Revisit Azur Lane

"Great, these two sisters."

Zhou He then understood the meaning of Kursk's words when he left.

If these two sisters can seize this opportunity to have a second showdown, how can the others remain quiet?

He instinctively wanted to stop the two Tosa members, but then he thought about it again. This competition was for entertainment purposes. Even if the two fought to the end, he could use the excuse of interfering with the opponent's fishing to make a vague judgment.

"They really know how to exploit loopholes."

Zhou He stroked his chin. If things continue like this, the outcome is really hard to predict.

Chapter 159 Each Has Their Own Ideas

"Hey! You two, stop causing trouble!"

In fact, not many people thought of using 'artillery fire' to interfere with other teams' fishing. The Sakura Empire team also did not expect that the first thing Tosa did after running into other teams was to come back and cause trouble. This made Zuikaku, who was teaching others how to fish, very dissatisfied. Regardless of whether she was a senior or not, she directly contacted the two fighting sisters and said in an unfriendly tone: "If you want to fight, go somewhere else and don't interfere with us."

"Would you like me to lend a hand?"

Jean Bart shouted like a torch.

"No need, it'll be over soon."

Kaga gave a very perfunctory reply, but it was also a symbolic distancing from the Sakura Empire team.

There are five teams participating in this competition, and almost all of them are on their way. They are moving in different directions. For example, the Sakura Empire team is quite daring and is heading west, while the Royal Navy team is heading east in the opposite direction. Bismarck is leisurely leading her team around in the north. They are more like a security team maintaining order than contestants. Once they leave the safe zone, Elbe's small plane never comes down from the sky.

Kursk and the White Eagles were both in the south, but in different directions. Kursk was a bit further west and not that far from Tosa—but after Tosa began shelling, she quietly took her tools and distanced herself.

"...Is it starting already?"

The other teams gradually heard the two sisters' artillery duel. Hood muttered to herself as she led her team forward. She had previously explored the north, but after asking Bismarck, she naturally switched to the east, the furthest point from the unstable forces of Tosa and Sakura Empire.

She had already explained the situation to Bismarck, so the Ironbloods would most likely not bother them. The leaders of the White Eagles were Yorktown and Cleveland, one timid and the other law-abiding, so they would not pose a threat to them either.

She has the right timing, the right place, and the right people. She has at least two and a half of these advantages. As long as she's lucky, she's sure to be number one this time!

"We'll reach the first netting point in three minutes. Hermione, you take the javelins and set them up. The rest of you, continue forward."

Gathering her thoughts, Hu De began to issue orders: In the last game of rock-paper-scissors, she displayed the composure befitting a noblewoman; this time, she must prove that she has the right to be composed!

"Yes (I understand)."

Hermione and Javelin broke away from the group on the left, while the others continued eastward!

Similar situations occurred in other teams as well. Cleveland and Yuudachi Zuikaku knew how to cast their nets. Although someone was causing trouble, the ocean was so vast that the fish underwater might not necessarily be disturbed.

However, the Ironblood team continued to experience communication difficulties.

"556, where are you? Is it still a good time to go online here today?"

Z23 was actively participating in the activities, but U556 only communicated with Bismarck while she was away. She couldn't get any information from her. Looking left at Bismarck, who remained unmoved, and right at Hutten, who was indifferent, she could only talk to Count Spee and tell him about the net-casting methods she had learned from other factions. The two of them began to cast their nets strategically.

“Miss Bismarck, this is the second spot we reserved yesterday. Shall we cast our net?”

Elbe had immense respect for Bismarck and was also very interested in this event!

This is her first large-scale non-combat event since joining the port, and she must perform well to quickly escape the 'new recruit' category!

"Well, 556 was slower and we left it behind. We'll leave one net behind and deploy the other four according to the designated locations."

Bismarck wasn't deliberately ignoring Z23; he was thinking about the problem. When asked, he quickly replied, "This competition only lasts a day, so there's no rush. Let 556 observe the situation before deploying it; the success rate will be higher."

After a brief pause, she looked at Hu Teng: "The commander did not stop the Sakura Empire's 'cannon interference'. If nothing unexpected happens, someone will come here to cause trouble after they finish fighting there. If one of them comes alone, Hu Teng, you should stop her. If two of them come together, come with me to defeat them."

