The twenty-fifth day of crossing another world, sunny.

North Coast.

"Smack"

A pale palm stretched out from the water and grabbed the reef, and the blurred figure under the water gradually became clear.

"Wow~"

A figure popped out. Shaking off the drops of water on his face, Lilan, who was relieved, swam towards the shore.

"It's okay......"

Feeling the heavy cold touch in his hands, Li Lan couldn't help but secretly take chances.

When Rilan found the half of the wreck under the seabed of the north coast, the delicate balance that had been maintained inside for an unknown amount of time was broken due to a mistake, and when there was no time to transport the resources out, he could only throw those things with a protective layer into the sea first, otherwise there would be absolutely no reason to survive in the subsequent sea pressure rapids.

In the belief that there might be some other use for it later, Reichlan almost threw more than half of the fuel barrels down before the balance completely collapsed.

Now it seems that although there were heavy losses due to the collision, at least two sorties to support Ninghai were enough.

15 units of fuel and 20 units of ammunition, which is the most resources that Ninghai can reserve at one time.

It is impossible to use ammunition, and now Li Lan is a little stretched to supplement Ninghai as "food" every day, let alone support a naval battle.

However, the purpose of Lilan's expedition this time was not to start a war with those deep-sea habitat ships - just kidding, both the firepower and the number were enough to create a crushing advantage over the current Ninghai.

The only purpose of this expedition was to explore the nearby seas and find a possible "friend" in the town guard's mansion, and when the time came, if we could get some resources from that "friend", the situation would not be as embarrassing as it is now. What's more, can you get some resources to assist in cultivation?

"Lord Admiral, Ning Hai's preparations for the expedition have been completed-eh, Lord Admiral, these are ......"

Coming back to his senses, Li Lan patted the oil drum beside him and showed a big smile to Ning Hai.

"Fuel, this should be enough for one use, right?"

"Well, it's completely enough" Ning Hai turned his head embarrassedly: "People still think it's just those three basic units......

When Ninghai was built, it came with three units of ammunition and fuel, and the devil knows what the principle was.

Shaking his head with a smile, Li Lan lifted the two oil drums next to him: "Ning Hai will wait on the boat first-"

What's weird about that?

Putting aside the anachronistic thoughts, Rilan continued: "When I get these things over, I'm ready to go"

"That, Lord Admiral......" Ning Hai looked at Li Lan and raised his little hand timidly: "Ning Hai can actually help"

“……”

Looking at Ning Hai's delicate and fair skin exposed by the slipping of the cuffs, as well as his slender arms, and the height that reached his chest-

"Ahem, I'm still going to do this kind of thing-?!"

Probably sensing Li Lan's questioning gaze, Ning Hai seemed to be angry and lifted the oil drum that Li Lan had piled up on the other side and stacked into two layers.

Yes, that's right, no, it's not a pick-up! Not to mention! Not even lifted!

She relied on the soft and boneless palm to lift the thing weighing 20kg (the fuel weight is different under the special world view, don't take it seriously) steadily!

And it doesn't look like he's blushing or panting, it's just beyond the scope of being at ease, okay!

Not only the teeth, but also the feeling that his stomach hurt a little.

“…… Ahem, okay, you be careful and get down......"

―――――― Split ――――――

Fuel is on the road.

"Lord Admiral, can I ask you one thing?"

"Huh?"

"Did these things come from the sea?"

"Well, some of the resources you built before were also fished from there" After a pause, Lilan continued with some regret: "But due to a mistake in the operation, a considerable part of all of them were scrapped"

"Is it ......" Li Lan, who was walking in the front, didn't see the sadness in the eyes of the girl behind him.

(The smell...... That's right...... ）

"Lord Admiral......"

"What's wrong?"

“…… Hmm~ nothing"

sighed in his heart, and the footsteps of Lilan in front of him did not stop at all.

Although I don't know the specific reason, it is probably that Ning Hai knows about it - this is also the reason why Li Lan broke her apart early in the morning and ran to the north coast alone, but I didn't expect her to move so fast.

For the ship's mother, the feeling when they see the sunken battleship is probably similar to when humans see the dead human corpses, but what makes them even more painful is-

They are called sisters.

Lilan doesn't know what the relationship between the shipwives is, but they are also born as "weapons of war", and as "comrades-in-arms" facing common enemies, no matter how bad they are, they will not be bad.

Under this premise, how painful would it be to see the "corpses" of other shipwives?

No matter what world it is, it has always been a mistake to have emotions with weapons created for the purpose of war!

―――――― Split ――――――

With Ning Hai's assistance, the time for transporting fuel was greatly reduced, and although he was reluctant to admit it, the power contained in that slender body was indeed far beyond that of Li Lan.

Only then did Lilan realize how stupid it was for him to single-handedly attempt to hold a deep-sea habitat ship hostage.

Can you hold it hostage, even if the hijacking is successful, what do you rely on to restrain her actions?

This kind of inhuman strength, not to mention ropes and the like, even the iron chains with lower strength will probably be broken free.

Looking up at the sky, in the absence of time calibration instruments such as clocks, Rilan could only estimate time by this primitive method.

"It should be almost...... After the patrol of the deep-sea habitat ship in the east, we will set off! ”

Ning Hai lowered his head, unable to see her expression clearly, and only replied with a low "um" to Li Lan's "enthusiasm".

Sighing, Lilan squatted down and looked directly into the girl's red eyes.

Anyway, she's still just a kid.

"Is Ning Hai afraid?"

The girl shook her head lightly and sniffed: "Fighting this kind of thing, this is our mission in the first place......"

"It's not just you~"

Gently put it on the girl's forehead -

On the inverted tree of Kabbalah, there has never been a class of "weapons of war", but this does not mean that they are not beings.

"I don't know about the others, but at least my words—"

They will bleed, they will die, they will grieve, they will suffer, they will be happy, they will be moved.

"I'll fight with you until the last moment - that's my Rilan's vow!"
