Fantasy in the world of crossover anime

Although the newly joined ship girls were somewhat surprised to see Harbor and Little North, after Mikami Hiroyu's explanation, they accepted that there would be Abyssal beings in the human naval base. They also deeply agreed with Mikami Hiroyu's dream, and Sheng Cheng was determined to help him complete this grand plan.

A week after Yamato and the others went on their sortie, Mikami Hiroyu called them all back. He also introduced them to the new members who had joined Maizuru after they left. Yamato and the others were very welcoming to the new members who had just joined the naval base, and were particularly curious about Kongou, who had become a magical ship girl so soon after joining. Yuudachi and Nagato were especially happy to see their sister ships among the new ship girls who had joined the naval base. Nagato and Mutsu, and Yuudachi and Shigure, each found a place to chat privately.

Seeing that the gains this time were enormous, Mikami Hiroyu announced that the fleet would be given a two-day leave, after which a new fleet formation and new sortie missions would be launched.

Kongo and the others, who had just joined the naval base, were very outgoing and explored every corner of Maizuru before Yamato and the others even returned. After gaining even greater speed, Shimakaze not only explored the entire Maizuru naval base but also the entire Maizuru sea area several times in a single day.

After Mikami Hiroyu introduced them to the basic situation of Maizuru, Shigure and Mutsu also used their own methods to familiarize themselves with this place that would become their home.

This operation, while yielding great results, left Yamato and the others utterly exhausted. The past few days of operations had left them physically and mentally drained. After Mikami Hiroyu announced a two-day rest, their unified goal was the bathhouse. Although they hadn't been injured outside, they were still incredibly tired. They had long missed the enormous bathhouse in Maizuru.

In the evening, after dinner, Iowa and the others chatted with the newly joined ship girls, strengthening their bonds. Soon after, they all took their leave. Mutsu and the others didn't feel that they were taking advantage of Maizuru's seniority; they were simply tired. They needed a good rest.

Especially Bei Zhai, after taking a bath and having dinner, went straight back to her dormitory and fell asleep immediately.

Bismarck didn't go with Iowa and the others, but followed behind his younger sister. When Bismarck returned to the dormitory and opened the door to North House, there was only a girl who hadn't had time to cover herself with a blanket. Bismarck showed a gentleness he didn't usually display, gently covering North House with the blanket, and then said softly, "Get some rest! You've had a hard time these past few days!"

In the Admiral's office, Mikami Hiroyu was compiling the specific gains from Yamato and the others' sorties over the past few days. At that moment, Yamato, who had already been resting, entered carrying a cup of clear tea.

"Yamato, are you still not resting?" Mikami Hiroyu didn't even look up before recognizing his secretary ship, Yamato.

"Admiral, what are you thinking about?" Yamato placed a cup of tea in front of Mikami Hiroyu and said while organizing the documents in front of him.

"I'm thinking about the next steps for our Maizuru Naval Base. I have two ideas about this. Yamato, after I finish speaking, please give me some advice."

Mikami Hiroyu picked up the cup of tea that Yamato had placed on the table, took a small sip, and then carried the teacup to the large map that had just been hung up in the Admiral's office. This map was somewhat similar to the one at the Naval Base, but Mikami Hiroyu's map was far more detailed. Now, with the help of the World Consciousness, Mikami Hiroyu's relationship with the little fairy was excellent. With the little fairy's help, he had drawn up a map even more detailed than the one at the Naval Base in just one day.

"First, the fleet's current strength is basically acceptable, and we can plan to continue conquering the following sea areas. The current port is Maizuru. We in Maizuru are strong enough to directly conquer the 4-4 sea area, and then we can talk with the Abyssal Fleet about peaceful coexistence. The second plan is to first conquer the 4-1 sea area, and then, just like this time, divide the fleet into several fleets to launch attacks on other sea areas, further expanding Maizuru's strength. What do you think, Yamato?"

After explaining his long-considered plan, Mikami Hiroyu waited for Yamato's advice.

