Looking at the endless sea, Maya, the ship's mother, hung her shoulders tiredly.

"What a nuisance." Maya stood on the deck and scratched at his hair, "You bastards, come out of here, don't hide." ”

It all started two days ago. Just after Commander Kagawa confirmed Maya's summer arrangements, the news broke that Fukami Suhime had entered the patrol area she was responsible for. Therefore, Commander Kagawa could only retract his words and send some of his forces to deal with this attack. As a result, Maya had been sailing the sea for two whole days, and the interruption of her planned vacation had made her quite irritated to get rid of the enemies as quickly as possible.

"So don't worry, since it's a small force, it will naturally not be so easy to find." Commander Kagawa, who was sitting next to her, took a sip of black tea, and wanted to spit it out as soon as he tasted it, but after thinking about it, he decided to swallow it anyway, and put the tea set aside, "I'm used to drinking the black tea made by King Kong, and the tea made by those cooks really can't be drunk." ”

"That's what I'm feeling weird about." Maya turned around and looked at Kagawa, who was sitting leisurely drinking tea on the side, "Admiral, what are you doing here, shouldn't you be sitting in the Admiral's room and directing our actions remotely, why did you run to the ship to suffer." ”

"That's why it's boring." Kagawa stood up and stretched, "Sitting in an office chair like that all day, my whole body is going to stiffen, just come out to relax." ”

Seeing the appearance of the Governor in front of him, Maya reaffirmed the fact that the Admiral was a troublesome person.

"You don't have to worry about this kind of thing." Kagawa, who was really reluctant to waste resources, still pinched his nose and drank the cup of black tea, and then asked someone to quickly put away the tea set, "It stands to reason that you have now entered the interception area, have you found any clues." ”

"No, Admiral." Maya shook his head, neither the optical instruments on the ship nor the reconnaissance plane sent out before found any strange traces.

"yes, then you can relax." Kagawa sat back in his chair and twisted his neck, "Leave the reconnaissance to those observers and pilots, and you should also take a good rest, you have been observing the enemy situation almost non-stop since yesterday." ”

"You're right." Maya also stretched well, "I'll also go to the cafeteria to eat a little, although it doesn't matter if I eat or not, let's relieve my boredom." ”

"Go and get back." The Admiral waved his hand, "By the way, don't get caught up in those sailors, I don't want another bloodshed on the ship, then I'll have to write a check again." ”

"Knowing the Admiral, you're annoyed!"

After saying goodbye to Maya, Kagawa held the radio radio in his hand.

"Xiao, Hibiki, what's the situation with you?"

"Report to the Commander, everything is fine!"

"Yes, no anomalies were found."

"Yes, you two have worked hard. Go and rest, and leave the rest to your captain. ”

"Roger, Commander."

“хорошо。”

The Admiral put down the walkie-talkie and looked at the endless ocean in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little bored.

"Damn deep sea bastards, you all come out quickly, the old lady is still waiting for the holiday."

After dinner in the captain's quarters, Kagawa walked to the wheelhouse and observed the surroundings through the observation window.

Now the sun has set and the ship has turned on its signal lights. Except for the Maya at his feet, Kagawa could only see two ships on the sea, the destroyer Akatsuki sailing on the left and the destroyer Hibiki sailing on the right. The observers took turns from the lookout to observe the situation around the ship, but the sea was still calm and nothing unusual happened.

Kagawa felt very bored and decided to go around. She came to the deck and saw Maya leaning against the fence looking into the distance.

"What, is it boring?" Kagawa leaned his back against the guardrail and accosted Maya.

"It's not so much boring as being depressed." Maya scratched his head, "It's naturally best to be able to go back to the base to rest, and of course, if I want to fight, I won't lose." Like the attack on Pearl Harbor 16 years ago, I wasn't scared at all. ”

"Your bravery is unquestionable." Kagawa patted Maya on the shoulder, "But for the deep sea, the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, what you need is not only courage, but also patience." ”

"I've always been puzzled when I talk about it." Maya adjusted his posture and leaned against the guardrail like Kagawa, "Why do you have to send us to the field, if the fleet in the deep sea is only two destroyers, like intelligence, then relying on ordinary warships can completely kill and damage, what is the reason why you must send us?" ”

Maya tilted his head and thought back to the attack.

