The time-based admiral of KanColle

Apparently, even if they were tired enough to fall asleep, they would still be troubled by nightmares.

Looking at the pitiful expressions of the sea breeze and the mountain breeze, the island wind, who pursed his lower lips, couldn't help but frowned, then slowly closed his eyes.

Inevitably, the scenes of witnessing her colleagues sacrifice one after another came back to her mind clearly, and she had no way to avoid facing them.

Having the fastest speed in the Sakura Empire... this was originally the feature she was most proud of.

It was because of this characteristic that she was able to survive when she and her close companions had to escape separately. In that situation, both she and her companions knew who had the greatest chance of survival.

But even so, the colleagues from Sakura Empire still laughed and joked with each other, and finally ran away together.

So... why was she the one who survived?

Under the influence of the self-blame that kept surging from his heart, Shimakaze, with his white cherry-colored rabbit ears drooped, opened his eyes again, and then sat up from the bed in a depressed mood.

"No, no! I have to cheer myself up!"

Seeing that he seemed to be in danger of becoming a rabbit, the passionate and positive Shimakaze quickly patted his own face.

After all, she is a Shimakaze-class destroyer who inherited the will of her companions. She cannot retreat. She must quickly help rescue Sister Black Dragon.

But to be honest, she is now traumatized by the twisted ship suit that is all over her eyes behind her sister Hei Canglong.

After all, if she were affected by that thing again, she would probably become a completely new META-ized Shimakaze like her sister Black Dragon and the others, and her consciousness and ship type would also undergo drastic changes.

But if that's the case, would she still be herself?

Just as the emotion called fear began to spread in my heart, a burst of light laughter suddenly came from beside the bedroom.

Through the small gap in the door, Shimakaze quickly realized that Katsuragi sisters and the others were still chatting with Yaxu in the living room.

Is it okay to run away from something you don't want to do?

Thinking back to what Yaxu had just warned her, Shimafeng couldn't help but kneel on the bed, pinching her light white nightgown with both hands.

Yes, think about it carefully, Mr. Human doesn't seem to need her help. Even if she hides in the corner as a Sakura rabbit mascot, he can beat Black Dragon sister away.

Just as Shimakaze was thinking about this, the sweet laughter of Chikuma and the others kept coming from next door.

"Pfft~ Hehe, Mr. Yaxu, you are such a joker. You actually suggested that Katsuragi raise a group of parrots to keep her company and talk all day~?"

"What? You are not allowed to complain that I talk too much!"

Is this an illusion? They seem very happy?

Listening to the noise coming from the next room, Shimafeng, who had just been immersed in a sad atmosphere, couldn't help but quickly raise his long rabbit ears with white cherry fur, and a curious expression gradually appeared on his delicate little face.

At this moment, a large amount of white, purple and cherry-colored fog suddenly gathered behind Shimakaze.

Immediately afterwards, three Shimakaze clones wearing nightgowns appeared cutely and knelt behind Shimakaze.

"Let's take a peek..."

Slightly raising his expressionless face, Shimakaze No. 1 quickly began to seriously instigate Shimakaze.

Hearing this, Shimakaze No. 2 on the other side waved his hands in panic: "But big brother just told us to go to bed. It's rude to peek."

"What? Why should we listen to him? I want to spy on him!"

As he spoke, the last No. 3 Shima Wind, together with No. 1 Shima Wind, pushed the tearful No. 2 Shima Wind to the crack of the door.

Watching his clones running to peek, the lively Shimafeng, as the original body, looked away guiltily for a while, but still couldn't hold back his rabbit-like curiosity, so he moved his smooth and flawless loli legs and followed to peek.

So the next second, the lively scene in the living room immediately caught Shimakaze's eyes.

"Ton ton ton, huh~ This Donghuang fruit wine tastes really novel, another glass~?"

Holding the wine glass with her jade hands covered with silky white sleeves, Katsuragi drank it all in one gulp. She quickly blinked her beautiful eyes happily, patted Yaxu's shoulder happily, and complained: "You don't know, the ingredients for making wine in our Dragon Palace are few and simple, and we have long been tired of drinking the sake we make."

"It's good that you like it, but I'm actually better at making wine. After all, my mother taught me how to make wine. Even the famous cardinal of Liberty Iris praised me."

"Hmm? Human, are you talking about Bishop Richelieu of Iris?"

Listening to the other faction's shipgirls popping up from time to time in Yaxu's words, Chikuma, with her black silk legs together, slowly put down the wine glass in her hand, then leaned forward with her curvy and plump figure, and asked Yaxu tentatively: "It seems that Mr. Yaxu, you know a lot of factions' shipgirls?"

"Could it be that, Mr. Yaxu, you are a high-ranking executive in your world?"

