Azur Lane Mobile Front.

The New Jersey hull, which had just landed, didn't linger and dashed into the kitchen.

When Rob returned to the kitchen, he saw New Jersey taking out clumps of milky white, semi-solidified stuff from the metal can.

"Hmph, Rob, this is my specially made ice cream~"

He shoved a bowl of "ice cream" into Rob's hands, and New Jersey immediately filled another bowl for himself.

With one bite, Rob saw starlight gleam in New Jersey's eyes.

"Mmm! It tastes amazing! Rob, you should try some!"

Holding the object in front of him that resembled ice cream, Rob fell into deep thought.

Logically speaking, this unprecedented ice cream made from Gundam should be quite a rare treat, and he should try it.

But...

"Hey, New Jersey, didn't you notice this thing is glowing green?"

As he spoke, Rob held the bowl up to New Jersey.

In a bowl full of ice cream, tiny GN particles are drifting downwards.

"Huh?"

Seeing this, New Jersey stared blankly at the half-eaten ice cream in his bowl.

...

After saying goodbye to New Jersey, the system, which had been quiet for a while, suddenly popped up a message.

The auction will begin tomorrow. Please prepare accordingly.

[This auction features a ★-tier mecha: Wind Demon Mecha God Cybuster (Possessed by a Spirit).]

"Holy crap?!"

These two simple words perfectly express Rob's current mood.

Chapter 313: Cebasta

Cybuster, the Wind Demon God, is a name that will be familiar to anyone who knows about Super Robot Wars.

As the first map-wide attack in the history of mecha warfare, this thing was a real money-printing machine back then.

Then, as someone who has always been chasing after Shirakawa Shu, Ando Masaki's mecha has always been compared to Gransen's.

But honestly, what makes Guransen think he can go toe-to-toe with this thing?

"Should I say, 'No wonder it's a Super Warrior?' This level of power is a bit excessive..."

Looking at the pure white, streamlined mecha on the system panel, and the phantom image of a girl in a white dress with blue eyes behind it, Rob's excitement was beyond words.

It's no exaggeration to say that the arrival of this machine gave him a trump card to face all problems.

"Take it! We must take it!"

Although he knew that his unreliable system had dug a big pit for him to fall into, Rob still jumped in without hesitation.

"Home visits" and such can be put aside for now; this matter is more important.

Because the system's auction is "borrowed" from the ridiculous mechanism of the Russians, Rob only has one chance to bid.

This blind auction mechanism, under the control of the system, truly means that how much is sold depends entirely on the buyer's mood.

"Hiss~ Let me check how many silver coins I have left..."

Sitting in his room, Rob once again began to organize his current "assets".

Robben is determined to get Sebasta.

So, the answer is actually quite simple.

"Leave enough for the necessary maintenance costs, and throw the rest in."

In just a moment, Rob's system panel showed hundreds of millions of silver coins, which was all of Rob's savings.

"Alright, now all we have to do is wait."

Although Robo values ​​this machine highly, there's not much he can actually do about it.

With his money gone, Rob naturally entered "wise man mode" and began to consider other issues.

"Hmm... something seems off..."

After carefully examining the images of Cebasta, Rob frowned, realizing that things were not so simple.

Sebastian's driver has a rather frustrating trait—he has a terrible sense of direction.

According to Rob's experience, once a ship is equipped with Cybuster, this trait is highly likely to be inherited.

And then... even if this ship used to be a human compass, she said goodbye to her sense of direction afterward.

Then, an even bigger problem arose.

What to do if the main DPS gets lost during a raid?

"As expected, the system is always setting traps for me..."

Although he had figured out the key points, Rob felt that since he had already spent the money, there was no point in thinking too much, so he simply closed the system panel.

The following day was a very difficult one for Rob.

After all, if someone is always thinking about one thing, they are more likely to make mistakes when doing other things.

To prevent this problem from occurring, Rob simply set it up for a whole day.

The following evening, with a system notification, the Cebasta that Rob had been longing for finally arrived.

"It's finally here!"

Luo, who had been like a salted fish, suddenly sprang to his feet and jumped out of bed, instantly becoming energetic.

"Sure enough, it's there."

After carefully examining my system repository, I found Cebasta standing there quietly.

"Owner?"

Belfast, who was providing Rob with a massage and giving the two Dido-class attendants a hands-on lesson, looked at Rob with some concern.

