Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

However, in the early hours of the morning, there was an extra tombstone here.

There is still no name engraved on the stone tablet, which is the stubbornness of the young man.

When the girl saw the tombstone, she went to eavesdrop on the boy and others and got a rough idea of ​​the situation.

The girl seemed to notice some problems late at night, but neither her radar nor the port's defense radar found anything unusual.

Because the patrol had just returned and the new patrol had not yet set off, the girl planned to take a look around to check the situation and confirm safety.

Since she had no intention of going to the distant sea, she made the decision after thinking about it and set off alone.

She was the boy's initial ship. Even at this time, there were many ship girls in the port area, many of whom were stronger than her, but she always had a place as the boy's secretary ship.

This time, however, she made a wrong decision.

The reason why the radar did not detect the enemy was that the enemy was underwater, and because the defense radar level in the port area was insufficient, the enemy was not detected.

By the time she realized this, her sailing legs had been damaged, and her mobility and flexibility had been greatly reduced.

Although she sent out the signal immediately, she had no room to escape from the many submarines that were lurking over at any time.

Luck protected the girl, but the number of torpedoes was no longer a problem that luck could solve.

The number of bullets she was getting was increasing, and she knew she could never go back.

Before she sank into the water, she tried her best to protect her communication system and sent the last piece of information.

Then...disappeared into the dark sea.

This was not a distant sea, but when the fleet arrived and searched ten minutes later, she had completely disappeared.

There was no wreckage, no bodies, just a piece of communications equipment lying on the seabed and being fished out.

The boy came in person on a destroyer and frantically wanted to go into the water himself, but was stopped by other ship girls.

He is just an ordinary person, and the water at this time is not safe.

They searched there for several days, and the boy took the ship and followed the ship girls out to search everywhere every day.

The girl started to follow the boy from this moment on. She wanted to see how the boy changed.

Day by day, little by little, his change did not happen overnight, but was gradually eroded and changed by despair in the process of searching.

His smile had disappeared since the girl followed him. Looking at the others, it seemed that he had been like this since the day the girl disappeared.

Months of searching continued, but normal affairs still had to operate, and the war continued.

Until one day, he went out with the fleet as usual, but this time he was attacked by a well-prepared enemy.

During the battle, several stray bullets hit the ship he was on, and then the scene that the girl saw last time happened.

This is just an ordinary light cruiser, which is vulnerable to enemy ships.

Just a stray bullet almost destroyed the light cruiser, and the heavy damage to the bridge he was on also completely panicked his shipmates.

They rushed him back to the port area, rescued him and sent him to the hospital.

It seemed that it took a lot of time to recover from his injuries and be discharged from the hospital, but after being discharged from the hospital, he no longer asked to go out with the fleet.

But the girl saw what she wanted to know, and the boy began to take the initiative to change himself.

He adjusted his condition first, and a smile appeared on his face again.

But this time, his smile changed.

Still gentle and warm, but it always makes people feel a little strange.

Moreover, his smile began to only appear in front of other ship girls. When he was at work and when he was alone, the smile completely disappeared from his face.

The girl watched as his smile changed from normal to normal little by little, and finally it seemed like he was back to before... But he was still expressionless when he was alone.

He began to leave the port area frequently. I don't know how long it took, but he found a few people to come back to train himself.

Starting from Zhamabu and physical training, he started to learn something that seemed to be the traditional martial arts of Donghuang.

It seems a little late in terms of age, but it doesn't seem too late.

Not only that, he also began to learn how to fight at sea, learn history, and learn mechanical knowledge.

He is learning more and more and has less and less free time.

But even so, he would still squeeze out a few hours every day to play with the ship girls in the port area.

Sometimes it’s playing games with the girls on the small ships, and sometimes it’s chatting or walking with the girls on the big ships.

He seemed to have completely come out of the haze, but only the omnipresent girl knew that this boy had never come out.

He engraved that haze in his heart, and that haze became the fundamental motivation for him to study and exercise like crazy, allowing him to grow at an extraordinary speed.

He began to be able to take over a large amount of work in the port area and began to participate in discussions on ship equipment and other aspects.

His physical fitness is improving rapidly, and his skills are getting better day by day.

But in contrast, he appears to be much more restrained when dealing with the outside world than before, and even appears a little weak at times.

As long as it is for the resources that the ship girls need, he can bow his head to those who ridicule him without hesitation.

In order to stop those who had suffered losses from being attacked from cursing at the gates of Minato, he could bow down to them.

But his attitude failed to bring about good results, and his kindness only made those people worse.

These events that passed quickly in front of her made her anticipate the outcome, but that was a long time for the boy, and he was not aware of those problems.

Until one day, the girl who always liked to call the commander and drag him for a run returned to the port area in a mess.

The girl was scolded for no reason outside, but she didn't pay attention to what those people said.

She found a child who was being bullied by others, so she naturally went to protect that child.

So she was beaten by those people together.

Although she was a ship girl, she did not take action against those people, but her words could only make those people throw stones and mud harder.

The young man listened to her words in silence and kept cleaning the stains on her body.

The boy asked her to rest first, and he said he would go and see the child.

He did go, alone.

He did see the child, but in a stinking ditch.

The corpses were thrown on the putrid garbage pile like garbage, without any cover-up and no one cared.

The boy was holding bread and mineral water in his hand. These were intended to be given to the child, but he didn't need them anymore.

The boy returned to the port area silently, but the bullies also discovered him.

Curses and ridicules arose one after another.

Those people don't care how much he and his shipgirls put in and work hard.

All they care about is that their beaches are restricted, their food becomes more expensive, and their supplies are limited because shipping lanes cannot maintain stability.

They think these are all his problems, because he is the admiral and he obviously has many ship girls under him.

'They exist to protect us! '

The moment these words were shouted angrily, the young man raised his head.

His eyes were red and bloodshot.

His teeth were clenched together like a ferocious evil ghost.

The men were startled, but they quickly calmed down.

'Don't be afraid, he doesn't dare to do anything to us. '

'It was him who was at fault. Why is he looking at us like that? '

The boy's actions gave them the answer, and also made the girl dumbfounded.

The gentle and kind-hearted young man punched the guy in front of him, hitting his Adam's apple cleanly and directly.

One punch and the person dies instantly.

The others froze, but not him.

He took out the conspicuous dagger from the man's body. He knew that this man had a weapon, because he had used this dagger to cut the throat of the child protected by his ship girl. He saw the wound. .

The dagger slit the second man's throat and stabbed the third man in the back of the head.

He was like a bad wolf breaking into the flock of sheep, and those people died one after another in front of him.

There were people around who had been attracted by the commotion, but now no one dared to step forward.

A man who appears to be one of the parents pulls out a shotgun, but a second later a dagger flies out and stabs him in the eye.

The boy took the shotgun and... the killing continued.

The girl watched in shock as the young man was killing and roaring like crazy, with tears streaming down his face and laughing maniacally.

Everyone around him fled, and he killed everyone who tried to fight back.

The bodies of the first few people were not even spared. The shotgun bullets and the kitchen knife snatched from someone's hand completely turned them into pieces.

The boy was holding a shotgun that had no ammunition in one hand and a kitchen knife full of gaps in the other, standing there blankly.

The empty streets were littered with corpses, and the smell of blood was so strong that the sea breeze could not dissipate it.

The boy looked at Minato and then at the people who were looking at him in horror on the other side of the street, and smiled suddenly.

"Ah...I see."