"No, he's just an ordinary commander. In my world, there is a Maritime Administration department that is responsible for managing commanders."

"is it?"

After hearing Yaxu's response, Chikuma, with his brown rabbit ears erect, took out his notebook and asked Yaxu with a smile, "Come to think of it, Mr. Yaxu, you have been talking about our affairs since the beginning. Why don't you tell us about yours as well?"

"Well, are you curious about what's going on in my world?"

"Whoever holds the intelligence holds the initiative. This is true not only in battle, but also in life."

Her clear orange eyes sparkled with cunning glances. Chikuma, who exuded a mature charm, tilted her head slightly, tapped her red lips with her index finger, and added with a smile: "And I happen to be the type who likes to learn about unknown things."

"But it's better to see it with your own eyes than to tell it orally."

After learning about Chikuma's hobbies, Yaxu hesitated for a moment and responded with a smile: "After you finish your business, I welcome you to come to my port area to play."

"And I also have a dormitory area dedicated to the Sakura Empire shipgirls. You don't have to worry about not getting used to it."

"Is this the port area where the ship girls gather? By the way, Mr. Yaxu, why didn't you bring your ship girls here?"

Feeling the gentle tone of Yaxu when talking about the port area, Chikuma couldn't help but lift up her chest with her soft arms, and asked with a little surprise: "Your ship girl is not worried about you, Mr. Yaxu?"

Seeing that Yura and the others seemed to have some misunderstanding, Yaxu hurriedly explained: "No, I was worried that they would encounter an accident here, so I ordered them to stay in the port area and came here alone."

Hearing this, Yura, who was sitting quietly, couldn't help but sigh softly, then turned sideways to look at Yaxu and said, "Then you don't worry about yourself... Lord Yaxu."

"Just regard it as the willfulness of my commander, Miss Yura."

Slowly turning the wine glass in his hand, Yaxu said in a self-deprecating tone, "It's obvious that both parties are worried about each other and want to take the risk for each other, but I relied on my status to force them to stay."

"And this may be the commander's arrogance."

"Mr. Yaxu..."

Seeing Yaxu showing a guilty expression in front of them, Katsuragi and the others couldn't help but fall silent.

It was not until a long while later that Yura said with a sincere sigh: "It seems that Lord Yaxu, you care about your ship girl very much. Normally, shouldn't you be proud of this?"

"Haha, because they are all very reliable ship girls. If I just care about them blindly, it only means that I don't trust them. Besides, they all want me to rely on them."

Thinking of this, Yaxu slowly looked at Chikuma and the others.

Although he seems to have recovered a lot in his emotions, he will probably be defeated instantly when facing the Black Dragon again.

In that case, should he go back to the harbor to ask Elizabeth and the others for help... Forget it!

Although he didn't know what painful memories everyone in the port area had, he didn't want to see Enterprise and the others showing any sad expressions.

Therefore, he did not plan to suddenly call Chang Meng and the others to help. As for the Siren Ship Girls...

Recalling the sinister expressions of the observers, for some reason, Yaxu didn't want to ask them for help.

Of course, he wasn't worried, but he didn't want to see any Siren metamorphosis ultimate monster!

After silently stressing the commander's position in his heart, Yaxu slowly raised his head and looked out the paper window of the living room. He smiled softly to Yura and the others beside him and said, "Come to think of it, after the matter of the Black Blue Dragon is dealt with, this Dragon Palace City should be able to float up and then rest on land."

"When that time comes, how about you plant some cherry trees in Ryugu Castle? The Sakura Empire without the falling cherry blossoms will always feel like something is missing."

"The future..."

Listening to Yaxu's meaningful way of comforting them, Katsuragi and the others couldn't help but feel a sense of longing for the future.

Because they have been in Ryugu Castle for eighty years, they haven't thought about the future for a long time.

While Yura and the others were thinking, Yaxu suddenly looked to the side and saw four loli faces lined up in a row through the gap in the paper sliding door of the bedroom.

"Island... Wind?"

"Ah~ We have been discovered (read)"

Seeing that Yaxu noticed their actions, the misted No. 1 Island Wind blinked calmly.

After all, the real body has been discovered, so what does it have to do with these clones! ?

Then, accompanied by a plop, the three Shimakaze clones disappeared in an instant, leaving only the Shimakaze original body with a silly look on its face.

Wait, wait a minute, everyone is so cunning!!!

After being completely abandoned by his own clones, the shy Shimakaze was about to hide back in his bed when he was suddenly pulled over by Yaxu who opened the door.

"Yes, yes, Puqi! I'll go back to bed now (blushing)!"

Seeing that her furtive glance was caught, Shimakaze blushed and quickly covered her face with her hands. Because of her sensible and obedient personality, she of course felt ashamed of this.

