I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

"What's going on with these wild chicks? Why are they...fighting?"

Looking at the seemingly playful scene before her with a puzzled expression, Javelin asked a question. Ayanami, who was standing nearby, also noticed something. She observed a significant difference between the fighting Barbarians in the distance. One group of Barbarians wore fine equipment and carried banners, while the other group was dressed like farmers, even using farming tools as weapons. This was why the farmer-like Barbarians were being overwhelmed.

"Hmm... if Ayanami is not mistaken, this might be a war between two factions, right? Those Manjuu carrying flags are probably ship girls sent by one of the factions."

Hearing Ayanami's words, everyone present seemed to understand something. Z23, after hearing Ayanami's words, also understood and said to the others:

"If what Ayanami said is true, then it means that those barbarian flag bearers might have been established by the missing ship girls, but—"

Then z23 looked at the barbarian farmers who were besieging them and continued:

"Now those barbarian chicks are being attacked by other barbarian chicks for some reason. What we need to do now is to stop the attackers. Then we should be able to figure out what's going on."

Upon hearing Z23's words, Yuhaka and the others nodded in agreement and quickly went to stop the fighting Manjuu. The fighting Manjuu were startled by the sudden appearance of Yuhaka and the others and immediately stopped attacking each other, staring at the suddenly appearing Yuhaka and the others.

Seeing that the Barbarians had stopped attacking, z23 also gave the following order:

"Alright, what's going on now? Why are you fighting?"

Regarding Z23's question, the two groups of Manju looked at each other with puzzled expressions. Then, the Manju carrying flags seemed to understand something and continued to pick up their weapons and charge towards Z23 and the others. Seeing the charging Manju, Z23 and the others were startled. After all, they did not expect the Manju to attack them.

However, Yuhaka reacted quickly. With a wave of his hand, a gust of wind blew the Manjuspiel away. The Manjuspiel that were blown away looked completely bewildered, obviously not expecting to be blown away by the wind.

Seeing the wild chicks being blown away, Z23 and the others realized what was happening. Z23 quickly drew the longsword from behind her and said to everyone:

"Watch out! Those barbarian chicks may have undergone some changes that we are unaware of!"

Soon, the Manju that had been blown away by Yuhaka got up by shaking their short arms and legs and charged towards Yuhaka and the others. This time, Javelin and the others did not hesitate to retaliate against the charging Manju. After all, Manju are impossible to kill no matter how they are hit, so Javelin and the others were not worried about causing any bad effects on the Manju.

Just as Javelin and the others had expected, when the Manjurchens were hit by Yuhaka and the others, it was as if they had hit soft jelly. The Manjurchens that were sent flying drew a beautiful arc in the air before crashing to the ground, bouncing a few times, and then their eyes spun around before they passed out. The other Manjurchens were no match for Yuhaka and the others either. Before long, the Manjurchens raised their little white flags to indicate that they had surrendered.

Volume 1 [Lazy to Divide into Chapters]: Chapter 1511 [The Barbarians: Nothing is more important than eating]

After the well-equipped Manjuu surrendered, Yuhaka and the others were completely bewildered. Why would those Manjuu suddenly attack them? This was something that Z23 and the others couldn't understand. As the ship girls' capable assistants, the Manjuu were basically absolutely loyal to them. Not only that, the Manjuu were also very obedient to the ship girls' various orders, making them excellent tools!

However, if you exploit those Manju too much, they will get angry. Previously, Akashi exploited the Manju too much, which led to the Manju protesting and going on strike, forcing that unscrupulous cat to compromise. After all, if there were no Manju to work for Akashi, most of the things in Akashi's factory would have to stop.

Looking at the captured Manju, Z23 seemed completely bewildered and said:

"What exactly is going on? I have absolutely no idea..."

Regarding Z23's question, everyone was confused about what was going on, since it was the first time they had encountered such a situation. However, someone quickly provided an answer for them. Well... it's more like a chicken than a person.

As a Manju with a white beard and a cane walked over, Z23 and the others were drawn to him. Following his words, they understood what had happened. According to the old-man-like Manju, the Manju that attacked them were sent by the ship girls to recruit them as subordinates and to take their farmland.

Hearing what the barbarian said, Z23 and the others were quite surprised. It was actually barbarian sent by other ship girls to attack those barbarian. This made Z23 and the others very puzzled. After all, as mentioned before, barbarian were always obedient to the orders of ship girls and would basically never refuse. So why would other ship girls use this method to recruit those barbarian?

Z23 and the others looked puzzled as they thought about these things, but after Manju explained, they understood the current situation in the mirror space. According to Manju, the ship girls are now divided into several factions.

Upon hearing what Banju said, Ayanami and Mutsu, who were standing nearby, spoke up with sparkling eyes:

"Oh my god! Isn't this the Sakura Empire and the Sengoku period?!"

