Taihou: Ah~ As expected of Commander-sama! He's the same type of pervert as Taihou, Taihou loves him so much!~
Akagi: Kaga has finally matured, it's truly gratifying.
Zuikaku: Sister, why is their art style different from ours?
Shoukaku: Idiot! Don't be infected by bad women's aura. Be careful, Nagato might write you down in her notebook too!
Zuikaku: Oh, okay.
They say three women make a drama.
Jack had a full five here, and even if Kaga didn't join the drama because she was heavily damaged in battle, four people were enough to start a palace drama.
While they were fantasizing, Jack arranged the nutritional meals from the food box into a beautiful table setting.
It wasn't the portion-sharing custom of the Sakura Empire, but rather the Eastern Radiance style where everyone sat together to eat.
"This dish is Diamond Ice Crystal Flavored Roast Duck. Eating it can provide nourishment + energy boost + magic perception boost and other effects."
"This dish is Blazing Iron Vegetables. Eating it can provide nourishment + strength boost and other effects."
"This one is…"
Jack introduced each dish to everyone.
But the strange names of these dishes left the Shipgirls utterly confused.
After all, one moment it was diamond, the next blazing iron (Blazing Iron Ingot, a drop from the Hydra in the Twilight Forest), then magic and spiritual power, it felt like stepping into some fantasy world.
"Commander, those things you mentioned, they're not what I'm thinking, are they?"
Shoukaku was a bit serious, and was the first to ask a question.
Jack nodded, and took out the ingredients in front of them.
A diamond, a Burning Wish Agate.
"This can be eaten?"
"Shipgirls can even eat oil, why not this?"
"Hmm… well, eating oil is indeed stranger than eating rocks."
Shoukaku admitted she lost the debate.
Shipgirls, these peculiar creatures born from machinery, indeed cannot be judged by common sense.
So, with no psychological burden left, she was the first to taste these magical dishes again.
She swallowed a bite of the seemingly spicy Blazing Iron Vegetables.
Several seconds passed, and Shoukaku still maintained the posture of biting her chopsticks, as if someone had pressed the pause button on her.
"Sister? Sister! You're not—"
"It's too delicious!"
Shoukaku's gasp startled Zuikaku's unfinished sentence.
"It's like being naked in a warm pastoral field, feeling the scorching heat of the sun and the fragrance of vegetables with every inch of my skin. This passionate feeling, I can fight ten Sirens right now!!"
Sister… she's changed so much! These foods are probably even more terrifying than computer parts!
Zuikaku gulped.
"Is it really that delicious, that even Zuikaku has become like this?"
"Believe me, Akagi, even Kashino and I didn't expect that combining the essences of several worlds would create such a miraculous thing."
Farmer's Delight module.
A module Jack often forgot.
The original intention of this module was for casual players to enjoy a relaxed experience, focusing on collecting ingredients and the fun of cooking.
Some of the food within it did provide buffs, but they were few and far between; their main purpose was to raise the food's level, which then served as a consumable to activate the Gluttony skill for the Gluttony Necklace.
However, under Kashino's keen insight and Akashi's black technology, the ingredients' functions were purified, and as a Creator's Dependents, there was also the possibility of directly influencing the module, ultimately leading to the accidental creation of these dishes that surpassed even the most top-tier original Farmer's Delight foods.
Among them, the most terrifying dish could provide Resistance IV for a period, reducing any damage by 80%.
Akagi didn't understand the meaning of Resistance IV, Strength VII, and Swiftness VII that Jack spoke of.
Just by looking at Jack's high spirits, she knew that these things might be items that would subvert her understanding.
So, with her Commander's encouraging gaze, Akagi ate the roasted duck with diamond sauce.
Ding!—
A bolt of lightning shot through Akagi's brain.
She widened her eyes, and illusions seemed to appear before her.
She lay amidst a cluster of crystals, surrounded by pure, flawless, translucent crystals, through which she seemed to see things invisible to the naked eye.
In simple terms, Akagi's Inspiration increased to Max.
"How is it? What does it feel like?"
The Commander's voice pulled Akagi back to reality, and she said, dazed, "I saw light, I saw mist, and I even saw... the universe!"
"That's an illusion caused by a sudden surge in mental power. You can probably now control twice the number of carrier-based aircraft simultaneously."
For conventional aircraft carriers, their profession is more like a summoner; increasing mental power naturally allows them to use more summoned units.
"It is indeed a very powerful dish, but I see a time limit here, which means I'll exit this state once the time is up, right?"
"Indeed, but if you eat this dish long-term, or if you maintain this enhanced state during training, it will have a multiplier effect, and it's not impossible for the dish's special effects to become permanent."
"That makes sense then."
Akagi nodded slightly, then rested her leg on Jack's body.
"Hmm~ Commander, you always think of us Shipgirls in every way, how should we repay you?"
"You've given me your most precious things; this is just a trivial assistance, far from enough."
The couple exchanged sweet words, drawing closer and closer, closer and closer...
"Ahem!"
Taihou suddenly coughed.
She gestured to Akagi with her eyes.
[Commander Protection Alliance Ten Great Principles, Fifth Rule: When multiple people are with the Commander, no hogging!]
This was the alliance's creed.
Akagi naturally wouldn't violate it, so she gestured to Taihou with her eyes: The Commander has another side too~
Taihou suddenly understood, so she shifted her butt slightly further onto the table, resting her fair foot on Jack's other leg.
"You two, really."
Jack shook his head helplessly, moving his hands from above to below the table.
He pinched Akagi's calf with one hand and Taihou's foot with the other, and to show his firm opposition to this behavior, he directly activated 5x sensitivity, specifically caressing their sensitive spots.
"Mm~"
"Ugh~"
Both of them let out soft cries that couldn't be described with normal language, feeling as if an electric current flowed from bottom to top, causing their bodies and minds to overflow.
"Eh? What's wrong with you two?"
Zuikaku, having just eaten a piece of roasted duck, looked at the two making strange noises with confusion.
Shoukaku, blushing, tapped Zuikaku's hand with her chopsticks, "Eat more and talk less. After you finish eating, hurry up and train!"
These two shameless women are truly too much!
Next time, next time I definitely can't be in the same training ground as them! Because if this continues, Zuikaku will be led astray by them sooner or later!
Just like that, Jack accompanied them for about ten minutes, but the atmosphere at the dinner table was strangely divided into three major parts.
The Fifth Carrier Division, ravenously devouring food.
Kaga, mentally broken.
And the bad women Akagi and Taihou, brazenly flirting with the Commander under the table!
...
At the same time, at the battleship training ground.
After learning from Ayanami that Jack had drawn lots to deliver food to the aircraft carriers first, Nagato's expression had been constantly shifting.
Her younger sister, Mutsu, walked over and curiously waved her hand in front of her sister.
"Sister, you've had that expression for a long time. Are you thinking about something?"
"I am merely contemplating a possibility..."
"What?"
Nagato sighed deeply, "The Commander, perhaps he won't be able to make it~"
