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

"Sorry, we are late... Well, do we really need to leave? I don't think the commander will be so heartless."

"You've only met the commander a few times, and you know him well?"

"But the commander hasn't shown up yet. Shokaku, don't you suspect that someone has falsely passed on the order?"

After thinking for a moment, Shokaku said, "Sheffield is the commander's personal maid. She holds a higher position in his heart than any of us. What she said cannot be false."

She and Sheffield are close friends. The other party has never been arrogant because of her favor. She is always cautious in her dealings with others and only regards herself as Xia Bai's personal maid. She would never do such a thing as falsely conveying orders.

"Is that so..." Lexington lowered his head and said with some doubt, "I always feel that this matter reveals a sense of weirdness everywhere. Now that we are all leaving, it is a bit unreasonable for the commander not to show up."

Just when Lexington was beginning to get suspicious, Shokaku asked suddenly.

"have you eaten?"

Although he didn't know why Shokaku asked this at this time, Lexington still appreciated the other party's concern. He shook his head and said, "I left in a hurry and haven't had lunch yet."

"Heh, if you didn't eat it... take my knife!"

It happened sooner or later. Before he could finish his words, Shokaku drew out the sword in his hand and slashed at Lexington.

Fortunately, Saratoga was quick to move and held the sword with both hands. She whispered, "Shokaku, what do you mean by this? Is this really the conspiracy you want to eradicate?"

Seeing that the attack missed, Shokaku sheathed the sword, smacked his lips and said, "Tsk, I was just warning your sister that some things can be moved and some things can't be moved."

"I warned her not to touch my things a long time ago, but now she comes to my house shamelessly."

After hearing this, Saratoga immediately retorted unconvincedly: "Is there a rule that says that just because you, Shokaku, like the Commander, my sister can't?"

"My sister and the commander are a perfect match, talented and beautiful. How can you, a fool, object to this?"

"Maybe... You'd better be careful and don't let me find an opportunity."

After saying these harsh words, Shokaku turned and left. Although she had long thought about leaving Sakura Empire, Lexington's suspicion was reasonable, so she planned to go to Sheffield to ask about the situation.

"Stupid crane, with bad intentions, who is afraid of who..."

"Jia Jia, please stop talking. Shokaku doesn't really want to hurt me."

Hugging Lexington's shoulders, Saratoga said coquettishly, "Sister, which side are you on? Are you saying that I am wrong?"

Shaking his head silently, Lexington said, "No, it's just that I can understand Shokaku's heart... This matter is full of weirdness. She doesn't like me in the first place, so it's normal for her to take action when she's upset."

At the same time, Lexington was also lamenting in his heart. Commander, what are you thinking about? Why can't I understand it? Are you really going to ignore the Sakura Empire and look for another place?

.......

In fact, Xia Bai didn't know whether to build the Red Axis or not. After being pulled to the Royal by Sheffield, he sank into the dream space because of the connection with the Red Lotus. So he didn't know what happened outside.

Now Xia Bai and Honglian were lying on the evening primrose, admiring the full moon and pouring out their grievances to it.

"It's really disappointing to me that Tiancheng thinks like this. I trust her so much..."

"But it's understandable that she thinks so. I'm just possessive and vain. I want the Sakura Empire's shipgirls to have me in their hearts."

"Originally, this was just a matter between Amagi and me, but because of my wild thoughts, it affected other people... Honglian, do you think I am selfish and shameless?"

Touching his head, Honglian said: "I'm not sure what the relationship is between you and the creature called Kanmusu. Is it similar to the relationship between humans and husband and wife?"

"We can't really call it husband and wife. Amagi and I don't actually have that good of a relationship. I'm the commander and she's the shipgirl, that's all."

"Then I'm not sure. After all, I'm just a chubby Mecha God of the Top Seat. I don't understand the relationship between men and women."

Pulling off a stalk of evening primrose, Xia Bai looked up at the bright moon and sighed, "I know you don't understand, I'm just pouring out my grievances to you."

"I can't confess my inner struggle to anyone other than Sheffield. But Sheffield is my wedding ship after all, and it's not good to let her worry about me all the time."

"Only you in the conscious space can make me open my heart."

His expression became a little strange, and Honglian said in a deep voice: "Actually... I don't really understand the relationship between men."

Unable to resist, he punched Honglian and yelled, "What are you thinking? My sexual orientation is normal!"

His originally troubled and worried heart felt much better after being interrupted by Honglian.

"I didn't say that your sexual orientation is abnormal. Besides, Mechagods don't have genders. Why are you so anxious?"

Muttering quietly, Honglian seemed to have thought of something and warned sternly: "I know you can influence the Mecha God Space and make me become a woman... But let me be clear, I am the Top Seat, and whether I can change or not is another matter."

"If you dare to do this, I will no longer help you, the Fit One."

Hugging Honglian's plump body, Xia Bai said cheerfully, "Soulmates are not divided by gender. Don't worry, Honglian. I'm not that shy."

