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

“Overall, it’s a little bit inferior, but there are some outstanding points.”

"When will the Siren come into the Royal's attack range?"

"Based on the speed they are sailing, it is estimated to be around 6pm."

"Then I guess you'll have to fight a night battle... If nothing unexpected happens, I can arrive before dawn tomorrow."

After getting Xia Bai's promise, Ajax breathed a sigh of relief. The night battle was inevitable, and they had to leave the Eagle and the Royal Ark to deal with possible chess players. If the Unicorn and Reputation were not good enough, they would have to bite the bullet and fight a defensive battle.

"Unicorn, reputation, javelin, thanks... Never mind, time waits for no one, let's meet at the beach in an hour." Originally, Xia Bai wanted to call Sheffield to join, but when he thought that he might be distracted during the battle if he called him, he cancelled the plan.

"Remember to bring what you need, prepare more fuel, red tips are even better, and if you get motion sickness, it's best to prepare motion sickness medicine." After saying this, Xia Bai strode out of the meeting room.

He also has to go back and make some preparations. Ajax has entrusted the Royal Family's hopes to him, and he cannot let this hard-earned trust down.

And he also has to convince that guy to go with him.

After Xia Bai left, the three ship girls whose names he called looked at each other.

"Do you feel that Mr. Xia Bai seems like a different person? His style is a bit like that of Tiexue..." Reputation considered it for a moment and did not say it out loud.

The unicorn shyly covered her face with the doll named 'Yu-chan' in her hand, and actually compared herself with Sister Guanghui.

"Wait, why can't I understand what Mr. Xia Bai and Ajax are saying? Can anyone of you explain it to me?" Being called out inexplicably, Javelin is now at a loss. What are these two people talking about?

Chapter 5 Javelin: Riddler, get out of the meeting room!

"Do you understand? Can you explain it to me?"

All the ship girls around shook their heads in confusion, and Javelin looked expectantly at Ajax again.

"Don't ask me. I have other things to do now and I don't have time to answer these questions with you. Belfast should understand. You can ask her." After saying that, Ajax stood up from the chair and left the meeting room.

She suddenly remembered that the Royal Navy had another ship girl, and no one knew where she was on the island. Ajax wanted to find her, and with that girl's fighting power, she could be used as a surprise killer.

After Ajax's back completely left, the ship girls in the conference room looked at Belfast, who thought for a while and spoke.

"I only roughly understood what they said, and with my own guess, I should understand..." There was some hesitation in her words, and it was obvious that the head maid herself was not very sure.

Hearing this, Elizabeth felt as if a cat was scratching her heart again, and couldn't wait to say, "Befa, what do you understand? Tell me quickly."

Belfast did not keep the secret and revealed Ajax and Xiabai's plan in full.

"If the Royal Family wants to fight a defensive battle with the Sirens, we will definitely not be able to hold on with our current personnel."

"So the Sakura Empire's Fifth Air Squadron and Second Mine Squadron naturally became our targets for assistance."

"Although they are currently seeking help, don't forget that we have people here who can fly in the air."

"Mr. Xia Bai will control the mecha and lead a small number of people to help the Sakura Empire and bring back the trapped fleet. The rest will stay here and fight the Sirens."

"That's all part of the plan."

"But there are two difficulties in this plan. First, Mr. Xia Bai must come back before we lose the battle. Don't worry about that. With the Royal Island behind us, we can still hold out for a long time."

"The second is that Mr. Xia Bai wants to successfully rescue the Sakura Empire fleet... To be honest, I'm not optimistic."

Speaking of this, Belfast seemed worried. She didn't understand why Ajax believed that Xia Bai could bring the fleet back. Even the usually arrogant Sakura Empire was forced to ask for help. It would be useless for Xia Bai to take these people with him.

But at this time, Elizabeth finally took out the majesty of the royal queen and agreed to this plan. Although she didn't understand many things, was willful and playful, but she still had the necessary judgment.

"I think this plan is very good. Since the servant has made a promise, he must have a way."

"Instead of worrying about these, we should discuss how we should fight next."

Then he pointed the scepter at the three people Xia Bai had named, and said with a serious expression: "Hurry up and get ready. This time, I have given full command of the battle to the servants. You must follow his command and don't lose the face of our royal family."

"Yes, Your Majesty." X3

After one hour.

Xia Bai changed into a piece of clothing with black flames printed on it and stood on the shore, checking again and again for any items left behind.

He had already called Sirius, but he didn't know whether the other party would come.

Going to see Sirius was more to help her get over it. It was not a good idea to keep herself closed off.

