How to fall in love with a ship girl?

Frederick said slowly: "Bismarck once told me that if you want to reduce the activity of the Sirens in a certain sea area, the best way is to destroy all the nearby Siren Fortresses... There are things in them that can affect the activity of the Sirens."

"Perhaps elite humanoids will not be affected by this, but if it is mass-produced sirens...the frequency and number of their appearances will be greatly reduced."

The main source of invasion on the sea is the endless supply of mass-produced Sirens that cannot be eliminated.

If the problem of mass-produced Sirens can be solved, then the threat posed by Sirens will be reduced by more than half.

"Does that mean... we need to eliminate their stronghold?"

"You could say that... the source of the information was revealed by Siren, who was working with Bismarck... I'm not too sure whether it's accurate or not."

"It's worth a try... it's better than having no clue at all..."

Xu Huan pondered for a moment and made a decision.

"but...."

"But what?"

"If you want to take down the entire Abyss Sea, the minimum combat power required is... at least the top combat power of at least two camps together... kid."

Frederick said: "Without you, my child, it would be somewhat difficult to unite the forces of the two camps. Otherwise... we would have made more attempts to enter the Abyss Sea."

"Keep trying...I'll always be watching over you~"

Chapter 109 The Abandoned Child

The weather in the royal family changes as easily as turning the pages of a book.

Before Xu Huan entered the hotel, it was a sunny day with white clouds outside. But when he came out after talking with Frederick, the blue sky and white clouds had disappeared, replaced by dark clouds and drizzle.

The rain-soaked tiles on the street vaguely reflected a few remaining bright colors in the sky. Xu Huan stretched out his hand, feeling the coolness of the raindrops that sneaked through the eaves and fell on his palm, and then he slowly took out an umbrella from the storage device.

Ever since Aurora picked him up late at night last time, he started to develop the habit of carrying an umbrella with him.

Holding an umbrella, the young man walked along the Royal Street, feeling troubled.

According to Frederick, in order to resolve the Abyss Sea, at least the top combat forces of the two camps would be needed.

The royal family can certainly be counted as one of them, but where can I find the other one?

Currently, the only two ship girls that have come into contact with me are the Royal Family and the Iron Blood, except for the Hurricane of the little octopus which can hardly exert much power.

"Iron Bloods... They seem to be much harder to deal with than the Royal Navy's shipgirls..."

Xu Huan said to himself.

Especially Bismarck...

Apart from anything else, from Frederick's few words we can tell how difficult this ship girl is to deal with. If we don't put out corresponding chips, it will be difficult to convince the other party to put in some effort.

Xu Huan did not think that he could directly command the other side just by relying on his position as a commander, or that he could just tremble his body, release his domineering aura, and have all the iron-blooded people surrender.

Just think about this kind of thing that is similar to the plot in science fiction novels...

"The next destination...should we go to the Iron Blood? But we have to deal with the Royal Family's affairs first...hmm?"

Xu Huan was thinking about it, and just as he turned the corner, he saw a scene that made him feel overwhelmed.

Under a street lamp not far away, a ship girl with long ochre hair was squatting next to a cardboard box.

Inside the cardboard box was a bunch of toys that had been abandoned for various reasons, and a somewhat worn-out plush puppy was the most eye-catching among them.

The needle and thread went back and forth on it many times, but it still could not escape the erosion of time. The originally bright and shiny hair became a little messy and gloomy, and looked even more shabby under the stain of rain.

The ship suit squatted beside the cardboard box, his purple eyes staring at the plush toy motionlessly.

Fine raindrops slapped on her face, condensing into water droplets that kept sliding down her pretty face. The military uniform she was wearing and the military cap on her head were all wet, and her long ochre hair was wet and stuck to her face.

Judging from the appearance alone, the ship girl in front of him looked more like an abandoned one than the pile of toys.

"This is... Your Majesty? Is there something wrong?"

Xu Huan held an umbrella and frowned as he looked at the ship girl squatting on the ground in the distance.

The monarch's appearance at this moment is completely different from the demeanor he showed yesterday when he was fighting with the two iron-blooded ship girls on the sea, which makes people a little confused.

He did not speak out directly to disturb the other party, but walked silently behind the ship girl.

Raise your umbrella and stop all the rain from falling on the monarch.

The ship girl seemed to notice that the rain above her head was beginning to disappear. She raised her somewhat dejected eyes and glanced behind her.

"commander...."

She called out softly as a greeting, then lowered her head and stared silently at the discarded toys in the cardboard box in front of her.

Things didn't seem as simple as imagined. Xu Huan hesitated for a while, then squatted down as well.

"....Is there anything difficult to deal with?"

"No...Commander."

The monarch still looked at the stuffed animal in front of him and shook his head.

"Then...is this yours?" Xu Huan followed the ship girl's gaze, but could not see anything special about the shabby toy puppy.

“Not really…”

The monarch buried half of his face in his arms, and his voice became muffled.

Since she didn't say anything, Xu Huan didn't ask any more questions, but the hand holding the umbrella never moved, just blocking the ship girl.

Looking at the toy puppy thrown here, Xu Huan hesitated for a while, opened the storage device again, found a small piece of material that could shelter from the rain, and placed it on top of the toy box.

"Okay... now we won't get wet in the rain..."

The monarch raised his head and glanced at Xu Huan.

"how?"

"Nothing... Commander." The monarch shook his head slowly and lowered his head again.

But this time she wanted to speak more than before.

