At the end, Feng Neumao did not forget to make fun of himself.

"I also believe that even those of us in the Lost Age couldn't escape this limitation. This was a fatal problem, causing us back then to stray from the very beginning in this area of ​​research, potentially leading to serious consequences."

"Then why do you have it now?" Jiang Lianqiu turned around in confusion.

Feng Neumeow thought about it seriously and replied, "Perhaps you, Commander, have driven us all crazy?"

Seeing Jiang Lianqiu's strange expression, Feng Nuoyimiao said seriously, "This is not a joke, Commander. In fact, all the servitors have reported the same problem during their routine self-inspections over the past period of time."

"We've added a bunch of redundant emotions to our mind core that weren't originally designed to exist. This causes all of our servitors' daily behaviors to deviate from their normal trajectory to some degree."

"For example, that idiot who's currently being punished for polishing and waxing the deck of a starship, and the one who cheated high school girls out of their pocket money at Guangying Plaza?"

Feng Neumiao twisted his features and nodded: "Anyway, I can't figure out what's going on. Theoretically, these behaviors are impossible for us to do."

"Do you know that one of my researchers has recently become interested in human politics? This would have been impossible in the past!"

"Isn't this a good thing? Researching these things might be useful someday in the future."

"But the problem is, the material he used to study was 'The Ming Dynasty 1566'. Now he's completely crazy. In his free time, he dresses himself up like a charlatan and spends all day muttering about training his body to be like a crane..."

Von Neumeow covered his face in pain.

"I'm worried that he might become desperate and start refining pills someday!"

Jiang Lianqiu and Feng Nuoyimiao stared at each other silently for a moment, and finally the corners of their mouths twitched as they replied faintly, "That's not surprising, that's not surprising."

"I was wondering why I saw a guy the other day who was sleepwalking. The first thing he said to me was, 'Your Majesty, you are so virtuous...'"

He doesn't want to be Jiajing!

"This situation doesn't affect your normal work, right?"

"Don't worry! Absolutely not!" Feng Neumiao said seriously, "Not only that, it has actually increased our efficiency in daily work by at least 13 percentage points compared to before."

"Miss Xing once said before she left that this is called relaxation."

It’s better not to believe her words...

"Let's not talk about that. What do you think about what Shokaku said earlier, that Akagi and the Sirens worked together to eventually detonate a black hole-like void in the ocean, sucking her and Zuikaku in?"

"I've already contacted the Observer at Starport." Von Neumeow certainly wouldn't let this question slip. "The Observer told me that the Siren have indeed been researching technology that allows them to truly cross worlds, rather than reaching different singularities within the same world."

"But their progress in this area is far less than ours. After all, they don't have pioneering beacons, nor do they have you, the authorized commander."

"So, I speculate that this incident is most likely due to my previous judgment—the subsequent impact of discovering that the singularity of the Tejas and the others has now transformed into the subspace and been grafted into our world by you, Commander."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the distance between our two worlds will be close enough that we will begin to influence each other."

Feng Neumao's speculation did not exceed Jiang Lianqiu's expectations, and he himself thought so too.

Although this will bring a lot of uncertainties, it is generally a good thing.

"So, is there any way to find Zuikaku? If Shokaku entered the country illegally, Zuikaku should also be a case of that."

Judging from the fact that Kato Megumi only pulled Shokaku to her side, Zuikaku is not in this world.

After all, Zuikaku, who belongs to the same Shokaku-class as Shokaku, has no reason not to be missing until now because of the concept of Tenzuru-hime-no-Mikoto.

Jiang Lianqiu even thought that Zuikaku's concept of Princess Tianhe's destiny might be stronger than Shokaku's - after all, Zuikaku was really extremely lucky. Compared with her, Shokaku, as her elder sister, had almost the maximum unlucky attribute.

Not to mention that it was seriously injured in almost every battle, the final cause of its sinking was also outrageous enough: the White Eagle submarine was hit by four of its six torpedoes, causing an oil leak. As luck would have it, the oil was highly volatile oil from Borneo. What's more, the bow of the Shokaku, an armored aircraft carrier, was completely enclosed, unable to allow the oil and gas to escape. At that time, planes were taking off and landing on the deck, so one of the elevators that could serve as a vent was damaged and stuck, and the other could not be used because of the fighter planes taking off and landing.

So, Shokaku was unlucky enough to have the volatilized oil and gas fill the enclosed space inside the ship, eventually causing it to explode and sink.

It's no exaggeration to say that Shokaku is plagued by bad luck, as if a snowy wind is following him everywhere.

Compared with her, Ruihe, as her younger sister, really deserves the word "Rui" in her name.

