Crossing the azure as a black dragon

Black Dragon nodded to Fearless and left the living room with Hermione.

Kewei yawned and continued flipping through the music collection, while Yuudachi and Shigure whispered to each other as they went upstairs to the second floor.

……

With Hermione's help, the ingredients and tools were quickly prepared. As for the picnic location, after discussing it privately with Hermione, Black Dragon chose the back of the Sakura Harbor, which faces the East.

Due to distrust of the Sakura Empire mainland, Sakura Port initially placed most of its defensive measures and building systems on the side facing the Sakura Empire mainland. This resulted in a portion of the back side remaining undeveloped and vacant, providing ample space for development without the worry of being disturbed.

With everything prepared, Black Dragon went straight home and opened a portal. The family of five arrived silently at a large island located not far from the border between Sakura Empire and Eastern Empire.

Stepping out of the space tunnel, you'll be greeted by the azure sea sparkling under the sun.

"it's beautiful."

Yuudachi stood on tiptoe, gazing at the picturesque and tranquil ocean.

"This place is alright, I guess."

Black Flying Dragon looked at Fearsome and asked, somewhat boastfully.

She accompanied Tosa to the area yesterday and found that although it was summer, it was still very cool, making it perfect for picnics and fun. This gave her the idea to bring the group of friends out for a stroll.

"so so."

Fearless glanced at her, his tone completely unmoved, while Hermione took out a parasol from her storage cube, opened it, and created a shade that covered Fearless.

Black Flying Dragon smiled, not paying much attention, and started fiddling with the picnic kit he had just bought.

They were on a gentle slope on the first to second floor of a lawn. The area was connected to a main road but there weren't many buildings nearby, so ship girls rarely came here. Right now, they could only see a few small black figures patrolling the sea from afar.

"Sister Long, Sister Long, Shiyu said she wants to go over there to take a look."

Yuudachi was counting seabirds in the sky when Shigure looked around and ran over to say a few words. Then Yuudachi ran to Kurohira's side, tugged at her clothes, and said something.

"Sure, but let's take a group photo first."

Black Flying Dragon grunted in agreement, turned around, took out a camera from his spatial storage, and gestured to the crowd.

"Uh-huh."

Yuudachi nodded obediently, then pulled Shigure and ran to the side of the two men.

Black Dragon smiled, set up the camera, found a suitable spot, and used energy to fix it in the air. He then took the opportunity to run to Fearless's side, and with a 'click', the camera recorded this ordinary day.

After taking the photos, Yuudachi and Shigure ran off happily.

"You seem a little strangely enthusiastic today."

Fearless leaned back in the chair Hermione had placed in, shaking the empty cup in his hand as he spoke to the black dragon.

"is it?"

Black Flying Dragon flipped through the photos he had taken with his camera and casually replied.

"It's not too strange, but there's a difference compared to before. Is it because of the problems in Australia?"

After thinking about it, Kewei realized that it was normal for Heifeilong, as the head of the family, to take them out to play. It was just a bit sudden, like he had suddenly had a change of heart.

"I guess so. The problems in Australia are more complicated than those in Sakura Empire. It's probably not something that can be resolved in a day or two."

Black Flying Dragon put down his camera, stretched, and squatted down on the lawn, saying...

"That's true, but it's better than letting the Sirens run rampant. Taking back the invaded territory will reduce the pressure in the future."

Kewei sighed.

"That's hard to say. The Sirens are hiding a lot of things we don't know about. It's hard to tell who will win until the very end."

Black Dragon braced himself on the ground, enjoying the cool sea breeze.

"It's rare to hear you say something like that."

Kewei smiled, put down his glass, got up, walked over to Black Flying Dragon, and sat down next to him.

"I'm certainly not afraid of the Sirens, but it's always better to be cautious."

Black Dragon put his arm around Fear's shoulder and whispered.

"I'm relieved that you think that way. No matter how powerful you are, it will be difficult to completely eradicate the Sirens. Doing your best is enough."

Kewei smiled, leaned against the black dragon, and closed his eyes.

"Ah."

Black Flying Dragon responded and looked up at the beautiful sea.

Chapter 42 Rescue (1)

Leisure time always flies by. Black Flying Dragon felt like he had just finished planning his future with Fearless, and it was already noon.

More importantly, Yuudachi and Shigure brought back a lot of children, some of whom were friends Yuudachi had met last time, and others were admirers of the Black Flying Dragon, which immediately made the place lively.

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, Black Dragon actually really liked children, especially lively, cute, and sensible little ones.

"Really..."

Watching the black dragon mingling with the Sakura Empire elementary school students with a big smile on his face, Formidable sighed helplessly, resting his chin on his hand. Hermione smiled slightly beside him and went to the side to start preparing lunch.

……

Although

There were a few minor incidents, but they didn't affect Black Dragon's plans. After lunch, Black Dragon took the Formidables and the others to Nagato's mansion in Tokyo. While opening the teleportation tunnel from Sakura Empire to the Eastern Empire, they strolled around the bustling area where the commotion was not affected.

