The time-based admiral of KanColle

"Haha, Lord Shimakaze... you are still the same as always."

The kind voice revealed the tiredness unique to an old person. The old lady in cloth clothes heard the name "Ryoko-chan" which was totally inconsistent with her age. She could not help but slowly raised her wrinkled face and looked at the petite Shimakaze in front of her.

Through her cloudy eyes, the old lady seemed to have returned to the past and saw herself as a little girl on the street, happily holding hands with Shimakaze, whom she called sister, and playing skipping rope together.

"It brings back memories of the days when I played with you, Shimakaze-sama, more than 60 years ago."

"Ahem."

Responding to the old lady's words with a bright smile, Shimakaze then put his hands behind his back and slowly looked at the baby rocking bed next to him.

"Well, when your granddaughter can walk, I will bring candy to play with her!"

"Well, I'll take care of it then, Lord Shimakaze."

Watching the conversation between Shimafeng and the old lady, Yaxu's mood inevitably became more and more subtle.

And at this moment, Yaxu clearly felt the insurmountable gap between ship girls and ordinary humans.

The eternally youthful and beautiful ship girls, and the Ryugu residents who believe in them.

Realizing that both Shimakaze and the old lady had already adapted to this situation, Yaxu, who was hesitant to speak, just watched quietly from the side.

Although theoretically he could use time travel to turn this elderly grandmother back into the familiar little girl in Shimakaze's memory, but as expected... this kind of thing is not something an outsider like him can interfere with.

While Yaxu was thinking this, the old lady named Liangzi naturally noticed Yaxu's presence.

"Strange, it's a new face I haven't seen before."

"That's right, Mr. Yaxu is a guest who came to our Dragon Palace to help."

"Guest, is it possible... that there are still survivors outside?"

Facing Ryoko's surprised look, Yaxu did not explain further, but greeted her calmly: "Um, hello..."

"Let's stop here for our small talk, Commander."

After suddenly interrupting Yaxu's greeting with a cold and smiling voice, the ethereal Black Helena suddenly appeared behind Yaxu, blinking her beautiful red eyes and smilingly reminding him, "Hei Gaoxiong and the others have all returned, and are preparing to discuss the so-called battle plan with you, the commander."

"Yeah, I understand."

Seeing that he had something important to deal with, Yaxu had no choice but to quickly remind Shimafeng: "Then let's go back quickly, Shimafeng."

"Okay, sorry Ryoko-chan, I'll come see you guys next time!"

As he said that, Shimakaze quickly caught up with Yaxu and Black Helena who were starting to return.

But just as they were about to leave the courtyard, Shimakaze suddenly turned around in her small, plain shoes, and assured the old lady with a smile: "Well, if you just bear with it a little longer, we can all see the real sun forever (laugh)~?"

"Master Shimakaze?"

"Okay, let's go, Mr. Yaxu, we can't waste time!"

After watching the excited Shimakaze run away ahead of him, Yaxu couldn't help but reveal an emotional smile.

Chapter 1191: Veteran Commander's Boat-Lifting Technique

At night, under the deep starry sky simulated by the Deep Sea Dragon Palace City, the wall lights of the main hall in the central area of ​​Dragon Palace City quickly illuminated the entire main hall.

While Chikuma and the others were kneeling on the cushions obediently, waiting for the arrival of Kurofuso and the others, Katsuragi was chatting with Yaxu beside him in a cheerful tone.

"We are going to hold a festival in the Dragon Palace soon, but calling it a summer festival is a bit weird at this time. Should we call it a festival celebration?"

"Forget it, it doesn't matter what happens. I just want to enjoy myself to the fullest that day!"

Her light green eyes were filled with joy and excitement, and Katsuragi, with her blue-gray twin ponytails, was smiling in front of Yaxu. Against the backdrop of her smooth, transparent blue uniform, her light-hearted girlish vitality overflowed.

In response, Yaxu, who was also in a good mood, smiled back at the right time and said, "I wonder if there will be fireworks at your Dragon Palace festival?"

"Of course!"

Quickly taking over Yaxu's words at an extremely fast pace, Katsuragi continued to happily tell Yaxu about the festival.

Wow, so amazing, Mr. Human can actually chat with Sister Katsuragi for such a long time.

Looking at Yaxu who had been chatting with Ge Cheng for half an hour, the petite and cute Haifeng and the others couldn't help but hold up their fluttering sleeves and looked at Yaxu not far away with some admiration.

Seeing this, Chikuma, who was also surprised, couldn't help shaking his long rabbit ears, then leaned forward with his curvy and soft body, and praised Yaxu in a friendly manner: "Mr. Yaxu is really amazing."

"Because once Katsuragi starts talking, she can't stop listening to what others are saying, so we usually can't do anything about her."

