"Boom, boom, boom..."

The sound of artillery fire tore the air, and the harsh explosion turned into a substantial airflow, causing waves more than one meter high, causing the ship girls who were already struggling to fight even more. The waste chips of the torpedo sank into the seabed after the explosion, and the burning gunpowder dyed the sea water black. Under the sea, countless deep seas drove out frantically from the seabed, and then rushed towards the ship girls on the seabed.

The black and shiny gun mouth, the hideous blood-red one-eyed, and the huge figure brought an unignorable sense of oppression to everyone.

They are just expelling.

"Bang!"

He raised the warship in his hand and waited for the ship girl to aim at the target, the oncoming shelling made them fall into a state of breaking.

One shot, just one attack from the enemy, is enough to make them lose their combat effectiveness.

However, no one knows what kind of damage the enemy's next attack will bring to them, themselves.

A big defeat or a sunk?

"Come on everyone!"

Turning back, a girl with short hair with brown hair in her ears shouted to the ship girl behind her: "The Admiral will send the main force here soon. Hold on for a while, and it will be fine!"

"The admiral will come, I will definitely!"

"The main force is behind us!"

"We must buy time for them!"

Countless ragged girls tried hard to bombard the enemies ahead with their broken weapons. They all tried their best, because this was the order of the admiral whom they loved - to pick up the weapons and fight the deep sea!

The companions were hit by artillery fire one after another, and the number of enemies was far beyond their imagination.

This is an unknown sea area, but they are not even considered a vanguard army...

"Why are we fighting? What are we fighting?" The lady standing on the sea, with long black straight hair, with her empty eyes open, staring at her enemies without any hesitation, and the poor little girls who are constantly dying.

Seven years have passed, how many times have I repeated the battle of that day and the sorrow deep in my heart. I clearly know more in my heart that what I see now is just a nightmare that is constantly repeating!

But why...

‘Stop, it’s enough.’

Why can't you forgive yourself?

‘It’s enough!’

Forgive the mistakes you made.

‘Please stop, please...’

Also, the cursed self.

"Stop!!!"

Fight desperately, fight everything, and even if you run out of ammunition, you must defeat the deep sea that is blocking in front of you.

But, unknowingly.

The girl she was familiar with disappeared, and the figures she was familiar with disappeared one after another in her own world.

"It's strange, they are just expelling them, probably on the expedition behind, admiral?" The dream longmen stood in the admiral's office, looking at the man sitting behind the desk, she tried to make herself smile at him: "But why, why, why are they missing, from our custodian..."

"Yes, no," tears oozed in her eyes: "Please tell me, okay, those kids, those kids, where did they go?!"

The hoarse cry echoed in the office, but the man was not moved at all.

"Don't you already know, Nagato..."

"They can't come back anymore," the man's voice was so calm, but in Nagato's ears, it was more terrifying than anything: "I'll never come back."

The man's eyes met Nagato's tearful face and said coldly: "Just like Muro!"

Nagato was trembling. She didn't want to believe it or admit that this fact had actually happened!

"What, how could that happen?"

"How could the admiral do such a thing, admiral?"

"How could it be..."

The crying stopped, Nagato gritted his teeth tightly, a bang blocking her gaze, but the man knew that she was asking herself why she had to make that decision.

From some time on, familiar faces disappeared one after another, replaced by strange children, and then one day, these children would disappear inexplicably.

Where did they go?

Why did it disappear?

Until he heard the answer from his respected admiral, Nagato still couldn't believe this fact: "Yes, I've gone to the battlefield, and I've gone to fight the deep sea..."

Nagato no longer shed tears. She looked at the admiral, her eyes still with tenderness and affection: "Admiral, you were just accidentally, and those children, they were just lost. Because they were so happy to play, they forgot the way home..."

"Accidentally, this kind of evaluation!" The man told this fact softly: "I have never relaxed my vigilance about this war from beginning to end!"

In the office, on the bright marble floor, Nagato bowed his head and said nothing.

"Can you tell me..." Lost, dim, unbelievable, all kinds of emotions were all covered, Nagato asked, "Why do you do this?"

"Why, isn't this very obvious?" The man raised his head, and on top of the two men, there were countless deep sea strongholds marked on a huge chart: "Everything I did, all for the victory of this battle!"

All, for the victory of this battle!

"They are still children..."

"But they are ship girls!" A firm tone, cold answered without any human emotions, he defined all ship girls: "In order to win, we must make a choice. Any battle, any war, sacrifice is inevitable!"

He raised his head and looked directly at Nagato and said, "Their sacrifice is to obtain this victory, to the future of all mankind, and to give their lives for it. For the ship girl, isn't this their most glorious destination?!"

Going home...

Yes, isn’t the destination of all ship girls just sacrifice?

Fighting for the Admiral and offering his life and all his love to the Admiral is, for all ship ladies, this is their most belonging choice and the best fate: "Is it like, Muo?"

"ah!"

It seemed that when he thought of Muo, the man showed an admiring smile: "She has indeed made the most correct choice!"

Yes, Muo is indeed a very outstanding child.

‘Nakamon, he has always been a strong person, the back that has been there, really, really wants to catch up,’ In his arms, the girl’s body is getting heavier and heavier, and her body sinks into the sea little by little. Nagamon tried his best to grab her hand, but he was unable to stop: ‘You can no longer fight for the admiral with Nagamon...’

‘Take good care of them, sister.’

The girl's voice and gentle smile, she was obviously her sister, but why couldn't even realize her last wish?

Why...

"Sister Nagato, we are going to the expedition!"

"In order to make you on the frontline fight better, we must also work hard to gain resources!"

"Come on, everyone!"

"Oh! Oh! Oh!"

"When you come back, let's play together~~~"

Those innocent and trustworthy smiles are innocent...

"Sorry, Muro, I, sure enough," two dark muzzles spread out in the office. Nagato raised his head and his ruby-like eyes stared coldly at the man in front of him. Her admiral, tears flowed down Nagato's cheeks: "I can't forgive..."
