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

Page 137

Although he had said it many times in the past few days, Xu Huan was still prepared to persuade the ship girl again with earnest words.

Shortly after he opened his mouth, a plate landed heavily next to him.

"boom--"

The voice was loud, and it was clear that the owner of the voice was intentionally trying to interrupt the conversation between the two.

Xu Huan frowned, looked up as if to say something, but found that the person who came was the monarch with a cold expression.

His furrowed brows relaxed instantly, and when he saw the other person's cold expression as they looked at Yuan Chou, he realized something as well.

To be honest, he's not good at dealing with ship girls like the one with grudges.

After all, top-tier people respond better to gentle persuasion than force.

But with a monarch present, things become much smoother.

"monarch...."

"Xu Huan...I'll sit next to you."

The monarch's icy gaze swept across the resentful face, before softening as he looked at the young man.

"I didn't arrive early, but I happened to overhear Miss Yuanchou's request just now..."

The monarch spoke, then sat down beside the young man:

"To prevent the commander from being maliciously deceived by certain individuals... I feel it's necessary for me to offer some reminders."

Chapter 189 Conditions

"Why do I feel like Miss Monarch has a lot of misunderstandings about me?" Yuan Chou maintained his alluring smile, then his ambiguous gaze swept back and forth between the two of them.

"Or is it... simply to protect her... husband?"

Considering that Xu Huan had been staying at the monarch's house for the past few days, and combined with the monarch's current hostile actions and behavior towards her, she became increasingly certain that something must have happened between the two of them.

"Protecting the commander from being deceived is a ship girl's basic responsibility..." The monarch's tone became somewhat unnatural after being told this by the enemy.

Although that was indeed the case, it still made her feel a little uncomfortable with it being pointed out so bluntly.

She hadn't been in the cafeteria for long, and was slightly surprised to see Xu Huan. She had originally planned to come over right after getting her food, but she didn't expect Yuan Chou to beat her to it.

It goes without saying that his resentful personality and style of doing things can easily create a sense of crisis for others.

The sense of crisis that she felt about losing the person she loved to someone else was just like the fate of her prototype ship in history. So, in a moment of impulsiveness, she rushed forward without thinking.

After hearing Yuan Chou's so-called advice on the way, she also became somewhat impatient.

No matter what the grudge says, you must keep an eye on the other party.

"Does that mean Miss Monarch doesn't object to the idea of ​​protecting her husband?"

Yuan Chou looked at Xu Huan with a smile as she spoke: "I didn't expect... the commander is quite charming. He can even melt the iceberg-like beauty, Miss Monarch."

"Tsk...you—"

The monarch was not particularly good at this kind of speech, especially when compared to a succubus like resentment, which could bewitch people's hearts, he seemed even more tongue-tied.

Normally, a monarch wouldn't take being teased like this to heart, and even if he did, he would at most resort to physical solutions.

However, the other party's words have dragged Xu Huan into the mess as well, so this place isn't a good place to make a move.

The ship girl snorted twice, and just as she was about to speak again, Xu Huan gently pressed down on the back of her hand, which was already gripping her hand slightly.

The warmth from the back of his hand instantly relaxed the monarch. After silently savoring the sensation for a moment, he opened his own hands and clasped the young man's hands in return.

A slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his icy expression instantly softened considerably.

"The topic has veered a bit off... grudges."

Xu Huan gently scratched the monarch's palm to signal him to relax, then picked up his knife and fork again, looked at Yuan Chou with a smile, and replied, "Shall we continue our conversation about what happened earlier?"

"Of course...you can say, like you would a monarch, that my act of changing the subject is to protect my wife, and I don't deny it..."

"I'm just protecting my wife."

The monarch's expression froze for a moment, and then his usually cold and aloof demeanor instantly melted into the gentle warmth of spring water after an iceberg had thawed.

She turned her head to one side, somewhat bewildered, a slight blush creeping onto her face.

To be honest... Xu Huan's bluntness made her happy but also a little embarrassed.

The same words, spoken by a young man and spoken by someone filled with resentment, give completely different impressions.

"what....."

Yuan Chou hadn't expected Xu Huan to support the monarch in such a direct way. A hint of surprise flashed across her alluring face, but she quickly regained her composure.

