A huge group of deep-sea ships sailed densely on the sea, like a school of migratory fish.

Xiao Xiang Thunderbolt, who was hanging behind him, looked at the deep-sea ship group in front of him, and looked at each other.

"Okay, a lot of them, what are they going to do?"

"I don't know......"

Holding the beret on his head with one hand, Xiao looked at the electricity beside him.

Under the sun, the fine fluff on the electric loli's face is faintly visible, and it looks more and more pink and cute.

"But didn't the Admiral give us the order to follow? As a lady, just carry out your orders well! ”

Although the "lady's code" that Xiao opened and closed her mouth was full of complaints, the other three little Lori completely agreed with the sentence of executing Yakumo Mo's order.

This is the instinct to obey the admiral as a shipwreck - as long as this order does not exceed the psychological limit of the shipwive.

"Didn't you say that Yamato seniors were behind? Would you like to get in touch? ”

Lei tilted his head and rushed to Xiao's side from behind and asked.

It's a tradition of the Mine Squad to ask if they're undecided—of course, a lot of times they prefer to use their fists or Lori's steel teeth or something.

However, after Xiang Ye used steel teeth to attack a deep-sea destroyer and came to the conclusion that "the skin of the deep sea is very thick and difficult to wear", the four little Loli never tried to use steel teeth to deal with the deep sea again.

- This is also the reason why only Xiang Ye is missing a tooth in the thunder and lightning.

The broken teeth of the immortal bird are very magical, and they can't be repaired.

But the sound of a broken tooth looks even more cute, and Nagato has an absolute say in this.

"Now, let's get in touch and see where they are......"

Soon, the radio signal sent out received a reply.

"Well, it's right in the back. He also asked if we were in trouble. ”

So said the person in charge of contact.

"In addition, Akagi's seniors also sent a telegram just now, saying that they are tracking the deep-sea fleet coming from the direction of Changhu Island, and it seems that they are about to meet......"

"I heard that the scale of the deep sea coming from the direction of Changhu Island is even larger than the previous one!"

Ray clenched his fists and gestured around, a smile of excitement on his face.

"Isn't it possible that we're going to do a big job?"

"I don't know......"

Xiao shook her head.

"Now I only know about this fleet and the fleet in the direction of Changhu Island, and it is not clear whether there is a third party or even a fourth-party deep-sea fleet coming over. Rushing forward recklessly without knowing the information would give the Admiral a headache, and this is not a lady's doing......"

Although I really want to complain that the first one to rush up recklessly every time is Xiao herself, but the three little Loli also know that they are no better, so they stuck out their tongues and didn't speak.

- Well, I'm still a little self-conscious.

◇

The situation is a little stricter than Yakumo predicted in advance.

After tracking the distance for some distance, the message sent back by the Yamato fleet made Yakumo and Nagato's previous guesses come true.

There are more than two deep-sea perched ships that are "attracted" in some way.

The Yamato fleet also spotted a deep-sea fleet in the same direction near them.

As before, these deep-sea fleets, which have a very clear purpose, did not take the initiative to attack the shipwives.

This group of deep-sea people who are in a hurry to "make a pilgrimage" maintain a complete attitude towards the ship girls who pass by them and make soy sauce and watch them inhumanely.

It completely violates the code of conduct of the deep sea people who rushed up and tore crazy when they encountered the ship's mother.

"If there are three, there may be a fourth, a fifth, ......"

Take the battle report. Yakumo furrowed his brows and looked at Nagato.

"So Nagato, it's better for me to go in person."

Nagato immediately looked at Yakumo with a straight face: "Admiral, please trust us!" As the admiral's shipwive, it would be our biggest dereliction of duty to let the admiral go to the front in person! I know you're powerful, but—"

"I know."

Yakumo waved his hand.

"But I'm not worried about you, though?"

Nagato's face suddenly softened a little, and then he lowered his head again: "I'm sorry, Admiral." If I could get into the water normally......"

As a battleship, it is clear that all kinds of instincts as a ship mother are stored in zài. But it sinks when it enters the water.

Although Nagato has always expressed his distraction, Yakumo has seen Nagato feel sorry for himself several times on the dock alone in the moonlight at night.

"Nagato, this has nothing to do with you."

With a sigh, Yakumo stood up, walked around from behind his desk, and walked to Nagato's side.

Gently touching Nagato's head. Yakumo said with a little apology:

"Counting it up, I'm also responsible. If you hadn't used all30 resources, you would have been able to fight normally. I, the Admiral, have not found a solution to the problem, and I am derelict in my duty......"

After Nagato, Yakumo never used the all30 resource recipe again.

Although the ship girl who was born after that has a somewhat strange personality, she does not have a situation like Nagato that can't even go into the water.

This also made Yakumo more and more affirmative. It was the all30 resources that cut corners on their own that caused Nagato's problems.

- As for Xiaoxing? Ya Yunmo still remembers that when Xiaoxing was born, the Fantasy Tree in his spiritual sea was a great force. As for the ship girls in the back, when it was built, there was no movement in the Fantasy Tree.

The workship Akashi once carried out a comprehensive overhaul of Nagato, but the result was that all functions were intact and there were no failures.

In the absence of a way, Yakumo Mo even invested resources to let Akashi improve Nagato, so the current Nagato should be "Nagato reform".

However, it didn't work, Nagato was still a landlubber.

“…… Thank you, Admiral. ”

After being comforted by Yakumo Mo, Nagato seemed to be getting better.

"But can you take your hand off the way?"

"Ahh I'm sorry! ”

Because the heads of the little guys who touched Yui and the mercury lamp were used to it, Yakumo subconsciously touched Nagato's head just now.

"Admiral H......"

The red-faced Nagato muttered.

"Ahem......"

In order to avoid embarrassment, Yakumo immediately changed the subject.

“…… I'll promise you not to go there in person for the time being, but if there is a real danger, it won't work! ”

"Hmm!"

Nagato nodded.

◇

It has been a while since the establishment of the United Town Guard Mansion of Gensokyo Township.

Among human beings, it has also gained a lot of popularity - thanks to Sister Yuxiang.

Therefore, a few days ago, there were other relatively close townsmen who sent the ship's mother to come over as ambassadors to make contact.

Thanks to it, the scattered town guards around Yakumo also had an understanding.

Although humans have always been extremely vigilant about the sudden appearance of Gensokyo and monsters, but because this town guard mansion also has the existence of the ship girl, the humans subconsciously put the Gensokyo and the town guard house on the opposite side of the deep sea.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

In this case, Yakumo easily got the surrounding charts from the ships from the other towns.

Together with the nautical charts provided by Chiba, I also have an understanding of Yakumo Mo in this sea area.

Judging by the feedback from the shipwives who attacked this time, the meeting point of the deep sea is located in an uninhabited archipelago between the fantasy town guard and a town guard called Genoa.

Nansha Islands.

It wasn't that the humans didn't think about setting up a town guard here to suppress the nearby seas, but after a careful investigation of the Nansha Islands, they abandoned the idea.

The largest island in the Nansha archipelago is home to an active volcano that could erupt at any moment.

The interval between eruptions is the shortest or even a few months.

Fortunately, although they erupted from time to time, they were small in scale, so they did not cause major disasters.

However, this also makes the archipelago unsuitable for human habitation.

Now, countless deep-sea habitat ships have gathered here under the attention of Yakumo Mo. (To be continued......)
