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

Page 19

"Ok?"

Xu Huan slowly turned his head to look at the figure in the distance behind him.

Her long, ochre hair was slightly disheveled and scattered over her shoulders and back. Although the military uniform she was wearing covered most of her body, it couldn't hide her voluptuous and alluring figure. Her breasts were high and firm, and the short skirt barely covered her full peaches. Her straight and powerful thighs were clad in black high heels and black stockings, which made slight indentations.

Her exquisite face was naturally beautiful, and her purple eyes, which looked at Xu Huan, were devoid of any emotion. Even her voice sounded undeniably stiff.

“These humanoids have no independent consciousness, so you don’t need to hold back, human... or rather, Commander.”

She slowly approached and explained:

"I'm relatively close to this area, so I came straight here to provide support after receiving the news... Also, I've already dealt with the remaining humanoid sirens. Their combat power has been weakened, which I guess is probably because of you."

"Nice to meet you. I am the Royal Navy battleship, Your Majesty."

Chapter Twenty-Six: His Handwriting

"The monarch... right?"

Seeing that the person coming from behind was also a Royal Navy ship girl, Xu Huan breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves slowly relaxed.

At the same time, he began to realize that the side effects of the reagent were gradually taking effect, causing his perception to gradually weaken. After all, if he were in a state of mental concentration, he would not be so sluggish if a ship girl were close to him.

So he took out a few more crystals and put them in his mouth.

"I've temporarily controlled all the Sirens within a certain range on the other side. You should be able to take care of them, right?"

According to the monarch, the humanoid sirens who could move had been eliminated point-to-point. With the remaining mass-produced sirens basically unable to move, the enemy should be able to defeat them easily.

And as a battleship... its firepower should be sufficient.

"Yes... but there are too many, so it will take some time." The monarch nodded.

Slaughtering a thousand pigs takes time, let alone a fully armed warship.

The ship girl looked at the pale-faced young man in front of her, who was chewing and swallowing stones containing mental energy like candy, and asked a question.

"But are you sure there's nothing wrong with your health?"

“No problem…” Xu Huan shook his head. He had experienced similar situations many times and knew where his limits were. As things stood, he was far from reaching them.

"There's another ship girl named Illustrious over there; she should be recovering right now."

"understood."

The monarch nodded coldly, made no comment, and walked directly toward the controlled Siren fleet.

Seeing the other party's somewhat indifferent attitude, Xu Huan was a little puzzled. Weren't Glorious and Monarch ship girls from the same faction? Why would they treat their comrade like this?

It seems most likely to be a personality issue...

The sound of cannon fire began to ring out in the distance. The Siren ships and fighters, which had been put on pause, were unable to put up any resistance and were gradually shot down by the monarch's powerful firepower.

"It's definitely better to let professionals do what they're good at..."

They have virtually no means of large-scale attack, and even if they do, they are trump cards that cannot be used easily, while the enemy's ship equipment provides ample firepower that can easily achieve large-scale fire coverage.

Xu Huan stood and observed for a while longer, and then realized that the monarch's strength was much stronger than he had imagined. It was clear from the fact that the ship girl in front of him had plenty of combat experience, as she was able to hit the weakest points of the ship with minimal effort without changing her expression.

It's hard to say whether he's stronger or weaker than Hutten, but he's definitely much stronger than Belfast and Little Octopus.

After taking out two crystals and putting them in his mouth, Xu Huan confirmed that there should be no problem with the monarch's side, and then set off again, arriving inside the force field shield where Radiance was located.

After a considerable period of recovery, the ship girl's complexion has improved significantly. It seems that she has used her mental energy, as the stains and dust on her clothes have completely disappeared, making her look brand new. The weakness she felt when she first met her is also gradually fading away.

Sensing someone approaching, the ship girl slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes, as blue as lake water, looked over.

"Greetings, Commander."

Upon seeing that the person who came was Xu Huan, Guanghui immediately stood up, bowed slightly, and the soft, giant armor covering his chest trembled slightly.

"No need for so much formality, the fight isn't over yet. How's your recovery going? Let me check you out?"

Unlike the first time, the situation was no longer critical, and Xu Huan felt it necessary to ask some questions.

"I feel much better."

Although Guanghui answered in this way, she still looked at Xu Huan, gently took off her white gauze gloves, and handed her hand over.

Just as the ship girl said, her condition has indeed recovered a lot. Her wrists have now returned to being as white as the bright moon. Holding her soft hand in your hand, her skin is smooth and boneless, which easily makes people think of other things.

I hadn't noticed before, but she was wearing gloves...

