He is the commander and the admiral.

When talking about the future, Roger first thought of Kaohsiung and the companies about META that he had met before. Their affairs, to some extent, might be the future of everyone.

"I guess so, but they didn't explain it very clearly, as if they didn't want me to know too much. They just said that if we elevate our existence, then what we will face in the future is only destruction and despair. They also let us see some scenes."

Speaking of this, Akagi's face became much more serious, and it was obvious that what she saw was not something good.

"So because of this, the Sakura Empire chose to cooperate with the Sirens? Was it to avoid the crisis in the future and not be able to face it?"

The Enterprise still felt that the Sakura Empire's idea was somewhat unreliable. Did the Siren guys say this out of kindness and want to take them away from that kind of thing? It didn't seem like that at all! They just wanted to improve them and make them the subjects of experiments.

"You can say that, but we didn't say we completely believed it. After all, there's no need to refuse to improve our strength, right? This is also a good thing for us."

The company did not say anything about this. There is no way that Sakura Empire would miss out on such an opportunity to make itself stronger.

"It seems that it is not so easy to fully understand the matter of Sirens."

After thinking for a while, Roger said, "Akagi, can you contact Siren now?"

"Eh? Now? Commander, do you mean to..."

Akagi looked at Roger in surprise, and the others also looked at him in disbelief.

"To be honest, I really want to give it a try if I have the chance to come into contact with the Siren. Besides, because of the black mind cube, it may be only a matter of time before I come into contact with her. So now that it's like this, I should seize this opportunity and give it a try."

After listening to Roger's explanation, many people still raised objections.

"This is too risky! Commander! If you suddenly attack me when I meet you, it will be too dangerous. Let Akagi deal with those Sirens by herself."

Enterprise did not approve of Roger's behavior. How could a commander meet with the enemies in person?

"Even if we want to talk to them, we can just rely on communication equipment. This way, at least there won't be too much danger."

"That's fine, but if that's the case, will it be okay for you, Akagi, to come into direct contact with the other party?"

Just letting Akagi take responsibility on his own, Roger couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Don't worry, Commander. I have done this many times and I know how to deal with them."

Faced with Roger's concern, Akagi's face was filled with a happy smile, and Roger felt relieved after hearing what she said.

"Then you can contact the other party and see if they can solve your problem and whether you can communicate with them."

"I see."

Akagi did not refuse, and soon contacted Siren through a specially encrypted communication as Roger wished.

"Ah? Why did you come here all of a sudden? I thought you were dead."

When the Purifier's voice appeared, everyone began to listen attentively.

"Really? Do you really want me to die immediately?"

"It's just that I've seen it a little more often, but I've never seen a situation like this before. Sure enough, things are not as expected."

Listening to the Purifier's sigh, Akagi was not surprised or suspicious. After all, it was now clear that other worlds existed, so it was not strange that there was another Akagi.

"So what's the matter that brought you here now?"

"Are you interested in the black Rubik's Cube? Then help me take it out of my body."

"Is that the case? If that's the case, we can give it a try. That thing itself is also our target, so we can help you with it. We can even help you deal with it."

The Purifier's answer made Roger feel relieved. They did have a way to solve this problem. He then signaled Akagi to talk about the next thing.

"There's one more thing my commander wants to talk to you about."

Just after he finished speaking, everyone heard the sound of something falling to the ground from the other end of the communication.

Chapter 236 Competing with each other

"Huh? Your commander wants to talk to me?"

Soon after the commotion, the Purifier's voice sounded again, and at the same time, as if he had heard something unbelievable, he thought it was somewhat unbelievable that Roger would talk to him.

“It’s incredible, but it’s actually the case.”

Akagi also understood the other party's surprise. After all, as a representative of the human side, it was hard to believe that he would suddenly contact the enemy Sirens.

"I'm the commander of Azur Lane, so can we chat for a moment? Purifier."

"Eh?! Are you serious? Ah, I see. Is there anything you want to tell me?"

After being surprised for a moment, the Purifier pretended to be calm and asked.

"First of all, it's about the black mind cube. What exactly is this thing? You should know it very well, right?"