However, just when Shimafeng thought that Yaxu would come to teach her a lesson with a stern face, Yaxu smiled gently and stroked Shimafeng's bunny ears up and down, and comforted her: "Okay, since you can't sleep, do you want to come out and chat and drink together, Shimafeng?"

"Oh? But..."

"You've got your temper under control, haven't you?"

Looking at the Shimakaze who had stopped crying in front of him, Yaxu smiled without saying a word and then carried the delicate Shimakaze into Chikuma's arms, completing the scene of the big and small bunny-eared girls sticking together!

After Shimakaze joined in the middle, Yaxu stayed with Katsuragi and the others and chatted until five in the morning.

"Then let's stop here, because I can't compare to your shipgirl's physique, and I still need sleep."

Seeing the simulated sunlight of the Dragon Palace faintly rising outside the window, Yaxu, who was feeling sleepy due to being drunk, put down his wine glass straightforwardly, then stood up and left in a leisurely manner.

After all, even if he was having a good chat with Shimakaze and the others, it was impossible for him to just fall asleep here. Besides, he was well aware of his current sleeping posture.

It is estimated that within ten minutes of falling asleep, he will gradually move closer to Chikuma and the others under the influence of his body instinct, and might even suddenly grab Shimakaze's delicate and soft feet and squeeze them.

So in order to avoid any accidents, he had to retreat quickly.

Looking at Yaxu's hurriedly leaving back, Yura and the others who were playing shogi couldn't help but slightly open their red lips. Just as they were about to say something, Yaxu had already walked out, leaving only the paper curtain and door closed.

"He's gone, Lord Yaxu."

"Ah, it turns out that we are causing him trouble after all."

After seeing Yaxu retreat at the right time, Katsuragi and the others, whose interest was gradually fading, didn't say much and could only start to tidy up the messy room around them.

Seeing this, Shimakaze, whose face was flushed from drinking, quickly got up and helped clean the room.

Until the next second, Yura, who was wearing a red and white witch robe, suddenly sighed and said, "If... if Lord Yaxu was here at the beginning, perhaps that kind of thing would not have happened."

Hearing this, Shimakaze and the others nearby couldn't help but freeze in place at the same time.

"Indeed, Mr. Yaxu gives people a feeling of peace of mind and reliability."

"And I feel very relaxed when I'm with him. It seems like I don't have any worries when he's around."

"Yeah, the hands look big and warm."

Just as Shimakaze was following the atmosphere and adding to Yasu's strengths, Katsuragi and the others suddenly turned around and looked at Shimakaze, whose tone sounded a little shy.

"Island... Wind?"

"Eh? Eh! Did I just say something weird!?"

Chapter 1196 Black Sea Mom's Love~?

Two days later——

Although the dazzling and golden Dragon Palace City is located at the bottom of the deep ocean, thanks to the weather simulation system on the barrier outside the Dragon Palace City, the Dragon Palace is now filled with warm sunshine.

Although the sky without clouds looks a bit monotonous, due to the warm spring weather, the Ryugu Castle is filled with a leisurely atmosphere.

At this moment, facing the warm breeze, a petite and cute loli was jumping flexibly on the residential houses in the courtyard of the Dragon Palace, like a skilled little expulsion ninja.

The soft white cherry-colored hair swayed in the breeze, and the cheerful Shima Wind walked happily towards the outer area of ​​Ryugu Castle on her bare feet. The tight blue-black uniform skirt, with its tight design like a swimsuit, perfectly set off the curves of her exquisite and slender body.

Seeing this, the residents on the surrounding streets couldn't help but smile and waved to Shimakaze who was jumping around casually on it, and then greeted him respectfully: "Master Shimakaze, it seems that you are in a good mood today."

"By the way, Master Shimakaze, thank you for helping my family move the wood materials yesterday."

"Also, two days ago, thanks to you, Lord Shimakaze, you helped me find the important sachet, otherwise it would have been terrible."

Listening to the enthusiastic praises from the residents below, Shimafeng, with her white fur rabbit ears erect, clasped her hands behind her back with ease, then raised her pretty head slightly. Under her snow-white bangs embroidered with two red dots was a bright and moving smile.

"You're welcome, but I have something else to do, so I'm sorry~?"

After sticking out her little pink tongue in a playful manner, Shimakaze hurriedly jumped away in front of the confused expressions of the residents below.

After witnessing this scene, the residents below couldn't help but look at each other and start talking.

"Strange, I feel like Lady Shimakaze is in a very good mood these past two days?"

"Well, although Lady Shimakaze is always positive and lively, it seems...she seems to be very relaxed now?"

While the residents of Ryugu City were puzzled by Lord Shimakaze's strange behavior, in the agricultural and forestry area outside Ryugu City, Yaxu was looking up at the sky, silently watching a large bear kite above.
