Night finally settled over the port.
The Royal Navy dining hall, prepared long in advance for the celebration, shone brilliantly beneath rows of crystal lights.
Every table was filled with exquisite dishes, delicate desserts, and bottles of fine wine worthy of a royal banquet.
Even so, the Royal Navy girls attending the victory celebration seemed far more interested in the entrance than the feast itself.
Dressed in elegant evening gowns, they gathered in small groups, chatting softly while stealing glances toward the doors every few moments.
"Why hasn't the Commander arrived yet?"
"Seriously, the banquet's about to begin."
"Her Majesty said he'd definitely come tonight. Maybe something delayed him."
"Probably... Ah, I really want to hear the Commander speak."
Excited whispers rippled throughout the hall. Elizabeth herself was also waiting expectantly, though unlike the others, she appeared perfectly calm.
After all, she already knew her hopeless servant had deliberately been sent elsewhere.

Meanwhile, Jun Hao's eyes were covered by a soft ribbon.
He wasn't nervous in the slightest. Guided gently by Belfast's hand, he walked forward at an unhurried pace.
"By the way, Belfa, where exactly are we going? Why all the secrecy?" Jun Hao asked with curiosity.
"Master, please be patient. This was arranged personally by Her Majesty. She insisted on giving you a surprise," Belfast answered with a faint, knowing smile.
'A surprise?'
Recalling all the subtle "hints" Belfast had dropped throughout the day, Jun Hao already had a fairly accurate idea of what awaited him.
A grin slowly formed on his face as anticipation flickered in his eyes.
Looks like it's finally time to collect a few "Defeat CGs."
After one final turn, Belfast came to a stop.
Jun Hao halted as well and instinctively reached forward.
Judging by the shape beneath his fingertips, it seemed to be a magnificently crafted wooden door.
Belfast watched with quiet amusement as he awkwardly searched for the doorknob before leisurely opening the door for him herself.
"Master, we've arrived."
The instant the door opened, a wave of warm air carrying a faint, sweet fragrance drifted over him.
"Alright, Master, you may remove your blindfold now. I sincerely hope you enjoy yourself."
"Hm? Alright then. Anyway, thanks for all the effort, Belfa."
After speaking, Jun Hao heard the door slowly close behind him.
"It is my honor to serve you, Master. If you require anything at all, please call for me anytime~"
Even now, Jun Hao hadn't removed the blindfold. He cautiously took another step forward.
The room was completely silent. Aside from the muffled sound of his footsteps against the carpet and his own breathing, there wasn't the slightest noise.
He stretched both hands out in front of him, carefully feeling his surroundings like someone navigating in darkness.
"Is anyone here?" he asked tentatively.
No response came.
Jun Hao scratched his head in confusion and continued forward.
Then, suddenly, his palm pressed against something warm, soft, and undeniably elastic.
Almost on reflex, he gave it a gentle squeeze.
'Hmm... that's a pretty nice feeling. Might as well appreciate it properly.'
At that exact moment, a teasing voice whispered beside his ear.
"My, my... Honey... ah, no, Master certainly is impatient~"
It was New Jersey.
Without the slightest hesitation, Jun Hao continued his "appreciation" while finally removing the blindfold.
The lighting inside the room was soft and warm, gentle enough that his eyes adjusted comfortably without any strain.
At the same time, he couldn't help but silently praise Belfast and the others for being so considerate. Then he finally looked around.
The room before him was an elegantly decorated private chamber overflowing with luxury and atmosphere.
"Hehe, I just knew you would enjoy this~ So naughty... but honestly, I like that about you."
Standing before him was the mischievous and alluring bunny maid, New Jersey.
Beside her stood three breathtakingly beautiful fox maids.
The maid outfits they wore had clearly been tailored specifically by Belfast and the others.
From the sizing to the skirt lengths and overall design, every detail suited them perfectly, as though each outfit had been made exclusively for them alone.
Akagi and Amagi showed no trace of shyness. With their hands clasped neatly in front of them, they bowed slightly.
"Welcome, Master."
Their voices overlapped perfectly, as though they had been professional maids from the very beginning.
Kaga, however, looked far more restrained.
It wasn't that she was unwilling. She simply felt this cute style of outfit didn't suit her very well.
Still, under the encouraging gazes of her sisters, she shyly copied the same gesture.
"M-Master..."
Her voice was barely above a whisper, yet it reached Jun Hao's ears clearly.
Looking at their different yet equally charming appearances, Jun Hao unconsciously tightened his grip while "appreciating" the Black Dragon's world-class chest.
He gave them sincere praise.
"Not bad at all. These outfits suit you perfectly. You all look beautiful. I really love this."
That simple compliment made the girls happier than any elaborate praise ever could.
Even Amagi abandoned her usual calm composure as a "strategist" and slipped into Jun Hao's embrace first.
Leaning close to his ear, she whispered in a soft, alluring voice.
"As long as you like it, Master, I can wear this for you every day... as long as you're willing to return to the Sakura Empire with us."
Even at a moment like this, Amagi still hadn't forgotten her "primary duty" as a strategist. That level of dedication was honestly admirable.
Her actions immediately ignited the competitive spirit of the other two foxes.
Not wanting to lose, Akagi pressed herself against Jun Hao from the other side, tightly hugging his arm while her crimson eyes gleamed with undisguised possessiveness.
"Master, I can do it too. I'm willing to do anything for you!"
Even the usually reserved Kaga silently gathered her courage and stepped forward.
Although she said nothing, the anticipation in her normally cold eyes was impossible to miss.
"So this is what heaven feels like..."
Surrounded by soft, fluffy warmth, Jun Hao couldn't help but mutter his honest thoughts aloud.
However, as a proud member of the Eagle Union, there was no way New Jersey would allow the Sakura Empire girls to monopolize him.
Although Amagi, Akagi, and Kaga were undoubtedly formidable rivals, New Jersey had no intention of yielding.
"Honey... Master~ Fox maids are amazing and all, but bunny maids aren't inferior either."
She subtly adjusted her posture, effortlessly drawing Jun Hao's attention back toward herself.
"Honestly, you should've visited the Eagle Union first. After I went back and told everyone about you, they were so excited that they even built a theme park just for you!"
"A theme park?"
Jun Hao's interest was instantly piqued.
'They built a theme park that quickly? As expected of Eagle Union technology...'
Just as he was about to ask for more details, Akagi made her move while clinging to him.
She somehow produced a Pocky stick from nowhere and lightly bit one end between her lips.
"Master~ Before we enjoy the main course, let's play a little game."
"How about... the Pocky game?"
Jun Hao immediately bit down on the other end, snapping the Pocky in one bite before swallowing it.
"Sorry, but things have been at maximum excitement ever since I showed up!"
