He is the commander and the admiral.

Roger didn't know what to say to Xiao Beifang's question. Should he say that there are many steps and conditions involved? But it's a bit too much to tell a child these things...

"It takes a lot of practice to understand this kind of thing."

Akagi also gave an answer at this time, but this answer made Roger look at him in astonishment, with an expression as if asking how could you say such a thing.

And Xiao Beifang also looked as if he had suddenly realized something. He thought that this situation did make sense, but it was indeed impossible to figure it out the first time he did such a thing. However, after knowing that he could kiss Roger a few more times, Xiao Beifang was in a much happier mood.

"So that means Beifang can kiss the admiral as many times as he wants! Great!"

Although he didn't understand all this, Xiao Beifang was very happy about this matter because of his love for Roger. He put his arms around Roger's neck and moved closer to him as if he wanted to kiss him.

"Don't talk about this too often."

Roger still felt somewhat guilty about doing such things with a kid like Xiao Beifang, although he had already mentioned the destroyer and such... but Laffite and the others at least looked more mature than Xiao Beifang, so he didn't feel too much guilt or anything.

"Oh."

Xiao Beifang looked a little regretful, but the emotion soon disappeared. After all, after she understood clearly, she could actually do this many times. In her opinion, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

After dealing with Xiao Beifang's problem, Roger and others had no plans to go out. Not only because the Iron-Blooded Ship Girls outside gave people the feeling that they were a little difficult to get along with, but the atmosphere between them also made people feel like they couldn't fit in. Instead of feeling uncomfortable meeting them, it would be better to stay in the room and get along with them.

However, in a situation like this, Roger is also thinking about how to alleviate it. Anyway, since they are going to cooperate with each other again, they must find a way to resolve situations like this. However, it is still somewhat difficult to achieve this. At least now Roger has no idea. Perhaps he needs help from people like Bismarck and Frederick the Great.

Button button...

There was a knock on the door of the room. When Kaga opened the door, he saw Z23 standing at the door, pushing a food cart in his hand.

"Hello, I'm here to bring you lunch. Bismarck has considered that you might not be used to eating with us, so I brought it here specially for you. Try the main dish of meat and potatoes."

"Thank you, Z23."

Seeing Z23 coming in, Roger also thanked her.

"Nothing, it's just a trivial matter. Besides, we are cooperating with each other now, so it's just a simple mutual assistance. If you need anything, you can let us know. I'll take my leave now, please enjoy your meal."

After Z23 left the room, everyone started picking up their bowls and chopsticks and began to eat.

"It's really amazing that Bismarck could think of this situation and even specially sent someone to deliver food."

"Maybe they arranged it this way because they knew we didn't leave the room."

Akagi analyzed the situation and handed the bowl full of rice to Roger. After everyone had their fill, Roger took Xiao Beifang, who wanted to go out, for a walk outside. During this time, they saw quite a few Iron-Blooded Ship Girls, but both sides just nodded politely and did not communicate much.

But there are other exceptions, such as the one in front of us.

"Nice to meet you again, Commander."

"Hello."

Looking at Prince Eugen who was greeting him, Roger nodded and greeted him. He was not quite sure what the matter was with this guy in front of him, because he just wanted to take Xiao Beifang for a walk near the dormitory. Akagi did not follow them. After all, if there was any problem, she would be able to show up at the first time.

"Commander, are you the kind of person who has a lot of interest and thoughts about things between men and women?"

Prince Eugen came close to Roger, biting his finger with his lips, which made him look even more provocative. Roger was more concerned about what Prince Eugen asked. After all, asking this question suddenly was a suspicious thing, right? It made people wonder what the other person was thinking.

"Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"Because I saw it. I saw what the Commander and Akagi did in the corridor. I saw that guy showing such a special side in front of you, the Commander. It looked like he was completely tamed by you. I even wondered if you used this method to make Akagi really behave well."

"You think too much."

Listening to Prince Eugen's guess, Roger directly denied it. After all, such a thing was impossible no matter how you looked at it. How could Akagi say that he could always be tamed in that way? What on earth was in Prince Eugen's mind? And was the other party nearby at that time? He didn't notice it at all.

"Really? After all, seeing you guys so boldly doing that kind of thing in the corridor, I am a little curious and concerned, and I also want to know a little more."

Prince Eugen's fingers drew circles on Roger's chest, and the whole posture seemed very ambiguous, as if he was tempting and hinting at something.

However, when she reached this step, Prince Eugen felt something and looked up, and saw Akagi staring at her through the dormitory window.

"You're really sensitive. That's all I'll do for now, Commander."

Chapter 302: Deep Sea Proposal

"Commander, why are you with Prince Eugen when you're just out for a while? It was that guy who approached me first, right?"

"Well, it seems that he saw what we did in the corridor before, so he came directly to ask me if I had a lot of interest and ideas about those things."

Hearing this answer, Akagi sneered. Obviously, she regarded Prince Eugen's action as an ill intention.

"It seems that from now on, when the commander goes to the toilet, Akagi will have to follow him in."