Although the actions of the former Sakura Empire's higher-ups were quite idiotic, most of the residents actually worked very hard to make a living, which added a few bright spots to the country of Sakura Empire.

After a leisurely stroll, it was already evening when they returned home. After instructing Kewei and the others to get some rest, Hei Feilong turned and went to the command room on the fourth floor of the branch port.

"came back?"

A calm voice rang out, and Black Flying Dragon turned around to see Tosa leaning against the wall by the window.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Did Tiancheng explain anything afterward?"

Black Flying Dragon took a breath, stepped forward, and asked with outstretched hands.

"No."

Tosa stood up and glanced at the night view of the port area outside the window, his gaze reflecting the sparse lights.

The ship girls who accepted the war mission have already headed to the base of the Donghuang aircraft carrier group. The port area is less popular than half. Amagi was joking when she said that there were not enough people to mobilize. If she hadn't limited the number of participants, Tosa would have seriously doubted that all the ship girls in this port area would have followed the Black Flying Dragon to the expedition.

"Are you worried about them?"

Black Flying Dragon walked around the desk to the other side and looked at the lights below.

"The ship girls gathered here are all your followers. You should be the one worrying about them, but you don't seem to have thought about that at all?"

Tosa glanced at Black Flying Dragon. This was the most casual manager she had ever seen. War mobilization was underway, and this guy had only shown up once in the morning. She wondered what these people were after.

"No, no, they will be traveling with me tomorrow. Since I'll be there, there's nothing to worry about."

Black Dragon stretched out his finger and waved it from side to side in the air, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"That's true. This morning you said the Sirens' base was in Antarctica. After you took back Australia, did you think about that?"

Tosa snorted softly, offering no rebuttal, and then moved on to another question.

"We'll see. We don't know the extent of the Sirens' ambush yet. Let's talk again once we've regrouped." Black Flying Dragon shook his head and turned to look at Tosa. "There's something else. It should be in the information Amagi collected. The Sirens in this world are more focused on the destructive use of energy. I believe you won't lose in a head-on confrontation. I'm just worried about them using petty theft. Here, take this."

As he spoke, Black Flying Dragon reached into his pocket and took out a silver-white hairpin, which was handed over. The end of the hairpin was shaped like a white flower, with colorful rhomboid crystals hanging from the flower.

"What do you mean?"

Tosa squinted at the hairpin in Black Flying Dragon's palm, making no move.

"So far, I've encountered two meta-level sirens. Both of them are very troublesome. I've tampered with them a bit, so at least I can guarantee that you won't suffer when you encounter those two sirens."

Black Dragon shook the hairpin, and the crystals collided, producing a pleasant sound.

"have a finger in the pie."

Tosa clicked his tongue, took the hairpin from Black Flying Dragon's hand, twirled it in front of his eyes, and threw it out the window, quickly disappearing into the darkness.

"The main reason is that I've been tricked by the Sirens too many times, and I don't want you to repeat the same mistake."

Black Flying Dragon didn't stop them, but just shrugged and explained with a hint of helplessness.

"is it?"

Tosa glanced at the bright spot that suddenly flew in from outside the window, raised his hand and caught it. The hairpin flew around outside and came back intact!

Black Dragon blinked, looking completely innocent, as if asking, "What are you talking about?"

Tosa, seeing that the man was pretending to be stupid, didn't bother to ask any more questions. He took the hairpin, stepped forward, lifted the black dragon's hair, and stuck the hairpin directly into the black dragon's hair.

"Is this for easy securing? Is there a problem?"

Black Flying Dragon reached out and took off the hairpin, calmly returning it to Tosa.

"Hmph, let's assume you're telling the truth. If there's nothing else, I'm leaving."

Taking the hairpin, Tosa stopped arguing and turned to walk towards the gate. Black Flying Dragon watched her leave without saying a word.

Pushing open the door, Tosa paused for a moment: "This port area is quite nice. I don't want to see it shrouded in sadness one day."

After saying this, Tosa disappeared at the end of the corridor.

"Isn't that obvious? This is my port."

Black Flying Dragon's lips twitched slightly as he turned his head to gaze at the bay, which was still brightly lit in the dead of night. There were teams going back and forth to the port area, as well as new ship girls still training, and even more people noisily wandering around the market.

This is the world that truly belongs to her.

……

The next morning, after enjoying the breakfast prepared by Hermione, Black Dragon bid farewell to Formidable and the others and arrived at the branch port.

"I will teleport you to this location next. Be careful."

A group of people gathered in Tiancheng's study. Hei Feilong pointed to the coastal area in northern Malaysia. This country was less affected by the Sirens, and the resistance forces seized it as their base immediately. However, it was also surrounded by several countries, so the situation was not good.

"As long as Shinano-senpai doesn't fall asleep beforehand, everything will be fine."

Bai Long grinned, showing no signs of being a stranger.
