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

Page 42

Putting aside his impressive drinking capacity, could a truly drunk person really do that kind of thing? If I hadn't intervened in time, they probably would have already kissed.

"I'm a little drunk, but not really drunk..." Glorious replied.

She was indeed drunk at first, but after hearing Xu Huan say that she liked him too, she became clear-headed like never before.

A hazy state of lucidity.

Aurora hesitated for a moment before asking again, "Then, Glorious...did you do that on purpose?"

"Some things can only be said and done with the help of alcohol... Let nature take its course," Glorious replied with a smile.

As for actions, just follow your subconscious instincts.

Unlike Hu Teng, she didn't have many ulterior motives, nor did she plan ahead or deliberately think about what she wanted; everything just happened naturally.

Before coming to visit, she never expected to run into Xu Huan at Aurora's place today.

The atmosphere was right, and with the influence of alcohol, she felt she should do it, so she did.

She let her feelings develop naturally, and she confessed her love naturally. As for how Xu Huan would respond, she hadn't thought about it at first. But no matter what happened to the others tonight, she was very satisfied with everything she had so far.

Especially that response from Xu Huan.

"Let nature take its course..." Aurora tugged at the hem of her dress.

She wasn't quite sure what the word meant. Did she have to drink more next time and follow her intuition to see what she really wanted?

But if I get drunk... who will take care of the commander?

"Hmm...and the Commander is much cuter than I imagined..." Illustrious nodded and smiled gently.

After what happened tonight, she was even more looking forward to Xu Huan's visit to her place.

"By the way, Aurora, it should still be early, right?" Radiant suddenly asked, thinking of this.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"With the remaining time... may I ask you for cooking tips? I'm not entirely sure about my current skill level, and I'm not sure if I can satisfy the Commander..."

"I'm fine... it's just that Glorious, your condition—"

"It's okay, I feel much better now."

Meanwhile, not far from Aurora's house.

As soon as Xu Huan opened the door, Hu Teng, who had been following behind, also came in. However, as soon as she entered, she kicked the door shut with her heel.

"Huteng... what you said is important—hmm?"

The young man turned around, about to ask the ship girl about the important matter, when his mouth was immediately covered by a soft hand.

Soon, a warm body pressed against him.

"Commander, don't you know? This is the important thing I'm about to tell you..." The ship girl licked her lips and whispered in Xu Huan's ear.

Is there anything more urgent than eating the commander?

Of course there is none.

If so, then it's time to eat it again.

(Fifty words omitted here)

Hu Teng caught her breath for a moment, and after speaking, regardless of what else the young man in front of her had to say, she pressed herself against him again.

She had been holding back for long enough in front of those two women...

Moreover, watching the actions of those two women, I felt inexplicably angry.

With a soft thud, Xu Huan was pushed onto the living room sofa by the ship girl.

At this moment, he was like a somewhat bewildered lab rat. Before he could even give a proper response, the serpent, which had been waiting nearby, seized the opportunity and launched its hunting attack.

(Nearly two hundred words omitted here)

"Wait a minute..."

The ship girl suddenly pushed Xu Huan away gently.

"What's wrong?"

“Take a shower first…” Hu Teng bit his lip, slightly annoyed. “You have the scent of Radiance on you…you need to wash it off before you can get my scent on you.”

The young man was somewhat taken aback and was about to reply when the ship girl immediately lowered her head again.

"Never mind... I can't hold it in any longer."

The entire scene before Xu Huan's eyes was filled with Hu Teng's golden vertical pupils.

"It's mine..."

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

Ironblood Harbor District, Laboratory.

Frederick had just returned to the port and, after confirming the handover of the mission, rushed here with the small crystal he had just collected from the island in his pocket.

"Purple Brie? Are you there?"

As soon as he opened the door, Frederick looked around the entire laboratory and finally saw the white-haired ship girl who seemed to have fallen asleep on the table in the corner.

The Bri family members are petite and have very youthful faces, but they are the most reliable multi-talented individuals in each port area.

