《Chaotic Oceans World》 Storm of Change At a certain place, near a group of small islands, the loud sound of an explosion sweep through the area. Whenever the numerous black shadow hitting the surface of the sea, the explosion would bring the water into the sky. Between the continuous of this explosion, a long floating metal ship rushed past the erupted water. Its sharp pointed nose leads its long body to glide left and right to avoid the showering explosive bullets. However, its maneuver was not entirely successful as sometimes the showering bullets manage to land a direct hit here and there. Not far behind, another ship with 3 frontal cannon keeps spitting bullets as it chases the smaller ship. Not long after, the ship started to slow down as the whole body turned to the right. Ignoring the small ship that keeps getting farther, the ship started to stabilize it''s 5 main cannon to lock on the target. Noticing that its chaser prepared to shoot, the smaller ship decides to rush out of its range. Only to find that another company starts to approach. From the sky. The chaser keeps trying to lock and activated the communication. [Hosho, she is almost at the location.] [Roger. All unit, move out.] 2 squadrons of planes that appeared in the sky, bringing torpedo from each plane start to get near. The smaller ship started to counter-attack using guns at its side. ~Ratatatat The anti air guns started to split fire and made the sky to be covered with a bullet as the planes maneuvered to avoid while keep approaching. Unfortunately, some of the planes get hit and exploded, but not before they can drop their present. A 4 torpedo rushing through the water as the planes pulled up to retreat, seeing the ships started to ignore the planes and focused on evading. Just as the ship able to evade, a loud boom from 5 main cannons from the ship that fallen behind sounded. As the small ship focused to evade the plane''s torpedo, it¡¯s forgotten that its chaser already preparing to shoot. And this time the smaller ship got a straight hit and also losing its rudder. Before its could take a breath, a siren blared as 8 torpedos suddenly appear next to its right side. Losing its rudder and heavily wounded, the smaller ship could only stay still. A loud boom then becomes a signal as the smaller start to wrecked apart. Hidden on the right side, another ship appeared with smoke on its torpedo tubes. Suddenly, the surrounding area started to freeze and a notification appears. [Congratulation] [You''re Victorious] [You sunk the last Destroyer ship] [Point: 368530 Exp : 2105 + Exp : 238] [Total Damage: 25230] A loading screen with a certain ship silhouette and round chain appear for a second before a dock with ships appears. The ship was quite small and has a flat deck with few planes above, an Aircraft Carrier. ~Ding A notification appears and the mouse pointer move and clicked at the division chat. ¡¸Aldebaran: Oi, you are using CV advantage and can''t even hit lone DD?¡¹ Seeing the first chat, I sighed and started to type. The DD here was shortened of Destroyer ship type and CV stands for Aircraft Carrier. ¡¸Aldebaran: Oi, you are using CV advantage and can''t even hit lone DD?¡¹ ¡¸Keita: Shut up! Isn''t you''re the one nearby? just sink her!¡¹ ¡¸Aldebaran: I just want to let you get the profit, Commander. :v ¡¹ ¡¸BenStar: That''s right Commander.. ( £à^`)7¡¹ ¡¸Keita: ^ You''re not the one to talk! You Torpedo lovers! You overkill it with 8 torpedoes!¡¹ ¡¸Aldebaran: Anyway, why you are always using Hosho every time we play? How about your Myogi? didn''t you want higher tier BB¡¹ ¡¸Keita: I do, but I am still stuck there and I still want to improve my Hosho to unlock a special upgrade menu for it¡¹ ¡¸BenStar: Meh, aren''t you just frustrated because you always sink your Myogi... Commander ('' -3-)¡¹ ¡¸Keita: ...¡¹ ¡¸Aldebaran: ...¡¹ ¡¸Aldebaran: Calm Down Commander! Every player always has a problem they need to face!¡¹ ¡¸Keita: Can you stop calling me Commander?¡¹ ¡¸Aldebaran: No. Division Leader.¡¹ ¡¸BenStar: No can do. Division Leader. ('' ?_?)¡¹ Seeing my friends chat, I unable to hold my headache and just facepalming. Before long, another notification appeared. Hmm, it''s different from before. I hurriedly check it. [Warning: You have 5 minutes left, please close all the program before its end. Thank you for your patronage.] Seeing it, I couldn''t help but sigh once again. How many times did I sighed again, I shake my head and see another notification. ¡¸Aldebaran: How about another round of hunting again? Try your Myogi, Commander.¡¹ ¡¸BenStar: Right right, we''ll cover you! (, -^-)/¡¹ ¡¸Keita: Sorry, I don''t have much time. Let''s start again tomorrow.¡¹ ¡¸BenStar: Meh, you''re not cool commander ('' -3-)¡¹ ¡¸Keita: Did you forget, about our college homework ?¡¹ ¡¸BenStar: Which one? (; `§¥`)¡¹ ¡¸Keita: ... Sakubun.¡¹ ¡¸Keita leaving the Chat¡¹ ¡¸BenStar : (;; `§¥`)¡¹ ¡¸Aldebaran: What is Sakubun??¡¹ After I logged out, I closed all the apps and clicked the ¡®End Your Billing¡¯ button before standing up. As I prepared to leave, I saw a dozen people here, renting the computer like me which they use to play the game. There are 20 computers and it''s full of people, from children to adults. I walked to the exit door and noticed a familiar person. "Good Evening, Mr. Budi." "Ah, Redi? Good Evening too. Hm, what are you doing here?" Mr. Budi was my neighbor, he worked as a government employee. He always comes to this internet cafe to type his report because he didn''t own a personal computer. But now this person somehow starts to glare at me, with a cold sweat running at my back I answered. "I-I just finished some college assignment. Yes. A-Anyway, Working on something, sir?" "Yeah, I need to write some report. But..." With my unconvincing word, I somehow manage to change the topic, Mr. Budi was bothered by kids who playing beside him. Yes, it''s not only one kid, they are 5 kids. one holding the mouse and keyboard and the other becomes his spectators. And they are loud, as loud as little chickens who found a little worm. So loud. Deciding which and what to do. I decided that this must the best time to retreat and arrived at the entrance door, where I meet her. "Hello, Redi. Are you done? thanks for your patronage." "Ahaha... It''s fine, h-how do you do. Annisa." "Hm? I am fine thank you." The one who greets me was the daughter of the owner of this internet cafe, she was my classmate from high school. After she graduated she worked as a kindergarten teacher and helped her parent in the evening. To tell the truth, she was my first crush. She has a beautiful face, petite body, and medium-size hair. A kind and polite girl that smile at everyone. I bet her smile and kindness which make her popular with the kid. I unconsciously smiled. "What is it? Is there something in my face?" "No! I-I just looking at the poster behind you!" Ah, I become flustered because she noticed I was staring at her face for too long. And I make a poor excuse too! Look she was surprised, what a poor choice of word... "Hn, do you mean the ''War of Worldships''? Ah, didn''t you play it as well? It''s quite popular this day right, even some of my male teacher mates always speak of it. I haven''t tried it yet, though." I blinked and blurted out, "W-well, I can teach you. Maybe..." War of Worldships is one of the newest online game which takes the first top game in this year, the developers make a theme of Warships of the World War era and let the player experience this battle. Almost all the ships of the world were present and they keep updating. From single mission to team battle, Infiltration to large scale sea battle, and it''s completed with upgrade panels for each ship. Where players able to outfit their Ship with various weapons or armament. There is 4 type of ships. BB or Battleships, the largest ship with strong gunpower and armor. bit slow but the devastating power is fearsome. CA or Cruiser, the small to mediumship with the multipurpose role. the basic ships which easy to play. DD or Destroyer, the main damage of this game. With a small body and fastest speed, usually used as a scout. Has a little hit point but their torpedos are frightening. And the last is CV or Aircraft Carrier, the ships which use a plane squadron to sink all the enemy ships and as a support ship. Another advantage of this game is the real effect and vision, using the 3D system they make ''real'' ships to control. Using a simple control or an advanced one, this game has become popular. The game itself just barely 2 years and the players keep increasing, soon this game will keep updated and have good potential. Annisa then smiled at me, "Really? Do you want to teach me? it promises okay?" "Y-yes. Ah right. I need to go home now, see you." Seeing her smile in front of me, I become too nervous, and without I noticed I already escaped. That''s not cool at all, me! My cowardly still get over me as always! To tell the truth, I am not one of the best players. I just an average player who just plays 5 hours once per 3 days, except where I am in bad mood. In battle, my result was 3 wins, 4 defeats. with the highest kills are only 4. Which I get only once! Walking with my head lowered, I released a long sigh. Not long after, I hear a voice called me. "Redi, come here. Please help me to hold this as we need to prepare dinner." This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. I turned to the side and found that my mother is standing there with a bag of vegetables on both sides. But, dinner!? isn''t it too fast for a dinner? I was dumbfounded and finally noticed my surrounding. It''s already dark. I smiled wryly as I take both of the bags from my mother''s hands. As we walk together, my mother asks me a question, ¡°So how is college going?¡± I smiled, ¡°It¡¯s okay, learning a foreign language is hard. But I¡¯ll manage.¡± She shakes her head, ¡°Well, you are the one who chooses to learn the Japanese Language. But I hope you able to finish it. Understand?¡± I smiled and nodded at her. That¡¯s right, I am a college student who studied Japanese Language Education, from Cultural Faculty, second year. Some of my study somehow about the warships of Japan, that''s why I liked the ''War of Worldships'' games. In the future I want to be a teacher or started working in Japan, What job is it? I don''t know myself yet. At home, it¡¯s only me, my sister, and my mother. That''s why when it¡¯s time I would always help my mother to cook. After losing my father 3 years ago, my mother starts to focus on us and she could sometimes become overprotective. Even though I am a already university student! There was a time when I finish high school, I thought that my mother would made me chose her choice at University. However, she surprisingly let me chose it by my self. Now that I already second year in university, the assignment for me starts to drown me. I hope I could play more games! Sometimes I envious of BenStar or Aldebaran or other people that could play as they please. Completing someone''s expectation could be hard sometimes. I smiled wryly. Today I have homework and that''s Sakubun or writing a description. This type of assignment was what makes some of my friends suffered in agony. Well, I do though. It¡¯s only writing description, you say? It¡¯s should be easy, you say? Right! I challenge you to describe yourself in 200 words, in Kanji! I am sure you''ll know our despair! Haha! ~Tear After at least 2 hours of writing, I nodded at my work. Well, I guess it¡¯s enough? I stared at the full word paper in front of me with satisfied smile. Turned around to look at the clock and found that its still 8 PM, I give a thought for a moment and scrolled my class list on my phone. As I thought, tomorrow''s class starts at 3 in the evening. I smirked. It¡¯s okay if I am a bit bad right? Tip toed as I walk to the entrance door, I found that there is no one in sight. Safe. "Redi, where are you going? it''s already night." Dang, right! I was found! Turned to the side, I saw my mother lay on the sofa as she stared at me. Her focus swapped from watching television and at me. I scratched my cheeks and smiled wryly, "Don''t worry mom, I already old enough to protect myself!" My mother stared at me then raised one of her feet as she pointed at it, "Sigh, but who will massage my feet. It started to get ache." I almost fell when I hear her, "Isn''t sister here? And it''s just 8 PM, I will go out in just 2 hours." Hearing me, my mother''s eyes turned cold, "Wait! Are you going to smoke? are you buying alcohol without me noticing? isn''t that money in your hand? Don''t tell me, you are going to pay for a $%#!?" Wait wait!, I rushed at her side and pleaded, "That''s not it! Look at me mom, I have a thin body. I will get sick if I smoke or drinking. I just going to an internet cafe. Okay?" My mother still staring at me with cold eyes, ¡°How is your assignment?¡± I gulped my saliva for a moment and stared at her eyes, ¡°It¡¯s completely done.¡± She suddenly smiled, "I see, you want to visit that kindergarten teacher? Why can''t you honest with yourself." Hearing her I left dumbfounded. I forget the only net cafe in the area just one location, and she knew about this!? With a sly smile from my mother, I rushed out of home as I hide my embarrassment. You win this time mom! **** ¡¸Aldebaran: I see, and you didn''t make your homework now?¡¹ ¡¸BenStar: Meh, I can do that tomorrow morning! ('' ~3~)¡¹ ¡¸Keita joined the chat¡¹ ¡¸Keita: You sure is something.¡¹ ¡¸Aldebaran: Commander !?¡¹ ¡¸BenStar: Commander !? (; `§¥`)¡¹ ¡¸Aldebaran: Why? Aren''t you doing that ''thing'' ?¡¹ ¡¸Keita: It''s not that ''thing''. It''s homework. And it''s already done.¡¹ ¡¸BenStar: Are you here to help your stress (£à???¡ä)¡¹ ¡¸Keita: You know it very well.¡¹ That was half the truth, making a sakubun is... how do I say it. Confusing. I really can''t believe someone who studying Mandarin, I just can give them my applause. Well done Kanji. my other reasons, was actually to try to meet with her- Cough. Anyway, I came here in hurry and what greeted me as I arrive was a bearded old man. It seems that Annisa has something to do, what a shame. Now I want to punch a hole in some enemy ship! ¡¸Aldebaran: If you''re here, how about a division?¡¹ ¡¸Keita: Let''s do this¡¹ ¡¸BenStar: (£à???¡ä)¡¹ ¡¸Keita invited Aldebaran to Platoon Division¡¹ ¡¸Keita invited BenStar to Platoon Division¡¹ Division, in the ''War of Worldships'' there is a system of Platoon Division or at the other game called a party. It''s a bit different, though, one division was only 3 ships. After the Platoon Division was created, it''s time to choose the game. This time we choose the random mode. I still choose Hosho the petite Japanese Carrier tier 4, Aldebaran with Japanese Battlecruiser Atago tier 6, and BenStar with Japanese Destroyer, Hatsuzuki tier 5. I and BenStar was one division at first because we are university friends and one day we somehow meets with another Japanese ship lover Aldebaran, he uses real money to buy premium ships, though. Random Mode was a battle with 10 ships on each side with the random area, a familiar loading screen of ships silhouette appeared and the battle arena appears. this time was at the ocean. No cover at all, really bad for me as a ship without long artillery. Was this my bad luck today? #Shiver~ What? I turned around as I feel a sudden shiver but I didn¡¯t found anything wrong. There are also 2 people beside me, and one of them, a girl noticed me looking around. I smiled wryly at her staring and turned back to my monitor. Oh, I see something bad feature right now. ¡¸BenStar: It¡¯s raining... ('' o_o)¡¹ ¡¸Keita: Is that what bothers you! You know it¡¯s bad for me?¡¹ ¡¸Aldebaran: Commander, this is bad if you are discovered by enemy ships¡¹ ¡¸Aldebaran: Let me lead on this battle¡¹ I smiled. The other good thing in our division is how good we are when communicating, even though we are only playing together for a few months we already understand each other gameplay. So it''s already normal for each of us leading some battle, and fortunately, Aldebaran was quite an expert in the open sea combat. After the countdown ended, each ship rushed elsewhere, but we decided to stick together. The formation was Atago sailing at the left side covering my Hosho and BenStar Hatsuzuki will be tailing behind. We sailing to the right side of the map. I didn''t launch any planes yet and we keep moving. Not long after we sail, Aldebaran started to ask in the Platoon chat. ¡¸Aldebaran: Wait, isn''t the rain become a storm here?