The time-based admiral of KanColle

"By the way, I think Miss Katsuragi you probably have a lot of questions you want to ask me."

Noticing that Katsuragi had been staring at her with his light green eyes, Yaxu roughly guessed something and chuckled, "Miss Katsuragi, you don't have to worry about etiquette. I'm happy to answer your confusion."

"Okay? I won't be polite then."

Looking at the stranger in front of him who knew nothing about him except his name, the outgoing Katsuragi naturally didn't say anything polite. Instead, he put his hands on his hips and asked Yaxu with a smile, "Mr. Yaxu, can you tell me why Lady Kurofuso specially asked you to come here to help?"

"The reason..."

Hearing this, Yaxu remembered that he had never used his abilities in this strange world.

So the next second, Katsuragi in front of Yaxu, with a bright smile on his face, froze in place for an instant, and everything around him, including the wall clock, froze silently.

However, unlike the smooth feeling of using time stop in the port area, Yaxu only felt an inexplicable sense of resistance, followed by a dizzy feeling as if the world was spinning, and then he fell powerlessly on the tatami.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long. Yaxu gradually adapted to this world and finally supported his inexplicably weak body.

“Hey! Should I say it’s really a different world…”

It was like inserting one's own timeline as a gear into a new clock called the world. After adapting for a period of time, Yaxu quickly regained his spirits and lifted the time stop.

So the next second, noticing that Yaxu suddenly looked tired, Katsuragi opened his eyes blankly, and then asked nervously: "Hey, Mr. Yaxu, what's wrong with you!?"

"nothing."

Gently comforting Katsuragi in front of him, Yaxu then picked up the teacup on the stove table and threw it hard against the wall, making a crisp cracking sound.

Seeing this, Katsuragi, who had no idea what Yaxu was trying to do, was about to say something when the broken pieces of the teacup suddenly began to float up strangely, then quickly gathered into a complete teacup and flew back to the kotatsu table.

"There's a ghost!!!"

"Ahem, please calm down, Miss Katsuragi!"

Seeing Katsuragi's silly expression, Yaxu waved his hand and explained: "To put it simply, I can trace the state of an object back to its previous state."

"That's why Miss Black Dragon and the others specially entrusted me to come here, hoping that I could save Miss Black Dragon who was being controlled by the ship equipment."

"This, this, this, how is this possible!?"

Expressing his panic with words so fast that it burned his mouth, Katsuragi quickly rushed to Yaxu and looked at Yaxu's hand with disbelief.

"I can't understand why humans can do such a thing!?"

"If I want to investigate this issue, I guess I have to start explaining it from a long, long time ago."

Just as Yaxu was smiling and trying to comfort the surprised Katsuragi, the paper sliding door outside the room was suddenly pulled open again.

Immediately afterwards, two pink little Sakura Empire ship girls were pulled in by Shimakaze.

"I brought the mountain breeze and the sea breeze here, Sister Katsuragi!"

With Shimakaze's energetic laughter, Yaxu's attention was naturally immediately attracted.

"Hello, I'm the eighth ship of the Shiratsuyu-class destroyer, Yamakaze~?"

Following the energetic voice, the innocent mountain breeze then waved its long sleeves happily to Yaxu.

The cherry white bear claw kimono sets off her innocent and petite body, her short brown hair is matched with bear ears, and her curly hair stands upright. Shanfeng then waved his exaggerated chest claw sleeves at Yaxu.

"Um... I'm the first ship of the Shiratsuyu-class, Kaifeng, please, please give me your guidance!"

Following Shanfeng, he introduced himself. The soft and shy Haifeng then bowed to Yaxu and greeted him.

Under the flawless kimono that looked like wings, the sea breeze exposed her shoulders and then slightly lifted her delicate little face, looking at Yaxu with tears in her eyes.

And on the soft beige waterfall hair, a cute bird hair was standing upright obediently, silently setting off the pure temperament of the sea breeze.

Is this... fructose gummy bear flavor, and fluffy, soft marshmallow flavor!

After quickly analyzing the tastes of these two little ship girls, Yaxu, with a gentle smile, couldn't help but once again be filled with respect for the little ship girls in his heart.

"Come to think of it, isn't there another Miss Yura?"

"Compared to this, Mr. Yaxu, please show me your flashback again!"

Chapter 1190 Friendship Beyond Time

In the main kitchen of Dragon Palace, accompanied by wisps of smoke, an open fire made of piled wood was crackling and sparks were flickering under the kitchen counter.

At this moment, the slim Yura was holding the blowpipe in both hands, blowing the stove under the kitchen counter carefully to steam the wooden barrel rice with the aroma of firewood.

