There are no rules to speak of.

Completely... It's instinct.

Nagato dodged the moment the scythe roost fell, and the arc of electricity that bloomed on the blade rang in Nagato's ears...... Several strands of Nagato's hair were severed by the blade, and before he could stay in the air for a few seconds, he was engulfed by the golden flames that burned on the perch.

The burning substance wrapped around the roost is not really a flame, but a resentment of the deep sea... The resentment of the deep sea, which has become extremely aggressive, devours everything it touches.

Just like other deep-sea habitats, the perch on this deep-sea habitat is a living creature.

"Don't you find it boring to hide around?"

With an absolute advantage, that deep-sea perched girl didn't really fight Nagato seriously, and liked to tease her prey, which is almost a common problem shared by many deep-sea perched himes, and she was no exception.

Maybe she lives in another world, and she hasn't been in contact with a creature like a ship girl, but when she saw Nagato, she wanted to sink Nagato, and the idea suddenly popped up in her mind, Nagato was her enemy.

Just as cats are born with an extraordinary attachment to dried fish, she also can't resist the idea of killing Nagato, and when she finds out that Nagato's abilities are far below her, she has enough time to accompany Nagato.

"If you can touch me, talk about it."

Nagato straightened the long hair around her ear, and if she hadn't dodged the blow just now, maybe she would have been like those severed strands of hair.

Although the clothes on Nagato's body can be regarded as a ship suit, it is still too fragile in front of that perch.

Nagato has never met a deep-sea perch who uses a melee weapon as a perch, so much so that Nagato has not analyzed what kind of deep-sea perch she is.

Even among the ship's mothers, there are not a few shipmothers who have their own melee weapons in their outfits, and even if they do, they are only decorative, such as the French battleship mother, the command knife held by Richelieu.

Naval warfare is a war dominated by carrier-based aircraft and naval guns, as well as fish. Close encounters are only seen when two warships collide and end up together.

This deep-sea roost is undoubtedly very skilled in the control of her own perch, but in Nagato's opinion. There is no skill at all.

Can... Even if you know this, it doesn't work, this deep-sea roost is fighting by instinct.

You don't need any skill at all, as long as your strength, speed and reflexes are absolutely superior! That alone is enough......

In terms of strength alone, this deep-sea perch is the one who completely crushed Nagato, so only the head was bitten by Kewpie. will be stupid enough to fight with this guy empty-handed.

Nagato just wants to lure this deep-sea roof away now, and then find a chance to leave here with his own admiral.

But this deep sea inquire is not stupid, and even though Nagato hides her mind well, she still senses what Nagato wants to do.

Her snake-like pupils looked at Lu Ji as she fell to the ground.

"You seem to value this human being." Her gaze was withdrawn from Lu Ji's body, and she looked at Nagato again, Nagato, who was able to maintain her composure and composure even when facing the deep sea suhime alone, could no longer act as calm as she had just now after discovering that the deep sea sui seemed to notice Lu Ji's presence.

This kind of panic was seen by this deep-sea perched Ji, and she turned her back to Lu Ji. It doesn't seem to have any intention of making a move on Lu Ji.

It's just that the perch of this deep-sea perch, in addition to the scythe in his hand, also has the tail behind him... Constructed of steel with a long tail, the end of which opened its fangs like a poisonous snake, and with a deep sea grudge that could corrupt everything, it suddenly bit Lu Ji who fell to the ground.

Vile? None of this exists in the world of the Deep Sea Habitat, and it is enough to sink all the enemies in sight, no matter what way you do.

"Sure enough, you still care about humans." As she expected, Nagato stood in front of Lu Ji, who fell to the ground......

Nagato's outfit built a defensive stance. There was no effect in front of these perches, and the moment the fangs touched, these positions shattered in an instant.

It didn't feel good to be bitten by something, and the pain of the tear didn't last long. The flames from the explosion engulfed Nagato......

"It's pretty tenacious."

She retracted her perch and looked at Nagato, who was at the center of the explosion, absorbing all the damage but not falling.

