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

Page 175

Once a thought arises, it's like a boulder falling from a high mountain; once it starts, it can never be stopped.

Even though Belfast felt that this behavior was extremely impolite, a strong sense of crisis and curiosity deep inside her kept driving her toward the source of the sound.

Just one look? Just one look, please...

As a master's personal maid, it's often necessary for her to know her master's situation...

Chapter 242 It's a Little Cold

With this mindset in mind, Belfast slowly walked towards her destination.

It was easy to tell from the volume of her voice that Xu Huan was not far away from her.

The ship girl walked on, her body gradually moving closer to the eaves of a nearby house.

Under the moonlight, the shadow cast by the eaves wasn't large, but it was just enough to completely cover her figure in darkness.

Although Belfast kept convincing herself that her actions were justified, she still didn't want Xu Huan to find out.

After all, peeping is a significant dark chapter in the history of a royal head maid who is usually almost perfect.

The young man's voice grew louder as he got closer, accompanied by another, rather cool female voice.

Based on what Z23 said before, the owner of that female voice is most likely Hu Teng...

Finally, with a mix of trepidation and excitement, Belfast arrived at a villa that looked no different from the other buildings.

In the villa's small garden, two figures were sitting at a table and chairs, with some food on the table in front of them, and they seemed to be eating and chatting.

Belfast stopped in her tracks.

She recognized one of them at a glance; he was the one she was looking for, Xu Huan.

The young man was chatting and laughing, occasionally taking a bite of his dinner, looking very relaxed and natural.

"This is wonderful... Master."

Belfast took a slight breath, but felt a lump in her throat.

Even though she saw her master's happy side, for some reason she felt a pang of sadness in her heart, as if something was blocking her chest.

As a maid, she'd probably be happy, but if you add the identity of a ship girl to that...

Belfast placed her hand on her chest and unconsciously pressed down gently.

The last time, back when she was still at the Royal Palace, Belfast felt the same bitterness when she was preparing to deliver a meal to Xu Huan, only to find that Aurora had gotten there first.

However, this time the feeling was more intense than before.

Why?

Belfast wasn't entirely sure, but she knew that her relationship with the young man had become much closer than before.

The more you get, the more you want to pursue more.

At first, when she had just confirmed the young man's identity and hadn't spent much time with him, she felt that making him happy every day was enough for her to fulfill her duty as a maid.

Seeing the smile on Xu Huan's face makes me happy too.

Even now, seeing the young man getting along well with the other ship girls, Belfast has realized the change she was pursuing—

I don't just want to see Xu Huan's smile, I also want to see the smile that he shows because of me.

I hope my owner is happy, but I hope even more that my owner is happy because of me.

However, saying it like that feels a bit selfish... and it fundamentally conflicts with the etiquette that the head maid should follow.

The ship girl shook her head, stopping the chaotic thoughts in her mind.

She turned her head and looked at another ship girl in the garden.

".....well?"

It was still Miss Hu Teng, but she looked completely different from the Hu Teng I usually saw and knew.

"Is this... a maid outfit?"

Belfast's eyes scanned Hutten several times before finally confirming her suspicions.

It's a maid outfit, but it differs significantly from traditional maid attire.

It's more like an outfit specifically designed for cosplay, and it's considerably more revealing and sexy than the one I'm wearing.

Although she didn't particularly want to admit it, Belfast also felt that this outfit suited Hu Teng's temperament better.

But... why did Miss Hu Teng suddenly change into a maid outfit? And at a time like this...?

Belfast was a little confused.

She remembered that her owner did not have a penchant for special uniforms.

You should know that she had specifically asked Xu Huan about the uniform issue before, and the answer she received was very clear.

Since it wasn't requested by the owner, then Miss Hu Teng probably wore it voluntarily...

As Belfast was pondering this, as if to verify her inner thoughts, the faint sound of "Master" could be heard in the distance.

The ship girl paused slightly, then looked back at the two people in the courtyard.

The young man was suppressing a laugh, while Hu Teng seemed dissatisfied with his shout, so he coughed lightly with his small fist in front of his lips, preparing to try again.

Miss Hu Teng...does she also address the master as such?

Belfast felt a slight jolt in her heart.

If seeing your owner looking relaxed and carefree before made you feel sad, now it has turned into a conscious sense of urgency.

It was as if something important was about to be taken away.

Although Belfast knew that Hu Teng was probably just calling her that because she was wearing a maid outfit and wanted to fit the character, she still couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.

That feeling comes from the subconscious.

She could almost see Hu Teng dressed as a maid, standing smiling beside Xu Huan one day in the future.

That position, which should have belonged to the Royal Maids, or rather... her own, would be taken by someone else.

Thinking of this, Belfast shook her head somewhat absentmindedly.

The head maid, who usually appears to be perfect, reveals her vulnerable side at this moment.

No... we can't let this situation continue to develop slowly any longer...

Simply taking the initiative isn't enough; we need to be more aggressive...

Their master was deep within the Ironblood stronghold, surrounded by hungry wolves, just as the Ironblood had historically used wolf pack tactics against the Royals...

Belfast preferred the more natural, gradual development of their relationship and knew that Xu Huan would eventually cross that final line with her.

But after tonight, she truly understood a simple truth.

Only a ring worn on the hand is a truly useful ring, and the same applies to its owner...

She exhaled a long breath, and Belfast's eyes regained their resolve.

As the head maid of the Royal Navy... she's not the fragile ship girl type...

Moreover, this wasn't the first time something like this had happened to her.

Belfast glanced deeply at the two people still eating in the distance, then disappeared back into the darkness.

Not far away, Xu Huan had just put a piece of meat in his mouth when he seemed to realize something. A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes as he glanced at the shadows of the houses in the distance.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, it's just...a little cold..."

Chapter 243 The Second Injured Ship Girl

Silent all night.

Xu Huan slowly opened his eyes at dawn.

The ship girl's even breaths continued to pat my ears, making me feel a little itchy, while my nasal cavity was filled with a mixture of her body fragrance and other indescribable, alluring scents.

The young man turned his head and looked at Hu Teng, who was resting her head on his shoulder. The body that had been empty in his arms for a long time was now filled with a slender and shapely figure.

At this moment, the ship girl's eyes were lightly closed, and her breathing was even. The air that had been patting her earlobes earlier came from her pert and delicate nose.

It seems like they exercised until midnight before finally resting...

Looking at the little wildcat in his arms and recalling the events of last night, the young man subconsciously shifted his body, but a slight pain immediately traveled from every part of his body to his brain.

"hiss--"

Subconsciously frowning, Xu Huan glanced up at his other shoulder and chest, only to find that there were several teeth marks and scratches on his body.

The owner of the teeth marks and scratches was undoubtedly Hu Teng, who was sleeping peacefully at the moment.

A little wildcat is indeed a little wildcat... When she's at her most excited or emotionally intense during exercise, her hands and teeth will always subconsciously find a spot on the young man's body to gnaw and scratch.

Fortunately, the battle-hardened young man was tough enough to withstand the ship girls' playful attacks.

Gently rubbing the area where he had been bitten, Xu Huan had just moved his half-arm away and was about to get out of bed when Hu Teng beside him gently opened his eyes.
