The Reborn Admiral of the Ship Girl

The admiral's room was completely silent at this moment, and an awkward atmosphere that was visible to the naked eye was permeating the admiral's room. If someone pushed the door open and came in, they would definitely be startled by such a solemn atmosphere.

But it is a pity that the building where the command room is located is one of the few places in the port area where people are not allowed to disturb the surroundings. After all, it is a serious office space, and the location is also relatively remote in the port area. place, so normally there are no people around.

It is said that for a while there was a rumor that ghost fire would appear in the office building at night and sway in the corridors. But later I found out that it was Shropshire who suddenly remembered to replenish tea leaves for the admiral's room, and in order to prevent him from forgetting tomorrow morning, he acted to prevent his admiral from drinking scented tea.

Haha, what an interesting misunderstanding.

Sitting on the sofa, arranging his clothes and putting on his coat, Zhong Yu silently recalled in his heart, hoping to temporarily forget the embarrassing atmosphere.

Lexington and Missouri were sitting next to him, one on the left and one on the right, keeping a certain physical distance from Zhong Yu. Their faces were blushing, and the difference was only in the depth. They didn't know how to speak. After all, they had just met. The man could be considered to have done something rather crude.

"Ahem, so, this is not something you two had planned, but a pure accident."

In the end, Zhong Yu was the first to speak. He always felt that if he didn't speak, this situation would continue for a while. If it continued, he would have dinner. I haven’t tasted Yixian’s cooking for a long time, so I’ll ask her to make fried pork ribs later.

Thinking about food, for a few seconds Zhong Yu even managed to ignore the current atmosphere. This is the fighting power of food!

"Yes, after seeing the commander's deep sea transformation, I had a strong impulse at that moment, and then..."

"Um……"

So, I originally thought you two were so dissatisfied.

One thing to say, if it weren't for Zhong Yu's physical fitness, he might not have been able to withstand the torment just now. The two of them were like two juicers. Even so, this was within the range of Zhong Yu's expectations, referring to his recovery ability. In addition to the most important issue of life, improving physical fitness is definitely beneficial and harmless to himself and the ship girl in various senses.

...Forget it, it's better not to think about it so much, but if they say this...

Zhong Yu's expression subtly recalled Lan You's unexplained attitude and desire to leave after hearing that he was going to start deep sea transformation. Thinking of this, combined with Lan You's expression when he first started deep sea transformation, Did she already know that something like this would happen? !

She even reminded me to lock the door. She really made me cry to death, but couldn’t she just say it directly? !

"Ahem, anyway, let's get back to the topic first and talk about deep seaization."

Zhong Yu stood up and sat across from them. Lexington and Missouri took a deep breath first, and then nodded. However, their eyes did not look at Zhong Yu as usual, but stared at the table.

No, I am the one who is forced, okay?

Complaints are complaints, Zhong Yu quickly recalled his experience, and finally told the matter in a relatively simple way, but still able to understand the general situation.

"Commander——"

Lexington looked at Zhong Yu with a "kind" smile on his face. The strong sense of oppression made Zhong Yu couldn't help but look away.

After Zhong Yu spoke for a few minutes, the two of them were basically no different from usual. Now that they had finished listening, Lexington was naturally keenly aware of one thing - his commander was doing dangerous things behind his back again. .

"It's not a good thing to say nothing like that at the time and say it later."

Missouri's tone was calm, and there was no usual teasing tone in his words. Although Zhong Yu's description of the process of deep-sea transformation was concise enough to avoid their worries (another reason was that he couldn't remember much), Missouri was more sensitive than Lexington to realize the hidden meaning in those short sentences. of danger.

Thinking about it more carefully, although Zhong Yu said that he was sure of surviving, that was not a guarantee of success, but a worst-case scenario. Missouri knows very well that for a person like Zhong Yu who reports good things but not bad things, if he really simply said something confident, he is probably already prepared for the worst. Moreover, survival itself is an extremely vague concept.

"Sorry. But at least it worked, right?"

"Alas..." Lexington let out a long sigh and said nothing. She had experienced something similar to this once before.

"Please don't risk your life without saying a word again, okay?"

They didn't say any words of blame, but if there was any blame in their hearts, they definitely did. But what they know more clearly is that Zhong Yu's starting point for all this is for them. Although Zhong Yu only said it once or twice in his memory, both Missouri and Lexington knew that Zhong Yu had always been worried about his lifespan.

And if the integration with the deep sea is successful, it means that even if it is not eternal life, Zhong Yu himself will have a lifespan that is much longer than the original or theoretically close to infinite like the ship girl. It's even more exaggerated than the ship girls, because the ship girls' body is a battleship, and the same is true for the deep sea. However, as a community of the deep sea and human beings, Zhong Yu has no such thing as a battleship body.

Because of this, Zhong Yu was unable to summon or equip ship equipment, which was confirmed on the way back.

"I promise you," Zhong Yu looked directly at the two of them, "my only goal full of uncertainty has been achieved, and nothing like this will happen again."

If it weren't for the threat of Deep Sea Yamato, Zhong Yu could have lived a satisfying daily life all day long.

"I hope this is the last time I hear these words from your mouth, Commander."

"But having said that, I didn't even expect that deep-sea transformation would have such an effect. Should I try again?"

Zhong Yu suggested rather abruptly. Upon hearing this, the original serious atmosphere instantly collapsed, and Missouri and Lexington also looked away again.

"This is a bit..."

"I can't ask anyone else. I have to figure out what's going on, otherwise problems will arise."

After imagining the scene for a while, although they still felt a little weird, Lexington and Missouri still agreed.

In an instant, the deep sea transformation was completed, and Missouri and Lexington began to observe Zhong Yu carefully. This time there was no such strong impulse, but they still felt itchy and wanted to have further contact with Zhong Yu.

"How about it?"

After telling his feelings truthfully, Zhong Yu frowned slightly.

"Hmm... From this point of view, it is at least certain that there will be something like resistance the second time, but it's hard to say. Maybe I don't have enough control over this state."

"I have a theory." Lexington said suddenly.

"what?"

"Our hostility to Deep Sea is innate, and our feelings for the Commander are also innate, because we know very well that Deep Sea is the enemy and the Commander is a friend."

Zhong Yu tilted his head, a little, no, he didn't understand it at all.

"And when the resentment of the deep sea appears in the commander, a person who is friendly and trustworthy by default, it actually increases his favorability. Is that so?"

Missouri's explanation made Lexington nod, and at the same time, Zhong Yu understood what it meant.

"However, I'm afraid we have to add a premise, if the relationship is close enough. If it is a strange ship girl, it may actually increase the disgust."

"Hmm...very interesting."

Although it sounds strange, it is really not interesting that Zhong Yu complained in his heart when he just understood it because his admiral has changed his image, but when he thinks about it carefully, there seems to be no particularly reasonable explanation.

In the final analysis, even why it is successful is a mystery. At most, it is known that it requires physical fitness and recovery ability, but the requirements are so high that it can be said to be outrageous. Beyond that, nothing is known.

So complicated……

Zhong Yu felt again that even if he succeeded, he still couldn't take it lightly.
