In a remote corner of the scorched earth, the sounds of childish quarrels were heard. Yukikaze and Asanagi, neither willing to give in, were seen grabbing each other's cheeks.

Seeing the cat-fox loli battle in front of them, the beautiful young Chu Yue beside them couldn't help but smile like a little devil. She raised a pair of white devil horns and said with a girlish giggle: "Hey, hey, why don't you just have a fight."

"Wait, everyone, isn't the most important thing right now to find the commander as soon as possible?!"

Looking at Yukikaze and the others who still had the leisure to bicker with each other, Owari, who had finally found his companions, naturally looked at Hatsutsuki and the others who were gathered here with great confusion, until finally he looked at Amagi who looked very sick in the middle.

"Ahem, because the Siren may have already infiltrated our ranks. It would be risky to rashly approach the Commander."

Looking at the clumsy Owari Yangmei-sister who didn't like to think, Amagi, who was as quiet as an orchid in the valley, explained meaningfully after turning the red umbrella in his hand.

"First, they used space devices to shift the coordinates between our shipgirls as much as possible, then took the opportunity to disguise themselves as a companion and sneak in. Finally, under the pretext of protecting the commander, they captured the Lord in one fell swoop."

"These are all methods that the Siren is likely to use, so we certainly need to be on guard."

That's right, this is also the reason why they prefer to let Yunxian guard the commander alone. The more ship girls accompany him, the easier it is for the sirens who can mimic shapes to sneak in.

"Ah, but weren't Suruga and the others trapped outside the Sakura Empire by that transformable observer?"

"Is she really the true observer? You know, there are quite a few Sirens."

Looking at the somewhat naive Owari, Amagi finished his words and then subtly looked at everyone who had just gathered around him.

Because there was no chance that the cunning and sinister observer had actually sneaked in, they did not dare to look for their beloved commander before confirming each other's identities with secret codes.

Chapter 157 Now that things have come to this, let’s pet the cat first!

At the base of the withered giant tree trunk, leaning against the built Sakura Shrine.

Luo Yi, with a face full of curiosity, followed Yunxian and Shinano into this completely unknown space.

Although he was running the risk of being hit hard by the Sirens at any time, collecting necessary intelligence was an important war quality, and he could only take a small risk just in case.

"I didn't expect that even though this temple building looked like a scorched earth from the outside, its interior was actually very well preserved, as if it was being held together by some powerful force."

The cloud-purple double cherry blossom robe opened all the way to the side of the abdomen. When Yunxian stepped into the interior of the temple, he quickly noticed that the surrounding main body was intact. Even the paintings on the pillars in the atrium, although old, could still be seen clearly.

"There's no doubt that this is the design of the Sakura Empire building."

Just as Yunxian was carefully gathering intelligence with the vision of a great sage, Luo Yi suddenly shuddered when he saw something, then stretched out his hand stiffly and tugged at the purple-white sleeve of Yunxian next to him.

"Yunxian, rather than doing some archaeological work, I think it would be better for you to quickly unearth all your ship-mounted cannons. If that doesn't work, you could just pick up your dear commander and run away."

"What's wrong, Commander?"

In response to Luo Yi's earnest suggestion, Yun Xian immediately followed Luo Yi's gaze and turned to the temple courtyard where they could bathe in the blood moon.

The open-air atrium was covered with cracks, and in those cracks, some strange sticky liquid, like venom, gradually overflowed from them and condensed into shaky puppets.

Obviously, this is definitely not a technological product with a mechanical structure like the Siren, but an extremely strange and bizarre existence.

Hey, hey, hey, are you kidding me? The war between the Sirens and the ship girls was already a science fiction war for him, but now this magical scene appears!

Faced with the extremely strange black liquid, Luo Yi, who immediately entered the four-speed state, would certainly not stand there stupidly like in some horror movies. Instead, he immediately pushed Shinano, who was lying on the pile of dream butterflies next to him, and prepared to retreat in advance, preferably never to come in again.

And obviously, a bloated fat fox like Shinano, who is ethereal and extremely lacks exercise, is the type that cannot escape quickly.

It would be fine if it was on the sea, but on land, with the speed of the dream butterfly, Shinano might not be able to run as fast as an ordinary person.

"Something's wrong, everyone, retreat!"

Just when Luo Yi took advantage of the fact that the black liquid had not yet completely condensed and flew away with the fat fox, never to come back, Yunxian and Shinano, who had no reaction, raised their delicate hands.

In an instant, the purple, white and gold cruiser outfit and the cobalt blue aircraft carrier deck appeared beside Shinano and the others at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, just a few bombs dropped by the micro-bomber caused an exaggerated explosion in the atrium of the entire temple. As for Yunxian, she stood in front of Luo Yi in time.

