'So, Admiral, how exactly is that Maizuru guy interested in you?' ’

During Zeppelin's escape with the Admiral, the outlying island was lying very calmly in the ancient mansion located on the top of the hill and gnawing on the senbei... At the same time, I used the soul network with the admiral to talk about some content that didn't have much to do, and unconsciously the topic was on the admiral of Maizuru.

'Maybe... It's selling cuteness and buying too much. ’

The Admiral pondered for a while, the reason why Kaguya was so obsessed with himself was probably due to the Admiral's performance during Maizuru... It's really ...... How to describe it?

‘…… I guessed a little. ’

According to the Admiral's previous account, the Admiral still has an innocent and pure past...... At least when the Admiral was drying boats and looking for other people's Admirals to rub resources, the Admiral always used the title of 'senior'.

Let's think about it carefully in relation to the situation back then...... A young and cute boy, who follows you all day long and calls 'senior, senior, senior', still uses that coquettish tone, even if it is a straight man with a normal sexual orientation, he will always be bent one day, okay.

I didn't want to do it voluntarily! However, due to the need for assistance from Maizuru in terms of resources, he had to continue to pretend to be disguised. ’

'In general, Admiral, you really went to sell yourself in order to have enough food for your ship's wife? ’

Originally, the stalk of 'selling oneself for one's own family' that made people sound incendiary was just used by the outlying islands to ridicule the Admiral, but I didn't expect the Admiral to really do it before?!

And it seems that more than once, since the Admiral gave the Governor the order to support the local town guards, the Admiral seems to have been playing the role of a 'well-behaved junior'.

Of course... No matter how well-behaved this junior is, he will never show any mercy when it is time to dry the boat!

'It's all said that we only sell our bodies, not our artists...... Wrong! Only for the show! Although it was true that I was almost ...... by Kaguya' back then.

'What's wrong with the give?' ’

The outlying islands seem to have heard some ulterior black history again.

'Hmm... It doesn't seem like the time to talk about this on the outlying islands. ’

The Admiral is being held in Zeppelin's arms, and the soul network of this aircraft carrier mother is very keen, if the Admiral communicates with the outlying islands with the soul network for a long time, Zeppelin will definitely be aware of it.

If it weren't for your identity, the Admiral would really like to film your experience of visiting Maizuru in the form of a documentary, and maybe you will be sold on the kryptonite market." ’

'How is that possible... Uh......'

The krypton gold market can be said to be a market frequented by ship mothers and admirals, and the enterprise originally sold photos of the admiral in this market, and the result was of course a hot sale, this kind of documentary in the form of "Admiral Sashi's Young Daughter's Journey", the admiral can't deny the possibility of selling as the outlying islands said!

Speaking of which, you can start recording now... I remember that the deep-sea reconnaissance aircraft had a video recording function! ’

'Outlying islands? Outlying islands!! ’

When the Admiral tried to stop the outlying islands, the outlying islands had unilaterally cut off the soul network.

"Zero, bear with me, I'll be able to get out of here soon."

Zeppelin, who had been holding the Admiral, noticed the change in the expression on the young girl's face.

In order to evade the gendarmerie, Zeppelin chose to evacuate through the sewers.

This was also one of the routes that Zeppelin had planned in advance, so the special force that followed Zeppelin had already completed the investigation of the sewers under the gendarmerie not long ago.

This sewer leads to the sea area far from the sea area where the gendarmerie is located.

Zeppelin tensed his nerves and walked through the dim sewers for more than ten minutes, during which not even a small mouse could escape Zeppelin's perception.

The gendarmerie did not deploy any defenses in the sewers, and Zeppelin was almost certain of that.

In order to get Zero out of this unbearable environment early, Zeppelin quickened his pace... It didn't take long for Zeppelin to hear the sound of the tide crashing against the rocks, which signaled that Zeppelin was not far from the sea.

The surrounding air was also filled with the smell of gunsmoke, and many of the walls around the sewers had turned into debris, and the advance team had opened a path in the sewers with clay bombs in advance to cope with the current situation.

