I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

After Javelin and the others escaped from Yuhaka's clutches, they looked at the empty corridors of the Demon King's castle with puzzled expressions. They were clearly surprised that there were no demon guards here.

This made them feel very strange. After Yuhaka returned to his first form, he took out the Demon-Slaying Holy Sword and Baradion. However, Yuhaka did not sense any trace of anyone and scratched his head with his big tail, looking very puzzled.

Seeing Yuhaka's puzzled expression, the others asked him:

"Yuyu-chan, have you sensed any signs of any creature?"

Upon hearing Javelin's question, Yuhaka sensed for a moment and then shook his head, indicating that he had not sensed anything. Yuhaka's reaction made Javelin and the others feel very strange. If there was no sign of life, then what was going on?

"It's probably some kind of trap they've set for us. Everyone should be careful."

Hearing the terrifying words, Javelin and the others nodded. Then, the terrifying one turned to Yuhaka and said:

"Youyou, I'll have to trouble you to go first."

“OwO/~”

When asked about the terrifying words, Yuhaka raised her little hand to indicate that she had no problem. After receiving Yuhaka's affirmation, Yuhaka and the others began to search for the Demon King's location. According to the information Yuhaka obtained from the Demon King's subordinates, the Demon King should be in the conference room located on the upper floor.

So the group marched aggressively toward the direction above, and soon, Yuhaka and the others encountered the corpse of a monster... that's right, the corpse of a monster.

When Yuhaka saw the monster's corpse, she had an "OwO???" expression, clearly not expecting that "the monster had fallen before Yuhaka even made a move." Javelin and the others also looked puzzled when they saw the monster's corpse lying on the ground, clearly not expecting such a thing to happen.

"Strange, why are there monster corpses here? We haven't even made a move yet!"

Regarding the question about the javelin, Ke Bu was also very puzzled as he looked at the monster corpses on the ground. Through Ke Bu's discovery, the monster corpses had obvious burn marks. Of course, these were not the marks left by Yuhaka's flame jets, but marks caused by some kind of beam weapon. Moreover, these marks looked very familiar.

"Javelin, do you think this mark looks like a Siren attack?"

Hearing these horrifying words, Javelin couldn't help but examine the monster's corpse on the ground more closely and said:

"Hmm...it does resemble a Siren's beam attack, but why would a Siren attack something it created?"

Upon hearing Javelin's question, Brutal shook his head, indicating he wasn't quite sure. After all, he was puzzled as to why the other party would attack his own creation. Yuhaka tilted his head, looking at the monster's corpse on the ground. Based on the conversation between Brutal and Javelin, Yuhaka also didn't understand why the other party would kill their own people.

But this didn't stop Yuhaka and her friends. Once they reached the monster's meeting hall, they would naturally find out the answer to everything.

As Yuhaka and her companions advanced towards their target location, they came across a field of monster corpses. These monsters had been killed by some kind of beam weapon used by the Sirens, which made Yuhaka and her companions even more puzzled.

Soon, led by Yuhaka, Yuhaka and her group arrived at the entrance of the monster conference hall. After exchanging glances, Yuhaka raised her small foot and kicked the door hard. With a powerful kick, the tall conference hall door was sent flying. After the door spun in the air and landed on the ground, Yuhaka and her group cautiously stepped into the conference hall. There, they saw several monster corpses lying on the conference table in the center of the hall. By observing the monster corpses, Yuhaka and her group could confirm that they were the monster officers under the Demon King.

But now they've become motionless corpses... which is quite hard to understand.

Why did this happen? Why would the Sirens want to eliminate their own forces?

Regarding the javelin incident, Ke Bu also seemed quite bewildered, looking at the fallen corpses on the table. Judging from their expressions, they were discussing something when they were killed with a single blow, clearly not realizing what had happened. This puzzled everyone.

But at that moment, a projection screen suddenly appeared in the hall. Seeing this projection screen startled Yuhaka and the others. Then they were surprised to see the observer's figure on the projection screen.

"Hey, good afternoon~ How did you little lab mice feel about the adventure?"

Hearing the observer's words, Javelin stared at him with an unfriendly expression. After all, his date with Yhaka had been interrupted by the other person, who had even impersonated him to date Yhaka. Just thinking about these things made Javelin very angry.

Others also didn't have a good attitude towards the Sirens. After all, they had been fighting the Sirens at sea for so many years, and it wasn't something that could be changed overnight.

Only Yuhaka looked at the observer with a puzzled expression. After all, she didn't understand why the observer had suddenly killed these monsters and then appeared as if mocking them. Most importantly, Yuhaka hadn't defeated the Great Demon King yet!

