The time-based admiral of KanColle

"Yeah! Shanfeng is not a child."

"Woooo..."

Looking at the pitiful expressions of Shanfeng and the others, Chikuma and the others looked at each other for a while, then shook their heads resolutely.

Although they had a very pleasant time with Yaxu this week, some things still had to be faced.

Faced with the twisted ship suit that could bewitch their minds, they were ultimately unable to resist its influence.

In this case, they might as well accept the negative emotions from the bottom of their hearts and transform directly into META-ized ship girls.

After all, as long as the degree of metamorphosis does not exceed 50%, they will not become monsters like Sister Black Dragon.

As long as they help Yaxu rescue Sister Hei Canglong during this period of time, their work will be done.

After realizing what Chikuma and the others were planning, Yaxu, who had been silent for a while, frowned and asked everyone in a deep voice: "Do you... really want to go meta?"

"Hehe, there's nothing we can do about it, human."

Seeing Yaxu worried about them, the playful Katsuragi immediately patted Yaxu's shoulder affectionately and said in a nonchalant manner: "Isn't this a good thing? If it really becomes meta, then won't I become even more powerful like Kurokaohsiung and the others~?"

"But then, are you still you?"

"..."

Faced with Yaxu's meaningful question, all the ship girls present fell into an unspeakable silence.

The meta-transformation will greatly affect the mind of the ship girl, and this kind of mental transformation is not a problem that he can solve by going back in time.

And if Chikuma and the others are really meta-ized, to some extent, it would be equivalent to completely turning them into another new ship girl.

By then, will they still be themselves?

Just as Chikuma and the others inevitably thought about this question, Yaxu couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart, then slowly stood up and walked out of the main hall.

In response, Hei Kaohsiung, who watched Yaxu leave, slowly grasped the oppressive ship-mounted long sword with his slender hands wrapped in bandages.

After all, the Black Dragon, which has been completely controlled by the ship equipment, has gained a great degree of self-repair ability, and it is necessary to continuously suppress the firepower in order to control the opponent.

However, if one wants to suppress the opponent without endangering Black Dragon's life, one must stay close to adjust the firepower.

But for these Embers, getting close to the Black Dragon would only give humans one more monster to deal with...

Thinking of this, the cold and taciturn Hei Kaohsiung finally slowly closed his dark golden eyes.

That night——

With all kinds of complicated thoughts in his mind, Yaxu, sitting cross-legged in the bedroom, was now quietly looking at the chess board in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Fortunately, at this moment, a beautiful figure suddenly knelt down on the other side of the chessboard and said to Yaxu in a timely manner: "Since you are in a bad mood, let me play chess with you, Commander."

"I'm sorry to have worried you, Black Helena."

Looking up at the Black Helena who was as cool and charming as ever, Yaxu sighed softly and finally showed a gentle smile again, and took the lead in moving the chess piece in front of him.

Seeing this, Black Helena, who knew what Yaxu was worried about, naturally did not say much, but smiled and played chess with Yaxu.

Taking advantage of the break in the game, Yaxu tried to ask Black Helena who was concentrating on playing chess: "Black Helena, when you became a META ship girl, did you regret it?"

"Hehe, I wonder if you want to hear the truth, Commander, or a lie?"

The beautiful red eyes flashed with unknown emotions. In response to Yaxu's question, Black Helena looked back at Yaxu.

In response, Yaxu asked back affectionately: "What do you think?"

Facing the question from her beloved husband, Black Helena naturally did not hide anything, but smiled frankly and said: "You should ask this question to my past self, Commander. After all, if I hadn't metamorphosed, I wouldn't have met you."

“So for me now, of course I feel lucky.”

"But I actually envy that sentimental Miss Helena."

In a soft and ethereal tone, Black Helena then added to Yaxu playfully: "I have Cleveland and the others as my friendly and intimate friends, St. Louis and the others as my close sisters, and I also have an interesting and fun husband."

"Um, is your description of me a little strange?"

"Really? Hehe, you've already lost, Commander~?"

While enjoying the fun of playing chess and chatting with Yaxu, Black Helena suddenly pointed suggestively at the shogi board in front of her.

Seeing this, Yaxu realized that he had been forced into a desperate situation by Black Helena.

"Ahem, there's nothing I can do. Since you want to play, I'll be a little more serious."

Thinking about how he had been absent-minded while playing chess just now, Yaxu coughed twice and couldn't help but feel the so-called competitive spirit towards Black Helena who was playing chess seriously in front of him.

However, two hours later, Yaxu faced Black Helena's smile with a dazed commander's expression.

Something is wrong, this is very wrong!

After losing the eighth chess game to Black Helena, Yaxu, with eyes wide open, finally realized a fact clearly.

