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

Page 128

Something must be wrong...

The little wildcat felt like it had been set up.

As the saying goes, "the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind," she was just like that mantis at this moment. After preparing to eat the cicada, what she was about to eat was completely taken away by the oriole behind her.

But everyone was drinking from the same jar of wine, so what exactly is the problem?

Hu Teng found himself increasingly confused, so he had to change his approach to solving the problem.

Since we're already at Xu Huan's house, we can just go to his room and take a look... one look will be enough to confirm.

If the two of them are really planning to do something—

They're probably still lying in bed together right now, right?

Having made up his mind, Hu Teng tiptoed to the door.

The door to the room next door wasn't locked. Hu Teng opened it and peeked inside. The white-haired ship girl was fast asleep on the bed.

Very good, the suspicion against Glorious can be completely ruled out.

Following the approximate location, Hu Teng quietly walked to the master bedroom.

Her heart was beating a little fast, but the ship girl still placed her hand on the doorknob.

"squeak--"

A faint sound came from inside. The master bedroom was empty, and the blankets on the bed were neatly folded. As expected, the young man who was supposed to be lying on the bed did not appear.

"...Where is he/she?"

The alarm bells that had been ringing in his mind immediately filled Hu Teng's mind. He could no longer care about being cautious and quickly walked towards the doors of other rooms.

Someone's stealing food!!!

After opening several rooms in succession without seeing Xu Huan, Hu Teng clenched his fists slightly.

This was the biggest loss she had suffered in all the time she had spent with Xu Huan since they met.

As expected, you can't judge a ship girl's strength or weakness by her appearance alone...

Appearance is one of the most deceptive traits.

Just as Hu Teng was hurrying through the living room, the aroma wafting from the kitchen made her stop in her tracks.

Turning his head, he saw the young man he had been searching for sitting in front of the stove, slowly simmering something.

The breath he had been holding in dissipated in an instant. Hu Teng exhaled softly and slowly walked towards the kitchen.

"you're awake?"

Hu Teng's movements were not quiet, so Xu Huan could easily catch them.

He turned around and gave a brief greeting: "Seeing you all drink so much last night, I thought I'd make some millet porridge this morning to soothe your stomachs. It'll be ready in a while... If you're hungry, you can have a piece of bread to tide you over."

As he spoke, he tossed half a piece of toast toward the ship girl, and it landed precisely in Hu Teng's mouth.

"Well--"

Hu Teng took a bite of bread unconsciously, blinked, and then said casually, "I remember Aurora was still on the table yesterday before I passed out..."

"You mean Aurora... After you passed out drunk last night, we decided not to drink anymore, and after packing up, I took her home..."

"That's it..."

Hu Teng nodded, took another bite of the toast in her mouth, and with her accumulated confusion resolved, her appetite immediately improved as well.

After this incident, it seems I really did have a wrong impression of Aurora...

The other person was indeed a very kind girl.

The little wildcat thought of Radiant, who was lying in the guest room, sleeping soundly without any worries, and sighed softly.

The Royal Navy's ship girls... do seem much easier to get along with.

The competitive pressure is much less than that on the Ironblood side, regardless of the aspect.

She'd been with the Royal Family for a while now, and her biggest rival turned out to be her own comrade from the Iron Blood faction who had rushed over upon hearing the news...

This is really... I don't know what to say.

If it weren't for her own sense of belonging to the Iron Blood faction, even she herself felt that keeping Xu Huan in the Royal Family forever would have been the best option.

After asking his question, Hu Teng remained silent and obediently stayed to the side. Xu Huan, who was standing next to him, felt a little strange, but did not think much of it.

The porridge in front of me seemed a bit bland compared to last night's meal, but after a heavy meal and a hangover, something light was more suitable.

He didn't lie to Hutten; he did indeed take Aurora home last night.

However, there's one more thing I haven't mentioned: he only got home this morning.

If Hu Teng and Guang Hui weren't so drunk that they didn't wake up until almost noon, they should have been able to catch him coming back from outside.

If I try to explain myself later, it won't be so easy to get away with it.