Xia Bai really had no way to deal with her. If he said he owed Sirius anything, he did not do anything wrong to him, but if he said there was nothing going on between them, that would be a lie.

But it doesn't matter if she's not there, it's just that she's responsible for more things, the Javelin is for anti-submarine and fish, the Unicorn is for aviation advantage, and the reputation is because she has enough firepower.

Forget it, don’t think about this anymore.

Looking at the three javelin players running towards him, Xia Bai checked the time and found that they were quite punctual.

"Are all your things ready?"

Hearing Xia Bai's question, the unicorn blushed and replied shyly: "I'm ready...Brother Xia Bai, shall we set off now?" As he spoke, he almost buried his head in the doll in his hand.

Xia Bai was not surprised by the Unicorn's actions. That was her personality. She was easily shy, but she was still very reliable in battle. This was what Guanghui said when he introduced the Unicorn to him.

Speaking of Guanghui, Xia Bai always felt that she loved her adopted sister Unicorn more than her biological sister Kewei.

"Wait a little longer. If she doesn't come in five minutes, we will set off. Now, Javelin, you should deploy the battleship first."

Javelin was a little confused again and asked in confusion: "Aren't we in a hurry? Why do we need to deploy the battleships? Mr. Xia Bai's RX-02 is much faster than mine."

The battleship armament is achieved by further communicating the ship equipment, bringing the historical battleships back to reality, which can be regarded as half of the body of the ship girls.

Generally speaking, battleships are armed to carry people on the road, because battleships are too large to be easily targeted by fire when used for combat.

"Just call me Xia Bai, Mr. Biejia... I asked you to deploy the warships because I wanted to try to attract some of the Sirens to chase us and relieve the pressure on Elizabeth."

"You are a destroyer. The Battle Sirens can't catch up with you. They can only use some smaller models to chase you. Maybe they can kill them all."

It is impossible to leave easily, Xia Bai still wants to do something.

"I understand, leave it to me!" Javelin nodded and deployed the battleship's armed forces on the sea.

A steel behemoth of about one hundred meters in length slowly emerged. This was the historical J-class destroyer - the Javelin.

"Um... who are we waiting for?" Shengyu thought for a long time and suddenly asked. She was always a step behind others.

"Yes, it's Sirius. I went to look for her."

"Sirius?" Hearing this name, Fame's expression suddenly became gossipy, and he continued to ask: "I heard that you and Sirius have a mutual love for each other, but you can't get the approval of Her Majesty the Queen. Is this true?"

"Who told you this? Don't slander someone's innocence out of thin air!" After hearing what Shengyu said, Xia Bai almost vomited blood. Who was spreading the rumor again?

Seeing Xia Bai's reaction, Reputation lowered his head in disappointment: "So that's not the case. You play music in front of Sirius's room every day. The whole royal family knows about it. They even set a time limit for you to enter Sirius's room."

"It was War-Yan who asked me to go to...spy on Sirius, and there were only conflicts between us, no love." Xia Bai tried his best to explain, he seemed to understand why Sheffield ignored him.

"Is it because Sirius is not pretty? Xia Bai, why don't you like her?"

"I've already said that we only have conflicts. She is very beautiful, whether it's her short silver hair, her rosy eyes, or her long legs... She is perfect. But it's too superficial to fall in love with someone just because she is beautiful."

"So that's how it is, I...Sirius, you are here." Shengwang wanted to say something else, but suddenly saw Sirius behind Xia Bai and immediately changed his words.

Xia Bai turned his head stiffly and found the silver-haired girl staring at him.

Chapter 6 Fishing

The person being talked about was behind him, and he didn't know how much he heard. Xia Bai was very embarrassed at this moment, and he coughed his throat pretending to be serious.

"You are still talking nonsense when we are about to attack. Can you be more serious, Reputation? Since Sirius is here, let's set off." Then he took the lead to board the battleship and waved his hand.

"Hurry up, who will be held responsible if the fighter plane is delayed?"

Reputation shrugged and followed Xia Bai with the other three people onto the Javelin. The battleship slowly started and carried the five-man support team away from the Royal.

"Javelin, let's go around from the north first to test the siren's reaction."

"Isn't it too dangerous? We are going to support the Sakura Empire. What if we are targeted by the Sirens and held back?"

"Don't worry. If the situation gets bad, I will immediately deploy the RX-02 to take you into the air. I also think that the Siren is unusual, and it would be beneficial to the garrison if I can find anything."

Seeing that Xia Bai was so persistent, Javelin didn't say anything else. After all, Elizabeth gave the command to Xia Bai, and they just had to obey orders.

So the warship sailed towards the Siren.

