Crossing the azure as a black dragon

Black Flying Dragon stood up and addressed the two of them.

"School's on holiday these days, so I'll definitely have some free time!"

It is certainly formidable.

"Shall we go ask together?"

Yuudachi looked at the black dragon.

"Well, let's go."

Black Flying Dragon thought for a moment and decided to go ask first, because if it didn't work, Yi Xian definitely wouldn't leave at this time.

"yeah!"

Yuudachi happily high-fived and celebrated.

Black Flying Dragon shrugged and walked out of the living room, with Fear and Yuudachi following behind. The three of them went out together.

Once outside, Black Dragon noticed that many doors that had previously been considered empty were now open, with ship girls coming and going, creating a lively atmosphere.

Approximately how many ship girls are there in our port area right now?

Black Dragon was somewhat curious.

"I'm not sure. If you include those who are always outside, there should be several thousand people. I haven't done a specific count."

Ke Wei answered, walking to the left of the black dragon.

"Yeah."

Black Dragon stroked his chin.

Thousands of ship girls—this number may sound like a lot, but it's nothing compared to the scope they're responsible for. When they're on missions outside, it's very difficult to encounter a team of ship girls from the same port.

But on the other hand, with thousands of ship girls gathered in one port, it can be said that no one or organization can underestimate the Free Port. With the support of the commanders of the Eastern Empire, even a battle of the scale of a few days ago can be initiated independently. No wonder the ship girls here are proud of the port.

The three of them quickly arrived at the office area. Although the school was on holiday, the park-like space attracted many ship girls. Black Dragon even saw many people lying on the grass and sleeping, which looked very cool. She wanted to try it too.

There were quite a few ship girls on campus. The classrooms were empty, but there were people outside. It was like seniors returning to school to give a lecture after further studies. Many ship girls attracted the attention of the destroyers and were surrounded by people chatting and laughing. Black Dragon even saw North Wind mixed in with the crowd listening to the story.

The port area suddenly became incredibly lively, and even Black Flying Dragon was a little unaccustomed to it.

"Sister Yixian!"

Unlike the Black Flying Dragon's scattered attention, Yuudachi immediately spotted Yixian walking in the crowd, waving and shouting.

Hearing the shout, Yi Xian turned around and saw Hei Feilong and the other two. With a smile, she walked over.

"what happened?"

Yi Xian approached the Black Flying Dragon and glanced up at the rabbit ears.

"Well, I heard the Sirens have calmed down now, so we'd like to take this opportunity to go out for a while. I wonder if it's convenient for you?"

Black Flying Dragon asked in a low voice, his confidence slightly lacking.

"Sure, school's on holiday, I'll make the arrangements. Can we meet here in half an hour?"

Yi Xian didn't think much of it and quickly gave an answer.

"No problem, thank you for your help."

Black Flying Dragon nodded quickly.

See you later.

Yi Xian smiled, turned around and walked into the campus.

"Hmph, I told you there was no problem."

Kewei was quite pleased with himself.

“…Yixian’s commander is over there. Let’s go buy some gifts and pay him a visit on the way.”

Black Flying Dragon glanced at Fearsome and headed towards the port entrance.

Chapter Twenty-Five: The Turning Point

Stepping out of the port area, Black Dragon immediately spotted Saratoga and his group handing out flyers outside, including Santiago.

What are they doing?

Black Dragon was somewhat puzzled.

"I heard that Saratoga is going to perform here."

It's not entirely certain that it's formidable.

"show?"

Black Dragon raised an eyebrow. Wasn't Santiago rejected when he wanted to join Saratoga's team? Why is he helping out here?

"Yo, Black Dragon."

Santiago, who was handing out flyers, also saw the Black Dragon, greeted it, and walked over.

What's going on here?

Black Dragon looked at Santiago.

"Handing out flyers."

Santiago handed a flyer to Black Dragon.

Black Dragon took it and looked at it; it was a very standard concert flyer, with Saratoga in the middle.

They stood together in their performance costumes, posing for photos.

"However, I remember you were rejected, so why are you in here?"

Black Dragon glanced at it and handed the leaflet to Formidable.

"Hehe, don't let Saratoga's mean mouth fool you, she's actually quite easy to talk to."

Santiago said with a grin.

"Goodness."

The black dragon is really something.

What are you doing here?

Santiago looked up and asked.

"We have some business to attend to here and need to go out to sea."

Black Dragon didn't say much.

"Oh! Then please be careful."

Santiago nodded.

"Keep it up, you too."

Black Flying Dragon smiled.

Santiago nodded, smiled, and ran back to the roadside to hand out flyers.

"Let's go."

Black Flying Dragon turned around and led the two men, Ke Wei and the others, towards the mall across the street.

"Sister Long, the performance is the day after tomorrow. Will we be able to come back then?"

Yuudachi took the flyer from Keiwei's hand, looked at it, and asked Black Flying Dragon a question.

"You want to come back to see their performance?"

Black Dragon chuckled softly.

Yuudachi nodded honestly.

"It should be fine."

Black Dragon estimated the time before answering.

"Oh, that's good."

Yuudachi was immediately relieved.

The three arrived inside the mall. It seemed that due to the large-scale battle that had taken place, many shops were not open, and there were very few shoppers.

"If it's a gift, what should we give?"

Black Dragon pondered to himself, Yi Xian has been around since the establishment of the Free Port Area, and if we go back further in the history of the battles, Yi Xian's commander must be at least fifty years old. Black Dragon really didn't know what to give as a gift to an elder of that age.

“The commanders in this country have substantial retirement pensions, so they don’t have many material needs.”

Ke Wei glanced at the black dragon and said to himself.

"I see."

Black Flying Dragon nodded and led the two to the third floor of the mall. Near the stairs was an area selling calligraphy and paintings, with various styles of calligraphy and ink paintings available.

"..."

Hei Feilong peered at the paintings and calligraphy. She could understand the paintings, but she wasn't so good at calligraphy.

According to Donghuang customs, older generations of intellectuals are likely to appreciate these things.

However, Black Dragon always felt that sending only these items would give people a rushed feeling.

Seeing the black dragon caught in a dilemma, Ke Wei revealed a sly smile.

"Do you have a gift prepared?"

Black Flying Dragon noticed Fear and casually asked.

"Belfast prepared a royal tea set for my collection."

Kewei answered with a hint of smugness.

"Oh huh?"

Upon hearing this, Hei Feilong immediately calmed down and bought several landscape paintings that she thought were good.