¡¹ ¡¸BenStar: As I said, I hate rain... ('' -3-)¡¹ ¡¸Keita: Eh? it''s so strange¡­¡¹ At first, my monitor was showing the eagle eye style but after I change the point of view to the ship view, I could see a complete storm. The sea wave hitting the lowest part of our ships, but it was getting higher and I can see our small ''guardian'', Hatsuzuki was dancing as it gets hit by the wave. It¡¯s quite funny but as the game sure uses some realism but was the storm added feature now? I changed back to an eagle eye and I noticed something strange happening as I scroll around the map. The platoon chat pinged. ¡¸BenStar: Something is wrong¡¹ ¡¸Aldebaran: What the!? BenStar didn''t use any emoticon!! It''s Impossible!!¡¹ ¡¸Keita: This is bad! If he didn''t use it, a Calamity will befall us!!¡¹ The storm continued, and as I see it each ship from both sides started to disappearing. The icon that shows the survived player also gets disappeared one by one. What is going on here!? And then I noticed something, a mysterious dark cloud appeared ahead and start to cover our ships. Before I can react to this strange situation, a blackness also covered my vision. **** Guuh.. my head hurts, what was this feeling. I feel like I was flying, no was it floating? I could feel my body swaying from right to left, the cold metal in my cheeks was uncomfortable but my head hurts. Uh, since when the plastic keyboard feels this cold. I trying to move my body, but the ache in my head make me refraining any action. I groaned in pain before a pair of hand shaking my shoulder. Don''t tell me, I got asleep in the net cafe and my mother decided to visit me! No, she will cut my pocket money. It''s a nightmare, Get up my body! The shake becomes stronger and I also could hear noisy voice of people talking. With a cold sweat, I slowly open my eyes. What greeted me was an unfamiliar location, it was like a control room in a military movie. And Iron wall, outdated computer with radar and communication system? My mind blanked for a moment. Where in the heck am I!? "Admiral, are you alright? Did you hurt somewhere?" In my frozen state, another shake from my shoulder let me know who was the one shaking me to wake up. From her melody like voice, it¡¯s not my mother, not even Annisa. My mind suddenly interrupted again. With the sound of an explosion. ~Bang !! "Ah, Secretary officer we are getting shoot from unknown ships. What do we do?" A man wearing a headset turned to the girl and shouted. The girl makes a calm expression and ordered. "Check our ship condition, is there any damage appear? prepare some men to bring a fire extinguisher." ""Yes!"" Another man turned his head and shouted. "No critical damage can be found. But the flight deck got burned a little, the crew started to fix it." "Good. Turn the front secondary armament for self-defense. Admiral, if you''re not in good condition let me handle it, okay?" Hearing the concern filled voice, I blinked and asked while in a confused state. "W-Who are you?" The explosion sounded for few times and the impact makes me stagger, it''s good that I manage to hold at something. My eyes focused at the figure beside me, she is a young woman in her mid-twenty. With bright skin and long black hair tied in a ponytail, She wears a modified scarlet kimono, short dark hakama, and also wearing a wooden samurai-like shoulder guard. Somehow this figure was familiar yet unfamiliar. The girl blinked her eyes, "Admiral... Did you forget? Good grief, let me introduce myself. I am secretary officer of Hosho Class Light Carrier, Hosho." Mysterious Fleets POV: Certain Ship Captain Aquamaire, our world was a planet with much more of water quantity. Almost 80% of it was Water, and the rest was an island, a bit scattered, though. The island divided from the large to a small island, which the small island was many to be found. There are 7 large islands that we know of yet. 3 Human Kingdom, 1 Elven Estate, 1 Dwarven Fortress, and 1 Beastman Altar. The Island could hold 100 thousand people, in a packed zone, though. They had their nations and territory, Each big nation had 15 small village island for their territory. With this limited location and distance because of water, how about the transport? Because of this, we, keep improving. there is a boat at first, then with time, some of our braves decided to venture the far sea. With the storm and dangerous creature as a challenge, our small boat would never go far before sinking. That is why large ships start to be built. We live in the Water, We blessed with the Water, and We survive in the Water. This motto becomes global and becomes a way for national diplomacy and the Alliance was formed. How can a word do something like that? Our first king was what they will say if you ask that question. Our first king, Juanar Mart Feryubary, which we call King Jean (Jin) of the Aqua Whale Kingdom decided to make a peace treatment. Which responded negatively by other nations at first. Why have we need to do that? What if you just here to aim for our rare resource!! The conflict became worse and the first history of World War was introduced. The first Naval battle was started when one of the human kingdoms, the Jade Shark decided to target the beastman land. The Jade Shark was beaten black and blue and forced to retreat, thanks to the sea mermaid who helped the beastman to poke their enemy ass. The Other Nation then using this chance to attack other land and blood started to pollute the sea, seeing this Our king started to stand and started his plan. Our kingdom was different from the other, We don''t have a speed boat from the Jade Shark Kingdom, We don''t have Twin Ships as the Crimson Horse Kingdom, not Fortress-like ships as the Dwarf, not like a Natural Navigator as a Beastman, also Not like the magic-user, Elves. So when they see a familiar medium-size ship appear, they just laugh until their stomach hurts.s However, that''s their mistake. Having a chance for advantage, Our King claims the perfect win. Which make his name remembered by everyone, as the First Wise King. And the discovery of Dragon Island. After our first King passed away, a few decades later the second world war descending on us. The Dwarf become arrogant and challenged the world, their new technology of machinery creates a new weapon of death. They call it the "Blaster", a Heavy Cannon that able to break a hole in our wooden ships. However, with the combined power of the Alliance, they were forced to kneel eventually. The new technology was shared and upgraded with their Nation''s specialty. This was the first step of another change, the Era of Adventure. Thanks to the "Blaster" they now not afraid of a sea monster and decided to sail for new land. However, the Era of Peace was ended not long after, on one night the Beastman Altar was attacked. The sudden attack put them off guard and they were forced to retreat to the Elves Estate. Seeing the sudden arrival of the Beastmans, the Elves were shocked as they thought that the Beastman want to invade them. However, seeing that only woman and kids that leading the front, the Elf Monarch decided to open their gate. The Elves'' shocked expression changed into seriousness after hearing their story and looking at the sorry state of the wounded beastman High king. The Elves understand that whoever defeated the Beastmans will rush to them and decided to call the Alliance support. That incident finally becomes the first history of the Alliance defeat, as the unknown enemy was faster, stronger, and deathly. With their darker skin, glowing red eyes, sharp claws. We call them, the Demon race. The great war was continued, resulting in many victims from both sides, many lands from each Nations was destroyed by a fast attack and the inhabitant was fleeing all around. The situation worsens until the Alliance was forced into a defensive battle inside their wall, as the enemy keeps pouring at them. Within this crisis, the Dragon race was enraged because of the disturbing noise and the polluted water, rushing out from their comfortable home and attacking the Demon race. A rain of flame was showering from above, and within a minute they were retreating while chased by the Dragons lead by a Silver Dragon. The surprise aid from the dragons, made the Alliance to start to rout the enemy line. Which then finally able to surround the enemy in the sea. The combined breath from the dragons lead by the Silver dragon did the last attack. The high-temperature breath melted all the enemy survivors and the area surrounding it. After that, the area of it started to change in color, an area around 7.5 Kimo (around 15 Kilometer) in round shape become a red. After the dragons retreated to their home, the Alliance dispersed to their land to manage their broken territory. With time, the massacre area started to get famous. They named it the "Memoir Paradise", quite a name. Because that place was where our previous warrior lost their lives before the dragons finished the enemies. At certain intervals, many families from all the races of the war victim come closer to pray for their dead family. No one knows how the water change and not spread to the surrounding, like a cage holding the soul. It becomes a place for Awe and Fear. Now another decade change, and this time our kingdom was lead by Julius Mart Feryubary, the sixth. And now, after the Demons was not attacking, The world was disturbed once again, because a group of pirate decided to create trouble. They attacking the merchant ships and stealing everything! even women. To tell the truth, the name ''Alliance'' just only in a name, as each nation always thinking of personal gain and profit. This era of adventure is more rotten than the era before. Many conflicts happened from inside and the bandit was rampaging outside. *** Somewhere in the sea. I can hear a shout and yell from my crewmates outside. I ignored them for a moment as I stare at the map in front of me, then one of my Subordinates come running at me with wet clothes reporting our damage, "Captain, our hull has more than 3 holes. We are taking in water inside the storage room!" "All right! tell the sailors to block the holes and send the rest to the deck! They will surely come to our deck. I''ll lead the battle." I shouted an order at him and approaching the cupboard and take out a small Hand Blaster. He saluted then called the order with a communication pipe.If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. I glanced at the map for a moment, "Hmm, the pirates in this location really try to hit our storage first to take down our resources. But that''s where they are wrong." With the yelling getting louder, I turned my attention at the Hand Blaster in my hand. This was a weapon from my deceased father who was a navy. A voice then called me when I started to reminisce, "Captain, they do attack us in here as the information said, but their power surprised me." I nodded at her, "It''s can''t be helped right? I have a feeling that this is maybe a trap." After checking the ammo rack inside the waist box, I sling it at my shoulder and put it sideways. I glanced at the nervous girl then walked toward the exit of the command room. Outside, an ugly ship with a skull banner sailing at the same speed while exchanging a Blaster bullet with our allies. I staggered for a moment and holds the railing in front of me, another impact? I turn to the port side and saw another ugly ship approach, I frowned. "C, Captain! How can you keep calm! Why are you just frowning in this situation!? We are surrounded! Ah?" I turn my head beside me and see the previous girl, she has long wavy dark brown hair in a pigtail resting on her shoulder, a beautiful girl with white skin. She wearing a reddish-white robe with a staff in her hand and a dagger on her waist. She started to complain at me but was suddenly shouted in surprise, I could hear an explosion on the starboard side and saw one of our fellow ''merchants'' was shot and sunk, I frowned. I turned to face the girl and touched my face, "What are you saying? This is my normal face." The girl blanked for a moment before her face warped into a panic expression as she pointed at the sinking allyship, "Captain! Please be serious, if we lose we will become a slave!" "Don''t worry." I raised my hand Blaster ahead and pulled the trigger. Bang! "Kyaa!" She screamed when seeing a figure jumped with rope from the nearest ugly ship, who have his body thrown into the sea from impact in his head. A trace of blood rained from the sky and gathered the attention of the crew. The crewmate standing at the deck turned at me who was standing above the wheel cabin. I raised my hand and yelled, "Prepare the Assault Blaster, we go to battle!" """Oooh!!""" Along with their shout, some of the crew pulled up the hidden Hand Blaster on their back. The one near the cabin door grinned as he passed a few "Assault Blaster" that were taken out by the one inside. While watching the situation, few stupid people trying to jump with the same method were shoot down. I saw below and noticed that the girl was helping the injured crew, she chanted a word while holding a staff and a bluish-white ball appear as the wound healed at amazing speed. The girl sighed in relief as she helped the other injured crew. No matter how much I see it, the might of magic ceases to amaze me. This was why I have confidence that we could win this fight. "Sir!" Before long, the previous subordinate comes beside me as he saluted. With his young face along with his good bearing and his calm expression among this chaos, no one would believe that he was one of the sailors. Because he was in fact, a Knight. I nodded at him while I still focused on the surrounding, "Mag, how are our ships?" Magion grinned, "Sir, thanks to the elven wood our defense is higher! We can stand longer." I see it''s fortunate we upgraded these ships. The elven wood was a processed wood from the elven forest and blessed by their magic, it''s strong and light, very good material but expensive. However, didn''t you forget how much damage that we got? This pirate group was strange. Then I point my finger at the ship at the starboard side which is getting near, "Good, try to sink that ship," "Pardon?" The young man showed an ''Are you kidding?'' expression. I ignored the clueless young knight and moved to the port side, pulling out a single long binocular I observed the enemy deck. Our current location was near the ''Memoir Paradise'' trading route, this closed area was the fastest route to our kingdom. But one day, there was a rumor that the Pirates claimed this place as their hunting ground. And I and my knight order were told to check this rumor. I have a bad feeling about this, so we started to disguise ourselves as a merchant group. But to think that we would meet with the pirates this fast... I shake my complaint and observed the enemy deck. On the deck of their ugly ships, I can see a row of a cage filled with people in chains. So they were just back from pirating and decided to take more extra at the journey. Trash. Hm? My face paled for a moment, and like agreeing to my horror, the crew at the crow''s nest above us yelled, "Sir, danger ahead!" "Turn this ship to the starboard! Sharp left turn! Hurry! You, signal the other to turn left!" I shouted an order at the helmsman and pointed to the signal bearer to make a command signal, a few seconds later our ship changed course but some ships unable to react in time and exploded. The debris flying everywhere and some was reached our ships, I lost another ship. I stared at the burning ship as I grit my teeth in anger. The explosion was severe and fire spread everywhere, and with loud ''bang!'' they sunk. I turned around to check again with my binocular and frowned. That was a real Dwarven Fortship, I looked up at the flag and see the skull mark. Dang it, how could those stout people lose their prized ships!? I gritted my teeth and below I could see the terrified girl on the deck. If we were getting shot, we''ll sink, the Dwarf was known for their devastating weapon. And all of us know it, it was suicide to face Dwarven Fortship with a slow-moving ship. At first, there was an idea to make an Iron ship float in the water to counter their heavy attack, but that was still impossible. It would sink because of how heavier it was, so we decided to keep using the wood. Could we outmaneuver it with our merchant ship? I should bring at least one Galley with us! Ignoring our distress, the War Machine slowly sailing at us. Hm? They moving so slow! Then I remembered, the Dwarven fortship was known for their strong offensive, but it was slow. Both in reload and sailing speed. That was why we never see the prized Dwarven Fortship far from their homeland, now we saw it sailing alone, wasn''t it the same as letting yourself to be hit? With them moving slowly, I start to ponder, "There is a bit distance between us, could we outrush that Fat ship?" "Sir, they are too far. Our Blaster can''t reach them in time before their second reload." Magion standing beside me smiled wryly. Dang, I forgot! No, my ship Luna can''t sink! I will not allow them sunk her! To our horror, the War Machine also know that their speed was low, so they prepared their two heavy Blaster and started to aim. With the dark sky as the background, this appears more frightening than we thought. Some of my crew started to tremble in fear, and I can sense that they were getting restless. Like reinforcing this dread, the night sky started to get swallowed by the dark clouds. To our surprise, a small Typhon started before turned into a sudden storm behind the Dwarven Fortship disturbed their aim, and one blaster behind unable to take control and destroyed their mainsail pole. Cheers broke from our side, but my attention was at the storm. The dark cloud of the storm was appeared so suddenly out of nowhere above the ''Memoir Paradise'' and descended, the Stormcloud was never that close to the sea surface! The storm continued with lighting flash and rumble of the wind for a few minutes and I noticed the fight was stopped, everyone was stunned seeing this happened. The storm ended but the black cloud covering our sight. But our curiosity was shaken once again. Iron- no real metal was floating on the sea! We were struck in shock seeing something we believe impossible. A group of three unknown fleets sailing straight in our eyes. What''s with that!? One ship at the front has a flat deck, so flat there was no Wheel cabin or control room. there was only one pole with a thin metal rope. How could that ship move then?? I noticed another shadow ship hidden beside it. The last was small ships, it was big as our ships but no matter what it was still metal!! This sudden appearance surprised us, no one could understand what going on. However... The one who acts first was the closer Dwarven Fortship, I think their greed clouded their mind. I just can grit my teeth. Were they going to sink? The loud boom make us dazed and saw another surprise, the flat ship receives the impact at the side and not damaged! The prided stronger Blaster was futile!? It seems that they keep trying but the metal ship didn''t bulge, Ah the upper deck is on fire. Then, there was a movement from the flat ship and I could see something moving in the middle area. Before I could take a look, I saw all people already pulled out their binoculars to observe. Then, I feel a stare and noticed that the girl at the deck looks at me with a ''Let me see'' like face, I ignored her and used my binocular right at the moment of the explosion. The flat ship fired a bullet for retaliation and damaged the pirate!! Impossible. With just one shoot and the Dwarven Fortship was broken, the three metal ships suddenly increased their speed and turned to the left. Everyone around me showed relief expression but I noticed another thing. The smaller ship produced a white smoke to cover their way, but before that, I noticed she dropped long metal things at the water. I saw it rushing to the pirate ships, it was swimming through the water while leaving a trail, like a certain magical beast. The 4 things reached the target thanks to the pirates stupidly whose only standing without moving, and exploded, we gulped our saliva thinking what would happen if we stand in their way... Two of the pirate ships including the stolen Dwarven Fortships was slowly sunk, the last ship, unfortunately, decided to escape. They didn''t manage to sail far, though. As one of our ships hit them first. "Prepare the crew, we will save the prisoner and catch the criminal!" """OOUU!!""" I heard a run step and noticed the girl stared at me with a glow on her eyes, "C-Captain, what is that thing? That mysterious fleet." "I don''t know." Between the busy sailor who prepared for a rescue mission, my sight still lingered on the place where the mysterious fleet turned its back. I don''t know why, but my feeling told me after this incident, the story of the unknown fleet would spread far. And with it, whoever had that technology could change this world. For the better or the worse. I could only pray that the balance would not tilt against us. Chapter 1-1 Sudden Crisis "What ??" Between the sound of an explosion nearby, I stared at the girl who standing in front of me in confusion. What did she say about her name again? I blinked and unable to understand her previous word. It seems she has a headache and supported her head with her hand with the expression ''What to do..." I am sorry, I just wake up and found myself in middle of a war zone! "Sigh, please rest for a moment, okay. Admiral, It seems you are tired." She shakes her head and then stares at me with soft gaze and a tired smile before slowly turned to the person beside her. "Are the secondary armament ready?" "Yes, ma''am. It¡¯s loaded and ready to fire!" The girl closed her eyes and nodded. When her eyes open, it glinted in seriousness, "Aim for their broadside." The black haired girl said a command to the person and he saluted, the man then started to speaking with a metal pipe-like tool as he explained to shot. Between my headache, my eyes found the ship who keep attacking us outside the window. Its body consist of wood with few metal plate, however its so big-no its even look too bulky to be a ships. I wonder which nation build this ship? There is no record of this type of ship anywhere, I thought. Then my eyes stared at the ship''s skull flag and a iron cage full of people, a pirate? This bizarre sight made me to forget my headache as I stared at them in wonder. What made them so insisting as they keep shooting at us? I sure that their shoot not missed us from this distance as they sailing side by side at me. This because I can feel the room shaking each shoot, but there is no worry from the other people here. If it was still the War of Worldship, this distance should be where the Close Combat Quarter where the side cannon attacking each other. But here we are, I have a strange feeling that we not taking much damage. Ah, maybe I was thrown into some action movie making and- ~BOOM!! BOOM!! Fire! there was real fire outside! the ship which attacking us was on fire from our counter attack, oh no! It''s look real! oh my, its fantastic! If I remember correctly the secondary armament of Hosho are four-single 14 cm/50 3rd Year Type guns, 2 at both side that fired 38 kilogram (84 lb) projectiles at a rate of six to ten rounds per minute! I believe I also has unlocked the upgrade that changes the previous AP bullet to HE bullet too! Wow it''s breaking them apart! Hm? "Admiral, are you alright? your face is pale." Suddenly I hear a voice beside me and I jump in surprise. I put my hand on my mouth to hold the urges to vomit. Are you kidding me? I saw a real person burned to death! It''s not a movie! the girl patted my back and I raised my head, outside I could see that there are more ships nearby. What if they are also their friends? I shivered. Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. I stand up and shouted, "Full Rudder to Right! We must leave this place, hurry!" The girl startled hearing me shouting and stare at the man behind her which he replies with a nod. As I stared at the sunken ship outside, the headaches that I ignored start to kick in. Argh, the pain. The headache become stronger as I hold my head and groaned in agony. I could feel a hand holding my shoulder while saying something. I shake my head and between my blurred vision I can see the girl with worried expression. I couldn''t hear anything anymore as the darkness claimed my vision. **** My body feels like floating, it seems like I remember this feeling before. De Javu? I open my eyes slowly and I wake up at the unfamiliar place. With a whoosh, I sit up and my head hit the metal frame above. Argh, it''s hurt! Suddenly I hear a giggle and a soft hand stroked my head, when I raised my head, I could see a familiar girl with long black hair in ponytail. She ignoref my confused face and with a smile she keep stroking my head in comfortable pace. "You are funny, Admiral. You''re just fainted and now you sure have a energy to do a wonderful leap. Is it still hurt?" "N-no, I am fine!" Ah, stupid why does I have to shout like that! it''s not cool, me! Ah she smiled again. Anyway, where am I? seeing me who keep a confused face while looking around, the girl pulled her hand and she''s look like understanding my confusion. "This is your personal room, Admiral. We are still inside Carrier as we still not found any land." "I-I see." Hearing her sentence, I put thumb and index finger on my forehead. This was my habit when I lost in thought. Its seems like all of this was real, We are suddenly thrown in this place with this historical ships. It was unfortunate for this girl to suddenly arrive in this place with me. Ah, isn''t there is another person beside us in this ships? "Erm, may I know how many people currently with us?" "The crew? Hm, there is 512 people including us. So there are 510 other people. 250 people are the Special landing force, 70 people are the Base Force, 70 people are the Defense Units, 10 people are the Communication Units, 10 people are cooks, 25 are Medic and Health Care, 50 are the Construction Battalions, and the rest are enlisted and pilot. All the crews are currently on standby." I opened my eyes in surprise, "...So many." She shakes her head, "No, Admiral. Our force was too small for a direct combat, our crew just a basic formation we had. We need more people to increase our power, but there is a bit problem, first we don''t have many Construction Battalions, with our light armour the time for repair and construction would be affected. And then-" ~Growl oops, I think my stomatch ruined the mood. look her serious expression was cramped. L-lets clear this now! I tried to keep my expression and smiled at her, "It seems I was hungry, how about we had a meal beforehand?" Different from my expectation who having a bright smile, the girl in front me throw a sigh. I suddenly have a bad premonition... "It''s sure is good suggestion, Admiral." "Then-" "However, I did''nt finished yet. The last and the biggest problem we had. We are already sailing for a few hour and we didn''t sight any islands nearby. There is also no fish below the water surface, and we-" ~gulp What else! dont suddenly stop speaking! you''re making me nervous! If a water doesn''t have any fish there is possibility of water poisoning or the worse case, a dangerous predators nearby. Feck! Are you saying that we were chased by numerous sea monster without land! We are screwed! The girls look like she understands what is on my mind and shook her head, like denied my thought. Were we chased by the pirate with their kraken pet!? "No, our biggest problem. We didn''t have any food in our storage." Chapter 1-2 Under the bright of the moonlight, a 3 metal figure sailing straight at the calm water. They sailing side by side and made a triangle formation, as the smaller ships lead the fleets. They sail without hint of hurry, sailing at the normal pace that normally look as slow, but their majestic appearance looks dominating the area. Cough. It''s cool right, my dramatic explanation? Currently I standing at the front bow of the ships underside of Carrier flight deck while staring at the calm sea. After hearing about the girl, that calling herself as Hosho about the problem of the lack of food supplies I told her that I need to think about something and headed outside which is why I currently here. Staring at the water surface as far as I can see. No islands can be found at all! I think that we are the only one who is thrown in this place, but after seeing the other two of familiar ships I can''t help but to sigh in relief. Actually I was shocked to see another ships this close, I thought we will getting shot but after the long observation I can see that they are my players comrade. I put my thumb and index finger on my forehead and thought. This is weird. As far as I can remember, We, I mean me, Aldebaran and Benstar was supposed to play the ''War of Worldships'' online computer PC game. But, how can we ended in here? I was confused, and all the people with me is 100%, japanese people. Which acting as though they are real soldier in navy squad. I turn my attention toward my comrade ships and thought, ''If they are really here, it would be good if I can contact them, but how?'' There are so many mysterious things popped in my head which I don''t know the answer of. "Admiral, are you okay?" I turn my head and saw the girl, what her name again? Hosho, sigh she sure has a unique name as she worked on the ships with the same name. "It''s fine, I just thinking about something." I turned my body and facing her, now I can see her complete figure. Her long black hair swaying behind her because of the wind. Her beautiful face was currently had a concerned smile as she stared at me. I unintentionally blushed and averted my gaze. "I-I think we need to have a communication with other ships, but I still think about it..." "You can do that, Admiral." What? I don''t understand her meaning, if I can do it, I will not hesitate! It¡¯s because I don¡¯t know what to do. Different from my expectation, suddenly a familiar screen appeared out of nowhere. Surprised me. ¡¸Benstar: Yo, Commander! Are you by any chance have any food (£à???¡ä)¡¹ There are chat windows!? What the feck! How do I to reply here? ¡¸Benstar: Yo, Commander! Are you by any chance have any food (£à???¡ä)¡¹ If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. ¡¸Benstar: Please, use your thought if you want to reply~ (£à???¡ä)¡¹ ¡¸Aldebaran: Dang, so it''s that easy !? Give me back my previous concern !!¡¹ ¡¸Keita: So, all of you are here? I almost think that I was dropped here alone.¡¹ To think that I just need to use my thought, You sure is good Benstar! And Aldebaran what do you do before? Ah, Hosho is staring at me while tilting her head in wonder. ''Please give me a second.'' I tell her and look again at the chat windows. ¡¸Aldebaran: Everybody knows what happened here? How do I suddenly appeared in the middle of Japanese navy ?¡¹ ¡¸Benstar: It¡¯s good for you, I just wake up only to be coldly stared by an angry girl! (; `§¥`)¡¹ ¡¸Keita: Calm down, You all is better! I wake up only to feel explosion close to my ear!¡¹ ¡¸Keita: Oops, sorry. please continue.¡¹ ¡¸Benstar: Right, as I said before. Do you have any food? (, =-=)/¡¹ ¡¸Keita: Nope¡¹ ¡¸Aldebaran: None¡¹ It¡¯s bad, so Aldebaran and Benstar didn¡¯t have any food either? There is no problem right now, however, with the time, there will be some complaint from the crews. ¡¸Benstar: Anyway, is it originally a time where we go a panic and screaming like an idiot because of sudden change of location? (, =-=)/¡¹ ¡¸Aldebaran: You have a point, but I will pass. Thanks.¡¹ ¡¸Keita: Right, I don''t want to be looked down as weird person. But, Benstar has the point. Except for a painful headache, I seem calmer than ever.¡¹ Right, as Benstar said I don''t have a complete panic or freaked out as we appear at unknown place. I know I have ability to adapt faster, but this sense of calm is weird. Not like I hate it either. The girl, Hosho fortunately just standing behind me. ¡¸Aldebaran: We can discuss this later. What we need to do is to secure the food supplies¡¹ ¡¸Benstar: However there are no fish in the water (, ~3~)¡¹ ¡¸Aldebaran: What do we do, Commander ?¡¹ As I thought, they will throw it to me. I turn toward Hosho and nodded my head. We headed inside to the command room. Opening the door there are 15 people here beside me and Houshou, 3 people of each box like monitor. I walked inside and all the people stand up while give a deep respect bow at me. Hosho lead me to the middle room where the highest seat with fluffy sofa and let me sit. It''s comfortable. She stands behind me with a straight posture. Concealing my nervous I giving an order the same as my comrade. ¡¸Keita: For now, we sail straight. Increase the speed but don''t break the formation.