Fantasy in the world of crossover anime

Although Yamato hadn't regained control of his body, he sensed it. As the divine power gathered in the universe, Yamato felt he could single-handedly annihilate the entire power of the deep sea. He could clearly perceive even the slightest movement in the world.

Yamato: "Admiral, I have another question."

Mikami Hiroyu: "What is it?"

Yamato: "Admiral, so you're saying that the magic power in my body flows through you, Admiral, via the soul network, right?"

Yu Shen Haoyu nodded: "That's right."

Yamato suddenly said, somewhat embarrassed, "Admiral, what about my mana consumption..."

Upon hearing Yamato's question, Hiroyuki Mikami immediately burst out laughing. Yamato, already embarrassed, became even more shy and insisted, "Admiral..."

Hiroyu Mikami suppressed a laugh and said, "Yamato, if we're talking about resources, I'm a little worried about you, Admiral. But if we're talking about magic power, then I can tell you, it's not just you, Yamato, but all the ship girls in the fleet can use magic. You can fire hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands of magic bullets a day, and I can supply your consumption. Haven't you noticed that after you fire a magic bullet, your magic power doesn't decrease at all?"

Yu Shenhao's words shocked all the ship girls in the fleet. He could supply the entire fleet with tens of thousands of rounds a day, just like the magic consumption he'd just experienced. Just how strong was their admiral's magic power?! However, this only fueled the enthusiasm of the ship girls, led by Yi Ahua, who didn't yet possess magic power.

"Let's not talk about that now. I'll teach Taihou how to use magic first! Taihou, just like Yamato, hand over control of your body to me and watch it with your heart," Mikami Hiroyu said to the eager Taihou.

"Admiral, I'm ready," Taihou said immediately after Mikami Hiroyu finished speaking.

Having witnessed the power of Yamato's magic, Taihou was eager to try it herself. She had long anticipated the effects and destructive force of her own magic.

"I'm troubling you again, Nagato," Mikami Hiroyu said to Nagato, who was taking care of his health.

"Admiral, how could you say that? If you want to express your gratitude, Admiral, please raise our affinity level to over 90 so that I can also possess magic," Nagato said with a hopeful expression.

However, after Nagato finished speaking, he waited for a while but still did not receive a reply from Mikami Hiroyu. Only when Taihou exuded a pressure similar to that of Yamato did Nagato realize that his admiral Mikami Hiroyu had already taken control of Taihou's body and was modifying Taihou's magic.

After teaching Yamato, Mikami Hiroyu found teaching Taihou much easier. After explaining a few things to Taihou, Mikami Hiroyu skillfully changed the power source of Taihou's ship equipment from a resource-based source to a magic-based source. Then, at the interface connecting the ship equipment to the magic power source, he placed the magic circle that Mikami Hiroyu had placed inside Yamato's body.

After completing these tasks, Taihou's ship rigging disappeared. However, a bow and arrow appeared in Taihou's hand, along with a wand that exuded the same aura as the one used to modify Yamato's ship rigging.

Taihou's bow and arrow are predominantly reddish with a hint of white. They are slightly smaller than the bow and arrows carried by the Kaga ship. The two ends of the bow and arrow also feature the sun and moon, but the Earth is positioned in the very center of the bow and arrow, where it is launched from.

Dafeng picked up the bow and arrow floating in front of her and muttered to herself, "Dafeng, do you remember what I just did?"

"I'll remember that, Admiral."

"Alright, now for the important part. Your magic has two methods of use. I'll demonstrate the first one for you."

Although it was a bit strange for Taihou to talk to herself, Yamato and the others thought it was normal. They were only concerned with what Mikami Hiroyu had said about the two ways to use Taihou's magic.

"The first method is to concentrate the magic in your right hand, the one holding the string, like this."

Taifeng held the bow and arrow in her left hand, while her right hand, glued to the string, pulled it back. As she pulled, a white arrow appeared out of thin air on the bow. Then, Taifeng released her right hand at a certain point. The arrow, formed from magic, vanished in the blink of an eye.

However, just like the island that disappeared not long ago, another small island suddenly vanished.

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

Chapter 149 The Marshal's Title Within Reach

Taihou looked at the arrow she had fired, and it was astonishing that it could cause roughly the same amount of damage as Yamato's, from the same-sized island to the same width of open sea. The difference was that Yamato's exposed seabed was elliptical, while Taihou's exposed seabed was cone-shaped. This wasn't surprising; Yamato's magic bullet was round, and the damage it caused was circular, while Taihou's magic was a single magic arrow, so it was only natural that the arrow would be cone-shaped.

On the vast sea, two large craters, one large and one small, appeared under the night sky. The crater created by Yamato was half-filled, while the one created by Taihou was only just beginning to be filled.

