The Naval Base of the Unnamed Ship Girls

"What does 'the most comfortable days' mean?" After learning that this "Hime" was the legendary submarine, Tidu's expression remained full of curiosity.

"I only remember that during that period, I didn't go hungry." In an instant, the majesty of the Deep Sea Princess was destroyed by the Nautilus itself.

"..." In an instant, whether they understood or not, the ship girls and the admirals all turned their attention to the Prince of Wales, who claimed that he had been with the Nautilus during that time.

"Ahem... The battle was fierce across the Pacific at the time, and she and I picked up a lot of abandoned supplies in the back." In the mist of repair fluid vapor, the Prince of Wales' face flushed as he recalled these memories.

"..." Unexpectedly, a legendary ship girl, a near-hero-level ship girl, had experienced the kind of life of scavenging for scraps. For a moment, the repair ditch fell silent.

"I remember now, Renown told me that the Prince of Wales had a rather miserable time when he joined Father's fleet." Charlotte, who had been facing away from her sisters, turned around as if she had remembered something and said loudly.

Then, I was immediately blinded by the blinding white light in front of me. I quickly turned around, covered my eyes, and silently recited the words "If the heart is pure as ice, one will not be alarmed even if the sky falls; do not look at what is improper."

Ignoring the innocent young man's reaction, after hearing what the young master of Naval Base No. 233 said, all the ship girls and half-ship girls, including the Prince of Wales, looked at the head maid, Renown, next to them.

Especially the Prince of Wales's eyes, which seemed to say, "You promised to keep this a secret, how could you tell the young master? You're going to challenge me to a duel later."

"In my opinion, that is not a shameful thing..." The head maid, who was smiling and seemingly oblivious to the stares, bowed slightly and swayed a certain part of her body before saying, "On the contrary, in my eyes, those things are actually things worthy of honor."

"Is it honorable to live a precarious life like a rat, following behind the deep sea?" Now that he had brought up his reputation, the Prince of Wales no longer shied away from his less-than-glorious history.

"But it was precisely because of Your Highness's crucial intelligence that the Admirals were able to discover the operational patterns of the Northern Princess Fleet, ultimately enabling them to defeat that terrifying fleet." The Admiral that Renown referred to was naturally not the two young Admirals present.

Instead, they were veteran admirals, represented by the current admiral of Naval Base No. 233, that battleship fanatic, who had participated in the Northern Deep Sea Expedition.

"Your Highness, you've had a long journey." Since he wasn't wearing clothes and didn't have a hat in his hand, Nelson simply made a gesture of tipping his hat in respect.

"I had just broken up with her and was looking for a place to stay." It seems the Prince of Wales had no intention of accepting Nelson's respect.

"I don't even remember ever seeing you, what do you mean by 'we've fallen out'..." The Nautilus, the Thief Princess, has something to say about the Prince of Wales' statement.

"And then what?" Adun asked, yawning. As someone who had seen too many heroes, Ark of the Protoss didn't care about these things. Seeing that the topic had returned to the fish, he asked.

"Later? What later?" Regardless of what the other ship girls did, Nautilus absolutely dared not ignore Adun's words, not to mention that terrifying psionic storm and the enormous ship that could be seen from a great distance.

The mere act of Adun casually retrieving Omega Yuriko from the deep sea was enough for her to regard Adun as the most terrifying enemy, far more so than the reckless Northern Princess.

"After you parted ways with the Prince of Wales, oh, you don't remember the Prince of Wales, so what were you doing after the Northern Fleet was destroyed?" Adun added to his question.

"Being familiar with its deep-sea form," Nautilus replied after recalling and clarifying the timeline.

"Was it sunk? Who sunk it?" Even if the other party no longer remembered him and had joined another side, it was clear that the Prince of Wales still cared about the Nautilus.

"Of course it was that little bastard, Northern Princess. I don't know what got into me back then to challenge her. I didn't expect her to be so ruthless. She defeated me in one move. I had sneaked up to be so close to her back then."

"..."

This is the third update. There will be a fourth update later tonight. The number of favorites is decreasing. This "small mosquito leg" recommendation is indeed the worst, bar none!

Chapter 93 Peace is Wonderful (Fourth Update in Celebration)

"I see. Haven't you thought about revenge?"

Nelson glanced at the Prince of Wales, who seemed somewhat disappointed that the Nautilus had forgotten him, and asked, seemingly lost in thought.

"Anyway, the North has already sunk, so who can I take revenge on? Besides, I'm still alive now." The Nautilus was quite philosophical about this.

"And I want to make one thing clear: whether you believe it or not, I, whether I am a ship girl or a deep-sea creature, do not have the innate hostility you are talking about."

Nautilus, who spoke these words in a very serious tone, was prepared to be ridiculed as before, but to her surprise, the ship girls and one and a half ship girls present all wore expressions of indifference.

"Don't you guys find this strange?" Nautilus, still in its "zongzi" (rice dumpling) state, was having trouble keeping up.

