Crossing the azure as a black dragon

From Azuma and Kitakaze, Black Dragon sensed an aura different from that of ordinary ship girls. To put it bluntly, their appearance alone allowed them to stand on the same level as battle-hardened Enterprise and others, or even be stronger.

If this shipbuilding technology were to get out, it's hard to imagine what kind of uproar it would cause.

"Reading more books is indeed useful."

Black Flying Dragon sighed softly.

Before transmigrating, she hadn't accumulated much knowledge. In this world, she could barely keep up with the thinking of the ship girls in the same port. To go further, she needed to accumulate more knowledge.

For example, she can use energy and resonance, but she only has a superficial understanding of their principles. If she could fully understand and analyze them, she would be many times stronger than she is now.

"There are books I've collected in the study. You can browse them if you're interested."

Amagi paused slightly before speaking.

"Ah, thanks."

Black Flying Dragon came to his senses and thanked Sky City.

Time passed, and the battlefield observed on the screens on the wall changed wave after wave, but the foggy area in the middle remained unchanged.

Back then, Black Dragon only walked around for a short while and several hours passed. Moreover, with so many more ship girls in the fog, Shinano's workload is much greater than before, and the time will likely be longer.

Looking at the area shrouded in mist, Black Dragon felt somewhat depressed. Usually, she was the one leading the charge when they went out to sea. It turned out that waiting for the fleet to return safely was so painful.

"I'm going out for a short walk."

Hei Feilong reached out and pressed down on the sofa, stood up, changed his shoes in the entryway, and walked out of the house.

It was already afternoon, and the sun was slowly setting. Black Flying Dragon walked to the edge of the building and looked out. Many ship girls were returning from overseas. There were many ship girls gathered in the neighborhood and near the construction site, chatting and laughing. Everything seemed so natural.

"That's amazing."

Black Dragon felt a pang of emotion. It was impossible for all the ship girls here to have joined because of Shinano, but their gathering here was definitely inseparable from Shinano.

Compared to himself, a nouveau riche, Shinano was the true strongman.

Suddenly, a fragrance wafted from afar, prompting Black Flying Dragon to take a sniff.

Following the aroma, Black Dragon spotted two light cruisers and a group of destroyers having a barbecue not far from the first floor.

"..."

Black Flying Dragon glanced at it twice, then turned around and circled Tiancheng's private residence twice.

There's flat ground next to this place, and you can see the houses from a great distance, so you won't get lost.

"Hey! What are you doing here?"

As they were walking, Black Flying Dragon heard Zuikaku's voice. He turned around and saw Zuikaku, with a sword at his waist, swaying as he walked over.

"Going out to relax, what about you?"

Black Flying Dragon stopped and asked in return.

"Hmm~ We weren't prepared when you came yesterday, but today Sister Xianghe said she'd treat you to a good meal."

Zuikaku's tone was quite cheerful.

"There's no need for that."

Black Dragon was a little embarrassed by what he'd been told.

Are all the seniors inside?

Ruihe looked towards Tiancheng's private residence.

"Yes, yes, but the situation is a bit delicate right now, so it might not be appropriate to talk about this."

Black Dragon's expression was somewhat subtle.

"It's okay, it's the same every day anyway."

Ruihe waved his hand and walked towards the house.

Black Flying Dragon was a little worried, so he followed. The two entered through the entrance hall.

"Sorry to bother you."

After entering the room, Ruihe muttered something under her breath, then began to observe the situation before finally focusing her attention on the main screen.

"It doesn't seem to be a good fit, what should we do?"

After sensing the atmosphere, Zuikaku approached Black Flying Dragon and asked in a low voice.

"You're asking me?"

Black Flying Dragon almost laughed.

"Otherwise, the table is all set up, just waiting for you to go over. Lord Nagato is waiting there."

Zuikaku lowered his voice.

"Since Nagato is here, why don't we just say it directly?"

Black Dragon answered in a low voice.

"Then you'll go?"