Mikami Hiroyu's first suggestion, while simple and direct, offered the possibility of ending the battle quickly. Then, the ship girls and the Abyssal Fleet would sign a peace treaty, allowing them to realize Mikami Hiroyu's dream of living peacefully and cooperatively in this world. However, this proposal carried immense risk. Maizuru's strength was already considerable; after training several magic ship girls, Maizuru could potentially fight against the entire Abyssal Fleet with the power of a single naval base. But there was also a risk: what if the Abyssal Fleet refused to cooperate and chose to fight to the bitter end?

If things escalate to a point of no return, that's not what Mikami Hiroyu wants to see. If that happens, Mikami Hiroyu will have no choice but to implement an extermination plan against the Abyssal Fleet who are determined to destroy humanity and ship girls.

Although this contradicts the suppression and balance that Gaia and the others have given, it means that only half of the suppression has been completed, and the other half should not be mentioned anymore.

The second plan is a bit more time-consuming. However, it's much better than the first plan. As long as the fleet expands, it can slowly conquer the waters around the deep-sea flagship's garrison one by one. That way, Yushin Haoyu's plan to save the world will be much more secure!

Yu Shenhaoyu pondered these two plans for a long time but still couldn't reach a conclusion!

(Now, I've started a poll. The daily subscriptions are so low I can only afford to eat porridge. Do people not like the world of Kantai Collection? The daily subscriptions are so few, but the number of favorites keeps increasing. Should we quickly end Kantai Collection and move on to the next magical world so the protagonist can show off, or should we stay in the Kantai Collection world and let the protagonist collect a few more cute ship girls? What do you all think? The daily subscriptions are so few, it's making me lose all motivation to write! It takes me so long to write a single chapter!!)

Chapter 188 The Reorganization of the Fleet!

Yamato didn't share Mikami Hiroyu's question; she simply refilled the tea that Mikami Hiroyu had finished drinking and stood behind him. For Yamato, these were the happiest moments. No matter which path Mikami Hiroyu chose, Yamato supported him, supported her admiral.

After much contemplation, Mikami Hiroyu still couldn't decide what path Maizuru should take. Maizuru was no longer just Mikami Hiroyu and a few ship girls. Back then, Mikami Hiroyu could do whatever he wanted with Maizuru, without considering other factors. But now it was different. As Maizuru grew stronger, the number of ship girls in Maizuru's naval base increased, and Maizuru's status in the world grew increasingly important. Now, every move Maizuru made affected the direction of this world. Even if Mikami Hiroyu made a wrong step, this world would disappear, and countless lives would vanish. Perhaps to Mikami Hiroyu, who had just arrived in this world, it was just another world. Even if he made a wrong decision and caused the world's demise, Mikami Hiroyu wouldn't feel much sadness, at most a pang of grief for the world's creatures disappearing because of his mistake.

But things are different now. This world has a home, a group of ship girls who love him, and Governor-General Nobunaga Nagata, who entrusts the future of this world to Mikami Hiroyu. Finally, there's Kanae Yanagisawa, his nominal classmate and best friend, whom Yamato and the others are very wary of. For these people, Mikami Hiroyu has to carefully consider his next plan regarding Maizuru.

"Yamato, go to sleep first! You've been tired these past few days," Mikami Hiroyu said to Yamato, who was guarding behind him, putting the question aside. He still had two days to consider it; there was no need to rush and get an answer tonight.

Yamato simply shook her head, refusing Mikami Hiroyu's suggestion that she go and rest.

"Alright, I'm going to rest too. You can go and rest now, right?" Mikami Hiroyu knew what Yamato was thinking. Although he was very touched, as an admiral, he should let Yamato rest first.

"Admiral, you don't need to worry about me. I'm not tired yet. As long as Yamato is by your side, all the fatigue and worries will disappear."

"Thank you for everything, Yamato." After Yamato said those touching words, Mikami Hiroyu had a lot to say, but when it came to his lips, only this sentence remained.

"I am the admiral's ship girl, and also the secretary ship of this Maizuru Naval Base. This is what I should do." After Yamato said this, her intimacy with Mikami Hiroyu increased by two points, but no one noticed.