"If a ship girl had said that to me a few days ago, I would have strongly refuted it, let alone an Abyssal ship girl. I would only regard such words as a means of deception."

Nelson sighed at the fact that his worldview had been overly corrected in the past few days, and then said, "As for now, I don't want to comment on this kind of thing."

As she spoke, she glanced out of the corner of her eye at the Protoss Ark ship girl, Adun, who was deep in thought with her arms crossed.

"Me too. All I can say is that it's not that we don't understand, it's that times are changing too fast."

Tidu made no attempt to hide his provocative gaze on Adun, but when it landed on a massive spot on Adun's body, the provocation turned into submission.

"Wo" I don't know if it's because Titi said she wanted Wo-chan to be her secretary ship that moved this deep-sea aircraft carrier who values ​​aluminum tubes as everything, but every time Titi expresses an opinion, Wo-chan always chimes in with a comment.

"I remember... the Nautilus back then truly showed no hostility towards the Deep Sea," the Prince of Wales said, searching his memory. "I thought it was simply because she was very powerful that she could perfectly suppress her hostile impulses, but I never expected..."

"I didn't expect that she, like Patriarch Adon, didn't have an innate hostile impulse?" The head maid added the words that the Prince of Wales wanted to say but didn't.

In fact, after being transformed into an Immortal ship girl by Adun, Renown realized that she could hardly feel any hostility towards the Abyssal ship girls. She originally thought that it was just because she had become stronger after being transformed by Adun that she could completely ignore the hostility towards the Abyssal. Now it seems that the reason must be something else.

"Is it because of the fantasy ship girls?" Kogan, who had been unable to get a word in edgewise during the older women's conversation, finally found an opportunity to share his opinion.

Then he was rewarded with looks from the British ship girls at Naval Base No. 233, who looked at him like he was an idiot.

"If fantasy ship girls didn't harbor any hostility towards the deep sea, this would have been exposed long ago," Rodney said, trying to assert his presence by mocking Kogan's lack of knowledge.

“That’s right. Even fantasy ship girls have an innate hostility towards deep-sea ship girls. It’s just that they’re not very suited for combat, so they rarely appear on the front lines.” Nelson didn’t scold her sister for being polite, or rather, she didn’t have the mind to care about such trivial matters right now.

"So, is the Nautilus an exception? Could it be that the Nautilus, like Adun, is a special ship girl?" Tidu thought of a result that wasn't even a result.

“But the Nautilus also showed no hostility toward other fantasy ship girls.” Nelson said, glancing again at Adun, who was deep in thought with her eyes closed.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Adun, who could count the number of hairs on every ship girl present without even opening her eyes, retorted, mimicking Nelson by only opening one eye.

"Hey, Adun, aren't you going to say anything?" Tidu asked hurriedly when he saw Adun finally speak. Although Adun hadn't been summoned for very long, he had already successfully formed an image in his admiral's mind as someone who lacked common sense but was very knowledgeable.

"My opinion?" Yaton glanced at her admiral, wondering why this kind of dilemma for the native ship girls required her, a special ship girl, to offer her opinion.

Ardon, who was already somewhat confused about the unique and inherent antagonistic relationship between the native ship girls and the deep-sea ship girls of this world, never expected that she would encounter the same problem herself.

With a deep sigh, Adun glanced at Omega Yuriko, still lying unconscious in the repair bay, crouched down, and tapped the enhanced psionic ropes on the Nautilus, untying the legendary submarine thief. He then said:

"In any case, it should be a good thing that there is no inherent hostility between them, right?"

"Is this a good thing?" Adun's words drew sidelong glances from the ship girl of Naval Base No. 233.

"In our view, without this inherent hostility, we often wouldn't notice the other's approach, and it might even allow those sneaky deep-sea creatures to hide inside and cause even greater damage." Nelson, who disagreed with Adun's statement, spoke on behalf of the other ship girls.

"wowowowo!!" (We deep sea creatures don't sneak around! We wouldn't even take a place without the aura of the deep sea if it were given to us. It's you who are sneaking in and causing trouble.)

Although almost no one can understand Wo-chan's Wo language, Wo-chan can at least understand what the other ship girls are saying. Hearing Nelson's blunt sarcasm, Wo-chan immediately retorted loudly. At the same time, the tentacles on the jellyfish ship equipment also swayed excitedly.

"That's right, that's right." Xiao Bei, whose body was in the ship girl group but whose heart was in the deep sea, stood on the same side as wo-chan.

“I mean… your argument is based on the premise that ship girls and deep-sea ship girls are enemies, right?” Adun frowned and spread her hands, saying, “If they weren’t enemies from the beginning, none of this would have happened. Without inherent hostility, you shouldn’t have been able to fight each other, since you’re all of the same race.”

That being said, Adun couldn't take that statement seriously. Let alone those races that were still in the early stages of civilization, even at the level of the Protoss, the infighting between different clans was a bloody affair.

