Elder brother's garrison

"So what you just said about releasing deep-sea energy to repel enemies..."

"Um... I was wrong, okay?" Yamato Fukami muttered softly, sounding aggrieved. "It was all just a joke..."

"Hmm, I see. Yamato is a good boy. Good boy~ Good boy~"

Akagi's lips curled up slightly. She stood on tiptoe and patted Akagi Yamato's head with a smile.

As Yamato felt Akagi's stroking on his head, he sighed helplessly, but ultimately didn't utter any more words of protest.

"I'm a 500-year-old Dean of the Deep Sea, after all..."

Deepsea Yamato seemed to only dwell on this minor issue for a short while.

Right after the interaction between Deep Sea Yamato and Akagi ended.

"Yamato-neechan, um, do you not like us fighting against the Abyssal Fleet?"

Beside Deepsea Yamato, Fubuki, who served as the fleet's radar, gently tugged at Deepsea Yamato's hand and cautiously inquired.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Um, just now, when you were watching us attack the Abyssal Fleet over there, you seemed quite reluctant... Fubuki thought about it carefully, is it because you're also an Abyssal Fleet member, so you're not too keen on seeing us fighting against them...?"

As Fubuki spoke, her eyes were filled with apology and concern.

Yamato and Fubuki exchanged a glance and blinked.

"Hmm? Actually, it's not so bad."

Yamato looked at Fubuki with considerable surprise. She smiled and casually shrugged.

"I was just intimidated by the boldness of your Flying Aluminum team. Don't worry about it. Actually, I don't care who you fight."

Speaking of it.

To prove himself, Yamato Shinkai touched his snow-white chin and lowered his head to think very carefully for a while.

Let me give you an example.

Deep-sea creatures are inherently a group with very weak bonds of kinship, and after I became the Dean of the Deep Sea and evolved into a higher level of existence, the gap between my life and that of ordinary deep-sea amphibious ships became even greater.

You can absolutely treat us as two different kinds of creatures—well, like the difference between a whale and a paramecium?

In short, I don't care at all whether ordinary deep-sea amphibious ships are alive or dead.

As Yamato Shinkai spoke to Fubuki, he confidently put his hands on his hips.

"In fact, I'm closer to you ship girls in terms of life form than the Abyssal Fleet."

Looking at Yamato's smile, Fubuki listened to his speech, her eyes lit up, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ah! I see! Then I'm relieved!"

Fubuki smiled at Yamato Shinkai.

Looking at Fubuki, who seemed to have let go of a heavy burden, Yamato smiled gently, then turned his gaze back to Akagi beside him.

From the very beginning of the conversation between Akagi and Fubuki, Akagi had been looking at Akagi with an approving gaze, like a loving elder, which gave Akagi goosebumps all over.

"...Akagi, uh, why...why are you looking at me with such a cheesy look?"

"Huh? Is there any?"

"Yes, I have."

"That's right."

"...Why don't you explain yourself?"

"Haha."

Akagi chuckled twice, but didn't elaborate on the issue. Instead, she changed the subject, "Speaking of which, Yamato, we've been traveling since last night. Should we take a break?"

"Rest? Hmm... Actually, I'm not tired at all."

Yamato Shinkai raised his hand, resting his head on the back of his head indifferently, and said.

“Hmm… Although time is tight, in battle, even the slightest mental fatigue can be a key factor affecting the outcome. I think resting for a while will improve the effectiveness of the next battle.” Akagi smiled at Yamato Akami. “Hmm, it’s better to rest. How about we decide on this?”

Chicheng stopped there.

Look back.

He waved to the fleet behind him.

"Everyone, take a one-hour rest."

"yeah!"

"Finally, time to rest!"

"Thank you, Sister Akagi!"

……

As soon as Chicheng finished speaking...

Behind Akagi and Yamato, the fleet ship girls responded with cheerful cheers.

Then, one by one, the ship girls took out various snacks, comic books, game consoles, and waterproof cushions from their ship equipment spaces. They sat on the water like campers, starting their afternoon tea and chatting happily.

"..." Abyssal Yamato looked at the group of ship girls who seemed more like they were on vacation than going on a mission.

"Yamato, why don't you sit down and have a chat?"

Akagi handed Akagi Daiki a waterproof cushion.

"……Oh."

Deep Sea Yamato took the waterproof cushion, sat on the water, and crossed his legs.

The number of ship girls dispatched by the newbie naval base this time is indeed too large.

If too many ship girls travel together, no matter how well they try to hide, they will inevitably attract unnecessary attention along the way. Therefore, the ship girls of the newbie naval base chose to split up into smaller groups, led by several senior ship girls with high prestige in the naval base, and headed to the city where Xiaobai was located.

Because when Shiro was searching for Akagi to return to the naval base in the human city, Abyssal Yamato was also present, so Abyssal Yamato and Akagi had always had a pretty good relationship, at least better than the other senior ship girls. So this time, Abyssal Yamato went with the flow and followed Akagi's team.

"Yamato-neechan! This is sushi made by Koko-neechan, do you want some?"

As soon as Akami Yamato sat down, Fubuki took out a bento box from her ship's storage space. She opened the lid, carefully pinched out a delicate piece of sushi, and handed it to Akami Yamato, asking her a question.

"……OK."

Yamato wasn't actually hungry. She'd rather see Shiro sooner rather than rest. She wanted to refuse, but looking at Fubuki's innocent, doe-like eyes, she thought for a moment and accepted the sushi from her.

The atmosphere on the sea was once very lively.

"Speaking of which, did that deep-sea amphibious ship we just sank drop any deep-sea metal?"

Just now.

