Compared to the entire afternoon spent harvesting resources, the construction time of 20 minutes passed quickly

During construction, an unusual noise came from the West Coast again to confirm Reilan's suspicions.

If nothing else, it should be the location of the dockyard when this town guard mansion was intact, so whether it is Ninghai or Z16, and the current battleship has been built in that direction.

It's just that it sank for some reason during the war, or did it - the sea level rise?

Reminiscent of the ocean scene on the west side that Ninghai saw when he set out on the expedition, although it sounds exaggerated, the second possibility is indeed greater.

Shaking his head, putting aside the questions that were still a little too long ago, Lilan looked at the girl who appeared in front of him.

Her long silver hair, which barely reached her waist, her blue pupils, her black hat embroidered with the symbol of a water anchor, and her schoolchild-like uniform—except for the black stockings on her legs, she was almost indistinguishable from a doll in the store, except for a "schoolboy" model.

"Destroyer, Hibiki, report to you, Lord Admiral" looked up at Rilan, the girl's faint tone barely rose and fell.

If nothing else, it's another ship girl who needs psychological counseling......

Holding out his hand to the expressionless girl, Lilan smiled as gently as possible: "Welcome." ”

Destroyer, ringing.

The ship has a total length of 113.23 meters, a total width of 10.36 meters, a draft of 3.28 meters, a standard displacement of 1,680 tons, and is equipped with a 126mm twin gun, as well as underwater weapons, and one triple 60cm torpedo tube.

―――――― Split ――――――

"In other words, don't you all know Hibiki?"

In the vestibule, Li Lan asked Ning Hai and Z16 in surprise, and Li Lan replied with a neat shaking of his head.

"Hmm~Z16 hasn't met Hibiki-chan before~" Z16 nodded, his expression distressed.

"Maybe it's because the memory is incomplete...... Ning Hai hesitated to look at the sound who was standing silently on the side - she hadn't said a word since she greeted Lilan, just quietly followed Lilan's instructions and followed him.

Autism, I just don't know how far it has been.

Li Lan reluctantly let go of his position, and said gently to Xiang encouragingly: "In the future, we will be partners who will fight together, don't you want to introduce yourself?" ”

Silently looked at Z16, who frowned and recalled something, and Ning Hai, whose expression was slightly embarrassed, for a while: "...... Hibiki didn't know them. ”

If you know each other, you still need to be introduced?!

"Ahem, that's why you want to introduce it, right?" Lilan is "amiable" and "kind and seductive".

"If it's an order from the Admiral."

Has this all risen to the level of command......

"My name is Hibiki" took a step forward, and Hibiki's tone remained unchanged, which made Lilan a little worried - the daily state is like this, and what the wartime state should become.

"Please advise me in the future"

"I'm Z16~ I'll be your sister in the future~" Z16, who had been thinking for no avail, completely gave up the treatment and directly demarcated the "class", and Lilan also decided - Z16's meal tonight will be halved.

"That, I'm Ning Hai......" Ning Hai's fear aura popped up again - didn't she know that she was pressed on her head by Z16 because of this?

"Please advise ......"

“……”

“……”

“……”

Then, it was cold again.

"Ahem, let's leave it like this for the time being, Ning Hai will take the sound ...... first" Seeing Ning Hai's pitiful gaze, Li Lan was helpless: "Let me take the sound first"

"Na, Lord Admiral, Z16 is okay~"

"Rejected"

"Eh, Z16 isn't finished yet"

"Anyway, I'll take you to familiarize yourself with the surrounding environment, and I'll leave the warning to you."

"Yes, Admiral"

"No problem~ Leave this kind of trivial matter to Z16~"

―――――― Split ――――――

"At present, including Hibiki, there are only four people on this island" The light blade in his left hand poked out, and Lilan walked in front to lead the way, while casually talking about the topic: "Have you noticed Hibiki too?" It's not like the Townsman you've been in before—"

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the girl behind him, but regretfully found that she still maintained the slightly cold expression at the beginning.

"It's probably like that before, except it seems to have been destroyed after a losing war, and there's almost no equipment left to use other than the builders."

"It's okay"

If he hadn't had enough confidence in his hearing, Lilan would have thought that he had had auditory hallucinations just now.

"Huh?"

"The title of the immortal bird is not called in vain" Raising her head, the girl's blue pupils were full of fighting spirit.

However,

“…… Sorry can you tell me...... What is that 'immortal bird'? ”

“……”

The topic that was finally opened is over again.

Rao is a strong state of mind that is a little unbearable now, and there is no intersection between him and Hibiki at all, how can the conversation be established.

“…… Is the Admiral worried about ringing? ”

"That's not what I said" Hesitantly glanced at the girl behind her, Li Lan couldn't grasp her thoughts now, to say that she was autistic, it didn't look like it from the previous self-introduction, if it was just a simple cold personality, when I mentioned the "immortal bird" just now, the enthusiasm in my eyes didn't seem to be fake.

"Forget it, I'll just explain it" Stopping, Lilan turned around and said with a serious expression: "Maybe in the next second, at the latest, in 17 hours, we will have a battle, and the probability of winning this battle in the end is less than 50%, so I must understand what you really think before fighting." ”

Xiang Xiang, who was a little confused about Li Lan's words, showed a puzzled expression: "Xiang really thinks? ”

"Ah, it's like a ......" tone: "I don't want to end this life that is less than 24 hours"

"Lord Admiral"

"Huh?"

"You're not really Lord Admiral," although it was a questioning statement, it was said in an affirmative tone, and the face of Hibiki was no longer the unwavering expression, but serious and slightly angry.

"Hibiki was born to fight against the deep-sea dwelling ship, and such a thing as leaving the Admiral and escaping from the battle by himself will only be a shame engraved on Hibiki's soul, even if you are the Admiral, you can't say such a thing."

“…… I'm sorry" Looking at Hibiki's immature and firm face, Li Lan smiled helplessly and bitterly: "It's my fault"

Taking a deep breath, Lilan suppressed the emotions tumbling in his heart: "Next, I will explain the current situation to you in detail"

ps: From tomorrow onwards, double change, ask for all kinds of support~
