Crossing the azure as a black dragon

It was completely dark outside, and the stars in the sky were twinkling, which was very pleasing to the eye.

"Would you like something to eat?"

Yuudachi handed a steamed bun to Black Flying Dragon.

"Thank you, is it time?"

Black Dragon took the steamed bun, took a bite, and walked over to look down at the ship. Cleveland and Baltimore were preparing to board.

"It's dangerous at night, so don't launch the plane. It could easily expose our position."

Yuudachi said while eating a steamed bun.

"I see."

Black Dragon nodded and stepped onto the deck.

"I'll leave the rest to you."

Cleveland greeted them after boarding the ship.

"kindness."

After disembarking, Black Dragon began patrolling using radar. Notably, she discovered that many crew members were also on guard duty through the night.

Time passed quickly, the sun rose in the east, and the next day arrived.

Although he doesn't consider himself suited to staying up late, Black Dragon didn't feel tired at all after running at sea for five hours.

Around nine o'clock, the merchant ship arrived at a city, a floating city converted from an island. The merchant ship will conduct transactions here for a period of time.

"Now it's free time. Black Dragon, would you like to go back and rest for a bit?"

Black Dragon and his three companions were queuing at the city's landing dock when Cleveland asked Black Dragon a question.

"No need, I want to go to the bookstore and find some books to read."

Black Flying Dragon shook her head; she wasn't sleepy at all.

Having finally encountered a city, she was determined to catch up on the history of this world.

"Okay then, there's a bubble tea shop up ahead, let's meet there."

Cleveland didn't say much.

"it is good."

Black Dragon nodded.

After obtaining the temporary visit permits, the four parted ways.

Then, Black Dragon discovered that she was lost again.

Chapter 5: The World Is Hard.jpg

"The air here is quite nice."

Although he was lost, the Black Dragon was not panicked at all.

The reason is that there were many patrol teams along the way, and ship girls could be seen on almost every street.

The street she is currently on is a semi-commercial street, no different from an ordinary city street, with a fairly high flow of people.

"Has some new energy source been discovered here?"

Because she had no money, she could only look at the goods in the shops from afar. What she found most outrageous was that some shops actually sold weapons for actual combat, such as knives and guns. They were also quite beautiful, mostly sky blue.

"I'm so poor."

Walking down the commercial street, Hei Feilong realized the importance of money; now she didn't even have the money to buy anything delicious.

With a sigh, she left the commercial street, where it seemed there were no honest people running bookstores.

This floating city is very large, not only on the ground but also in the sky, with sky bridges and many high-rise buildings. However, this unfamiliar city is of no help to the Black Flying Dragon at present.

"kindness?"

As she was walking, Black Dragon suddenly noticed a gaze falling on her. She turned her head and saw a black-haired girl in a white princess dress sitting on a bench by the roadside, looking at her.

Their eyes met in mid-air, but before Black Flying Dragon could react, a pedestrian blocked her view, and when she looked again, the person was gone.

"strangeness."

Black Flying Dragon frowned and muttered something.

"Sister Long, are you here to buy food too?"

A familiar voice suddenly rang out from not far away. Yuudachi was walking over carrying several bags, all of which were full of snacks.

"I'm looking for a bookstore. Is there one on this street?"

Black Flying Dragon put aside his sense of unease and looked at Yuudachi.

"No, there was a bookstore on that street a few months ago, but it seems to have closed down because it was losing money."

Yuudachi shook his head.

"What a pity, are you planning to go back?"

Black Flying Dragon clicked its tongue in disbelief.

"Uh-huh."

Xi Li nodded.

"Then let's go back together."

Since there were no bookstores, Black Dragon lost interest in shopping.

"Great! The snacks here are really delicious, Sister Long, do you want some?"

Yuudachi skipped over to the Black Dragon and, after thinking for a moment, handed it a bag containing roasted chicken legs.

"I'm not hungry, you eat."

Black Flying Dragon smiled.

Yuudachi nodded repeatedly and pulled the bag back in.

Black Flying Dragon followed Yuudachi back, passing through several streets they hadn't been on before, and saw many new things.

For example, there is a street where most of the shops are related to ship girls, such as ship equipment maintenance, parts replacement, and other things. There are also shops that sell ship equipment, and some even sell external equipment that can add auxiliary devices to the existing ship equipment.

This world has a very high level of research on ship girls.

Soon, the two arrived at the bubble tea shop that Cleveland had mentioned. It was a small shop with exquisite decorations, not far from the port. Cleveland was sitting at a table and chair outside the bubble tea shop.

"here."

Cleveland saw Black Dragon and his companion and waved.

"This city is so bustling."

Black Dragon pulled out a chair and sat down opposite Cleveland.

"This place provides logistical support for several sea areas nearby... Would you like something to drink?"

Cleveland smiled, handed the menu to the two of them, and then pressed the call button to summon a waiter.

"Give me a cup of coffee."

Black Dragon took the menu, glanced at it, and chose a relatively ordinary one.

"I want milk!"

Yuudachi also stated her choice.

"A cup of coffee, a cup of milk, and a bottle of Oxygen Coke, please."

Cleveland said to the approaching waiter.

"Okay, please wait a moment."

The waiter noted down the request and turned to leave.

Have you found a bookstore?

Cleveland inquired about the Black Dragon.

"I couldn't find one. Maybe a bookstore isn't suitable for this kind of place."

Black Dragon shrugged.

"Actually, I've never seen a bookstore before, so I can't offer any advice."

Cleveland smiled.

"Okay, this place doesn't seem to be far from land, so why is it so heavily guarded?"

Black Dragon changed the subject.

"Well... the Sirens have been invading quite fiercely in recent years. You know how vast the sea is, and the front lines of defense can't completely shut out the Sirens."

Cleveland said, taking a sip of her milk tea.

"I see."

Black Dragon understood.

The shop quickly brought out the drinks. Yuudachi's mouth was already full of oil, so Black Flying Dragon had to help wipe his mouth with a tissue.

"Hey~ Everyone's here! Was this prepared for me? Thanks~"

Baltimore arrived at the opportune moment, picked up the carbonated Coke that Cleveland had ordered in advance, and took a sip.

"This taste is just what I like."

Baltimore, who had burped, also sat down.

"How about it?"

Cleveland looked toward Baltimore.

"Nothing suspicious was found, so we should be able to go back soon."
