Chapter 155: Arden's Optimism
"Ahem...... Why do you feel that your appearance is a little different from your original image? Arden, who teleported to South Dakota's side, said in some surprise as he looked at the complete liberation of this deep-sea dwelling body.
"What is my image in my eyes?" Nandakot said as he fished out the turrets beside him with his arms that had turned into large iron claws, and there were bursts of sparks.
"Do everything you do, do everything yourself, work overtime every day, and finally overwork senior cadres who retire early." Arden took it very seriously to describe the image of Nandacourt in his mind.
"Poof......" The maid chief who was brought to South Dakota by Arden couldn't hold back his laughter.
Hearing what Arden said about South Dakota, he knocked on the gun mount with a sharp iron finger, sighed and said, "It seems that this is really the case, and you should give yourself a holiday." ”
"Yes, managing a large fleet is a troublesome thing, and I know it very well." South Dakota once again gained the same prestige and said.
"At least there used to be Admirals, but now they all have to be carried by themselves." Nandakota said when he saw that the prestige was also a secretary ship.
"Who was Your Excellency's former Admiral?" Hearing the deep-sea roost in front of him say that he had a commander before, Prestige asked with some curiosity.
"I thought you would ask me why I remembered the past, but I didn't expect to care about a certain admiral, and it really deserves to be the ship's mother." The reaction to the prestige did not show much surprise, South Dakota said.
"With a powerful shipwreck like you as a secretary ship, your former admiral should be quite powerful, isn't it a big shot?" Arden, who didn't know what the big man in this world was like, asked.
"She's a big deal, but what's the use?" South Dakota, who called himself a feminine admiral, stamped his foot on the metal ground and said:
"If you take my body apart and look closely, you might be able to find a part of her."
"......" Arden, who understood what South Dakota was saying, felt the need to reorganize his perception of the deep-sea roostter.
"You killed your own Admiral?" Prestige directly thought of one of the worst possibilities.
"No, I've fought for my Admiral until the end." South Dakota looked at the somewhat emotionally fluctuating prestige and said, "At least at the last minute, we were in this together. ”
“…… I'm sorry for the abruptness. Prestige took a step back and said with a slight bow to South Dakota.
"Do you have this interest in taking your chief's ashes with you?" Arden didn't want to say anything about South Dakota's choice.
"She's not the only Admiral ......here," Nandakota said, glancing at the wreckage of the ships that made up the bottom of his body.
"Are they all?" At Nandakota's motion, he noticed that the wreckage of the battleship that made up the base of the body of this deep-sea habitat was a little different, and asked in a tone of disbelief.
"I don't know if I'm miserable or happy compared to other deep-sea dwellers, the pain is that I still have the memory of being a ship girl, and the happy thing is that they have accompanied me from beginning to end."
South Dakota, who withdrew his gaze, gently stroked the turret beside him with his sharp metal hand, bringing up a series of metal sparks.
"These are hero-level ship girls?" Reacting to what South Dakota and Prestige were talking about, Arden asked curiously.
"Yes, Elder Teacher, these were once the glorious armors of the hero-level shipwive." Prestige replied to Arden.
"The hero-level ship will become her own glorious ship outfit after the battle?" Arden asked, thinking of something.
"No, these wrecks only mean one thing, and that is that these heroic ships were sunk in the battle to open the glory form." Deep Sea Habitat Ji Nan Dakota said with some memories.
"Well...... Arden saw that South Dakota and prestige had entered a very delicate state, and decided not to continue the conversation on this slightly heavy topic, "Let the past be passed, and it is right to look to the future." ”
"Are Starship Niang as optimistic as you?" South Dakota said with a reluctant laugh at Arden's reaction.
"Probably because I need to be optimistic about the original purpose of the construction." Arden, who remembered something, said with a hint of gloom in his eyes.
"What was your purpose?" Nandakota, who noticed the gloom in Arden's eyes, asked with some curiosity.
"Uh......" Arden said, who thought for a moment, "and it's not something worth keeping secret. ”
As he spoke, Arden began to explain his origin in a somewhat nostalgic tone:
"In my homeland, my ship is called the Astral Doomsday Ark, which was proposed by the Council of the Supreme Protector during the Golden Age of the Astral Spirits, and was built to keep the Astral Spirits alive in a possible apocalyptic crisis in the future."
"When I was enabled, it meant it couldn't have been worse."
"That's why your personality is like this?" Hearing Arden's self-introduction, South Dakota somewhat understood why Arden had maintained such an optimistic attitude.
As a warship that has witnessed the heyday of its own civilization, the opening of the Doomsday Ark, which means that the light of civilization is dimmed, does need enough optimism to protect its civilization and continue to survive.
"So you've finally been enabled?" Nandakota asked with some curiosity.
Arden, who knew that Nandakota would definitely ask this, smiled and said, "It's activated, and I'm the only one of the three arks that survived." ”
“……”
For a moment, Nandakota wanted to see the bitterness in Arden's smile, but found that there was no such emotion in it.
In the current setting, the character of a ship girl comes from many aspects, such as the character of the captain and some named crew members, the age of construction, the background of construction, what it was built for, and what the ship has experienced will have an impact.
For example, the Rising Sun Empire's big head, as well as most of the IJN ships, have a potential tendency to blacken and attack to the death.
Another example is an ark ship that you will encounter in the future, and when she was built, her creator race happened to be dead.
So this ark ship is a kind of coffin board character, because she carries the last thing of an incomparably brilliant civilization.
However, these are the initial personality traits, and they will gradually change after becoming a ship girl.
After the preliminary explanation, the number of words has reached 2000.
