The blue time commander, good at undercover!

"What a coincidence! I was thinking of asking this question too. What on earth is there for a human being who can be found everywhere to gain such a valuable advantage?"

Luo Yi looked at Miss Azuma, who looked puzzled, and soon chuckled calmly, "So you ladies, the shipgirls, are also quite confused about this, right? And that's why you've temporarily detained me here."

"I'm sorry, but our imprisonment is not motivated by hostility towards you, a human being."

"There's no need to apologize, Miss Azuma."

Facing the polite Azuma, Luo Yi couldn't help but mock himself: "Honestly, I already think you shipgirls are very tolerant. After all, you can just chop me into pieces and throw me into the sea."

"The strong decide the fate of the weak. This is as it should be."

"Well, unless it's necessary, we won't harm innocent civilians."

"Unless necessary...right?"

Luo Yi looked at Azuma, who was full of naval bearing, and then said with particular emotion: "Speaking of which, Miss Mikasa is really a principled ship girl. To be honest, I respect her very much."

"Even for someone like me, someone with a murky past and a murky relationship with the Sirens, she was willing to treat me with unwavering principles and even offered compensation. She's truly one of the best people, or rather, a great ship."

"You know, that's 50 million. I might not be able to earn that much money in several lifetimes, woo hoo~"

At this point, Luo Yi pretended to be exaggerated and joked to my wife, "So don't even bother locking me up for a few days. Even if you whip me, it won't matter at all!"

"Ugh?"

Although she realized that humans' flexible bottom line was too real, the gentle Azuma didn't say much. Instead, she smiled calmly and said, "Well, Mikasa-senpai is very reliable and is trusted by us juniors."

"Although she may appear clumsy in some aspects, Mikasa-senpai is undoubtedly a good role model who values ​​honor and is full of confidence. I also admire her very much."

As expected, Azuma admires Mikasa very much.

Hearing Azuma's longing tone, Luo Yi, who had already learned all the information about the ship girls, was not surprised at all.

After all, Miss Azuma is a so-called Sakura Empire project ship, that is, a special ship girl with no ship experience at all. She has no past, a brand new resume, and is a little confused.

That's right! You know, over the past two years, Siren has not only provided him with detailed information on the so-called shipgirls, but has also provided him with information on the inter-ship relationships and factional atmosphere within each camp.

For example, the Sakura Empire is currently roughly divided into three factions.

One is the conservative Son of God who advocates security, the other is the radical faction who believes that as long as there are enough results, even some companions will be sacrificed. Finally, there is the neutral faction responsible for mediating between the two sides.

Agatsuma and Mikasa clearly stand on the side of the Sakura Empire flagship and are moderate conservatives.

As for the other two factions, each is led by a different Sakura Empire ship girl.

Wait... Come to think of it, it seems that the moderate and conservative ship girls are the ones staying in Sakura Empire now, while most of the others have gone out.

In other words, could it be that all of this was planned by that sinister observer?

Just as Luo Yi was considering this particularly terrifying conjecture, a righteous voice suddenly sounded from the side of the corridor.

"Ms. Azuma, it's best not to let your guard down. After all, there are still many suspicious points about him."

"Noshiro, Shusuke?"

Her purple-gray eyes reveal her rationality. The ship girl called Noshiro, wearing a JK-like school uniform, quickly reveals the image of a serious yet gentle girl next door.

On the dark black long hair, two warm ghost horns emerged from the forehead, which were faintly red.

Agano-class light cruiser, Noshiro, a demon girl with long black hair, but in terms of temperament, she is as serious as a rational and dignified female squad leader.

As Luo Yi finished his brief thoughts, Jiu Nio on the other side was wearing a more youthful and elegant black uniform.

With her long black hair tied with a cute red ribbon, Sakuno, who looked energetic and lively, was jumping around in shiny black stockings and small leather shoes, and was sticking close to Noshiro from the side.

The pocket-sized mini demon horns on its head immediately reveal its relationship with Noshiro.

The fourth ship of the Agano class, Sakurai.

Witnessing these two youthful ghost sisters, Luo Yi began to complain in his heart.

What invincible youthful beauties! It turns out that the appearance standards of KanColle are really unreasonable.

Especially Azuma's big sister chest, which looks extremely heavy just by looking at it, seems to directly defy all gravity in the world, standing majestically and upright in the uniform.

Although the observer had copied the appearance of all the ship girls of the faction to him, it was the first time he saw three ship girls appear in front of him at the same time, even though he was in a cell now.

Well, I always feel that the current situation is a bit subtle, as if he is a criminal.

Comparing my wife and the others outside the prison with himself inside the prison, Luo Yi didn't know what to feel for a moment.

But the next second, the capable Noshiro immediately placed several suitcases in front of Luo Yi and added: "This is the compensation that Lady Mikasa promised us before."

