Kii and Sosuke Takayanagi exchanged the latest information they knew, and when Sosuke Takayanagi learned that the newly appeared Katsuro Suhime had "taken material" from Naka, he was not surprised, but Yamato on the side was startled. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was past 7 p.m., and only the lights coming out of the house were left. Gonjun Sato suddenly made a booing gesture, and Sosuke Takayanagi was the first to react and hurriedly looked out the window.

"Spies?" Yamato lifted the command knife on the table and wanted to jump out to check, but was stopped by Sousuke Takayanagi. "Slow down, don't act recklessly. Kii, do you think you passed by an island animal or something ......else?"

Kii didn't pay attention to the movement outside at all, and of course he didn't hear a slight strange sound outside.

"I don't feel like there's any living creature out there peeking here." Kii came to the result faster than Yamato, who then nodded in agreement with Kii's judgment.

"There's no ...... outside" Sosuke Takayanagi and Gonjun Sato both thought of the possibility at the same time, "...... running away"

"I'll chase after you, please judge whether you want to raise the alert level." Kii pushed open the window and jumped from above, and after falling down a steep slope, she saw traces of climbing on the mud floor, and the other party's shoe prints pointed to the window.

"How? Kii? ”

Hearing Sato's shout, Kii waved in response. "Someone just peeked here, I'll see if I can catch up with each other."

Kii doesn't have to be afraid of any of them except for the current central perch, so it makes sense for her to ask for a separate pursuit of the enemy, anyway, it's impossible for the central sukhime to come here, and she pretends to peep, if that's really the case, she can only admire the depth of her calculations.

After chasing some distance, Kii was lucky to find a new shoe print, and the other party escaped and chose the wrong dirt road.

"Don't try to run away! Let's come out obediently! ”

Kii shouted a few times into the dark woods, but the other party's psychological quality was very good, and he didn't show any flaws.

"I know, you who are hiding in the dark and peeping are not from the deep sea, but from our side." Kii observed the treetops around her, turning her head to look in other directions from time to time, and she could already sense the presence of other people around her.

Cautiously approaching a large tree, Kii quickly rushed behind the tree, naturally not seeing anyone. "I don't want to believe that any of us have an affair with the Deep Sea, but since this has happened, don't expect me to let you go!"

Kii took a few steps forward again, and realized that he seemed to be far away from the other party. The moment he turned around, Kii saw a black shadow jump from the top of a tree in the distance, and when he landed, he ran deeper into the woods.

"Stop!" Kii hurriedly chased after her, although she chased with all her might, but the other party was also at least the ship's mother, and Kii couldn't catch up with the other party.

In the dark woods, when Kii reacted to the loss of the target, he could no longer see the slightest figure of the other party, and this time the other party did not choose the dirt road, and Kii could not find the footprints of the other party.

Kii wasn't just casually scaring the other party, but before jumping out of the window to chase him out, Sato Gonjun quietly told her that the peeping was probably someone from his side.

After the deep sea fleet gained a huge advantage, there were traitors on their side, and the situation did not completely improve because of Kii's return, as another "Kii" told her, her Kii's return was just a chance for the ship's side to continue the war, that's all.

Kii, who had no harvest, was about to return the way she came, but she suddenly found a medicine bottle on the side of the road, and it looked new, the medicine bottle was all in German, and it seemed to be a high-end medicine imported from Germany. As a ship's mother, it is easy to buy and even get imported drugs directly from the quota, but for the time being, the Navy Headquarters does not care whether there will be a case of lying and corruption. A ship girl with the status of Kii doesn't need to get extra money by lying about her needs.

“…… Nerven？ Neurological drugs? ”

First of all, the ship's mother almost never gets sick, so almost even the inspectors of the naval headquarters default to the ship's mother's declaration of drug needs to take care of the subordinates in the team, so originally Kii didn't think that relying on a medicine bottle could be regarded as a clue, but the illness or abnormal condition in the mental state was completely reasonable.

――――

"So, Admiral Kii spent more than half an hour chasing back an empty medicine bottle." Sousuke Takayanagi looked at the medicine bottle on the table, and didn't laugh at Kii by the way. "Yamato, tomorrow morning you will secretly send someone to investigate who in each team has declared the use of this drug. I think there are very few people who need these kinds of neurological drugs. Clozapine？ The Germans were really idle, wasting precious human and material resources on the development of antipsychotic drugs. ”

In the eyes of Sousuke Takayanagi, the vast majority of people are fools, low-level soldiers who hinder the development of human society, and even in allied Germany, advanced medicine has become a useless thing in his mouth.

