I, Laffey, am a good ship girl!

Only Kaga, the person involved, was a little confused.

Are the ship girls of Sakura Empire so united?

Several legendary ship girls gathered together, and their conversation did not avoid suspicion, which made the commanders around them prick up their ears.

An exercise between high-level legendary ship girls?

How come they haven’t heard about such a big thing?

Although they knew that the scale of this Alliance Fleet Review Ceremony was unprecedented and that many highly trained ship girls would participate in the exercises, the commanders had never thought that even the legendary ship girls with legendary names would participate.

After hearing the news, both trainee and official commanders were excited.

Even if there is no way to gain the favor of the legendary ship girls, it seems like a good idea to let your own ship girl see the battle between highly trained ship girls.

After all, only a few people know about the bet between the ship girls and the Sirens. Ordinary commanders are not qualified to know the truth. Sometimes knowing too much will only add to the troubles. When one is incompetent, no matter how much one struggles, it will be useless.

"Minister Warspite is waiting for you."

Nodding, Guanghui remembered that she seemed to have not told Shokaku, Zuikaku and the others the truth about this exercise. They thought that this exercise was just a competition between the legendary ship girls from the three major war zones: Donghuang, Sakura Empire and Northern Union.

It shouldn't matter, right?

Guanghui glanced at Kaga inconspicuously. After losing her past memories, Kaga was now no different from an ordinary new ship girl.

The only worry is that after seeing Lafite, Kaga will be stimulated and recall his past memories.

let it go.

Guanghui chose to believe the seal that Rafi had placed on Kaga's Mind Cube, and also believed that Kaga actually had no hatred towards Rafi.

She was just running away.

In fact, it is not only Rafi's soul network that seals Kaga's memory, but also Kaga's own. No matter how powerful Rafi is, the soul network infused into Kaga's mind cube is just water without roots and a tree without roots.

The one who truly sealed Kaga's memory was Kaga himself.

If one day Kaga is willing to move on from her past memories, she will be able to regain her strength without anyone's help.

Kaga felt a little awkward due to the enthusiasm of Kouki and Zuikaku.

Even though she was a legendary ship girl on the same level as Glory, Shokaku, and Zuikaku in the past, she now sees herself as just a new ship girl who has just been born.

Although some ship girls are born mature and are no different from gentle older sisters even when they are just born, their low training level is still low.

Even if you are a mature big sister who is 1.7 meters tall, if you cannot beat a destroyer that is three or four heads tall, you still have to respectfully call her "senior".

Fortunately, the legendary ship girls quickly changed the subject.

"Hey, where's Shiranui-senpai?"

Zuikaku was busy looking for Kaga, but when he turned around, he found that another senior of his was missing.

"Shiranui-senpai told me that she went to take a look around."

Although she is a destroyer girl, compared to most of the mentally immature destroyer girls of the Sakura Empire, she should be called a girl rather than a little girl.

Moreover, she was born earlier than Shokaku and Zuikaku, and is almost of the same generation as Kouki Kaga. In addition, as a legendary ship girl, no one would worry about her getting lost in an unfamiliar place.

But there is no need to worry, as several ship girls immediately deployed their soul networks.

then

I saw a black-haired girl with an expressionless face like a ghost, standing in front of a store, talking to a ship girl who was a little shorter than her.

"That is......"

Seeing the green-haired loli cat girl opposite Shiranui, whose soul network was no different in strength from that of a newly born ship girl, but who was talking to Shiranui while bargaining skillfully with the passing ship girl, a hint of surprise flashed in Glory's eyes.

"Akashi?"

She had seen the green-haired loli cat girl beside Rafi, who was a very rare maintenance ship girl, even rarer than White Eagle's female kitchen god.

However, although she is a ship girl, she surprisingly prefers doing business to fighting.

After hearing that an alliance fleet review ceremony was going to be held, she immediately found her two companions, and then went to find Rafi together, and Rafi found her.

The powerful senior is always unmotivated, but he is unexpectedly doting on the ship girl who follows him. Sister Laffey must give face to such a person.

