The Naval Base of the Unnamed Ship Girls

"Huh? Adun, you don't know how to activate your Glory Form?" Adun's hesitation led the admiral to a correct but unrewarding guess. Seeing Adun's face darken as she admitted her guess, the admiral once again activated his taunting mode towards his ship girl:

"You swore you were a hero ship girl? You're such a loser, you can't even unlock your glory form!"

"I never said I was a hero ship girl. I just said I'm not afraid of those so-called hero ship girls." Even though she was just born and her living space was the vast universe, Adun was never afraid of those ocean ship girls who couldn't even fly.

"Hehe, explaining is just covering up, and covering up means you have something to hide. Don't worry, you are still my ship girl, I won't look down on you over such a small matter."

Although he said that, the admiral blatantly displayed an expression as if he had caught Adun in a compromising situation. (Adun: That's not a braid, that's a nerve bundle!)

Just as Ayton, feeling his pride severely wounded, was about to retort to his naive yet cunning admiral, his expression suddenly changed slightly, and the words that were about to come out of his mouth turned out to be something else entirely:

"I didn't say I couldn't activate my Glory Form, it's just..." Adun's expression became somewhat subtle as unreliable memories of the significance of the Glory Form of the support supply mothership Spear of Adun surfaced.

"Just what?" The admiral, who had already been trained by Adun, reacted quickly.

"But Admiral, do you still have enough resources to support me in activating my Glory Form?" Adun asked, his eyes slightly narrowed.

"Why do you need resources to activate your Glory Form?" The admiral was puzzled by Adun's design.

"I am a support and supply mothership! My Glory Form is basically a sea-based supply depot! Only by carrying enough resources can I activate the Glory Form!" Moreover, this is only the first stage of the Glory Form. Adun really wants to know if this multi-stage Glory Form setting is available to all ship girls or if it is unique to her.

"Huh? You can actually do that?" The admiral thought about it and felt it made sense. However, being a second-generation ship owner and a top student, he was eager to see what Adun's Glory Form looked like. With a wave of his hand, the admiral confidently said, "Tell me, how many resources do you need to activate your Glory Form?"

"Hmm, let me see..." Adon calculated his own size, then calculated his Gracku storage capacity, and then added a little more before saying a number.

"Wo!!!!!!" Upon hearing the number from Adun, Wo-chan's eyes widened in disbelief. As a deep-sea colonel, Wo-chan thought she could eat enough, but she never expected Adun to say such an exaggerated number. These resources would be enough for one Wo-chan to live comfortably for decades.

Before the former secretary ship of the admiral, Kogan, could even count on her little fingers how many resources Adun had mentioned, she saw the admiral, who had instantly turned into stone, fall onto the table with a "thud".

"Admiral! Admiral, what's wrong? Admiral, wake up! Admiral, don't scare Kokang! Sister Yadun, please help me!"

"..."

"The admiral's mental fortitude is so fragile," Yaton thought to himself.

My drafts have decreased from 22 to 20; I need some time to calm down.

I have a grand idea of ​​saving up 100 chapters for publication.

Chapter 42: Only I Can Bully My Deep Sea Family

"What if a deep-sea area appears near the naval base?" Adon asked seriously, emphasizing each word.

"Of course, we'll use cannons to teach them how to build ships! As the ancients said, we should deal with enemies like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves!" Although his eyes were constantly glancing at wo-chan, the admiral's answer still sounded righteous and indignant. Not only did he bravely applaud and congratulate her, but even wo-chan seemed to think that her admiral's admiral was looking at her for approval, so she also clapped along.

"What if friendly ship girls appear in the waters near the naval base?" Adun, who had only raised her eyes slightly without offering any opinion to the admiral, continued to ask, enunciating each word clearly.

"When friends come from afar, we should naturally prepare fine wine and flowers to welcome the ship with courtesy!" The admiral's answer this time was very decisive.

Oh? Whether it's pretty or not, there's plenty of alcohol. The ship's equipment space is definitely enough for vodka. Even if it's not enough, the technology of brewing vodka with antifreeze, fuel, and all sorts of strange materials is also common to Russian ship girls.

