I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

Afterwards, Nia Honjou stuffed a page from the Confession Book into Kurumi Tokisaki's body, and then looked at the four destroyers watching nearby and asked:

"So, do you guys want to give it a try?"

Upon hearing Nia Honjou's words, Laffey and the others, realizing what she meant, nodded and expressed their desire to test Nia Honjou's ability to create the Whispering Book. Subsequently, with Nia Honjou's efforts, four pages of the Whispering Book, each depicting a modified version of the drawings by Laffey and the others, were completed. Nia Honjou then handed these four drawings to Laffey and the others, who then tried inserting them into their bodies.

Then they watched as the pages of the Whispering Scripture seemed to melt into their bodies like snowflakes. Immediately afterward, Laffey and the others saw a data-like phenomenon appear on their bodies. Seeing this, Laffey and the others couldn't help but show expressions of surprise. Then, accompanied by a beam of light, Laffey and the others' ship equipment and clothing underwent a major transformation, becoming the modified versions of themselves in the game.

Seeing them transform into their modified forms, Laffey and the others couldn't help but gasp in surprise. They were clearly astonished by their altered bodies. Meanwhile, Nia Honjou, watching Laffey and the others in their modified form, asked:

"So, do you guys seem to have gotten stronger?"

Upon hearing Nia's question, Raffi and the others nodded, appearing somewhat excited.

"Mmm! After transforming into this form, I feel much lighter, and I also feel like I can enhance my ability to deal with torpedoes!"

Javelin, beaming with excitement, brandished his newly designed spear and said this. Raffi, standing nearby, fiddling with what looked like two pistols, nodded in agreement.

"Hmm, that's cool... but there are fewer clothes... However, it's cool, so it's okay..."

Raffi, who was originally wearing relatively casual clothes, had her clothes changed into a combat uniform that was relatively revealing, but Raffi did not feel uncomfortable with it.

Meanwhile, z23, standing to the side, awkwardly tugged at her skirt and said:

"Although my equipment has been greatly improved,... I'm still getting used to it a little bit (whispering)..."

What Z23 wasn't used to was the change in equipment, but the change in clothing. Although the modified clothing had a lot more fabric than before, the safety shorts Z23 was wearing were nowhere to be seen, and she felt a chill under her skirt, which made Z23 quite uncomfortable.

After all, it's still a little strange to suddenly have to wear those safety shorts for so many years, just like how the Royal Navy would feel uncomfortable wearing a skirt.

Meanwhile, Ayanami looked at Z23 with a puzzled expression and said:

"Eh? Ayanami won't feel uncomfortable."

Ayanami's outfit also has more fabric than before. After all, Ayanami's clothes are similar to the original, but compared to the previous sailor uniform, Ayanami's current outfit gives people a swordsman style, which makes Ayanami look very different. This is the attribute that makes Ayanami and Javelin look similar in appearance but have completely different temperaments.

Upon hearing Z23's words, Laffey and Javelin, who were present, couldn't help but gather around and ask Z23:

"Huh? Z23-chan, are you alright?! Are you feeling unwell anywhere?!"

In response to the genuine concern and inquiries from the onlookers, z23 waved his hand somewhat shyly and said:

"No, no, it's not a physical problem, it's just that I'm not used to it... psychologically (whispering)..."

Of course, the others didn't hear what Z23 said next; they were just a little unaccustomed to it, which relieved them, as they had thought something was wrong.

Nia Honjo and the others, who were standing to the side, looked at the javelin and spoke up:

"Now that the modifications are complete, would you like to test it out?"

Upon hearing Nia Honjou's words, Yuhaka, who was munching on dried fish nearby, was stunned. Yuhaka clearly knew where Nia and the others were going for their test, and immediately jumped out to speak to them:

"Don't you dare blow up Youyou's fishpond O^O!"

Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, everyone was stunned. They hadn't expected Yuhaka to be referring to the fishpond, and they had even considered blowing it up. However, they quickly remembered the place where Raffi and the others had docked their ships, realizing that Yuhaka's fishpond was that island in the Mediterranean Sea with a large area of ​​Mediterranean environment.

Thinking about all this, everyone present couldn't help but feel ashamed.

But at that moment, Zelus suddenly appeared and said:

"Alright, I've found the Azur Lane world where Laffey and you are."

