I, Laffey, am a good ship girl!

The fleet that attacked had more than fifty ships, but less than thirty returned.

The damage to the mass-produced battleship is insignificant; what matters is the person leading the battleship.

"The enemy is very strong?"

Hearing the blonde's question, the 'Royal Ark' glanced at her, recalled the image of the young girl galloping on the sea, and nodded.

"Yeah, very strong."

She spoke very slowly, as if she had put in all her effort just to say these three words.

Even if it happened only a few dozen minutes ago, all that remained in her mind were intermittent images.

But she still remembered the moment when the little girl rushed in front of her, and she hesitated for a moment when facing her enemy and her cannon.

At that moment, she seized the opportunity, injured the opponent, and escaped under the protection of the Siren fleet.

There was a chance to defeat her, there was a chance to bury her in that dark sea.

Why didn't you kill her?

'Royal Ark' didn't understand. Her remaining intelligence no longer allowed her to think about such complicated things.

Apart from the instinct to fight, she had forgotten everything else.

"Solomon's...god of war."

After uttering these words, the 'Royal Ark' headed towards the island behind the blonde ship girl.

If she was injured, she could recover by absorbing resources. She had not forgotten this.

Watching the back of the 'Royal Ark' staggering away, the blonde ship girl looked up at the sky. In this sea ruled by the Sirens, there was no sunrise, no sunset, only endless night.

And they are phantoms born in the darkness, with no past and no future. They can only go back and forth again and again, repeating their predetermined fate.

The mind cube that constitutes their existence is collapsing, losing emotions, losing memories, and finally, they are about to forget even their own names.

Does she remember what her own name is?

"Wei..."

The blonde ship girl opened her mouth, but found that the name she repeated every day had become as vague as smoke that would dissipate with a puff of wind.

"Prince of Wales, watch out!"

The girl's cheerful voice came from the other side, and a stone flew over like a bullet. It would definitely make a hole if it hit a person, but it was easily caught by the Prince of Wales.

"...Fight back, don't throw rocks next time, it's dangerous."

The blond ship girl, Prince of Wales, said in a calm tone.

"What does it matter? You're a ship girl anyway, there's no way they can hurt you."

The girl with brown hair and belly-baring clothes giggled.

Seeing the burn marks on Fanguo's body, the Prince of Wales frowned slightly: "Did someone from outside hurt you?"

The left hand that was injured by the explosion was bleeding profusely, and the muzzle of the ship's armor was completely rolled over, with the armor covered with horrible cracks.

"It's nothing, it's just a tear in the ship's armor. The kid on the other side is in a much worse situation than me."

He counterattacked and swung his intact right hand, laughing, as if he was not the one who was injured.

The Prince of Wales was silent for a moment, then said, "Don't be so reckless next time."

"What does it matter? After all, we can be resurrected even if we die, right?"

The empty look in her eyes made the Prince of Wales feel pained, but what could she do?

, what can she do? How can a creature rebel against its creator?

"Don't put pressure on yourself. It's not necessarily a bad thing to forget everything."

He tried to raise his left hand, but when he was halfway up, he realized that his hand was broken.

The half-raised arm was twisted irregularly. Counterattack looked at his arm and a tear suddenly slipped from his eye.

The Prince of Wales jumped off the reef and hugged his wife tightly, looking at the gray sky with tears falling from his eyes.

"It hurts... It hurts so much when the shells hit my body... Prince of Wales, can you please stop fighting? It hurts so much!"

It was as if the pain that had been accumulated until this moment suddenly burst out, and big tears rolled down from Counterattack's eyes.

She didn't want to fight anymore. She really didn't want to fight anymore. Why did a ship girl have to fight? Was it because they were just replicas? Was it because they were just fakes that could be resurrected again and again?

She shouldn't be afraid. As a royal veteran, carrying the royal glory of the warship, how could she retreat when facing a battle?

But where exactly is the Royal Family?

What is the meaning of the glory she carries?

She doesn’t know!

Holding the girl tightly in his arms and crying, the Prince of Wales' burgundy pupils became deeper and deeper.

She had long forgotten what the meaning of her existence was.

But she will protect all of this, she will protect her companions!

She will never experience the pain of losing her companions again, no matter what kind of enemy she has to face, no matter what price she has to pay!

......

On the other side, after meeting up with Wichita, Nagashima was shocked to see Wichita's miserable appearance.

"Wichita, how could someone hurt you like this!?"

Her skin, which was originally as smooth and white as milk, was covered with scorch marks caused by shells. One of the ship's guns was completely paralyzed. Her long red hair was scattered on her body in a messy manner. One of her eyes was closed because she had lost her sight due to the shells.

Even for a ship girl, this was a serious injury that put her on the verge of sinking.

All this happened in less than an hour since they entered the mirror sea.

A heavy cruiser famous for its thick armor and high durability was damaged like this in just one hour. Even the Siren could not do it.

"I underestimated that guy's strength, but next time, I won't lose again."

Wichita clenched his fists and smiled forcefully.

She had just entered the Mirror Sea and had suffered such a heavy blow. If she hadn't had several quasi-legendary ship girls above level 80 around her, she probably wouldn't have been able to appear here.

But this did not dampen Wichita's enthusiasm. Ship girls are creatures that continue to grow in battle. How could a ship girl be afraid of pain?

I just boasted that I would conquer this sea area. How can I give up just because of this little bit of pain?

......

Although they are both ship girls, they show two completely different emotions.

The person who was controlling the overall situation in secret and watching what was happening scene after scene smiled with interest.

"Although there were some unexpected factors, the variables were still within the controllable range."

"Destruction and degeneration, progress and growth, what kind of sparks will the collision of two completely different emotions produce?"

