Crossing the azure as a black dragon

Soon, the two arrived at the stage area. It was still early, and although there was a curtain covering the stage, they could still see people on it.

"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, thank you for your hard work in rehearsals."

Black Flying Dragon walked to the edge of the stage, reached out and lifted a corner of the curtain, and saw the people on the stage.

"Miss Long? Happy Mid-Autumn Festival."

There were three people on the stage: Aurora, Zhao He, and Ying Rui. Ying Rui was resting on the side. When he saw Black Flying Dragon appear, he smiled and greeted him.

"Will all of them be performing on stage today?"

Black Dragon looked at the other two; Aurora had changed into a red and white opera costume.

Shi Zheng was applying makeup with a small mirror.

Zhaohe changed into a white long-sleeved dance costume. She didn't dance; just standing there was beautiful enough.

"Yes, don't forget to come over tonight. If you miss this opportunity, you'll have to wait until Chinese New Year."

Zhao He looked at Black Flying Dragon and reminded him.

"I will definitely be there."

Black Flying Dragon smiled.

"Miss Black Dragon, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival."

Aurora put down the mirror and gave a blessing to the black dragon.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! I wish you a successful performance.

Black Flying Dragon returned the greeting and left the stage with Yuudachi.

"Where is that street?"

Black Flying Dragon asked Yuudachi.

"there."

Yuudachi pointed in a direction, and the two of them moved in that direction.

Before even getting close, Black Dragon had already spotted the constant flow of people coming and going. He stopped and observed for a while. It was a street between the residential area and the office area, bordering the river between the two areas.

"We're not ready yet. Let's go back and come back tonight."

Black Dragon disliked crowds, so it chose to back down.

"Okay~ By the way, Sister Ryu, Akashi and Yubari also live nearby."

Yuudachi nodded, then suddenly remembered something, pointed to a fork in the road next to him, and turned around to say something.

"Oh? So Akashi doesn't live in the armory after all."

The black dragon became interested.

"Of course not, Sister Jin Gang and the others are not far from here either."

Yuudachi pulled the black dragon away. Akashi and Yubari lived together, occupying a two-story house with a floor area of ​​100 square meters.

Kongo and his companions, on the other hand, lived in a more luxurious setting. Their rooms were in a standard cherry blossom-style courtyard, with a fence separating the courtyard, which occupied at least several hundred square meters. The location was also excellent, with the dock and office building just a straight line away, and it was not far from the festival street.

"Should we apply for a big house too?"

Black Dragon wanted a big yard.

"Oh? I think the house is fine as it is."

Yuudachi doesn't want to move.

"Then let's wait until there are more people before changing it."

Black Flying Dragon patted Yuudachi's head without saying anything more.

"Uh-huh."

Xi Li nodded.

The two drove around the port area to determine their route for the evening, and finally returned home to wait for nightfall.

Chapter Sixty-Seven: Craftsmen

"Sister Long, are these books really that good?"

Inside the living room, Yuudachi was curled up on the sofa, hugging a long, white cat plush toy, and tilting her head to look at the black dragon beside her.

"Hmm? Reading more books will always be useful someday."

Black Flying Dragon looked at the book in his hand and responded to Yuudachi.

There are three sofas in the living room, one long and two short, and a table in the middle. There are four or five books next to the table where Black Flying Dragon is sitting.

Black Dragon has been watching ever since he came back from shopping.

The book in her hand, titled "Forty-Eight Ways to Make Desserts After a Meal," was one she had recently acquired.

"It seems quite lively outside. Shall we go for a walk too?"

Yuudachi rolled over and looked up at the ceiling.

After returning from outside, they stayed at home and did not go out.

"It's not evening yet, let's wait a little longer."

Hei Feilong took out his phone and checked the time; it was only three in the afternoon.

"Yes~"

Yuudachi responded listlessly, got up from the sofa, ran to the warehouse next door, grabbed a plate of sunflower seeds, and started acting as a hamster.

"If you feel bored, you can go out and have some fun, but remember to come back early."

Black Flying Dragon put down the book in his hand and looked at Yuudachi.

"Uh-huh."

Yuudachi responded immediately and stood up from the sofa.

"Ding dong~"

While the two were chatting, the doorbell rang.

"Here it comes~"

Upon hearing the sound, Yuudachi ran over to open the door, and Kurohiryu also put down his book and got up.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival.

Yuudachi opened the door, and a girl dressed as a maid stood in the doorway, carrying two small bags in her hands.

"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, please come in."

Black Dragon made way and led Belfast into the hall.

"Have you two been home the whole time? Thank you."

The head maid took the tea poured by Black Flying Dragon and asked.

"I went out for a walk this morning, and I plan to go out again tonight."

"Black Flying Dragon said."

"I see. This is a gift from Miss Formidable. Please accept it."

Belfast nodded and placed the small bag in his right hand on the table, pushing it towards Black Dragon.

"Oh? You're too kind. Please thank her for me."

Black Dragon took the bag but didn't open it immediately.

"This is just a small token of my appreciation. I appreciate all the trouble you've gone through these past few days, Miss Kewei."

The head maid gave the remaining bags to Black Dragon as well.

"Not at all, I'm just interested in new things. I've made some snacks here, please take them back and try them."

Black Flying Dragon appeared humble on the surface, but secretly clenched his fist.

To prevent anyone from bringing gifts, Black Dragon made some snacks as a form of self-defense after returning home.

Black Flying Dragon winked at Yuudachi, who understood immediately and ran to the kitchen to retrieve a folded paper bag, the size of which was just the same as the two small bags that the head maid had brought over.

"Thank you for your trouble."

Belfast took

Yuudachi handed over the bag and addressed the two of them.

"I just made a little extra when preparing the snacks for moon viewing."

Black Flying Dragon said with a smile.

"Well, there's one more thing. His Highness Hood hopes that you, Black Dragon, can participate in the expedition after the holiday."

Belfast nodded, looking at the black dragon.

"An expedition? I've heard others mention it, but what exactly does an expedition do?"

Black Dragon hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse immediately.

Seeing that the two were about to discuss serious matters, Yuudachi quietly slipped out of the house.

"It is said that the expedition has existed forty years ago."

Belfast began to quietly explain the origins of the expedition to the Black Dragon.

The initial expeditions were ordered by the high command to have the commanders and ship girls launch an attack on the deep sea in an attempt to break the Sirens' monopoly on the deep sea. However, almost every expedition ended in failure. On several occasions, the expedition teams stormed into the Sirens' sea fortresses and brought back some important data.

Subsequent expeditions then became about collecting as much information and data about the Sirens as possible.

As times have changed, the top leadership no longer issues expedition orders, but the Freeport still retains this annual event.

The purpose of the port expedition is not to collect data, nor for humanity, but for themselves. As ship girls, even if it only happens once a year and is extremely dangerous, they still want to be the attackers and go into the deep sea to fight the Sirens.

"Please allow me to consider this matter. When exactly will the expedition depart?"
