Fantasy in the world of crossover anime

"Brother Maoshu, what are you doing here?" Yu Shenhao asked curiously.

Not only was Mikami Hiroyu surprised, but even Yamato and the others were astonished.

Maruyama Shigeki: "I received orders from the Governor-General to put me in charge of your affairs during the competition."

Mikami Hiroyu: "Governor?"

Maruyama Shigeki: "Yes, the Governor-General!"

"I didn't expect the Governor to think so highly of me. I'll have to trouble you with me for the next few days, Brother Maoshu."

"No trouble at all, not at all. I think the contestants need to be here by 7 o'clock, and it's getting late. Let's head out!"

"Target: the competition venue, let's go!" Yuudachi said before leading the way.

Mikami Hiroyu looked at Maruyama Shigeki and smiled helplessly. Yuudachi was a composed destroyer yesterday, but today she suddenly revealed her true nature.

"Brother Maoshu, I'm sorry you had to see this. Let's go!"

"Ok"

------------

When Mikami Hiroyu arrived at the competition venue, the area was already filled with admirals and their ship girls.

When these admirals saw Taihou and Iowa behind Mikami Hiroyu, many of them looked at him with a strange expression. However, this was, after all, the backstage area for the admiral's competition, and they figured they'd be taken away by the military police before they could even make a move. For the sake of 15 resources, these admirals held back.

Although these admirals were all looking at Mikami Hiroyu with dangerous eyes, the ship girls looked at him quite normally. They would simply ask Mikami Hiroyu if he had found their lost items, or if he had seen their admirals.

At first, Hiroyuki Mikami was very kind in answering the ship girls' questions, after all, his desire for a destroyer was still strong. Hoping to leave a good impression on these destroyers, Hiroyuki Mikami answered all their questions seriously.

However, Mikami Hiroyu gradually noticed something was amiss. After Mikami Hiroyu returned, these destroyer ship girls not only didn't leave, but instead asked him other questions. Soon, many other admirals' ship girls surrounded Mikami Hiroyu.

"Please give flowers," "Please give tips," "Please add to favorites," or "Please give monthly tickets"—even just 1 Feilu coin would be appreciated!

Chapter 105: Engrave victory on the horizon at dawn!

While Hiroyu Mikami was talking to the other ship girls, the members of Hiroyu Mikami's fleet, led by Yamato, were a little unhappy. "How dare you outsiders touch our admiral?" they thought. But despite their unhappiness, they couldn't let their admiral lose face here, so Yamato and the others held back.

But why are there so many?! They know that their admiral emits a very pleasant scent. Although the admiral himself may not know this, how could they, as ship girls of Mikami Hiroyu, not know it?

Just as Mikami Hiroyu was hoping Yamato and the others would come to his aid, Prinz Eugen finally couldn't hold back any longer. She shielded Mikami Hiroyu behind her and said to the many destroyers, "The admiral is ours; you have your own admirals."

“Eugen is right, the admiral is ours, you have your own admiral Poi,” Yuudachi chimed in.

Yuudachi's words informed the admirals who had been wondering what kind of ship girl Eugen was since Mikami Hiroyu entered. This further solidified the admirals' already somewhat skeptical attitude towards Mikami Hiroyu, making them even more determined to teach him a lesson on the battlefield.

The information revealed by Yuudachi has piqued the interest of admirals who hadn't previously paid attention to Mikami Hiroyu. Although they've always been called "Europeans" (meaning lucky in the game), they actually have very few ship girls they can actually field. Incidentally, the admirals who showed a dangerous glint in their eyes from the very beginning are those who aren't good at shipbuilding, those who only build destroyers, and those who are essentially hunting in Africa (a metaphor for being unlucky in the game). This is very important, so I'll say it three times.

While the African admirals were giving Mikami Hiroyu dangerous looks, these Europeans wouldn't do anything so unrefined. Although they were curious about how Mikami Hiroyu had managed to fill his fleet with high-level and rare ship girls, they wouldn't openly look at him with envy and danger. At most, they would do it secretly, since no one would know anyway.

Fortunately, the staff in charge of grouping arrived and rescued Yu Shenhao in time.