"But you can't be as agile as you were just now, can you?"

His snake-like cold gaze swept over the shocking wounds on Nagato's body...... Blood spilled out of Nagato's body again, dripping onto the ground.

This kind of injury, in Nagato's opinion, is only at the level of a broken one. In other words, she still has the ability to move, but she is certainly not as sensitive as she was earlier, and the tinnitus caused by the explosion has not subsided...... Thinking also becomes sluggish.

But Nagato still saw that the deep sea roost was getting closer and closer, and the sound of the high heels hitting the ground echoed in the small space.

"So......" She looked at Nagato, who was covered in scars, and raised her perch in her hand, intending to end the fight, but her innate instinct for danger caused her to change her original slashing action to a block and take a defensive stance in front of her.

The sound of firing at the ship's guns ... An armor-piercing bullet pierced through the defense of the deep-sea perch, and the burning sparks stained the deep-sea perch's skin, making her cold blood feel what it was like.

"I... But there is no ...... to die."

The Prince of Wales stood up with her hands on the wall, and although she barely unfolded her outfit, it was the limit of the Prince of Wales to be able to load the ship's guns and then fire them.

The resentment of the deep sea corroded her... Whether it's her will or her body.

The Prince of Wales's outfit had begun to show some deep-sea features, the armor began to shift to pitch black, and the Prince of Wales felt that her consciousness was beginning to blur.

If the training of the ship girl reaches the limit, one step further will become a deep-sea perch.

So... The Prince of Wales, whose training level is far from reaching its limit, has been prematurely eroded by deep-sea resentment and will only become a deep-sea habitat ship.

Become... A deep-sea perching ship without its own consciousness, forgetting all the memories of the past.

This is no different from death for the Prince of Wales.

Maybe... It's a hallucination before death, the voice of the guy who wants to teach a lesson no matter what, suddenly rings in his ears.

Wait a minute... Not a delusion!

The Prince of Wales really heard someone talking in his ear...... And it's the bastard who pit her in the first place!

'Sign a contract with me to become a magical girl, no. Magic Ship Girl. ’

'Luze, you bastard, and your face in front of me?! ’

When this voice was heard, the original sickly appearance of the Prince of Wales was swept away, and it was once again transformed back into the legendary battleship that chased from England all the way to the Danish Channel with a large number of wingmen under its command.

'Good felling. Eldest brother... I'll leave now. ’

'Phew! Don't try to run this time! ’

Perhaps it was the power of hatred, after the Prince of Wales heard the Admiral's voice, the sore spot of the deep-sea resentment erosion suddenly disappeared, and the various senses around him became much clearer, and even the Prince of Wales felt that his training level had improved a lot.

She came to this sea to find the Admiral. Since the Admiral took the initiative to show up this time, she definitely wouldn't let the Admiral go like this.

But the deep-sea roost will not let go of the Prince of Wales who fired at her.

The arc exploded in the air, and the deep-sea roost rushed towards the Prince of Wales, trying to prioritize the obstructive target.

The Prince of Wales, whose attention was attracted by the Admiral, didn't even notice that she was being targeted by a deep-sea perch, and when she found the deep-sea roost rushing towards her, she had no time to dodge, and even adjusted the angle of the ship's guns......

To naval guns? At this moment, the two fourteen-inch pair guns mounted on the ship behind the Prince of Wales. Without giving any instructions, as if she had her own consciousness, she aimed at the deep-sea roof that was rushing towards the Prince of Wales.

The loaded fire, the operation did not stop at all, and the armor-piercing projectile in the ship's space was loaded up, and in an instant, it came out of the chamber and hit the deep-sea perch!

With such a close explosion, even the Prince of Wales could clearly feel the scorching temperature in the air, and the deep-sea roost was also forced to retreat into the distance...... Give the Prince of Wales a breather.

Ship Loadout... What's going on? Do you have your own consciousness because you have become a deep sea? The Prince of Wales looked at the ship's suit, which had been completely swallowed by pitch black, and the shelter of the deep-sea habitat ship was full of living things. Then he was infected by the resentment of the deep sea, and the ship's armor began to gradually derive its own consciousness, becoming... New creatures?