However, fresh flowers... there are only wildflowers on the garrison now.

"Why are you asking these questions, Admiral?" The admiral, puzzled as to why Admiral was so serious, asked with some suspicion.

"Ahem, sit down, sit down, I haven't finished asking yet." Adun, who had just stood up, pressed the admiral back into his chair beside the desk and was monitoring the events near the naval base using phased array radar, continued:

What if friendly ship girls are bullying Abyssal Fleet members in the waters near the naval base?

"Huh...?" The admiral didn't react for a moment.

"Wait! Could it be that you mean... Holy crap, that brat dares to steal my military merits? If he doesn't want to live, I'll grant his wish! Adun, hurry up and rescue those deep-sea creatures! Only my ship girls can bully the deep-sea creatures in the waters near my naval base! Let that brat get as far away from me as possible!"

After a moment of stunned silence, the admiral immediately realized what Adun was talking about, and once again, without any decorum, he put his leg on the table and roared loudly.

"Is this considered a sortie order?" asked the dutiful and trusted secretary ship, Adun.

"Why are you dawdling? Just go when I tell you to, and remember to bring Wo-chan along! Let her explain to those deep-sea creatures!" It was as if the possibility of having his battle merits stolen had instantly boosted the admiral's IQ by a hundred points, bringing him to the level of a normal person, making his thinking incredibly clear.

"Gogan, take good care of the Admiral at home." Adon felt that his Admiral had taken a big step toward joining the Deep Sea faction: "Let's go, wo-chan, I can go save your buddy now."

"wo!!"

Rewind a few minutes, while Adun and Kogan were still trying to save the admiral who had suffered an acute heart attack, the Naval Base No. 233 ship girls, caught in a dilemma due to that psionic storm, encountered their first Abyssal ship girl who clearly showed hostility towards them.

Yes, it's a deep-sea creature, not a deep-sea fleet. It's Captain Xiao Bei, who traveled all the way from the deep sea to find me.

To avoid his comrades' patrol routes, Captain Xiao Bei, a deep-sea heavy cruiser, chose a very roundabout route to approach the naval base, which led to a collision with the Prince of Wales's glorious form.

As a member of the deep sea, and one with a sense of honor, Xiao Bei deployed her ship equipment despite the vast disparity in combat strength between herself and the enemy, though she didn't fire immediately.

As a deep-sea ship girl who has awakened a complete consciousness, Xiao Bei clearly knows what the black warship in front of her means.

In front of a battleship girl who can activate her glory form, there's no way to escape even if you want to.

(Wo-chan, I'm sorry, I might have to go first this time.) Xiao Bei thought sadly that even as a deep-sea being sunk, there was still a certain chance of being resurrected, but it would only be a low-level deep-sea being without self-awareness. Once consciousness was reawakened, it would be a completely different self.

If things go even worse, and you get sunk by these hero-class ship girls from who-knows-where, you'll lose your deep-sea aura and become a ship girl. Although you'll gain self-awareness immediately, it also means you're very likely to become enemies with Wo-chan in the future, which is something Xiao Bei really doesn't want to see.

Compared to Xiao Bei's tension, the three ship girls on the deck of the black warship, who had also noticed the deep-sea heavy cruiser, seemed quite relaxed.

"Has the defense of the waters near this naval base deteriorated to such an extent that even a deep-sea heavy cruiser like Cricket can sail freely?" the Prince of Wales said in a tone of exasperation.

"When I saw Your Highness in your glorious form, I was able to activate your ship equipment. Although we are not in the same faction, I still admire her courage. If necessary, I can bestow upon her the honor that belongs to a warrior."

Nelson exclaimed in admiration as he adjusted the angles of all the gun turrets mounted on the same side of the ship, aiming all the gun muzzles at Xiao Bei.

As a British ship girl who takes fulfilling her responsibilities as her life motto, it's no wonder that Nelson would praise Xiao Bei's actions.

