Shut up! I'm not a destroyer!

However, the leader of the pigeon people in front didn't know whether he didn't understand or didn't want to care, so he just led the way in silence.

Suddenly, the leader of the pigeon people stopped.

Vittorio perked up.

He glanced at the other pigeon people who were also following silently without cooing, and those guys also stopped.

It looks like we have reached our destination.

Where they stopped, a towering tree stood in the woods that had returned to silence without the sound of footsteps, somewhat out of tune with the surrounding trees.

If the surrounding trees are a primitive jungle that can be hugged by two people, then the big tree in front is the ancient tree where the elves build their nests.

The trunk of the tree is so thick that it would be difficult for five people to hug it together.

NO.250 The familiar 'wave'

"Legend has it that before the Admiral Academy was founded, a great battle broke out between the heroic shipgirl and the dean of the Deep Sea on this island, and the entire island was reduced to ruins..."

Veneto looked at the huge tree trunk in front of him and remembered the legend he had heard long, long ago.

Of course, she heard this legend again when she returned to the Admiral Academy as a freshman.

Campus legends have always been a form of leisure entertainment for people with busy academic schedules.

Even students who are completely oblivious to what is happening outside will have heard about it.

Of course, the students in boarding schools are the ones who understand it best.

At night, we get together in the dormitory, turn off the lights, and discuss these things. The atmosphere is just right.

Unfortunately, the Admiral's College only has boarding students, no day students.

Moreover, first-year students live in shared dormitories, and senior students will live in separate apartments only when they have ship girls.

In addition, the Admiral's Academy is a well-established and prestigious school with a long history.

Almost all freshmen will go through a ghost story conference.

Generally, not many people believe it and just treat it as a topic of conversation.

Who will really meet the campus legend...

Veneto had thought so before.

Now?

Veneto, who was caught up in the incident, said she didn't want to think about anything now.

However, sometimes, people's wishes are destined to be shattered.

Just like now.

Although Veneto didn't want to get involved, the group of pigeon people didn't seem to think so.

As they gathered together, Veneto felt that the living space for himself and his ship girls was gradually being compressed.

"kongkong!"

Suddenly, a hollow voice sounded.

Veneto turned around and saw the leader of the pigeon people hitting the trunk of the giant tree with his hands.

"Kong!"

It's quite rhythmic, two times empty and one time, then two times empty and one time.

"signal?"

Veneto asked Vittorio in a low voice.

“Is this tree hollow?”

Vittorio asked Veneto quietly.

"how could I know."

The two of them spoke in unison and used their tacit understanding to an unnecessary extent.

"Squeak!"

The sound of dry wood rubbing against each other was heard.

A door actually opened on the trunk of the huge tree.

Or simply lift up a rectangular piece of bark from the trunk.

"Is it a flip-top? Or... So, didn't they say that the entire Rhodes Island became bald during that war? Where did such a big tree come from?"

Veneto looked at the dark tree hole with an unsightly expression.

It's fine now that we're just in the woods, but once we enter this dark tree hole...

In the woods, we can still trace the reinforcements coming.

If there is any problem with the tree hole, if she and Vittorio go in, they might be completely cut off from the reinforcements.

"Cuckoo!"

The leader of the pigeon people changed his previous calmness and pointed at the hole revealed by the thick bark of the tree, and spoke loudly to Veneto and her ship girl.

"Speak human language, I don't understand!"

Veneto shook his head, trying to get away with it.

"Cuckoo! Cuckoo!"

The leader of the pigeon people casually pointed at a few pigeon people.

The pigeon people rushed up with a serious look, cooing and pursing their beaks.

"Hey! What are you doing?"

Veneto guessed what the pigeon people leader wanted from him, so he would not kill him now.

So I tried to delay time.

Although she is a white-haired loli, she is still a ship girl after all.

After struggling for a while, the two crickets and the pigeons really couldn't hold Veneto down.

The situation on Vittorio's side was more serious. There were too many pigeons on board, and they pinned Vittorio down and made him unable to move.

"Coo! Coo! Coo!"

The pigeon leader stood in front of the tree hole and jumped in anger.

After holding it in for a long time, I finally let go of the burden of being a leader.

He waved his arms in an attempt to get involved and help his men lift Vittorio.

The original idea was to lift Vittorio up and throw him into the tree hole, which would be similar to some adventure movies.

However, the reality is more skeletal.

There was no way to lift Vittorio while holding her down.

Even tying you up won't work.

Even if they made a wooden cross and nailed Vittorio to it, the frame would be broken if Vittorio twisted his waist slightly.

The pigeon leader tried, but Veneto broke free from the grip of the two pigeon men.

The leader had to leave Vittorio behind and deal with Veneto's problem.

However, when she turned around, Vittorio broke free from the pigeon man who was holding her down.

This caused the blue flame on the pigeon man leader's head to swell twice as large, and he was obviously extremely annoyed.

"Om..."

A faint humming sound came from the air.

Veneto looked up and saw a miniature reconnaissance plane flying by quickly, and the camera taking pictures reflected a little moonlight.

Only then did the two stop torturing the pigeon man leader.

The latter hurriedly gave instructions and stuffed the two into the tree hole.

"crunch..."

The bark slowly closed with the sound of dry wood rubbing against each other.

"What on earth is going on? The hole isn't that big...ah..."

As Veneto began to question his situation, he felt his feet go empty.

Because his mouth was not closed, even his scream was choked by the wind that rushed in, and was only able to rush out of his throat.

The feeling of weightlessness lasted for a while, and then nothing happened.

I don't know if it kept falling or held on.

Because the wind is gone.

"What's the bottom? Your feet haven't even touched the ground yet."

Veneto said a few words and found that there was no problem in communication.

"It's too dark to see."

Vittorio was also a little confused.

Veneto shrank slightly into the arms of his own ship girl.

Those pigeons were naked, without any bags or ropes on their backs.

So the two Veneto were not tied up at all.

"There is light."

Vittorio said suddenly.

"where?"

Veneto looked around, and it was still pitch black.

"Underfoot."

Vittorio held his admiral's little head with one hand and pushed it down.

Veneto saw a faint blue light getting closer and closer.

"Wow! We're still falling! How do we stop?!"

This time, Admiral Baimao panicked.

At the rate at which the light spot was growing, if the two of them continued to fall like that, even the ship girls would not be able to handle it.

"hold me."

Vittorio tightened his arms and held his admiral in his arms.

She planned to use it as a cushion underneath, at least the admiral had a meat cushion.

"wrong."

Veneto stared at the light for a moment.

“Slowed down.”

Vittorio also reflected.

"Om~"

A strange vibrating sound came from the direction of the light.

The two could only judge from the light spots that their falling speed was slowing down, and there was no other reference.

As the blue light grew larger, it could even illuminate the faces of the two people.

They then realized that there were still tree trunks around them, and that they were moving upwards at a very slow speed, which meant that they were descending very slowly.

"Buzz...bo~"

It was like passing through a layer of soap bubbles. After a "bo" sound, the feeling of weightlessness came again.