----------.

After a good night's rest, the ship girls who had gone on the expedition were all refreshed and looking for Kongo and the others who had joined the naval base after they left Maizuru. However, for some reason, Kongo and the others quickly integrated into the group. Mikami Hiroyu was worried that Kongo's goofy aura might influence Iowa and the others, and that Iowa and the others might also become silly. If that happened, Mikami Hiroyu really didn't know what to do.

However, after a day of observation, Yu Shenhao dismissed his own thoughts on the matter and even mocked himself for being infected by King Kong, for having come up with such a question.

Over the next two days, Yu Shen Haoyu carefully considered his options. He ultimately chose the second option. He couldn't gamble with the future of this world, or with the Deep Sea succumbing to Wu He's power! Yu Shen Haoyu simply couldn't afford to gamble, nor did he dare to!

Yu Shen Haoyu could only choose the second option: wait until Wu He's strength increased further, and then slowly infiltrate the inner workings of the deep-sea flagships! If Yu Shen Haoyu gained the approval of five or six of the deep-sea flagships, then the strength of his Wu He's naval base would be second to none in the world. As for the remaining deep-sea flagships, if they didn't agree to Yu Shen Haoyu's plan, then sorry, this world wouldn't welcome them. From then on, the deep sea would be led by those who agreed with Yu Shen Haoyu's plan!

However, that was only a plan after Maizuru Naval Base was established. Maizuru's next step was to complete the conquest of the 3-1 and 3-4 sea areas under its jurisdiction. As for the 4-1 and 4-4 sea areas, Mikami Hiroyu had no intention of touching them. After all, if the Abyss's bottom line was challenged, the final battle would have to be brought forward. Since Mikami Hiroyu had decided that Maizuru would pursue its second plan, he couldn't afford to provoke the Abyss too much.

During the two days that the ship girls rested, after avoiding the BurningLoooooooooooooove from Kongo, Mikami Hiroyu discussed the reorganization of the fleet at Maizuru Naval Base with Yamato!

Previously, for the sake of simplicity, Mikami Hiroyu had simply divided the fleet into two squads. However, using it now would be a bit inappropriate. Mikami Hiroyu had done a preliminary count, and Maizuru now had a complete range of ship girls, except for submarines and training ships. The battleships included Yamato-class battleships, led by the first ship of the Yamato-class, Iowa-class, and Musashi-class, as well as Nagato-class and Mutsu-class battleships, Bismarck-class, and Tirpitz-class. Oh, and there were also the Kongo Four Sisters: Kongo-class high-speed battleship Kongo, Hiei-class, Haruna-class, and Kirishima-class.

Among aircraft carriers and air carriers, the Taiho is the leader, followed by the regular aircraft carriers Kaga and Akagi.

It seems that Prinz Eugen is the only heavy cruiser ship girl, which shows that Prinz Eugen's position in Maizuru is unshakable.

There are quite a few destroyers. Mikami Hiroyu possesses all of the Akatsuki-class destroyers: Akatsuki, Hibiki, Ikazuchi, and Inazuma. There are two Shiratsuyu-class destroyers—Yuudachi and Shigure, who recently joined the naval base. There is only one Shimakaze-class destroyer in the world—the lead ship, Shimakaze, is also in Maizuru.

There is also a supply ship—Mamiya.

So, there are eleven battleships, three aircraft carriers/aircraft carriers, one heavy cruiser, seven destroyers, and one supply ship. That's a total of twenty-three ship girls, with battleships making up nearly half of the slots. Mikami Hiroyu wondered if Maizuru had a bit too many battleships. Leaving aside heavy cruisers and destroyers, the fact that there were only three aircraft carriers/aircraft carriers seemed a bit off! Mikami Hiroyu wondered if he should build a few more. Maizuru didn't lack battleships, but it lacked aircraft carriers and aircraft carriers; its air power seemed insufficient in battle!

