Crossing the azure as a black dragon

"No, that ship girl was imprisoned, but those monsters were already there."

Avira shook her head.

"Oh, is that so? May I go in and take a look?"

Black Flying Dragon pondered for a moment, wondering if this simpleton locked up was Shinano.

"Of course you can, but it would be quite dangerous. Are you really going?"

Avira asked as if she were certain.

"We can't lose a powerful ship girl for no reason. But, where did you find out about all this, Avira?"

Regardless of whether that simpleton was Shinano or not, Black Flying Dragon couldn't let her get lost in that unknown place. But at the same time, she also realized that the woman in front of her was not a normal person.

"If I said it was another version of myself, you probably wouldn't believe me."

Avira suddenly became depressed.

"Is it the you of the past, the you of the future, or the you of another world?"

Black Flying Dragon narrowed her eyes slightly. She herself was a transmigrator, so it wasn't unacceptable for other transmigrators or reincarnated individuals to exist.

"I knew you'd believe me, Black Dragon!"

Avira suddenly reached out and stood up, bracing herself against the edge of the table, looking at the black dragon with some excitement.

"Well, if the technology allows, transferring memories is not a difficult task."

The black dragon avoided Avira's gaze.

"Yes, that's what I think too."

Avira realized she had lost her composure, coughed lightly, and sat down again.

“The other ‘me’ is much more capable than me. She is an excellent commander who has fought against the Sirens many times. She even discovered places that the Sirens had hidden. But in the end, the world she lived in was destroyed by the Sirens.”

When she spoke of these things, Avira's voice was very low, and it was clear that these were not pleasant memories.

"Finally, another 'me' met a woman named 'Mio'. Mio told her that there was a world similar to theirs, where experiments that failed here succeeded there. Then, with Mio's help, her memories crossed the world and were given to me."

As Avira spoke, she looked up at the black dragon, her eyes gleaming.

"The experiment that failed over there but succeeded over here is referring to me, isn't it?"

Black Flying Dragon picked up his teacup and took a sip.

Avira nodded vigorously.

Chapter 80 Completed

Before arriving at Sakura Empire, Black Dragon encountered Mio in the fog and learned through their conversation that she was conducting an experiment aimed at metamorphosing ship girls, but had not yet succeeded.

Neither of them realized at the time that they actually belonged to different worlds, and they parted ways after a brief conversation.

No.

The black dragon frowned slightly as she pondered. Perhaps only she herself was unaware that before Mio sent her away, she had been asked to personally kill the out-of-control dragon in order to obtain a huge amount of Rubik's Cube energy. At the time, she hadn't thought much about it, but now, looking back, Mio's personality was quite different from the one she had encountered here.

After thinking it through, Black Dragon put down his teacup and looked at the girl in front of him: "I roughly understand the situation. If the two worlds are really so similar, what will the Sirens do next?"

"I do not know."

Avira shook her head.

"Hmm... is it that the history you know is different from the history of the other you?"

Black Dragon pondered for a moment and quickly understood the reason. She remembered that the answer given by that girl, Mio, was that the Sakura Empire was too conservative and the other forces were too weak.

Putting aside the fact that Shinano is conservative, other countries besides the Eastern Empire and Sakura Empire are also quite formidable. The Northern Alliance likely has new types of weaponry hidden there, and the Eagle Union even has the strength to start a civil war. Although she hasn't received any news from the Iron Blood and the Royal Navy yet, they probably aren't doing too badly either.

"Yes, I'm very sorry, there's nothing I can do to help."

Avira bowed her head and apologized to the black dragon.

"Don't worry about it. It would be too boring if everything went according to the script of another world. I'm more curious about that research base and the place that even the Sirens can't open. How am I supposed to get in?"

Black Dragon offered some words of comfort and then dropped the topic of history.

"Yes, regarding this matter, please accept this."

Ivy stretched out her hand and took a pretty little box out of her pocket, placing it on the table.

Black Dragon took the box and opened it; a silver ring appeared in front of him.

"ring?"

Yuudachi, who was secretly eating snacks nearby, immediately turned her gaze over.

"I don't think so."

Black Dragon's expression was also somewhat subtle.

Although it doesn't have any red gemstones or similar stones set in it, if you really want to, you could barely call it a ring.

