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

Page 112

Xu Huan suddenly felt that the ship girls in the port area were starting to act strangely.

This morning, after he left home, every ship girl he encountered in the port seemed to look at him with a different kind of gentleness than usual...

Although his tone remained very friendly, one could always sense a hint of fervor in his eyes.

Even the usually gentle and kind-hearted Glorious One has been tainted by it.

It's as if something triggered her, and suddenly all her usual pretense crumbled, revealing her most authentic self.

What strange things happened in the port area when I woke up?

With doubts in mind, I arrived at the office at my usual time, only to find that Warspite and Belfast, whom I usually get along with, seemed a little off.

"Is something big happening today?" Xu Huan raised an eyebrow, stuffed his breakfast into his mouth, and looked at the two of them, saying, "Why do you two seem to be looking at me a little strange..."

"Well... I'm not really sure what to say."

He stammered and couldn't get a straight answer for a long time.

It can't be that everyone realized they couldn't keep the truth about the commander a secret any longer, so they were trying to gain an advantage before ship girls from other factions joined the competition for the commander, right?

"Belfa doesn't know how to answer Master's question either."

Belfast remained as amiable and gentle as ever, though the slight dark line in her eyes did not escape the young man's notice.

"Um...."

Xu Huan glanced suspiciously at the two of them, then shook his head, deciding to put his questions aside for the time being.

"Never mind... Just remember to let me know if anything happens..." Xu Huan swallowed the last bite of bread in a hurry, and then prepared to process the documents as usual.

But when he saw the files piled up like a small mountain on his desk, he squinted in confusion.

It seems the problems in the port aren't just limited to the ship girls; the number of other tasks has suddenly increased dramatically...

I've only ever seen such a large quantity before, during the review process for detectors. How come I'm seeing this today too?

"Is there some special occasion lately?" Xu Huan asked Belfast, tapping his index finger lightly on the table.

"No, Master. According to the human calendar, the next holiday will not be until next month."

"Then why are there suddenly so many things to deal with?" Xu Huan pointed to the small mountain in front of him and asked, "I only rested for one day, didn't I? It shouldn't be piling up like this..."

"Actually... most of these concern other factions. The internal affairs of the Royal Family are pretty much the same as usual, Master," Belfast explained softly. "As for the details, you'll understand once you see for yourself..."

Upon hearing Belfast's explanation, Xu Huan picked up the two documents out of curiosity and began to read them.

However, before he could examine the contents of the document carefully, his attention was drawn to the name on it.

"Aegir? Isn't that a legendary heavy cruiser from the Ironbloods? How did things get involved with the Royal Navy..."

As for the other document, Xu Huan caught a glimpse of the name on it out of the corner of his eye: "This one is... Nimi? Oh, I do remember this one, Z23, right? I think it was a destroyer..."

"Why are two Ironblood ship girls suddenly targeting the Royal Navy...? Is it because their port was attacked by Sirens and they need to request support?"

Belfast maintained her polite smile and remained silent.

Meanwhile, Warspite, who had been secretly watching the situation from the side, began to feel a little nervous without realizing it.

Before Xu Huan arrived, she had organized some of the documents inside. Although she hadn't read them all, she had a general idea of ​​what they contained.

It's nothing more than wanting to confirm whether the commander's information is true or not, and a bunch of other miscellaneous things like invitations to Ironblood.

She and Belfast initially considered simply taking the documents, but after careful consideration, they decided it would be better to present them to Xu Huan and let him make his own decision.

Judging from the reactions of all parties, information about the commander can no longer be kept secret...

The involvement of the Ironblood faction was only a matter of time.

The Royal Navy has monopolized the commander for so long; if this continues, it may provoke widespread anger.

Who knows if Ironblood will spread the news to all the ship girls in all factions...

This is also disrespectful to Commander Xu Huan.

Xu Huan opened the document sent by the ship girl named Egil, and after reading its contents, he fell silent.

Are the Ironblood ship girls... a bit too unrestrained?

Who knows, maybe she's a succubus like Hindenburg's feud...?

With questions in mind, the young man opened Nimi's file.

"Ugh?"

Xu Huan blinked, quite intrigued.

Like discovering a clear spring amidst a mudslide, Nimi's documents, in terms of wording and other aspects, have a very pleasant feel to them.

The young man could even sense the seriousness with which she wrote those words from the neatly arranged characters in front of him.

"She seems a bit different from the other Ironblood ship girls... but—"

Xu Huan frowned in confusion: "Why do they all seem unsure of my identity? The way they're talking..."

In his mind, it was hard to say about the ship girls from other factions, but the Ironblood ship girls who had already come into contact with him should know his accurate information.

Hutten and Friedrich Hindenburg...

And they even had two fights that were unclear.

"Master...do you have any thoughts?" Belfast asked with concern, noticing the young man's puzzled expression.

"Ah...no, it's just a little strange."

Xu Huan held the Z23 file, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Do you know Z23?"

“Miss Z23? I remember her very well…” Belfast said, “Even though we’re on opposing sides, I still admire her determined and earnest character…”

"Hmm... she hopes I can go and take a look at Ironblood..."

What is your opinion, Master?

Belfast knew that Xu Huan probably had some ideas, and her heart sank slightly, but she still went along with it.

At this moment, Warspite, who was standing to the side, also became nervous.

“If I have the chance… I should definitely go, and also confirm my guesses and thoughts…” Xu Huan stretched: “But it’s not good to go alone… Belfast, why don’t you come with me?”

Belfast's somewhat suppressed mood instantly eased, and a smile appeared on her lips:

"It is my honor... Master."

"What!!"

Warspite stared wide-eyed, wanting to say something, but the words wouldn't come out.

She turned her head and looked at Belfast, who was smiling, and a complicated emotion suddenly flashed through her mind.

When she first heard that Xu Huan was planning to go to Ironblood, she was nervous but not too worried.

After all, the royal head maid was standing beside the commander as his personal secretary, and could promptly offer corrective advice on some ideas that didn't sound so 'reasonable'.

But to Warspite's utter surprise, Belfast didn't say a word, and instead simply followed Xu Huan to the Ironblood side...

In a sense, wouldn't this violate the principle of royal priority, since Belfast is, after all, the head maid of the royal family...?

But... if Belfast's role were changed to mine...

Warspite tried to put herself in Belfast's shoes and realized that if she had the chance... she would probably just follow her there.

As for the interests of the royal family...

As a ship girl, my priority is naturally the commander's interests!

"that...."

Thinking of this, Warspite hesitated before speaking.

"What's wrong?" Xu Huan and Belfast looked over at the same time, both with puzzled expressions.

"Actually, I could also go to the Sangvis Ferri side, Commander..."

"Hmm? Is Warspite going to come along too?" Xu Huan was also somewhat tempted upon hearing this.

I'm going to the Sangvis Ferri, a place I've never been before. Warspite is very capable at handling various matters and knows many high-ranking members of the Sangvis Ferri. Going with her seems like a good idea...

Just then, the observant Belfast shook her head and whispered a suggestion:

“Master... I think it would be better for Miss Warspite to stay in the port.”

"Uh?"

Warspite blinked, her gaze momentarily blank as she looked at Belfast.

"Oh? How so?"

“If you and I go to Ironblood, then there will be no ship girls in the Royal Navy to handle daily administration. After all, Your Majesty’s childlike nature is well known to you. So for the sake of stability in the Royal Navy, it would be better for Warspite to stay in the Royal Navy.”

"If you're going to Ironblood... I'll go with you."

Belfast...

War-weariness fell silent.
