"ha?"

The sounds outside the cabin were strangely familiar to Zheng Hao, and a chill ran down his spine.

"Open the door! Hurry up!"

A rapid knocking came from the door. After hesitating for a moment, Zheng Hao still walked to the door of the [Captain's Cabin].

"Snap~"

Almost the instant the ship's doors opened!

Sisters!

"Grab your tools, let's scrape off the resin!"

"Bang bang bang!"

A dozen or so [Pharmacist Ship Girls] immediately grabbed brushes and shovels, jumped onto the side of the [Purple and Green Sword Ship], and began cleaning the thick resin underneath the ship.

"Ouch~"

"Ouch~"

"It itches so bad! It itches so bad!"

Inside the captain's cabin, Jian Qinghan, who was sitting on the ground, was being scratched by a shovel and rolling around.

"Jian Qinghan..."

"you?"

Zheng Hao was about to ask a question.

"Snap!"

Suddenly!

A very strong hand slapped him directly on the shoulder.

"Well..."

Turning my head, I was greeted by Jiang Mingyue's cool and heroic face.

This face is very stern and has a great presence.

Can...

The words that came out of her mouth were completely out of character: "Zheng Hao...you're good...you're very good...I like you very much...here you are, this is my contract!"

"Buzz~"

Before Zheng Hao could say anything, Jiang Mingyue draped a coat, which smelled of herbs and was decorated with flowers, over Zheng Hao's back.

"this..."

"Is this a permanent contract?"

Zheng Hao was stunned!

From the moment he put on this "clothes," Zheng Hao saw the data panel of the [Pharmacist Cruise Ship].

Temporary contracts don't offer these features!

"how?"

"You're not happy?"

Jiang Mingyue raised an eyebrow, her sharp, menacing aura emanating from her.

"Well..."

"I'd be happy to!"

For some reason, Zheng Hao felt a little creeped out when he saw Jiang Mingyue's exposed abs.

"Um!"

"That's good!"

"Don't worry, you're my navigator. If anyone bullies you in the future, just tell me, and I'll beat them up!"

The other person showed off the thin muscles on her arms, exuding a kind of bossy, female aura.

"Bright moon!"

"Take it easy!"

Perhaps unable to bear it any longer, Jiang Rong hurriedly steered the boat closer, giving Zheng Hao a gentle smile: "I'm sorry... this child has never traveled far from home since he was little, he's quite impulsive..."

"You are a qualified navigator. I hope you can teach her more about interpersonal relationships in the future..."

"Mingyue looks quite sturdy and aloof, but she's actually a bit silly..."

"Sister Rong!"

"Who are you calling a fool!"

"Bright moon!!!"

The two "Pharmacist Boat Girls" started arguing back and forth, while Zheng Hao awkwardly scratched his head and looked into the distance with a sullen expression.

Tiger is great!

This kind of straightforward "boat girl" is much better than Liu Ruyan's XXN type.

I was initially worried that the [Base Ship Girl] might not get along with the other [Ship Girls], but now it seems that, given Jiang Mingyue's temperament, there definitely won't be any scheming or infighting...

"This data..."

"That's a bit of an exaggeration..."

A data panel was flashing in front of him. Zheng Hao scanned the data while greeting the approaching [Demon Ship] in the distance.

【Pharmacist Cruise Ship】

Propeller speed: 50

Side profile stability: 145

[Sail mast wind capacity: 125]

Hardness: 155

[Anchor Stability: 200]

[Battery range: 200]

[Skill: Apothecary's Bewitching Incense]

[Pharmacist's Aphrodisiac Incense: The Pharmacist can actively release a wide-area fog, which has a built-in neuro-disruptive effect. Once inside the fog, ship girls and navigators who inhale the incense will lose their sight, hearing, and touch.]

Overall Hull Rating: SS-

That's an absolutely terrifying number!

The premise is...

Let's exclude the propeller speed!

"These data... how should I put it? As expected of a [base ship]..."

"Very stable!"

【Pharmacist Ship/Cruise Ship】Although large, competitions on this ship are almost impossible. Her primary functions are logistics, savings, and recuperation. 【Ship Girl】

It's impossible for a cruise ship that's several hundred meters long to compete with a laser-class racing boat that's only a few meters long, right?

Putting aside whether it's fair or not, the track itself can't accommodate such a behemoth.

The base ship has its own mission.

Just like a racing team, the drivers are important, but the logistics and the commanders are equally important.

"What a fine ship..."

"No...it should be 'good home'!"

Staring blankly at Jiang Mingyue's data, Jian Qinghan was still being scraped clean. As the [Demon] approached, Mo Yurou and the others looked anxiously at Zheng Hao: "Zheng Hao! Are you alright?"

"Zheng Hao! Where's the [base ship]? I want the biggest room!"

"Zheng Hao...when are you going to let Yu Rou fly too? As the [first ship girl], her ship girl career is incomplete if she hasn't flown!"

Three familiar voices came from behind him, and Zheng Hao smiled helplessly.

"Everyone..."

"Let's wait until Jian Qinghan has finished dealing with this..."

"As for what happens next..."

"We'll talk more on our way to the [Windy Waters]..."

"......"
