Relying on the powerful strength of South Star Island's Guardian Residence, the city built by the Guardian Residence had been peaceful for a long time. It had not experienced a war in the deep sea for decades.
Every night, even though the Defender's Residence would be quiet, the city outside would be brightly lit and bustling with activity.
However, tonight, South Star Island's Guardian Residence was as lively as the city outside.
In order to welcome the monsters from Fantasy Village, Commander Chiba held a grand banquet.
Apart from Commander Chiba and his ship ladies, some of the ship ladies who were rescued from Tokyo's Guardian Residence, including King Kong, also attended the banquet.
Initially, Chiba wanted to invite some of the higher-ups of South Star Island's human forces, but he was rejected by Yukari.
It was fine if Chiba and the ship ladies attended the banquet because they were the hosts, but why were the humans joining in the fun?
Moreover, the monsters' banquet was different from the banquet in the human's imagination.
Commander Chiba, who was embarrassed at the banquet because he saw all kinds of immoral behavior of the monsters, had a deep feeling about it.
Eight-cloud Ink, who did not like the strong smell of alcohol in the hall, left the banquet alone and went to the square outside the Guardian Residence.
The sea breeze that blew in his face made his slightly drunk brain sober up a little.
"Seriously, it's still the same … I'll get drunk as soon as I smell alcohol."
With a sigh, Eight-cloud Ink began to size up the Guardian Residence.
Overall, the tallest building here was undoubtedly Chiba's office building.
Then, there was a large building near the sea.
According to the local ship ladies, it was a maintenance canal that was responsible for repairing the ship ladies that were damaged in the battle.
Although Eight-cloud Ink did not play games in his previous life, he still knew a little about it. The maintenance canal was probably a large bathhouse …
Then, next to the maintenance canal (bathhouse) was a building that looked like a factory.
It was the place where the ship ladies were modified.
Behind the Commander's office building was a building that was heavily guarded.
Out of curiosity, Eight-cloud Ink strolled over slowly.
"Please stop!"
In front of the building, there were two ship ladies guarding it. There were also teams of patrolling soldiers around them.
Seeing that it was Eight-cloud Ink, the ship ladies knew that he was one of the Commander's important guests. Although they stopped him, they were very polite.
"Excuse me, what is this place for?"
Yakumo pointed at the tall building in front of them and asked.
The two shipgirls looked at each other. In the end, the taller shipgirl with long hair replied, "This is the place where new sisters are born!"
A place where new sisters were born?
Eight-cloud Ink's eyes lit up.
A word suddenly appeared in his mind: Great construction.
Mysterious does not change one's fate. Heroic does not save the innocent. Great strength creates miracles.
This was the place where the bloodline verification could determine if you were an Auty, Fetti, an Antarctic penguin, or a Martian admiral.
It was also the place where countless commanders were madly secreting adrenaline.
Cough, cough, please ignore the stubble on the top.
All in all, this building seemed to be the place where the new ship girl would be born.
Then … should his Eight-cloud Ink also make a big splash?
But he doesn't seem to be an Admiral …
Moreover, resources were also a problem.
Suddenly, a dark crack appeared in the space beside Eight-cloud Ink, scaring the two shipgirls.
Yukari popped out half of her body from inside. She leaned her hands on the edge of the crack and looked at Eight-cloud Ink with a smile.
"Mo 'er, what are you doing?"
"Well, nothing, but you scared them by appearing and disappearing like a ghost."
Yakumo Mo pointed at the two shipgirls in front of her whose faces were pale with fright.
"Ah, I'm sorry … Speaking of which, Mo 'er, are you interested in this place?"
"Kind of, I heard that this is the place where new shipgirls are born."
"Oh?"
Yukari suddenly became interested after hearing Eight-cloud Ink's words.
"Interesting …"
After saying this, Violet suddenly drilled back into the crack and disappeared.
⑧
"Commander Chiba."
"Hmm? Sage Yakumo, what do you want? "
Seeing Yukari leisurely walk to her side, Chiba, who was beside King Kong and trying to get information about the Fantasy Village, was stunned.
"It's like this, my brother seems to be interested in the birth mechanism of your shipgirls. So, to become an Admiral, are there any requirements for summoning shipgirls? "
"Is that so …"
Chiba pondered for a moment.
If these monsters with unknown strength could also become Admirals and summon shipgirls, it would undoubtedly increase the strength of the human side.