"Really? I think it's fun to talk to Miss Katsuragi."

Looking at Katsuragi who was still talking to himself beside him, Yaxu did not feel the slightest impatience.

Although he had to admit that he really couldn't keep up with the speed of this talkative lady's conversation.

Fortunately, Katsuragi seemed to prefer simply finding someone to talk to rather than having an equal conversation.

And it just so happened that he really liked listening to the sweet laughter of the ship girls when they were chatting.

Just like when we were in the port area, normal people would choose to find a quiet place to take a nap, but he was different. He would specifically hold a pillow and go to a place where the big sisters gathered to sleep.

Thinking of this, Yaxu couldn't help but add to Chikuma in a joking tone: "You know, no matter which world you are in, it is a great honor to be able to chat with a young and beautiful girl."

"Mr. Yaxu?"

As soon as Yaxu finished his teasing words, for some reason, Katsuragi and Yura and the others who were not far away suddenly opened their beautiful eyes wide, and then looked at Yaxu with subtle eyes.

"What, what's wrong?"

Facing Katsuragi and the others' uniform gazes, Yaxu was a little confused, but he quickly waved his hand and apologized politely, "Well, if what I said just now offended you, please don't mind it."

"No, you misunderstood, Mr. Yaxu, we are not angry."

Seeing that Yaxu seemed to feel a little guilty, Chikuma pursed his lips and quickly put his hands on his chest and explained to Yaxu: "It's just... we noticed that you, Mr. Yaxu, are very open in front of our ship girls."

"So it strikes us as somewhat rare, after all..."

"After all, the humans here all regard you as their faith, right?"

Recalling the way the residents of Ryugu called him "Sir Shimakaze", Yaxu nodded with great understanding.

You have to know that the dominant Sakura Empire's ship girls have been in this world for more than a hundred years. Considering the ship girls' outrageous strength and technology as well as their lack of concept of aging, it is normal for humans in this world to believe in them like gods.

"However, in my world, there are many camps of shipgirls who dislike each other, so this kind of atmosphere has not formed."

"Other camps, that is to say, there are White Eagle, Iron Blood and other ship girls, which is really nostalgic."

Recalling their previous impressions of the ship girls from other factions, Yura and the others couldn't help but start discussing with each other.

Seeing this, Katsuragi, who was happily chatting, quickly moved his legs and actively echoed beside him: "Are you guys talking about the White Eagle Ship Girl? Bring her along too!"

"Speaking of which, the White Eagle's aircraft carriers have many strange tactics, such as the tactic called bouncing bombing. The White Eagle used it and it caused me a lot of trouble!"

Seeing that Katsuragi was about to take the initiative in the conversation again, Yaxu took the initiative to ask Haifeng and the others what they thought of Baiying.

"Um, well, I remember that White Eagle seemed to have a very powerful aircraft carrier sister."

"Ahhh, Shanfeng knows, it's called the Gray Ghost. The sisters on the aircraft carrier said she's like a ghost and can't be sunk no matter what!"

It seems that the legend of the invincible Enterprise-chan is very popular even in other worlds (very realistic)!

Just when Yaxu was chatting happily with Yura and the others, Kurofuso, dressed in a dark-colored shrine maiden costume, finally walked in from outside with a group of Embers ship girls, dragging her long skirt and taking steps with her slender legs wrapped in dark white over-the-knee socks.

With her inky long hair braided into a complicated braid and her inky cat ears standing up, Kurofuso slowly knelt down in front of Shimakaze and the others, then bowed slightly to Yaxu and apologized, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, human sir."

Following Hei Fuso's exquisite Sakura apology, the heroic Hei Royal Ark sat down cross-legged and raised her pretty head, saying to Yaxu in a handsome manner: "Anyway, we have captured her route, human sir, Miss Ming An is outside to monitor her."

"And in order to avoid affecting this place, we will lead her to a distant open sea area early tomorrow morning. I'll leave it to you then!"

"Ah, is there something important you haven't told my commander yet?"

The cold voice carried an inexplicable emotion, and Black Helena, with her red eyes lowered, then slowly looked at Black Fuso and the others beside her, silently conveying a silent sense of oppression.

Hearing this, the cold and taciturn Black Flying Dragon sat cross-legged in front of Yaxu and warned him bluntly: "Tsk, anyway, because my sister is too meta, if we get close to her, we will be affected by her and become irrational monsters."

"So when the time comes, Shimakaze and the others will escort you to your sister."

"As for us, the Embers, we will do our best to attract Sister's attention from the front and suppress her with ultra-long-range firepower."

"So, I'm going to act together with Miss Katsuragi and the others?"

