"The old driver... This car... I can't open it yet. ”

This is not the first time the Admiral has flown on this plane, I remember the last time I went fishing with the Governor on this plane, it was still in the style of World War II, it was a purely propeller-powered seaplane.

When I saw this plane again today, it seemed to have been modernized and refurbished, equipped with jet engines, and the speed of the voyage was much higher than before.

It is absolutely impossible for humans to make this kind of modification, to convert a World War II aircraft into a jet type, and the skeleton and material structure of the aircraft itself cannot withstand the weight of the engine.

In order to adapt to this high-power engine, it must be updated and strengthened in terms of material structure, and it is more appropriate for mankind to rebuild a completely new aircraft than to repair this antique from the Second World War.

However, this is a very simple thing for the little goblins, they can not only help the ship's mother's ship equipment to be modernized, but also man-made products.

The distance from Hokkaido to the depths of the Atlantic Ocean was not a one-day walk, and the Governor's butler was a very good pilot in his youth, and his piloting skills were comparable to that of a certain Porco Rosso, and he had no problems sailing for a day and a night.

The Admiral sat in the cabin of the plane, dug out the canned salted fish that the Governor had hidden in a small safe in the cabin, and began to make up for the regret of not having dinner at all.

But after the Admiral finished eating the canned salted fish, he found out which butler had not entered the cockpit for a long time.

“…… I'm sorry, Mr. Luze, there was a bit of an accident. ”

Which butler stood on the left wing of the plane, his brow furrowed, making his temperament, which made him look very serious all the time, and it became even more unapproachable.

"Accident?"

The Admiral stepped out of the cabin. Walking along the fuselage to the left wing of the plane, and after the moonlight saw the wing of the plane clearly, the Admiral finally understood why the old driver had stopped driving until now.

Hey, hey, hey!

The left wing of the aircraft was severely missing, the internal structure was exposed, and every now and then there was a flash of electric arcing, alerting the Admiral to the danger of approaching the wing of the aircraft.

"It doesn't look like someone has deliberately vandalized it."

This housekeeper has been an old driver for so many years. For the damage to the aircraft, he can also make a rough judgment in an instant, and the damage to the wing is definitely not the traces left by who and what tools are deliberately used.

Instead, it was like some kind of monster, tearing the wings apart like tissue paper.

And those who can do this may only be those ship girls.

"Did you meet anyone after landing?"

It is absolutely impossible for the ship girl to be bored enough to tear the plane by hand, and this plane is indeed an edible food for the ship girls, which is equivalent to a compressed biscuit that is a little unpalatable. There's also the stuffing in there.

Unless she is really hungry and doesn't find some resources to replenish, and her body functions are about to stop, she will never look for these unprocessed resources, let alone without the permission of others.

There is no shortage of resources in this town guard, and all the returning shipwives have been resupplied, so the person who can gnaw off the wings of this plane, no matter how much the Admiral thinks, it can only be the deep-sea ship......

"I asked the Admiral of the Castle for supplies, so I went to the Governor's resource warehouse. It was during that time that the plane was destroyed by whom. ”

Sure enough, it's the young girl... This is the character of taking a bite to check the taste of whatever you encounter. Coupled with the fact that no matter how hard the metal was, the Admiral suddenly understood the reason why the group of German scientists had released the young girl.

"Can it be fixed?"

With this level of damage, the Admiral basically has little hope of repairing it, unless he can recruit one or two goblins, but the problem is that the Admiral is not like the Mercy. Protected by the goblins, no matter where the Mercy runs a hospital, the employees who work in her hospital will always be a group of goblins.

These leprechauns came to help the Mercy on their own initiative, and they exist anywhere in the world. But it is very difficult for humans to find them.

Just like the Admiral now, he used the soul network to spread around, and he couldn't find any trace of the goblin at all.

"This used to be an abandoned airport, and it should be possible to find materials for restoration, which will take about a day or two."

After checking the extent of the damage to the wing, the old butler went to the cockpit of the plane and searched for a while, and finally took out a small bell.

At this time, you should take out the toolbox... Bell... It's still the kind that is tied around the cat's neck.

But when the bell rang crisply, the Admiral knew his intentions.