"What do you mean that you only chased an empty bottle, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief Sousuke Takayanagi! Relying on this, you can't track down the betrayer, doesn't it seem that you are incompetent? Kii reclaimed the medicine bottle slightly unhappily and gave the other party a blank look. The battle is left to me, and the work of thinking with your mind is of course left to you. ”

"Admiral Kii is already much smarter, at least she thinks this vial is a key clue at first sight." Sato reached out and touched Kii's head, and by the way, picked out a fallen leaf from behind Kii's collar. "I don't think there's any need to investigate, the answer is obvious. If you want to say which ship's mother didn't take some bribes and launder money behind her back, I really didn't say it immediately, but if you want to say which ship's mother has abnormal neurological problems, I know. ”

Yamato is not happy with Sato Gonjun's statement, after all, Kii is known to be rich, and she took advantage of the war to make money completely to support Sosuke Takayanagi's unbridled military spending, although in terms of the means used, the current first team is the most inhumane team in this regard. "Secretary Sato, please be careful with your words, and please don't mention unnecessary things that are a waste of time."

"That's right, let's talk about which ship's mother has a need for this kind of medicine?" Kii was surprisingly unanimous on Yamato's side, completely forgetting that he had just been ridiculed by Sousuke Takayanagi.

"Kawahsiung, the No. 1 ship of the Kaohsiung-class heavy cruiser of the new Fourth Sentai Squadron, although Atago also has some problems, according to my past investigation, the situation in Atago was basically normal a year ago. Only Kaohsiung is still the most reluctant to be mentioned by the members of the new fourth team. ”

Kii had a slight impression that in the past, because of the relationship between the admiral of the old Fourth Sentai team, she was a ship girl who belonged to Nagato's side, but since the failure of the mutiny, they have been imprisoned for a period of time after losing the admiral. Ji Yi will not forget that he was blocked by Kaohsiung and Maya when he was in Shanghai, and then he was scolded by his brother Sanjo Terumasa for this.

"Those unpleasant heavy cruiser mothers? It's unlikely, Dafeng is an extraordinarily strict soldier, and it is impossible for his subordinates to condone such a thing. Kii thought of the short little girl who was now the commander of the Fourth Sentai team, and he thought it was impossible. The four Kaohsiung-level sisters didn't make a good impression on her, but Dafeng was not bad in her impression.

"At least 80% likely." Sato Gonjun directly ignored Kii's opposition and simply made a judgment. "Kaohsiung also has enough motives, and it is said that the current United Fleet or the Japanese government is her enemy. With the idea of dying together, it is not impossible to plan to surrender to the enemy. ”

"I'd like to believe that it's 90%, since the new Fourth Sentai of the Marshall Naval Battle joined, the Kaohsiung-class heavy cruisers have hardly been harmed, and they are not Kii." Sosuke Takayanagi deliberately said this to Kii when he said this. "The authority of the daughter of the deep sea or something, it's really enviable. Admiral Kii is not suitable to be an inspector, and he always starts with the analysis and judgment of the suspect that the object is a good person, and there is no way to find the real bad person. As long as there is suspicion, regardless of that person's past identity, deeds, and personality, you must try to put on a suspicious cloak for that person. ”

Sousuke Takayanagi took out a notebook and wrote some order on it, "Yamato, don't look for possible traitors. You go and investigate the new Fourth Team yourself. Just do what is written above. ”

Neither Kii nor Sato saw the content of the note, and neither of them would ask to see it.

"Tonight's events are enough to keep you awake. I took my leave with Admiral Kii. ”

After Kii yawned, Sato Gonjun took the initiative to ask to leave, tactical research is not important, at least now that the IJN Combined Fleet has air supremacy, it is still no problem to take advantage of the momentum of Kii's return to agree to the enemy of St. Bruce.

After Kii and Gonjun Sato left, Yamato handed back the blank note in his hand to Sosuke Takayanagi. "I don't really understand ......"

"The traitor I peeped at just now is definitely not Kaohsiung, nor is he from the new Fourth Squadron. Even if I doubt that there will be a ship's mother mutiny, we can't be sure for sure. Don't forget, it was Sato Gonjun who originally decided that there was someone outside, and even you and Kii didn't notice it. Keep an eye on everything, and don't forget that Kii is the daughter of the deep sea, and she is the one who is suspicious. In addition, there is Sato Gonjun next to her, who is connected to the will of the deep sea like me. The degree of suspicion in terms of personality is very high. Assuming that he set up a situation to frame the new Fourth Clan, all his actions and words just now would make sense. Sousuke Takayanagi crumpled up the blank sticky notes and threw them into the wastebasket. From the very beginning, I didn't see Kii as a reliable collaborator. ”

"According to your Admiral, you are also suspicious, and you may also have a connection with the will of the deep sea. It's hard to get rid of suspicion, but smearing is just a matter of pouring sewage over the subject. I think you're overly worried, I'm not sure she'll have to be a secretary, but Kii can be a trusted partner. "Yamato didn't understand that Sosuke Takayanagi was slightly hostile to Kii, and from her point of view, Kii was not only a silly and sweet deceitful child, but also an important trump card, and there was no reason to exclude an ally like Kii.

"For the time being, think it hasn't happened, Yamato. Do you understand? ”

"Yes." Yamato believed and obeyed Sousuke Takayanagi's orders 100%.
