Interlude
["I heard you want to see me alone? Daughter of the Deep, you seem to ...... It's not like your sister. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Human, you are also different from other humans. You seem to be able to see the future, and I can't do that, so I want to know. ”
"I said I'm from the future, do you believe me? You're certainly not ......."
"Believe, I believe what you say."
"Heh, well, we're not wasting any more time. I've told you why, well, now it's your turn. Tell me, what's the matter with me? If it's too boring to be locked up in a glass room, I'll tell Dr. Kitamura to find you more books on Arabic astrology and the like. ”
"I want to cooperate with you, I will help you clear out all the strong enemies, and in return you will teach me what I don't know."
"Even if my enemy is your deep-sea side, or even your mother?"
"Of course, human." 】
The two who are opposed to each other officially become partners on that day, one is a future person who travels through time and space to create a new history, and the other is the only two most perfect works in the deep sea habitat, but the two who should be hostile to each other come together.
At that time, the "ship girl" had just been born, and the two had not yet obtained the name of the ship after that. The bond called fate connected the two in advance.
["My name is Akasa Fujita. ”
"I don't have a name."
"It's okay, you'll have it soon...... First of all, I will give you a small test, now that the research in the institute has shifted its focus to other directions, can you try to get out of here yourself? I'll be waiting for you at the Imperial Naval Academy in Kure, but don't let me down. ”】
――――
The mask shattered, and "I" slipped from the seat and fell to the ground. Being so ugly in the arena of the gods will not be cared for, but will only become the laughing stock of the gods.
The referee, Angel, immediately paused the game and asked like the person sitting across from me.
"Take a moment, with such a subtle move of mine, it is only natural that a mere human needs a moment to accept and understand."
The chess player, known as "God", disappeared from his seat in style, and victory was just about to reach him, and I firmly believe that. The so-called benevolence of the gods is also cold to the cruelty of the soul in a sense.
"Surely we have lost, and without the important chess piece of 'Kaga', how can human beings defeat 'God'? And a series of COMBOs have a clear purpose and leave no weaknesses. Not only did he eat the 'Kaga' pawn, but he also took advantage of the situation to increase his 'Central Suhime', and in this way, he approached the 'Kii' KEY pawn. ”
"That's not necessarily, the authority of the Daughter of the Deep includes the 'resurrection authority', and if it can be delayed for decades, maybe it will be able to wait until the resurrection of 'Kaga'."
"Decades? Within a year, the board will be cleaned. The only turning point should be on 'Kii', and finding a way to let the 'Kii' pawn escape is the only chance. ”
"Run? Don't you see that the piece still has the 'Sleep' debuff in its status bar? There are still more than 2 hours left in the time limit, which is enough to capture the central perch who has obtained the permission of the Daughter of the Deep. This game is over. ”
The gods who watched around took the opportunity to start a small group discussion, and the game that took place here attracted their bad taste, and it was obviously more interesting to incorporate futuristic technology or superpowers into traditional historical scripts than the old-fashioned gameplay of the past, and they wanted to learn the tricks through this game of chess.
I got up from the ground when someone reached out and helped me. "Don't get me wrong, I just don't want to put the chips on you for this level of matchup. It's wonderful, human. Come on, you haven't lost yet, don't pay attention to other people's words. As long as this winged little brother hasn't ruled you to lose, you can consider forcing a draw first. Am I right? Umpire? ”
The angel glanced at the demon duchess with a slight disgust, and picked up the fragment of the mask on the ground for me. "Does it need to be fixed?"
"No need ......"
――――
The fog cleared, and Akagi appeared on the seat, dressed in a "black" cape jacket, refocusing her attention on the chessboard in front of her.
"The Demon Duke thinks I still have a chance to win, or force a draw? But I ...... I can't do it, there's no chance anymore. The two most important Daughters of the Deep in this chess game have returned to the side of the Deep Sea. All the sealed deep-sea technologies and ships can be activated, with the weapons of the early 20th century, plus less than 100 ship girls, can you still win? ”
On the front line of the Hawaiian Islands, several fleets were locked in a stalemate, and although the fleet led by King Kong successfully killed the harbor Suhime, the middle Suhime also managed to inflict heavy damage on the rear supply points of the IJN Combined Fleet, and nearly ten destroyers and Nako were killed.
