"What's the design platform for the next main ship?"

"Yes, that's the chief design engineer going to the naval port ..."

"I'll see you again .... I need to do something .... No, I understand my feelings, but I understand ..."

As soon as the shipbuilding officials take their eyes off, they take a vacation and go to the naval port town. …… This time, I met Funatama and had a conversation, muttering…

No, if you know! I like ships, and I went to the navy, and also to shipyards. If the soul dwells in the ship you were involved in shipbuilding and is told that it is a cute girl, you will fly away.

: Actually, I have already been on vacation twice.

Unfortunately, it didn't show up ...

Instead, the deceased chief of technology, who had died, had screwed into the fleet headquarters a request to extend the life of an aging ship designed when he was young. Or let it sink as a target ship for shelling exercises! !

"... I'm going to go to the naval port next week, so I'll sign this vacation notice ..."

"It is useless!"

You can't do that!

"But we have the right to take a vacation ..."

"Next week, I'm done with the vacation. I guess we can't both take a long vacation at the same time ..."

"e……"

The winner wins first, don't feel bad ...

"Mitsuha, the navy officials seem to be strange recently."

"What, what?"

It seems that Rephilia has somehow sourced military-related information.

"Shipbuilding companies, lumber traders, craftsmen, and others seem to be in a hurry or in a hurry.

And for some reason, the navy, especially shipbuilding-related and sailors, were nervous and calm, and those on the top took full-time vacations. And it doesn't look like you're in trouble, but on the contrary, it looks like you're in a good mood.

Anyway, the temperature difference between the military and civilian companies is severe for ships. Ordinarily, if a problem occurs, both should be in the same state ... "

Pussy, as planned ...

However, if I could not meet the soul at all as it was, I thought that only Eras was special, saying, `` I will stop the abandonment of the old ship and extend the life, so I will leave the plan of a new ship blank '' The momentum may gradually decline ...

……That's it!

"... So, we'll organize" Yamano Family Ship Soul Corps "here!"

In front of me are Noel (11 years old), Ninette (13 years old), Lear (5 years old), "Yamano Family Maid Girl Corps", Paulet, Katy, Lorena and others "Yamano Family" Maid Adult Corps], and Miriam-san added to the soul corps.

"What, that ..."

Through Colette-chan, who seems stupid, and teach everyone the role.

Pia, Colette is working with me on the new continent, so she was excluded from the squadron.

Eras was night and far away, so it was okay because the face was not clearly discernable, but I couldn't participate in this operation. You shouldn't take useless dangers, just in case.

Nobles in our country explain that 'migratory' reduces vitality (but they do not say that their life will be shortened), but for Count Bozes and his servants, it is a bit exaggerated. It is said that he is saying. Otherwise, I can't move freely, so I'm unavoidable. Of course, I'm humbled.

Maybe no one betrays the lord, their employer, the princess of thunder, and the hero of the salvation. Not only those who worship the goddess, but also those who are regrettable about the lives and positions of themselves and their families.

Therefore, if you say “It is a secret operation to protect the country” and “It is a goddess from the goddess”, they will do their best. No, it's not spontaneous, threatened by divine punishment, but of course!

… And there is a special bonus.

Puyo, then, let's go! !

"What is that?"

"A bird?"

"No, no seabirds look so big on the mast ..."

Several sailors cleaning with a deck brush on the deck of the 64th battleship, the Sulvalley, the most advanced warship of the Vannels Navy, stopped working and looked up at objects on the mast while talking. Was.

Then the object stood up on the mast.

At any rate, the silhouette was only visible to girls aged 13-14.

And ...

"Oni-chan-, there, itchy, rub it firmly to remove dirt!"

"..."

““ ………… ””

"" "" "" ............... "" "" "

Ooooooooo! Salvary Chaa ~~ ntsu !!

The sailors jumped out of the ship one after another. Of course, captains and officers protrude from the stern tower.

"Oh, oh, oh oh oh!"

"" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" ")" "

The enthusiasm of the crew did not subside until the girl disappeared while waving her hand, or even after disappearing.

* *

"Tour!"

The officer in charge will regularly sail with the non-commissioned officer on the ship to check for any abnormalities in the ship and maintain crew order. And I check all the rooms with people and the rooms without people.

Opened the door of the sailor's bedroom (Obeya), who should have no one because he is currently working again ...

"Ah"

"" ... ""

A girl about 10 years old sitting on a wooden box and biting hard-baked bread ...

The hard-baked bread with a bite mark left where the girl who disappeared with the wooden box (with Mitsuha) was left.

"" ... ""

"" ......... "

* *

"Oh oh, struggling!"

"e?"

A voice that should not be heard in such a place.

The voice of a woman heard on the deck of the decrepit ship was reflected in the eyes of a non-commissioned officer who looked back at me ...

A gentle woman about 27 to 28 years old and a little girl about 5 to 6 years old riding on her shoulder. And on something like a bib worn by the little girl, it was written:

"Installed short boat (cutter)"

“…………”

* *

"Mitsuha, there seems to be strange rumors flowing in the Navy again. No matter what," I saw the soul "," I won't get off this ship forever ", or something abnormal in my mind. A crew who seems strange or behaving strangely ... "

"Fufufu, as planned ... You should be convinced that ships other than Eras also have souls, so you can't lightly destroy an old ship. They are determined to oppose it, and hopefully a human rights, or maybe a soul rights organization could be formed and stirred up ... "

"Ha, huh ..."

Although he didn't understand well, he knew that he seemed to be proceeding according to Mitsuha's wishes, and was a vaguely smiling Rephilia.

* *

"Mitsuha, standing on the mast, I was afraid!"

"Oh, I'm sorry. It was safe because I was on standby so I could transfer immediately if it fell, but that's scary.

Okay, I'll add a special danger allowance to the ninet, so be patient.

"Oh, done!"

(I gave Rachel a special allowance for Leah-chan, who was a short boat. The maids would all be extraordinary income .... It would be a pleasure to help, so it's a cheap investment ……)

I thought so, and Mitsuha smiled with a smile.