Zeppelin followed the smell of gunpowder smoke through the wreckage of the sewers to a completely destroyed wall.

Sea water poured into it from the destroyed gap, and there were even a few seabirds catching rats in the dimly lit sewers.

The presence of Zeppelin alarmed the seabirds, who immediately flapped their wings and returned the way they came...

“……”

Zeppelin unfurled his ship, stepped into the water that poured into the sewers, and along the way through the gap, Zeppelin stood on the sea again.

"This is the Count Zeppelin......"

Zeppelin, who came to the sea, turned on the radio and began to contact the submarine that was lurking around Japan, which could be said to be the headquarters of the operation, and Zeppelin only needed to bring the deep-sea roof back to the submarine, and her mission would have been completed.

But... Zeppelin stared at the young girl who was sleeping in her arms, and from the time they got along just now, this deep-sea roost had completely let down her guard against Zeppelin.

Really like some kind of little animal, Zeppelin looked at her sleeping face, and suddenly felt a desire to pinch her cheek, and even forgot to report the situation to the higher-ups.

"Roger! Major Zeppelin, report on the progress of your mission! Have you already recycled your target? Major Zeppelin? ”

A voice came over the radio, reminding Zeppelin of her mission.

"Most of the special operations teams were killed and a few were arrested...... Target ......"

Before Zeppelin could finish his report, the radio was filled with a cacophony of cacophony.

By... Interfered? And this one is......

Zeppelin immediately looked up, and she heard the sound of something pushing the surface of the sea... It's the ship's mother! There was a ship girl around.

And more than one!

Zeppelin immediately unleashed his reconnaissance plane and flew towards the end of the horizon.

The result detected by the reconnaissance plane goblin can be said to be the worst, and it is also the last thing Zeppelin wants to see.

She... surrounded.

A combined fleet appeared in this sea area, which was not at all part of the gendarmerie port, and their average rank was definitely not low.

With Zeppelin's ability, although he could not defeat this combined fleet, there was still a certain possibility of escape, but this possibility of escape was based on Zeppelin's alone.

Now Zeppelin has a young girl, and she is still a deep-sea roost.

It was almost impossible for Zeppelin to escape from that combined fleet.

The task failed.

This is a fact that Zeppelin had to face...... Even if you return to the sewers, you will only be caught in the net.

The gendarmerie is clear about her evacuation route!

The only possibility that Zeppelin could think of was that someone had leaked the plan for the operation.

The special operations team with which she participated in the operation?

There was no reason, with the interrogative skills of the gendarmerie ship, Zeppelin did not think that they would be able to bring the soldiers to their knees in such a short time.

Zeppelin didn't have time to think about it, it was already a fact that she was surrounded by a combined fleet of the Maizuru Guards... Zeppelin's next thing to think about was how to break through.

In the content of this mission, "bring back the deep-sea roof safely" is only the primary goal, and if it really doesn't work, there will be "if there is an accident, at least bring back the sample." ’

Sample... In other words, whether you live or die, as long as there is a part of the body.

“……”

Zeppelin took the dagger out of his ship's space and looked at the sleeping young girl.

"Don't... Leave me ......"

The murmur of the young girl in her dreams made Zeppelin's arm holding the dagger tremble... She had rarely been so hesitant when swinging a knife.

Just because there's a slim chance of escaping doesn't mean it's impossible!

Zeppelin gritted his teeth, threw away his weapon, let it sink to the bottom of the sea, and hugged the young girl tightly.

Under Zeppelin's orders, a large number of carrier-based aircraft took off from Zeppelin's shipboard and rose into the air!

Really... Or is it too reluctant?

It's good if it's just surrounded by the gendarmerie ship's mother, but this time it's the ship's mother from Maizuru who surrounded Zeppelin!

Moreover, most of the combined fleet are heroic ships, and there are even many shipwrecks whose training has surpassed that of Zeppelin......

In the battle of the sea, the power of the individual is always small, and this is also suitable for the ship's mother.

Most of the carrier-based aircraft released by Zeppelin were quickly sunk by the air defense network composed of carrier-based aircraft released by the Combined Fleet, and even a few remaining carrier-based aircraft were shot down by the destroyers in the Combined Fleet.