In just a few seconds, the once majestic temple was reduced to ruins, just like a large stadium that had been blown up on one side. Luo Yi could see the charred earth outside from the ruins in front of him.

No wonder there are no heavy firepower like tanks and cannons in horror movies.

As expected! Powerful firepower can overcome and resolve all fears!

After witnessing the tragic scene of everything being reduced to ashes, Luo Yi was silent for a moment and then shrugged silently. He then pulled at Shinano's loose blue-black shrine maiden robe and buried his head in Shinano's fox mountain, which was almost the same size as Musashi.

Feeling this indescribable sense of security, Luo Yi also realized the gap in thinking between humans and ships.

"fox!?"

As Shinano allowed the commander to seek comfort, a thoughtful Yunxian murmured, "It seems to be an unknown filthy thing, and this temple should actually have the power to isolate them."

"Don't worry, Commander. I know a thing or two about not only seals, but also Feng Shui and spiritual veins."

Having said this, Yunxian, full of the bearing of a sage, continued to walk towards his residence deep in the temple.

Soon, when Shinano, with a blushing face, came in holding Luo Yi, a place that was obviously a private boudoir appeared in front of Yunxian and the others.

"So this is the temple's residence?"

Looking at the boudoir layout in front of them, which was full of the charm of the ship girls and had an obvious feminine atmosphere, Yunxian and Shinano couldn't help but look around with some surprise.

Because...this Japanese-style boudoir clearly still has some traces of life left.

In other words, there might be so-called survivors in this completely ruined world, but they have already left?

Just when Yunxian and the others were feeling extremely surprised, Luo Yi no longer took the opportunity to suck the fox from Shinano's arms, but took the initiative to walk to the wardrobe and opened it without hesitation.

"commander?"

"Let's just confirm my identity. This place has been abandoned anyway."

Facing the subtle gazes of Shinano and the others, Luo Yi smiled and winked, saying, "Even if it's your Sakura Empire clothing, you can at least tell their general identities, right?"

That’s right! In fact, the costumes of the Sakura Empire’s shipgirls are all very exquisite.

Unlike the noble and luxurious clothes of the Royal Camp, the clothes of the Sakura Empire Camp basically have additional designs. For example, Akagi and Kaga have hollow openings near the tail vertebrae in their undergarments to make it easier for their fluffy fox tails to stick out.

Naturally, the beast-eared girls like Yuudachi all have the need to release their tails.

Even ship girls like Owari and Ohyama, whose tails are not obvious, will have loose designs.

As for the current commander, through increasing experience, he has perfectly mastered the ability to identify ship girls just by looking at their boudoirs.

"It's obvious that the person living here should be a big cat-eared sister from the heavy cherry blossom season."

After taking a look at the carefully folded Anya costumes, Luo Yi frowned and said, "She still looks like a cat-eared shrine maiden."

"..."

"W-What are you doing? Looking at the Commander like that."

Facing the subtle gaze of Shinano and the others, Luo Yi didn't know what to say for a moment.

Because he was really in the wrong. For example, the bunny tail of Shimakaze's little rabbit looked like a ball of glutinous rice, so he couldn't help but swallow it in one gulp.

"Huh~ Besides Fuso and the others, there are also Yugurashi and the others, so there are still many possibilities."

"But maybe she's not a shipgirl anymore..."

After saying these thought-provoking words, Yunxian thought of a helper and then sighed softly.

At this moment, a rumbling sound suddenly rang out from outside, echoing throughout the sky.

Looking out from the window of the boudoir, one could see large amounts of black mud emerging from the dense cracks in the charred earth.

"Ouch, that's broken."

Luo Yi was about to say something about this expected development when he heard bursts of loud explosions coming from outside.

In just a short while, the Owari and other ships formed a fleet and blew up the earth until they gathered towards Luo Yi.

"Looks like it's Amagi and the others."

After seeing that many companions had gathered together, Yunxian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, upon hearing this, Luo Yi suddenly remembered a possibility and couldn't help but look at Shinano and Yunxian beside him and asked, "Do you think there is an observer among them?"

"Ah la la, Commander, don't worry, Amagi and the others will definitely be able to confirm each other's identities."

Looking at Luo Yi who was obviously suffering from psychological trauma, Yunxian smiled without saying a word and then released the butterfly shadow to guide Chao Nagi and the others outside to meet up at the temple.

Although he didn't understand why the Siren threat hadn't become imminent, Yunxian certainly hoped that more colleagues would help escort the commander.

So not long after, the young and beautiful Chu Yue and her friends appeared in front of Luo Yi and the others.

"Ahehehe, don't worry Commander, everything will be fine as long as Chuyue is here."

