The time-based admiral of KanColle

"If you don't mind, please come to our house!"

"How can you let the ship girl come to your shabby house? You have to let the ship girl go to the hotel!"

"My master runs an inn, so please come and stay with us for a while, let us admire the glory of the ship girl! Bless us with safety!"

In an instant, without any hesitation, passers-by warmly invited the company.

It seems that this is a simple world.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Yaxu's mouth curled up slightly, and he also had a certain understanding of Nagato's character, whom he had never met.

Chapter 241 Nagato's Ideal World

With the help of the enthusiastic crowds who worship KanColle, Enterprise and her companions, who did not know the way, soon arrived at a hot spring hotel with a sea view amidst the welcome of the crowds.

The exquisite oak floor is very smooth and neat. In the center of the spacious main room is an exquisite Japanese coffee table. On both sides of the coffee table are many cloth seats for kneeling, and on the coffee table are exquisite local snacks.

"I am so touched to have the honor of entertaining the Kanmusu-sama!"

The respectful and excited boss hurriedly opened the door, and then continued to look at the speechless employees with admiration.

"Hmm, I will just stay here for a while."

Faced with the admiration of the ship girls by everyone along the way, unlike the embarrassed and ashamed Javelin and the others, Elizabeth was enjoying the admiration of others with pride.

"I am so humbled. Please take a good rest. If you need anything, please let us know!"

Admiring but not fanatical, enthusiastic and polite, the boss in a white shirt immediately bowed to express his gratitude and then left.

From what I understand from that phantom, is this the relationship between humans and shipgirls that Nagato idealizes? It's surprisingly easy to understand.

Carrying the gifts offered by passers-by along the way, Yaxu, who was regarded as a servant by them, quickly put all the things on the short Japanese coffee table, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "This is much more convenient."

"Wow, Commander, why is there no bed in this big room?"

Cleveland opened the sliding door of the side room and looked at the clean glutinous yellow tatami room inside and asked in confusion.

"The Sakura Empire usually sleeps on the floor, but here we have loose yukatas."

After explaining with a smile, Yaxu skillfully picked up the clean bathrobe folded there and put it on.

"Um, Commander? Shouldn't we get going quickly?"

Seeing Yaxu's leisurely appearance, Essex, who had been on guard all the time, asked in a puzzled voice: "Shouldn't we quickly find the flagship of the Sakura Empire?"

"Relax, Miss Essex. If the master does this, then there must be a reason, right?"

She smiled softly and patted Essex, Belfast lifted her skirt slightly, and then went about her business of tidying up the things on the coffee table.

"Hmm! Explain it to me quickly."

With her nose turned up, Elizabeth tapped Yaxu with her scepter. Yaxu pondered for a moment, smiled bitterly, took out the strategy manual that the shadow gave him, and then handed it to Enterprise.

"This is?"

After taking it instinctively, Enterprise looked at the thing in his hand that looked like a travel guide, then slowly opened it. The first thing that caught his eye was a map.

"Everyone……"

After a quick inspection, Enterprise quickly spread it out, and Belfast and the others moved over.

Limply raising her head, the short Elizabeth could only shout in dissatisfaction: "Put it down a little, the king wants to see it too!"

"Lafei, don't sleep, there is something important!"

"Zzz—"

Javelin, who had been taking care of the confused Rafi, was busy shaking Rafi, while at the same time comforting the tearful Unicorn who was shyly looking at the unfamiliar environment around him because there was no Guanghui to accompany him.

Seeing that Laffite and Unicorn were leaning towards Javelin in tacit understanding, York smiled and gave Javelin a thumbs up, then said bluntly: "Well, Javelin, this is fate!"

"Haha, Javelin, you are really popular."

Wen smiled and touched Javelin's head. Seeing this, Yaxu helped to pick up Rafi who was hanging on Javelin's arm, and Rafi instinctively turned and hung on Yaxu's waist, like a koala.

"Hey, thank you, Commander."

After seeing Yaxu helping him out, Javelin turned around and happily hugged Yaxu's waist and rubbed it.

"Commander? Where did this thing come from?"

Soon, after reading the thin booklet, Baltimore's yellow-green eyes flashed twice, and he looked at Yaxu curiously and asked.

"It's a long story."

Facing Baltimore's questioning, Yaxu could only smile helplessly and said, "Compared to this, everyone understands the current situation."

Recalling the overly detailed pamphlet he had just read, Baltimore sat cross-legged under the cushion with emotion, and then said, "Ah... I didn't expect things to turn out like this."

In addition to the map, the booklet also contains a detailed account of the causes and consequences.

As mentioned before, this is Nagato's ideal world, and the illusion is perfectly simulated.

Here, under the leadership of the great Lord Nagato, the Sakura Empire not only completely defeated and annihilated the Sirens, but also protected humans and became their belief. As for the ship girls from other camps, in Nagato's imagination, they also relied on the Sakura Empire with all their might.

