AZUR LANE: An Underwater Adventure (Translate)

CHAPTER 37

FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEW

Today, after waking up in the morning, I do my little marathon to warm up my body before breakfast. After running a few laps around the residential area of the base, I return to my room to shower and then go out for breakfast. While walking towards the dining hall, I run into Ayanami.

Good morning Ayanami. How did you sleep last night?

Ayanami: (Sleepy) Quite well, but I'm very sleepy. It was a bad idea to stay up so late last night.

Javelin: (She comes out of her room) Good morning.

Me: Good morning.

Javelin: It seems like you've been awake for a while, what time did you wake up?

Me: At 05:30 hours like every day, it seems you all are quite heavy sleepers.

Javelin: (uncomfortable laughter) Hehehehe.

Me: What about Laffey?

Javelin: It seems like she won't wake up soon, she has a lot of trouble waking up in the morning.

Me: I see.

I wanted to bring up the topic of the current war, but it seems that Javelin doesn't understand the situation very well. I think Ayanami is the only one who understands me, that's why we talk about this very delicate topic.

Ayanami: Since our last battle, my country has lost a lot of combat power. The Siren ships no longer respond to us and we are unaware of the cause.

Me: It's obvious that Akagi works with the sirens, if she's no longer here and the siren ships no longer respond to them, then the answer should be more obvious.

Ayanami: But still, I don't understand why she would betray the empire, that is very contradictory to Akagi's personality. She can be scary and even sound very psychopathic, but she is not the type of person who would stab you in the back.

Me: So it could be that the sirens have deceived Akagi, it could also be that the sirens have hypnotized Akagi, or it could be that the Akagi he knows is an imposter and the real Akagi is kidnapped.

Ayanami: Hmmm, that sounds very logical. What do you think is the most accurate possibility?

Me: I have no idea, but I think those three options are the most viable.

Ayanami: I hope nothing bad happens.

Me: You're not the only one who thinks that. I hope all of this ends without major complications, and then we can live happily.

THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW

Meanwhile, in the academy, Wales and Cleveland walk through one of the hallways of Azur Lane Academy while they converse.

Wales: The Sakura empire has lost some power, it will take them a long time to recover, but unfortunately we cannot take advantage of such an opportunity either.

Cleveland: It's because of the Black Mental Cube, isn't it? Also, due to the possible betrayal of Akagi towards humanity.

Wales: We have a lot of problems to solve.

Both girls enter the R&D laboratories of the base. Inside are the high-ranking girls of the base, however, Hornet is present because she is replacing Enterprise.

Wales: Have they discovered something new?

Amazon: Nothing at all, this thing has me very perplexed.

Langley: To begin with, we don't know much about conventional mental cubes. This is also a mental cube made of the same materials as a conventional one, but it has other unknown attachments that make it dark in color. There are also other things that we are unaware of, but I deduce that this thing is corrupted.
