The seagull, which had rested on the Queen Victoria, was suddenly frightened by a terrifying laugh and flew directly into the sky.

"Hahaha! My luck is unstoppable!! I finally raised my eyebrows today! ”

Hughes stood on the deck, cheering happily, but the laughter like noise disturbed many of the shipwives who were relaxing on the deck.

Among them, the most troublesome are probably the two ship girls standing in front of Hughes.

"Can I knock her out with an axe?"

"Please bear with me, if you really want to knock out, use this."

The two shipwives finally seemed to be unable to stand Hughes's noise, and after one of them asked to knock Hughes unconscious with her own ship's suit, Helena, the other secretary ship, Helena, took out a wooden stick for Hughes.

"Wait, wait, wait! I calmed down! Helena, don't do it! And Washington! No matter how I am, I'm also your admiral, is it really good to do this? ”

When Hughes saw her secretary ship take out the blood-stained stick, she calmed down and looked at the ship's mother beside Helena.

The North Carolina-class battleship No. 2, the battleship USS Washington, which inherited the name of the first president of the United States.

The reason why Hughes was so excited was because Helena brought her to her after the battle.

So far, there are only two battleships in the world that have inherited the name of Washington! This number alone is enough to show how rare this battleship mother is!

So when Helena brought the Washington to Hughes, Hughes was so excited that she almost fainted!

"I didn't admit that you were my Admiral."

It's a pity that the Washington himself, after seeing Hughes's 'infatuation', began to doubt whether the woman in front of him could be his admiral.

"Don't say that, you were caught by my fleet. Of course, you're going to join my town guard, which is basically stipulated by international law. ”

Hughes had completely let go of the majesty she should have as an admiral, staring at the Washington with the kind of eyes that only middle-aged uncles would have, and she almost didn't wipe the saliva from the corners of her mouth.

When was the last time you fished a rare ship? A year? No... It's been three years! In the past, every time Hughes attacked, whether it was a normal sweep of the deep-sea fleet or a strategy to participate in the active sea area. I've never caught a ship that can be described as rare.

And today, just after the first sortie, Helena brought back such a battleship girl with a rarity equivalent to the SSR level, if it weren't for the scary axe monster in the hands of the Washington, Hughes might have started PRPRP with this ship girl.

"I have not heard of this kind of international law, and as far as I know, the ship's mother still has the right to choose the admiral freely."

The USS Washington was not a drawing ship, and when she was just born, the common sense of the world was already in her mind, including the common sense of law.

As a mature battleship girl. Hughes's attempt to deceive the USS Washington was not an easy matter.

"It's okay, I'm the only admiral on this ship, and after the battle is over, we'll talk slowly."

The shipwreck caught in her fleet will definitely not be able to escape, and the Washington is also affiliated with the United States like Hughes, as long as the Washington shows her excellent side, Hughes believes that she will definitely join her town guard.

"Then prove to me if you have the qualifications to be recognized by me. But before that, can you tell me any information about this area? ”

The USS Washington had no ill feelings towards Hughes. It's just that the first impression is a little bad, she has just been born in this world, and it will take a little time for her to adapt to the surrounding environment.

"Don't rush into battle, wait until your training level improves."

No matter how good the Washington's statistics are, her training level is only level 1, whether it is firepower or armor durability and other abilities. None of them have reached the level of the B-level sea area.

"My training? Isn't this campaign a low-level sea area? ”

"No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a low-level sea, right?"

Although the B-level sea area is not the most difficult, it can't be described as a low level, at least if there is no one in the fleet who has reached more than 100 levels of training, it is impossible to conquer it, and the training degree is below level 50. Not even E1 can be defeated.

"What's going on with those shipwives walking on deck... It seems that their cultivation level is not even level ten. ”

The USS Washington had been silently observing its surroundings since the beginning, adapting to the world as quickly as possible.

In addition to them, there are several ship girls walking around on the deck, in addition to a few of them of a relatively high level, reaching more than 100 destroyer girls are frolicking with each other and enjoying their leisure time after the war, there are also a few uniformed ship girls walking back and forth on the deck with trays in their hands.

One of them seemed to sense the sight of the USS Washington and subconsciously walked in front of Washington...... Washington glanced at the tray she was holding, which contained several glasses filled with champagne.

The ship's mother felt that the Washington was more like a service member on this cruise ship than the combatants involved in the waters.

The Washington picked up one of the glasses of champagne and, after watching the ship's maiden leave, turned her inquiring gaze to Hughes.

"Aren't those shipwives combatants? It's not a supply ship or a repair ship. ”

In the common sense of the Washington, this kind of service work should be done by humans, but on this cruise ship, it is those ship girls who are in charge, and those ship girls have such a low level of training, no matter how you look at it, they have not participated in a few battles.

"They... Just like you said on the USS Washington, not only do they have the right to freely choose their admirals, but they also have the right to choose their own lives. ”

Hughes's tone was rarely serious.

"Most shipwives will choose to fulfill their duties as weapons and fight in the deep sea, but there are also some shipwives who choose to stay away from the battlefield...... There are various reasons, from a pure hatred of fighting, or a fear of the deep sea, and they are living in their own way. ”

“……”

The USS Washington glanced at the shipwives on the deck, many of whom were only slightly more capable than ordinary people, and the consequences would be unimaginable if they were to be involved in the battlefield.

Just as the Washington was thinking, the entire Queen Victoria suddenly began to shake violently, and the sudden shaking made the Washington unable to maintain its balance, and the glass in her hand also landed on the deck with a crisp sound.

"Hit an iceberg? No, this is a tropical sea, what kind of iceberg is there? ”

Hughes grabbed the side of the deck and kept her body balanced.

"It's an attack from the depths."

Helena pointed to the darkness in the distance......

"Yikes! The Queen Victoria and the combat sea should be at an absolutely safe distance ... What about the shipwives who are in charge of guarding the surrounding waters? ”

Hughes followed Helena's point and saw a presence floating on the dark sea, that... It's not a deep-sea habitat ship, to be precise, the wreckage of a deep-sea habitat ship, drifting all the way here from the sea area shrouded in deep-sea resentment, and there are still wreckage of life reactions.

It's not possible for these wrecks to be able to fire, but... The shattered wreckage seems to have been affected by something, and it has once again been given a new life.

"Admiral... The deep-sea resentment of that sea is moving here. ”

Helena communicates with the Queen Victoria's intelligence service and gets a piece of news that she can't believe.

"Resentment of the depths... On the move? Are you sure it's not proliferation? ”

Hughes looked at the horizon in the distance, and seemed to see a thick black fog begin to fill the horizon. (To be continued.) )