"There's enough gold in there. You can exchange it for the corresponding compensation amount when you take it back."

Seeing that the delicate white wrist of the substitute could easily lift the gold bar worth 50 million, Luo Yi also showed an expression of surprise.

Wow~ Should I say she is worthy of being a Kancolle? She gives money as soon as she is told, without any capitalist procrastination.

That being said, even if he took back 50 million, he probably wouldn't see the sun the next day.

When Luo Yi thought about how he was happily lying on a pile of money and was crushed to death like a bug by an observer who appeared out of nowhere the next day, he was naturally not as happy as he had just shown in front of his wife.

Because the best outcome for him next is to find a way to stay with the ship girl. Even if he just goes to jail, he will have the most basic sense of security.

at the same time--

On the mountain lake of the Shigekura Islands, the independent castle tower and Shigekura Shrine are located together behind the mountain lake.

Inside the upper building, Mikasa soon found herself facing the elegant indoor bonsai and blessing decorations. She slowly knelt down on the futon on the tatami mat and looked at the landscape painting screen in front of her.

"I'm sorry, I came to disturb you even though you were supposed to be recuperating, Amagi."

In response to Mikasa's slightly guilty apology, an alluring figure quickly flashed behind the hazy screen.

Then, the elegant and graceful Tiancheng appeared in front of Mikasa, wrapped in a dignified Japanese robe. While slightly turning the red paper umbrella in her hand, she knelt in front of Mikasa with her hands on her hips.

Although she was wrapped in a classical and elegant robe, the mature curves inside were still outlined through the robe, especially along the curvy fox spine. Tiancheng's round buttocks looked particularly full under the restraint of the robe.

Especially the thin brown silk anklets, which perfectly highlight the slenderness.

Amagi-class battlecruiser, Amagi.

"Ahem, it's alright, Lady Mikasa. I'd feel bad if I had to trouble you to take charge of everything."

With chestnut fox ears and a graceful demeanor, Tiancheng, who looked a little frail, then spoke bluntly, "So, what happened that has you so worried?"

"It's about a human being, actually."

After saying that, Mikasa simply and directly explained to Amagi.

After a while, Tiancheng, who seemed to be lost in thought, narrowed his clear purple eyes and revealed a faint smile.

"Really? Haha, it sounds like the Siren deliberately sent that human to our side."

"deliberately?"

"Well, I deliberately let myself be discovered by Shimakaze and the others, then deliberately left in a panic, and then deliberately left a suspicious human gentleman there so that Shimakaze and the others would treat him kindly and bring him back."

After hearing Amagi's summary, Mikasa, who had become nervous, couldn't help but explain on behalf of Suruga and the others: "Suruga and the others conducted a threat assessment on that human beforehand, and then brought him back for interrogation."

"But we still found a strange unknown Siren device on this human, right?"

"Amagi, you mean to say that the human is actually a Siren!?"

"That's not the case. After all, didn't he tell us that the Siren claimed to be an observer and seemed to have the ability to mimic our shipgirls? That sounds like quite useful information... ahem."

With his elegant and serene voice, Tian Cheng, seemingly at ease, instantly understood Luo Yi's thoughts and added, "He's clearly trying to break away from his relationship with the Siren. That generally proves that he doesn't want to side with the Siren."

"He even said he was afraid we'd misunderstand him, and he seemed to harbor resentment towards the Siren."

"But I can't understand why the Siren would let a human who knew a little bit of her information go. Besides, I don't understand why the Siren deliberately let him be captured by us."

After saying this, Tiancheng shook his fox head and sighed slightly, "After all, the information we hold with the Sirens is completely asymmetric. How can carelessness be considered better than intentionality?"

"There's nothing we can do about it. Ahem, sorry, the weather has been a bit cold lately. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

"Then what should we do? Should we drive this human out as soon as possible?"

Facing Mikasa's confused question, Amagi thought for a moment and then slowly suggested: "No, at the very least, we still have to find out the purpose of the Siren device on him first."

"Only in this way can we begin to understand the Siren's true intentions."

"Don't worry, I've already asked Noshiro and the others to take him to Akashi."

Mikasa finally nodded to Amagi, then hurriedly left.

Watching Mikasa's eager back, Amagi pursed his lips and turned slowly towards the distant window sill. Facing the blue sky and floating clouds outside, he murmured, "The main fleet is out, Nagato-sama is guarding the guardian tree, and Unxian has gone off to travel around again."

"It's just that this happened when our Sakura Empire's rear is at its most vulnerable. I'm afraid... it's not a coincidence."

Chapter 4 Welcome to the Animal World (Fog)

On the island of heavy cherry blossoms, the ever-growing cherry trees emit a delicate and elegant fragrance, giving people an inexplicable feeling of relaxation and joy.