So it was natural for Akashi to rent a shop at the harbor where the fleet review ceremony was held.

Shiranui, it seems like she and Akashi get along surprisingly well?

"Are you a shipgirl from the Sakura Empire?"

"Well, you can call me Mingmiao."

"what are you doing here."

"Opening shop meow!"

......

Chapter 73: Lafite's Akashi Shop

What appeared in front of Shiranui was a green-haired ship girl wearing a white school uniform and with long pigtails dragging on the ground. She looked like a lower grade elementary school student.

This young-looking ship girl was skillfully taking out various ship girl equipment, blueprints, and technology boxes to attract passing ship girls and commanders.

"Don't miss it if you pass by, meow!"

"This is Lafite's Akashi store, meow!"

"Various rare and super rare shipgirl equipment, if you're lucky you'll definitely get rare boxes with good equipment, various snacks, supplies and design drawings that shipgirls like... all on sale during the Alliance Fleet Viewing Ceremony, meow!"

"..."

It is not a rare thing for ship girls and commanders to open a shop. After all, they are only interested in it for a short time. A shop rented in the morning will be sold in the afternoon.

But most of the ship girls will not show such enthusiasm as the one in front of you when opening a shop, as if she is really selling things seriously.

Obviously just a newcomer...

With a hint of curiosity about Akashi, some ship girls stopped.

"Little guy, are you the only one in the store? Where are your parents?"

"Resting, meow!"

"Even if we're taking a break, we can't leave you alone outside."

"It's okay, this is what Akashi asked for, meow."

I don't mind having ship girls asking me about my affairs. Rather, I think this is a way to attract customers.

"Akashi can take care of himself. This is what Akashi likes to do. Big sister, is there anything you want to buy?"

"Well."

Facing Akashi's expectant gaze, the ship girl, who was asking out of curiosity, felt embarrassed to refuse.

If the boss is an ordinary human, then you can just smile and buy some cheap things to get by. But as a ship girl, isn't it normal to have 1.8 million Singapore dollars in your hand?

But if the boss lady is a ship girl, and a "destroyer girl" who was born not long ago and looks very young, she should at least show some courage as a senior.

"Then give me a better piece of equipment."

The ship girl with blonde hair and blue eyes with big waves rested her arms on her chest and touched her chin, looking thoughtful.

"Purple quality aviation auxiliary fuel tanks, hydraulic catapults, etc. If you don't have them, blue ones will do, but it's better to have reinforced ones."

After all, she is a ship girl with a training level of over 80, so ordinary equipment is definitely not acceptable to her. But how could something that is not even available in the ship girl branch, or has been distributed long ago, be available in a small shop like this roadside stall?

However, I still want to ask just in case. What if it really is true?

"Aviation auxiliary fuel tank, hydraulic catapult?"

Akashi thought about it for a moment, then showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"Big sis, are you a rare aircraft carrier girl, meow?"

"Hehe, even if you compliment me like this, if you can't give me something that satisfies me, then I won't buy it."

Having said that, the corners of Guangrong's mouth curled up unconsciously.

This is the effect you want!

As a senior ship girl, isn't the admiring expressions on the faces of the juniors what you want to see most?

Staying in the large fleet every day, there are basically ship girls with training levels above level 70. Although Koei feels that there are not many people in the entire fleet who can surpass him, there is still a glorious senior who everyone who sees will say "We respect you".

As both are aircraft carrier girls, Koei feels that she is a complete failure compared to Glory.

But from the eyes of the new ship girl in front of him, Koei felt that he had regained his confidence as a senior. Humph, don't look at her like this, she is also very strong.

Then Guangrong saw Akashi's embarrassed expression.

"Hmm~, there are no aviation auxiliary fuel tanks and hydraulic catapults here in Akashi.

 …”

Seeing Akashi's expression, Guangrong secretly cried out "Oh no!"

"Is that so? It doesn't matter if there isn't any."

