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

Page 161

Although the ship equipment protects the ship girl's body, the ship girl will also feel the corresponding pain. In fact, when the ship equipment suffers too much damage, the body will also be injured along with it.

Elbin seems to be in good health now, so it's most likely that the mechanical dragon took the fall.

"...Does it hurt a lot?"

"It hurts."

Elbin nodded subconsciously, but then immediately shook his head.

"I...it doesn't hurt, Commander."

"Pain is normal... there's nothing wrong with admitting it... or rather, if it didn't hurt at this moment, that would be a bigger problem..."

Xu Huan, with a gentle smile on his face, slowly said:

"I'm afraid of pain too... I'm even more afraid of pain than you..."

After the young man finished speaking, Z23, who had been silently watching from the side, seemed to have thought of something and suddenly chimed in quietly:

"Um, Elbin... I'm also afraid of pain."

"...?"

The girl's words transformed the previously warm yet tense atmosphere into one filled with joy.

Not only Xu Huan couldn't help but laugh, but even Elbin showed a rare faint smile.

Their imitative manner made me feel much more relaxed.

Xu Huan gently patted Z23 on the shoulder as a sign of commendation.

The girl was a little confused. Judging from their reactions, had she said something interesting?

Although she meant to comfort Elbin, and only followed immediately after hearing what the commander said, she was indeed afraid of pain.

"Alright... let's make her feel a little better first, shall we?"

Xu Huan gently patted the mechanical dragon's body again, and just as he was about to place his hand near its injured area, Z23 saw this and asked with some concern:

"Commander... are we really not going to wait for Miss Zibuli to arrive? And the medical team, Manjuu, is on their way..."

It's not that Z23 looks down on Xu Huan, it's just that the ship girl's equipment is injured. Even Zi Buli will be busy for a while. As a human, what solutions would the commander have?

The girl simply couldn't understand it.

Even if Xu Huan was once the most outstanding mechanic in human history before becoming a commander, he would probably still be at a loss when it comes to the ship equipment of ship girls.

But Miss Zibuli had complete faith in the Commander...

It's worth noting that although the Buri people may seem a bit eccentric, they are extremely meticulous when it comes to important matters.

Otherwise, Bismarck wouldn't have felt comfortable entrusting the Ironblood research lab directly to Zibris for management.

"As for Purple Brie... that's unnecessary... As for Medical Barbarians..."

Xu Huan shook his head decisively: "They can't handle this type of work anyway. We only called them over to take care of Elbin afterwards..."

The young man looked at the mechanical dragon's wound and his nose twitched slightly.

He could even smell the lingering gunpowder, and... that uniquely mechanical 'bloody' smell.

During his time with the Human Alliance, he had also had considerable experience fighting against mechanical beings...

He was very familiar with this situation.

Although it was the first time Xu Huan had used his skill on an injured ship girl, he was very confident.

His intuition told him that this treatment would go very smoothly.

The mental energy within the body gradually began to be mobilized, and faint blue lights began to flicker in the room.

Z23 slowly opened its eyes, and even Elbin, who was sitting on the bed, raised his eyes slightly and looked at the blue light in the air.

'This is... the Commander?'

This was the first time the two ship girls had directly experienced the mental energy within Xu Huan.

Chapter 223 You'll Be My Secretary Ship

The aura of mental energy emanating from Xu Huan's body, reaching deep into his soul, gradually spread throughout the room.

The moment they sensed it, their mental energies resonated and began to become active.

'Commander... are you planning to heal directly using resonance ability?'

Z23 slowly suppressed his restless emotions, watching the young man's actions and thinking to himself.

Based on my current knowledge, although the Commander's abilities can directly amplify the ship girls' mental energy, it seems... they don't have a healing function, right?

Z23 was somewhat puzzled, and Elbin shared the same thought.

However, at this moment, she had a slight feeling that it wouldn't matter if she was worn out.

After all, they had already sensed... the mental energy emanating from the commander.

As long as I have this aura... this feeling, it doesn't matter if I'm abandoned later...

It was bound to happen sooner or later anyway, and in a way, I'm lucky to have this feeling I've never had before before...

I'll eat my last meal, and I'll even enjoy it.

The two ship girls each had their own thoughts, and then the next second, the young man made a move that exceeded their expectations.

A warm blue light began to shimmer in Xu Huan's hand, and a power capable of comforting the mind and body began to bloom in the room.

In just a moment, countless warm currents formed by mental energy began to seep into the bodies of the two ship girls, bringing them mental comfort.

Meanwhile, Elbin's ship equipment, the battered mechanical dragon, began to heal at a visible speed, gradually transforming into its complete form.

With its smooth, shiny body restored, the mechanical dragon closed its eyes comfortably.

Wide-area ship maintenance

The medical skills from the Royal Perseus constellation are among the best in the entire faction, and now they are appearing in the young man's hands.

"The results seem to be much better than I expected..."

Xu Huan gently stroked the mechanical dragon's body again, looking at the body that he had repaired to a perfect state with his skills, and nodded in satisfaction.

Elbin stared blankly at the young man with his heterochromatic eyes, unsure of what to say.

The damage to his ship's equipment and the traces of defeat he had left behind when fighting the Sirens on the high seas were completely wiped away by the young man in front of him in an instant.

Z23, standing to the side, was already astonished by the abilities Xu Huan had just displayed, and remained rooted to the spot for a long time, unable to recover.

At this moment, she finally understood the real reason why Zibuli had handed the injured Elbin directly over to Xu Huan.

Commander... has the ability to heal ship girls.

The pale blue light gave her a sense of déjà vu, but she couldn't recall where she had seen it before, so she had no choice but to let it go.

The girl was filled with barely suppressed excitement.

Iron-Blooded Ship Girl, what do your companions need and lack most at this moment?

It's the ability to quickly heal ship girls.

Now, Xu Huan's arrival has perfectly filled this void.

Although she didn't know how the young man had done it, these were no longer issues to concern her, given the current situation.

“Um… Commander…”

Z23 swallowed hard, and her calm mind allowed her to start thinking again.

Although it was shocking, there is still one thing that needs to be confirmed.

"I know what you want to ask..."

Xu Huan smiled and nodded easily: "The ability to heal ship girls isn't a heavy burden for me. As long as I rest and recover properly, I can use it indefinitely..."

"And so far, the results seem quite good..."

He looked at Elbin and asked softly with concern, "Are you feeling any discomfort?"

Xu Huan was somewhat worried.

Although they have received assurances and confirmation from Kimblee and Perseus, it is, after all, a skill from the Royal Navy, and it is unknown whether the Ironblood ship girls can adapt to it.

"No...it's very comfortable, Commander."

Encouraged by Xu Huan's mental energy, Elbin also became much more 'proactive' than before.

She looked up, a bright light flashing in her heterochromatic eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

The ship girl gently placed her hand on her chest, shook her head, and murmured softly:

"But... isn't it a waste to use all this on someone as useless as me?"

"What are you thinking about..."

With a somewhat helpless sigh, Xu Huan subconsciously wanted to rub the head of the ship girl in front of him, but his outstretched hand was only halfway there before he turned around and went towards the head of the mechanical dragon next to him.

Elbin appeared too vulnerable, unaware of the consequences of his sudden actions.

To be on the safe side, Xu Huan decided to start by attacking the ship girls' equipment.
