On the endless sea, the festival sailed slowly.

On the deck, the youkai formed a circle.

In the middle, there is a deep-sea perch that has been forcibly controlled by sealing magic and is struggling.

"Oh, I've fought so much, but it's the first time I've caught it and looked closely, DA☆ZE!"

"No matter how you look at it, it's very similar to King Kong......

"Goo...... Disgusting breath! ”

"Darling! This man's eyes are so scary! ”

"陛xià, detect the strong hostility of the other party, build yì erase!"

……

Twitter, every word you say to me, just like a vegetable market.

After speculating that the deep-sea habitat ship might evolve against the people of Gensokyo, Yakumo immediately asked Xiaoxing to turn on a wide-area radar that was as large as a ghost animal compared to the ship's mother.

Unexpectedly, Yakumo once again discovered a perch.

This time, it's a large habitat that's even bigger than the previous medium-sized habitat!

Without letting Xiaoxing make a move, Yakumo Mo personally and Purple, with Yuka and Wattola, who were also interested, and Marisa and other people who joined in the fun, wiped out all the frigates in this habitat with an absolutely tough attitude.

Then the land base of this habitat was seized.

Looking at this deep-sea habitat ship on the deck, Yakumo always felt a little subtle.

This is a very petite little Lori like Xiaoxing.

The same gray hair.

The same blood-colored eyes.

It's just that compared to Xiaoxing, this little guy looks even smaller.

It's just a young girl.

- Northern Qihime, as she is called in the Deep Sea Atlas.

"So cute......"

Seeing the northern Qihime who was still struggling after being trapped and making a "babbling" sound in his mouth, Yakumo couldn't help but mutter.

And then—

"Staring ......"

In an instant, Asukina, Aster, Nayako, the elves, and Xiaoxing all turned their heads to stare at Yakumo Mo.

And then. Esther and Xiaoxing, the two little guys who also belonged to the white-haired and paralyzed Lori camp, turned their heads to stare at the northern Qiji.

The strong hostility and vinegar smell drifted out of the wind for three hundred miles.

"Let me go...... Let go of my ......"

The northern Qi Ji let out a staccato sound, and at the same time, her blood-colored eyes stared at the four King Kong sisters.

The hostility that comes from the depths of the soul is too obvious.

"It seems that as long as King Kong and your four sisters are here, this little guy will not be quiet."

Yakumo shook his head.

"Well, it seems like that, so let's avoid it for a while? After all, what the deep sea people have always hated is only our ship's mother......"

I'm a little sorry though. But everyone still acquiesced to the first exit of the four King Kong sisters.

Sure enough, after King Kong and the others left, the northern Qiji was a little quieter.

Although he is still struggling, the state of wanting to bite others with his teeth has improved.

Squatting down, Yakumo looked at the Northern Qihime, who was trapped by the magic array and sealed his power at the same time.

"Can you tell us, why do you deep-sea dwelling ships hate ship mothers so much?"

Xiao Bei turned his head to stare at Yakumo and didn't answer, just kept repeating words like "let go of me".

"It seems that my mind is a little immature......

A distressed frown. Yakumo sighed.

"No, it's not."

Purple squinted at Little North.

"When I was fighting just now, I deliberately sensed the thinking fluctuations of the deep-sea habitat ships, although I couldn't understand what the information transmitted by this kind of thinking network between them was concrete, but I could be sure that this little guy was the decision-making brain of all the deep-sea habitat ships in that habitat."

"Judging by the fact that they are decent or even excellent in battle, she can't be an immature child who can be used as a decision-making brain."

"But this guy looks like a kid?"

The big red bow on the back of Reimu's head moved. I was a little skeptical of Purple's statement.

"Ask her and don't say anything, just repeat letting her go or something."

"Perhaps...... It is very good only in combat. Mentally immature in other ways? ”

Kaguya made her own guess.

"Well, I can't rule it out."

Purple suddenly laughed with an inexplicable taste, and the folded parasol tapped lightly on the deck.

For a moment, everyone felt that the space around them seemed to be a little different.

"Well, in order to prevent this little guy from having any special way to contact other deep-sea dwelling ships, I completely cut off the space around here."

Looking at the northern perch, who seemed to be unable to connect with other deep-sea perched ships through some kind of mental network, and thus showed a panicked expression for the first time. Yakumo Mo feels ...... I'm about to be killed by Moe.

"Ah, it seems that Mo'er, you also need to avoid it."

The smiling purple laughed while arranging the blonde hair that was disturbed by the sea breeze in her ears.

"I don't need to use this."

Although the northern Qiji is very cute, Yakumo Mo will not give up research or anything because of this.

Whether the deep sea can evolve against those of them from Gensokyo, it must be clarified.

"So...... Real yàn began to ......"

Pache Li, who had been holding a book on the side, was so quiet that she barely felt like zài. Raise your right hand.

The magic array that sealed the northern roof has been partially dismantled.

A translucent shield immediately appeared around the body of the northern suhime, who found that she seemed to be able to move again.

Purple placed her hand on the shield.

Centered on the palm that was as smooth as white jade, circles of ripple-like lines spread out.

"Sure enough! This shield has quirkiness. ”

It didn't take long for Purple to withdraw her arm and laugh.

"It's not complete yet, but it already has some resistance to demonic power and magical power."

So the crowd fell silent.

It has only been about a month since they first encountered a deep-sea perch.

And the deep-sea habitat ships they encountered before were also wiped out by them.

In this case, after encountering the deep-sea habitat ship again, the opponent was able to evolve resistance to magic and demonic power on the shield - even if this resistance seems insignificant now, it is enough for everyone to take seriously.

"This rate of evolution ...... It's horrible! ”

Remilia clasped her hands to her chest, flapping her wings and levitating in mid-air to look at Purple.

"But one thing is very strange, since these deep-sea habitat ships can evolve against us, then why have those ship girls fought with them for so many years, and they have not changed?"

"I'm afraid...... It's also to blame for the connection between the ship's mother and the deep sea. ”

"Contact?"

"Judging from the undisguised hatred of the deep sea towards the ship girl, there must be a connection between them, didn't that Chiba also say that after the ship girl sank with extreme negative feelings, it will become the deep sea."

“…… Could it be that the deep sea and the ship mother are actually one? Yakumo showed an incredulous expression, "This is too unbelievable. ”

"I don't know what you're talking about, DA☆ZE? Won't all our future attacks be ineffective against these guys? ”

Marisa asked, distressed.

"Well, that's not possible."

Purple waved her hand and laughed.

"Resistance to demonic power and magic alone cannot resist the combined attack effect of these two forces through the use of skill and talent. For example, although a simple demonic attack will weaken the effect due to resistance, their shields will definitely not be able to stop the damage caused by the power of the realm to their bodies. ”

- You are the same. What's more, even if they have resistance, why not increase their output beyond their limits? ”

Zi's words suddenly made everyone's atmosphere relaxed again.

It's just that Ya Yunmo noticed that Zi, who said this, didn't have the slightest smile in his eyes.

[Hawkers,It seems that there are still some key points...... my sister hasn't said it] (to be continued......)
