Chapter 402: V3 Ch 62. A ship striptease

I stopped at the battleship’s board.

“Is there something wrong?” The captain glanced at the ships.

“I just wonder if being carried in my arms would be fine with you.”

“What do you mean…?” (E)

“Exactly what I said. You can either swim, or be carried.”

“Miss, are you crazy? I am not your man to be even pretending to carry me around.” (E)

“Then how about you become one~?” I understood that the joke went a bit overboard only after I said it out loud.

“Let us pretend you said nothing. Still, are you sure it is the only way?” (E)

“As I said.”

“I would like to know the brazen Miss’ name, if possible.” (E)

“I’m Kuronami.”

“Simple and straightforward. Like a commoner.” The man mocked me. Of course I have a good retort.

“A commoner who has a warship squadron~?”

“Indeed. Allow me to…” The way the man acted before can mean one thing. There will be a looong introduction with all of his titles present.

“We are going to stay like this until the bitter end? Let’s be brief and straightforward. Like a commoner.”

“Fine. I am Emmanuel. Captain of Castillia Empire’s navy. Is this brief enough?” (E)

“Perfectly brief~.”

Between a disgraceful princess-carry to the ship, and a disgraceful oaring to the ship and climbing, Emmanuel chose the former.

“Giddy-up!” Without waiting for the lady-in-question to prepare, I picked him up and jumped into the water.

“WAAAAIT?!” (E)

A second later I accelerated. I glided on the water surface, and when I arrived to the destroyer, I jumped up.

“We’re back~.” I smiled to Yuriko who was waiting for us.

“Welcome back, Doll. A woman must not carry a man like this, you know?” (Y)

“Please, no teaching me how to be Yamato nadeshiko.” I put down Emmanuel.

‘Magnificent…’ He whispered.

“Today we have a special offer – explore whatever you want, if you agree to accept one favor of any kind from us.”

The man visibly hesitated.

From the way he looks at the funnels, I decided to sway him with another offer.

“Everything, including the engine~.”

The man started sweating.

“Your offer… Is… acceptable…” I couldn’t help smiling.

Then, the hell began.

Emmanuel crawled from the frontmost screw of the bow, to the sternmost.

The questions like: ‘how does it work’, ‘what are the fundamental principles behind this device’, and the ludicrous ‘please tell me how it can be machined’ were asked all the time. I had to answer, and pretend to answer what I don’t know. I explained everything. ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING.

I explained every screw thread, and why exactly this type of thread was used. I had to explain all of the gear, or rather every damned valve on the steam pipes. I had to freaking show how the damned gearbox worked, in action.

By the time we reached the first third of the ship, I was already like a squeezed lemon. By the time we reached the middle, I was weeping. By the time we finally approached the end, I was literally begging him to stop asking and just look.

“You are damned tech-geek! Why can’t you be a damned noble you are, and drink tea without asking needless questions?!”

“When will I have such a chance? I see a marvel of engineering in metal, and you are saying that it is not important?” (E)

“Why would you bother yourself…?! You must have a bunch of mechanics who would be fine with delving into the complexity of the machinery. Why would YOU do this?!”

“Tell me, how fast can this ship sail?” (E)

“35 knots…” I just want this to end…!

“This ship sails almost three times faster than our ship. Just a single piece of those marvelous technologies could accelerate the shipbuilding research by decades! Don’t you understand how important it is?!” (E)

“It is important. And for this exact reason I will not sell any piece, under any circumstances.”

“Then do continue explaining. I shall not stop until I hear about everything.” (E)

“FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!”

“I see… Are you tired…? Perhaps you want this to stop for today…?” (E)

“YES.”

“Then… how about you let me stay on this ship for some time, and check out everything myself…?” (E)

“YES. JUST YES. JUST LEAVE ME ALONE. PLEASE.”

“Then it is a deal~.” (E)

While it looks like I was frustrated and agreed without thinking, this guy can be very useful. If he will agree to help, then everything should be alright.

Alba would be glad to hear they have a steam-powered battleship on their side.
