"Yes, Admiral. We are doing as you instructed, conquering as much of the deep sea as possible. We have just conquered areas 2-4," Yamato said happily.

While conquering areas 2-4, Yamato and her team once again found themselves unable to sense the Admiral's presence. However, having learned from their experience in areas 1-4, Yamato and her team were not afraid; on the contrary, they were eagerly anticipating the impact of the enhanced soul network of Mikami Hiroyu on them. Yamato and her team were not disappointed. After waiting a few seconds, what they had predicted happened. Now, every ship girl in Mikami Hiroyu's fleet felt a greater control over their ship equipment, and the shells fired from the main guns were more destructive.

However, besides their increased power, Yamato and Taihou experienced something else. They discovered an unfamiliar power within their bodies, a power that was not only strong but also stronger than the power of their main cannons, and extremely mysterious. This power suddenly appeared after Mikami Hiroyu completed the amplification of the soul network. Before Yamato and Taihou could even study this power, Mikami Hiroyu's words were transmitted through the soul network.

"You've worked hard. After you've sorted out the resources on islands 2-4, head back to Maizuru! You must be tired," said Mikami Hiroyu with concern.

"Yes, Admiral. However, there is one matter that requires your decision," Yamato stammered.

"Oh, what is it that requires my personal decision?" Mikami Hiroyu asked curiously.

"It's hard to explain in a short time. You'll know once you take a look yourself, Admiral," Yamato said directly. It seems things are a bit complicated.

After Mikami Hiroyu controlled Yamato using the soul network, he witnessed an unbelievable scene through Yamato's perspective.

A white, deep-sea loli was chasing after Kaga, speaking in a voice unique to the deep sea, but which Mikami Hiroyu found rather cute: "Hand over Reifeng, I want Reifeng!" What was even more unbelievable to Mikami Hiroyu was that Nagato was actually following behind that little deep-sea loli, looking like a lovesick woman.

Yu Shen Haoyu sensed an extremely powerful deep-sea resentment emanating from the little deep-sea girl. Moreover, this little girl possessed her own consciousness, suggesting she was at least a superior individual among deep-sea vessels bearing names like "Demon," "Princess," "War Demon," or "War Princess," possessing abilities far exceeding those of ordinary deep-sea vessels. However, what Yu Shen Haoyu couldn't understand was why such a scene was unfolding.

"Iowa, can you explain to me what's happening right in front of me?" Misami Hiroyu asked in the soul network.

Iowa: "Admiral, the Abyssal Fleet that followed Kaga and asked her for the Reppu is the flagship of the 2-4 Sea Area Abyssal Fleet, the Northern Princess. We spent a lot of effort to eliminate all the Abyssal Fleets except for this Northern Princess. However, we were unable to attack this still-childish Abyssal Fleet and were about to retreat when this Northern Princess came over and asked Kaga for Kaga's carrier-based aircraft, the Reppu. As for why Nagato is acting this way, I have no idea."

After hearing Iowa's explanation, Mikami Hiroyu agreed with Yamato and the others' actions. Mikami Hiroyu and his fleet, after all, weren't from the Abyss, and couldn't bring themselves to kill a little girl, even knowing that she would likely become their strongest enemy as she grew up. However, he was somewhat puzzled by the Abyss girl's reaction and Nagato's reaction within his own fleet.

After thinking for a moment, Yu Shen Haoyu said in the soul network, "Forget about the deep sea. You guys come back first!"

"Yes, Admiral. By the way, Admiral, how are the destroyers you rescued? Are they safe?" Yuudachi was very worried about the injuries of the four ship girls who were also destroyers like herself.

"Don't worry about that. They're all out of danger now, they just haven't woken up yet. I estimate they'll wake up by the time you get back to Wuhe," Yu Shenhao said with a smile.

"Then I'm relieved, Poi," Yuudachi said happily.

"Alright, I'll be waiting for your triumphant return in Maizuru!" After saying that, Yu Shenhaoyu immediately disconnected from the soul network, because he discovered that the brown-haired girl in the four destroyers had already woken up.

