The Naval Base of the Unnamed Ship Girls

Chapter 99 Sign Up, My Dear (First Update of the Weekend)

Where am I? Are there any boats?

In an ocean of blue, red, and gold starlight, the Nautilus, much smaller than the stars themselves, was shouting in bewilderment.

Freedom is indeed granted, and the Nautilus is no longer bound like a salted fish. However, the Nautilus knows that its current appearance is merely a projection of its spirit, and its true form remains that of a salted fish.

Right now, she is simply the image of her own imprint projected onto the mental network of the deep-sea aircraft carrier wo-chan.

But why is this mental network so strange? A typical Deep Sea Princess mark is basically just a registration board, right? What is this mental network that looks like a galaxy? Is the admiral network of human admirals so different from the mark of the Deep Sea Princess?

And why can't I contact the original body after projecting myself in? Have I fallen into a trap? Have I been tricked? Was everything I said and did part of that terrifying ship girl's plan all along?

Although the psycho-projection doesn't involve being drenched in sweat, the Nautilus is already quite panicked.

In a world devoid of spatial symmetry, the Nautilus, in its panic, crashed headlong into a dark, round sphere beside it.

In an instant, countless pieces of information were poured into the Nautilus's mental projection in a cramming manner.

"Ugh! What Tal'darim Ascended? What Amon? Betrayal? Wrath? Hatred? What the hell is all this stuff?"

Relying on its own spiritual power as the Deep Sea Princess, Nautilus forcibly pulled itself out of the data writing state and found that its spiritual projection had begun to show signs of becoming somewhat ethereal.

The ethereal spiritual projection signifies a significant depletion of spiritual energy, as it is currently unable to contact its true form. The Nautilus knows that if its spiritual projection disappears in this ocean, it will mean the annihilation of its soul.

If I were to encounter that situation, I would either die or be turned into a plant ship. Could this place really be a trap, just to annihilate my spirit and then dissect my body for research?

Wait a minute, shouldn't the most important thing for a Deepsea Princess be the completely transformed soul of an ordinary Deepsea ship girl? Clearly, the current version of herself is the most worthy of study.

Or is the existence of this world solely for the purpose of studying the unique soul of the Deep Sea Princess, or is it a one-off experimental method?

"Help! Someone save me!" The Nautilus, increasingly terrified by its own wild imagination, cried out loudly in the Sea of ​​Stars, too afraid to move.

“As the ancient ship says, every ship is destined to sink, whether it is built or dismantled. Your presence here perfectly proves this saying.” Adun, who had unexpectedly allowed a Deep Sea Princess to infiltrate his Light of Kara, spoke as he immersed his mind within the Light of Kara.

"Who's there?" The Nautilus, who hadn't seen Adun, immediately recognized the ship girl who spoke: "I know it's you, you lousy tying guy, let me out!"

Seeing that the legendary thief was caught off guard and his ship was at the mercy of Adun, Adun, now in a projection, reached out and grabbed a ball of starlight containing a lot of information, then threw it at Adun.

"Ahhh, I was wrong, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, help! Don't let it get closer, I was wrong, I was really wrong!" Just that little black ball had already left him so mentally exhausted. If he were hit by such a huge starlight, wouldn't he just be reduced to ashes without even a struggle?

Finally realizing her predicament, the Nautilus immediately abandoned all dignity befitting a Deep-Sea Princess and loudly begged for mercy.

"That's more like it." Adun teleported in front of the Nautilus, reached out to stop the ball of light he had thrown at him, and pushed away other balls of light that were drifting in from different directions, leaving a relatively safe space.

Then, looking at the Nautilus, which was on the verge of collapse, he said, "Actually, if you could absorb the information from that database, you could at least become a qualified custodian... Of course, that is, provided that your soul doesn't get burst."

The custodian mentioned by Adun is a position within the Protoss Sanctuary specifically responsible for storing knowledge. The construction plan for the Spear of Adun series of doomsday arks was proposed by three of the highest-ranking custodians of the Kalai Protoss, with the aim of preserving the Protoss's flame in the dark future.

"I'd rather not be that damn custodian!" Nautilus, who aspires to become a legendary thief and is already one, doesn't want to die just to change jobs: "By the way, can you let me out? I really won't cause any trouble this time."

Anyway, since I'm on their turf now, it's not a big deal to back down for now. As long as I'm alive, I can always make a comeback. Once I'm free, I'll definitely leave this garrison... no, I mean, as far away from the Pacific Ocean as possible. Sigh... I guess I'll just go back to my old home in the Atlantic.

"Not running anymore?" A slight smile appeared on Adon's lips as he asked, seeing that Nautilus was unaware that any of its thoughts in the Light of Kara would be captured by the administrator, Adon.

"I'm not running away anymore, I really am not running away! From now on, you're my boss, and I'll accept it even if you sign me as a ship girl." In order to protect herself, Nautilus no longer cared about her principles.

Fortunately, she did not build her own deep-sea fleet. If she had a deep-sea fleet like the Deep-Sea Princess near Naval Base No. 666, her subordinates would definitely feel that they had wasted their talents.

