How to fall in love with a ship girl?

In a secluded little courtyard.

This was the first time Xu Huan woke up in bed since coming to this planet.

The curtains were gently drawn open, and the morning sunlight shone through the window onto the bed. The bed quilt must have been made of top-quality fabrics, which emitted a faint fragrance and also allowed Xu Huan's tired body to get enough relaxation.

When he woke up, there was a silver-haired figure in the room. It was the royal maid, Befa.

"The morning sun is not as scorching as the noon sun. This is the time when the sun is the gentlest in the day, master." The ship girl said, gently opening the window.

The fragrance of roses, with a hint of moist grass and soil, was blown in by the wind along with the birds' chirping in the morning.

"You can smell a little rose scent in the air. That's Aurora's little garden. If you don't like it—"

"Are you going to ask people to remove the garden if I don't like it?"

Xu Huan waved his hand.

Chapter 29: Anything?

Looking at Befa in the room, while they were chatting, Xu Huan also realized a problem.

The side effects of my medicine seem to be more serious than expected.

When I was sleeping, I didn't feel anything at all when such a big person entered my room.

Or am I taking it too easy?

Pressing his forehead, feeling the slight pain coming from his brain, the young man sighed slowly.

It's a very familiar feeling, and it's not pleasant.

The room was not big. When Beifa heard Xu Huan sigh, he immediately cast a caring look at him.

"Master, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

After returning to the Royal Family yesterday, a pink-haired ship girl named Perseus gave Xu Huan a thorough physical examination. After confirming that there were no other problems with his physical condition except for excessive fatigue, she let him go and let him live in this relatively secluded courtyard.

"It's okay, I'm used to it..."

Xu Huan shook his head and was about to get out of bed, but Beifa pushed a small cart similar to a dining cart and stopped beside him.

Not only are the toiletries arranged in layers on it, but even the young man's tastes are carefully taken into consideration. Different types of breakfast and condiments can be seen on it. Most of them are covered with transparent covers, and the hot steam from some of the food covers them, making them look moist.

"These are the washing utensils, and today's breakfast. Since I don't know your taste, I prepared a few extra portions."

Xu Huan looked up and met Beifa's eyes.

"What's wrong? Master..."

The ship girl nodded slightly: "Is there anything else you need to add? As long as it is something that the Royal Family can do, Belfa can solve it for you."

"I just don't think it's necessary..." Xu Huan was a little helpless: "I just feel a little uncomfortable, but I'm not disabled..."

Judging from the way Befa was doing, I could probably stay in bed all day and finish all my tasks right there.

"Master, for your recovery, this place is relatively remote and quiet, and I have also mentioned it to a few ship girls in the port area. If there is nothing important, they generally will not take the initiative to disturb you..."

Strictly speaking, out of protection for Xu Huan, they didn't even tell Elizabeth.

The ship girl explained: "In other words, all the daily supplies and three meals that the master needs will be temporarily taken care of and accompanied by a special person...that is me. If you are not satisfied with anything, Miss War-weary will not let me go easily."

Beifa finished speaking, looked into Xu Huan's eyes and added: "I can't do it myself."

"Row."

Considering the other party's identity as the head maid, Xu Huan finally chose to adapt to the local customs.

But just as he was about to reach for the toiletries, the ship girl lifted out a small basin of hot water from the bottom layer of the cart, soaked part of the towel in it, and then gently covered the back of Xu Huan's hand.

"Do you think this temperature is appropriate?"

"....suitable."

After getting the young man's answer, Befa nodded and then picked up the toothbrush, squeezed the toothpaste, and wrung the wet towel to the right degree.

Looking at the actions of the ship girl, Xu Huan suddenly felt a sense of worry in his heart.

It would be fine if you just help push the cart to the bed, but do you want help washing my face and brushing my teeth too?

Just thinking about it, the next second.

Beifa picked up the toothbrush and water cup: "Master...please open your mouth."

