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

Page 103

After learning about Xu Huan's experiences the previous night, the monarch felt a mix of emotions.

She was indeed very unhappy about Xu Huan going to other ship girls for flirtations after get off work, but her unhappiness lacked a legitimate reason.

After much thought, I can probably only attribute it to the possessiveness that began to develop in my youth.

As for why possessiveness exists...

Because of a certain obsession in her heart, the monarch didn't have any good friends in the royal family. Therefore, after spending some time together, Xu Huan became the person she was closest to.

It's normal to have some possessiveness towards someone you're close to and who is your only one, right?

"Yes, that's right..."

Realizing that the monarch probably understood what had happened last night, Xu Huan hesitated briefly before directly admitting it.

Hearing Xu Huan's words, the monarch, who was already mentally prepared, still unconsciously clenched his knife and fork tighter.

She took a deep breath and asked, "...Is this kind of service...also within the scope of the mission? Xu Huan? I've never heard of him before?"

It was not surprising that the monarch found this strange.

If this kind of service can be considered a task that commanders need to perform, then there must be quite a few ship girls in the port who are interested in it, and the rumors should have leaked out long ago...

"Actually, it's not really like that..." Xu Huan thought for a moment and decided that it was better to be direct with a ship girl like the monarch.

"I wanted to find out some things about the Sirens from Ironblood, and then I owed them a favor... or you could say a request, uh... that's about it."

Hindenburg? Or Frederick...?

The monarch did not include Hu Teng in the list of possibilities because, according to Perseus's speculation, the other party must have been extremely well-endowed, otherwise there would be no way he could have that kind of figure.

"Frederick..."

"Okay, I understand..."

The monarch felt an overwhelming bitterness welling up inside him, and even the food in his mouth began to tasteless.

The matter has been clarified, but why do I feel even more upset?

Moreover, given Xu Huan's status, this kind of thing is unavoidable in the future...

Just this one time, staying in his own home must have disappointed many of his companions, right?

They can even intrude into your own home. What if they're allowed out in the future? Won't they be partying every night? Can anyone stop those legendary figures at sea?

The monarch sighed softly.

Regardless, trying to monopolize the Commander is basically unrealistic...

For the entire port and all the ship girls, the commander belongs to everyone. To monopolize something is not only detrimental to increasing the port's strength, but also damages the already strained faction relations.

But since they've all abandoned martial ethics... shouldn't I take advantage of these few days to do something?

Thinking of this, the monarch suddenly raised his head and looked at Xu Huan.

Just as the young man finished cutting and swallowing a small piece of meat, he was met with another round of stares from the ship girls.

"Uh... what's wrong?"

He chewed the meat in his mouth, and a bad feeling suddenly welled up in his heart.

“Xu Huan.…”

The monarch's knife and fork twirled in his hand over his plate. After thinking for a long time, he slowly spoke again, "I always felt that you were the kind of person who couldn't refuse others..."

"Actually, it's not so bad. I'll still refuse anything that really crosses my bottom line..."

"Then from now on..."

The monarch's eyes suddenly darted away, and even his tone became less confident.

"...Please don't reject me, okay?"

The monarch found it difficult to speak too bluntly, and his voice was also rather low, so Xu Huan found the words somewhat puzzling.

"what?"

"It's nothing... I think you liked the food tonight."

The ship girl slowly relaxed her grip on the knife and fork.

Chapter 141 House Design

The night passed peacefully, and the monarch did not do anything beyond his control.

After two short working days, Xu Huan once again had his day off.

This time, he didn't wander around aimlessly. After all, the scene of him wandering into a church in a daze while walking on the main road last time was still vivid in his mind. In order to avoid making the same mistake again, he felt that he should find some necessary things to do.

If I were to be arrested by the Royal Navy ship girls while wandering around the port area again, it might be difficult to explain to the monarch.

Now that I'm living under someone else's roof, and it seems they're very sensitive to smells, I'd better avoid getting too much of that smell on myself.

So he went to his place.

Looking at the bustling scene ahead, he turned to Kimbuli, who was standing on a large rock directing the construction work, and asked, "How's the progress?"

"Oh my, Commander actually has time to come and take a look? I thought you didn't care about your own place at all, Purin!?" Kimbri was also a little surprised by Xu Huan's visit.

