Shut up! I'm not a destroyer!

She raised her hand and pointed forward.

"Bang!"

"Duang!"

"Ding dong!"

Various metal collision sounds were heard.

The already crowded deep sea creatures became even more crowded, and they managed to make way for an empty sea surface in the direction that the deep sea Yamato pointed.

"?"

Two deep-sea submarine ship girls poked their heads out from the empty sea surface, looked around in confusion, and when they saw the Deep-Sea Yamato, they shuddered and shrank back into the sea.

"Okay, now, fire one shot into the middle, with a high-explosive round."

Fukayama pointed at the empty sea surface.

"Ah? Fried fish!"

Veneto asked blankly.

"Yeah, just fire away and I'll figure out a solution."

Deep Sea Yamato waved his hand in a very cool manner.

Gwen looked at Yamato and then at the empty sea surface.

"Don't you feel like your strength hasn't improved at all? Come on and give it a try."

Deep Sea Yamato pointed to the sea not far away.

"Then let me try."

Gwen sighed and summoned the ship suit.

Three turrets that turned the same snow-white as her body appeared in front of her.

There are golden patterns on each turret, exactly the same as her body.

"Oh, it's over. It looks like I'm really... Hey? Why is it so heavy?"

Veneto only felt that his head was much heavier than before, as if he was wearing a golden crown.

"Wait! What the hell is this!!!"

Not caring about the appearance of her ship suit, she quickly reached out her hand above her head.

But when she reached over there, she felt something furry that was warm and moving.

"Cuckoo?"

A strange chirping sound came from the thing she touched.

"What is this, what is this, what is this!"

Veneto was startled. She couldn't see the top of her head and had no idea what was on it.

But it looks like a bird, and only birds make cooing sounds.

Pigeons are particularly good at making this sound.

No, no, she didn't want a pigeon on her head.

Because when she mentioned pigeons, she thought of the culprits who forced her here, the group of pigeon people.

"Owl... should that be what it's called?"

Fukayama reached out and grasped the scruff of the neck of the furry living thing Fate on top of Veneto's head.

Just as she pinched Veneto by the back of his collar.

She seemed to have seen this kind of thing in a book. It was a bird that came out in the middle of the night to eat mice and was classified by humans as a bird of prey that was beneficial to humans.

However, the thing she was holding in her hand didn't look like a bird of prey.

Look at the birds on the sea, whether they are catching fish or birds catching birds, they are birds of prey.

But can this cute little thing in her hand be considered a bird of prey?

Humans' definition of living things is so weird.

"Huh? Why do I have this thing on my head?"

Veneto saw a black and white animal, with its big sleepy eyes half open, lying motionless in the hands of Deep Sea Yamato.

The round face plate was white, but it was facing the direction of Veneto.

His golden pupils were half covered by his eyelids. Facing Veneto's scrutinizing gaze, he even looked a little cross-eyed, and it was obvious that he had not woken up yet.

Its wings were tucked to its sides and its claws were curled up in the white fur.

This guy was held in Fukayama Yamato's hand and looked to be as tall as her arm.

Approximately 70 cm in length.

Well, this head is actually not small, no wonder Veneto felt his head was heavy.

"This could be... your modified ship suit?"

Fukayama Yamato turned the object in his hand around so that it was facing him.

But he felt that the thing in her hand shook restlessly, and seemed to be a little more sober than when she was squatting on Veneto's head just now.

"You know, many of the deep sea ship equipment are alive."

Behind Deep Sea Yamato emerged her own ship's equipment, three main gun turrets, and three huge monster heads with their mouths slightly open, emitting purple smoke.

Then she took the three guys back because she felt the submarine under her feet seemed to be sinking again.

"But... the ship's equipment can also be moved. My turret can move around by itself, can be used as a stool, and can even help me carry things."

She just doesn't use it often.

"I already have a turret, how can I make another ship appear out of thin air? She's not that...powerful."

"for you."

Fukayama threw the owl in his hand into Veneto's hand.

"Alas!"

