Crossing the azure as a black dragon

"Is that so? Exchanging names is indeed very important in human society. Please wait a moment."

The girl pondered for a moment, then turned around and began to browse through the books.

Black Dragon nodded to himself. It seemed that the timing of her arrival wasn't too bad; at least Mio had begun to move closer to human society.

About half an hour later, the girl stopped flipping through the pages.

"Are you sure?"

Black Flying Dragon asked.

"It's confirmed."

The girl picked up a piece of white paper, wrote a word on it, and handed it to Black Flying Dragon after the ink dried.

Black Flying Dragon took the paper and saw a familiar word.

"You are a dragon from Sakura Empire, aren't you? I know you; you left a significant mark on Sakura Empire's history."

Mio said to the black dragon.

"No, I am a dragon from the East, a ship born in the future."

Black Flying Dragon refuted Mio's explanation of science.

Do you think I'm easy to fool?

Mio stared quietly at the black dragon, her tone gradually turning cold.

"I'm telling the truth. I come from the future, or possibly from another world in the future."

Black Flying Dragon and Mio looked at each other and said seriously.

"You might find it absurd, but I am a creation that you accidentally created while researching meta ships. The reason I am here is because of these two things, both of which were given to me by you."

Black Dragon displayed rings and pendants.

Mio stared at the two devices for a while, then suddenly sighed.

Black Dragon was puzzled.

"You're early."

Mio said.

Black Dragon revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."

"No, you've come at just the right time."

Mio changed her mind again.

"I'm leaving for a moment, please don't wander off."

Mio stood up and ran out of Black Dragon's sight, leaving the space.

"You can still send me back now."

Black Dragon looked down at the ring and pendant and said that she could feel her stomach convulsing. If this continued, she would have a third mother, spanning the past, present, and future.

Unfortunately, neither of the two gadgets responded.

She didn't have to wait long before Mio returned, leading a girl who was a little younger than her.

“This is my sister. Your life structure is missing a part, and I can't help you at this stage, but she can. She is more skilled at constructing humanoid life forms than I am.”

Mio then provided an introduction.

"…Hello."

Black Flying Dragon looked down at the 'sister' who was sizing her up, and her heart started racing. If Mio hadn't been there, she would have almost drawn her sword and attacked.

"Will I be your enemy in the future?"

The cute girl with short, off-white hair and black mechanical cat ear headband spoke in a soft, pleasant voice.

Black Dragon nodded subconsciously, then immediately shook his head.

"You actually got lost here? Are you an idiot?"

"The cat-eared girl asked."

Black Dragon opened her mouth, wanting to refute, saying that she had been tricked by Avira, but Avira had never harmed her, and there must be a reason why she sent her here, so she chose to remain silent.

"Do you think an idiot like you can beat me?"

The cat-eared girl put her hands on her hips, looked up at the black dragon, and asked another question.

"..."

Black Flying Dragon wanted to kill the little thing with one strike, but Mio and this guy seemed to have a pretty good relationship right now, and if she killed him, she probably wouldn't be able to go back to that relationship for the rest of her life.

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

Chapter Thirty: The Big Explosion

"You are being very rude."

Mio reached out and ruffled the cat-eared girl's hair, gently scolding her.

"But this guy actually showed hostility towards me... Ugh~"

The little guy wanted to argue, but his eyes were quickly squinted from being rubbed, and he looked so comfortable that he was almost snoring.

"Uh, sorry, the situation on my end is a bit complicated, and I haven't switched over yet."

Black Flying Dragon rubbed his temples to calm himself down.

This is a different time and space after all. At least for now, this little thing can't be considered her enemy. Making the relationship too strained is not good for either of them.

"Hmph, someone like you will only be easily fooled by me, you're not worth my time at all!"

Upon hearing this, the cat-eared girl raised her chin, her tone quite disdainful.