Seeing the two looking so surprised, Z23 was also taken aback and, clearly not understanding what was going on, asked Javelin beside him:

"Um, Javelin, what's going on with Ayanami and the others?"

Javelin looked embarrassed and scratched his head as he explained to Z23:

"Haha...Ayanami and the others are probably talking about a strategy game, since the current situation does seem a bit similar...But why are Nagato and the others separated? Shouldn't they be talking as a group?"

Upon hearing Javelin's question, the horrible one, looking at Javelin and Z23, explained:

"It's quite possible that they're being controlled. Back in the last mirror space, weren't we all controlled by the Sirens?"

The terrifying words reminded Javelin of what had happened before. Indeed, just as the terrifying said, the Sirens had the technology to control them, so controlling other ship girls wouldn't be difficult. But the question was, why were the ship girls divided into several factions?

Z23 and the others were also puzzled by this question. Logically speaking, shouldn't the controlled ship girls all belong to the same faction? Why did they split up, and more importantly, split into several factions? This made Z23 and the others a little confused about what the Sirens were up to.

"No matter what, let's go ask those Manju that attacked Manju over there. They might know some important information."

Hearing Z23's words, everyone nodded in agreement, looking regretful. Then, when Z23 and the others came to their senses, they saw a group of Manjuu lining up to receive food from Yuhaka. Javelin and the others were dumbfounded when they saw this.

"There's enough for everyone, OwO~ Don't worry~"

As she spoke, Yuhaka handed a plate full of curry to a Manjuu, saying this. Seeing this, Javelin and the others looked at Yuhaka with puzzled expressions and asked:

"Yuyu-chan, what are you doing...?"

When Javelin and the others asked their question, Yuhaka looked at them with an "OwO?" expression, as if he didn't understand what they were talking about. Isn't it obvious? Of course they're cooking and sharing the delicious food with everyone.

"It's lunchtime!"

Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, the ship girls present couldn't help but show slightly embarrassed expressions, clearly not expecting this reason. However, although it was supposed to be a meal, why did those Manjuu carrying flags also join in?

Weren't you guys just fighting? How come you're eating together now?

This made Z23 and the others feel ashamed. However, Z23 and the others were also a little hungry, so they decided to eat something first. While eating, Z23 took the opportunity to approach the Manju and the others who were eating and asked them some questions.

"So, you were ordered by those ship girls to attack them?"

Upon hearing Z23's words, the Manjuu, who were engrossed in eating their curry rice, looked up at Z23. After exchanging glances, they revealed their leader. From the Manjuu, Z23 learned that their leader was none other than the missing Sakura Empire ship girls, Yuudachi, Shigure, and Yukikaze. Hearing this, Z23 was at a loss for words. However, Z23 then inquired of the Manjuu whether Yuudachi and the other two had sent them to attack this area simply to recruit other Manjuu and claim this land.

In response to z23's question, the Manju nodded in agreement. After seeing the Manju's answer, z23 asked the Manju why Yuudachi and the others didn't come to recruit these Manju themselves.

"Regarding this question, of course they're portrayed as enemies!"

Upon hearing the unfamiliar voice, Z23 and the others quickly looked in the direction of the sound, and there they saw the Observer standing there, smiling at them, of course, through a projection.

Volume 1 [Lazy to Divide into Chapters]: Chapter 1512 [Restrictions? None! OwO~]

Upon seeing the sudden appearance of the observers, everyone present instinctively drew their weapons. After all, the Sirens were still enemies, so no one dared to let their guard down.

Seeing everyone's wary expressions, the observer was naturally quite satisfied. However, when he saw that Yuhaka was eating without looking at him, the observer felt his lips twitch involuntarily. Even though he was just a projection, he was still their enemy. Shouldn't he at least show her some respect?

Although Yuhaka was eating her curry rice with a nonchalant expression, Z23 and the others didn't seem to let their guard down. Z23, holding a longsword and a small round shield on her arm, looked at the observer not far away and said:

"Observer, what tricks are you playing...?"

Upon hearing Z23's words, the observer shifted his attention from Eyjafjalla to Z23 and chuckled, saying:

"Hehehe, cute little guy, I didn't do anything funny. What I did was just an experiment."

"The experiment... was it really like this...?"

After hearing the observer's words, z23 couldn't help but feel that the other party's actions were similar to what they had thought. Sure enough, it was still an experimental location, but z23 didn't know what kind of experiment it was. z23 also wanted to see if she could get some information out of the other party.

"That's right, it's for the sake of the experiment. The last experiment was disrupted by the Sea Fog Fleet, which forced me to continue my experiments elsewhere..."

Upon hearing the other party's words, Z23 looked at them and tried to speak:

"What exactly did you do to our comrades?!"

