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

"Mr. 01? Mr. 01..."

His eldest brother is still alive, this is the result of the life sensing device of the Son of Prometheus, but why is he unconscious now? Xia Bai can only think that he has mental problems and has not received enough stimulation, so he is now in a vegetative state.

After thinking for a while, Xia Bai whispered in RX-01's ear: "Stupid brother, if you don't wake up, 06 will get married."

RX-01 suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes, stared at Xia Bai, and said excitedly: "Really? She can actually get married?"

"..."

Chapter 228 Use your fists to express brotherly love!

"Brother, you are really worried that 06 won't be able to get married because of her personality. After coming back to life, you don't care about your lovely brother, but you actually care about her marriage."

Covering his face, Xia Bai was helpless towards his elder brother. He just tried it on a whim, but he didn't expect that this method would actually wake up RX-01.

"Isn't this normal? A younger brother is not as important as a younger sister. Moreover, in my hazy consciousness, I can sense that 02 has established connections with multiple spirits. It doesn't seem like she needs her elder brother to care about her marriage..."

Glancing at Kaohsiung and Sirius, RX-01 teased with a hearty smile, "You have a good relationship, right? Are they shipgirls?"

"Well, they are my...wedding ships."

Seeing Xia Bai proudly admitting the fact that he was a "bigamist", RX-01 scratched his face, thinking to himself how his second brother seemed to have become a different person, able to say such shameless words, and had better luck with women, completely different from his previous withdrawn appearance.

How long had I slept?

As if seeing RX-01's confusion, Xia Bai smiled and said, "As time goes by, people will naturally change. Although it has only been more than half a year since you 'died', a lot has happened in this half year."

"By the way, brother, how did you survive the Solomon Line, and how did you appear in the V-Project terminal?"

"I don't know. I'm not very clear about this." Shaking his head, RX-01 began to recall what happened before.

"After I covered your retreat, I was defeated by the Siren who claimed to be the Arbitrator. The gap in our strength was too obvious."

"No matter what method I used, I had no chance of injuring the opponent. Just when I was ready to face death calmly, a dazzling beam of light hit my body. I can't remember anything after that."

"When I regained consciousness, I found myself in an unfamiliar cockpit. The original mecha had been transformed into a different appearance. I sensed that the Son of Prometheus had deployed the mecha and I chased after him..."

RX-01 seemed to realize something and immediately covered his mouth.

Oops, I let it slip!

"You did it on purpose, ignoring the communication and hiding in the cockpit pretending to be dead!"

After hearing what RX-01 said, Xia Bai was immediately furious and grabbed the other person by the collar.

This guy was indeed conscious. After seeing that it was him, he deliberately didn't answer.

"Brother, I just wanted to play a joke to see if 02 could recognize me... Didn't you notice that I deliberately used the 'roll maneuver' during the battle?"

RX-01's eyes were wandering and his face looked a little embarrassed.

"Let's not talk about whether I recognized you or not. Big brother, why didn't you stop after I knocked off a piece of the cockpit?" Xia Bai was really convinced. It was a long-lost meeting of brothers, but he had to make it like this. What if he was not careful and went too far?

He has no idea at all, what a fool he is.

Looking at the ferocious smile on Xia Bai's face, RX-01 swallowed and said softly: "Okay, I admit that I was stupid and wanted to scare 02..."

Sighing, Xia Bai loosened RX-02's collar and said sternly, "As our eldest brother, can't you be a little more mature? Sigh, I'm too lazy to tell you. Wait until we meet 03 and let her teach you a lesson."

Holding his fist in front of RX-01, Xia Bai laughed from the bottom of his heart.

"Welcome back."

"Well, I'm back. Thank you for your hard work during this period."

The two fists touched lightly, and RX-01 held Xia Bai's hand and stood up, with his eyebrows slightly raised.

"Tell me about the current situation. It seems that you and the military are working together to deal with something."

The relationship between brothers is not so protracted or pretentious. As long as they confirm that the other party is still alive, a simple fistfight can convey their feelings to each other.

......

"That's basically the situation. We have united to fight against the evil beasts from another world."

Sitting on a smooth stone, Xia Bai briefly explained the current situation to RX-01. Seeing RX-01's excited look, he tentatively asked, "Brother, you don't want to go to the battlefield, do you? Although Xiao Shiliu and the others will be happy to see you..."

