Ship girls have inherited memories. Historical ship girls will wake up from the nightmares woven by their own experiences, and project ship girls will constantly recall people's requirements and expectations of them.

And in her memory, there was the plague in the air cavity of the first-generation shells, the war brought by artillery fire to various places, the famine caused by the outbreak of war, and the death that ended in death...

This is what her creators expected of her.

Since her birth, everything seemed to force her to be the knight of the apocalypse—the battles when she was alone, the attacks when she was in the port area, all of them were like this.

She felt her hand being held.

Lorraine opened her eyes and took Burgundy's hand.

"Awake?" Lorraine was a little tired. After all, he had performed a simple operation on Burgundy when he boarded the plane. As a shipgirl researcher, he knew how to treat shipgirls. It was just not as effective as a medical shipgirl.

Burgundy rarely struggled, but just opened his eyes and looked at him.

Lorraine looked at Burgundy, "How do you feel?"

Burgundy nodded.

"That's fine." Lorraine's eyes were filled with fatigue. From falling into the water to getting ashore, and then boarding the plane for the surgery, he hadn't slept deeply for 27 hours. Even after the surgery, he only slept for two hours. He also had neurasthenia.

Burgundy then noticed that Lorraine's eyes were blue-purple, just like the starry sky she had seen that night.

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

She wanted to touch these beautiful eyes, but after thinking about it, she gave up and finally just shook Lorraine's hand.

Luo Lin smiled and shook her hand vigorously. "We are on the helicopter back to Tianhai City. After you were unconscious for four hours, the nearby rescue helicopter arrived."

"I sutured you after we got on the helicopter. I hope you don't feel offended..." Lorraine looked at her.

Burgundy just shook his head, "It's okay."

After thinking for a moment, she added, "Thank you."

Lorraine smiled but said nothing.

"But why me?" Burgundy said.

"What?" The helicopter was so loud that Lorraine couldn't hear clearly.

"Why me?" Burgundy said a little louder, "In fact, I may not be worthy of you doing this." Burgundy did not look at him, and this time there was a hint of fear in his voice.

Lorraine held her hand and said, "Pragmatists and nihilists are actually very close. You feel that this is not worth it today, and that is not worth it tomorrow. In the end, you will feel that nothing is worth it."

Burgundy obviously didn't want to hear the lecture, she turned her head away.

Oh, it would be enough if you just said those meaningless nonsense and stabbed me.

Of course, this sentence was not spoken out loud.

When Lorraine saw Burgundy like this, he felt happy for the first time. "Well, I want to save you." He said seriously.

Burgundy laughed at himself, "Save me? Why should I need you to save me?"

"Burgundy." Lorraine called softly, "Just like I stood in front of you last night, I don't want to give up on you. As for why... just consider it my selfishness."

Burgundy was stunned, she hadn't expected such an answer.

So……

"Okay." She nodded.

"We're almost there in Tianhai City." Lorraine said, looking at the scene on the ground.

Burgundy closed his eyes gently and held Lorraine's hand tightly without letting go.

A mysterious thread connected the two people along their clasped hands.

"You..." Lorraine was surprised, "You agreed?"

"The third Alsace-class battleship, belonging to the Knights of the Iris Theocracy, is the battleship Burgundy. Greetings to you, my commander. Although I don't think you made the right decision." Burgundy looked at him, with less resistance and more reassuring rhythm in her eyes.

Lorraine sat up and straightened his collar. Burgundy's sudden seriousness made the corners of his mouth curl slightly, but he quickly returned to his expressionless face.

"Welcome, Battleship Burgundy. Whether this choice is right or wrong, time will decide."

Chapter 4 Afterwards

The helicopter landed at the maritime base in Tianhai City.

As soon as the plane landed, Burgundy was carried out and quickly handed over to the medical team in the base.

While receiving treatment in Burgundy, Lorraine was also taken to a shelter on the base where he needed to undergo some examinations.

He sat down in an office.

Not long after, a ship girl with green hair and wearing an OL outfit sat down opposite him with a notebook.

The maritime bases are all under the jurisdiction of the Azur Lane organization, so these bases are naturally dominated by the ship girls.

This is no exception.

Lorraine recognized her; this was the Royal Cruiser Shropshire.

"Hello, Lorraine." Shropshire smiled first.

"Hello, Shropshire," Lorraine responded.

"As expected of a researcher, you remember it clearly." Shropshire nodded. "Then let's get straight to the point."

"Wait, can I ask a question first?" Lorraine said.

Shropshire saw through his thoughts immediately, "Are you worried about Burgundy? She's receiving treatment, and our base's best support ship is personally involved."

"Is it the Kitchen Goddess?"

"Delta," Shropshire said. Lorraine breathed a sigh of relief. At least it was a historically meritorious ship, which was not bad.

But did Delta have them all? This world is really surprising. The Kitchen Goddess and Akashi finally don’t have to work themselves to death.

"Then let's get started." Lorraine nodded and leaned back in his chair.

The man was quite calm, Shropshire observed, opening the laptop he had brought with him.

"We've checked your ID and there's nothing wrong with it, so we're just asking a few questions about your experience."

So Lorraine recounted in detail the whole process from the time he boarded the merchant ship to the time he was rescued.

"So, you contracted Burgundy in the ruins of XD323's port area?"

