Compared to the second team, Sosuke Takayanagi's team stationed in the Marshall Islands faced more deep-sea ship attacks, and the battle continued since they arrived in the Marshall Islands, so that the carrier fleet continued to support the sea area and could not effectively attack the enemy in other directions.

The 9th Sentai from the East 12th District to the East 10th District, which had set off for Palau Polty, was now on its way to the front.

When Kii returned to his captain's room, he was immediately startled, the round window opened, and the curtains were swinging in the sea breeze. What really surprised Kii was the appearance of a seagull with an all-metal shell on the table in the captain's room, and just by paying attention to the strange bird from afar, Kii could feel the power that belonged to the deep sea.

The metallic seagull suddenly opened its blood-red pupils and changed from its ornamental state back to a living body. It bowed slightly, and took a few steps back, revealing the object pressed against it.

"You ......"

Kii only took a step forward before the metal seagull flapped its iron wings and took off indoors, drilling through the round window with precision.

The strong wind blew the paper on the table, including the blank pages that didn't exist in it.

Kii saw a cake-shaped piece of metal next to the blank page, she had never seen such a paperweight, and she was not in the habit of using it.

Just as Kii put the metal block back on the table, the metal block automatically lit up and unfolded the light screen on Kii's table.

“…… Long time no see, my friend, Kii. ”

The pure white figure that appeared in the image slowly turned around and smiled at Kii. Its chest is covered with black scar-like lines, adding a sense of dirt beyond pure whiteness to its image.

Kii was sure that she had never seen each other, but her subconscious first reaction made her feel familiar. Friends who haven't seen each other for many years always play a game of "guess who I am" when they meet, but Kii can call out the other party's name without guessing, after all, the other party is her best friend before her death - Hua Kaiyuan Long Xing.

"Judging by your expression, you should already know who I am, and I'm glad that I wasn't swept into the garbage bin of memory by you. My friend, don't come unharmed, I haven't seen each other for six years, although we are both reborn from death, we can still recognize each other when we meet. Should this be fate or fate? ”

Once when Kii was still Sanjo Ki Lin, he relied on the help of Long Xing of the Flower Blossom Courtyard everywhere, and when he really faced the other party, Kii instinctively wanted to retreat. The other party knows all of her character weaknesses, and she knows the other person's genius scheming ability.

"Perhaps...... It's fate, the tragedy of a few of us. ”

She was even more jealous that Kii had the authority to get the Daughter of the Deep Sea, she was the most capable commander of the leadership, but she did not have the authority of the Daughter of the Deep, so she could only temporarily use the tactics of attrition to wear down the strength of the IJN Combined Fleet in a disadvantageous situation.

"It's because it's a tragedy that it's in line with who we are. We are pawns chosen by the will of the great deep, in praise of Mother. Our death and rebirth represent the official opening of the 'Pandora's box' of human civilization towards its demise. We will be the makers of a new era. "Only when it comes to the will of the deep sea, the central perch will not hesitate to praise it.

Kii would not have tried to reverse the fanatical allegiance of the other party with words, and even she herself would have a sense of respect when she heard the phrase "will of the deep sea".

"The battleship Suhime is the former Mito Hyozaburo, right? Her personality, who is obsessed with battleship duels, has not changed much. ”

"That's true. But unfortunately, she has died a second time, returned to the will of the deep sea, and became a part of the sea forever. There was no sadness or regret in her tone, and perhaps her emotional outpouring was limited to the lowest level, and she would be furious at the Pearl Harbor review, but she only stated it a month later.

"Keep fighting, and more will die. You must be the commander of the deep-sea fleet, can you stop? ”

The outside world may think that Japan is going to war in order to show justice like endangering the deep-sea fleet in North America, but Kii is well aware that this war is completely promoted by someone behind the scenes, and he is looking forward to the war going step by step. Ji Yiming knew that it was impossible, but he still wanted to try, even if he was ridiculed by his old friends.

"Huh? What stupid thing are you talking about? The war does not end, only begins. And what about dying in battle? The return of the soul to the will of the great deep sea is a privilege that we can all enjoy. Most human beings can only slowly dissipate after physical death. This is glory, glory that belongs only to us. "The values of the central perch are completely different from those of humans, and human life has become an ant that they can kill.

"We have to fight each other?"

Kii had figured out what to do, and she wanted to stop the other party from going to war, but unfortunately she couldn't do it. Needless to say, it was the central susher, and no one else would agree to a truce. War is a mission for the deep-sea fleet, and they will do whatever it takes to win it.

