How to fall in love with a ship girl?

"Yes."

"Yes, I do, but that crystal...is not very valuable, and I'm afraid it might be a little inconvenient." Xu Huan took back the crystal he had taken out earlier and directly took out a small ring.

There was also a blue crystal inlaid at the top, but just as Xu Huan said, not only was it much smaller in size, the crystal itself seemed to contain some mixed things.

"You know, giving a ring as a gift can easily lead to misunderstandings. If you mind—"

"do not mind."

Before the young man could finish his words, Hu Teng interrupted him and took the ring away.

"In my opinion, this thing is very valuable, so let's just leave it like this..." Hu Teng rubbed the ring carefully on his hand for a long time before carefully putting it back into his clothes pocket.

"Uh...? Are you sure?" Xu Huan was a little surprised.

It seems that those things that look good seem to be more valuable in the eyes of the ship girls.

"Sure...it's really valuable..." Hu Teng replied, his usually calm voice now carrying a hint of joy.

"I'll give you one more service, Commander."

"Ok?"

When Xu Huanzheng was a little confused, he suddenly felt a soft and delicate palm entering his right hand and holding his hand tightly.

"Come on, I'll take you to the most worthwhile places here."

Hu Teng did not explain his behavior, but directly pulled Xu Huan towards the snack street nearby.

Her steps were much faster than usual, and the sound of her footsteps continued to be heard, causing passers-by on the street to subconsciously avoid the two of them.

"There's no need to be so anxious." Feeling the strange looks from the people around him, Xu Huan felt a little embarrassed.

Because Hu Teng was wearing a mind-blocking device, no one would pay attention to her, so all the pressure from passers-by's gazes was turned to her alone.

Although this little thing was nothing considering Xu Huan's psychological endurance, it was still uncomfortable to be watched like this all the time.

The two of them kept pulling like this until they reached the food street and stopped.

"I haven't been to the royal territory very often, and there are only two places I'm familiar with, and this is one of them."

The aroma of various delicacies kept lingering at the tip of the nose, trying to arouse the appetite in the stomach. Not to mention the passers-by, even Xu Huan himself was somewhat tempted.

"What about the other one?" Xu Huan asked curiously.

"It's the Royal Port District headquarters."

".....Is the Royal Family's management very lax?"

"No, I got in through legitimate channels... The other companions all had some personal grudges against the royal family, so whenever there was something that needed to be negotiated, it was usually handled by me or Frederick."

Hu Teng had no intention of letting go of Xu Huan's hand. As he spoke, he held his hand and walked to a stall selling barbecue.

"Royal is a food desert, there's nothing particularly delicious, but the barbecue in this store is pretty good, although it's a bit more expensive than other stalls."

"Can you buy things with a mind-blocking device?"

Xu Huan asked, trying to free himself from the clutches of the ship girl, but he didn't expect Hu Teng to react very quickly.

Noticing the movement in her hand, she raised her brows slightly and held Xu Huan's hand tighter.

"Yes, simple and normal interactions are fine, and in the eyes of the other party, I will become an ordinary passerby and will not attract anyone's attention."

"Blending in is the best disguise... The person who developed this device has genius-level abilities and ideas." Xu Huan nodded and praised.

"Then come with me to Tiexue, I'll give you a chance to meet her...Boss, give me two classic barbecue sets."

"Hu Teng, now that we're here, why do we have to hold hands?"

"There's no special reason... Commander, do you dislike me?"

"No, but holding hands is somewhat considered an intimate act, right?"

"Holding hands? That's far from the definition of intimacy, Commander..."

Hu Teng shook his head, then stood on tiptoe and gently pressed his cold lips on Xu Huan's face.

"That's it."

Chapter 20 You, Me and Him

After a few days of getting along and observing each other, Hu Teng already had a more three-dimensional impression of Xu Huan.

He is powerful and specialized in combat. As long as he is in a dangerous environment, his brain will always remain calm and make the most correct choice.

It was obvious from the first time I fought him that he was so at ease that even those crazy people in Sakura Empire who liked hand-to-hand combat were better than him.

This kind of temperament that is exuded unintentionally cannot be achieved through simple training. It must have sufficient practical experience to be able to deal with various emergencies.

Of course, the opposite of this is the lack of emotional life.

During the few days on the ship, Hu Teng and Royal Fortune seemed to be no different from men in his eyes. He would politely move aside when seeing sensitive parts and had an excellent sense of distance. He usually got along with them like comrades-in-arms and colleagues.

If the ship girl didn't take the initiative to break that relationship, he would probably treat everyone as a comrade.

From a certain perspective, if the commander is too polite to himself, it will be detrimental to the overall development of the port.

After all, there is such a thing as a vow ring...

Hu Teng felt that Xu Huan must have stayed in that dangerous battlefield environment for too long, and his nerves were tense for too long, so some of his emotional instincts were suppressed accordingly.

So she continued with the so-called reason of showing intimate actions and tried it a little.

Of course, I also have some selfish motives.

People always have to be a little selfish, and the same goes for ship girls.

The cold lips stayed on his face for less than a second, just a light peck.

