Chapter 3: Shadows of the Deep Sea

At the behest of the patriarch, Kii was assigned to live in an empty wooden house in the clan, and Yumi was assigned to Kii as an errand runner. The www.biquge.info of Kii, who was physically and mentally exhausted, was finally able to sleep in a comfortable hammock with peace of mind.

"Do you have any fabric to cover when you sleep?" Kii wanted to say "quilt" or "blanket", but that kind of word didn't exist in Old Deep Sea language.

As she expected, Yumi shook her head, indicating that she didn't understand why Kii had to cover the cloth when she slept. "Do you sleep in your kingdom with a piece of cloth?"

Kii asks Yumi to wake herself up after dark, and her expression immediately becomes heavy as she closes the wooden door.

The island's indigenous tribes are related to the deep-sea fleet, and Kii was able to come to this conclusion. Not only in language, but also the patriarch and Yumi mentioned "sea god" many times, basically all of them in the plural form, which shows that their gods will appear together in the plural form, so that after thousands of years of circulation, the people of this tribe naturally mention the gods they believe in and directly use plural nouns.

Language was used by the ancient deep-sea fleet, and the belief in the gods of the sea was plural, and Kii could already guess the reason - the will of the deep sea wanted to bring him to this island and get some important information from it.

Knowing this, Kii is not in a hurry to find a way to go back, first obtaining the will of the deep sea on this island is more important than what she knows, maybe it is an important clue to defeat the deep sea fleet.

Lying in the hammock, Kii gradually fell asleep, and although he was on an unknown island, he had a goal, and his impatient heart was soothed. She is still in the midst of a fierce battle, and this time the enemy is not which one is hime, but the will of the deep sea to test her.

――――

Between the rocks, an ancient creature with long hair hanging down the ground sensed a strange aura not far away, and it was the first time she had close contact with a new generation of women of the deep sea.

"Mother sent Kii here on purpose? She must have had some idea that suited her tastes...... Perhaps I should tell Kaga-sama that she will decide what to do with this matter. ”

Just when the diving perch wanted to send a signal, he realized that he couldn't get in touch with any of the outside world, and the entire sea area was closed.

"Only as a spectator? Or an actor? Mother probably doesn't want me to surprise you......" Diving Suhime looked at Kii's local indigenous tribe from afar, and then slowly sank into the sea.

"Let's see how good Kii is as a daughter of the deep sea, and Kaga-sama will definitely come to the 'graveyard' right now to solve all the puzzles and laugh at my mother, who is in the VIP seat."

After entering the water, her hull also emerges from the darkness, and she is a submarine-type suhime larger than all known submarines, but unlike the several ships that now make up the deep-sea fleet, the hull of the submersible suki still maintains a highly animal form, which can also be seen on backward deep-sea destroyers.

Two strange pipes connect the diving suki to her hull, which makes it impossible for her to move away from her hull, and even if she goes ashore, she can only move within the maximum length of the tube, and her own tube is easy to attack, causing her body to separate from the hull and die.

This design is clearly not suitable for war, at least in the current war environment.

――――

"The water ghost blew himself up? Hee-hee-hee-hee...... That's great! These former human souls should die out again in such a tragic form. Pass on my orders to let the Empty Mother and her Carrier Fleet sail into the Atlantic Ocean and destroy the human forces that are still resisting as soon as possible. Whether it's the victory of the Deep Sea Fleet or the victory of Kaga-sama's ship, it's what we should do now to spread as much despair and death as possible to the world. ”

It's been divided for a while.,At the moment, it's located in the former Holland Harbor.,Now the northern sub-base guarded by the northern Qiji.。 In her judgment, the chances of victory for the deep-sea fleet are very small, Kaga has been baptized by war, freed from the emotions given to her by human civilization, and Kaga, who is getting closer to the gods, will inevitably bring victory to the lucky country called RB.

If the war ends with the defeat of the deep-sea fleet, the will of the deep sea will definitely let the people of the deep sea replace the human beings as her spiritual food to pass the boredom, and the death of the water ghost in the berth is a confirmation of the will of the deep sea to put the dangerous blade on the neck of the deep-sea fleet led by the central suhime.

レ is very much looking forward to the way in which the central perus, who has always thought he could lead the deep sea fleet, will die in what way. It must be spectacular enough to kill more than ten years of boredom, and the souls of human beings are qualified to become the spiritual food of the gods, which is already a glorious enough thing.