Looking at Luo Yi who was not seriously injured, Chu Yue put on a devilish smile and excitedly made a cute scissors hand gesture towards Luo Yi. She said confidently: "Sister Liang Yue and the others are helping to block the outside of Chongying. There is no way the Siren can get in."

After all, even if the space of their main island of Sakura City was changed, they still had to step into their main island of Sakura City in advance.

Really? Now that things have come to this, let’s just play with the cat and calm down!

Realizing that the situation was developing in a safe direction, Luo Yi felt a little relieved and the next second he looked at Asanagi and Yukikaze, who were standing with their hands on their hips and looked equally arrogant.

But compared to a pure fox kid like Asanagi, Yukikaze clearly has a sense of tsundere.

Seeing this, Luo Yi couldn't help but pick up Xuefeng, and then slowly placed him on the platform next to him that looked like a cat climbing frame.

"Wait a minute! Commander, what do you think of the great Yukikaze-sama?!"

Xuefeng blushed and couldn't help but tighten her snow-white cat ears when she saw Luo Yi's way of holding a pet cat.

"Cat."

Admiring Xuefeng's tsundere yet shy demeanor, Luo Yi, feeling cheerful, couldn't help but tease, "By the way, Xuefeng, how about the Commander giving you a cat litter box?"

"Xue-Xuefeng doesn't know how to use a litter box, meow!"

Having said that, Xuefeng, who was so scared that his fur stood on end, couldn't help but tighten his cat tail.

After all, putting her on a cat climbing frame does make some sense, but asking her to use a litter box is a joke. She is a KanColle!

Looking at Xuefeng who was even scared by the sound of meow, Luo Yi couldn't help but shook his head with some regret.

There was no way. As the most clueless commander, he still wanted to appreciate the funny look of Xuefeng digging the cat litter box.

Unfortunately, this shameful way of playing is really hard to accept for the innocent Xuefeng. But it doesn’t matter. He might as well trick Xuefeng into making sand piles another day.

"My Lord, I suggest that we just wait here."

Realizing that the current situation was very stable, Amagi, who was weak and out of breath due to jogging all the way, couldn't help but smile subtly. You know, no matter which ship girl, the commander's safety is the most important thing.

However, she really couldn't figure out what Siren's plan was. Until now, she always felt that it was anticlimactic.

Just when Tiancheng couldn't help but feel confused, Shinano, who closed his eyes and sensed, quickly learned about the situation on the front battlefield through the dream butterfly contact on Changmeng's side.

"Mikasa-sama and the others have already begun to encircle and suppress those Sirens. As for the Observer, who poses the greatest threat, he is also under the surveillance and suppression of Musashi and the others."

After listening to Shinano's report, Yunxian and the others, who also felt that something was not right, could not help but nodded.

However, until the next second, an extremely familiar and seductive voice sounded clearly in the sky above the Sakura Temple.

[Hehe, I don't know if you guys have noticed, but the META energy here is quite vibrant.]

The silver hair that reached her ankles fluttered in the breeze. On the withered giant tree trunk above the temple, the observer, with one hand on his chin, stared at the charred temple below, and at the same time, he openly and jokingly announced to the inside of the temple through the loudspeaker.

In an instant, Xuefeng and the others, surprised at the observers who seemed to have no concerns about being noticed by them, could not help but nervously gather around the commander.

However, Luo Yi did not seem particularly surprised at this moment.

Because according to his understanding of that kind of ultimate black-bellied loli, with the absolute advantage in intelligence, if there is no plan at all, he will feel a sense of unreality.

"Huh, Xuefeng, come here and let the commander rub the cat's head again."

"Wait a minute, Commander. Now doesn't seem like the time to joke around."

Seeing that Luo Yi even had the leisure to pet the cat, Owari couldn't help but turn sideways and tilt her pretty head towards Luo Yi, and thoughtfully reminded him: "But don't worry, we have sent a distress signal."

"Ki and the others who were originally responsible for encircling the Sirens will give priority to supporting the commander."

After realizing that the observer outside the main island of Sakura Empire was probably in disguise, Owari and the others were still confident that they could protect the commander until Haku and the others rushed back.

Because, even if they let go of the Siren ship girls who came to their door, they still have to focus on the commander.

"No, don't call them in! Since that Observer guy has deliberately started to mock us, we obviously can't proceed with the normal response."

"As the Lord said, the other party's goal may have been achieved."

Looking worriedly at Luo Yi who was rubbing the cute Xuefeng with his hands, Tiancheng now realized that in the absence of intelligence, it was really difficult for them to predict the Siren's plan. They only knew that the other party wanted to kidnap their commander.

[Ah la la, my ignorant undercover, it seems you have learned your lesson. ]

After floating down from the sky, the observer with delicate bare feet finally stood in front of Luo Yi again, revealing an inscrutable loli playfulness.
