"oh..."
"I see!"
"I am flattered, this [Boat Girl]."
The ship clasped its hands in a respectful gesture towards the gray captain's cabin. Without saying a word, the sails billowed as it sped towards the Azure Domain Shipgirl Maintenance Shop.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"
The sea breeze swept across the sea.
Zheng Hao and Zhou Zhong stood on the deck, neither of them speaking, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
After a long silence, Zhou Zhong finally broke it, pursing his lips: "Su Xin... Su Xin, she... don't let her usual carefree and arrogant demeanor fool you. Actually... sometimes she secretly cries when her arranged marriage partner criticizes her for her poor stats..."
You know that, right...?
"Her arrogance is just an act..."
"Well..."
"clear."
"I'm telling you all this because I think you're not a bad person. Judging from the two little boat girls you adopted, you're a very interesting person."
"Su Xin... I won't suffer if I follow you..."
"Hey! Why do you look like you're giving instructions about what to do after the wedding?"
Zheng Hao was speechless. Zhou Zhong glared at him, then looked at the dark sea and suddenly changed the subject.
"You seemed quite surprised by the [Cloud Dragon King] just now?"
"Don't you know the story of the Three Kings?"
"Huh? [The Three Kings]? What's that?"
Zheng Hao genuinely didn't know, his face showing a dazed expression.
"call..."
"Looks like your old man didn't tell you..."
Why don't you tell me about it?
"Actually, there's not much to say. It's just that back then, there were three young men from a poor, remote area who made a name for themselves on the world stage and were given the title of 'Three Kings'!"
"You need to know... on the world stage, which [Navigator] family isn't wealthy, with a fleet of component ships of [S-rank ship girls] or higher?"
"What an honor it is for three people from impoverished rural areas to achieve such results and be awarded the title of king against such opponents!"
"this..."
"Zheng Hao!"
"If one day, the descendants of the three kings reassemble their respective fleets and compete in the World Championship, I think... it would definitely surprise those powerful families, wouldn't it?"
"Right?"
Zhou Zhong became more and more excited as he spoke.
Zheng Hao looked somewhat dazed, his mind still processing the latest side quest.
It seems I'm destined to go to the World Championship and meet the world's top fleets.
Perhaps, a new "Chosen One" will appear there.
"Hello!"
"Hopefully... there will be three top teams at the World Championship. I'll be waiting for you there!"
Zhou Zhong patted Zheng Hao on the shoulder, and Zheng Hao smiled helplessly.
"Let's check on them first..."
"How are you going to beat me in tomorrow's Azure Domain Relay Race?"
"rest assured..."
"First! It will only be the Zhou family!"
"Wow? What if I come in first place?"
"impossible!!!"
"If I get first place, you let me into the Zhou family warehouse, and I'll exchange the first-place reward for a [component] with you, how about it?"
"Hmph~"
"Let's talk about it after you get it!!!"
What was originally a scene brimming with youthful energy and enthusiasm has suddenly become incredibly tense and competitive because of tomorrow's [Azure Domain Relay Race]!
