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

"Hehe, Sister Guanghui, life in the royal family is too boring. Kewei finally found someone to talk about rock and roll with." Kewei said with a smile and playfully stuck out his tongue.

Awesome but also cute...

No, now is not the time to think about these things. Shaking his head to get rid of the delusion, Xia Bai took out the record and said to Kewei: "As an apology for today, I will give you this record. Please accept my apology."

"Did you really give it to me? Isn't this a gift for your brother?"

"Well, thank you very much, Glory and Awesome, for speaking for us, the Son of Prometheus. I don't have anything to offer you, so I'll give you this record. I think RX-16 will be very happy too."

RX-16, you should be able to understand my second brother, these are necessary "sacrifices".

"Hehe, then I'll accept your kindness." She put away her joyful expression, took the record like a lady and held it in her broad arms.

"It's getting late, I should go back too." Xia Bai stood up from his chair and said goodbye to Guanghui and Kewei. Then he thought for a moment, clasped his hands together and said to them, "The mountains remain unchanged and the rivers flow forever. We will meet again."

"Puchi." Hearing Xia Bai suddenly say such serious words, Kewei laughed out loud, "The mountains and rivers remain unchanged...the green waters flow forever...haha...Xia Bai, you are so funny." Kewei said while laughing so hard that he couldn't stop laughing and patted Guanghui's thigh beside him.

Hearing Kewei's laughter getting louder and louder, Xia Bai felt a little embarrassed. Was what he said so funny? He thought for a long time and thought that saying this to say goodbye would be particularly handsome.

"Xia Bai, don't take Kewei too seriously, hehe...she is like this in front of people she knows well." After saying this, Guanghui covered her rosy little mouth with the back of her white hand, her shoulders shaking constantly.

?

You are laughing, right? You must be laughing because I haven't stopped yet.

They are worthy of being called ship girls. They are so beautiful even when they laugh so inappropriately. Different from the elegant and noble feeling they gave me before, they are more real like ordinary girls.

After a while, Glory and Awesome stopped laughing.

Guanghui wiped the tears from his laughter and looked at Xia Bai with an apologetic look, saying: "I'm sorry, Xia Bai, Kewei and I both think that you are not the kind of serious person who is well-mannered. It is a bit of a contrast to the impression you give people when you suddenly say such words, so..."

"It's okay. I thought saying it out loud would be in line with the atmosphere of our farewell. It's no big deal if you just laugh."

"Then it's time for us to go back to the royal family. Everyone who came out on patrol with us has already gone back. Elizabeth will be worried about us if we stay here for so long. See you next time." After adjusting her skirt, Guanghui stood up and said goodbye to Xia Bai.

"See you someday, Xia Bai. Remember to listen to the rock music that Ke Wei recommended to you. I'll be angry if you don't listen to Ke Wei next time we meet."

"Goodbye, Guanghui. Don't worry, I will listen to the music you recommend."

After leaving the restaurant with Kewei and Guanghui, Xia Bai walked alone on the quiet street. It was so quiet. Was it because the coastal city was vulnerable to the attack of the Sirens and was still in the war preparation stage? If it was an inland city, the night life would have just begun. Walking towards the open space, Xia Bai thought to himself

Although I want to turn the situation around, I have never known how to do it. Fortunately, I met Guanghui and Kewei today, which gave me an accurate goal and allowed me to know where to start. Thinking of Guanghui and Kewei, Xia Bai's face showed a smile again.

That's great, Kanmei...

The moonlight was like freshly washed silk, soft and pure, spreading over the earth. The orange-yellow lights of the street lamps matched the elegant moonlight, forming an ingenious picture.

Yes, as long as we keep moving forward, the path of survival for the Son of Prometheus will continue to extend. We will eventually be free from the prejudice and persecution of others.

So, don't stop!

“Ouch.”

A strange whistling sound was heard in the night sky, and Xia Bai looked up.

