Azur Lane: The Azure Life of the Tragic Admiral

Sirius still looked worried, but Newcastle looked relaxed.

"Well, let's prepare what the master will need when he returns."

☆

Climb over the wall and come outside.

Yang Sikang walked out along the wall and soon walked out of the surveillance area of ​​the mansion with ease.

Through these days of investigation, he had already figured out where the manpower arranged by Shen Tong was.

Although those people were well hidden, but with the endless emergence of SG radars, reconnaissance planes and other means on his side, coupled with Sheffield, who was good at covert operations, he had been in and out several times, and those people had long been unable to hide.

All of this was done so that he wouldn't be discovered when he went out alone like today. As for why he sneaked out of the mansion alone...

"How dare you run out alone?"

Two ship girls holding sharp blades blocked the front of the path. Yang Sikang looked at them, then looked left and right.

"There's no one else, just the two of us."

Yang Sikang looked at Hinata and Ise in front of him and shook his head:

"Although you two have worked hard to wait here for me to come out and kill me, unfortunately, I didn't come out for you."

Yang Sikang carried the sword on his shoulder, raised his head and smiled:

"You two are not enough to cause trouble for me."

Ise and Hinata were immediately furious, but before they could take action, two ship girls who looked exactly like them came out from Yang Sikang's side and stood in front of them.

Ise and Hyuga from the main family.

The appearance of the two main ship girls stopped the two men directly. Then the main family's Hinata turned around and bowed her head to apologize to Yang Sikang:

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, that this has happened to you."

"It doesn't matter."

Yang Sikang was not surprised at the appearance of the two main ship girls. He shook his head and said casually:

"Just deal with it as it should be. Although I don't care, I don't want to be watched by others every time. After all, it will be very annoying if it happens too many times. Who knows what the result will be."

The two main ship girls were stunned for a moment, but they quickly reacted and nodded.

Without any words, the two ship girls turned around and faced their own bodies again, with complicated expressions on both of them.

But they did not hesitate at all, and drew their weapons directly, pointing them towards "themselves".

"Why do we have to protect that guy? He killed our commander, why can't we even take revenge?"

The two ship girls asked angrily, but the two members of the family did not answer their questions.

The battle was about to break out, but Yang Sikang, who was about to leave, stopped and faced them when he heard this.

"If you want to ask why, I can give you an answer."

Yang Sikang looked at them and said contemptuously:

"The strong prey on the weak. How about this answer?"

The pupils of Ise and Hinata from the main family suddenly shrank, and they realized a possibility almost instantly.

But before they made any move, the roar of carrier-based aircraft sounded above their heads.

A squadron of Skyraiders dropped from the sky, swooped down, dropped bombs and then exploded.

The positions of the two ship girls were instantly covered by the bombs, but after a few seconds, the smoke dissipated and both of them were safe and sound.

The precise bomb drops completely turned the area around them upside down, but only the two of them happened to be safe.

"I am relatively tolerant towards ship girls, but I am not a good person who always gives them chances."

As Yang Sikang spoke, he looked at Ise and Hyuga of the main family:

“Hopefully, I won’t have to face anything like this again.”

The two members of this family bowed to Yang Sikang and sent Yang Sikang away.

Then the two of them walked over to the two people who had fallen silent, and each looked at their own distraught individuals.

It was a terrible feeling to see another 'self' being so devastated, but there was nothing they could do.

This is the rule of the Sakura Empire. There are many things they cannot choose.

File: Strange Diary①

XX year XX month XX day

I never thought that one day I would encounter something as absurd and wonderful as today.

Before I start recording, I must emphasize that I am not a person who has the habit of writing a diary. I have never written a diary in the past twenty years, and I don’t think it is a necessary thing.

But today, I had to resist the urge to sleep in the early morning and record what I saw and heard here.

My name is Atwood Johnson, a recent graduate with a master's degree.