"You need to go to the bathroom, isn't that a bit too much? Even with our current relationship, I would be embarrassed if you did something like that. And the other party wouldn't ask to do that, right? After all, even you wouldn't do such a thing, let alone Eugen."

Roger looked a little conflicted. He hoped that this would not happen. Besides, who would say that someone should squat in the toilet? Moreover, things like this were not very uncertain. Unless you had to squat in the toilet for a whole day, there would be no chance of success.

“That does make sense.”

Akagi nodded slightly and felt that what Roger said made sense. From her understanding, Prince Eugen wanted to contact Roger, probably through daily matters, not as she worried.

Seeing that Akagi was convinced by him, Roger was relieved, otherwise the days ahead would have been really difficult.

When it was time to rest at night, there was a slight dispute, which was undoubtedly about the issue of sleeping together. Neither Akagi nor New Jersey would sleep alone in bed, so the choice was definitely to sleep with Roger. However, the size of the bed could only barely support two people sleeping together, so this situation made it even more difficult for the two to prevent each other from succeeding.

But in the end, this position was taken by Xiao Beifang. The two people who had been arguing for a long time saw Xiao Beifang who was already asleep, sleeping soundly in Roger's arms. They looked depressed for a moment. If it were any other ship girl, Akagi would have thrown the other person out without mercy even if she was asleep, but it was Xiao Beifang.

Just think about it and you will know that it is impossible, and Roger will not allow such a thing.

After spending a night like this, the next day, just after Roger finished breakfast, Z23 came to ask Bismarck about the research on deep-sea power.

"We have agreed to this matter, but we hope to talk to Miss Bismarck. She must communicate with us in detail about the issues and research in this regard. Don't try anything at random. Otherwise, if any problems arise, it will not be so easy to solve. She doesn't want to fall into a bad situation before fighting the future enemy, right?"

"Okay, I understand. I'll pass it on."

Faced with Roger's warning, Z23 nodded to indicate that he had heard it clearly. No one wanted a situation like the one he described to happen.

On the other hand, after Bismarck learned that Roger agreed to the deep-sea research plan, he immediately began to prepare. At the same time, he was also preparing for the examination of Roger. After all, the relationship between the two was within the scope of the same research.

"Something like the Harbor Princess is completely a land base. The Deep Sea can also transform such a thing into the Deep Sea Princess. This kind of power is more comprehensive than the Mind Cube to some extent. No wonder it has such powerful firepower and aviation formations."

After all, if the firepower of a ship is compared with that of a base, the gap will definitely be huge. If it were not for the power of the Mind Cube itself, which allows the ship to bring about huge changes in its equipment after being transformed into a ship girl, it would really be difficult to deal with it.

What Bismarck cares most about is that these deep-sea dwellers will have protective barriers. This kind of barrier has strong defensive properties and can almost withstand many attack barriers. It is really exciting. If the principle behind it can be studied and everyone is equipped with it, it will also bring about earth-shaking changes in the situation on the entire battlefield.

However, the difficulty of this issue left Bismarck with no clue at the moment, so he turned his attention to another problem, which was the spiritual network that connected Roger and Deep Sea Princess.

“There are really a lot of exciting things.”

The more they understand the power of the deep sea, the more they realize that it contains technology that is no weaker than the Siren technology. Frederick the Great could imagine what an exciting scene it would be if the power of the deep sea was combined with the current iron-blooded technology. But now they can only watch and fantasize about all this. It will take a long time to realize such a thing, especially since what they lack most now is time.

"Just these two types of research will probably require a lot of manpower and material resources, and the time is uncertain."

Bismarck was helpless about this result. She hoped to study the power of the deep sea as soon as possible. Even if not all members of the Iron Blood could benefit from this power, at least some key personnel could get it so that they could exert unexpected effects at critical moments.

"We may need to try a different approach."

"Change? Are you planning to become a deep-sea princess? Isn't that too risky?"

This is the only way Frederick the Great can think of. After all, if one wants to understand the principle behind it, then there is no doubt that it is to become a deep-sea princess and feel the power personally. Then perhaps he can clearly know what is going on. However, such things are also full of uncertainty.

"Isn't there Akagi? With her as an example, it's not impossible."

Now only Akagi can be said to have turned into the deep sea, but not completely. The reason is the Mind Cube. However, with her existence, Bismarck has some confidence in his attempts in this regard. He is not completely in the dark and has to rely on himself to explore everything.

At this point, Bismarck was going to discuss this matter with Roger. As for the candidate to become the Princess of the Deep Sea...

Chapter 303 This is to survive

"Why would you do such a thing?! Besides, as the flagship of the Iron Blood, what if something happens to you!"

Faced with Bismarck's proposal, Roger was a little confused. Akagi did that before because he had no choice, but now Bismarck's situation was to become that of the Deep Sea Princess, which made him feel that her attitude was too decisive.

"Logically speaking, Akagi's situation was very bad last time. Since she was able to succeed, there is no reason why someone like me can't succeed now. And only in this way can I quickly understand the power of the deep sea."

"That's right..."

"So what are you worried about? Or do you think that this power in my hands will cause some problems?"