"Well, I know a lot about this, but I haven't learned too much about the specifics. I can only explain that this thing is a completely meta-ized mind cube. You should have seen the effects of this thing before, right?"

"Well, but I'm curious why this thing happened here."

Roger didn't think that this thing was developed in his world, not to mention that this thing appeared in Sakura Empire a long time ago. When this thing appeared, not to mention the Ship Girls, even the Sirens didn't appear.

"He traveled from another world. This situation is not a very special thing. After all, we Sirens can easily do this kind of thing."

"So what did Observer Alpha do before in order to take away this black mind cube?"

The question asked by Roger made the Purifier silent. When he thought that this question really could not get any answer, he heard the Purifier's voice again.

"I just asked about it. This thing doesn't have much use for us. Its biggest use is just to decipher it. We can't say anything more about it."

Listening to the answer from the home purifier, Roger was a little surprised. Did he have to specifically ask someone else to answer him?

"So is there anything else you want to ask?"

"Ah... not for now..."

After being asked this question, Roger didn't know what to ask for a moment, and he felt that the other party's attitude was a bit strange.

"You can discuss the rest with the other party."

Roger left the remaining questions to Akagi. After all, she was very familiar with this aspect. He just needed to wait for the results and there was no need to get involved.

"Okay, then regarding the matter of the black mind cube, I want you to help me take it out of my body. As for the disposal issue..."

"Hehe~ If you still want it, we wouldn't mind giving it to you."

After the person he was talking to became Akagi, the Purifier's attitude changed a little, and the tone and content of his speech made Akagi quite unhappy.

"After all, we don't know if you will use something like this to do something harmful to us."

"Huh? Why should we use something that we hate to death to deal with you? If we don't have a need, we don't even want to touch this thing."

The Purifier's attitude towards this black mind cube was full of disgust. It was obvious that this thing was simply an annoying existence in her eyes.

This tone, which didn't sound fake, surprised Akagi. Siren's attitude towards this thing was so bad. Could it be that the other party had also suffered from this thing? Otherwise, he wouldn't have answered like this.

"Besides, do you have any choice? If you don't let us help you get it out, that thing will be like a time bomb that could explode at any time. Do you want something like this to exist around you?"

"Tsk!"

Akagi felt even more unhappy after listening to this, but the current situation was indeed like this. They couldn't find a suitable solution now, and the only one who could provide help was Siren. If they didn't want to be caused any problems by this black mind cube again, they had no choice but to let the other party come.

"I understand, but there is a prerequisite. You must ensure that Akagi will not have any problems or impacts."

Roger agreed on behalf of Akagi, and after hearing Roger's answer, the Purifier also agreed.

"Of course there is no problem. We won't do anything special about this kind of thing. After all, there is no benefit at all. If you are really worried, you can come and see."

"What a joke! Sending the commander to your place is like walking into a tiger's mouth!"

Akagi felt that only a fool would do such a thing as taking Roger over there. Who knows if they would suffer a fierce attack at that time.

"Tsk, if it's not possible, then it's not possible."

The Purifier also answered with a somewhat unhappy tone, although she also knew that this matter would not be so easy to be agreed to.

"Then go to this location by yourself, and we will pick you up when the time comes."

After giving a coordinate, the Purifier ended the communication, and Akagi had to deal with the next matter himself.

"Just be as careful as possible about this kind of thing."

It is impossible to say that you are not worried about things like this, but now everyone has no other choice. Besides, he cannot be with them in this situation, which is the most distressing thing.

Faced with Roger's concern, Akagi's face was full of happiness and joy. She held Roger's hand and placed it on her face, rubbing her cheek against his warm palm.

"Please rest assured, Commander. No matter what happens, it will not stop Akagi from returning to your side. No matter who wants to do such a thing, Akagi will get rid of them all!"

"Yeah, that's true. If that situation really happens, I will eliminate all those who stand in my way!"

"Ah~! Commander! I'm really happy that you said that!!"

Hearing that Roger had the same idea as himself, Akagi was overjoyed, and even felt that now the two of them could just have some wonderful kissing to sublimate their relationship.

