Comprehensive Comics KanColle: Building a Dimensional Empire from Scratch

"..."

Ryougi Shiki and Touko chatted for a while longer, but did not get a definite solution, which was a little disappointing.

Just as she was about to take her leave.

hum...

A small shuttle landed outside the window.

Before the two astonished people, the angel flapped its wings and leaped down, gesturing for them to proceed.

"Miss Ryougi, Miss Aozaki, Master wishes to see you."

"Huh?! You are..."

While Orange was still in shock, Ryougi Shiki stared blankly at the angel and the spaceship.

"You are... the Starsea Empire?!"

……

……

"what……"

Although it was her first time stepping onto a Star Empire spaceship, Ryougi Shiki had a strong sense of déjà vu.

Everything here is so familiar, as if I have been here a thousand times.

"sit down."

The angel invited them to sit down and served them tea and refreshments.

"You are... the commander of the Starsea Empire?"

Without any hesitation, she called out Lu Chen's name the moment they met.

Aozaki Touko watched in stunned silence.

"Wow, what kind of plot twist is this? You even know aliens?"

"The Ryougi family is unbelievable!... Wait, could this be what you were just talking about?!..."

"Yes."

Realizing she had been somewhat rude, Ryougi Shiki nodded slightly and resumed her usual aloof demeanor.

"It's the root cause that's affecting you, isn't it?"

Lu Chen smiled.

“She is connected to the Roots, and in a sense, she is also connected to me and the Starsea Empire. Her feelings will also be transmitted to you unintentionally.”

"The root... style?"

Seeing that Ryougi Shiki looked a little confused, Lu Chen explained a few more points.

Ryougi Shiki is a person with dual personality; she has one personality with absolute physical control and another proxy personality.

These two personalities coexist, and the individual can decide which personality manifests outwardly.

For example, "Shi" represents "yin" and has the temperament of a traditional young lady, while "Zhi" represents "yang" and is carefree and unconcerned with details.

But beyond that, there is a Root Form that is completely connected to the Root Source. If the Form and the Weave represent Yin and Yang in the Two Forms, then the Root Form is equivalent to the Great Circle Taiji that contains both of them. It is the essence of the Form and the Weave. Neither of them knew of the existence of the Root Form.

"She is usually asleep and won't interfere with your life. However, recently she has probably received too much information about the Star Sea Empire, which has affected you as well."

Lu Chen looked at Shi (okay).

"..."

Ryougi Shiki was a little confused.

"You mean, what I saw was real, and she went to another world?!"

"She is merely linked to me and the Starsea Empire through the Roots; her way of existence is different from yours."

Lu Chen replied, extending a simple and straightforward invitation to the two of them.

"I invite you to join the Starsea Empire. You will have more room for development in the capital, and I will also answer your questions."

"This world will soon be under our control. As for Miss Orange... I will provide additional funding for you to establish a workshop and research any projects that interest you."

"So? Think about it?... Zhou?"

(The picture shows Ryougi Shiki.)

"Oh……"

After a brief moment of thought and consideration, and with the idea of ​​seeing that mysterious and distant world, Aozaki Touko was the first to accept Lu Chen's invitation.

Anyway, for Orange, there's nothing particularly worth missing about life here, so it's good to go to a new place and broaden her horizons.

Lu Chen also told her that Qingzi would be coming soon.

Ryougi Shiki pressed one hand to her head, feeling a throbbing pain in her head from receiving too much information at once.

"How about this, I think you need to have a talk with yourself?"

Lu Chen smiled and reached out to touch Ryougi Shiki's forehead.

Swah——

Her consciousness was instantly pulled into a deeper space, stepping into a boundless void.

The Vortex of Origin.

Another, or rather two other "selves," are also waiting for her here.

The long-haired and indifferent "Shiki" and the short-haired and curious "Ori" stared at each other.

Beside him stood another Root-type with a detached expression.

"Hey, where is this? How did you get me here all of a sudden?"

I looked at Zhi Si at 500. Although her appearance was exactly the same as Ryougi Shiki's, she was much more cheerful and straightforward.

He moved right up to Lu Chen and looked him up and down.

"This is the root of the problem."

Lu Chen answered.

"I'm allowing your personalities to manifest independently here. I think it will be easier for you to reach a consensus if you can communicate with each other?"

"..."

The source cast a surprised glance.

She was originally the "origin" of the Ryougi family when they created multiple personalities, and she was given intellectual abilities. She also created "Shiki" and "Ori" based on herself.

Normally, Shiki's personality is dominant, and she acts as the eldest daughter of the Ryougi family. Ryougi only appears when Shiki loses consciousness or actively switches personalities.

However, neither the style nor the weaving is fully aware of the existence of the root style.

Now, thanks to Lu Chen's divine power, the three of them have achieved an unbelievable encounter.

"..."

The style and the weaving remained silent.

The feeling of talking to yourself is quite strange. Since they are essentially the same person, with the same memories and the same abilities, but different personalities and ways of thinking, you have no idea what to talk about at this moment.

They could only look together at the Root, that omnipotent being hidden in the deepest recesses.

"So, you knew about the Starsea Empire and that... Commander's existence all along?"

Zhi casually approached.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner? I keep having strange dreams while sleeping, and I also have hallucinations during class. It's so annoying!"

“When I manifest, you will completely lose consciousness and lose the memory of that time. Therefore, under normal circumstances, we cannot communicate directly, nor is there any need for us to communicate.”

Root cause analysis.

"The anomalies you perceive come from the influence of the Vortex of Roots, because we are still essentially human, and some memories will appear in your mind in a subconscious way."

"You've been to the Star Sea Empire?"

The style keenly captured a problem.

"There isn't one in a physical sense, but I know the situation there."

Shake your head in a root-cause manner.

"The Vortex of Origin is controlled by the Commander. Through it, I shared a portion of my memories and knowledge, which is a form of omniscience."

Similar to Ayaka Sajou, by connecting with the Root, they quickly gained access to information about the Star Ocean Empire, only to inadvertently interfere with Shiki's daily life.

"Hmm...it's so complicated."

Zhi was overwhelmed by the news, so she rubbed her hair and shook her head.

She pointed to the Pose and the Root Pose, then pointed to herself.

"Put all the messy stuff aside for now. In short, you are me, and you are me."

"The question we need to discuss now is whether or not to go to the Star Empire with the Commander?"

"Ah."

The root of the matter is to nod slightly and look towards the direction.

"I will not interfere with your choices. Whether you stay here or go somewhere else, you will still be you."

"..."

Shi was speechless, unable to describe the strange feeling of discussing things with himself.

She did not possess the ability of Root Omniscience and knew nothing about the Starsea Empire; her only impressions came from those seemingly plausible illusions and fragments.

After meeting Lu Chen, things started to get increasingly outrageous.

"...You can't make up your mind either?"

Zhi Kanshi hesitated, then thought for a moment.

"How about we vote by raising our hands?"

"???"

Ryougi Shiki felt like she had seen a ghost.

It's strange enough to talk to yourself, but to have to raise your hand to vote on a problem is even weirder.

Zhi seemed completely unconcerned and raised her hand voluntarily.

"I want to go and see the Star Sea Empire. It should be more fun than studying here, right?"

"By the way, since you've already been there, you must support it, right? Doesn't that make it 2 to 1?"

She looked at the Root and blinked.

"..."

Ryougi Shiki is exhausting.

Thanks to Lu Chen, she felt she was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

After a moment of silence, she nodded in agreement.

"I understand."

"So readily agreed? I thought you preferred the life of the young lady of the Ryougi family."

Zhi asked curiously.

Once her independent personality emerged, she could even joke with herself—amazing!

"...Even if I refuse, you and she can find a way to go to the Star Sea Empire. I have no way to stop you."

Answer in this style.

The Root Form could easily take over the body, but she simply didn't want to. As for the Weaving... it's normal for a personality symbolizing "Yang" to have an adventurous spirit.
