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

"The royal head maid...Miss Belfast?"

"Yes, you should have met a few times in the last couple of days..."

Because Xu Huan plans to move into the infirmary permanently, Belfast has been busy helping to set up the infirmary these past few days. The two of them should have met a few times, but they only nodded and greeted each other briefly without any real communication.

"Miss Belfast...is very amazing..."

Elbin recalled hiding in a corner at the time, watching the ship girl who was poised and elegant, able to talk eloquently with the commander, and possessing a unique temperament of her own.

Although it's somewhat unlikely, I wish I could be like her... no, I'd be content if I were even half as capable.

"Belfast also mastered these skills through a long period of training and practice... Elbin, you could give it a try too..."

Elbin didn't reply this time, but simply nodded silently, then focused his attention back on the form in front of him.

Seeing this, the young man returned to his seat and was about to pick up his storybook to pass the time when an unexpected guest arrived at the door.

"squeak--"

The door to the infirmary was gently pushed open, and Hindenburg, tall and voluptuous like a ripe peach, strode in.

The succubus's crimson eyes first circled the infirmary with great curiosity, and finally settled on Xu Huan, who was sitting at the table, and Elbin, who was sitting next to him.

Elbin nodded as a greeting, then immediately and subtly increased the distance between them.

"Oh? What are you doing in the infirmary? Are you injured too?"

Upon seeing the visitor, Xu Huan joked.

"Those swarms of sirens can't hurt me yet..."

Hindenburg moved gracefully, her alluring fragrance wafting as she slowly approached the young man. She glanced at Elbin beside her and asked, "Elbin... I heard he's your new secretary ship?"

"Um...what's wrong?"

Xu Huan nodded, and the succubus added, "That child is quite introverted... it would be good if he could train under your tutelage..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hindenburg abruptly changed his tone.

"but...."

She lowered her head, her rosy tongue lightly swirling around her lips: "If you need a secretary ship, you can consider me next time, okay? I'm quite capable... 'industrious'~~"

In front of Elbin, the succubus's direct words almost made Xu Huan lose his composure. He quickly shook his head slightly, "Don't joke like that, there are other people here... Besides, if you were the secretary ship, you probably wouldn't have to do any work..."

"That's right... no more work..."

Hindenburg gave a knowing, ambiguous smile.

"Alright... let's get down to business. What brings you here today?"

"It's nothing... I just happened to be passing by and wanted to see you..." Hindenburg bit his lip and said in a pitiful tone, "Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong?"

"..."

Xu Huan was speechless.

Ever since Hindenburg crossed that last membrane on the ship, this ruthless succubus has become increasingly unrestrained in her daily behavior.

If Elbin hadn't been in the infirmary, he probably would have been executed on the spot by now.

"If you want to know the reason... it's actually quite simple..." Hindenburg glanced at Elbin in the distance, and after realizing that the other's attention wasn't on them, he simply sat down on the young man's lap.

"I just miss you a little... Contractor..."

Then, while Xu Huan was thinking about what to say in response, Hindenburg smiled slightly, grabbed the young man's head, and buried it in his chest.

The large, warm water ball instantly blocked my entire field of vision, and my nose was filled with a pleasant body fragrance.

If one had to describe Hindenburg's breastplate in a single word, it would be "great"...

Like a large watermelon in the height of summer.

This perfectly fits the succubus's identity.

"Contractor...."

Hindenburg seemed somewhat tempted, panting slightly as he whispered, "After things stabilize in a few days, you must come visit my house..."

"I've taken the initiative to reach out to you, so it's only fair to reciprocate...it's a good habit~"

Xu Huan and Hindenburg's subtle actions here naturally did not escape the notice of Elbin, who was also under the same roof.

She seemed to be fully focused on the task at hand, but her ears and eyes kept glancing in the direction of Xu Huan and the other person.

When she saw Hindenburg sitting directly on the young man's lap, her face flushed slightly, and she subconsciously took several steps away from the two of them.

That's actually quite scary...

Elbin looked at Xu Huan, who was pinned to a chair by Hindenburg and seemed unable to move, and thought to himself.

Even someone as capable as the commander was bullied by Hindenburg... without even the ability to fight back.