(Please give me some rewards, everyone! I was reading CLANND all day instead of doing my job, which is why I'm only posting this now. I guess there'll be another chapter to go! Probably! Oh, and about yesterday's question, I thought about it for a while. The world of Kantai Collection will be released in about a week, which is around thirty chapters. The next Kantai Collection characters will include the ones everyone's been waiting for!! The fleets will be divided soon!)

Chapter 189 The Fighting Style of the Maizuru Ship Girl!

Now that Yamato and the others have become magical ship girls, they can take down enemies with a single shot when conquering the deep sea, and then there's basically nothing else to do but organize resources.

Even the Harbor Princess, one of the flagships of the Abyss, couldn't withstand a serious shot from Yamato, let alone the heavy cruisers of the Ne-class and light carriers of the Abyss. However, to prevent the fleet from developing abnormally, Mikami Hiroyu still planned to build a few ship girls that were actually aircraft carriers. But Mikami Hiroyu didn't have that plan right now. One must take things one step at a time; if he built them but didn't have time to train them, it would just be a waste.

Now, Mikami Hiroyu is considering a reorganization of the fleet. After discussing with his secretary ship Yamato, he decided that Maizuru's ship girls can be divided into three fleets: a first attack force, a second attack force, and a third attack force. Currently, Maizuru has a total of twenty-three ship girls, excluding the supply ship Mamiya, leaving twenty-two. This allows for three fleets, each with seven members. As for the extra member, Mikami Hiroyu will randomly add her to one of the fleets.

It's the same conference room, but the difference is that, apart from Admiral Hiroyu Mikami, there were only Yamato, Taihou, and Maizuru Naval Base of Iowa at the beginning, but now there are twenty-three ship girls.

Following Yamato's notification, the fleet's ship girls arrived at the conference room early, knowing that the meeting was about the reorganization of the fleet. Before Mikami Hiroyu arrived, Iowa and the others were discussing who they would be paired with in their fleets.

Although Iowa and the others knew that Yamato, as the secretary ship, might know the specific divisions of the fleet, none of them asked. After all, they were ship girls, not students.

When Mikami Hiroyu arrived at the conference room, he found that all his ship girls were already there. After a brief opening remark, Mikami Hiroyu got down to business.

This fleet reorganization was made to take into account the possibility of ship girls joining Maizuru in the future, and the deep sea areas that Maizuru currently faces in 3-1 and 3-4. Mikami Hiroyu considered several factors and thus made this reorganization.

"The first attack force will still be led by Yamato as the flagship, and the fleet members will be the battleship Nagato, the battleship Mutsu, the aircraft carrier Akagi, the destroyer Yuudachi, and the destroyer Shigure. These individuals will form the first attack force, responsible for conquering the 3-1 and 3-4 sea areas of our Maizuru Naval Base. After you have conquered the 3-1 and 3-4 sea areas of our Maizuru Naval Base, I will give you the first attack force. So, are you confident in conquering the 3-1 and 3-4 sea areas of our Maizuru Naval Base?" Mikami Hiroyu asked with a smile after reading out the members of the first attack force and their tasks.

"Admiral, rest assured, our first attack force will complete the mission of conquering the 3-1 and 3-4 sea areas of our Maizuru Naval Base!" Yamato said with great confidence.

Nagato: "Admiral, don't worry, I'll let those Abyssal Fleet know the strength of Maizuru. Don't underestimate the power of the Big Seven!"

作为刚被御神浩宇拿出来放进第一攻击部队的赤城来说，这次战斗仅仅是证明她的存在价值。跟重要的是，御神浩宇把攻略舞鹤的镇守府负责的3-1海域和3-4海域的任务交给，第一攻击部队，这便是对第一攻击部队每一位舰娘的认同。赤城现在都能清楚的感觉到来自除第一攻击部队的舰娘的羡慕的眼神了。在她们看来，哪怕攻略其镇守府负责的3-1海域和3-4海域100个，都不入攻略一个自己提督负责的3-1海域和3-4海域。

Akagi said very seriously to Mikami Hiroyu, "Admiral, please wait patiently at the naval base. We will bring back the good news of victory. Kaga and I will show you the glory of the First Carrier Division!"

