The Deathsinger / I'm Lost

"Yes!" Lexington, unlike his usual docile self, became spirited and energetic.

She adjusted her military cap and stepped forward to stand next to Saratoga. "Yorktown-class and Essex-class bombers, all of them, get bombers on board and concentrate your bombing!"

"Atlanta, Chongqing, organize light patrols for air defense!" Nero continued to assign tasks to the other ship girls.

"Where are the destroyers? All destroyers, come out and help with anti-submarine warfare!"

"All submarines are in the water! Launch torpedoes at full speed!"

Upon hearing the instructions, the destroyers and submarines rushed out of the building and began their work. With the admiral in command, they were not afraid.

"Washington, you take a squadron of battleships and engage the enemy's smaller ships! Bismarck, take a squadron of battleships and specifically bombard the enemy's flagship!"

"Eugen, you take the heavy cruisers and escort the battleships!"

As Nero issued his orders methodically, the previously chaotic battlefield instantly became orderly.

Her Majesty the Emperor's command abilities were more than sufficient to handle this situation; she had seen far greater things, and the war before her was nothing more than a piece of cake for Nero.

"Where is Tirpitz? Where is Tirpitz?"

Nero began searching for Northern Home, but couldn't find him; Tirpitz wasn't there.

"Cut the internet cable in her room right away!"

"Tirpitz is not here. Repulse, get ready. Have Hood lead the team to pursue the fleeing Deep Sea."

Nero originally wanted Northern Home to lead the pursuit, but now he has no choice but to trouble the Head Maid.

"Don't worry, Admiral! Repulse will not let a single Abyssal vessel escape!"

The Head Maid's expression turned solemn, her eyes filled with murderous intent. How dare a mere deep-sea creature challenge her? The Head Maid, who usually stayed by the admiral's side at all times, immediately transformed into an invincible war goddess, resolutely accepting her orders and leaving.

Nero finally had a chance to turn and look at Yuxian. She had seen Yuxian earlier, but hadn't greeted him due to the situation. Now that everything was arranged, Nero naturally wanted to talk to Yuxian.

"Hmm! The musician is here. It's been a long time. I'll play a tune to welcome you."

Section 445, Chapter Eight: The Death Singer

The ship girls of the naval base began to fight back effectively, and under Nero's command, they quickly gained the upper hand. The situation changed dramatically, and the crisis vanished in an instant.

After assigning tasks to the ship girls, Nero's own desire to perform was aroused. Seeing Yuxian's appearance made her even happier, and she couldn't wait to burst into song.

Nero, who didn't perform at Quincy's concert, decided to build his own stage this time.

After greeting Yuxian, she quickly stepped forward and rushed to the front line.

The Repulse, which was organizing the pursuit, saw this and tried to stop Nero, but to no avail. Nero rushed into the sea, and a Golden Theater rose from the vast ocean.

The dim sky was brightened by the dazzling gold.

"The theater comes from the sea—luxurious! Solemn! And beautiful! Witness, this is the splendor that sings of glory—my Golden Theater!"

[The Golden Theater that Sings of Glory] (Lauda Lentum Domus Illustrius)

"Enjoy it to the fullest, this is the ultimate rainbow... Hehehe! Admire my talent, listen to the thunderous applause!"

The Golden Theater not only allows the singing to resonate throughout the theatre, but it can even spread the singing to the entire ocean outside the theatre.

Nero's voice seemed to be amplified infinitely by a loudspeaker, resounding throughout the entire sea. Whether it was the deep sea in front or the ship girls behind, everyone could hear her singing clearly.

Lexington frowned, realizing she had failed to stop Nero from singing despite her best efforts. In her moment of panic, the fighter jets and bombers in the air began to fly erratically, as if they were drunk.

The once orderly ship girls were now swaying and staggering, their faces showing terror. Having experienced Nero's song, they once again recalled the fear of being dominated by the admiral's singing.

What's the most terrifying thing in the world? Abyssal Flagship.

What's even more terrifying than the Abyssal Flagship? It's the Admiral's singing voice!

The children had already covered their ears; they knew all too well that Chaldea's only two Death Singer renowned figures.

