The time-based admiral of KanColle

Seeing this, Brest smiled without saying anything, but took the unyielding little hand and returned to their guest suite.

However, not long after, Brest and the others who were sitting around the low table soon noticed that a strange atmosphere was spreading here.

Strange, is this hotel so quiet?

It feels like this... just like their desolate and deserted island church.

The silent atmosphere and the ticking of the clock on the wall made Xia Fei and the others, who didn't know what to say for a moment, sit there awkwardly, making the atmosphere even more subtle.

Fortunately, at this moment, a series of regular footsteps soon came from outside.

"Oh, the human is finally back?"

Hearing this noise, just as Xiafei, who was using a knife to ease the embarrassment, was about to get up to greet Yaxu, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps, and soon, the graceful Da Vinci poked her pretty head out from the half-open paper sliding door.

"Huh? When I heard the noise, I thought Yaxu was here, but it turned out to be you?"

Da Vinci, wearing a zip-up swimsuit and swaying his playful golden twin ponytails, jumped in full force after he finished speaking, then sat cross-legged next to Unyielding and asked curiously, "Hey, so where is the human now? It's just right that I want to show him the automatic signature that I just invented."

"This is a machine that can imitate handwriting. Only with this, he can secretly imitate the handwriting of Mr. Roman to sign a check (whispering)."

Listening to Da Vinci's outrageous words that didn't sound right, Buqu, with his cheeks slightly puffed up, frowned and responded: "Well... Buqu doesn't know either, it seems he went out!"

"He went out? Weird, doesn't he like staying at home like me?"

"Oh? Did you say the human went out?"

As soon as Leonardo da Vinci finished his confused words, the beautiful Roma quickly walked in from outside.

Deep sea blue wavy hair adorned with a luxurious golden crown, outlined by the red and white dress bodice, the mature and graceful Roma then lowered her golden and cyan eyes, and said with a little displeasure: "It's really disrespectful that you didn't come to greet Roma in person."

"Well, we are in such a hurry, Yaxu certainly doesn't know how long it will take us to pack our bags and come back."

Garibaldi, holding a plate of chocolate snacks from the kitchen, blinked his amber eyes and walked in with Pesagno and others, who had never stayed at the Yaxu Hotel and seemed a little reserved.

So the next second, Bolzano and the others, with different moods, sat around the low table with Xiafei and the others.

"Come to think of it, it seems like we haven't had so many ships gathered together for a long time."

Looking at Bolzano and the others whom he had not seen for a long time, Joffre, who seldom left the church, glanced at Pessagno and the others with some emotion, and added: "We used to go sailing together occasionally, but now we basically do our own things."

"Indeed, if I must say, it has been several years since we have been together."

After saying that, Alfredo, who had his sunglasses pinned on his forehead, couldn't help but stick out his tongue mischievously, then he held up the camera in his hand with great interest, pointed it at Buqu and joked, "So today, let me, Alfredo, interview Miss Brest, a clergyman of the church, who is known as the angel of the sea, about her feelings at this moment~?"

"Ah~ The scenes of meeting old friends after a long absence are very touching in poems."

With her cheerful tone and her cute elf ears slightly tilted up, Brest also cooperated with Alfredo's joke.

After all, for their long career as ship girls, not seeing each other for a few years is not something that is difficult to accept. In fact, they have an indifferent concept of time. A ship girl like Xiafei, who is cold and has no worldly desires, can even stare at the sea for three days and three nights without getting tired of it.

"Anyway, no matter what the reason is, call the human back quickly, otherwise who will serve tea to the great Rome!?"

Looking at Bolzano and the others who were sitting here doing nothing, Roma, who was sitting on the hanging chair, raised his slender legs proudly and elegantly, and then calmly urged outside the corridor: "Hurry up and call him to come back, Pompey."

"Huh? But Captain Pompey didn't record his contact information."

In response to Rome's complaints, Pompey, who came in a little later, pulled the sleepy Empire with his natural hair sticking up, pursed his lips slightly aggrieved, and then hurriedly explained: "Because, because the human is not Captain Pompey's subordinate, so I don't have his phone number."