Therefore, Akagi couldn't help but get closer to Roger, but the next second Taihou gloomily jumped out from between the two of them and stood in front of Akagi, with an expression that said "what are you dreaming about". However, this action almost led to the two of them kissing. This sudden interruption made Akagi's smile suddenly turn dark, and this also caused the originally ambiguous atmosphere to suddenly become murderous.

Chapter 237 This matter requires a different approach

"Then Commander, Akagi is leaving now."

On the day of departure, Akagi brought Kaohsiung and Atago with him for this matter. If Kaga had not been resting, she would definitely have gone with them. After all, Kaga, who was often together, had more contact with this kind of things and should understand better what to do.

"Then I'll leave Kaga to the commander during this time."

"I see. You should be more careful too."

"Do not worry."

Atago, who was watching this scene, couldn't help but reveal a sad face and said, "Commander, does that mean we don't need to worry about the safety of Kaohsiung and me? Isn't it a bit unfair that you are only concerned about Akagi?"

Roger also realized that there was something wrong with his behavior of only paying attention to Akagi and ignoring Kaohsiung and Atago, so he apologized.

"Ah, sorry, but I actually think that what you guys said should be fine. I still believe in your abilities."

"Ah~ So that's how it is."

Compared to Atago's playful expression, Kaohsiung responded very seriously.

"Please rest assured, we will not let down the commander's trust and will definitely bring Akagi back safely."

"I believe you, but please also pay more attention to your own safety. I don't want any of you to get into trouble."

When Atago heard this, a touched expression appeared on her face, and she then moved closer to Roger.

"I am really touched by the Commander's concern for me, so... oops~ I was blocked."

Atago originally wanted to take the opportunity to get closer, but when she saw Akagi who was blocking her, she knew that her plan was failed.

"It's getting late, Commander, we'll set off now."

Akagi said this and directly pulled the reluctant Atago away first. Kaohsiung nodded to Roger and followed closely.

"It was just a brief contact with the commander. It's really petty to stop something like this."

After leaving the port, Atago was not very happy about Akagi's unwillingness to let her and Roger come into contact, but as long as she was unhappy, Akagi was very happy.

"Put away those thoughts, or I wouldn't mind getting rid of you and those vixens together."

Akagi's eyes emitted a dangerous red light, but Atago did not feel any fear. If she was really afraid, she would not do such a thing in front of him.

"You can't make the Commander like me like this. Besides, if the Commander is interested in being with me, then you... um!"

Kaohsiung walked behind Atago and covered her mouth, telling her to stop playing and continue talking, otherwise Atago would die here before she had any conflict with the Siren.

"Now is not the time to play around. The commander's orders come first."

Kaohsiung brought Roger out to calm Akagi down a little, then he snorted coldly and ignored Atago and sailed away.

"You too, there's no need to treat her like this from the beginning."

Looking at Akagi leaving, Kaohsiung let go of his hand and said to Atago that this kind of provocative behavior is ultimately asking for trouble.

"It's only a matter of time. It's impossible to avoid contact with the other party and the commander. Besides, if it really happens, I will definitely say that I was injured to protect Akagi after I come back. Akagi won't be able to say it then. After all, she will never say that her companion was injured by her own people instead of the enemy."

"This may help the commander to have a better impression of me."

When Kaohsiung heard her say this, he was quite surprised that she actually had such an idea.

"I thought you would simply use some temptations and some ambiguous behaviors to get close to the commander, but I didn't expect you to use this method now?"

"This kind of thing depends on the situation. There are so many girls around the commander, especially Taiho who has been by his side for so long. I don't believe that she didn't do anything. What's more, Cheshire calls the commander dear all the time, and their daily behavior is very intimate. We can even see some very ambiguous actions in private. There is no need to say more about other aspects, so simply relying on such ambiguous behavior will not have a very obvious effect."

Kaohsiung listened to Atago's words and was somewhat surprised that she had figured out how to quickly improve their relationship so quickly.

"Okay, let's talk about this later. If we don't catch up, Akagi will be far away."
