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

"I just want to understand him...there are no hidden thoughts." Helena MATE pointed at Xia Bai when she spoke of him.

"He has great power... powerful enough to change everything, and he is also Helena's commander."

"I don't remember when I became your commander, and I've never even met you." After hearing Helena's explanation, Xia Bai immediately retorted loudly.

Ignoring Xia Bai's words, Helena MATE continued to speak to herself: "My world was destroyed by the Siren because it was contaminated with the scent of embers."

"The bustling city, the beautiful sea...all burned to ashes. It was not until the end that I realized that the so-called smell of embers was just a transparent stone I picked up on the sea."

"On the eve of the destruction of the world, I met the people of Embers when I was dying. They promised to give me the power to complete my revenge on the Siren."

"Like I had grasped the only light, I joined the Embers and soon became the commander of the battlefield."

"At first I thought everyone in Embers was like me, coming together for revenge after the world was destroyed."

"And then, I discovered...I discovered..."

Seeing that Helena MATE stopped talking at the most critical point, Xia Bai couldn't help but urge her, "What did you find? Helena, tell me, what's next?"

"The purpose of discovering the embers is not that simple."

With some struggle in her eyes, Helena left these words and disappeared without a trace, as if she had never been there, leaving Shinano and Xia Bai staring at each other.

"Can women also be eunuchs?"

Chapter 29 A Question

This is too much. After such a long period of preparation, the important information was finally revealed, but the person suddenly disappeared.

What about the stone with the scent of the embers? What is the purpose of the embers? And what faction are the embers in? Why did they destroy dozens of worlds after Qian Gong was taken away by them?

Anyway, Xia Bai now feels worse than being fed shit. He has heard so much, but it seems like he has heard nothing.

Listening to your speech, it sounds like a conversation.

If Helena MATE had not left, he would have caught her and beaten her up, even though he might not be able to do so.

"Did she leave?"

"Left..."

"Then what do we do?"

"Helena is gone, but isn't there still one?" Shinano answered Xia Bai's question with a chuckle, waved his sleeves, and the space around him began to fluctuate.

Then she frowned and said to the empty sky, "Why don't you show yourself? Observer Zero."

"No, I'm just here to say hello... The arbitration agency wants to talk to me about something, so I'm leaving now."

Upon hearing this, Ling wanted to run away on the spot. It was impossible for him to meet people. If he really showed his face to Xia Bai, the plan would not be able to proceed smoothly.

She is a thorough mystic. If she leaves a little mystery to Xia Bai, there will be room for many things to maneuver.

However, Zero was too naive. How could Shinano let her go easily after she entered the dream on her own initiative?

After trying several times and finding that he couldn't get away, Ling's face turned cold and he asked, "Shinano, what do you mean by this... Do you really want to fight with me in my dream?"

"Hehe~ I don't mean anything else. I just thought that since you came to the Commander's dream for no reason, it would be unreasonable not to leave you some 'toll'."

Looking at Shinano's solemn expression, Zero knew that he would not be able to leave if he didn't reveal some information today, but he still let down his guard.

It's normal to reveal information anyway, so I might as well tell the other party some unimportant things. With this in mind, Zero said, "One question... I will tell you everything I know."

She really didn't want to face Shinano in her dream. God knew why the ship girls born in this world were so strange; Shinano, New Jersey, Frederick the Great, Nagato, Enterprise... each of them had abilities beyond other ship girls.

Moreover, a product that should not have been born, the Son of Prometheus, was born, and for this reason the [Host] specially gave this world a special label.

"That's enough. I'll let the commander ask you this question."

Shinano easily agreed to the other party's conditions, and slowly walked behind Xia Bai, indicating that he would take care of the rest.

It’s not that Shinano didn’t want to know more, but she didn’t dare to push Zero into a corner.

Admittedly, Shinano is very confident in her fighting ability in the dream space, but if the opponent were to fight to the death, given her current physical condition, it would be hard to say who would win or lose.

Seeing that he had become the focus again, Xia Bai cleared his throat without saying anything polite. He took a step forward and said to the empty sky with full energy: "My question is--"

After taking a deep breath, Xia Bai finally asked out his biggest question at the moment.

"How to get to Shinano's current location? I need Observer Zero to give me detailed instructions."

"commander!?"

Upon hearing this question, Shinano was very surprised and exclaimed.

Shinano knew Xia Bai's character very well. He was not the kind of person who would worry about things that might not happen, nor would he consider long-term goals, so what he asked must be the most useful at this stage.

