Chapter Seventy-Six: Grudges and Hatred
Perhaps because he had worked until midnight the night before and had completed most of the tasks that needed to be addressed, Xu Huan was told that his workday was over after less than three hours on his first day in office.
The workload was so low that it was like children playing house compared to the life-or-death tasks they used to face.
So, on Belfast and Warspite's advice, Xu Huan began to openly stroll around the port as a commander for the first time.
Besides getting to know the terrain and port structure, it is also very important for the commander to meet with the ship girls more often.
After all, most of the ship girls in the port only know that there is a commander, but have never met the commander. They are in a state of only knowing the name but never seeing the person.
However, since it was still working hours, the young man didn't encounter any ship girls while wandering around the port area. Instead, he saw a lot of barbarian chicks who were doing different jobs.
The Manjiu were indeed servants in Xu Huan's understanding. Whenever Xu Huan approached with some curiosity, the Manjiu would stand up straight and salute, like soldiers waiting for inspection.
These seemingly cute and hardworking Manju serve as the majority of the cogs in the port area. Xu Huan still holds a certain respect for these selfless 'creatures' who contribute to the port area.
After wandering around the port area for a while, the young man gradually discovered that this Royal Port was much larger than he had imagined, and its facilities were more complete than those of human cities.
Just like...
The church is directly in front of Xu Huan at this moment.
Bathed in soft sunlight, the church's ancient silhouette stood quietly in its surroundings, its stark simplicity almost too striking compared to the opulent royal palaces around it—which was why the young man noticed it immediately.
Just as described in many religious novels, its appearance is solemn and majestic, giving people a deep sense of tranquility. The church's spire soars into the sky, and the intricately carved rose windows on the spire gleam in the sunlight, adding a touch of mystery and romance.
"A church... I didn't expect there to be such a building inside the royal palace. Hmm... it makes perfect sense."
Xu Huan was curious the moment he saw the church, but after considering the significance and background that royalty represented, he didn't find it strange.
However, in his impression, the atmosphere on the Iris and Vichy sides seemed to be stronger, after all, the names of the factions both contained the word 'Papal'.
The young man took out his phone, found Belfast's chat interface, and asked:
Are there any ship girls in the port who are devout believers?
Belfast replied shortly after.
"As Master knows, due to the Royal Navy's background, the Royal Navy's ship girls generally have some understanding of religion... but as for being 'devout,' they're not exactly 'devout'..."
"If Master is interested in religion, he can look up information on Iris and Vichy; they are quite knowledgeable in this area."
"Understood... Thank you."
Xu Huan put away his phone and looked at the church in front of him again.
If there are no devout believers, then for whom was this church prepared? Or was it simply to satisfy Elizabeth's decorative and collecting hobby...?
Just as the young man was hesitating about whether to go inside and take a look, a soft and calming voice came from behind him:
"Commander...is something bothering you?"
Xu Huan turned his head and saw a ship girl dressed in what looked like a nun's habit, smiling as she slowly walked towards him.
The ship girl was tall and slender, with a black gauze nun's headscarf and long, pale yellow hair that reached her waist. Her amber eyes were quietly looking at Xu Huan.
With bright eyes and white teeth, a rosy complexion and beautiful features, her eyes are clear and peaceful, but the combination of her features always gives people a stunningly beautiful and enchanting contrast.
Her high, rounded breasts were barely covered by her clothes at the lower half. The smooth, white fat mounds stretched the fabric at her chest a little tight, swaying gently as she walked, giving her an increasingly precarious appearance, as if she might lose her balance and fall at any moment.
The dress had a lace detailing at the navel, allowing a glimpse of her flat, slender abdomen.
The hem of her dress was slit high up to her upper thighs, almost to her waist. Two thin black lines gently cinched her waist, and her long, voluptuous legs were encased in white stockings. Her feet were adorned with black high heels that contrasted sharply with the white stockings, adding a touch of allure to her overall look.
The ship girl in front of him was clearly dressed as a nun, but no matter what, she was very different from the nuns in Xu Huan's memory.
Wearing a nun's habit on someone always feels like wearing lingerie...
and--
The young man looked up at the top of the ship girl's head.
Above it appeared to be a decorative halo, and two silver-white horns.
The halo symbolizes holiness... but those two horns seem to have something to do with demons.
What's happening here?