"it is good."

Hu Teng was surrounded by a ship-mounted dragon. Her hand gently stroked the mechanical scales, without saying a word.

"clear."

The other three responded in the same way.

……

"Too weak, too weak! You're not the only one who's improved these past few days! I've completely adapted to the battle environment here now, Tosa. Today, you'll be the one defeated!"

Despite being separated by several nautical miles, Kaga's maniacal laughter rang in Tosa's ears without missing a single word, causing the latter to become even more reserved. He continued to evade the shelling with his irregular movements, and through radar and his observations over the past few days, he predicted Kaga's possible actions and opened fire.

"Hahaha, after I defeat Tosa, I'll defeat Bismarck and claim the title of the strongest port in the entire region!"

Kaga BB's verbal assault was relentless. Physical cannonballs exploded around her, and water splashed all over her, but it did not shake her eyes in the slightest, proving that her words were not just empty shouting.

"Noisy!"

Tosa couldn't stand her arrogant rambling anymore. She should at least say such things after he had defeated her!

The two innocent sisters sailed northwest, with cannonballs exploding around them as if they were free. However, while the falling cannonballs were dangerous, the threat from beneath the sea could not be ignored. Several torpedoes flew in formation along Tosa's path, and it wasn't until they were very close to the surface that Tosa realized the danger that was approaching like a venomous snake. In a panic, she tried to adjust her direction by using her foot brake, but the inertia was too great, and the propulsion device under her feet could not even turn. She could only make a slight deviation.

Bang bang bang!

Torpedoes exploded one after another, the seawater obscured the Tosa's form, and then shells rained down from the sky, bursting forth with even brighter flashes of light from the water mist. Moments later, the Tosa, its rigging badly damaged, staggered out.

The outcome is decided!

"Hahaha! My dear sister, torpedoes, which cannot be used in actual combat, are quite useful secondary weapons in exercises and operations."

Kaga didn't get close; she only knew she had won from the reduced movement speed of Tosa shown on the radar, and she chuckled as she gave a preemptive lecture.

Last time in the bay, she underestimated the Tosa, and because the area was too small to maneuver, she didn't use the torpedoes that she usually didn't need. In subsequent operations, she discovered that the Tosa followed a pure battleship design and hardly used torpedoes, so she knew that this would be her winning weapon in the future.

As expected, we won!

"..."

As Tosa listened to Kaga's lecture and watched the shimmering light appear on the damaged ship's equipment, she recovered to her normal state in a few seconds. However, the expression on her pretty face was complicated. After a moment, she let out a sigh of relief: "I lost."

The reason she was ambushed by torpedoes was not because she was too careless, but because Kaga's actual level of battlefield control far exceeded hers. Only she was able to calculate the torpedo launch path that she couldn't dodge in time after discovering it. With Kaga's torpedo accuracy, she could easily get a lot of MVPs if she switched to being a destroyer.

"Ahem, I'm your older sister, it's not shameful for you to lose to me."

Upon hearing Tosa concede defeat, Kaga BB's spirits soared, and he responded smugly, before abruptly changing the subject: "Tosa, my duel with you has already caused everyone else to abandon me, but I still want to participate in this event..."

"Just say you want to attack other teams' battleships. This roundabout way of speaking doesn't suit you."

Tosa bluntly exposed her: "Since you and I were able to finish this fight, it means the commander approves of this harassment method of attacking other teams. If you win, it's fine, but if you lose, you may face his punishment."

The words "he," "she," and "it" in the Eastern Empire are all pronounced the same way, but here the Tosa uses the "he" from the Cherry Blossom Empire.

"I know, but I can't give up this opportunity!"

Kaga BB's excitement subsided somewhat, but then quickly rose again. He clenched his fist and said firmly, "As long as Tosa acknowledges me, I don't care if the whole world targets me."

"...What the hell does this have to do with me?"

Tosa is a bit hard to handle. She clearly went looking for trouble, and now that something's wrong, she's dragging Tosa into it? What a wonderful older sister.

However, she couldn't even beat Kaga, so challenging others would be difficult. It wouldn't be bad to let Kaga be the bad guy. So she said, "I won't get involved in the affairs of other teams. You can have Jean Bart from your team practice with me."

