Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1574 This is not the end of your life, but the starting point of our future

"commander……"

Without waiting for Enterprise Meta to say anything more while staring at him and choking with sobs, he felt his heart tremble just by hearing the heartbreaking "Commander".

He lovingly wiped away the tears on the face of the silver-gray-haired aircraft carrier girl with his fingers, and continued in the most gentle tone:
"Do you remember you told me that you liked your name very much?

"From the time 'Key Point G' was officially given the name 'Enterprise', we were visiting Aosta on the island of Somers that day, and you were so excited that you couldn't sleep all night.

"Then we secretly went for a walk on the beach outside the naval port late at night without telling Angie."

At this point, Anjie next to him pouted and interrupted:
"You didn't really think I didn't notice it at the time? I can't say who hacked into the surveillance system of the Somers Island Naval Port that day."

"Cough cough..."

Lin Lan coughed awkwardly, ignored Anjie's complaints, and continued to look at the enterprise meta and said with a smile:

"When we were watching the stars together on the beach, I told you the story behind this name you inherited."

Seeing that Enterprise Meta had stopped crying, as if she had returned to the memories of that time with his story, he gently straightened Enterprise Meta's messy bangs:
“Just like the companies in history, you have fought the long battle, you have finished the road you should travel, and you have kept the path you should guard.

"We meet again. You have become a legend that we are proud of.

"Even if you have forgotten the agreement we made, you have still fulfilled your part of the agreement.

"As your commander, I also need to fulfill this agreement."

Under the confused gaze of Enterprise Meta, he took out an exquisite small gift box from his pocket, then knelt on one knee on the ground in the lavender field and opened the gift box.

A promise ring, shining with pure white light, is quietly placed in the gift box.

This was not created by him using high-dimensional power, but was the real vow wedding ring he got from Akashi.

“When you become a legend worthy of the name ‘The Enterprise’, I will formally propose to you.

"Time and fate are no longer the barriers between us. Are you willing to make a vow with me?"

Another soft breeze blew through the lavender fields.

The petals flying in the wind and the commander kneeling on one knee in front of her looking at her expectantly, waiting for her response, finally reminded Enterprise Meta of the promise they made under the starry sky. Tears could not be stopped from falling from her eyes again.

Yes.

I finally remembered everything I had agreed with the commander.

But an inexplicable feeling of fear suddenly emerged in her heart.

Will this dream of happiness that makes me unwilling to wake up be shattered once I put on the ring of promise?

I have become so meta that my life has come to an end. I have destroyed countless civilizations and worlds with my own hands. Am I really worthy of the word "legend" that the commander said?

At this moment, the rationality of corporate meta popped up countless concerns for her.

But looking at Lin Lan's bright eyes filled with love and expectation, Enterprise meta's mouth finally curled up into a faint smile of relief.

Even if this is just a brief dream at the end of life, even if I am not a "legend" recognized by everyone.

As long as it was the commander's request, she would always agree with pleasure.

It is enough for me... to become a "legend" recognized by the commander.

"Even if this is just a fantasy when my life reaches its end, Commander."

The emotion called happiness washed away all the worries in the girl's heart.

Tears were clearly falling from her cheeks again, but this meta aircraft carrier girl tried her best to put on a bright and happy smile, and gently raised her left hand to Lin Lan:
"No matter how many times you ask me, no matter if my existence continues or not, my answer will always be the same.

"I am willing to swear an oath to the commander."

After Enterprise Meta's reply that sounded like a vow of agreement, Anjie, with tears in her eyes, flapped her wings in her arms and flew back to the shoulder of the original carrier girl.

Lin Lan took the oath ring in the gift box very solemnly, put it on the ring finger of his left hand, and stood up.

"How about it, Enterprise Meta, do you like this oath ring?"

"Yeah, I like it." Seeing the corporate meta who was carefully looking at the vow ring on her left ring finger with a happy face and stroking it with great cherishment, Lin Lan and Anjie smiled at each other.

As the corporate meta answered, the surrounding lavender fields began to gradually become blurred.

"Well, Enterprise Meta, it's time for you to wake up."

"What...wait...don't leave me..."

Hearing his words, Enterprise Meta trembled all over, and stretched out his hands in fear to grab him and Anjie, but it was like touching a projection and it touched nothing.

"Assistant, are you an idiot? How dare you say such a thing without considering the situation? You've wasted all those galgames I asked Dais to collect for you!"

"I finally understand who Miss D learned to complain from."

Lin Lan glared at Anjie first, then looked at the corporate meta who was looking at them at a loss, and said to comfort them:

"Don't be afraid, I won't abandon you.

"This is not the end of your life, but the starting point of our future..."

As everything around him gradually faded into darkness, his voice became fainter and fainter until it disappeared completely.

“Perhaps this is death.”

Realizing that his body and everything around him had merged into the darkness, Enterprise Meta smiled softly to himself.

But even so, the sense of fulfillment she felt from wearing the ring of promise on her left ring finger reminded her that all the beautiful and happy things she had just experienced were not false.

"But if this is death, it's... not bad."

Yes.

For her, as long as she could clearly feel that the ring of oath that the commander had put on her was still there, she would have no regrets even if she died.

But what did the commander mean by his last words?

She knew very well that her life was coming to an end, and even Ling and her sister York City were helpless.

After all, no known means can stop the disintegration of the ship's origin cube.

"Ding, ding, ding, ding... sizzle..."

Just as the enterprise meta-consciousness was immersed in the darkness and lost in thought, she suddenly heard a faint sound like some kind of mechanical equipment being turned on.

Two hurried footsteps came closer and closer, and finally seemed to stop in front of him.

"who is it……"

Instinctively, Enterprise Meta wanted to open her eyes to see who was coming, but she only felt that her eyelids were as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

But the next second, Lin Lan's last words made Enterprise Meta seem to realize something.

At the same time, she clearly felt her left hand being tightly grasped by a warm palm, as if instilling infinite strength in her.

Confused, shocked, expectant...

In an instant, countless emotions surged from Enterprise Meta's heart, allowing her to finally complete the simple action of opening her eyes.

What caught her eyes were the two familiar faces of a man and a woman who had just disappeared, both with happy smiles on their faces.

"Speaking of the assistant, when she first opened her eyes after completing the ship concept anchoring from the Mind Cube, it seemed that the first thing she saw was the two of us."

"I think she definitely doesn't remember her childhood memories, but this kind of occasion is indeed a new starting point for all of us to move towards the future together... Look, corporate meta, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

The commander bowed his head and greeted him with a gentle smile on his face.

Feeling that his body was gradually regaining control, Enterprise Meta nodded weakly.

There were no more tears this time, and a bright smile from the heart appeared on the face of the original ship girl.