Musashi and Soviet, who were already completely drunk and unconscious, were suddenly jolted awake by the deep-sea attack. They were instantly sober and completely recovered.

Hokusai and Northern Home, who hadn't come out of the room, simultaneously covered their heads and burrowed under the covers, leaving only their bodies exposed, striking a ridiculous pose like ostriches.

Yuxian covered his ears with his index fingers and said to Mash with a sob in his voice, "This is such a grand welcome ceremony, I'm so excited I'm about to cry."

Mash winked at Yuxian with a puzzled look, as if asking what he was saying. She hadn't heard what Yuxian said because she had also covered her ears.

While Yuxian Xian and his group of ship girls were enjoying the torment of Nero's singing, the deep-sea fleet ahead was suffering far more severe damage than they had.

The grand Golden Theater is decorated with golden pipe organs on both sides, which transform Nero's singing into offensive power.

The organ mouthpiece emitted what looked like lasers, Fireworks, and flamethrowers, heading towards the deep-sea fleet ahead.

What appears to be an artillery barrage is actually Nero's singing.

As for why her singing voice is so powerful?

This is a cruel truth that is heartbreaking to hear, brings tears to the eyes of all who hear it, and is something no one wants to mention.

Under the combined attack of the ship girls and Nero, the Abyssal Fleet was quickly routed.

Their once orderly ranks became chaotic, with some sinking and others fleeing.

The once formidable deep-sea fleet has now become weak and helpless, like a lamb to the slaughter.

As soon as Nero's song stopped, Repulse immediately reminded Hood, "Chase after them as fast as you can, we absolutely cannot let a Deepsea escape."

They immediately formed a team and set off to pursue the ship that had fled into the deep sea.

Repulse what she said: she wouldn't let a deep-sea vessel go. She was a woman of her word.

Nero was in a great mood; having vented her frustrations, she was full of energy and high spirits.

Back on shore, Nero put his hands on his hips and laughed, saying, "Wasn't my singing beautiful? Shouldn't you give me flowers and applause?"

As the secretary ship, Lexington turned her head without looking back to tally the battle damage and merits; she had no desire to speak to her admiral at all.

She was afraid she wouldn't be able to resist hitting someone.

The ship girls all felt the same way. The admiral is indeed very powerful, but she would be perfect if she didn't sing.

Pity...

They dejectedly packed up their Ship Equipment, as if the battle they had just fought had not been won at all.

At this moment, they felt no excitement about their glorious victory; their heads were still buzzing with the echoes of Nero's beautiful singing.

Truly, its lingering charm lasted for three days.

Nero, oblivious to the reactions of the ship girls, quickly ran to Yuxian.

"Player, are you satisfied with my welcome?"

Nero asked Yuxian with a smile, Yuxian suddenly burst into laughter and patted Yuxian's shoulder forcefully.

"Don't get so worked up. Look at you crying like this. This was just an impromptu performance. Another day I will sing you a song with all my heart, one that you will never forget."

Upon hearing this, Yuxian looked terrified and hurriedly said, "Your Her Majesty the Emperor, please don't go to such trouble. My humble Magus is not worth your fuss."

"Hahahaha!" Nero laughed heartily. She said, "I admire your humility, but as my Master, you should be more confident."

Yuxian looked at Mash for help, hoping she could step in and get him out of this predicament.

Mash immediately stepped forward and said, "Miss Nero, although the rain has stopped, the wind is still very strong outside, which is not good for your headache. Let's go inside and talk."

"Ah! Mash, you're absolutely right. Come with me to my Admiral's Office."

Nero, reminded by Mash, was indeed distracted and headed to her Admiral's Office with Yuxian.

Yuxian breathed a sigh of relief and gave Mash an approving look. He really couldn't do anything about this Her Majesty the Emperor.

Upon arriving at Nero's Admiral's Office, Counterattack proactively poured tea for everyone.

Lexington was tallying battle achievements and losses, Repulse was still pursuing the Deep Sea, she was assigned to provide services here.

She was curious about Yuxian group. They were just ordinary people rescued by Bismarck, yet they were acquaintances of the admiral. It was too much of a coincidence.

