However, after completing the conquest of areas 2-4 within the territory under Harbor Princess's jurisdiction, Mikami Hiroyu recalled both conquest squads to Maizuru. While the humans were somewhat surprised by Nozomi's actions, they could understand Mikami Hiroyu's decision. Both conquest squads had already achieved considerable success; even high-ranking ship girls would be exhausted by now!

After Yamato and Taihou returned with their two fleets, Mikami Hiroyu discovered that their sortie had yielded considerable results. The sortie lasted a week, conquering 100 Abyssal Seas of 2-4 level. Many of these seas had regained their blue skies and white clouds, and some people had even gone out to sea to fish. Yamato and her fleet amassed nearly 2 million resources in those 100 Abyssal Seas. More importantly, their levels increased significantly in just one week. Yamato and Taihou, as the flagships, gained the most experience, both reaching level 100. Other fleets that reached level 100 included Iowa, Nagato Akatsuki, Hibiki, Rai, Den, and Yuudachi. Even Bismarck, who was recently built, reached level 4. Currently, the lowest-level fleet in Maizuru Naval Base seems to be Akagi, which Mikami Hiroyu had been keeping under wraps.

Since its creation, Akagi has basically never gone to sea, spending most of her time playing with Koga. Therefore, her level is still in its original state, level 0. After Yamato and the others returned from their sortie, Akagi looked at Mikami Hiroyu with extremely resentful eyes. Mikami Hiroyu found it hard to accept, and finally, under Akagi's extremely resentful gaze, he said, "Alright, I'll assign you to the Second Fleet. I'll take you on the next sortie."

Akagi was overjoyed that Mikami Hiroyu had finally allowed her to attack. Just as Akagi was about to express her current feelings by using a biological weapon to attack Mikami Hiroyu when Iowa was happy, she discovered that Mikami Hiroyu had already disappeared, which made Akagi a little disappointed.

Although Akagi was disappointed that he was assigned to the Second Attack Squadron by Mikami Hiroyu and couldn't be in the same fleet as Kaga, he was still very happy to be able to go to sea.

After seeing that Mikami Hiroyu had run away, Akagi immediately contacted Kaga through the soul network and informed her friend right away.

Even from a distance, Mikami Hiroyu could sense Akagi's happiness. He hadn't expected that simply sending Akagi into battle would make her so pleased. He was momentarily speechless; it seemed his understanding of ship girls was still insufficient!

Previously, due to concerns about resource consumption, Akagi wasn't deployed unless the resource depletion became alarmingly high. However, in just one week, Akagi's relationship with Mikami Hiroyu has improved, resource consumption has decreased, and most importantly, the Yamato and Taihou fleets have returned with 30 million units of resources. Even raiding wouldn't yield that many resources!

Right now, Mikami Hiroyu's Maizuru Naval Base is arguably the most resource-rich naval base in the world. Even with the astonishing consumption of ship girls, Mikami Hiroyu can still afford to support them.

Harbor Princess, who had been defeated by Maizuru a week earlier, awoke on the third day after Yamato and the others launched their attack. The first thing Harbor Princess did upon waking was to see Kita. After finding Kita, she seemed to relax and said, "You scared me to death, big sister!"

Afterwards, Mikami Hiroyu and Harbor Princess talked for a long time and said many things. In the end, faced with Mikami Hiroyu's profound reasoning, Harbor Princess agreed to Mikami Hiroyu's conditions and joined the Maizuru Naval Base. However, Harbor Princess joined the Maizuru Naval Base in her personal capacity, not as the chief flagship responsible for commanding the deep sea.

Mikami Hiroyu had anticipated Harbor Princess's request, so he readily agreed to her conditions.

Then, amidst the curious and surprised gazes of Harbor Princess, Yu Shen Hao Yu signed a contract with her. From that moment on, the world lost Harbor Princess, a high-ranking individual among deep-sea ships bearing the names of Oni, Princess, War Oni, and War Princess, and possessing abilities far exceeding those of ordinary deep-sea ships. The land-based deep-sea forces also lost a leader. Maizuru gained a beautiful older sister—no, two beautiful sisters.

