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

Page 46

"Ok?"

Xu Huan was slightly taken aback.

You said you were getting on the ship, right?

Why is Elizabeth reacting so strongly? I didn't see this reaction when I boarded the Royal Fortune ship.

Could it be that I accidentally said something wrong?

"You must have misheard me... When I said 'on board,' I meant your prototype ship."

"You...you actually emphasized it again! You commoner, you're really too impolite!" Elizabeth hurriedly shook her head, even her eyes were a little misty. In her panic, she even summoned her ship's equipment, and the battleship's cannons slowly turned and aimed at Xu Huan.

"Okay, okay... I take back what I said earlier."

Xu Huan was somewhat exasperated and quickly reached out to use his psionic energy to force Elizabeth's ship equipment back in.

If things continue like this, it would be bad if something went wrong and a conflict broke out.

"How could you possibly damage my ship's equipment so directly—"

The girl's eyes showed even greater wariness and distrust.

After witnessing Xu Huan's methods, she suddenly felt as if she were completely under his control.

If a ship girl can't even summon her own ship equipment, what else can she do?

Elizabeth recalled the warning she'd received at the palace that 'the Commander is no ordinary person,' coupled with rumors that he could fight humanoid sirens and even possessed strength comparable to Bismarck...

She suddenly lost her sense of security.

Fortunately, the other party is a commander, and with the guarantees from Warspite, Illustrious, Belfast, and others, they shouldn't do anything to me...

After the two argued for a while, Elizabeth finally reluctantly agreed to travel with the young man on a speedboat to carry out the mission, after Xu Huan displayed some physical "persuasion" in a psionic sense.

Fortunately, Xu Huan's driving skills were quite good, and Elizabeth did not feel any discomfort while riding the speedboat. She was somewhat satisfied and obediently shut her mouth, but her eyes were still secretly looking around, as if she found it very novel.

"Haven't you ever seen the sea before? Why are you looking at it like that?" Although she tried to hide it well, Xu Huan still noticed the girl's actions out of the corner of his eye.

The ocean, shimmering in the morning sunlight, certainly has a unique beauty. But even the best scenery can become tiresome after a while. Judging from how Elizabeth kept looking around since leaving the port, Her Majesty probably rarely leaves the port.

"What do you mean you've never seen the sea?! That's an insult to me! I'm a ship girl, after all!" Elizabeth replied angrily, as if her sore spot had been hit.

Because of her very special royal status, even as a ship girl, she has not really gone to sea to carry out missions much.

On one hand, it's due to her own personality; on the other hand, as the leader of the royal family, although she possesses excellent support-type aura skills, she herself lacks outstanding combat power. If they were to encounter powerful Sirens at sea, the royal family could not afford the consequences if something happened to her.

Therefore, the best option is to keep Elizabeth in the port as much as possible. If she must leave the port, she should be accompanied by at least one legendary-level naval warrior.

Just like Xu Huan, who traveled with me on this trip.

After the girl mumbled her explanation, seeing that Xu Huan wasn't going to pursue the matter, and knowing that her little actions couldn't escape his notice, she decided to openly look around.

The gentle sea breeze caressed her face, making the girl's originally neat hairstyle a little messy. Elizabeth listened to the constant sound of the wind around her, thought for a moment, and then sat down on the top of the chair, sticking her head out of the windshield.

"call----"

The wind suddenly became much stronger, and the howling wind even made the girl squint, and her long golden hair was blown around by the wind.

"Hey!"

The girl suddenly lowered her head slightly and looked at Xu Huan.

"what happened?"

The young man remained focused, continuing to steer the yacht.

"What I'm doing now and what I'll be doing in a little while... you mustn't tell anyone about it when we get back to the port, do you understand?!"

"...What is it?"

Xu Huan asked with some doubt.

“It’s this kind of… rude and low-class thing,” Elizabeth exclaimed.

Although she seemed to have a lot of freedom in the port area, doing whatever she wanted, and before Xu Huan came to the port area, she didn't have to do any work at all, and all she did every day was sleep and eat.

However, the gazes from other factions and the various restrictions imposed by so-called royal traditions and fine etiquette put her under another kind of pressure.

Warspite and Belfast were constantly instructing her on how to greet others, how to walk, and how to present herself when encountering ship girls from other factions, even taking into account how to maintain appropriate elegance during meals.