Loss of air supremacy!

This is devastating for an aircraft carrier mother.

Zeppelin looked at the group of carrier-based aircraft that were diving towards her in the distance, and in the face of the first round of aviation attacks, she was completely pushed to the point where there was nowhere to escape.

Torpedoes, bombs ... Even suspended missiles, which rained down.

At the moment when the bombing was about to fall, Zeppelin regretted it a little...... Losing her life for the sake of a deep-sea roost was the stupidest thing she ever thought was the most stupid thing.

But even if he was stupid, Zeppelin did it anyway... Just like her mentor Bismarck.

Zeppelin clung to the young girl, ready for the bombardment.

Hundreds of bombs fell into the sea around Zeppelin, and the explosion unleashed scorching flames and devastating impacts.

The scorching wave devoured Zeppelin's senses, and the torpedo fired at Zeppelin completely destroyed Zeppelin's armor, and the sore spots on his body as if they had been crushed by something penetrated deep into Zeppelin's nerves.

After the first round of bombing, Zeppelin was already scarred.

Zeppelin's injuries are already in a state of great destruction, and if she hadn't been protected by the big break, she would probably have been sunk under the first round of bombardment!

"Blood ......"

The young girl who was held in Zeppelin's arms was not injured, but she woke up from the bombing, and she reached out and gently touched the blood on Zeppelin's cheek, and fell into a stupor.

"Don't ...... Open your eyes ......"

Zeppelin's current appearance was very embarrassing, in addition to being embarrassed, there were also hideous, many places on his body were seriously injured, and a large amount of blood dripped from Zeppelin's body and melted into the sea.

"Pain?"

The young girl did not listen to Zeppelin's words obediently this time, and reached out to gently touch Zeppelin's wound.

Deep sea resentment gathered in the young girl's hand, relieving the pain in Zeppelin's body a little.

But soon after the first round of air raids, there was an artillery bombardment, and the combined fleet was ready to sink Zeppelin and the deep-sea dwelling girl together!

At the same time as the artillery fire resounded throughout the sea area, the dark fog also began to quietly fill the sea area.

"Zero, don't continue to unleash the resentment of the deep sea!"

Before the mission, Zeppelin clearly understood the abilities of this deep-sea dweller.

She is incomplete, despite her ability to infect any creature into the Deep, as well as the ability to summon Deep-Sea Resentment alone, but otherwise she is crippled in every way...... Both in terms of perch and herself, she is extremely weak.

Summoning such a large amount of deep-sea resentment at one time will definitely cause a great burden on her body!

"Don't be afraid, hold me tight."

Just when Zeppelin was flustered by her physical condition, the young girl opened her arms and hugged Zeppelin tightly, while whispering in her ear the words that Zeppelin had used to comfort her.

"Zero..."

"It's a pleasure to be with you... So now it's Zero's turn to protect you. ”

When Zeppelin was hugged by this young girl, she found that her body could not exert any strength at all, and she could only vaguely see that the surrounding sea was swallowed by the dark fog!

The sea began to restless, and the dark bones awoke from the bottom of the sea, and they reappeared on the surface of the sea in a new form, flesh began to grow on the bones, and one after another deep-sea dwelling ships roared towards the sky for their rebirth.

Deep... The perch is revived?

It's not just low-class deep-sea destroyers, this time even deep-sea battleships!

Summoning a deep-sea grudge that envelops an entire sea area, and so many deep-sea dwelling ships, is this really something that a deep-sea dwelling girl can do?

Zeppelin didn't know......

But the last thing she saw in her sight was the young girl standing quietly in front of her, holding her hand tightly, and... The image of being swallowed up by the cannon fire falling from the sky.

Burned out, everything that was touched by the flames was burned out.

Zeppelin tried to shout her name, but she found that she couldn't even blink now...... Zeppelin, who had suffered heavy blood loss, had already become unconscious, and finally fell into a coma under the intense feeling of vertigo, and collapsed on the surface of the sea and lost his consciousness.