"So, have you all seen the human gentleman who was asked to help?"

Yura's slender figure was set off by her simple red and white shrine maiden costume. After working for a while and adjusting the size of the fire, she stood up slowly and looked at Katsuragi and the others who were looking excited behind her.

"Listen to me, listen to me, that guy is definitely not human! He can stop time at will, and even restore the teacup! Can you believe it, Yura!"

"Hmm~hmm!"

Following Katsuragi's rapid speech, the petite and cute Shanfeng and Haifeng beside him also nodded their heads vigorously, agreeing with Katsuragi's words.

"Really? That sounds like an incredible human being."

"Really, Yura, you should at least be more surprised."

Seeing Yura's calm reaction, Katsuragi couldn't help shaking her beautiful blue-gray twin ponytails, pouted slightly at Yura, and asked with one hand on her waist: "Hearing such an outrageous thing, Yura, don't you have any feelings?"

"It is indeed surprising, but considering that the human gentleman was specially invited by Miss Black Dragon and the others to help, it is only natural."

"Otherwise...there's no need for them to go to another world to invite him over."

After tying a tight apron around her waist, Yura, who was busy making dinner, placed the bamboo basket full of vegetables on the chopping board beside her.

"A human being who can stop time?"

Yura's emerald eyes were filled with clear ripples. She pursed her cherry lips and suddenly turned her back to the kitchen counter. She raised her delicate neck and looked thoughtfully at the white sky outside the window.

If time could really be stopped at will, then their colleagues in the Sakura Empire... perhaps, would not have sacrificed so much.

Suddenly, an indescribable sadness emerged from her calm state of mind. Yura, with a gloomy expression, quickly shook her pretty head, as if nothing had happened, and whispered to the empty space behind her: "Please."

Ping!

As Yura finished speaking, a crisp sound of a sword being drawn suddenly and strangely sounded behind Yura.

Immediately afterwards, large amounts of purple-sakura mist began to surge out.

But unlike the three Shimakaze clones with different personalities, these purple-sakura mists gradually gathered into a big sister with elegant long hair.

With a curvy figure and a single sharp horn, this fierce-looking Sakura demon girl then drew the sword from her waist and quickly put it back into the sheath at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye.

So the next second, many neatly cut vegetables fell back into the bamboo basket from mid-air.

In response, Yura, who was facing away from the chopping board, couldn't help but curl up the corners of her lips and whispered softly, "Thank you for all this time."

Hearing Yura's words of gratitude, the handsome lady nodded imperceptibly and then quickly disappeared on the spot.

"Ah~ It's really great, Yura, you have Suzuka-nee who helps you all day long, and Shimakaze too, you have a group of like-minded clones to accompany you."

Katsuragi couldn't help but sigh with envy at Yura's big sister who was like a guardian god and a shikigami, and then complained to himself: "I also want a partner who can always listen to me."

“Is that so? But whether it’s Shimakaze or me, we’re just having more companions after all, companions who are entertaining themselves…”

As she spoke, Yura took the small box of miso from the sensible Kaifeng and Yamakaze, and added with envy, "So compared to us, the human's ability is more useful."

"Well, I heard from the human brother that he is the commander of many Sakura Empire shipgirls."

After keenly sensing Yura's low mood, the soft sea breeze couldn't help but sway the fluttering feather sleeves, and stepped on the pure white silk feet, looking at Yura obediently.

Hearing this, Shanfeng, who had bear ears, also raised his hands happily, and said to Yura with a smile: "And the human brother also said that he also knows Sister Yudachi and the others!"

“Really? Then in his world, are there Kinu and the others… um!”

Yura instinctively rekindled a certain hope in Kaifeng and the others' words, and then quickly realized something and quickly closed her lips.

After all, even if there are identical Nagara sisters in other worlds, they are still sister ships from other worlds.

As for her sisters who were born and grew up with her in this world, they had already...

"Yu Liang..."

"Phew~ Sorry, I was a little rude."

Seeing that Katsuragi and the others were also drawn into sadness by her, Yura, who had calmed down, quickly waved her miko sleeves, and then, as if to change the subject, she deliberately said: "It seems that the human gentleman should be the commander recognized by the ship girl."

"Serving as the commander of our Sakura Empire shipgirl in another world, it sounds really sad, huh~?"

As she said this, Katsuragi crossed her arms in a serious manner, because in this world, the Sakura Empire had become a belief-like existence for mankind more than a hundred years ago, so they were naturally very unfamiliar with this kind of thing.

