He is the commander and the admiral.

Roger couldn't help but fall into deep thought. After all, all the empty rooms closer to his own room had already been occupied. Even if he wanted to give them away, there was nothing he could do.

"Then it doesn't matter."

Qiye shook her head to indicate that it was okay. She was mentally prepared for this kind of thing. It would be best if it happened, but if not, it would not be a big deal. After all, the key situation now was how to quickly narrow the gap.

"Then let's make preparations. Tomorrow we will leave for Sakura. I'll trouble you with the arrangements, Wales. The same goes for the company's accommodation."

"Ok."

After Enterprise and the Prince of Wales left the office together, they looked at each other.

"Then please take good care of each other in the future, Enterprise. If you need anything in the future, just let me know."

"I understand, and I won't be left behind for too long."

To this the Prince of Wales merely smiled and made no reply, and after this exchange the two men parted ways.

And after the second day...

"Will you also come with us, Commander?"

Mikasa was a little surprised to see Roger preparing to board the command ship and set off at the port. In this matter, she thought it was just a matter of seeking some personnel help, but she had never thought of asking him to participate in it. After all, it was her own business.

"Well, I think I still need to follow you a little bit, but don't worry, I won't interfere with your conversation with Akagi and the others after they meet. I'm just being cautious to avoid any bad situations. If there are any problems, I can help you in time."

"Well, thank you again for your help, Commander."

After everything was ready, Roger boarded the command ship and sailed out of the port. In the command room on the ship, he was thinking about what would happen next.

The fleet sailed all the way and soon arrived at the waters of the Sakura Islands. Later, carrier-based aircraft of the Sakura Islands could be seen flying in the sky. It seemed that the Sakura Islands knew about this situation, so they made preparations in advance.

"It's really Mikasa-senpai..."

On the other side, Shokaku, who was controlling the carrier-based aircraft patrol, had a complicated expression, and the same was true for Zuikaku next to him.

"Sister Shokaku, are we really going to have a conflict with Mikasa-senpai? I really can't accept that kind of thing."

Zuikaku was not very willing to follow Akagi's decision. After all, her respect for Mikasa, her senior, was much higher than that for Akagi and the others.

"I don't think much about this matter. I just know that it is really irresponsible for a group of seniors to push such a thing onto us."

Shokaku's tone became resentful, saying that Akagi, as a senior, only bullied juniors like him, and now even said that she would hand such things over to them.

"Just give it a try."

"But I am looking forward to fighting with Mikasa-senpai once!"

Zuikaku was eager to try this out, wanting to see what the strength of this senior was like.

"Then let's go over and greet them."

Seeing Mikasa getting closer, Shokaku and Zuikaku walked over, and their arrival caught Mikasa's attention, especially Zuikaku's eagerness to fight, which made people feel what she was thinking at the moment.

"It seems that there are also outstanding juniors among the Sakura Empire."

Chapter 142 Exercise Competition

"So what are you here for?"

After sighing for a while, Mikasa looked at Shokaku and Zuikaku seriously. In the current situation, she was not very clear whether these juniors came here to greet her or to stop her.

"Mikasa-senpai, we are here to conduct an exercise with you."

"exercise?"

Mikasa was slightly stunned when she heard this answer. After all, this answer was somewhat unexpected. But was she trying to delay time by doing this?

"Yes, after all, although Akagi-senpai also told us to do so, it is difficult for us to refuse something like this, so we will just use the excuse of an exercise to compete with you."

"I see. If that's the case, I accept this drill. Let me see the strength of the younger generation of the Sakura Empire."

Understanding Shokaku and Zuikaku's ideas, Mikasa smiled and accepted the request for the exercise competition.

"So offended!"

Zuikaku took the first step, but she did not release any carrier-based aircraft. Instead, she rushed directly towards Mikasa for close combat.

"Instead of using that plane, choose to fight?"

Mikasa was still a little surprised by this. In her opinion, the current time was completely different from before when they only relied on artillery fire. Those new aircraft played a more important role in the battle. Therefore, she was still a little surprised when she saw Zuikaku's actions.

"But I can see that you are very confident in your skills, but your move is too obvious!"