This relieved Yu Shen Haoyu, who touched Eugen's hand and said gratefully, "Thank you, Eugen."

Eugen giggled shyly twice, and Yuudachi followed up, saying, "Admiral, and me, Poi too."

"I can't forget you!" After saying that, Mikami Hiroyu placed his other hand on Yuudachi's head.

“poi”

Yamato, Taihou, and Iowa all looked at Yuudachi and Eugen with envy. If they had known that the Admiral would give them such a reward, they shouldn't have acted like that back then. If they had taken the initiative to stand up, they would be the ones receiving the reward now.

Although Kaga didn't show any envy, he said, "Admiral, it's your turn to go and form groups now," which made Mikami Hiroyu stop patting Yuudachi and Eugen's heads.

Finally, under the guidance of the staff, Yu Shen Haoyu drew his group – Group B. According to the information Yu Shen Haoyu had heard, those admirals with high-level and rare ship girls were all assigned to Group A, which reassured Yu Shen Haoyu a lot. This way, he could properly improve the levels of Kaga and Eugen before the preliminary rounds.

Groups A and B were assigned to different sea areas for the preliminary rounds. The competition would only take place in the designated sea area on this small island once the preliminary rounds began. On the platform displaying the competition results, Yu Shen Haoyu saw that Group A had 200 participating admirals and Group B had 400 participating admirals.

Group A's competition area is in the sea east of this island, while Group B's competition area is in the sea west of this island—two completely different directions.

After the groups were divided, the members of each group, along with their respective fleets, stood in neat rows within their respective groups. The person in charge of the competition, after the two groups were in position, loudly announced to the leadership platform in a reporting tone: "Governor-General Nagata Nobunaga, and Principal Nishio Yohei, all 600 participants in the Admiral's Drill Competition are now present."

Following the gaze of the person reporting, Mikami Hiroyu saw that while he was surrounded by those overly enthusiastic ship girls, two people had already taken up positions on the podium. One was Governor-General Nobunaga, whom he knew, and the other was Yohei Nishio, the principal of the Naval Admiral Academy, whom he had never met before.

After the two on stage declined each other's offer, Yohei Nishio, the principal of the Naval Admiral School, finally spoke first.

I believe most of the people here are graduates of the Naval Admiral School, and as its principal, I am very pleased...

Yohei Nishio, the principal of the Naval Admiral's School, spoke for only a few minutes. He was greeted with enthusiastic applause after sitting down. However, when Nobunaga Nagata, the world's only marshal, was about to speak, the applause immediately ceased, leaving only the sound of the waves.

Yu Shenhao thought to himself, "It seems that this governor has quite a high reputation."

Nobunaga Nagata's voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly to everyone present: "Fellow admirals, it's gratifying to see you all gathered here this year and witness your significant growth. I recall that last year there were 500 participants, but this year there are 600, meaning another 100 admirals have conquered areas 1-4. This makes me, as the governor, very pleased. In this competition, I hope everyone will prioritize friendship over competition. After all, our enemy is the Abyss, do you understand?"

"clear"

"Very well, then let the match begin, and let victory be etched on the horizon at dawn."

Everyone present shouted together, "Let victory be etched on the horizon at dawn!" The sound pierced the sky and could be heard from dozens of miles away in the sea.

The victory was etched on the horizon at dawn, a simple message of just a dozen or so words. But it represented humanity and the ship girls' courage to fight against the powerful abyss, their unwavering determination and confidence in victory. Of course, it was for this very purpose that Mikami Hiroyu came to this world.

The staff responsible for the two groups then led their respective groups to the designated sea area. Along the way, most of the admirals in Group B looked at Yu Shen Haoyu with provocative eyes, each wanting to defeat the youngest and most envied admiral in their team. They wanted to personally defeat this admiral who inspired envy, jealousy, and hatred in the competition.

Defeating Mikami Hiroyu would not only allow him to vent his anger at the Africans, but also quickly gain fame. After all, the title of "Little Admiral" is quite prestigious now, making it a win-win situation.

After arriving at the sea area for the Group B matches, they drew lots to find their opponents. Yu Shenhao drew number 444, which is a very auspicious number.

"Requesting flowers," "Requesting tips," "Requesting favorites," or "Requesting monthly votes."

Chapter 106 A Good Start?

Iowa, seeing that Mikami Hiroyu had drawn a rather strange opponent, number 444, said speechlessly, "Admiral, can we call this a winning start?" Mikami Hiroyu and Yamato smiled dismissively.

The draw results were quickly posted on the bulletin board, which was densely filled with the opponents of all the participants in Arena B. Interestingly, the bulletin board used a tree-like structure; whoever won would draw a line upwards above their name and then challenge the same opponent again, until the top three were determined.

Area B is a large sea area, but once the opponents were announced and the referee declared the match officially started, all the participating admirals, following the instructions of the staff, found their respective match locations.

Following the instructions of the staff, Mikami Hiroyu led Yamato and the others to a sea surface known as B56.

It's 8 a.m., a cool sea breeze is blowing, and in the distance, a bright red sun is rising slowly on the other side of the horizon. But despite such fine weather and such a perfect time, not a single petrel is to be seen on the sea. Perhaps the petrels knew this place was about to become the main battleground and had long since fled far away.

When Mikami Hiroyu arrived at the so-called B56 sea area with his fleet, his opponent and his fleet were already waiting there.

"Sorry I'm late," said the person opposite Yu Shenhaoyu.

For some reason, Yu Shenhao felt as if he had seen the person opposite him before, and it seemed to have happened recently. However, no matter how hard Yu Shenhao tried to recall, he couldn't remember, since he had seen too many people in the past two days.

Although Mikami Hiroyu apologized, the other party seemed somewhat unacceptable, saying sarcastically, "Is this the legendary Mikami Hiroyu who rose from lieutenant to captain in just one week? Did the Naval Headquarters make a mistake? How could such a brat conquer areas 1-4?"

Yuu's rival is Yajima Ichido, a wealthy young master who lives a carefree life, spending his days idly. As he grows older, Yajima Ichido becomes a notorious playboy in his city. He's never done anything good, and he's always involved in mischief. He's an only child, so his family turns a blind eye to his behavior. He wouldn't have become an admiral, but one day, during a carefree outing, he harassed a captain's daughter. This led to the captain's revenge, and his family was nearly wiped out to avoid being exterminated.

Although his family wasn't wiped out, their decline was a fact. After this incident, Yajima Ichido learned of the position of Admiral, but becoming one was incredibly difficult. Shortly after, the Naval Admiral Academy came to their city searching for people with a Soul Network. Yajima Ichido, hoping to give it a try, participated, and surprisingly, he actually possessed this so-called Soul Network. He was overjoyed when the Naval Admiral Academy asked him if he would like to enroll and become an Admiral fighting against the Deep Sea.

Yajima Ichido was searching for a way to become an admiral, but he never expected that someone would ask him if he would like to become an admiral. Without thinking, Yajima Ichido immediately agreed.

After entering the Naval Admiral Academy, Yajima Ichido spent his time searching for the person who had caused his family's downfall, in addition to learning the knowledge taught there. However, when he finally found out who it was, that person had already conquered the 1-4 sea areas and become a lieutenant commander, which greatly shocked Yajima Ichido.

However, Yajima Ichido persevered because he thought of his parents at home. Although infighting among the admirals was forbidden, he could still avenge his family's decline by surpassing him in rank.

Yajima Ichido thought that once he became an admiral and had his own fleet, he could quickly rise to the rank of lieutenant commander after conquering areas 1-4. However, reality slapped him in the face. From the moment he became admiral until now, he could only build destroyers each time. Once, he had incredibly good luck and thought he might build a high-level or rare ship girl. But instead, the machine produced the heavy cruiser Myoko. This devastated Yajima Ichido, leading to the first instance of a human admiral jumping off a building because they couldn't build the ship girl they wanted.

Although many admirals have committed suicide by jumping off buildings because they couldn't bear not being able to build the ship girls they wanted, people will only remember Yajima Ichido, because he was the first to jump. If you asked who the second was, probably no one would know.

