"ha?"
The sudden request caught Zheng Hao off guard.
He looked at Liu Ruyan, who was blocking his way, with an extremely strange expression.
The other person still held their chin high, arms crossed, looking like they were waiting for you to fawn over them.
"no?"
"May I ask you... why should I make a contract with you?"
A smile played on Zheng Hao's lips. Sometimes, he really couldn't understand Liu Ruyan's thought process.
"You! Stop pretending!"
"You still care about me, don't you?"
"Do you still remember what you said? That you would always be good to me! That you would strive to be my role model! That you would be loyal to me forever?"
"Now...now you've met the standard!"
"I can forgive and forget everything from the past, and I can turn a blind eye to the matter of that [E-rank ship girl]!"
"Make a contract with me right away, and this afternoon we'll go get our [Navigation Certificate]. Tonight you'll be able to enter my [Captain's Cabin] and sail the seas with me!"
"How about that? Am I sincere enough?"
Liu Ruyan reached out her hand to Zheng Hao, fantasizing that Zheng Hao would come over and take her hand, just like before.
but...
The other person laughed!
The laughter was very sarcastic!
Are you out of your mind?
"You! You're going too far!"
"Zheng Hao... I'll compromise. I can be your first mate, then... you can form a contract with me, right?!"
"I'm an A-rank ship girl, you couldn't find one even with a lantern!"
"If you form a contract with me, everything you've ever wanted can be fulfilled! Our Zheng and Liu families can reconcile as before and become the overlords of the Mountain and Sea Domain!"
He gritted his teeth.
Liu Ruyan wasn't without a way out; rather, there was only one path to ascension before her!
The SSS-class navigator I'd always dreamed of was right in front of me. If I didn't seize this opportunity, I probably wouldn't encounter one again in my lifetime!
For someone like that, she could take off her proud crown and become a [second mate].
only...
She never imagined that this person... would be Zheng Hao, the slut she had always despised!
"How about it?"
"This condition isn't enough?"
"Zheng Hao, don't go too far!"
Embarrassed and annoyed, Liu Ruyan pursed her lips, convinced that if she gave Zheng Hao another chance, he was destined to never let her go. After all, he had pursued her for so many years; how could he possibly refuse someone who had offered themselves to him?
Can...
Do you know?
"Some ships...they're filthy inside, no matter how nice they look from the outside. I still find their captain's cabin disgusting..."
"Liu Ruyan, listen up!"
"I will never drive a [Smoke Ship] in my entire life!"
"Get the hell away from me!!! If you don't leave... tomorrow you'll see the [Liu Family] surrounded by [Battle Ship Girls]!"
Zheng Hao glared at Liu Ruyan, who trembled at his words and immediately took several steps back.
"Wow, how dare she?"
"Shameless... You've been stringing him along for so many years, and now that he's successful, you're saying it's okay?"
"unbelievable!"
"......"
The surrounding chatter continued, and Liu Ruyan's face alternated between pale and flushed.
She felt very wronged.
Shouldn't men be considerate of women?
What did she do wrong?
Was there a problem with her test?
What's wrong with having a few more competitors before agreeing to a relationship?
Her eyes inexplicably reddened, and Liu Ruyan glared at Zheng Hao with hatred. She wanted to say her usual phrase, "I'll give you another chance," but she was inexplicably afraid that Zheng Hao would destroy the Liu family tonight.
"Tap tap tap~"
She could only stare as Zheng Hao strode quickly toward Mo Yurou.
Let's go!
"Yu Rou~ Let's go home!"
"Oh~ Oh~"
Okay~
Zheng Hao led the girl out of the crowd, and then suddenly took out a drawing from his pocket and handed it to Mo Yurou.
"Oh, right..."
"I forgot to give you a gift when we made the pact that day!"
"Here's the [Class C Sail] modification!"
"Huh? Give it to me...give it to me?"
"Yes! Take it!"
"......"
The soft sounds gradually faded away, and Liu Ruyan clenched her fists tighter and tighter!
"You! You!!!"
"Zheng Hao!!!"
"You gave away the gift you gave me to an [E-rank ship girl]?!"
"you!!!"
"......"
My inner emotions were incredibly complex.
Liu Ruyan felt annoyed, regretful, and ashamed.
For some reason... I felt a little jealous.
Watching the two people walking hand in hand from behind, her nose felt a little sore...
Clearly...
I was the one who arrived first!
Zheng Hao was clearly focused on him before!
Why should I?!
Why should some blond guy steal it from me?!
On what grounds?!
"Tick-tock~ Tick-tock~"
Tears welled up in her eyes, and Liu Ruyan was about to feel wronged.
"Da da da~"
Inside the Awakening Ship, a middle-aged man slowly walked out and gave Liu Ruyan a mocking look.
"Save your breath!"
Why didn't you do this sooner?
"If we had agreed to be together earlier, would things have turned out like this?"
"They refused my offer as an SS-rank ship girl just for that little ship girl! What are you, an A-rank ship girl, doing here?!"
"Huh?! Young Master Zheng didn't join the official ranks?"
"Holy crap! For Mo Yurou, you'd rather not have an SS-rank ship girl?"
