Crossing the azure as a black dragon

The only similarities between the two ports are that they don't put too much pressure on the port's ship girls and they can both accept external requests.

"You must remember that you are the core of this port area, and no other person or thing can replace you."

The Prince of Wales stopped, walked over, patted Black Dragon on the shoulder, and left the command room.

Black Flying Dragon scratched his head, walked to his desk, sat down, and began listing the various feedback he had received.

Wales spoke very directly, and even she could understand him at a glance. To sum it up, she could be a hands-off manager, but she had to communicate and interact more with the ship girls here, as it was her responsibility as the port manager.

He wrote several pages in the notebook, and after he finished, Black Dragon looked up at the time and realized it was already past one o'clock.

"The concert starts at three o'clock, it's about time to go."

Finally, after writing his contact number in his notebook, Black Flying Dragon stood up, stretched, and disappeared into the air from the office.

……

He teleported through space and appeared in his second-floor room. He could hear the commotion downstairs as soon as he opened the door.

"From the fight"

The worker has become a highly skilled worker; this year wasn't a complete waste.

Black Flying Dragon smiled to himself, then went down the stairs to the first floor and arrived at the living room door.

She glanced inside and saw that Avira and Yuudachi had returned, and Santiago was also there, pacing back and forth in the living room, probably worried that she might not make it on time.

"Shall we leave now?"

Black Flying Dragon cleared his throat, stepped into the living room, and asked.

"So slow! We're going to be late!"

Santiago's eyes lit up, but then he complained somewhat discontentedly.

"Haha, something took a while, has everyone had lunch yet?"

Black Flying Dragon smiled, shrugged, and looked at the others.

"Not yet, everyone is waiting for Sister Long to come back so we can go out to eat together."

Yuudachi and Shigure were fighting over a bag of potato chips when Yuudachi let go of Shigure's hand and answered him when he heard Kurohiryu's question.

But when she let go, Shigure was caught off guard and leaned back sharply, almost falling off the seat. Avira, who was next to her, quickly reached out to help her.

"You idiot, let go and give me a heads-up."

Shigure, still shaken, sat up and shouted at Yuudachi with great dissatisfaction.

"Hmph, serves you right for trying to take it from me."

Upon hearing this, Yuudachi made a face at Shigure, then hopped over to the Black Dragon's side, using her as a shield.

"You..."

Shigure wanted to jump up and chase Yuudachi, but Avira chuckled and patted her back, whispering a few words in her ear. Shigure immediately stopped being angry and instead showed a smug expression.

"...The concert venue is in the city center. Let's go find a hotel and have dinner first."

Black Dragon was used to their daily bickering. Although he didn't know what Avira had said, it was good that it would stop their argument.

"Want a ride?"

Santiago looked at Avira and Shigure.

Last year when she invited Black Flying Dragon, there were only two of them, but this year it suddenly became four people. If it weren't for the fact that Fear was in solitary confinement for some reason, there would probably have been seven people in the group.

Such a big change in just one year makes her wonder if there will be ten people in the family next year.

"No need, I'll find a corner to teleport there."

Black Flying Dragon waved her hand, indicating that she had already wasted some time and would probably not make it in time if she took a car over now.

"Alright! Let's hurry over there."

Santiago nodded quickly and urged Black Dragon to open the door.

"Don't rush, the Dragon Boat Festival is next month. Are there any performances in the port area?"

Black Dragon activated its detection function, located a spot in the city center where no one had passed by, and then asked a question.

"Eat zongzi!"

Yuu stood beside him, eager to answer.

"Meat-filled rice dumplings?"

Black Flying Dragon patted Yuudachi's head, and Yuudachi chuckled.

"We don't have any performances here for the Dragon Boat Festival, but there will be some outside performances, I think it's a dragon boat race? You can go and watch if you're interested."

Santiago thought for a moment and then said.

Compared to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival doesn't hold much significance for them. After all, they can run on water, and the nearby rivers are already booked. There's not much for people to see them perform on the sea, so this festival was passed over.

"Really? Then I'll go check it out when I have time."

Black Flying Dragon smiled, waved his hand in the air, and a blue circular portal with a diameter of two meters unfolded, revealing the corner of an alley.

"That's so cool, just like the portals in those movies."

Santiago looked around the portal and praised it without reservation.

"That's it? I'll give you something cooler."

Black Flying Dragon raised an eyebrow and snapped his fingers.