The lingering nightmare in the heart of the Son of Prometheus, the beginning of everything - the truth about the death of RX-01.

Shinano was sure that his commander would ask Observer Zero the exact answer to this question, after all, it had been bothering him for a long time.

If RX-01 was really killed by Tempalans, then there is nothing to say. Xia Bai will continue to lead the ship girls and the Sirens to fight to the death.

But if it wasn't Tempalans who killed RX-01, their stance might change slightly, and the plan to establish the Red Axis could be put on the agenda.

Therefore, the truth of this matter is not only a private matter of the son of Prometheus, but also an important balance that affects the world pattern.

But now Xia Bai was asking about where he was, which made Shinano feel warm inside even though he didn't know what to say.

She had a complicated look on her face and said softly, "Commander, actually, where I am is really not that important."

"Shinano, you don't have to persuade me. I know the importance of the truth behind my brother's death, but I will find the truth myself. The most urgent thing is to rescue you first."

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two people below was becoming a little bit corny, Ling felt a little uncomfortable for some reason, as if he had eaten too many flies.

With a cold snort, she urged, "Have you decided what to ask? I'm in a hurry."

After staring into Shinano's eyes for a long time, Xia Bai turned around and replied, "I've decided. I'll just ask this."

"Tsk...this is so boring." Muttering softly, Observer Zero quickly contacted the [Host] and used the mental computer to analyze the best path.

"If you want to go to where Shinano is, the best option is to use the echo generator to open a space rift outside the atmosphere."

"At that time, Shinano himself can guide it and open the passage of the claustrophobic prison... That's it. Now that the conditions have been met, I can leave now."

Keeping Zero's answer in mind, Xia Bai turned and looked at Shinano, who nodded and waved.

"I have removed the mark on you. You can leave at any time now."

After hearing what Shinano said, Ling found that the invisible shackles on her body had really disappeared, so she didn't say anything else and prepared to leave this dream. She suffered a great loss today.

But before leaving, Zero still left some useful information.

"Friendly reminder, Shinano is not in our hands now, but in the hands of Ember. She is guarded by the Supreme Temperance. In your current form, you only have a 13.76% chance of defeating Temperance."

"Also, our current position will not change. I also know that you have joined forces with the Royal Family of this world and the Sakura Empire to attack the Solomon Line."

"If you, Xia Bai, really want to know what the ember is and the truth about RX-01's death, then win that battle. The Solomon Line will decide whether you are the key we are looking for."

"Finally... please inform the Purifier and tell her leader to let this idiot of hers return to the mainframe as soon as possible!"

Chapter 30: The Battle Between Chuuni

"Lord Xia Bai..."

"Master Xia Bai?"

The gentle call woke Xia Bai from his dream. He propped himself up from the rocking chair and looked at the person in front of him with confused eyes.

Her smooth dark black hair was draped over her chest, her eyes and brows were very similar to Kaohsiung's, but softer and more lively than her. Her white navy uniform had blue decorations, which wrapped around her plump figure.

The perfect space is formed between the pleated skirt and the 30D black stockings, and the crossed legs form a beautiful curve and tremble slightly.

"It's Toriumi..." Shaking his head to make himself more awake, Xia Bai immediately recognized the girl in front of him.

The shipgirl named Toriumi showed a happy smile, her eyes curved like crescent moons: "Yes, it's Toriumi."

The fourth ship of the Takao class, Toriumi, is the smallest of the Takao class. She is gentle and beautiful in appearance and lively and lovely in character. But the other party is from Akagi, which makes Xia Bai a little confused.

Blinking his bright eyes, Toriumi asked curiously, "Didn't Master Xiabai go to learn kendo from Sister Takao? Why did you fall asleep in the corridor?"

Her voice is lively yet gentle. If placed in the everyday world, Toriumi would probably be the typical childhood sweetheart next door.

"Don't ask me these questions yet. Let me calm down. I just woke up and I'm still a little confused."

"Oh, then I won't disturb Lord Xia Bai." The well-behaved Toriumi stepped aside, leaving Xia Bai with enough buffer space.

Covering his head, Xia Bai began to think about the scene in his dream. After Observer Zero left, he analyzed the information currently obtained with Shinano.

As a result, the two of them seemed to have analyzed rigorously for a long time, but they did not come to any conclusion.

One has no brains, and the other has not enough brains. The former is naturally Xia Bai. Everyone knows that he is not good at anything other than fighting. It's okay to let him fight, but it's better to find a rope to hang him than to do these delicate brain-intensive tasks.

