Human commanders and shipgirls need to sign a contract, which requires shipgirls to open their Mind Cubes and use them as a medium to connect the minds of both human and shipgirl sides.
Yes, this is a kind of "human-to-human connection" (no suggestive content, serious face).
During this process, both sides will open their hearts to each other, and on this basis, they can achieve mutual understanding in the future and reach the basic tacit understanding needed on the battlefield.
Under normal circumstances, although the Mind Cube acts as a medium for the connection of the two minds, each consciousness is still in their own body after all, and the natural, physical separation greatly weakens the impact of this connection on both sides, making it difficult to achieve the highest degree of intimacy. even with a talented commander, they can only achieve a tacit understanding between the contracted shipgirl that is similar to that of a couple who have known each other for many years.
But the problem is, the current situation is not "normal"!
Bai Yu's consciousness and Belfast's consciousness are in Belfast's own body, and before signing the contract, Belfast had unilaterally opened her heart to Bai Yu because of his consciousness inhabiting her.
This greatly enhanced the impact of the empathy on each other during the signing of the contract!
Bai Yu had been practicing "Sword Heart Art" for many years, and the mental will cultivated by his honed sword heart could initially resist this direct attack on his consciousness, but Belfast had no experience in this regard.
The impact of empathy was like a raging storm that almost broke Belfast's defenses at the first moment, stirring up endless waves in the maid's sea of consciousness.
Because Bai Yu's consciousness was also in Belfast's body, this wave naturally continued to impact Bai Yu.
It was like two metal rods that were both elastic but connected by a rigid connecting rod. The "metal rod" representing Belfast's spirit was hit hard by the impact called "contract," instantly vibrating violently, and the vibration was transmitted to the "metal rod" representing Bai Yu's spirit along the connecting rod. The continuous impact from Belfast, coupled with the influence of the contract itself, finally tore a hole in Bai Yu's mental consciousness.
As a result, Bai Yu's consciousness and Belfast's consciousness "resonated"!
The physical science knowledge of kindergarten tells us that resonance, as long as it meets certain conditions, can be stronger! The stronger the resonance, the stronger the impact!
Belfast brought Bai Yu to vibrate, and Bai Yu in turn brought Belfast to vibrate. The two were like left feet stepping on right feet, instantly intertwining their consciousness - spiraling up to the heavens!
At the same time, their bodies inevitably suffered a strong impact. In just a few minutes, Belfast's consciousness was like being caught in a raging storm, completely losing her autonomy.
Bai Yu, who was already a little dazed by being taken into a new world by Belfast, was able to experience the joy that he theoretically would never be able to experience in this life because of his consciousness inhabiting her and being able to synchronize with Belfast's physical senses. For a moment, he fell into a state of consciousness blankness, thinking, "Who am I? Where am I? What should I do?"
In short, he went AWOL.
After an unknown period of time, Bai Yu finally gathered his scattered thoughts and heard Belfast's repeated calls, but he did not speak, only sending out a subtle thought -
『I am...』
"That..."
Belfast obviously finally realized what had happened. She felt her entire body temperature rising rapidly because of her shyness.
However, something forced her to continue communicating with Bai Yu, ignoring her shyness.
(That...Commander, I think I may need to change my clothes now.)
Bai Yu: "!!!"
『Understood, I'll go take a trip.』
(Wait, wait a minute! Commander!)
Belfast was startled and quickly called out to Bai Yu in her mind.
(Are you leaving already? How can I contact you?)
『Well... I need to study how to contact you actively, but theoretically, I can come back to you at any time.』
Theoretically -
This statement made Belfast deeply suspicious.
After thinking left and right, meditating hard, and hesitating for a long time, the maid finally took a deep breath and took a leap of faith!
(Commander! Please... stay! At least don't go back for now!)
She just signed a contract with him, and... this ridiculous thing happened. Now, he's going to leave after just a few words, like a scumbag who does something strange and then runs away immediately.
- Not even paying!
Belfast didn't want to let Bai Yu leave so easily.
Bai Yu: "…"
『Aren't you going to go clean yourself?』
(No...it's okay! If it's Commander...)
(Besides, I believe Commander won't take advantage of this opportunity to peek!)
It's not a matter of looking or not!
I can clearly feel it!
I'll receive all your senses here!
Bai Yu didn't believe that Belfast didn't know this, but strangely, the maid was like an ostrich, not mentioning it at all.
"Belfast? Belfast?"
Illustrious grabbed Belfast's shoulders and shook her back and forth.
"What's wrong with you? Your expression has been changing like you have schizophrenia since just now!"
"Everyone..." Belfast stood up with her hands on the conference table, forcing down the sourness in her body, and said hurriedly, "The contract has been signed! I'm sorry for making you see me in such a disheveled state! I'll go take care of it first!"
After saying this, without giving anyone a chance to react, the maid rushed out of the conference room in a stumbling manner.
Bang -!
The panicked maid ran headfirst into the wall of the corridor outside the conference room.
That's a nice sound, Belfast, sounds like a good head.
Looking at the open door of the conference room after Belfast left, and the door that was still swaying back and forth, Wales coughed, left her seat, walked to the window, and opened it.
Mainly to air out the smell.
The cool breeze from the sea blew her golden hair, and it made the normally serious and stern shipgirl clearly perceive that - her face was burning up as well.
"That...Enterprise, call someone to clean up the conference room."
Enterprise raised her hand and pulled her military cap down deeply, covering her cheeks.
"...Okay."
