"I really am!" York lay on the water, his face full of sorrow. "I was with you all until just now! I couldn't be fake! Why do you doubt me, Glorious Sister? Did I answer something wrong?"
"Phew—" Glory breathed a soft sigh of relief after firing that shot.
awesome.
This was the first time Glorious had experienced the thrill of revenge.
Glory felt that as he fired his shot at York and watched York roll awkwardly down the road, the frustration of having his dark history, his little secrets, and even his special fetishes exposed, along with the humiliation of having his buttocks exposed, dissipated considerably.
“You’re a fake.” Glory, carrying the cannon, looked coldly at York, who was lying on the sea.
"I'm telling the truth! Why would you doubt me, Glorious Sister? What did I say wrong?!" York looked at Glorious in disbelief on the sea, tears streaming down her face, shaking her head and sobbing.
To be honest, the way York was crying and pleading her case was indeed a bit heartbreaking to watch. If Koei Tecmo wasn't absolutely certain that York was the real person, seeing her lying on the sea crying after being attacked by her companions would likely shake even the most resolute person's resolve.
However, Glorious was hard-hearted. Faced with the fake York's tearful pleas, Glorious showed no sign of wavering. Her heart was now harder than diamond.
She seemed to have truly obtained irrefutable evidence to distinguish the real York from the fake one.
“Miss Patina, you’re right.” Glory’s eyes were fixed on York in the distance, but he smiled faintly and spoke to Little White standing to the side, “As expected, fake things are fake.”
Hearing Glorious's words, Zhen York, who was behind Xiaobai, couldn't help but happily clasp her hands together: "Glorious sister, you finally figured it out!"
York clenched his fist, looking at Glory with a happy and contented expression, his eyes sparkling and his cheeks flushed, as if he had found a kindred spirit.
Sure enough, a comrade is a comrade, and a sister you trust is a sister. Even if the enemy completely imitates your appearance and has your memories, your sister can still easily recognize you!
York felt incredibly happy at that moment.
Zejir is so lucky!
"I see." Xiaobai smiled and nodded at Guangrong. The moment Guangrong fired at the fake York, Xiaobai actually breathed a sigh of relief. This meant that she could finally express her own stance. "Guangrong, how did you figure it out? Did she answer wrong?"
“Her answer is correct.” Glory shook his head. “Absolutely correct.”
Does that line have a special meaning?
"That was York's first sentence after he stepped out of the construction device after being built by the Admiral. At that time, the Admiral and I had just graduated from the first chapter. Because of what happened before that, my five sisters lost their will to fight. When facing the Abyssal Fleet, which was obviously much stronger in the second chapter, they no longer had the courage to fight on the sea. Without our combat power, we couldn't even maintain our daily expenses in the second chapter."
"……Um."
"Then, during that critical period when the Admiral and I were on the verge of collapse, the Admiral, who was preparing to return to the naval base to recuperate for a while, unexpectedly created York during his last construction attempt before leaving. It was thanks to York's help that we were able to turn the tide. So what I just said has a very special meaning for my Admiral, for me, and for my sisters who had lost their will to fight. It means that we have welcomed new comrades and companions, we have welcomed hope, and a brand new beginning."
Xiao Bai seemed to be deep in thought.
She hadn't expected that Luo Yin would encounter such difficulties after leaving the first chapter.
If a ship girl develops a fear of the Abyssal Fleet, forms a psychological shadow, and loses her will to fight, she will indeed be unable to go on expeditions. Relying on Glorious alone, she cannot fight against so many opponents, and she will not be able to successfully go on expeditions in the second chapter, which already has increased combat difficulty.
When there is no fighting power and no resource base, York's appearance makes the significance of her line not just great, but almost like a ray of hope.
"Wasn't my answer correct? I am the real York!" York, who was on the other side of the sea, also heard Glorious's voice and protested loudly.
Glorious laughed: "Although I don't know what you are, whether you're a ship girl or not, what you did was almost perfect. You replaced York without anyone noticing, possessed her appearance, obtained her memories, and even her personality, habits, and way of dealing with people. Even your ship equipment and combat power are exactly the same as hers. However, as Miss Patina said, a fake is a fake. There is nothing in the world that is flawless. Your copy also has its omissions."
