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

"Hello, Lord? Xia Bai has been kidnapped. Are you coming?"

"Yes, it was Akagi and Kaga who did it. You still owe me an apology..."

"We are one family in Azur Lane. How can you say that you can't interfere, Your Majesty?"

"Okay, I'll send you the directions."

Since the monarch has agreed to come, Akagi is nothing to be afraid of. But it is still not enough. More people are needed to let Akagi know that some things cannot be touched.

So, Shokaku contacted Taiho, who was also a neutral party. The armored aircraft carrier still had a lot of say in the Sakura Empire.

After a brief busy tone, the call was connected.

"Dafeng, are you... why are the sounds there so strange?"

"Hmm...Dafeng, Dafeng is not feeling well right now."

Listening to the other party's intense breathing, Shokaku frowned, thinking that Taiho, the mentally ill ship girl, was having another attack.

"Well, since you're not feeling well, I have nothing to say. Take care of yourself."

After saying this quickly, Shokaku hung up the phone. She was in no mood to listen to how Daiho was thinking about love. The people she had now were almost enough, one more or one less didn't matter.

After all the ship girls arrived one after another, Shokaku waved his sleeves and led the black crowd towards Akagi's residence.

Chapter 108: Eighteen Princes Fight Against Chi

Mu Jiao picked up the tea cake and poured boiled old water on it to make the tea more fragrant. Such careful and quiet Kaga made Akagi frown.

"This is unlike you. When will Kaga be able to calm down and make tea?"

The corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and her bright blue eyes were calm. Under the morning light, Kaga's pretty face looked even more beautiful.

"I already know how to do these things, but no one has ever made me willing to do them before..."

Kaga opened his cherry lips and responded to his sister's doubts indifferently, still slowly making tea in his hands.

"Even my sister has never drunk the tea you made. It seems that Kaga is determined to leave with that man."

"Sister, here..." Kaga handed over the freshly brewed tea with both hands, sat on the stone pier and squinted his eyes, enjoying the sun bath, and replied, "It is the instinct of the Sakura Empire to follow the strong... If sister saw the commander fighting, she would understand Kaga's choice."

Hearing this, Akagi's face looked as uncomfortable as if she had eaten a fly. She couldn't accept that Kaga, who had always obeyed her, was willing to follow Xia Bai at all costs.

Standing up from the rocking chair, Akagi stared at the other person with his fiery red eyes and said seriously: "Have you thought it through? There is no turning back after the mental connection. We, the Sakura Empire, will not accept traitors again."

Taking a sip of the tea he brewed, thinking that his cooking skills had not regressed, Kaga put down the teacup and said, "I've decided. I won't regret it... Sister, are you really going to stay in Sakura City? Don't you want to consider it?"

"I have an obligation to revitalize the Sakura Empire. Commander, it's too early for me." After listening to Kaga's persuasion, Akagi waved his hand and lay back on the rocking bed.

If Nagato continues to lead Sakura Empire, the outcome of its disintegration is foreseeable. She loves Sakura Empire so deeply that she will not leave easily.

Although she had never met Xia Bai, Akagi had seen his photo. She did not think that he was her destined man. She could feel his silliness even through the screen, which was very different from the commander she had imagined.

I don’t know what kind of magic power Xia Bai has. We agreed to teach Kaga a lesson after he arrives in Sakura Empire, but Kaga rebelled in just these few days.

Akagi sighed and closed his eyes. He didn't want to see Kaga anymore and lay on his side to bask in the sun. Kaga didn't try to persuade him any more. He just sipped his tea, not knowing what he was thinking.

The courtyard fell into an eerie silence, leaving only the crisp sound of water being refilled hitting the stone.

‘Dong dong dong——’

The violent knocking on the door broke the silence. Akagi opened his eyes in dissatisfaction. He was angry and wanted to vent it, so he stood up to see who dared to knock on the door so rudely.

"Akagi-senpai, are you there? Stop pretending to be a dead fox. If you have the guts to snatch a man, then open the door!"

