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

Watching the master and servant trying to shift the blame, Frederick couldn't help but speak up: "This isn't a big deal, there's no need for this... We're not at the Ironblood level yet, are we? It's not too late to inform them now—"

But no sooner had he spoken than the radar instrument in front of him began to emit new sounds.

"Didi dididi——"

"Oh?"

Friedrich looked at the newly appearing energy dots flashing on the radar and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"What's wrong, sir? Is there a new Siren?"

The sudden sound of the radar broke the relaxed atmosphere in the room. Xu Huan subconsciously sat up straight and his expression became more serious.

He had heard similar voices before, and had encountered some unpleasant things at the time, which made him subconsciously develop some PTSD.

“Miss Hutten should be in charge of patrolling now... Should we send her over to handle this?” Belfast’s expression also became visibly serious.

"No need, we...we've been quite lucky, child."

Frederick slowly shook his head and explained, "This time, the radar didn't detect Sirens..."

"In the words of the Eastern Huang, it should be called 'Speak of the devil, and he appears,' right?"

"OK?"

Xu Huan looked curiously at the radar's instrument panel.

Two green dots were seen rapidly approaching the ship's location from above.

"We must have just run into the Ironblood ship girls on patrol... They probably recognized our mental energy aura too..."

"No need to say anything more, the ship girls from the port are right in front of us, child...would you like to go and take a look?"

"Sure... but may I ask a question out of curiosity?"

"Sure, kid."

"Who are the ship girls from the Ironblood faction who are usually responsible for patrolling this area?"

Chapter 204 Ron and Z23

Xu Huan had his own reasons for asking this question.

As we all know, ship girls have different personalities, each with their own way of dealing with people and things, and some of them are even special in this respect, making them somewhat difficult to get along with.

For example, saying random things that no one can understand...

Under this premise, being able to learn about the newcomer's personality and other aspects in advance through Frederick, who is quite familiar with Ironblood, will give Xu Huan a better understanding of the situation.

Unfortunately, Frederick looked at the two small green dots above, which indicated friendly forces, and shook his head decisively.

"The mission plans in the port area are basically changed every now and then, and these kinds of things are usually handled by Bismarck and her sister. I don't get involved, kid..."

“I know what you’re worried about, son, but strictly speaking, none of it is really necessary…” Frederick said the words that Hutten had mentioned to him many times before.

"After all, child, your own strength is strong enough, so you don't need to worry about many minor details... I'm not too sure about the Royal Family, but in the Iron Blood, strong strength is the most unshakable foundation."

As long as you have enough strength, you can win the treatment you deserve.

"Is this so..."

Xu Huan looked into Friedrich's dark golden eyes, pondered for a moment, and asked, "But shouldn't the Commander value the spiritual connection with the ship girls more?"

Putting aside other things, the task of providing energy to ship girls is difficult to achieve if there is only superficial agreement between the ship girls and the commander.

“Yes, child…” Frederick smiled gently, “This is another important point… in some ways it is even more important than strength.”

"However... the reason I say this is because some of my more extreme companions sometimes do things that are hard to understand. At these times, only your strength can truly calm them down."

"for example?"

"For example... if someone were to fight with me, whose side would you take, child?" Frederick narrowed his phoenix eyes and asked.

“I will stop this behavior.”

He'd encountered internal strife among his subordinates before, but Xu Huan would do everything in his power to prevent such incidents from happening.

"That's right, the action of stopping it requires strength... Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. You'll know when you meet those people from Sakura Empire later... Hmm, maybe Ironblood will too."

Frederick stood up and said to the young man, "Let's go see which two people have come to the port..."

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

"Judging from the radar's reaction, they're friendly forces, Ron."

The ship girl who was speaking was not tall, and although she looked slender, her figure was surprisingly voluptuous despite being tightly wrapped in her military uniform.

She has light brown shoulder-length short hair, deep blue eyes, a delicate nose, and wears a dark blue beret with a cross hair clip behind her ear. Her overall look is fresh and lovely.

1936A Narvik-class destroyer - Z23.

Of course, she also has another name, Nimi.

It was Nimi who proactively sent a communication to the Royal Family, inviting Xu Huan to go to Ironblood.

