It was night, the lights of the headquarters were still bright, and the lighthouse on the island was also bright as normal, as if watching the fleet about to leave the harbor go away.

Hirohiko, who was at the headquarters, silently closed his eyes, as if praying for victory in the battle, as well as recalling his previous conversation with Kaga.

"If you want to defeat the deep-sea ship, you must destroy the opponent's regeneration center."

Kaga's expression is very serious, even if there is no change in his expression usually, Kaga, who has always been very serious, has taken out a more different expression this time, and it can be said that he said with a somewhat serious and terrible expression.

Neither before nor now, Hirohiko had never seen Kaga show such an expression.

"Regeneration Hub?"

Although it is not surprising that a deep-sea ship has such an ability to live like that, it is the first time that Hirohiko has heard of such a thing as a regeneration center.

"Yes, the Regeneration Hub, as long as that thing exists, the Abyssal Ship will recover almost infinitely, and even the number of fleets can be increased, which is not unusual."

Kaga said coldly, while walking to Hirohiko's side, looking at the lover's face, he couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted, should he lower his attitude a little?

But Kaga understands very well that Hirohiko is the kind of person who will break the casserole and ask questions whenever he finds doubts.

If he finds out that something is wrong with what he said, he is really asking for trouble.

But for the sake of one's own plan, this kind of risky thing is also acceptable.

Even if your identity is revealed......

"Then moving on, judging from the current situation, this regeneration center will definitely not be too far away from the main island, and if you find a way to do it, you should be able to solve the problem of restoring the enemy's combat power."

Kaga turned his face slightly and continued.

"But the protection of that kind of thing is also very tight, and there will definitely be heavy guards, or rather, it is likely that the device is on the island, so it is definitely necessary to continue the strong offensive battle, but I think this time I can send a special team to attack the regeneration center and suppress the activity of the deep-sea ship."

Kaga, who had thrown out a lot of words, finally stopped his mouth, as if he had finished all the words of the past few days.

And Hirohiko was stunned for a long time before finally reacting.

But what followed was not a wary gaze, but an ecstatic hug.

"Kaga, you...... Well done."

Of course, Hirohiko would never doubt Kaga, it would be better to help him solve the troubled problem, but it was not blind trust.

Today's departure was to prove Kaga's inference, and he still used the Southern Cross as a challenge array, and this time he also joined the members of the Twentieth Destroyer Squadron, as well as the flagship of the Northern Fleet, Nagato, and used Nagato, which was equipped with a 'recovery weapon', to deliver a decisive blow to the regeneration device.

The search for the regeneration device was left to the Twentieth Expulsion Squad.

The Southern Cross is a frontal attack team, continuing to act as a frontal attack on the Flying Field.

"Don't you doubt me a little?"

Kaga casually found a chair and sat down, while looking at Hirohiko with some confusion.

Hirohiko, on the other hand, opened his eyes, calmly took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, smoked one, and then skillfully lit it and smoked it leisurely.

"If I say no, you're going to lie too, right?"

Hirohiko said, spitting out smoke rings.

Then, Hirohiko stood up and looked at the silent harbor and the vanished fleet.

"I love you, but I'm also responsible for the fleet, and I can't afford to send my fleet to death, especially a good fleet like the Southern Cross."

Hirohiko continued to puff in the smoke and did not look back at Kaga, but just spoke quietly.

"I know you've changed a lot since we said goodbye, you used to be more expressive, but now you're more restrained, I mean it's not a bad thing, but it's not just that, you value your hair more than you used to, and I can understand that, for a while you'll disappear into the harbor and I won't ask about it, because I know that even lovers need a little secret."

Then, Hirohiko turned around, still facing Kaga with a warm expression.

"But, by all accounts, your daily routine has become abnormal, so, Kaga, I still love you, trust you, you are the best empty mother and my beloved lover."

Then, Hirohiko pulled a handful of silver-white hair out of his jacket pocket.

The two of them knew what it was, and they didn't need to explain it to each other.

The two of them just watched in silence, and then, Kaga silently shed tears, and her long brownish-black ponytail hair gradually turned a silvery white color.

Sometimes people are like this, always thinking that they have exhausted their last resort, but it is unexpected.

"Hirohiko, I'm sorry...... I...... I ......"

And Hirohiko just didn't say anything, walked over silently, and hugged Kaga's body again.

"No matter what you become, you are my Kaga, my flagship, my love, and no one can stop my feelings for you...... It's not you who is at fault, it's the deep-sea ship ......"

Hirohiko said silently and buried his head in his long silver-white hair, and did not speak for a long time.

It's like lost words and time.

Kaga's heart knot has been completely opened, and the problems that plagued her have been resolved one by one with tender feelings.

Perhaps, as a human being, he has lost his qualifications, but as a lover, he may have been completely qualified.

"Actually, I'm happy, Kaga."

Hirohiko gently brushed the silver hair with his palm, the texture was like cold steel, but his heart was infinitely praised.

"I have another secret with you."

Finally, in the quiet headquarters, apart from the sound of radio waves, only the sobs of the girl remained.

But all of this was recorded by a pair of eyes full of sorrow.

Her name is Aoba, a little-known heavy cruiser in Hirohiko's fleet.

"This ...... What am I going to do...... Kaga ...... Hirohiko senior............"

The already painful unrequited love has almost broken Aoba's mood, but this fact makes Aoba unforgettable.

Aoba, who originally planned to bury this matter in his heart, became the fuse for the future crisis.