This voice made her immediately understand the other person's identity, it was Shokaku.

Akagi lifted up his sleeves with a ferocious look on his face. He thought, "You are so presumptuous now that you have a commander. You are so bold that you even dare to bang the door. Let's see if I will give you a beating today. You dare to come to the First Carrier to provoke the Fifth Carrier."

Akagi walked quickly to the door angrily and opened it while thinking about how to teach Shokaku to understand the rules of respect and inferiority.

I saw Shokaku standing in front of the gate angrily, with people standing behind him. When they found the door was open, they all drew their swords and pointed them at him.

The Sakura Empire has suffered from Akagi for a long time.

Looking at the huge crowd in front of her, no matter how arrogant Akagi was, she was stunned. There were five carrier battleships, two naval battleships, and even the royal monarch. She also saw the flagship Kongo of the Seventh Fleet and its three sisters.

What is this? The eighteen princes are going to fight against Chi? Or is it that the neutral faction secretly joined forces with that little fox of Nagato and is here to get rid of him today?

That’s not right. How come even Guinu is here? Aren’t they one of the rebels?

Being deserted by her friends and relatives, Akagi's heart is filled with loneliness and betrayal, but she will not surrender. As the leader of the rebel faction, she will fight to the end and die with dignity.

With a wave of his hand, Akagi showed a crazy smile on his face and laughed loudly: "How long have you been plotting this, and how much benefit did the little fox give you?"

Taking a step forward, the gentleness on Shokaku's face was gone, and he said sternly, "Stop talking nonsense. We have people all around here. You can't escape today, Akagi-senpai."

Looking around, he found that he really couldn't escape. Akagi was not afraid. He pinched the shikigami with his slender white fingers and ignited a red fox fire.

"I didn't expect that the monarch of the royal family could come. You think too highly of me...Kinu, have you also defected to the little fox?" Akagi hated traitors the most in her life. If a fight breaks out, she will teach Kinu a lesson first.

Kinu had an embarrassed look on his face and was about to explain something when he was interrupted by Shokaku.

"Don't act crazy or stupid, hand over the commander quickly, and we will give you a quick death." The silver-white sword was unsheathed, looking even sharper under the sunlight.

"If you want to fight, fight. If you want to kill, kill. Why are you looking for so many excuses? Where your commander is has nothing to do with me."

Shokaku laughed in anger. Seeing that the other party still refused to admit it, he stuck his sword into the ground and said loudly: "At this point, Akagi-senpai, you still dare to quibble."

"Well, Shokaku is not an unreasonable person. Call Kaga out so we can confront him face to face."

At this time, Kaga happened to hear the noise outside and came out of the courtyard with a cup of tea. Seeing the tense scene, he said calmly, "Confrontation? Confrontation of what?"

"Hmph, let me ask you, was the commander kidnapped by Akagi? He didn't return to his room last night." Seeing Kaga coming out, Shokaku didn't rush to ask him in detail. She wanted Akagi to die with a clear conscience.

After hearing what Shokaku said, Kaga's eyes flashed with some understanding, and he slowly walked to Shokaku's team, took out the shikigami and said to Akagi: "Sister, you are in trouble, quickly hand over the commander."

In Sakura Empire, only Akagi could do something like kidnapping. She knew that her sister would be attracted to Xia Bai. Although she said no, her body still acted obediently. Now she was hiding it from her and wanted to have her all to herself.

With the lightning-fast betrayal of her right-hand man Kaga, Akagi's grief was beyond words. She put down the shikigami and raised her hands.

She finally understood that Shokaku really came to find her because of Xia Bai's disappearance, but she really didn't know where Xia Bai was, so why did he only suspect her, Akagi?

This must be discrimination!

"I wasn't the one who kidnapped Xia Bai. I'm applying for self-defense."

Seeing that Akagi's attitude was not so intense, Shokaku nodded and agreed to Akagi's self-defense. She wanted to see what the red fox could argue.

