The three of them chatted for a while and then went outside to check out the surrounding environment of the base.
Of all these worlds, only the world of Ship Girl has a different worldview than the others, so Mavis was quite curious and, led by Snow Wind, toured the command base.
Most commanders' bases are located on small coastal islands. Apart from the Ship Girl being your own, everything else on the base belongs to the General Headquarters. Of course, during your term of office, even if someone from the General Headquarters comes, they cannot enter the island without the commander's permission.
Therefore, it can be understood that these small bases are leased by the General Headquarters to the commanders. Then, those who perform well can apply to the General Headquarters for more resources. When they retire or are stripped of their command duties for making a big mistake, the General Headquarters will come to reclaim the island base.
In this world, Ship Girl will develop feelings for the commanders who created them. The longer the commander and the Ship Girl spend time together, the higher the Ship Girl's feelings will be, until they make an oath.
However, with rights come obligations. Helping to resist the monsters in the sea is an obligation, and taking good care of the Ship Girl is also an obligation. If the Ship Girl are treated too harshly and driven to despair, the General Headquarters will send someone to investigate. If the matter is true, the commander will not only be dismissed but will also face the risk of imprisonment.
Therefore, relatively speaking, humans and Ship Girl in this world are quite equal.
Furthermore, after the commander dies, the oath-bound Ship Girl in this world will scuttle themselves, taking the commander's remains with them to the bottom of the sea.
It can be said that the Ship Girl in this world are 100% perfect partners, except that they cannot have children.
While curiously explaining to Mavis, Snow Wind led the two on a sightseeing tour around the island.
At that moment, Mavis spotted a Ship Girl wearing a white dress floating on the sea.
"Snow Wind, look, isn't that Ship Girl?"
Mavis pointed into the distance.
Snow Wind glanced at it and said, "It should be."
Then it sped across the sea and carried the Ship Girl, who was bobbing up and down on the surface, back to safety.
Kurumi and Mavis went closer to look. Not recognizing the face, Kurumi asked, "What ship is this?"
"Fletcher, I guess." Snow Wind looked at her ship rigging and could identify it as the Fletcher, but she didn't know anything more specific.
There are a total of 175 Fletchers, and since the Ship Girl in this world can have their faces customized before they are built, Snow Wind doesn't know which Fletcher this is.
"She's starving."
After observing for a while, Snow Wind summoned the small robots on the island and asked them to bring over a few cans of oil.
"My base is located relatively deep inside, so few enemies can get here. As for the command bases fighting outside, Ship Girl often get so hungry that they faint and drift to other bases."
"In this situation, just feed her a few cans of oil."
Let the little robot pour oil into the Ship Girl's mouth.
"Wow, so Ship Girl really do drink oil?" Mavis exclaimed in surprise.
Snow Wind was speechless. "What's so strange about them drinking oil? They're not human. Besides, we drink cola, and they think that's just as strange."
Because cola can corrode steel, they consider it poison.
Therefore, there is an unwritten agreement between the commander and the Ship Girl: before kissing, the Ship Girl cannot drink oil and the commander cannot drink cola.
Otherwise, it will turn into mutual harm.
A little while later.
The Ship Girl, who had fainted from hunger, slowly woke up.
He immediately stood up and saluted Snow Wind, saying, "I'm very sorry, the Fletcher Benson has caused you trouble. Thank you for the oil support from your base. Please state your commander's name, and our commander will return the corresponding oil resources later."
Kurumi: "Oh, it's the Benson. This Benson doesn't have rabbit ears."
Mavis nodded in agreement. "Yeah, when I heard she was the Benson, I also felt something was missing."
The Ship Girl, Benson, wearing a white dress and with blue hair and blue eyes, looked confused.
Does the Benson have rabbit ears?
But she's Ship Girl, not a rabbit.
Snow Wind was speechless. "This is obviously the enemy commander's character creation. What are you two complaining about?"
"Ignore them, they're not Ship Girl. As for my commander, his name is Xue Xi. You consumed three barrels of oil from our base, so your base can simply return those three barrels."
"Xue Xi!" Upon hearing this name, Benson's eyes lit up instantly, and he chased after Snow Wind, saying, "Then you must be Snow Wind! Your Oath Commander status is quite a hot topic at our base; everyone wants to know how you did it."