Suddenly, another ship girl next to Akagi, as if remembering something, asked Akagi, who was standing next to Akagi.

"Well, I'm not really sure about that because the enemy is too far away..." Akagi turned to the ship girl who asked the question and replied, "However, since she's just an ordinary deep-sea destroyer, even if she drops deep-sea metal, its value won't be very high, so there's no need to scavenge the battlefield. Let's not worry about it."

"Oh, that's such a waste!" Hearing this, Fubuki quickly raised her hand. "Akagi-neechan, please send me to scavenge the battlefield!"

"It's just a deep-sea metal from a deep-sea destroyer; there's no need for you, Fubuki, to make a special trip there."

"The Admiral said we should avoid waste in life! Besides, a piece of deep-sea metal can buy so many snacks!" Fubuki patted her chest nonchalantly and said to Akagi, "I'll be right back, Akagi-neechan!"

It seems that Fubuki is determined to get her hands on this piece of deep-sea metal.

Seeing Fubuki's confident expression, even Akagi was too embarrassed to say anything. She nodded and spoke to Fubuki.

"Ah... In that case, I'll leave it to you, Fubuki. Remember not to go too far, so that if anything happens, we can look after you."

"Okay, then Akagi-neechan, wait for me a moment, I'll go right away..." Fubuki said as she hurriedly closed the lid of her bento box.

"Cough cough!"

Then, Yamato, who was sitting in the middle, coughed lightly, interrupting Fubuki and Akagi's conversation. She looked at the two of them and said to Akagi and Fubuki, "How about I go instead?"

"Huh? Yamato-neechan is going?"

Fubuki was somewhat surprised by Yamato's statement.

"You ship girls need to rest, right? After all, you never know when a fight might break out, and it wouldn't be good if it affected your rest quality, right? Anyway, I don't have any missions right now, so I'll go and loot the battlefield for you."

As he spoke, Yamato Shinkai stood up.

"Well, that's so embarrassing..."

Fubuki looked at Yamato Akami with a troubled expression.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Look, I've already received payment."

Yamato shook the sushi he got from Fubuki, then popped it into his mouth and chewed it. He looked at Akagi and said, "Akagi, you don't mind if I help you scavenge the battlefield, do you?"

"Go early and come back early."

Akagi said with a smile.

"Hmph, no way." Deep Sea Yamato made a face at Akagi. "You guys rest here. I rarely get back to the sea, so I'll definitely take a stroll around and soak up some familiar flavors of home before coming back!"

Done.

Without waiting for Fubuki and Akagi to reply, Yamato put his hands behind his back, and with a whoosh, he accelerated towards the distant sea.

In the blink of an eye.

Under Akagi's helpless gaze, Deep Sea Yamato transformed into a tiny human figure.

The attack range of the carrier-based aircraft of the aircraft carrier girl is incredibly long.

The battle that just took place again in the extreme bombing zone of carrier-based aircraft. After running for a while, the Deep Sea Yamato finally arrived at the sea surface that reeked of gunpowder.

"Wow... Akagi and the others are really ruthless..."

As soon as it reached the surface of the sea, Abyssal Yamato covered its mouth, gently waving away the gunpowder smell in front of it, and looked around at the ship wreckage on the water with an expression of not knowing what to say.

The sea surface, carpet-bombed by B-25 bombers, was a complete mess.

On the sea surface, fragments of deep-sea ship equipment and bomb debris floated everywhere. A lingering high temperature had heated the water surface several degrees, and even the air you inhaled felt scorching hot.

Yamato looked back at the location where Akagi and the others were.

At such a distance, the Akagi fleet had already turned into a faint white line, positioned on the horizon where it was about to disappear but had not yet disappeared.

"...So this is an aircraft carrier...sigh."

Yamato Akagi sighed with a complicated expression.

Dean Shenhai was extremely sensitive to the aura of the deep sea. After walking around the surface of the water, which was full of deep-sea debris, Shenhai Yamato quickly found a small piece of deep-sea metal on a piece of deep-sea debris whose shape was indistinguishable, following the aura of the deep sea.

This piece of deep-sea metal, embedded in the deep-sea debris, exudes a rather rich, dark color.

Yamato took off the Deep Sea Metal, tossed it in mid-air, and then glanced at the Deep Sea Remains in his other hand.

The deep-sea debris in Yamato's hand should be one of the parts from the mechanical fish tail. However, this part was shattered into pieces during the recent high-intensity bombing, and was charred black, making it impossible to recognize its original shape.

"...This is fate, I guess."

Yamato put away the deep-sea metal, then threw the piece of deep-sea debris in his hand onto the water's surface, watching it sink to the seabed with a gurgling sound.

Deep Sea Yamato closed his eyes, clasped his hands together in the direction where the deep-sea wreckage sank to the bottom of the sea, and clapped his palms together twice.

"Next time you're reincarnated, at least be a deep-sea supply ship."

Deep Sea Yamato whispered a prayer.

The prayer is over.

The Deep Sea Yamato hummed a song softly, its hands behind its back, and sailed away from the sea as if strolling through a garden, heading further afield.

"Akagi and the others will probably have another half hour of rest. Anyway, there's no point in her staying there. She should go and explore the surrounding area."

"Oh, the sea... it's been so long."

"Your Deep-Sea Dean is back~"

"It feels like it's been more than a decade since I've felt this relaxed on the sea."

As Yamato strolled around, she talked to herself. She turned around and watched Akagi and the others gradually disappear into the horizon. She couldn't help but stretch comfortably.

This feeling.

It's like unleashing a dog from its leash while walking it, letting it run freely across the fields – a truly exhilarating experience.