"Soul Friend?" Feeling that the word was interesting, Honglian asked, "When did I become your soul friend? Aren't we the relationship between a Mecha God and an Adapted Person?"

"Hey, you created this space of consciousness to talk to me day and night, sharing your innermost feelings with me. Does that mean you are not a soul mate?"

"..."

After hearing this, Honglian finally understood why Xia Bai was so eager to see her recently. It turned out that the fox transferred this part of the memory to herself.

Oh my god, it knows that Xia Bai has a deep love for Shinano. Wouldn’t something go wrong if it keeps wandering around randomly?

Thinking that their relationship seemed to be deteriorating, Honglian couldn't help but shudder, and quickly stood up and said, "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it, this space was not created by me."

"Someone else created this space... By the way, I called you here for this very purpose. 'She' is coming back soon, so you'd better make some preparations."

"who is she?"

"The owner of this space... you originally left a backup plan and didn't need my help, but I still want to remind you."

At this point, Honglian sang loudly: "Loving you is like a heartbeat that is hard to touch~ Because of your own reasons, this is all I can do. 'She' will be here soon, so goodbye."

After singing a line out of tune, Honglian disappeared into the dream space, leaving behind Xia Bai with a strange expression, mumbling to himself: "Loving you is like a heartbeat that is hard to touch..."

What the hell is this?

Chapter 188 You're awake, we've already run away

When in the Sith Sea, Xia Bai usually communicated with others in a modified version of English, which is Sith language. This is probably the common language of this world.

When in the Sakura Empire, both the 'local dialect' and the common language were used together. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Most of the ship girls in the Sakura Empire are from J country ships. Although Xia Bai is a wolf warrior, it's okay for her to speak a little 'local dialect'.

With the learning ability of KanColle and Son of Prometheus, it doesn't take much time to learn a few languages. As long as you are willing to learn, you can learn several important languages ​​in the world in less than a month.

But if Xia Bai heard correctly, what Honglian sang just now should be the Chongwen song that he hadn't heard for a long time. It is impossible for a top-level mecha god to sing a Chongwen song to him at this time just for fun. There must be another deeper meaning.

Loving you is like my heartbeat that is hard to touch... This sounds like a love song. Could it be that the deep meaning is to confess my love to myself?

Feeling a chill throughout his body, Xia Bai looked towards the place where Honglian disappeared, choking with speechlessness.

"That shouldn't be the case. Honglian is a mecha god and has no gender. There's no way between us. This must mean something else..."

"Hiss, but if Honglian wants to use force, what should I do?"

This mysterious lyric made Xia Bai feel uneasy. This was also the reason why he hated the riddle man so much. Why didn't he speak properly and pretend to be an expert? How could anyone know what it meant based on just one lyric? It was just a literal guess.

Xia Bai's uneasiness did not last long before it was dispelled by a sudden unexpected situation. A faint blue butterfly fluttered past his eyes, attracting his attention.

"Butterfly?"

"No, it's me...myself~"

A lazy and charming voice came out from the butterfly, accompanied by a cold light, and a beautiful gray fox ship girl appeared in front of Xia Bai.

There was tenderness and love in her cobalt blue eyes, as well as a barely perceptible trace of self-blame. She stretched out her hands towards the stunned Xia Bai, and her foxy lips slightly opened: "Commander, I am back."

However, Xia Bai did not rush up and hug Shinano tightly as Shinano expected. Instead, he took a half step back and looked Shinano up and down.

"Who are you?"

Shinano found that Xia Bai was looking at her as if she were a stranger, and her eyes were filled with mist. She said aggrievedly: "I am Shinano from the Sakura Empire... Don't you remember?"

He remembered nothing. As the commander of Sakura Empire, how could he not know whether Sakura Empire had the aircraft carrier Shinano? Now a Shinano who was "very familiar" with him suddenly appeared. There must be something fishy going on!

After calming down his aversion to the ship girl, Xia Bai asked tentatively: "You guessed right, I don't remember you... I heard from Honglian that you are the real owner of this space. Is there a relationship between you and me?"

"I am your wedding ship. We have been through so much together. Commander, do you really not remember?"

As if she couldn't accept the fact that Xia Bai had forgotten, tears flowed from Shinano's eyes. She wanted to walk up to Xia Bai and hug him, but once she got close, Xia Bai would back away with a nauseous look.

"Wait, don't come over here... I haven't been feeling well recently, and I'll feel like vomiting when I see unfamiliar shipgirls. Just keep your distance."

Covering his mouth, Xia Bai retreated to the hillside behind him, frowning tightly, and said, "Whether you remember or not is a trivial matter. You said that you were my wedding ship and we went through a lot together. What evidence is there?"

"Do you still want me to show my sincerity to the commander?"

It was strange, very strange. Xia Bai felt a weird feeling from Shinano. Although he didn't know him and couldn't remember him, a warning rose in his heart for no reason.

A big gray fox wouldn't talk like that...