"Then let's go back to Maizuru!" Yamato said, her eyes truly opened, after Mikami Hiroyu broke free from her control.

"Okay, Yamato-senpai, let's hurry back to Maizuru!" After hearing Mikami Hiroyu say that the four destroyers were out of danger, Yuudachi wanted to return to Maizuru immediately to see her comrades.

Why was Yuudachi so worried about these four destroyers? Besides her kind heart, there was another very important reason: she was currently the only destroyer in Maizuru Naval Base. Yuudachi felt a little lonely. Although Yamato and the others were very kind to her, and Eugen was also very close to her, Yuudachi always felt that something was missing.

Currently, at Maizuru Naval Base, Yuudachi is completely useless in conquering the seas. Often, Yamato and her allies can wipe out the Abyssal Fleet in a single attack.

As a member of the Maizuru Naval Base, Yuudachi also wanted to contribute her strength to her admiral. Knowing that Mikami Hiroyu had been struggling with resource shortages, Yuudachi offered to send her on an expedition. However, Mikami Hiroyu refused, citing that Yuudachi was currently the only destroyer available. Now that the naval base will likely have four more destroyers, the admiral will probably agree to let Yuudachi join those four destroyers on the expedition.

After hearing Mikami Hiroyu's order, Yamato and the others quickly reorganized the fleet. Although Nagato was a little reluctant to part with the adorable little Abyssal, she absolutely had to obey Mikami Hiroyu's orders. However, as Nagato rejoined the fleet, she kept turning back to look at the Abyssal who was staring intently at Kaga.

After the fleet had reorganized its formation, Yamato said, "Let's go back to Maizuru! The Admiral is still waiting for us!"

"Oh"

Right after Yamato left, the little girl, Shinmi, thought for a while and then followed Yamato and the others back to Maizuru.

Chapter 138 The Sixth Destroyer Squadron

Yamato and the others were completely unaware that a flagship of the deep sea, the Northern Princess, was following behind them.

Yamato and Taihou were pondering the powerful new force that had suddenly appeared within them. They knew nothing about this power. However, because Mikami Hiroyu's soul network had been strengthened twice, Yamato didn't experience intense hunger after a day of intense battles, and even replenishing her resources along the way was minimal. This made Yamato very happy; it meant she wouldn't be a burden to Mikami Hiroyu and could fight even better for him.

Yamato's idea wasn't unique to her; it's estimated that, apart from Yuudachi and Eugen, every ship girl in Mikami Hiroyu's fleet shared a similar sentiment, though Yamato's was probably the strongest!

Lei had thought she would die in the deep sea with her sisters, but after hearing the deafening roar of cannons, a gentle voice reached her ears. Lei tried to open her eyes to see who could have such a gentle voice, but she couldn't. Her strength was waning, and her bodily functions were slowly ceasing. Lei knew she wouldn't live much longer, and her only regret was that she wouldn't be able to see the person who had spoken such a gentle voice.

However, Lei then overheard Hibiki's conversation with the human, a moment Lei would never forget. Mikami Hiroyu had vowed to save them. But the human's voice grew fainter, and Lei could no longer feel the pain in her body. Just when Lei thought she was going to die, she discovered that she was slowly regaining control of her body. The pain and wounds were gradually disappearing. She felt much better, like someone returning from a long expedition. Yes, returning from an expedition; only someone returning from an expedition could feel this way.

After confirming that she had indeed fallen into the canal, Lei was filled with gratitude for the human who had saved her and her sister. Then, upon learning that she and her sister could survive, the tension in her heart immediately eased, and she slowly drifted off to sleep in the warm water.

After an unknown amount of time, Lei sensed a peculiar presence outside the bathroom. Curious, Lei opened her eyes and saw a little boy, dressed in an admiral's uniform and only slightly taller than her, standing before her.

Lei was a little surprised, but he was still certain that it was this human admiral, only slightly taller than himself, who had saved the four sisters. Lei looked at his sisters and sensed a strong vitality emanating from them; their injuries had also disappeared.

"Thank you for saving us," Lei said gratefully.

