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

Page 78

"Master...would you like your breakfast heated up?"

"No need, no need. Actually, the taste is fine, it won't affect anything..."

Xu Huan naturally waved his hand in refusal.

I'm already late, so how can I have the nerve to ask the other person to do these things for me?

"Yes, Master..."

Seeing that the young man refused, Belfast did not press the matter further. Just as she was about to leave, her nose twitched slightly, and then her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

She smelled something different.

As the ship girl who has spent the longest time with Xu Huan in Royal Port so far, Belfast is very familiar with the young man's aura.

And they are also very sensitive in this regard.

But this morning, the young man suddenly had a different smell.

It has a faint fragrance, like that of hydrangeas.

Knowing Xu Huan's habits, she knew that the young man did not like to wear perfume, so where did this floral fragrance, which should not belong here, come from?

Radiance....

The ship girl immediately had a candidate in mind.

"Owner..."

Belfast hesitated for a moment, but decided to ask first:

"You smell different today?"

Having learned from her previous experiences, Belfast began to shift from a defensive to an offensive approach towards Xu Huan, and her daily interactions became more aggressive.

"A different taste?"

Xu Huan sniffed himself and found that he did indeed have a faint fragrance.

It smells a bit like the scent on Glorious, or rather... it's Glorious's unique, gentle body fragrance.

The two slept in the same bed for one night, and their sleeping posture was somewhat unseemly, so it was quite normal for them to have a radiant scent on them.

After a brief moment of thought, Xu Huan stated very frankly:

"Hmm... I drank a bit too much last night and spent the night at Guanghui's place. The towels and bedding I used were hers, so I might have gotten some on them..."

"Miss Radiant? I understand, Master..."

Seeing that Xu Huan was so direct and didn't try to hide anything, Belfast's initially bad mood improved considerably for some reason.

"Huh? What—"

Just as the two were talking, a somewhat puzzled voice suddenly came from Warspite's side.

Xu Huan and Belfast assumed there was another new invasion, and immediately turned their attention to Warspite.

"Has something unexpected happened?"

"Uh...it's nothing...Commander." Feeling their gazes, Warspite said somewhat embarrassedly, "It's just that Illustrious said she needs to take two days off, and I'm a little confused."

"She never used to ask for leave; she was almost always present..."

As they spoke, Warspite and Belfast's eyes both fell on the young man.

"Commander... is Illustrious not feeling well?"

"Uh... I guess so?"

Xu Huan suddenly felt a little guilty.

Chapter 107 Cooperation? Not Impossible

After finishing up the necessary tasks in the port area, Xu Huan returned to the Royal Hotel.

According to Belfast, the Ironbloods possess more information about the Sirens than the Royals, including the method for 'completely' eliminating the Sirens, which is of utmost concern to Xu Huan.

Although Hu Teng is also a ship girl from Ironblood, she doesn't know much about this matter due to her position in the port and her personality.

Within the Ironblood Harbor, these confidential management matters were generally handled by Bismarck and Frederick.

Therefore, after exchanging contact information with Frederick yesterday, Xu Huan has been looking for an opportunity to learn more about the relevant matters through him.

I thought that since it involved iron-blooded secrets, it would take at least a bit more effort.

Unexpectedly, Frederick agreed very readily, telling Xu Huan directly on the messaging app that he could visit her when he had time.

Things were progressing much more smoothly than expected, and Xu Huan naturally did not intend to delay any longer.

While a passive defense can protect the lives of humans and ship girls to the greatest extent, if it cannot solve the problem at its root, then it is no different from a flock of sheep being raised in captivity.

After confirming the room number with the receptionist, Xu Huan went directly to Frederick's room, traveling light.

Unlike Little Octopus and Hutten, Frederick chose a room in a relatively secluded location, basically in the most remote part of the hotel, quite a distance away from the other three's rooms.

After knocking on the door, her soft, beautiful face was revealed once again.

