How do I start a romantic relationship with a ship girl?

"Isn't that right? Hmm...? What is this?" the monarch replied, suddenly drawn to the fragrant object in Xu Huan's hand.

"I just went to check on the progress at home, and then stopped by Aurora's house for a meal. This is what I brought back for you... You haven't eaten yet, have you? Aurora's cooking is really good, you should try it."

"Um...."

Just as Aurora had predicted, the monarch was initially slightly reluctant when she heard that the dishes in the food box were made by Aurora, but after Xu Huan said that, she no longer felt comfortable refusing.

Upon receiving the food box and opening it, an indescribable aroma immediately wafted out.

The mist emanating from the food gradually dissipated, revealing a delicious and visually appealing meal to the ship girls.

Over the past few days, the monarch had practiced cooking the dishes that Xu Huan liked, but the dishes he made were worlds apart from the dishes in front of him.

She paused, a sense of indescribable loss welling up inside her.

I feel like no matter how hard I try in this area... I can never catch up with the other person, right?

"How is it? It looks pretty good, right? Actually, the taste is quite good too. Why don't you try it?" Xu Huan sat to the side and smiled slightly when he saw the monarch's stunned expression.

This is Donghuang cuisine! Do you have any Donghuang dishes like this?

The monarch nodded silently, then somewhat awkwardly picked up his chopsticks, tried to pick up a few bites of food, and finally slowly chewed them along with the rice.

"How was it?" Xu Huan asked curiously.

"...As expected of Miss Aurora..."

The monarch sighed and silently put down his chopsticks.

The skill level before me is so exceptional that it's impossible to catch up with it through short-term training...

Is this the strength that the ship girl who is currently close to the young man possesses?

Was she deliberately preparing a meal for Xu Huan to bring to her this time to give herself a hint that she was overestimating herself? Was she implying that the gap between them in cooking had reached an almost insurmountable level?

So what are your strengths?

Contrary to Aurora's expectations, the monarch seemed to take the meal she casually prepared as a signal of demonstration and provocation.

Instead of easing the tension, it actually exacerbated the monarch's anxiety and sense of urgency.

If Aurora is like this, what about the other ship girls? Will they be even more...?

A series of thoughts made the monarch's mind somewhat chaotic. She looked up at the young man who was wearing a smug smile that seemed to say, "Isn't it delicious?" and felt even more agitated.

"Xu Huan... how's the house renovation going?" She took a deep breath and asked the question that concerned her most right now.

This involves her having a few days left.

"As for this..." Xu Huan carefully recalled and pondered the construction progress he had seen today: "It should take a few more days, right? Anyway, the pace is quite fast..."

"understood."

Hearing that there wasn't much time left, the monarch nodded, and the turmoil in his heart gradually subsided.

She has made her decision.

Historically, its prototype ship was replaced by another ship for certain special reasons.

Now that I am already here, and the people and things I care about are right beside me, it's even less likely that something like this will happen again.

Anyway...

Commanders must all bear her mark.

Based on the information the monarch has gathered over the past few days, the Ironblood ship girls have fully demonstrated the spirit of blitzkrieg tactics from history, moving incredibly fast and generally closing in on Xu Huan before the Royal Navy ship girls could react...

I need to learn from this experience myself.

After all, they didn't have a Maginot Line on their side...

The monarch pondered for a moment, then glanced at Xu Huan's room.

The half-open door seemed so fragile to her at that moment.

Chapter 144 Testing and Unconventional Inspection?

Xu Huan was unaware that the monarch was already planning how to take him down in a short time; he only knew that the other party seemed to have been rendered speechless by Aurora's skill.

If the Royal Navy ship girls are so skilled at cooking Eastern cuisine, then how good are the actual Eastern Navy ship girls?

Xu Huan understood that not every Eastern Huang ship girl was a master chef, but there should be some who were quite skilled in this area...

As the young man pondered this, the monarch also snapped out of his reverie.

"Xu Huan, do you have anything else planned for tonight? Like the mission from last time or something..."

"Tonight? Definitely not... I'll go to Perseus for a check-up later, and if nothing's wrong, I'm too lazy to go out tonight... Why are you suddenly asking this?"

