Azur Lane: The Azure Life of the Tragic Admiral

"Belfast, do you know who those two are?"

Yang Sikang raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Akagi Kaga. Belfast knew that he was referring to the two ship girls wrapped in black fog, but she could only shake her head.

Yang Sikang smiled and said softly:

"They are also the First Carrier. Akagi is on the left, and Kaga is on the right."

Belfast's eyes suddenly widened, while Dafeng on the other side had an expression of disbelief on her face for an instant.

However, Belfast had heard from Yang Sikang about his previous identity, so he quickly understood.

"Those two are Akagi and Kaga from your previous world, right?"

"That's right. Although they used black fog to cover their bodies, some things can't be hidden. Especially their carrier-based aircraft, which I participated in the research and development of the whole process. It's a pity..."

Yang Sikang sighed, shook his head and didn't continue.

Belfast did not ask any further questions, but Dafeng on the other side had become extremely curious.

Yang Sikang turned to look at Dafeng and smiled slightly:

"Wait a little longer. When Akagi and Kaga come back, I will answer your questions."

Dafeng suppressed her curiosity.

After more than ten minutes, the four people over there finally separated.

Together with the two people on the other side, the four ship girls wrapped in black fog reluctantly left the sea area and gradually disappeared below the sea level.

Just as they appeared, they slowly walked into the sea instead of leaving like normal ships.

Akagi and Kaga returned here, but after arriving on the deck, both of them looked a little unnatural.

Yang Sikang didn’t know what they talked about with Akagi Kaga over there, but he didn’t want to ask.

Akagi and Kaga were silent for a long time, and finally Kaga came over first.

All along, Kaga just followed behind Akagi and had almost no direct communication with Yang Sikang.

On the one hand, it is due to Akagi's own strength, and on the other hand, it is also because Kaga himself does not like to communicate with others.

Her personal creed can be summed up in four words: the survival of the fittest.

Yang Sikang looked at Kaga in front of him and felt a little complicated.

Kaga was a ship girl that should have disappeared, but the dismantling of Amagi allowed her to continue to exist.

Although it was transformed from a battleship into an aircraft carrier, and although it formed a bond with Akagi, Kaga had a strong obsession with power after Amagi's death in exchange for her survival.

Whether it is for Akagi or Kaga, Amagi's dismantling is the fundamental reason for their current personalities. Therefore, Amagi is also the best answer when dealing with the two of them.

But Yang Sikang believes that the best answer may not be the best result.

Kaga looked at the man in front of him with equally complicated feelings.

Before he came to Sakura Empire, she didn't take this man seriously at all.

Even though Akagi had made many arrangements for this man, in her opinion it was just a powerful hunter playing with his prey.

She and Akagi are hunters, and have always been like this.

However, as time went by, the situation gradually developed to the present day, and the identities of the hunter and the hunted finally became clear. But by the time she realized that the identities of the hunter and the hunted had long been reversed, it was too late.

It's too late, just like before...

She opened her mouth, but swallowed the words back.

For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

Chapter 274 Their identities, two different worlds

Yang Sikang saw Kaga's hesitation, and Akagi saw it too.

She sighed, walked over and stood in front of Kaga, looking straight into Yang Sikang's eyes.

"Mr. Yang Sikang, who are those two people?"

"Didn't they tell you? Or didn't you realize it?"

"I want to hear it from you."

Yang Sikang smiled, exhaled slowly, sorted out his mood, and then said:

"First Carrier Battle, Akagi, Kaga."

Akagi was silent for a few seconds and then said:

"But I don't have the relevant knowledge or memory."

"Of course."

Yang Sikang smiled and said:

"Because they are not the ship girls of this world."

He stood up, looked into Akagi's eyes, and said:

"Akagi, what is my origin?"

Chicheng frowned slightly. She was not used to Yang Sikang's sudden approach to her, but she did not step back.

She had read Yang Sikang's information countless times, so naturally she had memorized it in her head.

"The records say that you were rescued by the White Eagle's USS Cleveland from the outer waters of the destroyed QX-306 port area, but there is no information about you before that. And the deeper information says... you are suspected to be from another world."

"There is no doubt. I just come from another world, a world that is completely different from this one, but similar in some ways."

Yang Sikang said with a smile. Dafeng behind him had also come over. Yang Sikang turned around and pulled Dafeng over to let her stand side by side with Chicheng, and then said:

"In my previous world, there were also shipgirls. Although they were different from you, they also came from ships that had existed in history."