Seeing that Yuhaka and the others looked unhappy, the observer also looked at them with a grin and said:

"Oh dear, you all seem quite angry. But I can understand, after all, you worked so hard to defeat everyone here and were planning to finally defeat the boss. However, I'm sorry, due to the sea fog, I have to stop this experiment. So, goodbye, my little guinea pigs~"

With that, the observer disconnected the projector screen, leaving Yuhaka and the others completely bewildered.

Volume 1 [Lazy Chapters]: Chapter 1497 [The Mirror Space Incident Ends]

Upon hearing the observer's words, Javelin and the others looked completely bewildered, clearly not yet understanding what was going on.

After the observer's projection screen disappeared, Javelin and the others realized what had happened; they had been stood up by the Sirens.

As a jumble of images appeared around them, Javelin and her companions suddenly found themselves in mid-air. Upon seeing this, they panicked and felt a pull of gravity pulling them down, realizing they were falling.

Fortunately, Yhaka reacted quickly, immediately transforming into his third form and catching the javelins in his palm. The javelins lying on Yhaka's large claws gave him a thumbs-up, as if to say:

"Well done, Yoyo-chan!"

“OowoO~”

Hearing Javelin's praise, Yuhaka looked pleased. However, after hearing Karyl's screams, Yuhaka and the others looked up. They saw Karyl flying through the air with a terrified expression and shouted:

"Meowhhhhh?! Am I going to die?! Teeth white, teeth white—!?"

Seeing this, Javelin and the others couldn't help but show an embarrassed expression. However, Yuhaka didn't seem to mind. After quickly catching Karyl and the others, Yuhaka and the others noticed a girl with long black hair next to Karyl. The girl looked dazed and seemed like a 5 or 6-year-old child.

Seeing the black-haired girl next to Karyl, Javelin couldn't help but ask Karyl:

"Miss Karyl, and who is this?"

Upon hearing Javelin's words, Karyl instinctively replied:

"Oh, you mean her? She's our companion, Yuuki. Honestly, I don't know why, but when we found her, she was being treated to good food and drinks in a room. What happened to being arrested?!"

Hearing Karyl's sour tone, Javelin and the others could roughly tell that Karyl was extremely envious and jealous of the fact that the other person could eat and drink peacefully in the cell, while they were constantly being controlled and then rescued.

However, Karyl looked around and couldn't help but ask:

"Huh? Where are Pecorine and the others?"

Hearing Karyl's question, Yuhaka and the others also looked puzzled. They didn't know where Pecorine and the others were either. Just then, Javelin and the others suddenly heard the communication ring. This made them pause for a moment. After trying to switch out their ship equipment, the ship equipment they were wearing before was able to be activated again.

After seeing that their ship equipment could be activated, Javelin and the others connected to the communication system on their wristbands. They then saw Sirius and Pecorine on the projection screen. Seeing that Pecorine and the others were safe and sound, Karyl breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Phew, looks like nothing's going on your end either."

Hearing Karyl's words, Pecorine smiled and said to Karyl and the others:

"Hehehe~ We were quite startled when we were suddenly teleported to the open sea at first!"

Kokkoro, standing nearby, added:

"Fortunately, Miss Sirius and Miss Dido were there, so we were spared from falling into the sea."

After learning that Kokkoro and Pecorine were alright, Karyl breathed a sigh of relief, while Sirius spoke to Javelin and the others:

"Miss Pecorine and Miss Kokkoro are alright, but because of the appearance of the Fog Fleet, we can't take them with us in battle. Could Miss Yuu take them away from here first?"

Hearing Sirius and the others' words, Pecorine, who was standing nearby, also raised her weapon and said to them:

"Hey~ Even we can help out~"

Sirius looked at Pecorine with a slightly helpless expression and said:

“Miss Pecorine, our next enemy is not a very good enemy, and given that you lack the ability to fight on the sea, you are likely to become their target.”

Hearing Sirius's words, Pecorine seemed about to say something, while Karyl, who was standing next to Javelin, spoke up to Pecorine and the others:

"Alright, Pecorine, let Javelin and the others handle this. They know that enemy called the Fog Fleet better than we do. We'll only be a hindrance here."

Upon hearing Karyl's words, Pecorine seemed to give in and looked somewhat dejected, saying:

"All right.........."

Regardless, after Yhaka arrived at Sirius and the others' location, Pecorine looked at Yhaka, who had transformed into a giant dragon, with sparkling eyes and said:

Wow! Is this Yoyo?! It looks so delicious!

"Oo——oO!?"

Hearing Pecorine's words, Ehaka tucked her tail between her legs and stared at Pecorine on the Sirius deck, clearly seeing something terrifying. She even made a move to run away. Karyl, upon hearing Pecorine's words, looked at her with obvious anger and said:

"Hey?! Pecorine! What nonsense are you spouting?!"

