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

So, he grabbed Sternkus's cold, soft little hand and helped her up.

"Let's not talk about whether it's ridiculous or not. If you have the chance to drive this mecha, would you be interested, Stellenkus?"

"Not practical... But still, I'm interested."

Before Xia Bai could say anything, the mechanical claw in Sternkus's hand emerged, and he said with a little sadness in his eyes: "I have connected to the [host]... Since Qiangong has been expelled... I will also return."

After waking up, Sternkus discovered that Qian Gong's continuous mental attacks had disappeared, and she immediately concluded that Xia Bai had defeated Qian Gong. She had stayed in this world for too long, and she had to quickly return to the arbitration agency to upload the combat data.

"Why don't you think about it again? I think Gulanxiu is much better than your arbitration agency." Seeing that Stelchencus wanted to leave, Xia Bai persuaded him anxiously.

The super robot is right in front of us, we can't let it get away.

"If...you have a chance...try it."

"Lord Zero asked me to tell you... Even though you fought off Humility together with us... our hostile stance remains unchanged."

"Goodbye."

Her body flashed with strange light, and after leaving a few words, Sternkus disappeared in the cockpit. She didn't want to leave in such a hurry, but Observer Zero kept urging her, so she had to leave this world quickly.

"I've said it before, this is the future that has been determined... No matter what you do, Commander, as long as Qiangong is defeated, Steliancus will not establish a spiritual connection with you."

The dejected Xia Bai became even sadder after hearing Shinano's words. The opportunity to be invincible was right in front of him, but he could only watch it slip away.

I only regret that I didn't hold on to Steliancus' thighs and return with her. Who would want to drive a piece of junk like the Gundam when they can drive a Granshu?

"Ugh..."

Sighing helplessly, Xia Bai turned back to the driver's seat. As Sternkus left, the mirror sea was slowly dissipating.

The damaged battlefield was slowly replaced by the azure blue sea, the sky became extremely clear, and all traces of the battle with Qian Gong disappeared.

The smoke of the battlefield and the solemn atmosphere were replaced by seabirds and a peaceful environment. If it were not for personal experience, who would have thought that the battle that determined the survival of the world had just passed.

"Commander, why don't you say anything? Even though Shokaku doesn't know what a Granshu is, we have already won, so we should be happy."

Looking at the depressed Xia Bai, Xianghe snuggled into his arms again and comforted him softly.

"Yeah...we already won."

After hearing Xianghe's gentle words, Xia Bai leaned back in his chair and relaxed. This seemed to be the only time in his recent battles that he was not injured or unconscious. Thinking about it this way, he felt a little uncomfortable.

The Supreme and Humble was the most powerful enemy he had ever faced. Even though he tried his best, he was unable to defeat him. The entire battle seemed more like a one-sided prank.

The ending was also very anticlimactic. Qian Gong was expelled from this world just as he started to use his third ability. The main force was Strychnine, and the brass pillars were burned clean by Akagi and Kaga. Apart from being chased around, it seemed as if he had done nothing.

Fought, but not completely fought, this is how Xia Bai feels now.

"Akagi, are you still there? We won. If you hadn't lost consciousness on Seven Dwarfs King, you would have notified the others to return."

"I will explain everything to you slowly when we get back. It wouldn't be too much to throw a party to celebrate saving the world."

"Akagi?"

After shouting a few words through the loudspeaker, Xia Bai prepared to open the cockpit. He wanted to go to the shoulder of Innocence and Holiness to see if the other party had fallen into the water. After all, he just saw that the ship girls on the fighter jets were affected by the Seven Dwarfs.

If Akagi and Kaga really fell into the water, it would probably be a bit tricky. If they fell from such a height, even the ship girls would not be unscathed. If we quickly salvage them from the sea, maybe they can still be saved.

"Stop shouting... I'm not dead yet. You are so stupid to use such a large-scale attack that doesn't distinguish between friend and foe."

Akagi's weak voice made Xia Bai stop what he was doing. He scratched his head in embarrassment, "Haha, I told you I'm not familiar with the new weapons. I'm glad you're okay. I'm glad you're okay."