"Yesterday I stayed in the house with Kaga the whole time. She can testify for me, and I have no idea about Xia Bai..."

"But sister, you disappeared for ten minutes yesterday for no apparent reason. That was enough time for you to knock the commander out and kidnap him."

The charming eyes glared at Kaga fiercely, and Akagi wanted to cry but had no tears. Not only did he betray her, but he also dismantled her own luggage. He really thought he was a witness.

Why can't you trust me?

Chapter 109 This is such a surprise

"I disappeared for ten minutes to go..."

"That's it. If you don't believe me, you can come in and search. I really didn't kidnap Xia Bai."

"Believe me, you have to believe me."

After speaking with tears in her eyes, Akagi tried to use her sincere eyes to make everyone present believe her, but every ship girl who looked at her avoided her gaze, even Kaga.

All I can say is that everyone present knew Akagi too well. It takes some courage to expect people to believe in her when her reputation is so bad.

After hearing Akagi's defense, Noshiro pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go in and search first. If we really didn't see the commander, we can clear Akagi's name."

She always felt that something was wrong. If it was really Akagi who kidnapped her master, she would definitely not defend herself, but would instead wag her tail complacently.

Then he mocked Shokaku for being a loser who couldn't even keep up with his own commander.

For Akagi, what she did was done and she would not deny it. That's her personality. Now, seeing her look of being wrongly accused and aggrieved really makes Noshiro feel that something is fishy.

As expected, after the small ship girls from the second water battle went in to search, they did not find any trace of Xia Bai, which made Noshiro more convinced that it was not Akagi who did it, but someone else.

After hearing the destroyers' answers, Akagi broke free from Zuikaku's restraints and walked towards Shokaku step by step with a smile on his face.

"You were very capable just now, weren't you? What do you have to say now, Shokaku? Don't think you can get away with it just by apologizing."

Seeing that the positions had been reversed and Akagi's momentum was rising, Shokaku replied unwillingly: "Why are you so arrogant? The suspicion has not been cleared yet. Maybe you hid the commander somewhere else..."

Her words lacked confidence and became smaller and smaller. She found that her guess was wrong again. Thinking back to the time when she rescued Kaga, Shokaku couldn't help but doubt if she could really be a secretary ship?

"I won't argue with you anymore. After we find Xia Bai, you and I will just have an exercise and we'll forget about it." Akagi was still very sensible. He didn't cause trouble for Shokaku directly, but chose to postpone the matter.

Afterwards, she forcibly took over the command and issued orders to the ship girls present.

"Now listen to me. Some of you go to his house to see if there are any clues, and the other part goes to notify other people and ask them if they have seen the man."

"Remember to go find Xuefeng. Our lucky ship should have found something. And Akashi, ask her to use the communication ring to locate it..."

Xia Bai is missing and she disappeared on the territory of Sakura Empire. This is not a trivial matter. It is a serious diplomatic incident and no ship girl can bear this responsibility.

God knows whether the royal family and the Son of Prometheus guys will come to them. Queen Elizabeth is not an easy person to talk to.

Hearing this, Shokaku patted his chest guiltily and handed over the task of finding Xia Bai to Akagi. She was indeed unwilling, but what could she do? The other party's ability was stronger than hers, and he handled everything in an orderly manner.

Watching the other ship girls leave, Shokaku asked hesitantly: "Akagi-senpai, are you really not interested in the commander?" She was worried that if Akagi established a mental link with Xia Bai, she would no longer have the chance to be a secretary ship.

"Not interested. You and Kaga are the only ones who treat him as a treasure." Shaking his head in disgust, Akagi really thought Shokaku was out of his mind.

Ever since finding the commander, he has lost his former calmness and alertness, and his brain has been overwhelmed by jealousy. Akagi doesn't want to become like this.

She was just a little hesitant at first, but after seeing Shokaku's expression, she made up her mind that even if it was Zhan Chen who jumped off the castle tower, he would not be interested in Xia Bai.

