“As the reconnaissance fleet’s Enterprise and Lexington, the striking fleet’s Bismarck, the escort fleet’s Yamato Musashi, and the support fleet’s Kaga Shinano have all now arrived at the predetermined battle positions,” Chen Yu said, looking at the composed Hood and the seriously earnest 6th Destroyer Squadron standing before him, he issued his command, “The operation ahead is now in your hands, bring me back the glory of victory.”
“Rest assured, Commander, the Royal Navy shall secure victory for you,” Hood saluted Chen Yu, and the 6th Destroyer Squadron also saluted very seriously again, before they set off together towards the front.
Although these actions looked very conspicuous and unusual, in the setting of an anime convention filled with two-dimensional fans and cosplayers, the behavior of Hood and the 6th Destroyer Squadron was seen as just cosplaying and imitating, and not taken seriously.
In fact, many people, upon seeing the “lifelike” Hood and the 6th Destroyer Squadron, couldn’t stop taking photos with their cameras.
Everyone treated the 6th Destroyer Squadron and Hood as high-quality cosplayers, and nobody imagined that they were actual ship-girls.
Even a few cosplayers dressed as ship-girls approached them, wanting to take a group photo.
However, because of their mission, Hood politely declined these requests for photos and quickly reached Inomata Naoki and Tokairin Yūko, who were under surveillance by Enterprise and Lexington.
According to the pre-established battle plan, Dian, as the vanguard, approached Inomata Naoki and Tokairin Yūko, while the other three young girls hid with Hood, ready to provide reinforcement at any moment.
Among the 6th Destroyer Squadron, Dian was the most shy and bashful, but she was also the gentlest.
Regarding the task she was about to undertake today, Dian actually felt reluctant and guilty.
Because according to the battle plan, Dian had to pretend to be a lost child separated from her companions and seek help from Inomata Naoki and Tokairin Yūko.
In this process, she was to provide Naoki with an assist to help him win Tokairin Yūko’s affection.
However, for Dian, who had just been praised by the commander as a good child, although her intentions were good and it was a task given by the commander, Dian still felt a little guilty towards Inomata Naoki and Tokairin Yūko.
After all, good children shouldn’t lie and deceive.
But remembering that this was a task entrusted to her by the commander she respected most, and that the ultimate goal was to unite the two targets, Dian-chan, suppressing her guilt, walked up to Tokairin Yūko and gently tugged on her clothes.
“Hmm?
Hello, little one.
What’s the matter?
Did you grab your sister’s clothes because you need something?” Seeing a cute little girl clinging to her and the shyness and embarrassment in her eyes, Tokairin Yūko quickly squatted down to ask what Dian needed by pulling on her clothing.
Looking at Tokairin Yūko who was treating her so tenderly, Dian felt even more guilty and said with a teary voice, “I can’t find my sister!
Can you help me, big sister?”
“You can’t find your sister?
Did you come with your sister and now you’ve gotten separated?” Tokairin Yūko felt a soft spot in her heart being struck by the sight of Dian, with her timid demeanor asking for help, and immediately showed concern, overflowing with motherly affection, “Can you tell your sister what your name is?”
“My name is Dian.
I came with my sisters Akatsuki, Hibiki, and Rai.
There were a lot of people taking pictures of us, and after I finished taking photos, I didn’t see my sisters anymore,” Dian said, mentioning the names of the other three members of the 6th Destroyer Squadron and also giving the pre-made excuse for the situation.
Perhaps out of guilt or shyness, Dian felt her tears were already swirling in her eyes.
Seeing Dian on the verge of crying, Tokairin Yūko felt even more pity and quickly patted her little head, comforting her, “Don’t cry, don’t cry.
How about Big Sister takes you to find your sister, okay?”
“Mm, thank you, Big Sister!” Dian nodded obediently.
Inomata Naoki, standing by, watched this scene.
He felt like laughing but couldn’t because Dian indeed seemed about to cry.
After Tokairin Yūko finally comforted Dian, he asked her, “Kid, are you playing COSPLAY?
Xiao Xiang Lei Dian are the names of ship-girls, aren’t they?
Is one of your sisters one of the other three ship-girls?”
Faced with Inomata Naoki’s question, Dian hid shyly behind Tokairin Yūko, clinging to her body, and looked at Inomata timidly.
Seeing that he appeared to have no ill-intentions, she shyly nodded and said, “Dian is a ship-girl from the 6th Destroyer Squadron, that’s what the Commander told me.”
Hearing this, Inomata Naoki felt somewhat helpless as he clearly thought Dian was a little girl overly immersed in COSPLAY.
For these children, dressing up as anime or game characters is a very serious and sacred matter.
Oftentimes, children even show more full-hearted dedication and immersion than adults, so Inomata Naoki did not find it too odd that Dian said she was a ship-girl.
However, it made it inconvenient to look for her sisters she mentioned since the convention was so big, and there were many people COSPLAYing as popular characters from the 6th Destroyer Squadron.
It was hard for him to determine whether they were indeed the sisters Dian was looking for.
Even so, Inomata Naoki still tried to show a gentle smile to Dian and asked her, “So you mean your sisters are Akatsuki, Hibiki, and Rai?
Are they about the same age as you?
Where did you get separated from them?”
“Mm, Akatsuki-chan is only a little bit older than me.” Dian stretched out her little hand and made a “little bit” gesture, then pointed in a direction bustling with people and said, “Just now Dian got separated from Akatsuki-chan and the others over there.”
Hearing this, Inomata Naoki felt somewhat reassured.
Clearly, these were four children dressed up as the sisters Xiao Xiang Lei Dian, but the youngest, Dian, had gotten separated from her three older sisters.
With this information, it would be much easier to start the search.
After all, the 6th Destroyer Squadron was also a famous set of characters, and by asking around, they should be able to find the sisters Dian was talking about. fгeewebnovёl.com
Thinking this, Inomata Naoki said to Tokairin Yūko, “Tokairin, let’s help this kid find her sisters, shall we?
Sorry, looks like this will delay your viewing of the exhibition.”
“It’s all right, such a cute child must be really anxious about being separated from her sister.
Helping her is the right thing to do.” Tokairin Yūko, looking at Inomata Naoki, didn’t mind the disruption at all and enthusiastically said to Dian, “Dian-chan, Big Sister will take you to find your sisters now, okay?”
Dian nodded obediently and took Tokairin Yūko’s hand.