But right after Lei finished speaking, a few gurgling sounds came from her stomach. Lei immediately felt embarrassed and squatted down in the water, only her mouth and above remaining above the surface. Her face was flushed, whether from the water or from embarrassment, it was hard to tell.

Yu Shen Haoyu didn't laugh at her, but simply asked gently, "Are you hungry?"

Under the gentle voice of Yu Shenhaoyu, Lei forgot his shyness and nodded embarrassedly.

"You wait here first. I reckon your sisters will wake up soon. Take care of them for a bit. I'll go get you some food!" Yu Shen Haoyu said, glancing at the other three, who seemed to be waking up as well.

Thank you for your help.

"Then you wait here, I'll be right back," said Mikami Hiroyu before going out to get them some food. Although Mikami Hiroyu had readily available resources, nothing tasted as good as what Mamiya made.

Not long after Mikami Hiroyu left, Rai's sisters woke up one by one. After confirming that they had been rescued, they all asked who had saved them. Just as Rai was about to explain to them, Mikami Hiroyu and Mamiya came in with food.

"Are you all awake? That's good. You can come out now! It's not a good idea to eat in the bathroom. Mamiya, could you help them out?" Mikami Hiroyu said, taking the food out.

“That admiral was the one who saved us,” Lei said after Mikami Hiroyu left.

“I know,” Hibiki said calmly. However, although her tone was calm, her expression was not as calm as her tone.

"Hibiki, how did you know?" Dian, who had the same hair color as Rai, asked.

"Secret," Hibiki only uttered those two words before leaving the bathroom and, guided by Mamiya, going to change her clothes.

"Stingy" Dian pouted and went to change her clothes.

Lei seemed to know why Hibiki knew, and how Hibiki knew it was Mikami Hiroyu who had saved them. But since Hibiki didn't want to talk about it, he decided to pretend he didn't know either!

"We must thank them properly later, so that we can become independent and graceful ladies," Xiao, with long purple hair, said while changing clothes.

Mikami Hiroyu waited outside for nearly ten minutes before Mamiya brought Akatsuki and the other three out.

They were about to thank Mikami Hiroyu first when their stomachs rumbled in strong protest. Mikami Hiroyu smiled and pointed to the food on the table, saying, "You should eat first! We can talk about everything else after we eat. Mamiya's cooking is absolutely delicious! It won't taste good if it gets cold."

Mamiya laughed and said, "The Admiral is right, why don't you eat first! Or do you think my cooking isn't good?"

Xiao and the others shook their heads in unison. The aroma wafting from there was enough to prove that the food on the table was delicious.

"I know what you're trying to say, but right now, it's most important for you to eat first."

“Since you’ve said so, we can’t be true ladies if we don’t eat. Xiang, Lei, and Dian, let’s eat first.” Xiao led the way to the table and said, “I’m starting.” Then she ate in a very ladylike manner, but after a few bites she completely abandoned her ladylike demeanor and started eating in big mouthfuls.

With someone taking the lead, things became much easier. The remaining three said, "I'll get started," and then followed in the footsteps of the previous person.

Perhaps they were truly starving; each of them, acting as a destroyer, consumed nearly the amount of food a heavy cruiser would need. After the meal, the four seemed to realize their inappropriate behavior and looked at Mikami Hiroyu and Mamiya with embarrassment, simply keeping their heads down as they searched for the unknown creature hiding in the room.

(That'll be three updates today! Four updates tomorrow!! 1).

Chapter 139 Adorable Elementary School Students

"Alright, stop looking down. There's nothing good on my floor," Mikami Hiroyu said with a smile.

After hearing Yu Shenhao's words, Xiao and the others could no longer keep their heads down. They all raised their heads to look at Yu Shenhao and bowed at the same time, saying, "Thank you for saving us!"

Looking at the four people who were in sync, Yu Shenhaoyu exclaimed, "Are you four pregnant? Such a high synchronization rate."

“Although we’re not a quadruple pregnancy, we have even better teamwork than quadruple pregnancy. Oh, right, I haven’t introduced myself yet. I’m the first ship of the Akatsuki-class destroyer – Akatsuki. Please treat me as a capable and elegant lady! I’m also their older sister.” Akatsuki started by introducing herself.