The two stayed in the kitchen, while Guanghui in the guest room slowly woke up.

Unlike Hu Teng, she didn't think too much. After realizing that she was in Xu Huan's house, she stretched lazily, and the heavy armor on her chest was stretched so much that it was about to burst.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Guanghui slowly walked into the living room, and after seeing the two people in the kitchen, he went straight in as well.

Good morning, Xu Huan, Miss Hu Teng...

Then, she grabbed the young man who was cooking and hugged him around the waist, pressing her chest against his back and revealing her thick, snow-white breasts.

What's for breakfast this morning?

Looking at the scene before her, Hu Teng silently retracted her earlier thought.

While the Royal Navy's ship girls are indeed much easier to get along with, their figures...

Some of them are just too outstanding.

Aside from Elizabeth, Warspite, and a few other ship girls of smaller class, they are all generally open-minded and honest...

Chapter 176 Xu Huan's Grand Military Review

After comforting the two women's stomachs, Xu Huan returned to his office in the port area.

With the departure date for Ironblood approaching, it's a good time to finish up any remaining issues on the Royal side, so as not to leave Warspite with too much of a burden later on his solo journey.

However, while handling matters, Xu Huan noticed that Warspite seemed hesitant, so he understood that the other party probably had something to say to him, but was reluctant to say it out of consideration for his feelings.

In this situation, Xu Huan would naturally speak first.

"Warweary... You've looked this way at least a dozen times today. Is there something you want to say?"

"Uh... well, there are some."

War-weary was hesitating about how to bring it up with Xu Huan when he took the initiative, which relieved her.

"Recent data from the mind monitoring equipment shows that the mental activity of the sirens in the sea has increased rapidly again..."

The document was handed to the table. Xu Huan opened it and glanced at it briefly. He nodded hesitantly and said, "Hmm... this speed seems to be a little faster than we estimated."

“Yes…” Warspite continued, “If it’s like this in the waters under the Royal Navy’s jurisdiction, then managing the situation outside those waters will likely be much more troublesome than before.”

"So yesterday Belfast and I discussed it, and to ensure your safety, Commander, wouldn't it be better to send more Royal Navy ship girls with you to the Ironblood side?"

"Um...."

Upon hearing this, Xu Huan looked at Belfast, who was standing by waiting: "Warspite...did you really say that to you yesterday?"

"Commander, why don't you trust me yet?!"

Upon seeing this, the war-weary man immediately expressed his dissatisfaction with great 'anger'.

"Yes... Master, and Belfast agrees with Warspite's thoughts. In any case, your safety is the most important thing..."

"You two..." Xu Huan suppressed a laugh, clapped his hands, and asked, "Among those going to Ironblood with me, there will be at least three legendary-level naval combatants: Huttenhindenburg, Frederick..."

"I'm just going to Ironblood, not to some dangerous place like the Siren Fortress in the Abyss Sea to settle scores with the Sirens. Can't three legendary figures at sea guarantee my safety?"

When Xu Huan said this, he had a half-smile on his face, which made Yan Zhan, who was standing next to him, feel a little guilty and blush.

"Alright... Master, please don't say anything more..."

Belfast covered her mouth and said to Warspite, "The excuse I came up with in one night definitely won't work. I knew Master wasn't that easy to fool..."

"I didn't think that much about it..."

The war-weary man, exposed, showed no shame or anger. He simply sighed and buried his head back into the pile of documents.

She hesitated at first because this reason was too easy to expose, and now the situation is exactly what she expected.

Belfast shook her head slightly, her blue-purple eyes, like autumn water, looked at the young man, and slowly said, "Actually... Master, if you go to Ironblood, it would be best to bring a few more Royal Navy ship girls with you."

"Oh?"

Belfast continued to explain, "The situation on the Ironblood side is not the same as that on the Royal side. If there is anything we need to help with, it is more reliable to bring companions from the Royal side."

"I know that Miss Hu Teng and the others have a very good relationship with you, but it's not really appropriate for Ironblood ship girls to do some things."

"Now that you mention it... I feel like there's some truth to it."

Xu Huan was also somewhat tempted after hearing what Belfast said.