"Then let someone check it out right away..."

"Huh? Is it time for lunch? By the way, why did the great empire come here?"

Letting her soft, matte-brown hair fall down behind her waist, Empire listened to the conversation between Rome and the others. She now raised her pretty head softly, half-narrowed her turquoise eyes, and looked around with a little confusion.

The dark green cape with a white and gold outer layer matched with a slim-fitting Sardinian uniform skirt. After thinking for a moment, the Empire turned to Rome calmly and asked, "It should be time for a bath soon. Is there a bathhouse here?"

Seeing the Empire suddenly tilting his head to act cute, Rome, who was feeling a little annoyed for some reason, naturally did not answer. Instead, he lifted up the heavy breasts of the queen impatiently.

In response to this, except for Empire and her friends, Brest and her friends also showed some worried expressions.

So where is Yaxu? How come such a big human being suddenly disappeared! ?

at the same time--

At the top of the bustling Donghuang Mountain, there was a wide martial arts training ground surrounded by stepped auditoriums, and the tourists who had paid for their tickets were already sitting in seats similar to those in a football field, chatting and laughing.

After all, the Donghuang martial arts competition was seen as a very good entertainment program by outsiders, and there were even many people selling snacks and drinks on the scene.

At this time, on the mahogany building right in front of the entire circular training ground, behind the giant curtain window with the widest view, Ruprecht, like a willful young lady, was sitting on the thick velvet sofa of the curtain window, with her white silk legs lifted up, and she snorted coldly while looking at the training ground below.

"So, how long will it take before it starts?"

"Who knows? I let my disciples handle the specific organizational procedures."

Seeing this, Binjiang, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but smile and suggested: "If you think it's too slow, why don't you come down with me and have an exhibition match~?"

"Well! I don't want to fight with you on land under such a scorching sun!"

"Haha, you really lack chivalrous romance, Ruprecht."

Chapter 1454: Big Sister Binjiang’s Sect Competition!

At noon, in the largest dance practice field in the Donghuang sect—

As an entertainment program of the so-called sect competition, a group of strong young men in disciple uniforms were lined up in an orderly manner in a large queue, each holding a weapon such as a spear or a sword, and performing powerful martial arts performances.

The lively atmosphere was like that of a football stadium, with the noise of people shouting and cheering. Groups of tourists were cheering on the stepped auditorium surrounding the martial arts training ground. As for outside the ground, various cameras and broadcast lenses had already been set up early.

"They are really noisy like a group of monkeys. What are the people down there doing? Aren't they going to hold a martial arts competition?"

Gazing at the grand spectacle below through the giant curtain window that provided the widest view, Ruprecht, who was always impatient, leaned on the thick velvet sofa behind him and patted his mechanical ship-mounted dragon crawling on the carpet, while looking at Binjiang who was meditating not far away.

"Well, because the disciples in charge of management have negotiated with the TV station for the broadcasting rights, there will be some entertainment programs inserted. You just have to be patient for a while."

"Strange, but didn't you start the sect competition a few days ago? Why hasn't it officially started yet?"

With her pink hair adorned with red and black mechanical horns, Ruprecht, who exuded the aura of a young lady, couldn't help but raise her eyebrows in confusion.

Hearing this, Binjiang raised her lips and stood up, stretched her waist like an alluring queen, then put one hand on her waist and explained generously: "The selection competition for disciples in the sect was held a while ago, and these two days will include two contestants selected from outside, and a total of eight people will be held in the formal elimination competition."

"But every year it's your disciples who win the championship. Is it necessary for you to deliberately spend time to find contestants from outside?"

"Hehe~ You don't understand this."

Binjiang, swinging her black ponytail with golden highlights, walked to the giant viewing window and smiled meaningfully, "A mysterious masked knight wearing a bamboo hat suddenly killed all the people in the sect overnight, leaving only the leader to meet him alone. Don't you think this plot development is in line with the romance of martial arts~?"

"In short, there are always people who are better than you. I am looking forward to someone coming to challenge me."