Furthermore, when in Royal Port, except for sleeping, she is accompanied by ship girls from the Royal Maid Corps from the moment she opens her eyes until she closes them, leaving her with no time for herself.

Having finally escaped the pressures of the port area, she naturally wanted to do something she wanted to do.

As for Xu Huan...

Judging from the other party's words and actions so far, they don't seem to be someone who cares about such things, so we can confirm for now that they are one of our own.

Testimonials

The editor notified me that I can post a message about the book's release.

As a young pigeon, I don't know what to say.

Will you try to finish writing this book?

it is necessary.

Three strikes and you're out... I'm a little embarrassed that I've missed two books in a row.

Compared to other ship girl fanfics, this book has a relatively slow pace, which I personally prefer. Also, it doesn't include all the ship girls; it mainly focuses on the more mature (adult) ship girls.

As for the perennial issue of avoiding triggers, I won't go into detail. Although my writing skills are lacking and my stories are terrible, I won't get involved in things like "green" or "white". The old guys in the group know my background.

I have to finish writing a ship girl fanfic eventually, so this is it!

The author personally enjoys writing about romance and relationships, and is a frequent contributor to harem novels. If they want to write more in the future, it will likely be this type of story. Please support them if you're interested!

Please give me some free tickets, but no need for paid tips. Save yours for other better books on the cat website, don't waste them on me.

Thank you for your support~

Chapter Sixty-Three: Racing Ships

"Something impolite and that seems beneath one's dignity?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Huan finally turned his head to the side and slowly nodded at Elizabeth.

It would have been better if the other party hadn't said that, but since they've already brought it up, it's hard not to be intrigued.

I'm curious to see what kind of impolite thing His Majesty from the royal family will do in a moment. Could it be that he has some strange and unknown quirks?

"Then it's settled... If you break your promise, I will not spare you!!"

Elizabeth breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Xu Huan had agreed to her request. As for the subsequent threat, it was just her habitual verbal tic.

As for whether Xu Huan will go back on his word afterward...

Elizabeth had never even considered such a possibility.

The word "breach of trust" seems to be completely absent from her dictionary, or rather, in her concept of etiquette, it is virtually impossible for a person to go back on their word once they have made a promise. This may be because she has lived in the good etiquette of the royal family since birth and is unaware of the dangers of society.

The girl was noticeably more relaxed than before after receiving Xu Huan's assurance.

She raised her head again, continuing to enjoy the feeling of the sea breeze on her face. Then she gently opened her mouth, letting more of the wind flow into her taste buds, trying to taste the slightly salty and fishy flavor mixed in with the sea breeze.

Xu Huan smiled gently.

Elizabeth's actions reminded him of his childhood—

It was summer, and out of sheer boredom, he kept making "ah" sounds into the fan at home, listening to the strange and wonderful sounds coming from his mouth as they passed through the fan.

"The sea breeze doesn't taste very good..." Xu Huan reminded him.

"Your mouth might get a little salty later on if you keep doing this."

"It will become a little salty? What will that feel like?"

The girl looked at her curiously: "Have you tried it yourself before?"

"No, I'm way past the age where I can open my mouth like that, but I imagine it wouldn't be a pleasant feeling..."

"Huh? Damn it... Are you saying I'm like a child?!" Elizabeth asked, somewhat agitated.

She had finally managed to get out and have some fun, and just moments ago she thought Xu Huan was someone who didn't care much about these things and was easy to talk to. How come, after only a short while, this young man in front of her had started rambling on and on?

"No... Don't do reading comprehension exercises randomly."

Xu Huan looked at the crown still firmly on the girl's head, thought for a moment, and said, "And this crown on your head... are you going to keep wearing it?"

"What's wrong? This is a symbol of my status, so it's best to wear it all the time!"

"But if you keep doing this, won't the crown be blown away by the wind?"

"This... I don't know..."

Feeling the wind seeming to be gradually increasing and listening to the young man's question, Elizabeth didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Her daily clothing was mostly done by the royal maid team, and the crown on her head, which symbolized her status, was never seen to come loose, no matter how special the method or technique was used.

However, those were all within the safe harbor area, and now it was time to go out to sea to carry out a mission. Facing the increasingly strong sea wind, Elizabeth began to worry about the crown on her head after listening to Xu Huan's words.

This is, after all, a symbol of royal status; it would be a real problem if it were accidentally blown into the sea by the wind.
