Shut up! I'm not a destroyer!

Veneto clasped his hands together and bowed slightly.

The girl made a lot of noise when she slapped the beach, and anyone who heard it would worry about her health.

"Uh……"

I don’t know if it was the pain from my body touching the ground or the pain from the hot sand.

The girl moaned and opened her eyes slightly, revealing her red pupils.

As if she couldn't adapt to the light, she immediately closed her eyelids again.

"Here, water."

Veneto dropped the swordfish in his hand and picked up the water that Mutsu had fetched earlier.

I carried two buckets before, and there is less than half a bucket left.

"What do you want the water for?"

Nagato took the bucket handed to him by Veneto in confusion.

"Don't people who wake up from a coma need water to drink?"

Veneto was also quite confused, as she was doing just as it was shown in the movies.

Isn’t it said that art comes from life? If there is such a scene in the movie, then it should also exist in real life, right?

"Do you all need some water?"

Nagato looked at the frowning girl.

The girl was still confused and didn't ask for water.

"Just a moment."

Nagato shook his head and put the bucket aside.

Seeing the girl lying on the ground with her face wrinkled by the sunlight, the considerate Nagato moved his butt and sat next to the girl, blocking the sunlight with his head.

“You guys… ahem…”

The girl didn't ask for water, but she obviously drank some when she was soaking in the sea water just now.

The sea water, which contained a variety of minerals, fish feces, and dead marine organisms, pickled her throat.

"Forget it, forget it. I think Veneto is still an experienced prophet."

Nagato muttered, scooped up a bucket of water with the ladle in the bucket, and poured some into the girl's mouth.

"who are you?"

After the girl drank the water, at least her hoarse throat recovered a little and was not so dry anymore.

"Nagato, Mutsu, Veneto. Shipgirls."

Nagato pointed at the two that were standing nearby.

"Hello, seniors. I am the pocket battleship, Admiral Count Spee. You seniors won't bully me...right?"

The girl's voice became quieter and quieter as she introduced herself, and the last "right" was almost inaudible.

"Hey, hello Spey, I'm Veneto."

A certain white-haired battleship suddenly came to life.

Although the opponent is the Soo-jin battleship, it is still a battleship.

Veneto felt relieved when he thought that the opponent was a battleship smaller than his own.

"Veneto-senpai."

Although in reality, she served two years earlier than Veneto, but now as a ship girl, she came into this world later.

Calling you "senior" means that in the future everyone will discuss their own issues, ontology discussing ontology, and ship girls discussing ship girls.

"Mutsu, have you finished cleaning up the battlefield?"

Nagato suddenly remembered and yelled at Mutsu.

"Oh sister, I'll go right away."

After watching the excitement for a while, Mutsu turned around and rushed towards the sea.

Veneto shrugged and went back to cooking the fish.

It's always better to replenish energy now. The fish will be cooked soon. Mutsu should have collected all kinds of supplies from the deep-sea wreckage.

By then, we can replenish our resources and be more confident in dealing with the next attack.

Veneto thought that with Spee here, things would be a little easier...but Spee was a new ship girl and there was no hope for her.

This guy is even worse than her, the newbie. He is not sure if he can control the real body after summoning it, let alone fight.

After filling their stomachs with delicious swordfish chunks made by Veneto's otaku, the four mecha girls entered standby mode.

The deep sea doesn't care about day or night, they never have rest.

What they will do is to attack endlessly until the entire ocean is occupied.

I don't know why they have this obsession.

So some human experts would speculate that the deep sea is a scavenger, saving the human environment or something.

But no one has ever understood the specific reason.

NO.265 The Lone Brave Nagato

"I'm exhausted. It never ends."

Veneto was lying on the beach with his arms and legs spread out.

She totally disregarded being a lady...well, she had never been a proper lady, except when she was forced to wear a little skirt by her family's reputation.

That was purely for the sake of prestige.

Beside her are two older sisters, Nagato and Mutsu.

Only the anxious Count Spee was left, circling around her three senior ship girls.

