I, Laffey, am a good ship girl!

She lived up to everyone's expectations.

Until the very end of the battle, she still failed to break through that damn defensive force field.

The entire fleet was abandoned. This was the final decision made by humans.

The mission to drive the Sirens out of the inland sea was successful, but as the leader of the fleet, he failed.

If the commander had been able to retreat and join the other two fleets the moment he encountered the Purifiers, then none of this might have happened.

Three large fleets and more than a dozen legendary ship girls, even the existence of the Purifier had to retreat.

The news of the fleet's destruction did not spread, because humans could not lose confidence in fighting the Sirens.

However, the commander was labeled as "incompetent" and "reckless" by some people.

It was obviously not him who was wrong, but myself.

Kaga knew very well that at the moment before the war, the man had asked him whether he could defeat the other party.

It was also a large fleet, and even if the opponent was an intelligent Siren, Kaga was confident that he could hold the opponent back.

Therefore, it was not the commander but her who misjudged the difference in strength between the two sides and destroyed the entire fleet!

But why, why should I bear all this for her?

[The dead don't worry about being pointed at. We finally defeated her, didn't we? ]

I saw the sinking and floating ships around me and the wreckage all over the ground, not only those of the Sirens, but also those of the Ship Girls.

It cost the lives of dozens of ship girls and the commander's life, but in the end all he got was a sentence "I'm tired of playing, I'm going back", and he failed to even break the enemy's defense field.

Can such an outcome really be called a victory?

[Really? Don't cry. It won't look good if you cry. ]

The boss, who had become an old man, smiled and wiped away the tears from Kaga's eyes.

[Live well, the world is big and vast, one day, you will meet someone who can bring you happiness. ]

【And I should go and accompany them. 】

Commander Wu

Feng was born in the third year of the new calendar and died in the fortieth year of the new calendar. He experienced 1,126 battles of various sizes in his life and was posthumously awarded the rank of general.

Kaga is not a port-area ship girl, because the port area she wanted to join had already been destroyed.

She is not a free ship girl either, because from that day on, she will never be anyone's ship girl again.

Her heart was filled with only one thought: the urge for revenge.

So, was she wrong?

He watched the Purifier leave Z36 on the shore and dive into the water alone, with half of the carrier-based aircraft still circling in the sky, but Kaga no longer had the desire to give chase.

The fox girl, as cool as snow, leaned against the huge white fox and closed her eyes.

She is tired.

ps: That’s all for today, nearly 6,000 words. I’ll try to keep it up in the future.

Actually, I changed departments this week to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which is relatively busy, so I have more free time.

The update times in the future will be roughly in the evening, noon, and evening, corresponding to the department's paid shifts, night shifts, and off-duty shifts respectively.

The paid shift is from 8am to 12pm, and then from 2:30pm to 6pm. The night shift is unchanged in the morning, from 6pm to 9:30pm. The duty shift means working only in the morning, and taking the afternoon and evening off.

Today is a day off. I had been thinking that I would work hard on writing in the afternoon and not be lazy anymore. But as soon as I finished my meal, I fell into bed and slept until six o'clock.

The update will be in the evening tomorrow, ranging from 2,000 to 6,000. This is the best I can usually do.

There may be more updates during the holiday, but I’m not sure about the details, I can only say I’ll try my best.

I'm really sorry for having postponed it for so long. I'd like to thank my book friends who have always supported me, and thank you to Orange Mom for never giving up and still recommending books to me - even though I postponed it the last time.

That’s all for today, good night everyone.

Chapter 25: Aftermath

The hot air flow burned Rafi's respiratory tract. If it were an ordinary little girl, she would probably have been burned.

The sand and rocks melted by high temperatures reflect dazzling light like glass under the afterglow of the setting sun.

After Kaga stopped attacking, Rafi immediately broke free from San Juan's arms and ran towards the Z36 that was placed on the shore by the Purifier.