"Taihou, that was the first way you used your magic arrows. Now I'll teach you the second way. Watch carefully." Mikami Hiroyu didn't even look at the seawater that was being filled in, after shooting the first arrow. After a while, once Taihou had grasped the first way of using the arrow, Mikami Hiroyu began teaching Taihou the second method.

"The second method of use is similar to the first in that it begins with controlling the magic before it is released. Watch closely."

After Yu Shen Haoyu finished speaking, he repeated the initial action. However, this time, three arrows appeared in his right hand. After Taihou released his right hand, the three arrows quickly multiplied, from three to six, from six to twelve, from twelve to twenty-four... Soon, countless white arrows appeared in the sky.

These arrows merely split apart; unlike the previous arrow, they did not create a large hole in the sea.

"How beautiful!" Dian said, looking at the white arrow that was emitting tiny points of light in the air.

"poi" means that Yuudachi forgot how to say it, so she just used her "poipoi" to represent it.

"This is the second use, which can split the arrows into countless pieces. However, to master this technique, one must have extremely strong control over the magic power in their body. The stronger the control, the more arrows will split." After saying this, Yu Shen Haoyu flicked his right hand, and the arrows flew together in the direction his right hand indicated.

This time, there were no large holes in the sea, only countless small holes. These small holes didn't last long before disappearing into the vast ocean.

"So, did you remember that, Taihou?"

"That's about it, Admiral."

"That's good, then I'll head out now!"

Soon, Mikami Hiroyu, who had been lying in Nagato's arms, stood up again.

Taihou's ship equipment also returned to its original form. Taihou seemed to still be savoring the feeling of Mikami Hiroyu using her body to use magic.

"Alright, that's all I can teach you now. The rest is up to you to practice," Yu Shenhaoyu concluded.

"Admiral, we will practice hard and live up to your expectations!" Yamato and Taihou said at the same time.

"I believe you on that point. Oh, by the way, there's something I need to tell you," Yu Shenhao suddenly remembered something.

"Admiral, what do you want to say?"

"Now you and Yamato can eat rice just like us humans."

"Eat rice? Admiral, what do you mean?" Yamato was a little confused!

"It's very simple. Now that you and Yamato have magic power within your bodies, it means that you can now rely on consuming my magic power to sustain your daily lives, just like the Nozomi cards. You no longer need to rely solely on consuming resources to sustain your daily lives and operations," Mikami Hiroyu said casually.

"Admiral, are you saying that we don't have to rely on resources like before, and now we can sustain ourselves by consuming your magic power?" Yamato asked in surprise.

"Yes, that's the idea. However, this can only be done within Maizuru. Outside, to avoid revealing your secret of possessing magic, you'll still need to consume resources."

Yamato: "Admiral, can Taihou and I eat the same food as you?"

"That's it, why wouldn't you like it?"

"No, I'm very happy because I can eat the same food as the Admiral!" Yamato said happily.

"Alright, that's enough for today. Go back to Maizuru. You'll be busy starting tomorrow!"

"Admiral, do you mean we should conquer the 3-1 sea area?" Nagato asked eagerly.

"You're overthinking it. I haven't even gotten the rewards for conquering Sea Area 2-4 yet, and you're already thinking about conquering Sea Area 3-1," Yu Shen Haoyu said speechlessly.

Nagato chuckled a few times and said again, "Now it seems the Governor already knows that we, Maizuru, have reached the entrance to Sea Area 3-1. I just wonder what the Governor's expression will be when he finds out that the Admiral, after conquering Sea Areas 1-4, actually conquered Sea Area 2-4 in just one day."

"I reckon he'll be quite surprised. Speaking of rewards, now that the Admiral has conquered areas 2-4, according to the General Naval Base's reward system, where will the Admiral's rank be promoted?" Yuudachi asked curiously.

“我算算，1-4海域是少佐，2-1海域是中佐，2-2海域是大佐，2-3海域是上佐，那2-4海域就是少将了。提督恭喜你成为了最年轻的少将！离元帅越来越近了。”欧根数值手指说道。

"Admiral, why don't we just clear up to 5-1 and let you rise directly from Major to Marshal, creating a legend that no one can surpass?" Nagato offered a constructive suggestion.

根据小妖精得到来的情报，深海占领的海域，一共有五个区域。分别是1-1海域到1-4海域是第一区域，2-1海域到2-4海域是第二区域，3-1海域到3-4海域是第三区域，4-1海域到4-4海域是第四区域，第五海域只有一个据点，但是这一个据点居住的都是深海的具有鬼、姬、战鬼、战姬为铭牌的深海栖舰为深海栖舰的上位个体，具有超乎普通深海栖舰的能力。

Originally, Nagato had never even considered directly conquering the deep-sea stronghold. He wouldn't have dared to even dream of it before, let alone propose it. But after joining the Maizuru Naval Base of Mikami Kouyu and becoming a member of the Mikami Kouyu Fleet, Nagato's ambitions grew, and his audacity increased. Now, he's even set his sights on the deep-sea stronghold of Sea 5-1, a place where any single Deep Sea warrior could easily overwhelm humanity.

