Crossing the azure as a black dragon

After hesitating for a long time, Yuudachi apologized to the black dragon.

"If you're talking about what happened on the street just now, I'm not angry at all. Come and eat."

Black Flying Dragon smiled and placed a bowl of rice in front of Yuudachi.

"Sister Long".

Yuudachi looked at the black dragon.

"kindness?"

Black Flying Dragon tilted its head and looked at Yuudachi.

"I want to become as good as you."

Yuudachi said earnestly.

"why?"

Black Dragon blinked.

"If I were as capable as Sister Long, I could take care of others just like she took care of me."

Yuudachi explained.

“Great goal.”

Black Flying Dragon said with a smile.

She is irreplaceable, but that doesn't stop her from becoming the goal that Yuudachi strives for.

"So starting tomorrow, I'm going to work out really hard!"

Yuudachi said earnestly.

"Ah."

Looking at Yuudachi's serious little face, Black Flying Dragon felt that she was even cuter than usual.

"Let's eat first, otherwise the food will get cold."

Black Dragon ended the conversation.

It's already late autumn, transitioning towards winter, and in just a short while, the dishes on the table have stopped steaming.

"Uh-huh!"

Yuudachi then picked up the bowl and started eating.

Although he was so sad just now, he didn't hesitate at all when he started cooking.

……

The next morning, Black Flying Dragon took Yuudachi and ran ten kilometers around the beach before returning to the dock.

Ten kilometers isn't much for them; it's just a warm-up.

"You're really energetic."

Toriumi and the others had already arrived at the dock, and they smiled at Black Flying Dragon and the other two.

"Life is about movement, shall we set off now?"

Black Flying Dragon led Yuudachi closer to the three of them, including Kaohsiung.

"If we set off early, we'll have time to find the abandoned port area that Lord Amagi mentioned."

Kaohsiung nodded.

"How about it?"

Black Flying Dragon asked Yuudachi.

"Sister Long has the final say."

Yuudachi answered with a grin.

"Let's go then."

Black Flying Dragon looked towards Kaohsiung.

Kaohsiung nodded, stepped off the pier, and the group of five unfolded their ship's equipment and left the port area.

The seven coordinates given by Amagi were not in one area, but distributed in several directions. There were three to the north of the port, two straight ahead, and two to the south. Because Black Dragon judged that the island should be in the south, they headed north first.

Before long, they arrived at the first coordinate point, which was next to a small island. After finding the right spot, Kaohsiung took out a cylindrical object and threw it into the sea.

"Is this the reconnaissance equipment?"

Yuudachi was a little curious; it was somewhat similar to the torpedoes she used.

"Yes, this will deploy automatically once it hits the seabed, detect the seabed in that area, and provide feedback."

Kaohsiung Explanation.

"Long-term surveillance?"

Black Dragon was somewhat surprised.

"After one test, it will go into hibernation. If there are significant spatial fluctuations in the surrounding area, the device will disintegrate on its own."

"

"Torikai answered from the side."

"pretty good."

Black Dragon nodded.

"Six more, let's go."

Ashigara offered a reminder from the side.

The five set off again, and after setting up the three coordinates to the north, Black Dragon did not find a single Siren, which made her somewhat uneasy.

"The Sirens have suffered so many losses during this period that they certainly cannot replenish them all at once, which is why the nearshore waters are so clean."

Chokai guessed from the side.

"Makes sense."

Black Dragon agreed that no matter how fast the Sirens shipbuilding speed was, it still required energy. In the past two months, the losses of mass-produced Sirens in Donghuang territory were close to five figures, which allowed the ship girls in the Free Port area to collect a good amount of energy.

Soon, the two coordinate points directly in front of the port area were also set, and the group began to head south.

"Last time I came back from the Sakura Empire, I almost got lost in the South China Sea, but luckily I met someone who could give me directions."

Black Dragon found the story somewhat amusing.

She's probably the only ship girl who gets lost even with a map.

"Sister Long has a terrible sense of direction."

Yuudachi chuckled to himself.

"No wonder Lord Tiancheng asked us to come with you."

Chokai nodded as well.

"Haha."

Black Flying Dragon chuckled twice.

She was in a pretty good mood because she didn't encounter any sirens on the road.

After heading south, Black Dragon deployed twenty reconnaissance aircraft, expanding the reconnaissance range to a radius of 150 nautical miles, in an attempt to find the island.

"This is the last coordinate. Which way should we go now?"

After setting up the testing equipment, Kaohsiung looked at the black flying dragon that was diligently conducting reconnaissance.

"Hmm...maybe we need to go a little deeper?"

Black Dragon was also somewhat uncertain. The location she had detected was about 300 nautical miles from land. Going any further inland might be dangerous.

"Then let's go a little deeper."

Kaohsiung responded quickly.

Before setting off, Tiancheng specifically instructed them to find that ruined port area.

"Well, let's go."

Black Flying Dragon; guided by intuition, he found a direction and led his team deeper into the territory.

Less than half an hour after they left, Black Dragon spotted the first group of Sirens on their journey, a formation of fifteen Sirens, about 100 nautical miles ahead of them.

"Go around it."

Not wanting to alert the enemy, the Black Dragon changed course and soon discovered a formation of seventeen mass-produced Sirens.

"There are quite a lot of sirens here."

Black Flying Dragon frowned.

"Don't rush, it's still early. Why don't you rest for a bit first?"

Kaohsiung glanced at the sky and said.

"Then let's take a rest first."

Black Dragon didn't try to hold on; such a high-intensity, wide-area search was indeed quite exhausting.

There's an island over there.

Black Dragon retrieved its reconnaissance aircraft and spotted a small, green island suitable for resting.

"Time to rest~"

After landing on the island, Yuudachi happily hopped a few steps on the beach.

"Don't go too far."

Black Flying Dragon called out and found a rock to sit on.

Yuudachi waved to indicate that she had heard him.