The Purifiers are not stupid, they just have learned too little. Just like children, they are unable to systematically analyze more complicated things.

She understood that Kaga's target was herself, and if she left Z36 on the shore, Kaga would definitely not continue to attack Z36.

Rafi guessed that Kaga might have fought with the Purifiers in the past, and because he lost important companions and relatives, he showed such a crazy side after seeing the Purifiers.

Rafi can understand, but will not agree with it.

Because she was not the one who was injured, because she was not the one who lost her companions and relatives.

Even though he could feel Kaga's inner pain through the connection of the soul network, Rafi still made his own choice.

She is not kind enough to sympathize with her "enemy".

Even if Kaga is a ship girl, the moment she launched an attack on the Purifier and Z36, she had already become Laffey's enemy.

While Lafite checked Z36's injuries, he did not relax his vigilance against Kaga.

She knew very well that Kaga was not without the strength to fight again. Even though one third of its carrier-based aircraft had been shot down, Kaga still had more than fifty aircraft hovering above their heads.

If Kaga's carrier-based aircraft were a little further away from the ground, they would not have been directly hit by Aurora's artillery fire just now. It was simply because they were flying too densely.

As a legendary ship girl, couldn't Kaga consider this? Didn't she think about the possibility of her carrier-based aircraft being bombarded?

Probably thought about it.

But distance means errors. Once the bombs fall into the buildings on both sides of the street, they will definitely cause devastating damage. If the bombing of carrier-based aircraft is not dense enough, it will not be able to break the defense of the Purifiers.

In fact, after bombing for several minutes, except for the first round of surprise attack, the Purifier's defense field seemed shaky, but it persisted tenaciously during the bombing until Rafi thought of a way to deal with those carrier-based aircraft.

Perhaps this is why Kaga is in despair, because she sees no hope and no possibility of defeating the Purifier.

Even if Lafite didn't come to stop her and Aurora didn't shoot down her carrier-based aircraft, who could guarantee that after the defense field was penetrated, the Purifier would not suddenly go berserk and show its true strength?

What she didn't do ten years ago, she still hasn't done ten years later.

In that case, what's the point in continuing to pester her?

It's nothing more than the impotent rage of a loser, venting his emotions on innocent people.

So, enough is enough, I don't want to fight anymore.

She's tired of it.

The sound of carrier-based aircraft breaking through the air while flying rang beside Kaga's ears. She looked up at the sky and saw a group of black aircraft coming like a dark cloud. A carrier-based aircraft belonging to another legendary ship girl broke through the sunset and arrived late.

Seeing this scene, Kaga knew that even if she didn't give up, she would not be able to continue her revenge.

......

"GuluGulu~"

Half of its head emerged from the water. The purifier, with electricity leaking from its forehead, was blowing bubbles in the water and looking cautiously toward the sky.

To be honest, she couldn't really tell the difference between carrier-based aircraft and aircraft. In her eyes, aircraft

All the machines look the same.

[If those planes come to bomb you again, just dive into the water and leave the rest to Rafi.]

The Purifier faithfully followed Rafi's instructions. In her opinion, it would be right to listen to the commander.

As for the injuries on her body, she didn't really care about them, because sirens had no sense of pain. Since she didn't feel any pain, they should be minor injuries that were no big deal.

The Purifier was more worried about Z36 on the shore than his own injuries. After spending a few days together, the Purifier had already regarded the other party as his own friend.

Although the commander said it was okay, it must be painful since I was bleeding.

After all, why did that ship girl named Kaga attack her? Did she do something wrong?

The Purifier couldn't figure it out.

Don't think about things you don't understand, just leave it to the commander.

The Purifier couldn't recognize the ownership of the carrier-based aircraft, but Rafi, who had been on the fleet for a few days, could tell it at a glance.

This is a glorious carrier-based aircraft.

Dozens of fighter jets were galloping towards the group's location at the fastest speed. It was estimated that they had been rushing here non-stop as soon as they received the intelligence.