According to the Admiral rank promotion mechanism provided by the Naval Headquarters, as long as Mikami Hiroyu conquered the 4-1 sea area, he could become the second person in human history to hold the title of Marshal, just like Nagata Nobunaga. Although Mikami Hiroyu is only 11 years old, if he wanted to obtain this title, it would probably take him a very long time to easily achieve it.

(Alright, it's still four updates today. Dear readers, please give me some flowers and tips to encourage my hard work!!)

Chapter 150 The First Expedition Mission

Although Yamato and Taihou's strength has increased dozens of times since acquiring magic, allowing them to easily conquer the 4-1 area, this will inevitably provoke a full-scale attack from the Abyss. At that time, Maizuru of Mikami Hiroyu will have to face the entire Abyss force. Currently, Yamato and Taihou are only at the initial stage of learning magic. While they can contend with the entire Abyss force with their magical abilities, that will only be possible once they have mastered the use of magic.

Alternatively, the fleet could produce a few more ship girls capable of using magic, ideally Nagato, Iowa, or Kaga. Once they have a basic grasp of magic, Mikami Hiroyu could still use the power of Maizuru, a single naval base, to fight against the entire Abyssal fleet.

All of this will take time. Today, Yamato and her team have conquered the 2-4 sea area, which has likely already attracted the attention of the Abyssal Fleet. The Abyssal Fleet will probably send several powerful fleets to Maizuru for revenge!

The current Maizuru faction is still too weak; they've only managed to build a few ship girls. Ideally, these should be high-level and rare ship girls. Mikami Hiroyu has now largely resolved his resource shortage problem. You could say Mikami Hiroyu currently has around 60 resources, and with the rewards from conquering areas 2-4, he could easily have around 80 resources. Yamato and Taihou no longer need to consume resources, and Iowa and the others have also reduced their resource consumption after the Soul Network upgrade.

Yu Shen Haoyu can now proudly declare, "I lack everything except resources." Since resources are plentiful, Yu Shen Haoyu can confidently and boldly build ship girls.

"Nagato's suggestion is very constructive, but for the long-term sake of Maizuru Naval Base, let's focus on improving Maizuru's strength first! Once we have more than six magical ship girls in Maizuru Naval Base, then we can talk about conquering Sea Area 5-1 and becoming a marshal. For now, let's go back to Maizuru!"

Nagato realized he had acted too hastily and said apologetically, "Admiral, please don't take my words to heart. You've become an admiral at the age of 11, which is already a legend that no one can break."

“Nagato, you’ve reminded me,” Mikami Hiroyu suddenly thought of something.

Nagato: "?"

Yu Shen Haoyu said to Xiao and the others, "Xiao, I have an expedition mission that I need to ask of you."

Upon hearing that Yushin Hiroyu had something he wanted them to do, Xiao immediately stepped forward and said, "Admiral, didn't you say we're experts at expeditions? To prove that's true, we'll definitely complete this expedition perfectly, right, Hibiki, Raiden?"

Hibiki: "Khoroshō, no problem."

Ray: "Of course."

Electricity: "Electricity will try its best."

"Alright, tomorrow we'll use Akatsuki as the flagship, leading Hibiki, Ikazuchi, Denki, Yuudachi, and Eugen to form an expeditionary fleet. The destination is the Naval Headquarters. The specific mission is to take my credentials to the Naval Headquarters, find Governor Nagata, and collect the resource rewards for conquering Sea Areas 1-4 and 2-4, as well as my letter of appointment as Rear Admiral. This is a very important expedition mission. Are you confident?"

Xiao patted her flat chest and said confidently, "Admiral, we will definitely complete this expedition. Leave it to us with confidence. I guarantee it with my ladylike reputation!"

"Alright, I'll entrust the first important expedition mission for the Maizuru Garrison to you, Akatsuki," Mikami Hiroyu said with a smile.

"Please rest assured, Admiral, we will definitely complete the mission."

"Okay, I believe you, but let's go back to Wuhe first, it's getting late." Yu Shen Haoyu looked at the crescent moon hanging in the sky, the cold sea breeze reminding him that it was getting late.

"Oh"

After Mikami Hiroyu and his fleet left, the two large craters beneath their feet were slowly covered by the sea. Apart from the two vanished islands, no one knew that something world-changing had happened there. The sea perfectly concealed everything Yamato and her companions had destroyed; only the stars in the sky knew, no, only a pair of adorable little eyes witnessed it—those of Little Northern, who had returned with Kaga.

