Azur Lane: The Azure Life of the Tragic Admiral

And the reaction this person just showed was the most violent reaction ever seen since the birth of the construction machine.

The blue ball of light in the construction machine dissipated the moment he pulled his hand away. Cleveland turned her head sharply and looked towards the second floor. The glass there was one-way transparent, but she knew very well that the enterprise was there.

The next second, she heard the company's call. Before she could say anything, the company spoke first:

"He failed on purpose, you understand?"

Cleveland swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and remained silent without answering.

She hung up the call with the enterprise, walked over silently, helped Yang Sikang up, and then took him straight out of the construction room amid the whispers of others.

She remained silent, took Yang Sikang all the way back to his dormitory room, silently put him on the bed, silently packed up other things, then turned and left.

But before opening the door and leaving, Cleveland turned his head and said to Yang Sikang who was "unconscious" in the room:

"Then I won't be the commander. I will abide by the agreement and complete what I promised."

Cleveland left, she closed the door carefully and silently, and then left calmly.

At the same time she left, Yang Sikang opened his eyes, without any sign of pain.

He sat up calmly, crossed his fingers to cover his face, and sat silently by the bed for two hours.

A hundred years ago, he was just an ordinary otaku on Earth.

But because of an accident that he can't remember now, he traveled through time.

Fortunately, he traveled to the world of a KanColle game he had played: KanColle-R, and became the world's only admiral.

Unfortunately, it's a cruel and bloody world that's very different from the game.

He struggled for decades and grew from an incompetent otaku into a mentally strong admiral. He commanded the ship girls to gradually seize victory from the deep sea and take the initiative.

But...the cost of these changes is terrible.

He remembered clearly that all 631 ship girls were living ship girls. Each of them had awakened, grown, and died in his hands...

His growth was built on the lives of these ship girls. Over the decades, there were a total of 631 ship girls, but at the moment of final victory, there were less than 200 left.

More and more ship girls were sunk and more and more were built by him, one after another, until victory.

However, in the end, the ending that awaited him and them was so ironic. They all died, and he died too, dying with them at the moment of victory.

After decades of struggle, neither he nor they could enjoy even a single day of peace.

He traveled through time again and came to the world of Azur Lane. He was rescued by Cleveland and invited to become a commander.

But whenever he heard these words, the first thing that came to his mind was the voices and smiles of those ship girls before they died.

That world is cruel, and after being silenced, the ship girls will become enemies and appear in the enemy camp - this is what he heard when he first traveled to that world, and it is one of the experiences summed up by several admirals before him.

The death of the admiral will cause the warships he built to disappear along with him, or even become part of the deep sea.

However, during the decades he was in that world, not a single one of the more than 400 ship girls that sank appeared in the enemy camp.

He did not feel fortunate about this, but rather felt very unwilling.

He didn't understand, he didn't comprehend, he really wanted to ask them why!

It was obviously his problem. If he was stronger, if he was more useful, if his decision-making was more reliable, if he thought more before making a decision... wouldn't there be so many sacrifices?

They should be dissatisfied, they should be angry, they should hate him, but why?

They didn't even stand against him and appear before him again as enemies.

Yang Sikang didn’t understand. He didn’t understand why he had traveled to this world!

He has tried his best and struggled for decades. Isn't that enough?

He has killed 631 ship girls, isn't that enough?

He has experienced despair so many times, isn't it enough?

When Cleveland and Enterprise wanted him to be the commander, he felt no joy in his heart, only boundless fear.

How can he be the commander?

Yang Sikang went to the bathroom and washed his face vigorously with cold water until the skin on his face hurt.

He placed his hands on both sides of the sink, letting the water run down his face and drip from his hair.

He looked at himself in the mirror. How could such a cowardly and useless guy become a commander?

boom! ! !

He punched the mirror hard, as if he wanted to smash the owner of the face and the mirror into pieces!

The glass shards pierced his fist, and blood dripped down and mixed with the water droplets and flowed into the sewer. Yang Sikang was breathing heavily, and the hand that was grabbing the pool kept exerting force until his knuckles turned white.

"I heard that you fainted and you asked me to come over. Isn't that quite spirited?"

Dr. Mavis' voice sounded behind him. Yang Sikang took a deep breath, quickly adjusted his expression, and turned around.

Snapped!

With a crisp sound, five finger marks were left on one side of Yang Sikang's face, causing a burning pain.

Mavis grabbed his hand and smacked her tongue in annoyance.

"Even if you are dissatisfied, don't do such a stupid thing! Do you know how much trouble this kind of troublesome wound will cause me! Damn it, at least do such a stupid thing after I come here, and then find another doctor!"

Yang Sikang was stunned for a moment, then laughed for no reason:

"Feel sorry."

"Feel sorry?"

Mavis glanced at him and sneered:

"If you want to apologize to me, why not apologize to Cleveland first?

Her reputation has been completely ruined by you, a bastard. If it wasn't me, it would be more than just a slap in the face."

Yang Sikang's pupils shrank slightly, and he lowered his head with a bitter smile.

He had expected this, Cleveland was so determined to make him the commander without regard for other people's opinions.

Such a willful act is bound to have an irreversible impact on Cleveland, especially in terms of reputation.