"I am the 22nd ship of the Fubuki-class special-type destroyer and the second ship of the Akatsuki-class special-type III destroyer—'Верный'. You can also call me Hibiki," Hibiki introduced herself in her unique voice.

"Верный, Russian?" Mikami Hiroyu was a little confused.

“Hibiki has a somewhat special history,” Akatsuki explained to Mikami Hiroyu. Mikami Hiroyu nodded to indicate that he understood. Although Mikami Hiroyu did not know much about the history of World War II, he did know that in order to survive the Pacific War, Japan had ceded a destroyer to the Soviet Union as reparations. This destroyer was the 22nd ship of the Fubuki-class destroyer (the second ship of the Akatsuki-class) – the “Hibiki”.

On July 5, 1947, after completing its demobilization and transport mission, it was handed over to the Soviet Union. After the handover, the ship's name was changed to "Верный", which means "reliable", and it was equipped with Soviet-made weapons.

It was only when Yu Shen Haoyu thought about this that he noticed this calm and collected loli ship girl with heterochromatic eyes, but her head and body were a little taller than the other three, compared to the original! The color of her clothing had changed to a Russian-style white, and the hat on her head had the sickle and star from the Soviet Navy ensign.

"I'm sorry," Mikami Hiroyu immediately apologized to Hibiki after Akira explained.

"It's okay," Hibiki said calmly.

"Now it's my turn! I am the third ship of the Akatsuki-class destroyer—'Ikazuchi'. My name is Ikazuchi, not lightning! Nice to meet you!" Ikazuchi said energetically.

After the first three introduced themselves, Den introduced herself: "I am the fourth ship of the Akatsuki-class destroyer—'Den.' Um... please don't confuse me with Ikazuchi, even though we look very similar."

Yu Shen Haoyu: "You are Lei." Yu Shen Haoyu pointed at Lei and said, and Lei nodded.

"You are electricity," Yu Shen Haoyu said, pointing to electricity after confirming that he was lightning. Electricity nodded in return.

"I've got it, I won't get it mixed up. Oh, right, I haven't introduced myself yet! I'm the admiral of this naval base—Mikami Hiroyu."

Ray: "May we have a tour of your naval base?"

"Lei, this is very rude of you, Admiral. Please don't take offense," Xiao interrupted before Lei could finish speaking.

“Of course!” Mikami Hiroyu said with a smile.

In the following time, Mikami Hiroyu led the four destroyers on a brief tour of Maizuru. During this time, Mikami Hiroyu learned from them why they had ended up in Sea Area 1-4 and had been severely damaged by the deep-sea forces in Sea Area 1-4.

Akatsuki and her companions weren't always the four of them. In this world, they were neglected destroyers, disliked by their admiral, and ultimately had their contracts terminated, becoming wandering ship girls. They persevered in this world until, during their wanderings, they encountered their sister ships.

Normally, the combined energy of the four of them could rival that of a heavy cruiser. However, today they encountered two Abyssal heavy cruisers at sea. They managed to eliminate one of them with great effort, but the remaining one was beyond their capabilities. Left with no other option, they fled, eventually reaching the 1-4 sea area of ​​Maizuru.

Upon discovering Akatsuki and her companions, the deep-sea vessels in areas 1-4 immediately launched an attack. Akatsuki and her group were initially doomed to be sunk. However, the heavy cruiser that had been chasing them, enraged to see its prey stolen, attacked the deep-sea vessels in areas 1-4 without hesitation. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Akatsuki and her group escaped to a small island in the area.

After listening to Akatsuki and the others, Yushin Hiroyu finally understood why. The deep sea of ​​Sea 1-4 attacked Yamato and her companions as soon as they arrived; there was a story behind it all.

Led by Mikami Hiroyu, Akatsuki and the others toured various locations in Maizuru. They had seen many naval bases, but the only one comparable to Maizuru Naval Base was probably the Grand Naval Base!

"Um, can I ask a question?" Xiao hesitated for a moment, but couldn't resist her curiosity.

“Sure!” Yu Shenhaoyu replied without turning his head.

