I, Laffey, am a good ship girl!

"Excuse me......"

After making sure that neither Awesome nor Victory would attack, Glory finally asked.

"Can I ask what happened?"

"What do reputation META and counter META mean?"

.........

Chapter 118 Target

"......META, Embers!"

Raffi didn't expect that even the META ship girl of Ember would get involved.

"Sister Rafi, do you know what the Siren said?"

The voice of Royal Ark came from his mind, and Rafi nodded.

"Well, I know."

“When the nature of things changes towards META, this process is called METAization. The so-called META is actually a trend and also a nature.”

"If the Mind Cube becomes META, a META Shipgirl will be born."

However, this is just the most common explanation, which is equivalent to Einstein's mass-energy equation for making an atomic bomb. Everyone who has studied physics knows it, but if you ask how to make an atomic bomb, I'll roll my eyes at you.

"Well, if I must say, Prince of Wales should be considered a META-ized ship girl, and these mirror ship girls who are fighting with us are more or less in a META state."

"But the METAization of the Mind Cube and the METAization of the KanColle are different."

"Rafi doesn't know the exact difference either."

All of Rafi's knowledge of META ship girls comes from another world, but he cannot guarantee whether the knowledge from another world can be applied in this world.

"So, what is the situation now?"

"You should ask them about this."

Rafi turned around and looked at the ship girl whose neck he had pointed his great sword at.

"Should we continue to fight?"

It would have been fine if Laffey didn't say anything, but after she said it, the mirror ship girl couldn't hold it anymore.

"We should be the ones asking you this question!"

There were six ship girls on the sea pointing their weapons at Laffite, while Laffite put her greatsword on Akagi's neck.

Since this is only Rafi's mental body, Rafi is not worried.

It only took her less than a second to deploy her ship suit, sink Akagi, and then remove her ship suit and return to her own ship.

As long as her hull and her mind are in an unstable state of disunity, the actions of the mirrored ship girls will not be affected.

The method poses a threat to her.

Of course, such a method can only be used once, and the mirror ship girls will not be fooled next time.

Use your own ship to attract the attention of the mirror ship girls, and then the mental body dives with the Warspite Greatsword and sneaks up on the lone mirror ship girl.

The reason for choosing Akagi is because she is the most troublesome aircraft carrier girl.

And she was busted.

As long as the aircraft carrier girl is dealt with, none of the remaining girl will be faster than her. Whether fighting or running away, the initiative is in her hands.

This is the only chance, so Lafite asked:

Should we continue to fight?

"Haha, personally, I certainly don't want to continue fighting."

Raising her hands, Akagi looked down at the petite ship girl in front of her who was not even as tall as her chest. She knew very well that if she made any rash moves, the big sword at her neck would cut off her head.

Already in a state of great devastation, Akagi didn't think she had the ability to withstand Laffi's close attack, and she didn't want to retreat so soon.

"Since it is the order of the 'Master', we will naturally obey it."

Helena's tone was cold.

"But if you want to continue fighting, we will certainly accompany you to the end."

They were enemies just a few minutes ago. Neither Laffey nor the Mirror Ship Girl could relax their vigilance immediately. How could they give up their hostility just because of a word from the Purifier?

"But, is the META ship girl you mentioned very strong?"

When Laffite was talking to the Royal Ark just now, he did not avoid the mirror ship girls around him, so Helena speculated that Laffite must know more about the mirror ship girls than them.

"The Embers, which is made up of META ship girls, is an organization that is no less powerful than the Sirens. That's all Laffy knows."

According to the information Raffi knew, the META ship girl organization had the powerful strength to compete with the entire Siren organization, and even broke into the Sirens' lair at one point.

You know, the Siren that META is fighting against is not the mass-produced individuals they see now, but at least they are beings that can exert their full strength.

Although they failed in the end, this shows how powerful META Ship Girls are.

And now, there are two META ship girls here?

Raffi didn't know whether this was good or bad. Although the Purifiers wanted them to join forces with the Mirror Ship Girls, as far as Raffi knew, the META Ship Girls had no ill feelings towards ordinary Ship Girls.

"So complicated."

