"I'm sorry to bother you, but...you don't have to worry, even if you are attacked by this kind of naval gun...I will be fine."

"You are...?"

Looking at the girl walking in front of him, Leon was stunned for a moment. This is a girl with silver-white hair, the light blue pupils look so clear, and the black ribbon on the head It made her look very cute, wearing a black leather jacket, the girl walked straight among the crowd.

"I'm Richard the Good Man, nice to meet you."

Seeing that Leon asked him, the good man Richard smiled at everyone again, but after hearing the name, Leon was stunned again.

Good man Richard...?He hadn't heard of this ship before...

"Hello, but... I want to ask, do you know where this is?"

"This is Samos~"

"Samos...?"

Listening to the other party's answer, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay again. The name of the ship with a very white eagle color and the place where they are now made everyone's minds a little overwhelmed for a while.

"Yes, this is the waters of Bermuda. It seems...you don't seem to know anything~ Did you come here secretly to play?"

Seeing that everyone still looked puzzled, the good man Richard clapped his hands happily. She still understood the feeling of sneaking out to play.

"Um...well, but...you're not curious about our origins?"

The good man Richard in front of him looked like a child. After pondering for a moment, Leon asked him with a smile on his face.

"Hmm... Although I'm curious, but... I can guess that you are from the Northern United just by looking at your outfits, but... I don't know why you are with Sakura's ship girl Together...and...looking at your dazed looks, everyone should have been temporarily transferred to watch this boring farce, right?"

Seeing that Leon asked himself, the good man Richard rubbed his chin with his hand and said to Leon.

"A boring farce? Speaking of which, you have been saying that the front is not allowed to enter from just now. Why?"

The words of the good man Richard made Leon even more curious. Following the other party's answer, Leon continued to ask questions.

"The research on Samos marine fish was still being studied here before, but it was banned because it was too dangerous. Now...it is not allowed to enter here."

"So that's the case, but... from your tone, did you also sneak out?"

"Well... almost, but... I came earlier than you, and now I plan to go back. Those rules and regulations are really strict, so... Forget it, let's not talk about these low-key topics Well, today is a rare good weather, let's take a photo together~"

After finishing speaking, the good man Richard took out a camera with a strange style and held it up high. The good man Richard looked at Leon and his party again.

"What... what should we do? Comrade Leon."

"Forget it, just take pictures and take pictures."

Looking at the people eager to try, Leon agreed to the other party's words. After posing, the good man Richard pressed the shutter a few times.

"Okay~ I will keep these photos well, this one is for you~ But...do you still plan to stay here?"

"Well, it's a rare opportunity, we are going to go shopping for a while."

Nodding to the other party, Leon let go of Shinano's tightly wrapped tails one by one. I don't know why, but now Shinano seems to like to behave very well with himself in front of outsiders. close.

"Well, this is a pretty good place. If you can, please stay here forever. It doesn't matter if you don't go to the acting sea~"

After finishing speaking, the girl drew an elegant curve on the sea surface, and then, she slowly disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Wait, did she just say something about the training ground?"

As soon as the good man Richard left, Leon looked at the people standing behind him again, and everyone nodded silently after listening to Leon's words.

"Yeah, and... I always get the feeling that what she's saying doesn't sound like it's trying to stop us from moving forward, it's more like a... invitation."

The attitude of the good man Richard made Kronstadt a little confused. If she really rejected everyone...then she should expel everyone here right now, but the tone of her words just now... It doesn't look like he wants them to leave.

And... this good man Richard really doesn't look like White Eagle's wife, she didn't feel the aura of White Eagle's girl in him.

"Forget it, we have nowhere to go now. Since it's an exercise...then we should be able to see similar ship girls. Let's talk about it after we get to the exercise area."

Turning his head and looking at Shinano, Leon proposed to everyone, although Shinano didn't say whether she would take him away now, but...

If possible, Leon wants to help Kronstadt and the others complete this mission.

"Comrade Leon is right, let's go over there and have a look."

Now there is only this road in front of everyone, but just as Kronstadt finished saying this, her figure shook violently.

"Are you OK?"

Stretching out his hand to support the other party, Leon asked her with a concerned face, and the face that was still full of smiles now became embarrassed.