¡¹ I think there will be a chance for us to keep sailing straight, than to move to a different route. I hope I didn''t make any mistake. Unknownly, the surrounding sea surface was full of invisible mist which becomes more denser as we sail forth. Chapter 1-3 Without us notice another hours have passed, and the night is coming. As we keep sailing, we still cannot find any islands either. As far as I know there aren''t any direct complaint from our crew, however, the awkward atmosphere and a soft sound of stomach grumble can be heard inside the command room. The loyalty of their sure is amazing, even when their stomach complaining, they didn''t dare to voiced their problem. Especially about the lack of vision. Somehow as we sail this far, our vision was hindered by an invisible white mist that becomes denser. We can''t see anything beyond 10 m ahead and this makes the crew become more nervous. The other 2 ship was sailing close to make sure we do not lose each other. I hope we found the food soon, to improve this situation. I thought as I turn my attention toward the floating screen in front of me. [Menu] [Ship Name: Hosho] [Type: Light Aircraft Carrier] [Owner: Keita] [Condition: Normal (Green)] This is the basic status screen of the game ''War of Worldships''. As We, me, Aldebaran, and Benstar keep chatting at the Chat Windows we discovered that we can still call the system menu using our thought. Currently, we ended our chat and try to discover something new to help us to get home. Hm, I still don''t get anything yet. I imagined an invisible pointer and clicked the Menu button. [Menu] [Credit : 6 541 954] [Port : Unavailable] [Module] [Crew : 512] [Profile] I clicked the Profile and there is my picture wearing white Admiral uniform. Is it equipment windows or something? I don''t get it. With a swing of my hand, I make the screen disappeared, squashing the hungry with will power and turn my head toward Hosho who still standing behind me. "Can you tell me more about the Crew? and our resources?" I couldn''t help but ask her because the crew never existed in the game, and I am a bit interested with the medical team. Do they have their own lab and medical supplies? Somehow she smiled as if she waiting for this. "Yes, the 250 Special Landing Force, 70 Base Force, and 70 Defense Units Currently helped as a multitasking sailor. 4 Communication Units are currently inside this room the other 6 is checking the hangar, the medical team currently still inside their room at the middle hull, the cooks at the back, and the Construction Units still checking our resources. the last 50 are enlisted pilots." "I see..." I put an understanding expression while nodded at her word. However, in the inside, I didn''t even understand at all! Maybe I will start touring this ships later. Oh right, there is something I want to know. Before I able to speak, I sense something soft hitting my face. It feels like a soft ice cream splashed into your face. It''s uncomfortable and cold but it suddenly disappeared. Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there. What was that? I shake my head and wiping my face with both hands. Feeling nothing is wrong I turn toward Hosho. "Do you feel that?" "Feel what?" "No, nothing. Ah, I want to ask. Are you by any chance the only female crew here?" I try to ask her about the splash feeling but it seems Hosho didn''t feel it at all. Is it just my imagination? And for my answer, she replied that there are other female crews beside her. Surprisingly the cook''s crew was all but women. The Medical unit has 18, and the enlisted pilot was only one. I see, well is it good I wonder. I turn my attention forward and I can see some crew was trembled or swayed for a second. Please, bear with it. We will find the food soon! I unconsciously giving them an imaginary thumb up. "You know Admiral? Akiyama-san in front of you is a talented person! He was one of the best Special Landing Force and his ability of Communication is splendid. To tell the truth everyone here can be called the Elite of our force!" Oh is that so? I couldn''t help but make a smirk hearing Houshou suddenly made a proud introduction while leaned her body sideway and facing me with a smile, she stumbled forward and for my worry, she do a perfect spin before leaned forward and looking a bit upward at me with a happy expression. I blinked for a second. Good grief, this girl sure is something. Speaking of which I just know that this person who called Akiyama was the person who always listening to Hosho when we are attacked last time. He sure has a military body. Hm? Suddenly Akiyama-san stands up from his seat while swaying his body a little like having a minor deficiency balance, he didn''t turn around and just stand there while his both hand hanging. "Akiyama-san?" I try to call him but he didn''t reply and just silently stand there, Hosho who noticed this turned her body and approach him. Wait, why is everyone so quiet? I sense something is suspicious and an uncomfortable feeling hitting my mind. Different for my worry, Hosho already behind Akiyama-san and pat his shoulder? Before I give a warning, with a tilted head she uses her hand to forcefully turn him around with ease even when he towered her. I sigh in relief. It seems he look normal. "Akiyama-san? Are you al-" However just after Hosho opened her mouth, Akiyama''s eyes shined and with a soft growl, he pounced on her with full strength. Chapter 1-4 Suddenly Akiyama pounced on Hosho and grab her shoulder, she whimpered because of the strength and forced backward. Akiyama growled and about to bite her neck, Hosho reacted quickly and slap his both hand from below. She didn''t let him recover, grab his hand while spinning and bump her back at him, when he lose his balance with a shout she does a perfect Shoulder Throw. ~Bang Akiyama¡¯s neck hindquarters hit the metal floor and stop moving. However when she just sighing in relief, the other crew inside already standing up and acted like Akiyama. "Everyone cut it-" While Hosho wiping out her sweat, she started speaking only to be disturbed by their growl. Like Akiyama, their eyes shined and rushed toward Hosho. Startled she started hitting them with her palm, she makes sure to not hurt them and aim at their chin. However, they keep rushing and Hosho started to overwhelmed by them. Within a second they lock Hosho movement and surrounded her. She trying to break free but their grip was stronger, so she groaned in pain. What''s going on here!? I who still dumbfounded seeing this rapid change was unable to understand and just stand there in silent. Wait it''s not the time like this!! When I saw that one of them try to tear her clothes, I charged in madness and hit the one holding Hosho back. And to my surprise, my attack didn''t even damage it. They ignored me and focused on attacking their prey. Hosho screamed and I was started to panic, I keep hitting him with my both hand while gritting my teeth. My face turned pale. Am the leader, right? How do I don''t have a super power in this world? Isn''t it where the summoned have OP power!? Dang, it! I cursed in my mind and keep trying, how can they ignore me here! I try to body checked him. Fortunately, I hit him hard on his neck and his grip slacken. Seeing this chance Hosho headbutt the one in front of her and pull the left one. Not expecting this the man in front of me take a step backward and thrown me up. Feck what with that power! While groaning and trying to stand up, I can see Hosho started to run here while holding her messed up kimono, her ponytail was ruined as her long hair swayed backward. "Admi- Ahck!" When she try to speak one of them grab and yanked her hair, I rushed and kick his face. However seeing he still stand up I have paled again. I kick him continuously but it still doesn''t work. Seems like he started to get furious and grab my feet while growling. "What the Feck!" I accidentally cursed loudly while started to feel fear. Houshou beside me gritting her teeth and while enduring the pain she does a back kick and it hit his stomach losing his grip and Hosho and I retain our freedom. "Follow Me." I grab her hand and rushing deep into the Command room. My attack isn''t working and there are so many of them, I will only be baggage and make Hosho in danger. With a growl behind us, my heartbeat increased and I rushed inside. Without waiting I forcefully close the iron door only it is stopped at half way. As I don''t have much attack power, I decided to find us a safe zone, lucky my personal room just behind this room. But... "They already here!?" To my surprise, I already in push competition with them and I am surely losing! With a bang, Hosho helped beside me and with a loud creak, we manage to close it. I lock it while the constant banging makes me more nervous. Unfortunately, We can''t feel relieved as the ship that sailing suddenly do a forced break and our body was thrown forward. As I standing at door Hosho crashed on me and we ended on the floor. It''s hurt! Does someone who piloting these ships were also taken down!? ¡¸Benstar: Danger! We are under attack! (; `§¥`)¡¹ This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there. When I groaned in agony chat windows appeared in a vision to only make me pale. ¡¸Aldebaran: Same! all the crew started to attacking my Waifu! Curse them!¡¹ ¡¸Benstar: Oh, you have waifu? (£à???¡ä)¡¹ ¡¸Aldebaran: Is it Treason!? ¡¹ ¡¸Benstar: No its Zombie outbreak! ('' o_o)¡¹ Reading the next chat, it seems that the other ships felt the same fate. I sighed and glanced at Houhou on top of me. Oops, I saw something I should never have. I forcefully avert my attention. "H-Hosho-san, c-can you fix your Kimono?" "Ah! I am sorry!" She blinked at my word and stared at her own body, seeing it she jumped while have her face was red. While she repaired her clothes, I take a peek at the small dusty glass and see the 5 figure who standing with their body swaying. Bad. ¡¸Aldebaran: Does everyone noticed that they only targeting a woman!?¡¹ ¡¸Benstar: I see so they are just ''Hungry'' and want to take a dessert? (£à???¡ä)¡¹ ¡¸Aldebaran: I am not kidding! It''s lucky I visited the girl''s room and manage to save them all.¡¹ ¡¸Benstar: Wait, why did you go to the girl''s room? (£à???¡ä)¡¹ ¡¸Aldebaran: ...¡¹ ¡¸Aldebaran: So, where are you right now ?¡¹ I face palmed seeing their carefree chat but my attention was focused on Aldebaran chat. No wait, I don''t feels jealous about him going to the girls room! W-What am focused was the one about target, It''s make sense as they are ignoring me. This Information struck me and I paled, do we have another Woman crew!? I jumped and rushed toward the communication pipe and shouted. "To the all woman Crew! If you listen to this notice, Lock your door and don''t let any man inside! I repeat Lock your door, and if you ended with any man make sure to hide!" It''s not like I racist or anything, but my mind telling me that all the men''s was turned. I hope it''s not. Well, am not, though. With ding another notification from the chat brought my attention. ¡¸Benstar: This is surely a Zombie outbreak! (£à???¡ä)¡¹ ¡¸Aldebaran: Stop Joking !¡¹ ¡¸Benstar: But, don''t you want to bash a slow zombie (, -3-)/¡¹ ¡¸Aldebaran: ...¡¹ Zombie? This word make me shudder. But we dont have any food, we would only ended as Zombie food or die in starvation. I grip my pale hand and started to look around to find any weapon. I stand up and grab a long metal stick, I dont have power but a hard metal stick will do. When I preparing myself, I notice a soft hand holding my pale hand. I look up and see a worried Houshou. "Admiral, they are your crews. Please dont hurt them." "But-" "No, please. They are only sick! They aren''t like what you have in mind. Dont kill them, they are all talented person." Hearing her word I feels complicated, Its true that they are good person. But isn''t it a naive thinking? Seeing her pleading expression I loosened up my grip, and trembled. With a nod of understanding I turn my attention toward the chat windows. ¡¸Benstar: But, don¡¯t you want bashing a slow zombie (, -3-)/¡¹ ¡¸Aldebaran: ...¡¹ ¡¸Keita: No, you can''t do that.¡¹ ¡¸Keita: I will think of something, just stand there.¡¹ ¡¸Benstar: Roger that Commander ( £à^`)7¡¹ ¡¸Aldebaran: Will do Commander¡¹ I smiled seeing their understanding behavior and nodded again toward Houshou, she smiled gently and nodded too. Now what do I do ?I put my thumb and index finger on my forehead and think about something. Houshou just sitting beside me with gentle expression. [Admiral, please help me !!] A sudden shout from the communication pipe broke my concentration, We rushed forward and approach it. [Please, my sister still outside !] [She is with the other pilots inspecting the hull. We send one of the female crew to check her, as we...] [...We don''t believe it. However, they attacking us! Please help her, please save my sister !] Chapter 1-5 [...Please save my sister!] This word shakes my mind, we are currently trapped in this room but, deep in my mind, I have the sense to help them. It''s troubled me when I feel a soft hand grasped my hand. "It¡¯s fine, Admiral. Don''t force yourself. Let me-" "No, you can''t! Are you understand that you are being targeted! There is so many of them out there!" Unconsciously I shouted at Hosho and startle her. Sorry. With a sad expression on her face, I averted my eyes and stare at the iron stick in my hand. Right. I will do it. No, it''s a must. Whatever happened here, it seems strange that I as a man didn''t turn like them. Just what the hell is going on! Well, it''s not like I hate I didn''t turn like them. "Hosho, do you know where are they?" Without I notice I asked Hosho about their location, it seems stupid seeing that she always stay with me. How can she know their whereabout? However, she closed her eyes like meditating and wore a serious expression. Don''t tell me, you really know about that! In my dumbfounded expression, Hosho nodded and opened her eyes. "I found them, they are inside the gun store rooms in the middle hull just below us. More precisely they are inside one of the rows of guns storage vault. They throw all the weapon beside one they have to outside, so Admiral will surely notice their location." So detailed! Are you sure you are not a mage or something? I smiled at her and preparing myself. Then I noticed Hosho started to fidgeting and I smiled. "Don''t worry, I will not try to kill them. I swear. This is just for self-defense okay?" "No, it¡¯s just... If-if you find them... Can you make sure not to- to stare at her too much?" "What?" I was confused by the Hosho who has a red face and keep fidgeting. What do you mean by not staring at ''her''? and who do you mean by ''Her''? I who keep my idiot expression was mysteriously glared by her. What is my fault!? "Ju-just bring this! and don''t throw it away, got it!?" Hosho suddenly pushed me a long piece of cloth and shouted, which resulting a banging from outside. Hosho please keep your voice down! The banging intensified and we paled. Before long, the banging ended and we sighed in relief. "See they reacted to you, especially by voice. It''s fortunate that they will not attack me. So I want you to keep silent and stay here." If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. "Okay, but please remember. After Admiral save them, I suggest heading to the medical room. It''s would make them feels better to stay with the one they know." Oh, I almost forget to ask about the one who asks the request. It turned to be the one on the medical group it seems. I approached the door and take a peek from the small windows, its seems that they are currently away from here. Good. Hm? since when the windows out there opened? I stare at the white mist which pouring in from the open windows and shrugged, I hope this will disturb their vision. I steal a glance at Hosho and give her a nod which she also replies with a nod. I take a deep breath before slowly open the door. I just make sure to open it big enough to let me slip through and then close it. Seeing the closed door, I sigh and turn around just only to meet an expressionless face near my own. His white eyes really want me to shout in surprise. I hold my mouth and backing up while my heart is beating fast. Hell! he is too close! I noticed that the one in front of me was Akiyama, He slowly move while taking a sniff at me! I make sure to stand close to the wall and move awkwardly, somehow all the people inside started to take a sniff and I paled. With a willpower, I raced to the exit door while making sure to avoid them. Somehow they didn''t attack me at all. Is it because of the thick mist or something? While my thought occupied, I already arrive near the command room door. With a sigh, I turned to back. ~Stare Feck! all of them turn their attention to me, even with the mist they stared straight at my location. Their white eyes really look terrifying If- if by any chance they move, I will Hit them! ~Sret ~Slam! Safe! To think that they will move to me at the same time! Somehow, when I grip my metal stick with both hands, they reacted with a tremble before moving at me! It¡¯s lucky I manage to get out in time! Hm? I noticed that the corridor ouside was somehow full of people. Their milky white eyes was staring at me. one, two, three... Erm, yeah, it''s too many to count! However even when they just having a white eyes, I can feels their gaze at me- No, at the metal stick on my hand. They staring at it for