But what can he do? It is better to solve the problem once and for all rather than prolong it endlessly.

Although Mavis was harsh in her words, she still opened the medical kit, took out tweezers and cotton balls, and began to carefully clean the broken glass from the wound.

Her movements were quick, but gentle. Precise, fast, and graceful. While cleaning up the debris and checking the wound, she spoke as if she was chatting:

"I don't really understand what happened between you and Cleveland that made her believe that you can be a good commander, but I think that when someone has done so much for you, you still acted in such a deceptive way and even ruined her reputation. This is not an act of repaying a favor."

Yang Sikang was silent for a moment, then hesitantly spoke:

"If I say that I was in another world and that hundreds of people were killed because of my command, do you still think I can be a commander?"

"Did he die because of your command..."

Mavis used a cotton ball dipped in alcohol to wipe Yang Sikang's wound, but he didn't make a sound.

Mavis raised her head, looked into Yang Sikang's eyes and asked:

"Then did those people you said you killed curse you before they died? Or curse you?"

"……No."

"Isn't that okay?"

Mavis lowered her head and continued to clean his wound:

"If that's not the case, how can you say that they were killed because of your command? Even children get hurt when they fight, and there are always casualties in war. Don't underestimate war, idiot."

Yang Sikang wanted to say something else, but Mavis had already put down the cotton ball.

The wound on her hand had been cleaned, and after casually bandaging it, Mavis was ready to leave.

"Okay, your wounds have been treated. I don't want to stay here too long, or my reputation might be ruined. I haven't tasted the sweetness of love yet, and I can't let it be ruined by an ungrateful guy."

Yang Sikang sighed helplessly:

"What a harsh remark."

"Just tell the truth."

Mavis quickly packed up the medical kit and said as she walked towards the door:

"For the information you provided, I'll have to say a few more words to you."

She turned around, looked at Yang Sikang seriously and said:

“Even if you don’t become the commander, someone else will. Maybe your command caused a lot of casualties, but if your subordinates are not dissatisfied, then you have no right to say that it is your command that is the problem.

Maybe you didn't do well enough, but someone more incompetent than you taking that position will only cause greater losses.

Instead of dwelling on the past that cannot be changed, think about how to do better in the future.

At least you still have a chance to change, isn't that much better than those who regret but have no chance?"

Yang Sikang stood there in a daze, and Mavis had no intention of saying anything more.

She took off the shoe covers from her shoes and casually threw them into the trash can at the door.

"Well, that's all I have to say. What you do is up to you."

Chapter 8 Welcome, Javelin.

Mavis leaves.

Yang Sikang stood at the door silently, like a stone statue for two full hours.

Mavis' words had a great impact on him, but the biggest impact did not come from Mavis's opinions, but from the words that Mavis said casually:

He ruined Cleveland's reputation.

Although he did not consider himself a wise man, he still understood these superficial things clearly.

Yes, Cleveland protected him for several months, constantly fighting against all odds to get him opportunity after opportunity, and even allowed this suspicious element who should have been subjected to endless interrogation to get a chance to go to sea.

After consuming a mind cube without authorization, he completely broke Cleveland's heart with a failed construction.

What a bastard.

Yang Sikang walked to the bed and lay down, and he lay there... for three days.

In the outside world, things are going crazy. It has always been a bad thing to act on your own, especially when the consequences are bad.

Many people came during this period, but no one knocked on the door.

They didn't even hear any sound coming from the room, and the aroma of food hadn't wafted from the room for three full days.

So, of course, the other people living nearby called the police - no one wanted to smell the stench of a corpse coming from next door a few days later.

Near noon on the fourth day, accompanied by a loud bang, the sturdy door turned into a pile of fragments that shot into the room and turned the wall opposite the door into the shape of the surface of the moon.

A white figure that everyone in this port area was very familiar with and respected strode into the room, came to the bed and pulled the man up from the bed.

However, before she could open her mouth to reprimand, the man suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.

He raised his head, and his pair of shining eyes showed no trace of decadence from not having eaten for three days. Even she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Then the man sat up on the bed.

He grabbed her wrist and asked in a hoarse but unusually calm voice:

"If I can prove that Cleveland's defense was not in vain, is there still room for recovery?"

Qiye came to her senses and easily shook off Yang Sikang's hand.

Even if he was full of energy, not drinking a drop of water or eating a grain of rice for three days had already pushed his body to its limit. A person can go without food for a week, but if he doesn't drink water, he will die in a few days.

Qiye looked at Yang Sikang, the man's expression was more resolute than she had ever seen him. His voice was hoarse from not drinking water for a few days, but the confidence in his words was more sufficient than in any conversation in the previous three months.

Perhaps he was moved by his state, or perhaps it was his final trust in Cleveland. Enterprise said:

"Cleveland is now under a lot of suspicion for using the transported Mind Cube without permission and repeatedly violating regulations. We have no choice but to keep her in custody temporarily. Give me a result before this time tomorrow, or I'll send you to death."

After saying this, Qiye turned around and prepared to leave, and Yang Sikang said:

"I need a set of clothes. There is a list on the first layer of the shoe cabinet in the entrance."

Qiye paused, turned around to look at Yang Sikang, said nothing, walked to the entrance, opened the shoe cabinet, found the note stuck in the gap, and then left the place.
