Even in the world of Kancolle, I want to drive a robot!

As long as the other side dares to attack, she will let Xia Bai and Kaga use Tsukuyomi to let these guys who can't see the situation clearly know what the highest combat power of human beings in the world is like.

So in the face of Nagato's power, Akagi seemed calm and composed.

The fox is relying on the tiger's might, but that's all.

"Akagi, you..."

After hearing Akagi's withdrawal announcement, Nagato was speechless. On the one hand, he was wondering why Akagi would not pursue the position of chief flagship, and on the other hand, he was shocked by the other party's attitude.

After all, Akagi had caused a lot of trouble for the flagship in the past, and had become obsessed with it. But in just two months, this position was no longer worth mentioning in her eyes, like garbage.

This made Nagato very confused and curious, but considering that her relationship with the other party had not yet eased, she did not continue to ask.

"Since you don't plan to compete with me, does that mean that we, the Sakura Empire, have come together again?"

Let’s forget about what Akagi did to Jiang Feng just now. Nagato looked a little excited. Perhaps in her hands, the Sakura Empire would be integrated again to resist the Sirens together.

"Hehe~ Maybe."

With a meaningful smile, Akagi ignored Nagato and walked straight towards Xia Bai.

With a complicated look, Akagi grabbed Xiao Akagi, with a crazy and dangerous expression on his face: "What do you want to do to my dear, are you looking for death?"

"Put me down now, I hate you...Hurry up and drive this bad woman away!"

Intimidated by the arrogant adult, little Akagi kept waving his limbs in the air, desperately seeking Xia Bai's help.

Seeing little Akagi being bullied like this, Xia Bai couldn't bear it any longer and had to strike back hard to teach Akagi a lesson.

"Um, Akagi, why don't you let her go? After all, little Akagi has some connection with you. Is it okay to do so..."

With a somewhat weak tone, Xia Bai pleaded for little Akagi, and wondered what happened to Akagi. She had never been jealous when he played with the little ship girl before, but why did she seem to be targeting little Akagi now?

"Let her go...Okay, I'll listen to you, dear." After saying that, Akagi threw little Akagi to Tiancheng on the side, and hugged Xia Bai's right hand, secretly giving little Akagi a few smug looks, which made the other party very angry.

If someone else bullied little Akagi like this, Xia Bai would definitely not tolerate it, but if it was Akagi, he would have no way to deal with the other party.

His right arm was pressed against Akagi's plump 'giant cat'. Even through his clothes he could feel the soft, elastic touch, as well as the faint fragrance.

Xia Bai sighed and said that between the small one and the big one, he had made the right choice by choosing the big one.

As if seeing through Xia Bai's thoughts, Chi Cheng said with a smile: "Dear, what are you thinking about? Can you tell me?"

"I was wondering what the banquets in Sakura Empire are like, and whether my attire is in accordance with your etiquette."

After so much experience, Xia Bai was already very familiar with lies, and when he heard Chicheng's question, he opened his mouth and answered.

The slender white fingers pointed to the red lips. Akagi tilted his head slightly and thought for a while. The fox ears on his head stood up and smiled: "It's no big deal. It's just a group of people sitting together to eat and discuss."

"So don't be nervous dear, I'll be with you."

Seeing Akagi's particularly feminine little movements, Xia Bai began to suspect that the other party had been possessed. Logically speaking, only Shokaku would do such little movements unconsciously.

But he wasn't stupid enough to ask the other party directly, instead he changed the subject and said, "Let's not talk about that, let's talk about business... Akagi, have you ever thought about reconciling with Nagato?"

Looking up at Xia Bai, Akagi's eyes instantly became empty and lifeless, and he said without any emotion: "Ala ala~ Dear, are you tempted by Atago's proposal?"

As if not noticing Akagi's change, Xia Bai shook his head and continued, "It's not because of this. I was thinking that if Akagi could reconcile with Nagato, it would be a good thing for the Sakura Empire."

"Fighting each other will only create a more tragic spiral. You are all Sakura Empire shipgirls, and there is no hatred that cannot be resolved."

"Rather than wasting time on meaningless internal waste, I think it's better to focus on external enemies."

"What do you think of Akagi?"

Chapter 51: The Miko Wants to Serve the 'God'

Until the end, Akagi just smiled and perfunctorily ignored Xia Bai's suggestion. No one knew what she really thought.

Before entering the castle tower, Xia Bai was quite curious about what was inside. After all, it was so mysterious and outsiders were prohibited from entering.

But when he actually climbed up the stairs at the bottom of the mountain, he felt that it was just like that. There was nothing much to say about the interior decoration, just a little luxurious, with a stronger Japanese flavor.

