Where do the others live?
“The Deep Sea Zuikaku lives over there, Barbarossa lives over there, the Deep Sea Hindenburg lives over there…” Kamikaze patiently pointed out the directions to Shiro, “and then… Frederick lives in the spire in the center of the city.”
“Oh… Friedrich, Barbarossa, Hindenburg in the Deep Sea, Savoy…” Shiro repeated Kamikaze’s words, pointing her finger in the area and counting them in her mind. But soon, she became curious again, “Huh? Wait a minute, Kamikaze-neechan, the direction you live in… why does it look so strange.”
"What's weird?"
“Logically speaking, your mutually exclusive living arrangements should be evenly distributed across the five corners of the city… But I just looked at your locations, and they seem a bit crowded and unevenly arranged… In contrast, that direction looks a bit empty. Why does no one live over there?” Xiaobai pointed in a direction.
"Hmm?" Kamikaze glanced in the direction Shiro was pointing. "Oh... over there."
"Sister Kamikaze, do you know?"
"There are only ruins and rubble over there, not a single building or house. It's normal that no one lives there."
“…Oh, right.” Little White nodded.
So it was just ruins...
That makes sense...
Xiao Bai glanced silently in the direction of the empty area and indeed found that there were no well-formed buildings there, but rather that everything had collapsed on the ground. From the perspective of urban zoning, the place where Xiao Bai was now was a residential area, while the ruins there were an industrial area. There were no guesthouses there, and most of them were ruins of industrial factories. As the city deteriorated, that area was also the first to collapse and lose its value.
Xiao Bai looked over there for a while.
suddenly.
In Xiaobai's vision, a black light flashed high above the ruins.
"Hmm?" Xiaobai stopped, rubbed her eyes, and looked at it curiously.
The black light disappeared.
It was just a hallucination that Xiaobai had just experienced.
Chapter 1984 The House of Divine Wind
"Good sister, what are you looking at?" Just as Xiaobai was focusing on the ruins, Shenfeng's voice came from in front of her.
"Ah... Sister Kamikaze, look over there... something seemed to have appeared over there just now." Shiro pointed in the direction of the ruins. "Is there anything special in the ruins area?"
"Hmm?" Kamikaze followed Shiro's finger and looked in the direction of the ruins. She narrowed her eyes, then shook her head indifferently. "No, as far as I know, that should just be an ordinary, boring ruin."
"Has Kamikaze-neechan been there?"
"I went there once when I was bored," Kamikaze replied casually.
"once?"
“Once is enough. I once thought about expanding that area into my territory, but after going there, I found it was all ruins and bare buildings, not a single complete structure. It was incredibly boring and nothing special. Expanding that kind of place into my territory wouldn't make any sense.” As Shenfeng said this, he gently pressed his lower back, stretched his upper body, and smiled at Xiaobai, “So when I went there, I only stayed for a short while before leaving.”
"But I just..."
"It must just be my imagination, my dear sister. Have you been getting enough rest lately?" Kamikaze smiled at Shiro.
"..." Xiaobai remained silent.
"Good little sister, shouldn't we focus our attention on something more valuable?" Kamikaze smiled at Shiro and pointed ahead. "It's good that you like to observe your surroundings, but... we're almost at your sister's house."
On the waterway ahead, high-rise buildings can already be clearly seen on both sides.
“…Oh, okay.” Xiaobai nodded gently and obediently looked away, but after Shenfeng turned around, Xiaobai’s gaze still swept towards the ruins area.
Kamikaze said... there's nothing there. What I just observed must have been my imagination...
Ok……
how to say.
Xiao Bai has excellent eyesight and a clear will. It's unlikely that hallucinations would occur to Xiao Bai, so he can be certain that the black light that just appeared in his field of vision was definitely not a hallucination, but something that really happened.
As for why Kamikaze just said there was nothing in the ruins area...
Xiaobai silently watched Shenfeng's retreating figure and quietly released the Admiral's Network.
High-ranking Deep Sea Deans like Kamikaze possess a certain level of mental power, enabling her to sense Shiro's Admiral Network. Therefore, Shiro was reluctant to use her mental power in front of the Deep Sea Deans in Chapter 8. However, to confirm the facts just now, Shiro carefully released her mental power and quietly sensed Kamikaze's state.
The admiral quickly responded online.
Xiao Bai withdrew from the Admiral Network, seemingly lost in thought.
Based on the feedback from the Admiral's network regarding Kamikaze's mental state, what she just said was likely true. Kamikaze genuinely believed there was nothing left in the ruined city.
It is clear that if there are any secrets in the ruins, they are things that Kamikaze is unaware of.
Thinking of this, Xiaobai raised an eyebrow.
That's a bit strange.