a second before throw an angry growl. It looks like it would not easy as I thought... Chapter 1-6 POV: Certain Carrier Medic Crew My name is Yamamori Sakiko, I was one of the medic crews of the Japanese Aircraft Carrier, Hosho. I with my fellow crew was prepared for a battle as usual, our Admiral, Keita was a person with strange personality. He was quite good at controlling Hosho and manage to land a hit with her Torpedo Squadron, however, it still doesn''t change the fact that Hosho armor was thin. When the battle started, Admiral Keita always decided to move not like the other Hosho or the other Aircraft Carrier who decide to stand still. So it''s couldn''t be helped to know that our Hosho was sunk by the enemy fast Destroyers, In fact, we always sunk by Destroyers, and sometimes by the slow Battleships! It''s sound stupid! However, after he meets and forms a Divisions with the other Ship Owner, our battle was ''Improved''. By Improved was the survival were not to sunk by the enemy Destroyers, nor their Cruiser, but by the same Aircraft Carrier! There is a time where we are resting from the battle as Admiral Keita decide to use another ship type for a battle, however, he always changes back to us from unknown reason. There are so many ships and with higher power than us!? Why? Somehow, we feel something warm from him. We know that this ship is slow. We don''t have a very far and stronger cannon, we have a thin armor, even sometimes we lose in Air combat against the same tier from foreign Nations. But, Aircraft is still a Aircraft. We still have a superior ability than the other type, and our Admiral knows it. A little by little he improve his control and we started to show our talent. Hosho-san was delighted with this. However, the certain unknown storm sweeps us onto this unknown place- No, unknown World, where we are suddenly attacked after our arrival. Now in this world, Our Admiral was once again started to be tested against the odd. ~Bang There is loud sound outside and I trembled. We are supposed to sail to find the food supplies but in the middle of it, the crews turned into a beast and attacking us. At first, we don''t believe for him who suddenly accused our crewmate, but Hitomiya Haruhi feels uneasy and wanted to find her sister. After the long search, when I try to hide and run. I found her, Hitomiya Hibiki was in middle of them. They push her to the metal floor while growling. I can hear scream and sound of tearing. Somehow with a reckless rush, I manage to save her but there is the price. My coat was in tatters and on my back, long clawing mark can be seen. If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. This wound is nothing than Hibiki-san beside me, she had many claw and bite wound in her yellowish white skin. We must get out from here and fix this wound, I hope there are no infections. ~Bang There is another loud bang nearby and we started to feel tensed. I grip the only weapon I had and I will hit them and run if they really found us here. Make sure that Hibiki-san stands behind me, I am preparing myself. There is ''Clack clack'' sound as the doorknob was used, In few second the door opened and I swung at him with full force. ~Klang He defended against my attack!? We feel fear and I try to swing it once again. "Wait wait! It¡¯s me!" "Eh?" I stopped midways and see his figure, wearing a white uniform and a medal of rank, I can understand that this boy was our Admiral. His figure of a man with torn up uniform like having a hard fight but no wound can be seen in his body, holding a metal stick, looks like a legendary warrior. However, yes however that image was broken by certain thing within him. "A-Admiral isn''t that... hurt?" Hibiki-san beside me ask while pointed at the round object at his shoulder, which he reply with tearing expression "Of course it''s hurt~" I can sense a stare at the round object in his shoulder and I blinked. Aren''t that, a head? My guess was right, as a familiar face appeared. It seems he was currently biting Admiral''s shoulder and now was staring at us. I glance further behind him and see a dozen of them and they steadily approaching. I glance at him with the expression ''What do you mean by this?'' "There is certain someone who wants to save you, don''t worry I came to help." Admiral showed a bright smile, however, I can see a cold sweat running down his neck. I glanced at the still gnawing crew and then at him. Stupid! Stupid! This one is Stupid! "ADMIRAL.YOU.ARE.BAAKKAA!!!" ~Slam I shouted at this unreasonable person and slam the door. There are loud growl and many footsteps and loud scream. Hosho-san, are sure this one is sane!? Chapter 1-7 Sorry for the wait!! _______________________________________________ Hello, this is Redi-No, please call me Keita here. We, I mean me, Aldebaran and Benstar decided to call ourself by our IGN (In Game Name). Let see, I am currently in rescue mission! I was in the middle of escaping, though. "Waaaa!!" Dang it, am I crazy!? Why in the hell am speaking to myself even though am being chased by rabies monster! Eh, do they have rabies? ~Growl In front of me another one jumped from the corner of the corridor and gave me a growl, I planing to swing my weapon but decided to duck instead. I do a roll and hear a sound of collision behind me. I have thought about their condition but I didnt dare to turned back and keep running. Now, I think I have lost them. Where am I? I remember getting out from the control room and running downward when they chase me, I just run straight. Hm? there are another opened windows? I glance at the window beside me and closed it, the mist doesn''t do any good and the wind is cold. I remembered the windows at the control room and shrugged, I will close it later. While looking at the surrounding with cautious, I make sure to understand my location. Yup, I really lost... ~klang What is that ! I hear something and prepared myself in awkward battle stance, while glaring to find any suspicious thing. However what I can saw just empty dim corridor. I relaxed my tense muscle and sighed. This situation really make me nervous, I really hate horror movie. As I thought that another ''klang'' sound sounded again make jump in fright and dropped my metal stick. I hurriedly squated to take it back before it rolling away. [Psst, Admiral. it''s me Houshou.] I could hear the echoed voice of Hosho and sigh in relief, I turned my head and saw a communication pipe. "You surprised me, what is it? you know that this communication tool will spread your sound all over the room!?" Hearing Hosho who decided to speak with the communication tools, I scold her because she can endanger herself, but when I hear my own word I were dumbfounded. Her sound will heard all over the room! Genius! it will confuse and attract their attention away! An evil smile spread trough my face. [Admiral, don''t be full of yourself, you aren''t safe yet. I just going to tell you that you are heading the wrong direction.] My smile crumbled and changed into surprise. I have many questions for her but held it. [Please turn back, and move forward around 10 m ahead there is corridor beside the stair you have skiped, after you found three junction please turn left the destination can be seen at the room on the left side.] Before I reply, with a beep Hosho stopped speaking. Are you a high-tech GPS? It''s detailed. You sure you aren''t cyborg? To my surprise I can hear Houshou [No sir.] from the communication tool before she stoped speaking again. I made a poker face before staring at the pipe in silence before I turned back and followed her instruction. After I reach the stairs I can see a corridor at the left side hidden by a iron plate from the stairs, wow, if other people doesn''t know it they will just passed this corridor. I blamed my poor awareness and droped my shoulder while walking inside. Suddenly, just before I passed the stairs a pair of hand hold my shoulder and right arm and forcefully pulled me to the dark side below the stairs. It''s so sudden that I can''t even react at all, I feel a sting pain on my left shoulder and I screamed in pain. Argh, its hurt ! When I glanced over my shoulder I can see a expressionless face and a sense of fear flowed through my mind. I am too careless! "Get away from me!!" I struggled to break free but was overpowered and he started to gnawing my shoulder. Arrgh !! I am gonna die !! His bite tore through my skin and with force pull I lost piece of my skin, the blood flowed and driped down to the floor. I screamed because he didn''t satisfied with mouthful meat and bite my wounded shoulder. He strengthen his bite and I can feels my bone cracked. He gonna tore my arm ! My left hand was done for, before I droped the metal stick I take it with my right hand and hit his head. Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation. Am sorry Hosho-san, I can''t die here ! I keep swinging at his head but the strength slowly leaving my body,am too much losing blood. He growl and in my despair he swated the stick away. I can''t feels my left hand anymore and slowly I kneeled on the bloodied floor. My body trembled and I keep struggled with my right hand, I clawed, punched, slapped, but it doesn''t do anything. ~Krack "Arrrgh!!!" After torturing me, he finally tore my arm and dropped it. Before long he bites my neck and blood sprayed outward, my scream ended and I fall to the floor bathed in my own blood. Am sorry... Hosho. I can''t save them... Sorry... Mother... The darkness enveloped me. [Admiral, stop daydreaming and move already!] I suddenly hear Hosho frantic voice and gasped, I hear something nearby and turned my head. I can see the previous soldier still gnawing my shoulder, but he can''t tear my uniform. What ? [It seems that they only have super human strength, but their bite is weak. So please stop it and move already !!] I jumped in surprise from Hosho sudden shout and even the soldier behind me jumped in surprise before continued to bite my shoulder. Hey, it''s not a candy! Then, I can slightly hear a banging noise from the other side of Hosho. [I am fine! just save them first before you come over here.] I grinded my teeth before walking while drag the soldier in my back, dang even he didn''t tear it, it still hurt. On the way I found another of them and I hit their leg in frustation. ~Bang There is another one who leaped at me from the side, I relaxed my body and my body were pulled by the freeloader at my back. It seems he didn''t want to share his candy. The one who leaped at me ended flying past me and perfectly and intimately kissed the wall. ~Bang I strengthen my muscle and draged the free loader again, feck, can you stop it. Am not a candy !! He ignore my glare and keep gnawing like its something normal in the world. I arrive at the location and see a pile of guns infront of the weapon vault. Got ya. With a hard work, I finally arrive at the front of it and stare at the pile of guns in curious. Wow, isn''t it- [Admiral, stay focused !] Okay mom. I shake my head after hearing Hosho voice and change my focus toward the weapon vault. Somehow the banging noise keep getting louder, I hope Hosho is alright. To my surprise, the doorknob isn''t locked and I easily open it, only to be greeted with swinging weapon. ~Klang I manage to block it, but before I sighed in relief the attacker ready to swung another. "Wait wait! it''s me!" "Eh?" I saw two girls inside and nodded my head, the one in front wearing tattered doctor robe glare at me in suspicious while the one behind suddenly pointed at me. "A-Admiral isn''t that... hurt?" Ah, I forget about the freeloader. The stinging pain that I forcefully forget appeared again. Before I opened my mouth to make them help me, the one with doctor robe shouted at me. "ADMIRAL.YOU.ARE.BAAKKAA!!!" ~Slam She slammed the door and it makes the other behind me growl in anger before rushing at me. Oh boy. I relaxed my body and make it as light as possible, the free loader still isn''t lose his grip on me and swung my body like a doll. He evaded all of them while keep biting at me. Sob, somehow I started to teared up. I don''t know what to think about it, but our (Not)mutual understanding is amazing. Maybe we can become a good battle team! This sarcasm make me cry. Before long all of them ended to be a mountain of body, wow, it¡¯s a good combo! I strengthen my muscle and drag the freeloader while staring at the rude person inside the certain vault. Now then, what will I do? Chapter 1-8 Sorry for the wait!! You know, this week, and from the week before I really feel so sleepy and can''t leave my bedroom without my family shout at me. Lol. Oh, my dear readers, do you have something to help me to keep wake up, it will really help me... Lol Anyway, this is the Chapter!! _______________________________________________________________ After I make sure no movement from the pile of the body at the side, I walk again toward the weapon vault but this time I just knock it twice. "Hello~ Can you come out?" "..." There is no response and before I knock it again, the door slowly opened. Before it opens wide, the previous doctor robe girl makes a surprise face before trying to close it again. Not like I let her thought, I slip my toes inside and blocked it. "Wait, we must get out of here! Please don''t waste any times !" "... B-but there is one b-behind you, Admiral" Ah, that''s true. I glance at the gnawing soldier at my shoulder and noticed that he already stopped to bite it as he keeps staring at the woman in front of me, he sniff at something and me didn''t let this opportunity go. I push him with my back as strong as I can, even though it just make him move a few millimeters I continued with a head butt. When he staggered I swing my iron stick at his feet and make him dropped to the floor. Then I rolled him to make him face the floor. I don''t know why, but if I ''flip'' them to the floor they will have hard times to back up standing. They will flap their hand and feet like a turned-over turtle without able to move. I glance at the pile of bodies which having a same strange movement without any good result, I mean when the bottom side has a good start he will knock by the one above, with a sigh I turn my head toward the girls. "See, it''s done. Now we have to move." However, what all I see is a stupefied face of two girls with their mouth opened wide. They staring at me then at the pile of bodies. I sighed, then I stare at their condition. The one at the front is a girl with tattered white robe, inside her robe she is wearing a tight blue-green uniform. She has a sweat covered her face like enduring some pain with some of her short hair in a mess, then at her back is another girl with long black hair. She looks worse than the other, there are scratch and bite mark all over her skin. She trembled as she hugged her bare body. Oops, without I notice I staring at her for too long and averted my eyes in a hurry as I feel a dead stare from both of them. S-so, that is why Hosho told me to bring this piece of cloth? "Here..." As I make sure to not turn my head and pulled out the long cloth that they take it without waiting for me to finish my word. As I hear a sound of rustle I turn my attention to the front door to guard it. "Admiral, we are ready." The doctor girl called me from behind and I nodded my head, the long cloth was used to cover the breast area, it seems that the cloth isn''t big enough to be used as a robe and used as temporary and crude bra instead. "Wait a second." The doctor girl suddenly pulled out a syringe from inside her robe while approaching the soldier that previously bite my shoulder, then with a professional move she stabbed the needle and taking the blood until the syringe is full. While I cringed seeing as she calmly does that, she nodded her head in satisfied expression and she turned toward me with a smile ''For a blood sample.''