"Are you sure?" Adon asked, somewhat surprised that this Deep Sea Princess would actually say something like selling herself for personal gain.

“Of course…but…” Nautilus said after a moment of hesitation, “But because I am a Deep Sea Princess, I will passively attract the convergence of deep-sea energy. If I am left here for too long, one day this place will become a deep-sea area.”

A true lie is nine parts truth and one part falsehood. The Nautilus's claim that the Deep Sea Princess would attract deep-sea energy is indeed true. It's also true that it will eventually become a deep-sea area, but that so-called "too long" time...

If it's an area with low deep-sea activity, like near Temporary Naval Base No. 666, and you want to turn Tidu's naval base into a deep-sea territory, then the Nautilus must serve as a jinchūriki mascot for at least a hundred years.

Furthermore, if the nearby Deep Sea Princess, which can also manipulate deep-sea energy, were unwilling, the Nautilus's passive ability would extend the time it would take to pollute Naval Base 666 with deep-sea energy until the next civilization era.

Unfortunately, when the Nautilus was lying, its own thoughts were completely unguarded. After hearing the Nautilus's words, Adun immediately said, "Okay."

"Well, there's no way around it, after all... Hey, what did you say? You can? Aren't you afraid of being polluted by the abyssal atmosphere? You'll become one of those fallen beings who are neither ship girls nor abyssal beings!!" The Nautilus was stunned again, not expecting to get this answer.

“I said, okay, no problem, let’s sign the contract, fill out this form first.” As he spoke, Adun even conjured a form in the Light of Kara and handed it to the Nautilus.

"Uh, um... this... um..." Looking at the hobbies, personality, and salary requirements sections of the form in his hand, Nautilus was almost a square.

"Can I take it back?"

"Sure, I can stay here for the rest of my life at most."

"I...I'll sign."

The weekend is here again, and it's another two days of overflowing drafts!! Admirals! Throw your favorites, recommendations, and comments at me!

☆ Chapter 100 The Powerful Adun (Second Update This Weekend)

The communication time in the mental space seems to be very long, but in reality it is only a moment. In Wo-chan and Xiao Bei's eyes, the Deep Sea Princess in front of them just looked blank for a moment, and then immediately took a few deep breaths.

“Wo?” (Where’s the aluminum?) Although she didn’t know what had happened, Wo-chan discovered that the other party had not opened the ship’s equipment space as she had said, so that resources could be taken at will.

However, Wo-chan and Xiao Bei no longer needed to worry about this little thing, because right in front of them, the reinforced psionic lock that had been tightly binding the Nautilus unlocked itself.

Thinking that the Deep Sea Princess was about to escape again, Wo-chan quickly retreated to the stove and spread her arms to protect Xiao Bei, just like she had protected Yadun last time.

"Wo!!" (Stay away from Xiao Bei, come at me if you have a problem) Wo-chan's protective reaction made Xiao Bei burst into tears.

"wowo!!" (If you take Xiaobei away, I won't have any deep-sea aluminum to eat.) Who said wo-chan is just an idiot who only knows how to eat? wo-chan already knows perfectly well that Xiaobei is hiding deep-sea aluminum.

"Let me launch a torpedo at this jellyfish first!" A big "well" appeared on Xiao Bei's forehead, feeling that she had been emotionally deceived.

"Hmph, before I went looking for that little heavy cruiser, I was looking for trouble with you. You jellyfish, you're the one who tied me up in that embarrassing way, aren't you! To untie me, I... I..."

The Nautilus's threatening words trailed off as it recalled incidents of ships being lost in the trench, its voice trailing off.

"Wo?" Unfortunately, Wo-chan had already forgotten about her artistic binding of the Nautilus. This kind of thing, which had nothing to do with aluminum, was really not worth remembering for Wo-chan.

"Don't make that gesture! I'm Princess Abyss, you bastard! When I get angry, even I'm afraid of myself!!" Nautilus tried her best to project the aura that a Deep Sea Princess should have.

Unfortunately, because she had already signed a contract with Adon, the imposing aura she displayed only left Xiaobei and Wo-chan feeling somewhat confused, wondering what this Deep Sea Princess was trying to do.

"Whoosh..." The kitchen door opened, and Adun, leading a bunch of ship girls still drinking milk, walked up to the Nautilus and slapped the deep-sea princess on the head, saying:

"Stop fooling around. In terms of seniority, Wo-chan and Xiao Bei are still your seniors. Don't be disrespectful to your seniors."

"But I am a Deep Sea Princess! I demand the treatment a Deep Sea Princess deserves!!" The Nautilus, not daring to be angry with the culprit, could only seek its own interests through negotiation.

"What else can you do besides being a thief?" Adon had long seen through this deep-sea submarine, which had the identity of a Princess but lacked the qualities of a Princess and even the dignity that a deep-sea boss should have.

"...like infiltrating and becoming a spy or something." The Nautilus tried hard to find its purpose.

"Do you have the guts?" Adon looked at him with disbelief that the other party could do the so-called work of an infiltrator spy.

