Chapter 452

Take Akagi for example.

Although Amagi is suppressing it, it's not too bad.

But sometimes, it can be quite a headache.

There's also Hōshō, who even fantasizes that the Commander is right beside her, and only she can see him; she's completely neurotic.

In situations like this.

You suddenly tell them that there is a suspected commander who is about to appear, or perhaps Deity from another world, who hopes to become their commander and has a very high chance of succeeding.

What do you think their reaction would be?

At that point, things will really explode.

To be honest, Nagato was somewhat afraid.

Because she is in charge of many things and coordinates the relationships between various small groups, she understands more clearly how abstract some girls are.

Shinano told Kiana and the others about it in the chat group.

Although Kiana and the others were somewhat surprised, they could understand it.

After all, Shinano has been around for almost ten years.

Not to mention the Ship Girls who were born even earlier.

They are on opposing sides and can only barely communicate.

They were all confined to their own small piece of sea.

Then.

How big can a single image be?

Experience aside.

The output is ridiculously low.

Each time you encounter Sirens in large numbers, it's like raising fish—someone kindly feeds you.

Fixed resource points result in even less output.

Twenty-four hours a day might not even be enough for a large ship to cause any trouble.

This results in these Ship Girls maintaining a state of near-normal human condition under normal circumstances. Activating their ship equipment? That's too extravagant. Slightly exceeding the physical capabilities of ordinary people? That would also consume too much fuel.

Although resource coins can be directly converted into oil.

But aren't resource coins also resources?

It's either obtained by defeating monsters or through resource point production, but the income doesn't cover the expenses!

Think about it again.

He was practically under house arrest in this small space.

Several years, more than a decade.

We can't get out.

They even had to accept the Sirens' offerings with tears in their eyes.

After all, it's already quite generous of them to be willing to mass-produce a few for you.

Otherwise.

The entire first map is truly a safe sea area.

There wasn't a single monster.

It's even worse now!

Even though they are clearly enemies, and even if they know about the Sirens, it might not be a simple matter of being enemies; it could just be a matter of differing stances. However, it's normal for them to have some prejudice against the Sirens and not like them.

There are no humans left in this world, and there are only a few hundred Ship Girls left.

Scattered throughout the entire camp, there are only a few dozen, or even fewer!

The Sakura Empire has already gone a bit crazy.

What about the other factions?

I'm afraid they're about to get sick from being cooped up for so long.

Who can accept this?!

[Tendou Kisara]: Simply put, the Ship Girls have begun to feel lost and can't find a reason to exist. They're only persisting because, like the Sirens, they're waiting for their commander.

Even if they are kept in captivity by the enemy.

Even so! Many times, what we ate was handouts from the enemy, food that was thrown to us.

They, too, ultimately held onto this obsession.

If we just wait, the commander will definitely appear.

Rather, it's more accurate to say...

The Sirens so powerful, yet they didn't directly destroy them or the world. Instead, they waited silently, keeping a close watch on the world.

Even if they don't know where their information comes from.

Commander, in what form will you arrive?

But the commander will surely arrive.

Knowing this is enough, isn't it?

The more the Sirens acted this way, the more it proved this point.

And that's enough!

Right?!

PS1: Second update delivered, one more to come~~

440. Actually, losing face is already a huge grudge, really.

So!

The more this is the case, the better.

The more they became obsessed with the commander, the more fixated they became on him.

They truly didn't care whether Kiana was the commander they were waiting for.

But as long as Kiana is the commander... that's fine.

They've had enough of life without a commander!

So.

They're struggling, splitting every resource into several pieces. Isn't it all to save a little and survive a little longer?

If you are trapped in an earthquake and waiting for rescue, you only know that someone will come to rescue you, but you don't know when they will arrive.

You can be quite frugal too.

If you only have one bottle of water, you'd want to sip it all and keep it going all day.

Even under normal circumstances, Ship Girls wouldn't be so desperate for their commanders. But the problem is, is this normal? They're being raised like pigs; given how things are, how can it be the same?

Nagato's concerns were indeed not without merit.

If hope is given and then despair is followed by collapse, the entire Sakura Empire will be thrown into chaos.

The Sirens don't care about your Ship Girls's mental state.

Even if you Ship Girls really seek death, they wouldn't mind sinking you all.

It's not a big deal.

When the commander arrives, just have him rebuild it.

[Spider-like creature]: Why do I feel like if Lady Kiana went to the Ship Girls world, she might get torn to pieces by the yanderes if she's not careful!

[Kiana]:...

Artemis: Oh, really...?

[Frieren]: Why was the Goddess dismembered?

[Shinano]: I will protect Lady Kiana.

In short.

No one doubted whether Kiana was capable of becoming the commander.

But they are indeed a little worried now.

Can Kiana really handle hundreds of girls eagerly waiting like wolves?

If they are all enemies, then Kiana is definitely not a problem.

But these are the kinds of girls who are absolutely, positively in love with you. Can she really bring herself to be so heartless?

Certainly!

This is actually a joke.

No matter what, Kiana wouldn't really let those yandere girls bully her.

Although it might be a bit of a hassle for her, and there might be some chaos, it will also be quite fun.

Isn't that right?

[Kiana]: Should I just not come? I'm scared~

[Shinano]: I will protect you.

Shinano gave the same answer.

She's so honest.

I never say that there are absolutely no yanderes in Sakura Empire.

That's just a statement.

She did her best to protect you.

Kiana was speechless. Do I fucking need your protection?

I'm just not good at dealing with yanderes.

Be prepared!

Artemis: My Young Lady, don't be a coward!

[Artemis]: Didn't you say that as a commander you had hundreds of Wife ship? What are you afraid of? Those girls might actually be your Ship Girls.

[Shinano]: To be fair, this possibility is not very high...

[Shinano]: Because we ourselves don't even know what our commander looks like.

[Kiana]: Let me tell you, what are six or seven hundred girls? I, Kiana, have already been through countless battles!

[Kiana]: My wives, in the present and the future, add up to four or five hundred. Why would I be afraid of them?

Although Kiana was putting on a show, it was a bit of a slap in the face.

But upon closer reflection...
