The story of the black silk female knight

Azure 2 wasn't about to stand by and watch Valensa escape. She gritted her teeth, and a ruthless glint finally appeared in her eyes.

"Fire!"

Bang bang bang!

The ship-mounted cannons hovering around the girl fired bursts of fire, engulfing Valensa and the ship girls protecting her.

"fight back!"

The ship girls protecting Valenza were not to be outdone. While using their bodies to shield Valenza, they also launched attacks with their ship equipment.

In this situation, retreating quickly under the cover of friendly ship girls is undoubtedly the right choice.

But Valensa did not do that.

"Don't hit them!"

She suddenly broke free from Crimson 1's grasp, yelled, and jumped directly into the center of the battlefield, using her last strength to intercept all the shells fired by both sides' ship rigs.

Boom boom boom!

Flames filled the access compartment of the underwater base, but the ship girls from both sides stopped firing simultaneously and stared intently at the center of the explosion.

When a ship girl is in human form, the power of her ship equipment will be reduced accordingly, and the power of her artillery fire will be at most similar to that of a man-portable rocket.

However, Valensa, whose power was restrained and who was stripped of all weapons and equipment, was clearly not as strong as when she was fully armed. She was still blown up and covered in blood, her black bodysuit covered in blood.

She fell, but not to the ground; instead, she fell into the arms of a ship girl.

It was Azure 2, the very same Azure that had previously wanted to kill her.

Chapter 64 Ship Girls are so much fun, I'm forgetting about home!

Azure No. 2 is a ship girl with a slender figure, a refined temperament, and long, light blue hair.

Before becoming a ship girl, she was a high-level fog demon without a name, but she had a name when she was infiltrating human society—Ava.

It was she who brought the ship girl information back to the base, uploaded it to the base's system, and shared it with the other sisters.

Azur Lane 2's original intention was simply to give the sisters the power of ship girls, but unexpectedly, the sisters suddenly all turned into ship girls and even recognized their mortal enemy as their commander.

Even Azur Lane 2 herself, her memories as a ship girl are exceptionally vivid. When she closes her eyes, all she sees is that brown-haired, blue-eyed female commander. When she sees her, her legs go weak, and she wants to get close to her without hesitation, temporarily forgetting everything and only pursuing ultimate pleasure.

The sisters' performance was even worse.

This terrified Azur Lane 2... She wished she had truly been a ship girl, but she was even more afraid that it was all a scheme by Duchess Sunflower, who had personally pushed all her sisters into the abyss, turning them all into playthings of the enemy.

Azure 2 felt she had to do something... at least she couldn't just wallow in the memories of the awakened ship girl, let go of her hostility towards Duchess Sunflower, and enjoy her comfort.

At least... at least we need to prove that those ship girls' memories are real.

She honestly shared her thoughts with her sisters and received their unanimous support.

They need to verify the authenticity of the ship girls' memories and the authenticity of Valensa's identity.

The plan is divided into two steps.

The first step was to have Crimson One, the best actor among all the high-ranking fog demons, secretly infiltrate the human kingdom and contact Valensa to verify whether Valensa truly had the ability to soothe their souls.

If not, then Crimson One will try to escape back and pretend that nothing happened.

If Crimson One's soul has truly been appeased, she will try to bring Valensa back to carry out the second step of the verification plan.

First, send half of the sisters to Valensa to seek comfort and exhaust her strength, trying to wear her down until she faints.

After Valensa lost consciousness, all of her armor and weapons were removed, her hands and feet were bound with alloy chains, and a restraint device specifically designed to deal with powerful cultivators was implanted in her back.

Then they secretly observed.

If Valensa awakens and somehow manages to escape and break out, then regardless of the truth, all the high-level fog demons who have been transformed into ship girls will fight her to the death.

If Valensa does not force her way out after waking up, Crimson 1 will lead a small number of ship girls to rescue her, while Azur Lane 2 will lead the majority of ship girls to pursue and intercept her.

In this situation, according to Azure 2's expectations, there are only three possible scenarios.

The first scenario is that Valensa agrees to Crimson 1's proposal, allowing Crimson 1 to escape first, leaving the other ship girls to fight amongst themselves here.

