The Disqualified Commander of the Abandoned Shipgirl

"These guys should have come here a long time ago."

"how you said that?"

"intuition."

"Intuition... I believe in it, but don't you always believe in it?"

"Your intuition is pure gut feeling, mine is based on evidence."

"in accordance with?"

"These deployment changes happen too infrequently."

"Is this..."

"During the previous encounters, the troops responsible for the alert were always in motion."

"Maybe it's because of the excavation."

“It must have taken a long time to dig.”

"But this time is hard to estimate..."

Ark Royal spoke slowly.

But suddenly.

A strong sensation suddenly swept over.

"—!!"

She shuddered and almost stood up.

However, Akatsuki and Hinata, who were lying nearby, stood up instantly.

Just like a spring.

"Did you feel it?"

Ark Royal asked.

"I feel it now……"

"Same below."

Hinata and Akatsuki stared in that direction in a daze.

It's like being possessed by a demon.

"? What happened to you two? Although the induction is indeed very strange, it shouldn't be so exaggerated, right?"

Ark Royal frowned.

She did feel something coming out.

How to describe it.

In short, this wonderful sensation is very mysterious.

But that's about it.

It is not enough to affect the behavior of the ship girl.

but……

"We have to get over there."

Hinata, who was always cautious, suddenly said.

"Huh? You have a fever?"

The Ark Royal's head snapped up.

"No, I'm quite sober."

"Same below."

"But we have to go—"

Hinata added.

"Why? You have to give me a reason."

Royal Ark stood up and said in a deep voice.

This is so messed up.

Even she wouldn't give such a random order.

But Hinata and Akatsuki were all affected.

Hinata took a deep breath and calmed down a little.

"It's hard to describe this feeling. It's like... a leaf suddenly finds a branch."

"what is this?"

"Anyway, I'm applying for an attack."

Hinata's attitude was more resolute than ever before, and he seemed vaguely very anxious.

This also forced the Royal Ark to take it seriously.

Her expression was as solemn as water, and her eyes glanced in the direction of the huge pit.

"..."

What exactly is it……

Thinking back to the last time I had a similar strong sensation, it was at Donghuang.

But it only lasted for a brief moment and then quickly disappeared.

Will it be the same thing this time?

Also, why were Hinata and Akatsuki the only ones to have such strong reactions?

Ark Royal glanced at the other three.

“Have you felt any impact?”

All three of them shook their heads.

"No."

"..."

That's even stranger.

"Are you going over there too?"

The Royal Ark looked towards Akatsuki.

"I also want to go over, but I really shouldn't be so reckless, right?"

Xiao looked in that direction.

That sense of belonging, wanting to be close.

The feeling was extremely strong, as if I had encountered a fire in the dark.

But it is not completely uncontrollable.

"...In other words, this impulse can be controlled?"

Ark Royal turned his attention back to Hinata.

"It's indeed not powerful enough to forcibly influence our actions, but--"

Hinata paused and suddenly asked.

"Why did you create the Dark Night in the first place?"

"Hmm? You're talking about this again now? Of course I'm..."

"What if you suddenly saw the light?"

"What do you mean?"

“It’s like a traveler who has been lost for more than ten years suddenly sees a direction sign.”

Hinata said.

"what will you do?"

"...There are a lot of people guarding there, conservatively estimated to be about 500."

"That's why I'm going over there."

A faint blue light rose from Hinata's hand.

The naginata appeared along with the ship outfit.

"This is my choice. You should evacuate as soon as possible. If the alert is triggered, there will be no chance to evacuate. There is still time now."

"You guy..."

Royal Ark looked at Hinata's stubborn face and sighed.

She hadn't seen Hinata like this in a long time.

They say time is a butcher’s knife, but KanColle never ages.

So it won’t be affected...at least not in appearance.

But the age of a ship girl depends on her mentality.

After years of training, Hinata has become much more restrained.

The aggressive samurai eventually became a cautious wanderer.

But her knife never seemed to get dull.

Once you decide to take it out, it will still be so sharp.

89. Restart of the construction plan

Ooi Ryuna heard the sound of something starting up.

Although very slight.

But it is very jarring in a quiet environment.

She did not ask any questions, but just carried out her vigilance as usual.

It is somewhat difficult for the soul network detection to penetrate this place.

Not every developer of soul power has soul strength strong enough to pass through entities at will.

For people who have average abilities in this area.

This is already a very difficult operation to accomplish.

Anyone who can do it is at least someone like Oi Ryuna who has a higher military rank.

Or someone with more actual combat experience.

It's quiet outside.

All replicas are ordered to stand guard in every incoming channel.

Oi Ryuma also brought down some of the more elite troops.

Responsible for security within the institute.

She really couldn't understand Gao Yuanjie's many operations.

I can only guess what this guy meant based on the few words he said.

And the plateau knot.

All his attention was focused on those screens.

"..."

The data in the institute are well preserved.