Finally, the noble Son of God looked at the peaceful and friendly world, and stayed contentedly on the Sakura Empire Sacred Tree standing on the sea, while the Sakura Empire ship girls were tasked with protecting Nagato.

Well, after all, the illusion was designed for practice, so the purpose of the changed illusion was still to reach the sacred tree of the Sakura Empire, but the process was completely changed.

In order to reach the sacred tree, one must collect five tokens of the Sakura Empire. These tokens are located on the largest islands in the five directions around the sacred tree, and the Sakura Empire's ship girls are protecting those tokens.

And Yaxu is currently staying in an island town. It seems that the capacity of the illusion is limited. Although it has expanded a lot, it can only simulate a large number of islands, not the entire continent.

Also, because Nagato seemed to have never been to the modern cities in the outside world, the entire fantasy city has become the ancient style of the Sakura Empire.

……

In many ways, these are just like the innocent fantasies of a little girl. The people admire her kindly, her companions in the Heavy Sakura Empire respect and protect her, and she, Nagato, continues to bear the fate of the entire Heavy Sakura Empire.

"What!? Why would my royal family bow down to the Sakura Empire? Where's my dignity? I want to challenge Warspite and Nagato to a one-on-one duel!"

"Calm down, Your Majesty."

Seeing that Elizabeth was about to be asked to beat someone up again, War-weary, who was guarding outside the door with Washington just in case, heard it and hurried in to comfort the furious Elizabeth.

"We, the White Eagles, are also praying for the Sakura Empire every day and submitting to its light? This is really..."

Similarly, facing such a world, Essex also felt a little delicate.

"Haha, it's an ideal situation after all. From Nagato's perspective, it's normal, isn't it? But after all, it's just imagination. There are no ship girls in this world other than Nagato and her sister Mutsu. It's just a setting."

Seeing everyone's frustrated expressions, Yaxu couldn't help but chuckle twice, then looked out the window at the sea view. Between heaven and earth, a huge cherry-pink tree could be vaguely seen in the far distance of the coastline. Was that the so-called sacred cherry tree? How big was that cherry tree?

However, judging from the scale of the map, he might not be able to reach there in a short time...

So, let’s eat some yokan to calm down first. By the way, can he still bring the ship girls on a trip here?

Chapter 242: The Raiders Begin, Separate Actions

"Well, this dress is really loose."

After realizing that it was useless to worry in the short term, Cleveland followed Yaxu's example and changed into a new dark blue yukata specially provided by the hotel. Then he turned around elegantly and looked at Yaxu who was sitting in front of the cushion and opening the yokan to eat.

"Commander, I plan to go take a look around and go to the beach to confirm the authenticity of the map."

With a sunny smile, Cleveland gave Yaxu a thumbs up and said, "Want to go together?"

"Going to the beach? Indeed, we have to confirm the authenticity of the map just in case."

Savoring the sweet and greasy yokan with brown sugar flavor on the coffee table, Yaxu glanced at the map and nodded in agreement.

"Eh!? Commander, are you going out? Then, we need the javelin too!"

Following Yaxu's example, he tasted the soft and sticky yokan. Seeing that Yaxu seemed to be about to leave, Javelin immediately volunteered to raise his hand.

But actually, Javelin would rather go for a walk alone with the Commander... then under the sunset, and then... it would be even better if we could hug each other.

A girl's shyness flashed across her face, and Javelin thought secretly.

"Hmm? My servants should follow me to fight in person. I want to teach the Sakura Empire a lesson."

Elizabeth, who had been brooding over the setting of this illusion, tugged at Yaxu's collar, angrily adjusted the small crown on her golden hair, and then pointed at the map on the coffee table and muttered.

"Commander, Lafite... wants to drink red wine, otherwise~~Lafite will lose energy."

Lafite, who originally wanted to take out the red wine he always stored from his ship's space, found at this time that he could not open his ship's space, so he could only hang on Yaxu's back and seek help.

After all, for Lafite, a life without red wine is an incomplete life.

The reason why the ship's space cannot be opened is very simple. This kind of illusion is like a collective immersive and entangled dream, and what can be simulated is ultimately limited.

"Red wine? I don't think there's any here."

Looking at Lafite's watery wine-red eyes, Yaxu also showed an embarrassment, because the current illusions were all based on Nagato, and as for Nagato of Sakura Empire, Yaxu felt that she probably didn't drink much red wine, or was not interested in it, so this kind of thing would not appear in this world.

Stay~~~

In an instant, Rafi's eyes seemed to lose their luster and the world turned gray.

"Haha, you are worthy of being the commander. You are so popular."

Seeing everyone going to Yaxu whenever they had a problem, Baltimore couldn't help but pat his thigh and smiled.

