How to fall in love with a ship girl?

According to what this book says, is it most likely a parallel universe?

Xu Huan put down the book and picked up another book related to Ship Girls and Sirens to look at.

"Hmm...it seems you're not as weak as you thought."

The humans on this planet also put up a very fierce resistance when the Sirens first appeared. No one wanted to give up the place where they lived.

However, the generation of Sirens seems to be endless. No matter how hard one tries, they cannot eliminate all of them. Wave after wave of regeneration makes humans tired. In addition, Sirens also have many weapons related to mental energy. In order to ensure the continuation of the race, most of the remaining humans have retreated directly into the inland.

Xu Huan naturally knew how terrifying the suppressive power of a race that mastered psychic weapons would be on people with the current level of technological development.

After flipping through it again and getting a general understanding of the Siren's information, Xu Huan came to the page of the ship girl.

"Except for ship equipment and mental energy, it can almost be said that there is no essential difference between ship girls and humans..." The young man read out the contents of the document in a low voice.

"Master, do you have any doubts about this sentence?" Befa had been standing there for a long time, and immediately asked with concern when he heard it.

"one question."

"Please tell me."

"Can this sentence be understood as, there is no reproductive isolation between you and me?"

Chapter 31 Iris

Reproductive isolation refers to an isolation mechanism in which, due to various reasons, closely related groups do not mate under natural conditions, or even if they can mate, they cannot produce offspring or cannot produce fertile offspring.

For eukaryotes, no matter how different they are in morphology, reproductive isolation should be the key to whether two groups can truly differentiate into different species.

In layman's terms, whether there is reproductive isolation is the key to determining whether ship girls and humans are the same species.

Xu Huan asked this question seriously, but there was some ambiguity in his words.

Or ambiguity and offense.

Beifa was silent for a long time after hearing this. If Xu Huan had not had a serious face and clear eyes, it would have been impossible to tell that he had any evil intentions. Otherwise, the misunderstanding in her heart would have been even worse.

Until a blush quietly appeared on her pretty face, the ship girl answered with a somewhat evasive look: "Master, this question... Belfa doesn't know either."

"However, the birth of a ship girl is mainly provided by the Mind Cube, but the Mind Cube generally provides the mental energy and ship equipment in the body. As for the ship girl herself, there is nothing special about her. If there is no ship equipment and mental energy, then it is also possible to say that the ship girl should be regarded as a very strong and powerful human being..."

"To put it simply, it means splitting the word 'KanColle' into two parts: the 'ship' part and the 'girl' part?" After listening to Befa's explanation, Xu Huan suddenly understood a little.

So, according to this statement, KanColle is also part of human beings?

What about the Siren?

Xu Huan thought for a moment and asked again: "Then there is reproduction with the Siren——"

But this time, before Xu Huan could finish, Beifa interrupted him and said, "No, you can't do that to the Siren. Master...it's okay for the ship girl, but as a commander, you can't and shouldn't have any improper thoughts about the Siren."

The Siren's improper behavior is like a flood and a beast, which can easily endanger the commander. She can't just sit there and do nothing.

"...What improper thoughts? Befa, I am conducting scientific research, not planning to do anything weird."

I just taught the other party a lesson yesterday, how could I be thinking about him again today?

Xu Huan felt that he was still a normal person and did not have any special habits.

The young man held his forehead with his hand helplessly, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Well, it tastes good, the tea leaves and the technique are very good.

"Ahem, sorry Master, it was Befa who overthought, and regarding this question... Befa is not very clear."

The previous interruption was completely a subconscious behavior of the head maid. Now realizing that she seemed to have a serious misunderstanding, Befa coughed twice to cover up her embarrassment and brought the topic back on track.

"But you'd better not have too much contact with Sirens, especially those advanced humanoid Sirens. They have extraordinary mental energy."

Xu Huan nodded, he was clear about this.

From the name of Siren, we can see that it has another meaning. It is homophonic with Xiren. Her alias is Acheloids, which means "children of Achelous". It is a monster with a human head and a bird body in the ancient mythology of the earth. It often wanders between reefs or ships in the sea and is also called a sea monster.

In mythology, she is portrayed as a mermaid with a human face and a fish body. She often flies over the sea and has a voice like the sound of nature. She often uses her singing to seduce passing sailors and cause their ships to run aground and sink, making them her meal.

To sum up, Siren should have some kind of power that can charm people (at least in appearance), but because Xu Huan has not yet encountered any advanced humanoid Sirens, the source and composition of their power is not very clear.

However, Xu Huan had nothing to worry about. Judging from the development and mastery of mental energy by the several ship girls he had met so far, the Siren, as their opponent, should not have a huge advantage. So with his level of mastery of psychic mind, it should be difficult for him to be charmed and surrender to the enemy.

When people concentrate on doing something, time always passes quickly.

The entire learning process lasted for a long time, until the aroma of food began to linger at the tip of his nose and the gluttony in his stomach was suddenly awakened. Only then did Xu Huan belatedly jump out of the sea of ​​books.

Outside the window, the sun had already climbed to the center of the sky at some point. A slight hot breath filled the port area, and the air gradually became a little distorted, but the room he was in was still cool.

Xu Huan looked up and found that the air conditioner in the room had been turned on at some point. This was the most suitable temperature for the human body, and Befa, who was standing next to him, pushed a food cart in without his knowledge.

"I saw that you were immersed in your book, so I didn't remind you. But the smell of the food was more effective than I thought... Did I disturb you, Master?"

"No, the time is just right." Xu Huan stretched.

"sorry to bother you..."

This kind of life where everything is provided for you is indeed quite convenient.

"My duty, Master. This is made by the best chef in the port area. He previously studied in the port area of ​​Vichy Iris."

Beifa helped Xu Huan put the books in order, and then brought up one large plate after another.

The aroma is tempting, the color is fresh, and the presentation is exquisite.

Only two small pieces though.

When Xu Huan saw that there were only two pieces of beef in the middle of such a large plate, his mouth twitched subconsciously.

This dish looks delicious, but I'm afraid it's not even enough to fill my stomach.

Xu Huan looked at another plate, which was of the same size and had the same amount of food.

Appetizer + soup + main course + dessert, most French meals are in this style.

It was very formal, very delicate and tasted good, but Xu Huan himself felt a bit like a wild boar that couldn't eat the fine bran.

As a soldier, he prefers big pieces of fragrant meat or rich desserts that can make people feel happy, which can not only replenish sufficient energy but also soothe the soul.

If the situation is critical, compressed dry food or a direct injection of nutritional reagents can also be used.

If you live with this amount for a while...

I estimated that not only would I not be able to recover, but I would also lose a lot of weight.

However, looking at Befa's expectant expression, he hesitated for a while, and finally used a very tactful way to remind him. After all, living in someone else's house and eating other people's food, although it can be understood as a reward for one's labor, it is still impossible to make a request too directly.

"Master, how do you feel?"

“Very delicious, thank you for the service…..Maybe the portion will be bigger next time.”

Chapter 32 Rose

"Also, have you ever been to... Chef Manchu who went to Donghuang for further studies?"

"Donghuang? It's quite far from us, so there is no chef in the camp who has been to Donghuang for further training... Master, do you like Donghuang dishes?" Befa kept the insufficient portion in mind and asked curiously.

Due to the distance, there is not much communication between the royal family and Donghuang.

Xu Huan smiled, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes: "Well... I used to eat it often when I was in my hometown, so I'm used to it. And I also want to try the Donghuang cuisine here..."

The home planet of the Human Union is also fundamentally the Earth, but it is more appropriate to start with Deneb.

There are also Donghuang people from the original Earth in Tianjin No. 4 Middle School, and they account for a considerable population. Xu Huan is naturally one of them.

It was because of this group of people that Donghuang cuisine was introduced to Tianjin and developed a unique flavor that was different from the original eight major cuisines. It is also what Xu Huan has been eating since he was a child.

As for the Donghuang cuisine on Earth...Xu Huan has never tasted it, so he is very curious.

Beifa said: "It is still difficult to find chefs from Donghuang. There are probably Donghuang restaurants in human cities. If you don't mind the trouble, you can go and try it. But most of them have been improved and integrated with our royal flavor. It is a bit difficult to find the authentic ones, but..."

"But what?" The young man was curious.

When hearing the previous words, Xu Huan had already planned to give up, but there was a sudden turn of events at the end of Beifa's words.