"Humph! If you really want someone to cause trouble for you, why don't you openly insult Roma and her group of Sardinian ship girls as hairless white-green peacocks? The next day, she will bring her ships to the foot of the mountain and use the battleship's naval guns to flatten your sect and the mountain together."

Seeing that Binjiang was expecting someone to come and mess up her place, Ruprecht, who was too lazy to say anything, took out a cute yellow chicken eye mask and put it on. Then she said impatiently, "In that case, call me after the game is over. I have no interest in fighting between humans. In my opinion, they are not as interesting as shooting each other with submachine guns."

While Ruprecht and Binjiang were talking to each other, at the same time, in an ancient box-style house in the left area of ​​the Donghuang Sect, Yaxu, who was standing on a boxing ring, was panting and looking at the muscular man who fell in front of him, then slowly raised his right hand.

So the next second, the medical staff waiting outside the ring immediately stepped forward and carried the fallen man away on a stretcher.

In response to this, Yaxu, who was holding the number plate, looked at the bustling crowd around him with a subtle mood, and then sighed sincerely.

Although he could understand the idea of ​​holding a tournament to select two places, he always felt as if he was participating in a boxing match, which was a bit too much for an ordinary hotel owner.

Anyway, let's finish it early, after all, Miss Xiafei and the others are probably back at the hotel.

Thinking of this, Yaxu suddenly felt a little uneasy and signaled the staff in charge of recording to arrange the next opponent directly and canceled the rest session.

And at the same time——

Inside an elegant hotel in Bailu Palau, an oppressive atmosphere is permeating in an elegant suite room.

A group of young, beautiful and charming ship girls were sitting around the low table at this time, maintaining an awkward silence with each other, except for Empire who lay down on the spot and fell asleep with her pillow in her arms.

Didn't expect that the atmosphere between them would become so stiff when Yaxu was not around?

Seeing that Roma and Brest, who were teasing each other yesterday, now looked listless, Garibaldi sighed softly and then lay down on the table silently.

Seeing this, Pessagno and the others on the other side looked at each other in confusion.

Although they all knew that their Sardinian leader, Roma, seemed to be very fond of a human from the outside world recently, they didn't expect that just his absence would be enough to make Roma feel lost and bored.

Just as Oriani and the others were secretly sighing, the Empire with its misty brown hair suddenly sat up and said to Rome expressionlessly, "The great Empire is hungry and wants to eat."

"Well, please be patient. I will ask the chef team to come over."

Seeing that their great empire was about to "starve to death", the meticulous Bolzano quickly stood up, puffed up her black and white uniform, and prepared to call for the Sardinian Empire's royal chef team to drive over.

But the next second, the slightly unhappy Roma immediately lowered his dazzling golden and blue eyes, and reminded Bolzano sharply: "If you are hungry, go back and eat, don't hang around here."

"Indeed, the genius Leonardo da Vinci also prefers the meals cooked by Yaxu."

Echoing Rome's rejection, Da Vinci, who was wearing a zippered swimsuit, also lay limply on the table, resting his pretty head on his soft arms, and said playfully with a smile: "Because he will test new kitchen inventions with Da Vinci, hehe."

"Wait, does that mean that outrageous cream volcano the day before yesterday was your masterpiece, Miss Da Vinci?"

"Well, it's very interesting, right?"

Listening to the conversation between Xiafei and Da Vinci, Garibaldi smiled and poked his head in, saying, "Indeed, the honey pancake with an ice cream boat inside that Mr. Yaxu made earlier is really full of surprises."

"Really? Compared to those surprises, I actually like Mr. Yaxu more because he let Buqu and I make the snack called Dorayaki with our own hands."

In response to Brest's gentle supplement, Roma, who was not far away, couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

After all, compared to those chefs who dared not even breathe in front of her, the hotel services provided by Yaxu, who was becoming more and more familiar with them, really made her feel a lot more comfortable.

If I have to describe it, it's like the difference between going to a barbecue restaurant and having a barbecue outdoors with a group of friends, chatting and laughing. Of course, more importantly, the human who is obsessed with Royal Ship Girls is much more interesting.