Birds? But these birds are too strange, they seem to be throwing something? Thinking of this, Xia Bai widened his eyes and tried to see the flock of birds in the sky clearly.

The flock of 'birds' in the sky had black metal shells with strips of pink light hanging on them.

Xia Bai's pupils contracted.

Fuck, this isn't a bird, it's a Siren bomber.

"boom!"

The originally quiet Port William suddenly became lively

Chapter 8: Thanks for the invitation, I was almost shot down from the sky

The silent night was lit up by flames, and the city that should have been asleep was awakened. The sky seemed to be burning, and the smell of gunpowder and burnt food in the air entered Xia Bai's nostrils.

People's cries and shouts for help seemed to confirm that this was not some boring prank, and the Sirens had really crossed the numerous sea defense lines and broke in.

Could the Siren aircraft carrier actually cross the front line and launch a surprise attack here? Or have all the garrisons at the front been lost... No, now is not the time to think about these things. With the worst-case scenario in mind, Xia Bai patted his face and thought about how to deal with it.

Although the attack of the Son of Prometheus is ineffective against the heavily armored aircraft carrier Siren, as long as all the carrier-based aircraft are shot down, the aircraft carrier will be a toothless tiger. However... it is impossible that only one aircraft carrier is attacking. There is at least one escort fleet around this Siren aircraft carrier.

If the convoy was allowed to land at the port, the situation would get out of control.

So, should I conduct air defense first to clear all carrier-based aircraft or fight against the Siren's escort fleet?

Faced with the dilemma, Xia Bai was in a dilemma. He had difficulty making decisions, and was not good at thinking about the pros and cons of a battle. Perhaps letting RX-03, the think tank of the Son of Prometheus, make the choice easily.

"Forget it, never mind. All we can do in heaven is pray that Awesome and Glory haven't left this city, or haven't gone far." Xia Bai made the decision while shouting in self-destruction.

The burning flames around illuminated Xia Bai's face. Now that the decision had been made, all that remained was to be determined by victory or defeat on the battlefield.

“——Expand”

A blue and white mecha named RX-02 emerged from the flames, and the wing-shaped thrusters behind it roared and spewed out blue flames.

"Son of Prometheus, RX-02, attack."

The mecha rose into the air and flew towards the city's port.

"boom!"

Like a comet with a tail of flame, the shells rushed towards Xia Bai in the air.

"Judging from the sound, the caliber of the artillery fire is at least 380mm. Is there a damn battleship?" Seeing the shells getting closer and closer to him, Xia Bai shifted to the right and made an evasive maneuver to try to avoid the shells.

The artillery fire whizzed past the side of RX-02, and his professional combat skills saved his life at the critical moment.

"Edged?" Just as Xia Bai was secretly rejoicing, a beam of blue light came towards him from the sea in the distance.

"!"

There was no way to avoid it. Looking at the beams getting closer and closer, Xia Bai understood. The first bombardment was just a tentative attack to block his path of movement. The real killer move was the beam behind it.

A breaker... huh? It seems that my short journey through time has come to an end. Sorry, sons of Prometheus, I, as a senior, have to leave first.

Knowing that he would not survive if hit by this beam of light, he was ready to face death.

At this time, a film with golden light wrapped up the RX-02 to form a translucent sphere. The blue light beam hit the sphere directly, causing ripples on the film. Finally, the light beam disappeared without a trace like a stone sinking into the sea.

Just as Xia Bai was wondering what was going on, an anxious voice came into his ears.

"Xia Bai, come down quickly. You'll be too conspicuous in the sky."

"Is it scary?" Hearing the familiar voice, Xia Bai immediately descended from the air, landed steadily on the ground, and looked around.

As expected, they were formidable and glorious. At this moment, they were dressed the same as before, with a deck runway like smooth silk behind them. The elegance of their gestures when they met had not changed, but they revealed a solemn and murderous meaning, like Valkyries on the battlefield.

