Crossing the azure as a black dragon

"I hope I haven't drifted into the territory of the Sakura Empire."

Black Dragon peered at the city from afar through his reconnaissance plane, his mind...

Somewhat surprised.

After mentally estimating the distance from the Free Port to Sakura Empire, Black Dragon realized that even if the Prince of Wales came to pick her up, it would take him a whole day to get there, so she decided to go for a stroll over there.

The overall area of ​​this world seems to be much larger than the world she transmigrated to before. The distance between the Eastern Empire and the Sakura Empire has been greatly increased. A famous battle once took place in this sea area between the two countries. In the end, the Eastern Empire defeated the Sakura Empire and seized most of the territory in this sea area.

There are many ship girls from the Eastern Empire in this world, but the chance of them being built is very low.

The Yi Xian and the others I met earlier did not join after the defeat. They were among the original ship girls of Donghuang. However, their commander had grown old, and they eventually joined the Free Port to help run this place where ship girls gathered.

Having made up his mind, Black Dragon left behind a reconnaissance plane and headed towards the city.

She can control carrier-based aircraft within 200 nautical miles of herself; beyond that range, she can no longer detect them. The one that was left in Donghuang territory before is probably gone now.

Soon, the Black Flying Dragon approached the city. This city was a bit strange. Although it was surrounded and guarded by a large number of ship girls, it did not have many defensive facilities. There was only a port area in the city, where ship girls came and went.

Black Dragon was a Sakura Empire ship, and after encountering other ship girls on the way, they didn't react much, allowing her to reach the edge of the city directly.

Although it's on the edge, it's been designed like a park. Walking from the beach, there's a large square separated by a row of trees, where many children are playing and vendors are selling their goods. It's very lively.

"I never expected to arrive in Sakura Empire in this way."

Black Flying Dragon stowed its ship equipment and strolled along the road, feeling somewhat surreal.

Soon, the black dragon walked out of the square and came to a main street in the city. The city's technological style was not very strong. There were low-rise houses near the street, and the streetlights were also of a retro style. There were not many shops on the roadside, but more accommodations.

Black Dragon was extremely interested in this place and wandered around. The identity card she obtained in the Free Port District could also be used here. She indulged in some delicacies and was even introduced to a hot spring village in the city.

After making some inquiries, I learned that this place is a tourist attraction built by Sakura Empire. It is located 50 nautical miles away from Sakura Empire's mainland and is specially designed for people who have nowhere else to go. To ensure safety, a port area has also been built, with ship girls providing 24-hour security and protection.

"Wow, these people are really something."

Following the directions, Black Flying Dragon arrived at a hot spring village called 'Izumi'. After paying, he was led to a private room.

It seems that ship girls often visit this place. Black Dragon's arrival did not cause much of a stir. After resting for a while, Black Dragon carried a bathrobe to an open-air hot spring pool. Besides her, there were other ship girls in the pool.

"Ah, this feels so good~"

As soon as he entered, Black Dragon saw a silver-haired girl with a cowlick on her head leaning against the edge of the hot spring pool, making strange noises.

"Ugh~ I don't want to get up."

Next to her was a ship girl with short blue hair and cat ears, who was also looking up at the sky and sighing.

"Okay, quiet down, don't cause trouble for others."

Beside the two was a pretty young lady with black hair. When she saw Black Flying Dragon enter, she gently stopped the two from their indecent behavior.

"Yes~ Hmm? Let me think, aren't you the Black Flying Dragon that Sister Amagi mentioned?"

Xiang shook his head, glanced at the black dragon, and suddenly became interested.

"Tiancheng mentioned me?"

Hei Feilong was somewhat surprised when she heard this. She thought these three were ship girls from a nearby port, but she didn't expect them to be related to Tiancheng.

"The real deal!? Hello, I'm Fubuki!"

Fubuki, who was standing next to her, immediately opened her eyes wide and looked at Black Flying Dragon.

"...Hello."

The glint in their eyes left Black Flying Dragon somewhat bewildered, so he obediently changed his clothes and went into the hot spring.

"hiss!"

The water temperature here was just right. The black dragon, who had just experienced pain, felt the beauty of life as soon as it came in and couldn't help but take a breath.