"If I'm not mistaken, a total of four fleets were dispatched for this interception mission, me and Xiaoxiang, Chokai and Raiden, Kaohsiung and Hazy, Atago and Lianchao. These are all ships with a mother, and if it weren't classified, I'd like to ask about the reasons for this arrangement. ”

Kagawa didn't answer immediately, but stood still and fell into deep thought. It took a moment before she finally spoke.

"If I say it's to conserve resources, would you believe it?"

"Conserve resources?" Maya raised an eyebrow, "I can't understand. There is no change in the fuel consumption of the ship, and one shell is also consumed by one round. I don't understand this resource-saving statement. ”

"You're talking about the ideal scenario." Kagawa turned his face to the wind, "The problem is that once the enemy attack hits, the ship will be in trouble to repair. ”

"It's just two of the lowest evictions, isn't that an exaggeration?" Maya asked, puzzled, "From my previous experience with the deep sea, this level of attack for me is just a little dent in the hull, which is a minor damage that can repair itself in dozens of minutes. Even if an ordinary ship is not so strong, it should just be smashed into a larger dent, will it be very different from us? ”

"That's another question." Kagawa also began to reminisce, "I don't know if you still have an impression of the time when you first served, I was a child at that time, and my knowledge of your time was limited to some written records. According to the records, when you were just in service, the destructive power of the shells seemed to have reached an incredible level? ”

"That's exactly what you say." Maya put his hand on his chin and began to recall, "I remember when the captain told me to attack a target ship, and I fired a shell through a large hole in the ship, which scared the captain to death. Listening to him, I realized that my attack was completely beyond the destructive power of a normal 20.3 cm shell. ”

Hearing Maya say this, Kagawa nodded.

"It's the same as what I've seen in the documents before, and it seems that every ship's guns in the early days of service have reached this destructive burst."

"But now my naval guns are just as powerful as those on a normal ship." Maya tilted her head in confusion, "Why is that?" ”

"Anyway, since you still remember this incident, then this matter is easy to understand." Kagawa turned around again and faced Maya, "Maybe you didn't notice that all the shelling of the deep sea roof seems to have the same destructive power as in the early days of your service. ”

"Wait a minute, are you sure?" Maya asked eagerly in disbelief, "Why don't I feel anything?" When I was testing it before, I also used ordinary destroyer guns to attack me, and the damage caused was basically the same as that of a deep-sea expulsion, or even more serious. If the attack of the deep-sea expulsion was so terrifying, how could I be almost unscathed? ”

"The reason is unknown." Kagawa shook his head, "Now I can only guess that because of the relationship between the ship's mother, this extraordinary destructive power has been suppressed, and it can only show its normal lethality." Although I don't feel that there is any reason at all, I can only draw this conclusion at the moment. ”

Maya nodded as if she understood Kagawa's words when she heard Kagawa's words.

"So that's what you mean by saving resources, right? If a normal ship were to come along, the damage would be much greater than ours. ”

"That's right." Kagawa also nodded, "If you send an ordinary ship to confront the deep-sea perch, then not to mention the expulsion of the same level, even the light patrol may be expelled by the deep sea to a shot, so under this premise, the crusade against the deep-sea perched is inclined to use a warship with a ship." ”

"There's nothing you can do about it." Maya shrugged, "That's just a little more tired for us shipgirls." ”

The next morning, feeling the sunlight outside the window, Kagawa woke up from his sleep.

Kagawa got up from the bed in the captain's room with his hair scattered, and glanced at the seed hanging on the wall, it was already 7 o'clock in the morning, and it was already very late for the army. Perhaps considering that now there were no enemies, her subordinates did not wake her up. Kagawa stood on the ground and quickly straightened himself, and after 10 minutes, the scruffy woman with hazy eyes was gone, replaced by a shrewd and capable commander.

