Azur Lane Mobile Front.

In order to keep the "script" going and learn more about the situation, the company launched its own carrier-based aircraft after the Yorktown and Hornet had launched theirs.

Due to a lack of familiarity, the company's carrier-based aircraft produced numerous errors.

However, neither Yorktown nor the Hornets seemed to notice this obvious anomaly.

Once the carrier-based aircraft are deployed, they immediately fall out of the company's control.

Watching the carrier-based aircraft fly off in their designated directions, the company felt more confident about the current situation.

Will history repeat itself?

"But where is the commander this time?"

Just now, the company attempted to use its own communicator.

However, the communicator that worked perfectly in "Bumblebee's" hands was just a model to her, completely devoid of any functionality.

"Unable to make contact. But the commander must be somewhere."

"As for those around me..."

With this in mind, the company turned its attention to Yorktown and the Hornets, which were located nearby.

This performance was definitely not a coincidence.

The Sirens were waiting for the opportunity to gather the three Yorktown-class ships.

But who is the main character in this performance?

"There are too few known conditions; we need to wait."

Despite a rapid mental search, the company ultimately failed to reach an answer.

"But we can try. At least, let's find the commander first..."

Recalling the time before they changed their uniforms, the three Yorktown-class aircraft carriers taught them how to use their equipment. The company then began to connect its consciousness with the direction of the carrier-based aircraft that had taken off.

"The only things I can control here are these carrier-based aircraft."

"Moreover, it may only be possible at the very moment of the attack."

...

On one of the command ships of the "Sakura Empire Fleet," Robo sat quietly in that chair.

Suddenly, the quiet environment was broken.

Without warning, the sounds of air combat could be heard overhead.

"White Eagle Flotilla spotted in the XX direction; carrier-based fighter jets have been scrambled to intercept."

The communicator in the command room also rang "timely" at this moment, and the voice coming from it was still "Flying Dragon".

Unlike before, this time, it seems that Rob's intervention is not needed for the story to continue.

The communicator automatically shut down after "Flying Dragon" finished speaking.

"Haven't we gotten to the main point yet?"

Listening to the constant sounds of battle overhead, Rob lowered his head in deep thought.

If all of this was an experiment by the Sirens, then the Sirens must have needed the test subjects to take some action in order to collect data.

However, it's not normal that I can't do anything right now.

"Anyway, the Sirens definitely didn't invite me to the movies, so when exactly can I start my 'performance'...?"

...

It seems the Sirens have little patience for cutscenes.

The battle overhead came to an abrupt end in less than two minutes.

"The fighter squadron detected and repelled the White Eagle's air force attack in time, and our air force was not damaged."

"We have now basically pinpointed the location of the White Eagle carrier fleet, and the subsequent attacks should be coming soon."

"Lord Akagi plans to cancel the second attack and replace the carrier-based aircraft's bombers with torpedoes for attacking the Eagle Union fleet."

After "Flying Dragon" finished his report, the indicator light on the communicator did not turn off; it continued to flash.

"What do I need to do to continue...?"

Recalling what had happened, Rob looked in the direction of the communication device.

“If nothing is done, the ‘script’ will be interrupted.”

"So, what if I do the exact opposite of what's in the 'script'?"

Rob's eyes flickered as he looked at the communicator that was flashing its lights.

"Ignore Akagi and continue the attack on AF."

Rob is very familiar with the script he is currently performing.

"The Fateful Five Minutes," a classic situation that deviates slightly from actual history, is still talked about today in the world before Robb.

As Rob finished speaking, the communicator remained on, its light still flashing.

After a while...

"As ordered."

"???"

"Flying Dragon's" answer left Rob both puzzled and surprised.

"It...it really works?"

"This 'script' actually has branching choices?"

An unexpected result from one attempt sparked a new idea in Rob's mind.

"It seems that I can take some action."

"So, the first thing to do is to find my own sister!"

Coincidentally, Rob and the company both began searching for each other's actions.

Chapter 269: The Company's Attempts and the Imminent External Aid

"Damn it! There are a lot of escorting fighters over the target, so the torpedo bombers can't inflict any effective damage!"

"Seriously, it was right in front of me!"

From the company's perspective, "the scene suddenly changed" is the best way to describe the situation she just encountered.

