The huge fleet of deep-sea ships sailed on the sea like a school of migrating fish.
Akane and Raiden, who were far behind, looked at the deep-sea fleet in front of them and looked at each other.
"So, so much, what are they going to do?"
"I don't know …"
Holding the beret on his head with one hand, Akane looked at Raiden beside him.
Under the sun, the small fluff on Raiden's face was faintly visible, looking more pink and cute.
"But didn't the Admiral order us to follow? As a lady, just follow the order! "
Although they were full of complaints about Akane's "lady's code", the other three little lolis fully agreed with the sentence of executing Eight-cloud Ink's order.
This is the instinct of a ship girl to obey the Admiral as long as the order does not exceed the psychological limit of the ship girl.
"Didn't you say that Yamato-senpai and the others are behind? Do you want to contact them? "
Raiden tilted his head and asked Akane from behind.
It is the tradition of the Torpedo team to ask Akane when something is inconvenient. Of course, many times they prefer to use their fists or loli steel teeth.
However, after Akane used steel teeth to attack a deep-sea destroyer and came to the conclusion that "the skin of the deep-sea is particularly thick and difficult to penetrate", the four little lolis never tried to use steel teeth to deal with the deep-sea destroyer again.
This was also the reason why Master Xiang was the only one who was missing a tooth in the Dawn Thunder.
The broken tooth of the phoenix is magical and can't be fixed.
However, Akane looked more cute with a broken tooth. Nagato has the absolute right to speak on this point.
"Well, let's contact them and see where they are now …"
Soon, the radio signal sent out received a reply.
"Well, they are behind us, and they asked if we are in trouble."
Raiden, who was in charge of the contact, said.
"In addition, Akashiro senpai also sent a telegram saying that they are tracking the deep-sea fleet coming from the direction of Long Lake Island. It seems that they are about to meet …"
"I heard that the deep-sea fleet coming from the direction of Long Lake Island is bigger than the previous one!"
Raiden clenched his fist and gestured around with an excited smile on his face.
"Don't tell me we're going to go all out?"
"I don't know …"
Xiao shook his head.
"Right now, we only know this fleet and the fleet in Long Lake Island's direction. It is not clear whether or not the Deep Sea Fleet, which is a third party, or even a fourth party, is coming. If we charge forward recklessly without any intelligence, it will be a headache for the commander. That is not what a lady should do …"
Although they really wanted to ridicule Xiao for being the first to rush up, the three little lolis also knew that they weren't any better. They stuck out their tongues one after another and didn't say anything.
— — Hmm, at least he has some self-awareness.

The situation was more serious than Eight-cloud Ink had estimated.
After tracking them for some distance, the news sent back by the Yamato Fleet made Eight-cloud Ink and Nagato's previous guess come true.
There were more than two deep-sea warships that had been "attracted" by something.
The Yamato Fleet also discovered a deep-sea fleet near them that was heading in the same direction.
Like before, the Deep Sea Fleet, which had a clear purpose, did not attack the shipgirls.
This group of deep-sea sailors, who seemed to be on a pilgrimage, completely ignored the ship ladies who were passing by and watching them inhumanely.
It completely violated the previous code of conduct of the deep-sea sailors who rushed up to fight the ship ladies without caring about anything.
"There are three, and there may be a fourth, a fifth …"
Holding the battle report, Eight-cloud Ink frowned and looked at Nagato.
"So Nagato, it's better for me to go in person."
Nagato immediately looked at Eight-cloud Ink with a straight face, "Commander, please trust us! As the commander's shipgirl, it would be our biggest dereliction of duty if we let the commander go to the front line in person! Although I know that you are very powerful, but- "
"I know."
Eight-cloud Ink waved his hand.
"But I'm worried about you, right?"
Nagato's face suddenly softened a bit, and then he lowered his head again, "I'm sorry, Commander, if I can go into the water normally …"
As a battleship, she had all kinds of instincts as a shipgirl, but she still sank when she entered the water.
Although Nagato had always been indifferent, Eight-cloud Ink saw Nagato complaining on the dock under the moonlight several times at night.
"Nagato, this has nothing to do with you."
With a sigh, Eight-cloud Ink stood up, walked around from behind the desk, and walked to Nagato's side.
Gently touching Nagato's head, Eight-cloud Ink said with a bit of apology,
"To be honest, I'm also responsible. If you didn't use the all 30 resources, you should be able to fight normally. As the commander, I haven't found a solution to the problem yet, and it's also a dereliction of duty … "
After Nagato, Eight-cloud Ink never used the all 30 resource formula again.
Although the shipgirls born after that were more or less eccentric, they didn't have a situation like Nagato who couldn't even go into the water.
This also made Eight-cloud Ink more and more certain that it was the cutting of all 30 resources that caused Nagato to have a problem.
As for Starlet? Eight-cloud Ink still remembered that when Starlet was born, the Fantasy Tree in his Spiritual Sea contributed. As for the shipgirls behind, the Fantasy Tree didn't make any movements when they were being built.
Work Ship Akashi once performed a comprehensive overhaul on Nagato, and the result was that all functions were intact and there were no faults.
With no other way, Eight-cloud Ink even invested resources to let Akashi improve Nagato, so now Nagato should be "Nagato Modified".
However, this was useless, and Nagato was still a non-swimmer.
"… Thank you, Commander."
After being comforted by Eight-cloud Ink, Nagato seemed to be better.
"But, can you take your hand away?"
"Ah, ah! Sorry! "
Because he was used to touching Yui and the Mercury Lamp's head, Eight-cloud Ink just subconsciously touched Nagato's head.
"Commander H …"
Nagato, with a red face, muttered.
"Ahem …"
In order to avoid embarrassment, Eight-cloud Ink immediately changed the topic.
"… I promise you that I won't go in person for the time being, but if there's really danger, I can't!"
"Yeah!"
Nagato nodded.

It has been a while since the establishment of the Fantasy Village Joint Guardian Office.
Among humans, it also has a lot of fame. Thanks to Yuhara-san.
Therefore, a few days ago, other relatively nearby Guardian Office also sent shipgirls to contact them as ambassadors.
Thanks to this, the scattered Eight-cloud Ink in the surrounding Guardian Office also had some understanding.
Although the humans were extremely vigilant against the sudden appearance of the Fantasy Village and the monsters, because the ship girl also existed in the Guardian Residence, the humans subconsciously placed the Fantasy Village and the Guardian Residence on the opposite side of the deep sea.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
In this case, Eight-cloud Ink easily obtained the surrounding sea maps from the shipgirls from other Guardian Office.
Together with the sea map provided by Chiba, Eight-cloud Ink also had some understanding of this sea area.
Judging from the feedback from the shipgirls, the gathering point of the deep sea monsters is located in an uninhabited island between the Fantasy Village Joint Guardian Office and a Guardian Office called Renaya.
Spratly Islands.
It's not that humans didn't consider building a Guardian Office here to suppress the nearby sea area, but after carefully investigating the Spratly Islands, they gave up this idea.
On the largest island of the Spratly Islands, there was an active volcano that could erupt at any time.
The interval between eruptions was the shortest, even only a few months.
Fortunately, although it erupted from time to time, the scale of each eruption was very small, so it didn't cause a large-scale disaster.
However, this also made the islands unsuitable for human survival.
Now, countless deep-sea monsters have gathered here under the attention of Eight-cloud Ink.
