Ten minutes later.

"Stop moving, turn off communications, and be silent"

Pressing the switch of the communicator, the pale blue pupils stared at the sea in the northeast direction - life or death, in one move!

The long five minutes passed slowly.

On the distant sea level, at the end of the line of sight, a flagpole raised high floated, and Lilan looked at the sign above in a daze, unable to speak for a long time.

"It's ...... What's the fuss? ”

After successfully clearing the deep-sea habitat ships on the north side, the First Fleet ran directly to the rendezvous point to wait for the arrival of the Sixth Destroyer Group, but unexpectedly found the Second Expeditionary Fleet that had also completed the task, and then under the "instigation" of one of the ships of the Second Expeditionary Fleet, they collectively ran to a place outside the mission range on the east side and "cleared" the patrol fleet of the deep-sea habitat ships.

When he was about to return after cleaning, he found that the time was already a little urgent, so he had to speed up and rush back - this is why the Z16 detected the fleet's speed.

That is to say, from beginning to end, what was detected on the radar ship of the Z16 was simply the First Fleet and the Second Expeditionary Fleet of the Sixth Town Guard!

The so-called deep-sea habitat fleet is simply a non-existent thing!

In this regard, Lilan only wants to express two words: hehe.

During the whole process, Lilan also learned the identity of the instigator - the culprit in the communicator from the First Fleet and the Second Voyage Force, constantly "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry", "woo, I won't dare next time" and "poi~".

Destroyer, Island Wind.

Although it was just inadvertent, Lilan did her a favor yesterday, otherwise she would probably still be watching the fleet go out in the Sixth Town Guard's Mansion now, and now she turned around and actually did the thing of "selling her teammates", which is simply mad!

However, in this short period of time, running from the northern sea area to the rendezvous point, and instigating the second expedition force to run from the rendezvous point to the eastern sea area outside the mission range, can still rush back before the convergence time -- this speed is obviously unscientific, right?

To this, Shimakaze's reply was: "Shimakaze is the fastest ship!" ”

Mimic Ship Outfit - Swift as Island Wind (Lilan: The name of the remnant...... ）

The effect is just as unscientific as that of the Ringing Immortal Bird, especially since the level of the ship can greatly increase the speed of the entire fleet in a short period of time.

And the island wind is the same prototype ship as Hibiki.

If it's just Shimakaze leaving the fleet alone, judging from the conversation I heard yesterday, it would be forgivable with her past personality. But this time, two fleets, a total of twelve ships, ignored the mission requirements and ran out of the mission to "hunt".

This situation is no longer a "serious" explanation.

Returning to the Sixth Town Guardhouse, seeing Nagato waiting in front of the dockyard and Admiral Resers' gloomy face that seemed to be dripping, Reichan thought.

"I'm sorry to show you this immature side," Nagato said in an apologetic tone, as he stepped off the ship.

Li Lan smiled helplessly: "It's nothing, I came back intact in the end, didn't I?" ”

"It's not a problem," Nagato corrected in a serious tone, "If a fleet of deep-sea habitat ships had broken in at that time, then the Sixth Destroyer Group would probably have been wiped out!" ”

It is also an indisputable fact that relying on the fragile armor and pitiful firepower of the destroyer, it is impossible to crack the armor of any battleship, not even the armor of a heavy cruiser does not know whether it can be bombarded or not.

"This time, Nagato and Admiral Resess will give you a satisfactory answer!"

"No, I didn't ......"

Before Riran could finish speaking, Nagato had already turned around and walked away.

"Blame them......"

Sighing, it is impossible to say that there is really no trace of anger, how to say it is also a joke with the life of the entire Sixth Expulsion Team, including himself, if there is really no emotional fluctuation about this matter, then it is not a human - but a saint.

"Anyway, I hope this dark cloud will disperse soon," Li Lan whispered to himself, looking at the dark cloud that the sky was hiding above the town guard's mansion.

"That'...... That, Lord Admiral......"

A timid voice came from behind, and Rilan turned around.

Including electricity, the four members of the Sixth Expulsion Team lined up neatly in front of Lilan.

"You ...... this"

"No, I'm very sorry!" Fiercely lowered his head to Lilan, and a sentence came out of nowhere.

“…… Ha? ”

Probably unable to look at his sister like this, Ray took a step forward, raised his head and looked directly into Rilan's eyes: "It's, that's it, we're apologizing to you!" ”

…… Is this attitude really an apology rather than a provocation?

"At this time, I really need to go out as a lady who is in charge!"

The youngest Xiao made a "charming" action of pulling up her hair, however, this action appeared on Xiao, whose physical age was only at the level of a primary school student, and it would only cause Li Lan to want to laugh......

"Poof, ahem—"

I finally held back...... Probably not seen?

Obviously his face was flushed, but he deliberately showed a reliable attitude: "I didn't know much about the Admiral before, and I thought the Admiral was a very terrifying person......

The tone was timid, and his eyes subconsciously wanted to dodge, but in the end, he sincerely said to Shangli Lan's electricity: "But in fact, the Admiral is not a very terrifying person...... Said"

Well...... The lady who is in charge alone - cough cough cough, sorry, almost laughed.

"So we apologize to you!"

As always, the expressionless Hibiki (co-ship): "Entschuldigung (I'm sorry)"

Looking at the four elementary school students bowing in front of him, at this moment, Li Lan's heart was inexplicably touched-

This kind of scenario...... It shouldn't be the first time in this long life, right?

"Ah, I accept your apology" Savoring the inexplicable touch in his heart, Li Lan smiled: "However, in the future, you can't just think that others are 'terrifying'."

Squatting down, Lilan and the four shipwives maintained the same eye level, and opened their hands to make a scary movement.

"Otherwise, even people who weren't scary would have become scary in your eyes, you know?"

"Yes!" X4

Then, before the agitated mood had calmed down, it was once again doused with cold water poured by the "old fox" from the Sixth Town Guard.

"The penalties for the 1st and 2nd Expeditionary Fleets have already been decided"

It was not Nagato, who was the secretary ship, who came to give Rylan a "satisfactory answer", but the "amiable" Resers.

This obviously does not bode well......

"Can I say no?"
