Azur Lane: The Azure Life of the Tragic Admiral

"The problems I face are not something you can solve..."

"But can you and the Great Sage really solve those things in the barrier?"

Nagato sighed:

"Sure enough, you even know this."

"There are no absolutes in the world, Nagato. I can come to this world from another world, and I can also know these things that not many of you know. This is enough to prove a lot of problems, right? Trying may not necessarily pay off. You wish, but if you don’t try, won’t there be no room for change?”

Nagato looked at Yang Sikang, then at the three ship girls on both sides of him, and sighed helplessly.

"I see, your visit today is actually for these things, right?"

"Yes, but that's not entirely true. The joke I said earlier wasn't entirely a joke either, Nagato."

"I came here specifically to visit today, and I also came here for you. But I may want more than all of you think..."

Looking into Nagato's eyes, Yang Sikang showed his ambitious side in front of Nagato for the first time:

"I don't want a small issue like the First Carrier or Big 7 or a few ship girls. I want all the ship girls in the entire Sakura Empire. It's only a matter of time."

Nagato's pupils shrank suddenly and he grabbed the hem of his clothes.

"But isn't your former ship girl also active in this world?"

"Yes, but I'm not going to give up on either side."

Yang Sikang grinned:

"This time, I want it all!"

Chapter 423: Making a Agreement with Nagato

Yang Sikang's words caused Nagato to fall into a daze for a long time.

His sudden display of ambition and arrogance shocked many people even though Nagato had already met him.

That is completely different from the temperament Yang Sikang showed before. They are two people with completely different personalities.

However, when he said that arrogant, all-important statement, Nagato was shocked but had no doubt at all.

Since this man became the commander, he has easily owned a fleet that other commanders can't compare with, and this is based on the premise that he has been with Shige Sakura for this period of time.

He did not build except for Big Phoenix and Bumblebee.

But the weight of what he holds in his hands becomes more and more unfathomable as Chongying's understanding of him gradually deepens.

Especially during the recent period, Nagato could clearly feel the changes in Akagi.

"You...are you so ambitious?"

Nagato looked at Yang Sikang with mixed emotions. She couldn't explain her current mood, but the completely different side of Yang Sikang just now completely refreshed her understanding of this man.

Only then did she become convinced that Yang Sikang's previous answer about his murder was no lie.

But to say that he was disgusted with this man was not at all because Nagato clearly felt the strong belief in his words.

"You can do whatever it takes to protect what you want to protect, I've said it before, right?"

Yang Sikang smiled and said:

"Don't take my words as casual remarks, Nagato."

"I already know it very well."

Nagato sighed, and then asked:

"Although you are arrogant, the belief in your words is not annoying. However, Chongying's internal affairs are ultimately matters that we should handle on our own. Regardless of success or failure, it is not appropriate for outsiders to help. I already understand your intentions. , but I cannot accept this proposal.”

Nagato said, saluting Yang Sikang, smiling and saying to him:

"You may indeed have a solution, but our Chongying should be protected by us personally."

Yang Sikang sighed. The best result in his ideal would be that Nagato agreed to let him intervene in those matters. Even if the development of the situation is inconsistent with the plot of the game, with his experience and judgment, as well as his confidence in his future, he is sure that he can at least reduce the risk to a large extent.

This was good for Shige Sakura, and it was also good for him.

But Nagato also has her own persistence, which he can also understand.

Although the benefits gained from strong intervention will obviously be greater, but...

Yang Sikang shook his head.

"If you insist, then I have no choice but to give up."

"Thank you for your understanding."

Nagato bowed again, but then she said:

"But I want to ask you something. I wonder if you are willing to listen?"

"Please say."

Nagato raised his head, looked into Yang Sikang's eyes and said:

"I would like to ask you, if one day Akagi does something irreparable, can you please save her?"

Yang Sikang raised his eyebrows.

"I also know Akagi's paranoia, but now Akagi is the only one who has been working hard to maintain Chongyakura in front of the stage. But if she takes the wrong path, I'm afraid she will inevitably encounter accidents in the future."

Yang Sikang nodded:

"how about you?"

Yang Sikang raised his finger and pointed at the towering tree.

"It's very difficult even for you to solve the problems there, right? Are you sure you can bear it?"

"Protecting Chongying is exactly what I want, but I am not a reckless person. I should be fully prepared before taking action, but... yes, if I can't bear it..."

"Do you want to make a promise?"

Yang Sikang asked with a smile.

"Promise?"

Nagato asked confused.

Yang Sikang nodded and said:

"I'll think of a way to prepare a gift for you. If it doesn't come in handy, just pretend it's nothing. But if it comes in handy, then you can join my fleet."