Like Little Northern, Harbor Princess, who signed a contract with Mikami Hiroyu, had all her deep-sea resentment vanish. In exchange for that resentment, Harbor Princess felt a very comfortable and powerful aura. After signing the contract with Mikami Hiroyu, Harbor Princess finally understood why she had been so easily defeated by those destroyers before.

It wasn't that our army was weak, but rather that the enemy had a cheat code. They possessed the amplitude of the soul network of the Divine Vast Universe, and the powerful alterations granted by that force called magic. Harbor Princess felt it was nothing short of a miracle that she had been able to endure such power for so long.

If Heaven were to give Harbor Princess another chance, she would definitely say, "Admiral, count me in!"

Dear readers, please give me some flowers, rewards, favorites, or monthly tickets.

Chapter 184 The Admiral's Nourishment

After signing a contract with Mikami Hiroyu, Harbor Princess finally understood all her previous questions. All the "whys," all the questions, all came to light after she signed the contract with Mikami Hiroyu and became another Abyssal Fleet member of Mikami Hiroyu's Maizuru Garrison.

It's not that the ship girls are so strong that the Harbor Princess can't understand them, but rather that their admirals are just too overpowered.

However, Harbor Princess has now signed a contract with Mikami Hiroyu, and with the help of Mikami Hiroyu's soul network, her strength has increased rapidly. It's fair to say that Harbor Princess can now single-handedly take on an entire sea-based deep sea. This is the terrifying boost from Mikami Hiroyu's soul network. As for possessing magical power, Harbor Princess hasn't even considered it. Right now, Harbor Princess only wants to live with Kohoku in Maizuru and doesn't really want to manage the affairs of the deep sea anymore.

Harbor Princess underwent transformation through Mikami Hiroyu's soul network, becoming similar to Little Northern. She no longer possessed any deep-sea resentment, and her long horns were gone. Her body was similar to that of a human and a ship girl, and her standard deep-sea pointed fingers and teeth were also similar to those of a human.

It could be said that Harbor Princess was a great beauty among humans, resembling a gentle and charming woman from Jiangnan in a previous world to Mikami Hiroyu. However, Mikami Hiroyu dared not look at her too much, given the presence of Akagi in the naval base.

Akagi and Iowa share the same hobby: admiral enthusiasts. It's fine if they're ship girls from the same fleet, since they're part of the family, but Yamato and Iowa are always very strict about ship girls from other naval bases. They're determined to prevent any infidelity. Although Harbor Princess has now joined Maizuru Naval Base, that changes her past status as an Abyssal. They're easygoing about other topics, whether it's peaceful coexistence or mutual assistance, but once admiral Mikami Hiroyu is involved, there's no room for argument; a fight will ensue first.

After being modified by Mikami Hiroyu's soul network, Harbor Princess possesses astonishing feminine power, radiating a Yamato Nadeshiko aura even stronger than that of Yamato. However, due to Akagi's strict supervision, Mikami Hiroyu has not yet had any private conversations with Harbor Princess.

The day after Harbor Princess joined Maizuru, Nagato's sister ship Mutsu arrived in Maizuru.

Mutsu's first words to Mikami Hiroyu were: "Um, is the first Nagato-class battleship—'Nagato'—in this naval base?"

Mikami Hiroyu nodded first, then, seeing that this battleship looked similar to Nagato and had come for Nagato, Mikami Hiroyu guessed that it was Nagato's sister or something. Sure enough, Mutsu's next words confirmed Mikami Hiroyu's guess.

Seeing Mikami Hiroyu nod, Mutsu curtsied and said, "I am Mutsu, the second ship of the Nagato-class battleships. I wish to join the Maizuru Naval Base. Mutsu, the second ship of the Nagato-class battleships. Please take care of me. Please don't play with fire too much. Is that alright?"

Mikami Hiroyu didn't know how long Mutsu had been searching for Nagato, but he sensed that Mutsu, Nagato's sister ship, was probably not easy to deal with. However, although the naval base wasn't short of combat power at the moment, Mikami Hiroyu still welcomed any ship girls who voluntarily joined the base.

"As the admiral of Maizuru Naval Base, I welcome you to join us," Mikami Hiroyu said to Mutsu with a smile.