Resentment.jpg
When the ship girl saw Xu Huan looking at her, she smiled and began her self-introduction from their first meeting: "Greetings, Commander, I am the Royal Navy armored carrier HMS Vengeance."
After speaking, his resentful eyes, filled with an ambiguous undertone, thoroughly scanned Xu Huan's face and body from head to toe.
"The commander seems to be even more handsome than rumored... After hearing about those deeds, I've become interested in your past, future, mind, and body."
The Vengeance, one of the legendary naval ships of the Royal Navy.
In other words, the ship girl in front of him, who was dressed rather seductively, was capable of resisting him in terms of strength.
Xu Huan recalled the information he had seen before, which included a section like this after the information on grudges and hatred—
nun(?)
The presence of a question mark indicates that the information available about her is not very in-depth, especially regarding her identity as a nun.
"Is this the area you're in charge of?" Xu Huan snapped out of his reverie, shifting his gaze from the other person's alluring face to the church in front of him.
"Yes...this church has a long history. It was left behind after humans left the coast, and it has been under my management since the establishment of the Royal Port District..."
Yuan Chou nodded slightly: "I've noticed the Commander lingering in front of the church. If you're interested in this place, would you like to come in with me... for some tea?"
"Let me do my duty... to entertain the Commander~~"
Chapter Seventy-Seven: Black Tea and Green Tea
After a brief moment of thought, Xu Huan readily accepted Yuan Chou's invitation.
I've been wandering around the port area for a while now, and just then I bumped into Royal Navy's maritime legend. They even extended a very friendly invitation, so I figured I had to accept.
"Then... Commander, please follow me."
Yuanchou smiled meaningfully and walked ahead of the young man.
Only then did Xu Huan realize that the nun's habit worn by the ship girl in front of him was more complex than he had imagined—
It's also open-back.
This also means that most of the skin behind the grudge is directly exposed to the air, and the smooth curves and skin give people an extremely impactful temptation.
In other words, what Yuanchou is wearing now can't be called clothes; it's just a large piece of cloth hanging directly on his body.
Walking along the corridor, watching the sunlight shine through the stained-glass windows onto Yuan Chou's smooth and clean back, watching her delicate skin become even more eye-catching under the sunlight, watching Yuan Chou's plump peach-like lower body sway slightly up and down with her walk.
Xu Huan suddenly felt that directly accepting the other party's invitation might not be a good option.
After passing through the corridor and hall, Yuan Chou led Xu Huan to a separate reception room inside the church.
The place wasn't big, about the size of Xu Huan's bedroom, but it was fully furnished with furniture such as a coffee table, sofa, and refrigerator, and there was even a small kitchen specifically for making tea and cooking.
However, the lighting in this place is not as good as in a regular room. Only a window next to the ceiling lets in a sliver of sunlight, making it somewhat dark even in broad daylight, which gives the living room a more private feel.
It's as if no one outside would know what happened here...
It felt like a small, dark room.
“This place was specially set up for you, Commander. It’s been idle for so long, and it can finally be put to use…” Yuan Chou pressed the button and turned on the lights, making the room brighter.
"Please find a seat, Commander. I'll go make you some tea..."
Yuan Chou bowed slightly and walked directly towards the small kitchen.
"OK, thanks...."
Xu Huan found a comfortable spot on the sofa and sat down. Just as he was wondering why the lighting wasn't better, he accidentally caught sight of the exhaust fan on the wall.
Although the lighting in this place is indeed not very good, if there is nothing wrong with the air quality, there is no need to use an exhaust fan, right?
Is it to prevent something from happening later?
Just then, the communication device in my pocket suddenly beeped with a message transmission sound.
Xu Huan picked it up and saw that it was the Belfast from earlier.
At this moment, she seemed to realize something serious and immediately started asking questions in the message:
"Master... is it because you've encountered a grudge that you suddenly asked this question?"
Was your guess really that accurate?
However, there aren't many ship girls in the Royal Navy that are even remotely related to the concept of 'faith' or 'religion,' right? A simple elimination will tell you that.
Xu Huan was about to reply when he suddenly remembered what Belfast had said about the lack of truly 'devout' believers in the port area.
So that means grudges are not included either...
Why would someone with such a grudge wear a nun's habit and manage a church?
Although it may look a little frivolous, it is still a nun's habit.
Don't mistake a lesbian for a nun.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Huan tapped his finger lightly and replied:
