The Naval Base of the Unnamed Ship Girls

Everyone felt that if Hyperion continued to ask questions, it would become the most serious stain on their lives.

"Enough with the nonsense. What do you want to do in this area, and how did you get here?"

Adun picked up the interrogation form of Hyperion and glanced at it. As he casually tossed the throwing weapon and hit Hyperion on the head, he asked the deep-sea submarine U-571 in front of him.

"We received orders to come here and snipe a very important human admiral."

Since they were going to die anyway, and didn't care about the consequences of confessing, U-571 answered seriously:

"As for how we infiltrated this area, I remember that a ship girl led the captain and the others, but I was underwater the whole time and didn't know who it was."

“The Fallen Ones…” Renown gritted his teeth upon hearing U-571’s words.

“No, they are not Awakened Ones. Although I couldn’t see what those ship girls looked like because they were far away, I can guarantee that they are not Awakened Ones,” U-571 quickly retorted upon hearing Renown’s statement.

"An Awakened One?" Adun glanced at the reputation beside him with some surprise.

"Those deep-sea ship girls all call ship girls who head towards the deep sea 'Awakeners.'" Reputation gave a simple explanation to Adun's question.

“I smell a conspiracy,” Hyperion, still wearing the interrogation slip on his head, said as he approached.

"It certainly smells like a conspiracy. If it's not the Fallen Ones leading these Abyssal ship girls, could it be infighting among the admirals?" Adun said, recalling the endless political struggles that had emerged since the establishment of the Protoss Arbitration Council of Calais.

"That's probably impossible. Getting involved with the Deep Sea is a serious crime of treason," Reputation said, sounding somewhat incredulous.

"It's just a cricket betraying its country; don't overestimate the bottom line of humanity." Hyperion had an expression that suggested he had seen it all.

"Such a risk, even if it is true, it certainly wouldn't be an ordinary power struggle." After thinking for a moment and making a note of it, Adun asked U-571, "Then who is the admiral you're trying to snipe?"

"I don't know, only the captain and vice-captain know." U-571 indicated that he was just a low-level soldier and didn't know much.

Upon hearing U-571's response, all the ship girls present turned their gazes toward Kaga, who was secretly drinking.

"Ah, if the Admiral needs it, Kaga can take on the memories of the past," Kaga said, quickly hiding his hands behind his back to conceal the sake bottle.

“…Hmm, no need.” Ardon felt he shouldn’t go back on his word.

"Is she the vice-captain?" U-571 asked, looking at Kaga, who seemed both strange and familiar.

"Remember your place, you are a prisoner now!" Hyperion said, his gavel confiscated, leaving him only able to continue slamming his hand on the table.

The result was that a second human-shaped brand appeared on the wall.

“Yes, you’re right, she was your vice-captain, or at least she used to be,” Ardon replied to U-571.

Pharah, who sees glory as everything, and Roadhog, who is abandoned and betrayed and sees his beliefs in glory as worthless.

The two met, fought, became acquainted... and then...

"Fat pig!" "French chicken!"

"You fat pig!" "You stinking French chicken!"

"Marco..." "Just keep calling me that fat pig."

The content is a bit heavy. I don't know why I thought of this pairing. It was probably when I was flying up and shouting "Justice Heaven..." that a pig pulled me down and we both died.

And this scene was even awarded MVP.

☆, Chapter 191 Well done

"So the vice-captain was Kaga? No, no, no, he must have just become Kaga after the battle." U-571 seemed to be trying to accept reality as he muttered to himself.

"Is your name your model number?" Adun asked the somewhat conflicted U-571.

“No, the name and model of our deep-sea submarines are irrelevant. I thought you should know that…” U-571 replied, recalling his experience of being captured.

Heaven knows why there's a Deep Sea Princess in this human faction's fleet, and a submarine Princess at that.

"Oh, I see." Ardon glanced at Nautilus, who was still hiding behind the interrogation room door, wanting to come in but not daring to, and peeking inside from the doorway.

"So, what are the characteristics of the admirals you received orders to snipe?" Reputation asked, seeing that Adun and Hyperion had been asking questions for a long time without getting to the point.

"I only remember that before I made contact with you, the captain described the target's characteristics to me when he ordered me to go into hiding," U-571 recalled. "He said that it was traveling with only one Hero-class Essex aircraft carrier, and there were no other escort fleet admirals."

"Wo?" Upon hearing U-571 mention the Essex aircraft carrier, Wo-chan curiously uttered a "wo".

“Hmm…” Ardon remained silent for a long time after hearing U-571’s reply.

"It feels like we've shielded that Admiral Yin Wu from disaster?" Hyperion said in a somewhat strange tone.

"It must all be fate's arrangement." After thinking for a long time, Yaton felt that the meal Yin Wu treated them to was not in vain.

"Fate?" The ship girls of Naval Base No. 233 expressed their incomprehension at Adun's words.

"This is a habit of the Protoss. When they encounter a coincidence, they all say it's fate. But when they actually encounter something that gets in their way, they all want to defy fate." Hyperion indicated to the ship girls of Naval Base 233 that they didn't need to mind.

Because U-571 was just a minor soldier in that deep-sea fleet, the captain and vice-captain who actually carried out the mission were one destroyed by a single shot from the Renown and the other blasted into Kaga by the Hyperion.

After trying to get information indirectly for a long time, no truly useful information was obtained. All that was known was that everyone had helped Admiral Yin Wu, who was out reporting for duty (on his honeymoon) with his ship girl, to avoid a disaster.

Why snipe in the heart of the human ship girl faction's territory? And what was the reason for the snipe? Where did those ship girls who led these deep-sea ship girls to infiltrate the heart of the territory come from?

None of this was something that a mere soldier on U-571, who was only responsible for carrying out orders, could know.