Nagato looked at Yang Sikang in surprise, and Yang Sikang shrugged:

"It's fair, right? Anyway, if there is some kind of accident that you can't bear, you might disappear. This is not the first time that I wake up my ship girl. From this point of view, you will probably do the same. Come to my fleet. Anyway, the result is the same. You can protect a few more things by accepting my gift, isn’t it a loss?”

Nagato looked at him in disbelief and sighed with a subtle expression:

"You are obviously very good at talking, but sometimes you deliberately speak very bluntly."

"I used to follow other people's roundabout ways, but then I got tired of it and didn't want to learn it anymore. So I decided to be more straightforward. Anyway, I have nothing to hide. I just want it, and there is nothing to hide. ”

"Although it's straightforward, it's really not annoying."

"So, Nagato, what's your answer? Do you want to agree to my proposal?"

Nagato thought for a moment and nodded:

"I agree."

She smiled and said:

"But I am Nagato of the Sakura Empire, a genuine BIG 7 battleship! I will not be defeated easily, so your expectations will be dashed!"

"Haha, I hope this agreement will come true. But even if that happens, I will still build you, so it actually doesn't have any impact on me."

"You said that on purpose to embarrass me, right?"

"Who knows?"

The serious atmosphere was swept away, and Nagato felt helpless and relaxed at the same time.

Compared to the previous serious conversation, the sudden reveal of another side of Yang Sikang and his arrogant ambition made Nagato feel more relaxed.

She smiled to herself and sighed secretly.

As one of the maintainers of the barrier, Nagato certainly knows the actual situation inside the barrier.

But the worries that have always been there are still just worries. Although dangerous, the things in them still maintain a delicate balance.

But Yang Sikang's words were tantamount to announcing to her that the dangers she was worried about would definitely explode.

But she didn't know the more details and didn't dare to ask.

It is true that it would be great if Yang Sikang knew more details, but Nagato also had his own persistence in his heart.

Protecting your country by yourself is two different things than relying on outsiders to protect your country.

Especially after seeing Donghuang across the sea and staying in the shrine doing nothing all year round, she often thinks about these issues.

But her thinking was often fruitless. On the contrary, Yang Sikang's simple and crude theories and announcements today not only broke her impression of this person, but also shattered Nagato's consistent thinking.

She is the Son of God, so even if others think there is something wrong with her, they won't raise it.

Even if he thinks she is not good enough in some aspects, he will not say it.

Even if he has some opinions towards her, he is still respectful when meeting her.

If this is true for people in one's own camp, how much more so for people from other camps?

Nagato looked at Yang Sikang. It seemed like he was meeting someone like him for the first time.

She unknowingly relaxed, and after no serious topics followed, Belfast and Shangri-La joined in the exchange.

After some small talk, several hours passed before I knew it.

It wasn't until Jiang Feng came over to remind him that Akagi was coming that Nagato realized the problem of time.

"Well, it seems like it took a little too long."

Nagato let out a sigh of disappointment.

"There's still one month left, so I'll come again a few times. This time I'll be more formal, but next time I'll be more casual."

Yang Sikang said with a smile.

Nagato also smiled and nodded:

"Then, I will wait patiently for your visit again. Well, if you don't mind, you can ask for a signature or something at the shrine next time."

Yang Sikang looked at Nagato's twitchy look and nodded with a smile.

"Okay, let's take our leave now."

He looked at Jiang Feng, who said:

"Please wait a moment, I'll bring Miss Javelin here."

A few minutes later, Yang Sikang and others left the shrine with Akagi personally coming to pick them up.

However, the busy Akagi did not stay long before going back. On the way back to the courtyard, Belfast said softly next to Yang Sikang:

"Master, you are also very gentle to the ship girls from other camps."

Yang Sikang shook his head and said with a smile:

"The premise is that they do not pose a threat to you."

Chapter 424 Before leaving (Part )

Yang Sikang said and looked at Dafeng. Dafeng had been looking a little absent-minded since he came out.

"Dafeng, what's wrong?"

Dafeng came back to his senses and shook his head:

"It's nothing, I just suddenly thought, if I hadn't been awakened by the Commander, would I have been like Nagato?"

Before anyone else could speak, Dafeng's attitude suddenly changed and he said:

"But I feel that even if I am not awakened by you, Commander, I will definitely go with you after meeting you. So, actually, I don't really want to give them the Rubik's Cube. If there is one more of me, it won't feel right. Good look.”

Yang Sikang smiled and shook his head helplessly.
