[...]

On the deep blue sea, there are several hot air balloons that appear every few kilometers.

The hot air balloon was covered with promotional advertisements for the "Azure Domain Relay Race".

I have to say!

The Great Ocean is the Great Ocean. Compared to the "First Sea Gathering" promotion of the "Mountain and Sea Region," the "Relay Race" of the "Azure Region" is far more terrifying.

"Rat-a-tat-tat~"

now!

The Devil was sailing on the sea, heading towards a huge merchant ship.

On the merchant ship, the grand signboard of "Azure Domain Ship Girl Maintenance Shop" hangs, gleaming in the sunlight.

"Zheng Hao..."

"You mentioned a relay race, should we find someone to team up with?"

Bai Huanhuan gazed at the distant "maintenance shop," her eyes darting around uncertainly.

She had never been to a beauty salon before.

Not even once!

I felt a mix of excitement and nervousness...

Looking for teammates?

"Who should I look for?"

"I already have three [ship girls] myself, [small], [medium], and [large]. I can sail the whole way myself, why would I need someone else?"

Zheng Hao shrugged; he had no intention of forming a team at the moment.

Given the current level of pressure in the competition, it's not time to form a team yet.

"But..."

"I...I can't load the [component]...What should I do about the snowy area?"

"How about...how about you try driving Qinghan's car?"

Bai Huanhuan pursed her lips and stomped her foot in annoyance.

Because the propeller speed is useless in the glacial region of the relay race, the ship girl can only travel on the glacier by assembling the special component, the sled, on the bottom of the ship.

And the worst part is that I can't assemble any of the parts myself!

Although he could open the first half of the sea area himself, he asked Mo Yurou to install the [component] and open the second half of the glacier.

Can...

She's learned in the last few days that Mo Yurou is Zheng Hao's [first ship girl], and her position is unshakeable!

I can't go up in front of you, and I can't go up behind you either; I can only sit on the bench.

"......"

Jian Qinghan stood aside without making any comment.

However, a slight smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth on that aloof face.

Hmph~

"Beg me? You beg me? I'll fight alongside you in the glacier area..."

Her little fingers twirled merrily under her skirt, while Jian Qinghan subtly shook her head, waiting for Zheng Hao to speak.

Can...

A minute passed...

Two minutes have passed...

Zheng Hao didn't say a word, but simply pointed to the [Boat Girl Care Shop] they were about to dock at, "Never mind that for now! The competition still has a few days left! You guys should go get some treatments first..."

"As for the glacial regions..."

Zheng Hao thought for a moment, glanced at Jian Qinghan, and then quickly looked away.

It's not that he didn't want to open the [Purple and Green Sword] account.

He wanted to sail more than anyone else, all kinds of boats.

only...

For the sake of future development, he would prioritize using Mo Yurou and Bai Huanhuan whenever possible in the competition.

after all...

Their stats are still too low; they need to compete to improve and increase them.

Jian Qinghan?

Please!

That's one of the late-game bosses. These are just minor skirmishes. If she were to take on them, it would be a complete rout! And the experience points are too low!

It's like taking a max-level character to the beginner village; it's fun, but you gain nothing!

"Let's level up Mo Yurou and Bai Huanhuan first, and then we'll deal with it when there's a really tough match..."

"Ta-da~"

After the "Devil" docked with the merchant ship, Zheng Hao led the way onto the merchant ship's deck.

"Creak~"

【Azure Domain - Boat Girl Maintenance Shop】is very good at handling things.

Almost as soon as Zheng Hao boarded the ship, a mature woman came out of the shop with a big smile on her face: "Welcome, esteemed guest! [Azure Domain - Ship Girl Care Shop] will be happy to serve you!"

"The guest looks a bit unfamiliar... Is this their first time here?"

The mature woman looked Zheng Hao up and down. Zheng Hao nodded and followed behind her, walking quickly into the shop.

The lobby of the maintenance shop is very large.

Apart from the bar, the walls are filled with various "care oils", "functional liquids", "expanding components", and even... the ultra-thin, stimulating "wolf tooth zero distance" new Durex condoms.

Good heavens!

Zheng Hao was completely bewildered.

Is this how straightforward big cities are?

"guest..."

"Excuse me, are you here to maintain the [ship girl]... or to modify the [components]? Or perhaps you'd like to personally perform close-up maintenance on the [ship girl]?"

"Our specialty is 'reverse maintenance'... We can apply a conditioning lotion to the 'Wolf Fang' model... and then you can do it yourself..."

As the mature woman spoke, her gaze swept over the three boatwomen behind Zheng Hao, and a knowing smile appeared on her face.

Zheng Hao's eyelids twitched violently as he listened!

Okay, okay!

So this is how you take care of yourself?

City people know how to have fun. They can even make something out of a boatwoman's private care like this.
