How to fall in love with a ship girl?

She was not like Befa. She was not yet able to calmly accept food from the commander, whom she had only met twice.

"Then please sit down first... Can we talk while we eat?"

Xu Huan asked out of politeness and naturally didn't expect the other party to accept it. After he finished speaking, he stuffed the remaining slices of bread into his mouth.

"Okay... Commander."

Tirpitz found a seat directly opposite and sat down. Facing the young man's calm and relaxed temperament, his originally slightly restrained mood relaxed a lot.

Befa smiled slightly, put his hands in front of him, and stood behind the young man.

"So...I wonder if Tirpitz wants to talk to me today about some plans?"

Chapter 213: Attitude towards Siren

Without much small talk, Xu Huan chose to get straight to the point.

Capable and direct.

This behavior was very consistent with the Iron-Blooded style of doing things, and it also surprised Tirpitz, who was sitting opposite him.

From the information from Ron and Z23, she knew that the young man in front of her was from Donghuang. According to her understanding of Donghuang, they were at a dinner party and this was just their second meeting, so the discussion on the matter should be gradual.

But since the other party is so direct, I am naturally happy about it.

"Commander, for a long time to come, I will be mainly responsible for your itinerary at Iron Blood..." Tirpitz said with a light cough.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute. You should relax at a time like this. Don't say 'you' or anything like that. It's too serious and I'm a little uncomfortable hearing it."

"Okay then... Commander." Tirpitz nodded and said again, "Since Sister Bismarck is busy with port affairs, I will be responsible for the commander's schedule in Iron Blood from now on."

"So I want to know what the commander thinks about Iron Blood. That is...anything you want to know, or what you think about Iron Blood, I can arrange these things."

"Let's not talk about other places for now. I have a few questions now..."

Xu Huan asked curiously, "First of all, what do you, the Iron Blood, think of the commander?"

"Uh...."

Are you asking so directly right away?

Tirpitz carefully considered his words and replied, "Although I cannot guarantee that all shipgirls have the same attitude towards their commanders, they can basically be described in one word - 'pursuit'."

"Pursue?"

"Yes, whether in terms of strength or other aspects, the commander's arrival will be of great benefit to Iron Blood, so everyone in Iron Blood welcomes the commander's arrival."

After Tirpitz finished speaking, he glanced at Befa who was standing behind the young man and added: "Although there may be slight differences in feeling, overall, our views on commanders should be exactly the same as those of the Royal Family."

Befa still had a polite smile on his face and didn't say much.

"That's it..."

Xu Huan nodded, raised his head and drank the last of the milk in the cup, then took the tissue handed to him by Beifa and wiped his mouth: "It's not much different from what I imagined... So, what is Iron Blood's attitude towards Siren?"

"hostility...."

Tirpitz didn't think about it and answered directly: "Iron Blood and Sirens have always been in a hostile attitude."

"Although it may be a bit offensive, I have some gossip here. I don't know if I should tell you..."

Upon hearing this, Tirpitz had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Commander, please speak."

"I heard...the Iron Blood's flagship, the Bismarck, has cooperation with the Siren in certain areas?"

As soon as Xu Huan said this, the restaurant fell into silence.

The silence was so suffocating that everyone could even hear the conversations of the ship girls passing by not far outside the window.

Although Beifa tried her best to remain calm, the question suddenly asked by Xu Huan made her pupils shrink slightly, and the corners of her eyes trembled unconsciously.

As a senior member of the royal family, she had heard the so-called "rumor" about the cooperation between Bismarck and Siren, but she had never found any solid evidence.

In the absence of reliable intelligence to confirm it, for a ship girl, or even a faction, to say that they have a cooperative relationship with the Sirens is a bit too heavy.

Therefore, even though he had some opinions about Iron Blood, Befa still did not tell other people about this news, and only a few people in the royal family knew about it.

At this time, the master asked so bluntly in person, and his tone seemed very confident, so he must have an exact source of information.

Are they the ones from Frederick?

Befa was thinking, and Tirpitz's mind was also a little confused.

Commander....Why do you know about this?

Not many people knew about this even in Iron Blood. If the commander came from the Royal Family, it would be impossible for him to notice it in such a short time...

Judging from the current situation, there is only one possibility left.

Is it Frederick and the others?

Tirpitz adjusted his breathing and calmed his restless heartbeat.

Originally, when Bismarck discussed with her about Frederick and his men, he was a little worried about the other party's attitude, but he didn't expect that he would tell the commander about the whole matter?

Unlike Bismarck, Tirpitz did not think that cooperating with the Sirens was the right thing to do.

But the key point at this time is not her own position, but that as the flagship of the Iron Blood, Bismarck's actions will more or less bear the mark of the Iron Blood.

Of course, the most important thing is that she is not clear about the commander's attitude towards this matter.

It is also impossible to find a random excuse to fool people. Since Xu Huan asked this question, it means that he is sure of it.

"This situation... exists." After a long silence, Tirpitz sighed and directly admitted the fact.

"Oh? Can you tell me more about it?"

Although Xu Huan had been mentally prepared for this matter because Frederick had given him a heads-up, he appeared very calm.

"I don't know the details. I just know that this happened, Commander."

After Tirpitz finished speaking, he saw Xu Huan's calm expression and couldn't help but add: "In fact, the comrades in the port area who know about the cooperation with Siren are basically opposed to it, Commander..."

"I understand what you mean. You want to say that this is Bismarck's personal behavior, right?"