. After we exited the room, I glance at my surroundings and started to ask the doctor girl. "Do you know where is the Medical room?" They showed a confuse expression while tilting their head like saying ''What are you saying, Admiral ? Are you sick ?'' A vein popped in my forehead, did you expect me who suddenly awake in this historical Aircraft carrier to lead you to the right room? Seeing me who didn''t move, they look at each other and make a realization face. Somehow they make an ''I see'' like face, but I doubt they have the same mind as me. Maybe they will think I ask them to find a shortcut or something. After they finished with their silence discussion, the doctor girl stepping forward. You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version. "I know the shortest route." Yup, this misunderstanding is quite fortunate for me. As I nodded my head, all three of us started to move with the doctor girl as the guide. **** Few minute later with hiding and run tactic with a little fight with leg sweep we manage to arrive at the Medical room. We know it as there is red ''+'' pict above the door. ~Knock knock "Sister, it''s me! Please open the door!" The girl with a crude bra, which her name was Hibiki knocking the front door while calling her sister. Me? I make sure to stay a few meter away because of the growling girl beside her. No, she isn''t turned or anything. She just glaring dagger at me with hostility with ''Don''t you dare come near.'' expression. I-I not sad or anything, you know! I-I was doing a guard job! Well, maybe it''s my fault, before we arrive here we meet with the turned soldiers. As they saw the two girls beside me they rushed at us and we ended in a little fight. Somehow, one of them appear to us and land a hit at Hibiki. Seeing as she falls to the floor, the doctor girl, Sakiko rushed to intercept. But she was overwhelmed instead. Before its turned worse I dashed at them and kick his knee and sweep the other''s leg with my metal stick, somehow the stick was stuck between the stack and that is the last weapon in my stock. I let go my only weapon and carried Hibiki and Sakiko away and we ran. After a few minute, I stopped running and glanced around to see any of them before sighing in relief. "...Admiral, can you let us go?" Hearing Sakiko word which is full of hostility I glanced at them and jumped as far as I can. My hand was... I turn my attention from my both hand and at Hibiki and Sakiko who currently hugging their chest. Gulp, what with this cliche situation! Now, they are on guard even when they near me... sob ~Kreeak The door of the Medical room slowly opened and a girl head popped from inside while gesturing us to come inside. Without waiting we''re rushed inside and the door closed shut. Between my vision, I can see Hibiki was being hugged by another girl in tear while Sakiko has a discussion with a group of girl. It''s quite amazing really, because as far as I see there are girl and girls. Is it because they are young or they just look younger. I smiled before open the Chat Windows in my mind. ¡¸Keita: Hey guys, how is there?¡¹ There is quite a commotion ahead and I saw the other girls started to surround Sakiko as she showed a syringe with a blood sample, I shrugged and turn my attention as there is a reply from the other. ¡¸Keita: Hey guys, how is there?¡¹ ¡¸Aldebaran: Nothing much happened¡¹ ¡¸Benstar: I am hungry.. (¡¡????? )¡¹ ¡¸Keita: ...¡¹ ¡¸Keita: A-anyway, Do any of you find something? I already meet the turned soldiers and found something. They only have physical strength, however, their bite is weak. So I believe they are not a zombie.¡¹ ¡¸Aldebaran: Wow, that''s shocking...¡¹ ¡¸Aldebaran: But that isn''t enough to prove it wrong, did they bite you? did you feel something wrong with your body?¡¹ ¡¸Keita: One of them do bite me, but it¡¯s not enough to tear my clothes. But I do have claw injuries, though.¡¹ ¡¸Benstar: I found something about the system (£à???¡ä)¡¹ ¡¸Aldebaran: What is it ¡¹ ¡¸Keita: What is it ¡¹ Benstar found something !? This is something that can be our way to save us! Maybe. However before I can see the reply from Benstar, my hand suddenly pulled by someone and make me to glance at who it was. And what I can saw is a crowd of girls surround me. What is going on? "Admiral, I am sorry to say this..." "Yeah, but we must do it you know..." "Can you help us, please?" Gulp. Three girls who standing in front of me started speaking with pleading expression as right with the other, I don''t know their name but I notice one of them was Hibiki sister. I-I don''t know what going on here, but do I have a choice to say no? I believe I will surely drown if I refuse them or am I? I nervously nodded my head which they reply with silent cheers while pulled a syringe from their pocket, Yes, all of them holding one. Oh no. Did that one have bigger needles? Chapter 1-9 This the second release this day! Enjoy (Maybe) Time to sleep! __________________________________________________________ ¡¸Aldebaran: I see! that''s nice information you have there!¡¹ ¡¸Benstar: Ho ho ho... it''s nothing! (*¡ä¦Ø£à*) ¡¹ After a few hour of blood sucking- No it¡¯s not an hour, j-just a few minute, b-but if you spend a few second with 5 syringes stabbed to slowly take out your blood from your body, you will think that the time is so slow that you think that it¡¯s already an hour! It''s miracle I still alive after that much of that, They sure know how to do that. They somehow so eager to take a sample from me! Look at their shining eyes! Doctors are scary! And because of that, I already passed the information from Benstar and as I slowly moved my weak body because of loss of blood, the chat already ended like that. Orz Where is the info, you danghead! The chat already stacked with a useless chat about this and that, did they do that in coincide! Do you want me to death in curious! C-calm down! phew, I almost explode in anger. lets just calmly ask them again. Yes. ¡¸Keita: Sorry, I passed the topic! Tell me again.¡¹ ¡¸Aldebaran: Oh, is that so? how about you tell Commander again, Benstar.¡¹ ¡¸Benstar: No worry! (£à???¡ä)¡¹ ¡¸Benstar: Please follow my instruction! (£à^ ?^¡ä)¡¹ ¡¸Benstar: First, open the screen menu. ('' ^-^)6¡¹ Screen menu? ah, over here. I followed Benstar and opened the screen menu like pressing the invisible button in the corner of my vision. [Menu] [Ship Name: Hosho] [Type: Light Aircraft Carrier] [Owner: Keita] [Condition: Normal (Grey)] Erm, here is the menu, then? Ah, the condition is normal but it¡¯s colored gray? Hm, I think I familiar with this, I shrugged and turn toward the chat window. ¡¸Aldebaran: Are you done, Commander? The condition becomes gray because we are currently in ''idle'' state. ¡¹ ¡¸Benstar: Hey, don''t steal my word! ('' ==)9¡¹ ¡¸Keita: Okay, now what?¡¹ ¡¸Benstar: Oh right, then please press the Type button. ('' ^-^)6¡¹ I pressed the Type button as told and the loading screen appeared. [Please wait...] [Now Loading the data... 2%] [2.5%] [2.6%] Too long!! Did you expect me to wait patiently!! I swear if it''s not worth, I will not strangle you to death, Benstar!! Breath in, breath out... Phew. I ignore the too long loading screen and turn toward the doctor team. It seems that they made a 3 group. The first group was focused with test tube and that sort of thing, the second group currently checking and treated Hibiki and Sakiko injury, and the last group was experimenting with the captured male doctors. Erm, they are your own people, right? What with your obsession? with the light in the room which suddenly become dim and sometimes turned off and on. It¡¯s scary!! Ah, the loading screen ended. [Now Loading the data 9.9%] [Now Loading the data 10%] [Error] [Not enough source.] [Displaying the current data.] What?? It only ended in 10%!? Isn''t it strange? does the normal are 100%?

And the last content from the Module Control gift. The Auto Control!! Sure, it just makes us move forward. But, it will make our escape from this freaking mist and maybe we can found someone to help us! I didn''t wait long and ignored the female doctors who were currently cheered in happiness while holding a suspicious syringe which is full of orange liquid. What the hell, is that orange juice or something!? Oops, I get distracted for a bit and hurriedly focused toward the Chat window. ¡¸Keita: Benstar, it''s very nice! I get a Module Control Gift! Do you unlocked the Auto Control thing?¡¹ ¡¸Aldebaran: To the point, huh, Commander. It¡¯s just like you.¡¹ ¡¸Benstar: Praise me!

Don''t forget to make sure the frontline is safe!¡¹ ¡¸Aldebaran: What-¡¹ I cut the connection of Chat windows and stand up while looking for a weapon, am too worried about Hosho. After the last communication when I save Hibiki and Sakiko, there is no sound from her. The sound of banging from before and this Carrier dim state make me worry even more. I didn''t notice that my heart beat become faster and I started to feels fear, w-what if something happens to her? N-no lets stop this negative thinking and act first! Am searching for anything worth to use and throw away something useless, Where is it? why there are nothing to use? M-maybe I can use this table? N-no it¡¯s too big and heavy. H-how about- In my agitated state, I noticed my hand suddenly grabbed. Before I swung my free hand to hit someone who dares to stop me, I stopped. It''s Hibiki. The pilot girl who I saved with the doctor-like, Sakiko. "A-Admiral, a-are you a-alright? Y-your face i-is scary y-you know? P-please calms down." I opened my eyes wide then stare at my surrounding, and noticed I already gathered all attention. My feet started to tremble and I ended sitting on the floor. W-what happen to me? I-I never become like this before? This sense of worry is killing me. I covered my face with both hands and notice that my heart beat keep increasing. I standing up while patting Hibiki head, and showed a forced smile. "I have to came back to Hosho, I already leave her for too long." I hide my expression with my Admiral hat and slowly turned around, however, my sleeve was grabbed by someone. It''s Sakiko, she gives me a syringe with orange liquid without saying anything. I blinked. Do I have to use it myself or what? "It¡¯s prototype antibody for the virus, use it when you find trouble fighting them, Admiral. Wait, don''t use it for yourself okay? it''s for them, okay?" Hey, I am not a kid? I don''t need a repeated word! Oh, well I do think this is strength potion or something. I smiled wryly at her and notice my heart beat calmed. Good. Let¡¯s go! Chapter 1-10 "Let''s do this!" I encouraged myself and started to get ready. With the orange syringe in my pocket and my own admiral clothes, I opened the door slowly and slipped past. Checking the area for someone, I slid through the metal floor and placed my back on the wall. Moving at a slow pace while constantly checking the surrounding. Every time I hear a footstep or voice, I lowered my body and hide in the shadow and creep slowly. My current location was inside the middle hull of the carrier, I need to find the stair to go to the command center room. Ah, here it is! ~Growl Feck! I cursed and lowered my body. in crouched position, I take a peek at the corner of the wall and saw 4 zombie-like soldiers whose standing with their body swaying. I gulped and turned my head, the stairs already in front of me, just to move straight. But it would risk of being discovered by them. What to do, how can it suddenly turned into hide and seek of survival horror! I searched all my pocket for something to throw. In this situation isn''t it better to throw something and make a bait with sound? Am genius! But what I can found was only orange syringe and clothes button. What the feck! what I supposed to do! I scratched my hair and my hand hit it. The Admiral hat sure is heavy and stiff. Wait, hard? Here it is. Not waiting much longer, I pulled out my upper body and made a throwing position. My target is the room on the left near their place! With a silent yell, I throw it with full strength. Only it flying on opposite direction. ~Duag The hat hit the floor and it takes their attention, I paled and crouched down to get ready to escape. However, they rushing past me and I safely reach the stairs. Walking upstairs slowly I popped only my head to see the surrounding. There is no one as far as I can see, but I cannot easily be careless. The surprise attack last time is scary enough, am not fond enough to be eaten alive. Not long after, I arrived at the door of the command center. However, it''s quiet, too quiet which make me shudder. Steeling my heart I opened the door and rolling onward! Of course not! while in crouched position, I silently walking but didn''t see anything. Strange, where does the- ~Bang "Aargh!!" Suddenly my vision shifted and I can feel pain on my side like a motorcycle hit me. I rolled sideway and sitting while my back on the wall. What I saw leave me in speechless. Akiyama with the 4 other has their uniform in tatters while their skin turned dark. their opened mouth revealed a sharp fang-like a vampire, their eyes now turned red. However, Akiyama''s eyes were the one which deep red. What the heck happened! Enduring my pain, I shouted. "Hosho, you there!" Suddenly deep on the room, a melody voice can be heard. "Admiral, you are back!" Am glad you are alright, however, the one who turned their attention was not only me. The one with dangerous reaction was Akiyama, his growl looks like controlling the others. I shuddered and gritted my teeth. "Hosho, listen to me! Take over this ship and move forward with full speed!" I slowly stand up while my back still on the wall and shouted at Hosho. However this naturally gathered their attention, and Akiyama angry stare was piercing me. I gulped while holding my hurting side. His growl make the other to move to surround me, within my nervous expression, I can feel my vision blurred as a piercing pain hit my brain. Holding my head in surprise, I noticed my body swaying sideways and understand that the Carrier is moving! "Aargh" My right hand suddenly gripped by Akiyama and it feels hurt, it feels like he trying to crush my arms! Not like I let him! I pulled out an orange syringe from my pocket and stabbed his arm with its needle, with the push I injected the orange liquid and smiled. ''Take this and turn back!'' Akiyama eyes suddenly opened wide as if he endured the pain, however, my smile was broken as his grip on my arm tightened. With a little twist, he broke my arm! "AAAARRRGGH!!" I screamed from the sudden pain. It hurt. it hurt. it hurt. it hurt. IT HURT. IT FREAKING HURT!! My arms, my arms is broken as it dangled sideways. I keep screaming and the tears drenched my face, I don''t care a snot ruined my face. It hurt, it hurt, it hurt!!Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road. "Admiral!!" Hosho scream suddenly reached me and I slowly raised my head and saw a massive palm almost gripped my head. The hand suddenly moved and I saw bulking creature. My blue face turned white. "A-Aki-Akiyama..." I saw the familiar haircut, however, the current body is different. It turned big with full of muscle! Feck, how can he suddenly turned into freaking H*lk! SA.KI.KO!! You said it was for them! but doesn''t it really a strength potion!? Where is the promised cure! You want to kill me!? Ignoring me who staring in shock, Akiyama leads the other to approach Hosho location. With my trembling hand, I shouted. "Hosho! Increase the speed! Get us out of this hell hole! Move! Onward!" I shouted to gather their attention and to cover my pain and fear. I cannot let Hosho dies, I cannot let her dying! Akiyama turned to me with an angry expression and with one step, he arrived in front of me. His bulging hand formed a punch. I closed my eyes with my body trembled. ''Mother, am sorry... I cannot go home, please don''t get too hard on Amalia, my sister is bit stupid but she is a kind girl...'' I smiled remembered my mother and my sister but Akiyama already launched his punch which targeted on my head. ~Whosh The sound of splashing is not what I hear, but the only sound of wind as my head pushed backward. Feeling nothing is wrong I slowly opening my eyes and saw that Akiyama massive hand already right in front of me. Observing better, I can see that his body mysteriously leaking a white smoke. However, not only Akiyama, the other 4 were also leaking a smoke and now is laying on the ground without moving. However seeing that their chest still moving up and down, it looked like they aren''t dying. Different like the other, Akiyama stood still on his punching position as his body slowly turned to normal. I also noticed that the mist covering the room started to dissipate and the room turned clear. "Ahaha... Hahaha.... Ah hahaha..." Seeing the absurd change, I unconsciously laughed and before long I lose my vision as I closed my tired eyes. However, I can still hear a loud opening door sound and melody voice of anxious Hosho. **** "The connection bridge, standby." a man wearing headset turned his head to report. "Good, connect them and lock it." A melody voice of girl can be heard as she stared from her standing position. "Roger, starting the connection. counting down. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. Connected." "The Bridge connected, started to lock the bridge." "The lock is secured, the bridge status. Normal." The sound of report sounded one from another, and a metallic sound of click make the report sounded true. The girl fixed her red kimono and turned to left and bowed. "Admiral, the bridge is ready. Is it the right time?" She then made a warm smile. "Of course, we cannot let them wait much longer, right?" The man fixed his hat and stand from his comfortable sofa and walked down toward the door. The girl walked behind him and speak with a worried tone. "Admiral, but your right hand is still in recovery. Are you really all right?" Hearing it, the man smiled. "Don''t worry, Hosho. Am alright." Before long, they arrived at the connect bridge. Below the bridge is calm sea water but this water is looked dull and no ocean creature can be seen. The man sighed before walked through the bridge. "Yo, Commander Keita!" "Welcome~" A sudden strict but kind voice can be heard as he greeted Keita who is arrived, then followed by the cheerful voice of a girl. When Keita turned his head, he saw an unfamiliar man with white skin and short blond hair, his body is trained like a soldier was so perfect with his Admiral uniform. The girl beside him was also has a blond hair albeit longer and wavy, she wears a blue vest-like garment which is open similar to a jacket, pantyhose, and a blue sailor''s hat. Her Chest is huge, Keita made sure not to stare as Hosho cold smile is scary. Standing in the middle of the Battlecruiser deck, the two of them standing straight and welcomed the two visitors with a kind smile. Keita and Hosho smiled back and Keita was the one who speaks. "Aldebaran, isn''t it?" Aldebaran smile widened and he approaches Keita. "Woah, commander I never knew that you are this small..." "Shut up, It got nothing to my height! And this girl is?" Keita shouted in angry voice before turned toward the busty girl who talked with Hosho. "Atago. Her name is Atago... It surprise isn''t it. Ahaha... by the way, your arm? it looks hurt..." Keita twitched. "It does. The doctor said that I need 2 weeks to recover." Aldebaran shocked "That''s fast." "Ahaha.. who know, This is my first time experienced broken bones..." Keita expression turned worse as he forced a laugh. When they chatting, another voice can be heard and two figure can be seen approaching from other connect bridge. One was a tall man with yellow-white skin and messed up hair in Admiral uniform, he frowned as he covered his both ears. Following on his side is the petite girl with expressionless girl, she hasshortbrown hairwith strands tied to look likehornsalong with grayishyellow eyes. Wearing black and white naval uniform who keep talked at him. "Ah, Benstar." Keita blinked seeing the familiar face who usually easy going and lazy make a troubled expression. Aldebaran nearby were also shocked, in a different meaning. "What, Benstar!? You looked messed up like I thought..." Then Benstar who arrived only sighed. "Am tired and hungry..." "Master, can you please don''t embarrass us?" "I don''t care Hatsuzuki! am hungry you know?" Benstar make irritated expression Like a signal from Benstar''s, Hosho stomach grumbled and she covered her red face. Before long, Atago and Hatsuzuki started following. And all of them laughed together. Not long, Aldebaran started the conversation. "Then, What would we do know, Commander? We really in need of food." Benstar nodded his head. "That''s true. It fortunate that after we left the mist, all the people turned ''normal'', we still need more research, though." Keita sighed, to tell the truth, he also doesn''t know what to do. He was the only normal person in peace earth. He never has to do something like this, his mental strain is weighing him down. He cannot help but move forward, but- "Land! We found land!" Hearing the notice from the command center from the Battlecruiser Atago, all of them running to the bow and on the horizon, not too far from their location, a green land can be seen with its full vegetation. Keita smiled "We can do the report of our discovery later, our first mission is to secure the food!" Chapter 2-1 We found land, It filled with green vegetations and tall trees. Because of the hungry and sudden change of events, we are too tired to move. However, I noticed that in the command center on the Battlecruiser and the surrounding was people staring at the land with mixed feeling as if they have been leaving the land for years. I also were the one who staring on the land with a smile, gripped the railing. "Woah, it is really a land! Food!" Benstar were the one with loud voice ended him being reprimanded by Hatsuzuki. "But are you sure it''s not a mirage or illusion?" This word of Aldebaran was like a cold water pouring on us. Our expression stiffened, and we observed the land as our ships sailing straight toward it. Suddenly an idea popped into my head. "Right, how about I launch a fighter squadron to check it if it really lands and how safe this land is?" "Ooh, it''s good idea commander!" Benstar who crouched in despair suddenly jumped with his eyes shining. "Ah, I forget we have the Carrier on us." Aldebaran smiled wryly. I smiled with a proud face and turned to Hosho. "We should go back and unlinked the bridge. Hosho, can you control the carrier to the front?" "Yes!" Hosho bowed and we rushed back to the carrier. It sure is strange at first seeing we don''t have someone piloting the ships, but Hosho here can control the ship with her mind! Amazing. On the way to the carrier, I don''t notice that Aldebaran approaching Benstar and speaking with a serious expression, ''We need to talk.''. **** Sitting on the sofa, I oversee the communication crews doing their job. I turned my head to see the screen which now showing our front, the bridge which connected to Battlecruiser slowly unlinked and we moved toward the front. "Hosho how is the plane squadron?" I asked the Hosho beside me, and she bowed. "The preparation is ready, 4 fighter planes is on standby in the hangar. they would arrive at the flight deck right now. But..." Hosho showed a troubled expression and I frowned. "What is it?" Before Hosho can speak, a familiar voice resounded over the communication pipe.Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author''s preferred platform and support their work! [Admiral, our squadron already on the flight deck! We are ready to take off.] Hearing it I opened my mouth wide and slowly turned toward Hosho with expression, ''What the meaning of this?'' "Erm, well... Hibiki-san was attacked by the other pilot crews, right? Somehow they feeling bad at her and decided to turn her to be the Platoon leader..." I facepalmed and blow a tired sigh, slowly I turn to the communication pipe. "Alright, Platoon leader Hibiki. I permit you to take off. Keep your squadron standby above the island and don''t shoot without my order." [Roger! First fighter squad, take off!] With Hibiki shout I could hear a noisy voice of plane engines started as it moves through the flight deck. It followed by the other 3 and they flying in a circle above us before flying straight toward the island, with Hibiki planes on the lead, they are flying on the side to side. ¡¸Benstar: Woah, It was cool when we saw the game... but seeing the plane take off in real is awesome! ( *^?^*)/¡¹ ¡¸Aldebaran: 4 Fighter planes? this was usually used as a scout, but now I think it can also be used to attack the ground unit. Nice Commander!¡¹ Chat windows appearing in my vision and I grinned at them, it shame though that I cannot see the take off myself as the screen only showed the planes already flying high. *tears "Admiral, the fighter squadron should arrive in any minute." Hosho stern voice called me back and I nodded at her. "Yeah, now how do we contact them?" Hosho showed a smile and speak in a gentle voice. "Admiral we can contact the from the air operations control center, however, does Admiral can see it with your own eyes, right?" ''See?'' Ah, right! the eagle eyes system! I almost forget about it. I calmed my heart and closed my eyes, I don''t actually know what to do, but I tried to imagine myself to be the planes. Then I can feel my consciousness flying and when I open my eyes, what I can see is the vast sea as I moved in fast speed. Looking around I noticed that I feel like moving a camera which planted on the planes and sighed in awe. It feels like the actual Virtual Reality. Then my vision shifted upward and I saw the island. It''s true island! Below, I noticed a fruit like a thing and a herbivore creatures which looking at us in wonder. When the planes flying above them, the loud engines scares them as they scattered to find a shelter. The squadron started to spread to check the island in full detail and between my consciousness, I can see a mental map formed. It''s convenient, we need to check this features later. [Ah, Platoon leader to Main Carrier. I found something big, and need assistance. Over.] With a ping, Hibiki voice resounded but currently, my consciousness was attached on her planes so I also can see what she saw. I pulled back my mind I arrive back on my body. "What do we do, Admiral?" Hosho concern voice calmed my heart. A Beautiful voice is good for the heart, whatever their expression is! *Cough "Tell them to fly back! Return to the Carrier immediately!" I shouted the order as I stand from sitting position. Hosho beside me nodded her head and approached Akiyama who is nearby. I passed them and arrived the front windows which showing the island. ¡¸Benstar: Commander, what is going on? why did the planes flying back? O.o)/¡¹ ¡¸Aldebaran: This formation is to land in, did you found something?¡¹ The next chat windows appeared and I gulped, My body is shaking, but my eyes shined because of excitement! There, on the corner of the island... I- no, we found a ship other than us! A metal ship! Chapter 2-2 There, on the corner of the island... I- no, we found a ship other than us! A metal ship! When I looked at the windows, I finally saw that the last fighter plane already landed back on the flight deck and turned toward Hosho. ¡°Hosho come with me.¡± When I see her bowing, I fastened my walking speed and move to the flight deck. Around the way, there are chat windows appearing from Aldebaran and Benstar. ¡¸Aldebaran: Commander, do you think you should give us the explanation?¡¹ ¡¸Benstar: We saw the planes rushing back you know? There must be something right? ©c(£à§¥¡ä)? ¡¹ I troubled to answer but let give them what I know. ¡¸Aldebaran: Commander, do you think you should give us the explanation?¡¹ ¡¸Benstar: We saw the planes rushing back you know? There must be something right? ©c(£à§¥¡ä)? ¡¹ ¡¸Keita: We found a huge ship. I believe it was Battleship class.¡¹ After that, I suddenly feel a strong wind and almost fall. Sighed in relief, I noticed that we are arrived on the flight deck and saw Hibiki coming out from the plane cockpit. She¡¯s still wearing the helmet and on the way to take it off, however, when she saw my and Hosho figures and ended saluting. Before I calling her out, My vision was spammed by Aldebaran and Benstar which troubled me. The heck! I cannot see anything! Turning to my side where I think Hosho is, I ask her to receive the report from Hibiki. I could hear her giggle and ¡®Yes, Admiral.¡¯ Before she walking. Now then, why did they keep spamming me? ¡¸Aldebaran: Battleships? Which one!?¡¹ ¡¸Benstar: Yamato? Nagato? Fuso? Kongo? (#?§¥?)¡¹ ¡¸Aldebaran: NO, why it have to be Japanese ships? I believe it was American, or German?¡¹Stolen story; please report. ¡¸Benstar: Bismarck? Iowa? Montana? Tirpitz? Or what?? ¦²(=¦Ø= ; ) ¡¹ ¡¸Aldebaran: There are too many speculations¡­ But, this make my blood boil!¡¹ ¡¸Benstar: Yeah, there is no real Battleships in modern days¡­ How it will be! I want to see it! (*¡ä>§Õ< ) ¡¹ ¡¸Aldebaran: Maybe they are like us? Stranded in this unknown land! We can exchange information too.¡¹ ¡¸Benstar: Commander, don¡¯t you hide away! Come here! ©c(£à§¥¡ä)? ¡¹ ¡¸Aldebaran: Where are you, Commander!!¡¹ The Heck! Are they spamming me for only this? Can you cannot be too excited? It scares me¡­ I sighed and joined the chat. ¡¸Benstar: Commander, don¡¯t you hide away! Come here! ©c(£à§¥¡ä)? ¡¹ ¡¸Aldebaran: Where are you, Commander!!¡¹ ¡¸Keita: Am here. And for your information, it isn¡¯t battleship with too high tier¡­¡¹ Before long another spam appeared. ¡¸Benstar: Not higher tier? Ah, right we do playing the medium grade tier, right? At least till tier 6? (£à?¡ä)¦× ¡¹ ¡¸Aldebaran: What? So, are you sure that the ship appears like us? A player?¡¹ ¡¸Benstar: I don¡¯t care about that Aldebaran¡­ I need to know, which ship it is! ©c(£à§¥¡ä)? ¡¹ ¡¸Aldebaran: LET US WAIT FOR THE EXPLANATION! ¡¹ ¡®¡­¡¯ They sure are excited. And Benstar¡¯s emoticon is increasing in type¡­ Aldebaran, how did you use the capital word? *Cough* ¡¸Benstar: I don¡¯t care about that, Aldebaran¡­ I need to know, which ship it is! ©c(£à§¥¡ä)? ¡¹ ¡¸Aldebaran: LET US WAIT FOR THE EXPLANATION! ¡¹ ¡¸Keita: Well, sorry to break your expectation. I don¡¯t quite know about the ship too much, but all I know is the gun is bigger and the body is larger. It is Battleship right?¡¹ Not long after I appear on chat windows, they already started to spam me again. ¡¸Aldebaran: The Heck! Did you boast to us that you liked to build ship papercraft? Your word is contradicting! ¡¹ ¡¸Benstar: Woah, Commander! You let us down! How did you appear without the main information? ©c(£à§¥¡ä)? ¡¹ ¡¸Aldebaran: So what!? He should go back, and give us the real information! And are you lying about your hobby!?¡¹ ¡¸Benstar: No, commander really does like ship papercraft.

The ship condition is bad from afar, there is no flag on it, so how do I recognize it! And about papercraft, do you think it is easy to finish one battleship papercraft! I have been suffered from their small weapon armament, so what if I liked to craft the simple one! (*¡ä>§Õ< ) *Cough* I calmed my heart and make sure to endure the anger and turned toward Hosho, however without I notice she already standing right in front of me with Hibiki which surprised me. ¡°Admiral, Hibiki wanted to report what she found herself. It¡¯s about the Battleship which docked on the corner of the island.¡± Hosho speaking in a small voice like she troubled about something, Hibiki beside her also looked nervous. Hm? What is going on? Chapter 2-3 ¡°Admiral, Hibiki wanted to report what she found herself. It¡¯s about the Battleship which docked on the corner of the island.¡± Hosho speaking in a small voice like she troubled about something, Hibiki beside her also looked nervous. Hm? What is going on? Because of the wind blow is so strong on the flight deck, we decided to move below. We turned off the carrier engine and floating in a distance from the island, looking over the island, I sighed before turned toward Hibiki. I nodded at her to allow her to tell her report. ¡°Sir, I found a broken Battleship on the other side of the island! From what I can saw, there are numerous holes in its hull and the deck.¡± Hibiki saluted as she reported to me. ¡°Broken? Is it a shell impact?¡± I frowned from the word ¡®broken¡¯, and remember the time when I woke up, is the impact from before didn¡¯t hurt us that much? I turned my attention toward Hibiki, so she can see clearly, even when I also see it myself? I murmured my complaint to myself then I decided to speak my order before Hibiki opened her mouth. ¡°Wait, follow me both of you. It¡¯s better if we also speak this problem with the other.¡± I exchanged a glance with Hosho and she nodded at me. Seeing her agree with me, I send a message to the Chat Windows. ¡¸Keita: Guys, meet me on the deck below the flight deck. I have something to discuss.¡¹ Not long after I send my message, the respond from the two appears in flash. ¡¸Aldebaran: Roger, connecting the bridge.¡¹ ¡¸Benstar: Roger, connecting the bridge.¡¹ As we are on only floating without moving, we can see two ships approaching from both sides while slowly started to pull out a metal bridge to connect with our ship. Not long after, the three of us meeting up again along with our partners and Hibiki. I think there would be more chance we have to do a meeting, let¡¯s find a good place for that later. While thinking like this, I noticed that Hibiki stared to saluting with a nervous expression. ¡°Platoon leader of the planes squadron, Hibiki! Come to report!¡± She is too stiff! Calm down Hibiki! And do that Ranks really did solidify? Oh well, nevermind... Meanwhile, Aldebaran and Benstar stared at her while blinking. It seems they never expected that Hibiki would be that tense. ¡°Hehehe, Hibiki is it? Don¡¯t be that stiff~ calm down, not like we going to bite you, though.¡± Benstar smiled(smirked) at her which make Hibiki eyes darting from side to side. Woah, Ben, you scared her! See you are being glared at by Hatsuzuki.Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more. Aldebaran coughed before turning toward Hibiki with a calm face. ¡°Then, what are you want to report? Is it regarding about the discovery of the Battleships on the island?