Walking out of the captain's room, Kagawa entered the wheelhouse, and the people in the wheelhouse saluted Commander Kagawa, who motioned for them to continue doing their own thing. After taking the captain's seat, the first mate standing beside him reported to him the current situation.

"There's no sign of any enemies, is there?" After listening to the first mate's report, Kagawa muttered in a low voice, "What a bunch of damn nasty ghosts." I'm going to have breakfast, and I'll report back to you if there's something to do. ”

Receiving an affirmative answer from the first mate, Kagawa stood up and tried to talk to Maya, only to find that Maya was not in the wheelhouse. She went outside and looked into the deck, but there was no sign of Maya. After moving his body a little, Kagawa decided to go for breakfast.

Generally speaking, with Kagawa's current status, it is completely possible to eat special refined food in the captain's room, but Kagawa herself has always been a deviant, so she decided to eat a big pot of rice in the canteen of ordinary sailors on a whim. After walking for a while, she came to the door of the cafeteria.

The cafeteria was very noisy for some reason, and Kagawa looked at it, and a group of people were forming in a circle to watch the excitement, and there seemed to be the sound of punching and kicking and screaming in the middle. A sailor standing on the outskirts of the crowd saw Commander Kagawa and hurriedly shouted at everyone.

"It's Commander Kagawa here, everyone salute!"

When a group of people heard this, they hurriedly stood up in front of Kagawa and collectively raised a naval salute.

Kagawa ignored them, and she strode forward, cutting through the crowd and looking into the center of their encirclement. I saw a few sailors lying on their backs on the ground, covered in blood, and the bodies of several people were still twitching. And in the middle of the crowd, Maya stood with blood on his hands.

"Maya." Kagawa covered his forehead and sighed, "Didn't I tell you not to cause bloodshed?" ”

Before Maya could say anything, the nearby sailors had already spoken for Maya.

"Lord Commander, I don't blame Miss Maya for this matter, there are a few newcomers who want to pester Miss Maya without knowing the sky, and after being rejected by Miss Maya, they became angry and wanted to use hard, Miss Maya is completely justified in defense."

"yes, yes, we've all seen it, it was those guys who did it first."

"Miss Maya didn't do anything wrong."

……

"Alright, alright." Kagawa felt a little headache and pressed his temple, "The guys who fell to the ground, I don't know who they are, I don't care, anyway, when they heal, they will be in charge of the toilet for the next half month." ”

"Hooray!"

"The commander is really wise!"

"Don't think it's none of your business!" Kagawa roared angrily to the people around him, "There was a beating incident with your comrades, and you just gathered on the side to watch the excitement and didn't go up to persuade you to fight, and you must also be punished." Everyone present, don't eat breakfast! ”

"Wait, this ......" One of the sailors wanted to object, but after seeing Kagawa's eyes, he wisely chose to shut up.

Kagawa shifted his gaze to Maya, who stood there and bowed his head like a child who had done something wrong. Seeing Maya's appearance, Kagawa couldn't bear to be too strict with her.

"Alright, don't put on that face, I know you're forced to do it." Kagawa touched Maya's head, "But you're still doing something wrong, you know?" ”

"Yes." Maya whispered, "I shouldn't have used that much force. ”

"It's good to know it's wrong." Kagawa sighed, "But the punishment must be there, follow me to the confinement room." Rest assured, in just 6 hours, you can still make it in time for lunch. ”

"Yes." Maya followed Kagawa to the ship's confinement room in frustration, and Kagawa closed the door and locked it when Maya walked in. Just as Maya was thinking about how to spend her time in the confinement room, the door suddenly opened again, and Kagawa stood in the doorway and reached out to pull her arm.

"Lucky for you, now I have to use your power." Kagawa looked at Maya solemnly, "The deep sea is here."