Fortunately, Yajima Ichido possessed a degree of shrewdness. Leveraging his newly built heavy cruiser Myoko and destroyers, he conquered the area from 1-1 to the outskirts of 1-4 within three years. His rank rose from lieutenant fresh out of school to captain. However, his enemy had been holding the rank of major for several years. Captain and major were only a step apart, yet worlds apart. To reach major, he needed to conquer 1-4. Unable to control the major right before him, Yajima attempted to conquer 1-4 after reorganizing his fleet, but it inevitably ended in failure. Finally, Yajima realized something was wrong and retreated quickly; otherwise, he would have suffered the same fate as Mikami Hiroyu's predecessor.

However, just as Yajima Ichido returned to his naval base with his fleet, he heard that Mikami Hiroyu had accomplished in a week what would have taken him three years. Moreover, Mikami Hiroyu's fleet included the ship girl he had invited countless times, the battleship Iowa, and the armored aircraft carrier Taihou, which he had always dreamed of. Any one of these pieces of news was hard for Yajima Ichido to accept.

Why is it that an 11-year-old kid, upon becoming an admiral, could possess the battleship Iowa and the armored aircraft carrier Taihou, while I could only build destroyers, destroyers, and more destroyers! Although the heavy cruiser Myoko allowed me to barely escape the nightmare of having nothing but destroyers, I couldn't shake off the European swagger that Mikami Hiroyuu had instilled in me.

Yajima Ichido only knew that Mikami Hiroyu possessed the battleship Iowa and the armored aircraft carrier Taihou, but he had no idea that Mikami Hiroyu was treated as a pawn and assigned to the perilous Maizuru Naval Base.

After Yajima Ichido deployed the ship girls in the fleet, he thought about the upcoming admiral's competition. Admiral Mikami Hiroyu, who had managed to get Iowa into the naval base, was now a lieutenant and would also be participating. At that moment, he hoped his opponent would be Mikami Hiroyu, to let these Europeans know the hardships they endured hunting in Africa.

Requesting flowers, rewards, favorites, or monthly tickets.

If there are any donations today, I'll resume updating three times a day!

Chapter 107 Two complicated people!

Because his naval base was quite far from the starting island, Yajima Ichido arrived at the starting island at 6 PM. He happened to see Mikami Hiroyu landing, and more importantly, he was the same Mikami Hiroyu that he had been talking about not long ago. Behind him were the battleship Iowa and the battle carrier Taihou.

Then there was the fourth ship of the Shiratsuyu-class destroyer, "Yuudachi," whom he had once invited. While Yajima could accept Yuudachi's appearance, Kaga's was a bit hard for him to accept. Although Yajima didn't know who the ship girl with the umbrella following Mikami Hiroyu was, exuding a strong Yamato Nadeshiko aura, or that blonde girl in a German military uniform who gave off an impression of wanting to take her home at first sight, was.

However, Yajima, being from Africa, knew from his intuition that these two unknown ship girls were definitely high-level and rare ship girls, and not just ordinary high-level and rare ship girls, but possibly the highest-level and rarest of the high-level ship girls, plus the regular aircraft carrier Kaga.

Yajima Ichido was barely able to resist the urge to immediately engage in a practice exercise with Mikami Hiroyu, after all, it was a battle between people. Yajima Ichido wasn't foolish enough to use destroyers and heavy cruiser girls to directly clash with someone's battleships, aircraft carriers, and aircraft carriers. Yajima Ichido's secretary ship, the heavy cruiser Myoko, had been with him for quite some time and was very clear about what the admiral was about to do, but before she could stop him, her admiral, Yajima Ichido, had already headed towards Mikami Hiroyu.

Yajima Ichido was the first to approach Mikami Hiroyu, so Mikami Hiroyu had a feeling that he had met Yajima Ichido recently. However, Mikami Hiroyu eventually realized something was wrong and ran away, greatly disappointing the African admirals led by Yajima Ichido.

However, Yajima Ichido is eagerly anticipating meeting Mikami Hiroyu on the competition field. He hopes that then he can show Iowa, Taihou, Kaga, and Yuudachi that their admiral is actually just a brat, an immature brat. He wonders if, in that case, if he defeats them, Iowa, Taihou, Kaga, and Yuudachi will lose faith in Mikami Hiroyu, abandon their contracts with him, and come to his naval base instead.