"I'll do this myself... I'm not used to being taken care of like this."

The young man was a little embarrassed and immediately refused, "Everything else is fine, but please let me do this myself."

"This is Belfa's duty, master." The ship girl still maintained a decent smile.

"No."

After repeated requests, she was still rejected. Seeing that the person in front of her was so resistant, the ship girl felt a little regretful for her who pursued perfection in everything. In the end, she left the so-called nursing care to Xu Huan himself.

Another thing to mention here is that after being transformed by countless reagents and blessed by spiritual energy, although Xu Huan is still a human being with flesh and blood, his daily body hygiene no longer requires as frequent "maintenance" as ordinary people. Most of the so-called hygienic behaviors are based on habits developed over many years and provide psychological comfort.

After a simple wash, Beifa also wanted to serve Xu Huan dinner, but was rejected by Xu Huan again.

However, when he saw Xu Huan putting the food he prepared into his mouth one bite at a time, Beifa felt a great sense of satisfaction in his heart, which was more of a sense of accomplishment than seeing the well-organized and clean port area before.

However, what the chef cares most about is the diners' evaluation.

"Master, how does it taste? Is it to your liking?"

"Nutritious and not too greasy..."

Xu Huan looked at the very simple dish of eggs, milk and fried bacon on the plate in front of him, and thought of many words of praise in his mind, but in the end he chose to express it honestly.

The milk is fragrant, the eggs are fried just right, with a little bit of sugary filling sliding down the pastry, and the bacon is cooked just right, without feeling greasy at all.

Everything was excellent.

To be honest, the cooking skills of the royal head maid are definitely much better than the barbecue restaurant we ate at in the city before. Simple ingredients can produce such delicious food. I can only say that she is worthy of the identity of the head maid.

But unfortunately, it is still not as good as canned starfish.

No matter how carefully this ordinary breakfast is prepared, the taste is still a little different from that of the starfish, which has its meaty texture and fertility directly engraved in its genes.

"As long as you like it, master." After getting the satisfactory answer he wanted, Befa unconsciously curled the corners of his mouth.

Although the royal palace is a food desert, it is only because there are few dishes and has little to do with the quality of one's cooking skills.

Don’t attribute faction stereotypes to individual ship girls.

What's more, if the royal dishes are not good, don't we still have Iris Vichy and Sardinia dishes that we can borrow and use?

"By the way, Befa..."

Xu Huan was eating breakfast when he suddenly remembered something.

"What's wrong, Master?"

"Didn't you just say that as long as the request is something you or the royal family can do, you can just make it directly?"

"Yes, Master. In theory, anything in the Royal Palace can be provided to you directly... Is there anything you want?"

"Anything?"

Xu Huan asked again to confirm.

Chapter 30 Reproductive isolation?

"Yes Master."

Beifa had just finished answering when she saw Xu Huan repeatedly testing her. Some inexplicable images flashed through her mind subconsciously. A trace of surprise flashed across her pretty face. Then she immediately added: "But some things are still not possible... After all, Master, you have just visited the port area, and some things... depend on the personal wishes of your companions."

Although he has been recognized by many ship girls such as Guanghui and himself, in Beifa's opinion, Xu Huan and his companions have only known each other for a short time. If he wants that kind of intimate service on the first day...

It's very easy to embarrass others, and it will change the views of many of his companions, including himself, on him. And that kind of thing...at least it should be done by lovers, right?

Should I find an opportunity to correct it in the future? After all, correcting the master's character is also one of the maid's responsibilities.

Thinking of this, Befa looked at the young man with a hint of strangeness in his expression, and finally even gradually became a little indifferent.

"What personal wish? Beifa, what are you talking about?" Xu Huan frowned.

Why does he feel that the ship girl in front of him doesn't think the same as he does? He hasn't even put forward his request yet, is the other party mistaken in something...