"There is a ship girl in our royal family who has some connections with Donghuang. Although I have never heard that she is good at cooking Donghuang dishes, the master can try it."

"Who?"

"It's what I mentioned to the master this morning..." Befa opened the closed window a little again, and a faint rose scent immediately came in impatiently.

"Aurora, by the way, she has another name."

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

That evening, after another afternoon of study, Xu Huan followed Beifa's advice and came to an equally secluded small garden.

He rarely visited someone directly for a simple need, let alone a meal.

But Aurora's other name was very meaningful to him - he had heard this name countless times from his elders in his family before he grew up.

And that name is also the real reason for this proactive visit.

The silver-haired head maid was originally going to accompany him, but Xu Huan felt bad for troubling her for a whole day, so he simply found a reason to refuse and asked her to go back to her own business.

This garden is not far from where he lives, which is why the faint scent of roses can be smelled in the house where Xu Huan lives every day.

Beside the cobblestone path, clusters of roses lie quietly in the evening sunlight, orange and red intersecting into a blur, as if flashing a slight glow, exuding a refreshing fragrance.

The roadside gardens are very neatly maintained, the soil is in the most moist state, and there is not a single weed to be seen. It can be seen that the owner of the garden is very hardworking and takes care of it regularly.

As soon as Xu Huang finished thinking this, he stopped.

Not far away, a girl in a white dress and long golden hair was squatting on the ground, holding a small hoe, apparently weeding and loosening the soil in the garden.

She was concentrating on the work in her hands, her emerald green eyes staring at her garden meticulously. Occasionally, a few drops of sweat slid down her tender face. Perhaps because of the hard work, her originally fair skin looked a little red under the sunlight.

Perhaps she sensed something, or perhaps it was the elongated shadows of dusk casting a shadow on her side. In any case, the girl's movements paused slightly.

Then she raised her head and looked over with her emerald eyes, then stood up hastily.

She has a cute face and still looks childish, but her chest is so heavy that it doesn't match her pretty face at all.

The girl was a little nervous, and even the action of taking off her gloves was a little flustered. She patted her chest and showed a smile that looked very decent but could not hide her nervousness.

"Hello, Commander..."

"Does my coming bother you? Why are you so nervous?"

Xu Huan was not surprised that the other party knew his identity. Aurora lived so close to him, so she had probably been told.

"Ah, no... Miss Belfa told me that you lived not far away, I just didn't expect to meet you so soon." Aurora shook her head and denied it, then said: "I saw you last night, but you didn't seem to be in a good state at that time, so I didn't go up to say hello."

After saying a lot, Aurora suddenly realized that she seemed to have not formally introduced herself yet. Maybe the commander didn't even know her name, so she lifted her skirt and bowed slightly:

"Well, I don't think I've introduced myself yet... Hello, Commander. I'm the fourth Aretosha-class light cruiser - Aurora."

Looking at the ship girl in front of him holding up her skirt, Xu Huan suddenly felt a little confused.

According to what Hu Teng said to himself before, in addition to having the affinity of mental energy, the most important thing to become a commander is to get the recognition of the ship girl...

And I have met so many Royal Ship Girls, including Aurora in front of me. Why did I get their recognition without doing anything?

It was the first time we met, and even the commander was called...

The reasons for Glory, Belfa, and even the ship girl named Monarch can all be understood as being due to their own strength. Warspite can be understood as the reason why she helped the Royal Family a lot. What about Aurora in front of him?

The overall attitude of the Royal Fleet Girls seems to be naturally closer than that of other factions? Or is there some other reason?

Xu Huan couldn't figure it out clearly. So far, he had only encountered two ship girls outside the Royal Camp, Little Octopus and Hu Teng. The sample size was too small, so he couldn't make a judgment easily.

"Um, Commander..." Aurora waited for a long time without getting a response, so she raised her head, her pale green eyes filled with confusion.

Did you do something wrong?

"Oh, sorry... I just suddenly thought of something." Xu Huan quickly put aside his doubts and returned a salute to Aurora.

"Xu Huan, please give me more advice."

Chapter 33 Preparation

From the outside, Aurora's house looks no different from the house where Xu Huan lives. Both are small two-story villas.

It should be said that except for the central palace, all other royal buildings look the same, especially in the eyes of Xu Huan, an outsider who knows nothing about architecture.