This is already the fourth round of attack after eating swordfish.

Including the round in which Count Spee was exposed, this is already the fifth round.

The endurance of the three ship girls was put to the test.

Not to mention Veneto, the half-baked ship girl, even the other two serious ship girls are a bit overwhelmed.

Mutsu's lively personality was gone. He looked at the stars in the sky with a look of despair on his face, as if he had been tortured by life and could not resist but enjoy it.

Nagato was already snoring, and he didn't even bother to maintain his "goodwill" towards Count Spee, a Rem-like loli.

She was so tired.

Veneto, the least tired of the three ship girls, was now lying on the beach.

She knows her own situation.

One of the main gun barrels has been broken.

The other gun barrels were also in danger and no one knew when they would be destroyed after firing a shot.

At this level, the problem should theoretically be solved by repairing the canal.

Or directly replace the main gun on the ship.

Unfortunately, although her drug cannon was very powerful, the barrel became a quickly consumable item.

She should be thankful that the gun didn't explode because the barrel wasn't working properly, it just wasn't working properly.

The result of not working properly is that the shells fly all over the sky and fail to hit the target.

That means it's useless... It's the same as useless.

If the ammunition chamber exploded, the fire wave might roll back and send her turret directly into the sky.

By then, it will not only be useless, but seriously damaged will be the least of its worries.

Now she still had the strength to moan.

But after moaning, she felt a little relieved.

Under this high-intensity battle, her ability to control her ship equipment and body was further enhanced.

Now, standing on the sea in a ship uniform is much easier than before.

The acceleration, steering, and maneuvering of the main and secondary guns of the vessel are all more responsive than before.

The artillery's ability to hit the enemy has also been greatly improved.

"I don't know when it will end."

Mutsu would take a deep breath at the beginning of a sentence, looking as if he was very tired just from speaking.

Veneto moved his fingers and felt that his consciousness had recovered a little, so he moved his body slightly to make himself more comfortable.

At this moment, she missed the ship girls in Sasebo very much.

If that group of guys were there, they would not only be able to block these attacks, but they might even be able to counterattack.

Judging from the number, the ship girls in Sasebo can work in shifts and are not afraid of this kind of intensity at all.

But on this island, in this defensive position, there are only her and three ship girls.

"boom!"

A sudden explosion sounded from the land not far from the island.

"Oh no, one direction has been lost!"

Nagato suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.

It seemed that she had not entered deep sleep at all.

I don’t even know if she can hear her snoring.

"What should I do, sister? Should I go over there?"

Mutsu also gritted his teeth and sat up.

"I want to go over and take a look. You and Veneto continue to guard here. We can't lose the rear. This is the retreat."

Nagato stood up unsteadily.

Veneto turned his head and watched silently.

Nagato's condition was like that of a centenarian who could collapse at any moment.

It's really heartbreaking to watch.

Now that there is no ship girl to report her injuries, no one knows how many injuries Nagato has.

It was possible that she had exhausted all her willpower to even stand up now.

"elder sister!"

Mutsu was a little worried.

Given her sister's current condition, it always seems like a question whether she can get over there.

Don’t let the entire fleet of ships faint before you even reach the battlefield.

"Don't worry, Mutsu, Veneto and Count Spee, keep guarding here. If I don't come back by the stipulated retreat time... retreat quickly."

Nagato turned around with difficulty, touched his sister's head, and looked at her deeply, as if he wanted to engrave her appearance in his eyes.

Then she turned around and dragged herself towards the center of the island with difficulty.

Mutsu gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly, but he never spoke. He stared in the direction where his sister left, his eyes bloodshot.

She couldn't open her mouth to say anything to persuade her sister to stay, because she knew that even if she did, her sister would not stay.

Whether it's Nagato, her, or other ship girls who fight desperately, in addition to fighting for the future of mankind, they actually have reasons to fight for themselves.

If the deep sea occupies all sea areas, the ship girls will have no way to survive.

They are all creatures that make a living in the ocean, and the competition for resources and living space is an eternal topic.