In this case, since Zuikaku did not appear, it can basically be concluded that she is no longer in this world.

Feng Neumiao had naturally analyzed this situation. After a moment's reflection, she offered her own opinion: "Commander, I believe that Ms. Zuikaku's safety at 4.8 is not a concern, at least for now. She is undoubtedly unrecognized by the world. Under such circumstances, nothing within the world can meaningfully interfere with her."

"Considering that Ms. Shokaku is in our world, there's a high probability that Ms. Zuikaku exists in the other two worlds that we can now freely travel between. Perhaps we can let Ms. Kato give it a try."

"Even if it's later proven that Ms. Zuikaku isn't there, based on the world coordinate system we've established, she should be in a world very close to us. I'm 80% done with the theory of conventional inter-world travel. Project Guard will be completely completed soon, and we can then begin our official search for Ms. Zuikaku."

Hearing this, Jiang Lianqiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good.".

Chapter 243: More Magical Than Imagination

In the luxurious bath.

Although it was not a bathhouse in the starport that was specially designed for ship girls, when Shokaku soaked most of his body in the warm water, he still felt a sense of comfort as his whole body and mind were relaxed.

The sound of water splashing as someone took a bath was heard nearby. Shokaku looked up and saw Kato Megumi wrapped in a bath towel.

Noticing that Shokaku's brows were furrowed from time to time, Kato Megumi asked, "Sister Shokaku, are you worried about your sister?"

"Yeah." Shokaku nodded slightly. "We still don't know where Zuikaku is, and we don't know her current situation. We clearly agreed that as her older sister, I would protect her."

Seeing Xianghe's loss, Kato Megumi took the initiative to come to her side and comfort her: "Mr. Jiang, there should be a way, right?"

She had already witnessed some of Jiang Lianqiu's magical powers, and subconsciously believed that Jiang Lianqiu, who was able to get them out of the Washington, would definitely be able to help Xianghe find his sister.

Shokaku held his face in his hands in annoyance and sighed, "Really? You claim to be the ideal aircraft carrier, but you haven't achieved anything yet, and you're just getting into trouble again and again."

The water droplets fell along the soft lines of Xianghe's jaw, splashed on his chest, and finally sank into the bottomless ravine between his tall and straight jade peaks.

"I have no clue about Zuikaku's matter for now, but Hui-chan, why don't you inform your family now?"

"You disappeared with me for several days. Your family must be very worried, right?"

Kato Megumi uttered a low "Ah—" and said in confusion, "I don't know how to explain why I disappeared these past few days."

So you haven't contacted your family yet?

However, hiding it from her was obviously not a solution. Shokaku also pondered over it with Kato Megumi, but in the end, he could not find a solution and could only apologize: "I'm sorry, Megumi-chan, for causing you so much trouble now."

"Well, how about they themselves not noticing me?"

Kato Megumi suddenly thought of a solution.

Before Shokaku appeared, her low sense of presence had become increasingly serious, and after Shokaku appeared, it reached the point where she could enter and exit the military base freely without being noticed.

Kato Megumi didn't know that her low sense of presence no longer only affected humans, and even the surveillance equipment in the base could not detect her whereabouts.

Feeling that this was the only explanation that could cover up the issue, Kato Megumi made a decision.

After they finished washing up, they went together to find Jiang Lianqiu who was in the top-floor suite.

"Classmate Jiang." This time, Kato Megumi didn't call Jiang Lianqiu the mysterious classmate. "Thank you very much for your help, but I don't have anything to offer in return. If you don't mind, can I buy you some buckwheat tea?"

"Who said you can't repay me?" Jiang Lianqiu looked up from behind his desk, casually flipping through Starport's documents. "At least for now, Kato-san can help me confirm whether there's any trace of Zuikaku in the other two worlds."

"Commander, is there any way to find Zuikaku?" Shokaku's eyes were full of surprise. She was still worried about her sister just now, but she didn't expect Jiang Lianqiu to bring it up on his own initiative.

After explaining his idea of ​​asking Kato Megumi for help, Jiang Lianqiu looked at the surprised girl and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's just... I feel like, Jiang-san, this is even more magical than I imagined." Kato Megumi tried hard to imagine what the "other world" looked like. "Don't worry, I will try my best!"

The girl clenched her little fists, trying her best to look like she was ready to give it her all, and she looked a little nervous.

"By the way, do you need me to help you explain your disappearance to your family? If it's hard to explain, I can help you erase other people's memories of your disappearance."

Kato Megumi thought about it and shook her head.

She didn't really want to trouble Jiang Lianqiu again and again, as that would make her feel like she would never be able to repay him.