"No...I'm fine...I just...suddenly dizzy."

Kronstadt didn't know what happened to her either. Just now, she felt a lot of memories pouring into her mind, but these memories were very vague, and she didn't know what happened to her now.

"How about we take a break? Everyone also adjust their state, and we will start again in a while."

Seeing that the other party was still frowning, Leon suggested to everyone that it is normal for everyone to have some discomfort when they first came to this kind of place. After listening to Leon's words, everyone nodded in agreement.

"In that case, let's rest for a while."

Smiling at Leon with an apologetic face, Kronstadt leaned against the tree trunk beside her. Now she needs to take a good rest. This feeling of flooding in a lot of memories made her brain a little swollen.

HH...

Why... Those scenes just now seem a bit familiar...

......

After resting for a while, everyone set off again.

"Speaking of... That good man Richard just now shouldn't have lied to us, right? Why do I feel like this is not a place for drills?"

After crossing the island, everyone kept walking forward, but Leon felt that something was wrong while walking.

I don't know when it started, the sea fog began to fill around them. At first, this sea fog was only a little bit faint, but as the people walked deeper and deeper, the sea fog became thicker.

"Kronstadt, are you all right?"

Not only that, but Leon suddenly found that Kronstadt walking behind him was a bit abnormal.

Since walking into the sea mist just now, Kronstadt's figure has become staggering, and he slowed down his pace a little. Leon took the initiative to walk to her and grabbed her arm.

"Huh? Le... Comrade Leon? I... I'm fine... I'm just... feeling dizzy..."

For some reason, after walking on this sea area, various fragments kept flashing in Kronstadt's mind, and these fragments were the memories that flooded into her mind before.

She felt as if she had been here before, but...this place seemed to be somewhat different from the fragments in her mind.

The sea full of fire and the black storm had all disappeared, and the only thing she felt familiar... was Leon and the rest of the Northern United who were supporting her by her side.

This feeling is like a dream, unknown memories and existing experiences are all mixed together, which makes Kronstadt feel dizzy for a while.

"Are you really okay? I feel like you're about to lose your hold, why don't we take a break?"

Leon didn't know what happened to Kronstadt, but it wasn't a problem with the ship's equipment and the Rubik's Cube, and he was helpless now.

"No, Comrade Leon, you don't have to stop because of me. Speaking of which... where are we now?"

After waving at Leon, Kronstadt looked around curiously again. From just now, she just walked with her head down. Coupled with the surrounding sea fog, everyone has lost their direction now.

"I don't know either. Just now I have asked Shinano and Volga to send carrier-based aircraft, and we will know the exact position in a while."

Seeing Kronstadt's painful expression, Leon finally stopped in his tracks, and the rest of the members of the Northern United who followed them also surrounded them with worried expressions.

"Kronstadt, are you all right?"

"No...I'm fine, I'm just a little dizzy, everyone don't need to worry about me too much, when we find a way out, we'll go straight in that direction."

Patting Leon's hand to signal him to let go of himself, Kronstadt stood up straight and smiled at everyone, but... the scenes in her mind still linger.

This place...will it be the center of the birth of that kind of black storm...

Kronstadt is now a little suspicious that this is the influence of the synchronization device on herself. After all... she was the only one wearing that device at the time, and the various fragments that flashed through her mind are now becoming more and more Clear, she can now be sure...

This is certainly not the first time I have been here.

But she didn't know that this was the first time she had appeared here, and the people around seemed to only remember the first time.

Glancing at Leon standing aside who was communicating with Shinano and Volga, Kronstadt finally gave up the idea of ​​discussing with Leon, if he told Leon that she had reincarnated many times in this world ... He shouldn't believe what he said, right?

Just as Kronstadt was thinking about this matter, a familiar voice appeared in front of everyone again.

"Sorry, the area ahead is forbidden~"

what! ?

This time, not only Kronstadt, but everyone present noticed something was wrong. This voice...wasn't it from Richard, the good man before! ?

After looking at each other, everyone gathered together again, looking at the figure slowly coming out of the fog ahead, Leon narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at each other.

"Good man Richard!? Why are you!?"

After seeing the comer clearly, everyone's faces showed doubts again, and...the good man Richard standing in front of everyone seems to be a little different from the previous one.