Mutsu, in her long search for Nagato, gradually forgot why she was searching for him in the first place. She simply saw finding Nagato as something she had to accomplish. As for why she wanted to find Nagato in the first place, Mutsu had forgotten. However, after seeing Mikami Hiroyu's smile, Mutsu seemed to understand why she had been searching for Nagato so relentlessly: it was to find Nagato and then join Mikami Hiroyu's naval base. It could be said that everything behind this was an arrangement of the world's consciousness.

Subsequently, Mutsu and Mikami Hiroyu signed a ship girl contract, and Mutsu felt the amplification brought to her by Mikami Hiroyu's soul network. She seemed to understand a little why the humans outside were talking about the terrifying achievements of the Maizuru Naval Base. However, from now on, these people would also mention Mutsu, the second Nagato-class battleship of the Maizuru Naval Base.

However, the next day, Mikami Hiroyu seemed to be in a bit of trouble. A ship girl dressed as a Japanese shrine maiden arrived in Maizuru. With Akagi's help, the Kongo Four Sisters found Mikami Hiroyu, who was introducing Maizuru to Mutsu, who had just joined the naval base.

Kongou, displaying her naturally crazy nature, yelled at Mikami Hiroyu from afar: "Admiral BurningLoooooooooooooove!!" Luckily, Mikami Hiroyu used the Little Nozomi card in the nick of time; otherwise, he'd probably be lying in the infirmary right now.

After giving Misami Hiroyu a long-distance hug, King Kong hugged him tightly and sniffed his scent.

Yu Shen Haoyu stared blankly at Jin Gang, completely unaware of what had just happened.

Hiei looked on with envy at Mikami Hiroyu, who was being held tightly in Kongou's arms, while Kirishima adjusted her glasses. She was carefully observing Mikami Hiroyu, who gave her such a good feeling.

At this moment, Haruna, the little angel among the Kongo Four Sisters, said apologetically to Mikami Hiroyu, "Admiral, I'm sorry, my sister was just too excited to see you, that's why she's like this. The original sister wasn't like this!"

In the following time, through his conversation with Haruna, Mikami Hiroyu finally understood why this situation had occurred.

However, Mikami Hiroyu had no objection to the addition of the four Kong sisters.

While sniffing Mikami Hiroyu, Kongou heard him agree to let them join the Maizuru Naval Base and excitedly exclaimed, "I knew it! The Admiral would definitely let us join Maizuru DE-SU!"

“Big sister is right,” Hiei and Kirishima agreed.

Looking at Kongo, Hiei, and Kirishima, Mikami Hiroyu felt that among the four sisters, only Haruna, who was gentle and cute to him, seemed to be more normal. Kongo, Hiei, and Kirishima always seemed to exude an extremely strong aura of idiocy.

"Oh right, I still don't know your names!" Yu Shen Haoyu realized that he didn't seem to know any specific information about the four sisters!

"How rude of me! I am Kongo-class high-speed battleship, lead ship—'Kongo,' a returned daughter of Ying! Nice to meet you, Kongo!" Kongo introduced herself with great elegance, but this elegance didn't last long; she quickly reverted to her original state, tightly embracing Mikami Hiroyu—in Kongo's words, to replenish the Admiral's nourishment!

Chapter 185 This ship girl is a bit clumsy!

Looking at the ship girl who had thrown herself at him, saying she was replenishing the so-called "admiral's nourishment" she hadn't received in recent years, Yu Shenhao felt that Maizuru had gained a powerful ship girl in every sense of the word. He figured Maizuru's days ahead wouldn't be peaceful anymore.

After Kongo, the eldest of the four Kongo sisters, introduced herself, it was Hiei's turn to introduce herself.

"I am Hiei, the second ship of the Kongo-class high-speed battleship. I am Hiei, the younger sister of Kongo. I want to gain experience and gradually get closer to my sister. I hope you will take good care of me in the future, Admiral." Although Hiei envied Mikami Hiroyu, who was being pounced on by Kongo, Hiei had a very good feeling about Mikami Hiroyu. The little bit of dissatisfaction in her heart disappeared.