Zuikaku is not stupid at all.

"What are you two whispering about? Just say what you have to say."

Akagi was getting annoyed by the two of them nagging and didn't dare to suggest they go outside to discuss it further.

"Since Lord Nagato is hosting this banquet, we can't keep everyone waiting any longer. Let's go."

Tiancheng stopped what he was doing, stood up, and said.

"Since Sister Amagi says so..."

Akagi glanced at the mist on the screen and then stood up with Amagi.

At Tiancheng's urging, the six people present left the residence.

Chapter Fifty-Eight: As expected of me!

After leaving Amagi's private residence, Black Flying Dragon and the others returned to the entrance of the shrine.

There were quite a few more people strolling around the shrine now. Black Flying Dragon looked around and saw a group of destroyers playing hide-and-seek. The one playing the ghost was Haruzuki, who was wearing a somewhat revealing shrine maiden outfit and had beautiful black hair. She was currently squatting by the roadside counting.

He glanced at the black dragon and rubbed his temples.

Everything else about the Sakura Empire is fine, but some of their destroyers look too young, making it hard to imagine how they would perform on the battlefield.

"Although this place is nominally the residence of the divine child, the regulations are not particularly strict, and everyone is free to come and play here."

Azure Dragon noticed Black Flying Dragon's movements and explained in a low voice.

"Oh, I see."

Black Flying Dragon was taken aback. It seemed that Azure Dragon had misunderstood something, but there was nothing to explain, so he just went along with it.

"My lords, please come this way."

Upon entering the Divine Community domain, a black-haired woman with cat ears, who bore a resemblance to Shancheng but appeared more mature, greeted them.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Amagi, who was walking at the front, nodded, and then followed Fusang into the main hall through the side door. After passing through several Japanese-style sliding doors, they arrived at a very spacious room. At the far end, Nagato, dressed in formal attire, was sitting upright in the main seat, while Jiang Feng stood straight to the side waiting.

Several long tables were set up on both sides, and several ship girls were already seated. Black Dragon glanced at them briefly. Azuma and Kitakaze were sitting next to each other on the left. Kitakaze seemed a little reserved, while Azuma remained dignified.

Noticing the black dragon's gaze, Azuma smiled and waved at her.

"Go."

Amagi turned to Black Flying Dragon and said.

"Ah."

Black Flying Dragon left the group and walked towards Azuma. Zuikaku followed and walked to the left, while Amagi led Akagi and the others to the right, where they sat opposite Black Flying Dragon and the others.

"This is way too formal."

Black Flying Dragon whispered to Ruihe.

"You are very important guests to us, so we can't be informal with you."

Zuikaku winked its left eye at the black dragon and answered with a smile.

"Tsk, sorry to keep you waiting."

Black Flying Dragon clicked its tongue and went straight to the long table to Azuma's right, with North Wind on its left.

Don't you like this kind of party?

My wife observed Nagato's gaze and asked Black Flying Dragon in a low voice.

"A little, probably because I've been in Donghuang for a long time."

Black Flying Dragon smiled.

"Yes, the cultures of the Eastern Empire and the Sakura Empire are indeed very different."

My wife understood.

As the two were talking, more people entered the hall. Apart from Nagato, there were a total of fifteen people who took their seats. Black Flying Dragon recognized ten of them, and he was meeting five of them for the first time. These five were Hosho, Kii, Izumo, Ibuki, and Mikasa.

"..."

Looking at Izumo and Ibuki sitting opposite him, Black Flying Dragon didn't know what to say for a moment.

"What happened to those two?"

My wife noticed the black dragon's unusual behavior and couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing. Do you know those two?"

Black Flying Dragon withdrew his gaze, not feeling too surprised. Since Amagi and Shinano had already figured out the construction steps of the planned ships, it was impossible for them to only build Azuma and Kitakaze, and even kindly send them to the Free Port for "further training".

"I'm sorry, I don't remember many ship models so far, and I don't recognize either of these two."

My wife said apologetically.