"That's it."

Shropshire's fingers flew across the keyboard. Although she had a recorder, she was still in the habit of writing it down herself based on the person's statement.

She was a little surprised.

"Burgundy is not an easy ship girl to deal with." Shropshire glanced at Lorraine and noticed her clear eyes.

"Really? Maybe I'm born to be liked?" Lorraine said.

Shropshire shook his head. "According to Burgundy's sortie report, she's not one to follow orders."

"It's normal for ship girls to have their own judgment. The battlefield changes rapidly." Lorraine responded.

"You know what I'm talking about," said Shropshire.

"I invited her, and she agreed." Lorraine didn't back down. As expected, no two shipgirls were alike, even if they were all Shropshire.

This Shropshire is so unadorable.

Shropshire confirmed the records were correct.

"Then can I go now?" Lorraine watched the other party close the notebook and turn off the recorder.

Shropshire smiled and said, "Don't worry, Burgundy's treatment will take some time, and you can't enter the ward if you go now."

Lorraine, who was about to stand up, leaned back in his chair again.

"What are your plans next?" Shropshire also changed into a more comfortable posture and picked up the kettle on the table to pour a glass of water for Lorraine, but Lorraine declined.

"It's so hard to find a ship girl who is willing to follow me, so of course I have to read the book again." Lorraine shrugged.

"You studied in the research department?"

"Yes, the research department of Tianhai Maritime Academy, the main research direction is warship design."

"Then you'd better hurry up, because the enrollment for the Command Department of Tianhai Maritime Academy this year is about to end." Shropshire reminded.

Lorraine glanced at the electronic clock on the table. The date on it showed that today was already the end of July.

"thanks for reminding."

"You're welcome." Shropshire smiled kindly, checked the time, and stood up.

"Go ahead. You can go to the medical department now and go directly to the ward." Shropshire packed up his things and watched Lorraine stand up without hesitation and walk out quickly, blending into the dying night.

How interesting, Lorraine… Shropshire thought.

The shipgirls born from the Mind Cube can feel more things, such as moods and emotions. They are especially sensitive to strangers.

What Shropshire saw in Lorraine was a concern, which, although not pure and without any impurities, at least came from the heart.

In the ward, Burgundy recovered from anesthesia. The first person to appear was a blonde mature lady, her attending physician, Delta.

She seemed to have been transferred out of the operating room, after all, the shadowless light above her head was not seen.

"Thank you." Burgundy's voice was a little hoarse.

"It's basically all dealt with. How did you get yourself into this state?" Delta said angrily. "You combatants, why are you all so disrespectful? Don't you know that your own death would be the biggest loss? If you run into a scumbag like that, just give him a blast..."

Delta's chatter was interrupted by the hurried sound of the door opening, and Lorraine hurried in.

"Delta, Burgundy..."

"She's fine." Delta interrupted Lorraine and looked at her. "How could you bear to let her get hurt so badly? Luckily, she was treated on the way. Otherwise, she wouldn't be lying in bed. She could have been sent directly to the shipbreaking yard, okay?"

"Really? Everyone thinks the ship girls are omnipotent..." Delta's words were scolding at first, but when Lorraine walked quickly to Burgundy with a forced smile and sat down, she started talking about Burgundy's subsequent recovery, and finally shifted to the daily maintenance of the ship girls.

"That's about it, remember!" Delta took a sip of water and stood up. "I'm going to check on the ward. If you let Burgundy become like this again, I'll break your legs."

"Thank you, Miss Delta. I've taken note of it." Lorraine nodded sincerely.

"That would be best." The blonde lady nodded with satisfaction and then walked out of the ward.

"Sorry, I'm late." Lorraine looked at Burgundy, who just shook his head slightly to indicate that it was okay.

"That's good." Lorraine finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What Delta said actually makes sense. If you really meet that kind of scumbag, you should give him a blast." Lorraine looked at her and said.

Burgundy was stunned for a moment, "What if that person is you?"

As soon as she said this, she regretted it.

"Sorry." She avoided Lorraine's gaze.

But the other party's actions surprised her again.

Lorraine shook her head gently, "It's okay. If that day ever comes, it's fine for you to do that."

The drooping bangs covered Burgundy's eyes, preventing Lorraine from seeing her gaze. "I thought you were going to say something like 'There won't be such a day'."

The promises on the battlefield are all lies... Burgundy thought.

But this doesn't seem to be a battlefield.

"Well, no one can be sure of the future, so I won't make these guarantees. After all, I am just an ordinary person." Lorraine smiled.

Burgundy turned to look out the window of the hospital room. Ordinary people? Ordinary people wouldn't waste their time on a shipgirl with a bad record like her, or even stand in her way.

"Hey, Burgundy, do you want to go to school?" Lorraine also looked out the window.

It is now eight o'clock in the morning, the sun has risen as usual, and Tianhai has ushered in a new day.

Chapter 5 Sunset

"Go to school?" Burgundy was a little confused.

Lorraine nodded, "Yes, Maritime Academy."

"What's the point? Don't we all end up on the battlefield in the end?" Burgundy was about to say this.

But she remembered the descriptions of that place given by other shipgirls in the XD323 port area.

It seems to be a beautiful place, without killing and death.

"What kind of place is that?" she asked finally.
