The Disqualified Commander of the Abandoned Shipgirl

Enough to enable comprehensive strikes at any time.

This is absolutely no different from a dimensionality reduction attack.

"It's fine."

Ayanami said in a calm voice from behind.

"How can it be okay—what are you doing, Ayanami!?"

McCall looked back and saw Ayanami holding the ship-cutting sword with her arms in a position ready to exert force.

The straddle began.

McCall also saw more than twenty huge shells approaching rapidly in the sky.

There was little difference from her prediction.

The only difference was that the coverage was larger than she expected.

That was already completely impossible to avoid.

"Just keep running forward."

Ayanami replied.

"Well...what about you!"

"I'll go cut off that cross-fired shell."

"I see - are you crazy? How can you do such a thing? You are not Superman!"

"A real man. (daijoubu)"

"How could there be tape?!"

McCall's mind was in a mess.

She had no way of stopping, nor was she able to stop Ayanami.

Just like the order he had just given to Glasgow.

She had absolutely no say at all - she thought there was no way out.

That is the optimal solution.

Even if Ayanami does nothing.

They will still sink here.

So Ayanami decided to take a risk.

Maybe, we can create some life?

This is no different from Glasgow's decisive decision just now.

McCall couldn't think of anything better.

Under the absolute suppression of strength.

As the battleships' shells fired across the sky, they fell rapidly.

Ayanami suddenly turned her body around and stopped moving forward.

Then he bent his legs and exerted force quickly, staring at the falling shell with his red pupils.

Then, he jumped up with all his strength and swung his sword quickly.

She would not have thought of doing this originally.

But unfortunately, someone gave her a head start.

Human knives can only be used to cut off things that can be cut off.

The KanColle's sword is used to kill KanColle and Sirens.

It can also cut through falling shells.

It’s simply a fantasy!

If it were before, Ayanami would have subconsciously thought so.

But someone has done it.

So, she could do it again.

Think back to how that felt.

Although she was just watching, but...

All the techniques and elements are already in her sight.

The ship-cutting sword hit the high-speed flying shell with incredible precision.

Then, using the direction where force is easiest to exert, he split the entire shell into two, causing it to explode in the air ahead of time.

This shot was exactly the one that should have hit McCall and Glasgow at this moment.

"boom!"

McCall looked at the dust and flames splashed by the explosion around him, and walked out of it with a shocked look on his face.

She was intact.

Ayanami calculated the trajectory and landing point very accurately.

McCall’s speed was also taken into account.

The cut was perfect, without any mistakes.

McCall and Glasgow wandered past the door to the underworld again.

After being stunned for a moment, she turned around in surprise and prepared to praise Ayanami's knife.

This knife was simply a work of genius! It was like a ghost possessed!

But she didn't see Ayanami.

Ayanami was not behind her.

And further away.

She did not follow McCall, but instead launched a counter charge towards where the Dog Flame Guards were.

"Ayanami what are you doing!?"

McCall asked quickly in the soul network.

"...I'll be the last one to finish."

"What rear are you going to take? What the hell, Glasgow was the one who took the rear guard before, and now you want to take the rear guard too?!"

McCall said emotionally.

Only I have done nothing.

I don’t have that ability.

"The reason why the enemy can organize such a strong coverage attack is because there is no interference. If I launch an attack in the opposite direction, the firepower impact on your side should be much smaller."

Ayanami's tone remained very calm.

"You can leave safely..."

"What are you going to do!?"

"I will kill as many enemies as possible."

"Ayanami, you——!"

Ayanami did not send any further messages.

It's like I've completely lost half of my connection.

All McCall could hear was the roar of the ship's guns gradually becoming farther away.

The heavy firepower that came down again was indeed much less.

It can be said that it is almost gone.

But the price...

The price was totally unacceptable to her.

Some people just feel helpless about their own misfortune, and they just let it go with a wry smile and a few complaints.

However, you feel the misfortune that others encounter because of you dozens of times more strongly.

The most unacceptable thing in the world.

The spark that pulled you back from the brink of freezing to death eventually extinguished itself for you.

But you can't do anything.

The fire that exploded again around McCall no longer caught her attention.

Her legs unconsciously dodged the attacks.

While she was in a daze, her mind quickly flew to the distant and empty wilderness.

27. Dream, Awakening, Favorability

When she rushed into the Inuyan Guard, Ayanami no longer thought about the possibility of going back.

She was not afraid of dying and sinking, even though she had promised that guy to live...

But sure enough, if possible, she would still take the necessary action.

The reason why Glasgow and the others were surrounded was because of this.

It’s because I have to come to the Central Weaving District.

I had to agree to that task.

Then it becomes like this.

If we look at it from this perspective alone, it seems that everything was caused by Ayanami.

If I had given up on her earlier, none of these things would have happened.

That's why everything happened.

In this case, it is only natural for her to cover the retreat.

Ayanami didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

Or rather, she didn't really think about it too much.

I just thought about it briefly and thought about what I should do to catch a little bit of hope.

That's it.

Compared to the safety of Glasgow and the others, Ayanami's focus was not on herself from the beginning.

She is a weapon...she needs to gallop on the battlefield.

You need to cut off the enemy's neck in the most stylish manner.

You need to make a choice when you need her.

That's all.

Ayanami's sudden counterattack did disrupt the pursuit of the Inu Flame Guard.

After realizing that they could no longer keep McCall and Glasgow, the commanders behind them concentrated all their strength on Ayanami.

Ayanami's ship-slashing sword is very threatening.

The close-range torpedo tactic is also very dangerous.

The destructive power was evident even at the first contact.

This ship girl is dangerous.

——Almost all commanders made the same judgment.

So they quickly took countermeasures.
