a smile.
Chapter 179 Sparring
Ke Wei propped her chin up, her slightly chubby cheeks gently pressed flat in his palm: "So this is the Commander? He looks quite tall..."
"What, is it different from what you imagined?" Radiant asked with a smile.
Yes, there are..
Ke Wei looked at the handsome, seemingly harmless young man in the distance and said, "When I first heard that the Commander could directly confront the Sirens, I thought he would be one of those muscular, bald, bearded giants who could probably rip the sky apart with a single punch..."
"I didn't expect that... he looks like a recent college student? He seems surprisingly young..."
“He does have some muscles, but you can’t usually see them…” Glorious narrowed his eyes: “And does he just give off a youthful vibe?”
"What are you saying, Glorious Sister...?"
Realizing that Radiance was teasing him, Ke Wei quickly shook his head, picked up his teacup, took a sip as if to appear serious, and then continued.
"As for other things... she's quite good-looking? But that's not important to the Commander, is it? After all, appearance... doesn't seem to be as important as personality and abilities."
“You’re right, but a pleasant appearance can play a significant role in many situations…” Guanghui said, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.
"Right now, I actually hope he makes himself look a bit ugly, otherwise, going to Ironblood will probably cause trouble again..."
"A significant role? Like... when the Commander saved you, Illustrious sister?" His gossipy nature ignited, and he quickly pressed, "Was it around that time that you fell for him?"
"These issues are no longer important..."
Seeing the young man approach, Guanghui smiled gently, stood up, and took the initiative to greet Xu Huan, who had come to visit.
The ship girl tiptoed, then wrapped her arms around the young man's neck in front of him and gave him a light peck.
"Uh..."
Kewei hurriedly and politely looked away, unsure of where to put his teacup, so he simply left it hanging in mid-air.
"Good afternoon... Xu Huan, you're much faster than I expected..."
After the kiss ended, Guanghui led Xu Huan to his seat and said something.
"Good afternoon... I heard from Belfast and the others that Formidable should be with you, so I came straight over..." Xu Huan replied, then looked at the white-haired, red-eyed ship girl sitting at the table, seemingly lost in thought, and smiled gently.
"This must be Miss Formidable, right? I've heard so much about you..."
"...Nice to meet you, Commander. I am the third ship of the Illustrious-class, Formidable. I look forward to your guidance from now on." Formidable was stunned for a moment, then quickly put down her teacup, lifted her skirt with both hands, and bowed slightly.
"Because I was stationed out of town before, I didn't get to see the commander. Now that we've met, he's just as excellent as I imagined..."
The young woman was elegant in demeanor and spoke politely; there was nothing wrong with her.
Xu Huan raised an eyebrow, feeling that the other party seemed somewhat inconsistent with the description in the information that he was occasionally irritable.
Of course, it's only our first meeting, so you can't tell much from it.
Some things will naturally come to light as you spend more time together.
"The message I just sent you...you should have received it, right?"
Xu Huan sat down and refused Guanghui's offer to pour him tea with a glance.
"Hmm... I received it. It was a bit of a surprise. I didn't expect the Commander to choose me to go with him..." Formidable replied.
"Is everything alright with Miss Kewei? If there's anything inconvenient, please let me know, and I'll find someone else..."
"No, no... I haven't traveled far from home in a very long time, so I would be extremely happy to take the opportunity this time."
The two chatted very politely about going to sea, Guanghui's eyes filled with a gentle smile, his gaze constantly shifting between the two of them.
Judging from their current interactions, Xu Huan seems to be able to suppress Ke Wei's occasional eccentricities.
Although the young man's tone sounds very kind now, many of his words and the content of his speech have a quality that makes it difficult to refute him.
Simply put, it's a semi-mandatory command.
Xu Huan is very approachable and easy to talk to in daily life. He is also very gentle with the ship girls. As long as he acts cute, they will usually do as the ship girls want.
However, once it comes to missions, or activities that threaten the lives of the ship girls or himself, the young man is basically in a state of one-man rule.
You can offer your opinions, but whether or not they are adopted is his own business.
Until his wishes are adopted, everything is done according to his own will.
Although it sounds domineering, Glorious doesn't mind it.
And she probably only has this kind of personality to keep those crazy people from Ironblood and Sakura Empire in check, and she'd probably also easily appeal to the Northern Alliance's drunkards.
Soft on the inside, tough on the outside.
