AZUR LANE: An Underwater Adventure (Translate)

CHAPTER 28

FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEW

After talking with my predecessor, she was very impressed with what I was telling her about my world and the technology that existed in my world. Columbia and my aunts were amazed by everything I was telling them, without knowing that the meeting time had arrived.

Cleveland: Oh my God! It's time for the meeting! We're going to be late!

Me: What? Did time pass so quickly?

We quickly stopped and said goodbye to the girls, then we ran towards the command office. Fortunately, we were able to arrive on time. Upon entering, we could see that all the girls were already present.

Belfast: Why are they agitated and sweaty?

Me: We got late, we were distracted talking with the sisters from Cleveland and time passed without us realizing it.

Wales: Well, you have arrived before the time so you are not late, please have a seat.

We sat in our seats and the meeting began.

Wales: During the espionage operation and the rescue of our spies, we were able to steal the black mental cube, which appears to be the secret technology of the Sakura Empire.

At that moment, the tech box on the table opens, revealing a black mental cube, and all the girls are amazed.

Enterprise: It's a mental cube black, it's impressive.

I am also very impressed, I think this scene is from the anime, but since I haven't seen it in a decade, I hardly remember anything about the anime's plot, I don't even remember the plot of the video game, the thing is that the black mental cube is... how can I describe it... hypnotic? For some strange reason, it entices you to touch it, Touch it? Are you crazy? No way I'm touching that thing, even if I'm crazy.

Wales: This is the secret weapon of the Sakura Empire based on Siren technology.

Cleveland: Can't we use this to neutralize their mass-produced siren ships?

Akashi: It is Orochi who controls the ships, and this one is only for support.

Wales: A massive warship called Orochi, so this thing is what the empire is building...

Vestal: What is the relationship between Orochi and this cube?

Akashi: I have no idea, we were never told the specific details of the plan.

What we do know is that a high-ranking Siren gave them this cube and that Akagi works for the Sirens.

Belfast: If that's the case, it means that the entire empire is being deceived.

Akashi: Akagi... What are you planning?

I simply limited myself to silently listening to the discussion. I didn't know what to say or do, so it was best to listen. This conversation left me with many doubts about Akagi's behavior. If I remember correctly, Akagi is a 'Fox Girl' from Japanese mythology, and her personality is of the yandere type. However, I recall that she would never betray her comrades, even if she claims she will kill them. The same would apply to Roon; she is not a psychopath, but the problem is that she tends to speak in a frightening manner, scaring many of her comrades. The only issue is if they see a man; undoubtedly, they would execute the '72 divine hip-breaking sentons.

Me: (shaking my head) (What am I thinking! Focus on the meeting!)

Cleveland: Niece, what's going on?

Me: Oh, it's nothing, I just got lost in my thoughts for a while, Ahahaha.

Then the meeting continued for another hour, where we discussed the possible next moves of the empire and how we could counteract them. After some dialogue, we deduced that the empire's next strike would be at Midway. The only problem is that the base is still under construction, and there are very few ships protecting that location. There is also another severe issue; there are not many kansen available to assign to that base. As a precaution, some kansen from this base will be reassigned there. In case the empire attacks that base, we will use an early warning patrol, where all submarines will be on that mission.

We will deploy several miles off the coast of the island, and if we detect the enemy, we will send a communication to the base and the fleet will go to the defense of the base.

THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW

In the Sakura Empire, the kansen enjoy their free time by visiting the commercial area of the base. On the other hand, Akagi and Kaga go shopping. They stop at a women's accessory store, and Akagi tries many hairpins on Kaga until she finds one that she likes.

Akagi: Look at this pin, it looks very nice on you.

Kaga: This will look better on you than on me.

Akagi: That's not true, please look carefully.

Akagi forces Kaga to look at herself in the mirror and Kaga blushes a lot. Without her realizing it, Akagi buys the ornament and by the time Kaga notices, it's already too late. But she feels very happy about the gift from her stepsister.

Near them there is a group of destroyers running down the main street, they are the Mutsuki-class destroyers.

Mikazuki: I want Taiyaki! The ones with extra filling!

Minazuki: If we don't go fast, they will be able to finish!

Mutsuki: Let's go fast!

Kisaragi: Don't run too fast, we might get hurt.

Meanwhile, several meters behind, Uzuki is running. She can't run as fast as her sisters. Suddenly, they pass by like lightning, and Kaga has to dodge all the destroyers. However, one of them crashes into Kaga. It was Uzuki who crashes into Kaga, and both girls fall to the ground.

Uzuki, upon waking up, realizes that she has bumped into Kaga, who looks at her with a somewhat annoyed expression.

Kaga: Be careful and don't run on the main avenues as it is dangerous. Do not use the speed of the destroyer as it would be fatal if you crashed into humans. Please, do not be irresponsible.

In that moment, Uzuki's sisters also appeared, who were worried because Uzuki was not behind them, and they too were dragged into Kaga's harsh sermon.

Akagi: (Fufufufu, here comes the typical sermon from Kaga, it's been a long time since I last heard it)