The second possibility is that Valensa's weakness was all an act; she suddenly unleashed a powerful burst of strength to join the battle and help Crimson One and her team eliminate the 'traitors'.

Both of these scenarios strongly suggest that the 'ship girl memories' are a trap, and that Valensa never truly valued them, only wanting to make them harmless to humans.

Because a true commander would never allow their ship girls to kill each other, much less harm them with their own hands... even if the ship girls betrayed them.

So when that time comes, Crimson One and the others, who were pretending to be on Valensa's side, will suddenly turn against her and launch a fatal sneak attack.

The third scenario is what most ship girls genuinely hope for, and it's the best outcome for both sides.

Valensa still demonstrated formidable fighting prowess, but instead of eliminating the traitors, she forgave them after stopping the fighting.

This shows that Commander Valensa still cares about the ship girls, and the high-level fog demons will completely accept their ship girl identity and will only obey the commander's orders and fight for the commander from now on.

However, the reality is still outside of these three anticipated scenarios.

Valensa did indeed prevent the ship girls from fighting each other in the best-case scenario, but not by force, but by risking her life with her weakened body.

She prevented any of the ship girls from being hit by the shells fired from the ship's equipment, but she herself was blasted by the shells and was covered in wounds and blood.

The moment Azur Lane saw Valensa fall, covered in blood, all doubts vanished from her mind, leaving only the image of the commander in her thoughts.

She instinctively rushed out, caught Valensa's collapsing body, and asked through tears:

"why?"

Valensa seemed too weak to speak, but she managed to raise one hand and touch Azure 2's face and her long, light blue hair. She gently moved the corners of her mouth before fainting.

Silence is better than sound.

All the ship girls present looked extremely ashamed, and many of them broke down in tears, crying and shouting "Commander, I'm sorry."

"What are you all standing there for? Quickly remove the restraints from the Commander!"

At the critical moment, Crimson No. 1 reacted the fastest and rushed over, saying:

"The commander is a very powerful priest. He was injured by our ship's shells only because his energy was restricted by the restraints. So as long as the restraints are removed quickly, these injuries will be automatically healed by the holy light within the commander."

"Oh oh oh..."

The other ship girls then realized what was happening, and three more ship girls immediately surrounded Valensa, joining Azur Lane 2 and Crimson 1 in removing the restraints.

……

Valensa wasn't actually stunned by the shells; she was mostly faking it.

However, to avoid revealing any flaws, she deliberately fainted after confirming that the ship girls no longer suspected her.

When Valensa woke up again, she found herself back in that warm and comfortable room, the same room where she had comforted the ship girls.

Her tattered black stockings had been replaced with new ones, and her body had been washed.

The metal centipede-shaped restraint on his back was gone, his internal energy was flowing smoothly, and all his wounds had healed under the power of holy light.

The weapons and equipment that had been taken away were all neatly placed by the bed, and in addition to those weapons and equipment, two ship girls were kneeling by the bed.

It's Azure 2 and Crimson 1.

They were all kneeling on the ground with their hands cuffed behind their backs, wearing nothing but red and blue pantyhose, which Valensa liked.

"I'm sorry, Commander!" x2

Seeing that Valensa had finally woken up, Crimson 1 and Azure 2 apologized in unison with great shame. Then, before Valensa could ask any questions, they revealed their previous probing plan.

"That's it, Commander. I'm so sorry I lied to you before."

While apologizing, Crimson Number 1 pressed his head to the floor with his butt sticking out high.

"I'm so sorry I couldn't trust the Commander before, and I even caused you to get hurt. I'm so sorry!"

Azure 2 followed suit and made the same gesture:

"Please punish us severely, Commander, or we will die of shame."

"...Even if you want to be severely punished, I simply can't bring myself to do it."

Valensa remained silent for a few seconds before pulling Azure 2 and Crimson 1 up from the ground and holding them in her arms, one on each side.

"Actually, I can understand your suspicions, after all, it is indeed very strange... Before Crimson One came to me, I was still racking my brains about how to find and kill you... It wasn't until I comforted you and became one with you that I was convinced that we did have some kind of bond before, and I became unable to bring myself to harm you, and I didn't even want to see you get hurt."

