Crossing the azure as a black dragon

Shinano has spread so many rumors about her, so it's not unreasonable for her to return the favor, is it?

"Hmm... but it's hard to guarantee that someone won't make the connection to you."

Canglong sat on the armrest of the sofa with his arms crossed, looking somewhat troubled.

In fact, many of those who agreed to the Black Dragon's attack, including her, were thinking of weakening the Sirens' momentum. Who would have thought that this attack would wipe out the Sirens?

"Don't worry, I'm not that strong from Donghuang, and I disguised myself a bit, so no one will notice."

Black Flying Dragon calmly sipped her tea. In Donghuang, her performance was at most at the level of a war-weary enterprise—the kind of person who might be noticed in a crowd, but wouldn't be targeted.

"Really? In that case, there shouldn't be any problem. I'll go discuss it with Lord Nagato right now, and announce to the public that it's a letter..."

A hand moving vigorously.

Azure Dragon perked up and got up to walk toward the entrance, but stopped halfway and turned to look at Black Flying Dragon: "Since you've shifted the blame to Shinano, then you'll have to hold back a little when you're fighting in the sight of 'others' from now on. Thanks for your hard work."

"Yes Yes."

Black Flying Dragon leaned back on the sofa and answered lazily.

Canglong shook his head helplessly, opened the door, and left.

"..."

After confirming that Canglong had left by listening to the sound, Heifeilong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This time, she hadn't done anything underhanded; she had thought she would be taught a lesson before she came back.

After personally witnessing the wounded ship girls on the battlefield, I couldn't help but visit a few more places.

Unfortunately, they were all mass-produced sirens, offering no challenge whatsoever.

After taking a sip of tea, Black Flying Dragon picked up the control device that Azure Dragon had placed aside and switched the main screen used for positioning to the database. After becoming a ship girl, she could understand the languages ​​of various countries. After a little identification, she opened a document.

The main screen switched to display a map that included the waters of the Northern Alliance, Eastern Empire, Sakura Empire, and parts of Australia. The map contained numerous markings, and Black Dragon immediately noticed the markings with the word "undersea." These markings only appeared in the two countries of Sakura Empire and Eastern Empire, with the Eastern Empire having the most markings.

"Could this be the information about the Sirens that Tiancheng has been gathering and investigating all along?"

Black Dragon carefully examined the map, then fixed his gaze on the territory of Sakura Empire. This map was very important, as it could be compared with the data obtained from the subsequent exploration of the seabed.

After looking at the Black Dragon for a while, he put away the map and continued browsing the database.

The data here is extremely complex, including not only data on the Sirens, but also climate analysis of various sea areas, surveys of human geology, methods of abducting ship girls in port areas, and all sorts of other miscellaneous knowledge.

Amagi was very cautious; it didn't store any particularly important documents or information, but this knowledge was still somewhat useful to others.

For example, the Black Dragon.

After browsing through the methods of abducting ship girls, Black Dragon closed the database, then got up and strolled around the room, eventually finding the study at the back of the house.

In her view, fighting the Sirens was a minor issue; the biggest problem was humanity itself. If it weren't for some idiots defecting to the enemy and liking to cause trouble for their own people, would the Sirens be so arrogant?

However, these things do not trouble her. Her biggest problem now is how to find the correct blueprints for the planned warship in the study.

After calmly considering the matter, Black Dragon pulled out a book from the bookshelf that introduced the basic structure of ships.

Who knows when Tiancheng will return? It's best to rely on yourself.

……

The news spread faster than expected in Sakura Empire, and many people couldn't accept it when they first received it, but they accepted it after Nagato issued a statement.

Although Shinano has not actively stepped into the public eye in recent years, many people still know the value of this figure.

However, some people know who the culprit is even if they didn't witness the scene.

"I remember, didn't you specifically remind her?"

In a coffee shop that wasn't particularly luxuriously decorated, two women were sitting together. One of them, a silver-haired girl, took a sip of her coffee and casually asked a question.

"I guess so, but this time it was Shinano that took action, it has nothing to do with us."

Wales shook the glass in his hand and smiled slightly.

"However, I originally thought she would ask us for help."

After a slight pause, Wales began to speak.

"Something big may have happened on the Sakura Empire that we don't know about."

Eugen looked out at the sea through the floor-to-ceiling windows, where sunlight shone on the surface, reflecting shimmering waves.

"Then, would you mind making the trip?"

Wales asked tentatively.

"..."

Eugen glanced sideways, his brown eyes silently watching Wales.

"Haha, I was just saying it offhand, the White Eagles are coming back soon."

Wales gave an awkward laugh and changed the subject.

"Oh?"

Eugen made an amused expression.

……

A week has passed since the Black Dragon took the initiative to attack.

