How come I, who has the physique of a succubus, was pushed back by the ship girl?

"It will be soon, Eugen...soon I will be able to make those so-called enemies crawl before me."

His wide sleeves drooped down weakly, quickly covering his clenched hands. Facing Eugen's questions and the criticism of the cruel reality, August spoke in a heavier tone.

She calls herself a witch and is quite powerful, but control is still a problem for August, who has always been behind the scenes and rarely fights in actual combat.

The indiscriminate attacks during her first battle and the fear of her companions who survived the disaster are still vivid in her mind and have become a source of worry for her.

Although she is a ship girl, she cannot freely control her own ship equipment. Although she possesses powerful strength, she cannot use it for herself.

Day after day, the longer it dragged on, the more impatient she became, which was why she came to find Eugen early in the morning and urgently applied for permission to use the training ground.

But things are different now. This time, August, who arrived in a hurry, asked the wrong person.

Not long ago, Eugen had handed over all the rights to handle port affairs to Zhou Xuan.

This young commander who was airdropped here is now the de facto person in charge of this port area.

"I'm sorry, August, but I have handed over the power to the commander. If you need anything, you can ask him for it."

Grasping the key point, following her direction, August shifted his purple pupils to Zhou Xuan.

"commander?"

From the very beginning, August noticed that there was a person of the opposite sex beside Eugen. She never thought that this human would be Eugen's new commander.

Even his own commander...

"Hello, Miss August, I'm Zhou Xuan." Zhou Xuan nodded and greeted.

"Hello, I am the witch - August von Parseval."

She bowed and nodded, as if it was an instinctive reaction engraved in her body. Picking up his words, the girl gave her own response as if possessed by a demon.

The moment she finished speaking, she finally realized that her actions were out of control.

This surprised her greatly. Driven by her interest, Augusta concentrated her attention and discovered through her keen observation.

The young man in front of him seemed to have the ability to influence the minds of the ship girls, and even he himself was no exception!

Not only was her mind in disarray, but she wasn't sure if it was her illusion, but from the moment she got close to the man, her body seemed to be getting slightly hot...

She deserves to be treated differently, but unfortunately, she is just a mortal after all.....

After coming to the conclusion and staying for a while, August slowly withdrew his scrutinizing gaze, no longer paid attention to her, and continued their conversation.

After the initial test, Zhou Xuan roughly understood the temperament of this iron-blooded ship girl. She did not show any anger as if she was left out, but looked calm.

Through the other party's attitude, he realized that a conflict might break out next. While watching the situation, he also prepared countermeasures in private.

"It's indeed your usual style, but it's a pity that I don't have time to play with you right now, Eugen."

"Stop joking around!"

At this point, Auguste became visibly anxious, and the witch-like words she usually used were no longer useful.

Prince Eugen has a changeable and unpredictable personality, but he always distinguishes between public and private matters, which is obvious to all.

But what happened today...

The sudden change made her feel uneasy. She lowered her head and thought back, thinking about the uncertainty of the future and the tragic scene in the past...

The answer remained unchanged. Eugen, sensing the other party's change in mood, immediately took out the appointment letter for personnel transfer from the ship's space.

"By your words, August."

"I also don't have time to play around with you. This is the appointment document sent by Bismarck. Below the symbol of iron-blooded glory, there are their autographs."

"You can take a closer look."

Without further ado, the delicate hand wrapped in a white glove grabbed the corner of the folder.

He opened it quickly, glanced through it, and finally went straight to the signature column.

Just as Eugen said, the originally blank space was filled with everyone's names, headed by Bismarck.

The facts are as solid as iron. August's doubts were refuted. Scrolling up, every word about Zhou Xuan's identity and origin was clear and concise.

Zhou Xuan, male, 24 years old, is a time traveler and the new commander of the East Line Port...

"What a joke....Let a human lead us..."

Without any intense emotions, August just lowered his head and murmured in a low voice.