The ruins are right in front of us, but even Kamikaze, a local, doesn't know what's inside?
Just as Xiaobai was seriously thinking with his head down.
suddenly.
Xiao Bai felt like he had bumped into a soft wall.
"Ouch!" Xiaobai exclaimed instinctively, taking two steps back and looking ahead in confusion. She then realized that it was Shenfeng, who had been leading the way, who had suddenly stopped. "Uh... Sister Shenfeng? What's wrong?"
Xiao Bai was a little nervous.
Could it be... that my action of using the Admiral Network to check Kamikaze's mental state just now has been exposed?
Being mentally scanned by a stranger is an offensive act, whether it's a ship girl or a deep-sea dean. In a sense, it's no different from secretly taking pictures under a skirt. Once the target discovers and exposes it, it's perfectly reasonable to be beaten up.
Xiaobai nervously clutched his collar, cautiously watching Shenfeng.
Kamikaze slowly turned her head and smiled slightly at Shiro.
"Good sister."
"I-I'm here!"
"We've arrived," Kamikaze said kindly to Shiro, pointing to the buildings along the road.
"..." Xiaobai blinked, staring blankly at Shenfeng.
"My dear sister, what's wrong?"
"Uh...no, it's nothing...let's go in..." Xiaobai quickly shook her head, gently patted her chest, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Great.
It seems that Kamikaze was unaware of his own spiritual power.
"What a cute little sister~" Kamikaze chuckled softly, then turned and walked toward the building's entrance.
Kamikaze's residence was a well-preserved small building by the waterway. It was five or six stories high, not very tall, but its condition was among the best even in the entire ruined city, showing that Kamikaze must have put a lot of effort into choosing this place.
Kamikaze walked to the building's main entrance, turned back to give Shiro a mysterious smirk, then pushed open the door and went inside.
Xiao Bai swallowed hard and quickly followed.
As soon as Xiaobai stepped into the gate of the Kamikaze family's house, he was startled by the situation inside.
The interior decoration of the Kamikaze family's small building was completely different from the exterior style, and... it was surprisingly well decorated.
As soon as you step through the door, large swaths of pink wallpaper stretch from the entrance wall to the end of the corridor. The corridor is filled with all sorts of pink furniture, and colorful pebbles are piled up in the corners, sparkling in the sunlight. Various crystal chandeliers hang from the ceiling, one after another. Cartoon-style pendants that Xiaobai has never seen before hang freely from the crystal chandeliers. As Xiaobai walks in, the gentle breeze creates a tinkling sound of wind chimes that echoes from the entrance to the end of the corridor.
"Ah...this..." Xiaobai exclaimed in surprise, "Is this Sister Kamikaze's house?"
Good guy.
Xiaobai thought that Kamikaze, the head of the Deep Sea Academy, would at most have a dilapidated and simple home like the one in the Black Spire, with decorations at most small props like beds. Little did she expect that Kamikaze would actually transform his home into such a dreamy and cartoonish place, which would be incredibly appealing to a head of the Deep Sea Academy.
"How is it? Are you satisfied with it?" Shenfeng stood by the gate and teased Xiaobai.
"Uh...very...very amazing..." Xiaobai immediately became hesitant and timid.
Compared to Kamikaze's house, my place and that other place are practically a doghouse...
To be outdone by the Deep Sea Dean from the Wildlands in the area of interior design, which is something humans are most proud of, Xiaobai suddenly had a sense of self-doubt, wondering whether he was human or Kamikaze was human.
"Sister Kamikaze, you...you're so romantic..." Shiro muttered to Kamikaze.
“City life is very boring. After staying in the city for a long time, with nothing to do, you will find some nice things to bring back.” Kamikaze explained with a light laugh, walking deeper into the corridor as he spoke to Shiro. “For example, these crystal-clear toys hanging up there were found in the building next to the spire.”
"...Sister Kamikaze, are you referring to these lamps?"
"Lamp? Is that the name of these things?" Kamikaze turned around, chuckling as he glanced at Shiro. "I'm not sure either. When I found these things elsewhere, they were hanging in the same spot in my room. I thought they were pretty, so I brought them back—hehe, lamp... well, that's a nice name. I like it."
"……"noob.
Kamikaze led Shiro to the deepest part of the corridor. She raised her hand and pushed open the door to the room at the deepest part of the corridor, revealing the spacious interior.
When Shen Feng opened the main door and walked in, he saw the reception desk directly in front of him. Judging from the vague layout, Shen Feng could tell that this place had once been a small hotel. The room Shen Feng opened was similar to the suites Shen Feng remembered, except that Shen Feng had decorated it like a noble's bedroom. Directly opposite the door, Shen Feng immediately saw an extravagantly pink princess bed, with several layers of snow-white bedding piled thickly on top. Pale pink silk draped from the ceiling to the sides, and numerous teddy bears piled on the clean floor, right in front of Shen Feng.
