Crossing the azure as a black dragon

"What happened?"

Kongo waved for Kirishima to leave, then stepped over to Black Dragon and asked him a question.

“I suspect Shinano went to Australia yesterday. I’m worried that the Sirens might trap Amagi and the others while Shinano is away, so I’d like you to contact them again.”

Black Dragon didn't mince words and went straight to the point.

"I see, no problem."

Jin Gang didn't know where Black Flying Dragon had heard the news that Shinano had gone to Australia, nor was she worried that Amagi and the others would be in trouble. However, since Black Flying Dragon was already there, she felt embarrassed to send him away, so she turned around, took out her tablet, and made a video call request.

Half a minute passed quickly, but the other end did not answer the video call. King Kong's expression changed slightly, and after hanging up, he dialed again.

Black Dragon waited quietly to the side, having basically confirmed that something had happened to Sakura Empire, and had also deduced the cause and effect.

Yesterday, the Pirate Island sent a distress signal, which she rejected outright. However, Shinano somehow learned that Kuro and Shiro wanted to come to Donghuang to find Mio, so she revealed that she had gone to Australia. It is possible that she exposed her true existence afterward, which gave the Sirens on the Sakura Empire an opportunity to directly attack Amagi and the others.

Several minutes passed, and they still couldn't get in touch with them. It was impossible for Akagi and the others not to be awake at this time; the only possibility was that they were really trapped.

"No need to try anymore, do you know where Amagi and the others are?"

Black Flying Dragon reached out to stop the skeptical King Kong, pondering how to deal with the situation.

The Sirens seem to know about her good relationship with Amagi. Anyone else would probably be dead by now, but Amagi is very likely to be used as bait to lure her to the Sakura Empire to rescue people.

For the Sirens, a small Sky City is nothing to them, but killing Sky City might allow their Black Wyverns to seek revenge.

In the past, she might have only retaliated against the mass-produced Sirens, but now, if she is determined to take revenge on the Sirens, she can go deep into the Pacific Ocean, destroy most of the Sirens' base in the Pacific, and then retreat unscathed.

Therefore, Black Dragon was very confident that Sky City was definitely still alive.

If Tiancheng really dies in the Sakura Empire, then she won't need to suppress her hostility towards the Sakura Empire anymore.

"In Nagoya, there are several top-level research bases for Sakura Empire, but I don't know their exact locations. You'll have to find them yourself."

With a somewhat grim expression, Jin Gang put down her tablet. She had clearly contacted them yesterday, and yet this had happened today.

"Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture?"

Black Flying Dragon frowned; the name was quite famous, and she vaguely remembered it.

Reach out and swipe open the light screen, which displays a map of many prefectures in Sakura Empire. Aichi Prefecture is located in Shikoku Ward in the southeastern part of Sakura Empire, facing the Pacific Ocean.

"This is it."

King Kong pointed to a location for Black Flying Dragon.

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements right away. You contact Nagato in the Sakura Empire port area and have her prepare to evacuate Sakura Empire."

Black Flying Dragon withdrew his hand expressionlessly, gave King Kong a few instructions, and then disappeared from the study.

"!?"

King Kong was slightly startled. He reached out and waved his hand over the spot where Black Flying Dragon had just been. After confirming that Black Flying Dragon had left, he began to contact the people on the Sakura Empire's side.

……

Black Dragon returned to his new house and strode into the backyard.

There were only two cherry trees in the yard. On the branch of the left tree was a rectangular cage. The little fox seemed quite satisfied with this small room and stayed in it all day.

Black Flying Dragon stepped forward and, out of politeness, reached out and tapped the wooden cage.

There was no response from inside, so Black Flying Dragon reached in, grabbed the little fox by the neck, and pulled it out.

I don't know if it's because it's thick-skinned, but unless it's an attack directly targeting its body, this sleeping fox wouldn't be woken up if placed in the epicenter of an earthquake.

Shaking it wildly without any mercy, the startled little fox showed a terrified expression as if the world was ending.

"A job has come to our door."

Black Flying Dragon grabbed the little fox by the scruff of its neck, bringing their eyes to the same level.

"Waaaaah."

The little fox looked aggrieved.

.

"Alright, alright, after we finish this job, we'll make you some roasted lamb chops."

Ignoring the little fox's verbal condemnation, the black dragon pulled out a light screen with its left hand, one showing the location of Nagoya City, and the other showing a full-body photo of Amagi, Akagi, and Kaga.