A faint glow gathered around him, and then several girls small enough to sit in the palm of a human hand, with the appearance of only two heads, appeared in the damaged position of the plane.

Leprechaun ......

The cat is a psychic creature, and the Governor has the same ability, and the bell is supposed to be the Governor's.

"I'm in trouble."

The goblins gladly accepted the old butler's request, saluted the old butler, and then jumped off the wings in droves and ran into the ruins of the surrounding buildings to search for resources that could be replaced.

A large number of replaceable resources were collected and stacked at the Admiral's feet.

The goblins' ability to transform and repair mechanical creations can be said to be completely superior to humans, so if it weren't for the raw materials that still need to be found in the ruins of those airports, maybe they can be repaired tonight.

"A day or two."

The reason why the leprechaun is too petite, it takes a long time to travel too far to collect resources, and the Admiral can't help in any way.

The ability to find usable aluminum and steel in the decaying ruins is something that can only be done by exploring skills no matter how you look at it.

"I'll stay here to help them, and suggest that Mr. Lu Ze go back to this town guard mansion for the time being."

Considering the length of the repair, it seems that I can only go to this town guard mansion for a short rest......

"What about you, Mr. Maiske?"

The reason why the Admiral used to occasionally go fishing with the Governor has also become familiar with this butler, and his name is still remembered.

"There are enough food and water reserves in the cabin, and I've been dealing with airplanes all my life, so I'm not used to living in a house." When he said this, a slightly lonely expression appeared on his face.

Ace pilot in USA?

Because of the appearance of the ship's mother, man-made warships and carrier-based aircraft have basically retreated from the main force of human warfare to the second line, and have become only decorations for deterrence......

The ace pilot who once served on a certain aircraft carrier should have retired for this reason......

Times are always changing, and the girls who inherited the body of steel and came to this world appeared, replacing the existence of these soldiers, and changing the established trajectory of this world too much.

Looking at his lonely expression, the Admiral's heart was a little touched, and before leaving, the Admiral almost subconsciously said to him.

"The world will always be peaceful, I promise."

Since the ship mother has replaced these older generation of warriors to guard the human world, of course, it cannot live up to their expectations.

"As Mr. Luzer said." He had no reason to suspect the Admiral, who had made the same promise and had fulfilled it.

The war between deep-sea dwellers and humans that lasted for more than ten years was ended by the Admiral.

And now... The deep sea has indeed become weaker, and it can no longer match with humans, but the biggest enemy of mankind is always human beings themselves, without the threat of the deep sea, and the powerful combat ability of the ship mother itself has become the fuse for creating disputes.

He understands that someone has to stand up to restrain all this, so that the powerful combat power of the ship girl is not used in the wrong place.

This is the reason why even after the Admiral rebelled into the Deep Sea Camp, he still respected the Admiral.

Only when the deep sea becomes more powerful can the ship's mother have the meaning of existence......

A knight hidden in the dark? No... In this country, it is more appropriate to use samurai, hiding in the shadows, but serving the light, silently guarding all people...... It doesn't matter if you bear the name of sin.

He watched the Admiral's departing back, fading into the darkness that the moonlight could not reach.

He remembered that when he first met the Admiral, the first feeling that the Admiral gave him was loneliness, his eyes were so dead and silent that he didn't have any emotion, he couldn't laugh or cry, but now, the Admiral could laugh naturally, but this feeling of loneliness never disappeared.

"Ahh

Just as he sighed, the Admiral, who was in the distance, suddenly sneezed...

“……”

Sure enough, it's because the weather is too cold and I shrink my head, so it looks a little strangely lonely, right? Also about how loneliness can appear in this man.

Even if Sashi's shipwreck no longer belongs to this man, and there is the company of those deep-sea dwelling ships, the word loneliness is not suitable for the admiral.

He shook his head, feeling like he was thinking a little too much.

But in short, I wish you good luck.

After giving a military salute to the Admiral, he turned and took out his repair tools from the cockpit, ready to start helping the goblin repair the broken plane.

The weather along the coast was not as fixed as inland, the temperature at night had begun to gradually turn colder, and the cold sea breeze quietly approached the island, and he raised his head to look into the depths of the ocean in the distance...

Beneath the dark sea, something dangerous seems to lurk...... (To be continued......)