Koei quickly waved her hands, thinking that she had gone too far and had dealt a blow to the confidence of her junior. If the ship girls she knew knew that she had actually pretended to be a senior in front of the new ship girl, she would definitely be laughed at for a while.

"Akashi doesn't have aviation auxiliary fuel tanks and hydraulic catapults, but there are other equipment, meow, which has been enhanced. Do you want to take a look, big sister?"

"...Then take a look."

He always felt like he had fallen into some kind of trap, but he couldn't put his finger on it. Guangrong felt that no matter how stupid he was, he wouldn't waste dozens of units of resources to buy a piece of equipment that he couldn't use, right?

Moreover, the ship girl in front of him was a genuine rookie ship girl. How could she possibly deceive her, a quasi-legendary ship girl whose training level had exceeded level 80?

"Because the big sister is a powerful aircraft carrier girl, she would definitely not look down on inferior equipment, so what Akashi took out is the best equipment in the Akashi store."

Akashi squatted down, rummaged in the cabinet under the counter, then stood on tiptoe and placed two purple glass balls in front of Koei.

The moment he saw the purple glass ball, Guangrong's heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, is she going to bleed profusely?

It would be fine if it was the kind of equipment that had no benefit to aircraft carriers and ship girls, but what I’m afraid of is the kind of equipment that is actually useless but seems to be somewhat useful.

For example, fuel filters, anti-aircraft devices and so on.

She is a carrier, what's the point of adding mobility and air defense? A carrier can only carry a few pieces of equipment, so of course the best steel should be used on the blade.

But if you say it's useless, it seems to be somewhat useful.

Seeing that more and more ship girls were gathering together, including a few acquaintances, Koei felt that he was now in a dilemma.

'Not such a mess of equipment, not such a mess of equipment!'

Koei secretly prayed in his heart, if it really didn't work, he would just bite the bullet and buy it, and exchange it with a destroyer girl or light cruiser girl he knew.

"It's the anti-torpedo compartment and the improved boiler, meow."

Akashi finally told Guangrong what kind of equipment he had taken out.

"The anti-torpedo bulkhead has been strengthened three times, and the improved boiler has been strengthened six times. Akashi thinks that these two pieces of equipment are very suitable for you, big sister."

I recalled what Big Sister Lafite had said to me before I opened the store. If I wanted to sell a product, it was useless to just brag about its effects. The most important thing was to create demand for different customers.

"Big sis, you must be a very powerful carrier-girl. Then, Big sis, you must often support other carrier-girls or the port area. At this time, Akashi's improved boiler can help you and allow you to reach your destination faster."

Akashi's words made Guangrong's heart move, because Akashi was right. As a ship girl belonging to the Glorious Fleet, running thousands of miles to support the front line was a common thing.

Many times, time is life. The appearance of Siren comes without any warning, and most of the time, the faster vanguard ship girls can only take the lead.

Although the improved boiler cannot directly improve combat effectiveness, it can reach the battlefield faster and provide support to companions faster, which is more important than improving combat effectiveness.

"And this anti-torpedo bulkhead, meow."

Akashi's voice made Koei turn his gaze to the purple glass ball next to the improved boiler.

"Akashi heard that a new type of siren has appeared on the battlefield. It can lurk in the water and attack our ship girls."

Although it is unknown where Akashi, a new ship girl, heard the news about the Siren submarine, Akashi's words were just the beginning. As a quasi-legendary ship girl, with her combat intuition, we know what Akashi wants to say next.

"Because there are few means to counter the Sirens now, so Akashi is thinking that if we install anti-torpedo compartments in our equipment, we won't suffer serious injuries even if we are attacked by a Sirens submarine."

Games are games, reality is reality.

In the game, you cannot change equipment during battle, but in reality, any ship girl with a higher level of experience can do it, but not too frequently.

With Koei's level of training, changing equipment once or twice in a short period of time will not cause any burden to the Mind Cube at all. If the improved boiler and anti-torpedo bulkhead are used normally, and then switched to equipment that can increase combat power when needed, there will be no problem at all.
