Crossing the azure as a black dragon

"The fabric has a special composition that can withstand most attacks. You should take a look at it."

"Black Flying Dragon said."

"I understand, meow."

Upon hearing what Black Flying Dragon said, Akashi immediately put away Black Flying Dragon's... shredded fabric.

"Then you can do the research first. It seems the Sirens have their eyes on me, and I need some defensive ship equipment."

Black Dragon sighed.

"Don't worry, meow. I'll make everything you want by the middle of next month at the latest, but..."

Akashi's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his shrewd businessman's smile and rubbed his hands together like a fly.

"I'll be going to Sakura Empire soon, and I'll bring it back to you when I find it."

Black Flying Dragon is very serious.

"Deal made, meow!"

Akashi is very confident!

Chapter Forty-Two: Courting Death

Black Dragon looked around after leaving the armory and then arrived at the main dock.

Wales was on the phone with someone when he turned around and saw Black Dragon. He said a few words to the other person, hung up the phone, and waved to Black Dragon.

"Business is booming."

Black Flying Dragon walked up and made a joke.

"It's just a minor issue. I hope you haven't encountered any danger over there these past few days."

Wales smiled.

"No, we haven't even seen many sirens since then."

Black Dragon shrugged.

"That's good. I've been screening out some tasks that are suitable for you these past few days, and after checking, I found some rather tricky issues."

Wales lowered his voice and led the black dragon to a secluded corner.

"Is someone manipulating things from the shadows?"

Black Dragon followed Welsh, its eyes gleaming. The siren's ability to pinpoint her location meant someone was definitely helping her.

"Pretty much. Someone released a lot of commissioned tasks based on your movements. Did you encounter any suspicious people when you went to the bay before?"

Wales nodded, his expression unusually serious.

"A strange person?"

Black Flying Dragon frowned. She hadn't encountered many strangers on the other side of the bay. The barbecue restaurant, the resident permit office, and a few commanders with ship girls were all people who lived in the bay. They shouldn't have been brainwashed by the Sirens.

Excluding these people, the most suspicious person should be the man in the suit who visited Mr. Zhou, but the two did not communicate.

"Is that person connected to some research group?"

Wales frowned slightly as he listened to Black Dragon's explanation.

"Is there something wrong with that group?"

Black Dragon was somewhat curious.

"No, not at all. Let's put that issue aside for now. I've picked out a few suitable tasks; would you like to take a look?"

Wales thought for a moment and changed the subject.

"Let's hold off for now. Could you exchange these Rubik's Cubes for me?"

Black Dragon shook his head and took out four overflowing collection cubes from the storage cube.

This is the energy she released from the sirens she killed in the first wave.

"Sure, you can come find me if you want to make a move."

Wales took over the energy without demanding anything in return.

"Okay, I'll go back and rest now."

Black Flying Dragon responded, glanced at the lively exercise on the sea, and got up to walk into the port area.

Watching the black dragon depart, Wales rested his chin on his hand, lost in thought.

……

Upon arriving outside, Black Dragon heard noises coming from the living room before even opening the door. He then walked to the window and peeked out, finding Yuudachi and Santiago sitting around the table, seemingly busy with something.

The destroyer was very vigilant. The Black Dragon had only been watching for a few dozen seconds when Yuudachi noticed and turned around to look, making eye contact with the Black Dragon.

The next second, Yuudachi got up and ran out of the living room.

Welcome back!

Yuudachi opened the door and called out to the black dragon.

"I am back."

Black Flying Dragon smiled and followed Yuudachi into the house.

"Black Dragon, you're back."

Santiago also peeked out from the living room, watching the black dragon.

"Hmm, what are you doing?"

Black Flying Dragon noticed the pink and white aprons on the two people's front, changed into slippers, and walked out into the living room.

"We are making dumplings."

Yuudachi brought the black dragon to the table. Although the tools were arranged in a somewhat messy manner, the dumplings she made were very beautiful.

"Yudachi said he wanted to give you a surprise since you're coming back today."

Santiago added from the side.

"I received your surprise. There are still quite a few left, so let me help out."

Black Flying Dragon patted Yuudachi's head, chuckled, and walked to the table to sit down.

Yuudachi chuckled sheepishly and sat down next to the black dragon. Santiago ran over as well, and the three of them got busy.

"Speaking of which, so many days have passed, how are things going on with the company?"

Black Dragon arranged a plate of dumplings and asked Santiago a question.

"It seems we've encountered some trouble, but it's not a big problem and can be resolved."

Santiago held a dumpling in his hand, thought for a moment, and said...

She would occasionally contact Minneapolis, but they never gave her specific details, so she was always confused.

"Oh, I see. It would be great if you could come back before the Spring Festival."

Black Dragon felt that White Eagle might be in a bit of trouble, but Enterprise and the others should be fine.

"It should be okay, right?"

Santiago is also uncertain.

"Sister Long, did you know that Donghuang has two Spring Festivals?"

Yuudachi looked at the two of them and couldn't help but speak up.

"The Gregorian calendar and the lunar calendar, right?"

The black dragon is not surprising; the world has changed, but the festival remains the same.

"Sister Long, you know her, right?"

Yuudachi chuckled, trying to get away with being cute.

"Reading more books does have its benefits."

Black Flying Dragon smiled.

Yuudachi and Santiago exchanged a glance but did not respond.

With the efforts of the three, the remaining dumpling wrappers and fillings were cleaned up, resulting in a total of six large plates of dumplings.

"Let's have dumplings tonight."

Black Flying Dragon counted them; there were a total of 195. With some side dishes, it should be enough for one meal.

"Great!"

Yuudachi cheered; that was exactly what she had in mind.

"You've worked hard, take a rest."

Black Flying Dragon got up and put the dumplings in the refrigerator.

Yuudachi and Santiago cleaned the table themselves and swept the floor as well.

After finishing their work, the two of them went out to play, leaving Black Flying Dragon alone at home.

"So energetic!"

Black Dragon touched his hair and went into the bathroom.

After taking a bath, Black Flying Dragon changed his clothes and went to the backyard, where he lay on a lounge chair and sunbathed.

"According to Akashi, the radar the Wanderer gave me used resonance techniques. If that's the case, I should be able to achieve a similar effect by resonating with it myself, right?"

Looking at the October Cherry Blossom, which hadn't grown much in several months, Black Flying Dragon pondered.

Radar is extremely important to them. In this world overrun by Sirens, not having it is practically like being blind. If they can obtain intelligence through resonance, they won't have to worry about being ambushed by Sirens anymore.

"Give it a try."

After hesitating for a moment, Black Dragon got up, picked up a basin of water, put a few stones in it, and finally reached out to touch the surface of the water, using resonance.
