Crossing the azure as a black dragon

Page 244

Before Black Dragon could finish his summary, someone waved and walked over from a distance.

Upon hearing this, Black Flying Dragon turned his head. A group of people from Kaohsiung were walking towards them, with Bird Sea and Flying Eagle at the front.

Good morning! Are you getting ready to go out?

Black Flying Dragon went over to ask.

"Tenjo said he had something to take care of, so as his guards, we naturally had to go with him."

Flying Eagle shrugged and said.

"Haha, you've worked hard."

Black Flying Dragon smiled.

"I heard that Nagato hosted a banquet yesterday and invited you to attend. How did you feel about it?"

Bird Sea approached Black Flying Dragon and asked with a smile.

"The food and drinks were excellent, but as a junior, I was still a little reserved."

Black Flying Dragon pondered for a moment and then said.

If you have a meal together in Donghuang, you can at least exchange a few words with each other, even if you're not exactly close. But here, you're seated at separate tables, so it's hard to find an opportunity to strike up a conversation.

"This kind of thing happens very often."

Chokai is not surprising.

"That's true."

Black Flying Dragon nodded without saying anything more.

"For example, the New Year is just around the corner, Black Dragon, what are your plans?"

Toriumi changed the subject, switching to a lighter topic.

"New Year? Ah, indeed, there are no special plans yet."

Black Flying Dragon was taken aback, then realized that the Sakura Empire's New Year was on January 1st, earlier than the Eastern Empire's.

"Hmph~ Since that's the case, why don't you bring Yuudachi here and spend the New Year here before going back?"

Toriumi held up his finger and shook it, making a suggestion.

"That's fine, but if we want to have a peaceful New Year, we'll need to deal with the Sirens first."

Black Dragon smiled.

"That's true."

The thought of the sirens made Torikai somewhat listless.

As he spoke, Black Flying Dragon looked up and gazed at the distant sea. He could see that many teams were returning, and quite a few of their ship equipment had been damaged.

"Lord Amagi is coming out."

Ashigara's sudden voice drew Black Flying Dragon's attention back. Turning around, he saw Amagi, dressed in a light purple, wide kimono, slowly descending from the third floor. Her hair and the hem of her kimono fluttered slightly in the breeze, as if she had stepped out of a painting. Black Flying Dragon was stunned for a moment.

"Black Flying Dragon?"

Toriumi poked the black dragon from the side.

"Ok?"

Black Flying Dragon glanced sideways; when she wasn't smiling, she had a poker face, and even if she was spacing out, no one would notice.

"like

"If it weren't for Lord Amagi's invitation, would you have come to Sakura Empire?"

Chokai asked in a low voice.

"Probably."

Black Dragon was somewhat uncertain. If there was an escort mission here, she might come over for a stroll, but she couldn't expect to stay for an extended period.

"Humph~"

Chokai made a strange noise.

Black Flying Dragon glanced at her, but she wasn't buying it.

When she first met Amagi, she did indeed harbor feelings of affection for him unilaterally. However, the more she got to know him, the more she realized that Amagi and she were not on the same path. But...

Black Dragon's gaze fell on Amagi's tail; it wouldn't be bad to pet it a couple of times.

Soon, Tiancheng arrived in front of everyone, his gaze settling on the Black Flying Dragon.

"Well, actually it's like this."

Black Flying Dragon coughed lightly and explained the content of his conversation with Akashi.

"I understand. I'll let the others know, but you'll need to devise the specific action plan yourself."

After a moment's thought, Amagi gave his answer.

"enough."

Black Dragon nodded.

The Sirens are able to wreak havoc within the defenses because of their hidden production bases on the seabed. If these production bases can be eliminated, the number of Sirens will be greatly reduced.

"This method takes a lot of time, so remember not to alert the enemy unless you are absolutely certain."

Amagi gave another piece of advice.

"clear."

Black Dragon nodded.

"Okay, I'll leave this to you."

Amagi's lips curled into a slight smile as he reached out and patted Black Flying Dragon on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, everyone is protecting this place."

Black Flying Dragon nodded and turned to look at the busy ship girls on the first floor. In the crowd, she immediately spotted Azure Dragon, who was holding documents and giving instructions at the construction site.

Her older sister, who was adopted by someone else, was surprisingly a workaholic.

Tiancheng didn't say much and stepped down the stairs.

See you later.

Toriumi greeted them and followed Amagi, while Takao nodded to the Black Flying Dragon before leaving.

After watching the group leave, Hei Feilong took out his phone and glanced at it. Today was December 1th, and there were still 26 days until January 1st.

"Time is a bit tight."

Putting away his phone, Black Flying Dragon turned and walked towards the three-story shrine.

With Shinano Amagi gone, only two Sakura Empire ship girls remain capable of large-scale mobilization: Nagato and Mikasa. Persuading these two is largely successful.

Passing through the torii gate, Black Flying Dragon immediately spotted Fusang cleaning the front yard.

"Can you take me to see Nagato?"

Black Flying Dragon stepped forward to strike up a conversation.

"Of course, please come this way."

Without hesitation, Fusang put down the broom and led the black dragon into the main hall.

Only the front courtyard of the entire shrine complex is a functional shrine area; the rest of the buildings beyond the main hall are guest rooms and the back courtyard. The overall design far exceeds the cost-effectiveness.

After entering the main hall, Fusang led the black dragon through several functional rooms to a spacious room. The room was simply furnished, with several futons in the middle, where Nagato was sitting upright.

"please."

Fusang gestured for Black Flying Dragon to enter, then retreated away from the area.

"Sorry to bother you."

After exchanging a polite remark, Black Flying Dragon walked over to the futon in front of Nagato and sat down.

"No need for formalities, just tell me what's on your mind."

Nagato was wearing a rather thin red and white shrine maiden outfit. Although she was trying to maintain her dignity, she looked even cuter in the eyes of the black dragon.

"Yes, I have a proposal regarding the Sirens within the seas."

Black Flying Dragon explained her idea: she hoped that the ship girls in the port area would carry special sonar when they went out to sea to meet the enemy, and record the seabed conditions of the areas they passed through and hand it over to her.

“Hmm, we have implemented your proposal before. The biggest problem was not reconnaissance, but how to destroy the Sirens' base on the seabed. Without national intervention, it is difficult for us to effectively destroy the Sirens' base in the deep sea.”

Nagato calmly gave his answer.

"I will carry out the sabotage."

Black Flying Dragon continued.

Are you sure?

For the first time, Nagato took a serious look at the Black Flying Dragon.

The two had met several times, and in Nagato's memory, Black Dragon was one of the few people he could talk to naturally, but that was all.

"determine."

Black Flying Dragon and Nagato locked eyes.

"I understand."

Nagato closed her eyes and stood up from the futon.

"Thank you for your help."

Black Flying Dragon slightly raised his head, looking at the petite Sakura Princess before him.
