It all depended on how Shinano persuaded these ship girls.
And what these ship girls would do afterward...
Would they truly submit wholeheartedly?
Or would they agree outwardly while secretly resisting?
After all, the Sakura Empire faction had always been more rife with internal strife than the other factions.
Though it was not to the point of appearing harmonious on the surface while being divided at heart.
Everyone had their own thoughts and their own logic. That much was beyond dispute.
Little Griseo was tolerant and indulgent.
So she would not immediately use force to subdue everyone.
Besides~
Every now and then...
Watching the girls bicker like this was quite an enjoyable thing. Was it not?
"Within countless dreams, I have witnessed countless tragedies..."
"I have seen countless familiar comrades, all sorts of ship girls. Some came from the Sakura Empire, while others came from different factions... In the end, none of them met a good fate..."
"Some held out for a long time, while others for only a short while. In the end, they fell silent, carrying despair with them..."
"..."
"Those worlds, those circumstances... none of them held any hope."
"They were worlds of despair, sorrow, and grief!"
"..."
Shinano took a deep breath and began to speak slowly.
It sounded as though she was telling some story, yet it was so heavy that it clearly resembled something she had personally experienced. Even as an onlooker, witnessing it firsthand was enough to leave an indelible mark.
Her eyes drooped slightly, their depths somber. Obvious sorrow colored her gaze, as though she were mourning the dead.
How could Shinano not know that those were all parallel worlds?
They were her dreams, yet they were real as well.
Similar people and similar things had ultimately walked toward the end, again
