How do I start a romantic relationship with a ship girl?

Page 15

He has also experienced being targeted by so-called "honey traps" when facing female enemies, such as female spies, but he was determined back then and was not as confused as he is now.

Was I influenced by the ship girl's mental energy?

"Commander... how are you feeling?"

Hu Teng saw the reaction he wanted, and his usually cool face could no longer hide his smile, a beautiful curve appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"...In the ship girls, is the meaning of kissing different from that of humans, Hu Teng?"

"Commander... you'd rather think of it as a kiss between a ship girl and a human having a different meaning than as me liking you?" Hu Teng took two large pieces of grilled meat from the stall owner and handed one of them to Xu Huan.

"People who think this way because we haven't known each other long enough are somewhat narcissistic."

Xu Huan took the grilled meat, shook his head, and dismissed the idea that she liked him as unreliable.

How's the barbecue at this place?

"It's alright, but not as good as canned starfish..."

Hu Teng nodded slightly, making the starfish canned food a memory, and then continued with the previous topic:

"Actually, ship girls' feelings are a little different from humans'... Commander will understand in the future."

"Not quite the same? What do you mean?"

Hu Teng suddenly stopped what he was doing, looked behind Xu Huan, and after a while, continued speaking:

"Most ship girls have intense and fierce emotions... Commander, you'll have to be careful with them in the future."

Xu Huan sensed that Hu Teng seemed to be implying something, so he turned around.

In the distance, amidst the bustling crowd, Royal Fortune stared blankly at the two people standing in front of the barbecue stall.

Their eyes met, and then she lowered her head slightly, pressing her palm against the pendant on her chest.

-------------------------------------

Port Royal.

In a beautifully landscaped garden, golden sunlight streams onto the golden roof of the central palace, reflecting a dazzling light that seems to envelop the entire palace in a sacred halo. The roof tiles are intricately carved, each one seemingly telling an ancient story.

Such a magnificent building would be extremely eye-catching anywhere, but it appears quite ordinary among the continuous royal palace complexes.

Inside the palace, a ship girl with long golden hair was engrossed in writing something at her desk.

Because the files on the desktop were piled up too high, apart from her two very distinctive 'little ears' made of hair, most of the ship girl's head was surrounded by files.

"The arrangements for the day after tomorrow... that's about it."

Having finally completed her mission, the ship girl leaned back in her seat, feeling somewhat exhausted, and stretched.

Recently, during the period of frequent Sirens activity, His Majesty has started to slack off again, and naturally, all the extra documents that need to be processed have been sent to her.

But there was nothing she could do; she was a war-weary person...

Aside from Elizabeth, she is one of the most representative ship girls in the Royal Navy.

"It's rare to finish everything, I need to take a good rest for the rest of the day..."

Having finished the work in a relaxed and pleasant manner, Warspite poured himself a cup of hot black tea, sat down in his chair, and began to think about how to spend this rare, leisurely half-day.

"Ring ring ring————"

The urgent ringing of the telephone interrupted War-weary's thoughts. Bringing her attention back, she turned on the communication device, and the word Belfast came into view.

"That's strange... At this hour, she should still be on duty at the city's teleportation point, right? How come she has time to call me... Has the teleportation point been compromised?" Warspite wondered.

When the call connected, Belfast's weak and feeble voice came from the other end.

"Hey, Warspite, can you hear me?"

"What's wrong? Did something happen to the teleportation point?" Upon hearing Belfast's voice sound off, Warspite immediately realized something was amiss.

"Yes...one person visited the teleportation point today, he—"

"Humans?" Warspite immediately asked.

Yes...he—

"No way? My mental energy was just replenished a few days ago. It shouldn't have any problems again in such a short time... But what's wrong with your voice? Are you sick?"

“…Let me finish speaking first.” Belfast took a deep breath:

"The person who came today is the master."

Chapter Twenty-One: The Big One Is Coming

The crowd was noisy and bustling, but the Royal Wealth only found them noisy.

She had been there for quite some time. When she first saw Xu Huan and Hu Teng, she wanted to go up and greet them, but after seeing their hands clasped together, she hesitated and finally chose to stand aside and watch silently.

Then, she saw Hu Teng tiptoe and gently kiss Xu Huan on the cheek.

She froze in place.

Has their relationship... reached this point?

Shopping together, holding hands, even kissing...

If you didn't look at their facial expressions, you would think they were a couple deeply in love, right?

How did my own crew members end up having this kind of relationship with other people?

Royal Wealth felt a tightness in her chest; she didn't know why she felt inexplicably sad.

It felt like something was about to be stolen from us.

No, it's been stolen.

It felt even worse than when half of my possessions were confiscated by the Royal Navy's ship girls.

The girl pressed the crystal pendant that Xu Huan had given her to her chest, hoping that it would help her calm down a bit, just like when she was chatting with Hu Teng on the ship.

This time, however, the crystal pendant did not bring her the peace that could soothe her; instead, it made her even more agitated.

Just then, the two people in front of the barbecue stall across the street seemed to have noticed her too, and they both looked over.

Royal Wealth quickly lowered his head, composed himself, and barely managed to regain his composure before walking towards the two.

"What are you two doing here? When did you find Xu Huan?"

She gave a somewhat forced smile and asked.

However, even Xu Huan couldn't hide his forced expression, let alone Hu Teng, who had been paying close attention.

"Little octopus, what's wrong? Did you run into some trouble?" Xu Huan asked, frowning.

"It's nothing... I'm just thinking about what happened with the royal family before, and I'm feeling a little down for a moment."

Royal Wealth hurriedly tried to explain, even forcing herself to smile more brightly, but the soft tentacles in her hair betrayed her current state of mind.

Feeling down? How about trying this?

Xu Huan handed the girl the piece of roasted meat he had just taken a bite of: "Although the food on the ship is not bad, it's still inferior to this piece of roasted meat..."

The girl suddenly raised her head, her red eyes looking at Xu Huan.

“Xu Huan.…”

"what happened?"

"No, nothing."

Royal Fortune shook his head again, took the sizzling piece of roasted meat, and then looked at Hu Teng, who was also holding a piece of roasted meat and had been standing silently to the side since the beginning.

The two looked at each other, his contemptuous yellow vertical pupils narrowed slightly, and his red eyes gradually turned cold.

"childish..."

Hu Teng smacked his lips.

As expected of a ship girl who still harbors dreams and expectations for treasures and adventures... Apart from developing a well-proportioned physique, her thoughts are almost identical to those of childlike destroyers.

Even now... do you still only see that man as a so-called crew member? Or do you just want to maintain this relationship?

But this is for the best, because she wants to bring back the Ironblood.

"Don't make that face. Just keep playing your pirate pretend game..."

Hu Teng walked past Royal Fortune and said in a low voice:

"By the way, the royal family should be aware of his existence by now... I hope that what happened before, when the royal family confiscated all your 'treasures', will not happen again."

"...Royal?"

Upon hearing the term, the girl instinctively placed her hand on the crystal pendant again.

This time, feeling the rich mental energy within, she finally slowly broke free from her anxiety.

Power is still the most reliable source of security...

What is there to worry about?

At worst, we can just fight it out.