As the legendary ship girl of Amami Castle, Glory knows Kaga's strength. If one were to rank the legendary ship girls of Amami Castle, the strongest one would definitely be Warspite, there is no doubt about that.

Then there was her, Prince Eugen, and Kaga.

In fact, Aurora's training level is not lower than the other three. It's just that compared with the light cruiser girls, heavy cruiser girls, and main battleship girls like them, she is still a little bit behind.

Among the three, Kaga has the strongest desire to win. If it weren't a battle with their lives at stake, neither she nor Prince Eugen would have been able to defeat Kaga.

So in the initial incident, it was she and War-Yan who worked together to subdue the runaway Kaga.

Although the impact of that incident was not small, it was ultimately an internal dispute between the ship girls and the commander, and did not involve ordinary people.

But this time it was different. Kaga's behavior had seriously affected the order of Tianhai City. The air defense alarm sounded for a full ten minutes. With so many witnesses and material evidence, this was no longer an incident that could be covered up by saying it was an air defense drill.

Barely standing on her own carrier-based aircraft, the strong wind blew through her long gauze-like skirt, and a look of worry appeared on Guanghui's face.

"Kaga, do you really know what you are doing?"

No matter what Kaga encountered, deploying the ship in the urban area without reporting and bombing it with bombers violated the regulations that ship girls need to abide by.

In non-wartime, ship girls are not allowed to deploy their ship equipment anywhere other than their own port areas and training grounds in principle.

This regulation must be followed not only by ordinary ship girls, but also by legendary ship girls. Even for her, if she wants to fly carrier-based aircraft in the urban area, she must apply to the gendarmerie in advance for approval.

"But, it seemed like something just passed over my head. When I applied, I could hear some commotion at the gendarmerie. What happened?"

Guanghui frowned his beautiful eyebrows. There are two legendary ship girls there now. It is impossible for any accidents to happen, right?

Just then, Rafi's lazy voice suddenly sounded in her mind.

"Is it Sister Guanghui who is here? Anyway, let's listen to Lafei's explanation first."

"Ok?"

Guanghui was a little surprised to hear the voice in her mind. She didn't know why Rafi appeared here.

On the ground, Lafite looked a little listless. He originally just wanted two guards to take him back to Ningchuan, so why did he encounter this kind of thing?

If she were to take two Purifiers with her to open Tianhai City, it wouldn't matter whether the Purifiers were Ship Girls or Sirens, as all the responsibilities would naturally be borne by her alone.

But now, Kaga has gone berserk and half of the street has been destroyed. This is no longer a problem that can be solved by simply admitting the mistake and apologizing.

"So complicated."

Yawning, Rafi rubbed his eyes, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and muttered softly.

......

ps: I'm going to bed now. The next chapter will probably be tomorrow afternoon.

Chapter 26: Rafi: I won’t pretend anymore!

The reason why Kaga stopped attacking was not because of any complicated reason, but because she realized that she could not defeat the Purifier, just like even if the Purifier did not resist, she still could not break the Purifier's defense.

As for the injuries caused by the first round of sneak attacks, Kaga was very doubtful whether they were caused by herself. It was like a piece of broken porcelain glued together, and she just happened to hit the tiny cracks.

So, Kaga gave up.

If sacrificing one's life could defeat the enemy, Kaga would not hesitate at all.

However, if she gave up everything and couldn't even penetrate the enemy's armor, then there was no point in what she did.

She just calmly watched the glorious carrier-based aircraft stop on the open space by the river. The ship girl, who was full of maternal radiance, stood on it with her skirt lifted up, a distressed expression on her face.

"Um, can anyone help me?"

The slender torso supports the plump bust, and the towering bridge stands out from the crowd, overlooking the mountains and making them seem small.

Fortunately, there was San Juan standing next to her, and she, who had always had no sense of presence, finally had a place to use her skills. She quickly ran over and took over the glory.