Yajima Ichido became increasingly convinced of this possibility, and he now particularly hoped to become Mikami Hiroyu's opponent on the competition field. The reason he had such confidence in defeating Mikami Hiroyu's fleet on the competition field was because Yajima Ichido had just roughly learned the levels of Mikami Hiroyu's fleet's ship girls. Apart from the battleship Iowa and the destroyer Yuudachi, whose levels were above 70, the rest of the ship girls were between 20 and 30, and Kaga and that particularly cute ship girl were still at level 0.

Furthermore, while Iowa and Yuudachi are at a relatively high level, neither has undergone their first retrofit. My own fleet, on the other hand, has mostly ship girls above level 50, and my flagship heavy cruiser Myoko, with my help, has reached level 60 and undergone her first retrofit. In that case, if Myoko defeats Iowa before her first retrofit, the rest probably won't be a match for my retrofitted destroyers.

Yajima Ichido was overjoyed at the thought of potentially having Iowa, Taihou, Kaga, and Yuudachi join his fleet. He even envisioned quickly conquering the 1-4 sea areas after receiving the ship girls from Mikami Hiroyu's fleet, rising to the rank of Lieutenant Commander, then Lieutenant Commander, Captain, and finally Fleet Admiral. At that point, the Admiral who had brought ruin to his family would at most be a Captain. He, as a Fleet Admiral, could do whatever he wanted with him. He truly looked forward to that day! However, to achieve all this, he had to defeat that 11-year-old brat—he absolutely had to defeat him.

But will reality really be as Yajima Ichido thinks? At least Yajima Ichido's flagship heavy cruiser, Myoko, doesn't think so. Myoko has been with Yajima Ichido for almost three years, and she knows very well what her admiral is thinking. But looking at her admiral, who is so clean-cut, Myoko can't bring herself to say anything to discourage Yajima Ichido.

Myoko had just truly felt the oppressive aura emanating from the umbrella-wielding ship girl exuding the aura of a Yamato Nadeshiko. Although her level was less than 30, Myoko felt that if she wanted to kill him, it wouldn't take much effort. Even without the umbrella-wielding ship girl who gave him that oppressive feeling, even with the battleship Iowa, he wasn't confident he could defeat her. Iowa seemed to have become much stronger than before, even though Iowa's level had only increased slightly and she hadn't undergone her first retrofit. An unfathomable umbrella-wielding ship girl exuding the aura of a Yamato Nadeshiko, and Iowa several times stronger than before... Myoko really had no confidence in leading Yajima's fleet to victory; he just hoped they wouldn't encounter them again.

The next day, when the battle schedule was released, Yajima Ichido learned through his inside information that his opponent was indeed the brat he had dreamed of defeating the day before—Mikami Hiroyu. Yajima Ichido jumped for joy. His fleet's shipgirl destroyer, Kiyoshimo, asked curiously, "Myoko-neechan, why is the Admiral so happy?"

Myoko patted Kiyosaku's head and said, "Admiral, he's so happy because he thinks he drew an easier opponent."

Qing Shuang then asked, "Then why is Sister Miao Gao unhappy that the Admiral drew a relatively easy opponent?"

Myoko glanced at her admiral's opponent's number plate, 88, and said with a complicated expression, "You don't understand."

Kiyosaku gave an "oh" and said nothing more. After encouraging his fleet, Yajima Ichido quickly led his fleet to the specific B56 sea area of ​​the competition, following the instructions of the staff.

Yajima Ichido waited for almost 10 minutes after arriving at the B56 sea area before Mikami Hiroyu finally arrived leisurely with Yamato and the others. Yajima Ichido had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and immediately mocked Mikami Hiroyu after he apologized.

When Iowa saw an admiral who had appeared out of nowhere daring to mock his admiral, he thought, "He's got some nerve!" Iowa originally wanted to have a serious talk with Yajima, but he was stopped by Mikami Hiroyu.

Iowa said with a displeased look, "Admiral, how dare he talk to you like that? Let me go over and teach him a lesson!"

"Iowa, don't be anxious. Have you forgotten where you are?"

"The arena for the Admiral's performance competition! What happened?"

"Yes! This is the competition venue!"

"I understand, Admiral!" Iowa immediately understood after being prompted by Mikami Hiroyu, and then looked at Yajima Ichido and his fleet with a playful look.

