Crossing the azure as a black dragon

Looking at the rabbit ears of the black dragon that overlapped with the headband, Kewei narrowed his eyes.

"...Rabbit ears are really inconvenient, you know. I can only sleep in a big bed."

Black Flying Dragon also noticed that the headband was a one-to-one replica of her ears; ordinary rabbit ears weren't this long.

Each of the ship girls in Sakura Empire has an animal as a reference, but they are also beautified in terms of the animal's appearance. For example, there is the rabbit that is two meters tall with ears, like the Black Flying Dragon, and the fox with a fluffy tail that seems to have its own life, like Shinano Amagi.

"I've already experienced this."

Fearless glanced at Black Dragon. During their previous journey, Black Dragon hadn't hidden its ears thanks to her insistence, and then she realized how troublesome the physical characteristics of Sakura Empire ship girls were in daily life.

Ship girls like the Black Flying Dragon are fine; all you need to do is raise the door and lengthen the bed. But for those ship girls with tails or sharp horns, you'd probably have to be extra careful even when sleeping.

Black Flying Dragon chuckled dryly, having nothing to refute.

Kewei didn't pay too much attention to the rabbit ears, and reached out to pick up the brown velvet fox ear headband next to him and put it on his head.

"..." x2

Not only the black dragon, but even Hermione showed a subtle expression.

"Um, actually I'm not a fox enthusiast."

Looking at the expressionless, fearsome man with fox-ear headband, Black Flying Dragon hesitated for a moment before telling the truth.

The reason she cared about Tiancheng was mainly because Tiancheng was very smart and always very calm. She thought that as long as she stayed by Tiancheng's side, she would not feel lost about the future.

Therefore, whether Amagi has fox-like features or not is not important to her; she simply admires Amagi as a person.

"..."

Kewei also revealed a subtle expression.

Chapter Five: Critical Sakura

No matter how much Black Dragon denied it, Fearless still took away a headband with ear flaps and even got a fluffy tail.

Yes, right after Black Dragon said she wasn't a fox enthusiast, Murmansk pulled out her custom-made items, including a fox girl cosplay outfit.

Even someone as thick-skinned as Black Flying Dragon couldn't quite handle the awkward situation.

"Are you sure you don't need to choose anything else?"

Leave Moore

Behind Mansk's shop, Black Dragon couldn't help but speak to Formidable, who was fiddling with a Black Dragon doll that was 5:1 the size of herself.

To my shame, I've known Kewei for over a year now, but aside from knowing that she likes sweets, taking naps, afternoon tea, and karaoke, I don't really know much about her other hobbies.

It's also possible that Kewei was too lazy to show it, but she still felt that she hadn't noticed, which was her dereliction of duty as a partner.

"Huh? Didn't you already pick them out for me?"

Ke Wei stopped torturing the doll, a slight smile on his face, and looked at the black dragon.

That's what they say...

Black Flying Dragon touched his cheek, unsure of what to say.

Besides the custom-made plush toys and cosplay outfits, she also bought a lot of cute hair accessories, including the flower-shaped hair accessory that she had seen near the church.

However, Kewei doesn't usually wear jewelry; at most, she wears sparkly earrings when attending banquets or similar events. Therefore, Kewei didn't choose it herself, and she didn't know if it could be considered a gift.

"Hum~"

Seeing the Black Flying Dragon's conflicted expression, Ke Wei's lips curled up and he let out a pleased sound.

Normally, Black Dragon always has a smile on his face or is calm and composed. Compared to these expressions that she is used to seeing, she prefers to see Black Dragon show panic or other expressions because of her.

Because at least at this moment, Black Dragon was only thinking about her.

"Hmm, I remember there's an Italian restaurant up ahead that's pretty good. Let's go there for lunch."

Black Flying Dragon, not quite understanding what "Kaiwei Zai Le" meant, shook his head and pointed to the restaurant across the intersection.

"It's really rare that you would recommend a restaurant outside of Donghuang."

Fear handed the black dragon doll to Hermione, who was standing nearby, and put it away. He then reached out and took the black dragon's left hand, smiling as he spoke.

"Haha, it's nice to try foreign cuisine once in a while."

Black Flying Dragon smiled.

She felt that the reason Belfast surpassed her, a "genuine" Eastern contestant, in culinary skills was most likely because she had integrated the cooking techniques of different countries. Since she had some free time, she wondered if she could improve her own cooking skills.

