The time-based admiral of KanColle

"If we get into these areas, Akashi's brain will go blank, meow~~~ and he won't be able to do research, meow..."

After apparently saying something extraordinary, Akashi put down the wrench, walked to the innermost warehouse of the store and dragged out a machine.

"This is……"

Yaxu stared at the machine that was emitting a faint light. The strange appearance gave people an indescribable feeling.

"This is the machine that builds the ship girl, meow. Putting in the Mind Cube and Supply Coins will awaken the soul of the ship girl, meow."

Akashi lifted up his long sleeves to wipe off the dust, then turned his head with a guilty look and said, "But Akashi seems to have broken it, meow. Now I can't use it even if I want to, meow."

"Yeah……"

Yaxu walked forward with mixed feelings. Machines like this that can build ship girls are hidden well no matter which region they are in, so this is the first time Yaxu has seen such a machine.

It's hard to believe that such a magical existence as KanColle was created by this kind of machine.

Touching the dusty machine that was mostly disassembled by Akashi, Yaxu let out an indescribable bitter smile.

"Meow, stupid human, why are you thinking so much, meow?"

Seeing the dazed Yaxu, Mingshi pushed the machine back again and said, "Instead of dwelling on these things, why not live happily."

"You're right, Akashi."

Yaxu nodded and decided not to pay attention to these meaningless things.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, when Akashi moved the machine back, a piece of metal fell off from it. Yaxu curiously went forward to pick it up. There was a number clearly written on it: [World AZUR-6302].

"Alright meow, human, go back meow."

He quickly snatched the metal piece back and put it into his yellow and white long sleeves. Mingshi waved his sleeves perfunctorily and began to drive Yaxu away.

"Yes Yes."

Yaxu wisely didn't say much. Now it was the business of the ship girls.

As a human being, he couldn't help much in the battle. All he had to do was go back and wait for the Siren invasion to end.

But...is it really just like that?

Chapter 53 Variables

There are only 3 short days left until the Sirens invade.

Yaxu, who didn't want to disturb the exercises of the various camps, naturally stayed patiently in the Admiral's Mansion, waiting for the invasion to end.

Originally...it should have been like this.

"Huh, how is this possible!!! What...happened?"

Early in the morning, Yaxu, who was sleeping in bed, suddenly woke up. With a look of fear in his eyes, he stumbled out of bed and quickly grabbed the desk to support his shaking body.

Wait, I reset again? But I'm not dead!

Finding himself back in the office, Yaxu covered his head and tried hard to recall his last memory.

The Siren invasion war has never been so smooth... But at the critical moment, a golden light suddenly appeared in the sky from the direction of Sakura Empire. Unlike all the previous reincarnations, this time there was an extra Siren fleet, hundreds of extra Sirens, and they suddenly appeared on the right side of Sakura Empire.

Then... he felt something was wrong and hurried to the defense area of ​​the Sakura Empire. He happened to see those golden sirens appear out of thin air, and then... they stopped?

Wait, why did he suddenly reset?

Feeling a little dizzy, Yaxu quickly patted his cheeks, held the desk with one hand, picked up the water cup on the table with the other hand, and splashed the water on his face.

Boom!

Suddenly, a feeling as if he was carsick swept over him. Yaxu could not hold on any longer and sat down under the desk. The water cup was also dragged down by Yaxu and fell off the table.

What would a normal person's first reaction be when seeing a cup flying in the air? Sure enough, they would not want it to break.

Looking at the spinning and falling water cup, Yaxu finally couldn't resist the strong sleepiness and closed his eyes.

----

After an unknown amount of time, Yaxu, who was sleeping under the desk, suddenly woke up.

"..."

Contrary to his previous decadence, Yaxu felt that his brain was clearer than ever before, as if his head had been filled with many mints, and it was incredibly cool.

Weird, am I deaf?

The moment Yaxu opened his eyes, he immediately felt the eerie silence all around him. The feeling of no sound seemed a bit scary, especially the sound of the drills that should have been continuous, but Yaxu could not hear it at all.

No, that's not right!

Finally, Yaxu saw clearly that the cup of water in front of him was suspended in mid-air, violating all kinds of physics.

Gosh……

After being stunned for a long while, Yaxu reached out his hand tremblingly to touch the water cup in the air, but surprisingly, Yaxu's hand passed through.

"This is?!"

He reached out and patted the water cup that was right in front of him, and Yaxu's hand kept moving back and forth in the water cup.

It seemed... different from the stop time he saw in the movie.

Of course, having watched various science fiction movies, Yaxu also knew from this obvious situation that he had stopped time, but he just couldn't touch anything?

"wrong!"

Yaxu looked at the floor beneath him and the desk behind him. He could feel the touch of these objects.

"Looks like I have to go find Akashi."

Yaxu stood up quickly, and after thinking for a while, he tentatively touched the wall and the bed respectively.

The result was that the wall could be touched by hand, but the bed could pass through it.

I can't understand this principle, although the fact that time stops is incomprehensible enough in itself.

Yaxu smiled bitterly and suddenly realized a very serious problem. How could he recover if time stopped like this?

Ping!

Suddenly, a clear sound was heard in the silent world, and the water cup that had been with Yaxu for three weeks was smashed into pieces.

"It seems...it has something to do with my consciousness?"

