The time-based admiral of KanColle

Under her complicated hair, Nagato slowly raised her pretty head and looked at Amagi and Mikasa who were kneeling in front of her, her pure golden eyes rippling.

Although his expression was still solemn, Nagato still showed a strong sense of joy. The black fox tail that Akagi despised as short curled up happily, and he smiled softly, "Welcome back, Mikasa-sama, Amagi."

"I am so honored. Nagato, you are now the flagship protecting the Sakura Empire. I, an old senior, should have retired long ago. Haha."

Looking at the divine demeanor of her own Sakura Empire, Mikasa saluted solemnly and said with a smile: "Finally, we can come back and protect Master Nagato!"

That's right, under the immersive adjustment of the fantasy, the collective setting of the Sakura Empire's ship girls has become a setting of returning triumphantly after completely eradicating the remaining Sirens in the world.

"Well, even though I usually have my sister around, I still miss you guys a lot."

Nagato, who felt like he hadn't seen his Sakura Empire companions for a long time, immediately smiled and said, "Seeing your smiles, I understand. This is the meaning of my guarding the sacred tree and shouldering the responsibility of the Sakura Empire!"

"As expected of you, Nagato."

Feeling the grand demeanor, Mikasa pondered for a moment, then suddenly said frankly: "But speaking of which, I have something important to ask of you, Nagato-sama."

"Hmm? You can talk as you like."

"That's...that's...ah?"

Mikasa, who was about to say something, was stunned on the spot for a moment. She touched her short chestnut hair in confusion, and quickly looked at Amagi who was sitting next to her. She vaguely felt that she and Amagi came to see Nagato for something important.

"Mikasa-sama is really forgetful. Isn't it our most important mission to come back and guard Nagato-sama?"

"Yes, that's right! Haha, it seems that if you live on a ship for a long time, you will forget things."

In response to Amagi's reminder, Mikasa smiled a little awkwardly.

However, Tiancheng's dark purple pupils suddenly showed a hint of sadness, but he also didn't know why.

"I am honored to have such loyal companions like you. Yamashiro, Fuso, go and get ready. I want to invite Lady Mikasa and Amagi to dine with me."

Gently shaking her gauze sleeves, Nagato gave the order in a dignified manner.

Located to the north of the Sakura sacred tree, the largest island, Renkijima, enshrines a blue-green gem as one of the tokens of the Sakura. According to legend, under the protection of Nagato, this gem can guard against floods and bless good weather.

At this moment, although the sun is setting, the residents of Renki Island are full of enthusiasm because they have received the oracle. Now, the Sakura Empire ship girls who are guarding them will return from today and take charge here!

"Yukikaze-sama! Yukikaze-sama!"

"Shigure-sama! Shigure-sama!"

"Lord Ayanami! Lord Ayanami!"

"Lord Yi19! Lord Yi19!"

……

With waves of orderly shouting, many strong men with bare chests and tied white hair carried a number of open-air high-rises and carried the Sakura Empire shipgirls who were responsible for guarding this place, and respectfully sent them to the Sakura Empire Takashiro Castle in the town.

Stay~~~

Under the inconspicuous tree on the top of the mountain, Baltimore and Cleveland, who were secretly observing the castle town, instantly revealed complicated expressions, and Washington, who was leaning against the tree trunk, curled his lips in disdain and said, "Is this some kind of cult gathering?"

"Haha, but there seem to be destroyers and submarines all over here, so that's useful information."

Cleveland watched from afar for a while and said with emotion: "If only the commander was here, he could go up and knock them all down one by one."

"I always feel a little guilty about relying on the commander's power to fight."

Baltimore, who adhered to the way of the messenger of justice, looked up at the red sky, then touched the back of his head and said, "Let's go back soon today. The commander should be waiting for our news."

"Indeed, with the commander here, there's no pressure at all. In fact, I also want to have a hearty fight with the other party. Ayanami with the mechanical ears on her head has a good look."

After muttering something, Cleveland clapped his hands and said, "However, the so-called Sakura Empire token is probably also placed in that castle. It feels like the game I played recently in Long Island."

"Have you been secretly playing video games lately?"

"I didn't play secretly. I just played with Columbia and the others."

Hearing Baltimore's curious question, Cleveland folded his hands and said with emotion: "And the commander also joined later. He almost reached a hundred levels in one day. Should I say that the commander is really idle?"

"It's not good to talk behind the commander's back. Let's go back. Maybe the commander is already working out a strategy with Enterprise and the others."