It was impossible to tell her emotions, but from her gritted teeth words, both of them could sense the reluctance and rejection deep in her heart.

The time has not come yet, Zhou Xuan still remains silent, his gaze slightly shifted to look at Eugen.

As if he had expected it, Eugen added tacitly after receiving his gaze.

"This is the fact. Whether you and I accept it or not, this appointment has been unanimously decided by Bismarck and others and will be implemented."

"Although he is a human being, Zhou Xuan is one in a million. I think as we get along day and night, you will slowly change your opinion, August."

"........"

They were speechless and remained silent for a long time before August was willing to let go of the document in his hand and stuffed the wrinkled, messed-up document back into Eugen's hand.

"Over the long years, through intrigue and struggle for power, human beings have proven their own despicable nature through various actions."

"Hypocrisy, arrogance, selfishness, narrow-mindedness... Even though I am a witch, I cannot see any shining points in them."

August spoke in an understatement, as if he was stating a recognized fact.

Facing Eugen, every word he spoke was directed at Zhou Xuan who was standing beside him. He left no room for doubt and expressed his views in the most direct way.

"Bismarck has always been wise, but I didn't expect him to make such a foolish decision this time. I will not accept this appointment. I have nothing to say to someone who cannot fight side by side with me."

With a firm attitude and unshakable determination, August flicked his sleeves, turned around and was about to leave.

Before she could take a step, Zhou Xuan, who had remained silent, finally spoke.

Chapter 5: The prey is hooked

"I was criticized for nothing the first time I met you. It really hurts my self-esteem..." Putting his right hand on his chest, Zhou Xuan pretended to be regretful.

Seeing that he had stopped and stayed here for a while, he took a further step to carry out his goal.

"How about putting aside your stereotypes for a moment, Miss August?"

"We just arrived, so we need to get to know each other a little bit. Maybe after that, you will overturn your own understanding and completely change your opinion of me."

"After all, compared to other humans, I still think I have some advantages." Zhou Xuan held his head high and chest puffed out, his face brimming with confidence.

With the experience of living in two lifetimes, Zhou Xuan knew clearly about this situation.

It is a fantasy to expect to convince the other party and make them accept you with just a few words without any strength.

Knowing August's character well, Zhou Xuan decided to please her and reach a consensus with her first.

The most convincing thing is to directly demonstrate the special abilities you possess.

That's why Zhou Xuan deliberately brought up the topic and used such high-profile words to attract her attention.

Take advantage of the situation and slowly lead the topic to the result you want.

This was a bit of mental calculation he had learned from years of surfing. Although it was the first time he had used it in actual combat, the momentum of a power-seeker had already taken shape.

As time goes by, the excitement of facing a new challenge grows stronger and stronger.

As a result, his aura in this state suddenly became unfathomable.

Always paying attention to the situation on the field, Eugen noticed all the changes in the boy.

On his face, Eugen clearly saw a smile that was almost identical to his own.

There is a hint of evil in his self-confidence, as if he can decide the final outcome of the situation just by chatting and laughing.

That was the joy she showed when she was playing with her prey and hunting her enemies.

Looking at August on the side, he has obviously been attracted by Zhou Xuan's words and is about to fall into the trap and become his capture.

Instead of leaving and coming back, the girl suddenly turned around, and due to the force, the hems of her clothes on both sides fluttered like butterfly wings as she moved.

Just like she claimed, she looked a bit like a witch.

There was a breeze under her feet, and the small black high heels kept making crisp sounds with the owner's steps, and finally stopped in front of Zhou Xuan.

His outward expression could not conceal the emotions surging in his heart. August frowned, and his delicate face showed a hint of surprise and disdain.

How could he have the confidence to speak so arrogantly in front of her? August couldn't wait to ask him harshly.

But when she got closer to Zhou Xuan, she suddenly realized that the menacing momentum had disappeared without a trace at some point.