¡± What with that calm adult-like face! Scary~ I unconsciously frowned, and somehow Hibiki saw it as if she was being a blunder and ended saluting again with a blue face. Woah, did you misunderstanding something! I feeling a stare beside me and see Hosho smiled at me. Forced smile it seems... Meanwhile, Hibiki who saluting while building up a courage started to speaking. ¡°Sir! I found a broken Battleship on the other side of the island! From what I can saw, there are numerous holes in its hull and the deck.¡± Oh, she is speaking the same as when reporting to me? Well done, I guess. Hearing it, the other two somehow changed their expression. Their look turned scary with their atmosphere turned dark. ¡°Broken you said? How is its condition, speak it more clearly.¡± Benstar folded his hand and speaking with rare strict voice. Well, not like I never seen his serious mode, though. Hatsuzuki even pinched his elbow. Hibiki who overwhelmed by Benstar is unable to answer. Then, not letting her to take time, Aldebaran joined while showing the same expression. ¡°You saw holes right? Is it from an attack of shells? How is its condition? Are there any person living nearby?¡± Faced by barrage questions from Aldebaran, Hibiki slowly losing her courage and ended to lowering her head with trembling body. The two only stared at her while narrowing their eyes. ¡°G-guys, aren¡¯t you both too strict? The other side is a girl right?¡± Feeling the atmosphere turned worse, I jumped forward while trying to change the subject. However, the response I got was different from what I was expected. ¡°Can you shut up for a second, ¡®Commander¡¯. This is the important report that you fail to give us. We have the right to know this. In detail.¡± Aldebaran narrowing his eyes as he stared at Hibiki behind me. The sudden change makes me unconsciously take a step back. ¡°It is fine, commander. We only wanted to hear it, so can you step back? Ah, by the way. In the military it was rude to be different because of gender, they have a duty, after all.¡± Benstar smiled at me, but his sudden glare makes me take another step back. Gritting my teeth, I glanced at Hibiki and stepped back toward my previous location. I shifted my attention toward Aldebaran and Benstar, I have an uncomfortable feeling about this. How do I feel of the sudden wall between us? How were their figures suddenly rocketed high and I feel suppressed by them? Feeling a tug on my sleeve, I noticed that Hosho staring at me with a worried look. I smiled to reassuring her. Then I noticed Hatsuzuki and Atago behind Benstar and Aldebaran bowing at me. Sigh, it troubles me to make a girl worried about me. I turned my attention toward Hibiki and our eyes meet. I smiled and nodded my head while silently encouraged her with my eyes. Looking like she has steeled her heart, Hibiki straightens her back. ¡°Sir! From what I can see, the ship was unlikely to be attacked by shells. I think that it was strange, as the debris was actually on the land. I-I mean, it look like a hole was made from inside? B-but I¡¯m not pretty sure of what would do that. The battleship armor is thick.¡± Hearing Hibiki, all of us was surprised. But Hibiki isn¡¯t finished her report yet. ¡°I¡¯m didn¡¯t see any tents nearby, so I doubt there is still someone living there. Ah, the metal on the ships doesn¡¯t too much damaged except the holes, which make it strange. But thanks to that I can see the flag and I am sure that the ship was one of the British Battleship, If I¡¯m not wrong, it was Warspite.¡± Chapter 2-4 ¡°I¡¯m didn¡¯t see any tents nearby, so I doubt there is still someone living there. Ah, the metal on the ships doesn¡¯t too much damaged except the holes, which make it strange. But thanks to that I can see the flag and I am sure that the ship was one of the British Battleship. If I¡¯m not wrong, it was Warspite.¡± After Hibiki finished the report, Aldebaran and Benstar doesn¡¯t released their serious expression. No, It turned even worse. Silently watching them from the side, they suddenly turned their attention to me with fixed expression. The hell, their intention is too easy to understand! What with ¡®I want to see!¡¯ like face! Look, your eyes are shining! And why did you suddenly turned here? Do I need to say something? *Cough* ¡°Alright! Because we don¡¯t quite understand the situation over there, we have to investigate it on land. At least, the two of us would lead around 10 people of armed men.¡± I suddenly feel irritated and glared at them. The two of them exchanged a glance before nodded at me, I smiled and somehow we said the same word at the same time. ¡°¡±Then I will go.¡±¡± ~Whooosh Eh~ did I hear wrong~? The three of us ended smiled at the same time after we said it. Our serious atmosphere prevented the three girls as they standing with a cold sweat, meanwhile, Hibiki in the corner turned into stone with a dumbfounded face. ¡°Commander, you have injuries right~ It¡¯s better if you take a rest and wait here~¡± Benstar smiled and urged to step back. As if! ¡°Ahaha, what are you saying Benstar~ Look at Aldebaran, his face is looked pale, I afraid he would collapse in the way, can you look over our ships?¡± I smiled at the Aldebaran who since we meets always grasped his belly with a pale face. ¡°Ahaha... I have a pale face because I never have to hold my hunger this long! And look at that green island, I can recover my energy over there. Benstar, We need the commander to guide us, so please cover our back from here?¡± ~Glooom Not all of us want to back down over this mission and the situation may turn worse, well, if it turned into a fight I would lose, though. ~Groowl Suddenly, our stomach growled and our face turned red. Woah, this is really breaking the mood! But thanks to that our atmosphere calmed down. ¡°W-well, we don¡¯t have too much time. Let¡¯s decide it with Rock, Paper, Scissor!¡± I proposed and idea which somehow they take it easily. ¡°Let¡¯s do it!¡± ¡°Right, it¡¯s better this way!¡± As the others agreed with it, we moved closer and take a stance. As our atmosphere turned serious again, the three girls sighed before moving toward Hibiki to console her. Now let¡¯s begin! **** ¡°Admiral! Please let me join this expedition!¡± A loud voice suddenly appears beside me when I returned toward the command room. Slightly surprised, I saw Akiyama standing while bowing at me.If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. He keeps his 90-degree bowing posture and it positioned right in front of the door, so I unable to go inside before I answered him. But I believe he would be in this position until I agree with him. To think he would ambush me in the good position, how cunning¡­ I¡¯m a little bit troubled with him, I remembered that he keeps apologizing to me because he broke my arms. I turned toward Hosho behind me and saw her wry smile. I sighed. ¡°Fine, Akiyama Right? Please gather 9 men and some of the medic crew. Ah, and also maybe 2-3 cook? We would go toward the land so we need preparation, about the equipment, I leave it to you.¡± Hearing my word, Akiyama showed a happy expression before bowing to me again. He lowered his head so low that I concerned if his head would hit the ground. He then dashed to the outside with full spirit. What a hard working guy¡­ Unconsciously smiling, I noticed the warm smile from Hosho and my face turned red. I walked to my seat with hurried step and take a seat with a loud sound, surprised the other crews inside. Calming my heart, I turned toward Hosho. ¡°What do you think about all of this?¡± Hosho tilted her head. ¡°Well, there is too many unexpected situations happening. But I believe what Admiral do until now is right. We don¡¯t know if the island is 100% safe. So¡­¡± Hosho voice turned smaller in the end and I know what she means by that. ¡°It¡¯s fine! You don¡¯t need to be worried! We wouldn¡¯t go without armed, it¡¯s lucky we have guns with us. I would also send the fighter planes to cover us from above. And there are Akiyama with us, so I would feel safe!¡± Hosho didn¡¯t look convinced and her expression turned sour. *Cough* About the result of Rock, Paper, Scissor the winner was me and Aldebaran. Benstar who losing the game was ended in shock. Well, I know that he really suck with this game~ Hehehe¡­ This is payback for what you do to me. ¡°Admiral, if you really decided to go, so do I. I would be beside you, to protect you from danger!¡± Hosho eyes blazed with a determination that makes me unable to refuse her. Before I opened my mouth, a chat window appeared. ¡¸Aldebaran: Commander, I and my squad are ready! And I would wait you with small ship, so don¡¯t make wait too long!¡¹ ¡¸Benstar: Tsk, why do we need to do that game? Can we decide it with something better, right? (£à§¡¡ä) ¡¹ I smiled and turned toward Hosho. Well, she also looked to not accept anything except yes. ¡°Let¡¯s go Hosho, we have to meet Akiyama and the rest. The others also waiting for us.¡± Hearing me who agreed with her, Hosho looked over my back and smiled. ¡°Yes!¡± **** Arriving at the corridor on the deck, I saw Akiyama already prepared all we need. There even 9 other men who are already standing with full equipment and right now standing in line. I can see a familiar face which wearing doctor robe, Hibiki and 2 other people which I have never seen before. Maybe they are the cook? Noticing me and Hosho, Hibiki smiled before saluting at us. Her sudden movement was noticed by the others and they following Hibiki salute. When we arrived in front of them, I returned the salute and turned toward Hibiki. ¡°So, why are you here?¡± My cold stare was replied with a wry smile. ¡°W-well, I was the one who sees the location, so I think I could us to the place?¡± What with a question mark? You didn¡¯t look convinced with yourself! ¡°No! We will go with this much, you stay here.¡± Hibiki face turned pale and before she opens her mouth I stopped her. ¡°I said you stay here and gather your men, I need your fighter squadron to support us from above. You don¡¯t need to worry about the location, I already knew it.¡± Her pale face turned bright ¡°Understood!¡± Seeing the rushing Hibiki, I smiled before turned toward Akiyama and the rest. ¡°Alright, everyone let¡¯s get ready! Shoulder your weapons, we would be started to land on the unknown island! Make sure your weapons is ready!¡± ¡°¡°Yes sir!¡±¡± ¡°Move out!¡± As the other moved in a line toward the bridge that leads toward the small ship below the carrier, My eyes shined seeing the rifles on their hand. Real rifle! What was their type, I wonder. Well, I would get one soon~ I turned toward Akiyama beside me and asked: ¡°Where is my weapon?¡± Akiyama who observing our men turned his head toward me before taking something from his waist. With an expectant look, I give my hand and he placed a gun. It¡¯s a handgun. I stared at the handgun on my left hand with dead eyes and shifted my eyes to him. ¡°Admiral, your right hand is injured and you can use it for a moment. A rifle or machine gun is too much for you.¡± Indeed. But¡­ I also wanted to- ~Shiver I noticed Hosho smile behind me and gulped. R-right, I was only a college student on earth. I would be unreasonable for me to hold a real gun! Yes, i-it¡¯s dangerous and I would hit nothing! I sighed and approaching the bridge. With Hosho behind me holding a bow and quiver on her back, we moved down toward the small transport ship. Chapter 2-5 I sighed and approaching the bridge. With Hosho behind me holding a bow and quiver on her back, we moved down toward the small transport ship. Waiting there are Aldebaran who smiled at me and Atago beside him. ¡°Yo, you sure is late Commander. Is your arm still hurt?¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine, without me I¡¯m sure you would be lost in the wood right?¡± ¡°Sigh, that¡¯s true. We may gather ration along the way as the island is full of forests but even with my experience it would take me a whole day to find the Battleships and back here.¡± Aldebaran sighed before ¡°Come in.¡±, letting me go inside the cabin. I smiled in gratitude and lead Hosho toward Akiyama who waiting inside. However without me noticed, Aldebaran turned his head and staring at a certain location, when Atago noticed her master looking somewhere she also looked over and noticed a figure on the certain ship as they exchanged a nod. Aldebaran smiled and turned his back. ¡°Let¡¯s go, Atago. The ¡®Commander¡¯ is waiting for us.¡± Atago isn¡¯t really understood what going on, but whatever happened she would always stay beside her master. So she smiled and followed after him ¡°Yes, master.¡± **** So here we are~ sailing toward the unknown Island~ *Cough* I unconsciously started to do a strange monolog out of nowhere, currently I leaned toward the railing outside the cabin of small transport ship while looking at the island which coming near each minute. Hosho that always beside me was dragged by Atago somewhere, so I alone on the cabin, with around 30 people inside with growling stomach it really awkward to start the conversation so I decide to retreat toward the outside. Looking over the sea, I noticed a footstep and turned my head. On the front of the door, stood Aldebaran who has a pale face. ¡°Are you alright? Your complexion looked worse¡­¡± Aldebaran only snorted at me and approached me with the unstable move, before he finally manages to balance himself by grabbing the railing. ¡°Sigh, I supposed to say ¡®I¡¯m alright!¡¯ but this is the first time I have to hold my hunger this long¡­ Even if I feel hungry, I can at least cook my frozen food or ordering a pizza. Now there is nothing! I started to feel that our era is so blessed¡­¡±Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon. Aldebaran clenched his grip on the railing while looking at the island, his eyes shined with a strange light and I gulped and averted my gaze. ¡°Y-yeah you are right¡­ It is unfortunate that we suddenly appear here, there are too many mysteries right?¡± When I smiled and turned at him, my smile frozen as I see his expressionless face. Aldebaran staring at me with the strange light on his eyes before turning his head away. I wanted to speak something, but when I opened my mouth, I closed it again. Then there is silence as we silently looking at the Island. ~ A loud sound from the ship horn broke our silence as we hear a footstep, turning around we saw Akiyama standing with a salute. ¡°Sir we almost arrive at the coast, we need to prepare our equipment as we would be landing any times soon.¡± Akiyama speaks with the excited voice and we blinked at him, with a smile we approach him and patted his both shoulder before walking inside the cabin. Akiyama on other hand looked around in confusion before chasing us inside. Inside the cabin where the member of this expedition unit who currently showed relentless expressions as they looked at the round windows, I smiled seeing their excited face and noticed Hosho approaching. ¡°Admiral, I¡¯m sorry to be rude. But, are you really sure to join to the island? You could just wait for us here.¡± I frowned as I hear Hosho word, and feel a little angered. But this feeling was not quite strong as I thought that Hosho only worried about me. So I straighten my back and say. ¡°Of course, all of you needed me to guide us toward our target. I also already this far, it would be a waste if I only stay here and do nothing.¡± When I say this, I can see a worried look on her faces which make me puzzled. When I noticed that she take a glance at the certain location I turned my head and see that Aldebaran also turned his head to see somewhere else, immediately. What¡¯s the problem? However before I manage to open my mouth, another loud sound from the ship horn told us that we already arrived. Then Aldebaran stepped out while speaking with a loud voice. ¡°Alright, guys! Stand in line and move toward the land! The frontline makes sure to stand ready and observe the surrounding as to wait for the one behind you. After all of you safely landed go few meters from the shore and prepare to build a small tent! Now move out!¡± The 20 armed men give a salute toward Aldebaran before moving out the ships with neat line formation, after that followed by the cook and medic squad behind them. Aldebaran then sighed before turned toward me. ¡°Commander, could you send out the fighter planes?¡± I snapped from my stupor seeing Aldebaran sorted out the squad and jumped in surprise. ¡°R-right! I¡¯m contacting them now!¡± I hurriedly moved outside while contacted Hibiki on the Aircraft Carrier to let her take off. I-it strange as I suddenly run outside while contacting her, can I do it inside the transport ship instead? I sighed after I received the ¡®Ok¡¯ from Hibiki while staring at the ship behind me.
