Chapter 451

The most important thing is not how to arrange things, but which people to arrange.

In other words, who should know the truth about this matter, and who should not be told it until the very last moment?

First.

Amagi is a good option.

But her two younger sisters, especially Akagi, are in a tough spot. Because she's a bit rebellious.

Only.

If it's Amagi's request, Akagi Kaga probably won't mind. It's not a big problem.

In fact.

Nagato was the rightful ruler during that period.

At least until Yamato appeared, her position was unshakeable.

Even if Nagato insists on pushing something forward.

No one else could refuse.

But!

The problem is that some people don't believe the commander has arrived so suddenly, thinking it's a big fuss.

There is also the fear that some people might take this news too seriously, believing that the commander has really appeared, and become overly excited.

In this way, no matter what, things are likely to go wrong.

Although it is more likely to be the former.

However, the latter is not nonexistent.

Although everyone is the type to not act until they see a clear benefit.

But that's precisely why.

You can't just say, "The Commander is coming, and we have to dress up, take a nice bath, and get ready to look our best," Nagato is about to arrive.

Does this really have to be the way it is?

Nagato sighed.

Ultimately, it's because the Sakura Empire wasn't wealthy.

If we were a little richer.

Hosting a top-level banquet is a piece of cake for them.

How could someone be so petty?

It's precisely because we don't have money.

Poverty.

So I don't care whether a commander arrives or not.

Even whether the other party is a god or not.

All I know is that this is going to be the death of our logistics team.

Therefore, logistics is also a problem.

Getting them to spend money requires some thought.

Real.

It's not that Nagato can't use money.

But everyone knows her personality.

Although people can't refuse you, they'll appeal to your emotions and reason, tell you their grievances, complain about not having money, and try to save money wherever possible. What can you do then?

If they have money, they don't care whether it's a commander or a god, or even if it's just a gimmick and not real.

They just don't have money! So, they have no choice but to be extremely stingy.

You're saying the gods are coming? Really?

You said the commander has arrived, but what if he hasn't?

It wouldn't be too late to start preparations after the commander arrives!

To be honest.

The more I think about it, the more my head aches.

Nagato sighed softly.

It's fortunate that she's Ship Girls; otherwise, she would look much older than she is at such a young age.

This is terrible!

Shinano silently drank his tea, watching her like this.

I thought about it.

"Is Sakura Empire in such dire straits right now...?"

"It's not just Sakura Empire, it's all factions, actually." Nagato replied with a troubled expression.

She told Shinano.

The Sirens tacitly approved of the Ship Girls' activities in this world.

However, it was merely tacit approval.

It's like opening up only a small portion of the nearshore area of the entire sea area.

It looks something like the first picture.

The rest are all sealed-off areas!

PS1: First update delivered, two more to come, keep it up!

439. The mental state of Ship Girls is worrying.

Because according to the Sirens' plan.

The commander may descend upon this world.

So.

Being able to allow the Ship Girls to level up to a certain extent is already an extra favor.

You guys should just keep spamming map 1.

If you want, I'll give you access to all the subsequent images as well.

When the commander arrives, what will we do?

However, simply participating in battles doesn't yield much experience, and leveling up is slow, so it's acceptable.

However, the rewards from battles, including resource points on map 1, are negligible. How much can they possibly yield?

Therefore, each faction, confined to its own nearby waters, lived a miserable life.

This is not something that is difficult to understand.

Shinano was unaware of these things.

It's because Shinano mostly dreams at shrines.

They don't consume many resources either.

It's in energy-saving mode all day long.

Moreover, even in her dreams, she never paid attention to these details.

Naturally, I didn't know that.

Nagato painfully held her small face with her left hand.

He was fiddling with the cup in his right hand.

Indeed!

She can make decisions directly, and her word is law.

However, if there are too many protests and criticisms, she cannot go against everyone's wishes and act unilaterally.

"Therefore, acting first and informing later is the best approach."

Nagato raised her head.

Although the Sakura Empire respects hierarchy and worships gods, it is sometimes a place where power reigns supreme.

Many Ship Girls possess greater power than Nagato, and naturally, they sometimes question Nagato.

It's nothing.

Nagato didn't care.

She thought for a moment and then said.

"The main significance is the descent of a deity or the appearance of a commander."

"Especially if it really is the Commander who is going to show up, and everyone is full of expectations and preparing a welcome banquet, but in the end they are disappointed, it will be very hard work."

"I really don't want everyone to have unrealistic fantasies from the beginning, so that when things go up and down, they can't help but have a mental breakdown."

"You know how important the Commander is to us... While that's true, now that I think about it, if it were just a banquet, there are other ways to organize it..."

"..."

Because Nagato was facing Shinano, he was somewhat relaxed and less serious.

He speaks rather casually.

"For example, we could use your birthday as a reason, since this year marks your tenth birthday."

"Given your position, even if others have reservations, it doesn't matter as long as I push things through."

"But at least, the reaction won't be so strong..."

"..."

Whether it's excessive anticipation or not.

They are still overly concerned about resource consumption.

It doesn't matter.

It's precisely because they're poor.

So everyone is indeed a bit too concerned about these things.

Nagato also hopes that the Commander truly exists.

If she is a true Goddess and her commander, it doesn't matter whether she is real or not, as long as they can connect to their Mind Core.

That's the commander.

This is beneficial to Sakura Empire, or to the entire Ship Girls group.

To put it nicely, the Ship Girls are in a standoff with the Sirens.

To put it bluntly, they were simply kept in captivity.

As a result, every time they tried to attack other sea areas, they were unable to succeed. Every single time, they were thoroughly bullied by the Sirens.

Over time.

It's closed off.

It's inevitable that they'll become somewhat mentally unstable.

The commander is of paramount importance to the Ship Girls.

To put it bluntly, the commander is the final piece of the puzzle for the Ship Girls.

Only in this way can the Ship Girls be complete.

The stability of the Ship Girls' morale depends on the commander. Without a commander, they'll go crazy sooner or later.
