Crossing the azure as a black dragon

"You yourself said that this is the twentieth year since then. Can you be sure that your outdated reconnaissance system can see through their ambush? Besides, I don't recall us having a tradition of sending our commanders deep into enemy territory before a battle?"

Tosa glanced at the black dragon and retorted without hesitation.

Black Flying Dragon was speechless; she really couldn't answer either of those questions.

Left with no other option, Black Flying Dragon turned his attention to Heavenly City.

"Tosa makes a good point, and you also mentioned that the Eastern Navy will give you an aircraft carrier fleet this time. Can you imagine how the people at headquarters will react when they find out that you went to Australia alone to fight the Sirens after the meeting?"

Amagi smiled and delivered an additional blow to the Black Dragon.

"Ah, but only we and the Sirens know how powerful Tosa is. The other commanders don't. Can she stabilize morale if she goes?"

Black Flying Dragon chuckled dryly; she really couldn't imagine it.

"Regarding this, a rather famous person will go with Tosa. With her there, there will be no problem maintaining morale."

Amagi said.

"Who?"

Black Flying Dragon frowned, then immediately realized that, apart from herself, the only other well-known ship girls were New Jersey and Shinano. New Jersey definitely couldn't come, so it had to be Shinano.

"You had already made your decision before I arrived, didn't you?"

Once he realized what was happening, Black Flying Dragon crossed his arms and looked at the two people in front of him, his tone somewhat unfriendly.

That's roughly the situation.

Amagi readily admitted it.

"It just so happens that your little fox is watching over the Sakura Empire, and White Dragon..."

"We don't have anything else to do, so why don't you come and help us out? It'll be good if we can get some more intelligence."

Amagi continued, speaking in a rather casual tone.

"Uh."

Tiancheng's sudden bluntness made Black Flying Dragon a little uncomfortable.

"You should keep this idea to yourself; it's kind of scary to say it out loud."

Tosa also narrowed his eyes.

"Good~"

Amagi responded with a smile.

"...So, should I bring them over now?"

Black Flying Dragon rubbed his hair. Tiancheng's idea of ​​making use of waste was indeed quite frightening, but not unacceptable.

"Go ahead, and while you're at it, take Tosa to visit the Sakura Empire."

Amagi waved his hand.

Black Flying Dragon looked at Tosa, who then walked alongside her, and the two disappeared into the office.

"..."

After the two left, Amagi got up, took a map from the bookshelf, unfolded it, and looked at the South China Sea, the Indian Ocean, Australia, and Antarctica.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: I think you're making things difficult for me, Long.

"Speaking of which, I think I mentioned to Nagato before that I wanted to open a portal."

The moment Black Dragon entered the shuttle tunnel, he remembered the promise he made with Nagato.

"what?"

Tosa, who was also floating in the void, was distracted for a moment and did not hear Black Flying Dragon's mutterings.

"It's nothing. But you, are you nervous?"

Black Flying Dragon glanced at Tosa and made a joking remark with a smile.

What do you think?

Tosa gave a soft hum, showing no intention of replying.

Seeing this, Black Dragon shrugged. Since there was no objection, it must be true.

About five minutes later, Black Dragon and his companion arrived at a lawn shaded by trees. Directly in front of them was a high ground fault line, from which they could see the first and most prosperous layer of the three-layered island of Sakura Empire.

Tosa didn't speak, but quietly observed the scenery before her. The familiar figures walking through the market square made her feel nostalgic, but unfortunately... a trace of loneliness flashed before Tosa's eyes.

This is not the world she lives in; everyone she sees is a familiar stranger.

Black Flying Dragon thought for a moment, then reached out and hooked his arm around Tosa's shoulder, leaning her closer. His expression turned serious: "Doesn't it feel strange? I understand."

"What do you know?"

Tosa raised her hand to push Black Flying Dragon away, but hesitated for a moment and then put it down. She wanted to hear what kind of nonsense Black Flying Dragon could spout.

"Due to the unique nature of my birth experiment, I actually have no memories of the ship era. When I suddenly woke up, all I was facing was the vast ocean."

Black Flying Dragon composed himself, a hint of nostalgia flashing in his eyes.

When she suddenly transmigrated to this world, she drifted alone at sea for half a month before meeting Helena and the others. Now she admires her own adaptability back then. The reason she has always been so honest is that she was afraid of being lonely and afraid of upsetting others when dealing with them.

"No wonder your personality is so different from the dragons I know."

Tosa glanced at Black Flying Dragon. She really didn't know about this. A few days ago, she looked through Black Flying Dragon's information, but it wasn't mentioned. She thought it was just a genetic mutation.