"Hmm... with this level of mental energy, and so openly sailing the sea without any concealment, if I'm not mistaken, it must be Frederick and the others, right?"

The ship girl known as Roon has gentle and beautiful features, with kind eyes and brows. Even now, while traveling on the high seas, she still wears a gentle smile.

She wore a black and red military uniform that covered her upper body completely, but her almost perfect curves were still outlined in an alluring way. Beneath the black skirt were her fair, long legs and black boots. Her thighs were plump, and her calves were slightly protruding, both well-proportioned and equally alluring.

Her head was adorned with light pink, ear-length short hair, accented with a touch of red highlights that added a fierce edge to her gentle features.

As a cruiser, Roon is significantly more 'heavy' than Z23 in terms of size and other aspects.

The difference between the ship types was most clearly demonstrated in the two individuals.

“Ah… I guessed so…” Z23 nodded slightly, immediately took out his phone, and opened the port’s log.

After searching carefully for a while without finding the information he wanted, Z23 couldn't help but feel puzzled: "But... why didn't Sister Hu Teng and the others notify us beforehand that they were coming back? I can't find the corresponding backup in the port logs..."

"When have you ever seen any of them be particularly well-behaved? It's quite normal for them to forget to inform the port authorities..."

"It's hard to say about others, but Frederick should have told her on her own initiative. She usually gives instructions. It's strange..."

Z23 frowned, somewhat puzzled. Ron, seeing her serious expression, smiled slightly: "As expected of Z23... she remembers these details perfectly."

After being told that by Ron, Z23 scratched his head and said somewhat embarrassedly, "It's not as amazing as you say... I just remember some of the little habits people have."

"Let's not think about these problems for now. After all, it's quite close. We'll just go over and take a look and ask in person later..."

"Okay..."

The two traveled on the sea, leaving a long trail of rapids that gradually dispersed to both sides.

As mentioned before, the two sides were not far apart, and in less than ten minutes, the outline of a warship appeared in their field of vision.

As they zoomed in a little closer, they saw the familiar ships they had expected, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, the timely return of Frederick and the others is a good thing for Ironblood Harbor.

Especially at this critical time when information about commanders is flying around, it's always a good thing to have a few more capable fighters in the port.

Furthermore, all three of them had returned from the Royal Family, so they could promptly obtain information about the commander.

Z23 stood on tiptoe and waved vigorously at the figure on the deck: "Sister Friedrich!!!"

The sound carried far through the air, and the sailing ship gradually reduced its speed, slightly changed direction, and headed towards the two people.

Chapter 205 Sprint

As the ship drew closer, three figures jumped down from the deck and slid directly toward the two men.

These were the three iron-blooded men.

"Sister Friedrich! Sister Hutten!" Upon seeing the familiar figures, Z23, who had been somewhat excited, immediately straightened up and became much more serious.

Putting everything else aside, Frederick holds a high place in Z23's heart; just being near him makes her unable to help but become serious and earnest.

"Long time no see...Z23....Ron." With his signature gentle smile, Frederick greeted the two of them very kindly.

“Long time no see, you three.” Ron nodded.

Hu Teng didn't say anything, but just nodded coldly to the side as a greeting.

As for the remaining Hindenburg—

"Little Z23... have you forgotten someone?" The succubus pouted, looking at the girl who seemed to have forgotten to greet her.

"Ah! I almost forgot, it's been a long time, Hindenburg!" Z23 stood up straight and saluted Hindenburg.

"That's more like it..."

Hindenburg nodded and crossed his arms in satisfaction.

She and Z23 had a few minor clashes within Ironblood, and their relationship wasn't exactly very good in the strictest sense.

After all, it's inevitable that the serious Z23 and Hindenburg, with their very open and uninhibited nature, will have some clashes in their views and disagreements.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Z23 immediately pulled out her notebook in a very serious manner, scribbling notes as she said, "Sister Friedrich... this is just routine, it's not that I have a problem with you..."

As is customary in Ironblood Harbor, everything that happens during each mission needs to be uploaded to the harbor log so that Bismarck and the others can analyze the situation in the sea.

“I understand. After all, it was our fault for not informing you beforehand…” Frederick smiled.