"Tsk, what a perfunctory man... I've already given the order to notify the fleet to return. Just fly back slowly. Kaga and I will stay here to bask in the sun."

Because the impulse just now caused the fox hair on Akagi's tail to explode, and it has not subsided yet. Naturally, she would not let Xia Bai see such an embarrassing appearance.

"Foxes are trouble. Wouldn't it be better to return to the island early to rest and bask in the sun..." Muttering softly, Xia Bai slowly drove the Innocence and Holiness back to Chongying Island.

The ship girls on the water also accompanied each other and returned leisurely, temporarily leaving all the confusion and noise behind. When they saw such an enemy, they had to digest the impact brought by the opponent.

On the way back, the monarch put on his beret again, looked at the innocence and holiness in the sky, a hint of envy flashed in his eyes, and his fists clenched slightly.

Her vision is different from that of other ship girls. This is the difference brought about by her own strength. They only know that Qiangong is very strong, but they cannot feel how strong she is exactly.

The monarch can feel the opponent's unfathomable strength, towering stature, and mysterious abilities. It only takes a thought to destroy the world.

Although she didn't know why Qian Gong retreated after being hit by the pulse, the lingering sense of pressure still remained in her heart.

"...weak."

The monarch retracted his gaze and held the brim of his hat tightly to prevent others from seeing his expression at this moment, hating his own powerlessness.

Their proud firepower and strong and hard armor were like a joke under the humility of floating weapons. If the enemy had not regarded the ship girls as ants, they would have been wiped out as soon as they entered the battlefield.

He was too lazy to even take the initiative to attack, and his humble attitude broke the monarch's long-standing self-esteem.

Especially when Akagi and Kaga completely destroyed the Bronze Pillar, the monarch felt deeply her own uselessness, and she urgently needed a way to become stronger.

Maybe it would be a good idea to find a commander.

Chapter 127 It smells so good!

Heavy Sakura Island.

Inside Xia Bai's mansion.

Looking at the little ship girls running around excitedly, Xia Bai took a sip of the juice in his hand and said with emotion: "I really envy these little guys. They don't have to think too much. They are very happy just by hearing that there is a party."

"So, Commander, do you want a carefree, free life, or a life of burden, anxiety and busyness?"

Hearing these gentle words, Xia Bai smiled, realizing that Shokaku had arrived. He raised his head and drank the juice in one gulp and replied, "The former, but sometimes we have no choice. When facing danger, someone has to stand up."

"I'm still a long way from a carefree life." Putting down the cup, Xia Bai shook his head slightly and continued, "Forget it, let's not talk about these troubles... Xianghe, who is next to you? Can you introduce it to me?"

Blinking his eyes playfully, Shokaku teased, "It won't be interesting if you tell it out loud. Commander, take a guess. Here's a hint. It has something to do with Noshiro."

Hearing this, the black-haired ship girl turned around in front of Xia Bai with a smile on her face, and looked into Xia Bai's bright eyes.

The only person who should be related to his stupid apprentice should be that person. Touching his chin and thinking for a while, Xia Bai quickly guessed the other party's identity.

"Agano, right? Noshiro has often mentioned you to me. Seeing is believing."

That’s right, the black-haired girl in front of him was none other than Agano, who was a close friend of Xia Baiyin and the origin of his becoming Noshiro’s master.

The smile on her face grew wider, like a blooming pansy. Agano nodded and said softly, "I am the eldest sister of the Agano class. I am sorry to have troubled you, Master Xiabai. Please forgive me."

"No, that child is very well-behaved and learns things very quickly. He is very worry-free." Xia Bai replied politely, waving his hand.

Agano's eyes flashed with joy when his sister was praised by the teacher, and he said modestly: "Noshiro is still very young, and I hope Master Xiabai can give me more guidance in the days to come. To be honest, that child..."

This scene feels like a parent-teacher meeting. I wonder what the child would think if he saw it.