As a newcomer to Maizuru, Shigure has significantly increased her power with the help of Mikami Hiroyu's soul network. However, Shigure hasn't yet adjusted to her previous mindset. She had participated in the fleet's conquest plan at the previous naval base, but was mercilessly crushed by the Abyssal Fleet. Not to mention that Mikami Hiroyu is now having her conquer the even more terrifying 3-1 and 3-4 sea areas.

Shigure hesitated for a moment before saying, "Admiral, can I really be in the First Attack Squadron? I'm just a destroyer!"

With a smile, Mikami Hiroyu encouraged him, saying, "Shigure, you must have full confidence in yourself. Believe that you can do it. Remember this: you are now Maizuru's ship girl, and no matter who the Maizuru ship girl is, she is the strongest!"

Encouraged by Mikami Hiroyu, Shigure quickly rallied and confidently declared, "Admiral, I've got it. I'm now a Maizuru ship girl, and Maizuru ship girls are the strongest! Destroyer Shigure, sortie!"

"That's right, the Admiral is right. Once you get to the 3-1 area, you'll see that what the Admiral said is absolutely true! So, let's have a splendid party! poi!" As Shigure's sister ship, Yuudachi also cheered Shigure on.

Seeing Shigure's newfound confidence, Mikami Hiroyu was quite pleased. This was also why he assigned Shigure to the First Attack Squadron; Shigure was currently extremely insecure, and Mikami Hiroyu intended for her to find that confidence during the upcoming campaigns in areas 3-1 and 3-4. As for why Akagi was in the First Attack Squadron, it's simple: Maizuru currently only has three carrier shipgirls, so a simple calculation is: one carrier per fleet. Taihou and Kaga have both brought Mikami Hiroyu considerable honors, so their combat strength is undeniable. As for Akagi, it's best to let her level up in the First Fleet first.

Now that Yamato has broken through level 100, although she hasn't undergone a full upgrade, it's more worthwhile for her to use that time to practice magic usage, as this would result in a greater increase in combat power. Since becoming a magic-wielding ship girl, Yamato practices magic usage whenever she has free time. She can now execute the combat power that Mikami Hiroyu unleashed while controlling her that night with great skill.

It can be said that a single Yamato could make the area under the jurisdiction of the Harbor Princess enter and exit seven times.

The reason why the first and second Nagato-class battleships, Nagato and Mutsu, were both in the First Attack Squadron is quite simple. Nagato, needless to say, aside from a few magical ship girls, is among the top five strongest of the Maizuru ship girls!

The reason Mutsu was placed in the First Attack Squadron was similar to that of Shigure. It was simply to build Mutsu's confidence; a battleship doesn't need that, so Mikami Hiroyu didn't need to worry about her confidence. The reason Mutsu was placed in the First Attack Squadron was to let her learn from Maizuru's combat methods in conquering the Abyss.

(I managed to finish Chapter Two, so please give me some flowers and rewards, everyone!!)

Chapter 190 Flagship Bismarck

Maizuru's current method of conquering the deep sea is vastly different from that of other naval bases. To help Mutsu adapt to Maizuru's lifestyle and deep-sea strategy as quickly as possible, transferring him to the First Attack Squad is a suitable option.

After Yuudachi finished speaking, Mikami Hiroyu continued to announce the members of the Second Attack Squadron.

"The second attack force will also have Taihou as its flagship. The members of the second attack force are similar to the previous ones: the first Kongo-class high-speed battleship, Kongo, and four Akatsuki-class destroyers, Akatsuki, Ikazuchi, and Inazuma. You will form the second attack force. As for your mission, after the first attack force has completed the 3-1 to 3-4 area, you will go to the right neighbor of Maizuru Naval Base. You will then proceed to the area that was previously conquered up to 2-4, and this time you will conquer up to 3-4. How about it? Can you complete this mission?" Mikami Hiroyu temporarily put down the list in his hand and asked each member of the second attack force.

