The Disqualified Commander of the Abandoned Shipgirl

But because there were too many people.

So sometimes there will still be a mismatch.

Originally it was a room for one person.

But Hinata is worried about Nagato's safety, so he follows.

"Hinata, don't you need to rest?"

Nagato asked somewhat uncomfortably.

"Me? I don't need to rest that much. I'm used to running around."

Hinata shook her head.

“Isn’t this a question of being used to it or not being used to it?”

"Well... let's put it another way. For me, staying here now is considered a rest."

"That's it."

"..."

The atmosphere cooled down after both of them stopped talking.

The space was not very large, but there were two people.

One of them has high expectations for himself.

This made it impossible for Nagato to rest at all.

Noticing her stiffness.

Hinata finally realized that Nagato's discomfort might be because of him.

"Nagato-sama, please take a rest. I won't disturb you."

"Well, um..."

Nagato responded quickly.

Although it's nice to have someone to follow.

But for Nagato now, what she needs more is some time to meditate quietly alone.

There are many questions to think about...

Want to ask.

But I don’t know who to ask.

The only thing I can do is to look for the afterimage that remains in deep meditation.

However, the questions that the afterimage can answer are very limited.

After that day...

Nagato also tried to return to that place again through deep meditation.

Ask many questions clearly.

But the information obtained is somewhat inconsistent.

Of course, it may also be because there is something wrong with the way the question is asked.

Nagato decided to give it one more try.

After all, there was no one else she could ask so casually.

After leaving Nagato's room, Hinata prepared to go back to her own room.

Her room was not next to Nagato's.

So go through the corridor.

A hooded, strangely dressed guy was walking towards me from the opposite direction.

"..."

Just when he was about to pass by Hinata.

A hint of cold light suddenly burst out between the two people.

"呲————"

The blades collided fiercely, leaving a shallow scratch on the walls on both sides.

"who are you?"

Hinata asked coldly as she wrestled with her opponent with her naginata.

"My dear sister, the memory of a ship girl shouldn't be worn out."

The other person raised his head and a smile appeared on his face hidden in the shadow.

"..."

Hinata pushed the other person away with all her strength, but did not put away her naginata.

The light blue light particles were still lingering around her wrist.

"What are you here for?"

Hinata asked subconsciously.

But I soon realized that this was not a problem I cared about.

"Why are you still in Yangluo?"

Hinata asked again.

Frowning.

Obviously they don't want to see each other here.

"Why do you seem to not welcome me at all? After all, you should at least smile when you see your old friend, right?"

Ise said in a not very serious tone.

"You still have not answered my question."

"Alright, alright. Of course I came here to look for Nagato."

"Looking for Nagato?"

"Of course, otherwise, is it here to find you?"

"..."

"She is the flag of the Sakura Empire. Well, the flag of the Sakura Empire should go back to the Sakura Empire, don't you think?"

After saying this, Ise planned to continue walking forward.

She could clearly sense where Nagato was.

“This flag is nothing like what you imagine.”

"Huh? Why do you say that?"

"She is just a shell with a flag, but she does not have the core to guide the direction." Hinata said, "If you want to take her back and find yourself a leader, I think you can give up now. In addition-"

"in addition?"

"The current Nagato has a commander."

As Hinata finished her words, figures appeared on the other side of the corridor and behind her.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to take her away."

Hinata then completed his own words.

"Oh, I didn't expect you guys to be so hospitable."

There was no nervous expression on Ise's face.

This situation was actually within her expectations.

Or--

It was expected by someone.

"Take me to see your commander."

Ise said, crossing his arms over his chest.

……

"So, what can I do for you?"

Lin Shen crossed his legs and looked at the guy in front of him who didn't seem nervous at all.

He had noticed Ise as he approached.

I'm just too lazy to care.

There is really no need to care about it——

After all, it's not directed at me.

It doesn't matter if she comes for any other ship girl.

Anyway, as long as she is not killed instantly, she will be exposed when she takes action.

and.

Lin Shen didn’t feel that he was in this fleet.

Who will be successfully ambushed?

Even McCall had developed a dangerous instinct through so many battles.

"Let me introduce myself first. I am Ise from the Heavy Sakura Empire, affiliated with the [Midnight]."

"Pork night?"

"Ah, haven't you heard of it?"

"Indeed not."

"It's just an insignificant name." Ise said, "It's an empty shelf. It's normal that no one has heard of it."

That being said, Lin Shen could feel the confidence in Ise's emotions.

That is something that can only be cultivated if you have a certain sense of belonging and trust in what is behind you.

Just like a diplomat from one country going to other countries.

What he represents is not himself, but the country behind him that cannot be ignored or neglected.

But this kind of thing is of no importance at all.

Lin Shen calmly waited for Ise's next words.

"I came here to look for Nagato."

"What do you want to do with Nagato?"

"Nagato is the flag of the Sakura Empire. We don't need a reason to look for her. Or maybe this is the reason."

Ise said as a matter of course.

"What happens after you find it back?"

"After we retrieve it, what else can the flag do? But it has nothing to do with you, sir."

"But Nagato is now my ship girl."

"So you don't agree?"

"Yes."

"Isn't Commander Lin the kind of person who is friendly to mutants? Why don't we just make friends?"

"Then your friends are pretty cheap."

Ise smiled and didn't respond to this, just said.

"That's troublesome. No matter what, we can't give up on Nagato."