According to Xia Bai, it was not as interesting as the stone piers beside the stairs going up the mountain. Moreover, it happened to be summer, and there were many fireflies surrounding it. Combined with the lights in the stone piers, the quiet stairs had a dreamy atmosphere.

"Master Xia Bai, Master Xia Bai! Please sit here."

Looking at the cat-eared priestess who was slowly losing her vitality, Xia Bai quietly glanced at Akagi beside him, waved his hand and refused: "No need, I can just find a seat anywhere."

"Oh~ That won't do. Lord Nagato said that you are an important guest and you should sit in the deputy seat at the banquet."

It doesn't matter to him where he sits, as the guest should follow the host's wishes. But after all, Akagi is present, so he has to consider the other party's feelings, right?

In order to prevent Akagi from getting mad and embarrassing Nagato, Xia Bai wanted to continue to refuse, but unexpectedly, Akagi said, "That position is currently the most suitable for your status... Just go, dear, don't worry about me and Kaga."

Xia Bai was a little confused by this. Could it be that Akagi had heard what he said? Was she already planning to settle her relationship with Nagato?

With a confused mind, Xia Bai nodded and followed the Fox-eared Ship Girl to the first seat below the main seat. On the way, he also learned the name of this Ship Girl.

The second ship of the Fuso-class battleship - Yamashiro.

Like their elder sister Fuso, they are all shrine maidens who serve the 'gods'. Of course, since Nagato is the son of God, they are currently serving Nagato.

Xia Bai has been confused for a long time as to the relationship between the "God" and the "Son of God" of the Sakura Empire. According to the literal meaning, Nagato should be the son of God, but the ship girls are either salvaged or built, so what does they have to do with the so-called "God".

Regarding this issue, Shancheng gave him a lively explanation.

It turns out that Nagato was born to fulfill his destiny. Not long after he was salvaged, Shinano discovered his potential and believed that he would lead the Sakura Empire one day.

Therefore, the title of "Son of God" was given to Nagato because she was considered by the Sakura Empire's ship girls to be a leader given by God.

As for what the so-called "God" is, Xia Bai did not ask. In this dangerous and distorted world, the faith in one's heart can make him feel at ease, even if it is false and fragile.

Anyway, Xia Bai is not interested in the existence of "God".

Rather than pinning his hopes on an illusory "god", he believes in himself more. There is no god in this world, and he will not listen to the prayers of believers, otherwise many tragedies would not have happened.

If we must say it, Xia Bai can also shamelessly call himself a god. He is the god of brilliance and also the god of Tsukuyomi.

Sitting cross-legged on the cushion, Xia Bai felt uncomfortable. It was modern society now, wouldn't his waist and legs hurt from sitting like this? Why should he follow traditions?

Just as he was secretly complaining, a ship girl who looked quite similar to Yamashiro came over, bowed to Xia Bai, and a capable and intellectual voice sounded.

"Lord Xia Bai, I am Fuso... For the rest of the banquet, let me and Yamashiro serve you together."

"Yes! Please allow me and Sister Fuso to serve Master Xia Bai together."

After saying that, Fuso and Shancheng sat down next to Xia Bai, one on each side, and picked up the small pot on the table and filled it with wine for him.

To be honest, this treatment was quite good. The service of the twin cat-eared shrine sisters made Xia Bai a little distracted just thinking about it, but what followed was Akagi's dangerous gaze.

Under that gaze, Xia Bai felt as if he was trapped in a blazing furnace; every movement seemed to burn him.

For the sake of their safety, he pretended to be a gentleman and said, "Forget about serving me. I am not without hands or feet. I can still do this little thing myself."

"If you are here to follow Nagato's orders, there is no need to compromise. Just do what you have to do."

Having said that, Xia Bai believed that the two priestesses would understand his good intentions, but Fuso shook his head and chuckled, "It was not Lord Nagato's intention that Shancheng and I serve Lord Xia Bai."

"We insisted on coming here. There was no such thing as compromise."

"Today in the sea, Lord Xia Bai's power made us admire him. Only gods can change the world..."

Hearing this, Xia Bai shook his head and quickly replied: "Don't talk nonsense, that's just a trick, it has nothing to do with the 'god' you serve."

As for the witches who were having wild thoughts, Xia Bai felt it was his responsibility to dispel the unnecessary thoughts in their minds. "Serving the gods is your own business, don't involve me."

"That's a mecha, that's technology... You get it, use scientific means to take a stand and change the world..."

Xia Bai said this without any confidence, and his voice of explanation became smaller and smaller.

To be honest, he was also thinking about 'Dark Moon·Eternal Night' and the 'God Finger' of the God of Glory... Can these moves really be explained by science?

The more Xia Bai thought about this, the more he felt that these two forms might have walked into the wrong set, and the Super Robot War next door was where they should be.

