Crossing the azure as a black dragon

"I am Suzutani, a heavy cruiser. Nice to meet you."

Suzuya is a beautiful girl with long black hair and a great figure. She has two red horns on her head.

Unfortunately, she didn't look too good right now, with a forced smile on her face.

"Yozuki, destroyer."

Xiaoyue has beautiful long indigo hair tied back with a pretty big bow. She is sitting on the sofa with a blank expression.

"I am Hatakaze, a destroyer. I look forward to your guidance on this mission."

Wearing a gray-brown kimono, Hatakaze pushed up her glasses and spoke calmly.

"I am Nagara, a light cruiser. Please feel free to entrust the escort mission to me."

Nagara was the most normal-looking of the four, with a gentle smile on his lips, though he was gripping the sofa tightly with both hands.

“I am the leader of this mission, Prince of Wales. This is your first mission since joining the port. You don’t need to do much. Just follow behind me.”

"Just the day before yesterday, we discovered that a large number of sirens had sneaked into the defense line. In order to prevent the sirens from injuring people, we will launch a three-day patrol and annihilate the sirens as soon as they are discovered."

After introducing himself, the Prince of Wales clapped his hands and explained the mission.

After saying that, he winked at the black dragon.

"I have a question."

Black Flying Dragon understood immediately and raised his hand to ask a question.

"Please speak."

The Prince of Wales was very pleased with the Black Dragon's reaction.

"I lost a lot of my carrier-based aircraft before joining the port area, and I want to know where to replenish them."

Black Dragon remembered Helena's instructions: this situation, where they might encounter the Sirens, was a good opportunity to resupply for free.

"This is a very important matter, please remember it. If you encounter Sirens during your mission, or if you do encounter Sirens during your mission, you can go to the armory for a free resupply afterward. Otherwise, you will have to pay for your own supplies."

"After being injured, you can go to a public bathhouse to soak in the water, where converted energy blocks are added to accelerate the healing of injuries."

"Any more questions?"

The Prince of Wales dutifully provided an explanation.

"Can we go back to the original port area?"

Xiaoyue raised her hand to ask a question.

"That's impossible now. That area has been occupied by the Sirens. The only way to get back is to defeat the Sirens that are occupying it."

The Prince of Wales spoke frankly.

"Of course, this encompasses all the commissions from the entire Eastern Empire. If one day someone offers us a hefty sum to reclaim that sea area..."

The Prince of Wales then changed the subject.

"I understand."

Xiaoyue remained silent.

The other three also didn't seem inclined to speak.

"Since there are no problems, I'll take you to the armory. This mission is quite dangerous."

The Prince of Wales breathed a sigh of relief and said.

The four seated men stood up, and together with the Black Dragon, they left the hall with the Prince of Wales.

Once outside the office building, Black Dragon and the Prince of Wales walked closer together, while Suzuya and his group of four walked a little further away.

"what happened?"

Black Flying Dragon looked at the four people behind him and asked.

"Their port was attacked by the Sirens. The four of them escaped with their seriously wounded commander. The commander was sent to the hospital and has been in a coma ever since. They were assigned to our side."

The Prince of Wales sighed.

In recent years, the Sirens' offensive has become increasingly fierce, and the human leadership has been unable to come up with a corresponding solution. Relying on the commanders and ship girls' defense is simply not enough to stop the Sirens, and the current defense line is in a state of being slowly swallowed up.

"..."

Black Dragon remained silent. Where there is war, there is sacrifice; this is an unchangeable fact.

"Don't worry, the human leadership will definitely come up with a way to deal with the Sirens. Until then, we will hold them off."

The Prince of Wales smiled confidently.

Is there really a way?

The Black Dragon seems a bit risky.

"In that era, could you have imagined that someone would wake you up again in the future?"

The Prince of Wales tilted his chin slightly upward.

"That's true."

Black Dragon seemed to understand something.

"The armory is just ahead. Be careful of the cat inside, or you'll get slaughtered."

As they walked, the group arrived at a warehouse that was completely surrounded, with only one large door remaining. Wales gave them a heads-up.

"A man-eating cat?"

Black Dragon suddenly felt a toothache.

Chapter Ten: Restraint

"Welcome, meow~"

As soon as I entered the armory, I heard a welcoming sound. A green cat was lying on a table to the side, and it jumped up as soon as it saw someone come in.

"What do you need, meow?"

Akashi rubbed his hands together and approached the group.

"this."

The Prince of Wales handed over a mission card.

"Tsk, please make yourself at home."

Akashi took the card, glanced at it, clicked her tongue in disgust, turned around and sat back down at the table, wagging her tail.

"You can choose whatever you need, but it's best to take things you can actually use."

The Prince of Wales turned to the black dragon and spoke.

"kindness."

Black Dragon responded, then looked up at the interior of the armory. There were more than a dozen small rooms inside, each labeled with the type of warship. Black Dragon looked around, found the aircraft carrier's room, and stepped inside.

"drop."

A voice rang out as I walked through the door.

Black Dragon frowned slightly, his gaze sweeping across the room. He saw a model-sized SB2C Helldiver placed steadily on a table. There were nine other empty tables in the room.

She stepped forward and touched the Hell Diver, and the model airplane instantly turned into blue stardust that floated into her body.

What's the principle behind this?

Black Dragon didn't understand, but she could feel that the dozen or so missing carrier-based aircraft in her cockpit had been replaced.

After the plane was replenished, Black Dragon turned and left the room, only to see Wales talking to Akashi at the door.

"Is everything replenished?"

Upon seeing the black dragon approaching, the Prince of Wales stopped talking to the cat.

"kindness."

Black Dragon nodded.

"You may not have seen this before, but this armory can scan our situation and directly generate ship equipment. Isn't that convenient?"

The Prince of Wales noticed the black dragon's confusion and explained it directly.

"It is indeed very convenient."

Black Dragon didn't understand the principles, but that didn't stop her from thinking the technology was amazing.

"Here you go."

After the two finished speaking, Akashi took out a small blue Rubik's Cube from the table drawer and reluctantly handed it to the Prince of Wales.

"Our main task is to patrol and eliminate the Sirens. While patrolling, we can collect energy generated by the ocean. This cube is the collector."

The Prince of Wales used a Rubik's Cube to explain things to the black dragon.

"Can the ocean generate energy?"

The black dragon was rather strange.

"Normally, it wouldn't happen, but in recent years our battles with the Sirens have become increasingly fierce, and the ocean has changed accordingly, randomly generating some energy debris."

The Prince of Wales explained.

"I see."

Black Dragon found it amazing, but the world was already amazing enough.