Similarly, looking at the little guys leaning towards Yaxu, Belfast raised the corners of her mouth slightly, lifted her skirt and reminded them: "I just saw that there is a so-called izakaya in the nearby area. Although there may not be red wine, there should be fruit wine and sake. Let me help Miss Lafite get some."

Although it is a bit sad to say this, even if they don't have the money here, they will definitely be generous compared to those people and give it to them.

"Hehe, it seems like we are here for a trip. Although there is no point in getting anxious, we still have to think about how to get to Nagato."

Seeing everyone relaxed, Yaxu smiled and looked at the map, then said softly, "According to the rules of the exercise, it seems that we must collect the five tokens of the Sakura Empire before we can go to the huge cherry tree."

"And our location seems to be to the north of the sacred tree, and the large island where the Sakura Empire's token is placed is not far from here."

"After going through all kinds of trials, and then reaching the other side of victory, this is the test of strength!"

York, who was a middle school student, listened to this role-playing game and immediately raised his hand to make a victory sign with great interest, and then shouted: "Let's get going quickly!"

"But...it's getting late, and we're not familiar with the terrain yet. Besides, we have to find a place to resupply oil, otherwise our ship equipment won't last long."

The rational Essex quickly began to describe the current situation. By the way, she and Enterprise had sent their respective eagles to visit all the nearby buildings, but based on the shared vision, she did not find any place with supplies.

You know, based on previous exercise experience, there were fixed supply points along the way, but now it has suddenly become an open exercise, and the supply issue has suddenly become a problem.

"Let's split up. Essex and I will go find a place to get supplies. Cleveland, you go with Baltimore and Washington to confirm the nearby terrain. If you have enough time, go to other islands to find out more about the Sakura Empire ship girls."

Enterprise, who had been looking out at the sea with deep purple eyes filled with calmness and rationality, stroked his silver hair silently and gave orders: "If there is an unexpected situation, just fire into the sky and make a loud noise. The commander will take care of it."

"Hey, this is really a corporate-style command. Then let's act cleanly and efficiently!"

With a straightforward and rude smile, Washington listened to Enterprise's calm and efficient command, then winked at Baltimore and Cleveland, and then stood up and left the room at the same time with a tacit understanding between the White Eagles.

"The White Eagles are really reliable. I will take Miss Lafite to the pub to have a look."

After noticing that the White Eagles each showed their own style of doing things, Belfast pursed his lips, bowed slightly and smiled, then he followed Rafi, who looked like a frustrated sculpture, out.

"Your Majesty, we also..."

Seeing everyone taking action, War-weary couldn't help but want to do something, and then looked at Elizabeth.

"Hehe, the military exploits are for the ministers to do, and I just need to wait here."

Elizabeth had a smug smile on her face, showing her happy little fangs, and gave a silly answer. Then she began to curiously open a pile of gifts from people on the coffee table. Although she said that she was not interested in things from the Sakura Empire, in fact, Elizabeth was still quite curious about the specialties of other camps.

Seeing this, War-weariness, whose job was to protect Queen Elizabeth, sighed softly, then knelt down to accompany Elizabeth.

Eh? Everyone, are you busy? Then...then I can go on a date alone with the Commander! ?

Seeing the scene in front of her, Javelin happily tidied her hair, adjusted her skirt, straightened the wrinkles of the white over-the-knee socks wrapped around her legs, and then patted her little face.

"Javelin! We, the Royal Navy, can't lose to the White Eagles! A brave man's journey doesn't mean standing still. Let's go find a place where we can get supplies!"

Just as the javelin was ready, York suddenly grabbed the javelin's arm excitedly, and then hurriedly pulled the javelin out.

"Eh!? But...wait, York...woo."

Before the poor javelin could even extend an invitation for a date, York gleefully dragged it away.

What an efficient and organized job, everyone.

Seeing everyone doing their jobs, Yaxu couldn't help but smile slightly, and then he suddenly noticed the unicorn who was secretly sitting in the corner of the room holding a stuffed doll.

In an instant, their eyes met. After realizing that Yaxu was looking at him, the unicorn's clear lavender eyes were instantly covered with mist, and then he shyly buried his face behind the puppet and asked softly, "Commander...Did Unicorn do anything bad?"

Chapter 243 The Foolish White Who Can't Reach the Reach

Humph, only fools would do serious work. As a noble king, it is enough for me to just stay here and enjoy the contributions of my subordinates. Moreover, as a noble and elegant management, I should do more meaningful things at this time.

Elizabeth hummed softly, proudly raising her snow-white neck, and with a smug smile showing her tiger teeth, she turned around and stretched out her hand in a reserved manner, saying with a smile: "Well, my servant, my personal guard, my prince, and my butler, now is the time for you to please me, come and accompany me... well?"