"Please don't misunderstand, this ring... this band is a ship outfit specially made for you by Miss Mio. You'll know once you put it on."

Avira quickly waved her hand and explained.

"Mio customized this for me? Could this be the amazing ship equipment you mentioned before?"

Black Dragon took out the ring and examined it closely. The craftsmanship was exquisite, with even characters engraved on the outer shell. Something could be faintly seen flashing, but it was too faint to be noticed.

"Yes, after meeting you, Miss Mio noticed that you were missing a certain function, so she recorded the relevant information in the memories she transferred to you."

"Based on the research data, my daughter Akashi made this after conducting her own research."

Avira nodded.

"So I really am a defective product."

Black Flying Dragon shook his head slightly, put the ring on the index finger of his right hand, and prepared to have Akashi process it into a necklace to wear when he returned to the Free Port area.

The moment the ring was firmly on, the black dragon instinctively felt that it had gained several new functions, very powerful functions.

"How about it?"

Avira looked at the black dragon with some anticipation.

"Very useful, thank you for making this."

Black Dragon nodded, not showing much surprise.

"It's what I should do."

Avira responded with a slight smile.

"Although it's a bit rushed, I'm going to find that trapped ship girl right now. There might be danger along the way, so Yuudachi, you wait here for me to come back."

After completing its required functions, the Black Dragon became a little arrogant.

She wanted to go and touch those terrifying monsters.

"So eager?"

Yuudachi, who was watching the melon-eating nearby, was taken aback.

"Go and come back soon. Don't cause trouble for others while you're here."

Black Flying Dragon reached out and ruffled Yuudachi's hair, saying with a smile.

"Oh."

Yuudachi pouted and reluctantly agreed.

"Don't worry, I'm very safe here."

Avira spoke to the black dragon.

"Thank you for your help."

Black Flying Dragon nodded, stood up, and left the pavilion.

"Do you like Sister Long too, sister?"

Yuudachi watched the black dragon disappear into the distance, then turned to Avira and asked.

"Hmm? I like it. If my other self could meet the Black Dragon, I would definitely be able to defeat the Sirens."

Avira answered very naturally.

"So that's how it is."

Yuudachi felt much more at ease.

……

After leaving the port area, Black Dragon drew his sword and casually slashed through the space tunnel, arriving directly at a distance from the research base destroyed by the Sirens.

Upon arriving at their destination, Black Dragon did not immediately take action. Instead, he turned to look in other directions, briefly explained the directions, and pointed: "The Free Port is this way, and the Sakura Empire Port is this way... Hmm, it's definitely not my fault for being bad with directions."

The new ship equipped Black Dragon with all its functions. What pleased Black Dragon the most was that she regained her sense of direction. Now, standing on the sea, she felt as if she were at home, and she could find her way immediately no matter where she wanted to go.

After a brief period of excitement, the Black Dragon began testing other functions, starting with reconnaissance.

The Black Dragon's built-in radar hadn't been used for a long time. When it was activated before, it could only detect Sirens in motion, and those Sirens lurking on the seabed were completely undetectable. But this time, the feeling of being blindfolded disappeared. In just an instant, the Black Dragon detected the nearby Sirens, and all the Sirens, whether they were in standby mode or had stopped using their skills, were displayed.

In addition, the protective layer covering the base on the seabed was silently penetrated, just like its own base. Black Dragon even felt that it could just let it self-destruct.

This is a hacking function that complements reconnaissance. It applies not only to the base but also to the discovered sirens. If the Black Dragon so desires, she can directly tamper with their main internal programs, turning them from the Sirens' side to the Black Dragon's side.

"Is this the most advanced technology the Sirens possess?"

Despite possessing such terrifying power, Black Dragon was not happy at all, because the ship equipment that matched her was a product of the Sirens' research.

Using this technology to attack humans is even a bit of an overreaction.

"Forget it, maybe the technology tree in another world is more advanced than here. Let's get down to business."

Black Dragon shook his head and looked towards the island base.

When she first came here, she could only perceive the surface, that is, the destroyed base. But now, she can clearly feel the instability of this area, like a transparent screen with an independent space hidden behind it.

"Tsk, if we had come to check earlier, it might have been quite dangerous."

After observing the area of ​​the painted screen, Black Dragon's gaze fell on the pile of boulders, where a trigger-activated bomb had been placed; it would detonate if she approached.