Listening to the rumbling sounds of gunfire coming from outside the window again, Yaxu held his forehead weakly and shook his head. He decided not to think about these complicated things and it would be better to ask Mingshi.

----

"Wait a minute, meow! Say what you just said again, meow!?"

In the small Akashi shop, looking at Yaxu who suddenly visited early in the morning, Akashi shook his head blankly, and circles appeared in his beige eyes.

"I don't believe it, meow! Akashi doesn't believe this kind of thing, meow! This is unscientific, meow!!!"

Looking at Mingshi who refused to believe it, Yaxu quickly stepped forward and grabbed Mingshi's long sleeves.

Time Stop——

"Meow meow!!!"

With the super-human keen senses of the ship girl, Akashi immediately noticed the disharmony around her.

The lights stopped flashing, the machines suddenly fell silent, all these signs told Akashi that the thing she least believed had happened.

Reach out, cat scratch, cat scratch.

Akashi, whose pupils had lost their color, just squatted quietly in the corner, using his little hands to pierce the wrench on the ground again and again.

"How did you do that, meow..."

"I also want to know……"

Squatting in the corner with Mingshi, Yaxu looked at his hands. After a short period of trial, he was sure that he could control this kind of time stop. However, unlike the movies, he could not touch the objects that were stopped in time, as if those things did not exist.

Objects and terrain that come into contact with it can be affected, but again, these will not be stopped in time.

"It seems that you can escape from the current timeline and add a new timeline, meow..."

After gradually regaining his sanity, Akashi turned to look at Yaxu and explained, "So the object that was stopped in time is in the original timeline, so you can't touch it, meow."

"Wait a minute, meow! Let's do an experiment, meow!"

Suddenly Mingshi stood on tiptoe, tore open Yaxu's clothes, pulled off a piece of cloth and threw it on the ground, then grabbed Yaxu and said, "Try to cancel the time stop, meow."

Time stop lifted——

The sound of machines around him started again, and Yaxu was stunned because the scraps of cloth that were on the ground just now had disappeared without a trace.

"Try to stop again, meow."

Time Stop——

After stopping time again, Yaxu looked at the empty floor in silence.

Time stop lifted——

"It seems like you can only superimpose a new timeline each time, and you can't go back to the original one, meow."

After finishing the experiment, Mingshi patted his little cheek while explaining the complicated principles to Yaxu, and then took a cardboard box from the shelf.

Open it, get in, all in one go.

"Akashi?"

Looking at the cardboard box with only a tail sticking out, Yaxu shook the box with an embarrassed look on his face: "Don't worry about my business for now. The future has changed. There will be hundreds of Sirens on the right side of Sakura Empire out of thin air. If we don't find a way to solve it..."

"Meow... Let Akashi think about it for a while, meow."

Chapter 54 Partner

Yaxu, who was waiting outside the Akashi store, looked quietly ahead and waited patiently.

Just half an hour ago, Akashi went out mysteriously, and it seemed that he had thought of a solution.

"Poi? Poi? It smells so good, poi..."

With silver-gray hair draped over her shoulders and blurry scarlet animal eyes, Yudachi of the Sakura Empire slightly raised her head, sniffed the scent and followed Akashi who was holding the special jerky in front of her.

So Akashi, your method is to lure Yuudachi over with food?

Looking at Yuudachi who was following Akashi in a daze with his black and white tail wagging uncontrollably, Yaxu couldn't help laughing. Although Yuudachi was still quite powerful when he was angry, he was really no different from a puppy at other times.

"Okay meow, here you go meow."

After arriving at the destination, Akashi handed the specially made jerky to Yuudachi. Yuudachi's eyes immediately lit up and he finished the jerky in less than two seconds.

"Poi? Where is this place? Akashi, why did you bring me here, Poi?"

After eating, Yuudachi was obviously calmer. After looking around, he tilted his head and looked at Akashi.

"I know poi! Akashi, you must have some secret mission that requires Yuudachi's help!"

Before Akashi could explain, Yudachi suddenly realized something and jumped on the spot, patted his belly with a confident smile, leaned back and closed his eyes and said: "Just leave it to Yudachi! ?(???)??"

After that, Yudachi grinned and showed his fangs, picked up Akashi, and rubbed him: "As expected, Yudachi is the most powerful poi!"

"Meow……"

Looking helplessly at Yudachi who was getting excited, Akashi nodded seriously to Yaxu and said, "Anyway, I got you a strong and gullible ship girl, meow."

"Huh? Um, Akashi, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Poi!? Human?"

Finally, just as Yaxu was asking Akashi about his intentions, Yudachi discovered this human who suddenly appeared, walked over curiously, stood on tiptoe and sniffed Yaxu gently.

"Because if Akashi thinks it's Yudachi, then you should be able to get along with her quickly, human, right, meow."

Akashi glanced at Yudachi, who didn't know anything but still thought he was capable, and then said to Yaxu, "It can be used in conjunction with your time-stopping ability."

Yudachi, on the other hand, raised his hands to his waist and praised as if he was praising her: "Even though Yudachi doesn't understand, you are very good! Poi!"

Compared to other ship girls who rely more or less on experience and knowledge, an optimistic animal like Yuudachi basically relies on her animal instinct.

"Hey, Akashi...you can't be."

Of course, Yaxu is not a fool. At this point, Yaxu also understands what Mingshi means.

It seems that he intends to use his time stop to cooperate with the ship girls in the battle!