Xia Bai didn't know where this warning came from, but the throbbing in his heart and the disgust and nausea showed him that the Shinano in front of him was very strange.

But the other person's tears and the mental fluctuations of sadness and regret were not fake...So, maybe I really forgot about Shinano?

Just as Xia Bai was confused and struggling about what was going on, Shinano below seemed to understand something and began to recount his past.

......

"And so, after dressing up for battle, I fell into a deep sleep and did not wake up until today."

"You are the commander of the Sakura Empire that I chose. Although I have done many wrong things, my feelings for you have not changed at all."

"The commander also said that he would go to the confinement camp to save me. As soon as I wake up, I will be able to see your face."

Xia Bai thought that these things did not seem to be made up. It was impossible to make them up so completely that many details could be mentioned, even including the time when he went to harass Sirius every day in the royal family.

So, was there really a fox ship girl accompanying me in my dreams along the way, but I just forgot about it for some reason?

"Get through Solomon's defense line and get in touch with Rei-chan, get the echo device and go to the confinement to save you... Yeah!"

As if he remembered something, Xia Bai cursed loudly, and then said to Shinano gently: "I suddenly remembered something important about you, so I'm leaving first. We'll talk later."

After saying that, Xia Bai's figure disappeared in the dream space.

He suddenly remembered how Sheffield had asked him to create the Red Axis. He had been so confused that he didn't take it seriously, thinking that the other party was just joking.

But now Shinano has said that she will not live long. If we really want to establish the Red Axis under the current circumstances, if we continue to drag it out, I'm afraid all our efforts will be in vain.

"...I didn't fall for it."

After Xia Bai disappeared, Shinano's tears disappeared completely. She looked up at the bright moon in the sky. The evening primroses around her swayed in the wind, giving off a faint glow.

Consciousness returns to the body.

As soon as he opened his eyes, Xia Bai felt a slight shaking sensation and the salty smell of sea water. On the side, Sheffield was talking to Bismarck.

"Thank you for your help, Miss Bismarck."

"It doesn't matter. We all have the same goal. Staying with the White Eagles will only cause trouble. Amagi can even ignore the commander of the Sakura Empire... This makes me realize that the Azur Lane is not united."

"I'm glad you understand... Master, you're awake."

Noticing that Xia Bai was looking at her with a gloomy look in his eyes, the maid stopped talking and bowed slightly, saying, "Master, we have now left the White Eagle Port area and will soon be out of the White Eagle territorial waters. We are currently heading towards the Hansek area."

"The island of Ternak over there will serve as the headquarters of our Red Axis. Miss Bismarck has already contacted the Iron Blood High Seas Fleet, and they will come to pick us up when the time comes."

Xia Bai: “????”

Chapter 189 Iron Blood Breakthrough

Xia Bai thought that Sheffield was so angry that he said "leave the Azure Lane and establish the Red Axis". Akagi was just talking about it and kept the idea in her heart. The maid didn't have the ability to take action.

But after hearing the other party's serious answer, Xia Bai was confused and just sat on the bed in a daze. The breath of the sea made him understand where he was.

When he was called into the dream space by Honglian, Sheffield, who was indignant for him, had already acted without authorization and led a group of ship girls to split up and find their own way out.

How should I put it? Xia Bai understood Sheffield's thoughts, but leaving Azur Lane in anger like that, wasn't that a bit... trifling?

The situation is difficult now. People have left the White Eagle Port area and there is no room to return. What should we do?

As soon as he finished thinking about this, Xia Bai looked up at Bismarck who was about to speak but hesitated, and shouted: "I didn't realize how you got in before!"

As if frightened by Xia Bai's sudden question, Bismarck trembled all over, wondering what this man was doing crazy again, and replied: "If it weren't for us Iron Blood, would you have come out?"

"Iron Blood already had a part in the Red Axis. After Sheffield contacted Akagi, he naturally asked Iron Blood if they wanted to join. Now I'm here again. How do you think I got in?"

With a smile on his stiff face, Bismarck stared at Xia Bai's face and asked, "You don't want to cross the river and destroy the bridge, don't forget... Peter and Tirpitz."

If Xia Bai wanted to kick Iron Blood off the ship at this time, Bismarck would really have no way to deal with it, so she put so much effort into this matter and even called in the High Seas Fleet guarding "Midgard".

Now talking about Tirpitz, it is also because Iron Blood has a certain degree of relationship with his sister, Peter and Xia Bai, in order to join the Red Axis and not shiver.

Hearing these two names, Xia Bai thought that Tirpitz was fine, but what did Peter have to do with him? This Iron Blood leader was just forcing a connection. He asked calmly, "Does that mean all of you Iron Bloods followed me out?"

Nodding, Bismarck said: "In addition to us, there is also your wedding ship and a small number of Sakura Empire shipgirls... these alone are enough to establish the Red Axis."

After hesitating for a moment, Xia Bai weakly asked: "Well, if, I mean if, we go back now, will you be angry, Bismarck?"
