The relationship between the Prince of Wales and the thief is very simple, just a cliché of heroes saving beauty.

From a very young age, a certain young girl who was confirmed to be eligible to inherit the suit of the Prince of Wales has always been in the strongest town guard's house, enjoying the best resources and receiving the best education.

The girl who has received the education of an aristocratic ship girl since she was a child is also determined to become the strongest ship girl.

The fate of this girl also follows her will, so that she has always been in a state of glory in which she is a top student in school, an MVP in the training ground, and a meritorious service after her service.

At least for the first half of the girl's life.

It's a pity that later, Fate, who has always taken care of her, didn't know how to play a big joke with her.

When this shipwive, who was already a quasi-hero, finally awakened to her glorious form one day, fate arranged for her an enemy that she couldn't defeat no matter what-Northern Qihime.

Just like she always thought she was the strongest, even the enemies she encountered were the strongest.

Powerful enough for this enemy to turn her and the town guard she served into an unremarkable ripple under the invasion of the Northern Deep Sea Fleet.

However, the joke of boring fate did not end, and a submarine that followed the Northern Fleet to fight the autumn wind picked her up from a pile of wreckage like a trophy.

"Why do I think you should hate her......" Arton, who had listened to the Prince of Wales' story, looked at the deep-sea submarine Qi Ji who was tied into rice dumplings, and said half-jokingly.

"I did think so at first...... "The Prince of Wales did not deny Arden's words", "but I couldn't beat her at the time, no, even if I was in my prime, I wasn't necessarily her opponent." ”

"Whoa......" I didn't expect the always serious Prince of Wales to pop up with such a reason, and a few of the shipwives who came to listen to the story didn't stand still and fell into the repair ditch.

"Later, I figured out that it's better to die than to live." The Prince of Wales took a sip of the whiskey that had been warmed in his glass and said, "And what sustained me at that time was the revenge of the northern inhabitants." ”

"Didn't the Northern Qiji sink later?" Lying on the edge of the repair ditch, Ti Du, who had seized the most comfortable position, asked.

"So I learned to drink, I learned how to get myself drunk." Shaking the hazel liquid in the cup, the Prince of Wales said expressionlessly.

For a moment there was an eerie silence in the repair canal, and those who understood what the prince was saying did not know what to say, and those who did not understand were unable to say anything by this delicate atmosphere.

"How can you be sure that this deep-sea submarine Qi Ji is the submarine that saved you in the first place? Judging from what you said, when I rescued you, that submarine was not the deep sea. Arden was the first to put an end to the silence of the repair canal.

"It's true that a lot has changed, but I won't admit it." The Prince of Wales glanced at the deep-sea submarine Qi Ji who had turned into a salted fish, because of the unique deep-sea submarine mask, the Prince of Wales could not recognize her appearance, but the prince still said with certainty.

"That's true, after all, there was a life-saving grace." Arden said this, but he didn't let go of the rope at all.

"It has nothing to do with that.,It's just a submarine that can be famous in the world as a thief.,Whether it's a ship mother or a deep-sea ship mother, there's only one.,There won't be other ships.。 The Prince of Wales's words were once again exchanged for a popping sound of falling water, and even Arden, who had always been calm, shook and almost didn't stand.

"Ah!? Don't! Could it be that your ship's wife who saved His Royal Highness the Prince in the first place was ...... Is that one? Nelson seemed to suddenly remember something, and her tone was less steady than she had always been.

"That's the one." Because of Nelson's reaction, the prestige of remembering something was first stunned, and then immediately said with a gloomy expression: "Didn't you expect her to become a deep sea too?" ”

"What are you talking about? Don't play dumb riddles! Ti, who was a little confused, said very unhappily, and she was confused in the repair canal, all of the people in the town guard mansion of No. 666 and the young master of the town guard mansion of No. 233 all put on a confused expression of what secret language you are using to communicate.

Under Nelson and Prestige's explanation, the bewildered people understood who the Prince of Wales was talking about about the thief submarine ship.

In the more than 100 years since its birth, although it has not made any great achievements, it has achieved a legendary body with only one steal, the fantasy ship Niang Nautilus, of course, it should be called the Nautilus now.

Because there are too many legendary deeds of her, in the camp of the ship mother, there is even a special magazine used to compile her deeds into a story that simply challenges the ship mother's brain.

If it weren't for the fact that the bounty on his body was too high and he was jointly wanted by the famous governors' mansions, this hero submarine with the highest achievement in the fantasy ship might also be a big star.

"wowowo" wo-chan When he heard the identity of this deep-sea submarine Qiji, wo said to the ship girls in front of him for a long time, even in the deep-sea camp, the elusive Nautilus is a legend.

"A legend." It seems that Ti, who grew up watching the adventures of the Nautilus, knows the origin of this submarine Qiji, and looks at the standard deep-sea ship suit on the other party, Ti Du said in an inexplicable exclamation.

"Maybe it doesn't make a difference to her whether she turns into the deep sea or not." After wo-chan and prestige, two veteran ship girls of different camps, explained the legendary story of the thief Nautilus from different perspectives, Arden, who sketched the image of a ship girl with a very neutral camp in the thought circuit, said.

"She is the pride of our ship's mother, turning into the deep sea is simply an insult to her, it must be the conspiracy of that group of deep sea sprites that made her sink." Nelson shouted in a brainless tone.

"wowowowowo," wo-chan retorted in her exclusive language, seemingly dissatisfied, hearing Nelson's words.

"I've seen a lot of your deep-sea ship mother's way of acting, and your explanation now is just a cover-up." Nelson, who understood what wo-chan said from his own point of view, didn't know that he had made a big oolong.

"Ahem...... wo-chan said, the Nautilus is obviously the pride of their deep-sea ship, when will it be your ship's turn...... wo-chan, don't swear in the future, it's not easy to translate, when will it be your ship's turn to point fingers. ”

Arden didn't translate the sentence that wo sauce said, and it seemed understandable that the ship girl was a human junior...... But if you follow this statement, who is the wife of the human race, is the deep sea?

"Huh? When did Lord Nautilus be the pride of your deep sea? Hearing Arden's translation, Nelson realized that something was wrong.

"wowowo" (isn't she that now!) wo-chan said without flinching.

"Don't argue, you better ask the deity." As he spoke, Arden bent down and nodded on the face of the deep-sea submarine Qi Ji, who looked like the Nautilus, and said, "You can talk now." ”

Hearing that Arden let go of his ability to speak, he hummed a few sentences and found that he could finally speak, and the deep-sea submarine Qi Ji blinked, and said in a somewhat innocent tone:

"I am indeed the Nautilus, but what you are talking about...... I've never done a single one. ”――

Hmm, overslept.