With a mutter, no matter what, the META ship girls at least would not stand on the side of the Siren, so there was no need to worry about the mirror ship girls and the META ship girls joining forces.

Let the mirror ship girl fight against the META ship girl, and then reap the benefits?

It's not that there isn't such an option.

"Then this time, Lafite will let you go."

Rafi retracted the sword he had placed on Akagi's neck, and his mind body began to dissipate.

"By the way, if Laffite were you, you wouldn't think of going against those two META ship girls. You just need to imagine them as two opponents who are stronger than Laffite. You can't win."

Even if a single mirror ship girl's strength is increased to the limit, her strength is at most comparable to that of mass-produced individuals like the Purifiers.

However, the META ship girls can go head-on with the complete forms of the Purifiers.

So Lafite just treated the Purifier's words as fart.

She didn't want to fight with those META ship girls. While the Purifiers were holding back two META ship girls, she quickly found the others and left the Mirror Sea together.

With the META ship girls around, Siren probably doesn't have the energy to pay attention to them.

Rafi thought optimistically.

Overall, the emergence of META Shipgirls has more advantages than disadvantages...

It's too late to say.

Even Lafite had never thought that his reaction speed could be so fast.

There was no warning.

Even the soul network didn't notice any changes.

Lafite just felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what exactly was wrong.

The next moment, she completely moved her ship.

Unfold the ship's outfit.

"Wouldn't it be nice to just end it like this?"

Rafi seemed to hear such a sigh.

boom!

A dark golden figure fell from the sky, like a giant blade hanging in the sky, slashing from top to bottom, with a terrifying impact like a sword energy.

At the location where the Lafite ship was originally located, even the sea seemed to be split into two.

"Royal Ark!"

There was no time to think about the Ark Royal.

Because another figure had appeared in front of her, Lafite only had time to put the big sword of War-weariness in front of her, and then a huge force came and the whole person was knocked away.

“He actually accepted it.”

There was a hint of surprise in his tone. He had thought that a sneak attack would quickly get rid of Lafite, but as the target this time, it was not that easy.

Exuding a sharp aura, the blonde and blue-eyed ship girl appeared at Lafite's original position, holding two long swords, one wide and one narrow.

"who!?"

It was not until this time that the surrounding mirror ship girls reacted.

"Siren's space teleportation?"

"who is she?"

"Is she on our side?"

"..."

Because the blonde and blue-eyed ship girl attacked Laffey, the mirror ship girls had such speculation, but their speculation was denied the next second.

"I'm sorry, but we are not like forgeries like you."

The blond shipgirl grinned.

"Didn't the guy who created you say that you only have two choices from now on, either kill us or be killed by us!"

Having said that, all the mirror ship girls understood.

META Ship Girl!

"You can call me Reputation!"

The moment he finished speaking, Renown·META turned around and swung the sword in his hand, and the sharp sword energy almost brushed past Akagi's head.

The reason why it didn't hit.

"I thought you were going to run away!"

He blocked Rafi's attack with one hand using the narrower long sword in his hand, and the reputation META, who was attracted by the attack, smiled at Rafi.

"Rafi won't run away!"

He chose to counterattack immediately, swinging his greatsword and colliding with Reputation·META, Rafi said loudly.

Actually I want to run!

Although it was a sneak attack, since Lafite reacted, it can't be considered a sneak attack.

One-handed slash and two-handed parry.

The loser is Lafite.

Then the strengths and weaknesses are obvious.

Once again, Lafite met an opponent whom he had no way to fight head-on.

So Rafi wanted to run.

When you meet an opponent you cannot defeat, of course the best strategy is to retreat.

The premise is that you are not the other party's target.

"Rafi, can I ask, as a META, why did you attack me?"

"Oh?"

He blocked Lafite's blow with one hand, and looked at Lafite with an interested expression on his face.

"Shouldn't we be asking you this?"

"You are just an empty shell."

“Why can the soul be born?”

Reputation META's words caused a huge uproar in Lafite's heart, and Lafite could no longer remain calm.

Because this almost touches upon the most essential secret of Lafite.

"Forget it. No matter how you, as an empty shell, developed self-awareness, it cannot be changed. Your existence will affect the current Sirens, and ultimately us."