"Is it just you and Mamiya-nee in that huge naval base? Aren't there any other ship girls?" Akatsuki blurted out in one breath.

Akatsuki was genuinely curious about this question. After Akatsuki asked, Hibiki, Rai, and Den all looked at Mikami Hiroyu with curious expressions. They hadn't seen Yuudachi and Eugen while they were unconscious, so they didn't know if Mikami Hiroyu had any ship girls besides Mamiya.

Seeing the four of them staring at his destroyer like curious children, Yu Shenhaoyu suddenly had the idea to tease them.

A subtle, almost imperceptible movement appeared at the corner of Mikami Hiroyu's mouth before he spoke in a low voice, "I didn't expect you guys to notice. I'm a very incompetent admiral. Apart from building Mamiya, I haven't been able to build any other ship girls, and no other ship girls have joined my naval base yet."

Xiao and the others were so moved by Yushin Hiroyu's somber tone that they momentarily forgot how he had gotten to Sea Areas 1-4 without his ship girls, and how he had rescued them from the powerful depths of the ocean. They were now only thinking about how to comfort Yushin Hiroyu, completely forgetting this point.

“It’s all Xiao’s fault! I told you not to ask such random questions!” Lei was the first to step forward.

Although Hibiki didn't speak, he gave Akatsuki a reproachful look.

"Don't give up, you will definitely build it," Dian comforted Yu Shenhao.

"But I've tried to build it so many times, but I just can't. Is it because there's only me and Mamiya left in this naval base?" Seeing that his lie hadn't been exposed, Mikami Hiroyu continued.

"You have to believe in yourself, you can definitely do it," Xiao realized she had said the wrong thing and immediately joined Dian in comforting Yu Shen Haoyu.

"I gave up a long time ago; I smashed the construction machine a few days ago! However, I do have a solution," Yu Shenhao finally revealed his wicked intentions.

Chapter 140 They're still just children!

Little did the innocent and adorable Xiao and her friends know that Yu Shen Haoyu, who was feigning pitifulness in front of them, was plotting something sinister against them. They were being deceived by Yu Shen Haoyu's pitiful expression.

Telephone: "So what's your solution? Tell us, maybe we can help."

Xiao: "Exactly! A true lady should help others, so just say it!"

Hibiki: "My name 'Верный' isn't just for show; I am trustworthy."

Lei: "Just come out! We four sisters will definitely help you with anything we can do!"

Yu Shen Haoyu saw that his fishing hook had reacted. Now, the most important and difficult part was how to finish it off.

"Right now, in this massive naval base, it's just me and Mamiya. Mamiya can only take care of my daily needs, but he has no fighting ability whatsoever, so I'm thinking..."

"What are you thinking?" the four exterminators asked in unison.

"Before we begin, I have a question for you all." Seeing that he could wrap things up, Yu Shenhao began to work on wrapping things up step by step.

Xiao: "You said..."

"It's a very simple question. Do any of you four have an admiral?"

Hiroyuki's question surprised Akatsuki and the others. They had all considered the possibility that Hiroyuki might say something else, but he steered the conversation towards whether they had any admirals. Although Akatsuki and the others were surprised that Hiroyuki would ask this question, they were completely unguarded and answered his question seriously.

"If you're asking whether any of the four of us are admirals, then you should speak," Akatsuki said, handing the conversation over to her sister Hibiki halfway through her sentence.

Mikami Hiroyu was really looking forward to Akatsuki saying that they didn't have an admiral, but Akatsuki seemed a bit mischievous. Instead of saying it herself, she made her younger sister Hibiki say it.

Hibiki rolled her eyes at Akira, then looked at Mikami Hiroyu and said, "The four of us weren't originally together. After our admiral built us, he thought our combat power wasn't enough, so he terminated the contract. Later, because we were sister ships, the four of us gradually came together. So, we don't have the admiral's authority."

After hearing Hibiki recount their experiences, Mikami Hiroyu felt a pang of sympathy for them. In this world, a destroyer without an admiral or a naval base—how difficult it must be to survive in the shadows of the deep sea. And from Akatsuki and the others' joyful expressions, it was clear they were not only alive but also very happy.
