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

"Tell me where you got your communication ring. Although there are no additional restrictions on your life, you should be very clear that you are a Siren, Purifier."

Xia Bai spoke with a solemn expression, not because he did not believe in the Purifier, but because the communication ring was of great importance and no jokes were allowed.

Xia Bai could ignore being monitored by the Siren, but if the communication ring was hacked and false information was spread, that would be no small matter.

The original atmosphere of talking and laughing disappeared, and the air on the redwood bridge became heavy under the blowing of the evening breeze.

Based on the Purifier's answer, he will choose whether to continue letting the other party go or destroy it.

"Hey! Xia Bai, why did your expression suddenly become so scary? I..."

"Don't talk nonsense to me, just tell me where it came from!"

As if frightened by Xia Bai, the Purifier pursed his lips and said aggrievedly: "I asked Feng Xiang to help me ask for Ming Shi, but Ming Shi was not given to me when I asked for it myself."

"I don't know what you did to make Feng Xiang take such good care of you... Forget it, go eat quickly."

After hearing this, the Purifier ran away in a hurry. She didn't know why Xia Bai was angry, but she also understood that if she didn't leave, Xia Bai might hang her up and beat her up in a bad mood, and no one would be able to save her.

Looking at the Purifier's back gradually disappearing, Xia Bai smacked his lips. Feng Xiang couldn't possibly be unaware of the importance of the communication ring, but she still did it.

That only proves that Feng Xiang used himself as a guarantee and chose to trust the Purifier.

So when Xia Bai heard the Purifier mention Fengxiang, he didn't plan to ask about the matter. Anyway, the Purifier had already taken it, and it was too late to take it back now.

I just hope that this Siren with not very smart brain will not let Feng Xiang down.

This kind of unpredictable crisis that is entrusted to someone who is trustworthy and cannot be avoided is actually quite uncomfortable. With a self-deprecating smile, Xia Bai did not stay on the bridge and returned to his residence.

Just as Xia Bai expected, Kaga was lying on the bed with a dazed look in his eyes. He did not leave and seemed to be in doubt about his life on the ship.

"You're back, what happened?"

Seeing Xia Bai opening the door and coming in, Kaga calmed down and asked in a cold voice.

Nodding, Xia Bai walked to the bed and sat down. Kaga was so scared that he hugged his chest and shrank into his body, wrapping himself into a ball with his fox tail.

Seeing this, Xia Bai laughed and said, "What's wrong? Am I that scary?"

It's really funny to see the arrogant Kaga become like this.

Hearing Xia Bai laughing at him, Kaga was ready to compete with him again, but considering his own health, he held back and said calmly: "Don't be complacent... One day you will lose to me."

Although the tone was not bullying, Xia Bai could hear the anger in the words. He couldn't help but burst into laughter and pointed at the white ball and said, "Just you? Even if there are three more, they can't be my match."

The disdain was obvious, and Kaga was so angry that he clenched his hands tightly around his tail. This was too much to bear, but in order to make Xia Bai beg for mercy later, Kaga endured it.

Then he secretly sent a message to someone in Tail Dumpling, and after receiving a reply, he nodded with satisfaction.

After laughing for a while, Xia Bai stopped laughing at Kaga. He pulled her out of the ball and held her in his arms, telling her the result of the discussion with Akashi.

"That's it. We'll have to wait for a while. This is a good time to get some more supplies and equipment boxes."

"Kaga, what do you think?"

After speaking with a dry mouth, Xia Bai stared at Kaga's cold and fair face in his arms. The meaning of his words was self-evident.

Rich woman, I’m hungry, I want food.

Xia Bai really wanted to customize the Ring of Promise by himself. Getting it for free is also a way of relying on oneself. However, it would be a bit too pretentious to hesitate and not ask the Ship Girl for such an important matter.

So he thought about it on the way back and decided to ask.

Seeing that Kaga rolled his eyes at him and stopped talking, Xia Bai was afraid that she didn't understand and added with a flattering face: "Kaga, my wife, give me some supplies."

A complex emotion flashed across her beautiful blue eyes, and Kaga spread out her white and tender hands: "Let me see the ring made by Akashi."

Noticing that Xia Bai hesitated and stopped talking, Kaga continued: "Originally, I was planning to give you the supplies I saved, which is normal."

"But as a couple, I think a vow ring is not excessive."

After thinking about it, Xia Bai probably just wanted to take a look like before, so he took the box out of his pocket.

It just so happened that he had never seen the Ring of Promise made by Akashi, so he opened the box.

Under the light, two dazzling vow rings exude a hazy and charming glow. One is exquisitely designed, with cherry blossom petals engraved on the ring, and a heart-shaped crystal wrapped around it.

The other one looks a bit plain, with the ring being made in the shape of a fox with a square crystal in its mouth, which looks a bit childish.

There was also a small note written by Akashi in the box, which probably said that she spent her own money to buy Xia Bai a double-winged gift package, and asked Xia Bai to remember her favor.

