How to fall in love with a ship girl?

"Ah... Sister Frederick is still easy to talk to..."

"So who is the one who is difficult to talk to?"

Hu Teng on the side suddenly interrupted.

Everyone's eyes subconsciously turned to the succubus beside them.

"Don't look at me...I rarely act unreasonable like this~~"

Hindenburg snorted and defended himself.

Ron chuckled.

"Okay, I didn't mean that..."

Z23 briefly recorded the incident in a notebook, raised her eyes slightly, and was about to say something when she suddenly saw a vague figure on the deck in the distance.

"Ugh?"

With a slightly startled expression, Z23 subconsciously stood on tiptoe to look at the deck.

Her appearance also attracted the attention of Ron, who was standing beside her, and he also looked over.

"Sister Frederick...it seems like there are other people on the ship...could there be guests this time?"

"Ah... well, I forgot to tell you just now, didn't we stay at the royal residence for a while? And as a courtesy, we did bring some guests from the royal residence back this time..."

"A royal guest..." Ron looked at the figure on the boat in the distance, a light flashed in his brown eyes, and he muttered to himself.

It's nothing to have guests from the Royal Family, but considering the recent rumors in the port area about the Commander in the Royal Family -

Ron swallowed lightly, and Z23 beside him also realized this after Ron's "reminder", and looked at Frederick again with a hint of inexplicable emotion.

A little excitement, some expectations and inner uneasiness.

Her blue-purple eyes flickered slightly, and she wanted to open her mouth to ask, but when she thought that her future commander might be on the deck watching her every move, she swallowed the words she was about to say silently.

This is... something related to the Commander...

I've been waiting for this for a long time, Commander.

Excessive expectations will turn into escape at this moment.

Z23 suddenly felt a little scared. If he didn't get the news he wanted to hear, he would probably be disappointed for a while.

The girl rubbed the corner of her clothes unconsciously. She looked at Ron beside her and saw approval of her behavior in his eyes.

Ron knew what Z23 wanted to ask, and he was also looking forward to the answer to this question.

After a moment of silence, Z23 mustered up his courage and looked at Frederick. His voice also lost some of its previous confidence and composure:

"That...Sister Frederick..."

Seeing the girl's hesitation, Frederick knew exactly what she was thinking. "I guess you want to ask about the commander, right?"

"Yes!!"

Frederick took the lead in solving the most critical part. Z23 just breathed a sigh of relief when he suddenly remembered something.

Since Frederick could guess that the question he wanted to ask was related to the commander, did that mean that on the ship at this moment—

Commander... is here too?

Z23 bit her pink lips with her pearly teeth, her eyes full of anticipation for Frederick's answer.

"In fact, you should have the corresponding answer in your mind, right?"

After Frederick answered, he saw that the girl looked a little stunned, and continued:

"Then I won't keep you in suspense. In fact, the commander is indeed with the Royal Family. Just as you guessed..."

The girl's breathing stagnated slightly when she heard that, and the tension in her heart suddenly reached its peak.

"The commander is now--"

"I'm watching on the deck...I should be coming down soon." The emperor smiled softly and turned half of his body to allow the people on the deck to see the two people in front of them clearly.

"what...."

Before Z23 could say anything, Ron beside him raised his head and stepped lightly.

"boom!"

There was a sonic boom, and the next second, the ship girl flew directly onto the deck.

".....Sister Ron?"

The girl looked at Ron's rapidly flashing figure, stunned, not knowing what to say.

On the other deck, Xu Huan also stood there in a daze as he looked at the short-haired ship girl who flashed in front of him.

He had learned the basic information about the Iron-Blooded Ship Girls, and when he saw two of them on the deck just now, Befa introduced Z23 and Ron to him.

In particular, he pointed out that Ron might need to pay more attention to his character, as he might not be able to control his desire to kill when on the battlefield.

Is it easy to get killed on the battlefield?

Xu Huan thought, isn't this the legendary war maniac type of person?

This type of people are not uncommon in the Human League, and the young man's sufficient experience tells him that to deal with such people, it is best to show strong strength.

Now seeing him rushing directly onto the deck, Xu Huan's stereotype of Ron as a so-called "battle maniac" was further deepened.

However, just as he was preparing to show off his muscles, the ship girl in front of him did the opposite of what he expected.

Ron looked the young man up and down, then curled his lips and showed a gentle smile: "Hello, I'm Ron... In the future, please take care of me..."

Chapter 206: Commander's Hand

The unexpected contrast made Xu Huan slightly stunned.

He had thought that Ron would be like the traditional portrayal of a battle maniac, wild and warlike, just like the humanoid siren he had met before. Although not ferocious, he would at least have some of those external characteristics.

For example, scars left on the battlefield.

But I never expected that Ron would be so... gentle when they first met?

Xu Huan had seen that watery smile on many people before, such as Glory and Aurora, both of whom were ship girls with very kind tempers and personalities and were easy to get along with.

Is it the same for Ron in front of me?

However, Befa's reminder could not be groundless. It is more likely that the ship girl in front of him is completely different in her daily life and on the battlefield.