I, Akagi, am going to be the successor of the fourth-generation flagship of the Sakura Empire. How can I be bound by love? Feelings are useless. Only by giving them up can I become stronger.

There was no way to refute Akagi's disdain for Xia Bai. Shokaku felt that the other party's attitude was pretty good. At least he lost an invincible opponent.

So the two of them waited for news in the courtyard and fell into silence.

After a while, Shigure rushed in and shouted, "Sister Xianghe, there is news!"

Shi Yu was a little out of breath after jogging all the way here. She didn't say much and pushed Xuefeng behind her in front of the two of them.

"Xuefeng said she saw Xia Bai yesterday."

After hearing Shigure's words, Shokaku and Akagi turned their gaze to the proud Yukikaze. At this time, the lucky ship was hugging her chest and raising her neck high.

"Huh~ As expected, at a time like this, the problem can be solved with the help of the lucky Lord Yukikaze..."

As she spoke proudly, Xuefeng quietly opened one eye, and after noticing that Shokaku and Akagi had very ugly expressions, she didn't dare to keep it a secret any longer, and quickly said, "Sir Xuefeng saw a man carrying Taihou back to his room yesterday... Don't look at Xuefeng like that... It's scary."

After exchanging a glance with Akagi, Shokaku patted Yukikaze's head tenderly and said softly, "Thank you Yukikaze for the news. You are worthy of being our Sakura Empire's lucky star~"

Yukikaze is indeed very lucky. Whether she is a historical battleship or a ship girl of the Sakura Empire, her luck can always solve many difficulties. This kind of good luck is already in the realm of metaphysics.

Finding someone was just a small matter for her. Even if she didn't see him, Xuefeng could lead them to Xia Bai's location based on her intuition.

Being gently stroked on the ears, Xuefeng couldn't help but narrow her eyes. She looked up and was about to ask Shokaku for a reward, but found that the two people who were there just now were gone.

After finding out that it was Shi Yu who was touching his ear, he started playing with the other person with an angry look on his face.

After using the communication ring to gather people, a group of people came to the secluded courtyard of Dafeng in a mighty manner.

Shokaku really didn't care too much about the existence of this nympho Daiho. Thinking back to the intense breathing when she contacted her to find trouble with Akagi, she felt like she was going crazy.

Minotaur in front of you, very good, Taiho, you are very good. Thinking this in his heart, Shokaku quickly stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Akagi watched calmly from the side, but was also very angry in his heart. It was not the anger that came from being wronged, but the anger that Taihou's actions had brought shame to the Sakura Empire.

Imprisonment, kidnapping... There is nothing that Dafeng can't do, except Akagi can't think of it. That guy's brain has always been a little bit abnormal.

There was also a bit more pity in his eyes for Shokaku. Since he was caught by Taihou, Xia Bai must have been beaten to death by now. How pitiful.

After not getting a response for a long time, Shokaku drew out his sword angrily, ready to chop the door open and rush in to teach Taihou a lesson.

Suddenly, the air around them began to tremble, and accompanied by a sharp, piercing sound, the Destiny Wolf fell from the sky, smashed in front of the ship girls, and brought up thick dust.

"cough cough..."

Before they could react, the cockpit slowly opened and Xia Bai, with blood all over his face and his upper body naked, came out, holding the unconscious Dafeng in one hand and a human head in the other.

"They're all here, so I don't have to explain them slowly." Saying this, Xia Bai threw the head on Kaga.

After catching it in a hurry, Kaga stared at the head in front of her with some surprise. She always felt that this thing looked familiar.

"Are you surprised or not? Purification dear, I'm here to see you again, Kaga."

"..."

Chapter 110: Subverting Imagination...Before the Incident

After hearing what the Purifier said, Kaga finally reacted. He slightly exerted force on the hand holding the head and said in a cold voice: "So it's you... It just so happens that there is a debt that has not been settled yet."