However, it was obvious that, due to their inherent antagonism, the two factions of ship girls, who had never considered such a problem before, were stunned by Adun's words.

The frozen scene made the newly freed submarine thief feel as if he had grasped the pulse of freedom.

"A great opportunity!!" Nautilus suddenly stood up and darted out, activating her special ability as she disappeared in the repair bathhouse of Naval Base 666 in a few moments.

The ship girls, who hadn't expected this to happen, looked at each other in bewilderment.

"...This ship is really giving us a lot of trouble." The first one to come to his senses, Adun covered his face and muttered to himself as his entire body turned into pieces of blue mosaic scattered all over the ground.

A few seconds later, while the other ship girls were still in a daze, Adun, who had returned from "fishing," threw a nautilus that was nauseous and gagging due to warp jumps onto the ground, and picked up the enhanced psionic rope that she had just untied.

"I surrender, I surrender, I won't run anymore!! I really won't run anymore!!" Nautilus, who had quickly recovered from the dizziness, begged for mercy with a tearful voice when he saw Adun's actions.

Despite her best efforts and the use of all her trump cards, why was she still caught?! At this moment, the legendary thief ship girl Nautilus was devastated.

"late."

Unfortunately, the Nautilus was once again tied up like a salted fish and thrown into the repair canal. The only difference was that before it was wearing clothes, but this time it was stripped naked, tied up, and thrown into the repair canal.

They call it removing the fishy smell from this fish!

----------

Celebrating the author's fourth update on South Dakota!!

☆, Chapter Ninety-Four, there are already so many chapters!

While the ship girls were considering how to deal with the thief submarine, Omega Yuriko, whose repair speed had passed the critical point and who had finally recovered from her near-death state of severe damage, twitched her eyelids slightly.

Omega, thinking that no one had noticed its movement and wanting to maintain this posture to observe the situation first, was clearly disappointed.

For some reason, the noisy surroundings suddenly became quiet. Omega Yuriko, who had been holding back for a while, couldn't help but slightly open her eyes to see what had happened.

Then he saw Charlotte, the young master who had summoned him to this world, standing very close to him with an expression that revealed both worry and anticipation.

"Ah... young master..." Omega Yuriko's voice when she spoke was not a purely electronic synthesized voice like when she was arguing with Ardon, but a weak voice mixed with a little bit of electronic sound, just like her appearance.

"Omega!" Seeing that the madness in Omega Yuriko's eyes had disappeared and that she recognized her at first glance, an excited Charlotte gave her initial ship girl a very warm hug.

...After a brief silence...

"Aa ...

"Should we call the military police?" Adun asked the head maid beside him, withdrawing his gaze from Charlotte's flight into the sky.

"Huh? Sister Adun? Is there a military police force at the naval base now? Where is it?" Before the ship girl at Naval Base 233 could react to Adun's words, Kogan asked excitedly.

"...Why are you so agitated, Kokang?" Adon asked curiously, not understanding what was going on.

"The book says that the biggest obstacle preventing destroyer girls from getting along well with the admiral is the military police," Kogan said with a very serious expression.

“I think…” After glancing at Kokang’s flat-chested figure and the height of an elementary school student, Yadun realized what was going on and said, “Kokang, you must have made a mistake somewhere.”

"Really?" Kokang, not knowing where he had gone wrong, fell into disappointment.

"I'm telling you, are you just going to watch like this? Aren't you afraid your young master will fall to his death?" Yaton pointed to the human-shaped hole in the ceiling.

"It's nothing to the young master." The head maid seemed unconcerned about her young master turning into a shooting star.

"Don't worry, Xia is very strong. Otherwise, how could he have the honor of becoming my little brother?" Tidu, who had stood up from the repair canal and walked to Adon's side, stood on tiptoe and patted his Otti Proof on the shoulder, saying in a tone that there was no problem.

Sure enough, a dozen seconds later, accompanied by increasingly closer shouts, the young master of Naval Base No. 233 once again smashed a human-shaped crater into the ceiling of the repair channel of Naval Base No. 666, and plunged into the warm repair fluid with a splash.

"..." Seeing Charlotte floating on the repair fluid with her body inside, Adun could only sigh and say that even if the intelligent life form that had been integrated with the bloodline of the ship girls did not awaken the power of the ship girls, it still inherited a lot.

Charlotte's sheer physical resilience is more than enough to qualify her as a Zealot within the Protoss's Sanctuary hierarchy.

"Oh, young master, young master, young master, don't scare me! It's Omega's fault! Young master, please wake up!" Charlotte's clumsy feigning death was seen through by most of the ship girls present, but at least he achieved his goal.

Realizing what she had done, the Rising Sun Empire's all-purpose war fortress ship girl disregarded the introverted and shy nature of Japanese ship girls and stumbled over from her repair station to hug Charlotte and call out with concern.

Seeing Omega Yuriko being turned around and tightly gripped by Charlotte like a lamb to the slaughter, Adun was speechless. Was this still the same Japanese ship girl who had attacked without warning?