After Hiei's introduction, Haruna, the third of the Kongo-class four sisters whom Mikami Hiroyu felt was the best, bowed to Mikami Hiroyu before introducing herself. Then, in a very cute tone, she said, "I am Haruna, the third ship of the Kongo-class high-speed battleship. Nice to meet you, Admiral."

The last one, Kirishima, who shared the same glasses as Musashi, tidied up her clothes and, finding nothing seriously wrong, introduced herself to Mikami Hiroyu: "Is the microphone volume okay...? Check, 1, 2... Excellent! Nice to meet you, I'm Kirishima. I'm the fourth ship of the Kongo-class high-speed battleship—'Kirishima.' I'll do my best to be known as the fleet's strategist!"

After hearing the four Kongo sisters' self-introductions, Mikami Hiroyu roughly learned about them, but he still welcomed their arrival. However, now that Maizuru Naval Base had gained fame, he estimated that more ship girls would join Maizuru in the future. Mikami Hiroyu had foreseen this outcome when Yamato and the others launched their sortie.

However, to become the world's number one naval base, surpassing even the main naval base, the current ship girls in the first and second attack squadrons are far from enough. To surpass the main naval base, Maizuru needs many more ship girls, regardless of their type.

After the four Kongo sisters introduced themselves, Mikami Hiroyu signed a ship girl contract with them. Similar to the ship girls who had signed contracts with Mikami Hiroyu before, however, Kongo's body immediately emanated magical power after signing the contract, startling Mikami Hiroyu.

The King Kong's body can emanate magical power, meaning that King Kong's affinity with Yu Shen Haoyu, after signing a contract with him, directly reached over 90 points. To confirm this, Yu Shen Haoyu checked the soul network and found that King Kong's affinity with him was 95 points.

A ship girl who just signed a contract with Yuujin Hiroyu already has an affinity level of 95. What does that even mean? Yuujin Hiroyu also checked the affinity levels of the other three of the four sisters towards him. Hiei's was 80 points, a perfectly normal value. However, Haruna's affinity level surprised him greatly; it was 89 points, and it seemed poised to break through to 90 at any moment. Kirishima, one of the Kongo sisters, had an affinity level of 85 points towards Yuujin Hiroyu, which was also a fairly normal value overall.

Mikami Hiroyu was surprised that the Kongo sisters, Kongo and Haruna, were so close to him on their first meeting. However, now wasn't the time to dwell on that; after signing the contract with Mikami Hiroyu, Kongo had developed magical power within her body. This puzzled Kongo greatly.

"Admiral, I feel a mysterious power coursing through my body."

"What? Mysterious power appeared on Big Sister?" Hiei and Kirishima asked Kongou after hearing his words.

"Don't be afraid, that's magic..." Next, Mikami Hiroyu explained the source of the magic and how it would greatly enhance the ship girls.

"In other words, as long as the intimacy level with the admiral reaches 90 points, you can become a magical ship girl, and then the ship girl's combat power will increase rapidly." After Mikami Hiroyu finished explaining, Kongo and Hiei still seemed confused, but Kirishima, who claimed to be the brains of the fleet, seemed to understand a little.

Only now did Mikami Hiroyu dare to be sure that among the four Kongo sisters, apart from Haruna who was normal, the other three were all a bit silly, or rather, a bit clumsy!

However, Kirishima was at least able to understand what Mikami Hiroyu said, which made Daisuke breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that they could still understand what he was saying.

Kongo and Hiei, who had been looking completely bewildered, finally understood after Kirishima's explanation. As the eldest of the four sisters, Kongo hugged Kirishima happily and said, "Truly worthy of being my sister DE-US!"

Hiei looked at Kirishima, who was being held by Kongo, and said enviously, "That's so nice, I want to be held too!"

Both Mikami Hiroyu and Mutsu, who witnessed the whole thing, broke out in a cold sweat.

Yu Shenhao couldn't imagine what Maihe would look like afterward, but he was sure it wouldn't be boring.

"Alright, since everything's fine now, I'll let you witness firsthand what a magical ship girl really is!" Mikami Hiroyu said, rubbing his head. Mikami Hiroyu felt a slight headache; yes, a slight headache indeed.