Facing Bismarck's question, Roger quickly shook his head and replied, "That's not what I meant. It's just that the situation during this process may make you feel very uncomfortable. Although the last time Akagi's situation was also due to the black mind cube, which made the transformation at that time very painful, I'm not sure if this situation will occur on a normal mind cube."

"If you are only worried about this problem, then please rest assured. I am not unable to endure the pain at all. Besides, can't you stop it yourself?"

Bismarck still had full confidence in his ability to endure pain, and believed that he would not be defeated so easily.

Looking at Bismarck's persistent attitude, Roger didn't know how to persuade him for a moment. The other party was determined to try this.

"...I understand, but if there are any problems, I will stop immediately."

"I can't stop you from this, so Commander, it's up to you to decide. Do you need any special preparations? For example, do you need to go to the sea or something like that?"

Bismarck asked this question. After all, Akagi's transformation was completed on the sea surface, not to mention that the power of the deep sea itself can only play a greater role at sea.

"I can't really explain this, but it can definitely be done better at sea."

Roger also agreed with this idea and felt that the transformation at sea could make the situation more efficient.

"Then I'll go get ready."

Watching Bismarck leaving, Roger couldn't help but look at Frederick the Great.

"In a situation like this, why don't you try to persuade her? Her behavior is really a bit outrageous."

"For a question like this, what kind of explanation do you want to hear, Commander?"

The answer given by Frederick the Great made Roger look surprised. Are there multiple explanations for such a thing?

"Just give me the most direct explanation."

"The most direct explanation is that they wanted to survive. We knew we were facing such a powerful opponent, so if we didn't work hard, we would have no chance of survival. We would even face the situation where everything would be destroyed, and only a small number of lucky people would survive. Under this kind of pressure, it is understandable that Bismarck would act like this."

After all, the road ahead is already in front of us, it's either life or death. If we don't want to end up like other worlds, we have to make use of everything we can, so that we can have hope of changing the outcome.

"Or do you want to hear another reason?"

"What other reasons are there?"

Seeing Roger's curious eyes, Frederick the Great smiled and came to him. He raised his hand and stroked his head like a gentle mother, making Roger want to lean on her arms.

"That's because she believes you can do it, so that's why she dares to do it."

"Huh? Is that why?"

Roger didn't know how to complain about Bismarck's thoughts for a moment. As the flagship of the Iron Blood, it was obviously shouldering an important responsibility, but it was still like this. It was a bit too casual!

"Do you think it's unreliable? But in fact, the two reasons I mentioned are all true. Not only is it because of the pressure brought by those things, but also because of the confidence you give her, because she believes that you will definitely not let anything happen to her."

"So this means that all the pressure is on me! Really..."

Hearing this answer, Roger couldn't help but sigh, while Frederick the Great still had a smile on his face.

"She may also want someone who can share some of the pressure, and you are such a person. With you around, Bismarck may be more confident. This is also the conclusion she has drawn after observing all your performance so far."

"Haha... I don't feel happy at all when I hear this..."

Things were now like this, and Roger didn't dwell on it too much. He left and headed towards the Iron Blood port, ready to wait for Bismarck to arrive.

"But I'm almost used to this kind of situation."

Roger could feel what kind of responsibilities he had among the many ship girls. No matter whether they were commanders or lovers, they were one of the few motivations for those ship girls in the increasingly severe battles. Therefore, as this proportion became larger and larger, Roger also felt the pressure. At this time, those ship girls also became the motivation for him to persevere. Both sides could no longer do without each other.

After arriving at the Iron Blood port, Roger did not wait too long before Bismarck came over with some emergency equipment placed on the shore in order to provide timely treatment in case of any accidents. Although she believed in Roger, she still had to make the necessary preparations. If she did not prepare anything, she would be a fool, and there would be nothing to complain about if something happened.

"Are you ready? If you agree, come to the surface. I will use the power of the deep sea to corrode you."

"I see."

Bismarck did not hesitate and walked directly to the sea. At this time, many ship girls gathered near the port. After all, no one would be uninterested in such a situation, especially when the person doing it was Bismarck. It would be difficult for them not to care.

As Roger's hand reached into the sea, the blue water was contaminated and turned dark and turbid at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Chapter 304 Satisfactory Results

As the sea water changed, Bismarck also felt the sea water under her feet making her feel cold all over, which made her realize that the power of the deep sea began to take effect.

"This kind of power...if it's not under control, it's really terrifying."

Feeling the bone-deep cold, Bismarck also felt a force emerging from the sea water beneath her feet, as if it wanted to drag her to the bottom of the sea. She forced herself to suppress her emotions and not resist, otherwise the whole thing would easily fail.

But after experiencing it personally, she finally understood what this power was like. Obviously, such a transformation is too painful and uncomfortable for a person who still has self-awareness.

Bismarck's face showed discomfort and pain, and this scene made the onlookers a little worried. Only Akagi looked very calm. As someone who had experienced such a thing, she knew very well the pain of this transformation. Not to mention that her situation at that time was much more painful than Bismarck's current one. At one point she felt that she might be going crazy.

"Bismarck, is everything alright?"