I've always been a staunch atheist, but I think I'm probably going to go to church tomorrow and try to find a priest to do an exorcism for me. Damn, I'm totally crazy.

The story begins this afternoon.

Two months ago, I became a government employee and a week ago I got an important assignment.

I was ordered to come to this city named after hope to serve as a liaison between the governments of various countries and the fortress called 'Port District', to convey the needs between the two sides and handle all matters related to it.

I must admit that this was a difficult and challenging task, but I never doubted my ability. I knew I could do these tasks well, even though I had never been exposed to anything like this before.

I came to this city at 13:00 this afternoon and entered that deserted coffee shop. Now thinking about it, this may be the most wrong decision I have made in my life for more than years.

There, I met a strange man who knew me very well and could accurately call out my name and tell me my identity, so much so that I actually suspected that he was an old friend whom I had not seen for many years.

I have used these words to illustrate this point because now, as I try to capture his features and appearance, I realize that I cannot put them into words.

His image was very clear in my mind, but whenever I tried to record his appearance or characteristics, I could not remember how to describe it.

It was an indescribable weird feeling, but what frightened me even more was the voice that kept echoing in my mind.

The man learned about my mission during the conversation, and then he said to me:

'This is a very meaningful task. Perhaps you should write down all your experiences and experiences in a diary, a secret diary that no one knows exists. This is a good choice, right? '

I was so lost in thought that I just agreed with him. I don't know if I would have been in this situation if I had refused, but I know that if I didn't write this diary, my life would be completely ruined.

His words kept echoing in my mind, over and over again. From nightfall on, I could no longer complete any work or read any books. The words that kept coming to my mind occupied all my thoughts, and I couldn't even fall asleep.

Even the sleep method that has always worked for me couldn't save me. Now I can only try to do what he said and see if there will be any improvement.

As I have written before, my task is to perform a role similar to that of a liaison officer, providing coordination and arrangements between governments and the port area.

This is a very important position, but I must emphasize that I volunteer for it.

This position requires me to stay in this city, which means that from today on I will become one of the permanent residents of this city and live in this place.

But to be honest, this city is completely different from what I imagined before I came here.

The enemies that people call "monsters" are called the deep sea, and the port area on one side of the city that is connected to the sea is the bridgehead to resist those monsters.

Before I came here I knew that sometimes battles would even break out around the port area, so as a city on the front lines of the battle, I always thought that this place should be gloomy and dilapidated.

Although this is not an objective thing, it is generally impossible for a complete city to exist in a war zone.

However, this city is completely different from what I expected.

The buildings here are complete, the streets are clean and tidy, the people are full of hope and the atmosphere is good. This relaxed and happy atmosphere where strangers met on the street can greet each other casually is something I have never experienced anywhere else.

It's unbelievable that this is the scene that would appear in a place where war could break out at any time.

As a newcomer to the position, I submitted my greetings. I didn't know whether I should go directly to the port area to say hello. To be honest, I was very nervous about this matter.

If there is anyone in the world who deserves to be called a hero, then I think the 'Admiral' of the port area must be praised as such.

I have heard my grandfather talk about the past. The threat posed by the deep sea made all oceans extremely dangerous. International trade was almost completely cut off, the prices of all foreign goods were sky-high, and the war that could break out at any time was my grandfather's nightmare when he was young.

I am very glad that I did not have to experience the terrible life that my grandfather described, which is difficult for me to record in words, but I think perhaps it is precisely because of my grandfather's story that I have great respect for the admiral whom I have never met.

I must admit that this is the main reason why I am willing to come to this city to serve as this liaison officer, and it is also the reason why my father and elderly grandfather can accept and support me, but I do not intend to favor one side in the liaison, I will complete my job according to my duties.

Well, even though most of this is just some annoying grumbling, the voices in my head have completely disappeared as I write this, and I think I should be able to get some sleep now.