The four Kongo sisters, while understanding what Yuuji had said about "magical ship girls"—which, according to him, could greatly enhance a ship girl's abilities—remained somewhat skeptical until they witnessed it firsthand. Yuuji's soul network had already provided them with unbelievable boosts; could another massive enhancement truly be possible? While most of the four Kongo sisters were a bit slow, they were definitely not stupid!

Hiroyuki Mikami didn't explain further, because after explaining twice, he found that only Haruna seemed to understand a little; the other three looked completely bewildered, clearly not grasping what he meant. Mikami decided to show them himself; after all, seeing is believing, isn't it?

Just as Mikami Hiroyu brought the four Kongo sisters and Mutsu to the sea area where the Harbor Princess fought, Mikami Hiroyu had just said to Kongo: Kongo, I'm going to take control of your body in a moment.

A tiny figure rapidly approached Wuhe, and this tiny figure grew larger and larger. In a short time, this tiny figure appeared before Yushin Haoyu.

A destroyer with rabbit ears on its head, hopping around in front of Yushin Hiroyu, always revealing its panties while hopping, with gray hair and red and white striped over-the-knee socks, appeared in front of Yushin Hiroyu. What Yushin Hiroyu didn't understand was what the three magical creatures behind this destroyer, hopping around with it, were!

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

Chapter 186 Shigure

However, now was not the time to ponder such matters. After surveying the area, the destroyer locked its gaze on Mikami Hiroyu and approached him directly, saying, "Admiral, I am the lead ship of the Shimakaze-class destroyer—'Shimakaze.' In terms of speed, I'm second to none. Swift as the Shimakaze, de-su! No one can catch me!"

Hiroyuki Mikami agreed with Shimakaze's assessment of being the fastest, having just witnessed it firsthand. Shimakaze's speed was indeed impressive; while he had seen many ship girls, none could surpass her speed.

However, just as Mikami Hiroyu was about to answer Shimakaze, another destroyer, Shigure, appeared in his line of sight. But why did this destroyer seem so exhausted to Mikami Hiroyu?

"Shigure, you're too slow!" Seeing that Shigure, who had come with him, was still far away, Shimakaze immediately disappeared in front of Mikami Hiroyu. A short while later, Shimakaze appeared in front of Mikami Hiroyu with Shigure.

"Admiral, this is Shigure. We're all going to join Maizuru," Shimakaze said, pointing to Shigure who was panting heavily.

After waiting a while, Shigure recovered and bowed to Mikami Hiroyu, saying in an ethereal tone, "I am Shigure, the second ship of the Shiratsuyu-class destroyer, and I wish to join the Maizuru Naval Base!"

Yu Shen Haoyu was somewhat dumbfounded. What had happened in the past two days? So many ship girls wanted to join Maizuru. Counting those who had just mentioned wanting to join the Maizuru Naval Base, Hajime Kaze and Shigure, that meant seven ship girls had joined Maizuru within two days.

Was Yamato and her team's operation really that impactful? Judging from their reported results, it seems the impact of such a feat shouldn't be underestimated!

However, Maizuru has no shortage of ship girls, except for destroyers. When asked about the Maizuru destroyers Shimakaze and Shigure who came from afar to join, Mikami Hiroyu agreed to their joining without hesitation.

After Mikami Hiroyu agreed to let them join, Shimakaze happily grabbed Shigure's hand and said, "Shigure, I told you so! The Admiral will let us join Maizuru. You were so worried on the way!"

Shigure hadn't expected that Mikami Hiroyu would let them join Maizuru without the slightest hesitation. This made Shigure worry the whole way that the admiral of Maizuru's naval base would look down on her because she was a destroyer and wouldn't let her join the naval base. What should she do then?

"Shigure, don't overthink it. Once you join Maizuru, Maizuru will be your home. I remember you and Yuudachi are sister ships, right?"

Shigure nodded vigorously and said, "We are both Shiratsuyu-class destroyers. Yuudachi is the fourth ship of the Shiratsuyu-class, and I am the second ship of the Shiratsuyu-class."

"So, in that case, you're Yuudachi's older sister. I'll be relying on you from now on."

Shigure gave Mikami Hiroyu a very good impression. "Shigure" in Japanese means "a light drizzle that falls occasionally between late autumn and early winter," a very poetic name. Shigure is as beautiful as she is; her endearing appearance and subtly mature demeanor made Mikami Hiroyu feel very good about her.

