“…Thank you.” Loki dusted himself off and quietly looked at Little White for a while. “Then I will keep the secret.”
"Huh? What secret?"
“Her.” Loki pointed to the Deep Sea Yamato behind Whitebeard.
"……"noob.
Done.
Loki bowed to both Whitebeard and Yamato, then, as if nothing had happened, walked with maid-like steps and a maid-like back, pushed open Whitebeard's door and left.
The doorman, Yamato, silently watched Loki leave the room, quickly closed the door, and ran to Whitebeard's side.
"What's going on? This atmosphere seems to be evenly matched with us." Deep Sea Yamato sat down next to Shiro and said to Shiro.
“Miss Loki, like you, Yamato, really want to stay in human society,” Shiro said to Yamato with a smile.
"...How can I see it?"
"When you grabbed Miss Loki just now, Yamato-neechan, Miss Loki struggled so hard, but she didn't actually use the power of the Abyssal Fleet, right?" Shiro said. "If Miss Loki had summoned the Abyssal Fleet equipment to resist at that time, she wouldn't have been able to continue living here under the noses of so many ship girls around her."
“…Oh.” Yamato Fukami nodded slightly.
“However, this also shows that the Ella family really treats Miss Loki well,” White said to Yamato. “I’m getting more and more curious about why Miss Loki gave up the sea and came to their family back then—it seems I need to find more opportunities to chat with Miss Loki later.”
“Chatting…” Shenhai Yamato looked helplessly at Xiaobai who was smiling. She sighed, but her eyes suddenly lit up. “Ah! Right, speaking of chatting.”
"what happened?"
Shiro looked at Yamato Deep Sea with curiosity.
Deep Sea Yamato sat up straight, facing Shiro.
“Xiaobai, I just remembered what you said about chatting.” Shenhai Yamato said to Xiaobai, “The reason I came to your room to wait for you this time is not only to chat with you and to be punished by Akagi to face the wall, but also because of something very important.”
"What's going on?"
"Xiaobai, step back a little." Shenhai Yamato pushed Xiaobai.
Xiaobai was curious, but still listened to Shenhai Yamato's words, stood up, and took several steps back.
Under Yamato's command, Shiro retreated all the way to the other side of the room before stopping.
"Is this okay?"
"It seems almost done."
Yamato nodded, then raised his hand and made a serious gesture towards the floor.
A black and red light flashed across Yamato's palm.
There was a boom.
The massive half of the cannon barrel fell to the floor amidst a cloud of dark red smoke, causing the floor to tremble slightly upon impact.
"Little White, look."
"510."
Chapter 1530 Salary Increase
"Boom!"
The half-cannon barrel that the Deep Sea Yamato pulled out of its ship's equipment space fell onto the floor of the room, making a loud noise.
This is a battleship main gun that is extraordinary, judging from the length and thickness of its barrel alone.
Xiaobai was startled by the main cannon that Deepsea Yamato pulled out.
"Yamato-neechan, this..."
"Don't ask, the answer is 510. If you ask again, you'll say you found it."
Deep Sea Yamato sat down on the floor, reaching out to rub the broken cannon barrel on the floor, as if sharing some treasure with Shiro.
It seems.
Deepsea Yamato seems to care a lot about this main gun.
"510..."
Xiaobai blankly repeated Shenhai Yamato's words, then turned his gaze with some surprise to the main gun barrel on the floor.
Main gun.
Having served as admiral for so long, Xiaobai is not unfamiliar with main guns.
The main gun is the battleship's most lethal weapon.
Compared to the fast-loading and flexible-angle attacking secondary guns and anti-aircraft guns, the main guns of battleships not only had a slow loading speed, but even their attack angles and rotation speeds were much stiffer than those of the flexible secondary guns.
But even so.
As a trade-off for sacrificing most of its agility and speed, the battleship's main guns possess incredibly terrifying damage capabilities and a long range. Once they hit an enemy and trigger a critical hit, it's a one-shot kill, instantly emptying the enemy's health bar. This exhilarating and oppressive feeling is the charm of the main guns, which are incomparable to ordinary secondary guns.
Attack power is always the most dazzling attribute of a battleship's main guns.
In Xiaobai's memory, the Yamato Gun possessed by the Deep Sea Yamato was the pinnacle of main guns in the world.
Full caliber shells!
Attack power maxed out!
Three large steel pipes are linked together!
The beautiful cannon body, the sturdy and reliable base, and the three barrels that bring three times the romance, the terrifying sense of intimidation brought by each shot can make the enemy fear before the battle even begins!
Xiaobai always thought that no main gun could outperform the Yamato gun in terms of caliber.
until now.
"510... the main gun..."
Little White murmured in amazement, carefully walked to the side of the cannon barrel, and began to carefully observe the main cannon barrel on the ground.
The barrel of the 510 main gun was completely pure black, and faint blackish-red smoke emanated from the barrel. Just by placing it on the floor of the room, one could feel a deep and murderous aura emanating from the barrel.
Shiro looked at the deep sea and Yamato.
"I heard Akagi mention before that you, Yamato, fought the leader of the Deep Sea Fleet on the sea... Could this main gun be...?"
“That’s right.” Yamato Akagi nodded smugly, slapping his hand on the cannon barrel. “This is the equipment I got from that woman.”
"It's alright that it exploded..." Xiaobai smiled, walked around the 510 main gun barrel, and went to Abyssal Yamato's side, sighing to Abyssal Yamato, "How should I put it... the caliber of this main gun is really big..."