XX year XX month XX day

This is my second day here. Although that annoying voice did not ring in my head today, I still decided to record what happened today.

I can't describe how I feel right now, but my hands are even shaking slightly as I write these words.

Oh my god, I actually met the admiral!

He was completely different from what I had imagined. I thought he should be an old but dignified man because he had been there when my grandfather was young, but in fact he was a young man. I think he was about the same age as me.

Maybe the position of admiral is passed down from generation to generation? Who knows, but I know very well that the admiral's majesty and the sense of danger that makes people's hair stand on end are not fake. I was so nervous in front of him that I could hardly speak properly. I really hope I didn't make a fool of myself.

But he was a very friendly and capable person, and although I should have performed very badly due to nervousness, he still guided me to complete those complicated tasks easily.

I feel like a fan who has met his or her idol, and the star is communicating with me in a friendly manner. It is so exciting. I think I will never forget this day!

This is my third day here, and I finally saw those beings called KanColle.

It was amazing, I couldn't believe that those gentle, lovely women had the power to break the deep sea.

The knowledge I got from books told me that even the new warships developed in modern times would find it extremely difficult to fight against the deep sea and that they would need to rely on numbers to achieve results. However, each of these ship girls possessed the power to fight against many deep-sea ships at the same time, which was amazing.

They looked no different from ordinary women, except that they were much more beautiful. I tried to observe what they were doing, but was quickly discovered.

Well, I know I don't have a talent for stalking, but luckily they weren't angry, otherwise I really don't know what I would have done.

I noticed that the people in this city were very respectful to the KanColles. No matter who was arguing with others on the street, when they appeared, those people would calm down.

This was also a very surprising sight for me. I had never seen anyone who had such a high reputation among the people. If it were not for the purpose of avoiding interfering with their actions, I think those people would have surrounded them tightly.

I have completed all the work procedures and I think I should be able to take up my post tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

XX year XX month XX day

I have been in this position for a while now, but to be honest I feel that my position is not as important as I initially thought.

Well, this position itself is very important, but the problem is... the ship girls in the port are so capable!

The documents that the port staff send to me every day have almost no room for me to intervene, and there is no room for me to discuss or modify the various demands and other suggestions.

All the documents were done to the best of my ability, even better than I could have imagined. All I could do was check whether they were complete and then submit them.

This made me feel like a file transfer station. My daily work was not as troublesome as I had initially thought. It was incredibly simple.

I even had plenty of free time to read in my office, and my only colleague told me that he was about to leave, and I would be the only one working in this place then, which meant that I didn't even have to stay here after handing over the documents.

How could there be such an easy and well-paid job in the world!

XX year XX month XX day

I think now I understand why this position has existed until now and the salary and living benefits are very generous.

Just today, I met an agent sent by the government.

The other party used various methods to prove his identity to me, and then gave me a task:

The government hopes that I can use my position here to monitor and obtain various intelligence in the port and all the information I can obtain, including but not limited to information about the ship girls, information about the admiral, and any task arrangements I can obtain, and record the port's attack time, return time, and any possible information about the composition of the attacking fleet.

I knew what this meant, but obviously I didn't have the power to refuse.

I had no doubt what the agent had in his arms, and if I refused today would probably be the last day of my life.

But what I don’t understand is why the government is so serious about this, because I have seen many times in the submitted documents the information they want me to know.

The information about the port's attacks, returns and attacking personnel are clearly in those documents. Maybe they are worried that the port will falsify information in this regard?

Anyway, I had no choice but to take the mission, and after warning me, the agent left.

This is really ridiculous. The things they want to know have no confidentiality value at all, yet they actually sent agents to find me for this?

XX year XX month XX day

As I expected, what I learned was consistent with the content of the documents provided by the Hong Kong District. All the things I did according to the government's requirements were simply a waste of my time.

The admiral and his ship girls did not lie at all. Rather, I felt that those reports were not necessary at all.