"Same... abandoned child..." the monarch murmured softly, the tiny sound from his mouth only slightly louder than the sound of raindrops hitting the leaves.

Xu Huan remained silent.

He had seen an introduction to the monarch in the materials.

Like Hutten, the Monarch's prototype was also a design proposal ship.

It is a design ship that has only appeared on the design drawings but has never been launched into the water.

But it is somewhat different from Hu Teng.

After the great war in history, the Royal Family saved the last face of the British Empire, but faced with the naval expansion plans of emerging naval powers such as the White Eagle Kingdom and the Sakura Empire, the Royal Family was unable to cope with such a naval arms race, so the naval treaty came into being.

Under the restrictions of the treaty, the Monarch had to be abandoned as a better design than the KGV.

The monarch undoubtedly had complicated feelings when facing the Royal Navy, which was once glorious but is now on the decline. It was obviously more superior but was about to be replaced.

She was a ship that had never existed in history, and she never even had the chance to be born. The position that originally belonged to her was taken away by someone else.

She wanted to prove herself urgently, and the unwillingness to be abandoned made her want to prove that she was the best all the time.

This resulted in the KanColle's somewhat paranoid personality and resentment towards the royal family.

This is also what Befa and Xu Huan said before, the reason why the monarch does not have a very good relationship with other royal ship girls in the port area, and insists on going out on rotation missions alone.

Xu Huan was not good at comforting people, so when faced with such a complicated situation, he didn't know what to say.

The young man sighed, slowly stretched out his hand, and gently placed it on the ship girl's wet shoulder.

The mental energy in the body began to mobilize, and a warm breath gradually began to enter the monarch's body.

The chill brought by the rain was gradually dissipated. The monarch moved his lips and was about to say something, but he found that the box in front of him was picked up by the young man at some point.

"Let's go home first."

Chapter 110: Exactly the same

The monarch was wiping his hair, his plump and tall figure was tightly wrapped in a yukata from top to bottom, and his body was still steaming from the bath.

She walked into the living room, leaned against the door, and looked at the young man sitting on the sofa.

At this time, Xu Huan was holding the stuffed toy puppy he had just picked up from outside, and needle and thread in his hand, looking a little at a loss.

He knew very well how to suture wounds simply and quickly on the battlefield, so it shouldn't be difficult to sew up a toy like this.

But the toy still had to consider its aesthetic appearance. Every time he sewed halfway, the old cotton on the other side always tended to pop out. This made him feel a little troubled.

A warm fragrance gradually came from behind, and Xu Huan put the toys back into the box.

"Have you finished washing?"

"Um... Commander."

The monarch's condition is much better now than when he was on the street just now. Although his tone is still cold, he at least responds more when he speaks.

The monarch rolled up the hem of his towel and found a seat on the sofa.

"Today is... a time for love?"

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Commander..."

The ship girl did not deny it and nodded slightly.

"Um....."

Seeing the ship girl admit it so directly, Xu Huan was unable to utter the many words of persuasion he had just prepared for a moment, and could only pretend to nod thoughtfully.

There are people in the army who have had psychological problems, but they are all counseled by professional mental health personnel, and have nothing to do with Xu Huan.

Moreover, Xu Huan is usually the one who causes people to have psychological problems.

Therefore, it would be a bit awkward for the young man to play the role of a psychological counselor at this time, so after hesitating for a while, he changed the topic and talked about business.

"Uh... I don't know if you, my lord, have received any notification from Beifa... According to the process, even if you haven't, it should be soon." Xu Huan said, "From now on... you can't carry out your rotation missions alone."

Speaking of this, the monarch frowned and shook his head subconsciously.

"I don't need anyone else to help me..."

"I recognize your strength, Your Majesty... But this is the rule of the port area, and even I have to abide by it... No one can be an exception, not even Elizabeth."

Xu Huan tapped his fingers lightly: "You should have heard that Elizabeth also went on a mission recently..."

After a long silence, the monarch looked at the stuffed puppy in the box again, and then reluctantly gave in: "...Then I can't be with the people from KGV."

"Okay...I can agree to this request..." Xu Huan nodded.

He had no intention of bringing the two sides together.

Maybe the relationship between the two sides will be eased in the future and not so tense, but at least for now...

Xu Huan felt that it would be most appropriate for him to do it himself.

"Then can I ask who will be my partner next time I take over?" the monarch asked again.

"it's me..."

Xu Huan replied.

Upon hearing this, a trace of obvious surprise flashed across the ship girl's face.

"What's wrong? If you have any objections to me, I can arrange someone else..."

"No...no problem with you, Commander."

The monarch seemed to be slightly relieved and explained, "I was just a little surprised that I would have to partner with you, the Commander..."

"Not surprising, I should get used to it in the future."

Xu Huan stood up and stretched: "Okay, okay, I won't bother you anymore... Remember to contact me directly if you have anything in the future..."

"Okay...Have a nice day, Commander."

The monarch sent Xu Huan to the door and watched the young man's figure gradually go away. After a long time, he finally realized what was happening and raised his hand, gently waving in the direction where Xu Huan was leaving.

The monarch realized that her movements were a little too slow, smiled self-deprecatingly, and returned to the living room. She wanted to go straight back to the bedroom, but when she looked at the box on the sofa and coffee table, her steps gradually stopped unconsciously.

Not knowing what she was thinking of, the ship girl walked to the box, picked up the toy dog ​​that Xu Huan had sewn to look a bit messy, and weighed it gently.