Kita no Hokusai originally only planned to ask Kaga for a few Reppu units in Maizuru, but upon arriving in Maizuru, she developed a great interest in Mikami Hiroyu. She decided to stay and observe Mikami Hiroyu, whom she felt a connection with, for a few days. However, one night, while Kita no Hokusai was idly counting the stars in the sky, she discovered a scene that surprised her: the human admiral whom Kita no Hokusai felt a connection with was actually flying in the sky with his fleet.

At first, the Northern Princess thought she was just counting stars and her eyes were watering, so she rubbed them with her little hands. But she still saw the human admiral and his ship girl flying in the sky. The Northern Princess was very surprised and curious, but mostly she found it interesting. So the Northern Princess followed Mikami Hiroyu and witnessed firsthand the astonishing destructive power of Yamato and Taihou's attack. Even her sister, the Harbor Princess, didn't possess such destructive power.

Her sister could at most sink the island, but she couldn't make all the seawater within a 4000-meter radius of the island disappear. Little Northern was still just a child, and his attention was quickly drawn to the magical arrows that filled the sky, shot out by the Great Phoenix.

By the time Xiao Beifang realized what was happening, there was no trace of Yu Shen Haoyu and his ship girls in the sky. Without thinking, Xiao Beifang flew directly towards Wuhe.

After Mikami Hiroyu led the fleet back to the skies above Maizuru, he first safely placed the entire fleet on the ground before dispelling the magic of the Little Nozomi card. Mikami Hiroyu said "Thank you for your hard work" to the floating card, which then circled around him twice before flying into the grimoire.

"Alright, it's getting late, everyone go back and get some rest! Oh, and Xiao, you guys need to find Yamato early tomorrow to collect the things you need for this expedition, and set off as soon as possible!"

Since Yamato is currently the secretary ship, Mikami Hiroyu plans to let Yamato gradually take over these matters.

"We understand. Yuudachi, let's go back to the dorm. Let's do our best on tomorrow's expedition!"

"Good evening, Admiral," Dian said politely.

"The same goes for electricity."

After saying goodnight to Mikami Hiroyu one by one, the ship girls of the fleet returned to their dormitories.

Now only Yamato remained standing behind Mikami Hiroyu. Seeing that Yamato was still behind him, Mikami Hiroyu said, "Yamato, you should go and rest too!"

"Admiral, you've forgotten. I'm your secretary ship now, and my resting place is right next to your bedroom," Yamato reminded her shyly.

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have completely forgotten. Yamato, let's go and rest too."

"Good admiral"

The night grew darker.

Chapter 151 The Expeditionary Fleet Sets Sail

Early the next morning, Akatsuki, along with Hibiki and the others, woke up Yuudachi and Eugen, who were still asleep. This was their first expedition mission since arriving at Maizuru Naval Base, and Akatsuki and the others considered it very important. Even more important than when they received the orders from the admiral who had built them. This expedition kept Akatsuki and the others from falling asleep until very late.

Just as Akatsuki finished gathering her expeditionary fleet and brought them to the admiral's office, she found that only the secretary ship Yamato was cleaning the office.

"Good morning, Yamato-senpai!" Akatsuki led the way with a greeting. Hibiki and the others followed behind Akatsuki, each taking turns to greet Yamato with a good morning.

"Good morning to you all. Are you here to collect your admiral's credentials?" Yamato put down what he was doing and said with a smile.

"Yes, Yamato-senpai, no, Yamato-secretary ship, isn't the admiral here?" Akatsuki looked around the admiral's office and asked when she didn't see Mikami Hiroyu.

Yamato: "The Admiral hasn't gotten up yet, after all, it was last night..."

Xiang: "Xiao, it's important."

"Yes, yes, it's important. Yamato, where is the proof the admiral mentioned? Please give it to me so I can begin our naval base's first expedition," Akatsuki said with a serious expression.

Yamato: "Let me look."

Yamato quickly found Mikami Hiroyu's captain's badge. It's estimated that once Akatsuki and the others return from their expedition, this badge will be upgraded to major general's badge!

"Here, this is the Admiral's identification. You need to go to the Naval Headquarters to exchange this for a General's certificate. Oh, and the Admiral also instructed: if you see the Governor-General, tell him that our Naval Headquarters has almost exhausted our resources while conquering areas 1-4 to 2-4." Yamato suddenly remembered what Mikami Hiroyu had told him to do last night.

"But our naval base doesn't have many resources," Dian said, somewhat confused.

"You'll know what to ask the Governor when you see him. It's getting late, you should set off soon!" Yamato couldn't very well say that her Admiral wanted to ask the Governor for more resources! She could only find an excuse to get Akatsuki and the others to leave, after all, protecting her Admiral's reputation was the most basic thing a secretary ship had to do. Although Mikami Hiroyu didn't care about this, Yamato did.