Xia Bai didn’t know whether Mingshi would remember his favor, but he only knew that one of the rings might be lost.

As expected, Kaga didn't hesitate and directly picked up the plainer ring. He said in a cold voice: "Since there are two, this one is mine. Commander, you can handle the rest yourself."

In response, Xia Bai also tacitly assumed that one of them belonged to Kaga. After all, his EQ was not that low that he dared to ask for it back.

He hadn't decided who to give the remaining ring to yet, so he planned to keep it for emergency use. After deciding on the distribution of the rings, Xia Bai said softly, "Don't worry. I know you, Kaga, don't care about red tape, but I think some procedures should still be followed."

After saying that, Xia Bai took the ring of promise back from Kaga, held her fair little hand and put it on her.

Perhaps it was an illusion. The moment he put on the ring, Xia Bai not only found that his heart was filled with something strange, but he also felt that Chongying Island was shaking slightly.

But it was only for a moment, so he didn't take it to heart. He carefully looked at Kaga's expression at that moment, but he was soon discovered by the other party.

"Why are you looking at me like this?"

"Uh, I thought you would look touched and shy."

"The results of it."

"I was very disappointed. You were still very cold as usual, Kaga. I've already put a ring on you, so why not smile?"

"I really can't stand you." After looking carefully at the ring of promise on his ring finger for a while, Kaga showed a gentle and happy smile.

Like a gorgeous blooming plum blossom, it fully blooms after the iceberg melts.

"..."

Charmed by Kaga's smile, Xia Bai didn't speak for a long time.

until.

The familiar sound of machinery echoed throughout the Sakura Island.

Chapter 14 A Little Understanding

"The pledge is complete, the restrictions lifted."

"A terrifying beast that lives in the concrete jungle."

"Believe in the survival of the fittest, the survival of the fittest, confusion, survival... willing to fight, an endless natural spiral."

"The tide of destruction is coming, and the blue flame will burn the night."

"The goddess of the tranquil moon has descended in an instant, and the grace of Takamagahara has spread across the earth once again... Humans, listen to the song."

"This is an eternal oath that will never fade away. We will continue to fight until the end of the world. Its name is—"

『Tsukuyomi』

The sudden mechanical sound made the Sakura Empire's ship girls look up at the sky, trying to figure out what was going on, but the night sky was still calm and peaceful.

Except for a few people, most of the ship girls thought that this was Akashi's new experiment, which just made some noise, so after the noise disappeared, they started to busy themselves with their own things.

When Xia Bai was halfway through the voice, he already understood what was going on. It seemed that the changes would not only occur after the spiritual link was established, but would also occur autonomously after putting on the ring.

But there was no mention of the synchronization rate, which made Xia Bai a little confused, so he prepared to contact Akashi to ask what the current situation of RX-02 was.

But as soon as he opened the communication circle, a video request came immediately. He clicked to accept, and a light screen was projected, along with Akashi's anxious shouting.

"Oh no, meow, Xia Bai, your RX-02 just deformed and destroyed Akashi's hangar!"

Looking at Minghui's dusty face waving his long sleeves like the end of the world, Xia Bai said softly: "Kaga just put on the Ring of Oath. The changes in RX-02 should be related to this action."

"Will there be such changes after wearing the Ring of Oath? Meow, it's different from what you said before, Xia Bai... This is important information worth recording."

After hearing what Xia Bai said, Mingshi was not so anxious anymore. He thought that as long as there was no problem with the mecha, it would be good. He then took out his mini computer and started writing something on it.

Seeing that Akashi quickly entered the working state, Xia Bai asked: "Do you need me to come over? The hangar is broken and I think we need help."

"No need, Akashi will be able to do it himself in a while... The changes have disappeared, but Akashi recorded the process and sent it to you. Remember to accept it, meow."

Without even raising his head, Mingshi hung up the video call, catching Xia Bai off guard. He had wanted to talk about compensation or something.

After a while, the video recorded by Akashi came over. After Xia Bai accepted it, he turned around and said to Kaga: "You heard it all. Anyway, Kaga, you have always been curious about what your mecha looks like. Why don't we take a look at it together now?"

Hearing this, Kaga nodded. Establishing the mental link today was already a pleasant surprise, and then he reached home base and got the Ring of Oath. Now he will soon be able to see the mecha he has been dreaming of.

She was extremely lucky today, and everything was going in a good direction. She quickly sat back on Xia Bai and stared at the screen with anticipation.

In the projection, Akashi can first be seen circling around the RX-02, tapping it here and there with a wrench, and then a bright light burst out from inside the mecha.

The dark blue flames swirled around it, and Akashi was so frightened that he threw away the wrench and sat on the ground, crawling backwards using his hands and feet.

But she was still a step too late. The dark blue flame ignited her emerald green cat tail. She ran around in a panic. After finally putting out the flame, Mingshi hugged her tail with a crying expression.