"Right. It's a main gun that's so big that it's hard to find any other words to describe it..." Abyssal Yamato nodded with a sigh, holding her chest. "Really... is this what a planned ship is like? It's really quite reckless."
"Hmm? A planned ship? Who's that?" Xiaobai asked curiously.
"A super Yamato!"
"Huh? Yamato-neechan, do you know about Super Yamato?"
"With the internet so developed now, you can just Google it afterward," Abyssal Yamato said, shrugging at Shiro. "Super Yamato... historically, it should be considered the ship class that follows me. It was originally slated for development and construction after the Yamato battleship entered service."
Speaking of it.
Deep Sea Yamato opened his palm, speaking to Shiro while gently pressing down his fingers.
"Yamato-class, then the Super Yamato-class." Deep-sea Yamato pressed down on its index and middle fingers. "Although I don't think the Super Yamato-class is stronger than me... but the Super Yamato-class is still my junior, right?"
"...So, what did you mean by the planned ship you just mentioned, Yamato-neechan?"
"The Super Yamato-class battleships were never actually built—because the Yamato-class battleship sank... The era of big battleships and giant guns had ended."
Deep Sea Yamato said to Shiro,
"Whether it was the Super Yamato-class or the twin 510mm main guns mounted on its hull, these were ultimately just drafts on paper and were eventually shelved when the project was cancelled."
"Oh I got it."
Xiaobai nodded.
"Equipment and ships that should never appear in the world, and whose plans are only at the level of wishful thinking drafts and blueprints, have still inexplicably appeared on the high seas." As Abyssal Yamato spoke, she touched half of the cannon barrel and muttered under her breath, "Abyssal amphibious ships and ship girls... they are truly terrifying existences."
“After all, it’s a planned ship…” Xiaobai smiled.
Although Deepsea Yamato looked like it had seen a ghost, Shiro wasn't as surprised by the existence of Super Yamato as Deepsea Yamato.
After all, ship girls and deep-sea amphibious ships are very similar in nature. There are quite a few planned ships in the ship girl camp, just in the newbie naval base. Now that a planned ship has emerged as the deep-sea dean, it is only natural.
However... perhaps for Abyssal Yamato, the emergence of this "Super Yamato" project ship made her feel even more uneasy.
Xiaobai sat down next to Shenhai Yamato.
"noob."
"Deep Sea Yamato called out."
"Ok?"
Shiro turned his head to look at Abyssal Yamato.
Yamato also turned to look at Shiro.
Yamato's gaze gradually became sincere.
"After saying all that, what I really mean is..." Yamato asked earnestly, "Since I brought back this main gun to our naval base this time, does that mean I get another raise?"
"……"noob.
Uh.
Perhaps Yamato's feelings weren't as bad as Shiro imagined.
"Add, add whatever you want!" Xiaobai chuckled and nodded to Shenhai Yamato, "Yamato-neechan has done a great service to our naval base this time, especially with this 510 main gun, she'll definitely get a raise."
"Yay!" Yamato Fukami's eyebrows lit up with joy, and she jumped up on the spot, waving her arms expectantly. "Then, Shiro, how much of a raise will I get this time?"
"Hmm... let me think about it." Xiaobai touched her lips and pondered for a while.
Talk about it.
Because Lexington had never expected Yamato to help in the war, the monthly salary the naval base paid Yamato, even after several raises by Lexington, was only at the level of a domestic maid in human society, far from the salary of a true ship girl.
The current Abyssal Yamato has been upgraded to a newbie's marriage ship, and her status is different from before. Most importantly, Abyssal Yamato will now fight for the newbie's naval base and fulfill her responsibility as a "ship girl". It is indeed not suitable for the original price.
Ok.
makes sense.
It's about time for a proper raise...
Xiaobai lowered his arm and looked at Shenhai Yamato.
Deep Sea Yamato blinked, looking at Shiro with great anticipation.
"Yamato-neechan, I've made up my mind."
"Have you thought it through!" Yamato's eyebrows lit up with joy, his face full of ingratiating smiles. "So, Shiro, how much are you going to add this time? Ten percent, or twenty percent? If it's thirty, forty, five, six, or seven percent, that would be great! Hehe... Of course, doubling it would be even better..."
"neither."
Xiao Bai smiled and shook his head.
"Huh?" Yamato Akagi was taken aback. "None of them?"
"Ah."
"Then... does it mean an extra thousand dollars? Or two thousand dollars?" Deep Sea Yamato pouted, looking down at her fingers with a wronged expression. "...Well, okay, if Shiro wants it this way, then so be it. After all, even a mosquito bite is still meat..."
"Not at all."
"...Wow, no way. It's only a few hundred yen... That's not even enough to buy Musashi a sausage..." Deep Sea Yamato's eyes immediately welled up with tears, her gaze towards Shiro filled with pleading and grievance, "Shiro..."
"Yamato-neechan, don't guess too low..." Shiro shook her head, not wanting to keep her in suspense any longer. She held up one finger to Yamato, "Yamato-neechan, how about you raise your salary to this level from now on?"
"These?" Yamato looked at Shiro's fingers and suddenly paused. "This... how much is this?"
“One,” Shiro said to Yamato, “one Saratoga. How about you raise your salary to the level of Saratoga, Yamato-neechan?”
Yamato was taken aback.
"Saratoga?"
"Yes, Saratoga."
"...Uh, how much is Saratoga's salary?" Yamato asked.
