The day after Hillou accepted the position of Admiral—

"Eugen Eugen! Our first mission is coming! If you complete, you can get 10,000 funds! Sillou waved the task list in her hand and excitedly rushed to Prince Eugen who was standing on the observation deck of the Town Guard's Mansion.

"Ten thousand funds? What mission can get so much money? Sylvie, you won't be fooled, will you? Eugen lowered his head and hugged Sillou who pounced on him, and asked with some confusion, it stands to reason that a task like this kind of reward will be very difficult, and it will not be handed over to a new admiral like Xiang Silvi.

"Call me Hill Lu! I've seen the task, it's not difficult, it's to explore our sea area, and we only need to go deep into (9) nautical miles or so~ If there are additional discoveries, our income can be increased! If it's all like this, we don't need seven days to pay off all our debts! Hirlou pouted unhappily, he had already told Prince Eugen several times that he would not call Silvie Silvie, but Eugen looked at himself with the same eyes as the guard man looked at him, and he was called by his name on the identity certificate.

"Well... Isn't the mission fake, just exploring (9) nautical miles? "Prince Eugen still has some doubts about the task list after confirming that it is not fake, according to her experience, this task cannot be as simple as exploration.

"That's it! Let's go! I'm curious what the attack will be like with the ship's mother! Hillou dissatisfiedly grabbed the arm of Prince Eugen, who was standing there frowning, and then rushed out in a hurry.

"Okay, but I'm going to have to replenish my ammunition and oil, just in case." Prince Eugen nodded, since his own admiral is so anxious, he can't say no, after all, he is actually looking forward to fighting side by side with the admiral for the first time, although he has a lot of experience in his mind, but that is just experience, and the fact is still useful if he needs to practice himself.

"Hey! Enough enough~! Hillu scurried out.

"It's better to be a vigorous admiral like this." Eugen let out a sigh, although the shy admiral himself liked it, but it was too easy to be bullied.

"Our goal is to explore the sea area of the Black Dragon District (9) nautical miles, and when we reach the designated range, we can take pictures and retreat, and if we go further, we may encounter a high-level mid-axis deep-sea ship. Admiral, got it? ”

"Got it, got it!" Hillu gave a quick tap to her little head.

"So how do we strike... Is it for me to ride on you? But Eugen is only so big~ If I sit up, won't I be able to move? It's better to take a small boat by yourself... But if I need a boat, I won't be able to leave... There's only one ship in the town's house..."Hillou and Eugen stood by the sea, excited about the first sortie that was about to begin, even though she didn't usually talk much.

“...... Sometimes I really wonder if you graduated from Lan Xiang, after all, Lan Xiang is a famous Admiral Technical College in Donghuang, and I don't even know this little knowledge. Prince Eugen reluctantly touched Hirlu's little head, and then jumped into the sea, and in Hillu's panicked shouting, a huge warship appeared on the sea.

"Wow....! Is this the essence of Prince Eugen? At least 100 meters long! Hillu pointed to the behemoth and exclaimed.

"More than that~ the total length of the ship (m) 212.5, the full width of the ship (m) 21.3, the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen reports to you! My Admiral! The voice of Prince Eugen came from behind, which made Hirlou a little stunned, it turned out that he was short-sighted, and Prince Eugen was more than 200 meters away.

"Wait! Aren't you, Prince Eugen?! Hillu finally reacted, why was Eugen in the sea and still outside?

"This is the embodiment of a mental model! It can be separated from the ontology, just like a projection with a physical body. Prince Eugen picked up Hirlou and walked from the deck of the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen to the hull.

"Poof! Wow, what a thick cannon! Hillou looked curious when he saw the four main guns in front of the battleship, and then jumped out of Prince Eugen's arms and touched them with some curiosity.

"This is my main gun, there are four of them on board, and the caliber is 203 mm! Ah, don't touch it! Prince Eugen heard Hirlu's exclamation, and said with some smugness, although his main guns were not powerful for those battleships, but he was still a little happy to hear the exclamation of his own admiral, however, after Hirlu's hand touched it, Prince Eugen's face became crimson.

“... Uh, sorry, forgot that the battleship is your body. Embarrassed to withdraw his hand, Hirlu thought to himself with some evil taste, then is he stepping on Prince Eugen now~

"Okay, let's go, (9) The road in the sea doesn't take much time, it only takes an hour or two, and at full speed, it should be shortened by half, but the Admiral's first attack, I'll be slower." After Prince Eugen finished speaking, the impeller [if you don't understand it, you don't understand it] at the back of the battleship under his feet began to rotate slowly, and at the same time, the roar of the boiler came from the hull.

"Eugen, what does the mother of the deep sea ship look like? Is it the same as Eugen? Why are they hostile to humans? After the Prince Eugen had traveled nearly a nautical mile to the sea, Hirlo was a little bored, and simply asked Prince Eugen beside him, who was looking into the distance with a serious face.

"Hmm... Most of the deep-sea ship girls don't have a projection [humanoid], they are all the appearance of warships, their strength is not strong, there are quite a lot, but their intelligence is low, I don't know why, they always maintain a hostile attitude towards humans and ordinary ship girls, and there are a small number of ship girls, they have a human form, and the strength is much higher than that of the ship girls without a human form, and at the same time, there are different levels of intelligence according to their own strength, and even have the strength of a fleet of ship girls and IQ comparable to human beings. Prince Eugen said.

“...... Isn't that a great disadvantage for human beings? Hillu asked suspiciously, if there is a deep-sea ship mother who can single-handedly take on a fleet and has the same IQ as humans, then wouldn't humans have no way to survive at all?

"No, there are very few deep-sea ships of this level, and they don't seem to appear very often." Prince Eugen shook his head.

"Since the high-level deep-sea ship girl has a certain intelligence, have you ever thought about living in peace with the deep-sea ship girl?" Hillu blinked curiously.

"I don't know, it seems like a person...."Eugen's expectant face changed, and then he pressed Hillu into his arms.

"Boom!" The deck of the battleship shook slightly.

“..... Come, Admiral, go inside the cabin and leave it to me! "Prince Eugen's eyes flashed, his first battle as the admiral's ship mother must be fought well!

"No need! I'm going to fight side by side with you. Hillu shook her head, then stood beside Eugen and looked out of the deck curiously.

"Good!" Prince Eugen nodded, and looked at the dark blue destroyer that looked like a ghost ship more than six hundred meters away.

"The whole ship is on fire, Feuer !!"
