"As you can see," Lilan smiled bitterly, "Here, in its entirety, on the entire island, there are only two of us...... Of course, if there is any possibility, there are a few ...... who may make it ashore."

Arnold...... Is that the sister? ”

"It's a pity, it's probably the deep-sea dwelling ships you are talking about."

Ning Hai's arrival didn't seem to be able to change the situation that Lilan had to face.

First of all, from the map of the sea area found on the fifth layer, it appears that the western side is almost an ocean - there is no supply at all.

Even if there were, it would not be possible to go straight now, for the simple reason that it is.

"In other words, if the light cruiser wants to start, it needs at least 3 units of fuel, and the maximum sailing distance is only 30 nautical miles......

Lilan felt that his teeth were starting to hurt again, and he knew why he had to throw all his resources away when he was building before.

Ning Hai pinched the corners of his skirt, his face flushed slightly: "That's the ...... people"

"What did you say?"

"No, nothing...... Is the Admiral trying to leave the Castle? ”

Li Lan was stunned: "The town guard mansion you are talking about...... Is it here? ”

"yes, doesn't Lord Admiral know?" Ning Hai looked at Li Lan strangely, but still explained honestly: "As long as it is a place where the ship mother can be born, the human race will be protected as a town guard, on the one hand, it can rely on various resources to make more sisters appear, and on the other hand, it can also prevent the deep-sea habitat ship from going deep......"

Speaking of which, Lilan had also discovered this problem before. It's fine if it's just that weird instrument, but the problem is that the instrument is connected to the four 100-meter-long grooves behind it, not to mention that there is probably some mess below, in short, Elilan's current condition is that he definitely doesn't want to move it.

"The problem is" Thinking of this question, Li Lan shrugged helplessly: "In the past half a month, I have tried all the methods I can use, and I have only made up enough...... Uh, build your resources"

"You can see the situation around, I don't know how long this place has been deserted, except for the deep-sea habitat ships that circle around there every day" Li Lan pointed in the direction of the east coast: "Don't want to get any support here." ”

I don't know why, with Li Lan's narration, Ning Hai's eyes seem to have a tendency to turn red?

Unconsciously, I bullied her again inexplicably?!

The corners of her mouth twitched, and just when Li Lan was still organizing words of comfort and apology although she was unknown, the girl suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Li Lan.

"I'm really, really, really sorry! Lord Admiral"

“…… Ha? ”

What's going on? Could it be that the legendary dragon traverser's ability to "shake the tiger's body" has finally reached me?

"Until just now, Ning Hai actually suspected that Lord Admiral was—"

Halfway through, it suddenly stopped.

Why stop, what's the point after that, right?!

In Lilan's tangled gaze, Ning Hai clumsily changed the topic: "Ning, after Ning Hai - I will face it with Lord Admiral, please Lord Admiral, please don't give up!" ”

Looking up, her face was so red that she wondered if she was sick.

"That's, that'......"

Raised his slender right hand and clenched it into a weak fist: "Woo...... So shy...... Pinghai-chan lied to me......"

“……”

The corners of his eyes twitched, and Leylan missed his mind reading - for the first time, he found that it was so difficult to understand what a person was trying to say through her words and actions, and that all the humans in this world were "philosophers"?

However, in the next moment, Lilan completely overturned all previous conjectures and conclusions.

The girl blushed and her eyes wandered, but she still mustered up a little courage.

“f、fight~~~~~~”

"Poof"

"Timo, Admiral—"

Lori ...... It's really great......

―――――― Split ――――――

On the twenty-fourth day of traveling through another world, there was no cloud.

At noon, on the east side of the coast.

"Is that a deep-sea ship?"

Hiding under the shade of a tree - this is purely for the sake of Ning Hai beside him, you must know that the light energy of Lilan is still in a state of energy shortage.

However, because there was no necessary battle in a short period of time, and Lilan was not sure whether the deep-sea habitat ship would directly send a few shots to the island after the sneak attack three days ago, he still hid and observed with the idea of safety first.

But...... Glancing at Ning Hai beside him, the silver-haired Lori was frowning cutely at the moment, observing the black ship that was slowly passing by.

"Yes, that's a deep-sea habitat ship" In the end, Ning Hai gave a positive answer, although Li Lan had basically determined it before.

However, Ning Hai had different doubts than Li Lan.

"But...... Why did the deep-sea habitat ship pass through here? ”

Li Lan was stunned, and just about to get up, he stopped: "Is there a problem?" ”

"If it's an abandoned town guard, the deep-sea habitat ship will generally only attack areas where there are human beings, and will choose to ignore the ...... if there is no human existence."

"You've said it's the general situation," Lilan said nonchalantly, "Maybe there's something nearby—"

Speaking of the back, Lilan was also a little abrupt.

"I see......"

It turned out that they were identified as "enemies on the other side", and the target of their defense was never Lilan, but a "certain enemy" near this isolated island.

"Mention ...... Governor ......"

Moreover, this "enemy" also has the strength to threaten these deep-sea habitat ships, and in this world, he does not think about anything other than the town guard.

In this way, the operability is greater......

"Lord Admiral?"

"Ah, sorry, I was distracted for a while"

"Lord Admiral, the look in your eyes just now is so terrifying......"

“…… Ahaha, don't worry about the details."

"But ......"

"Go back, I'll give you more food!"

Following behind Li Lan, the worry in Ning Hai's eyes became more and more intense.

―――――― Split ――――――

As it turned out, Rylan was thinking too much.

"You...... Don't eat these? ”

Ning Hai looked at the grilled fish on the white plate in front of him with a missing corner, and smiled embarrassedly at Li Lan.

"That...... Lord Admiral, the ship's mother eats resources......"

“……”

So, it took 7 minutes to dig through the piles of "rags" to find the most intact plate, and 11 minutes to wash it shiny - Lilan swears it wasn't so clean when it was first made, and it took another 22 minutes to bake what is arguably the greatest masterpiece of his life: the ultimate golden grilled fish.

All in vain?