Veneto hurriedly hugged the silly guy.

Pinching the underside of the other's wings with both hands, Veneto lifted it up and held it in stare.

"Hugugu... Hugugu..."

As if it felt that it was back in Veneto's hands, the owl tilted its head back and began to snore.

"Hey, hey, don't fall asleep on your own, you guy."

However, Veneto's shaking of the owl was not enough to even disrupt its breathing.

"This... is too trusting of me, right?"

"I feel like this is your ship uniform. How could a wild bird trust you so much?"

Fukayama Yamato saw the state of the owl and reaffirmed her thoughts.

"But, if this is the equipment that Princess Harbor gave me, I should have felt it, but I didn't..."

Veneto closed his eyes and felt around, but he didn't feel like there were any extra parts on his body.

"Then try to cancel the ship's equipment."

Deep Sea Yamato casually proposed the simplest plan.

She shrugged indifferently. After all, the owl was not an extra part of her body.

Veneto thought about it and cancelled his ship equipment.

Sure enough, as the three snow-white guns disappeared, the black and white feathered owl in Veneto's hand also disappeared.

"Really... Where did this guy come from?"

NO.328 EC3 ter-Fufo 'Owl' radar

"At this time, a magical detective is needed."

When Fukayama heard what Veneto said, he stretched out a finger and pointed forward.

"Then tell me where this guy came from?"

Veneto released the ship equipment again and held the snoring owl in his arms.

"Think about it, what part of your body can be turned into this thing?"

Fukayama Yamato pinched Owl's face, but the latter didn't even react.

"What parts? I'm a battleship. What parts can a battleship have? It can't be an Armstrong 120mm 40-caliber gun that is used to launch flares, right?"

Veneto frowned and thought for a moment, then asked Deep Sea Yamato.

"Cannons for flares? How many?"

Fukayama tilted his head and asked curiously.

"Two doors..."

Veneto remembers it very clearly because there were only two doors.

"That's probably not the case."

Fukayama shook his head.

"What?"

Veneto had never understood this.

Among the ship girls, for example, the well-known Enterprise, there is the always arrogant Eagle, who speaks in a cold and hurtful way.

There is also Dumpling Essex, which also has an eagle, and is said to be a particularly funny guy who is good at making sarcastic comments.

These are the creatures that come with their ships.

But Veneto never found out about it. She only knew that the two eagles seemed to be the incarnations of the ace pilots in their original bodies.

In other words, the two eagles were actually transformed from the most powerful fighter jets on each of the two ship girls.

"Because the living ship equipment is usually the same equipment turned into one, of course there are also two equipment turned into one, but it's not common. Let's keep this idea for now and think about what other equipment there is?"

Fukayama Yamato shared his experiences over the years.

The deep sea around her is like this, usually if there is one main turret, it will turn into one animal, and if there are two main turrets, it will turn into two.

"Yes, the auxiliary equipment has not changed much, most of them are important equipment, such as the turret of the main gun."

Fukayama added.

Like the Deep Sea Wales, one monster has two turrets, that's because Wales only has two main gun turrets...

"Main equipment?"

Veneto didn't remember that she had the same thing as Big E and Dumpling... Wait, she did have three small planes on her body.

Two Ro.43 biplane carrier-based float reconnaissance aircraft and one Re.2000 single-wing ground-based fighter.

The result of having land-based fighters on battleships is that every time they are launched, they have to fly back to the land airport as quickly as possible, otherwise they will not be able to find a place to land.

Fortunately, the former Veneto battleship was only used in the Mediterranean Sea, so there is no need to worry about this thing flying out and having nowhere to land.

Moreover, the Re.2000 itself is very light and can be packed and loaded onto a truck, then loaded onto a ship at the port and transported back to the warship.

Looking at the secretive and confused look of this owl, could it be that stupid carrier-based fighter?

It really looks like that.

The more Veneto looked, the more he looked like him.

"Do you have any equipment with the name 'Owl' on it?"

Fukamiya suddenly asked.

"Radar! Wait, it seems to be real!"