“My lords, this deep-sea ship girl is a high-level deep-sea with a complete consciousness. There is likely a reason why she is here.”

Seeing that neither the Prince of Wales nor Nelson had noticed the crucial issue, Reputation, as the head maid, had no choice but to speak up and remind them.

"Indeed, a deep-sea heavy cruiser sneaking into the waters near the naval base, even if the naval base is only temporary, is still Federation territory. The other party must have some secrets they are hiding."

The Prince of Wales spoke in a very serious tone, and then asked the ship girl beside him, "Nelson, what do you think?"

“Your Highness, there must be something fishy about this!” Seeing the Prince of Wales ask the question in the tone of an old costume drama about the People’s Revolutionary League, Nelson also cooperated and said.

"My lords, please stop playing around. We need your instructions now: should we just sink the enemy?" Reign said, somewhat exasperated with the Prince of Wales and Nelson's charade.

"Why would I need to ask for your permission, young master, for such a trivial matter? However, there's no need to sink it, lest it attract the attention of that nearby ship, the Princess. As for reputation, are you confident that you can capture her quietly?" The Prince of Wales adopted the posture of a flagship.

"Which sense of 'quietly'?" Reputation inquired carefully.

For a ship girl, the meanings of different kinds of "quietly" are very different. Carefully cleaning the room quietly while the admiral is sleeping is called "quietly". Increasing the main gun shell capacity or launching a long-range surprise attack can also be considered "quietly".

“Don’t let the Princess here find out, and also…” The Prince of Wales glared at the presumptuous Prestige, who was asking a question he already knew the answer to, and swirled the third glass of whiskey in his hand, saying, “It’s best not to let the young master know either.”

"Understood." The perfectly elegant head maid, Renown, held up the ship-like rigging in her hands and said.

Chapter 43: Deal with this fish before leaving.

As the darlings of the sea, it's actually very easy for ship girls to move from land to ocean. One minute they might be playing beach volleyball, and the next they might be firing cannons at each other in the sea.

However, if it is a formal sortie in accordance with the admiral's orders, except in special circumstances, the ship girls will generally depart from a special sortie channel.

Since the attack channel is also equivalent to the pre-battle supply channel, just like in a game, it is normal to take supplies from the initial supply box.

To facilitate the sorties of ship girls, most naval bases have relatively simple sortie channels and return ports. As long as they don't idly activate their glory form, the ship girls' navigation in human form doesn't require calculating the draft based on their displacement like their original forms.

Given this unscientific setting, the typical naval base's attack channel is simply to build some dikes and create a shallow inner harbor.

It is quite rare for someone like Admiral Adon to build the entire attack channel inside a cave within a mountain.

This type of attack channel construction method is generally used by wartime naval bases that are at the forefront and constantly engaged in deep-sea battles.

For naval bases that are constantly on the brink of war, deep-sea shells could hit them on the head at any moment. Therefore, the sortie channels used to resupply the sortie ships naturally need to be built as concealed and safe as possible.

The admiral of Aden built such a well-hidden outpost for her garrison, which, although considered a frontline, was not exactly a conflict zone. I must commend her for her good sense of crisis, but I should add that it was all for naught.

As a sky ship girl, Adun doesn't need a sortie channel when sortieing, but a spaceport could be used.

Furthermore, the incompatibility between her own technology system and this world means that most supplies are of little use to her, and the supply function of the attack channel itself is also of little significance to Adun.

However, after confirming that this was her third sortie mission in her life, aimed at rescuing the deep-sea heavy cruiser (the first was a patrol, and the second was to build a radar), Adun still took her initial ship girl, Wo-chan, who was her admiral, along to pass by the sortie channel of the naval base.

This doesn't mean that Adun is a conservative ship girl, nor does it mean that she wants to test whether the supplies needed by the human faction are compatible with those needed by the deep-sea ship girls.

The reason why it is necessary to pass through the attack channel is actually very simple: Adun does not want his home base to be attacked by the Deep Sea as soon as he launches an attack.

