York looked at the Commander’s eyes, filled with resentment, and remembered how good the Commander had been to her. Ultimately, her conscience still bothered her. She struggled to speak, but Glorious gently tugged her small hand, and those words seemed to be pulled away by Glorious’s light tug. York opened her mouth a few times powerlessly, and finally lowered her head in resignation.
“I’m doomed, I can’t be saved!”
“I’m sorry, Commander!” York wailed loudly in her heart— “I really didn’t want this, but Sister Glorious is just too amazing. I couldn’t do anything, and somehow everything just came out. But you really can’t blame me, I didn’t want to!”
Although she felt a little sorry for the Commander, York still felt that this wasn’t her fault, or at least not entirely. If the Commander, who was so powerful, was still so afraid of Sister Glorious, then it was only natural for her to be controlled by Sister Glorious.
“It’s not that our army is incompetent, it’s that the enemy is too cunning!”
However, looking up at the Commander’s pained and resentful eyes, and with memories of the Commander’s kindness lingering in her mind, she ultimately felt that she couldn’t shake off this responsibility.
“Sure enough, it’s still my fault. I’m sorry, Commander, but it’s too late now. Commander, you can rest assured and go. At most, after your legs are broken, I’ll visit you often at your bedside to make it up to you!”
Wang Yu no longer had the extra mental capacity to care about little York’s thoughts; he was racking his brain trying to figure out how to explain this matter clearly.
But before he could think of anything, Glorious continued to say lightly, “It’s fine, Commander, no need to rush. You can take your time thinking.”
Wang Yu immediately stopped trying to think, and besides...
He couldn’t think of anything! The kind that couldn’t even be made up!
Wang Yu truly couldn’t think of anything to say in this situation that could break the deadlock. Fortunately, he was already a mature Commander with rich experience. He still had one last life-saving trump card. As long as he used it, he could easily salvage this situation!
“Mere Glorious, I can handle her with one sentence!”
He strode forward and, before Glorious could react, tightly embraced her: “Wife!”
Explain?
Explain my ass!
I’ll just go for a dimensionality reduction strike!
York’s mouth hung open; she clearly hadn’t expected the Commander to have such a side. This was simply too shameless.
Remembering what the sisters at Headquarters had said, the Commander was indeed a big pig’s trotters, and the more powerful the port, the more so!
“Where did your arrogant and untamed demeanor go when you were wooing me? You even made me chase you on the sea for so long!”
Amagi watched this scene with a smile from behind, her eyes subtly narrowed, like a cunning big fox, her thoughts unknown!
Gascogne remained expressionless, her demeanor showing no fluctuation, and even her eyes had become much colder. The Commander’s behavior seemed completely unsurprising. At this moment, her mind was still frantically analyzing the current scene model, but unfortunately, she had not yet reached any conclusions. She was now analyzing and taking notes, constantly filling her database with the Commander’s behavioral model.
“One day, everything about the Commander will be completely within Gascogne’s calculations!”
For now, Gascogne pursued precision, and uncertain matters had no right to be spoken about.
Clearly, in such a scenario, she faithfully performed her duty as a recorder.
Glorious originally held a tiny bit of resentment in her heart.
She had been diligently stationed at the port, not daring to relax for a moment.
From the day she arrived at the port, her carrier-based aircraft had been on day and night shifts, never leaving the surrounding waters for a moment!
No matter how hard or tiring it was, she never felt a single bit of injustice. However, she could protect the port but couldn’t protect the Commander! How could he be so easily taken advantage of by Amagi!
“Is the Sakura Empire’s big fox really that good?”
However, she couldn’t show these small emotions to Amagi. Frankly, she could understand Amagi’s feelings for the Commander.
There was a kind of emotion that could be empathized with.
But this tiny bit of resentment in her heart also dissipated with Wang Yu’s hug and that single word, “Wife.”
Although she had learned a lot from York, she actually knew that the relationship between the Commander and Amagi should not have made any breakthrough progress yet—after all, Amagi hadn’t gotten a ring!
This made her feel a little better. Indeed, no matter how disappointing the Commander was, he couldn’t possibly be so easily taken down by Amagi in just a few days.
The Commander still had a tiny bit of persistence!
She could only push Wang Yu away from her embrace in annoyance: “Alright, Commander, don’t be so childish. Pay attention to etiquette and maintain your dignity as a Commander.”
Though her words were mostly reproachful, they were much better than the sweet questioning from before.
Wang Yu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
“Easily done!”
York looked at the Commander with admiration. The soft sunlight streamed over a few potted plants onto the desk. Inside the office, the tense atmosphere completely dissipated.
“This is because there are no outsiders, isn’t it? In front of you all, a little less etiquette is fine,” Wang Yu’s mood relaxed, and his tone became a bit more casual.
Glorious rolled her eyes at the Commander. When it came to not learning from his mistakes, the Commander was as steadfast as ever.
However, since she had already decided to let it go lightly, she casually asked, “I left in a hurry at first and didn’t hear too clearly. What were you talking about with Gascogne?”
Gascogne, who had been silently analyzing and recording for a long time, finally found an opportunity to speak. She had finally encountered a question she could understand.
“Gift. Master said he specifically prepared a gift for Gascogne. Gascogne is very much looking forward to it.”
“You don’t look excited at all,” Glorious glanced at Gascogne and sighed in her heart. “Another child who can’t be easily put at ease, just like the Commander!”
“It was indeed ill-considered to entrust the Commander to your care. If the Royal Maid Corps were here, if Belfast were present, the Sakura Empire’s big fox wouldn’t be able to sneak into our home so easily.”
She thought of her sisters again; her own sisters were more reassuring. She was still too weak.
“Uh, everyone has one. I also prepared one for you, Glorious,” Wang Yu quickly interjected.
He had originally planned to give surprises individually, but with this incident, there was no other way; he could only offer gifts to save his skin.
Without much thought, he instinctively reached into his lower pocket, his right index finger touching a small square box.
The box was exquisite and delicate; one could discern its quality just from the touch at his fingertips. It was clear that with such an exquisite box, the item wrapped inside must be even more precious and beautiful.
But Wang Yu only felt his heart instantly plunge to rock bottom, even colder than before!
He seemed to have another big problem, and one he had brought upon himself!
“Damn it, I was too nervous when facing Glorious earlier. Now that I’ve just relaxed and let my guard down, I accidentally reached into the wrong pocket!”
This was not a gift for Glorious and the others, but rather a death warrant in this situation.
Wang Yu’s movements froze there...