"Hey! I've at least fought that little bastard from the North one-on-one! Although I still don't understand why I would go looking for death! But you can't question my courage!" Nautilus almost jumped up when his sore spot was hit.

"It's from my past life..." Adun's tone was subtle, and her gaze at the now-deep-sea ship girl Nautilus was also subtle.

"It's me in this life, and it was me in the last life too!! What kind of look is that... If you keep looking at me like that... I... I'll... I'll ignore you! Humph!" Nautilus turned its head away, looking smug.

"wowowo?" (What what? Admiral, you actually signed a contract with a deep-sea princess?) After watching the conversation between the Nautilus and Adun for a while, wo-chan finally realized what had happened and exclaimed loudly.

"This is impossible! How could the Deep Sea Princess be signed by the Admiral?! This is not scientific!!" Xiao Bei also had the same incredulous expression.

"What do you mean it's impossible? Hasn't the Deep Sea Princess ever signed a contract with a human admiral before?" Adon's question immediately earned a series of shakes of the head from wo-chan and Xiaobei.

It would be strange if a Deepsea Princess didn't fight tooth and nail with a human admiral, let alone consider signing a contract. At least, neither Wo-chan nor Xiao Bei have ever heard of a Deepsea Princess wanting to become a human admiral.

"In other words, you just haven't heard of the Admiral signing a contract with the Deep Sea Princess, not that the Admiral can't sign a contract with the Deep Sea Princess, right?" Finding the loopholes in Wo-chan and Xiao Bei's words, Adon made a conclusion that was irrefutable.

(That seems to be the case. Why are we speechless even though it's so strange?) Wo-chan and Xiao Bei both wore bewildered expressions.

"Huh? Yaton, you signed for this fish?" Tidus, who was holding a milk bottle and had vowed to live with milk for the rest of her life, asked in surprise.

"To be able to sign a contract with the Deep Sea Princess is truly unheard of." The Prince of Wales, who only liked milk with a fuel flavor, almost crushed the milk bottle in his hand.

"Truly worthy of being called Admiral Adun." The head maid, Renown, was not surprised by what Adun had done. As the only ship girl in the world who knew just how terrifying Adun was, Renown would not be surprised by anything Adun did.

"Can a Princess be contracted to become a ship girl? Isn't it said that the appearance of a Princess is accompanied by the pollution of the deep sea aura?" Rodney, the younger sister, finally realized that her brain was not quite up to par.

"I've never heard of such a thing before. As for the pollution from the deep sea aura, Lord Adun should have a solution, right?" Nelson, the older sister, once again felt her worldview crumbling. What kind of bizarre situation was it that the Deep Sea Princess had become a ship girl?

If the Deep Sea Princess could become a ship girl, then given her combat prowess, she would definitely find a few clueless, traitorous admirals in the human camp to grant them powerful admiral buffs...

Compared to this situation, the so-called deep-sea aura pollution is insignificant. Didn't you see how Yaton used to play with the deep-sea aura on Wo-chan before?

"Perhaps it's because my admiral's mental network is different from the other admirals' mental networks," Adun vaguely concluded, seeing the various expressions on the faces of these ship girls and half-ship girls.

“That’s right. Admiral’s mental network level is super high. If you weren’t a ship girl, people would believe you if you said you were the governor.” Tidu, whose worldview had already been cleansed by Admiral, filled in the background herself.

"A governor-level mental network..." Only after Tidu's reminder did the ship girls from Naval Base 233 realize the difference between Admiral Adon's mental network, which symbolized her as the admiral, and their own admiral's.

Purer, more vast, more...

The first reaction of the ship girl from Naval Base No. 233 was that Adun was actually the governor.

Arton was originally the governor, which seemed like a minor inconvenience to me.

After all, the mental network of a governor-level admiral is nothing compared to what Adun has shown elsewhere.

---------

Actually, if you count, this should be Chapter 101.

☆ Chapter 101 Xiao Bei's Midnight Snack (Third Update)

.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's have some late-night snacks." Seeing that the ship girls in the room were looking at her strangely, Adun decided to change the subject.

"Why would there be a midnight snack?" Nelson explained that British ship girls only have afternoon tea and don't have the habit of eating midnight snacks.

"Well, I arranged it. After the barbecue, we'll take a bath, and then go out for a late-night snack. That's what it means to enjoy life." Seeing that Aden was so obedient in arranging the late-night snack, Tidus felt that this secretary ship hadn't been wasted on her training.

"Speaking of which, where are Xia and her crazy ship girl?" Tidu asked curiously, glancing at the ship girls who had entered the restaurant and not finding her little brother or the war fortress ship girl.

"Young Master and Yuriko went to bed first, saying they wanted to comfort her," the head maid replied to Tidu's question.

"Hey, who are you calling a lunatic?!" Rodney retorted, clearly annoyed.

Unfortunately, Nelson covered her mouth and dragged her aside as soon as she finished speaking. Since they were the ones who attacked first, they were in the wrong. It was perfect that the other party thought Omega Yuriko had some mental problems, although it should be mental illness rather than neurosis.
