The new day began with the diligent Kashino delivering milk to the door.
"H-Hello, Kashino Dairy. Today is still the double portion of fresh milk. Please take it. Oh... Miss Hutten?" Kashino stood still, looked behind her, then back at Hutten. "D-Did I get the apartment number wrong?"
Hutten, dressed in casual clothes, shook her head. "I spent the night here with the Commander. Thank you for the milk."
"Miss Hutten possesses enviable initiative," Kashino said with some envy. Yesterday, it was Noshiro at the Commander's place. Today, the mistress had changed. Wait, is the Commander too much of a player, or is Miss Hutten too capable?
The Cow Girl left, utterly confused.
Hutten casually placed the milk on the table and walked into Lu Chen's bedroom, where he was soundly asleep in bed.
She gently sat on the edge of the bed, gazing at Lu Chen's sleeping face. She touched the collar around her neck, and a gentle smile appeared on her pretty face. "Now you really can't escape."
Lu Chen had personally put the collar on her last night, signifying his acceptance of her proposal. As the collar rested on Hutten's fair neck, an intense sense of satisfaction filled her body. She almost lost all reason, willingly surrendering everything to Lu Chen, and the desires she craved became reality, one by one.
The only slight disappointment was that Lu Chen hadn't done anything else to her last night, merely holding her and sleeping through the night. Hutten didn't initiate anything further. The stage for the Commander was set; it was now time for him to take the lead. If she were to interfere with the Commander's thoughts by doing anything similar again, she wouldn't be able to forgive herself.
It was getting late. It was time to wake the Commander. There were many ways to wake him. Which one should she choose?
A strange flush crossed Hutten's pretty face. The thought of intimacy with Lu Chen made her body voluntarily excite itself, completely uncontrollable by reason. Yet, she didn't feel this was a bad thing, because Lu Chen really liked it.
A mouth can lie, but the body cannot. Lu Chen's reaction clearly conveyed a message to Hutten: He likes it very much.
Since the Commander liked it, she was willing to do it. Not only as his Ship Girl, but as his Oath Ship, his wife. She had an obligation to satisfy Lu Chen. Hutten didn't feel this compromised her dignity or was too subservient. Offering everything to the Commander was a Ship Girl's instinct. Moreover, she gained a pleasure from it that was no less than Lu Chen's. Especially when she felt Lu Chen's joy, it intoxicated her.
Hutten initially intended to give Lu Chen a morning kiss, but considering Noshiro had already reserved his first kiss, she reluctantly abandoned the tempting idea.
One of the unspoken rules among the Ship Girls was not to actively interfere or sabotage another person's date or established agreement with the Commander. If you ruin someone else's date today, don't be surprised if they do the same to you tomorrow.
She leaned down and forcefully sucked on Lu Chen's neck, then trailed downwards, placing her hands on his waist. She was simply too hungry for him.
Lu Chen groggily opened his eyes, and the unusual sensation in his lower body immediately grabbed his attention.
"Are you some kind of crazy woman? Is this all you think about all day?" Lu Chen asked irritably.
Hutten didn't respond until everything had settled.
"Who told you to sleep like a dead pig? Nothing I did could wake you up, so I had no choice but to resort to this," Hutten stood up, smoothing the wrinkles in her clothes, and urged, "Hurry up and wash up. Breakfast is ready."
Lu Chen slowly put on his clothes and asked in surprise, "You can cook?"
"My sister can," Hutten said matter-of-factly. "We're both yours, so why draw a line between us? I'll wait for you at my place."
With that, she quickly left Lu Chen's room.
Thinking of Friedrich, Lu Chen's heart softened. A gentle and beautiful rich older sister was not something everyone could refuse, and he certainly hadn't.
Hutten returned to her apartment, where Friedrich was already waiting for her at the dining table.
"Secured him," Hutten said lightly, sitting opposite her.
Friedrich offered a slight smile. Then, she frowned, realized something, pointed to the corner of her mouth, and said in a strange tone, "Hutten, here."
Hutten was confused and instinctively touched the spot. When she saw what was on her hand, her face flushed slightly, and she complained, "Damn it, why does this virtual world have to be so realistic?"
"Your personality is certainly becoming more lively," Friedrich smiled. Hutten had solved the only difficult problem. All that remained was to nurture her relationship with the Commander, something she had to do herself.
"Do you think that's good or bad?" Hutten opened a bottle of milk and chugged it down, treating it as mouthwash.
Friedrich said softly, "It doesn't matter what I think. As long as the Commander likes it, that's what's best."
Hutten tapped her forehead. She had been too deep in character these past two days and had forgotten that no one in the entire Iron Blood faction spoiled the Commander more than Friedrich. Asking her such a question was a complete waste of breath.
"Our task is complete. Now it's time for everyone to show off their skills," Hutten said with a light laugh. She, Friedrich, and Noshiro were already securely seated. If Noshiro had a bit of luck on her side, she and Friedrich had relied entirely on their own efforts to achieve this position, especially Hutten.
"Thanks to you, I closed the distance with the Commander without any effort."
Hutten waved her hand, continuing to drink her milk, saying nothing more.
Shortly after, Lu Chen arrived.
"Lu Chen, you're here." Friedrich smiled and waved him over. "Sit here. Let your sister take a good look at you, our future man of the house."
Lu Chen said uncomfortably, "Man of the house? Sister Friedrich, please don't joke."
"I'm not joking, Lu Chen. As agreed, my sister and I, along with all our assets and businesses, belong to you. You are our man of the house," Friedrich said, looking into Lu Chen's eyes with an unquestionable tone.
"I think we can modify the terms of the agreement," Lu Chen said with a headache.
Hutten interrupted. "Sister, don't you get it? This guy only wants us, the people. He has no interest in managing your mess of affairs."
Hutten, you're speaking for me. Although the words were crude, the sentiment was accurate. He was a teenager who hadn't even fully recovered his memories. Asking him to participate in Friedrich's business? Did she have too much money to spend?
"Is that so?" Friedrich said softly. "Of course, that's fine. I told you, you can do anything you want. Leave the rest to me. I will take care of you and my sister."