"Now I understand how the Commander got Lady Monarch to open up..."

Yuanchou shook his head and sighed, "If one day the Commander were to protect me like this, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to withstand the Lord's test..."

Seeing the ship girl's 'worried' appearance, Xu Huan secretly grumbled to himself.

'You drugged me, and you're still talking about these trivial things.'

"Alright, let's stop with this nonsense..." He tapped the table lightly with his index finger, steer the conversation back to where it left off.

This time, the monarch did not interrupt again, but began to devour the food that had been served to him.

However, judging from her somewhat absent-minded expression, it was clear that her attention was probably not on the food, but rather on Xu Huan and Yuan Chou's conversation.

"I've said before, it's better for you to stay in the port... I acknowledge your fighting ability, but that also means your departure will significantly weaken the Royal Navy Headquarters' fighting strength..."

"If I remember correctly, you should be... the only legendary-level aircraft carrier in the Royal Navy?"

"There's nothing to worry about, Commander..."

Was Yuan Chou still wearing that ambiguous smile? He replied, "Three legendary figures from the Iron Blood faction arrived at once, but no one questions the security of Iron Blood headquarters..."

"Because as long as Bismarck is still in the Ironblood, the Ironblood's combat power will be guaranteed accordingly. Our Royal Navy is similar. As long as His Majesty is still in the Royal Navy, the Royal Navy will not face any security threats."

"Oh?"

“That… what Yuanqiu said is right.” The monarch, who had been listening nearby, stepped forward to explain to Xu Huan, “Although I’m reluctant to admit it, faction-based bonus skills are the biggest guarantee of a faction’s overall performance…”

"The monarch is indeed fair~~"

"It was just to help Xu Huan clear up his doubts..."

“I understand what you mean…” Xu Huan nodded, but still didn’t budge: “But that’s not enough reason for you to insist on going to Ironblood with me, is it?”

"I actually have another reason... a reason why the commander had no choice but to agree to my request..."

"You said."

"This is a little secret... so—"

Yuan Chou suddenly stood up, took a step to Xu Huan's side, and gently bowed his head, listening attentively.

Her white, smooth breasts drooped like plump, juicy fruits due to gravity, a sight that was almost suffocating.

But at this moment, Xu Huan's attention was completely drawn to the so-called little secret of the enemy.

Earlier today... Hindenburg contacted me.

Her moist breath pattered against my earlobe, carrying an alluring fragrance. Her voice, deliberately lowered and slightly magnetic, said, "She said... she wanted to borrow some of that little drink from before..."

Hindenburg? It's no surprise she'd do something like that...

"Besides, the Commander probably doesn't have a way to deal with Hindenburg's special abilities, right?" Resentment continued, "If you don't want to be held back by the Sangvis Ferri, take me with you."

"I have a way to deal with Hindenburg!"

Xu Huan fell silent.

Chapter 190 Northern Alliance

To be honest, from any perspective, the offer from the grudge is very tempting.

While her strength was a given, what truly interested Xu Huan was her ability to provide a method to counter Hindenburg.

You see, ever since he inexplicably suffered a setback at Hindenburg's hands last time, he still hasn't found a solution.

As for the little drink of resentment, his own potion could play a big role; he just needed to take an injection before drinking it. However, under the influence of Hindenburg's ability, he could even completely forget about the potion.

If I don't have a good countermeasure against Ironblood, it might really become a hindrance to my actions, just as Yuanchou said.

While it's not always the case that you'll suffer a loss in this situation, if it happens at a crucial moment, it can easily disrupt plans in all aspects.

Especially when you're on someone else's turf, in an unfamiliar environment.

Xu Huan's silence, in a sense, also showed that he was somewhat tempted by Yuan Qiu's proposal, and this reaction was naturally noticed by Yuan Qiu and the monarch.

Yuanchou was very confident in his own abilities.

Especially after Hindenburg came to pick up a small drink this morning, the already generous terms I had were increased once again.

The monarch's inner thoughts were somewhat complicated.

On the one hand, for her own personal reasons, she did not want this seemingly dangerous enemy to go to the Iron Blood Sect with Xu Huan.

If the two of them go together, it's no different from throwing a meat bun to a dog.