(Regarding the recent issue of being a bit slow! I'll explain! During the National Day holiday, I only played League of Legends! The storyline was a bit dragged out! Since readers said I was being slow, I'll speed up the storyline, but poor me, my promotion series!!)

Chapter 108 Single Line Formation: Let's Go!

After asking both sides if they were ready, the referee gave the order to start the match.

Mikami Hiroyu's fleet, with the standard aircraft carrier Kaga as its flagship, consisted of the battleships Iowa and Yamato, the armored carrier Kaga, the destroyer Yuudachi, and the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen, forming a single-line formation focused on enhanced attack. Yajima Ichiro's fleet, with the heavy cruiser Myoko as its flagship and destroyers as its main combat force, was also in operation.

After the starting command was given, both fleets lined up their formations. When Yajima Ichido saw that Mikami Hiroyu was using the newly built standard aircraft carrier Kaga as his flagship, he immediately realized that Mikami Hiroyu was just a lucky kid. The standard aircraft carrier Kaga was strong, but to use a Kaga in its initial state against my level 60 heavy cruiser Myoko, which was already upgraded, was like throwing an egg against a rock.

Even Myoko breathed a sigh of relief. If they could quickly defeat Kaga, who was still level 0, they would win the battle. While reorganizing the fleet's formation, Myoko issued this order: Once the fleet was in position, all members should attack Kaga exclusively.

Although Myoko's command was a bit strange, the ship girl's instincts still compelled her to obey.

When Yajima mocked Mikami Hiroyu as a brat without real strength, Yamato and the others were furious. Before they could even retaliate, Iowa spoke first. Although the admiral stopped Iowa, he said this was a competition arena. This clearly indicated that Mikami Hiroyu wanted to do something in the upcoming match to teach the admiral who called him a brat a lesson in inappropriate words, and also to show those who were constantly watching him with ill intent whether they had the ability to back them up.

After both sides had set up their formations, Mikami Hiroyu and Yajima both realized that their opponent had also used a single-line formation to enhance attack, just like they had. They simultaneously wondered if their opponent was being a bit foolish!

After Myoko's fleet had formed its formation, all the ship girls in the fleet, including Myoko herself, fired shells directly at Kaga, following the pre-arranged orders.

Upon seeing his fleet unleash its full firepower to attack the enemy flagship, Kaga, Yajima Ichido immediately launched an attack. Soon, the sound of exploding cannons filled the air, and Mikami Hiroyu's fleet was completely engulfed in the smoke and fire of the exploding shells. Yajima Ichido assumed that once the smoke cleared, the referee would declare him the winner of the match.

But what happened next challenged the understanding of both Yajima Ichido and the referee. The instant Yajima Ichido's fleet was in formation, all its firepower was directed at the Kaga. But why, when the smoke cleared, was the Kaga completely unscathed, except for the addition of many Zero fighters in the sky? It showed no signs of having been hit by the heavy fire. Even as the referee prepared to declare Yajima Ichido the winner, Mikami Hiroyu's flagship, the Kaga, remained perfectly intact. This made the referee immediately swallow his words.

Mikami Hiroyu looked at the shocked Yajima Ichido across from him with a playful expression, and then said, "Kaga will let him know that I am not a brat, but a real admiral."

"Yes, Admiral. I'll let him know that Maizuru Naval Base is not a place that anyone can disrespect," Kaga said with a menacing expression.

As Kaga finished speaking, the Zero fighters in the sky all aimed at the opposing fleet. The little fairies on the Zero fighters awaited Kaga's command. As soon as Kaga gave the order, they would show the enemy the power of a regular aircraft carrier.

Kaga expressionlessly took out an arrow from the quiver on his back, then held the bow in his left hand, drew the string with his right, turned his head naturally towards the opposing fleet, looked straight ahead, raised both arms, and said very seriously, "We cannot back down here." Then, he released the arrow with his right hand and it flew out quickly, transforming into dozens of Zero fighters heading towards the fleet with the heavy cruiser Myoko as its flagship.

The dozens of Zero fighters that had just prepared to attack over Kaga flew towards the enemy fleet along with the newly emerged Zero fighters.