When I first met you, Good Richard had light blue eyes, but now... her eyes are scarlet.

"That's right, it's me~ Although there were some accidents during this process, but...I see everyone here again~"

At this time, the good Richard didn't have the obedient appearance before. He spread his hands slightly with a helpless expression, and she cast her eyes on Kronstadt again.

"I didn't expect everyone to greet me like this when they saw me again~ Speaking of which, have you found that performance venue?"

"No, we came here after crossing the island, but...why did you deliberately guide us to the theater?"

Standing among the crowd, Leon asked the other party with a serious face. The current appearance of the good man Richard only made him think of one possibility, that is meta.

But... Leon doesn't know why there is a META ship girl here, what the other party wants to do, and... more importantly, if the other party really wants to attack them, the current It is impossible for everyone to resist.

"Why? That's because... such a wonderful scene of confrontation between the two sides, how can it be done if the main characters don't come here? Immediately, right here... The drill will start soon!"

The good man Richard spoke faster and faster, and Leon could even feel the unbearable madness of the other party. Then, the good man Richard started laughing again.

"It's started... it's about to start... ahahahaha!"

As soon as the words fell, the smoke that had been surrounding everyone dissipated in an instant. Immediately afterwards, everyone saw a sea tornado mixed with red lightning. After a while, the black storm wrapped the girl in front of everyone.

"It's actually her!?"

The moment the black storm appeared, the fragments that kept flashing through Kronstadt's mind were all connected together, and then she subconsciously stood in front of the crowd.

"Be careful, everyone, hide behind me!"

Before everyone could react, the pitch-black storm quickly swept towards everyone. Kronstadt standing in the front was naturally the first to bear the brunt. In an instant, the storm directly hit Kronstadt head-on. .

"Kronstadt!"

Leon didn't expect that Kronstadt would take the initiative to meet the storm in front of him, which made him wonder if there was something wrong with the other party's brain. In addition to the various abnormalities shown in Kronstadt before, Leon Ang suddenly wondered if Kronstadt had been affected by the synchronization device.

At the moment when Kronstadt was caught in the storm, Shinano also stood beside Leon in front of the crowd, pulled out all the katanas on his ship, and the surroundings of Shinano began to emit light. blue light.

Immediately afterwards, these rays of light turned into light blue haired butterflies, and the number of butterflies increased. In the end, all the butterflies flew around the crowd at high speed, and these butterflies gradually formed a light blue streak. The mask covered everyone inside.

"I'm sorry, she acted too fast just now, and I didn't have time to react at all."

After protecting everyone, Shinano looked at Leon with a little apology, stretched out his hand and patted Shinano on the shoulder, and then Leon walked to the front and looked at the center of the storm.

"Wait, why do I feel... as if Kronstadt is still standing there?"

After a while, the storm receded gradually, and the people of the Northern United also supported each other to stand firm. Like Leon, they could now clearly see Kronstadt standing not far away.

However, the state of Kronstadt seems to be a little bit wrong.

"Kronstadt, you...!"

Seeing that his partner was fine, everyone in the Northern United breathed a sigh of relief, greeted each other, and Leon walked forward first.

However, before Leon stepped out of Shinano's protective cover, Kronstadt, who was standing in front, suddenly turned around again, facing the black storm behind him, and Kronstadt directly fired his gun muzzle Aim at everyone, and then...

boom--!

The shells precisely hit Shinano's protective cover, thick smoke filled the air, and everyone inside the protective cover also fell to the sea due to the powerful impact. Not only that, even the top of the protective cover appeared broken. trace.

what's going on! ?

Struggling on the sea, Leon took advantage of the situation and stood up with Shinano's body. Immediately afterwards, he saw Kronstadt raising the naval gun again and aiming the muzzle at everyone.

"Quick... go!"

Finally muttering the last words, Kronstadt once again fired a round of barrage at the position where the crowd was. Seeing this, Shinano stood up again and stood in front of the crowd.

boom--!

This time, the bullet screen that hit everyone was once again blocked by Shinano with those glowing butterflies, and he staggered back a few steps, and Shinano leaned directly on Leon like this.

"Husband... now in Kronstadt... it seems that we can no longer tell the difference between the enemy and us."
