"It's so crowded." Standing on the deck of a cargo ship. Akashi looked at the deck that was already crowded with the ship's mother. Said helplessly. It's the same as just being on the deck of the Serena.

"Stop complaining. Anyway, it's just for a while. I can't bear it. Luke stood at the bow of the ship. I looked at the port of the Doge's Palace, which I was already able to see. Luke shrugged his shoulders. What should come is always coming. Estimated to have passed today. The profession of Admiral is about to say goodbye to him.

The Serena was quietly docked at the bottom of the sea, fifty kilometers away from the port of the Doge's Palace. There is a concealment system on board. Those old-fashioned underwater hearing machines of the ship's mother couldn't detect her at all.

Although the materials of the hull are not very high-tech. But the sound of the engine is completely different from other ships in the deep sea. Even if they detect it. I guess I just thought it was some strange underwater creature.

A distance of more than a dozen kilometers is a matter of time. Jumped out of the crowded cargo ship. Akashi finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Ahh It's finally time to stop. I really don't understand you. Obviously there are such good ships. You have to hide it. He pouted slowly. Akashi took Ashkami's hand.

"Ahh Ashigara and I are going to the gendarmerie. Find yourselves a place to live. Call me about something. He shook the phone in his hand. Akashi pulled the footgami and left.

"Let's go. Let's find a place to stay. There aren't enough people on this small boat. "Jumped off the boat. Luke grabbed his coat and walked towards the outside of the docks. It shouldn't be difficult to find a place to live at this time. They're late to the game. Some of the admirals had already returned early to report on their duties. It's time to return to their respective townsmen's mansions.

It's the same as before. The one or two hotels not far from the port were underfilled. Luke: They're still a bit outnumbered, though. I almost couldn't live anymore. After all, this time they were all on the move. There was not a single one left in the house.

So many people. The owner of the inn was happy. These shipwives are all money in his eyes. There are basically no customers on weekdays. Every time to this day at the end of the month and the beginning of the month. The admirals came running with their wives and brought him money. Otherwise, those of them who run hotels may really not be able to do anything.

The entire area around the Doge's Palace is undoubtedly the most prosperous in the vicinity. of the region. Whether it's a variety of shops or a variety of buildings. And the area at the end of Luke's line of sight has begun to have large bungalows. The office building in which the Governor was located was also the tallest building in the entire area around the Doge's Palace.

The other buildings are only three or four stories high. The office building in the Governor's Palace was five stories high.

See this happens. Luke guessed it too. The situation on this star island. Eighty percent is not far from this governor's palace. It's basically a settlement built around the town guard's house. There may be big cities in the interior. I just don't know if it will be as prosperous as he imagined.

Luke didn't find any information about the outback in the memory of his predecessor. It's just that the managers of Star Island seem to live in the central city of this island. Minerals throughout the island are also mined from the mines around the central city.

Crude oil is mined in wells in the northern region of Sing Tao. All of these wells existed before the advent of the deep sea. It's still working as normal. It's just that the output may not be as good as before.

Luke's predecessor had heard that the island was looking for new crude oil when he was at the academy before. It's just that it hasn't been found for many years. After all, the area of this star island is placed here. It is only a few thousand square kilometers that are dead. It's nice to have an oil well.

Rested at the inn for the night. Luke and Lillian are also preparing to leave for the Governor's Palace. It's just that Luke's current image really doesn't seem to be related to the profession of Admiral. A pair of blue work pants. Plus a plain blue and white striped vest. The uniform hat was casually buttoned to his head. The outer garment of the uniform was also casually put on the shoulder.

Lilian, who was dressed neatly next to her, couldn't stand it anymore. "Hey. You can't be serious. It's only once a month when you need to pay attention to your image. You can't clean yourself up. ”

"It's fine. Anyway, after today, I don't know if I can continue to be a commander. Whatever others think. I just feel so comfortable anyway. Luke waved his hand. He didn't care about that. The old man of the governor reckoned that he would not be able to control him today. Even if he could, he wouldn't care.

"We're leaving. Honestly, wait here now. It won't be long before we'll be back. Luke waved his hand at the shipwives standing in the doorway. Walked out first.

Inside the office of the Doge's Palace. There are still a lot of staff and shipwives coming and going. The summer assault in the deep sea did not seem to have had any effect on the governor's palace. Naturally, Luke didn't come to see the scenery. He immediately walked straight to the governor's office.