Seeing that Xia Bai had landed, Kewei trotted towards the mecha with his legs wrapped in white silk.

"It was so dangerous just now. Fortunately, Sister Guanghui was here." With his hands on his hips, he said to Xia Bai in a fearful manner, facing RX-02.

"Luckily I made it in time." Patting his chest with some fear, Guanghui said to RX-02: "Gui'an, Xia Bai, we meet again."

No matter what the situation, she is calm and composed. Is this the Royal Navy's ship girl? Sure enough, I still have a lot to learn. Reflecting on herself in this way, Xia Bai anxiously turned on the communicator.

"There are elite Siren battleships on the other side - Breaker, Glorious, and Terrible. Do you have a way to sink it?"

"If there were only the Gamebreaker, it would not be our opponent under the air strikes of Sister Guanghui and me. However..." After a pause, Kewei said the rest of the words in a depressed tone, "It's not just the Gamebreaker. The aircraft carriers fighting against us should be two elite Siren Chess Players."

"Although I don't want to admit it, Sister Guanghui and I are indeed suppressed by the chess player. We can't provide much help in the air."

"Then can we ask for help? What about support from the nearby tutelary fort?"

"The nearest tutelage probably hasn't figured out the situation here yet. I've called for support through our internal royal communication method... The earliest the vanguard fleet can arrive is at dawn."

After answering Xia Bai's question, Guanghui said in a brisk tone: "However, the good news is that we are still here, otherwise the city would have fallen by now, and the Siren would have landed in a swagger."

Well, that's good news, at least they're still here.

The fastest support from the ship girls would have to wait until dawn, and he had been trying to contact the Sons of Prometheus through mecha communications from the very beginning, but there was no reply.

If you think about it carefully, who would deploy a mecha and walk around so late at night?

If I can go back this time, I will rob enough money to give every son of Prometheus a mobile phone, no matter what bullshit military secrets it is.

"So our current situation is two aircraft carriers and a Son of Prometheus against a Game Breaker, two Chess Players and a Siren escort fleet? And then hold on until dawn?" Xia Bai said somewhat pessimistically. He was very pessimistic about the current situation.

"Bang-bang-bang"

It seemed that the garrison troops in this city had begun to fight back, although their attacks had no effect other than producing smoke caused by the explosion even if they hit the Siren.

However, knowing that their efforts were in vain, the soldiers of this city still fought back bravely to protect their city.

"Maybe Xia Bai, you still need to add the coastal defense guns." After saying that, Kewei covered his mouth and laughed secretly, then looked up and down at RX-02, "So, Xia Bai, do you want to 'retreat'? Or..."

He really didn't expect that Kewei also had the potential to tell jokes, but with this interruption, the sense of urgency in his heart dissipated.

"Retreat? There's no need for that. This word was not an option for me in the first place." Ever since the failure of the battle in the Faru Sea, Xia Bai had made up his mind that he would no longer use retreat as a cover for escape.

The mecha named RX-02 seemed to sense its master's emotions, its eyes flashed emerald green light wildly, and its wing-shaped thrusters began to emit blue light.

In the burning city, blue and white mechas stood tall on the ground.

Chapter 9 Xia Bai, what are you doing!

3:00AM

On the sea surface that should have been calm, a huge mecha was fighting an inhuman "monster". Facing the attack of the "monster", the mecha ran around left and right, looking embarrassed. There were huge splashes of water everywhere from the artillery fire and waves splashed by the mecha's dodging actions.

After barely dodging the Breaker's beam attack, Xia Bai roared: "You're the only one who knows how to shoot lasers, right?" Then the two pairs of gun barrels on the mecha's waist slid down and stood up. The light gathered at the gun barrels and sprayed out green beams in the direction of the Breaker.

Two beams of light moved along the sea surface, whistling and piercing through the light patrol Siren in front of the Breaker, hitting it accurately.

