The Disqualified Commander of the Abandoned Shipgirl

The sky is red.

The cherry trees are also red.

Everything, including the ground, seemed to be covered with a red filter.

"here it is……"

Nagato was in a daze.

I always feel like I've seen it somewhere.

My vision blurred for a moment.

When she looked forward again.

I saw a figure that looked somewhat familiar.

That's right.

It is at birth.

The guy I saw in that empty place—

"welcome."

The figure sitting there spoke.

"You are..."

"My name is Nagato."

"...!"

Nagato didn't remember himself being like that.

Although they look somewhat similar, their auras are completely different.

If Nagato himself is a pufferfish that forcibly blows himself up.

Then the figure sitting under the cherry tree, the balloon filled with the ball is probably a shot put.

That's right.

Just by looking at her, you can very intuitively feel her unshakable, irresistible, invincible and unignorable aura.

However, after answering Nagato's question, Nagato, who was sitting there, did not speak any more.

There was no spirit in her eyes.

Like a dead thing.

"..."

After hesitating for a while, Nagato spoke again tentatively.

"here it is?"

"The last shrine of the Sakura Empire."

"at last……?"

"Yes."

"why?"

"Because the Sakura Empire fell."

"..."

Question and answer, like some kind of rigid and inflexible procedure.

This place is really strange.

It should be different from what I saw in that empty place last time.

Nagato moved around a bit and took in the surrounding scenery.

A shattered landscape.

There is an ocean in the distance, but the water is black.

further away.

A large number of fragments and cracks appeared in the space.

It's everywhere.

It was like the end of the world.

The whole world is like a mirror and is about to fall apart.

After looking around, Nagato made sure there was nothing else.

She could only return to that [Nagato].

Going around in a circle.

The latter showed no reaction at all.

Is this really a rigid and inflexible procedure?

Or.

Is it just something like an afterimage left here?

The sea of ​​memories deep within the mind is truly amazing.

Just like the brain cannot parse the brain.

The mind cannot analyze the mind.

There are so many things that are incomprehensible.

Fortunately, Nagato still remembered the purpose of coming here.

"Tell me, can I be a good flagship for the Sakura Empire?"

Nagato asked as he sat down next to [Nagato].

She reached out and poked the other person.

The finger penetrated through.

Sure enough, it was just a shadow.

"..."

no respond.

Nagato thought about it and asked the question in a different way.

"Do you think Nagato can be a good flagship for the Sakura Empire?"

"No."

"……Why?"

"As a flagship, she is unqualified. As a subordinate, she is unqualified. As a warrior, she is unqualified. As a friend, she is unqualified."

"..."

Nagato couldn't help but cover his face.

He was belittled by [Nagato] and was completely worthless.

After being silent for a while, Nagato asked again.

"Why is Nagato unqualified as a flagship?"

"She didn't fall with the Sakura Empire."

"…Why is she not qualified to be a subordinate? Isn't she the flagship?"

"She didn't believe the commander. She is the commander's ship girl."

"Why didn't you believe the commander?"

“Because there are many reasons.”

"…Who is Nagato's commander?"

"yes##."

Nagato frowned.

The sound suddenly became blurred.

"who is it?"

She moved closer.

“##.”

"..."

The sound was still blurred.

why?

"Who commanded Nagato?"

“##.”

"..."

Well, it seems to be something like keyword blocking.

But why?

Was it erased intentionally?

Nagato didn't know.

She could only ask other questions again.

"How can Nagato lead the Sakura Empire well and become a qualified flagship?"

"..."

silence.

"…Is there no way?!"

Nagato couldn't help but ask loudly.

Although she was indeed powerless.

But, but it shouldn’t be that serious.

It's still very discouraging.

"..."

After a moment of silence, [Nagato] sighed.

"what……"

"what happened?"

"It is difficult to recover what has been spilled. This is what Donghuang said."

"Wha, what do you mean?"

"The past cannot be undone, just like spilled water cannot be taken back, a broken mirror cannot be made whole, and a failed battle cannot be fought again."

"..."

“Things that are not up to standard cannot be made up again. Things that have been missed are missed, and things that have failed are failed. They cannot be made successful, just like time cannot be reversed.”

Nagato did not agree with these words and she retorted.

"But Nagato will still be born, and there will still be a chance to come again... again!"

Although I don't know why this afterimage sounded as if everything was over.

But for Nagato.

Everything...everything is just beginning!