"Haha, things are finally getting interesting."

......

Chapter 83: Let me tell you, this is allowed by law!

Wichita was injured, and several ship girls in the team of ship girls she brought also suffered varying degrees of damage.

The only team with intact combat effectiveness was the team led by Nagashima, sent by the KanColle branch in Ningchuan City.

Under normal circumstances, it would take several days for a highly trained heavy cruiser to repair severe damage even with sufficient resources.

However, this time, due to strategic needs, Wichita's team brought emergency repair equipment that could repair the ship's injuries, commonly known as damage control.

Even a legendary ship girl like Wichita only brought three sets of strategic materials like this. Although it was impossible to completely repair Wichita's injuries, it could help her recover from severe damage to moderate damage.

The two teams of ship girls from the Ningchuan City Ship Girl Branch and the front line sorted out the information and felt a little heavy.

Siren ship girls or mirror ship girls created by Sirens will also appear in ordinary mirror seas, but their training level is generally not very high.

They had not expected that two legendary mirror-image ship girls would appear at the same time in a mirror sea.

Mirror ship girls have no emotions and are simply replicas of ship girls created by the Sirens. Even if they are sunk, they cannot be said to be cold-blooded.

For the ship girls, even if they were once companions, once they become enemies, no matter how painful it is, they have to fight.

What's more, the mirror ship girl has no emotions. She should attack when it is time to attack. Hesitation will only lead to defeat.

The mirror ship girls they have encountered so far include Mirror Royal Ark and Mirror Counterattack, two ship girls that originally belonged to the Royal camp.

Speaking of the Mirror Royal Ark, a group of ship girls couldn't help but look at their Royal Ark.

While holding a combat meeting, his eyes kept looking in the direction of the loli destroyer girls such as Laffey, Ayanami and Shigure.

After being stepped on by Sheffield, Royal Ark cried out in pain, turned around, and said with a wry smile: "You guys continue, you guys continue."

If the enemy only has two legendary ship girls, they have three including Laffey. Even if they face an entire Siren Combined Fleet, they are not without the ability to fight.

The two teams of ship girls together, plus Laffey, Ayanami, Shigure and a Z46 who can't be said to have combat power, there are exactly thirty ship girls.

Among them, there are twelve ship girls whose numbers are broken into three levels.

The question is, in addition to the Mirror Royal Ark and Mirror Counterattack, is there a third mirror ship girl or Siren?

Waiting for support is impossible. The Mirror Sea cuts off communications with the outside world. If we want the outside world to realize that something is wrong and send out a ship girl to ask for help, it may take a week before there is hope.

After all, the Mirror Sea can be regarded as a large-scale strategy copy. It is normal to spend several days to complete the strategy from scratch.

Moreover, two legendary ship girls have been dispatched. If we ask the front-line headquarters for more people in a short period of time, it will probably be difficult to spare any manpower.

The ones who discussed the strategy were the highly trained ship girls, led by Long Island and Wichita. They were familiar with the conditions in the Mirror Sea and could come up with the most correct strategy in the shortest time.

Although they also invited Rafi, who was at level 100, Rafi shook his head and refused.

"Rafi isn't good at thinking about these things, so it's up to you guys to decide."

The existence of Lafite is the confidence for Long Island and Wichita to carry on with their strategy.

Being able to defeat the Mirror Royal Ark single-handedly is enough to show Rafi's strength.

While Long Island and Wichita were discussing strategies, Lafite installed a maintenance device on himself and picked up a bucket of oil and poured it into his mouth.

Although the injury was not serious, Rafi's ammunition had almost been used up in the previous battle.

When the firepower is at full blast, the rate at which ammunition is consumed doubles.

"Wooooooooooooooo, Rafi, I'm so glad you're okay."

Shi Yu cried loudly, and Doghead hugged Lafite and rubbed her head. Lafite did not give her the same treatment as the Royal Ark.

Ayanami stood aside with a faint smile.

Finally, it was Z46 who looked at Lafite with his orange-yellow eyes and said calmly, "You kept your promise and came back. So, I will also keep my promise and stay by your side."

"Hey, by always being by your side, does that mean eating and sleeping together?"

Shigure raised his head, but was pressed down again by Ayanami.

"Why not?"

Z46's answer was clear and concise, without any hesitation.

"Is there any rule that forbids the relationship between ship girls? We are all ship girls, we are all children. Even if we walk hand in hand on the forest path with maple leaves flying, embrace each other in the dusk and sunset, and rely on each other to express our feelings, no one will say anything."

"Will someone accuse you of being shameless just because they saw you and Ayanami sitting together in the cafeteria and feeding each other?"

Z46 pointed the finger at Shi Yu, leaving Doghead confused, as if that was the truth.

When she and Ayanami were eating in the cafeteria, she took meat from Ayanami's bowl and stuffed green peppers into Ayanami's mouth, and no one ever said anything to them.

Although he was chased by Ayanami with a ship-cutting sword for the whole afternoon afterwards.

Z46's eyes were calm, and her cute little round face was sincere and serious: "Pride and Prejudice, a ship girl must have a commander, and a ship girl must like a commander. Who stipulated this? No one can decide my color, except the one I love."

Even if a ship girl in the port area is built by the commander, it may not become a wedding ship in the end.

Who can say for sure about things like liking someone?

Family, friendship, and love, there is always more than one way to develop bonds between KanColle.

Compared with the entanglement of the flesh, the idealistic ship girls yearn for the beauty of abandoning the flesh and pursuing the truth.

Just standing beside the loved one, giving quietly, waiting silently, not hoping to get closer, nor praying to possess, even though you know there will be no result at all, but still obsessed and unrepentant.
