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

Page 86

In legends, sirens are sea monsters that can bewitch people, so it's not surprising that I have feelings similar to ambiguous attraction.

Furthermore, judging from the monarch's behavior, the other party, being a ship girl, did not sense anything unusual.

This means...

"Are they here for me?"

Xu Huan gently patted his chest, his brows furrowing slightly.

Since becoming a commander, he has come into contact with quite a few mass-produced sirens, and he has even encountered regular humanoid sirens, but he has never had this feeling before.

"Could it be a high-level humanoid siren... I've never tried this kind of method before."

The young man closed his eyes, silently feeling the throbbing in his heart. Not long after, he opened his eyes again and looked in another direction.

Is this the way?

The allure within him told him that he should follow the path he was being guided to.

And this direction is exactly the opposite of when the monarch left.

Xu Huan didn't care about any diversionary tactics. He was confident in his own strength and could escape by teleporting if he encountered a dangerous situation that he couldn't withstand.

Running away when you can't win is not shameful at all.

Under these circumstances, it is actually not very convenient for the monarch to be by his side.

He didn't look down on the monarch's strength; it's just that he often found it easier to handle situations on his own, since he didn't have to worry about taking care of others on the battlefield.

Having made up his mind, Xu Huan followed the faint guidance and leisurely arrived at a sea area that also appeared calm and tranquil.

With his inner guidance exhausted, the young man turned to look around but found nothing unusual.

"Since the Sirens aren't on the sea or in the sky, then they must be underwater..."

Just as Xu Huan was about to launch a large-scale scan and detection of the underwater area, a small hurricane suddenly swept across the sea.

As the hurricane began to blow, the young man suddenly heard a 'buzz' in his ears, as if something had passed through his body.

The next instant, the young man's straight body suddenly bent slightly, as if a heavy object had pressed down on him.

Xu Huan suddenly felt his body become much heavier, the weight on his knees was much greater than before, and even his breathing became somewhat heavy, as if half of his body was submerged underwater, with invisible pressure coming from all directions and directly pressing on his body.

"What... is this a gravity trap?"

This intensity was nothing to his body. With a slight purse of his lips, Xu Huan took out a tissue from his storage device, held it in mid-air, and gently placed it down.

The tissue, which should have floated lightly, fell directly and quickly onto the water's surface the moment it left my hand.

"Hmm, if the intensity were any higher... the shells would probably be affected too..."

Just then, a faint voice came from afar:

"Your first thought wasn't fear... but rather wanting to verify the experiment? Should I praise your courage or scold you for being brainless?"

Xu Huan looked up and saw a siren with skin that was entirely light bronze-black, which had appeared on the distant sea at some unknown time.

She has a beautiful face, long light gray hair, golden eyes, a cold expression, and a very agile figure. Except for a few parts covered by armor, most of her skin is exposed, like that of a natural hunter, and it is covered with many scars.

What is most striking are the broken chains on its body and the huge claw-shaped armor on its hands.

It looks like a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex that has broken free of its chains.

"Oh? This is the first time I've met a Siren who can communicate with me normally..." Xu Huan took a half step back, adopting a wary posture.

At this moment, he could not sense any aura from the other party, as if his senses had been completely covered by something.

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Furthermore, considering that the other party possesses both self-awareness and the ability to communicate normally...

Is it a high-level humanoid siren?

"That's normal... There probably aren't many people who can communicate with you... Let's see how capable you are first."

The humanoid siren chuckled, then said no more, stomping its feet and hurtling towards the youth on the waves.

The armor beneath his feet was also specially made black armor, almost blending into his skin.

"We finally find someone who can talk, and they want to fight right away?"

The high-level humanoid siren in front of him attacked immediately, as if it had been planned in advance, which surprised Xu Huan.

I was hoping to get some information out of him...

But since that's the case, he might as well test the strength of the so-called high-level humanoid siren.

In the distance, the waves beneath the Sirens' feet rose higher and higher with each surge of their charge, the terrifying power contained within them enough to send chills down one's spine.

Seeing this, Xu Huan raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Are you going easy on us?"

Putting everything else aside, this attack, which seemed to have been foreshadowed, was far too easy for someone of the youth's level of strength.

The power it contains is terrifying, but its speed is outrageously slow.

Chapter 118 If you want to fight, then come at me!

If we were to use a fitting analogy, it would be like a critical moment in a game where the system suddenly slows down and lets you press QTE.

Although the young man could easily dodge the Siren's attack, Xu Huan chose another seemingly irrational option—

A direct, head-on confrontation.

This is my first time fighting a high-level humanoid, so I have to test its strength firsthand.

Although it seems irrational, in reality...

That was indeed very irrational.

It's not a good idea to close the distance and engage in close combat before knowing the opponent's strength; Hutten and Frederick both learned this lesson the hard way.

But at this moment, Xu Huan's blood was surging urgently, and the long-lost thrill of facing a powerful enemy made him even more excited.

Let's not worry about that for now...

After holding back for so long, previous battles were either against groups of miscellaneous enemies that I wasn't good at dealing with, or against my own people, which meant that I often had to hold out until the game ended before I could get my fill.

He's been holding back for so long, he needs to let off some steam.

Taking a deep breath, the young man gently placed a small crystal from the storage device into his mouth, faced the direction of the siren, tiptoed, and twisted his waist slightly backward.

The towering waves gradually drew closer as the sirens charged, and the young man's body appeared excessively small in the face of the surging waves.

next second.

"break!"

With his mental energy mobilized to its maximum, and with a simultaneous exertion of force from his waist and feet, Xu Huan threw a powerful punch in front of him.

A sound like an explosion of fists rang out in the air, and then the huge wave that swept in crashed into the air as if it had hit an indestructible wall.

The accumulated power exploded in an instant, and the long-accumulated giant wave turned into water droplets in a flash, as if it were all strangled in mid-air by invisible fine lines, and finally became a thin mist that covered the entire space.

It was as if a semi-transparent fog had veiled the siren and the youth, preventing them from seeing each other.

"Tsk..."

Xu Huan did not relax completely after the giant wave was destroyed, but looked at the 'fog window' in front of him.

Then——

A shadowy figure burst out from the fogged window, its giant claw slamming down on the youth with the force of uprooting mountains and felling trees.

"sieve--"

Xu Huan neither dodged nor avoided the punch, and threw another punch.

However, his fist seemed like a mantis trying to stop a chariot under the opponent's giant claws.

The sound of machinery colliding with flesh rang out, and Xu Huan's entire body was sent flying backward by the force, only stopping again after traveling more than ten meters.

"Oh? You're more capable than I expected?" The humanoid siren looked at the young man's nonchalant demeanor with some surprise.

Putting aside normal humans, even among ship girls, apart from a few madmen in Sakura Empire who are obsessed with melee combat, the other ship girls cannot handle it as easily as the young man in front of them.

"Ouch—it's a little sour..."

Xu Huan shook his numb hands and arms, and frowned as he looked at the Sirens not far away.

Judging from the brief clash just now, in my current state, in terms of physical strength alone... I am indeed no match for this siren.

Moreover, there is also the existence of gravity traps.

but....

Xu Huan lowered his eyes slightly, looking at the sea beneath him.

Realizing that the young man's gaze seemed a little strange, the siren lowered her head with interest.

To her surprise, she discovered that what she was stepping on wasn't the sea, but something else entirely...

"Oh? Interesting..."

Xu Huan raised his hand and made a grasping motion in mid-air.