Akagi heard this and frowned and asked:

"And what about history itself?"

“The history is the same, and that’s what’s the same.”

Yang Sikang replied:

"But they are fundamentally different from you. They can almost be said to have no distinction between good and evil. In that world, ship girls are a collection of beautiful and positive emotions and wishes. Their thoughts and personalities are always positive and active, like a mirror with only one side."

Chicheng keenly grasped the question in Yang Sikang's words and immediately asked:

"But there are always two sides to every coin. What's the other side?"

"Heh, the other side is of course the enemy, known as the enemy of the deep sea in that world."

Yang Sikang sighed when he said this:

"Normally, if a ship is sunk in battle, there is a high probability that it will gradually become the Deep Sea and then become part of the enemy. The Deep Sea, like the Sirens, are enemies that occupy most of the ocean, but this is where they are worse than the Sirens."

Akagi frowned. His comrades who died in the battle would eventually reappear in front of him as enemies. For a warrior, there was nothing more cruel than this.

This alone is almost despair for a warrior with a weak will.

But she didn't dwell on this, or she was very clear about her purpose and realized that Yang Sikang was trying to change the topic.

"We are discussing the identities of those two people, Mr. Yang Sikang."

Seeing that Chicheng had seen through his purpose, Yang Sikang sighed helplessly and brought the topic back:

"It's different from this world. In that world, there is only one of each ship girl, and there is only one commander."

"That commander is you, right?"

“It’s me, but I’m not the first.”

Yang Sikang explained:

"In that world, the commander is called an admiral. After an admiral dies, another person who is qualified to be an admiral will appear, and only this person can build and awaken the former ships and build ship girls."

"...So what will happen to the previous admiral's shipgirl?"

The person who asked this question was Kaga.

Yang Sikang turned to look at her and smiled slightly.

Just when Kaga was secretly relieved, Yang Sikang's answer almost suffocated her.

"Either sink yourself and be dismantled into materials, or fall into the deep sea and become the enemy of the next admiral."

Kagami was silent.

But Yang Sikang did not stop and continued:

"Those two people are Akagi and Kaga from that world, but they are definitely different from you. It's just that I don't know how they came to this world, just like I don't understand why I came to this world."

After hearing this, Akagi asked again:

"Then how do you know that their target is us? Or how do you know that they are the ones causing trouble here?"

“That’s exactly why I built it before I came.”

Yang Sikang answered frankly:

"I didn't know if it was Akagi and Kaga or Taiho who was here, so I woke Taiho up first."

When Dafeng heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Commander-sama actually still remembers Taiho! Commander-sama~"

She completely ignored everything else Yang Sikang said. After hearing that Yang Sikang had always remembered her, everything else was ignored in an instant.

Dafeng came over with a touched look on her face, but Belfast stopped her very accurately.

"Ms. Dafeng, please restrain yourself a little."

Dafeng looked at Akagi Kaga beside him, nodded, and immediately restrained himself.

"Haha, that's right. Thank you for your reminder, Miss Belfast."

Belfast smiled and took half a step back, but did not leave Dafeng's side, keeping a distance from her so that she could make a move to stop him at any time.

Yang Sikang looked back at Chicheng and continued:

"As for why they did this, I think you should have gotten the answer from them, right?"

"Yes, you want to know?"

Chicheng asked with a smile, but to her surprise Yang Sikang shook his head without hesitation.

"Since they didn't tell me, that means I shouldn't know now."

"Aren't you worried that they might do something particularly dangerous?"

“I trust their choices.”

Yang Sikang replied with a smile.

His unhesitating attitude and his answer without hesitation made Akagi narrow his eyes.

She stared at the man in front of her, trying to catch some clues from his expression. But Yang Sikang was so frank that she couldn't see any trace of lies.

But Akagi knew this was a good opportunity, so she immediately took advantage of the current momentum and asked:

"They were strong, but you still lost, right?"

Kaga was stunned at first, then asked:

"Even with such a powerful ship and strength, did you still lose?"

“We didn’t lose to the deep sea.”

Yang Sikang answered, but when he answered this question, although the smile on his face did not change, the atmosphere suddenly became much gloomier.

"We won and completely solved the problem of the deep sea. So you don't have to worry... The deep sea will not have any impact on this world."

His eyes turned cold for a moment, and he added in a low voice:

"We didn't lose to the deep sea..."

Chapter 275: Expectations of the First Air Force

After finishing what they wanted to say, the people present set out on their return journey.
