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

Page 53

"...This is the command center, is it really a good idea to do this?"

The war-wearing soldiers blushed slightly at the sight of their overly intimate actions.

Just as she was hesitating whether to step forward and stop them, reminding the two to be mindful of their boundaries, she saw the royal head maid gently peck Xu Huan on the cheek.

During this time, words such as "master" and "cute" could be faintly heard.

This isn't just a simple act of intimacy; it's practically flirting!

Could it be that, without her knowledge, Belfast and the Commander had already successfully developed an office romance?

Warspite's mind raced as she considered the overall pros and cons of the situation, her hand unconsciously tightening around the empty milk carton.

While it may be generally beneficial to the Royal Navy, office romances are generally detrimental to the healthy development of ship girls' minds and bodies, especially for the other person in the office, namely, oneself!

No matter what, you can't exactly be all lovey-dovey in front of yourself, can you? It could easily affect your work efficiency...

Having found a suitable excuse, Warspite quickly smoothed his slightly flushed face, stood up as if he knew nothing, and said casually:

"Commander... I suddenly remembered there's something I haven't told you yet."

On the other side, Xu Huan was also in a slightly dazed state, unsure of what to do.

Belfast was acting very strangely today. Her usual dignified demeanor seemed to have completely disappeared, and overnight she suddenly became much more approachable, even more proactive in her interactions with others.

No, it should be said that she was too proactive. Just now, the silver-haired head maid even gave him a light peck on the cheek.

This made Xu Huan slightly suspicious about the relationship between the two.

It's important to know that although Belfast always refers to Xu Huan as her master, Xu Huan has never considered the ship girls as his servants. The term "personal secretary" would be a more accurate description.

Shouldn't my relationship with Belfast be more like that of a boss and secretary? What's with this sudden kiss, praise, and feeding?

It seems like no secretary needs to do these things, right?

I treated you like a secretary, and this is how you treated me...

Just as he was pondering how to deal with Belfast's little tricks, Warspite's sudden intervention gave the young man a brief chance to catch his breath and calm down.

"Hmm? What is it..."

Xu Huan sat up straight to reply, but Belfast beside him had no intention of letting him off so easily.

The head maid walked slowly, moving from her standing position to the back of the chair, pressing down the headrest on the chair, and then gently leaning back.

Because of the posture and the design of the chair, her soft, plump breasts were now perfectly positioned to gently rest on the back of the young man's head.

Xu Huan's body stiffened for a moment.

The back of his head sank into something soft, and considering Belfast's height, even if Xu Huan was stupid, he couldn't possibly not know exactly where he was resting his head on the ship girl.

He was about to raise his head when a cool hand gently pressed it down.

"Master...don't worry about these things..." A gentle voice came from beside her ear, and a pleasant body fragrance gradually filled the surrounding air.

Two slightly cool fingers took the opportunity to press on his temples.

With gentle kneading and moderate pressure, the young man's entire body gradually relaxed.

Belfast is acting really strange today... Is she sick?

Xu Huan was still a little unaccustomed to Belfast's change, but he subconsciously adjusted his body to find a more comfortable position for the back of his head so that he could sink deeper into it.

Wait... what am I doing? Why am I suddenly starting to enjoy it?

The young man felt that his control over his body was gradually decreasing, even to the point of being severely reduced, and he couldn't even immediately stop this subconscious desire for softer areas.

In the past, I would never have reacted this way.

Is it an impulse ingrained in one's subconscious, or perhaps even etched into one's genes? Or is there some other reason...?

Or perhaps it's just that he's simply lustful, but he's been suppressing it for too long?

Belfast smiled with satisfaction at Xu Huan's reaction, and even the pressure of her fingers massaging his temples became gentler.

Leaving aside their inner thoughts for the moment, Warspite, who was standing not far away, was already somewhat dumbfounded.

Her pupils widened slightly, her gaze locking onto the back of Xu Huan's head and Belfast's chest. Then, she subconsciously looked down at her own chest.

If Belfast's movements were done by myself...

The commander probably wouldn't be so comfortable; it's likely to be uncomfortable...