No, the Prince of Wales did not feel any breath of life on its own ship. And the deep-sea resentment that was originally frantically eroding her in her body was like a well-behaved kitten at this time, which made the Prince of Wales feel a little creepy.

'Is that you?' ’

The Prince of Wales could only think of this possibility......

'Luze, you took control of my ship's armor?' And also... What are those deep-sea factors in my body? ’

"Of course ......"

The Prince of Wales heard this by ear, not by the Soul Network, which had been in the underground research institute in Germany. Betrayed himself no... Using his own nasty guys, the Prince of Wales will recognise whatever it becomes.

Not to mention that his current outfit is no different from that time at all.

Equally... Those who recognized the Admiral were Nagato who was on the side.

The voice was all too familiar.

Familiar with Nagato every time he is asleep, he will suddenly wake up when he hears this voice, and then look around for the familiar figure in his memory, but... Every time in vain.

Nagato reminded himself countless times that he had left, leaving only the right to remember, but Nagato still stubbornly believed somewhere deep down in his heart that the Admiral was still alive, just like King Kong.

The sore spot on his body tells Nagato that he is not dreaming at all at this time, but reality!

She was once built, born in this world, and made herself a secretary ship, swearing to follow the existence for the rest of her life.

"Mention... Supervise? Nagato looked at the back, a little hesitant.

"Nagato, get out of here with Lu Ji, now!"

This voice... Sure enough, it was the Admiral.

Nagato was already able to confirm this, and he was able to fight side by side with the Admiral again, just thinking about this, the pain caused by the wound on his body was instantly relieved a lot.

"I... You can continue to fight,"

At this time, Nagato's broken appearance must be embarrassed, and Nagato doesn't want a long-lost reunion to be like this.

"The resentment of the deep sea is corroding Lu Ji's body, and he left here with Lu Ji, understand?"

The Admiral has never given orders so seriously, or the Admiral has never been so serious, but from the feedback from the Soul Network, Lu Ji's physical condition is really bad!

Deep-sea resentment may cause little harm to humans and ship mothers, but when the concentration is high, it will be very dangerous, just like oxygen is necessary for human survival, but if humans are exposed to pure oxygen for a long time, they will eventually die of respiratory failure.

"Admiralable ......"

The existence of that deep-sea roof made Nagato unable to abandon his admiral and leave here no matter what.

"I'm not your Admiral anymore!"

He turned around, and Nagato's scarlet eyes, which weren't human, stinged Nagato... Tell Nagato that standing in front of her is not the Admiral she once familiarized, but a deep sea.

"Your Admiral is Lu Ji! The person you should protect is also Lu Ji! Do you understand? Sashi's shipwive. ”

“……”

Is this sudden fact really hard to accept?

After being shelled by the Prince of Wales, the deep-sea roost was already in a serious state, and her perch changed again, changing into the posture it should be.

As an ordinary person, Lu Ji couldn't bear the aftermath of this battle at all, and the resentment brought by this deep-sea roost was enough to kill her.

So......

"Nagato! Tell me out loud... What was the content of the seven precepts that you asked all the shipwives of Sashi to abide by? ”

Ship mother... Seven precepts.

Seven of a kind... A precept that the ship's mother must never violate.

"First, you must not hurt your own Admiral, and second, no matter what happens, you must protect your Admiral, no matter what... Happen... What ......" Nagato's gaze retracted from the figure in front of him, which made him extremely affectionate, and looked at Lu Ji who fell beside him.

"Mention... ......" Nagato's voice trembled, and she, who had always been strong, looked extremely helpless at this time.

She is a ship mother, and the ship's duty is to protect her own admiral! No matter what happens.

Nagato picked up Lu Ji, and the ship's suit unfolded behind her, using the ship's suit to carve out a path to the outside world......

"Don't die."

Nagato... After saying this, he ran towards the exit with Lu Ji. (To be continued.) )
