"Then why didn't you take the initiative in Atago? Obviously you like the Admiral so much, huh? Yamato turned his head to look at her and asked curiously. She remembered that she was a loyal subordinate in the past, and every time she gave her a task, she would conscientiously complete it. If she was the king of the deep sea, then Atgo was the sharpest sword of her own king, and she had used this sword to pierce deep into the chest of the foolish admiral she was now in, and she had used this sword to clean countless timid figures.

However, these things seem to have passed, as if the pages of a book have been turned, and the previous records have been covered up so that there is no trace of it, but now that I recall it, I still feel very sorry for that fool, who was so brave, but was given a death by himself without hesitation.

And as the actor of that time, Atago also doubted his mission because of this, and produced a strange thing called emotion, and like himself, he was full of curiosity about the admiral who was willing to sacrifice for his ship's mother.

"I like it, but I ......," Atago muttered after a moment's silence. But I feel that I am very lucky to be able to stay by the Admiral's side, after all, I have made a mistake that cannot be forgiven, so I really have no qualifications to appear in front of the Admiral. ”

"In the past, I just planned to become a shadow around the Admiral, expressing my guilt and love for him in my own way, but what I didn't expect was that he would discover my existence and let me, who had only been living in the shadows, reveal the deep sea in the sun." Atago reminisced about the day he was found in the alleyway, along with the now wedding ship Bismarck. She felt that the Admiral could not detect her existence at all, and only Bismarck, who had a serious expression like a soldier, could have such acumen, sharp enough to detect herself in the shadows. "But that's okay, being able to stay by the Admiral's side so openly is something that I didn't dare to hope for in the past."

"So you're content with the status quo now, and you're going to stay that way?" Yamato understood what Atago meant, and in the eyes of his loyal subordinate in the past, it was a great happiness to be able to stay in the town guard's house, and he didn't expect to go any further.

"Yes," Atago nodded, "and I think it's pretty good, and it's the best reality to be able to watch your favorite Admiral every day." ”

"Ahhh Atago, how can you be so easily satisfied? Yamato stretched out his hand and shouted, lying on his back on his soft bed. If I could be like you, I wouldn't think so much. ”

"The king and I are different, after all, the king is the marriage ship of the admiral, and I am just an ordinary shipwreck in the town guard mansion." Atago shook his head, "The king has the qualifications to fight for it, and I didn't have that idea from the beginning. She looked at the ring on Yamato's hand, and a fleeting look of envy flashed in her eyes.

"Who said no," Yamato who was lying on the bed snorted coldly, "I heard from Bai Xue and them, and now that naughty big mackerel has also started training in the training ground every day, hoping to grow up quickly, and then become the marriage ship of that foolish admiral, even that young girl has the idea of becoming a wedding ship, don't you have Atago?" She sat up abruptly, squinting her inky eyes at Atago in front of her, looking incredulous.

"To say that there is no is a lie. But I don't really think too much about the wedding ship. Atago was silent for a moment and took a deep breath. She now recalled the image of herself knocking the young figure down with her sword, every wound so bright red that it seeped with blood. However, he did not have the slightest expression of pain in the face of such a fatal wound, and only deep regret and helplessness, and Atago still remembers what he said at that time.

"That's right, after all, you're a monster who doesn't know anything, how could you possibly know what I mean by love?" He clenched the Prince of Wales' command knife and slammed it to the ground, smiling mockingly at his aloof self.

I thought he would give up like this, but in the end, he handed the knife in his hand to him, hoping that he could return the command knife to his ship's mother, and told her that he liked it unspokenly.

Although he didn't understand what love was, he could clearly feel the heaviness and depth inside, as if every word he said had a deep weight.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————

"I was ...... at the time I did a lot of things wrong, and even if the Admiral had forgotten them, he chose to forgive. Atago shook his head, indicating that he couldn't let go. And I can't forget and forgive, at that time, I was so ruthless to bury his only hope completely, without the slightest hesitation and give him the opportunity to explain, carrying a long chopping knife, turning the newly born town guard mansion into a tomb. ”

"I've done unforgivable things like you said," Yamato said loudly, "It's not that you don't know that at that time, you suddenly turned into the sea and plunged your long knife into his chest, thinking that I didn't have any chance to meet him again, and I thought that I would spend the rest of my time in remorse." But in the end, I got my wish, and the fool finally woke up in his arms. ”

Speaking of this, Yamato suddenly laughed silly, like a happy child. "At that time, I had the same deep self-blame for myself as you did Atago, but that fool still chose to forgive." She stood up and patted Atago with an indifferent expression in front of her, as if to give her a silent encouragement. "So I think that fool still has a loyal subordinate of mine in his heart, otherwise he would not have stubbornly brought you back, I am 100% sure of that. Or...... You take the initiative to let me, the king, learn? She winked playfully at her eyes.

"King?" Atago looked at Yamato, who had suddenly changed his painting style, and was a little unaccustomed to it. "I ...... Can I really? She asked hesitantly, not having the slightest confidence in herself.

"Of course!" Yamato nodded vigorously, "And you can say this kind of thing about taking the initiative, since you said it, then let me, the king, learn it, otherwise I will do nothing every day except looking at the ring in my hand in the room in a daze." ”

"Could it be that if I take the initiative, the king will follow me?" Atago raised an eyebrow, indicating that he did not believe that the king, who had become so lazy, would not be as active as she said.

"I promise, if you reach out to that foolish Admiral, I'll snatch him back from that hateful Lexington." Yamato clenched his fists without hesitation.