Listening to Black Flying Dragon's introduction of the dishes, even the initially uninterested Ke Wei showed an expectant smile.

……

After lunch, Black Dragon took Fear back to his home in the Freeport District.

Like Yuudachi, after living with the Black Dragon for a long time, the previously irregular afternoon naps of the Fearful One have returned to a normal routine. He will take a short nap after lunch and go to bed before 10 pm.

However, Black Dragon himself did not have the habit of taking a nap.

"That's strange."

Black Flying Dragon, holding his coffee, looked up at the sun obscured by clouds and let out a sigh that seemed to have no meaning.

Her body is too 'energetic'. She used to feel sleepy occasionally, but now she can go for days without sleep without any problems as long as she doesn't want to. She is trying to be like an ordinary person in her mind, but her body is going against her mind and is constantly 'growing'.

After finishing his last sip, Black Flying Dragon paid the bill, went up to the fourth floor, and pushed open the door to the tactical command room.

This place was originally empty, but after Tiancheng moved in, many components were added. For example, the ocean simulation device in the center of the room, which looks like a pool table, is the miniature mirror space that Black Dragon once used briefly in Donghuang.

Long tables and bookshelves have been added to both sides of the installation, and in just two weeks, thousands of documents have been piled up.

"Aren't you going to rest?"

Seeing the figure sitting upright at the far end of the room, Black Flying Dragon knocked on the door as a reminder.

"The mission arrived faster than I expected, which shows they urgently need your participation."

Amagi stopped typing and picked up the slightly cooled tea beside him.

"You mean they're in trouble?"

Black Flying Dragon closed the door and found a place to sit down.

"Perhaps, the Northern Alliance and the White Eagle manage intelligence very tightly. It is difficult to judge what they have encountered and what they want to do based on the information that has been leaked. The Siren in the Arctic Ocean alone could not possibly bring these two countries together. There must be reasons that we do not yet know, including their desire to conquer the Pacific Ocean."

Tiancheng took a sip of tea and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"..."

Hei Feilong's lips twitched. Tiancheng had steered the conversation to a level that Tiancheng would never even consider. Could it be that her political awareness was not high enough?

She couldn't respond to that at all.

"Of course, these things are not important to us. What is important is how to cooperate with them."

Tiancheng changed the subject and brought it back to the main topic.

"The headquarters said they should help deal with the Sakura Empire issue."

Black Flying Dragon gathered his scattered thoughts and spoke very honestly.

"Wrong."

Tiancheng looked at the black dragon, his expression somewhat serious.

"Where is wrong?"

Black Flying Dragon's eyes flickered slightly. Did Amagi summon people not to deal with the Sakura Empire?

"The conditions are not equal. Dealing with the Sakura Empire is not worth your assistance at all."

Amagi said in a calm tone.

"How is it not equal?"

Black Dragon was somewhat confused. Although she also felt that comparing herself to Sakura Empire was inappropriate, Sakura Empire was ultimately...

She felt that it was acceptable for a country to only provide assistance.

"In my opinion, even if the Northern Alliance and the White Eagles joined forces, they still couldn't match your strength. What do you think?"

Amagi answered very directly.

"Uh…"

Black Flying Dragon lowered her head and touched her hair. She was very happy that Tiancheng could say such things, but what could truly influence the world was the nation. No matter how strong her personal power was, she could never place herself above the nation.

We need to make a living, after all.

"Okay, let's get down to business. First, you should adopt a more assertive stance during the meeting. Then, regarding assistance matters, you cannot travel with their group. You should only step in if the coalition encounters an uncontrollable enemy."

Tiancheng was satisfied with Black Flying Dragon's tacit approval, so he began to provide guidance.

"Isn't this too harsh?"

Hei Feilong frowned upon hearing this. If she wasn't with the team, wouldn't it be impossible to control casualties in the event of an accident?

"This is difficult to explain in a short time, but this condition is by no means unreasonable. Compared to the compensation we are asking for, this is already a very big concession."

Tiancheng didn't elaborate, but his natural tone made Heifeilong somewhat doubt himself.

What are our requirements?

Taking a breath, Black Flying Dragon asked.

"When Sakura Empire is attacked by Sirens, have the Northern Alliance send a fleet to provide support."

Amagi put down his teacup, his tone light and almost casual.

Wasting time

As the title suggests, I skipped today.

Although not many people see this, I think it's better to say something.