Regardless of what that deep-sea ship that quietly hid in its own supply depot was trying to do, Adun wanted to tell that deep-sea ship girl whose stealth capabilities seemed decent that, with a technological gap spanning dozens of generations and thousands of years, your stealth technology was as conspicuous as a torch in the dark in the eyes of the phase array system.

Sure enough, after a smiling Adun and a wo-chan munching on aluminum bread marched into the sortie channel one after the other, they saw a deep-sea ship girl with ship equipment that looked like a gas mask lying slumped like a salted fish at the torpedo supply station.

"Wo!!" Before Adun could speak, Wo-chan, upon seeing the deep-sea ship girl, exclaimed and walked to her admiral, spreading her arms wide in a protective pose like an old mother protecting her cub, blocking Adun and the salted fish deep-sea ship.

"What? You're saying this deep-sea submarine is the Princess?" After understanding what Wo-chan's brief exclamation meant, Adon paused for a moment and said in a somewhat disbelieving tone.

“Wowowo!” (A deep-sea princess-class submarine! Admiral, please do not approach!) Sensing Adun’s attempt to push her away, Wo-chan resolutely stopped Adun from getting any closer and warned her.

At the same time, Wo-chan's originally innocent eyes became incredibly sharp, and clusters of golden lightning emanated from her pupils.

When encountering a submarine, no matter what kind of submarine it is, as an aircraft carrier-class ship girl who is naturally countered, you can never be too careful, let alone the fact that the submarine in front of you is a Princess-class submarine.

If I were to meet him at sea, I'm certain I wouldn't have a good ending.

Especially after signing the contract with Admiral Admiral Admiral, Wo-chan made the same mistake as Admiral Admiral, misclassifying Admiral Admiral's so-called support and supply motherships as a type of aircraft carrier-class ship girl.

Even as a combat-oriented aircraft carrier, Wo-chan finds it troublesome to face submarines, let alone Adun, whose name doesn't sound like that of a combat-oriented ship girl. So it's no wonder that Wo-chan stood between Adun and that lazy deep-sea submarine in a protective posture.

Of course, it's also possible that it's out of a protective instinct towards food. From the time Wo-chan became conscious until now, when she has become a senior captain in the deep sea, Ya-dun is the first ship girl whose expression doesn't change at all when she's being fed.

This kind of happiness cannot be destroyed by this Princess submarine.

"Stop..." Seeing that Wo-chan had already opened the mouth of the jellyfish ship above her head and summoned black spheres to attack the Princess submarine, Adon quickly pressed down.

"Wo?" Wo-chan was puzzled by Adon's behavior, but still obeyed the order to stop. However, the black sphere that had been summoned remained floating around her.

"We need to learn to communicate, instead of starting with fighting." After finally getting back to the front by holding down Wo-chan, Adun pointed at the salted fish-like deep-sea submarine and said, "Besides, it's obvious that the other side has no fighting power, so there's no need to be too nervous."

As for why the deep-sea submarine in front of him had become a salted fish, Adun said that he was used to seeing the enemies swept away by the aftermath of psionic storms.

"Wowo, wowowo," Wo-chan said to Adon in her own unique language, implying that the best way to deal with a submarine is to strike while it's down, otherwise, once it recovers, the roles of hunter and prey will be reversed.

"Don't worry, she won't recover so easily." The psionic storm directly affects the soul, and the shock to the soul is not so easily healed. Adun, who has top-notch psionic expertise, said without any pressure, "Didn't you see that she already noticed we were coming?"

When Adon and Wo-chan came over, they did not hide their presence. As the submarine-type Deep Sea Princess who is best at stealth and reconnaissance, there was no reason why she could not detect them.

Unfortunately, despite noticing it, the deep-sea submarine Princess, which had been completely crushed by the aftershocks of the psionic storm, could only open her eyes to see who had defeated her. As for any other thoughts, she couldn't even move a finger.

When the Deepsea Princess's gaze fell upon Adun, upon realizing her identity as a ship girl, a mixture of fear and hatred was undisguisedly revealed in her eyes.