"Ah, I'll take care of the other teams!"

Kaga, full of confidence, contacted Jean Bart, only to be decisively rejected. Jean Bart's exact words were: "I've started fishing, I'm busy, don't get in my way."

"..."

Tosa remained expressionless upon receiving the answer. In her mind, she calculated the number of battleships and battlecruisers in the port area. The closest people she could reach were Jean Bart and Kaga, followed by the Ironblood Bismarck and Hutten.

The distance is too far, and it takes a lot of time to go back and forth. Also, everyone has started casting nets, and it would be quite a problem to accidentally get tangled in the nets while moving around.

"understood."

Tosa arrived at his answer, paused on the sea, and turned to search for Kursk, leaving Kaga alone to chuckle and turn away triumphantly to find the Ironblood army.

……

"Oh dear, Tosa lost again, and quite decisively. They underestimated Kaga. They didn't waste any time."

While watching the fishing rod float, Zhou He glanced at Tosa, whose frame was bleeding, and clicked his tongue in amazement as he helped him recover.

After making sure not to stop the two from practicing, he continued to have Yukikaze pull the boat to find schools of fish. Yukikaze then pulled the boat to the side of the port area and found a place not far from where the waterfall flows into the sea. There weren't large schools of fish, but there were more fish here than in other places, so it seemed like a good place to fish and he stopped.

He was now facing the left side of the speedboat. Xuefeng was also waiting for a fish to bite, and was also on the left side of the speedboat, but he was sitting on the sea next to the bow, fishing with the white wolf. He was a few meters away from Zhou He, so they could hear each other clearly.

"Are you talking about that battleship Kaga? I've been to quite a few experimental worlds, and I've occasionally heard about it in Tosa, but this is the first time I've ever seen Kaga in battleship form. Even in some worlds where Kaga appeared more than ten years earlier, it was in aircraft carrier form."

Yukikaze heard this and boosted the Kaga battleship's fashion status—among all the experimental worlds controlled by the Sirens, the Kaga BB was in a class of its own.

"Of course, those who can join my port area are all formidable individuals."

Zhou He chuckled. In the official history, the battleship Kaga was converted into an aircraft carrier before it was fully completed. The Sirens were replicating history, and figures who did not exist in the official history had no value to them. In addition, the aircraft carrier Kaga was a very important point in history. The Sirens would not give up the key piece, the aircraft carrier Kaga, for the uncertain factor of the battleship Kaga.

However, Yukikaze had actually heard of Tosa's name. What about Tenjo?

He wanted to ask, but the float he was watching suddenly sank to the bottom. He had a sudden thought and instinctively grabbed the fishing rod and flicked it upwards—it felt heavy, and he could even feel the fish that had taken the bait thrashing around. It was quite strong, and he couldn't catch it right away. He could only pull it up clumsily. It took him about two minutes to pull the fish out of the water. It was a fish with snowflake-like spots on its surface, a white belly, and pink ventral fins. It was more than 30 centimeters long and, judging from the feel, weighed at least four or five pounds.

"Wow!"

Xuefeng patted the white wolf, who lazily strolled over and slapped the fish, stunning it. Zhou He then easily lifted it up.

"This looks like salmon? It tastes pretty good, and it would be great for sashimi too."

Xuefeng, who had come over, helped to distinguish the fish. She had never fished, but she had eaten fish!

"Really? I suggest you eat less sashimi, as it's easy to get parasites and stomach upset."

Zhou He used all his strength to take the salmon off the hook and weighed it. It wasn't as heavy as he had imagined, only a little over two pounds but less than three pounds.

"But it's delicious!"

Yukikaze blinked and repeated.

"Don't eat it."

Zhou He repeated that he was just a country bumpkin who couldn't stand eating raw fish or living that kind of high-class life.

"Oh~ but I don't know if it will taste good if cooked normally."

Xuefeng didn't argue with Zhou He. It was just a way of eating; the other dishes in the port area were also delicious, so there was no need to be so insistent.

"You'll find out soon."

Zhou He contentedly stuffed the salmon into the fish basket: "This is for lunch."

"It is its honor to be tasted by Lord Yukikaze."

When Yukikaze first arrived, he ate alone in the cafeteria every day because he didn't know anyone there.