Constantly monitoring the carrier-based aircraft at the front, she prepared to seize that fleeting opportunity to send a signal to locate Rob.

However, she didn't even have a brief "bright white light" before she jumped directly to the next scene.

"Were there no actionable options for this attack?"

Seeing the somewhat exasperated "Bumblebee" company beside them, they decided to cooperate with the other party's performance for now and continue to wait for an opportunity.

"Me too, not a single torpedo bomber hit its target, sorry..."

"Judging from the enemy's carrier-based aircraft movements, our position has very likely been exposed."

While reciting his own "lines," the company observed the two women in front of him.

She couldn't be sure whether these two were like her, possessing their own consciousness but unable to contact her due to the script, or whether they hadn't woken up yet and were simply actors in this Siren play.

"Don't be discouraged! The Sakura Empire's carrier-based aircraft still have plenty of time from takeoff to completing the attack; we still maintain the initiative!"

"This time, I'll lead the way. Let's all use fighter jets and bombers to make a frontal breakthrough!"

"Everyone, perk up! The attack is only just beginning!"

Yorktown, at this moment, perfectly played the role of a loving older sister who cares deeply for her younger sister.

She soothed "Bumblebee" in a gentle voice after her failed attack, encouraged the two of them, and used her own strength to help her sister get up from where she had just fallen.

Without a doubt, this perfectly matches the Yorktown in the company's memory.

However, at this point, companies are thinking about much more.

"Bumblebee, the other me, there's nothing worth testing right now."

"But, my sister..."

"Is the main character this time... the older sister, or the commander?"

Despite limited prior knowledge, the company, leveraging its exceptional computing power, has already gleaned a significant portion of the basic details of this event.

"Emergency!"

"The Sakura Empire air force has launched a second air raid on AF!"

Just as the company was still reflecting on the current situation, "Bumblebee" seemed to have received some kind of instruction, and with an extremely abrupt turn, it steered things in another direction.

"???"

This sudden turn of events took the company by surprise.

Neither her memories as a ship nor her personal experience of the AF campaign contained any mention of a second air raid by Sakura Empire against AF.

"Sister Enterprise, what should we do?"

"Bumblebee" turned its head towards the company and asked with a stiff expression.

It seems that because it went beyond the original script, "Bumblebee" was unable to load the originally set expressions, making her look extremely strange now.

These are probably trivial matters to the Sirens.

After the question was asked, everything around them immediately came to a standstill.

"Do I need to make the choice?"

Instead of rushing to respond to "Bumblebee," the company felt that this should be an opportunity for them to take some action.

Moreover, this plot point, which is significantly different from the AF campaign, has also drawn particular attention from the company.

"Could it be the commander?"

If anyone could maintain their self-awareness and make changes to the script, the company felt that, apart from its own commander, there would be no one else.

"I'm going to reinforce AF. You guys continue attacking the Sakura Empire's fleet!"

"Understood, Enterprise! Well then, Yorktown, let's go!"

From a tactical perspective, the company's proposal to split its forces was undoubtedly a blunder, given that the first attack had failed and that the enemy had a large number of fighter escorts.

However, neither the Hornet nor the Yorktown raised any objections, allowing the company to control its carrier-based aircraft and fly towards AF.

"The carrier-based aircraft are now under control. Indeed, the decision we made just now was the right one."

Feeling a vague connection with the carrier-based aircraft, the company somewhat clumsily controlled them using the same methods it used to control the Draper.

...

Just as Rob and the company were trying to decipher the "script" they had fallen into, an unexpected ship also arrived in this sea area.

"Why have I come here...?"

Nowadays, Shinano rarely falls into such a deep sleep that it cannot control.

It wasn't that her ship equipment had improved; it was simply that, as the current flagship of Sakura Empire, she had many things that required her to muster her energy to do.

However, today, Shinano once again involuntarily fell into a deep sleep.

Furthermore, her consciousness was actually pulled directly into this somewhat unfamiliar sea area.

A thick fog enveloped this sea area, making it impossible to see what was inside.

However, these are not insurmountable obstacles for Shinano in its current situation.

After a moment's thought, Shinano controlled himself and drifted into the mist.

Since I've come to this sea area, there must be something here that brought me here.

...

Breaking through the fog, Shinano saw a tranquil sea.

On the vast, boundless sea, nothing else can be seen but the seawater.

"Not here?"