Since they were both foxes, she figured the little fox wouldn't just stand by and watch someone die.

Sure enough, upon hearing her promise and seeing the little fox of the 'kin' appear on the screen stop making a fuss, it stretched out its front paw, pointed at the three of them, and whimpered twice.

"Yes, it's about saving people, not killing them."

Black Dragon was very satisfied with the little fox's awareness.

"Waaaaah."

The little fox raised a paw and voiced its opinion.

"Well, if you perform well, that's not necessarily a bad thing."

Black Flying Dragon responded with one eye open and the other closed.

This guy actually wants a fox companion! Where is she supposed to find a fox that isn't afraid of getting into trouble?

The little fox, having received a response, immediately perked up, breaking free from the hand gripping its neck and scrambling around on the ground. After finishing, it even whimpered twice, urging Black Flying Dragon to lead the way.

"I'll take you to the border in a bit, then you can cross by yourself."

Black Flying Dragon bent down, hooked the little fox around his waist, and then the two disappeared into the courtyard.

In the unlit basement, Black Dragon reached out and opened a portal leading to the border of Sakura Empire. A smooth, blue light curtain emerged from the archway. Black Dragon, carrying the little fox, stepped inside. With a flash of light, an endless blue sea appeared before Black Dragon.

"We've arrived, go ahead."

The black dragon floating in mid-air flung the little fox onto the sea and pointed in the direction of Sakura Empire's homeland.

"Waaaaah!"

The little fox flipped itself onto the sea and protested loudly, hoping that the black dragon would change its attitude when asking for help.

"If you can bring the person back, I'll make the changes. While you're at it, please clean up the trash around here too."

Black Dragon casually glanced at the buffer zone that appeared in front of her, snapped his fingers, and said.

The naive little fox believed it and, wagging its tail, turned and ran into the buffer zone, disappearing from the black dragon's sight, transcending the spatial limitations.

Boom!

Less than a minute later, a series of pleasant explosions came from the distant, unseen distance.

"We shouldn't have to worry about this place anymore. The fleet should be able to return to port safely today. Let's take some time to persuade Xiaobai to surrender."

After seeing the little fox off, Black Dragon looked back and muttered to himself as he walked into the teleportation point.

Upon returning to the Freeport District, Black Dragon immediately traveled to the branch port. With the help of the supernatural powers, he read the report and then went to Wales's house.

"So busy."

Black Flying Dragon reached out and ruffled his unruly hair, then sighed.

It was fortunate that she was able to travel through space and had set up a portal in advance; otherwise, the travel time alone would have been unbearable.

"Welcome, Sister Long!"

After ringing the doorbell, Yuudachi opened the door with a grin and led the black dragon into the house.

Upon entering the living room, Black Flying Dragon immediately spotted Wales, who was calmly playing chess with Shigure.

"Which game is it?"

Black Flying Dragon asked Yuudachi in a low voice.

"Shigure has lost ten games."

Yuudachi strained to stand on her tiptoes, but unfortunately, the black dragon's ears were on top of its head. With no hope of getting the ears, Yuudachi honestly gave her answer.

"That's terrible."

Black Flying Dragon clicked her tongue in amazement. Back when she was in Sakura Empire, she was brutally defeated by Noshiro in shogi, and she only lost a few games.

"General."

Seemingly in response to Black Dragon's statement, Wales uttered two words gracefully.

"Ah, chess is so difficult."

As Shigure lay dying, he held his head and collapsed onto the sofa, muttering to himself.

"Haha, you'll get it with more practice."

Wales said with a light laugh.

"Things' all taken care of. Want to play a game?"

After comforting Shigure, Wales turned his gaze to Black Flying Dragon and gave him a kind smile.

She simply didn't believe that Black Flying Dragon would have time to learn the chess of the Eastern Empire.

"Oh? Then I'll gladly accept your offer."

Black Flying Dragon also showed a friendly smile and stepped forward to sit in the spot where Shigure had retreated.

"Go, Sister Long!"

Yuudachi had seen Black Dragon get thrashed in a shogi game in Sakura Empire, but now she hoped that Black Dragon could help Shigure get revenge.

"You go first."

Wales gave the red piece to the black dragon and moved it back to its original position, saying this.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Black Flying Dragon moved the right cannon directly behind the middle soldier.

Wales glanced up at the black dragon; this player didn't seem like a novice at all.

"Speaking of which, didn't anyone from the port area contact you yesterday?"

Black Dragon didn't care what Wales was thinking and started chatting.
