The Disqualified Commander of the Abandoned Shipgirl

"I've already said it before. Now, I can't leave." Nagato frowned, thinking that the other party's attitude was indeed very strange. She was indeed the flagship, the one chosen by the flag, but did she have to carry the flag and leave?

"If you want to leave, why can't you leave?" Ise said, "In the final analysis, it's just that you don't want to leave, you coward."

"I--"

"Everyone is working hard for the mutants, but you, as the flagship, are doing nothing."

“I didn’t do nothing…!”

"So what did you do?"

"…I'm killing the Siren."

"Are our enemies the Sirens?"

“…Isn’t it…”

"..." Ise's eyes became very strange, cold, yet sarcastic, mixed with a lot of mockery, "Our enemies are in the safe zone."

"..."

"And you are dealing with the Sirens? What's the point of dealing with the Sirens? Are the Sirens using the super rare mutants as experimental tools? Are the Sirens constantly conducting extremely cruel experiments on them? Are the Sirens creating them and then locking them up hundreds of meters underground and torturing them repeatedly? I didn't tell you these things clearly, but now I tell you clearly! Do you still want to deceive yourself?!"

"..."

After a short silence.

Ise said again: "Just continue to follow that human to fight the Siren. Next month, the mind-wiping experiment on the super rare mutants will be completely put on the agenda. We cannot interrupt the progress of the experiment, and we can't even have any impact on it. The result of the experiment is not something we can control, but we will not watch this happen. We will do whatever it takes to make humans pay an absolutely heavy price. As for you - our actions have nothing to do with you! Flagship."

After saying that, Ise took back her naginata. She looked deeply at Nagato, turned around and left with Shoho, exposing her back to the enemy's cannon.

He didn't care at all whether he would be attacked.

"Commander?" Ayanami watched Ise leave and asked in the soul network.

"Don't worry about it." Lin Shen said calmly, "They will come back again."

"Can they spare some people to come here?" Ayanami asked.

To be honest, the opponent is very weak.

No, it should be that they have all become stronger, so the enemy seems weak.

Although the difference in combat experience is not particularly obvious, the difference in training level and equipment is too great.

And the status of the ship's equipment.

"Maybe I can get it out, maybe I can't. Polar Night's actions in the Sakura Empire haven't ended yet, neither the attacks nor the attacks have ended. There's still a long time... Come back first."

"Nagato..."

"Nagato will come back on his own." Lin Shen said.

"it is good."

Ayanami and Lafite began to return, as for Nagato... Nagato was still stunned, unable to recover from what Ise had just said. She knew about the polar night, and now she knew it even better. No, in fact, she could imagine all the bad situations, but it was still more real to be told directly by someone and to have the cold facts slapped in her face.

That's not a scenario, it's not your assumption of a bad situation.

But it is a fact that has already happened.

The fact is lying there quietly.

Whether you look at it or not, it's there.

Nagato really began to think that maybe he should go back.

But what should I do if I go back?

Will we take the Sakura Empire in the polar night to attack the human safety zone?

This is simply like throwing an egg against a rock.

Operation Polar Night is now filled with an undisguised tendency towards destruction.

This is wrong.

Nagato made this judgment subconsciously.

But what is correct?

Against the Sirens?

Can dealing with the Siren solve the current problem?

Can't be solved.

To humans, it doesn’t matter whether you fight the Sirens or not.

It is important that you listen to their orders and fight the Siren in the way they expect.

The problem cannot be solved by using the polar night method.

Escaping will not solve the problem.

So how can we solve the problem?

Nagato didn't know.

She just thought that she couldn't go on like this.

I have to do something.

This impulse was buried deep in my heart, like a seed, and began to sprout rapidly.

She had to do something.

Not because of flagship, duty or anything like that.

It's just because she can't accept the current situation.

I can't accept it anyway.

So she has to intervene.

But I can’t intervene now.

No one listened to her.

Lin Shen won’t care, and Ise won’t care either.

A flag without the support of confidence is just a lonely symbol and mascot.

38. Small talk and gossip

Hinata found that he really couldn't understand Lin Shen.

She had previously thought that Lin Shen did not let Chang Men leave because he was fickle and untrustworthy, but now it seemed that was not the case.

Lin Shen did not order Nagato to come back, nor did he ask Ayanami and Lafei to bring Nagato back by force. He just killed the people from Polar Night on the spot. After that, the two of them even turned around and left. If Nagato wanted to leave, he would have every chance.

She could just leave now and catch up with Ise who was walking away.

Return to the polar night.

In that case, Hinata would definitely leave the fleet immediately and go with Nagato.

But Nagato didn't do that.

After thinking for a while, she turned back.

Hinata didn't understand.

Can Lin Shen's intention outweigh Ise's numerous words?

...Obviously that's not the case.

It was Nagato himself who didn't want to leave.

Ise was just forcing her to make a choice as quickly as possible.

In fact, for Ji Ye, Nagato’s choice is not important at all.

They just wanted to take her back - although, Hinata now couldn't figure out what the other side was planning.

She has been gone for a long time.

Such a long time is enough to change a lot of things.

Although Ji Ye's visit this time did not take Nagato away, it was also a direct confrontation with Lin Shen. Ji Ye's side was full of mutants, and they were hostile to Lin Shen, which basically meant that half of the mutants were already hostile to Lin Shen.

As mutants, they still stay here to fight for Lin Shen, which is very strange no matter how you look at it.

But apart from Hinata and Nagato, there wasn't much discord in this fleet.

It can even be said that the harmony is too much...

After Nagato came back, he became much quieter.

It seems like he is thinking about a lot of things.

Lin Shen has finished his training with her and she has passed all the tests. There is nothing left for Lin Shen to teach her.

Just like when he faced Akamori Sakura.

Extra things are not something they can get involved in.

So there is no intention to say more.

It's just a waste of time.

During the remaining rest time, without the harassment of the polar night, the fleet relaxed again.

Everyone was quite harmonious and basically revolved around Lin Shen.

Whatever he did, there were always people watching him.

Even if it's just a normal cup of tea.

"...Why don't you all have a cup?" Looking at the living room where almost everyone was there except Chu Shuang who was on duty, Lin Shen felt a little helpless and could only ask Glasgow to prepare a few more cups.

Since everyone is here, let’s have some tea.

I have nothing to do, so I'm having tea and chatting today.

Relax your mind and spirit.

Although the content of the chat was strange.

It was very serious at the beginning, all about combat.

But no one knew who started it all, saying, "The commander seems to like thighs very much."

Then the topic started to go off the track wildly.

And the discussion level is much higher than before.

Fortunately, Nagato and Hinata are not here.

The former was feeling depressed and went out for a walk, so Hinata naturally followed him out.

All that's left is Tirpitz.

She was somewhere between interested and not interested in the topic.

A person who is just there for fun.

"No way, the commander doesn't like thighs, he just happens to like my thighs." Hatsushimo, who was on duty, somehow learned about the discussion here and forced his way in.

So the discussion became an opening mixed with the rolling internal public frequency of the soul network.

"That's not the case at all. The commander doesn't like your thigh." Rafi was still the main force in rebutting.

He said some strange things with a serious face.

The others all had some strange excitement on their faces.

Rafi's mood is not fully revealed on his face.

"Nonsense, I have evidence." Chu Shuang said.

"What evidence?"

"What evidence?"

"What evidence?"
