Crossing the azure as a black dragon

Black Flying Dragon muttered something, then noticed Nagara and

Xiaoyue was staring at her.

"nothing."

Xiaoyue quickly shook her head, and Changliang also smiled slightly.

"By the way, how did you take care of those ten Sirens?"

It was only then that the Prince of Wales remembered to inquire about this matter.

"We were overwhelmed by planes. Now all I have left are reconnaissance aircraft. Can I replenish our fleet when we go back?"

Black Dragon asked a rather practical question.

"Unfortunately, it's not legally permissible, but perhaps you could try negotiating with Akashi using that Rubik's Cube?"

The Prince of Wales looked helpless.

"good."

Black Flying Dragon clicked his tongue.

"Haha, let's go back. Hood will finish the rest of the patrol for us. We've been on patrol for so long, shall we go soak in the repair pool together?"

The Prince of Wales smiled and led his entourage on the journey back to port.

"Sure, Wales, how's your relationship with Eugen?"

"It's alright, why are you asking this?"

"I'm just a little curious."

"..."

The sound gradually faded into the distance, and the ocean returned to calm.

After returning to the port, Black Dragon and the others followed the Prince of Wales to the public bathhouse.

"This is a really nice place."

Black Flying Dragon looked at the steaming bath. The entire bathhouse was divided into four sections, all surrounded by stones, with water flowing from fountains and decorated with green leaves, giving it a soothing visual appeal.

"Right, two of the four pools are regular pools, one is for minor injuries and one is for serious injuries."

The Prince of Wales, wearing a bathrobe, gave an introduction.

"We're probably all only slightly injured."

Black Flying Dragon looked at the others. This bathhouse had a special place for changing clothes, with bathrobes inside, but since everyone present was a woman, they just casually wrapped themselves in them.

"Okay, let's go inside first."

The Prince of Wales responded and led them to a pool in the middle where they soaked.

"Ouch, that feels so good."

Black Dragon went inside, found a comfortable spot to sit down, and made a contented sound.

Before long, she felt the wound on her left hand healing, and it was a little itchy.

The Prince of Wales smiled, leaned back against the rock, and closed his eyes.

After soaking for a while, the group left the bathhouse and changed back into their original clothes.

The most convenient thing about this bathhouse is that it has a high-end washing machine. You can throw your old clothes in and it will wash and dry them in about ten minutes. You can wear one piece of clothing for a lifetime.

"Next, I'm going to hand in the commission. What about you guys?"

The Prince of Wales combed his hair and looked at Black Dragon and the others.

"I'm going to find Akashi."

Black Dragon answered.

"We're going to visit the commander."

Suzuya said.

"Okay, see you next time."

The Prince of Wales nodded.

After a while, the people split into three groups and left the bathhouse.

"Wow, this is quite a sight... Long hair is such a hassle, should I get it trimmed?"

Black Flying Dragon walked down the street in the early morning, touching his hair.

After taking a shower, she tied her hair into a single ponytail, and it felt a bit strange as she walked, swinging it back and forth.

While struggling with his inner thoughts, Black Dragon arrived at the armory and saw a green-haired cat lingering at the entrance in the distance.

"Good morning."

Black Dragon stepped forward and greeted them.

"Good morning, Black Dragon!"

Akashi saw the Black Flying Dragon and approached it with a smile.

"Thank you for the tent, this is the haul for this trip."

Black Dragon took out a Rubik's Cube that was slightly glowing.

"Great job, meow!"

Akashi couldn't help but widen her cat-like eyes when she saw the Rubik's Cube's light.

The cube that collects energy is different from the cubes that commanders use to build ship girls. This cube has twenty times the storage capacity of a regular cube. The energy released after a mass-produced Siren sinks is equivalent to 0.5 units, and the energy debris is likely 0.1 units.

The fact that the Rubik's Cube is glowing means that its storage capacity is close to half, which is 10 units of energy storage.

Black Dragon and her team were on patrol missions. In her opinion, getting one or two units would be a good deal. However, Black Dragon brought back nearly ten units.

"This contains the energy of more than ten Sirens; it should be quite valuable."

Black Dragon didn't rush to give the Rubik's Cube to Akashi.

The Princess of Wales said she could try to negotiate with Akashi, and she was preparing to do so.

"Ahem, just so you know, meow, I don't have anything valuable here~"

Akashi saw through Black Flying Dragon's thoughts and immediately composed herself.

"I don't need anything valuable. Here, take this and you design some ship equipment for me, how about that?"

Black Flying Dragon said directly.

"...What kind of ship equipment, Meow?"

Akashi blinked. As an aircraft carrier, the Black Dragon can't just use airplanes, can it?

"I'd like radar and sonar, and some other small equipment, is that alright?"

Black Flying Dragon asked.

"Sure, but there's not enough energy here to power all this stuff~"

At this point, Akashi scratched his hand inside his sleeve.

“I know this Rubik’s Cube is a deposit. You let me resupply once, and then give me a collection Rubik’s Cube so I can collect more energy for you.”

Black Dragon nodded.

She asked the Prince of Wales, and he said that most of the energy collected during the quests was handed in together with the quest, and there was an extra reward. The cost of resupplying once was not too expensive, so it was difficult for Akashi to obtain a high-storage collection cube without leaving the port.

"It's a deal, meow!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Akashi grabbed the Rubik's Cube from Black Dragon's hand and stuffed it into her sleeve, as if it would be snatched away if she hesitated.

"In that case, I'll go resupply first, and then I'll tell you what little things I need when I get back."

Black Dragon revealed a slight smile.

"Hurry up, hurry up, meow."

Akashi waved his hand, then took out the Rubik's Cube, wiped it with his clothes, and looked at it closely, his joy barely concealed.

Black Flying Dragon didn't care. She had never been particularly interested in money; enough was enough for her.

More than being rich, she hoped to improve her investigative skills so that she could go out to sea alone to practice on the Sirens.

……

"Can this be made?"

Black Flying Dragon handed the finished drawing to Akashi, who was standing next to him.

"It should be possible to meow."

Akashi looked at the blueprints. It was a set of armor, similar in nature to ship equipment, except that the weapons were compressed to make them more portable.

"Then please take care of the radar and sonar as well."

Black Dragon believed in Akashi's abilities; although he was somewhat cunning in business, the things he made were all quite useful.

This is also what allows Akashi to act as a shrewd businessman.

"Leave it to me, meow. You probably don't have a communicator on you, so here, meow."

Akashi waved his hand, then thought for a moment and pulled out a walkie-talkie from a table on the side.

"Thank you."

Black Dragon didn't stand on ceremony and took the communicator.

"If you want to thank me, help me collect more energy, meow!"