"Ah, this question again."
The Ship Girl in this world seem quite persistent about swearing oaths to their commanders in return; many Ship Girl have already inquired about it either online or in person.
"You can't do it, this is an ability that I developed through mutation."
"Ah, I see..." Benson said with a regretful expression.
"Thank you for your help, Commander Xue Xi. I need to return to the battlefield immediately. Goodbye." Just as the Benson about to take off, two more Ship Girl drifted over from afar.
Snow Wind raised an eyebrow. "Why are there so many Ship Girl floating over today?"
"That's my partner!"
The Benson hurriedly fished out the two Ship Girl, then borrowed several buckets of oil from the Snow Wind, and after they drank it down, they both woke up.
"Z46/ Fubuki, thank you for your help."
As soon as the two Ship Girl woke up, they saluted Snow Wind, only to find that Benson was already standing to the side.
Through the Benson, we learned that this was the only base in the world where Ship Girl had sworn oaths to their commanders in reverse, and the two new Ship Girl' eyes lit up with excitement.
Then, after hearing Benson say that this was a mutated ability of the Snow Wind, they all looked disappointed.
"What's going on at the front? Three Ship Girl have already drifted to the rear today."
Fubuki sighed, "The front line has been fighting those deep-sea monsters for three days and three nights straight. The General Headquarters can't keep up with the supplies, so many Ship Girl have fainted from hunger and drifted to the rear."
"Oh? The battle has been going on for three days and three nights without ending?" Snow Wind exclaimed in surprise.
If it were our side taking the initiative, then the combat time would be understandable. But this is an invasion by the enemy. The Ship Girl are close to the base, so their supplies are fast and their firepower is strong. I didn't expect that under such advantages, so many Ship Girl would still fight until they fainted from hunger.
After understanding the general situation, the three Ship Girl quickly left.
Mavis immediately became interested. "Come on, Snow Wind, let's go take a look."
I've never seen any of the monsters in this world before.
Snow Wind thought of the ugly appearance of the monsters on the front line and said with disgust, "If it were a girl like a Siren, she would be pretty. The monsters in this world are all disgusting creatures with tentacles, just as disgusting as Cthulhu."
Kurumi asked curiously, "Then why don't you just destroy these things?"
"This entire world has been fighting these monsters for hundreds of years and has become accustomed to it. If I were to wipe out all of these monsters, this world would probably quickly break into a world war."
The threat of monsters has led to the formation of a unified government among humans. Once these threats are gone, it's Snow Wind's guess how things will turn out.
"Anyway, this world has its own future, so I won't interfere," Snow Wind said, shaking his head.
He summoned his ship at the port, greeted Xue Xi, and then led the two of them to the front line.
The Ship Girl in this world are similar to those in the Azur Lane anime. When not summoning ship equipment, they can transform the ship equipment into a giant ship body and sail on the sea.
This is usually done when the secretary ship is traveling with the commander.
After all, the agility of the main ship is far less than that of the ship itself when it only summons its rigging.
Following behind the three Ship Girl, Snow Wind led the two to the front line.
In order not to attract the monster's attention, Snow Wind canceled her original form and transformed it into a ship's armor. The three of them stood on the sea and watched the battle.
Long tentacles burst through the water and slammed down on the Ship Girl, who unleashed their firepower as the tentacles emerged from the water.
It's clear that these Ship Girl are fighting desperately.
Meanwhile, Mavis and her two companions saw through the surface of the sea and witnessed the enormous monster's body beneath, as well as scattered fragments of ship equipment.
In this world Ship Girl will not die unless they willingly choose to die, but they will be torn to pieces. For example, when facing monsters with a much greater strength, some Ship Girl will be torn to pieces without any ability to resist and will sink to the bottom of the sea.
At this point, we need to wait for the commander to retrieve her core and rebuild it.
Snow Wind frowned. "Monsters of this level are usually the final bosses of a certain body of water. Why would they specifically attack the command base on the mainland coastline?"
She sensed an unusual chaos within the Ship Girl) network.
Several powerful command bases in the vicinity got involved, but the results were not significant, and the damage inflicted on the giant Abyssal Octopus was very limited.