"That's right, fate or fate, I will do everything I can to try to defeat you. Likewise show your full strength for the sake of the humble human race. In this way, the two of us can get closer to victory. "What Pivotal Suhime is most looking forward to is to rely on thousands of deep-sea ships to consume most of the ships of the IJN Combined Fleet, and then use the Light Air Mother Legion to easily bombard ports and coastal cities.

"We are a special perch, especially you, the daughter of the deep sea." The central suhime did not show her jealousy, and there was a possibility that after Kii was killed, she would take the authority herself, but she could not have been qualified to attack the daughter of the deep sea before the transfer.

"I'm tired of this war without ice, and if you don't give up, I'll just keep pointing the barrel at you......"

Chushu Suhime agreed with Kii's words, because this is the source of human warfare, and the coldness born from contradictions. Even though human civilization has evolved for thousands of years, there is still no essential change.

"You feel cold because you haven't understood the joy of war, and you repel from your heart and see your comrades die around you."

As the central Suhime said, this war cannot end, and Kii is left with only one choice, and that is to face all the deep-sea ships. And if you want to defeat the central perch (Hanakaiin Ryuxing), Kii has no choice. She can't grasp the loophole as accurately as the other party, whether she wants it or not, she has to fire like her old friends.

Just like the decisive battle ship Suhime, Kii is constantly attacking the escort ship and the opponent's body in battle. If Nagato hadn't finally been abyssed and killed with the battleship Suhime, Kii would not have been able to find the next chance to defeat the battleship Suhime.

"Kii, now it's my turn to ask you. I'm just asking you one question, which will determine a lot of things to change. Seihime's tone became serious, and she stared at Kii. Would you like to be a part of the Deep Sea Fleet now? To tell you the truth, the two Daughters of the Deep are on your side, and I desperately need your permission many times. ”

Of course, Kii would not agree, she had already decided to fight for the empire to dominate the Pacific, and for the sake of her beliefs and ideals, Kii would also not accept the other party's meaningless questions.

"I refuse."

The central Qihime was not surprised by Kii's answer, and she continued with a little regret, "Then, I will try my best to get your permissions. For the deep-sea fleet, it is possible to have a higher level of authority to do many unimaginable things. ”

"For example, deep-sea submarines can't attack?"

"Looks like you know a lot, understand? As long as our deep-sea fleet gains authority, just lifting the confinement that submarines cannot attack is enough to put the IJN Combined Fleet on the road to destruction. The central suhime made a gesture of raising his hand, and in front of Kii, the white paper brought by the seagull immediately floated.

"I'm sorry, please take my battle letter. As your friend I feel embarrassed, but for the will of the great deep. I have to go to war with you officially. ”

Between the words, black ink handwriting appeared on the white paper, and a battle letter fell into Kii's hand.

"See you next time, we're the real enemies. Please also be careful with the strategies I devised in Hawaii. Kii, I'm looking forward to you showing your full strength. The Moorage Water Ghost (Kansuke Kuroda) will be the vanguard of the Deep Sea Fleet, and let the frenzied flames of war burn on the sea. She's not the one who likes to go head-to-head like the battleship Suhime, you've already learned it, right? She is a beast that tears off a large piece of meat from her prey when she has the opportunity. ”

The central Suhime turned off the video call, and the metal block on Kii's desk was scrapped. But she still held the war letter delivered by the other party in her hand, and she felt the urgency of the war.

"Anchor Water Ghost ......" Kii has learned the opponent's combat effectiveness in the last second battle of the Battle of the New Hebrides, although there is no double-layer ultra-thick armor plate like the battleship Suhime, but her armor is still a super-hard level that carrier-based aircraft cannot do, and a battleship like Kii can only penetrate with armor-piercing shells

"The old days are over?" Sato Gonjun pushed the door in, and with his habits and character, he must have listened to all the conversations before he appeared slowly.

"You can't call it nostalgia, right? You see, I've all received the war letters. ”

Kii handed over the battle report to Gonjun Sato, "Don't tell anyone about this. ”

"I know you know better than you what needs to be kept secret." Sato returned the war letter to Kii, which was only symbolic, took the metal from Kii's desk and left.

Kii can have a premonition that a direct battle with the Moordi water ghost will inevitably lead to the loss of the ship's mother, so this kind of task is only the most suitable for her to do.