A faint fragrance flashed by, and was soon completely covered up by the hot aroma from the snack street.

Xu Huan fell into a brief period of confusion.

He was a little puzzled by Hu Teng's behavior. All in all, they had known each other for no more than five days, and the acquaintance was not very pleasant in the beginning. How come he was suddenly kissed like this?

A little sudden.

When facing female enemies, such as female spies, he also experienced being used as a "honey trap" by the other party, but he was mentally firm at that time and was not at all confused like he is now.

Am I being affected by the mental energy of the ship girl?

"Commander....How do you feel?"

When Hu Teng saw the reaction he wanted, his cold face could no longer hide a smile, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a beautiful arc.

"...Among shipgirls, is the meaning of a kiss different from that of humans? Hu Teng."

"Commander... Would you rather think that the kiss between a ship girl and a human has a different meaning than that I like you?" Hu Teng took two large pieces of barbecue from the stall owner and handed one of them to Xu Huan.

"We have known each other for such a short time. Anyone who thinks this way is a bit narcissistic."

Xu Huan took the barbecue and shook his head. He directly ruled out the idea that she liked him, which sounded unreliable.

“How does this barbecue taste?”

"It's OK, but not as good as canned starfish..."

Hu Teng nodded slightly, remembered the can of starfish, and then continued the previous topic:

"In fact, the feelings of shipgirls are different from those of humans... Commander will understand it later."

"Not quite the same? What do you mean?"

Hu Teng suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked behind Xu Huan. After a while, he continued speaking:

"Most of the ship girls have passionate and fierce emotions... Commander, you must be careful with them in the future."

Xu Huan realized that Hu Teng seemed to be hinting at something, so he turned around.

In the distance, among the bustling crowd, Royal Fortune was staring blankly at the two people standing in front of the barbecue stall.

Their eyes met, and then she lowered her head slightly and pressed the pendant on her chest with her palm.

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

Port Royal.

In a beautifully decorated garden, the golden sunlight shines on the golden roof of the central palace, reflecting a dazzling light, as if shrouding the entire palace in a sacred halo. The tiles on the roof are finely carved, and each one seems to tell an ancient story.

Such a magnificent building would be extremely eye-catching anywhere, but it appears very ordinary among the continuous royal palace complex.

Inside the palace, a ship girl with long golden hair was buried in front of a desk, writing something.

Because the files on the desk were piled up a little too high, most of the KanColle's head was surrounded by files, except for her two very distinctive 'little ears' made of hair.

"The arrangements for the day after tomorrow....that's probably it."

The ship girl who had finally completed her mission leaned weakly on the seat behind her and stretched hard.

Recently, the Sirens have been active frequently, and His Majesty has started to be lazy again, so all the extra documents that need to be processed have naturally been delivered to her.

But there is no way, because she is war-weary...

One of the most representative ship girls in the Royal Family besides Elizabeth.

"It's rare that I've finished all my work. I need to take a good rest for the rest of the day..."

After finishing the finishing work easily and happily, Yanzhan poured a cup of hot black tea, sat on a chair, and began to think about how to spend this rare leisurely half day.

“Ring, ring, ring—”

The rapid ringing of the phone interrupted Yan Zhan's thoughts. She regained consciousness, turned on the communication device, and the words "Befa" on it caught her eye.

"That's strange... At this time, she should still be on duty at the city's teleportation point, right? How come she has time to call me... Has the teleportation point been invaded?" Yan Zhan was a little confused.

The call was connected, and Befa's weak voice came from the other end.

"Hey, Warspite, can you hear me?"

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the teleportation point?" When he heard that Befa's voice seemed abnormal, Yan Zhan immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Yes... Someone visited the teleport point today, he——"

"Human?" War-weary asked immediately.

"Yes...he—"

"No? My mental energy was just refilled a few days ago, so there shouldn't be any problems again in such a short time... But, what's wrong with your voice? Are you sick?"

"...Let me finish what I'm saying first." Beifa took a deep breath:

"The person who came today is the master."

Chapter 21 The Big One is Coming

The crowd was noisy and bustling, but Royal Wealth at this moment only thought they were noisy.

She had been here for quite some time. When she first saw Xu Huan and Hu Teng, she wanted to go up and say hello. But when she saw them holding hands, she hesitated again. In the end, she chose to just stand by and watch silently.

Then she saw Hu Teng standing on tiptoe and gently kissing Xu Huan on the face.

She froze in place.

The relationship between the two...has it reached this point?

Go shopping together, hold hands, and even kiss...

If you don’t look at the expressions on their faces, everyone would think they are a couple in love, right?

How could one of my crew members inexplicably have this kind of relationship with others?

Royal Fortune felt a little blocked in her heart, and she didn't know why she felt so inexplicably uncomfortable.

It was as if something was about to be snatched away.

No, it has been stolen.

It even felt worse than when half of his belongings were confiscated by the royal ship girls.

The girl pressed the crystal pendant given by Xu Huan on her chest, thinking that it would help her calm down a little, just like when she was chatting with Hu Teng on the boat before.

But this time, the crystal pendant did not bring the soothing calmness, but made her even more irritated.
