Although the ship girl has long been integrated into this world, in this fortress city that is neither a front-line town guard, nor a resource production area, nor is it the location of an academy, the number of "real" ship girls with ship equipment and ship space does not account for too much of the population.

So when Arden walked down the street with Huberian, Wo Sex, and Kaga, it attracted a lot of attention.

There were even a few little girls with the potential to become ship mothers who plucked up the courage to walk up to Arden and the ship girls, handed over notebooks and asked for autographs.

"Signature?" Arden didn't know what a signature was.

"It's just a signature." Very skillful in signing his own model of Hubelion in his notebook, he looked very experienced.

“wo?” Like Arden, Wo-chan, who didn't know how to deal with it, saw that the other party handed over a few pieces of aluminum very well, and signed the word "wo" in the notebook without a teacher.

"Whew, I was just fished out by the Admiral, and someone asked me for an autograph...... It was so exciting for the boat. ”

Suppressing the urge to suppress his shock by taking a sip of wine, Kaga wrote "First Voyage Battle, Kaga" on the notebook handed over in the most formal font, and when he returned the notebook, he bowed deeply and politely, looking like a standard Yamato Nadeshiko.

"Is it just a signature?" I still don't understand what these girls in front of me, who have the potential to inherit the ship's uniform and are likely to become the ship's mother, are asking for autographs from them, but at least Arden, who knows how to write, also signed his name in the same way.

"That...... Excuse me, what are these passwords? Taking Arden's notebook after signing his name, the girls looked at the ghost-like words on it and asked Arden with some distress.

"Hey, Arden, do you think there is anyone else in this world who can know the Star Spirit Script besides me?" Curious about the situation, Hyperion leaned forward to see what Arden had written, and immediately burst out laughing.

"But it's my name." Arden felt that since it was a signature, it was a bit disrespectful to use other words, after all, no matter how correct the translation was, it was still a translation, so Arden wrote "Arden's Spear" in those notebooks in a dashing manner

"Then you should at least add a note, otherwise it will really be used as a password." Huberian took the signed notebook and filled out a note after Arden's name.

"Thank you, thank you." Seeing Huberion's understanding, these reservists bowed and thanked him more enthusiastically than Kaga.

"It's a pity......" Arden said with some regret as he looked at the girls who had left happily.

"Are you sorry that these girls will have to face the war after they become ship girls, and they may be lost at any time?" Hyperion grumbled at Arden's lament.

"I'm just sorry that they don't even have to succeed in this idea." Because he summoned the ship girl in some rough way (Result: Hyperion), Arden has a little deeper understanding of the nature of the ship girl.

"You're saying they can't be shipwives?" Huberian instantly understood what Arden was talking about.

"I can't say that I can't become a ship lady at all, but it's just that the odds are not very good." Arden, who has learned a little about the essence of the ship's mother, still has a doubt, that is, how his own admiral, the female demon king of the Central Academy, became a quasi-shipwn with a ship's space.

In his free time, Arden simulated his own admiral several times, and came up with the answer that Tidu's soul and body simply could not carry the ship's space.

"Not having to face the war directly isn't a bad thing for them, is it?" As a battle-hardened companion who was on his knees at the hands of insects or in his own hands, Hyperion knew the cruelty of war very well.

"But isn't the ship's mother supposed to gallop on the magnificent sea and engrave victory on the level of dawn?" Hearing Hyperion say this, Kaga said a little unhappily.

To Kaga, who said this, Hyperion just cast a sympathetic look.

Huberian has always felt that as a starship mother sailing in the dark universe, he has no common language with these sea ships that have not even escaped gravity.

"By the way, when did you come to know the Star Spirit Script?" Seeing Kaga's puffed look, Arden pulled away from the topic and asked Hyperion.

"I know Chief Lei, why don't I know him?" Huberian was surprised that Arden would ask such a question.

"That's ......," Arden remembered Jim Reynolds, the former commander of the Hubelians, who was the best human in the Koplu Sector to have the best relationship with the astral spirits.

Arden, who had planned to go shopping more and feel the local style of this world, ignored the significance of shopping for the ship's mother.

In other words, as a star spirit ark, she didn't know what kind of combat power would burst out when the ship's mother started shopping.

After resisting his desire to walk into a small shop on the street for the first time, Arden inexplicably found that Hyperion and Kaga were carrying an identical paper bag in their hands.

"Can you taste it, it tastes pretty good." Huberian, who had taken out a fish-shaped cake from a paper bag, asked Arden.

"I'm so blessed to be able to eat taiyaki." Kaga took a small bite with a happy face, eating the taiyaki in his paper bag.

"wo~" Even wo Sykes-chan holds this dish called taiyaki in his hand, and it has the same special aluminum flavor as Kaga.

"Where did you get the money?" Although the customs and habits of the star spirits are different from those of humans, the concept of currency still exists.

"The ship's mother can use the materials as money, that's what the kind taiyaki boss just said." Kaga hurriedly replied, after all, she had just been scooped up, and she was poor and white because she relied on the materials in Hubelion's pocket to eat this snack with the taste of her hometown.

Probably because of the soft-mouthed and short-handed eating of people, Kaga, who was eating taiyaki, threw away the plan he had always conceived to defeat Hyperion by words to Izumo Province.

"Can I only use materials as money?" Arden was keenly aware of the meaning of the taiyaki boss's words.

"It seems that the Admiral can do it too, and the kind Taiyaki boss is still asking where our Admiral is? Said that if the Admiral was not there, he could invite us to dinner, which was a good boss. Kaga said with a happy expression.

"......" Arden glanced at Hyperion, who shrugged his shoulders with an incurable expression of IQ problems.

"But when it comes to money, I think of a place where you can get the core of the transformation." Arden said with a sudden memory of something.

"What does the transformation of the core have to do with money?" Huberian asked, confused.

"Since the retired Tirbitz said that the core of the transformation is to be regarded as a capital preservation, that is to say, it should be something like a valuable product, and there will definitely be a place." Arden said as he turned his gaze to a building in the distance.

"Hey, you Star Spirits even have a bank?" Hyperion asked in disbelief.

“…… Of course there are banks, but they may be a little different from you humans. Arden thought about it, and said, the bank in the Star Spirit Clan that was also in charge of delivering things.

"Mention ...... Admiral? Are you saying you're going...... Rob...... Grab that ......" Kaga, who finally understood a conversation, asked nervously.

"I'm good at this, why didn't you say it earlier, Arden, I'm a professional......" Hubelion said with taiyaki in his mouth and his hands on his hips.

“…… Why do you think I'm going to rob? Finally, there was such a time, and Arden was also a little confused.

"Huh? Isn't it the bank vault you are talking about? Huberian glanced at his side and whispered, "Although we only have four now, oh no, three ships and one deep sea, but under the leadership of my Huberian Philip, the cricket bank vault has been captured. ”

"You changed your name?" Arden didn't know when Hubelian added a Philip to his name.

"I hate you more than anything else." Huberion, who almost fell flat because of Arden's reaction, complained.

"What behavior?" Arden used psionic energy to simulate three question marks on his head.

"This kind of deliberate demolition behavior when others are playing stalks!" Huberian exclaimed.

“……”

“wo?” ――