Seeing Agano and Xia Bai talking happily about Noshiro's educational methods, Shokaku filled their drinks with a sweet smile and sat quietly beside Xia Bai without saying a word. She really looked like a virtuous and sensible wife.

After a while, there was a commotion at the door. Kaga and Akagi came together and went straight to Xia Bai as soon as they entered the room.

Seeing the two foxes, Agano stood up and bowed slightly to Xia Bai: "It seems that the First Air Force has something important to ask Xia Bai, so I won't bother you. I will talk to you about the interesting things in Noshiro when I have the chance."

After saying that, Agano left before the fox arrived. Her steps were quite hurried, and it seemed that she was not very interested in Akagi and Kaga.

Akagi was not polite. Seeing Agano leave on her own accord, he sat in her seat and said with an unpleasant expression, "Why hold a party in your own home? It's not like we don't have a place to hold a party in the Sakura Empire."

"It's really troublesome to notify other people to come."

Hearing Akagi's complaints, Xia Bai explained somewhat embarrassedly: "I don't want to do this either, but Jiang Feng said that only Nagato can use the banquet venue, and it just so happens that the place I live is quite big, so we held the banquet here."

"Jiang Feng is nothing! She is just the little fox's personal bodyguard. Can she stop you if you want to enter the castle tower for a banquet?"

"You don't know what's good for you. Kaga, go and capture her. I want to see if she dares to object to our first fleet marching into the castle tower."

Hearing this, Kaga stood up immediately. She also felt that Jiang Feng was going too far. The strong must be treated specially. We fought hard outside but couldn't even find a banquet venue when we came back. She was courting death.

"Forget it, forget it. Is it necessary to make a fuss over such a small matter?" Xia Bai hurriedly stopped Kaga and wondered why Akagi's reaction was so intense. He must be angry.

"It's a small matter? I've never heard of a camp that couldn't even hold a celebration party after returning from an attack." Akagi leaned forward, stared at Xia Bai fiercely and said, "You have too good a temper. In the Sakura Empire, a good temper is equivalent to weakness."

"If you don't want the little fox to come back and ride on your head, you have to try to change."

After saying that, Akagi wanted to pick up the cup beside him and take a sip, but then he realized that it was the cup Agano had used, and he stared at Shokaku again.

The meaning is very clear, where is my water cup?

As for Shokaku, he pretended not to see Akagi's gaze, put on a fake smile and stared blankly ahead.

Smacking his lips, Akagi decided not to bother with Shokaku, the little bitch, now. There would be plenty of opportunities to make her cry in the future.

Having said this, Xia Bai also understood what Chicheng meant. She was reminding himself not to give in blindly and to be firm in handling matters.

It seems that Akagi is not as bad as Shokaku said. Although he is a bit arrogant and has a bad temper, he is still a good person. Why do I have to remind myself to be careful of Akagi all the time?

"I understand. I will try to change."

Qian Gong's appearance made Xia Bai change many of his decisions. Originally, he wanted to leave Sakura Empire after getting the power left for him by Shinano, but now he wants to recruit more ship girls to join his own small group.

When there are too many people, there will definitely be quarrels. It is definitely not okay to always give in and try to smooth things over. He needs to be tough so that he can better lead his fleet.

Seeing that Xia Bai accepted his suggestion, Chicheng nodded slightly, thinking that this boy is teachable.

A bright and charming smile appeared on her face, just like a brilliant poppy flower that makes people indulge in it. She changed the subject and said softly: "It's enough to understand. I will teach you more slowly in the future."

"Glorious First Fleet Akagi, I serve you... From today on you are my commander."

A lot of the foreshadowing in the beginning is just nonsense. Akagi's real purpose is to leave a good impression on Xia Bai and then become his ship girl.

After meeting Qian Gong, she realized that there was no point in fighting for power in a small place, so the flagship of the Sakura Empire should be left to Nagato.

It just so happened that the more she looked at Xia Bai, the more she found him pleasing to the eye. Perhaps this is how the man of destiny should be, young and powerful, without the excitement of love at first sight, and only needs a little training to become the commander who best suits her.