As he listened to the glorious words, Zhen York, who was standing next to Xiaobai, had brighter and brighter eyes.
As expected of my glorious older sister, even when the enemy gave her the correct answer to her question, my glorious older sister was still able to perfectly distinguish who was real and who was fake.
This is a real older sister!
Can the other sisters do it?
Can't do it!
This is my own sister!
This sister is amazing!
I'm York!
This life has been worthwhile!
York clasped his hands together tightly in front of his chest, overwhelmed with emotion. He pursed his lips, almost bursting into tears.
Glory took a deep breath, and shouted fiercely at York over there.
"The real York! How is that possible! So fast! To answer such a troublesome question!"
"She's clearly an idiot! She even wears her panties inside out all the time!"
"Got it! The real York! Can't even recite the multiplication tables! His emotional intelligence is comparable to an ape! He's clearly not young anymore! Yet he still likes to watch children's channels! He often hides in his room singing Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf! He sleeps in a very rough manner! He claims to eat very little! But every time he eats, he secretly takes an extra bowl of rice when no one is looking! What an idiot!"
"So what if we look the same! So what if we have the same personality! So what if we have the same memories!"
"The difference between you and York is intelligence!!!"
It's about intelligence!
Intelligence!
Merchants!
Ah!
……
Glory shouted at the top of his lungs towards York on the other side of the sea.
Especially when he shouted the last sentence, Glory put in even more effort, as if he was trying to squeeze out all his energy, and shouted it out in all directions.
On the calm sea, the shouts gradually turned into echoes, reverberating and echoing all around.
The ship girls behind Glorious fell silent.
After shouting, Glory bent over, pointed to his legs, and breathed softly.
Xiaobai shifted his gaze from Glory to Zhenyoke beside him.
Jane Yorke's hands, clasped together at her chest, trembled. Her mouth was agape, her face filled with disbelief, and her large eyes were wide open. As her face gradually flushed and turned red, her eyes and lips began to tremble as well.
What goes around comes around.
And never underestimate any woman's vengeful nature.
Even if she is your own sister.
Jane York stared tremblingly at Glory, who was bent over, exhausted from shouting, catching his breath. For some reason, at that moment, she suddenly understood with unparalleled clarity the wisdom summarized by those who came before her.
"I...I...I...I...I...I...I only wore it inside out once! We didn't eat much to begin with! It's just that the farmers would be sad if we threw away the leftover food!" York cried, her face flushed and tears welling in her eyes. "Besides, Glorious, don't you talk in your sleep at night too?! I heard it all! Every time you talk in your sleep it's about Lord Veneto! Glorious will try her best to catch up with you! I've only ever seen this kind of ridiculously dramatic statement from York in manga!!!"
York was almost in tears.
This time it is true.
What kind of older sister is that? Does an older sister talk like that?!
Even when you hit someone, you don't hit them in the face! Why do you always bring up their shortcomings?
What happened to the sisterhood we were promised?!
After catching her breath on the water, Glorious turned around and slowly looked at York.
York's face held a satisfied look of shame, as if he wanted to dig a hole in the water and crawl inside.
"Hehe~" Glory stuck out his tongue and winked at York.
“Sister York.” Little White tugged at York’s sleeve.
York looked at Little White with some panic.
"..." Xiaobai covered her mouth and thought for a while, "Um... the multiplication table, if you want to learn it, Sister York, I can teach you to memorize it, it's quite simple."
"..."
York was hit hard.
Outstanding effect.
York's HP has reached zero.
York negative emotions +999
Chapter 785, Round Two
York, who had been blasted away by Glorious's cannon and rolled several times on the water before stopping, remained lying blankly on the water's surface, staring at Glorious and York, after Glorious inflicted a series of mental blows on the real York with his words.
After a while.
"Ha," the fake York laughed. "Haha."
"Hahahaha... Hahahahahahahaha!!" Fake York burst into loud, unrestrained laughter, rising from the water as she laughed. Her body seemed infected by the laughter; she could barely straighten her back, and could only laugh while clutching her waist and covering her eyes. "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!"