Baltimore quickly said, patting Cleveland's shoulder lightly.

At this moment, under the afterglow of the sunset and the dreamy sea view, Yaxu quickly fell asleep on the unicorn's knees.

The pure white dress covered the unicorn's soft legs. Yaxu was enjoying a rare royal nap without being suddenly awakened by difficulty breathing.

Because compared to the active and lively White Eagle and Donghuang, the Royal Family pays more attention to refined daily life.

However, every time Yaxu took a delicate nap, she had to struggle to wake up from Guanghui's chest. Fortunately, that would not happen here at Unicorn.

"Hehe, so my brother can act like a spoiled child, too?"

"Anyone will."

The unicorn, who was content to play the role of a little sister, patted Yaxu's head, and then asked in a low voice: "Although I am happy to help my brother, shouldn't we go back?"

"Indeed."

Yaxu had been thinking about the phantom alone, but couldn't figure it out. When he saw the dim sunset, he quickly stood up and said with a smile: "Then, let's go back."

Chapter 246 Loyal Ministers

Finally, after leading the unicorn back to the hot spring hotel, Yaxu quickly saw Qiye and the others sitting around a Japanese coffee table, seemingly discussing something.

"What's wrong?"

"Hmm? Are you back, Commander?"

After seeing Yaxu coming back, Enterprise, who was pointing at the map, immediately reminded him softly: "Cleveland and the others just went to that big island to take a look. It seems that there are destroyers and submarines guarding there."

"Is that so? Then we can only leave the submarine to Laffy and the others. Speaking of which...if we defeat them during the battle..."

"Don't worry, Commander. This is an exercise after all. Based on past experience, if the enemy is knocked down, they will be driven out of the exercise directly."

Knowing Yaxu's worries, Qiye's mouth curled up slightly and explained: "But if we fail, we will have to start all over again."

"Yeah."

Seeing this, Yaxu breathed a sigh of relief. After all, their purpose was not to beat the Sakura Empire. It was a pity that the Sakura Empire's ship girls could not help to rescue Nagato this time.

"Commander, Senior Enterprise and I found that this is a completely ordinary island town. There is no place to refuel."

Maintaining a military attitude, Essex immediately reported: "But I think the big island with the token should have it."

"So, since we have decided to start the war tomorrow, we are considering whether or not to issue a declaration of war, Commander."

"Ah? Declaration of war."

Looking in surprise at Cleveland, who was holding the back of his head with a bright smile on his face, Yaxu tilted his head in confusion.

"Come to think of it, Commander, in this peaceful world, I feel like we are the bad guys. Besides, the Sakura Empire's shipgirls all live in the Sakura Empire Castle, and we can't just fire directly at the island."

Speaking of this, Enterprise and the others also revealed a subtle expression. After all, even if this world is illusory, as ship girls, they are still firing at those innocent and friendly NPCs.

"Well, why don't we just stop time and take out the so-called Sakura Empire's keepsake?"

However, with the invincible time ability, in fact, many things are not a problem, so Yaxu immediately said that in fact, if they really try their best, they can go to all the islands in an instant.

"Commander, the manual says that the so-called Sakura Empire token is actually a kind of equipment, and the equipment on the ship girl cannot be robbed."

"Equipment?"

Hearing Enterprise's reminder, Yaxu also showed a subtle expression. Each ship girl can strengthen herself with her own equipment. Speaking of which, the effects of some equipment are very subtle.

For example, Juno, the destroyer girl of the White Eagle, has an equipment called Pearl Tears, which can repair the damage to the surrounding friendly forces to a great extent when she dies.

By the way, because this equipment was too unlucky, Yaxu ruthlessly confiscated it from the tearful Juno, and then hung it on the door of the eviction dormitory as a wind chime.

Equipment is an object attached to the ship's suit and cannot be separated from the ship unless the ship is removed by the ship herself or the ship sinks.

So, they still have some tactics in mind, and then they will duel with the Sakura Empire shipgirls in the open sea...

"Hmm, the food in Sakura is just so-so."

"Haha, I think the so-called miso soup has a unique flavor."

At this moment, after enjoying a Sakura-style dinner in the hotel's dining room, Elizabeth and Belfast returned to their room.

As for Javelin and Laffey who were going to come back earlier, they tried to try out the so-called hot springs of the Sakura Empire.

Naturally, after seeing Yaxu, Elizabeth immediately puffed up her little face, then silently walked behind Yaxu and poked Yaxu with the scepter.