Xu Huan tapped the table lightly with his fingers and said leisurely, "Kanmusu... I understand that the actions of the flagship in the port area should not be extended to the entire port area, and I also understand the attitude of opposition, otherwise I would not know about this matter, right?"

Tirpitz said nothing.

"Don't be so nervous, okay?"

Seeing Tirpitz's silence, Xu Huan smiled and said, "I will not easily make a conclusion before I know the whole story. And... Personally, I will keep an open mind about cooperating with Siren for the time being..."

"Ok?"

Tirpitz was a little surprised.

"Personally, I hate sirens and don't have a good impression of them..."

Xu Huan explained: "But as far as the current situation is concerned, there is still a long way to go to completely solve the problem of Sirens. If some of them can help, it is not impossible to try to contact them."

To put it bluntly, our strength is not enough, and we need to establish a so-called "cooperative government" to reduce the internal stability of the enemy.

If he could just crush it, Xu Huan wouldn't bother talking to Siren and would just clean it up.

Chapter 214: Pretend

About half an hour later, Tirpitz walked out of Xu Huan's residence in a daze.

The change in Xu Huan's attitude made her mood go up and down like a roller coaster. It was not until the young man finally said, "It's not time to give it a try" that she breathed a sigh of relief.

When she was in the house just now, she didn't know why she was so nervous, as if someone was gently strangling her throat. Even though the young man in front of her looked harmless, an invisible feeling of suffocation always surrounded her whole body.

She didn't understand why she, who was considered a veteran in many battles, had such a reaction. Especially when she looked at the commander, the feeling became even stronger.

That invisible feeling of oppression...

Thinking of this, Tirpitz gently patted his stuffy chest and felt a little better.

Although he could not find any evidence, Tirpitz felt that his sister's judgment was quite accurate based on his intuition and his feelings today.

Commander, you are not an ordinary person...

The source of that feeling of suffocation and oppression most likely came from that young man who looked very kind.

How did the other party do it, and...why did the other party do it?

Is it simply an expression of dissatisfaction with the cooperation between Iron Blood and Siren? Or is there another deeper meaning?

If there is dissatisfaction, why do you say you are open-minded?

In Iron Blood, the ship girl who has always been known as the "scholar-general" fell into a brief confusion at this moment. A series of questions and the suffocating feeling that still remained in her chest caused her brain to temporarily overload.

At the same time, in the detached villa.

"Master, did you do that on purpose just now?"

Befa was cleaning up the leftover dishes for Xu Huan, while Xu Huan was sitting in his original seat, holding the port map that he had just received from Tirpitz.

"What do you mean by intentional? What are you talking about, Befa?"

The young man still looked back and forth on the map and answered without turning his head.

"Befa noticed it just now... The master secretly used some intelligence on Miss Tirpitz..." Befa smiled and exposed Xu Huan's disguise.

Although Tirpitz could not detect it, as Befa had already established a mental energy connection with Xu Huan, she was already very sensitive to the mental energy aura of Xu Huan, so the slight fluctuation in the restaurant just now did not escape her perception.

However, as a royal ship girl, she was quite happy to see her master's action, so she played the role of a perfect actor, and only came over to inquire curiously after the victim left the house.

"Ah... Are you talking about this?" Xu Huan smiled a little embarrassedly, "I thought you didn't know..."

"Master, you are underestimating Befa..."

"But if you ask why, it's actually very simple..." The young man explained casually, "I just pretend in front of them..."

"Well....?!"

Befa, who thought that his master had some important considerations or long-term plans, was visibly stunned for a moment after hearing the young man's explanation.

"Master...are you doing this just to...pretend?" she asked doubtfully.

"what happened?"

Xu Huan stretched himself, changed into a very relaxed posture, covered his face with the map, and said with a smile: "Befa, you don't think I did this for deep considerations? Or long-term plans?"

"Yes... In Befa's eyes, the master generally won't do meaningless things when faced with such things..."

"Actually, what you said is not wrong, but there are always unexpected things..." Xu Huan smiled and replied, "Sometimes, if people use their brains too much, they will become lazy...too lazy to think about many things."

"Then you need to relax your mind at times like this... and follow your body's instincts."

"intuition?"

"Yes, in fact, not only you, Befa, want to understand why I did that in front of Tirpitz, but I also want to understand..."

"But in other words, doing something that has no meaning can sometimes become more meaningful."

After Xu Huan finished speaking, Beifa also understood what the young man wanted to express.

Although it sounds a bit confusing, it is quite simple to explain.

The young man's so-called action of "pretending" in front of Tirpitz did not involve any long-term considerations or ideas, but as long as others thought he did, then his goal was achieved.

For those ship girls who don't have any thoughts, this action has no meaning, but if those ship girls with more thoughts encounter it, they will probably not be able to help but have wild thoughts.

"Master... sometimes, I have some bad tastes... but from a side point of view, Master's actions are still considered..."

Befa walked to the young man, took off the map covering his face, and gently wiped his face with a hot and wet towel.

"No, actually. If they are willing to think about it, then they can think about it. But then again, it does feel good to pretend."

"This is not a good habit. As your maid, Belfa thinks it is necessary to correct your behavior..."

After saying this, Befa gently leaned down.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute~~~Let me catch my breath first——mmmm——"

The head maid is becoming more and more outrageous.

As the area in front of him was filled with two lumps of white fat, Xu Huan thought so in his heart.
