Crossing the azure as a black dragon

Black Dragon stroked his chin, looking somewhat confused.

Chapter 42 Sweet at First, Bitter at Last

As expected, the transport ship did not encounter any Siren attacks and successfully arrived at a city some distance from the port area.

It is not a city on the sea, but a very prosperous coastal city located by the sea with its own port.

"This is the most prosperous seaside city in Donghuang. Purchases during festivals and holidays are all carried out here."

Belfast explained to the black dragon beside him.

"kindness."

Black Flying Dragon withdrew her gaze. This was the coastal area with the largest population flow she had seen since coming to this world. There were dozens of staff members in the port alone, and the construction level of the dock even exceeded that of the free port area. A large number of merchant ships and transport ships were docked there.

There were many pedestrians on the streets outside the port, and ship girls would occasionally appear in Black Flying Dragon's line of sight.

Black Dragon and his group quickly entered the harbor, and the transport ship docked in the appropriate position.

"Over here~"

As soon as they landed, Black Dragon saw someone waving at them from afar; it was three ship girls from the Eastern Empire.

"We'll be busy with acquisitions next, so you're all free to do as you please. We'll be back around 3 p.m.

"

Yi Xian, who was standing nearby, spoke to the four people, including Hei Feilong.

"Don't worry about us, please."

Belfast smiled and saw Yixian off.

"So, how many people are involved in the escort?"

After Yixian and Anshan left, Hei Feilong asked a question that seemed rather strange.

"There are four of us. The members of Donghuang are tasked with acquisitions."

Belfast answered softly.

"I see. We still have some time before the afternoon meeting, so let's go for a walk."

Black Flying Dragon looked at Yuudachi.

"Okay."

Yuudachi had no objection.

See you later.

Black Dragon waved to Belfast and the other two, then left the harbor with Yuudachi along the main road.

As soon as they left the harbor, Black Flying Dragon saw many people waiting outside who wanted to chat with him, so he could only put on a "keep away" expression and leave with Yuudachi.

"There are so many people here."

After arriving on the street, Yuudachi looked left and right like a curious child.

"You've never been here either."

Black Dragon glanced around and saw that the area near the harbor was mostly filled with vendors and shops selling various goods, with nothing particularly special about it.

"No."

Yuudachi shook his head.

"Then let's go a little further away and take a look."

Black Flying Dragon thought for a moment and said, "It's a rare opportunity to come all this way, it would be a shame not to leave."

The two strolled around, and the gluttonous Yuudachi quickly bought a lot of snacks, giving Kurohiryu the feeling of taking his younger sister shopping.

"Eat fewer snacks, you'll have to eat lunch later."

Black Flying Dragon watched Yuudachi eat and eat, and felt like he was about to get full himself.

"It's okay, it'll digest after a walk."

Yuudachi was completely unconcerned.

"Hmm...aren't there any fun places to go?"

Black Dragon looked around at the streets on both sides. Because they were afraid of getting lost, they had been moving along the seaside avenue. But even after walking for so long, there were still all kinds of shops and the flow of people had not decreased at all.

Before, when she went on missions, others would lead the way, but now that she's allowed to go shopping on her own, she doesn't know where to go.

"There are signs there."

Upon hearing the Black Flying Dragon's voice, Yuudachi pointed to a road sign in the distance.

"Oh huh?"

Black Flying Dragon's eyes lit up, and he walked to the road sign in a few steps.

This road sign marks various areas along the coast. For example, if you walk from where Black Dragon is now toward the center of the city, you will soon come across a recreational park, and if you continue straight, you will see a naval academy.

"Naval Academy? Yuudachi, where do you want to go?"

Black Dragon recalled that he did see a ship girl running around when he came over, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

"Let's go to school! I've heard people say the food there is really delicious!"

Yuudachi made a decision in an instant.

"Goodness."

Black Dragon was at a loss for words.

The two continued walking and soon came to a building area enclosed by a wall, with only two gates facing the street for entry and exit.

"Tsk."

Looking at the boys and girls coming and going from the school gate with the ship girls, Black Dragon inexplicably felt miserable.

"kindness?"

Yuudachi was somewhat puzzled.

"Let's go in and take a look."

Black Flying Dragon patted Yuudachi's head to calm himself down.

"Uh-huh."

Yuudachi's ears twitched.

There were two security guards at the school gate. Although they were a little confused when they saw Hei Feilong and his companion, they did not stop them and let them enter the school.

Entering through the main gate, there is a main road lined with trees on both sides. To the left, through the trees, you can see a large playground with many sports fields, where many ship girls are active.

To the right is a small grove of trees, separated from the main road by a ditch. In the center of the grove is a flowerbed, and along the path leading to the flowerbed are several small pavilions for resting.

"Is this really a naval academy?"

Black Flying Dragon looked around and realized that this was very different from the harsh environment he had imagined.

"Yes, I once heard the commander say that the days in school were the happiest time, and it seems he wasn't lying."

Yuudachi stood to the side with her arms crossed, looking as if the commander hadn't lied to her after all.

"..."

Black Dragon blinked. Is this the legendary "sweet before bitter"?

The two walked along the road, which led all the way to the seaside. Branches from the main road connected to many buildings. Among them, Black Flying Dragon saw a library, a teaching building, and student dormitories, as well as some buildings whose purpose was unclear, but which had many people talking inside.

"The cafeteria is over there!"

Yuudachi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed to a building on his right that looked like a hotel.

"Then let's go in and take a look."

Black Flying Dragon smiled; Yuudachi really did like to eat.

"hey-hey."

Yuudachi chuckled sheepishly and skipped towards the cafeteria.

Black Flying Dragon followed behind Yuudachi, his gaze sweeping over a fountain plaza not far away, where many people were watching her.

The students in this school are not very old, mostly between 15 and 18 years old. I saw more boys than girls along the way.

"She has such fierce eyes, this ship girl must be really strong. Why don't you give her a try?"

Why aren't you going?

"My Lafite is also very good, so I won't go."

"My home..."

Several future commanders were whispering among themselves, discussing whether to approach the Black Dragon, but ultimately decided against it.

"What's going on? Am I into younger men?"

Black Flying Dragon didn't feel any rejection when he heard these words.

She didn't want to deal with the commander, but she was quite at ease with these little guys.

"Sister Long?"

Yuudachi had already run outside the cafeteria. She turned around, looked at the black dragon who was deep in thought, and called out.

"coming."

Putting aside their thoughts, Black Flying Dragon and Yuudachi walked into the cafeteria.

Chapter Forty-Three Temporary Mission

The hotel-style cafeteria did not disappoint Yuudachi; the food was indeed delicious.

Black Flying Dragon felt inferior and decided to take some time to study cooking skills.
