Chapter 88 The Confident Zuikaku

"This way, please."

Chitose and the other two led Black Flying Dragon and the others onto the island. They moved along the main road and passed by Izumi Hot Spring Village, where Black Flying Dragon had spent a night. They stopped in front of a courtyard that was quite large.

"here it is?"

Looking at the sign next to him that read 'Heavenly Fortune', Hei Feilong already knew what was going on.

"This is the residence of Lord Shinano and Lord Nagato."

Qian Sui pushed open the door and spoke to Hei Feilong.

"?"

Black Flying Dragon looked at Sky City. This was a bit much. Last time, neither Dragon and Phoenix told her that there was a house here.

"The two of you will not stay here permanently; you will only gather here when there are some matters to attend to."

After Tiancheng finished speaking, he stepped into the courtyard.

"Let's go."

Flying Eagle patted Black Flying Dragon on the shoulder and followed.

Black Flying Dragon led Yuudachi inside as well.

Upon entering, Black Flying Dragon saw a large building that resembled the main hall of a shrine. In front of the building was a brick path lined with slender bamboo, but there were no items for worship. At the front was a large gate.

There were also houses on the left and right sides. On the left, Black Dragon saw several familiar ship girls wielding swords. On the right was what looked like a large wooden pavilion, with many resting facilities inside. The three rooms were connected by a long corridor. Apart from the stone brick path leading to the three houses, the rest of the area was paved with white sand and gravel, and there were some boulders and trees in the middle.

This is only in front of the main hall. There is a large area behind the main hall. Through the long corridor, you can see flower beds and a pond with various small details.

"This way, please."

Chitose and Chiyoda led Black Flying Dragon and Amagi toward the main hall, while Takao and the others headed toward the kendo dojo next door, with Yuudachi following behind.

Upon entering the main hall, there is first a foyer, next to a horizontal corridor, and then a vertical corridor.

After taking off her shoes, Black Dragon went to the innermost room. Before she even entered, she saw blue butterflies flitting between the gatehouses. They were not physical and were very beautiful.

"Excuse me."

Chitose and Chiyoda each opened one of the doors, revealing a spacious hall where two figures sat at the head of the table.

Kneeling on the left is a girl about the same height as Yuudachi, wearing a red and white dress. She looks very young, but her expression is very serious, and she has an inexplicable aura.

The woman on the right is dressed in a blue-black shrine maiden outfit, and has an incredibly voluptuous figure. While she's supposed to be sitting, she's actually leaning against the small figure beside her.

On the table, he squinted, seemingly taking a nap.

Dozens of blue butterflies fluttered in the air above the hall, creating a beautiful scene.

Welcome back.

Nagato glanced at the two of them and greeted them.

"I'm back. This is the Black Dragon that I often mention to you two."

Amagi nodded and stepped aside to introduce the Black Flying Dragon.

"Hello, it's nice to meet you both. I hope you'll take good care of me in the future."

Black Flying Dragon withdrew his gaze from the butterfly and greeted Nagato.

She was unaware of Sakura Empire etiquette and had no desire to learn it.

“Hmm, I am Nagato, and this is Shinano.”

Nagato nodded slightly.

"I heard you're going to participate in this expedition?"

Shinano was either asleep or not, so Nagato had to speak up himself.

"Yes, I've heard that the deep sea is very different from where we are. I wonder what it's like exactly?"

Black Flying Dragon glanced at Tiancheng, who was kneeling, and then knelt down as well.

Upon hearing this, Nagato looked at Amagi.

"Well, I once led a group on an expedition, and we appeared directly in the deep sea through the port's teleportation point."

Amagi coughed lightly, no longer making excuses, and began to explain things to Black Flying Dragon.

The deep ocean is perpetually overcast, and almost all the islands have been occupied by the Sirens, who have built various arsenals and other military facilities. The Sirens guarding those islands are different from those here; they are all humanoid Sirens, fewer in number, and extremely powerful in combat. Moreover, each area is guarded by intelligent Sirens, and the Mirror Sea is full of them. If you are not careful, you will fall into a Siren trap.

"Black Dragon, you are very sensitive to space. If anyone tries to enter the Mirror Sea, you must stop them."

Amagi gave a solemn instruction.

Are the sirens inside very strong?

Black Flying Dragon humbly sought advice.

"It's not just that the Sirens are strong. The mirror-like waters of the deep sea have the function of polluting the mind. Once we go in, we will be in a state of constant headache. In addition, there are all kinds of traps. It's all a dead end."

Amagi shook his head slightly.

Is this just a form of spiritual pollution targeting us?

Upon hearing about mental pollution, Black Flying Dragon immediately suspected something ominous and cautiously inquired about it.

No, that's not true.

Amagi shook his head.

"That concludes today's discussion. Black Dragon, you may go and rest."

Nagato stopped Black Flying Dragon from asking further questions.

"understood."

Black Dragon asked no more questions and got up to leave.

"Black Dragon, we will always be your allies."

Nagato's voice came from behind Black Dragon.

"I know."

Black Flying Dragon responded and strode out of the room.

"What does Shinano think?"

After the black dragon left, Amagi looked at Shinano, who was in a resting mode.

She is confused.

Shinano slightly opened her eyes and answered softly.

"Time will show her that she will become stronger."

After saying this, Shinano closed his eyes again.

"Time."

Nagato murmured softly.

How is the planned ship progressing?

Nagato looked at Amagi.

……

Stepping out of the main hall, Black Flying Dragon felt much more relaxed.

The room, which was so dark and lit by butterflies from Shinano, made her feel very uncomfortable.

"Sister Long!"

Yuudachi waved from the corridor next to the kendo dojo.

Black Flying Dragon waved and walked along the stone-paved path.

clap clap clap!

Before even getting close, Black Dragon heard the sound of wooden swords clashing.

There were quite a few people in the kendo dojo. Besides Takao and his group, there were also Tosa, Zuikaku, Eikaze, and Ayanami watching from the sidelines.

"A ship-slaying sword is considered a sword?"

Black Flying Dragon pondered for no apparent reason.

"Hey, so you're Black Dragon? Want to come up and have a go?"

The sharp-eyed Zuikaku spotted the approaching Black Flying Dragon, placed his wooden sword on his shoulder, and said in a flippant tone.

"May I?"

Black Flying Dragon is very humble.

"bring it on."

Zuikaku's smile exuded confidence.

Upon hearing this, everyone else stopped practicing and made room for the two of them.

Please give me your guidance.

Black Flying Dragon took off his shoes and stepped into the kendo dojo.

"for you."
