I Became a Commander in a Crappy SF Game.

Ch.213″So you’ve returned.”

by fnovelpia

During the event preparation period given by the administrators, I decided to do everything possible to strengthen my fleet.

And according to my determination, the shipyard at the center of our power enhancement was working day and night, frantically constructing ships.

Of course, as resources became available and ships were built, construction immediately continued.

Each shipyard had different construction progress, but overall, they were scheduled to be completed either today or tomorrow.

“Jessica, how many days do we have left until the final event participation deadline…five days left?”

“Yes, exactly 4 days and 12 hours or so.”

I thought that apart from the ongoing construction, if I pushed hard, I could also level up Hresvelgr and the newly acquired battlecruisers.

“That’s good.”

I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the newly constructed third battlecruiser and other ships would at least avoid being thrown into the event at level 1.

And while the Superhumans were all taking turns completing various quests to secure resources…

-“Oppa!! I’m back!”

“Oh?”

I could see Marian making her comeback to the base after being away for a while due to the conflict in the south.

She had been away from the base for months before, but maybe because there was so much going on this time…

I felt much happier than usual to see Marian and decided to send her a welcoming greeting as soon as I received her communication.

And a little while later.

“The base seems to have changed a lot! Has it gotten bigger?”

“Of course.”

Perhaps to match the increasingly powerful users, had she changed her flagship too?

Marian arrived in a massive battleship that looked much larger and sleeker than before, docked it at one of our mooring facilities, and came to the command center.

And as always, she immediately clung to me as if she were my little sister…

“Hmm…you’ve grown quite a bit, Marian.”

“Hehehe, have I?”

As if trying to prove that Marian was growing every moment, I noticed her slightly increased…height and build.

During the pirate raid event, she had been like a malnourished refugee, skinny and twisted, but now she had grown into a healthy young woman with appropriate muscle and flesh.

This must be why middle-aged men from my previous life enjoyed watching children grow up or raising children themselves. I felt my heart swelling with emotion.

And right after having that thought.

“By the way, Oppa, I heard you were attacked by bad people while I was away.”

“…Ah, yes, that did happen.”

“I sent help as quickly as I could, but if I hadn’t pulled back my forces, there wouldn’t have been such a problem…”

“Hmm.”

“I’m sorry, Oppa.”

‘Is she an angel?’

We had already discussed this when she had to withdraw her forces.

Anyway, there were plenty of practical reasons why Leonard’s fleet had to be pulled out at that time.

Although the plan got messed up when we unexpectedly clashed with another user clan…

Right after that, didn’t she offer a new solution and send new forces to help the base?

And even though she was delayed by the aftermath of the southern region issues, she came here in person to help with the aftermath.

And now she was even apologizing to me.

‘Ahhh, a heart as vast as the ocean, truly moving.’

At this point, what was attached to Marian’s chest wasn’t just fat, but personality pouches storing her outstanding character and intelligence.

That must be why those personality pouches were so large.

Anyway, apart from these random thoughts in my head, since this incident wasn’t Marian’s fault…

I tried to push away Marian’s clinging shoulders and respond in a gentlemanly manner.

But since Marian was quite strong, I gave up trying to push her away by force.

I just gently patted her head, showing my gratitude in spirit.

And after the momentarily chaotic situation calmed down, I decided to introduce the new comrades(?) who had joined while Marian was away.

“So, this friend here is Sumeragi, she joined us recently.”

“Nice to meet you-nya, I’ve heard a lot about you from the Commander and others-nya.”

“Hi, nice to meet you, Miss Cat.”

Of course, even though Sumeragi greeted her cheerfully with her brain parasite(?) induced high mood…

Our Marian didn’t exactly welcome such a greeting with open arms.

It seemed she had mixed feelings about everyone except me, Jessica, and the original three who had helped raise her(?) when she was weak.

But that didn’t last long.

“I heard from Pashtra and Griyanar that you’re the official wife-nya, you two really suit each other-nya.”

“What.”

“…Do we?”

“Yes-nya.”

“Miss Sumeragi, right? I think we’re going to be very close friends.”

“I think so too-nya.”

Although Sumeragi’s brain was being caressed by the tentacles parasitizing her every hour, every minute, every second…

That was separate from her intelligence, which hadn’t completely disappeared.

Sumeragi’s excellent, smooth response successfully broke down the solid wall in Marian’s heart in an instant.

Of course, that wall breaking only applied to Sumeragi…

“Greetings, Pirate Empress.”

“…Oppa, what is this?”

“Well, things happened.”

When she saw Lein The Fixture, who somehow looked happier after being fixed to the base than before…

Marian’s expression inevitably turned sour.

And the end of that expression came when she saw the D-rank feminist crab… no.

“Urghhhgrbgrbgrgrgrgrgr!!”

“Oh Commander, what brings you here… Hello? Miss Pirate Empress.”

“…”

Marian reached her climax while watching “something” being modified inside and out in real-time by Griyanar.

==========

Anyway, after showing her around here and there after her long absence.

I let Marian wander freely, then went back to assess our fleet’s current situation.

Fleet Status

Total Points: 446/550 points

Aircraft Carrier: 1 ship, 70 points each = 70 points

Special Battleship: 1 ship, 65 points each = 65 points

Subspace Submarine: 1 ship, 50 points each = 50 points

Light Aircraft Carrier: 1 ship, 40 points each = 40 points

Battlecruiser: 2 ships, 30 points each = 60 points

Heavy Cruiser: 4 ships, 10 points each = 40 points

Light Cruiser: 1 ship, 6 points each = 6 points

Destroyer: 20 ships, 3 points each = 60 points

Escort Ship: 5 ships, 1.5 points each = 7.5 points

Patrol Ship: 10 ships, 1 point each = 10 points

Resource Mining Ship: 25 ships, 1.5 points each = 37.5 points

—————————————-

I found it strange that the “Neranjara-class,” which was only the size of a destroyer, required more points than a light aircraft carrier.

And the “Hresvelgr-class” was classified as a “Special Battleship” rather than a regular battleship, perhaps because it had strategic missiles or something attached to it.

But more importantly, at this rate, I thought we could participate in the event with at least 500 fleet points.

I found myself nodding with inner joy.