Just as Katsuragi and the others were expressing their feelings to each other, a cold and arrogant voice suddenly came from outside the kitchen.

"That human is not as simple as you think, because he has not only the ship girls from the Sakura Empire, but also many other factions."

"Sister Black Flying Dragon?"

After walking in with a waterfall of silver-white hair, Black Flying Dragon looked around with an expressionless face, frowned and said to Yura and the others: "Let's talk about eating later. Anyway, let's go to the main hall of the Dragon Palace first. We have to start discussing business."

"Speaking of which, where did Shimakaze go?"

Noticing that the projected sky outside the window had taken on the color of dusk, Yura asked Katsuragi and the others who were watching the show nearby, "Is she wandering around the courtyard area of ​​the Ryugu Palace again?"

"Really? You knew this would cause trouble for the residents of the Dragon Palace."

at the same time--

Compared to the luxurious palace located in the central area of ​​Dragon Palace, the residential area located in the middle of Dragon Palace is full of human atmosphere.

Facing the simulated sunset on the curtain of the sky, the busy residents are wearing simple coarse linen clothes, carrying shoulder poles, and walking back and forth in the corridors of the atrium area.

In response, Yaxu, who looked out of place in his commander's uniform, looked around under the curious gazes of passers-by.

After hiding in the Dragon Palace due to disasters, the living standards of humans in this world have also deteriorated a lot.

Considering that this Dragon Palace has existed for a full eighty years, it is reasonable that it has evolved into this state.

Feeling emotional about the special conditions in other worlds, Yaxu walked alone in this atrium area, intending to take a secret tour of the place.

Fortunately, not long after, a nimble rabbit-eared girl suddenly jumped down from the eaves of a house beside the street, and then landed steadily in front of Yaxu.

The white velvet rabbit ears were soft to the touch, and Shimafuki, with her white cherry-colored hair, stood on one leg adorably, saluted Yaxu with a lively smile, and said, "Mr. Yaxu, you are a guest of our Dragon Palace, how can you come out to visit alone?"

"At least let me show you around. Don't look at me like this, I'm very reliable~?"

Just as Shimakaze volunteered to raise his little hand towards Yaxu, the residents passing by stopped and nodded in unison to greet Shimakaze.

"Ah! It's Shimakaze-sama!"

"Greetings, Lord Shimakaze."

"Alright kids, both of you hurry up and say hello to Lord Shimakaze."

"Hello, Sister Shimakaze."

Looking at Shimakaze who seemed to be loved by everyone, Yaxu was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but smile and admire Shimakaze: "It seems that you are very popular, Shimakaze-sama."

"Mr. Ya, Mr. Yaxu, please don't tease me by calling me that."

Hearing Yaxu's good-natured joke, Shimafu, whose shoulders were exposed from his baggy coat, scratched his face a little embarrassedly, then waved his hand with a smile and said, "It's just because I often come to the atrium area to say hello to everyone, so it became like this."

"Anyway, let me take Mr. Yaxu for a stroll."

With her smooth and flawless loli calves, the enthusiastic Shima Wind soon led the way.

Seeing this, Yaxu smiled lightly and naturally didn't say much, but followed Shimakaze considerately.

Although Shimakaze is a cheerful and reliable rabbit ship girl, she seems a little reckless.

While Yaxu was judging Shimafeng in his heart, the enthusiastic Shimafeng was leading Yaxu around and introducing him to some of the more special landscapes or buildings nearby.

Just as Shimakaze and Yaxu were passing by a wall covered with ivy, a slow voice suddenly came from the side, calling out to Shimakaze and Yaxu who happened to be passing by.

"Isn't this Shimakaze-sama? It's been a while since we last met."

"Hey? Isn't this Ryoko-chan!?"

After being attracted by the sudden greeting, Shimakaze looked sideways and instantly revealed a surprised smile.

Seeing this, Yaxu couldn't help but turn around and look. Through the not-too-big courtyard, he saw an old lady sitting on the outer porch not far away.

But before Yaxu could figure out the relationship between the other party and Shimakaze, Shimakaze walked in directly and said to the kind-looking old lady affectionately, "I haven't seen you out for a while, Ryoko-chan."

"After all, my granddaughter was just born, so I've been busy taking care of her recently."

In response to Shimakaze's concerned inquiries, the old lady smiled without saying a word and then slowly looked at a cradle beside her, where she saw a baby girl sleeping peacefully with her finger in her mouth.

"What, Ryoko-chan, your granddaughter has already been born!?"

After realizing this fact, Shimakaze immediately walked to the cradle and looked down at the sleeping face of the baby girl inside.
