Crossing the azure as a black dragon

Yuudachi rubbed against the black dragon's palm and wagged its tail.

"I knew it."

Black Dragon shook his head.

There were many inexplicable rumors about her in the Sakura Empire, and she couldn't figure out what Amagi and Shinano were up to.

"They're here."

Santiago whispered behind the tree.

"Ok?"

Black Flying Dragon turned around and saw Akagi leading Kaga towards them.

"Oh my, isn't this the little dog that was hiding by the roadside? It came back so quickly to warn us?"

Akagi's gaze swept over the black dragon, finally settling on Yuudachi.

Yuudachi hid behind the black dragon and made a face at Akagi.

"Let's leave this level of provocation alone. What do you want from me?"

Black Flying Dragon reached out to block Yuudachi and said to Akagi.

"Excuse me, I was just curious why someone as powerful as Shinano would stay in this port and play this childish game?"

Akagi's eyes narrowed slightly, a mocking smile playing on her lips.

"It seems there's a reason why Tiancheng doesn't bring you out often."

Black Flying Dragon narrowed his eyes slightly.

Amagi said that Akagi was arrogant but not bad. If you didn't meet him directly, you wouldn't feel anything, but if you faced him, you would feel Akagi's unbridled attitude.

"Oh? You... I see, I understand."

A hint of surprise flashed in Akagi's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

"Shinano said she couldn't be sure how strong you are now, but she was certain that you are stronger than me. I have my doubts about that, and I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer in the upcoming battle."

Akagi paused for a moment and then spoke to Black Flying Dragon.

"I don't know if my abilities will satisfy you, but your little schemes will definitely not escape Shinano's notice."

Black Flying Dragon looked at Red City.

"Hmph, you don't need to worry about that. Kaga, let's go."

Akagi waved his sleeve and turned to leave.

"Excuse me."

Kaga nodded to the black dragon and turned to follow Akagi.

"Sigh, is that all?"

Santiago, who was hiding behind the tree, opened his eyes wide.

"Otherwise what? You think she came here to fight me?"

Black Dragon gave Santiago a disgruntled look.

"hey-hey."

Santiago tried to get away with being cute.

Is there something about Beilian that I don't know about?

Black Dragon stroked his chin.

Akagi seemed to have come to argue with her, but Akagi certainly wouldn't do something so simple. So, she came to remind her? Remind her of what?

"what?"

Yuudachi didn't understand.

"You still dare to sneak up on those two foxes when they look so dangerous. You're getting bolder and bolder."

Black Dragon finished thinking and pressed down on Yuudachi's head with one hand.

"Sister Long, aren't you at home? They're definitely not as good as you."

Xili didn't panic at all.

Do you know what you call this kind of behavior?

Black Flying Dragon raised an eyebrow.

"The fox borrows the tiger's might, no, the dog borrows the rabbit's might?"

Santiago answered first from behind.

"..."

Black Flying Dragon's lips twitched.

Chapter Twenty is arranged very clearly.

After Akagi left, Yuudachi and Santiago ran away again. Kurohiryu took Azuma and the other two to the dock to register, but the person on duty today was not Edinburgh, which Kurohiryu felt was a bit of a pity.

"Thank you so much."

After returning to the Sakura Garden, Azuma thanked the Black Dragon.

"We are all partners, so helping each other is only right."

Black Flying Dragon smiled and watched the two walk into the courtyard.

"The Ironblood and Sakura Empire personnel have returned, so the battle should begin soon."

Black Flying Dragon walked to the seaside in thought. In the distance, in the exercise area, more than twenty ship girls were engaged in a combat competition, which made people want to take a second look.

Besides being used by students for practice, the port's training area is also used by ship girls who are bored in the port to form teams for competitive matches, which can be considered a form of entertainment.

"..."

When the exercise was mentioned, Hei Feilong thought of Akagi. Although Akagi hadn't directly said she wanted to spar with her, she was sure that if they really met on the battlefield, Akagi would definitely fight her.

Practicing with ship girls is Black Flying Dragon's eternal pain. Recently, she has been focusing on 'close combat' and her proficiency with carrier-based aircraft has not improved at all. If she were to actually face them, she would probably be completely crushed.

"Black Flying Dragon".

Just as she was worrying about this, someone called out to her from the side.

Black Dragon glanced sideways; Eugen was waving at her from under the eaves in the distance.

"What's wrong."

Black Dragon walked up to Eugen.

"Come here for a moment, Tirpitz has something to tell you."

Eugen waved his thumb toward the Ironblood conference room while surveying his surroundings.

"Ok?"

Black Flying Dragon raised an eyebrow.

"Some news about Beilian, let's go."

Eugen revealed his true colors.

Black Dragon was somewhat surprised and followed Eugen into the conference room.

Why did you put the conference room there?

Set it here?"

Black Flying Dragon glanced at the building materials and equipment piled up by the door and casually asked a question.

"This place is very close to the dock. If anything happens, the returning ship girls can tell us directly."

Eugen led the black dragon to the conference table inside. He had brought back so many people earlier, but now only Tirpitz and Bismarck remained.

"Has something happened at the Northern Alliance?"

Black Flying Dragon didn't stand on ceremony and went up to sit at the conference table.

Tirpitz and Bismarck exchanged a glance.

"Black Flying Dragon, you probably haven't gone to the Northern Alliance in private, have you?"

Tirpitz looked at the black dragon.

"No, only that one time when I went to deliver something with you guys."

The question asked by Black Dragon seemed rather puzzling.

“There are many rumors about you in Beilian. You have never been there, so someone is spreading news about you.”

Bismarck placed his hands together on the table, his tone calm.

"It's either Amagi or Shinano, I think. I'm also quite surprised by all the rumors about me outside. What's the point of doing this?"

Black Flying Dragon tapped on the table; she felt like she had been assigned a role.

"I told you before that the ship girls of the Northern Alliance are quite warlike. Your record against the Sirens has attracted a lot of attention there. Now that you're going to the Northern Alliance, there's a good chance that some ship girls will come to challenge you."

"Tirpitz said."

"This shouldn't be Amagi and the others' ultimate goal."

Black Flying Dragon shook his head.

"Indeed, you may not know this, but many ship girls have left the port and gone into seclusion all over the world. There are quite a few in the Northern Alliance. Our trip to the Northern Alliance this time is to hope that they can return to the port."

Tirpitz nodded slightly and explained.

"and then?"

Black Dragon nodded.

"This attempt also failed, but because of your rumors, they told us some things."

Bismarck looked at the black dragon.