However, at this moment, Luo Yi was lying flat on a medical CT-like device like a little white mouse, and was watching a fresh green velvet kitten walking around beside him with a subtle mood.

Akashi, the repair ship of Sakura Empire, has the motto of "main business is business, and side business is scientific research" (fog).

Akashi, with her light green hair tied into ankle-length pigtails and a cat-like work uniform, wore short and long cotton-white calf socks. She skillfully waved her cat-like sleeves and operated various cat-girl-style instruments.

With green velvet cat ears and small fur, the petite and soft Akashi now looks like Doraemon on TV, full of dreamy technological colors.

Witnessing all kinds of suspended instruments circling around, the idle Luo Yi could only turn his head and quietly look at the real little cat girl next to him.

Because speaking of it, the biggest characteristic of the ship girls of the Sakura Empire camp compared to the ship girls of other camps is that the ship girls here are basically the legendary beast-eared girls, which makes the entire ship girl camp look like a zoo.

Cats, dogs, big squirrels, cows, rabbits, and vixens.

Goat, bluebird, little bear, ghost girl, crow and white dragon.

Yes, this is the real Sakura Zoo. There are so many species that he can make up a rhyme.

Just as Luo Yi was busy lamenting the peculiarities of the Sakura Empire, Mikasa, who was standing by, asked with concern, "How is Akashi? Have you found out what the Sirens have planted on that human?"

"It's very strange, meow. Although I can see an object embedded in his chest, I can't detect its presence by any means. Even if I touch it directly or dig it open, I can only get feedback from skin tissue, meow."

Having said that, Mingshi, posing like a cat scientist, then used the electronic vibration knife in his sleeve to gently cut open the round bead-like object in Luo Yi's chest skin.

What was strange was that the metallic bead device penetrated deeper into the layer without being affected at all.

"To put it simply, it's like the thing in his chest doesn't exist in this dimension at all. Although it can be observed physically, it's not actually on the physical level."

After initially determining its characteristics, Akashi, with a serious cat face, added to the stunned Mikasa and the others: "Siren technology is so terrifying, meow!"

Seeing that even a scientific research expert like Akashi couldn't figure out the Siren's device, Mikasa looked at Luo Yi, whose situation suddenly became extremely embarrassing, with a headache.

Because at this point, the handling of these unknown captives immediately became complicated.

Because keeping it is a risk, and letting it go is also a risk, so how to place it becomes a problem. After all, the strange device on the human body is like an unexploded bomb that makes the ship uneasy.

Just when Mikasa was in trouble, Amagi, holding a red paper umbrella, walked in slowly with elegant lotus steps.

"As expected, the Siren's intentions are clearly not easily discernible."

After instantly realizing the current situation, Tiancheng lowered her fox eyes and looked at the human gentleman lying on the alloy bed, whom she met for the first time.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Luo Yi, it seems we can't send you to the nearest human city as agreed."

The clear purple eyes were filled with gentle rationality. Tiancheng, who had an elegant temperament, slightly bent his tightly wrapped heavy cherry blossom robe after he finished speaking, and saluted Luo Yi gracefully and elegantly.

The red and purple silk cotton matched with the fluffy chestnut fox tails behind him made Luo Yi, who had actually seen Tiancheng, pause for a moment.

Wow~ Look, it’s the legendary authentic fox spirit.

Luo Yi sat up and looked at the elder sister Tiancheng in front of him, who seemed to have stepped out of a painting. The next second, he said sensibly, "Well, there's absolutely no need for you to apologize."

"And I'm not so sad as to blame the ship that saved my life, because in the final analysis, my experience was caused by the Sirens."

After saying this, Luo Yi couldn't help but joke calmly, "Although we humans all like to instinctively point the finger at good people, to be honest, you could definitely put me in a safe and bury me alive right now."

After all, war is not a game of mercy, and even seeing a child with a gun requires risk management.

Therefore, since even he didn't know what the Sirens had done to his body, it was reasonable for the ship girl to get rid of him directly.

The fact that the ship girl was willing to reason with him was already a reflection of her high moral standards.

After hearing Luo Yi's particularly tactful remarks, Tiancheng couldn't help but raise his chestnut fox ears in surprise.

After a while, Tian Cheng nodded with a hint of admiration and said, "I understand. Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Luo Yi."

"Eh? Wait, wait! Most of what I said just now was just a show of coolness. Please, Kanmusu-sama, please don't adopt such an attitude of direct compromise and giving up."

Seeing that Tiancheng seemed to admire his calm sacrifice, the always truthful Luo Yi couldn't help but raise his hand and plead: "Please, Master KanColle, at least try a little harder, I really want to live (sad)!"

"what?"