"Haha, everyone thinks I'm weird because of this."

Black Flying Dragon smiled. In the past, she had emphasized that she and Flying Dragon were not on the same boat, but now she was used to it.

"That's really strange. Let's go, don't waste our time."

Tosa brushed aside Black Flying Dragon's arm, turned around and walked out of the shade of the tree. Black Flying Dragon, not being a stranger, followed Tosa with a smile.

It's sunny and warm in Donghuang, but it's cloudy here, and with the sea breeze, it doesn't feel hot at all.

Following the small stone path, the two gradually approached the stairs connecting the three floors. In the small bamboo grove by the roadside, a group of destroyers were playing hide-and-seek. A little guy saw the Black Dragon and the other two standing there thinking for a while, and was immediately caught by the ghost, turning into a bitter face.

"See that kendo dojo over there? There's a Tosa there too. Shall we go and pay him a visit?"

Black Dragon looked around but couldn't find a suitable spot. Finally, after arriving at the spacious platform, he pointed to the classic Sakura-style kendo dojo across from him, which was near the steps.

Do you think it's necessary?

Tosa didn't even lift his eyelids, showing no interest in Black Flying Dragon's suggestion.

"I personally think it's quite interesting."

Black Flying Dragon gave a thumbs-up in approval.

Whenever Feilong encounters her, he will always request a sparring match. She wonders if the same thing would happen if the two Tosa were to get together.

Tosa glanced at the intrigued Black Flying Dragon, then suddenly changed his mind, crossed his arms, and struck a pose of utter disdain: "Let's go take a look then."

"Let's put this matter aside for now and take care of the important business first."

Black Flying Dragon coughed lightly, pointed to the shrine above, and turned to start climbing the steps.

Tosa smiled slightly, glancing at the wooden door of the kendo dojo that suddenly opened, and followed Black Flying Dragon at a leisurely pace.

"That is?"

The one who opened the door was Tosa herself, dressed in a white training uniform. The one who asked the question was Ashigara, who was inside the dojo. The purple-haired girl with animal ears looked at 'Tosa' with waist-length silver-gray hair, and then glanced at the black dragon in front of her, feeling a little strange.

"She is very strong."

Tosa narrowed her eyes; although her gaze only brushed against 'Tosa''s, she still sensed...

She could see the confidence and contempt for the weak emanating from the other person's bones, just like her. However, besides these two things, there seemed to be other emotions mixed in her eyes.

"Did Black Dragon run into someone he knew again?"

Together with the two were Takao and Toriumi. Toriumi was the one speaking, while Takao was kneeling beside them repairing a wooden sword.

"again."

Tosa closed the door, sat down, and looked at Toriumi.

She wasn't interested in other people, but seeing another, stronger version of herself stirred up a strange competitive spirit within her.

"Hmm, I heard before that Black Dragon found her sister Azure Dragon in the Royal Family, but according to her name it is Black Azure Dragon. Could it be that this Tosa is also part of the 'Black' series?"

Toriumi nodded, then reached out and poked his cheek.

"Black series?"

Tosa frowned. She had been guarding this place all along and didn't know much about what was going on outside. But what the hell was the Black Series? Could it be a second-generation ship girl?

"I'm not entirely clear on the specifics either. Should we ask them later?"

Toriumi shrugged, looking somewhat innocent.

“Hmm…” Tosa’s mind flashed with the image of 'Tosa’, and after thinking for a moment, he said, “I remember that Haku and the others are in the training ground down there. Let’s go and invite them over. Tell them that Kurohiryu has arrived.”

For some reason, she felt that she might not be able to beat the 'black' Tosa.

……

On the other side, Black Flying Dragon led Tosa to the top of the mountain. As always, it was quiet. The two crossed Tottori and arrived at the front hall of the shrine, but still did not see a single person.

"Why is there no one here? Did they all go to the mainland?"

Black Dragon stepped forward and touched the wishing box. It wasn't dusty, which meant that someone was still looking after it.

"there."

Tosa looked around and pointed to a large tree in the side hall on the right.

Black Flying Dragon looked up and saw two black cats, one big and one small, facing off on a thick branch of a large tree. The larger cat was trembling slightly, but it still slowly approached the smaller cat.

"Shancheng, what are you doing up there?"

Black Dragon walked over and raised his hand to greet the big cat dressed as a shrine maiden.

"Ah! Your Highness Black Dragon, Kitten seems to be throwing a tantrum and has been avoiding me. I was chasing it and it ended up like this."
