Minato meets his ex-girlfriend

"what?"

"There is no indication that she is CV16. All speculation is just your conjecture."

Akashi took his hand, which had been smeared with ointment, away from the commander. "She herself said that she had forgotten everything, right?"

"Ah."

"There is no information, no evidence to prove that she is CV16."

Akashi put on his cat claws and said, "Let's take a step back. Even if she is really CV16, but she has lost the memory of CV16, is she still CV16?"

"…Isn't your question a bit philosophical?"

The commander clicked his tongue.

"So we won't discuss this philosophical question, let's just say this."

Akashi's pupils glowed yellow, and he looked at the commander like a cat, "How can you be sure that she won't harm us?"

"This……"

"First of all, she doesn't have the memories of CV16, but she is irritable and angry, and she also made Shokaku transform into a deep-sea form. If she is resurrected, she will probably be in a deep-sea state as well."

Akashi took out a pen and paper and made a simple logic map.

"So everything can only lead to--"

Akashi drew an arrow.

At the end of the arrow are two big words: deep sea.

"So even if she is really CV16, what we resurrected might just be a deep-sea CV16."

"..."

Very good, Commander simply understands.

I understand what Akashi means. To put it bluntly, CV16 was originally a ship girl, but now it is a deep sea.

How can we be sure that she is on the side of humans and Donghuang?

It cannot be confirmed. After all, there has been no case of deep-sea counterattack so far.

Want to take a gamble?

"Moreover, CV16's ship equipment has been completely sunk."

Akashi said: "In other words, the hull is gone."

"But Zuikaku's ship equipment includes some of the CV16's equipment..."

"That's only part of it. Besides, would you choose to exchange Zuikaku for CV16?"

So true.

Akashi's logic is clear. Just as she said, Zuikaku's ship equipment comes from CV16.

If CV16 is to be taken back, Zuikaku will be gone.

Can Zuikaku survive? Who knows?

The commander was silent.

Marshal Meng might gamble, but the commander wouldn't.

It sounds cruel, but it is human nature to distance oneself from close relatives.

"I heard from Fuso that you have copied the ship suit of Deep Sea?"

The commander suddenly said.

"That's indeed the case..."

Akashi nodded, but she seemed to have thought of something, with a look of surprise on her face -

"Are you crazy!?"

………………

The commander left the room and it was already dark.

As Akashi said, he was indeed crazy.

For some reason, he wanted to believe You once.

Maybe it was because she stood in front of the commander openly, or maybe it was because of her honest attitude and so on.

He thought of the deep-sea ship suit at that time. According to Fuso, Akashi already had the ability to copy the deep-sea ship suit.

It may still be inferior to Yokosuka's ability to conduct secondary development of deep-sea ship equipment.

But at least it shows that one has such ability.

If you try to use the original ship equipment, you can revive You.

Maybe something will happen to Zuikaku.

Then Akashi's words 'deep sea' reminded him.

That’s right, You is now in the deep sea.

What if we use the deep-sea ship suit as the carrier of the ship and revive a complete, real ship girl who is all deep-sea from the ship suit to the soul?

This conjecture is too crazy.

Even the commander was not sure whether the resurrected You would stand on the side of the deep sea or on the side of humans.

Rather, the commander doesn't care whether You is CV16 or not.

What he really wanted to know was the truth about the war fifteen years ago.

He has lived a dull and lonely life since he was eleven years old, a full fifteen years.

He has no interest in justice.

He protected Donghuang because of the pension, and another reason was that he stayed in Donghuang so that he could find out the truth of what happened fifteen years ago.

Merciful, cruel, no matter how he is evaluated, he just wants a result.

Going to Tiexue is for the truth, going to Donghuang is for the truth.

From beginning to end, his goal has not changed.

The You sank fifteen years ago, regardless of whether it was CV16 or not.

She must know the truth about the war fifteen years ago.

The Commander just needs to know the truth.

Whether he is the underwater devil who roams the two oceans, the diligent commander-in-chief of the South China Sea, the one who killed the four town admirals, or the honorary commander-in-chief of Azur Lane.

He had heard his sister crying in the middle of the night more than once and didn't know how to comfort her.

Time and again he got his head broken and bloody just from trying to stay alive.

It is impossible to say that there is no resentment at all.

He just wanted an answer.

"But there's no rush..."

The commander sighed.

There is indeed no rush, because according to Akashi.

If we want to reshape CV16's deep-sea immortal body, the deep-sea hull that carries her soul cannot be weaker than CV16's original ship equipment.

Where do these deep-sea ship equipment come from?

From the deep sea, of course.

And it is the highest standard of deep sea -

The four deep-sea ship girls second only to the legendary deep-sea queen.

Chapter 203: Is this the welfare of the second dimension?

The eleventh day of the port closure, an uninhabited island, a rest area on the beach.

It is half past ten in the morning and the temperature is thirty-four degrees.

"Have a light, cold drink."

“Thank you?”

Shokaku took the iced drink handed to him by the commander with a grateful look on his face.

Today is the second day of swimsuit return.

Although there were parasols and they were in the shade, the weather was so hot and the sand was reflecting the hot wind. The commander roughly felt that it was even hotter than the port area.

The same thing happened to Shokaku, who was also looking after the luggage. He had a neat ponytail, but sweat was dripping from his forehead.

"Ugh!"

As expected of Shokaku, he drank it all in one breath.

"Are you okay?"

The commander was startled by Shokaku.

Perhaps because he drank too much cold water in one breath, Shokaku was now groaning with his forehead pressed down.

"It doesn't matter……"

"..."

It doesn't look like it's okay. His left hand was clenched so tightly that it almost burst the lifebuoy, and he covered his forehead with his right hand and groaned continuously.

This symptom should be called brain freeze. I didn’t expect that the ship girl would also have this symptom.

"Head hurts……"

"Because I drank it all in one go, please be more careful next time."

The commander rubbed Shoukaku's head and cheeks.

"Ha...ah, much easier."

Although he still had a frown on his face, Shokaku was in much better condition than before.

The commander also took out a bottle of iced drink, but he did not open the can. Instead, he carefully put it to his neck to slightly reduce the heat of his body.

"Commander, when you put something cold on your skin, you should be careful about the constriction of your blood vessels."

Shokaku said with narrowed eyes.

"I don't want you to say that."

The commander retorted.

"Hehehe... Looks like you've recovered your spirits?"

"Ah... about that."

Yes, the commander is really not in high spirits.

Probably because there was some dispute in the port area before coming to the beach this morning.

Today's members are Shokaku, Yamashiro, Z23, Aoba, Kiso, Hotaru, Lafite, Ayanami, and Yudachi.

All nine members gathered early in the morning and changed into casual travel clothes, except for Laffey and Ayanami who were still a little sleepy.

After checking the luggage and preparing to set off, Yuudachi suddenly stared at Yamashiro with a scary look.

"What's wrong?" asked the commander.

"It doesn't look like Miss Yamashiro."

Yudachi said so.

Isn't it a mountain city? Could it be that Fuso is disguised as a mountain city?

It's impossible for this kind of animation and comics to have a two-dimensional development, right?
