It wasn't her Ship Cannon that had fired; it was the zombie that Commander had launched like a cannonball.
"Wuwu, I'm sorry, Commander, Ning Hai is really too useless."
At this moment, the girl disregarded her shyness, her heart filled with shame.
Jack patted her back and said: "It's okay, the night is still long. Commander will level you up and help you build your courage, alright?"
"Mm!"
Ning Hai nodded heavily.
Jack took out a handkerchief and wiped away her tears, which he didn't know if they were from fear or sadness.
"Enough talk, let's charge the dungeon directly! Tonight's full moon will be our hunting hour!"
"Oh oh! Let's kill some zombies!"
Pinghai happily raised her Ship Cannon and pranced around behind Jack.
Yixian, meanwhile, wore an auntie-like smile.
Indeed, the child who acts spoiled gets the milk.
She hadn't even kissed Commander yet, but the seemingly clumsy and ghost-fearing Ning Hai had already enjoyed it first.
Just a little... jealous, perhaps~
...
The night hours passed silently.
One or two monsters occasionally walked across the quiet ground.
In the Minecraft World, monsters only spawn around "players"; hundreds of meters below the surface of this area was where Jack and his Shipgirls were clearing the dungeon.
Boom boom!
Ning Hai blasted a small white skeleton wearing iron armor, her face flushed abnormally.
She seemed to have fallen in love with the feeling of effortlessly crushing weaklings, her monster kill count firmly at the top of the leaderboard.
Now, the dungeon wasn't spawning monsters, so Ning Hai simply guarded the monster spawner, waiting for the small white skeletons to appear.
Crack crack crack~
Another group of small white skeletons appeared.
Ning Hai, like a war goddess, raised her Ship Cannon and blasted away with her eyes closed.
Boom boom!
Crack~ Crack~
However, the sensation suddenly changed, and Ning Hai abruptly opened her eyes.
"Oh no, out of ammo!"
Crack crack crack~
The remaining small white skeletons swarmed towards her.
"Commander, save me!"
"Your grandpa's here!"
Whoosh!
Jack arrived at the scene before Ning Hai could even finish speaking, swinging his sword with such force that it created a gust of wind, obliterating all the small white skeletons within his line of sight.
Clink clink!
White bones dropped to the ground, and Pinghai bounced over to pick them up and put them in her backpack.
"Out of ammo?"
"Uh-huh!"
Thump!
Jack flicked Ning Hai's forehead.
"Who told you to fire with your eyes closed? All your bullets hit the wall, this is the third dungeon that's collapsed today!"
Ning Hai pouted, "What can I do? I'm still a little scared, you know~"
"Commander, my ammo is also almost used up."
"Look! Commander, you see, I'm not the only one who's a master of outlining!"
Yixian was indeed the Shipgirl with the highest emotional intelligence on the scene; despite having more than half her stock left, she insisted she was just like Ning Hai.
Jack gave her a deep look, then pinched Ning Hai's chubby cheek.
"Alright, since the bullets are all used up, let's stop here for today. Let's go back and rest."
"Eh? Are we going back already?"
Pinghai looked at Jack reluctantly; she hadn't had enough fun yet.
Jack, however, pulled her into his embrace as well, holding both sisters and saying: "Anyway, the small white skeletons won't leave this place, and whether it's day or night, the dungeon will always spawn monsters. How about we rest well tonight, replenish our ammo, and come back tomorrow during the day?"
"Alright."
The two sisters temporarily accepted the condition.
And as soon as 'going back to rest' was mentioned, both immediately yawned, so they simply snuggled into Jack's arms and had no intention of leaving.
"Ah, this..."
Seeing the two lock his waist tightly, Jack gave Yixian a helpless look.
Yixian smiled gently: "They're just children, after all~"
So they should go to sleep early and not disturb the adults' night time~
Before leaving, Yixian licked the corner of her mouth, revealing an expression as if she wanted to devour Jack whole.
...
Deep in the night, early morning.
Jack placed Ning Hai and Pinghai on the bed, and the two sisters automatically hugged their blankets, a steady and adorable breathing sound filling the air.
"They fell asleep as soon as they hit the bed, it seems they really are tired from playing."
"Yes, after all, Ship Gear is not equipment that ordinary people can bear. Firing cannonballs consumes a Shipgirl's stamina and energy."
Yixian tucked in the sleeping duo.
After finishing, she placed her hands in front of her lower abdomen and simply watched Jack quietly and gently, not saying a word.
The scene was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
"Cough, Yixian, you don't seem sleepy at all."
"Mhm~"
"Me too, so... want to go for a walk?"
"Won't there be monsters at night?"
"With large torches placed, monsters won't spawn around here. Plus, to be safe, I even added a mod that prohibits monster spawns near the Creator's home."
"Hmm... though I don't quite understand, the Commander's meaning is—"
Yixian leaned into Jack's ear and whispered, "—Now, no one will disturb us, right~?"
Smack!
Jack wrapped his large arm around Yixian's slender waist.
"Ah, that's right. We can even go a little further, and then, no matter how loud you call out, they won't hear you."
"Hehe, why would Yixian call out so loudly? Is it because... it will hurt a lot?"
"Perhaps, but... it might also feel very good, who knows?"
Their whispers grew more explicit, and their breaths came closer.
Until Yixian couldn't help but stand on her tiptoes and lean in.
Mmm~ Chu~
But she quickly realized Ning Hai and the others were still there, so she reluctantly pulled away.
"No, not here. Commander, let's go outside."
"Why not? Don't you think it's exciting to sneak a bite right in front of them?"
"Com-man-der~"
Yixian let out a spoiled, sweet voice, a shy blush creeping up to her ears.
Such a flirtatious plea was already Yixian's limit. To ask her to do it in front of her sleeping sisters would truly shatter and reassemble her personality, turning her into a Shipgirl like Taihou.
"Alright, as you wish, let's go outside."
Jack gave Yixian a light kiss on her forehead, then carried her towards the door.
The moon was full tonight; indeed, it was a good day for hunting.