"I scavenged all these things in the city when I had nothing better to do, and it took quite a bit of work." Kamikaze casually walked into the room and generously showed the layout to Shiro. "For example, these little toys by the bed. They're not very useful, but they feel soft and fluffy to the touch. Do you want to try them, little sister?"
"Uh... I... I don't need it." Xiaobai glanced at the doll a few more times, then spoke to Shenfeng.
"Ah...that's a pity." Kamikaze bent down and picked up a brown bear plush toy from the ground, holding it gently in her arms. "Good little sister, find a place to sit anywhere."
"...No need, I'll just stand." After thinking for a moment, Xiaobai said to Shenfeng, "Um...Sister Shenfeng, I'm here at your home now. Can you tell me the story of this city now?"
"Sigh... Good little sister is really impatient... It's rare for you to come to your older sister's house, and you don't even want to have a proper chat before getting down to business." Shenfeng sighed, carrying her teddy bear and walking towards Xiaobai, but still obediently stopped in front of Xiaobai. "Alright, although it's fine to keep my little sister hanging, since she's said so, I should keep my promise."
Kamikaze placed the teddy bear he was holding into Shiro's arms, then walked to the door and gently closed it.
Chapter 1985 Xiaobai's Chastity Crisis
"The door was closed to maintain secrecy," Kamikaze said with a smile as he walked back to Shiro.
"Oh..." Xiaobai nodded and handed the teddy bear in her arms back to Shenfeng.
"cute?"
"Um……"
"I quite like dolls, you know," Kamikaze said with a light laugh, picking up the brown bear doll's head with one hand and putting it back in her arms. Then, while teasing the doll's head with her fingers, she slowly said, "It's cute and obedient... It quietly lets people do whatever they want to it, and it never resists no matter what you do to it... Hehe, it's such a cute little thing that makes me feel guilty."
"...Um, Kamikaze-neechan, we've gone off-topic..." Shiro reminded him.
“That’s true.” Kamikaze casually tossed the brown bear plushie back to the ground and shrugged at Shiro. “It’s time to tell my little sister some stories about this city.”
"All ears."
"My dear sister came from the outer seas, right?" Kamikaze didn't start his own story right away, but asked Shiro instead.
"Hmm..." Xiaobai nodded.
Have you seen any other Deep Sea Deans outside?
"I've seen it."
"Is the Deep Sea Dean over there the same as the one here?"
“It’s different,” Xiaobai said honestly. “The deep-sea deans in the outer seas, no matter how good their relationship is, always keep their distance. It’s rare for several deep-sea deans to reside in one sea area for a long time. And…and…”
"Besides, there aren't any sea cities like that where they live, right?" Kamikaze said to Shiro with a smile.
“…Hmm.” Xiaobai nodded. “To be honest, I still don’t understand why the deep-sea deans in the outer seas all live on the surface, while you, Sister Shenfeng, have your own city, and it’s developed so… uh, dilapidated? prosperous?”
"Hehe...a city on the sea..." Kamikaze chuckled after hearing Shiro's words, "Little sister, are you curious why we built a city?"
"Hmm. Curious."
“…Since my sister wants to know, then I will tell her.” Kamikaze said, “Actually…whether it’s me, Zuikaku of the Deep Sea, or Savoy…or even Frederick the Great, none of us know how to build cities. The reason we live here now is simply because we’ve taken over someone else’s place.”
"……"noob.
"..." Kamikaze looked at the silent Shiro and gently tilted his head. "Your sister's expression... doesn't seem very surprised?"
"Uh...actually, I had a bit of a...premonition." Xiaobai stammered and nodded.
Xiao Bai didn't know much about this city, but from the furniture selection, the layout of the city, and even the function and style of the buildings, he could vaguely sense that this was not a city that served the Dean of the Deep Sea. Rather, the city seemed more suited to human use.
Kamikaze's answer at this moment confirmed Shiro's inner thoughts.
"Intelligent," Kamikaze praised Shiro.
"So... since it's a case of the sparrow taking over the cuckoo's nest, what did you do with the creatures that originally lived in this city, Kamikaze-neechan?" Shiro asked Kamikaze after a moment of silence, "...Did you kill them? Or drive them away?"
"Hmm..." Kamikaze closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and replied, "Nothing."
"What happened then?"
“Nothing much. We haven’t even seen a single creature that used to live in the city.” Kamikaze opened his eyes and slowly said to Shiro, “They… disappeared without a trace long before we discovered this city. There’s no trace of them left in the city. The only trace of their existence is this lonely city standing on the sea, which has been in ruins for who knows how many years.”