After thinking for a while, Xia Bai half-jokingly said, "Can I refuse in a 'hard' way?"

"Not allowed, my commander."

Noticing that Akagi's expression was somewhat dangerous, Xia Bai swallowed and decided on how to be "tough". He decided to wait for the other party to teach him, as he really couldn't learn it himself.

With the addition of Akagi, his fleet now has nine ship girls. If Perseus is included, there will be ten. This is a mixed blessing.

With the 02st and th Carriers plus the Kagome and Taiho, their air force will be extremely powerful in the future. Not to mention that there is still a gray-haired fox that has not been rescued. At least RX- doesn't have to specifically shoot down planes.

But so far no battleship sister has shown any intention of joining his fleet...which is quite sad.

Chapter 128 Why Are You Still Here?

Seeing that Akagi denied what he said at noon in the evening, Shokaku couldn't help but sneer, "How can you be like this, Akagi-senpai~ Didn't you say you have no interest in my commander?"

"The attitude changes so quickly. Shokaku also wants to have a shiny and thick fox tail like Akagi-senpai."

Shokaku spoke softly, holding up her face and twisting her body as if she deserved a beating. She was sure that Akagi would not take action now.

Akagi, who knew Shokaku well, naturally knew what he was hinting at. Wasn't he just saying that he was a vixen and had a thick skin? Did he think that this would break my defense? What a joke! The thick-skinned one was still to come.

Completely ignoring Shokaku's sarcasm, Akagi slowly approached Xia Bai, staring at Xia Bai with his red eyes painted with seductive eye makeup, and a fascinating curve at the corner of his mouth.

Xia Bai felt a strange feeling when being stared at like this. His heart started beating faster and his mouth became dry.

Although I have seen a lot of ship girls, the Akagi in front of me is particularly charming no matter how I look at her.

Her Yamato Nadeshiko-like tranquil appearance contrasts with her own flamboyant and wild aura. Her slightly exposed cleavage is bottomless, and her slender waist is fascinating.

Her brown shawl hair is shiny and soft, and her black gauze-like Japanese-style clothing makes her look mysterious and elegant. She is somewhat similar to Kaga, but their styles are completely different. One black and one white, one red and one blue are the best interpretations of the two of them.

Seeing Xia Bai's absent-minded expression, Chi Cheng smiled and said, "Are you attracted to me?"

"I don't know whether it is true or not, I am indeed moved...How should I put it, Akagi, you give me a strange feeling."

He is no longer the shy child who would blush when teased by the maid. Now Xia Bai is a seasoned man, and he can express his true feelings without blushing or beating his heart even when being pointed out by Akagi.

"Haha~ Me too." Moving closer again, Akagi and Xia Bai were only three fingers apart, their faces were almost touching, and the faint fragrance of the delicate body filled Xia Bai's nostrils.

"I was wrong before. With this strange feeling, there is no doubt that you, Commander, are the one destined for Akagi."

Her red lips slightly parted, and Akagi's face was covered with a sickly blush.

In the past, she was blinded by power, but when she really put all that aside and observed Xia Bai carefully, she realized that the two of them did not need any adjustment, they were extremely compatible and were destined to be together.

"I don't really believe in the mythical concept of fate. That's an excuse only losers would make."

"My dear, don't you believe this? Then Akagi will say it another way. This is fate. As long as we meet, we will fall in love with each other regardless of everything. We are each other's best partners."

"Then I believe it. After all, the feelings in your heart are not deceiving... I always thought that love at first sight was a ridiculous thing."

Without refutation of Akagi's address to him, Xia Bai stated the fact calmly, perhaps this world is so wonderful that it can make two people's souls so in tune with each other.

Until now, Shokaku couldn't believe that his commander could be taken down so easily. How come they became so familiar with each other after just a few words?

Is this still her shy commander? The beauty trap didn't work so quickly, right? Why are Akagi, Kaga and Shinano treated completely differently when they are all foxes?
