Azur Lane Mobile Front.

"A mirror-like sea is beginning to form..."

"The experiment is expected to begin... in one hour..."

The tester, whom we haven't seen for a long time, is now hiding on the sea not far away, his eyes fixed on the Hornet.

...

However, the Sirens are not the only ones paying attention to Yorktown.

"Her condition is very serious; if she doesn't get help, she might soon..."

In an unknown space, Yorktown Meta is having a conversation with Helena Meta.

"...Yes."

Helena Meta was silent for a while, but eventually replied.

"I want to...go see her."

"Heh, what's wrong? Still can't let go of your past?"

Yorktown Meta shook his head, then nodded.

"Seeing her reminds me of myself back then."

"However, back then, we found a way."

"However, in this testing ground, no one is here to do all of this anymore."

"Isn't 'he' still here?"

"Yes, but 'he' is no longer by her side..."

After saying all this, the unknown space fell silent once again.

Chapter 267: Stage Play

On the Hornet, Rob stood or sat to one side, quietly watching his company and Yorktown talk.

He didn't want to disturb the sisters' warm reunion.

After all, this kind of trick can only be played once at most. If their company wants to see Yorktown again in the future, they will probably have to put in a lot of effort.

However, the warm sunshine on my body, combined with the rare gentle sea breeze, made me feel drowsy.

Rob sat in his chair, watching the silhouette of his company gradually blur, and unconsciously drifted off to sleep.

Meanwhile, a thin mist was quietly forming around this sea area.

However, neither Bumblebee nor Enterprise, engrossed in spending time with their older sister, noticed this unusual situation.

"Ready... Experiment begins..."

...

"This is...a...bombing...targeting...already..."

In the hazy light, Rob seemed to hear some sound.

Struggling to open his heavy eyelids, Rob struggled to sit up.

Before him was the command center of a completely unfamiliar ship, and he was the only person there.

Apart from the flashing lights on the dashboard and the occasional beeping sound, the entire ship was eerily quiet.

"Hiss~ What is this? Have I time-traveled again?"

Rob stood up, clutching his head, and walked around the walls of the command room.

Unsurprisingly, all the doors and windows were locked, making it impossible to open them.

"Heh~ I know it's unlikely, but I'll still give it a try."

Rob turned around and looked at the chair he had just been sitting in.

"By the way, although I don't know what's going on now, this chair... isn't it the one I was just sitting in?"

"What is this? A transmigration story where I have a chair?"

While talking to himself, Rob also grabbed the chair without hesitation and smashed it against the window of the command room with all his might.

The loud crash echoed throughout the small command room.

Rob was thrown back several meters by the recoil, narrowly avoiding falling to the ground.

"Ugh, it's useless after all..."

Looking at the intact window and the chair in his hand, Rob calmly put the chair back on the ground and plopped down on it.

Let's analyze the current situation.

Rob sat in the chair, rubbing his chin with one hand and rhythmically tapping the armrest of the chair with the other.

"If I remember correctly, I was with my family and her sisters at sea before."

"Then, because sunbathing was so comfortable, I must have fallen asleep."

"And so, I'll end up here..."

"Hmm...it looks like there's been another problem at sea."

"Then everything becomes clear; it must have been the Sirens' doing!"

Just as Rob reached his conclusion with ease, a sound suddenly broke out in the previously silent command room.

"This is Feilong. The first round of bombing against AF has been completed, and the results are very good."

"However, some important targets have not been destroyed and a second round of bombing is needed. We need to apply for approval."

Surprisingly, the voice coming from the communicator was that of the Sakura Empire's dragon.

This was something that Rob couldn't understand at all.

He stared intently at the flashing dashboard lights, without uttering a sound.

The scene before my eyes was truly bizarre.

Then, as if remembering something, Rob quickly walked to the window.

Sure enough, many mass-produced ships could be clearly seen outside.

As for Feilong, who had just sent a call, Rob didn't see it.

After Feilong sent a message, there was no further communication through the communicator, and it fell silent again.

"What 'Flying Dragon' just said was about bombing AF... right?"