Black Flying Dragon's lips twitched slightly; it was indeed the truth, and she really couldn't find any way to refute it.

"Let's end the argument here. I'm sorry, my sister is much more outstanding than me, so I'm a bit proud. Please understand."

Mio stopped the cat-eared girl again and explained to the black dragon.

Black Flying Dragon shook his head to indicate that he didn't care. Then, thinking of Tosa's situation, he spread his hands and said to the two sisters, "On my way here, I encountered quite a few ships that had gone out of control due to metamorphosis. Is this related to the life structure you mentioned?"

A flicker of emotion flashed in the cat-eared girl's eyes as she looked up at Mio, who nodded at her.

"They are related."

After receiving Mio's permission, the cat-eared girl answered Black Dragon with a serious face.

"Is there any hope for those ships that have been corrupted by energy and are out of control, but not completely out of control?"

Black Flying Dragon quickly pressed for more information.

"It's a pity, they are beyond saving."

The cat-eared girl's answer was very straightforward, and the look in her eyes as she looked at the black dragon conveyed the sentiment that 'is that even a question?'

Black Flying Dragon frowned; this was not the answer she wanted.

"It seems that the intelligence you have gathered is not complete. The so-called metamorphosis of ships is actually somewhat accidental. Ordinary ships undergo unimaginable transformations after experiencing energy erosion. If they survive this period, they will gain abnormal power; if they fail, they will fall out of control. This transformation process is irreversible."

When it came to serious matters, the cat-eared girl was quite polite and gave a brief explanation of the black dragon.

Black Flying Dragon raised an eyebrow; this was quite different from what she knew about meta-fication. (Qqun: 543659389*)

"Of course, turning the uncontrollable metamorphosis into a controllable one is also a direction of our research. Since this world has not produced any ship girls that match the above situation for a long time, we have decided to reverse the order. We will first construct a sample of an unconscious ship that has been corrupted by energy, and then put it into an experimental space with various parameters that are uncertain, observe and try to make it directly generate consciousness... Do you understand?"

The cat-eared girl noticed Black Dragon's confusion and responsibly explained more details.

Black Flying Dragon nodded. What this little thing said reminded her of the information she had seen in Mio's laboratory.

When her consciousness arrived in this body, Mio deliberately weakened its intensity to allow her consciousness to adapt to the body. At the time, she thought it was because her willpower was too weak, but now it seems that it may not have anything to do with the strength of her will, but rather that Mio was looking for a balance between consciousness and body.

etc.

.

Black Flying Dragon suddenly thought of Black Azure Dragon. This guy had truly transformed from an ordinary wanderer into a meta-level existence. Could it be that Black Azure Dragon was the real meta ship, and her existence was just an accident?

"Hmph, although you're stupid and even your life structure is flawed, it fully proves that we're on the right track. If the Observer knew, he would definitely praise me!"

The cat-eared girl put her hands on her hips and snorted smugly.

"Yes, yes, that's really amazing!"

Mio smiled gently beside her.

"Is the observer still in this world?"

Black Flying Dragon's eyes flickered slightly.

"No, the Observer left this world not long ago."

"That's what Mio said."

"I see. I understand the situation now. Is there really no way to stop it from getting out of control?"

Black Dragon was inexplicably disappointed, and finally turned his gaze to Mio.

"I'm sorry, perhaps it exists in other worlds, but it's not possible here right now."

Mio avoided the Black Flying Dragon's gaze.

Black Flying Dragon sighed softly. It seemed that the awakening of Tosa would be postponed indefinitely.

"Okay! We've answered all your questions. Now it's my turn to ask you some questions!"

Without giving Black Dragon any time to be sad, the cat-eared girl walked up to her and looked up at her.

Looking at the proud little girl in front of him, Black Flying Dragon couldn't help but reach out to pat her head.

Snapped!

The cat-eared girl slapped her hand away, revealing a disgusted expression.

"...Go ahead and ask."