Frederick came this time also to ask Bry for a favor.

After discovering the strange crystal at noon today, she thoroughly searched the waters surrounding the island until she was certain there was no other useful information before setting off to return.

She planned to ask Tombri to use professional instruments to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the crystal she had found in order to determine its origin.

'Since this concerns the child... it's best to be cautious.'

Although I was already 80-90% sure about myself, nothing is absolute. To play it safe, it's perfectly normal to ask Brie for help.

Upon hearing the sound, Zibuli squinted her sleepy eyes and looked up, but quickly regained her energy: "Bili—Frederick is back, bulli!"

According to normal habits, Zibuli should have already eaten and gone to bed by this time.

Kids usually go to bed quite early.

I stayed in the lab today because I received a last-minute communication request from Frederick, but I accidentally fell asleep on the table.

"I'm sorry... I got back a little late, I'll have to trouble you with this..." Frederick said in a very gentle tone with a very friendly smile.

"It's okay, Buli. Buli is interested in that kind of thing too, Buli!!"

Under the watchful, blinking gaze of Zibuli's large eyes, Frederick took the small red crystal out of his pocket.

As the aura of mental energy contained within it gradually spread throughout the research room, Zibuli's eyes widened in astonishment.

"This...this looks like Commander Buli!!!"

Chapter Fifty-Eight: Secretly Doing Something Big

The commander's mental energy aura is very special and is quite different from that of the sirens and ship girls. Once the relevant mental energy is used or there is a leak of aura, it can be quickly detected by the ship girls.

This is also why the ship girls reacted so strongly after Xu Huan used his psionic energy in front of Hu Teng.

“Yes, I found it on a small island. When I first saw this thing, I thought exactly the same as you. It must be something related to that child…” Frederick explained the specific source of the crystal and handed it to Zibuli.

"But since we can't be 100% sure, I'll have to ask you to help analyze it again... after all, it's related to the Commander."

"Buli~ I understand! Leave this to me, buli!"

Zibuli took the crystal and examined it carefully for a while. Just as Frederick was wondering what she was going to do, Zibuli opened her mouth and bit it down with her teeth.

"Hmm... uh?" Frederick looked a little confused.

Is this some kind of novel testing method? Or is it just pure curiosity?

Based on her understanding of Zibuli, it is highly likely to be the latter.

Sure enough, after taking a bite of the crystal, Zibuli pouted unhappily and said, "It's so hard... I can't bite it open!"

"I did a quick test on the way here before I came, and the hardness of this crystal—uh?!!"

Just as Frederick was about to offer some advice, he saw Zibuli take out his ancestral wrench and forcefully smash it down on the crystal block.

This is no ordinary wrench; it's the wrench that has been with Zi Buli since its birth. In the words of fantasy novels, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it Buli's 'natal' magic weapon.

As expected, the small crystal shattered into several tiny fragments under the force of the wrench.

"Its hardness is nothing special, not even as good as my wrench!"

Seeing that the crystal had finally shattered into the shape he wanted, Zibuli happily put his hands on his hips and said, "This makes testing much easier! Breaking it into several pieces also makes it easier to do experiments! Frederick, just wait for my report!"

After saying that, without waiting for Frederick's reply, Zibuli picked up the shards on the table and walked towards the innermost part of the laboratory.

Frederick saw that Zibuli had finally stopped her somewhat eccentric behavior and couldn't help but shake his head and smile slightly.

Zibuli has always been like this, or rather, the entire Zibuli clan is like this. They seem a bit dull and their behavior is quite eccentric, but once they agree to a request, they almost never fail to fulfill it.

"When will the report be ready at the earliest?" Frederick asked.

"Tomorrow, buli! I've had enough sleep today, buli!" Purple Buri replied without turning her head.

Due to the special nature of its ship type, Zibuli doesn't usually need to go out on missions. If there's nothing else to do, she spends most of her days eating and sleeping to conserve her energy so that when something of great interest comes up, she can concentrate on researching and solving it as quickly as possible.