It is obvious that Black Helena... is an older sister of the same level as Yixian and the others!

After seeing that Black Helena had figured out his style and preferences when playing shogi, Yaxu patted his cheek and finally asked Black Helena awkwardly: "Well, how about we change the game, how about Go?"

"Oh? Commander, are you admitting defeat? (laughs)?"

"Well, come again!"

Hearing Black Helena's teasing words, Yaxu, as her husband, certainly couldn't just admit defeat, so he had to rearrange the chessboard.

But in the final analysis, he still couldn't beat Black Helena. Could it be that... he had to use his own body again?

Thinking of this, Yaxu hesitated for a moment, but finally put on a shameless face and suddenly took off his commander's uniform, revealing his body that he had trained regularly in the White Eagle Gym, and put on an expression of playing chess seriously again.

Facing Yaxu's well-defined figure, Black Helena, with a slight smile on her lips, suddenly joked to Yaxu: "Commander, isn't this the strategy you used to deal with Miss Frederick the Great?"

"When playing chess, take off your uniform suddenly. In this way, Miss Frederick the Great will show a loving smile and keep staring at you, ignoring the chessboard below."

Oops! If you think about it carefully, Black Helena has figured him out for a long time!

Just when Yaxu was frozen and didn't know how to respond to Black Helena, Black Helena tilted her head slightly and smiled happily. She asked Yaxu in an innocent voice, "Or, Commander, are you going to use the same method you used against Miss Amagi to deal with me?"

"Taking advantage of the gap when Miss Tiancheng made her move, he suddenly hugged Miss Tiancheng from behind, who was dizzy, and pressed down her fox tail while..."

"Ahem, alright, alright, I admit defeat, okay, Black Helena."

After hearing Black Helena's account of her despicable behavior as a commander, Yaxu, feeling extremely ashamed, quickly put away the chessboard in front of her. After all, if she continued like this, she would lose face as her beloved husband!

However, seeing this, the comfortable Black Helena once again asked Yaxu with a smile: "Commander, do you really want to admit defeat? Giving up halfway is not a good idea."

Hearing Black Helena's mocking tone, Yaxu felt his face getting hot and finally stopped caring about his so-called commander image. He raised his hand tremblingly and pointed at the window sill not far away, and asked Black Helena: "Go, go there and lie down!"

"Ah, I didn't expect that they would use the same method they used against Miss Belfast~?"

Oh my god! She knows so much (sad)!

Chapter 1202: The Stubborn Black Kaohsiung

The next morning, clear morning dew gradually condensed on the windowsills of the Dragon Palace and the bedroom.

On the soft bed in the middle of the bedroom, Yaxu was lying in the warm quilt, looking at the shogi board that had been moved in front of the bed with a subtle mood.

After looking at the chessboard for a while, Yaxu, with a wandering gaze, slowly looked at the exquisite sleeping face of Black Helena beside him.

The soft and thin quilt outlines a figure that is more mature than Helena's. The satisfied Black Helena is leaning against Yaxu in a very lazy sleeping posture, and has completely relaxed beside Yaxu.

However, compared to the happy Black Helena, Ya Xu on the side suddenly reached out and poked Black Helena's delicate pink cheek, and then asked with some concern: "Black Helena, I won?"

Hearing this, Black Helena opened her eyes and couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips slightly, revealing a particularly elegant smile, and responded to Yaxu affectionately: "Haha, of course you win, Commander~?"

Faced with the teasing look in Black Helena's red eyes that could not be concealed at all, Yaxu couldn't help but sigh sincerely in his heart.

As expected, playing chess with the big sister from Minato is too tiring. It would be much easier to play chess with the brave and silly Bai.

But…thanks to the fun with Black Helena, his gloomy mood last night became a lot lighter.

"Thanks."

Looking at the dark blue hair on Black Helena's head that swayed from time to time, Yaxu, who felt very relaxed, suddenly said to Black Helena meaningfully: "I think I have thought about it."

"As expected, I don't want to see Chikuma and the others become meta-ship girls because of the Black Soryuu incident."

"Really? But you're not going to call Miss Enterprise and the others to help, are you?"

Knowing what Yaxuna meant by the commander's principle, Black Helena frowned and added, "Besides, you probably won't ask for help from the Sirens either."

"Ah."

As always, after being seen through by Black Helena, Yaxu, who had no intention of hiding it, quickly nodded frankly.

Although he didn't know whether the Enterprises had any grudges in their hearts, he didn't want to joke about such things. As for the Observers who had been with them for such a long time, he didn't want to add such an unnecessary burden to them.

