How to fall in love with a ship girl?

So now I...

Are we no longer in the same galaxy? Not likely, or is it a parallel universe?

Some headache.

He was just a soldier responsible for going to the front line to kill people and slay monsters. His knowledge in this area was just enough to pass the basic knowledge test. When he really encountered the current situation, he was really at a loss for a moment.

"Hey, hey, hey - are you daydreaming? You haven't told me about this watch yet?" Royal Fortune looked at Xu Huan frowning and thinking, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, although I am a pirate, I won't steal these little things."

"Nothing much, just a little glowing thing, but you said you were a pirate?"

The word "pirate" was not unfamiliar to Xu Huan. He had killed at least eighty interstellar pirates.

"Yes, the Royal Fortune, the ship of the Hurricane Camp."

Xu Huan wasn't very good at history. The Royal Fortune sounded familiar to him, but he didn't think much about it. Instead, the title of KanColle reminded him of some games and animations from the last two centuries.

"Uh... Kanmusu?"

Chapter 3 Xu Huan, like it?

According to Xu Huan’s own understanding, KanColle is the product of personification of historical warships, and the different ship outfits of each KanColle are the best interpretation of this.

From the time when this concept was born to his era, the technology of individual equipment advanced rapidly, and it was no longer difficult to cram firepower comparable to that of a battleship into a space the size of a person.

In other words, there are no objective technical barriers to the realization of KanColle.

But if he remembered correctly, the things that the ship girl possessed seemed to be far more than just ship equipment, and seemed to include some psychic things?

Xu Huan was not an experienced fan, so his memory of this setting was a little vague.

By the time he reached that age, the ships on the seas of the old era had already evolved into giant warships soaring in the starry sky. In addition, he was rushing to different missions and fronts every day, riding on different starships, so he didn't have much time to study these things.

Here, after Royal Wealth announced its name, it was looking forward to Xu Huan's reaction.

But after waiting for a while, he felt a little discouraged when he saw that the young man in front of him still had a confused look on his face.

I am not a ship girl from a big faction like the White Eagle Royal Family, and the prototype ships in history are too far away from the present, so it is difficult to know them if you are not a history fan.

"It seems that I am still not famous..." The girl pouted with some disappointment. She felt a little bored, and her curiosity about Xu Huan also diminished a lot.

Apart from the glowing watch, there doesn't seem to be anything special?

Being good-looking shouldn't be considered special.

After confirming once again that the young man in front of him was fine, Royal Wealth turned around and walked back the way he came.

"Let's continue exploring."

"and many more--"

The ship girl in front of him left so directly that Xu Huan hurriedly shouted.

Judging from what happened just now, the girl in front of him obviously has a sufficient understanding of this planet, and it seems that there are other humans living in other places.

A very good guide.

"Oh? What's wrong, human?" The ship girl turned her head after hearing that, but her expression was much colder than at the beginning.

"Can you take me to a safer place? Or a place where humans gather?" Xu Huan stood up and patted his combat uniform which had long lost its specific color.

"Safe? As long as you don't stay in the sea or coastal areas, the threat of Sirens is not that great. You should know all this. As for places where humans gather..."

Royal Wealth said, looking at the tentacles extending from his hair, and gestured:

"There are very few humans who are not afraid of me... So I basically don't take the initiative to get close to humans, it's easy to cause trouble... Or should I say that ship girls rarely get close to humans?"

"After all, we appeared together with the Siren, so many people couldn't tell us apart, and—"

When the ship girl said this, she deliberately prolonged the ending sound.

"And what?" Xu Huan asked.

"And humans are too weak..." the girl explained, "When an individual possesses powerful military power and is not restricted or sanctioned by your human laws... put yourself in a human's perspective, well, it's scary to think about it."

"Although shipgirls are generally friendly to humans, if you encounter a few 'crazy ones' with different personalities, there's nothing you can do if you get killed~ So the best way is to stay away from them as much as possible, right?"

"So are you sure you still want me to take you? Maybe I'm also one of the 'crazy ones'?"

Is this a kind advice or is it just a hassle?

After a moment of silence, Xu Huan chose the most realistic approach.

"...You said you were a pirate?"

He took out a small crystal pendant that was emitting a faint blue light from his belt, waved it in front of the royal treasure, and said, "You should like this thing. Be my guide for a while, and it will be yours."

Every soldier may end up in the same situation as him, and the things stored in his pocket in advance may save his life.

Human currency and paper money are likely to be worthless to foreigners, so keeping items of high value is the best solution.

The prerequisite is that they are able to protect themselves and that the other party has no natural hostility towards humans.

And just when Xu Huan took out the crystal pendant, Royal Fortune was visibly stunned.

In her perception, the faint blue light emitted by the crystal contained extremely rich mental energy, the purity of which was so high that it could almost catch up with the mind cube.

Treasure! Absolutely a treasure!

"make a deal!"

The girl didn't even blink and reached out to take it.

Then he just grabbed nothing.

"Don't worry, wait until you complete the task. How can you get paid without doing anything?"

Xu Huan withdrew his hand, tossed the crystal pendant in his hand, and then put it back into his pocket in front of the ship girl.

"Hello, hey, hey? I'm a pirate. There's no one else within dozens of miles. I can just kidnap you and throw you into the sea to feed the sharks and no one will know, okay?" The girl felt that her reputation as a pirate was insulted.

Hearing this, Xu Huan shook his head with some amusement:

"The same goes for you. If you are not afraid, you can try it..."