But if she knew that Xu Huan simply wanted to avoid the 'wild' ship girls in the port area, she might have thought more than that.

"I just happened to have some free time today and thought I'd drop by for a look."

"Hmm... everything is going smoothly, Purin!! Look... Commander, everything is proceeding smoothly according to my plan, Purin!!"

Kimbri jumped down from the rock and showed the young man the completed drawing.

Xu Huan didn't understand much about architectural design, but he could still intuitively see some clues about the basic structure of his own house from the drawings.

At first glance, Kimbury's design seemed increasingly strange to him.

The young man pointed to the gate in the blueprint, somewhat puzzled: "Is this... my house's gate? Why does it look a little different from everyone else's?"

Generally speaking, an ordinary door should at least fulfill the basic function of keeping people out, but the door in the graphic design is more like a warm curtain that insulates against cold air than a door.

It felt as if you could walk right in with just a gentle push.

Is this even considered a door?

"Yes, Purin!! This gate is specially designed! And it uses the latest materials developed by the Commander. Although it doesn't look very sturdy and usually looks flimsy, it's actually quite strong! It can at least withstand a battleship's caliber shell head-on!"

"No, I have no doubts about the materials used, but it looks like you could just walk right in through the door, right?"

"Yes, indeed! I've taken into consideration that the Commander's home will likely have a lot of visitors in the future, so a traditional front door wouldn't be suitable for the Commander's residence..." Kimble waved his hand rather smugly:

"This is also to facilitate the bonding between the Commander and the ship girls!! Besides, there are generally no bad people in the port, so the Commander doesn't need to worry about his property being coveted or anything like that..."

"I'm not worried about my so-called assets, I'm only worried about whether I'll be able to sleep well at night anymore..."

Xu Huan silently took out paper and pen and silently drew an X on the design drawing.

He had trusted Kimbury too much before... he actually let the other party start construction without even looking at the blueprints. Luckily, he had time today and rejected this very naive design.

"And... this window, it looks like a door! And there aren't any safety measures at all?"

"Well... I think there must be quite a few ship girls who can climb in through the windows, right? To ensure the safety of the ship girls when climbing in through the windows, we've decided to optimize this aspect to a certain extent, Purin!"

"...You even considered the possibility of them climbing through the window into my house, but didn't you think about me at all?" Xu Huan complained helplessly.

It was only at this moment that he fully realized that, after all, Brie was a member of the ship girl faction, and would stand on the side of the ship girls and use their way of thinking to solve problems.

"Yes, Purin!!" Kimbri pointed to the bedroom with an air of importance: "For the Commander's comfort in the future, I specially changed to a larger bed, which can accommodate many people at the same time... There's also a bathtub in the shower room—"

Kimbuli's explicit and lewd words made Xu Huan feel somewhat embarrassed, so he quickly shook his head to indicate that the other party did not need to continue.

"...Just reinforce the doors and windows as they are, no need for all that fancy stuff. As for the bed and shower room—"

When it came to places like the bedroom and shower room, Xu Huan hesitated slightly.

After all, Kimblee's offer was incredibly tempting.

He thought about it carefully and decided that it wouldn't be good to completely reject Kimbri's ideas right away, so he nodded and acknowledged the other party's designs for the bedroom and shower room: "The ideas for these two places are alright, we can keep them..."

"I see... I understand now, Purin!" Kimbri nodded thoughtfully and said, "The Commander likes to be affectionate with the ship girls, but he can't express it too directly..."

"Alright, alright... no need to continue. Give me some face." Jin Buli bluntly exposed Xu Huan's hidden dark thoughts, causing him to blush with embarrassment.

Although it sounds strange, intimate behavior has been proven to enhance the mental strength of both the ship girls and himself after multiple verifications. So, in a sense, he was thinking about the strength of himself and the port.

With the Sirens as a formidable enemy, it is perfectly normal and acceptable for one to make small sacrifices and contributions for the bright future of the planet.

The young man and Kimbri continued to argue and discuss the remaining details, while a very familiar voice came from afar.

"commander...."

Xu Huan turned around and saw a blonde girl standing in the distance, her hands clasped in front of her, her pale green eyes looking at the young man with a hint of surprise and joy.

I almost forgot... my place is very close to Aurora's little house, so bumping into her here is quite normal.

“Commander…you’re busy again, Purin!” Kimbri said meaningfully.
