Crossing the azure as a black dragon

"We've made all the necessary contact. They'll help keep watch over things after we leave."

Tosa answered.

"Lord Nagato, the number of Sirens in the nearby seas has increased abnormally. Should we carry out a cleanup?"

Kaohsiung inquired.

"I understand. You've worked hard. Go back and rest."

Nagato didn't say anything, he just nodded.

"Ah."

Kaohsiung responded, and then he and Tosa got up and left.

Welcome back.

Black Flying Dragon leaned against the doorway and greeted the two of them.

Tosa nodded slightly.

"We're going to the kendo dojo, shall we come together?"

Kaohsiung's expression softened somewhat, and he asked.

"Okay."

Black Flying Dragon was already planning to go, and after closing the door, he followed the two out of the main hall along the corridor.

When Tosa and the others returned, there were even more people in the courtyard. Kurohiryu turned his head and saw that Yukikaze had already mingled with Yuudachi and the others. Ayanami and Kofu were watching from the side, somewhat tempted, but did not join them.

Agano and Noshiro are at the rest pavilion, and Mogami and Kumano are there too.

Black Flying Dragon walked to the kendo dojo, where Zuikaku and Ashigara were fighting. Both of them were fast-attack type, and the sound of footsteps and wooden swords clashing was very dense.

"Hi."

Just then, Toriumi came out of the locker room and waved to Black Flying Dragon.

Welcome back.

Black Flying Dragon smiled and followed him into the changing room, where he changed into his kendo uniform.

"Ashigara, you've gotten a lot stronger than before. Have you been secretly training?"

Zuikaku ultimately pressed down on Ashigara's head, and said with a smile.

"It's just that we've increased the intensity of our daily training."

The foot handle answered very honestly.

"Hmm~"

Zuikaku glanced around and saw the Black Flying Dragon, a knowing look on his face.

When you encounter someone whose defenses you can't break, you'll unconsciously intensify your training.

"bring it on."

After the two left, Tosa stood up.

Black Flying Dragon followed Tosa into the arena, the two facing each other.

"please."

Tosa gripped his wooden sword and responded calmly.

Black Dragon's eyes flickered slightly, but it did not attack immediately.

Tosa and Noshiro are similar; they are both very serious during practice, and rushing in casually is just a waste of their time.

Tosa wasn't in a hurry and waited quietly for the black dragon.

Swish!

Suddenly, the wooden sword sliced ​​through the air, and the black dragon slashed vertically at Tosa. At first glance, it seemed no different from the last time, but Tosa did not take the blow head-on. Instead, he dodged the attack by turning to the side, and then used the wooden sword to deflect the black dragon's attempt to slash horizontally.

The wooden sword was deflected, and the black dragon quickly retreated to regain its balance.

Tosa resumed his original posture and confronted the black dragon.

"How come Black Flying Dragon has become so composed after just one day?"

Zuikaku looked a little strange.

"Noshiro is very good at teaching, and Prince Black Dragon learns quite quickly."

Ashigara replied.

Hey~

Zuikaku licked his lips, a strange light flickering in his eyes.

The two faced off for a while, and finally Tosa launched an attack. Unlike Black Flying Dragon's dry attacks, Tosa's offensive was very fierce, but Black Flying Dragon still managed to defend against them all.

"It's amazing every time I see it."

Toriumi sat next to Takao, looking at the Black Flying Dragon's impenetrable defense.

It's really hard to find someone who only defends and never attacks.

Ultimately, when Black Flying Dragon attempted to counterattack, he was caught off guard and captured by Tosa.

Thank you for your guidance.

Black Flying Dragon touched his wounded waist and nodded to Tosa.

"You're improving very quickly. I hope there will be a day when we can go all out against each other."

Tosa nodded slightly, left a comment, and walked out of the venue.

"It's my turn!"

Zuikaku stood up and walked into the field.

"Would you like to take a break?"

Before the fight began, Zuikaku asked a question.

"Need not."

The black dragon struck a pose.

"Okay, be careful."

Zuikaku revealed a bright smile, and in a flash appeared to the side of the black dragon, his wooden sword flashing horizontally.

"!"

Black Flying Dragon's eyes sharpened, and as he blocked the attack, he extended his leg to kick at Zuikaku's right foot, the point of his weight distribution.

Zuikaku nimbly jumped back to avoid the attack.

"Oh my, you seem to be better at hand-to-hand combat than swordsmanship."

Zuikaku commented with a smile.

"Indeed, but physical skills are of little use at sea."

Black Flying Dragon responded. When using her sword, she rarely used her hands or feet, because it was just a friendly sparring session.

"uh-huh."

Zuikaku emitted a strange sound and launched its attack again.

……

"call."

Black Flying Dragon, who had put down his wooden sword and walked to the side, breathed a sigh of relief.

She had just fought against Kaohsiung Toriumi and others in turn, and felt tired, with a layer of fine sweat on her back.

"Black Dragon, you've improved very quickly. I'm sure you'll be able to handle both offense and defense soon."

Kaohsiung, who was also resting, said.

"Hehe, I hope I can beat you guys head-on when the time comes."

Black Dragon revealed a bright smile.

Of course, she herself knows best what progress is all about.

ding dong~

As they were talking, the doorbell rang at the courtyard gate, attracting Black Flying Dragon's attention.

Yuudachi and the others were playing by the door when they heard the doorbell and they all quieted down and stood aside to wait.

Chitose, who was sweeping the courtyard nearby, stepped forward to open the door and soon saw a male commander, who was about 1.6 meters tall, walk in with two ship girls.

"Sorry to bother you."

After the man entered, he politely greeted the ship girls in all three areas, and then followed Chitose into the main hall.

Who is this?

Black Dragon was a little curious; such a polite commander must be a specialty of Sakura Empire.

"The commander of the adjacent port area."

Zuikaku sat opposite the black dragon, but his posture was not very elegant.

"Why is it so formal? Is something wrong?"

Black Flying Dragon looked at Kaohsiung and the others.

They probably discovered something when they went out.

"I don't know."

Kaohsiung shook his head.

"Could it be that we've gathered too many people?"

Toriumi guessed.