Yaxu, who obviously noticed Elizabeth's temper, said in a flattering and joking tone, "Hmm? What's wrong, Your Majesty, the Elegant Queen?"

"Hmm."

Elizabeth, who couldn't stand being praised, narrowed her eyes happily when she heard this, but then she felt that it was not solemn enough, so she coughed twice deliberately, and then raised her staff and said proudly: "The king is going to bed, come to the bed and serve the king."

"Pfft! Ahem."

When Baltimore and the others who were drinking matcha heard the word "serve", their eyes widened instantly, but Enterprise understood Elizabeth's intention of using the inappropriate word.

For that silly white queen, the definition of service is that Yaxu reads her bedtime stories.

"Hmm, although it's just a simple berth without a high bed, I can still tolerate it."

"Yes Yes."

After quickly taking out the quilt in Belfast and spreading it in the side room, she and the war-weary Elizabeth, who had just finished taking a hot spring bath in the afternoon, contentedly lay in the soft bed. Although it was not as comfortable as her luxurious royal bed, the bedtime story was what Elizabeth looked forward to most compared to getting up.

And every time Yaxu told Shabai a bedtime story, in fact, the Queen's favorite was the one written by Yaxu himself.

"that……"

After sitting next to Elizabeth, Yaxu looked up at Belfast, who was sitting opposite him silently with a smile on his face, and said awkwardly, "Miss Belfast, do you want to hear my story too?"

"Well, since Her Majesty the Queen is so interested, as a maid, I have a lot to learn from her."

With a jokingly jealous tone, Belfast also revealed a curious expression and stared at Yaxu.

"Well, hurry up and continue telling me what you said last time."

"well."

Seeing Elizabeth patting the tatami with her expectant hand, Yaxu began to tell the story in a gentle voice: "Last time, the little Queen, as dazzling as the sun, a kind and noble flower, rescued the innocent villagers..."

In fact, telling a story to coax Elizabeth does not require any fancy techniques. In fact, simply using flattering words to embellish the silly girl will make her listen happily.

After quietly watching Yaxu lull Elizabeth to sleep with a simple fantasy story, Belfast praised softly at the right time: "It's a great story, Master."

"It's just some sweet words, isn't it? If you praise the queen often, she will be very happy."

Faced with Belfast's sincere praise, Yaxu waved his hands embarrassedly.

After hearing Yaxu's humble words, Belfast's mouth corners slowly rose, and then he stood up and respectfully bowed to Yaxu, then blinked meaningfully with his clear blue-purple eyes: "However, I think that rather than saying that flattery makes Her Majesty happy, it should be said that your praise is the real reason why the Queen is happy."

"This……"

Hearing Belfast's perfect and cool answer, Yaxu blushed slightly.

As a maid, Belfast always handles her master's troubles in the most appropriate way at all times.

And at the same time——

In the steaming hot indoor hot spring pool, the equally loyal Yan Zhan came quietly. With a towel on his head and his body buried in the pool, Javelin, with a flushed face, asked solemnly: "Javelin, please teach me about love."

"Huh? Huh!"

Chapter 247 White Eagle's Night Life

In the wooden bath, hot Sakura hot springs continued to flow out from the spring hole, and Javelin, who was leaning against the stone mountain indoors, was shocked by what War-weary said and his face turned red:

"It's hard, could it be that Lord War-weary has also fallen in love with the Commander!?"

"No, no, as a guardian knight, how dare I argue with Her Majesty the Queen? I'm just asking Her Majesty the Queen for tips on love!"

Facing Javelin's shocked expression, War-weary waved his hands with a blushing face, and then said seriously: "After all, Her Majesty the Queen has been muttering about these things recently. As a subject, I would like to ask someone who knows about it for advice on love skills on behalf of the Queen."

Ask for love tips from someone who knows the subject...

Hearing this, Javelin couldn't help but raise his neck, which had become rosy and white from soaking in the hot spring. He then took off the towel covering his head and smiled happily.

I never thought that she would become a love master one day.

With a little self-admiration, he recalled Atago-sensei's core method in his mind, and Javelin showed a little seriousness, raised his white finger and suggested: "If you want to improve the relationship, you really have to take the initiative! You have to be bold."

"Take the initiative? Her Majesty the Queen is quite proactive."

He buried his little body in the hot spring, in the thick steam, and sighed softly with emotion: "It's just that I don't feel that kind of atmosphere at all."