"Admiral... I will lead the Second Attack Force to victory! Admiral. Didn't I tell you we would write a victory together? We can't possibly lose!" Taihou, one of the ship girls created by Mikami Hiroyu and the first ship girl to reach a friendship level of 90 with Mikami Hiroyu, answered very seriously.

After learning that she had been assigned to the Second Fleet, Kongo was a little disappointed that she was not in the same fleet as her sister, but she was still happy to be able to fight for Mikami Hiroyu.

After Taihou finished speaking, Kongou gave Mikami Hiroyu a hug and shouted, "Is it finally my turn to make a move? I'll do my best, and it's NO~ if you don't keep an eye on me! DE-US!" Although Yamato quickly separated them, Mikami Hiroyu could still clearly feel Kongou's happiness.

After being separated from Yamato, Kongo said to his sister, "Hiei, Haruna, Kirishima, let's do our best in different fleets! DE-US"

"Big sister, we'll do our best!" Haruna and Kirishima were a little better, but Hiei was a little less so. However, since it was a meeting room, Hiei didn't show her unhappiness.

As for Akatsuki, Hibiki, Rai, and Den, they all confidently told Mikami Hiroyu, "Admiral, you can rest assured and leave it to us! We are mature ladies now!"

Mikami Hiroyu wasn't worried about the second attack force; in fact, it was arguably the strongest of the three fleets. From the flagship Taihou to the destroyers Akatsuki, Hibiki, Ikazuchi, and Inazuma, every single one of them was a magical ship girl. This luxurious configuration surprised every ship girl present.

"Alright, next is the configuration of the Third Assault Force. As for the flagship of the Third Assault Force, I plan to have Bismarck take on the role. You will be in charge of Bismarck during the Third Fleet period." Mikami Hiroyu had complete confidence in Bismarck, and entrusting the flagship of the Third Fleet to Bismarck was the wisest choice.

"Thank you for your trust, Admiral. I will lead the Third Fleet well and perfectly complete every mission assigned by you. Please rest assured, Admiral, I will not let you down. I will also be active in this sea area to the fullest. Look forward to it! However, after I have perfectly completed the mission, if possible, please praise me a little more." Bismarck spoke with great enthusiasm before, but her voice dropped to a very low hue at the last sentence. If Mikami Hiroyu hadn't been paying close attention, he might not have heard it at all.

However, Yuuyu Mikami never expected that Bismarck, who was usually so serious, would say something like that. This is what's called the "gap moe" (or "unexpected charm"), and while Yuuyu Mikami didn't know if this was true, he was definitely charmed by Bismarck's current demeanor.

"Alright, it's settled then! Now, let's announce the specific divisions of the Third Assault Force. The flagship of the Third Assault Force is the battleship Bismarck, and the members are: the second Bismarck-class battleship—Tirpitz, the second Kongo-class high-speed battleship—Hiei, the third Kongo-class high-speed battleship—Haruna, and the fourth Kongo-class high-speed battleship—Kirishima. The regular aircraft carrier Kaga, and due to personnel constraints, the first Shimakaze-class destroyer—Shimakaze—are also assigned to the Third Assault Force! As for your missions..." Mikami Hiroyu stopped halfway through his sentence, piquing the curiosity of all the Maizuru ship girls.

Based on the previous arrangements for the second attack force, the third attack force should theoretically have a similar mission. However, now that Yu Shenhaoyu is hesitating, it seems that's not the case!

"The mission of the Third Assault Force is to conquer the deep sea in this area!" Instead of assigning the mission of conquering the 3-1 to 3-4 sea areas to the other garrisons, Yu Shenhaoyu changed them to another sea area.

"Admiral, isn't that the area under the jurisdiction of the Deep Sea Flagship Airfield Princess?" Tirpitz asked, extending his hand.

"Yes, this is indeed the sea area under the jurisdiction of the Deep Sea Flagship Airfield Princess, and this is your mission location. Your mission is simple: to conquer all the sea areas up to area 3-1 under the jurisdiction of the Deep Sea Flagship Airfield Princess! This is a huge mission; are you confident in your abilities?"