If I can't even convince myself, how can I convince Fuso?

Staring at Xia Bai with her gentle deep blue eyes, Fusang said calmly: "Lord Xia Bai is the son of Prometheus and possesses a huge mechanical weapon. Fusang knows this."

"But the name Prometheus comes from foreign mythology. He is the god who stole fire for mankind..."

As he said this, Fusang's dignified face became very excited and he lowered his head heavily.

"Forgive me for being rude, but may I ask why Lord Xia Bai calls himself Yue Ye Jian Zun?"

"..."

He seemed to understand Fuso's thoughts a little.

It is not about regarding oneself as a god, but about wanting oneself to verbally acknowledge the identity of a god.

In this way, the two priestesses who serve the gods will not be confused about their duties. Perhaps, Fuso and Yamashiro are very clear about whether there are gods in this world.

This is just wishful thinking and psychological support.

However, the appearance of Xia Bai rekindled the hope of the two. They longed to acknowledge the existence of gods and their own significance as witches through Xia Bai's mouth.

But can Xia Bai say such an admission?

A white lie can temporarily numb the heart, but after the lie is exposed, what will happen to the witches whose faith collapses?

Chapter 52 What is Needed

Xia Bai couldn't do such a thing. Perhaps if he just nodded now, the two beautiful and charming priestesses would offer him their beautiful bodies and become his exclusive possessions.

But when the truth comes to light, this illusory lie will cause the faith in Yamashiro and Fuso to collapse.

And there is no need for others to expose it. As long as Xia Bai loses in front of them once, the so-called "god" will collapse on his own.

Because the 'god' that the witch believes in is omnipotent and invincible, it is impossible for them to lose the battle.

So, Xia Bai stared into Fuso's deep blue eyes and said seriously: "That was the mecha that Kaga and I deployed together. It was just called Tsukuyomi... The words about the Moon Phantom were not my original intention."

"I don't know whether there are gods in the world. This still needs to be verified, but..."

"I can confirm that I am not the god you are seeking and serving."

"That's all."

After hearing these words, Fusang's face turned pale and her expression was extremely miserable. Her white jade-like hands could not help but press tightly against her chest.

"I...I understand. Thank you, Lord Xia Bai, for your answer."

With drooping eyebrows and mist in her eyes, Fusang bit her lips tightly to prevent herself from crying.

Perhaps what Shancheng and I have been pursuing has always been wrong. How could there be gods in this world?

That kind of thing... doesn't exist.

Looking at Fuso's expression, even though Xia Bai knew that he was doing this for her own good, he still felt a little guilty and remorseful.

I want to comfort the other person, but I don’t know where to start.

"Intimate Big Brother" is only for ship girls who are confused and entangled in their hearts, but faith is not within the scope of business.

"Why should Sister Fusang be sad? What we place our trust in and believe in is originally an illusory existence."

"Since Lord Xia Bai can summon the great mecha named Tsukuyomi, then we can just treat him as our god... Tsukuyomi and Sakura, isn't that great?"

As if not affected by Xia Bai's words, Shancheng tilted his head and naively persuaded Fuso.

She clasped her hands together in front of her chest and continued with longing: "No one knows the posture of a god, no one knows what a god looks like, but Yamashiro believes that His Highness Xia Bai is a god, a god who can control Tsukuyomi."

"Hehe... maybe I can control other gods in the future."

An innocent and pure priestess?

She sighed inwardly. No matter what Shan Cheng was thinking, Xia Bai couldn't bear it and followed her words: "Maybe... Although I'm not a god, the mecha does have a form called the God of Radiance."

Such words seemed to make Fusang feel much better. She seemed to have grasped the last ray of hope and asked carefully: "Then Lord Xia Bai, are you willing to become our god?"

Forget it, it’s the same as not saying anything, and we are back to the starting point.

It is impossible for me to become a god. Why does Fuso, such a stubborn person, have to dwell on this and get stuck on it?

Patting his forehead, Xia Bai wanted to refuse outright and explain everything to the other party, but for some reason he remembered the mechanical sound when the God of Glory first appeared.

'I have lost everything, I can't see anything, I can only cry weakly...'

"So a new 'God' needs to be born?"

Thinking of this, Xia Bai realized something. Shancheng and Fuso were just like the sons of Prometheus.

At that time, the sons of Prometheus lost everything in the Battle of Solomon and could only huddle in a corner and lick each other's wounds.

But when he got to know Kewei, the darkness that was sweeping over him disappeared, and was replaced by a dazzling future.

What the priestesses need is not 'God', or 'God' is just a pseudonym. What they really want is to be able to see the future clearly in this chaotic and distorted world, and no longer pursue it so blindly and vigorously.
