The hospital of the Mercy is not far from the Sashi Town Guardhouse, which was also built along the coast.

Sashi was also attacked by the deep sea, which caused the entire city to be reduced to ruins, and the invasion of the deep sea left a huge shadow on mankind, so the population of Sashi was much smaller than that of other large cities close to the mainland, and the originally hot coastal real estate became uncared for.

After all, no one can be sure when the next deep-sea invasion will be, and if the defense line is broken, it will definitely be the coastal area that will suffer first.

Therefore, it was a simple matter for the Mercy to find a suitable place to build a hospital near the coastal area.

Coupled with the support of Governor Sase, it took a few days for the hospital of the Mercy to be established.

Although the ship's mother doesn't hate things on land as much as the deep-sea habitat ship, she still instinctively hopes to live closer to the sea.

Just near the coast, it is also convenient for the next Yamato to test their own ship equipment.

"Have you figured out what those shimmering particles are made of?"

The Admiral was at the window on the second floor of the Hospital of Mercy, where he could take in the distant sea......

Nowadays, there are many ship girls from all over the world who come to participate in Sashi's celebrations, and the hospital of the Mercy is so close to the Sashi Town Guard's Mansion, and the appearance of Yamato will definitely attract the attention of other ship girls...... The Admiral is standing on the shore like this, whether it is discovered by Sashi's shipwives or by foreign shipwives, things will become very troublesome.

"I'm a medical ship, not a scientist of some celestial organization! In terms of human biology, I'm really good at it, but the light particles emitted by your battleship, no matter how you look at it, you should let the engineering ship girl study it. ”

Despite what the Mercy Trumpet had said, she had in her hand a stack of copies of research materials that might be related to the light particles. But most of them are of no use, and no matter how the Mercy interprets them, nothing can be found in nature that corresponds to this energy.

"So, in the end, the conclusion that can be drawn is that those shimmering particles emanating from the Yamato's ship are new energy that has never been discovered in history?"

"It can be understood that way."

The Mercy pushed her glasses. He looked at the Yamato, which was standing on the sea in the distance.

Yamato, who had fully unfolded her ship's outfit, was holding the burgundy paper fan as always, and although Yamato looked no different from before, if you looked closely, she could still see the cherry blossom pink starlight falling from time to time around her.

"Huh? Isn't it really something like GN particles? ”

The Admiral also thought that the light particles emitted from Yamato's body had already been discovered and named.

"Don't bring the setting of Japanese machine battle anime to reality! That's all fiction, right? ”

To the surprise of the Admiral, the Mercy was interested in Japanese anime... The so-called "follow the locals"?

"Speaking of which, it's as simple as telling that... Well... Are cats really good? ”

The cat to which the trumpet of mercy is referred. That is, the supreme governor of the Sashi region, if the ship's mother wants to exercise on the coast, she must pass the permission of the governor.

For this reason, the Mercy also specially pulled the curtains on the window a little to block the Admiral standing by the window, and at the same time looked around the sea area, and from time to time the gendarmerie could be seen patrolling around.

"The Governor is in good shape, don't worry, we're mortals. It won't be interested. ”

“……”

The Mercy did not say anything about the Admiral's words, and she had met the Governor of Sashi. So she didn't believe that the Governor, who could be bought with just a small dried fish, could rely on ......

'If you're ready, let's do it, the target is already set, you just need to aim and fire. ’

In the sea area within Yamato's range, a military police captain had already set up a cordon so as not to injure innocent fishing boats by mistake.

So under the instructions of the Admiral. Yamato adjusted his guns and aimed at the wooden targets supported by floating oil drums in the distance.

In the past, the exercises were fought between the ship's mother and the ship's mother, and this kind of aiming and shooting exercise was only prepared for the newcomer's shipwreck to familiarize himself with his ship's outfit......

Yamato is also currently in the stage of familiarizing himself with the ship's equipment, although there are no changes to the surface of the ship's equipment. A machine made of steel, but Yamato could still feel that something was inhabiting his ship's outfit.

Those shimmering particles?

Yamato couldn't explain the feeling...... As usual, she controlled her ship's equipment to aim at the target not far away, calculated the amount of advance, and after locking on to the target, an armor-piercing projectile stored in the ship's space was quickly loaded into the ship's gun.

Aim... Shoot!

It's as natural as ever.

At this moment, she felt that something was more in her soul network, those shimmering light particles!

The cherry pink light bloomed around Yamato, and the muzzle of the ship gun that was about to be fired began to condense a large number of light particles, and all these light particles poured into the muzzle of Yamato's gun......

Strength... An unprecedented power, gathered in which pair of ship guns, and Yamato found himself in control of those forces!

With a roar that resounded across the sea, the cannon condensed the light particles to the limit, unleashing a devastating force.

The shimmering particles bloomed completely around Yamato, scattered in mid-air......

The armor-piercing projectile that came out of the disembowelment pierced the calm sea surface, and a large number of shimmering particles surrounded the armor-piercing projectile, leaving a spiral-shaped trajectory on the sea surface!

The moment the armor-piercing projectile was ejected, that strange feeling always surrounded Yamato's mind, which made Yamato subconsciously give instructions to the shimmering particles... In the next second, the armor-piercing projectile that should have hit the distant target in a straight line changed the trajectory of its own shooting and shot into the sea next to the target.

The sea was set off with huge waves...... There were no flames, no deafening explosions, and the armor-piercing projectiles went directly to the bottom of the sea, and the dull sound of explosions in the bottom of the sea made people feel a sense of depression in their chests.

Missed?

The target that Yamato had been aiming at was still intact except for a little undulation with the waves.

The armor-piercing bullet that was fired just now was absolutely off-miss.

'Yamato, the trajectory of the armor-piercing bullet just now suddenly changed......

The Admiral didn't believe that Yamato would miss, and the battle-hardened Yamato, even if the target was a destroyer more than a dozen nautical miles away, she would be able to hit accurately, not to mention the wooden target that was less than a nautical mile away.

The trajectory of the armor-piercing projectile just now was changed...... Although the Admiral's dynamic vision could not keep up with the trajectory of the cannonball's movement, the Admiral could still sense that something was affecting the direction of the cannonball's fire.

'It's like... Yes. ’

Yamato looked at the shimmering particles that fell on the sea in the distance in disbelief, and under the instructions of the Yamato soul network, they began to gather towards Yamato again.

'Do you want to try again?' Yamato...'

In the firing just now, the Admiral had already preliminarily grasped the extent to which the Yamato's armor had been strengthened, and it felt that it was already comparable to the ordinary Suhime-class deep sea, but the two values of armor and durability were unknown.

The Admiral can't just test the two values of Yamato, and specifically find a ship girl or a deep sea to target Yamato and fire, right?

Anyway, it was enough for the Admiral to make sure that those shimmering particles wouldn't affect Yamato's battle. (To be continued.) )