No, what am I thinking?!

She quickly shook her head, placed the pre-prepared communication device on the table, and gave Belfast a look that said, "I've already added you."

"This is the port area... or you could say it's a common communication tool used by the ship girls. Commander, you can use it to issue commands or chat..."

"Communication tools?"

"That's right. In all the major factions, basically every ship girl has one."

The various factions... well, that means there probably won't be any little octopuses left. I'll have to try and get a few more myself if I get the chance.

Xu Huan picked up the communication device, or more accurately, a mobile phone, opened the contact module, and found that Warspite, Belfast, and Glorious already had their profile pictures at the top.

"These are the contact details for Belfast and me that I added in advance for you, Commander. Cough cough, mainly for office needs."

"If you need anything in the future, just contact us through this..."

Chapter Seventy-Four: The Second Gift

After giving Xu Huan a brief explanation of the various basic functions of the communication device, such as chatting, making phone calls, and sending distress signals, Warspite quickly retreated back into his pile of documents.

Seeing that Warspite had left, Xu Huan put away his communication device, lowered his voice slightly, and prepared to discuss Belfast's strange behavior today with her.

“Belfa...who are you today—”

Before she could even open her mouth, the head maid interrupted, "Belphin wasn't sick or upset today, and she didn't encounter anything strange or difficult to resolve..."

"Then why-"

"Master shouldn't mind, right?"

Belfast smiled and, instead of massaging the young man's temples, gently tilted his head back.

Her crystal-clear skin, delicate and upturned nose, pink lips, and those longing eyes were all captured by the young man at this moment.

At this distance, the two could even smell each other's breath.

"I don't dislike it, it's just a little strange..." Xu Huan shook his head gently.

People always have a desire for beautiful things, so how could they dislike them...?

"Given the relationship between Master and Belfast... it should have been done a long time ago... it's just that you were a bit too straightforward before, Master."

He's more than just overly straightforward... he's practically a block of wood.

In their daily interactions, Xu Huan acted as if he hadn't seen Belfast's very obvious hints... or rather, he didn't think about them in that way, as if he really only regarded Belfast as his comrade-in-arms and secretary.

Just as Hu Teng had initially judged Xu Huan, he was very knowledgeable about combat, but had suppressed his emotions for too long.

If it weren't for Hu Teng's recent help in comforting him, Xu Huan would probably have stood up the moment Belfast offered him the chest pillow, maintaining a very appropriate and polite distance.

After the ship girl finished speaking, she gently stroked the young man's face with her jade-like hand, caressing it back and forth. Her soft fingertips lightly brushed across the young man's eyelashes, nose, lips, and then down to his chin, as if she were admiring a very precious treasure.

Xu Huan looked away again, and Belfast smiled again.

"...I enjoy watching your troubled expression. It's a pleasure I've only recently discovered. Please forgive Belfast for such a wicked hobby."

Xu Huan didn't know how to reply, so he glanced at the desk where Warspite was sitting, making sure that his colleague didn't seem to be paying attention to him.

She lowered her head and gently kissed the young man's lips.

“It’s not surprising. Belfast likes her master, so none of this is surprising.”

This was the second token of affection that Xu Huan received.

My second favorite.

Recalling what Belfast had said to her... those discussions about the relationship between the commander and the ship girls...

Do I have such a 'skill'? Do I have the ability to take care of this sentiment?

After only a moment's thought, Xu Huan arrived at the answer.

Nonsense, who else but me?

Once the thought is settled, the mind becomes clear.

He was a little unsure how to respond to the ship girl's feelings for him, but remembering everything that had happened before, he subconsciously reached out his hand.

Belfast closed her eyes.

Just as his hand was about to touch the ship girl's face—

"boom!"

The sudden sound completely shattered the somewhat romantic atmosphere. The two looked up and found that Warspite had fallen to the ground at some point, with the documents he was pushing scattered all over the floor.

Sensing the strange looks from the two men, Warspite immediately got up, grabbed a few documents from the floor, and ran back to his seat.

She leaned too much while eavesdropping and accidentally lost her balance.

"Excuse me, excuse me, please continue..."