This is what we usually call contrast.

The thoughts in his mind quickly passed by, and the young man was only slightly startled, then he recovered and stretched out his palm to the ship girl in front of him:

"Hello, Xu Huan."

Befa walked silently behind the young man with a vigilant look.

Seeing this, Ron took off his black gloves, revealing his white knuckles: "Xu Huan... It's a very good name, Commander. Judging from the name... Are you from Donghuang?"

"My ancestors are from Donghuang... But if you really want to be strict about it... yes."

There is no Donghuang in the Human Alliance, but the blood of Donghuang is indeed flowing in Xu Huan's body.

"Ah... I guessed it right..."

Ron clasped his hands gently, looked at the young man again for a while, and then under Befa's gaze, he consciously loosened his hands and put his gloves back on.

"The news will be notified to the port area soon. I hope the commander can have an unforgettable time in Iron Blood..."

"Thanks for the hospitality."

The conversation between the two was very polite and official, and at least for now, Xu Huan did not see any of the darker side of the rumors in Ron.

On the contrary, Ron behaved perfectly normal.

It was even a little too normal. After this period of contact, I felt that they were even more normal than the three Fredericks I had met before.

After the two men greeted each other, the remaining four people who were originally on the sea also returned to the deck.

After Z23 went up to the deck, he looked at the young man surrounded by the royal family and Ron, blinked his eyes, and his originally tense nerves relaxed a lot in an instant.

How to say it... Although we can't judge people by their appearance alone, excellent looks always win people's favor at first sight.

There is no doubt that the young man in the distance belongs to this category.

Before meeting the commander, the girl had imagined different things about him, but... after seeing the real person, she was still a little surprised.

It looks like... they should be easy to get along with, right?

Mustering up his courage, Z23 patted his chest gently, raised his head and walked forward.

Having practiced the lines for introducing herself countless times in her mind, the girl walked forward, met the young man's gaze, stood up straight, and saluted him directly.

"commander..."

She took a deep breath and said:

"I am the eldest sister of the 1936A-type destroyer, Z23. My younger sisters have only code names, unlike my older sisters who have inherited their predecessors' names."

"Although it may be a little inhumane, it is indeed more convenient, so please feel free to call me directly—"

"Z23, I remember you... You don't need to introduce yourself..."

Seeing the girl's overly serious and formal look, Xu Huan interrupted her self-introduction and said with a smile: "I read the document you sent before, it's well written..."

"Ugh?!"

The moment she had expected was suddenly interrupted by the young man, and coupled with the compliments that followed, Z23's pretty face turned slightly red with shyness: "Commander, you actually know my..."

The document that Xu Huan mentioned was indeed the one she spent nearly half a night to write. However, because the information about the commander appeared too suddenly, she thought it might be buried in the pile of documents for inquiries. She didn't expect that the commander would read the whole document she wrote and remember it.

"Yes...it's very powerful..." Xu Huan nodded with a smile, then stretched out his hand and gently shook it at the still dazed girl.

Z23 opened her eyes wide. The praise and the gazes from many other ship girls around her made her brain suddenly freeze. She didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Want to shake hands, Z23?"

"Ah...! Sorry, Commander!" The girl finally reacted and quickly stuffed her little hand into the other's palm.

In just a moment of contact, the rough touch from Xu Huan's hand startled Z23 slightly.

Different from the young man's clean and elegant appearance, his palms are a little rough. If you feel them carefully, you can even vaguely feel some tiny scars on them.

This is different from the palms that have never been touched by water. It seems to be rough after a long period of baptism and tempering, and has its own baptism.

It can bring people an inexplicable sense of security.

The girl subconsciously tightened her grip slightly, wanting to feel more warmth coming from it.

"As for my hands...even though I've had Befa's help maintaining them during this period, they're still a little rough..." Xu Huan also saw the inner thoughts of the girl in front of him and took the initiative to speak.

Hearing this, Beifa's eyes flashed with a trace of heartache, and he said softly: "This is also the proof of the source of your power, Master."

Ron on the side still had a kind smile on his face.

She had also noticed this when they were shaking hands just now.

This was also the reason why she subconsciously looked at the young man for a while longer.

The commander... must not be an ordinary person.

At least not an ordinary person who has never experienced combat.

"commander...."

Z23 didn't know what to say, and his other hand subconsciously stretched out and gently clamped Xu Huan's hand in the middle.

"This is the first time we meet, and you're taking advantage of the contractor in front of so many people? Little Nimi?"

On the side, Hindenburg looked at the blushing girl and couldn't help but make a joke.

These words had a great effect. As soon as they were finished, Z23 quickly pulled his hand back as if he had been electrocuted, and retorted with a stiff upper lip: "I don't mean to take advantage of you... Please don't talk nonsense, Sister Hindenburg!!"

"Okay, okay, now is not the time for you two to quarrel..." Frederick looked at the two who seemed to be about to quarrel, and spoke out to stop them:

"Notify the port area and tell them that we are back with the commander..."