A little octopus actually warned himself?

If she did that, she could have an extra octopus barbecue tonight.

"Hiss... You're quite strange. Not only are you not afraid of me, but you seem quite confident?"

"Uh...Isn't it okay for me to be well-informed?"

"Um----"

Royal Wealth pondered, recalling what had happened before, and suddenly realized that he had not seen the opponent's actions clearly twice in a row, so he was relieved and no longer bothered about the identity of the young man in front of him:

"Forget it, just remember to pay on time, and follow me on board! But I have to make it clear in advance that you must follow my rules on board."

Under normal circumstances, she would be busy exploring and searching for treasure, and it would be absolutely impossible for her to agree to such an unreliable thing.

But just like the sudden excitement she felt in her heart when she first walked to the center of the island, she somehow agreed to the request of the young man she met for the first time today.

It was an inexplicable sense of trust.

"I always feel weird today..." Royal Fortune walked in front, stopping from time to time to look back at the young man who seemed a little weak, to prevent him from failing to keep up with his pace.

Seeing the girl in front of him looking back, Xu Huan also nodded slightly.

"It looks like... he doesn't seem particularly smart. Is it really okay to let such a person on board?"

Sighing, the ship girl turned back again:

"By the way, human, I haven't asked you what your name is yet?"

"Xu Huan."

"What? Like? What a weird name."

"..."

Chapter 4 The culprit?

"It's Xu Huan, not because of a crush. My accent is the most standard in the entire human alliance..."

Xu Huan explained helplessly, and seeing that the ship girl walking in front didn't seem to care much, he stopped worrying about it.

After all, he was often called by a code name before.

But to be honest...names are indeed much more human than a simple numerical code.

After following the ship girl for about two minutes, when the wind mixed with the salty and humid smell of the ocean blew towards him, he realized that he was on a very barren and remote island.

It's truly a deserted place.

If he hadn't been lucky enough to run into the ship girl who claimed to be a pirate, he would have had to lie here for an unknown amount of time.

"I have to tell you in advance, don't run around on the boat, you can only stay in a fixed place, and you can't make any noise without my permission. If you attract the attention of too many sirens, I won't be able to save you."

After the girl finished speaking, without waiting for Xu Huan to answer, she stretched out her hand and slowly slid it in the air again.

Along with the movement of the hands, several tentacles instantly rose into the air from the sea in front of them, and then a huge sailing ship slowly emerged from the bottom of the sea. Its huge hull even instantly blocked nearly half of the sunlight on the coast.

The overall design of the ship is very traditional, with a very classic sailboat image, and the waving tentacles surrounding the side of the ship, which looks very much like scenes from various fantasy animations.

Due to the different areas of expertise, Xu Huan could not see the specific details of all aspects of the ship, but the unique sense of historical sedimentation it embodied still made him feel a little shocked.

If it were placed in a collection of human relics, it would be considered an antique cultural relic, and there would be no problem displaying it in a museum as a treasure.

But compared to these, he has other things that interest him more.

"How did we get this thing up from the bottom of the sea? Is it some special space folding or jump technology?" Xu Huan said, and at the same time turned on the corresponding detection function of his watch.

'No traces of space folding were detected in the current area.'

It cannot be detected. Is it a technology that I have never come across before?

"What's so weird? This is my prototype ship... Every ship girl has one. You can summon it directly as long as you think about it."

Royal Fortune raised his pretty eyebrows and answered casually.

"You are a human being, and you won't understand even if I tell you... Hurry up and get on the boat. This place is not that safe."

"Okay, then I-?!"

Just as Xu Huan was about to make a move, two of the tentacles surrounding the ship rushed over, rolled up his entire body, and placed him directly on the deck.

"Crack-"

Along with another light landing sound, the surrounding tentacles and the entire ship sank directly to the bottom of the sea.

What followed was a huge bubble that slowly enveloped the entire ship.

"Well, that's good. It's a good thing that you were not scared. Only then you are qualified to get on the ship." Looking at Xu Huan who was calm, Royal Wealth nodded, and finally showed a hint of satisfaction.

"There is no one else on the ship except you and me. You can choose any empty room to live in, but don't go near the cargo hold below or my room at the back. And don't come to the deck when you float up. Any other questions?"

"No." Xu Huanzheng looked at the environment on the ship and shook his head.

The other party's request seemed very reasonable to him, and he didn't have the energy to run around on the boat.

"If you have nothing to do, go into the cabin. I'll tell you when we get there. Also, remember to keep your reward safe, or I'll really throw you into the sea to feed the sharks, human."

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl disappeared behind the cabin door along with the tentacles, leaving Xu Huan alone on the empty deck.

The ship did not dive very deep, and there was still a lot of sunlight shining through the sea surface and bubbles onto the deck, reflecting a colorful light curtain. Combined with the schools of fish swimming by from time to time, it made people feel dizzy.

But for Xu Huan, the beautiful scenery is secondary.

"This is another technique I've never seen before..."

After the girl left, Xu Huan stared at the bubbles covering the sky with great curiosity. After hesitating for a moment, he stepped lightly on the deck.

The next second—

"Boom!"

A sound similar to that of a crack was heard, and Xu Huan came directly out of the bubble.

Without the protection of the bubble, water pressure immediately came from all directions, squeezing the young man's body madly.

Xu Huan still had no reaction. He stared at the place where the blister had just burst, counting silently in his mind.

In less than a second, the bubble that had just burst returned to its original shape.