"No, no, it's me who troubled Yuudachi!"

"Alright, now regardless of who's bothering whom, you all need to sign the ship girl contract with me first. I'll let you see some of your stuff later."

"Yes, Admiral," Shimakaze stopped jumping back and forth between Mikami Hiroyu and stood in front of him.

Shigure: "Thank you for your help, Admiral."

Mikami Hiroyu smiled and said, "No need to say that. Please take care of me from now on! Shigure, Shimakaze!"

Just then, Mikami Hiroyu and Shigure completed their contracts with Shimakaze. After signing the contract with Mikami Hiroyu, Shimakaze wanted to run a couple of laps to celebrate, but as soon as she exerted her strength, she found it difficult to control her speed—it was simply too fast. If the previous Shimakaze was like a split arrow, then the current Shimakaze was like a bolt of lightning; her speed was simply too incredible.

However, Shimakaze adapted very quickly and soon mastered the speed she now possessed.

"Admiral, your soul network is really strong! Shimakaze is so fast now!" After controlling her current speed, Shimakaze went back and forth on the sea several times before returning to Maizuru at the summons of Mikami Hiroyu.

"Shimakaze is right, Admiral, your soul network is really strong!" Shigure felt the changes in his body and agreed with what Shimakaze said.

"Alright, now's not the time to discuss this. Let me show you something first! By the way, you should be mentally prepared!" Yu Shen Haoyu gave them a heads-up.

"King Kong, relax your body now,"

"Yes, Admiral, DE-US," Kongou added after saying that, leaving Mikami Hiroyu speechless: "Admiral, how should I relax my body!"

Yu Shenhaoyu said with a wry smile, "Just don't think about anything!"

"I see, I understand now, DE-US"

However, after waiting for nearly five minutes, Mikami Hiroyu saw that Kongo still hadn't relaxed. He had no choice but to resort to forcibly controlling her body. He estimated that it might take until dark to get Kongo to relax, because her mind was racing. For example, what would the Admiral do after she relaxed? And if the Admiral did something, should she accept it? Or should she accept it?

But Kongo suddenly found that he could not control his body, and the admiral seemed to be inside his body.

"Admiral, how did you get into DE-US's body?"

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Just remember how your body feels right now!" Yu Shen Haoyu really didn't want to answer this question. If he did, even more questions would follow. So, Yu Shen Haoyu chose to ignore it and get straight to the point.

King Kong originally wanted to ask some questions, but the mysterious and powerful force emanating from his body forced him to take it seriously. Yu Shen Haoyu explained the key points to King Kong, afraid he wouldn't understand. However, Yu Shen Haoyu discovered that King Kong's comprehension was quite good, and he quickly grasped what Yu Shen Haoyu was saying.

Outside, Shimakaze, Shigure, Mutsu, and Kongo's other sisters all felt an immense power emanating from Kongo after Mikami Hiroyu took control of her body. Kongo had become so powerful that even Hiei, Haruna, and Kirishima dared not acknowledge her as their elder sister; this power caused their ship rigging to tremble slightly!

Harbor Princess, who was playing with Little Northern, sensed that very familiar power and muttered to herself, "Another monster has appeared in Maizuru!"

Chapter 187 Two Plans

Yes, Maizuru's strength is truly not to be underestimated now. The number of her magical ship girls is almost in the double digits. This is a significant figure, and Mikami Hiroyu certainly knows it. Afterwards, Mikami Hiroyu demonstrated an attack on Kongo, and the effect was quite good. At least for a while afterward, Kongo didn't bother Mikami Hiroyu anymore.

Having gained new power, Kongou became instantly interested in such immense strength. While Kongou was somewhat naive, he possessed a natural talent for it, and given his close relationship with Yushin Hiroyu, he was able to use magic within just a few days.

However, afterwards, Yuu felt that teaching Kong to use magic seemed like a self-inflicted wound. If Yuu could previously dodge Kong's remote embrace of BurningLoooooooooooooooove, then after teaching Kong to use magic, Yuu found that he couldn't seem to avoid Kong's BurningLoooooooooooooooove anymore!