Xu Huan steadied himself and controlled a wisp of mental energy within his body to surge into the other's body once more.

Radiant's complexion suddenly became a little rosier. Now that she had recovered most of her strength, she could clearly feel a warm energy flowing through her body.

It's a little itchy, but it feels very comfortable...

I don't dislike it.

She glanced at Xu Huan, then recalled the moment he had saved her, and a sweet smile crept onto her lips.

The commander is a good fit.

It is very suitable from any perspective.

“Not bad, it has indeed recovered quite a bit…” Xu Huan nodded after the perception ended.

With the help of the crystal, the mental energy in the other party's body has recovered to 60-70% of its peak. If the mental energy boost provided by myself is added, the difference should be negligible.

"Commander, are you alright?" Illustrious asked with some concern.

Although the young man's aura was still terrifying, it was visibly unstable.

"It's alright, just hold on for a while longer... By the way, your faction's reinforcements have arrived. It's a ship girl named Monarch, and she's clearing out the Sirens ahead."

"Miss Monarch, it seems she was indeed patrolling the nearby waters today, but that number of Sirens... Miss Monarch definitely can't handle them alone, it would take at least a squadron of ship girls to deal with them all..."

"There's no need to worry about that. The Sirens have already temporarily lost their ability to resist, and it's only a matter of time before they are completely wiped out. The reinforcements are also on their way and should arrive soon."

Xu Huan popped two more crystals into his mouth: "If possible, I'd also like you to help the monarch; it'll be more efficient. Also, if possible, could you collect some fragments of the Siren armor for me later..."

"Incapacitated? I understand... Commander."

Although he had some doubts about Xu Huan's words, Guanghui readily agreed out of trust in the young man. He lightly stepped on the water and quickly slid towards the direction from which the sound of gunfire came.

It wasn't until she saw a vast array of motionless, densely packed Siren fighters suspended in the air and Siren ships rising and falling silently with the waves that the ship girl realized what Xu Huan meant by "losing the ability to resist."

Illustrious had only seen such a scene before when the Awesome skill was activated, and even then, only ships on the sea were affected.

"Miss Monarch... what is this...?!"

"Don't be too surprised... it's best to clear the target out first." The monarch, who was using the Sirens as targets to practice his aiming and shooting skills, replied without turning his head:

"This was his doing."

Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Thing I Worried About Most

About five or six minutes later, Belfast and the other two in the city arrived at the front line by speedboat.

They didn't have a teleportation ability like Xu Huan, so they arrived a little slower. However, they must have received news from Radiance or the Monarch that the matter had been basically resolved in advance, and their expressions were no longer as tense as before.

Xu Huan's force field shield was quite conspicuous in the sea, and the three of them quickly arrived.

Well, this time Belfast is in the driver's seat. It seems that Huth and Royal Fortune have reached some kind of agreement on driving rights.

The distant roar of artillery and the circling of fighter jets could still be heard, though the scene was much less intense than that of the Sirens. With his ample experience, Hutten immediately recognized the sounds as those of Royal Navy carrier-based aircraft, which reassured him considerably.

As the yacht drew closer to the force field shield, Xu Huan's pale face and unsteady gait became noticeable to everyone.

"Xu Huan, are you alright?!"

Before the yacht had even come to a complete stop, Royal Fortune tumbled off and was about to go over to check on her when a hand forcefully grabbed her sleeve.

"Hu Teng? What are you doing?!"

The girl was pulled so hard she almost lost her balance and fell over. She turned around angrily and asked.

"Don't rush... Take a closer look at the commander's condition; something seems off." Hu Teng shook his head, then flipped off the ship as well, explaining.

Something's wrong?

Royal Wealth carefully scanned Xu Huan from head to toe once more, their doubts growing even stronger.

The young man not far away looked weak; wasn't that obvious to everyone? Considering the news Belfast received on the speedboat, he must be exhausted and weak after a major battle, right?

If you don't go to check on your crew now... when will you?

"Yes, anyone with eyes can see that Xu Huan isn't in good shape right now, so why are you stopping me?"

"Try to sense it carefully with your mental energy."

Seeing Hu Teng's serious expression, the little octopus closed its eyes, though it was reluctant, and carefully mobilized its mental energy to perceive everything around it.

"this....?"

She sensed that the area in front of her was completely enveloped by a powerful mental energy. Just looking at it, she felt that the mental energy within her body had become much thicker, as if a mountain was pressing down on this sea area, making it impossible to move.

Even more frightening is that the summit of this seemingly unattainable mountain appears to be in a precarious state, and approaching it rashly gives one the feeling that a giant boulder could collapse and strike at any moment.