Upon hearing Zelus's words, the awkward atmosphere instantly dissipated, and Javelin and the others looked at Zelus with delighted expressions, saying:

"Eh?! Really?!"

Regarding Javelin and the others' questions, Zelus tapped the system panel and explained to them:

"Yes, we've found your world, but—there's something wrong with your world."

Upon hearing Zelus's words, Javelin and the others, who had just been excited, suddenly looked completely bewildered. They clearly didn't understand what Zelus meant. After they came to their senses, Javelin and the others looked shocked and worried and asked Zelus about the situation.

"Of course, you don't need to worry too much. The situation over there is still within our control. We can have Youyou go with you to deal with it and take care of the mastermind behind it."

Hearing Zelus's words, Javelin and the others felt a little relieved. Tokisaki Kurumi, who was standing nearby, asked Zelus if she needed any other help. Zelus replied that she didn't need any, since the situation there wasn't too serious, while things here might turn out more unexpectedly. So Zelus needed someone to guard this place, lest Yuhaka and the others return to find the world turned into a living hell.

P.S.: Azur Lane has launched!

Volume 1 [Lazy Chapters]: Chapter 1403 [The World of Azur Lane]

“OowoO～”

As an imaginary rift opened on the sea surface, Yhaka in her third form poked her large head out to check for any enemies or similar creatures. So far, nothing else seemed to be there, which reassured Yhaka as she opened her closed palms to reveal the javelins she was protecting.

When Javelin and the others saw Yuhaka open his palm, they looked out at the sea with slightly puzzled expressions and asked:

"Huh? Have we arrived yet?"

Regarding the javelin issue, Yuhaka nodded his large head and said to the javelin throwers:

"We've arrived! OowoO~"

After receiving Yuhaka's reply, Laffey and the other three jumped off Yuhaka's hands and landed steadily on the sea, looking around. Z23, who was adjusting her modified clothes, frowned slightly and said:

"Although it's not obvious, the satellites have somehow made contact again, which makes me a little worried about the situation at the Azur Lane port. How long have we been gone?"

Regarding this question, Zelus, who was standing nearby, answered along with z23 and the others:

"To be precise, you've been away from this world for about a month now. The passage of time here is different from that in the other world, so you don't need to worry about the other world. Moreover, the situation in this world is more serious than I imagined. The whole world is shrouded in some kind of fog, making it difficult for me to see the specific situation here clearly. But don't worry about one thing: nothing unexpected has happened to your companions. They are holding on for now."

Hearing Zelus's words, the ship girls present seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. However, according to Zelus, the situation on Azur Lane was not good either. This made Z23 and the others want to go back as soon as possible. However, because they were unable to contact the satellite, they were unable to locate their position. This made them feel like headless flies, trying to find their way back.

Seeing the ship girls looking a bit anxious, Zelus said to them:

"Then let Youyou take you back. After all, that idiot can fly. He can easily find land by circling the planet a few times. It will be much easier to find your port then."

Upon hearing Zelus's words, the ship girls present couldn't help but think it was a good idea, and Yuhaka herself didn't seem to have any objections, so they began to take action.

.................................................. ..................

Above the sea, Yhaka carried Laffey and the others at high speed. At the same time, Laffey and the others peered through the gaps in Yhaka's claws to observe the outside world. In a short while, they saw dark clouds and mist appearing in the distance. Seeing this, Javelin pointed in that direction and said:

"Look over there, isn't the situation similar to when we encountered the Sea Fog Fleet last time?!"

Upon hearing Javelin's words, the others also noticed that the situation here was very similar to the weather they had encountered last time, which made them wary. If the Fog Fleet had come to this world, things would be quite bad. After all, the Sirens fleet at sea was already a headache enough, and if a Fog Fleet were to come as well, wouldn't this world be thrown into chaos?

"Yes, it is indeed somewhat similar to the situation we encountered last time. Youyou, take us there."

After seeing the situation there, Z23 nodded and suggested to Yuhaka that they investigate the area. After all, if there were any of their Azur Lane ship girls there, they could go and support their comrades. If it was just the Fog Fleet, taking it out would also help Azur Lane. If it was just a weather problem, then they could breathe a sigh of relief.