Most likely, the head maid thinks Luo has gone mad.

"Don't worry, Belfast, I'm fine. Go tell everyone to come to the warehouse."

After saying this, Rob, in a great mood, gave the head maid a big kiss on her soft lips, which made the two maids next to him envious.

"I understand, Master."

Despite being pulled off this stunt by Rob in front of his two "apprentices," Belfast remained calm.

"But should we also notify Miss Shinano?"

Seeing the faint smile on the head maid's face, Robo suddenly remembered that there seemed to be more than just his own ships in his port.

His nominal fiancée, Shinano, and her close attendant, Noyo, were also staying in the port area.

"Let's notify them all at once..."

After a moment's thought, Rob decided that he shouldn't keep it from the other party anymore.

Firstly, based on the unicorn and his own previous experiences, Shinano was already quite superstitious, so there was no point in keeping it from her.

Secondly, the more mystical the mecha becomes, the more difficult it is to find suitable ships to synchronize with it; having more options is always a good thing.

...

Rob's "summoning order" immediately caused quite a stir in the port area.

Because every time this happens, it means that their commander is about to create a new mech.

As they hurried toward Rob's warehouse, the group discussed who today's lucky winner would be.

When everyone arrived at the warehouse, whose doors had already been opened, they found that their commander was already waiting there with the head maid.

"Commander, hurry up and take it out~"

"Yes, yes, Rob, let me see!"

Fushun and New Jersey, who already had mechs but loved to join in the fun, started urging Robo on as soon as they entered.

Shinano, who had never been here before, looked around the place with some curiosity.

Beside her, Noshiro appeared much more reserved, keeping her head down and not daring to look at her for more than a second.

"Alright, I won't keep you in suspense any longer."

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Rob didn't want to waste any more time and immediately took out Sebastian.

Compared to the flashing effects when other mechs appear, Cybuster's appearance is much softer.

However, a strong wind suddenly blew through the previously tightly closed warehouse, causing everyone to squint.

Then, a peculiar machine, pure white in color, seemingly wearing a layer of armor, with three pairs of curved wings on the back of its shoulders, appeared in the previously empty machine slot.

The moment this machine appeared, the people present immediately displayed two completely different reactions.

Richelieu and the others focused all their attention on Sebastian himself.

They carefully observed the machine, which seemed to have few weapons and equipment, trying to figure out how it primarily fought.

Meanwhile, Unicorn, Shinano, and the four smaller members of the Anshan-class all focused their attention on what was behind Cybuster.

There, there was a stunningly beautiful young woman with blue hair, dressed in a white dress.

The decorations on her head seemed to correspond strongly with the machine in front of her.

What's even more striking are her eyes, which have no pupils and are entirely blue.

Chapter 314: The Elf's Choice

"What a beautiful older sister..."

Although she looked somewhat strange, it was undeniable that in the eyes of the unicorns and the others, the girl who appeared with the mecha was quite beautiful.

The girl's face, though expressionless, still exuded a sense of tranquility, as if telling everyone that she was not of this world.

"Huh? What big sister?"

The unicorn's soft gasp caught the attention of Zhenhai, who was standing beside her.

She looked around and confirmed that there was no one else in the warehouse besides these people.

"Hey? Sister Zhenhai, didn't you see?"

Zhenhai's reaction surprised Anshan and the others a little.

Such a big person, floating right behind this machine, how come Zhenhai didn't see him?

"What do you see?"

For a moment, both those who saw it and those who didn't felt that the other party had a problem.

"Let's be quiet. I saw it too, and I guess it's normal for some people not to see it."

In Rob's eyes, the girl exists.

Although he didn't know why his ships were in two different situations, he could still guess a little.

The one who appeared with Sebastian was Sebastian's contracted spirit, Sephis.

He had just observed that Sephis's ships, more or less, all had a charlatan-like quality.

"As expected, only special people can see it, Miss Sephiroth."

Although he didn't know why he could see the elf, or whether the elf would respond to his greeting, Rob still greeted her.

As soon as Rob finished speaking, Sephis turned his head, his peculiar eyes fixed on Rob without moving.

Although he didn't speak, Rob knew that this was the elf's response.

"Now, everything is up to you. Please choose the ships here."

Regardless of whether the other person could understand him, Rob took a step back.

As Robo moved, Sephis floated out from behind Sebastian.

Then, she circled around Richelieu and the others.