After listening to Hei Feilong's explanation, Ya Xu quickly nodded in understanding.

At this moment, a voice as cold as the severe winter suddenly came from outside the door, calling Yaxu inside.

"Compared to this, what reward do you want, human?"

With her elegant black hair decorated with a white bow ribbon, the plump Hei Kaohsiung walked in slowly with her seductive legs wrapped in black boots.

Wearing a tight white uniform of the Sakura Empire style paired with a dashing black jacket, the imposing Hei Kaohsiung then leaned silently against the wall on one side, and slowly raised his exquisite jade face, revealing his deep dark golden eyes from the hair covering his right eye.

After looking at Yaxu for a while, Hei Gaoxiong stretched out his bandaged hand and placed the ship-mounted long sword aside.

Seeing this, Ya Xu, who was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but smile and responded: "It seems that you, Yu Jin, don't want to owe me a favor."

"..."

In an instant, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly fell into an indescribable silence.

So the next second, in order to ease the atmosphere, the considerate Yaxu chuckled and said frankly: "But don't worry, I just happen to need your help with something."

"But let's talk about the reward after the matter is completed. After all, I don't have the confidence to ask you for anything before I win back Miss Black Canglong."

After showing her attitude, Yaxu did not wait for these cold older sisters to reply, but turned to the mature-looking Chikuma and asked, "Anyway, please help me prepare a bedroom for rest."

"I will try to fulfill my promise tomorrow morning."

"Yes! Please follow me, Mr. Yaxu."

"Wait, let Shimakaze come and help me too!"

After watching Chikuma and Shimakaze lead Yaxu away, the ethereal Black Helena barely noticed the seductive red lips.

Is this the reward the Commander wants? She can't even imagine this kind of thing based on her understanding of the Commander...

"Hmm... I always feel like your Dragon Palace has some secret ninja passage hidden in it."

As Yaxu stepped out of the main hall for discussions, he continued to look at the decorations and murals of the Dragon Palace, which he never got tired of. Chikuma, who was in charge of leading the way, asked Yaxu in a low voice with some concern: "Um, Mr. Yaxu, how did you know Fuso-sama and the others?"

"We are not acquaintances, but I am currently Black Helena's commander, and... Ming'an's friend."

"Eh? Is, is that so?"

After realizing that Hei Feilong and the others were not close to Yaxu, Chikuma didn't know how to comment for a moment.

Compared to Chikuma who had many concerns, the lively and energetic Shimakaze quickly shook his white cherry-colored rabbit ears, covered his mouth with a little surprise and said: "Then why did you come to our world to help, Mr. Yaxu?"

"As I just said, I also have something I want to ask them for help. This should be the so-called mutual help."

Facing the curiosity from Kawaii Island, Yaxu then turned to look at Chikuma, who was also a bunny-eared girl: "By the way, Chikuma, you don't have to worry about offending me all the time."

"Because they feel they need something from me, they lower their posture. This reserved attitude will only add to my pressure."

"Just treat it as a normal transaction and regard me as a stranger you just met not long ago."

As he spoke, Yaxu winked at Chikuma and joked, "According to your customs, should I call you Chikuma-sama or Shimakaze-sama?"

"Haha, Mr. Yaxu, you really know how to joke with us, the ship girl~?"

Faced with Yaxu's thoughtfulness and straightforwardness, Chikuma, who was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but smile elegantly. His mood also relaxed, and he began to joke with Yaxu: "Should I say that you are worthy of being the commander of a ship girl? I feel that you are full of experience."

"Well, anyway, in return, Shimakaze will come to help when the time comes!"

After patting the little pudding on her chest with her delicate jade hands, the exquisite and slender Shimafeng also showed a friendly attitude towards Yaxu.

"Then I'll leave it to you guys."

Looking at Chikuma and Shimakaze's friendly responses, Yaxu, who seemed to be at ease, became more and more flustered.

Well, the question is, what kind of compensation should he ask Hei Gaoxiong and the others for when the time comes? He has never considered this matter at all! ?

In short, he had to quickly come up with a harmless, reliable request that would not appear to be perfunctory.

With this unspeakable worry, Yaxu spent his first night in Dragon Palace.

So in the early morning of the next day, a giant water curtain that was big enough to cover the sky and the sun suddenly rose from the vast ocean, standing quietly on the sea like a dreamlike city in the sea.

And this is the crusade against Big Sister Black Canglong!

at the same time--

In the distant port area, the commander's bedroom in the admiral's mansion was filled with a faint loving voice.

On the soft bed, Dafeng, wearing a brocade dress, was hugging the pillow and quilt tightly, twisting her flawless and charming body on it wantonly.

"Ah~ Commander, please don't pity Taiho, come and bully me more~?"