On the way, Xia Bai looked at Sirius. There was nothing wrong with the other party. She still had a cold face as usual. Although Sirius might not pay attention to him, Xia Bai still decided to talk to her.

"I just wanted to give it a try, but I didn't expect you to come. How are you? Are you feeling better?"

Sirius stood on the deck looking at the endless sea. She didn't look back after hearing Xia Bai's words. The sea breeze blew her silver hair. She tucked her hair behind her ears with her hands and answered lightly.

"I'm not so weak that I can't attack. The reason I came here is only because you are the only one who called me."

"..."

How can I continue the conversation? How could the royal family forget Sirius at such a critical moment? Or is it because of mental problems that the other party is unwilling to call her?

Walking to Sirius' side from behind and leaning against the fence, Xia Bai lit a cigarette and stared at Sirius's delicate face.

"Maybe it's not that they forgot about you, but maybe they have other things for you to do."

After listening to Xia Bai's explanation, Sirius shook his head.

"Do you believe such an excuse? You don't need to comfort me... I'm not needed anyway."

"I can't pretend I didn't hear what you said. What do you mean by not being needed? Didn't I call you as soon as I was about to attack?" Seeing that Sirius was about to start getting stuck in a rut again, Xia Bai stopped mentioning the royal family and continued to persuade him in a different direction.

"Think about it, why didn't I call on all the light cruisers left behind, and only called on Sirius? Isn't it because you are stronger?"

"I don't feel comfortable letting anyone else take on such an important mission. I know your combat capabilities very well. No one is more suitable for this mission than you."

"What did I say? Being kicked out of the Queen's Guard doesn't mean we can't fight anymore... Think about it, if we complete this mission beautifully, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of War-weary?"

"When she begs Sirius for help, you won't go back."

As he said this, Xia Bai prayed in his heart that War-Disgusted would forgive him. He said that all this was to make Sirius feel better.

Sirius ignored Xia Bai's nonsense. He just turned his head, stared at his face and sneered.

Xia Bai felt a little scared when being stared at by those crimson eyes. He quickly threw the cigarette in his hand into the sea, wondering if he had said something wrong again.

"Then let me ask you—"

"do you need me?"

The emotionless voice reached Xia Bai's ears, and he immediately put aside his uneasiness.

"Yes, I definitely need it. If I didn't, why would I ask you to come? Go call Xie Fei..."

"I'm asking again, do you need me?"

Sirius interrupted Xia Bai and repeated the question, his eyes revealing his seriousness as he desperately sought an answer.

At this time, Xia Bai also understood that it was not about asking himself whether he needed it, but whether her existence had any meaning.

"Yes, even if we can't fight anymore, Sirius is worth existing." When saying this, Xia Bai's expression was extremely serious.

"Really... Maybe I can try to change too." After getting Xia Bai's answer, Sirius turned his head to face the sea, and the expression on his face softened.

"Thank you."

Before Xia Bai could hear clearly what Sirius said, he felt that the other party's mental fluctuations were no longer illusory and confused, but became solid, as if he had made up his mind.

Xia Bai put aside his worries when he found that Sirius seemed like a different person. Although he didn't know why she suddenly got better, this was considered as helping her to get over it. The task assigned to him by Yan Zhan was finally completed.

This attack had a good start, which made Xia Bai's heart full of expectations. He couldn't help but think that the next plan would go smoothly.

At this time, the unicorn ran over hurriedly with a red face.

"Brother Xia Bai, the Siren has discovered us."

"Fire two shots at reputation!" Xia Bai immediately gave the order after hearing it.

"It's too far away for me to hit."

"It doesn't matter if we miss. Let's see how the other party reacts." After Xia Bai finished explaining, he touched the unicorn's head and praised it. The other party also squinted its eyes and enjoyed the touch.

This purple-haired girl shyly asked if she could call him brother when they first met. This title reminded Xia Bai of the sons of Prometheus, so he readily agreed.

After all, who doesn’t love cute unicorns, especially those shy ones? Maybe this is the so-called sister-type character. Anyway, RX-03 and the others didn’t give me that feeling.

'boom--'

The bombardment of Renown shook the warship as well, and the shells fell into the water soon after, far away from the Siren.

There was a commotion on the Sirens' side for a while, and soon a fleet of Siren fleet broke away from the camp and chased after Xia Bai and the others.

Seeing this, Xia Bai stopped patting the head and said to the unicorn: "Let the carrier-based aircraft take off. Don't get too close. Let's see what kind of characters the Siren sends to chase us."

At the same time, he shouted at Javelin who was concentrating on operating the battleship.

"Javelin, keep up this speed and we're leaving. The other party has taken the bait."