But that makes sense... The commander is just a human; even with the ability to heal ship girls, how could he possibly stand against a legendary naval force renowned for its superior strength and combat prowess...?

I don't quite understand this way of bullying people. Why use this posture?

As he pondered this, Elbin suddenly realized a problem.

As the secretary ship of the commander, shouldn't I stand up and stop Hindenburg's bullying behavior?

As the secretary ship...wouldn't it be too much to stand idly by when the commander is in trouble?

However, compared to Hindenburg's strength, the gap is simply too vast. Even if they try their best to stop them, it's unlikely they can change anything...

After all, she's just so useless... so she might as well just stay quietly to the side. Hindenburg is a ship girl after all, she won't do anything too outrageous to the commander.

Just as Elbin was about to give up on the idea of ​​'rescuing' Xu Huan, a few muffled groans suddenly came from the young man in the distance.

Although it was very faint, muffled as if something was blocking it, it was still heard by Elbin, who was concentrating on finding out what was going on.

She turned her gaze again and found that Hindenburg, who had been sitting on the young man, had changed his posture. He was now almost riding on top of the commander, with his entire body weight on the young man. The muffled groan that Xu Huan had almost suffocated earlier was most likely caused by Hindenburg's escalating bullying.

Elbin paused for a moment, listening to Xu Huan's soft voice, and then gently bit his lip with his pearly white teeth.

She suddenly became a little angry.

Regardless of the circumstances... this is really going too far...

Even if Hindenburg is a maritime legend, treating the commander like this is unacceptable... It's already gone too far...

The ship girl recalled how, not long ago, Xu Huan had patiently and gently guided her through the parts she was confused about, showing no disdain for her lack of understanding...

The person who taught her these skills is being treated like this by the other ship girls...

No matter how useless I am... I can't just stand by and watch... I have to find a way to do something.

Elbin put down the documents in his hand, gently rubbing his fingers together. After hesitating for a long time, he finally mustered up the courage to walk towards the two of them.

I've thought it through... I'll just use official business as an excuse to bother you a little, that way no matter what, the problem won't fall on me.

In a little while... I'll have to pretend, act like I don't know anything.

If I've already taken the initiative to bother him, and Hindenburg still continues like that... then I'll... then I'll—

It seems there's really no other way...

Well, as long as it's used until it breaks, then it'll have served its purpose, right?

The ship girl slowly walked to the two of them. Just as she was about to use official business as an excuse to remind Hindenburg, she was slightly taken aback by what she saw.

Things... seem a little different from what I imagined?

While it's true that Hindenburg was 'bullying' the commander, why... why does Hindenburg seem a little different?

And why was the commander's head buried directly inside...?

Hindenburg, standing before Elbin, had an unnatural flush on his face, and pink hearts were jumping around in his red eyes. He was breathing heavily, and even the white skin on his chest was rippling rhythmically with his rapid breathing.

She sat cross-legged on the young man's lap, her voluptuous waist swaying slightly involuntarily.

It feels a bit like... that legendary kind of thing... the romance between a commander and a ship girl...

Could it be that what I'm seeing—the ship girls 'bullying' the commander—is just another way of expressing affection?

Elbin swallowed hard, hesitating whether to continue his previous idea and try to dissuade him, while Hindenburg gradually came to his senses.

Their eyes met, Hindenburg smiled slightly, and then sat up a little straighter, allowing Xu Huan to regain some fresh air from the gentle embrace.

Although she is a succubus, having a relationship with the commander in front of comrades with whom she is not very close is still somewhat inappropriate...

"Contractor...it seems your little secretary ship was attracted by your voice..."

"It's all because you almost suffocated someone..." Xu Huan caught his breath, then let Hindenburg climb off him.

Hindenburg...could you please be more mindful of your appearance when other people are around?

“But… sometimes it’s really hard to resist…” The succubus blinked, not ashamed of it.

“Commander… and Hindenburg… seem to have a pretty good relationship…” Elbin said, watching the two flirting.

At this moment, even she, who was slow to realize, understood that the relationship between the two people in front of her was much closer than she had imagined.

So-called bullying may just be a way of expressing a relationship or even flirting.