Perhaps it was because too many mass-produced vehicles were lost that time, or perhaps a bigger conspiracy was brewing, that the Sirens' offensive was no longer as fierce as before, and each port area was able to handle it on its own.

During this time, Black Flying Dragon was active in the port area. Apart from occasionally attending some meetings and inspecting the port area, he spent most of his time in Tiancheng's study. Even Azure Dragon began to worry that Black Flying Dragon might switch from being a combatant to a researcher.

It was another morning when Black Flying Dragon opened the door to find the courtyard covered in snow, with snowflakes still falling from the sky.

He reached out his hand from the edge of the eaves, and a snowflake landed in the black dragon's palm, quickly melting away.

"It's so beautiful. Is it snowing in the Free Port area? What are Yuudachi and the others doing right now?"

Black Dragon looked up at the sky, having been hoping for snow, but when it actually snowed, he didn't feel as happy as he had imagined.

So what exactly is she expecting?

Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Person Tiancheng Hates

After contemplating life for a while, Black Flying Dragon left the shrine and went to Amagi's house.

As Black Flying Dragon stepped inside, he exhaled a breath of hot air, rubbed his hands together, and walked to the guest room.

hall.

There was no one in the living room, but the satellite positioning screens were on. The main screen displayed a large map of Sakura Empire, but eighty percent of the area was dark, while the remaining twenty percent was slightly lit.

Akashi's modified sonar was deployed four days ago, and the lit-up areas are the regions that have been detected.

To restore peace to Sakura Empire, the ship girls in the port are working very hard. At this rate, the reconnaissance should be completed before the New Year.

"Keep it up!"

After pouring himself a cup of hot tea, Black Flying Dragon went straight to the study.

The once clean and tidy study now has a much warmer, more welcoming atmosphere. Several stacks of books are piled on the desk, and various drawings and notes have been taken out and placed on the table.

After pulling out a chair, sitting down, and taking a sip of tea, Black Flying Dragon quickly got into work mode.

Before she formally encountered this knowledge, Black Dragon thought it would be very boring, but as time went on, she found that the design and construction of warships were surprisingly interesting.

The most interesting thing is that she discovered her own data in Tiancheng's notes. It wasn't just about human anatomy, but a higher-level deduction based on the warship form of the Flying Dragon. Thanks to this, the Black Flying Dragon was fortunate enough to observe a warship model that might belong to her.

"Battleship prototype..."

Looking at the structure of his warship, Black Dragon stopped writing and slowly tapped the table.

She still remembered the ship girls she saw in the mist, coexisting with the warships. She didn't recognize them before, but now she knew that the aircraft carrier where Akagi and Kaga stood was their true form.

"We're all in human form, so why is Mio deliberately mimicking a ship? Could it be that we can summon a ship, but we just don't know how?"

This is what the Black Dragon cannot understand.

If it were truly possible to summon a ship, it should theoretically be their instinct, but in reality, neither weak nor strong ship girls are involved in the issue of summoning their ships.

If this is a 'variable' that Mio modulated, then it's too much trouble. Moreover, in that battlefield, ship girls without ship bodies are actually a minority. In comparison, individuals without ship bodies are more like variables.

"That's strange."

After thinking for a long time, Black Flying Dragon still couldn't come up with a conclusion.

I picked up the tea and took a sip, and before I knew it, it had gone cold.

Looking out the window, the snow was falling heavier and heavier, turning the entire island into a white expanse. Construction in the area had to be halted, and a large number of Manjuu set up camp on the spot, mingling with the ship girls resting in the port.

However, many people are still busy working.

Canglong was among them, braving the wind and snow to inspect the military equipment area and prevent damage to the equipment due to the snow.

"call."

After inspecting all the military equipment, Canglong went to one of the small rooms and took a breath.

Winter is the most difficult season for ship girls because the cold brings all sorts of inconveniences. Of course, this is for those who go out to work; staying at home is definitely very comfortable.

Looking at the snowflakes dancing in the sky, Canglong sighed with some regret.

If Black Dragon really is a dragon, she could use her older sister's authority to pull her out of the room right now; it's such a waste for her to stay in the study in this weather.

Suddenly, the phone in the Azure Dragon Pocket started playing music; someone was calling.

Canglong quickly took out his phone and scanned the caller ID. He answered the phone: "Yes, this is Canglong. What? Okay, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Canglong hurriedly left the cabin.

……

Time flew by and it was already afternoon. The snow had stopped, and almost all the ship girls who were resting in the port came out of their rooms and started playing in the snow.

In the backyard of the Amagi Mansion, Black Flying Dragon sat on the veranda under the eaves, watching Hibiki building a snowman not far away and the destroyers having a snowball fight next to her.

"Sorry to disturb your work."

Akano sat next to the black dragon and said apologetically.

"It's okay, it's good to come out for some fresh air once in a while."