It's difficult for Rob to extract much useful information from just two sentences.

However, Rob was all too familiar with the place name AF.

"However, since this communication device just transmitted a sound, it means it's usable, right?"

After saying that, Rob stood up and walked to the dashboard.

This equipment was considered old-fashioned by Rob, and although he hadn't used it in a long time, it was something he was required to learn when he was in school.

As a top student, Luo managed to start the communicator successfully after trying it twice, based on his memory of how it worked.

However, after trying to contact his own company and receiving only a series of beeping sounds, he knew that this path had also been blocked by the Sirens.

"That's so typical of the Sirens; they thought of everything so thoroughly during the experiment."

Having failed to get anywhere, Rob had no choice but to sit back down in the chair.

As Rob fell into deep thought once again, the entire command room fell silent once more.

After an unknown amount of time, the communicator's light came on again, drawing Rob's attention.

"This is Feilong. The first round of bombing against AF has been completed, and the results are very good."

"However, some important targets have not been destroyed and a second round of bombing is needed. We need to apply for approval."

The communicator still carried Feilong's voice, and the exact same words.

All of this seems to be repeating something.

"Operation approved."

Looking at the flashing dashboard lights, Rob remained silent for a moment before answering.

"learn!"

Sure enough, after Robo replied, Feilong spoke differently through the communicator.

However, there are only these two words.

After that, the room returned to silence.

"Heh~ It seems that we can only follow the 'script' to make everything proceed along the predetermined path; otherwise, we'll just get stuck there in an endless loop."

The experiment just now gave Rob a better understanding of his current situation.

Now, he's been placed into the script pre-designed by the sirens, but he doesn't know what role he's playing.

However, judging from the recent communication, it's probably a commander from the Sakura Empire.

"So, the current scenario is the AF campaign... then what about Enterprise and the others..."

Thinking of this, Rob suddenly raised his head.

If the scenario is indeed the AF campaign, then wouldn't the three Yorktown-class carriers perfectly complete the Eagle Union carrier strike group?

"They...are on the other side?"

...

Just as Robb had guessed, Yorktown, Enterprise, and Hornet were currently in the waters near AF.

Just like Robo did back then, they are quietly waiting in a sea area for the Sakura Empire to launch an attack first.

However, his situation is different from Rob's.

They are playing themselves.

At least, that's how it appears from the perspective of businesses.

Chapter 268: A Flexible "Script"

"A message just arrived from command: AF has been attacked by the Sakura Empire fleet!"

In the area where the White Eagle Fleet was lurking, "Hornet" put down her communicator and loudly relayed the message she had just received to her two older sisters.

"Now it's time for us to launch a counterattack!"

The bald eagle perched on Yorktown's shoulder flapped its wings and flew into the air, letting out a cry.

Yorktown's face was no longer gentle as it usually was, but filled with determination.

At this moment, she was not only an older sister, but also a warrior and a commander on the battlefield.

"Alright! Yorktown, Enterprise, let's go!"

Following the actions of the Yorktown, the Hornet released its carrier-based aircraft and had them line up in the air.

The company, which had just regained consciousness, looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar ship-mounted longbow in its hands.

This is the shipboard equipment from another company.

Am I playing another version of myself right now?

Because of Rob's previous actions, the Yorktown-level companies that should have been located here have been replaced by Rob's family.

The mismatch of the "actors" introduced variables into the performance from the very beginning.

"Just now, they mentioned AF, so now we can confirm that this is the AF campaign."

Although the company is usually lazy and leaves all the thinking to Luo Bo, it doesn't mean she's not smart.

On the contrary, her computing power is unparalleled in the entire port area.

The sudden situation caused her brain to "start up" after a long time.

Because the company has been thinking about it but hasn't taken any action, the show's performance cannot continue.

The "theatre" correction mechanism triggered by this allowed the company to witness everything around it firsthand, suddenly flashing back to the moment it had just awakened.

Watching Yorktown and Hornets perform their show in an orderly fashion, the company immediately understood what it needed to do for the show to continue.