Thinking this, Counterattack couldn't help but glance at Yuxian times. Yuxian noticed Counterattack's little gesture and smiled and nodded to her.

Counterattack couldn't help but playfully stick out its tongue, knowing it was a bit rude and that its sister would probably scold it if she found out.

She quickly finished pouring the tea and left the Admiral's Office, leaving the admiral and Yuxian alone, and no longer disturbing them.

Chapter 9, Section 446: I'm Lost

"Mmm, I understand."

After Yuxian recounted the general situation of Chaldea to Nero nodded to indicate that he understood.

She said, "With Yu here, Master, you can rest assured that everything is not a problem."

Nero's confident words greatly comforted Yuxian.

But he couldn't help but ask, "Your Her Majesty seems to be quite busy here?"

Nero waved his hand, "Master, please feel free to contact me whenever you need me, and I will definitely come."

As expected, Nero had no intention of giving up on the naval base. The ship girls here couldn't do without her, especially in such a dangerous sea area where deep-sea creatures often roam. Nero's presence was extremely important to the ship girls.

Yuxian wanted to ask Nero if there was any news about anyone else when he heard Repulse's voice from outside the door.

"Admiral, Repulse lived up to our mission, annihilating all the fleeing Abyssal fleet and sinking their Abyssal Flagship!"

Repulse stood tall and proud as he reported the battle situation to Nero.

As expected of the God of War, he can kill your whole family just like he says.

"Hmm, Repulse did a great job. Go and rest for a bit." Nero nodded, letting the weary Repulse take a break.

However, Repulse showed no sign of resting. She naturally took over the work of a maid, standing by the admiral's side, ready to serve him at any time.

"Admiral, the battle merits have been tallied."

Lexington also quickly came to report on the aftermath of the war, including the handling of tedious matters such as war damage and the loss of war merits.

Nero glanced casually at the report Lexington had given her, then handed it back to Lexington, saying, "You can take care of it."

Her Majesty the Emperor naturally wouldn't do everything herself. With a dedicated and responsible secretary ship like Lexington, she could confidently delegate all the work to her.

Lexington nodded. She did not refuse the task, knowing that the admiral was not concerned with such matters and only needed to report the conclusions to her.

She put away the documents in her hand and continued, "Admiral, Yat Sen and the others have prepared a victory celebration banquet. It's getting late, let's go have a meal there."

"Hmm!" Nero stood up and said to Yuxian, "Let's go have a meal together."

Yuxian naturally wouldn't refuse, and went to the cafeteria with Nero. After a great battle that afternoon, even though he hadn't participated, he was feeling a bit hungry.

Most of the ship girls were gathered in the cafeteria, playing and frolicking together as if they had never experienced a battle. Perhaps such a battle was commonplace for them.

"The Admiral is here! Ninghai, hurry up and serve the food, I'm starving!"

Akagi rhythmically tapped the edge of the table with alternating hands, loudly urging Ninghai to serve the food.

Just moments ago, the formidable First Carrier Division captain commanded fighter jets and deep-sea raids with such authority, but at this moment, she was like a gluttonous child begging for a snack.

The stark contrast was so striking that even her younger sister Kaga, couldn't bear to look at her and turned her head away.

"Everyone has worked hard, let's start eating!" Nero announced loudly that the banquet had begun, and everyone happily began to eat.

The cafeteria was filled with laughter and the aroma of food, creating a harmonious, warm, and welcoming atmosphere.

"Come in already! Stop dawdling!"

A particularly stern rebuke came from outside the door.

Bismarck arrived late, pulling Tirpitz along. She walked solemnly to Nero and said with a guilty look, "Admiral, I have already reprimanded Tirpitz for what happened. Please punish her accordingly."

Bismarck sternly pulled Tirpitz to the front, allowing Nero to punish her for not participating in the battle.

But she still felt sorry for her younger sister. Although she said that the admiral should punish her, she first said that she had already reprimanded her, which was to excuse Tirpitz in advance.

Yuxian smiled. Northern Home's unbridled laziness was probably partly due to Bismarck's indulgence.

Tirpitz looked unwilling and argued, "I really wanted to fight alongside everyone, but I got lost on my way out of the dorm. The dorm building is just too big."