"Commander?~~" x2

Upon hearing this, Crimson No. 1 and Azure No. 2 felt even more ashamed and moved even more.

...Finally, it's all done.

Feeling quite pleased with herself and relieved, Valensa remained gentle on the surface. While embracing the two ship girls on either side, she comforted them and kept turning her head to kiss them.

"Forget it, all of that is in the past... The future is what matters most, isn't it?"

"Commander?~~" x2

Crimson No. 1 and Azure No. 2 cried tears of joy as they cried out, their bodies quickly becoming warm and soft in Valensa's arms.

"uh-huh."

Valensa narrowed her eyes, preparing to soothe the two ship girls.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Azure 2 bit her lip and gently pushed away Valensa's hand, stood up from Valensa's embrace, and pulled out a toolbox from under the bed.

The toolbox was opened, and inside were all sorts of ingenious little toys.

Some are relatively normal, such as whips, ropes, jelly-like soft objects, and soft magic wands with wind-elemental magic crystals installed—items that normal human couples would also play with.

But some other tools are rather strange, such as pliers, electric drills, saw blades, and impact hammers, which are completely out of place in this atmosphere, yet they seem to be usable by the ship girls?

"I'm still very sad, Commander."

After opening the toolbox and placing it in front of Valensa, Azure 2 knelt down again:

"So please, please don't treat me gently anymore, it will kill my heart... I hope the Commander can punish me harshly... I also like the Commander's harshness."

"Then... so be it."

. . . . .

After all the high-level fog demons were completely transformed into ship girls and submitted to the ship girl, Valensa suddenly became quite content with her life at the underwater base.

The gentle and obedient ship girls served her perfectly in every way, and they could help her realize any strange idea she had.

Because the ship girls' true forms are still those cores... now they should be called Soul Cubes. As long as the Soul Cubes don't break, their bodies won't be truly injured no matter how much they're played with.

Thus, all the strange ideas Valensa had in mind—ideas she wouldn't even dare to think about on Tia, nor could she bear to try on Chiba—were fulfilled on the ship girls.

The 23 ship girls, transformed from high-level fog demons, would receive Valensa's comfort every day in groups of three to five or more. They would also prepare an energy replenishment package for Valensa consisting of various aquatic products so that she could continue working.

This life was so comfortable that, before she knew it, Valensa had been living in the underwater base in the deep sea for more than a month, and almost forgot to go home.

Until Qingyi took the initiative to contact her.

On this day, Valensa had just woken up from the colorful stockings and long legs of the ship girls when she saw Qingyi appear on a screen in the ship girl base, looking at her with disgust.

Valensa didn't seem to care at all. She first patted each of the ship girls' bottoms to wake them up and get them out of the room before yawning and looking at Qingyi:

"Is something wrong?"

"So you can just stay here and squander your money like this, huh? You scumbag!"

The woman in green looked even more disgusted, and after angrily criticizing Valensa, she lightly raised two fingers:

"But I really do have something to discuss with you... two things, one public and one private. Which one should I hear from first?"

"It's a private matter."

As Valensa spoke, she searched for her underwear that had been thrown away the night before, only to find that it was torn to shreds and unwearable. She had to take out a new set and slowly put it on while sitting on the edge of the bed.

"The private matter is that the coalition's weapons development center has experienced many accidents this month, all of them sudden explosions... There were no casualties, but there was considerable property damage."

The woman in green spoke in a tone that sounded like she was reading aloud, but her eyes held a gloating smile.

"Tia's explanation to the public is that these incidents were all accidents or operational errors, and she also said that you will bear all the property losses... You have no objections, right?"

"My wife has made the decision, how could I dare to have any objections?"

Valensa, who had just finished putting on her underwear, shrugged and tapped her earrings with her hand. After injecting energy to activate them, a pair of black stockings was generated on her body, which she kept changing in terms of thickness and pattern.

After choosing a style of black stockings she liked, Valensa took out her white lace blouse and began to put it on. While buttoning it, she carefully asked the woman in blue a question:

"Is Tia... really angry this time?"

"……What do you think?"