In response to Karyl's words, Pecorine scratched the back of her head and stuck out her tongue, saying:

"Hehehe~ Just kidding~"

Seeing Pecorine's reaction, Karyl's eyes twitched a few times, showing that she was speechless at Pecorine's words, since Karyl felt that Pecorine's words did not sound like a joke.

However, it wasn't all that great. Yuhaka and Pecorine floated in the air first, while Javelin and the others activated their ship equipment and prepared for battle. Karyl and the others, who were in Yuhaka's hands, watched Javelin and the others moving on the sea. Now Karyl and the others realized why Javelin and the others called themselves sea spirits, seeing how Javelin and the others drew beautiful curves on the sea like ice skaters.

Soon, after passing through a layer of mist, Yuhaka and her group saw the Sea Fog Fleet floating on the sea, engaged in combat with a group of Sirens.

Upon seeing this, Karyl and the others realized that the ship here seemed to be a little different from the ship on their side.

Seeing the beams of light clashing against each other, Karyl immediately felt it was a good thing they hadn't interfered; otherwise, she suspected they would have been riddled with holes by those beams.

Yuhaka and the others watched as Javelin and her team dealt with the Fog Fleet and the Siren Fleet. The Fog Fleet and the Siren Fleet had fought once before, and the two were roughly evenly matched. Javelin and her team quickly sank them.

After dealing with the fog fleet and the Siren fleet, Javelin and the others returned to Yuhaka's side.

"The enemy has been dealt with, we can head back to the port area!"

Upon hearing that she could return to the port area, Evil couldn't help but think of her familiar big bed and began to miss it. Apart from the big bed she slept in with Triumph and the others, she had never slept in a nice big bed before.

After Yhaka and the others left with their javelins, the observer emerged from the sea. Looking at Yhaka and the others as they departed, the observer couldn't help but show a regretful expression and said:

"It's a pity. The research could have been completed in just a few days. But it's alright. The research department at Azur Lane should have come up with something. We can just go there and get the research results."

As he spoke, the observer also submerged into the sea and disappeared, leaving behind only the wreckage of the disappearing Sea Fog Fleet and Siren Fleet.

Meanwhile, after flying for a while longer, Yuhaka and her group finally returned to the Azur Lane headquarters.

P.S.: It really is pharyngitis, and it's gotten worse. My throat feels dry and sore now, but thankfully I've identified the symptoms and know what medicine to take.

Volume 1 [Lazy Chapters]: Chapter 1498 [The Javelin About to Die (2000 words)]

With Yuhaka's flying speed, Yuhaka and her group quickly returned to the port of Azur Lane. Just as Yuhaka and her group were about to arrive at the port, Javelin and her group sent a signal to headquarters. Upon learning that Javelin and her group, who had been missing for a day, had returned, Azur Lane headquarters breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, when Yuhaka and her group went missing, Azur Lane was in quite a turmoil. In addition to Javelin and her group disappearing, the disappearance of Yuhaka alone made people very nervous.

After all, Yuhaka is a guest from another world. If Yuhaka disappears, how can they explain this to Yuhaka and her companions?

Laffey wasn't too worried about Yhaka's safety. After all, she was connected to Yhaka and knew that Yhaka was fine. Laffey knew when Yhaka left the Azur Lane port, but she wasn't too concerned. Laffey felt that Yhaka must have something important to do before flying out of the port, otherwise she wouldn't have left. Of course, it was also possible that she was fishing.

Furthermore, Yhaka's strength means that Laffey doesn't need to worry about Yhaka encountering any enemies.

After Yuhaka and her group returned to the port, a large crowd gathered at the port where Azur Lane headquarters was located, waiting for their return. Soon, at the landing spot specially prepared for Yuhaka at the port, Yuhaka drew an arc in the air and landed steadily on the ground. As Yuhaka opened her claws, Javelin and her group stepped out from Yuhaka's large claws.

Seeing that the missing Javelin and the others had returned, Bumblebee and the others breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Phew~ It's so good that nothing happened to you guys."

Then Bumblebee and the others saw Karyl and the others looking around with curiosity, and they asked Javelin and the others:

"Hmm? Who are these people?"

Regarding Bumblebee's question, Javelin explained some of the circumstances of their encounter with Karyl and the others. After hearing Javelin's brief explanation, Bumblebee scratched her head and said:

"Hmm...it sounds like things are a bit complicated. Tell me the details later, but how about we arrange things for those few first...uh..."

Seeing the combination of an elf, a catgirl, and two humans before him, Bumblebee seemed at a loss for words. Noticing Bumblebee's somewhat embarrassed expression, Javelin stepped forward to explain Karyl and the others' identities. After learning that Karyl and the others, like Yuhaka, were visitors from another world, Bumblebee understood. In any case, the fact that Karyl and the others were not their enemies was enough.