Moreover, she hopes that one day in the future, Yaxu can help her to piss them off (laughs).

Thinking of this, Roma, who was looking at the guest room in front of him that was the only one without Yaxu, couldn't help but lower his eyes quickly.

For some reason, she felt a little unmotivated when she thought about Yaxu not being around.

Just as Roma and Buqu were losing their spirits because of Yaxu's absence, at the same time, on the other side, in the classical suite next door, Bismarck and the others were quietly staying in the guest room with the help of the invisible equipment of Embers and the others.

"Apparently, they're starting to find it boring to be here without the commander."

Watching Roma and the others in the next room through the monitoring equipment, Enterprise, who was drinking tea silently, couldn't help but lower his eyes with some emotion.

Unconsciously, I began to regard Yaxu as a close friend, and I became more and more accustomed to confiding my inner thoughts to him and sharing my interests and hobbies, until I finally began to enjoy chatting and laughing with him to pass the time.

Although they usually have no idea what's going on, once Yaxu suddenly disappears, they will soon have a subtle feeling of loss.

This is the absence of Yaxu syndrome, also known as the sudden loss of commander syndrome, and they are obviously in the first stage.

Just like them before, starting from initial admiration, they gradually wanted to stay by the Commander's side...

"By the way, don't you want to go next door and say hello to them, Richelieu and Veneto?"

Feeling the particularly depressing atmosphere, Rossia sighed as if to ease the mood, then turned sideways to look at Richelieu and the others who were still feeling guilty about what happened last night.

In response, Richelieu, who was hesitant to speak, silently placed his tender hand on the plump thigh wrapped in orange-red stockings under the table.

As for Veneto, who was radiating a relaxed aura, he smiled and responded, "Ah, Empire is as cute as before. However, now is not the time to greet them, because... I would rather let the Commander introduce me to them."

As Veneto finished speaking, the flagships present could not help but purse their lower lips.

Yes, in fact, they had no idea what to do next and could only stay in the hotel awkwardly.

Thinking of this, Bismarck couldn't help but pick up the two letters written by Frederick the Great and Black Helena.

"Haha, claiming to be a letter from my ex-wife who has lost her memory, it's really a cunning method, but it is indeed a risk-free method."

Thinking that Black Helena and the others were smart enough to let Black Memphis deliver the letter, Bismarck quickly realized that the Emperor and the others might have vaguely anticipated what happened last night.

"By the way, the commander is now..."

Looking at this group of poor flagships that had completely "lost their commanders and their beloved husbands", the Black Royal Ark not far away couldn't help but say with some sympathy: "Hei Gaoxiong and the others have already followed. Lord Yaxu seems to be participating in some martial arts competition on the mountain, as if for the prize money."

"Participate in the competition? In that case, does that mean..."

"Yes, it seems to be a competition held by a certain ship girl."

Just as Jeanbal and the others finished listening to the Black Royal Ark's supplement with subtle expressions, a burst of fierce questioning suddenly came from the guest room next door.

"What did you say? Human, he was sent to the hospital last night because of excessive blood loss!?"

"No, that's right. And he came to the hospital several times in the middle of the night to be transferred. According to Captain Pompey's investigation, the human seemed to have some serious illness and the doctor recommended that he be transferred to another hospital."

Looking at Roma and the others whose emotions suddenly became tense, the petite Pompey couldn't help but hide behind the sliding door.

As for Brest and the others whose pupils shrank slightly, they fell into a long silence at this time.

On the other side, as time passed, it was finally getting close to evening. After going through various competitions and selections, Yaxu finally changed into fixed loose clothes and officially stood on the left side of the circular martial arts training ground.

Just as he came on stage, a lot of booing and cheering sounds instantly boiled up from the audience seats on all sides, making Yaxu, who was holding the wooden spear, couldn't help but start taking deep breaths.

Yes, after going through various complicated processes and screening, he finally entered the official competition.

After signing various waivers, he was asked to choose a wooden weapon and soon faced his first opponent.