Naturally, relying on her familiarity with Yaxu, Black Helena immediately saw through Yaxu's plan, and quickly suggested to Yaxu: "Miss Bismarck and the others may not be able to do it, but those Miss New Jersey and the others who have nothing to do with you, the commander, as well as the ship girls of the Northern Union, the Sardinia Empire, etc. should..."

"Even if you are ship girls, you will have sad things more or less, right?"

After politely rejecting Black Helena's proposal, Yaxu quickly stood up and prepared to talk to Black Fuso and the others.

Seeing this, Black Helena immediately reached out her bare hand to grab Yaxu's sleeve, and warned in a cold voice: "Commander, you are too greedy."

"Well, it seems that I am indeed a greedy commander."

Hearing the worry in Black Helena's words, Yaxu hesitated for a moment and finally smiled at Black Helena, and said frankly: "Just think of it as me seeking peace of mind."

"But neither Miss Enterprise nor I will be happy about this..."

Looking at Yaxu who wanted to solve the problem by himself, Black Helena's red eyes, whose emotions could not be seen, became deeper and deeper.

If it was at the beginning, she could still watch all of Yaxu's actions from a distance with the mentality of a bystander, as if it had nothing to do with her.

But now, she didn't want to see her commander forcing himself to do something dangerous!

After all, as the girl of the White Eagle ship, she has nothing to do with Shimakaze and the others, and she doesn't really care about the safety of the Black Dragon.

Thinking of this, Black Helena couldn't help but pull Yaxu's sleeve tightly, obviously not wanting Yaxu to leave.

"Why……"

Looking at the Black Helena who couldn't let go, Yaxu scratched his cheek and thought for a moment. Then he deliberately used a joking and cheerful tone to explain to Black Helena: "Hehe~ Of course I'm here to salvage the boat!"

As he spoke, Yaxu patted Black Helena's pretty head and added, "After all, as long as we can get rid of the threat of the Black Azure Dragon, Shimakaze and the others will be able to get rid of their duties of guarding Ryugu Castle, and they may come to the port area in the future."

"Besides, if I rescue Miss Black Blue Dragon, the Ember will owe me a favor. If the port area encounters any trouble in the future, I can legitimately ask them for help!"

"Commander, even if you come up with a bunch of seemingly legitimate reasons, you can't convince me."

Looking at Black Helena who seemed to be able to see through everything, Yaxu felt a little guilty and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Can't you be as cute and gullible as Chang Meng and the others, Black Helena?

After realizing that he couldn't possibly coax Black Helena like Elizabeth and the others, Yaxu had no choice but to add: "Anyway, only I can do this kind of thing, so just treat it as my willfulness, Black Helena."

After saying that, Yaxu walked out of the bedroom.

But just as they were walking to the door, Yaxu suddenly remembered something and reminded Helena: "By the way, when we return to the port area, please don't tell everyone in the port area about this, please."

"..."

After watching Yaxu leave, the silent Black Helena sighed from the bottom of her heart.

After all, what else could she do? She couldn't just suddenly pull out a stick and knock her commander unconscious.

Thinking of this, Black Helena continued to murmur softly: "It would be great if Miss Akagi and the others were here..."

After all, when it comes to keeping Yaxu from leaving, those "vicious and brutal" women on the Sakura Empire's flagship are undoubtedly the most professional!

at the same time--

In the sacrificial shrine at the deepest part of Ryugu Castle, in the dark space, Black Fuso, the black cat priestess, was kneeling in front of candles and incense with dignity and grace, pressing down her slender legs wrapped in dark white over-the-knee socks, praying for blessings.

In response, Hei Kaohsiung, with a grim expression, walked over slowly with his seductive legs wrapped in black boots.

Wearing a black coat that contrasted with the white uniform of the Sakura Empire, the plump Hei Kaohsiung raised his delicate face slightly, revealing his rippleless golden eyes from the hair covering his right eye.

After sensing the approach of Hei Gaoxiong behind him, Hei Fusang raised her neck slightly and asked behind her: "Can she come back to help?"

"No, she's busy with other things."

Following this brief conversation between Hei Gaoxiong and Hei Fuso, Hermit, who was hiding in the shadows in the distance, immediately frowned in dissatisfaction.

She originally thought that she could find out the whereabouts of the black company here, but she didn't expect that these Ashes ship girls didn't talk about it at all. What a waste of time.

Thinking of this, Hermit couldn't help but sigh, but the next second, Hei Takao, who was not far away, immediately tensed his body, and at the same time, his bandaged slender hand instantly clenched his ship-mounted long sword.

In response, Hei Fuso turned around and asked Hei Kaohsiung, "What's wrong?"

"There's a siren around. It should be the one Shimakaze mentioned, but I'm not sure of the exact location."