The second battle point takes place on the other side of the Hawaiian Islands, on the other side of the Hawaiian Islands, and this information has just appeared on the map. The expulsion of the suhime has already defended the island, and the central suhime defeats the diving suhime and steps into the "grave", and Kii is in a catastrophe.
Akagi watched the chess game and couldn't help but cry, although it would only bring her the ridicule of the gods, but she was really not used to the most important Kaga leaving from her.
"I'm a spectator, so I can't give you instructions. But since humans can kill Kaga, they can also ......"
When the demon duchess wanted to continue, the angel on the side immediately waved her hand to expel the other party. "Sorry, although you are one of the big money players in this chess game, the massive chips you put down can only give you the most distinguished guest seat, and it cannot violate the rules of the game. Thank you for your understanding. ”
The angel bowed to the VIP seat next to her and apologized, and the demon duchess appeared in her seat in an instant.
The angel's actions aroused the dissatisfaction of some of the gods sitting in the guest seat, many of whom were gods like the Demon Duchess who threw a large amount of chips under Akagi, and of course hoped that Akagi, a special human chess player, would teach the arrogant "God" a good lesson.
"Come on! Humans, don't lose! Take out the backbone of your human beings, stop thinking here, and wait for the day when Kaga will be resurrected? If that piece is important to you, continue the fight through the board here, and if you surrender, it's all over for the board. ”
A god in Roman armor brandished a stick and encouraged Akagi, as if the god's encouragement was strongly incendiary, and when Akagi turned back to think about his next move, he felt a faint amount of courage in his hands.
"I can still move the pieces. Please give me a moment, I won't throw in the towel for a while. ”
It is the gods who inspire Akagi for their own selfish interests, and this is perhaps the most "merciful" moment for the gods, who want to "help" mortals from the bottom of their hearts.
"You VIPs, it's too much...... "The angel will not let go of the other party's small actions of interfering with the chess game, and he was about to come forward to denounce it, when a certain god who had just left opposite Akagi returned.
"No, I gave permission, both players don't think it's a foul, and it should be accommodating."
"Yes, it's up to you." The angels willingly returned to the referee's seat, signaling silence to the onlookers and returning to their seats.
God didn't rush to ask for the game to continue, he shrouded in a white light, and motioned for Akagi to think slowly. "Human, I can feel your sadness. But this is war, taking each other's cherished pieces, and so is the game, and so is the war. I'm willing to wait for you until you decide what to do next. ”
Akagi wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, constantly looking for his own chess pieces on the chessboard that could change the predicament. "Ash Land...... Sousuke Takayanagi has also been there before, can he ...... No, I can't think of a suitable move...... If he can't do it......"
Akagi seemed to think of what kind of purpose there were still those remaining chess pieces at hand that could be used. At the moment when Akagi lost Kaga, a large area of the WHO-class regular air carrier on the chessboard turned gray, which means that the WU-class regular air carrier has also been re-drawn to the free distribution sequence like other deep-sea ships, and is no longer a subordinate chess piece unique to Kaga.
In addition to the human side, the chess pieces that can be used by the deep sea side are naturally the chess pieces of the deep sea, and although most of them are hostile, there are chess pieces that can be used through communication. Akagi kept rehearsing the next moves in her mind, she didn't know what God would do after that, but using all the pieces she could use was her only chance to turn the corner.
"You seem to have an idea? If it's ready. Can we continue the game? There's no point in crying in front of me, hold up your cherished chess pieces and declare 'Checkmating!' to me. 'to stop me from continuing to take away your cherished pawns.' Keep in mind that when you decide to continue, I will be playing more cruelly and against you than before. "God said that in the previous games, the chess pieces were rarely moved, and many times it was left to the chess pieces to act on their own.
Akagi stretched out her hand and touched a chess piece she wanted to control, although it was a small "human" identity chess piece, but the moment she touched it, many possible moves were listed in her mind. "It's true that I'm too reliant on 'Ship Niang'. Now I'm ready to move on with the game. ”
The referee Angel gently rang the referee bell, and the chessboard was lifted from the timeout. With today's big disadvantage, Akagi moved a chess piece that seemed to be of little significance.
"Is this human? Can you convince him? It seems that the pain of losing Kaga is not enough to destroy your intellect, and I must continue to attack you at your vital point. ”
God unexpectedly did not give up the round, he also specified a pawn and began the layout of his next conspiracy.