Upon hearing Z23's question, the observer couldn't help but smile and say:

"Do you think I'm telling you all this important information? If you want to know, try completing my experiment and you'll find out."

Seeing that there was no way to get detailed information from the Observer, z23 couldn't help but feel very sorry. However, z23 also felt that it was quite normal. After all, the shrewd Observer was not like the Purifier, who seemed a bit silly and could easily extract any information. This made z23 wonder why the Purifier was not in charge of this experiment.

The observer was naturally unaware of Z23's thoughts, but judging from her gaze, she seemed to sense that Z23 had tried to extract some information from her but hadn't found anything. Seeing this, the observer couldn't help but think of something and said to Z23 and the others:

"If you're thinking of rescuing all your companions, I think it would be better if you gave up."

Upon hearing the observer's reminder, Z23 immediately frowned and looked at the other party, saying:

"Observer, what do you mean? What are you trying to say?!"

In response to Z23's question, the observer looked at Z23 and chuckled, saying:

"Hehehe, of course you can't possibly rescue all the ship girls from the mirror space at once. If you don't rescue your comrades according to my rules, then the entire mirror space, which is the ground beneath your feet, will explode~"

Upon hearing the news that the entire underground of the mirror space would explode, Z23 and the others were so frightened that they took a few steps back and looked at the ground beneath their feet. Clearly, they hadn't expected the ground beneath their feet to explode.

It may sound unbelievable, but who knows if it's not true?

After quickly regaining her composure, Z23 looked at the observer with a slightly serious expression and said:

"What rules?"

Seeing Z23's sensible attitude, the observer was naturally in a better mood and said to Z23 and the others:

"The rules are simple, just like in a strategy game: develop your forces, expand your territory, and then challenge other ship girls!"

Upon hearing the Observer's rules, Z23 couldn't help but think of what Ayanami and Mutsu had said before. Could it be that the Observer had transformed this mirror space into something like a game, so that they could experiment with something?

Z23 also had doubts about this, but at this moment, the observer pointed to Yhwach and said:

"By the way, that child can't use his full strength, otherwise it would be breaking the rules."

"OwO?"

Yuhaka, who was suddenly called upon, looked at the observer with a bewildered expression, clearly not expecting to be chosen. Yuhaka pointed to himself and said:

"Youyou can't go all out? Why is that?"

Hearing Yuhaka's question, the observer looked at him with a speechless expression and said:

"You little rascal, you made a mess of my mirror space last time, and it took me a long time to clean up the mess. It was also because of this that the Sea Fog Fleet noticed my experimental field, forcing me to move important data away."

After hearing the observer's words, Yuhaka blinked, tilted his head, and looked at the observer, saying:

"Then, I'm sorry, OwO?"

Why is it a question sentence?

Upon hearing Yhaka's apology, the Observer was speechless, unsure of what to say. However, regardless, the Observer restricted Yhaka's use of large-scale destructive techniques, as well as prohibiting him from flying, teleporting, his strange abilities, and his weapons.

To put it bluntly, all you can do is use simple swordsmanship.

However, Ehaka didn't really protest. After all, these restrictions didn't really bother him. The strongest weapon of the Primal Zerg was his own body. Don't forget that Ehaka had also learned the Void Sword Qi from Chi Yuan and Ji Lin, so using fist techniques was no problem for him. Of course, the Observer didn't forbid Ehaka from using weapons, but they had to be products of this mirror space.

To be honest, Z23 and the others almost burst out laughing when they heard about the restrictions imposed by the observers. Of course, they showed it, otherwise the observers would have found that their actions were basically useless, since Yuhaka's physical abilities were what they were, and he wouldn't have to worry about the restrictions.

Seeing Z23 and the others looking patient (not smiling), the observer assumed that his restrictions on Yuhaka had angered the ship girls, which made the observer smile with pleasure. Of course, the observer only realized afterward that he had been tricked.

Volume 1 [Lazy Chapters]: Chapter 1513 [A Sengoku Game Starting from Zero]

After the observers left, Javelin and the others relaxed their guard slightly. Ayanami and the others looked at Z23 standing to the side and couldn't help but say:

"Z23, what should we do now?"

After a moment's thought, z23 answered the questions posed by the crowd:

"Given the current situation, we can only do what they say. If we violate their rules, they might do something unexpected, perhaps even threatening us with Nagato and the others..."

Upon hearing Z23's words, the ship girls present seemed to become slightly unhappy. After all, being used as a guinea pig in experiments was infuriating just to think about, let alone the fact that the person was their enemy, the Sirens.

Seeing that everyone seemed a bit down, Yuhaka, who was eating, mistakenly thought it was because of the restrictions he was under and became unhappy, so he said to everyone:
