The time-based admiral of KanColle

After hearing Beifeng's reminder, Kako and Furutaka, who were usually responsible for guarding and serving Mikasa, nodded hurriedly and followed.

Looking at everyone leaving, and seeing that there were finally no other ship girls around Mikasa's collection room, Beifeng let out a long sigh.

"Gu, gu!"

"Well, anyway, now I can finally have some alone time with Lady Mikasa. Please, Atago, take care of her."

Hearing the reminder from the uniformed pigeon, Bei Feng lifted up his blue and white long sleeves, held his chest and whispered: "I'm sorry, Lord Tiancheng, my intuition tells me that I cannot agree with your plan."

As the summoned ship of the Sakura Empire, Hiei is very popular and often comes to accompany Mikasa to make ship models. Kitakaze also took this opportunity to reasonably bypass Myoko and the others and come over.

After all, she didn't have much contact with Lady Mikasa, and if she came alone, it would be too easy for Lord Amagi to notice that something was wrong.

Know it——

After pushing open the heavy wooden door of Mikasa's room, which was full of Meiji style, the first thing that caught the eye was a large and neatly arranged display cabinet of wooden ship models. Because there was no suitable material, Mikasa could only use a knife to make the parts herself.

"Eh? North Wind?"

"Um, Lady Mikasa, Beifeng has something important to tell you."

"Goo!"

Chapter 268 Sakura Kindergarten

Sakura Empire~ is really awesome.

The atrium is a large open space surrounded by a circle. There is also a sky garden with the characteristics of Japanese cherry blossoms. When Yaxu looked up at the shade of the interesting potted pine trees above his head, he couldn't help but feel much happier.

Although when he went to find Amagi in the morning, the other party told him that Atago and Taihou were on other islands and had not come yet, so he should wait for a while.

Moreover, Amagi and the others seemed to feel guilty about leaving him here. Starting early in the morning, they had a banquet-level one-person feast. Yamashiro and Fuso thoughtfully cooked warm wine, and Amagi was even more concerned about him. Surrounded by the Sakura Empire's ship girls, he spent the morning in a daze.

However, rather than being apologetic and grateful, Yaxu felt that they were more likely to try to please him?

Why try to please him? Are they afraid that he will harm the Sakura Empire? After all, he is the commander of the Royal, White Eagle, and Eastern Glory, and his philosophy is very different from that of the Sakura Empire. In the history of KanColle, they are even rivals.

However, whether it is the idea of ​​efficiency first or the idea of ​​benevolence, as an adult, Yaxu is no longer at the age where he has to distinguish right from wrong in everything.

In short, Yaxu, who felt a little embarrassed to be surrounded by Amagi and the others, finally chose to come out and play with the little ship girl.

"Humph, see? This is my new subordinate!"

Because of the spacious garden in the courtyard, it is also a place where the little ship girls of Sakura Empire often come to play. And today, with the proud introduction of Akagi, Yaxu saw the legendary Sakura Empire kindergarten.

"Hand...under? That's hard to pronounce, but would you like some candy? Mutsuki will treat you."

With an innocent expression, the little ship girl named Mutsuki held a lollipop in her mouth and looked at Yaxu curiously. She was wearing a blue robe with a plaid skirt. Her little girl figure, brown cat ears and tail made her look very childish.

"Hello, I'm Ruyue... Uh, uh, Ruyue is not delicious, please don't eat me..."

The one cowering behind Mu Yue was little Ru Yue, whom Ya Xu had poked with a wooden stick. Although after the reset, she could no longer remember what Ya Xu had done to her, she still looked timid.

There are also tiny cat ears on the long pink hair, and under the cute little yellow hat are adorable lavender eyes, and even the white silk over-the-knee socks are so small.

"Wow, it's really a human... sir!"

"Xiao Chicheng, have you subdued the human... sir as your subordinate? That's awesome."

"Oh, I want to eat Taiyaki."

In an instant, surrounding the arrogant little Akagi, Uzuki, Mizunotsuki, Mikazuki and a bunch of other little guys happily echoed.

It's awesome~~~

Looking at these little ship girls who have already dropped below the lower limit of elementary school students and can go directly to kindergarten if they carry a red schoolbag, Yaxu sighed sincerely that the world of little ship girls is indeed pure and beautiful.

As if he had found a rare group of subordinates under his command, Xiao Chicheng proudly swung his sleeves up and down, patted Yaxu's thigh to show off, and ordered: "Hehe, subordinates, show them your skills."

Haha, does Akagi's childhood form also have the so-called competitive spirit? I'll use this to make fun of her later~

Obeying Xiao Akagi's words attentively, Yaxu silently used his abilities to perform various common magic tricks, although he used his own techniques.

"Okay, so awesome~"

"Wow, yes, it's Taiyaki."

"Oh oh oh~~"

After watching Yaxu pop out all kinds of Sakura desserts from his palms like magic, Mutsuki and the others immediately gathered around him, chattering in baby voices.

"Don't worry, I won't eat Kisaragi's either. Mutsuki, there's a starry sky lollipop in the Royal Family. I'll treat you to one when the time comes."

Yaxu was worried that all the rare snacks in his pocket were gone because of the illusion. But when he heard the unclear voices of babies around him, his heart felt purified.

"Humph."

However, when the originally proud little Akagi saw Mutsuki and the others wagging their tails and circling around Yaxu, the corners of his mouth gradually sank, and soon, his fair and tender cheeks began to swell.

“Mmmm, he’s obviously my subordinate, stop circling around him… He’s obviously my subordinate… He’s obviously just my subordinate…”

Pouting and muttering to himself, little Akagi jumped onto Yaxu's back in his wooden clogs and covered Yaxu's eyes with his tail as if sulking.

This kid...really looks like Akagi.

Looking at this familiar operation, Yaxu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

at the same time--

"Well, it seems that there is no problem, but you should know, Master Amagi, that it won't be delayed for long."

Sitting on the terrace, looking at the courtyard, Shentong sighed and took out a fan, half covering his face: "But speaking of which, the human's personality is unexpectedly special."

"Well, even though we treated him well under the pretext of gratitude and apology, he still seemed uncomfortable with being surrounded by people, and he also intentionally kept his distance from us."

Thinking of the other party's reaction when he poured wine for Yaxu, Tiancheng couldn't help but sigh: "If the other party is a profit-seeking person, it would be much easier to deal with."

"After all, he is the commander of White Eagle and the others, so at least he is not a mediocre person."

The magical power who was also watching Jian with Tiancheng suddenly pretended to mention it casually: "Speaking of which, for the human body, covering the mouth with a large amount of ether can make it unconscious."

"You saw it yesterday, didn't you? Even though hot wine suddenly spilled behind him, Lord Yaxu quickly stopped it with his back to it. From the outside, we can't really tell whether he has maintained his ability or whether there is an opportunity to take advantage of it..."

"Huh? But last night, I saw Akagi and the others knock him out with just one blow of their tail and carry him away."

"..."

Tian Cheng raised his eyebrows frivolously and couldn't help but mutter to himself: "So-called differential treatment? If so, then we have to think carefully about what should be put on the scale."

"What scale?"

"Ok?"

Hearing that familiar resolute voice, Amagi turned around and saw that Mikasa, dressed in a white robe and a navy admiral uniform, was standing outside the door with a frown on her face, while the petite Beifeng followed beside her, lowered her head and whispered, "I'm sorry, Lord Amagi."

Seeing the two people in front of him, the intelligent Tiancheng understood the situation in an instant.

"Really? This is really bad news, Beifeng...if this is your intuition."

Seeing Beifeng lowering his head in apology, Tiancheng couldn't help but sigh. Beifeng's intuition, to her, was more than just the weather forecast before she went out every day.

Being rigorous, serious and abiding by the rules is the most basic Meiji style. As one of the old antiques, Mikasa, who has different ideas from Amagi and the others, does not want to see anyone immersed in fantasy.

As if expressing regret for her junior, Mikasa clenched her fist and placed it on her chest, and said softly: "Explain it to me, Amagi."

Chapter 269: Nagato's Shadow

Seeing the suddenly tense atmosphere and Mikasa's puzzled face, Shentong immediately showed a worried look and whispered: "Lord Amagi, we..."

"Shentong, please go out for a while."

"Yes."

Facing Mikasa's resolute amber eyes, Amagi sighed softly, shook his sleeves lightly, stood up and looked at Mikasa and Beifeng, and after hesitating for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Mikasa, come with me, Beifeng too."

Soon, Amagi led Mikasa and Kitakaze, who each had their own doubts, silently to the room connected to the main hall, which was Nagato's bedroom.

"Lord Amagi?"

Under the castle tower, Fuso and Yamashiro, the shrine maidens who were usually responsible for carrying out Nagato's orders, saw Amagi coming with Mikasa, looked at each other, then bit their lower lips and retreated tactfully.

"Amagi, you should know that as the Sakura Empire, we must never stop moving forward! What's the point of retreating to this illusory fantasy, even if the whole world succumbs to the Sakura Empire!"

Under the old senior's teaching, Mikasa, who had heard a lot from Beifeng, frowned and said in a deep voice: "The tycoon should follow the right path, which is the way of heaven. The right path is the way forward for a commander. Detaining Lord Yaxu is also against the rules..."

"Mikasa-sama, all of this is my own decision. If you want to be held accountable, just come to me. But I hope you will think about it carefully after seeing the condition of Nagato-sama."

Hearing Mikasa's exhortation behind him, Amagi gently shook his fox ears, his expression did not waver in the slightest, but instead a layer of pitiful sadness covered his brows.

Boom!

Finally, after reaching the roof of the castle tower, Amagi bowed and knocked on the door, asking for permission, as it was Nagato's bedroom: "Nagato-sama, Mikasa-sama is here to visit you."

Ping ping~dong dong~

After a hurried noise inside, Amagi, who had been waiting for a while, also heard Nagato's joyful voice inside: "Well, well, come in quickly."

"Well, I'm sorry."

After hearing Nagato's promise, Amagi and Mikasa took off their wooden clogs and pushed the door open and walked into Nagato's usual bedroom.

Nagato's bedroom did not display the noble luxury of the royal family. Its simple interior style was mostly filled with elegant indoor bonsai and the unique blessing decorations of the Sakura Empire.

Following the folding screen with paintings on it, Amagi and the others slowly stepped into the neat interior. It was obvious that in order to set an example and serve as a flagship, Nagato had deliberately tidied himself up.

After all, Nagato has always hoped that he could be regarded as a flagship in the eyes of his subjects in the Sakura Empire.

At this moment, the petite Nagato had already been kneeling on the seat neatly, with her long black hair, which was covered with a fox mask, hanging down gently. She was wearing a red short skirt with a white gauze over it. A huge white fox was lying horizontally on the tatami, serving as Nagato's cushion.

"Ahem, welcome, Senior Mikasa and Amagi, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Nagato spoke slowly, trying to exude authority through his words and actions, but due to his childish voice, he still lacked authority.

However, apart from those troublemakers in Akagi, no other ship girl in the Sakura Empire would disrespect Nagato.

"Um, Nagato, I have something to tell you!"

Although she was surprised at Amagi's compromise, Mikasa immediately bowed and spoke in a deep voice to Nagato, who had a silly look on his face.

As for Tiancheng, he gently lowered his eyes, his face as beautiful as an orchid in the valley was full of sadness.

From the day she realized that this was an illusion, she had already taken the initiative to look for Nagato. The reason why she later wanted to protect Nagato's illusion was because of an unspeakable reality.

----

That was when the illusion used for the exercise suddenly stopped working.

In the entire fantasy world, the sky and the ocean were all stagnant. In the silent fantasy, the attacking Royal and Iron Blood ship girls were directly bounced out, but...they, the Sakura Empire ship girls, were all trapped here.

Will the illusion dissipate and be shattered next?

After realizing the crisis of the current situation, the Sakura Empire's ship girls quickly and eagerly looked for a way to escape.

[Oh no!]

After Akashi's hard work in analyzing the situation, he could only come up with one solution in the end, because the basic rule of the illusion was that in the exercise battle, the ship girls that were sunk and defeated would naturally exit the illusion.

Then a very serious problem arises. Due to the illusion set by the program, self-sinking is not counted in the exercise battle. Therefore, one cannot escape from self-sinking and can only refresh himself at the starting point.

This means that they, the Sakura Empire, must leave behind a ship girl in this illusion that could collapse at any time.

[Haha, then let me stay. This kind of victory and fame should of course be given to me, the old senior.]

Under the youthful appearance, the first to stand out was the former flagship of the Sakura Empire, the heroic Meiji ship girl, Mikasa, the great senior. Without any hesitation or sadness, she made the decision calmly.

The Sakura Empire ship girls, who no longer had time to indulge in such sad emotions, quickly took action. Amid bursts of gunfire, they began to break free from the illusion.

Staring at Mikasa who calmly used artillery fire to send everyone away, Nagato, the current flagship, bit his lower lip lightly.

She is the current flagship of the Sakura Empire. She represents the military soul, glory and splendor of the Sakura Empire.

Although, Nagato is actually a kind and somewhat introverted child, at an age where she wants to make friends other than her sister Mutsu, she is the flagship, and a flagship should act like a flagship.

and so……

She moved closer to the defenseless Mikasa-senpai and unleashed all her barrage and artillery fire.

In the tangled flames, she successfully sent away Senior Mikasa.

[Nagato-sama!? ]

With a voice of surprise and amazement, Nagato commanded the remaining Sakura Empire shipgirls: [I am the Sakura Empire's current flagship, listen to my orders! ]

Finally, when everyone had left, Nagato finally pointed the gun at his sister, Mutsu.

[Sister? Why are you firing at everyone? Why are you fighting each other? ]

Looking at the innocent young Mutsu, Nagato's graceful face forced a smile [Mutsu, let me take you outside to be with everyone, okay? ]