Even her heartbeat began to speed up inexplicably...

"No... it's just a mortal body. In our eyes, it's as fragile as an ant. With a simple pinch, we can crush it into powder and dissipate it with the wind."

The disdainful words had obvious weaknesses, and realizing this, August had to admit it.

His words made sense. After just one encounter, my mentality changed.

But she was proud to begin with, and even though she admitted it, there was no way she would bow down to a human being.

Living up to the name of a witch, August remained calm, quickly sorted out her thoughts, and resumed her offensive posture.

"Then, Mr. Ant, how do you know you have the advantage?" Before Zhou Xuan could answer, August followed up with an additional explanation.

"Think carefully before answering. You know, Tiexue never likes those who talk nonsense. If you can't impress me, don't blame me for being rude."

Even though the words were as sharp as swords, Zhou Xuan remained neither humble nor arrogant. He faced the other party's contemptuous gaze and moved closer to her.

"Didn't Bismarck tell you that, unlike other humans, I have the ability to strengthen the soul network of the ship girl, enhance various values, and heal injuries."

The appointment letter for personnel changes has only been issued to Eugen so far. The other ship girls are completely unaware of what Zhou Xuan said.

After a moment of stunned silence, August turned his head slightly and cast his gaze at Eugen. From the latter's nod, he confirmed the accuracy of Zhou's declaration.

Even after getting Eugen's answer, August still subconsciously wanted to refute it, insisting that seeing is believing.

But before she could open her mouth, she heard it again.

"Of course, this is not all I can do."

"In addition, I also have the ability to improve the shortcomings of the ship girl. I think this is also the deep reason why Bismarck sent me here."

Although it was not stated explicitly out of consideration for the feelings of his companions, everyone knew it.

In addition to being a strategic point, this port area is also a centralized management area for problematic ship girls.

Since it is the management area of ​​the problematic ship girl, Zhou Xuan's words have a clear meaning.

Not sure if it was due to psychological effects or because of the other party's suggestive tone, but August felt that the words were extremely harsh.

She suddenly got angry, and her hands dropped to her sides, then bent them up and naturally wrapped them around her chest, supporting her snow-white skin from bottom to top, which was about to burst out and was undulating.

Gracefully folding her arms is both a natural defensive posture and a way to maintain her noble temperament from the inside out.

August snorted coldly and gave his evaluation directly. The difference was that this time his rebuttal no longer had the previous certainty.

"Humph, how rude!"

Being able to bend and stretch, and being tough when necessary, this is the true character of a man.

Seeing that the witch was about to fall into his set trap, Zhou Xuan immediately added fuel to the fire.

Using the gambling as material to add fuel to the fire, he constantly stirred up the competitive spirit hidden in her bones.

"Whether I am rude or not, we will know it after a try. I can change your current predicament. The key is whether Miss August will give me this opportunity."

Full of confidence, the breath of the sea continued to hit his face. Zhou Xuan waved his hand, directing their gaze towards the blue seashore.

"Look at the magnificent scenery in front of you. How long has it been since Miss August last set foot on this blue sea? How long has it been since you freely sailed on this calm sea?"

"How many times have you been forced to stay in the port area when the battle on the front line broke out because your own strength was out of control, allowing worry and regret to sweep over your heart?"

A series of questions struck her soul directly. August fell into deep thought and found it difficult to give an answer for a while.

Donghuang people have always emphasized the importance of relaxation in moderation, and seeing the results, Zhou Xuan relaxed his tone and spoke softly.

"Let's make a bet, Miss August?"

"If the final result proves that I am a person who talks nonsense, I will voluntarily give up this job and resign as commander, and let you deal with it as you wish."

"But if the result is the opposite, I hope Miss August can acknowledge the fact that I am Minato and your commander."

The whole process is closely linked, and every design has been carefully considered. Even the final trial venue has been arranged in advance.