"Can your current physical condition really sustain intense combat?"

Although RX-01 seemed to be in good spirits, Xia Bai was almost certain that his physical condition was very bad. RX-01 was confirmed dead by the life perception system at the time, and there was no doubt about that.

Xia Bai didn't know what specific method Edward used, but there must be great limitations to resurrection from the dead.

However, RX-01 patted his chest and said confidently: "Yes, why not? As long as there are enough supplies, the mecha destroyed by you, 02, can be repaired."

"Brother, you should know that I'm not talking about mecha!"

"02 You should also know that I will not give up. Some things are more important than my own life, such as protecting this beautiful world."

As optimistic as ever, as naive as ever, just like the protagonist in a third-rate hot-blooded comic, who can deceive people into saying such childish words without making them blush or feel nervous.

Protect this beautiful world?

Ah...

Xia Bai couldn't feel how beautiful the world was. To him, the only things that were beautiful were the people around him.

"We don't need your strength now, nor do we need my strength. As long as we wait for tolerance to arrive, this crisis will resolve itself."

"So there is no need to risk such a big risk to fight. My suggestion is that you just wait patiently in the military base."

With his hands folded in front of his chest, RX-01 stared into Xia Bai's eyes and asked seriously, "02, do you really think so?"

"Leave all the dangers to the ship girls, soldiers, and your ally who may arrive at any time."

Faced with such questioning, Xia Bai seemed very angry. He grabbed RX-01's shoulder and said with gritted teeth: "Do you think I want this?"

"We don't need to fight in this battle. Brother, why don't you understand? Think about the sons of Prometheus. What will happen if something happens to you on the battlefield again?"

"Ask yourself, are you really able to continue fighting in your current physical condition? When will you think about us, brother?"

Kaohsiung originally thought that the reunion between brothers should be a joyous one, but Xia Bai had a big quarrel with his brother. Seeing the other party pulling up his sleeves, he was probably preparing to use a set of "brotherly friendship and respectful boxing" to persuade the stubborn RX-01.

They are ready to fight as soon as they disagree with each other. Are the emotions between men so inexplicable?

Chapter 229 RX-01 used the art of speech - a great success!

With a very calm expression, RX-01 shook his head.

"02 is right, but something has to be done. The fighting blood in my body is boiling, and it's calling me..."

"Calling you big-headed ghost!"

Xia Bai interrupted RX-01's second-year remarks and finally couldn't bear it any longer, so he showed his fist as big as a casserole and knocked him to the ground with one punch.

"Why can't you be more mature, brother, and listen to what I have to say."

"There is a limit to playing dumb!"

Feeling the pain on his right cheek, RX-01's eyes flashed with understanding. He slowly stood up and began to fold his sleeves.

"02 Your punch really hurts..."

"As the eldest brother of Prometheus's son, I should set an example, and my foolish younger brother should be awakened by my hard fist!"

With a loud roar, RX-01 rushed towards Xia Bai with its fists raised, causing Kaohsiung's eyelids to twitch.

"They really started a fight..."

"Well, my proud master got into a fight with his brother whom he hadn't seen for a long time."

"It's already this late, why is the commander still acting like a child...Should we go up and talk to him?"

"No, men's emotions are transmitted through their fists. Every time their fists collide, each other's thoughts will be transmitted to the other's mind... This is what Befa taught me."

In order to prove the authority of his theory, Sirius specifically mentioned the head maid at the end.

"Is that so? It doesn't seem very reliable..." Belfast's formulaic smiling face appeared in his mind, and Kaohsiung's hand holding the scabbard turned a little pale.

The warrior's intuition told Kaohsiung that the royal maid was not as simple as she seemed.

It can be seen from the time when she was chasing Essex that Belfast must be hiding an important secret from others, which may be related to Xia Bai's current abnormality.

"You are stubborn. Brother, how many times do you want me to tell you that now is not the time for us to take action!"

"I know my physical condition well. It's just that my core is damaged. Compared to seeing other people die in front of me, this little injury is insignificant... It's you who are stubborn, Xia Bai!"

Finding the right opportunity, RX-01 knocked Xia Bai to the ground, then turned around and rode on him and shouted: "I know your core is also damaged, but this is not a reason to retreat."

"If you want to go, then go. Don't let such trivial matters restrain your fighting instinct. The son of Prometheus should not rely on others for his existence. Have you become afraid of death because of being among the ship girls?"

