Shut up! I'm not a destroyer!

?

Veneto pushed the strange Vittorio away in horror.

She didn't believe that her own ship girl would say such a thing.

This Vittorio must have been transformed from something else.

"You are, you are. From the moment you became a ship girl, you were destined to return to the embrace of the deep sea."

Vittorio's voice suddenly changed. It became more queen-like and full of energy than before, like a husky.

Veneto pushed away the person who was talking to him.

The pair of spherical defense systems in front of her grew significantly larger, and the clothes also changed style.

Vittorio has disappeared, replaced by the white-haired and purple-eyed Fukami Yamato.

"And now, your body has become like mine~"

Fukamiya raised an index finger, placed it on his lips, and said with a sultry look on his face.

Of course, two sickly blushes appeared on her skin, which was so white that it looked like a human's.

It was completely different from the blush on Vittorio's face before, and it made people want to take a bite of it even more.

Unfortunately, this is a deep sea, and even if it makes people drool, Veneto will not take a bite.

"no no!"

Veneto couldn't believe it and felt the blood rushing to his head.

With a bang, everything in front of her eyes became dark.

She didn't know whether she closed her eyes or not.

After waiting for a while, there seemed to be no changes around me, but there was no light in front of me either.

Slowly, she found the nerves that controlled her eyelids again and controlled her eyelids to open.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she felt pain all over her body and in her head.

The ceiling in front of me is familiar yet unfamiliar.

She said it was familiar because the chandelier was the same one she saw before she closed her eyes.

I say it feels strange because the color of the room seems to have changed.

Wait, isn't she in the captain's cabin on her original body?

Veneto woke up a little with a start and quickly stood up to look at his surroundings.

The furnishings in the room were the same as when she went to bed, with a table under the porthole and a gilded desk lamp on it.

The bookshelf against the wall was filled with various bulky books, including those on war and psychology, all in hardcover editions.

As an extremely luxurious Ita-series shipgirl, it is normal for the captain's room to have gold-inlaid books.

You have to know that this ship was known as the most luxurious in Europe back then... Of course the Rome that came later was even more luxurious.

More than half of the shipbuilding factory's energy was spent on the selection of furniture for the ship, the kind that even Jackie Chan couldn't lift.

Veneto lifted the thick European quilt covering him and jumped off the high bed.

To be honest, I have to jump every time I go to bed, which is very tiring.

It was because this bed was so comfortable to sleep on that she couldn't bear to throw it away, otherwise she would rather sleep on the floor.

I walked out through the half-open white hatch, and all I saw was white.

Veneto was stunned. She raised her hand and pinched her face. It hurt. She was not dreaming.

Although she felt pain all over her body, especially in her joints, it was the kind of pain she felt when she had a fever or a bad cold.

But the only thing that doesn't hurt is the face.

At this time, whether pinching the face hurts or not becomes her best basis for judgment.

This was just like the white in her dream, making her face look very ugly.

Isn't it said that things in dreams are the opposite of what they actually are?

Why is it that when it comes to her, everything is the same inside and out?

She couldn't understand why her true body was originally a gray color called mouse gray, a camouflage color that blended with the sea and sky.

But now, it has become snow-white, just like the interstellar battleships in science fiction games.

Although she also wanted her battleship to become an interstellar battleship, she would be the first to fly into the sky and attack Deep Sea Yamato from the air.

Chase and beat the opponent, making him scream.

Then he chased after that Purifier and beat her up, making her scream.

But how is that possible? This is not a game.

Her body is just an ordinary battleship floating on the sea. There is no anti-gravity device in her belly that can allow her to float into the sky.

Veneto reached out his hand and touched the warehouse wall.

She raised her head and sniffed the air again.

The only smell in the air was steel and motor oil.

"Ok?"

NO.324 Ah Q’s Thought: You know what, it’s pretty cool.

This dispelled her suspicion that this was all a prank by Fukukai Yamato.

At first she thought it was painted white or something.

That guy always talks about forming a group with her or something.

I muttered to myself, just wanting them to have the same color.

But now, there is no smell of paint in the air.

She touched it with her hand and it didn't feel wet like wet paint.

She would not wake up unless she had slept for so long that the paint that had been applied to her had dried and the smell had dissipated.

That was nonsense. Instead of making that guess, she might as well believe that she was still dreaming.