After hearing Z23's words, Eyhaka responded with a shout of understanding, and then flew in an arc towards that direction.

Soon, at Yuhaka's speed, they entered the area of ​​dark clouds and thick fog. Here, Z23 and the others saw the scene of fighting between the Fog Fleet and the Sirens Fleet. Seeing this, Javelin and the others couldn't help but show surprised expressions. Obviously, they did not expect the Fog Fleet and the Sirens Fleet to be fighting each other.

"What's going on? Why does it look like the sea fog is fighting the sirens?"

Z23 looked at the battle fleets below with a puzzled expression at the strange scene before her. She could hardly believe that these two forces, both with a tendency to destroy humanity, would be fighting each other. Logically speaking, shouldn't these two fleets cooperate to deal with Azur Lane?

However, Z23 quickly remembered that the information she had searched for in Azur Lane indicated that the Sirens fleet was not humanity's true enemy, and that the Sirens had previously belonged to humanity's fleet, serving as a reserve force during the final battle, but had not arrived at their designated positions on time.

Furthermore, online information indicates that the Sirens fleet did not exert its full strength; otherwise, the human forces would have virtually no chance of defeating the Sirens fleet. If the information in Azur Lane weren't so disorganized, Z23 would have liked to obtain even more intelligence. However, Z23 is more interested in knowing who the so-called "real enemy" is. But currently, the game's official team has not provided a detailed explanation. Z23 is so eager to rush to the game's headquarters and make them produce the information properly. This suspense makes Z23 want to shove cannons into the enemy's mouth.

Seeing that the only fleets battling below were Sea Fog and Sirens, Javelin and the others seemed relieved. After all, none of their own people were involved in this scene that resembled a modern war. To be honest, seeing this scene that resembled a modern war made Javelin and the others feel a bit of pressure.

Despite the modifications, Javelin and her team felt somewhat powerless in the face of the modern warfare scenario before them. After all, the enemy was not only much stronger than them, but also far more numerous. If a battle were to break out, Azur Lane would definitely be at a disadvantage.

After leaving the battlefield of the Sea Fog and the Sirens, Yuhaka led Javelin and the others towards the nearest land. Just as Yuhaka passed an archipelago, Javelin and the others suddenly received a distress signal from another ship girl. Due to some unknown interference, Javelin and the others could not quite hear what was being sent, but it was indeed the distress signal channel used by Azur Lane.

"This is Z23. We have received a distress signal. Please respond."

z23, who sent the message, also tried to contact the other party, but unfortunately, z23 did not receive a reply. This made z23 look slightly serious and say:

"It seems they haven't received our message. Ayanami, are you able to track their signal location?"

Upon hearing Z23's question, Ayanami sensed the situation briefly and then pointed in a certain direction, saying:

"Yes, in that direction."

Upon hearing Ayanami's words, Yuhaka flew in the direction Ayanami pointed. Soon, with Yuhaka's powerful eyesight, she saw a fog fleet chasing after several ship girls. Seeing this, Yuhaka accelerated and flew in that direction.

Soon, after flying to the position above the fog fleet, Yuhaka closed his shell to protect Javelin and the others, and then swooped down directly towards the fog fleet.

P.S.: My eyes are so sleepy, I'm going to take a nap.

Volume 1 [Lazy Chapters]: Chapter 1404 [Sakura Empire Cerberus (?)]

A few minutes earlier, at an archipelago in Azur Lane, Yuudachi, Yukikaze, and Shigure were dodging an attack from the Fog Fleet. Previously, their six-ship fleet had been forced to split into two groups when attacked by the Fog Fleet, as the strength of six ships was not much to be expected in the face of the Fog Fleet's power and numbers.

However, luck was on Yukikaze and her two companions' side. While they were dodging the attacks of the Sea Fog Fleet, they were fortunate enough to discover an archipelago in this sea area. They then used the archipelago to evade the pursuit of the Sea Fog Fleet. However, this was not a long-term solution. Although they were able to evade the attacks of the Sea Fog Fleet for the time being, it was not a sustainable plan. After all, as soon as they left the area of ​​the archipelago, the enemy would be able to catch up with them very quickly.

It's important to know that the ships of the Sea Fog Fleet are equipped with power engines that resemble spaceships, making it virtually impossible to escape their straight-line pursuit.