In an instant, the entire room was transformed into the color of a starry sea, as if they had boarded a high-speed train. Countless radiant stars brushed past them all around. When they came to their senses, the group of five had already arrived at their destination.

"Whoa, what was that just now?"

Santiago only realized what was happening after the teleportation ended, and his eyes started sparkling as he looked at the black dragon.

For a moment just now, she felt like she was dreaming; she was so beautiful.

"Here's a little trick. You can come to me to learn it when you get better."

Black Dragon bent down, chuckled, and tapped Santiago's forehead.

"I've got it. It's a deal!"

Santiago nodded seriously.

"It's a word."

Black Dragon repeated it.

Yuudachi and Shigure were not surprised at all. Yuudachi had always thought that Black Dragon was omnipotent, while Shigure had been with Black Dragon since birth and was already used to it. However, when she heard Black Dragon say that he could teach Santiago, a hint of interest appeared on her face.

Having traveled through space with the Black Flying Dragon so many times and inherited some of its energy, Shigure is actually capable of space travel on his own, but he just hasn't had the chance to show it yet.

"Yuudachi and Shigure are the same. If you want to learn, you can come to me. Of course, the premise is that you can already use space travel proficiently."

Black Dragon turned his gaze to Yuudachi and Shigure, not just to Santiago.

Avira watched Black Dragon act like a guardian and couldn't help but chuckle softly.

After a brief exchange, Black Flying Dragon led the way out of the alley and into...

They went to a restaurant and ordered food.

Black Flying Dragon, who had been traveling around with Formidable for half a year, had gotten used to eating in the museum with rabbit ears on her head. She found that the people of the Eastern Empire didn't dislike their Sakura Empire ships at all. Some shopkeepers would even kindly feed her carrots, which made her quite embarrassed.

After a hearty meal, the group leisurely strolled to the perimeter of the venue, where a large crowd had already gathered and were queuing to have their tickets checked before entering.

"It feels like there are even more people than last time, and the venue is much more upscale."

Black Flying Dragon looked out at the outer square, where at least several thousand people were gathered, and there were even vendors taking the opportunity to promote their own goods.

"Of course, because two heavyweight singers are coming this time. If I had to make a comparison, their position among singers is the same as yours in Kantai Collection."

Santiago stood with his hands on his hips, his face beaming with pride.

If she hadn't developed a good relationship with these ticket sellers over the years, she might not have been able to snag five tickets.

"Wow, that's really impressive."

Black Dragon was genuinely surprised this time. Such a heavyweight must be a king-level boss.

Unfortunately, she had long ago made up her mind never to become addicted to her phone, rarely listened to music, and didn't even know who was who.

"what?"

Suddenly, Black Flying Dragon's gaze fell on two women who had just crossed the road and were walking towards them.

Walking in front was a girl with shoulder-length black hair wearing a white coat. She looked to be under sixteen years old and was very cute. However, that was not the main point. The main point was a ship girl behind her with light gray short hair, also wearing a white jacket, with a full and tall figure and a smiling face.

She recognized the ship girl; she was Reno, the second ship of the Oakland-class light cruisers of the White Eagles.

In her eyes, this ship girl possesses an extremely strong energy response. If a comparison must be made, it is that the energy fluctuation is of the same level as that of Rain, and she is a ship girl built by fully utilizing the energy in the Mind Cube.

This is a very absurd thing; such technology should not exist in human society at present.

"This is?"

Avira, who was standing next to him, noticed that Black Dragon's expression had suddenly become serious. Following her gaze, she saw the two of them and expressed surprise as well.

"Could it be that the Donghuang Research Institute had already solved this project a long time ago?"

Black Dragon lowered his voice and spoke to Avira.

Avira shook her head slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Do you remember what I told you about the other world?"

"Something from another world?"

Black Flying Dragon frowned and thought for a moment. Ever since she learned that Avira was Mio from another world, she had dismissed those words as Avira's lies and forgotten them. Now, she really couldn't remember them.

It seems that humanity is on the verge of extinction. A commander named 'Evira' stepped forward and cooperated with the symbiotic faction 'Mio'. In the end, they explored the space that might be connected to the spacetime node and transferred their memories to Evira in this world.

After thinking for a long time, these were the only things she could think of, because Avira had only talked about the other world once.

Wait... a female commander who cooperates with Mio?

Black Dragon glanced at the girl in the distance, then at Avira beside him, and lowered his voice again: "Didn't you make that up to fool me?"
