“Ooh ooh ooh! Come on come on come on! Let’s play together!”
“Ahahahahahahaha—!”
On the vast ocean, amidst a large number of mass-produced Sirens, a Purifier with long silver hair tied into a single ponytail and bright golden eyes—no, I mean a cute girl, spread her twin-tailed shark-shaped ship equipment behind her, aiming four thick cannon barrels at the distant port, continuously firing purple laser cannons.
Beside her, two shark-head shaped cannons, like floating cannons, flew up and down, seemingly sensing their master's excited emotions, their firing rate increasing.
“Belfast-chan~! Belfast-chan~! Where are you!? Come out and play with→ me↑!”
This unexpected attack instantly set off alarm bells across the port area, and soon a large number of warships of various sizes emerged from all parts of the port.
“Wuwuwu waaaahhh! What the heck is going on in the middle of the night—Lafitte-chan!?”
Bousou, who rushed out of her dormitory, suddenly saw a familiar figure swaying in front of her.
“Ah…? Bousou?”
Lafitte, still clearly sleep-ridden, turned her head back. Her clothes hung loosely on her body, revealing most of her left shoulder.
“Lafitte-chan, go back quickly!” Bousou urged, “You were the most seriously injured last time!”
Lafitte shook her head, rubbed her eyes, and then sniffled before carefully adjusting the rabbit ears on top of her head.
“Lafitte, can… fight!”
“You—fine, but be careful to stay behind me!”
Seeing that she couldn't reason with Lafitte, Bousou could only decide to protect this little absentminded girl at all costs. She even worried that Lafitte might fall asleep on the battlefield.
The two of them hurried towards the pier, along the way they saw quite a few other warships also heading towards the battlefield in groups of three or five.
Bousou’s small face held an unprecedented worry. Since the establishment of Azur Lane, although the battles with the Sirens had been very difficult, the home port had never been attacked before.
Because there were quite a few large and small surveillance points distributed around the outer edges of the home port!
However, this time, the Sirens' sudden attack on their headquarters was a slap in the face of all the warships, and it also made Bousou feel a little doubtful: Could it be that the Sirens hadn’t really been trying in their previous wars?
If Bai Yu knew what Bousou was thinking, he would surely pat this little girl’s head and say: Be confident, and just omit the three words "Could it be"—the Sirens really weren’t trying at all.
Soon, Bousou and Lafitte saw a familiar figure slowly walking towards the pier. Compared to those warships rushing frantically, that figure, walking slowly without haste, was too eye-catching.
“Bel… Belfast-senpai!?”
Recognizing the figure, Bousou was overjoyed.
Although the news was blocked by the higher-ups, Bousou, who had been personally rescued by the maid on the battlefield, knew about Belfast’s contract with the commander. Although she was puzzled because she had never been able to see the commander and the news was blocked by her sisters from the council, if it was the senpai with the commander—
“Wait, Bousou.”
Lafitte suddenly reached out with her small hand and grabbed Bousou’s sleeve.
“Eh? Lafitte-chan?” Bousou looked back, under the moonlight and the fire of the cannons, Lafitte’s eyes looked quite serious. She pointed at Belfast with her other finger: “It’s... Siren.”
“—!!”
Bousou’s heart skipped a beat, she looked back at Belfast in horror, and just happened to see this graceful and gallant senpai looking back at her.
“Oh, it’s Bousou and Lafitte, huh?”
Bai Yu, still in control of Belfast’s body, instantly recognized these two little ones.
“Are your injuries better?”
“Bel… Belfast-senpai… you… no! The one in your hand… ”
Bousou pointed at Bai Yu, trembling.
Bai Yu lowered his gaze and looked at the observer who was being dragged along like a dead dog by him. The tentacle loli had already completely given up resisting and chosen to lie flat, letting Bai Yu grab her ankle and drag her along. She had resisted, struggled, and cried, yet this demon, as if having some malicious pleasure, clearly had other ways to control her, but he chose to make her unable to move and dragged her along like this! All the way here, lying face up on the ground, being dragged along leaving a long trail on the ground, the observer slowly raised her gaze and glanced at Bousou and Lafitte.
Before she could say anything polite, the observer realized that the hateful devil was dragging her again, even while walking without turning back, he said to the two small destroyers: “You two go back to rest, this will be over soon.”
The observer was furious!
No one saw it, fine, but it's already come to this, why is he still dragging her!?
So, in front of Bousou and Lafitte’s bewildered eyes, the observer began to roll on the ground, her small hands slapping the ground.
“Let me go! Let me go! I said I wouldn’t run! I’m cooperating! At least tie me up with ropes and handcuffs and let me walk myself! Is this fun for you? Are you some kind of pervert with a malicious sense of humor? Where’s Belfast!? Go control your perverted commander! Oh oh oh oh oh!???”
Bai Yu didn’t say a word, he casually pulled out a piece of the tentacle that he had chopped off earlier and stuffed it into the observer’s mouth, then said ominously: “Shut up, you trash!”
The observer’s eyes widened in disbelief: Did she hear wrong!?
(Com… Commander, there are children here…)
In her sea of consciousness, Belfast protested weakly.
“Fine, my bad, I didn’t consider the influence, so let’s change it up.” Bai Yu readily agreed, “Shut up, you seafood!”
Seafood…
“I, I, I’ll fight you!!”
The observer finally snapped the last string of rationality in her brain, and lunged at Bai Yu, baring her teeth and claws.
The scene of herself pouncing on Bai Yu like a facehugger didn’t happen. The observer vaguely felt the guy grabbing her hand suddenly tightening, and then—
Boom—!!!
Not far away, Bousou and Lafitte stared blankly at the observer who was thrown towards the sea like a cannonball, breaking the sound barrier and tearing through the air, creating a series of deafening roars…