His pupils contracted, and Xia Bai forgot to resist for a moment and could only passively take the beating.

Like me, my brother's core was also damaged? How did he know that his core was damaged?

As soon as the doubt came up, Xia Bai immediately put it behind his mind. Now was not the time to explore these things. The most important thing at the moment was to convince the other party.

"It's all because of you, a bastard, who didn't say anything in the cockpit that I had to use my ability again. It wouldn't have turned out like this. I should have been able to hold out for one more Tsukuyomi in this battle."

As soon as he said this, Xia Bai was punched again, and was stunned.

"These are not reasons. We were created as weapons. Our lives are empty and sad. There is no such thing as a future."

With a dejected look on his face, RX-01 swung his fist again.

"If we abandon the fight again, we will have nothing. You backed down this time, but can you promise not to back down next time? What about the next time? Will you still be able to protect your wedding ship with the broken core by then?"

"..."

Xia Bai was silent, because when he wanted to nod and say yes, he suddenly felt a little hesitant. Because of the emotional constraints and the agreement with others, he began to fear death.

If Akashi hadn't figured out a way to repair the core, he might actually not have fought.

"It's different... Shipgirls are different from humans."

"What's the difference? We are all living beings in this world. Do you still want to distinguish between high and low in your heart? How is your thinking different from those who look down on the son of Prometheus?"

"When you see lives that have nothing to do with you pass away without any emotional fluctuations, are you still yourself?"

"You said before that you don't want to see sadness and want to fight for those who shouldn't die."

Raising his right arm high, RX-01 clenched his fist and said in a fiery voice: "Brother, I believe that the gentleness in your heart has not disappeared, but has only been covered with dust due to the passage of time."

"Now I will use my fist to completely dispel your confusion."

Just as he was about to throw out his life-correcting punch, RX-01 found that his wrist was tightly clamped. He swallowed and turned his head stiffly: "Well... this is our family matter. I'm doing this for 02's own good. My sister-in-law shouldn't be so angry, right?"

That's right, it was Sirius who grabbed RX-01's wrist. At this moment, her face was gloomy, and her beautiful crimson eyes exuded a dangerous look as she looked up and down at RX-01.

When Xia Bai had the upper hand, she did not stop him, because it was an emotional exchange between brothers, but when Xia Bai was beaten up, it was a different story.

"I'm not angry. I'm just curious about what the core damage is. Could you please explain it to us?"

......

I don't want to see sadness, I want to fight for those who shouldn't die.

When did he forget what he had said? Was it when he returned from the Solomon Line, or after he met the glory and the awesomeness in Port William?

Xia Bai knew very well that the more he got along with the ship girls, the more afraid of death he became. The fact that he must not die before rescuing Shinano was just an excuse, a self-comfort that he did not dare to admit that he had become a coward.

Surrounded by so many gorgeous and colorful ship girls from the Sakura Empire, no one wants to die. He wants to live and enjoy spending time with them.

But unknowingly, the dream had been forgotten and sank into the dark and cold deep sea along with the death of RX-01.

You are complacent with your current status, and in the end you still have to rely on that idiot who came back from the dead to wake yourself up. Xia Bai, you are really a failure.

Breathing heavily, Xia Bai looked up at the crack in the night sky. His eyes were confused and empty, but gradually turned into determination.

The troops were still resisting the impact of the engineer-type beasts on their defense lines with their flesh and blood, but he, as the strongest man in the world, was cowering because of fear of death. It was really ugly.

Fighting is what I am best at. If I avoid fighting again, I will become a useless person who can do nothing.

So what if my core is damaged? I am still alive.

Chapter 230 What Soul Palace Guardian

"I shouldn't have asked Kaohsiung and Sirius to keep an eye on you, a rebellious wild boar. They are your ship girls, how can they keep an eye on you?"

Sitting in the driver's seat, Xia Bai smiled and said to the helpless Ajax on the screen, "I can't survive if I don't fight. This is my own choice. Don't blame Sirius and Kaohsiung. They can't control me."

"Don't worry too much, just focus on your command. The Cricket Beast can't possibly cause any damage to my machine. It's been a while since I fought side by side with Big Brother. Let me be willful this time."

Before Ajax could open his mouth to scold, a hearty smile appeared on the screen again.

"02 is right. The five of us brothers will kill people together, haha."

"..."