"So that's how it is? So that's how it is?" Fake York laughed while inhaling deeply. "Hahahaha!! Are you guys kidding me? Using such a reason???"
"I initially thought her intuition was too sharp, and since she happened to be at the back of the group, that's why I chose her. Turns out, I made the wrong choice? Hahahaha!" Fake York laughed, tears welling in her eyes. "You ship girls! This is ridiculous!!!"
In a sense, her reaction was already equivalent to the culprit's confession after Conan caught the murderer.
However, it seems that the ship girls are not in the mood to listen to her speech.
Glory looked at the laughing fake York, calmly looked at York on the sea, and raised his hand.
At the same time, behind Glorious, the ship girls swiftly summoned their ship equipment, and one cannon after another was aimed directly at the laughing fake York.
"fire!"
With a triumphant wave of his hand, a series of booming sounds filled the air as cannonballs, glowing red-hot, struck the fake York in an instant.
The fake York neither dodged nor avoided.
Thump thump thump thump————
The impact was quite solid, and water splashed up in all directions.
Amidst the splashing water, Xiaobai heard a strange, muffled sound—the sound of a shell penetrating the heavily damaged protective barrier and striking flesh. Just as she frowned, wondering why this "thing" wasn't dodging Glorious's attack, a hole suddenly burst open within the high-flying white spray.
In the hollow of the water, the fake York was standing on a cannonball suspended in mid-air, his eyes staring straight at the real York.
swoosh————
The fake York kicked off with both feet, and the water beneath her feet instantly dissipated. She transformed into a black shadow and shot towards the real York like a bolt of lightning.
She was incredibly fast, and her reaction was beyond the expectations of all the ship girls. So when she rushed toward True York, neither York herself nor Glorious and the others had time to react.
Even Xiaobai, who was somewhat prepared, had already darted in front of the real York by the time she noticed the fake York's movements.
The fake York reached out and lunged at the real York. The real York's pupils contracted, and she tried to back away, but her reaction was too slow. The fake York was already in front of her and seemed about to grab her.
In Xiaobai's eyes, although the fake York had already reached the real York and was about to grab her, the fake York was staring at Xiaobai, and her face, which was almost identical to York's, carried a strange smile.
"Come on, round two, I won't lose." These words seemed to be written on the fake York's lips.
Xiao Bai's body simply didn't have time to stop the fake York that was arriving at his side at such a fast speed.
Xiao Bai's gaze was fixed on the fake York that had arrived beside him.
The admiral's network spread out from Xiao Bai's body at top speed. In just a thought, the mental network transformed into an invisible tidal wave, which rushed out from behind Xiao Bai and crashed into the fake York with a bang.
After all, nothing moves faster than thoughts.
In mid-air, the fake York's body trembled violently and paused slightly.
This brief pause bought the real York valuable time to escape the fake York's attack range, and also gave Xiaobai room to react.
Xiao Bai's spiritual power rapidly condensed in his palm, and in the blink of an eye, he used a flirting hand to quickly reach towards the fake York's body.
Xiao Bai's flirting hand touched the body of the fake York.
A completely different sensation from touching a ship girl, a cold feeling as if touching solid ice, instantly traveled back from Xiaobai's palm.
"boom"
An explosion suddenly erupted between Xiaobai and the fake York. In an instant, a sound several times more intense than the previous bombardment by Glory and the others rose high and engulfed Xiaobai and the fake York.
York, who was retreating, was thrown backward by the aftershock of the explosion, rolling around on the sea twice before coming to a stop.
Glory and the others were also blown back several steps by the aftershocks of the explosion before they could react.
York was closest to Little White, and she realized that Little White had saved her at the critical moment. Little White had blocked the fake from getting close to her again and had even used some mysterious skill to attack her, causing the explosion.
—Holy crap, that's pretty awesome.
Wait, no, now's not the time to be cocky. That fake looks like he's got some skills; he doesn't seem like he's completely defenseless. Miss Patina, I hope you don't get hurt.
"Miss Patina!" York, who was crouching on the sea, looked toward the explosion in front of him, still somewhat shaken, and shouted in a panic.
A figure was blasted out of the water; it was Little White, who had just helped York block the fake York.