"Isn't it amazing? This is the best hot spring village in the city. We come here to relax for a few days when we're tired from traveling!"

Seeing that Black Dragon reacted the same way as them, Xiang nodded in satisfaction.

"It's really great."

Black Flying Dragon comfortably closed its eyes.

I've heard Tiancheng mention you.

"It seems like you're in Donghuang? How did you suddenly end up here?"

Akano also looked at the Black Flying Dragon with some curiosity.

When they met Amagi before, Amagi specifically told them that if they ever went to live in Donghuang Port for an extended period, they could visit a ship girl named Black Flying Dragon.

"Oh, I was accidentally surrounded by Sirens yesterday. After a fierce battle, I lost consciousness and drifted here."

Black Dragon looked a little embarrassed, but still told the truth.

"That's amazing!"

Fubuki quickly showed her support, but in reality, she hadn't even understood what Black Dragon had said.

"..."

Black Dragon gave a bewildered look.

"Besieged by the Sirens? Didn't we just defeat the Sirens a few days ago?"

Agano found it strange.

"Sister Amagi already said those were cannon fodder. It must have been a very strong Siren who ambushed you, right? Sirens love doing these kinds of things!"

Xiang waved his hand dismissively, looking rather old-fashioned.

"It was indeed very strong. I almost managed to break through, but it self-destructed."

Black Dragon nodded. If that squid hadn't self-destructed, there would have been no way to keep her alive.

"By the way, is Amagi around here?"

After Black Dragon finished speaking, he asked a question in return.

"No, Sister Amagi left after meeting with us."

He shook his head.

"Okay, if you run into her again, please pass on the message that I might be being targeted by the Sirens, and hope she can help me think of a solution."

Black Dragon felt a little regretful; she was somewhat slow-witted and couldn't think of a way to take revenge on the Sirens, so she could only rely on clever people.

"Yes, I will definitely pass it on."

Agano nodded.

"Oh right, Kaohsiung mentioned that you seem to be able to slice sirens to pieces in a flash. Could you demonstrate that for us?"

Xiang watched the black dragon with great interest from the side.

"Oh, this."

Black Flying Dragon's expression froze as he looked at the three people in front of him, all of whom had expectant looks on their faces.

"Let me think about it."

Black Flying Dragon hesitated for a moment, then got up and moved to a different position. He plucked a blade of grass from the edge of the hot spring and waved it towards the sky.

Swish!

A small wisp of sword energy surged from the grass roots, flew into the sky, and then quickly disappeared.

"Amazing!"

Fubuki quickly showed her support and even started clapping.

"So strong!"

Xiang looked at the black dragon, her eyes sparkling with starlight.

"How about one more time?"

After the sword energy disappeared, Fubuki and Hibiki pestered Black Flying Dragon, wanting her to perform again.

"Stop fooling around. Black Dragon just had a big battle with the Sirens yesterday. Let him get some rest."

Agano got up, grabbed Hibiki and Fubuki by the head, and dragged them aside.

Are the three of you a team?

After a moment of silence, Black Dragon asked again.

"There are three more people. Ryuhou, Kumano, and Mogami went out shopping. They'll be back soon."

Fubuki answered obediently.

"I see."

Black Dragon nodded.

After soaking in the hot springs for a while, Black Flying Dragon said goodbye to the three of them and returned to his room for lunch. After setting an alarm, he took a nap and was fully recovered around 3 p.m.!

"This is what life is all about."

After waking up, Black Flying Dragon sat on the corridor behind the room, looking at the scenery in the courtyard. Next to him was a plate with some fruit, which was a complimentary gift for check-in.

After only half a day here, Black Dragon was already reluctant to leave.

After sitting quietly for a while, a commotion came from not far away. Black Flying Dragon looked over and saw Fubuki and the other two leading three other ship girls over.

Ryuhou and Mogami, two of the three, had somewhat cold expressions, while Kumano was quite enthusiastic. The three of them walking together had a strange sense of compatibility.

"Nice to meet you, I am Light Aviation Dragon and Phoenix."

The dragon and phoenix walked up to the black dragon and greeted it very formally.