— — Because the deep-sea ships had an innate hatred for shipgirls, as long as it was a shipgirl, they would launch an attack.
Then, when the shipgirls created by these monsters were attacked by the deep-sea ships, they would naturally be pushed to the human side.
As a soldier, Chiba naturally thought about how to strengthen the military at all times and defeat the deep-sea ships.
With this idea, Chiba immediately decided to tell the truth about the shipgirl summoning.
"It's like this, Sage Yakumo, in fact, there are many people who come to the Naval Military Academy every year, but there are very few who can really become Admirals. This is because there is a very harsh innate condition to become an Admiral."
"What condition?"
Gradually, a circle of monsters surrounded Yukari and Chiba.
It was obvious that everyone was interested in this matter.
"The condition is that you must be able to resonate with the shipgirl."
"Resonate?"
"Yes, resonate. It may be difficult to understand, but in short — — you must have the qualifications to summon shipgirls to become an Admiral. Not everyone can create shipgirls after investing a certain amount of resources. Most people will not have any results even if they invest a huge amount of resources. "
"I see … How do you judge?"
Yukari asked.
"This is simple. Those who have the qualifications to summon shipgirls can get close to the construction machine and make the machine react."
"We use this method to select the first batch of people, and then conduct the strictest assessment of their character — — because unless the Admiral dies in battle, the shipgirl will never leave to summon her Admiral. Because of this reason, some Admirals have tried to do some bad things to shipgirls in the past … "
At this point, Chiba paused for a moment.
Everyone understood in their hearts what those bad things were referring to.
Some of the monsters even showed a disgusted expression.
"… If the shipgirl is willing, then it's fine. If she is not willing, even if the Admiral does such a thing, the shipgirl will not betray him. However, the shipgirl who is provoked will choose to sink herself, and after the shipgirl sinks with such extreme negative emotions, she will turn into the deep sea."
"At first, we did not know about this. We only wanted to increase the number of Admirals to gain more combat power. In the end, we let some scum sneak into the army and caused a disaster in the end."
"After the first two assessments, it will be the assessment of military talent for the newcomers. This will eliminate some people, so it is very difficult to become an Admiral."
Chiba looked at Yukari with a calm gaze.
"Besides, even if you become an Admiral, it doesn't mean that you can create shipgirls without restraint just because you have the resources — — because the more powerful the shipgirl, the more the Admiral will be exhausted. Until now, we still don't understand where this exhaustion comes from, but every time a shipgirl is created, the Admiral will be weak for a period of time. "
"I'm not afraid of Sage Yakumo's jokes, but the strongest warship under my command made me fall into a coma for more than a week after I summoned it. After that, it took me a whole month to fully recover."
'She's not lying …' Yukari thought.
To put it simply, if a human wanted to become an Admiral, they must first have the qualifications to summon shipgirls. Then, they must have a good character. Finally, they must have basic military talent.
It was indeed not an easy task.
Moreover, creating shipgirls would be a burden to the Admiral, which also stopped the human Admirals from creating shipgirls without restraint. Otherwise, after so many years, the number of shipgirls would have become a disaster.
They would not have been in a stalemate with the deep sea.
However, it was precisely because of this difficulty that the Admirals became the elites of the human race.
"Then, how did you get the equipment to create … Summon shipgirls?"
Yukari asked again.
Chiba hesitated for a while and decided to be honest about this.
Since she was going to pull them to the human side to fight against the deep sea, she should not hide this from them.
"There's no way to verify how the initial equipment came about, but it's possible to summon a workship when you summon shipgirls, and the workship can build equipment. As for the theory behind it, I'm sorry that we humans still can't understand it after so many years of research."
"I see …" Yukari smiled.
Then, she suddenly looked at Chiba and said, "Before coming here, we encountered a central deep-sea habitat."
"… I already know about that."
Chiba frowned slightly as she vaguely sensed something.
"We have records of that medium-sized habitat. To be honest, that habitat's existence has been suppressing the northern seas of our House of Guardians, and we've failed several times. We're very grateful that you're able to destroy that habitat!"
"Then, as a thank you, Admiral Chiba, can you let our people try to summon shipgirls?"
'It's here!'
Chiba glanced at the monsters whose eyes lit up because of Yukari's words.
After thinking about it, Chiba nodded.
"Sure! As a thank you, I can provide the resources. "
