Crossing the azure as a black dragon

"Uh, no, I just came out for a walk. I remember there's a nice shop up ahead, let's go sit for a while."

The Prince of Wales glanced at her and changed the subject.

"kindness."

Black Dragon didn't notice the Prince of Wales's strange behavior; he was only thinking about how to keep Kaohsiung and the others there.

"I heard there's a large-scale mission in a few days to reclaim the sea area, but it shouldn't be the area that Xiaoyue and her team are responsible for at the port."

As they walked, Black Dragon had a sudden inspiration and asked a question.

"Hmm? You're very well-informed. It's there. The commander of Suzuya and her team comes from a branch of the mainland military. As soon as that person regained consciousness, they contacted their relatives and friends and prepared to fight back."

The Prince of Wales softened her tone. She had seen many commanders who had fled back after defeats, including relatives and friends of high-ranking officials, but this was the first commander who had immediately prepared for a counterattack after such a crushing defeat.

Having experienced such a crushing defeat herself, she naturally knew how desperate it was for the port area to be destroyed by artillery fire.

She and several surviving ship girls brought the commander back, but her commander couldn't withstand the blow and fled the ocean.

"..."

Black Dragon noticed the change in the Prince of Wales's mood, opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.

"Of course, I am very happy to have such a commander. Come on, let's go have some tea."

The Prince of Wales realized his lapse in composure and quickly regained his composure, leading the black dragon to a small shop.

"Welcome! What would Your Highness and this young lady like to drink?"

Upon entering, Black Dragon saw a head maid, Newcastle, with long brown hair, wiping the table.

"Give me a cup of black tea, Black Dragon. What would you like to drink?"

The Prince of Wales responded and looked at the black dragon.

"Give me a cup of... coffee."

Black Dragon originally wanted to order a Coke, but felt it would be a waste to drink Coke in the Royal Maid's shop, so he chose coffee instead.

"Okay~ Please take a seat and wait a moment."

Newcastle smiled and led the two to the table.

"Now that you've heard about this request, you'll surely participate, right?"

After being seated, the Prince of Wales brought up the topic from earlier.

"Well, since there's no limit on the number of people, I'd like to invite Kaohsiung and the others to come along too."

Black Dragon nodded.

"Isn't this good? I probably won't be able to go on this mission."

The Prince of Wales smiled slightly.

Are there any other more complicated requests?

Black Dragon was somewhat surprised; she had assumed the Prince of Wales would definitely attend.

"It's not too much trouble, it's just that my Miss Hood needs to go out to meet with visitors from other countries recently, and I need to go with her."

The Prince of Wales drew a circle on the table with his finger.

"That must have been really tough."

Black Flying Dragon smiled.

The Prince of Wales and Hood had a relatively good relationship.

"Let's not talk about that. Black Dragon, you haven't been in the port for long, so you probably haven't had a good look around the city. If you're free tomorrow, I'll take you around."

The Prince of Wales changed the subject.

"No, I don't have any, but I'm not sure if I'll be free tomorrow. I'll contact you again if I am."

A flicker of wariness crossed Black Dragon's mind, but he remained outwardly calm.

"Sure, do you have a communicator? Let's exchange contact information."

The Prince of Wales, unaware of Black Dragon's intentions, remained very enthusiastic.

"Yes, how do we exchange them?"

Black Flying Dragon took out the phone that Akashi had given her. She hadn't used it much; she had finally managed to break free from her phone addiction after coming to this world, and she didn't want to fall back into it.

“Each communicator has a unique contact code; you see, it's in here.”

The Prince of Wales took out her communicator, switched it to mobile phone mode, and accessed the settings menu.

"Hmm, does this communicator have any other uses besides making calls?"

Black Dragon exchanged contact information with the Prince of Wales and asked a question.

"Yes, this is like a locator. If you make contact with someone, your phone will show that person's location and direction, making it easier to meet up at sea."

The Prince of Wales explained how to use it.

"That sounds great."

Black Dragon was pleasantly surprised. Her biggest fear was getting lost. If she got lost, she could just call someone in the port area and follow the directions to get back.

"Of course, the most important thing is that this is actually a damage control device. When the damage is severe, crushing this communicator can perform emergency repairs on your ship equipment and body."

The Prince of Wales got to the point.

"Oh, this."

Black Flying Dragon looked at the phone in his hand, surprised that it was so powerful.

"Aren't you surprised? I was surprised too when I first found out, but unfortunately this thing requires Rubik's Cube energy to manufacture."

The Prince of Wales shook his head.

Their biggest problem right now is the lack of energy. The research at the higher levels requires a lot of Rubik's Cube energy, and they can only use the little energy they have left to manufacture this device.

"It's truly a pity."

Black Dragon nodded.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, please enjoy your meal."

Soon after, Newcastle served a cup of black tea and a cup of coffee, both still steaming hot.

"Thank you."

Black Dragon accepted the coffee, thanked him, and then took a small sip.

"How about it? Newcastle's craftsmanship is top-notch throughout the entire port area."

The Prince of Wales shook his teacup.

"great."

Black Dragon's experience with coffee is limited to bottled coffee sold in stores, but the cup in his hand does taste really good.

"Although I won't be participating in this counter-offensive mission, I have a few friends who will be. I'll introduce them to you then."

The Prince of Wales took a sip of tea.

"Oh? Please be sure to introduce me to it."

Black Dragon is very modest. As an aircraft carrier, she relies heavily on positioning in large-scale battles, so having more teammates is naturally a good thing.

The Prince of Wales smiled.

The two chatted and quickly finished their tea. After leaving the shop, Black Dragon returned to the dock to continue practicing his swordsmanship, while the Prince of Wales avoided Black Dragon's gaze and found a secluded place to wait.

Evening arrived quickly, and just as Black Dragon was preparing to go back to rest, she saw a fleet of ships sailing from afar, accompanied by many ship girls.

"Finally back."

Hei Feilong breathed a sigh of relief; she was worried that Gao Xiong and the others might encounter some trouble at sea.

This fleet was much larger than the merchant ships that Black Dragon had escorted before, with more than ten ships and as many as ten escorting ship girls.

As they approached, Black Dragon discovered that five of the ten were Sakura Empire ships and the other five were Ironblood ships.

Among the Black Dragons, the most familiar ones are the leader, Kaohsiung, and the iron-blooded Prince Eugen.

Chapter Nineteen Nagging

The four people following Kaohsiung were Chokai and Ashigara, whom Black Flying Dragon had met, as well as Hiyō and Amagi.

To be honest, the moment Hei Feilong saw Tiancheng standing at the very back, he couldn't help but purse his lips.

Before she came to this world, in that game, her favorite character was this sickly, mature woman from Sakura Empire.

However, she didn't understand why, even with this person in the port area, it still couldn't escape being destroyed by the Sirens.

"So you're the Black Flying Dragon that Kaohsiung was talking about? You look like a child."

The first person to speak to Black Flying Dragon was not Kaohsiung and his group, but Prince Eugen, who had arrived at the dock earlier.

As he spoke, he sized up the black dragon.

"It's me. I mentioned you when I spoke with Wales today. You're indeed very difficult to deal with."

Black Flying Dragon shifted his gaze and responded.

"Huh? What else did that guy say?"

Prince Eugen stowed his ship's equipment and stepped onto the dock, his tone quite amused.

"This is a secret between the two of us, so naturally it cannot be revealed casually."

Black Dragon revealed a slight smile.

“Interesting. Z2 mentioned you to me. He’s strong in combat but lacks common sense… but that doesn’t seem to be the case.”

Prince Eugen licked his lips, and something new appeared in his gaze as he looked at the black dragon.