By this time, the Governor should have already started his work. The Governor's Mansion is not like their small town Governor's House. Do whatever you want every day. You can handle official business whenever you want. This is a fixed working time every day. Stacks of papers awaited the Governor's disposal.

All aspects of the neighbourhoods surrounding the Governor's Mansion were to be brought before the Governor. Not so much the Governor. It's more like the mayor of this town plus the governor as a part-time job. After all, there is such a thing as defending against the deep sea. The ship's mother herself is able to handle most of it.

Some of the admirals of the town guard still don't care about anything. It's all over to my subordinates. I'm just idle all day long.

"Oh. You're here. Come with me. The two of them had just walked downstairs. Then he saw the governor walking with his hands behind his back. It looks like the Governor is also on his way to the office. After saying hello, Luke and Lillian followed.

"Luke. I think you already know the seriousness of the matter. "Sit behind your desk. He waved his hand at Oyodo. The Governor said with a gloomy face.

"Ahh Oh, yes. How. Do you think it's troublesome, old man, too? Luke smiled. said with a nonchalant expression. It seemed to him anyway. Then the Sing Tao People's Management Association is completely an organization that can be ignored. Although they are now maintaining law and order throughout Star Island. However, the implementation was still carried out with the help of the gendarmerie.

And the gendarmerie of the troops stationed near the island's veins and oil wells. By the time they came to arrest him, he had already run away. There was no threat at all.

Even if they sent a small force out to capture him first. Just the guns in the hands of those guys. Trying to hurt him is simply wishful thinking. He was not even afraid of naval guns. Are you still afraid of those guns?

If the gendarmerie has really mastered the art of growing mushrooms. Then maybe Luke has to watch out. But even if those guys do, they do. Did they rush to throw this kind of mass killing weapon in this land that was almost the last of humanity?

I'm afraid I won't blow him up by then. The whole of Star Island is going to suffer.

"Hmph. You can still laugh at this time. Now you are guaranteed not to be wanted by the gendarmerie. It's already the best outcome. The Governor raised his hand and slapped the table. He called out with a frown. The beard on his mouth trembled with anger.

Luke, this guy. He didn't think he would do anything. Maybe he will be stationed in that town for most of his life. Then when I retire, I will return to Sing Tao to retire. An ordinary admiral.

As a result of the last exercise. And the report that was submitted to him. He had to take a look at this guy who was originally a little stupid. I didn't expect so many new admirals to be among them. Luke's results are among the best. He is also about to have one more capable subordinate.

But it didn't last long. More than half a month has passed. Get. This guy actually raised the deep sea quietly. This makes him what to say. Deep sea such a thing. The opinion of the gendarmerie must have been very resolute. He's talking about it this time. It was only then that the gendarmerie gave up on arresting Luke.

But this condition is for Luke to hand over those deep seas. At the same time, he was removed from the post of Admiralty. "Thank you, Governor. But I should still be able to get the money this month. ”

"Money, money, money. Just know the money. Take it. Go and go. Hurry up. I'm upset when I see you. The Governor picked out Luke's certificate of resignation from the papers next to him. After slapping it on the table, he blew his beard and glared.

Lillian next to her blinked at this time. Listen to the conversation between the two without losing a word. But I just don't understand it. What kind of riddle are these two people guessing here?

"Thanks. Old man. I'll leave it here. Let's go first. Bye. He threw his uniform and hat on the couch in his office. Luke walked out with his salary voucher in hand. There this thing. This month's salary will be in hand.

"You guy." The Governor actually wanted to ask Luke. Where did he hide all those deep seas? But think about Luke's personality right now. Eighty percent will not obediently hand over those deep seas. Last time, he didn't let the deep-sea Fuso be caught by the gendarmerie. Then this time it will be even more unlikely.

"Governor. This is the end. Lillian saw that Luke had thrown his uniform down. Somewhat surprised, he asked the Governor.

"Ugh." While sighing. The Governor shook his head. "The news that he has taken in the deep sea has already spread here. The Gendarmerie headquarters also knew. It wasn't long before someone was going to be sent to arrest this little bastard. But I pressed it down. But the other party demanded that Luke hand over the deep sea. And he can no longer hold the position of Admiral. ”

"Huh. How so. ”