"Some matters concerning companions really need to be based on their personal wishes. I have no say in this regard, Master." Befa explained seriously.

"I just want you to help me find something. Your royal family should have something like a library, right? Or a medium that is specifically responsible for storing knowledge content will also be fine."

"Hmm? Library? Yes..." The ship girl blinked.

It seemed that the master was much more serious than she expected.

"There are many valuable books in it, but not many people in the port area are interested in this area, so although the library is there, it is empty most of the time... Are you interested in this, Master?"

"I need some books on humanities and geography, and astronomy as well. They don't have to be too professional, and should focus on popular science. If possible, please also submit some information about Sirens and Shipgirls."

The most important thing right now is to collect information about this planet.

All these were the directions he had been thinking about collecting since he woke up, and were also one of his purposes for going to the city where humans gathered. However, he was interrupted by the sudden attack of the Siren.

Now that there is a more convenient opportunity, Xu Huan naturally cannot let it go.

He wanted to figure out his place.

"Okay, master."

Befa noted them all down in his mind, and then said goodbye after cleaning up breakfast.

Xu Huan originally thought that since he had made so many requests, the other party would probably need a long time to prepare. He was just planning to do some exercise, then go out to relax, and by the way, take a look at what the so-called royal camp was like, to make up for the fact that he didn't have time to appreciate the scenery yesterday because it was too late.

But Befa's efficiency was much higher than expected. Less than half an hour later, he came back pushing a cart with a pile of books and documents.

At this time, Xu Huan had just finished a simple strength training and was closing his eyes to feel his physical condition. He was surprised to see Befa move so quickly.

"So efficient? Thank you for your hard work."

"In the royal family, the master's orders must be the highest priority."

Beifa shook his head and cleaned up some desks in the room neatly. After arranging the documents neatly by category, he turned around and made a cup of hot tea for Xu Huan.

The whole set of movements was smooth and flowing. Xu Huan didn't even have to do anything. He just went to the shower room and changed into clean clothes and then he could start his work directly.

No wonder people like to have a secretary...it really saves people a lot of trouble.

"If you have any questions, you can ask me directly and I will give you the answers." Beifa watched Xu Huan sit down, stood beside him with his hands hanging down, and said with a smile.

"Trouble..."

Xu Huan nodded and began to look through the books and materials that Beifa had prepared for him.

I have to say that the information provided by the other party is very detailed and perfectly meets the requirement of being mainly popular science. There is basically nothing that is difficult to understand.

As time passed, Xu Huan learned more about the planet he was currently on.

only...

"SOL3?"

The more Xu Huan looked at it, the more familiar it seemed. Isn't this the home planet of the United Nations on Earth?

No, strictly speaking, it is the home planet of all mankind.

Both the Earth Union and the Human Union are composed of human beings, but the two sides have great differences in their philosophies.

Unlike the so-called pursuit of freedom and pro-foreignness of the Earth Union, which is extremely concerned about the welfare of alien races, the Human Union where Xu Huan belongs is a militaristic country with high national sentiment, but it does not practice authoritarianism, keep slaves, and has a more indifferent attitude towards alien races.

A "just right amount of indifference".

Xu Huan was too lazy to think about the superiority of the two people's ideas, but it was true that he did not have a good impression of non-human creatures.

But recently I heard that something seems to have happened in the Earth Union, it seems that a planet was blown up by a starfish, and I guess the trend of thought is also about to turn to the direction of militarism...

The Human Rights Union is one step ahead in this regard, and the existence of canned starfish is strong evidence.

Flipping through the history books and looking at the very familiar events, Xu Huan was even more certain that the planet he was currently on should be the Earth.

But it is slightly different from the Earth.

At least in his impression, although the Earth Alliance was a bit weird, it was not so bad that it could not even deal with a Siren, and now it had to retreat inland to ensure its survival.

There are also subtle differences in the timeline of major events between the two.
