Lost at Sea and in Another World

The Unknown Goal

Author: Due to current busy (real) life, it's hard to multi-task. The story will continue, and I might cut it off to 25 chapters rather than the original 30 chapters (minus the Epilogue)

How long will you hide from me...?

What remaind in front is what used to be an anchorage, now unrecognizable with the large flames and thick smoke. Most of the personnel weren't able to evacuate in time with how Tyrant bypassed the radars and bombarded the whole base faster they could react.

"Hopefully this will make them make their move. I'm getting tired of waiting"

The Code nicknamed "Tyrant" let out a deep sigh of disappointment, visibly bored and impatient from the last few days of idle as per her order.

[You're already weary, Tyrant?] Observer Alpha giggled from the other side
"Observer Alpha, how long will I have to stay quietly?"
[Fufufu~ You can't too rashly yet. The Bismarck of this world isn't enough to gather data from. I require a variety of samples]
"So basically, I have to attack more shipgirls. Doesn't matter who they are"
[To be precise, you have to identify which one will bear useful data. That means analyzing their every movement]
"I see..."

Despite her brief clash with Bismarck, Tyrant was left unsatisfied with the had the other day. Not only she viewed Bismarck as a disappoint but also Tirpitz has yet to show herself. She caused a commotion to draw her out, but the Iron Blood battleship turned out to bd as stubborn as her sister. Then again, Tirpitz wasn't the heroic type who wouldn't hesitate to face her if people were endangered.

[You know very well slaughtering these humans is insufficient]
"......" Tyrant faintly grunted
[Tirpitz is difficult to provoke since she's not someone who would fight to protect mere humans she doesn't even know. You're well aware of that]

Of course Observed Alpha had already figured out that Tyrant aimed to lure out Tirpitz with random slaughter to both humans and shipgirls as bait.

[Humans have little to no worth. To provoke the stubborn lonely queen, slaughtering even one shipgirl who's keeping her will sure force her out]
"..."

Even if Observer Alpha said as if it was an easy task, Tyrant knew it sas quite the opposite. Even if she was able to sink a single shipgirl, she knew Tirpitz is the type to not concern herself over a random shipgirl.

[Of course it has be a specific type. There's a 124% percent that the Lonely Queen of the North is taking refuge among the shipgirls of this world]
"Then I just have to kill those friends of hers and gather the data you needed. I'll burn down the hole she's hiding and struck her like an escaping pest"
[The rift opened around this area and her signal was last traced here]

Observer Alpha transferred data to Tyrant and projected it in a form of a flat screen that floated right in front of Tyrant. It was the map of Japan and the territorial waters around it, then it zoomed in somewhere outside the Sea of Japan.

"I see..."

Observer Alpha uploaded more data to her in order to narrow down the possible location to where she might have taken refuge and who were possible shipgirls who kept her. She wanted to lessen effort as much as possible even if she had an abundant amount of strength to spare.

Maizuru Naval district...

Nagato had received the most recent report of Tyrant's attack on an anchorage which killed several people and destroyed the whole anchorage after a relentless barrage. The shipgirls who intercepted her when she fled were forced to retreat themselves when their opponent proved to be superior.