In addition, the supplies from the command center haven't arrived yet, and many Ship Girl are complaining.
If this continues, it's only a matter of time before the command base near this sea area is destroyed.
"Speaking of which, I've already spotted quite a few Ship Girl look similar to Snow Wind along the way," Mavis remarked.
"After all, I am the first generation of beast-eared Ship Girl. Before me, Ship Girl all had human appearances. It was only after I appeared that other commanders added animal features to the Ship Girl," Snow Wind chimed in with a sarcastic remark.
The main issue was the incident with the anti-oath commander, which caused an earthquake-like shock in the commander network, and her Snow Wind's fame spread throughout the entire commander network in an instant.
Then the commanders began to discover the charm of Ship Girl combined with animal characteristics.
As the first generation of beast-eared Ship Girl, she is used by many commanders as a template to create Ship Girl characters.
However, Snow Wind is a god, a god in the conceptual rules. Her name and her appearance are unique in the world. Therefore, no matter how the commander of this world tries to create a character, he cannot create a Ship Girl that is more than 50% similar to Snow Wind.
Those Mavis may look similar, but that's just an illusion from a distance. Once you get up close, you'll find that they are completely different from Snow Wind.
The battle on the sea was still ongoing, but it was clear to the naked eye that more and more Ship Girl were fainting from hunger, and Ship Girl were even swept into the sea and turned into a pile of fragments.
At the same time.
The commander-in-chief issued a retreat order, saying that this area of water had been lost and that it would be retaken when preparations were more complete.
Upon hearing the order to retreat, Snow Wind was unwilling.
She and Xue Xi were quite content staying at that small base; they didn't want to go back to the command center to wait for further instructions.
While the other fleets began to retreat one after another.
Snow Wind casually launched a torpedo.
Then a shocking explosion occurred on the monster, instantly blasting its massive underwater body into pieces, and a huge blast wave appeared on the surface of the sea.
Fortunately, Snow Wind controlled the torpedo's power; otherwise, creating a wave hundreds of meters high would have been a minor incident.
The torpedoes, with their power suppressed, were just enough to eliminate the monsters without creating huge waves.
The Ship Girl who were preparing to evacuate were dumbfounded. Whose Ship Girl have such powerful torpedoes? Are they using nuclear warhead torpedoes?
Meanwhile, Snow Wind, who launched the 'nuclear torpedo,' has returned to the port area with the other two.
Mavis asked excitedly, "Speaking of which, if humans in this world can become commanders, then can I?"
"Of course you can, but you have to graduate from the Commander School to be qualified to build Ship Girl. The core materials for building Ship Girl have always been controlled by the General Headquarters," Snow Wind replied.
"Oh, I have to go to school? Then I'll pass."
Mavis's dream of becoming a commander vanished in less than three seconds.
Snow Wind wanted to complain, but didn't know how.
When they returned to the port area, the three of them found it much more lively.
Besides the vampire and Sirius returning, several humans also came here.
It was none other than Sawa, Theresa Yoshino, and Yoshino.
Fortunately, Commander Xue Xi stayed in the port area; otherwise, if the vampire and Sirius had returned and found these strangers in their base, they might have started fighting at the drop of a hat.
Kurumi and Snow Wind hadn't kept their conversation private from Xue Xi, so when three strangers appeared in the port, she quickly found out how they got there and then comforted her two Ship Girl.
As for the vampire and Sirius returning early, it was because of the retreat order issued by the General Headquarters. Their base was also within the retreat area, so they rushed back.
Then, as soon as they returned, the General Headquarters told them that the monster had been eliminated, leaving the vampire and Sirius completely dumbfounded.
The vampire and Sirius's appearances are the same as in Azur Lane. This was Snow Wind's request to create them, and as the commander sworn to by Snow Wind, Xue Xi had no power to refuse.
Of course, the main reason was that the vampire and Sirius were both well-made, so Xue Xi listened to Snow Wind.
Seeing Snow Wind return, Sirius and the vampire both smiled happily and shouted, "Big Sister!"
"You're back."
Snow Wind smiled and then introduced his friend to the people in the port area.
When they learned that they could go to another world, the eyes of the other two Ship Girl and Xue Xi lit up.
Xue Xi's face fell instantly when she thought of the unfinished work.