The submarine that received the order began to send instructions to the fleet in Central America in the form of an electric signal.,レ turned his attention to the northern Suhime not far away.。 Holland Harbor had been reduced to her own paradise, and in this temporarily quiet sub-base, the northern Qihime had been obediently staying here since the Battle of Solomon, waiting for follow-up orders.

But now the deep-sea fleet with a lot of perched ones doesn't need a weak base-type perch, especially the northern perched one is more willing to obey the orders, and the central perch is now in the deterioration of the relationship between the two sides, and there is no reason to call the northern perch to fight.

Quietly walked behind the northern Qi Ji,レ suddenly reached out to cover the eyes of the little Lori,"Guess who I am。 ”

"レ-chan~"

Northern Qiji was not frightened, but it turned around and rubbed the palm of レ affectionately, "Friend~"

"That's right, good friends are close......"

レ was stunned suddenly, because the words it subconsciously said seemed to have been said to someone else a long time ago.

Shake your head and forget the misinformation generated.,レ picked up the northern Qihime.,Let her sit on his tail.。 "Come with me to the sea and play adventure games. Not far from Holland Harbor, I found an interesting underwater cave with a lot of strange fish. ”

Northern Qihime nodded happily in agreement, she had rarely had the opportunity to go out since she was born, but immediately she shook her head again and jumped off her tail. "I want to go, wait."

The northern kihime trotted back to the pile of stones she had built in the past few days, and used her assimilation ability to transform a freshly plucked palm tree into a giant umbrella, and then stuck it in the sand.

A few days ago, I saw the northern Qiji bring stones from around from time to time.,And then polish and build into a small pile.,And put a cross stake made of wood on it.。

"What are you doing? More important than we go to an adventure game? ”

"Well, it's important."

レ saw that the northern perch was interested in the stone,Can't help but have a desire to destroy.,Taking advantage of the northern perch in the reinforcement of the umbrella-shaped palm tree,It flicked its tail.,Launched a small bomb.。

"No, you can't!"

The northern Qihime noticed the movement.,Pounced hard.,Block the bomb with your belly.。 Of course, I didn't let the bomb explode, but it was even more confused, and every time the tide washed away the sand castle built by the northern perch, I didn't see the northern perch care. Why does Northern Qihime care so much about a few stone piles this time.

Bei Qiji got up from the sand, patted the sand on her body with her little hand, and pointed to the pile of stones that she was about to blow just now. "Shima Suhime."

"Huh? Do you mean that this pile of stones represents the remote island of Suhime? "I suddenly remembered that the northern perch was made of the souls of many children who died in the war.,Most of those children believe in Christianity.,Maybe the northern perch has inherited this human knowledge.,Building a ridiculous thing called a "tomb".

The northern Qiji didn't care about the surprised look, and pointed to another stone pile nearby. "Battleship Suhime."

Then the northern perch Ji pulled レ to the other stone piles, and she said the names of the deceased perch in turn. "Flying field Ji, Moordi water ghosts. Everyone, together. ”

"......" レ can't understand.,I don't want to understand what the northern perchhime is doing meaningless.,The deep sea perched hime died except for the wreckage of the ship.,There's nothing left.。 Body, memory, soul...... All will return to the will of the great deep, born out of nothingness, so that no superfluous fragments will be left behind.

The Grave is not suitable for the Deep Sea Habitat, because according to the values of the Deep Sea, the lost can be recreated, and the product of the recreation can absorb the disadvantages of the previous generation and become a new and more optimized weapon. There is no need to pay tribute to the dead, only to carry out the tasks entrusted to them by the will from the deep sea under the pyramid of authority. That is the meaning and value of their existence.

"They're all dead, they don't exist in this world, and there's no point in what you're doing." レ looks very melancholy, probably reminding it of its owner.

The northern Qihime waved her little hand, jumped and stepped on the sand, and then showed a happy smile. "Everybody, they're all here. We remember them. Together, we will not forget. ”

[How can you forget...... The Master I Serve ......]

レ rare put away a smiling face full of bad taste.,Collect stones from the surrounding area and pile them into small piles.,And then learn the methods of the northern perched in the past few days.,Add sand, mud and water to it.,Use the assimilation ability to strengthen the stone pile.。

"How do you make a cross?" レ held two pieces of wood and gestured to the cross.,After seeing the north Qihime nod.,Assimilate and glue the two pieces of wood.,Then insert it on the newly piled stone pile.。

"Who?"

"No name, she's my maker, my master."

After speaking, he pulled the northern Qiji towards the sea, "Forget about it, let's go to the underwater cave to explore!" ”