The monarch suddenly brought up the so-called mission from last time, which made Xu Huan subconsciously become alert.

Judging from the ship girls' posture... are they planning to settle scores with them?

Xu Huan had a keen intuition and quickly grasped the monarch's true intentions.

It's just that the other party used a more moderate and more acceptable method to settle scores.

"It's nothing... I was just asking."

After confirming that Xu Huan should not be disturbed by any mission tonight, the monarch directly determined the time to launch his blitzkrieg.

It's today.

There's no time like the present, and this kind of thing doesn't require much prior discussion.

Just a little test will suffice...

The ship girl recalled that when she had just come out of the shower and stepped into the living room, even though she had wrapped herself up tightly, the young man's gaze still lingered on her for a moment.

Judging from Xu Huan's unintentional reaction at that time, the other party probably didn't dislike his body.

You don't need to like it... as long as you don't dislike it, it's fine.

But just to be on the safe side, we need to double-check...

Thinking this, the monarch looked directly at the young man, and before he could react, gently placed her soft hand on the back of his hand.

Feeling the slightly warm and smooth sensation, Xu Huan was slightly taken aback. He looked at his palm, frowned, and asked with some confusion, "What's wrong? My lord...?"

The young man did not immediately pull his hand away...

This indicates that it is not excluded.

The monarch breathed a sigh of relief. His face, which had been stubbornly unchanged, was now flushed with a touch of rosy red, adding a touch of charm to his cold expression.

"It's nothing..." The monarch pretended to be nonchalant and withdrew his hand.

Although she said she was fine, the honest blush on her face couldn't hide it from the young man's eyes.

"You're blushing..."

"It's a bit hot... or rather, the food is a bit spicy, I couldn't resist." The monarch glanced at the food box and quickly made up an excuse.

"The food is spicy... I think they really added some chili today. I didn't realize you couldn't handle spicy food. I'll tell Aurora next time..."

"Um..."

The monarch, who had managed to slip through the cracks, sighed softly.

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

"I didn't expect the Commander to arrive so just in time..."

Inside the royal medical room, Perseus looked at the handsome young man before him, and a rare look of surprise appeared on his usually calm face.

She had been told that he would come whenever he had time, and she thought it was just a casual excuse to delay. But it turned out that he really meant it and would come whenever he had time.

"What else could we do? We already agreed, didn't we? The early bird catches the worm..."

Xu Huan sat back comfortably and stretched: "What kind of tests are being done today?"

“Today’s project is a bit special… I’m not in charge of it alone anymore.” Perseus said calmly, tapping the table in front of him. Then, a shy, purple-haired girl in a nurse’s uniform walked in timidly.

"Brother...we meet again..." Upon seeing the young man, the girl, holding the documents, greeted him with wide eyes.

"A unicorn...?" Xu Huan was somewhat surprised to see the beautiful but shy girl in front of him.

This wasn't the first time the two had met, but according to the port's arrangements, the other should be on a mission at sea at this time...

Thinking of this, Xu Huan looked at the Perseus constellation beside him with a puzzled expression.

"Miss Jarvis will be covering for Miss Unicorn's shift today. The port's daily operations will proceed as usual, so Commander, don't worry too much," Perseus explained.

"Brother...don't you like seeing unicorns?" The purple-haired girl looked at the young man with a hint of disappointment upon hearing this.

Her tone was soft and weak, giving the listener a feeling that their heart was easily broken.

"No way... I was just asking casually."

Xu Huan was most afraid of encountering ship girls with this kind of personality, so he quickly waved his hand and explained, "Then, shall we get started as soon as possible? Let's not waste any more time..."

The two ship girls shared the same idea, and then led the young man into a small room. Looking at the energy halo that floated in mid-air like a crystal ball, Xu Huan was a little confused.

"Put your hand in... Commander."

Perseus gave the order expressionlessly. Then, Unicorn, who was standing to the side, seemed to have made an important decision. She gritted her teeth, unfolded her ship equipment, and slowly walked to the opposite side of Xu Huan.