Seeing this, Xia Bai laughed out loud. This was too unlucky. However, he came to his senses after being looked at by Kaga in his arms. He thought about apologizing to Akashi later, and then watched the following changes carefully.

After the flames dissipated, a giant blue and white mecha emerged. According to Xia Bai's estimation, it was about thirty meters long, much taller than its original form and other forms.

The streamlined, slender torso is emblazoned with a moon pattern, its long limbs are covered in white armor, and its dark abdomen is divided by blue machine-engraved lines.

The conical jet-like shoulder armor was incomparably large, with two layers of hollow silver metal, fan-shaped wing launch ports extending from it, and two dark blue ribbons floating in the wind.

The metal ring connecting from the waist to the back emits a bright light like a full moon. The most eye-catching thing is the crystal cross gun in his hand. There is no excessive decoration, just a blue ribbon wrapped around the gun handle. The power of this cross gun can be felt through the screen.

In the past, Xia Bai didn’t believe the nonsense that Kaga and Akagi said that their mechas would be stronger, but now he is beginning to believe it.

Not to mention anything else, just looking at its size, it is nearly twenty meters taller than other forms, and Xia Bai racked his brains but couldn't find the prototype of this form. It doesn't look like a Gundam, but instead has the feeling of a super mecha.

After watching the entire process of RX-02's transformation and return, Xia Bai asked, "What do you think of its appearance?"

"Tsukuyomi..."

Murmuring the name, Kaga expressed his thoughts: "Is it called Tsukuyomi? I like it very much, but I don't know if there is a floating cannon."

Kaga likes the appearance very much. Tsukuyomi is in line with her aesthetic. It is not flashy like Innocence and Holiness. Under the restrained appearance, it hides an extremely powerful power.

She seemed to be able to see the scene where Tsukuyomi would bring a devastating blow to the enemy with the force of thunder once it was activated.

However, she was particularly concerned about the floating cannon. After all, what attracted her to Xia Bai in the beginning was not only that he was a strong man, but also that she wanted to use the floating cannon.

"I think there will be a floating gun. After all, the spikes on the wings that are derived from the shoulder armor of Tsukuyomi are not decorations. Judging from the small jet nozzle on it, this thing is most likely not a missile."

"After Akashi equips the RX-02 with legs, we can go up and try it out... By the way, Kaga, can you use a weapon like a spear?"

If Kaga doesn't know how, Xia Bai guessed that he would have to find someone to learn how to use the spear. Looking at Tsukuyomi's appearance, if there is any special system, it must be related to the spear in his hand.

This was his intuition. Such a conspicuous spear should not be just a simple melee weapon.

Hearing Xia Baidu's certainty, Kaga nodded with satisfaction. It was good to have a floating gun. Outdated equipment such as carrier-based aircraft should have been replaced long ago.

From today on, she is no longer the aircraft carrier Kaga, but the space carrier Kaga. Thinking of this, Kaga replied: "I don't like to use weapons in close combat..."

Hearing this, Xia Bai couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He had already started to think about who among the swordsmen in Sakura Empire could wield a spear, so he decided to go and ask them himself.

And when the candidate was selected, I heard what Kaga said next.

"But whether it's the eighteen martial arts of Country C, or the sword, kamakama, and naginata of Country J, I know a little bit about them."

Chapter 15 Ring distribution, first come first served

With his cherry lips slightly raised, Kaga leaned on Xia Bai's chest and stroked his face.

"Are you confused as to why I know so much but don't like to fight with cold weapons?"

"Well, I've never seen you, Kaga, fight a siren with weapons..."

Xia Bai knows Kaga very well. If she says she knows a little bit about him, it means she is really good at it. After all, ship girls learn things very quickly, except for some idiots.

It's no secret that the Sakura Empire loves hand-to-hand combat. They can pick any destroyer and pull out their katana to fight. However, he was a little surprised that Kaga knew so many things.

"No wonder they all say you're stupid. Think about it. My ship has no weapons. Wouldn't it be a death wish to use human-made weapons to fight the Siren?"

A word of advice woke Xia Bai up. If Kaga hadn't reminded him, he would have forgotten about it. He was planning to try out his newly learned swordsmanship when he took Noshiro to actual combat this month.

"Excuse me, if you have no use for Kaga, why are you learning it?"

"Before, I couldn't find any other fun besides fighting, so I used learning these skills to numb myself. After a long time, I felt that it was meaningless..."

As for the long time that Kaga mentioned, Xia Bai especially wanted to know how long it was exactly. No matter how fast a ship girl learns, it should take her several months to become proficient in fighting with a cold weapon, right?

However, Xia Bai didn't dare to ask this question. As long as they are women, they are particularly concerned about their age. God knows how old Kaga is.

I heard that Mikasa handed over the position of flagship to Nagato two years ago, and Mikasa stayed in this position for quite a while, and before that there was Shinano.

Considering the time when Azur Lane was founded...
