"Um?"

On the surface, Jian Qinghan showed a hint of displeasure.

In fact!

[That's great! That's great!]

You two are so in love!

[Please refuse me, Mom! I miss the seawater around the "Purple and Green Sword Ship" area!]

A wave of despair washed over me!

Jian Qinghan's eyes gradually turned cold, but his ears couldn't help but turn red with embarrassment.

"oh?"

Are you looking down on our [Purple and Green Sword Ship]?

"You mean, you want me, a dignified [S-rank ship girl], to be the first mate? And this ship to be the lead ship?!"

The icy voice echoed in the room. Seeing that the genius girl of the [Purple and Green Sword Ship] was about to lose her temper, Jian Chunxue and Zheng Yunlong's expressions changed, and they immediately stepped forward to smooth things over.

"Miss Qinghan! It's not what you think!"

"That's right! My silly son signed on for the 'first ship girl' position a long time ago, what else could he do?"

"How about we skip this one?"

"......"

Inside the room, there was a chorus of voices trying to reconcile the situation.

Everyone's worried gazes fell upon Jian Qinghan's face.

No one noticed that the back of her skirt was already wrinkled and wavy.

Yes! Yes!

You guys should start!

All I want to do is go home...the blue sky, the green water...

Overwhelmed with excitement, Jian Qinghan straightened his face and was about to utter a haughty remark: "Hmph~ The mere Zheng family, I'd rather not stay here!"

but!

Nobody expected this...

Zheng Hao has changed his mind!

He stared at Jian Qinghan, his eyes flashing.

We need this boatwoman!

The final boss in the later stages!

Can I not want it?

You mean the arrogant and domineering ordinary [S-class ship girl] is coming?

Zheng Hao scoffed!

But you said the big boss coming later?

It smells so good!

Zheng Hao's eyes darted around; he was unaware of Jian Qinghan's homebody tendencies. After all, "Demon Star Sea" had only written about the story of the genius girl Jian Qinghan confronting Zhou Hang, but hadn't described the woman's personality.

Looking directly at Jian Qinghan, Zheng Hao smiled slightly.

"You think Yu Rou, being an [E-rank ship girl], isn't worthy to stand in front of you as the [first ship girl]?"

"How about we make a bet?"

"Do you believe me if I say Yu Rou can outrun you?"

With a smirk, Zheng Hao had already planned a trap.

"Um?"

"She can outrun me?"

Upon hearing this, Jian Qinghan raised an eyebrow and loosened his grip on his clothes.

It's not that she's arrogant!

Ever since she awakened her [Ship Girl] form, there has been no ship girl in the entire sea that she can't catch up with!

A [Class E ship girl]? Can she outrun me?

Are you kidding me!

He gave Zheng Hao a disdainful look.

Now, whether it was feigned aloofness or the inner thoughts of a homebody, everyone was on the same page: [This E-class ship? It can beat me?! I'll drink seawater while standing on my head!]

"What if?"

"What if Yu Rou can outrun you?"

"Are you convinced that she's the [first ship girl]?"

Zheng Hao was adding fuel to the fire, and Jian Qinghan's expression turned cold: "Fine! She ran past me, I won't say anything, and I'll accept that the [First Ship Girl] is hers!"

"But if you can't outrun me, you don't even have the authority to form a [temporary contract] with me!"

"You have to stand outside the captain's cabin and teach me your skills!"

"this..."

"Isn't this too much of a benefit for you? If I win, you'll back down, but if I lose, I'll have to pay you to teach me the techniques?"

He looked at Jian Qinghan with some displeasure.

Zheng Hao wasn't dissatisfied with the bet; he just wanted to take advantage of this genius girl.

As the most powerful "Boatwoman" in the "Purple and Green Sword Ship" family, Zheng Hao refused to believe that she didn't possess any treasures.

really!

After hesitating for a moment, Jian Qinghan tossed a roll of [modification blueprints] from her gauze sleeve onto the table!

"【Class B Crash Resistance】Modification Blueprint 'Stinger'!"

"This is something I brought from my family!"

"You must have a hard time getting your hands on [Grade B] modification components, right?"

"Like I said, if you beat me, you can have the modification components, and I won't even try to take the spot as the [first ship girl]! But if you don't win..."

"make a deal!"

Fearing that Jian Qinghan might change his mind, Zheng Hao grabbed the [Poison Sting] and examined it closely.

[Class B Impact Resistance Component: Stinger]

[Propeller speed -3, range -3, durability +10!]

Inside the drawing is the outline of a ship, with countless fine black needles on its surface, as if the "ship girl" is coated with a needle-like coat.

"Holy crap!"

"+10 hardness?"

"No wonder it's a Grade B blueprint..."

Somewhat tempted, Zheng Hao rolled up the blueprints and placed them on the table.

It's like a pillow being delivered when you're sleepy. If Mo Yurou had this component, she wouldn't be afraid of being bumped or hit by a reef.

"Have you looked at the things?"

"bring it on..."

"Prepare to face your defeat!"

Jian Qinghan gave Zheng Hao and Mo Yurou a cold look. This time, he wasn't pretending.

She genuinely didn't think she would lose!

Although she's a homebody, she possesses the arrogance of being the number one member of the [Purple and Green Sword Ship] family!

Let's go!

Zheng Hao remained calm and waved towards the [Demon Ship].

"Zheng Hao..."

"I...I..."

Mo Yurou was clearly still hesitant.

"Ta-da~"

but...