The third attack force isn't very strong right now, lacking even a single magical ship girl. While it's possible to conquer areas 3-1 to 3-4 with the amplification from Mikami Hiroyu's soul network, it will come at a cost. Currently, the third fleet cannot conquer areas 3-1 to 3-4 without suffering losses.

Mikami Hiroyu simply couldn't bear to send the ship girls into such a battle. Although he knew that in any battle, injuries or other unforeseen circumstances were bound to occur, he didn't want to, and was unwilling to, do it.

So Yu Shenhaoyu came up with a plan: to send them to conquer the sea areas before Sea Area 3-1 in other sea areas. This way, they could grow stronger through battle, and even if they were injured, they wouldn't suffer too much damage.

However, as long as a magical ship girl appears in the third attack force, Yu Shen Haoyu will transfer them to the sea area after 2-4 to fight, after all, the strength of a magical ship girl is obvious to all.

In future fleet formations, whenever a situation similar to the Third Attack Force arises, Mikami Hiroyu will adopt this method. This will greatly reduce the risk while simultaneously enhancing the strength of the ship girls.

"Admiral, the Third Fleet is in perfect condition. Our Third Fleet will definitely conquer all the waters before area 3-1 in that area in the shortest possible time!" Bismarck said confidently.

"By the way, Admiral, when is our Third Fleet setting sail?" Bismarck suddenly thought of this question!

Yu Shenhao thought for a moment and replied...

Chapter 191 The Flight Field Princess's Personal Opinion

As for when the Third Fleet would depart, Mikami Hiroyu didn't keep them in suspense and told them directly.

"Your Third Fleet will depart tomorrow along with the First Fleet. I've already made arrangements with the naval base there; you can proceed directly."

After announcing the division of the fleet, Mikami Hiroyu glanced at his ship girls and said, "Does anyone have any other opinions? If not, the meeting is adjourned."

Iowa and the others all nodded in unison, indicating that they had no objection to Yu Shenhaoyu's arrangements.

"Alright, everyone go and prepare! Tomorrow, Maizuru will officially embark on its journey to the world stage. Does everyone have confidence?"

The ship girls present, led by the secretary ship Yamato, all stood up in unison, indicating their agreement with Mikami Hiroyu's words.

After Iowa and the others left the meeting room, it was empty except for Hiroyu Mikami. Even Yamato, who usually followed Hiroyu Mikami around, wasn't there. At that moment, Hiroyu Mikami suddenly said, "Alright, Yamato and the others have left. Aren't you coming out, Harbor?"

After Yu Shenhao finished speaking, Minato Himewan, one of the deep-sea flagships that had joined the Maizuru Naval Base, slowly walked out of the conference room.

"Are you still worried about the deep sea in your own territory?" Mikami Hiroyu asked Harbor Princess, who was hesitant, after she came out.

“It’s not that I don’t care about them, I’m just worried,” Harbor Princess said haltingly.

What are you worried about?

"I worry that once your plan is realized and the power of humans and ship girls is equal, will the Abyssal Fleet and humans truly be able to coexist peacefully in this world?"

"Don't worry about that. The strength of humans, ship girls, and the Abyssal Fleet isn't truly equal right now. How so? Simply put, if humans want revenge against the Abyssal Fleet, or if they want to completely annihilate them, then the balance of power will shift. At that point, the Abyssal Fleet will become stronger, and humanity's strength will be weakened. But if the Abyssal Fleet wants to wage war again, then humanity's strength will increase, and the Abyssal Fleet's strength will decrease." Mikami Hiroyu gave Harbor Princess a very vague answer.

"Why do you say that?" Harbor Princess couldn't quite understand what Mikami Hiroyu was saying.

"It's simple, are humans stronger or are you deep-sea creatures stronger right now?"

"If we don't count your Maizuru, the power of the Abyss is absolute!" Harbor said with great pride when mentioning this point. If it weren't for the dark horse Mikami Hiroyu among humans, humans and ship girls would still be firmly suppressed by the Abyss for at least 300 years.

"Now that you know what I just said, do you understand?" Mikami Hiroyu ignored Harbor Princess's slight pride and continued.