"That's fine." Jiang Lianqiu put down the documents. "Also, regarding Kato's abilities, I suggest you come to me regularly for checkups and training. Feng Neumiao told me that your family's abilities are passed down from generation to generation, and once you have children, all of them will be transferred to your offspring."

"In other words, Kato-san now possesses the abilities accumulated by countless generations, starting with Kato Kiyomasa. If you don't practice and control them well, be careful that you might actually disappear one day."

This is not a lie, but the truth.

If it were the everyday world of the past, Kato Megumi would at most have a low sense of presence, but in today's world, it goes without saying that if Kato Megumi doesn't pay attention, she might become like Senior Mai one day.

"I understand." Kato Hui, who had been troubled by the problem of her presence for many years, became a little nervous. She glanced at Jiang Lianqiu carefully and whispered, "If Jiang needs me to use this ability to remain unnoticed to do anything, I will help you."

This has been seen through...

Meeting Kato Megumi's eyes, which showed no obvious emotional fluctuations, Jiang Lianqiu chuckled secretly.

Kato Megumi is worthy of the title of saint.

"But you can't break the law!" Finally, Kato Megumi puffed out her cheeks and added an insurance policy.

"It's okay. If you really break the law someday, I'll just abolish it." Jiang Lianqiu waved his hand. Seeing Kato Megumi sluggish and Shokaku snickering, he couldn't help but change his words, "Well! Since you've decided to handle your family affairs on your own, then come with me first."

"It would be helpful to quickly confirm whether Zuikaku is in the other two worlds."

……Dividing line……

It was not until sunset that Kato Megumi walked out of the Silver Crown Tower.

There were people coming and going around, and some office workers who were getting off work were walking in a hurry.

No one knew that the girl standing blankly outside the building had just returned from another world.

"It's like a dream."

Putting her hand on her forehead, squinting her eyes and looking up at the setting sun that gradually disappeared behind the distant buildings, Kato Megumi exhaled.

Although it was a bit regrettable that Zuikaku was not found, the news that Shokaku's sister should be safe also made Kato Megumi feel relieved.

"Kato-kun!!!!"

Suddenly, Kato Megumi heard a cry of surprise and joy.

She turned her head.

"Ah, Hiratsuka-sensei?"

"It's really you! Kato-san!" Shizuka Hiratsuka almost stumbled over and hugged Kato Megumi's shoulders. She couldn't stop looking at the girl. Seeing that her face was rosy and her clothes were neat and new, and there was nothing wrong with her, she breathed a sigh of relief. "That's great! You're okay!"

"Did Lian Qiu find you? I just told Lian Qiu about you this morning. I've been worried about you and decided to come over to check on you..."

"Lian Qiu is such a fool. Why didn't he tell me when he found you?"

"Oh right! Have you informed your parents? They're so worried..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka spoke one sentence after another, barely giving Kato Megumi any time to respond.

Chapter 244: Thanks to Miss Sirius for providing

The excited Shizuka Hiratsuka said a lot in one breath, which made Kato Megumi realize that her teacher was also looking for her.

She stepped back and apologized, "I'm sorry to have troubled Mr. Hiratsuka. I was just about to go home."

"That's it..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded in agreement, but then she thought of something. She looked around, pulled Kato Megumi closer to her, and whispered in a low voice: "Kato-san, these past few days you—"

"I'm fine." Kato Megumi raised her head and looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka expressionlessly.

Shizuka Hiratsuka opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but when she saw Kato Megumi's calm eyes, all the words were blocked in her throat.

"Speaking of which, I have a question." Kato Megumi tilted her head and asked, "Mr. Hiratsuka, it seems like you always notice me?"

This is what she has always wanted to ask.

For some reason, Shizuka Hiratsuka seemed to be immune to her low presence to a certain extent.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Hiratsuka Shizuka touched Kato Megumi's head, "You are my student. Is there anything wrong with my teacher paying attention to his students?"

No matter how you think about it, it's problematic.

Kato Megumi muttered to herself.

She knew very well what her current situation was. Her symptoms of low sense of existence were even more serious than before, but Shizuka Hiratsuka was able to notice her the first time on the busy street.

Perhaps, Mr. Hiratsuka is special.

Thinking of this, Kato Megumi got a headache again.

Because Shizuka Hiratsuka was there, the excuses she had prepared seemed unable to fool her family.

Because of the previous disappearance, Shizuka Hiratsuka was particularly concerned about Kato Megumi's safety. Thinking that she was going home, she said worriedly, "Since you plan to go back, then the teacher will drive you."