Feeling that things were beyond comprehension, Veneto returned to the captain's room, opened another door, and came to the cockpit.

As soon as he opened the door, Veneto was dazzled by the dazzling white light.

The entire cab has become white as the main color, and the places where there were originally metal embellishments have now become gold.

Things like steering wheels, window frames, screws, etc., the scene was not much different from her dream.

The biggest difference is probably that the metal parts don't have their own 'bling bling' glow.

"This is really, a bit tacky. A nouveau riche?"

Although Veneto's face looked very ugly, it still couldn't stop the surge of her complaining soul.

She couldn't help but complain. She was a little uncomfortable with the sudden change of the cab's appearance.

Of course, this also seems to indicate that what she dreamed of has come true.

Taking a few quick steps, she came to the window of the cab.

Through the window of the cab, she could see the familiar stone wall.

This is still in the belly of Harbor Princess, in the dock hidden in the belly of the mountain.

Looking down, there are two pure white main gun turrets.

"No way, could it be true? No, no, it should be that I haven't woken up from the dream yet. This is a series of dreams."

Veneto was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and prepared to go back to the captain's room to sleep.

Maybe if I close my eyes and open them again, I will really wake up.

"Veneto, are you awake?"

However, Fukami Yamato's voice came from the stairwell facing the other door.

The next second, a head with white hair and purple eyes popped out from the cabin door.

"Yeah, you're awake."

Fukayama Yamato first looked at the bed. The quilt was lifted and she started to panic. But when she turned around, she saw her chef standing leisurely in the cab, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Shouldn't you be in your own body... or accompanying Minato-sui-hime?"

Veneto didn't see that Fukukai Yamato was followed by Harbor Princess, so he got a little bolder and asked.

"She's always busy with something, and my real body is just there. I don't have to be there."

Fukayama Yamato took a few steps towards Veneto.

"Let's go catch some fish, I'm hungry."

Veneto felt that he was not facing a big sister battleship girl, but a husky who wanted to eat dog food.

The only difference is that she has to catch the dog food instead of buying it from the store.

Although she also felt her stomach was empty.

"Why did my original body become this color? Did you paint me while I was sleeping?"

Veneto knew the true form of Deep Sea Yamato, with a white background and gorgeous blue patterns.

Now her white background with gold embellishments might have been designed by Fukukai Yamato.

“That’s not paint.”

Fukamiya shook his head, his expression changed, and he only said this one sentence in the end.

"It's not paint? What else could it be if not paint? The only way to change the color of a battleship is to paint it. Can steel be turned white?"

Veneto bent his fingers and knocked on the thick warehouse wall with his knuckles, making his last struggle.

Because it is a command tower, the thickness of this steel layer exceeds 260mm, and it seems that because of the black technology that the ship girl has, the material seems to be stronger and tougher than traditional steel.

It is precisely because of these black technology features that Deep Sea Yamato was able to use the "anchor turn" move in the previous battles with the ship girls and Rensai.

If it was made of the same steel as Deep Sea Yamato's original form, she could also use that kind of move, but the pressure on the hull would be too great, and it would not be as relaxed as she is now.

But no matter in the past or now, steel is steel. How can it be white without being painted?

It's not tinplate.

"No, it's not the color of my body, nor the paint."

Fukayama hesitated for a moment and said.

"Don't...what did you do?"

The expression on Veneto's face froze.

Although she didn't smile at first, there was no classic smile that gradually solidified.

But the calm frozen expression is still very dramatic.

She found that she could no longer struggle. The air around her was like the mud in a swamp, enveloping her, drowning her, and burying her.

"You have become my companion. From now on, we will go out to sea together and do missions together... Harbor Princess has given her permission."

Yamato said as he carefully watched Veneto's expression.

"I want to go out and take a look."

Veneto was silent for a while, then walked towards the stairs with an expressionless face.

She probably understood that perhaps what she dreamed about was not only because she was dreaming, but also because the external things changed while she was dreaming, and thus were reflected in her heart.

No one knows what the deep sea did to her body, and it became what it is now.

That's why she dreamed that she turned into Fukai and was with Fukai Yamato, whom she hated.

She now wanted to really go outside and see her true self in its entirety.

Even if that would shatter her last fantasy, it was at least better than hiding in her own body and pretending nothing had happened.