In particular, U-571 was originally just a reserve member, but was only assigned to the team because the target this time was a hero-class aircraft carrier. Some other intelligence was also very fragmented and not very systematic.

He stopped Hyperion from asking U-571 what he liked to eat and what kind of underwear he liked to wear.

After exchanging glances, Adun and Renown decided to end the interrogation there.

"Could you be a little gentler? I'm a little afraid of pain," U-571 said sadly, knowing that he was about to arrive at the last moment.

"What do you mean, 'gently'?" Ardon, who hadn't quite grasped the situation, paused for a moment.

"Naturally, it will be time to execute me." Aside from praying that she would be reborn as a ship girl in her next life, U-571 didn't think about anything else.

“Hmm…” Ardon fell silent after hearing what U-571 said.

"Does the Master wish to recruit her?" Renown, who knew that Adun could form contracts with deep-sea ship girls, asked.

“That’s possible…” Ardon called out hesitantly toward the door, “Nautilus.”

"Coming, coming, what are your orders, boss?" Nautilus, who had been eavesdropping at the door, obediently darted in.

"Do you want this submarine? I'll give it to you?" Adun asked the Nautilus, pointing to the U-571, which looked completely bewildered.

"Why would I give it to you? I don't have the habit of eating my own kind..." Nautilus said, pretending not to understand what Adun was saying.

"...Do deep-sea creatures have a habit of eating their own kind?" Ardon asked curiously in response to Nautilus's statement.

"Well...maybe." Ardon said awkwardly to Nautilus, who had taken his casual remark seriously.

"Stop joking, I was asking about what it would be like if she followed you in the future, like Kaga followed Wo-chan." Ardon smiled and asked, seeing Nautilus's awkwardness.

"A submarine squadron?" The Nautilus was in an even more awkward position.

"What's wrong?" Arden asked, not knowing why the Nautilus was reacting this way.

"Sir, submarines rarely travel in formation," the Nautilus from the Reputation faction explained. Due to the unique nature of submarine warfare, most submarines operate independently.

Even if it's exposed, only that one ship will suffer. Forming a submarine fleet, on the other hand, only increases the possibility of being exposed and serves no other purpose.

"So, you don't need the Nautilus?" Ardon asked again to confirm.

"Of course, I'm Princess Qi! My first subordinate should be at least a colonel like Wo-chan, how could I be so casual?" Nautilus said, looking down on U-571.

“…” After looking at the Nautilus with eyes full of distrust, Adun said to Hyperion, “Then execute it.”

"That's exactly what I've been waiting for." Hyperion happily pulled out a small revolver, turned the magazine, aimed the bullet at the barrel, and fired it at U-571's head.

“This gun looks familiar…” Adon said, glancing at the small revolver in Hyperion’s hand.

“That’s right, this is a knock-off of Commander Lei’s sidearm.” Hyperion said, about to pull the trigger.

"Wait, you're not really going to execute her so easily, are you?" Nautilus, who hadn't expected Adun to be so decisive, quickly said.

“She’s on a different side, she should be prepared,” Adun said, looking at U-571, who was trembling with her eyes closed but did not beg for mercy.

"Leaving a deep-sea submarine unattended in the heart of the ocean poses a great danger." Renown and the ship girls from Naval Base No. 233 also supported Adun's actions.

"Alright, alright, I'll reluctantly accept her," Nautilus said, abandoning her supposed pride as Princess Suzuki.

Upon hearing what the Nautilus said, Adun smiled slightly, and Hyperion also smiled as he pulled the trigger. The crisp sound of the gun empty made the Nautilus pause for a moment.

"Well done!" Hyperion, having put away his small revolver, patted the Nautilus and said, "I have high hopes for your future as a lone shadow."

"What's going on? What do you mean, Shadow Walker?" The Nautilus was completely bewildered. It noticed that U-571, whose ship had suddenly turned around, had also opened its eyes, revealing a blank expression.

I'm thinking, maybe it would be better to delete the game.

Chapter 192 Adon, who possesses the power of a governor

Under Adun's care, when the Nautilus intended to use the power of the Princess to strip Yu of the Princess's mark, it was surprised to find that Yu did not have the mark of another Princess.

It was a contract with an admiral.

"Admiral? Could this deep-sea fleet be a fleet under the command of an admiral?" Upon hearing what the Nautilus said, the ship girls of Naval Base No. 233 all turned their gazes toward Adun.

“It’s not your human admiral.” Nautilus released her grip on U-571 and continued in a subtle tone, “I’ve seen this aura before; it’s the contract of an Abyssal admiral.”

"Abyssal Admiral?!" The entire room fell silent. Apart from Adun and Hyperion, who didn't know much about him, the other ship girls seemed to be very wary of the Abyssal Admiral who betrayed his own kind and turned his sword against his own kin.

"It's the Deep Sea Admiral! I need to report this to the naval base immediately." With that, Renown left the room, apparently because what she was going to report was confidential.

"The R'lyeh Cult and the Deep Sea Admiral?" One mystery had not yet been solved, and another had been added. Feeling somewhat annoyed, Adun violently tore up the Deep Sea Admiral's contract and then ordered the Nautilus to find out who the admiral behind U-571 was.

"Why am I the one asking?" Nautilus didn't understand why she was being given this seemingly crucial question.

“She’s your soldier now, so it’s your turn to ask her.” For the first time, Hyperion patted Nautilus on the shoulder and said.

"My soldiers? What do you mean?" Nautilus exclaimed in surprise as the chains binding U-571 automatically untied themselves.

"Reporting, Captain." U-571 gave the Nautilus a salute similar to that given to Prinz Eugen.

"What did I just see? Why have I been having hallucinations lately?" Vanguard said, still shaken by Ayton's forceful tearing of the Admiral's contract.