"Child...you've come..."

Frederick looked at the young man, nodded slowly, and then glanced out into the corridor: "Isn't your little maid with you this time?"

"No... At my request, Belfast usually only stays with me when I'm at work."

Xu Huan walked in and sat on the sofa, adjusting his posture slightly to appear more polite.

For some reason, the young man always felt a little nervous when facing this ship girl who exuded mature maternal charm.

The tension didn't come from the opponent's strength, but rather from Frederick's powerful aura and very approachable demeanor.

In addition, there's her incredibly tall figure, and that awe-inspiring chest armor.

In Frederick's presence, I always felt as if I had returned to my childhood, and a subtle longing would arise within me.

Craving the other person's approval...craving the other person's care.

Especially when you meet his dark golden eyes...

The irresistible tenderness in Frederick's eyes seemed to engulf him completely.

"So it seems she's quite at ease with me..." Frederick smiled, straddling his plump legs encased in double black stockings, and lazily lay back on the sofa.

"Child, you came this time...for those things related to the Sirens, right?" The ship girl's full red lips parted slightly, and with an unintentional wave of her hand, her ample bosom rippled in an alluring wave, accompanied by a faint fragrance.

"Is there anything else you'd like to know? Anything you want to understand... feel free to ask!"

"No... I should say not for the time being."

Xu Huan steadied himself and shook his head: "Right now... the most crucial thing is to deal with the Sirens. I know that it will probably take a long time to completely eliminate this kind of enemy... but, the path is under our feet."

“Quite upright, lad…” Frederick nodded with a smile upon hearing this, but then changed the subject:

"However... before we talk about eliminating the Sirens, I have to explain a few things to you, my child."

"Ok?"

“The Sirens…not all of them harbor ill will towards humans…” Frederick explained calmly, “You can think of it as them being divided into two factions…”

Xu Huan raised an eyebrow, but wasn't surprised. Instead, he asked, "How did we know this information?"

"Hmm? You're not surprised at all?"

"Aside from hive mentality and Gestalt consciousness, isn't it normal for any species to have internal disagreements?"

Xu Huan smiled and said, "Even within the ship girls themselves, there are many factions. The Sirens also have so-called advanced humanoid Sirens with their own consciousness. If they were truly united, I would find it rather strange..."

Frederick paused for a moment upon hearing this, then said, "It's good that you understand... Child, I was a little worried that you might be the kind of hot-blooded youth who gets blinded by justice and wants to wipe out all the Sirens."

She straightened her plump waist slightly, the tender flesh of her lower abdomen slightly bulging: "Speaking of the source of information... actually a large part of it is related to Bismarck, but my understanding of it is rather superficial."

Xu Huan did not answer, but simply nodded and waited for the ship girl to continue.

"Bismarck has collaborated with them in private, that's all I know... So for more specific details, you'll have to pry Bismarck's mouth open yourself."

Frederick spoke in a soft, charming tone, pausing deliberately on certain words.

Ignoring the details of prying open the mouth later, the young man asked with some confusion, "You've worked with the Sirens before?"

"Yes... part of her ship equipment comes from the technology and power provided by the Sirens."

"To increase our strength by cooperating with some of the Sirens? I understand..."

Xu Huan nodded thoughtfully.

"Any thoughts...child?" Frederick asked, noticing the young man's thoughtful expression.

"I was wondering—"

Xu Huan raised his head: "Since Bismarck can improve herself by cooperating with that other faction of Sirens, then I might as well... Or rather, the combat power of all ship girls may be improved again."

To be honest, Xu Huan is quite interested in the applications and technologies related to mental energy that the ship girls and sirens have shown so far.

However, apart from intimate contact with ship girls, there are currently no other methods that can be 'borrowed'.

It's something you can't steal even if you want to.

Frederick glanced at Xu Huan with some surprise upon hearing this: "You really aren't picky at all..."