The moment Zuikaku was about to attack, Mikasa had already seen through her movements and drew the katana from her waist and launched an attack.

"Have you been seen through?"

Zuikaku stopped his charge, raised his sword to block the attack, and then immediately launched a counterattack. The fierce collision between the weapons made a sound like hammering iron.

"Commander, is it okay to let them fight there like this?"

Javelin couldn't help but ask Roger as he looked at the situation. If they stopped here now, wouldn't it allow Akagi to make more preparations?

"It's okay. Besides, I've said before that this matter mainly depends on Mikasa herself. This is her business. If she doesn't specify anything, our current task is just to watch and then help her when she needs it. And you can see that Mikasa looks very happy now."

Roger looked at Mikasa who was fighting with Zuikaku with a smile on his face. This smile was not because of the fight, but because he was happy with Zuikaku's performance.

"Ha! As expected of Mikasa-senpai... I feel like I'm no match for her at all!"

After the battle, Zuikaku couldn't help but sigh that her attack did not achieve the desired results at all. She felt regretful but also felt it was natural.

"What on earth are you talking about! You can't do it like this now! Use all your strength! Don't worry about hurting me! Throw away all your hesitation! Use your momentum to risk everything! Otherwise..."

Mikasa fully understood Zuikaku's situation, and at the same time, she also thought that the opponent's strength should not be just that. After all, everything now was completely due to the influence of mentality. Without the idea of ​​gaining an absolute victory, how could there be any possibility of winning without such an idea?

Zuikaku: !!!

A strong sense of crisis arose in Zuikaku's heart, and her body reacted at that moment. She dodged Mikasa's attack by leaning sideways. The sharp blade brushed past her nose, and after dodging, she subconsciously counterattacked.

"Pretty!"

Mikasa, who was retreating, couldn't help but praise. There was a cut on the right side of her clothes on her chest. If she had dodged slower, she would have been hit by this counterattack.

"Let's stop here! Mikasa-senpai, Zuikaku, if you continue, you'll really get hurt!"

When Xianghe saw the current situation, she hurried forward to persuade them. She was really worried that the two of them would get injured in the fight.

"Phew~ Thank you very much for your guidance, Mikasa-senpai."

After taking a breath, Zuikaku thanked Mikasa.

"This is just a piece of cake. You still have to rely on yourself. After all, your path can only depend on yourself, and all I can do is to help you."

"So has Akagi made any other preparations?"

"We don't know about this either. The mission we received was just to stop Senior Mikasa here. As for the others, we don't know if they have accepted any missions."

Zuikaku shook his head to indicate that he wasn't very clear about it either, but Mikasa wasn't too surprised by this situation.

"But Akagi-senpai probably didn't do much. No matter how you say it, it's hard to accept that you, Mikasa-senpai, were prevented from returning to Sakura Empire. Zuikaku and I are probably the only ones who have received such a mission."

After all, Shokaku's expression here was quite resentful, and he started muttering about his dissatisfaction with his seniors in the First Air Force, leaving Mikasa at a loss as to what to say.

Mikasa then continued to move forward, but nothing happened along the way, and they arrived at the port of Sakura Empire very smoothly. This situation surprised Mikasa and Roger and his party.

"When I heard Akagi say that before, I thought he would do something special, but now he just said he would send the 5th carrier fighter to intercept, and that's all?"

"She should focus her actions on other things. She won't give up so easily on something she wants to do."

Based on their understanding of Akagi, Enterprise doesn't think that things will end like this. And seeing Mikasa about to enter the port area of ​​​​Empire State, they have no way of knowing what will happen next.

"But she wouldn't do anything rash. After all, if she attacked Mikasa in public, the other Sakura Empire girls would definitely not ignore it."

After entering the Sakura City Port, Mikasa couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the huge changes in the port.

"The Sakura Empire has changed so much."

"Welcome back, Mikasa-senpai."

Hearing these words of welcome, Mikasa looked at Akagi and Kaga who appeared in front of her.

"Please follow us from now on. After all, both of us should have a lot to talk about. Let's go to a suitable place to talk."

"Of course, I really want to know what the Sakura Empire wants to do now."