Not to mention the weapons equipped in the Sea Fog Fleet, such as tracking anti-ship missiles; if you appear in their field of vision, you'll be locked on.

Fortunately, Yukikaze and her group are located in the archipelago, which is a good place to avoid the Fog Fleet's line of sight and the risk of being locked on by missiles. In addition, the Fog Fleet does not have fighter jets or other flying vehicles, so it is still very difficult for the Fog Fleet to find Yukikaze and her group.

However, as the Sea Fog Fleet increased its search force, Yukikaze and her group were forced to leave the archipelago like ducks being herded. Suddenly, they were at a disadvantage, making Yukikaze and her two companions look like dogs being chased. But at that moment, a sonic boom suddenly came from the air, and the next second, a Nagara-class light cruiser was split in two.

"What, what's going on?!"

Seeing a ship in the Fog Fleet suddenly explode left Yukikaze and the others quite puzzled. After all, the ships in the Fog Fleet were often much stronger than those of the Sirens. Destroying a ship in the Fog Fleet required a large amount of firepower from the entire fleet to break through its unique energy shield in one go. It would be extremely difficult for a single person to break through the opponent's energy shield.

However, none of them launched an attack here, and Yukikaze and the others did not hear any artillery fire nor see any other Azur Lane ship girls here, which made them very puzzled. But along with their puzzlement, something rushed out of the sea and knocked a Nagara-class light cruiser into the air.

"Whoaaaaaah—?!"

Seeing a colossal creature burst out of the sea and send the mist ship flying, Yukikaze and the others were startled. After all, they saw a creature that looked like a fighter jet emerge from the sea, and then its giant tail blade, covered with lightning-like light, instantly sliced ​​the Nagara-class light cruiser, which was protected by the Klein shield, in two.

The other Nagara-class light cruisers also tried to lock onto Yuhaka after spotting the unidentified giant creature, but unfortunately, Yuhaka was already covered by an electromagnetic barrier, and none of the electronic locking devices could detect it. This caused a series of question marks to pop up in the Nagara-class light cruisers' computing systems.

Clearly, the Nagara-class light cruisers fell into a brief silence in the face of this situation. However, they quickly came up with a solution. They actively controlled their turrets to fire lasers at Yuhaka. Yuhaka, with its agile speed, dodged the beams and opened its claws to reveal the javelins inside.

Yuhaka and the others also revealed their torpedo launchers and launched torpedoes at the Nagara-class light cruisers below. Uh... although launching torpedoes from the air feels a bit strange, this is the world of Azur Lane, and anything can happen, which is quite normal.

As the torpedo hit its target, the Klein shield of the Nagara-class light cruiser was also immediately destroyed. After breaking the enemy's Klein shield, Javelin and the others also mobilized their guns to attack the Nagara-class light cruiser whose Klein shield had disappeared, and destroyed the Nagara-class light cruiser in one fell swoop.

"Aya, Ayanami?! It's Ayanami and the others!?"

Seeing Ayanami and the others emerge from Yuhaka's claws, Yukikaze and the others also showed surprise. You know, Ayanami and the others had gone missing not long ago, which made the ship girls on Azur Lane worry about them. They spent some time searching for Ayanami and the others, but when they found no clues, the fog fleet appeared, which interrupted Azur Lane's plan to find Ayanami and the others.

Yukikaze and the others couldn't help but worry about Ayanami and the others, but now that Ayanami and the others had appeared in front of them, they were pleasantly surprised, and there were quite a few surprises.

After Ayanami and her companions launched their attack, they jumped off Yuhaka's claws. If an ordinary person jumped from such a height, even on the sea, they would suffer considerable damage, or even die on the spot. But Ayanami and her companions are ship girls, so they were completely unharmed. In addition, their enhanced abilities after the modification made their current situation even better.

The moment Ayanami and the others landed, they began to glide across the water as smoothly as flowing water. Z23 quickly gave instructions:

"Ayanami and Javelin go find Yukikaze and the others. Laffey and I will draw the enemy's attention to create an opportunity for Yuu! We'll regroup and attack together then!"

Upon hearing Z23's instructions, Javelin and the others nodded in understanding, and soon the two split up and began their operation.