But the Breaker was unharmed, without even a trace left. This contrast even made people feel that the beam of light just now was an illusion.

As if mocking Xia Bai's weakness, the Breaker showed a contemptuous and cruel smile. The eight gun barrels shaped like spider legs behind him began to gather energy and emit blue beams.

"Fuck!" Seeing this situation, Xia Bai cursed angrily and immediately dodged. The powerful beam of light passed by him. He could even feel the powerful energy contained in the beam inside the mecha.

Xia Bai was indeed beaten to a rage, and he felt too aggrieved. Facing the Breaker, he could only be forced to take the beating, and had no means of fighting back.

A Siren light cruiser took advantage of Xia Bai's hiding opportunity and poured fire at him.

He unfolded his right arm shield to resist the Siren light cruiser's bombardment. Then he retracted the barrel of the waist gun, ignited the thruster at maximum power, and rushed towards the Siren light cruiser.

It came too fast, and there was no way to think. The light cruiser Siren was stunned. She could only watch the RX-02 approach and then smash her to pieces with its huge mechanical fist.

"If I can't deal with the Breaker, I can't deal with a small light cruiser like you, right?" As if to vent his anger, Xia Bai gave up the long-range weapon and searched for the escort Siren on the sea. Once he found one, he would use maximum power to propel it in front of it and smash it to pieces.

The sea was filled with smoke and the broken fragments of Sirens. A huge RX-02 grabbed a destroyer Siren and crushed it. Under the moonlight, it looked like a devil from hell.

Seeing Xia Bai's crazy actions, the Sirens seemed to be frightened and gradually began to move closer to the Breaker and shrink their formation.

Although its output against heavy armor is limited, the Son of Prometheus has overwhelming power against light armor Sirens, coupled with its super high mobility, its destroying speed is unmatched even by the Ship Girls.

"Come on! Keep coming!" Venting out his frustration, Xia Bai shouted, "Don't run away, you cowards."

The Sirens ignored Xia Bai's provocation and continued to move closer to the Breaker.

Seeing this situation, Xia Bai calmed down and stopped pursuing. He was just easily carried away in battle, not stupid. If he went further, he would face the close-range bombardment of the Breaker, and he was not sure he could avoid it.

At this time, a sound was heard from the sky.

"Uu——"

"This is it!" There was no time to react before the bomb falling from the sky landed accurately on the RX-02.

"boom"

RX-02 was hit, its left leg and left shoulder were blown off, and it lost its balance and fell on the sea. In the huge shock, Xia Bai in RX-02 crashed into the inner wall of the mecha.

Blood flowed down his forehead. At the same time, Xia Bai's left leg and left shoulder produced a strong pain which was transmitted to Xia Bai's brain through nerves.

As long as the Son of Prometheus mecha is damaged, the pain in the corresponding position will be accurately transferred to themselves.

The sudden severe pain made Xia Bai realize that his left leg had been blown up and his left shoulder was shattered. He pursed his lips, and the strong smell of rust entered his mouth, making him sober.

The damage to the mecha was nothing, it would be restored after repairing it. However, the bombing by air raid revealed a shocking information.

——The terrible and the glorious have already lost.

Xia Bai escorted the two of them to engage in close combat on the sea, holding back the Breaker and the other Sirens, while Glory and Awesome focused on fighting the two Chess Masters. This was a battle plan that the three of them came up with temporarily, with only one purpose, to delay the time until dawn.

As long as one of them loses, the other will be caught in a pincer attack.

If we assume the worst possible scenario, the Awesome and the Glory should have been defeated, or even...

"Sunk...?" Xia Bai thought to herself as she lifted the mecha from the water with great effort. The memories of the two of them flashed through her mind like photos shot by an old camera.

Playful and cute, she likes rock and roll, gentle and holy, and tolerant of everything. Although they only met for a short time, they left a deep impression on Xia Bai.

His request, his awesome promise, would change everything, everything, for the son of Prometheus after today.