Chapter 143 New Members of Hong Kong District

"What happened?"

Roger had been waiting outside, but as time went by, he still didn't see any results. This situation made people feel anxious.

"Commander and the others are coming out."

The carrier-based aircraft of the Glory immediately spotted Mikasa coming out of the port area of ​​Sakura City, but besides Hiei, there were also Shokaku, Zuikaku and Ayanami, which made people a little confused.

"Commander, let's go back."

"Eh? Go back? Could it be that the Sakura Empire still doesn't intend to let you go back?"

Roger couldn't help but think of this result, but even though he thought so, he didn't see any sadness on Mikasa's face.

"Yes or no, let's talk about it on the way back."

When Mikasa talked about this, her expression was quite complicated. Obviously there were some other reasons involved.

"Also, they will follow me to the port area next."

Then Mikasa turned the topic to the three people around her, and this situation made Roger even more confused. The Sakura Empire actually sent people to him? What was it trying to do?

"Although this matter was expected, it still fell on Zuikaku and me in the end. They are really a group of conscienceless seniors. All the hard work is done by juniors like us."

Shokaku was wiping her eyes with a sad look on her face, making people feel that she was like the tragic heroine in a melodrama. However, in comparison, Zuikaku seemed to be in high spirits, especially after seeing Enterprise.

"Gray Ghost! I'll finally have more time to compete with you from now on! I will definitely beat you! Just wait and see!"

Enterprise looked at Zuikaku who was in high spirits, and the word "trouble" popped up in her mind. She didn't want to waste her time with a guy like him. Wouldn't it be nice to be with the commander? What was the point of running off to be with a girl?

"Does this mean that Ayanami and I can play together again in the future?"

When Javelin heard this, she happily ran to Ayanami and held her hand. This was something she had always thought about, living together again like they did in the past, and now it had really come true.

At this moment, a faint smile appeared on Ayanami's calm face. It was obvious that she was also very happy about this matter.

Although Roger was very surprised by the current situation, since it was already like this, he did not dwell on it too much. After all, this kind of thing did not do him any harm. He then began to learn the details from Mikasa.

"Establish a new Sakura port area?"

"Yes, but I don't think this is necessary. After all, the commander's port area is already very suitable, so I think it's OK to just join the commander's port area."

Mikasa told her plan and chose to directly join Roger's port area instead of looking for a suitable place outside to build a new Sakura port area.

"But why do you want to do this? Not only that, but you also want to leave Sakura Empire with the Five Carriers and Ayanami."

"The reason? Maybe it's to prevent the Sakura Empire from getting into trouble all of a sudden."

Speaking of this, Mikasa's expression became slightly complicated.

"Akagi and the others still intend to go down that path, but they themselves are not very clear about what will happen. So when they have different opinions, they hope that I can take some of the Sakura Empire's shipgirls away from the Sakura Empire port area. That way, we can avoid any disputes between us. It is also to prevent the Sakura Empire from having no chance again because of her choice."

"If you say there is a problem, then why do you still want to do such a thing! Is Akagi an idiot? How dare she continue to do such a thing? What does she think of the lives of all her companions!"

Roger said angrily that he could not accept that Akagi knew the danger of the matter but still took his companions on this road instead of choosing to stop.

"Are you saying you didn't try to stop it?"

"I'm sorry... I couldn't convince them about this matter. Besides, if they are determined to move forward on this path, I think if I try to stop them..."

After hearing this answer, Roger also understood Mikasa's thoughts. After all, it was just about respecting their decisions.

"They have now reached a cooperation with the Siren, and the reason for this is to be able to obtain an important item to save the future world, but Akagi and the others haven't figured out what it is yet, and there may be a reason why the Siren deliberately didn't tell us."

"Tsk! He really is a guy who has no memory. Or is he involved with the Siren?"

Roger couldn't help but feel angry at Akagi's choice. Couldn't he learn from his mistakes? He still did such a thing until now.

"So they won't stop until they get the results they want?"

"That should be the case. That's why you asked me to bring them here because you were worried about these issues."

After almost understanding the situation, Roger took a deep breath.

"I see. Anyway, I have no objection to your joining us. You are welcome."

"Thank you, Commander."