As for Shinano...she also admitted that she was not a particularly smart person, and said that she was able to sit on the position of the flagship of the Sakura Empire not because of her brains but because of her power.

The world situation at that time was not as complicated as it is now, there was no Maritime Administration, and humans could only survive under the protection of ship girls.

So naturally, whoever was better at fighting in the Sakura Empire at that time would be the boss, and it was all fine as long as the IQ was acceptable.

Therefore, the two of them did not come to any useful conclusions in the dream. They were busy for a long time and then were awakened by Toriumi.

"Echo Generator..."

Murmuring the name of this thing softly, Xia Bai decided to wait for Mingshi to wake up and then ask him. After all, only she could understand these weird things.

After completely recovering from his shock, Xia Bai looked up at the well-behaved Toriumi, and Maya, who had just been blocked by her and therefore he had not noticed her.

"So you're here too, Maya... Did you two come back together?"

Maya, with short white hair, nodded and said, "Well, Toriumi and I just finished patrolling the surrounding waters."

"...By the way, I already have some ideas about the sky-tearing trick you mentioned last time." Maya spoke slowly and pulled out the katana from the black sheath.

"Give it a try...to verify whether my idea is feasible."

Hearing this, Toriumi's face flushed a little, and he said anxiously: "Don't be like this, Sister Maya, Master Xia Bai just woke up, it's very rude."

This is not a question of politeness at all, but Maya's train of thought is very strange. To use a more fashionable term, she is a middle school student. She is taciturn and often does some incredible things.

She herself didn't feel ashamed, but her younger sister Toriumi thought it was very embarrassing.

"It doesn't matter. I'm awake anyway." With a smile, Xia Bai stood up from the rocking chair and walked to the courtyard to take out Noshiro's teacher gift.

'bass--'

The white sword was unsheathed, and a cold light flashed.

Holding the silver scabbard in one hand and the katana in the other, Xia Bai was ready for battle: "It's good to stretch my muscles. I'm almost suffocating after not fighting for so long."

"I look forward to practicing with you guys every two days. Kaohsiung has something to do today, so it's a good opportunity for Maya to come and see the results of my practice."

Since Xia Bai said so, Toriumi no longer had the intention to stop him. After all, the other party was now the emperor of the Sakura Empire, and everyone except the mentally retarded destroyers and some idiots knew it.

I could only whisper a reminder: "Sister Maya, please be careful."

"I have my own sense of proportion."

After waving her hand to tell Toriumi not to worry, Maya came into the courtyard with a sword in hand and placed the sword at the upper part in a stabbing position.

"The fourth Kaohsiung-class ship, Maya."

Telling each other your names before a fight is a good way to improve your B-status, so Xia Bai put the sword back into the scabbard, slightly bent his front knee, and looked lonely as if he had seen through the world and only the sword was in his heart.

"Flying Sword Style, Xia Bai."

"I remember last time, Xia Bai, you said you were a dual-wielder of life swords... Can you change your style at will?"

"The sword is a weapon, and sword skills are strategies to kill people. No matter which style I use, the sword has always been in my heart, and only the sword can enter the Tao... Besides, how can I play two swords with only one sword in my hand?"

After hearing what Xia Bai said, Maya suddenly understood, but she didn't know whether she understood the first half or the second half. She sighed: "Is that so... Then I'll start over again."

She quickly got back into position with a ferocious expression on her face, and said in a deep voice, "Mahakala's mindless flow, Maya."

After that, the two of them just posed there motionless, as if they were petrified and a little stupid.

Toriumi, who was watching the fight under the eaves, covered her face helplessly. These two people were too childish. Looking at their actions and words, the feeling of shame and embarrassment crawled all over her like ants.

It's already a headache for a middle-aged Maya, and now here comes Xia Bai, a second-rate newt. It's like a turtle and a mung bean - they hit it off.

The middle school students are attracted to each other. When Kaohsiung brought Xia Bai home for the first time, Maya and the son of Prometheus had brain waves matching.

Under Xia Bai's "guidance", the already immature Maya actually believed that there was a sword skill that could tear the sky apart, and he worked day and night to comprehend this move.

They were patrolling the sea well today, but Maya suddenly shouted that she understood and wanted to show it to Xia Bai, so she urged them to come back.

"Sure enough, it's just as I thought..." Looking at the posture of the two people, Toriumi covered his face and said uncomfortably.

She knew very well why the two of them did not move. The battle between the two of them must be accompanied by atmosphere, so they were waiting for this atmosphere to arrive.
