The Kamikaze-class destroyers belong to the Sakura Empire First Destroyer Squadron.
As early ships in the history of the Sakura Empire's original world, their performance was not as good as later ships.
Although they endured from the early stages of the Great War in the original world until its end, appearing in various famous scenes, their actual combat record was relatively average.
Without historical buffs, a total of 5 Kamikaze-class ships were implemented; except for the smallest, the eighth ship, which was purple, the other four ships were uniformly blue.
The most frequent tasks they performed in the port were oilfield reconnaissance, merchant ship escort, and sea area patrol.
Even though their eldest sister Kamikaze and fourth sister Matsukaze were refitted into purple ships, the word "combat" seemed inherently unrelated to them; even if they were lucky enough to go to battle, they were merely background fodder.
Their output was not even one-fifth of that of later generations like Yuudachi and others.
However...
Even for them,
the Commander mercifully cast his gaze.
Not only did he bestow talismans symbolizing the Ring of Oath, but he also spent a wonderful night with them that evening.
...
Several days ago.
Kamikaze and her four sisters stood in the hall, becoming a small part of the Shipgirls awaiting favor.
Due to various reasons, everyone present had their rationality snapped, escalating into a dramatic party time.
Unbeknownst to them, it was their turn.
Kamikaze, lying in Jack's arms, said with a hint of inferiority, "I'm sorry, Commander, most of us sisters are petite, so we might not be able to satisfy you fully."
Jack patted Kamikaze's back indifferently.
"Kamikaze-chan, forgive me for not having looked at you carefully before. After coming to this world and connecting to the mental network, I realized your sincere emotions. At this moment, body size is no longer a constraint. Let go of your mind, and we will merge into one on a soul level."
As he spoke, Jack hugged Kamikaze deeply into his arms.
An invisible spiritual essence permeated through.
Upon first contact, the fusion was achieved without any hindrance.
"Ah! Commander, Kamikaze feels it! Kamikaze feels Commander's presence!"
At that moment, both her body and soul ascended to heaven; the dry well was filled, and she felt an unprecedented sense of fulfillment.
...
"Ready! Fire!"
Bang, bang! Bang, bang, bang!
The five destroyers fired simultaneously. Although not as shocking as the battleship big sisters, the final result was that every single shot hit its target.
Then came torpedoes, full salvoes, maneuverability tests, and so on.
A series of drills comprehensively demonstrated the strength of his Shipgirls to Jack, their Commander.
"Static display concluded, entering dynamic display!"
Nagato acted as the announcer.
Everyone curiously looked at the targets for the so-called "dynamic" display.
Suddenly, several monstrous-looking large ships emerged from the seabed. What else could they be but the Sirens, who had fought against the Shipgirls for years?!
"Those are… Sirens! How can this be? Has the port been attacked?"
"No! The Sirens aren't moving; it seems like they're being controlled by someone."
"How amazing! Could Akashi really have invented ship gear that can control Sirens?"
Everyone was somewhat surprised by the sudden appearance of mass-produced Sirens.
When someone suggested Akashi should take the blame, she gained everyone's approval, and they all looked at Akashi on the stage with admiring eyes.
But what they were thinking was: If we had Akashi-chan's equipment for leveling up, wouldn't we quickly awaken our cognition, get close to the Commander, and reach the pinnacle of our Shipgirl lives?
On the high platform, Kashino noticed this scene and looked at Akashi beside her with some envy.
"Akashi-chan is so amazing; everyone is looking at you."
"Nyao?"
Akashi turned her gaze and found dozens of crimson eyes indeed staring at her, their gazes as if they wanted to "eat" her.
"Nyao! You, you… what do you want to do, nyao! Commander is here; returns, returns are not allowed, nyao!"
"Returns?"
Kashino tilted her head in confusion.
Then Shimakaze helped her explain.
Only then did she realize how many people Akashi, that black-hearted boss, had swindled out of resources and oil.
"Akashi-chan, lying is wrong!"
"Akashi didn't lie, they all did it voluntarily, nyao!"
"I say, is it possible that they weren't saying that your product quality had issues, Akashi?"
Shimakaze watched the bewildering scene of the confused girl lecturing and the black-hearted boss arguing with a weary heart, deeply Feelings, there were truly too many problematic children at home.
...
Meanwhile, Jack's gaze, spanning a great distance, spotted Observer on a bare reef.
The other party sensed Jack's "gaze" and bared her teeth at the A-1 training ground.
Clearly, these mass-produced Sirens, who were cooperating with the Shipgirls in the performance, were the handiwork of Observer, this advanced humanoid Siren.
"These mass-produced Sirens are a bit too high-level, aren't they? Where did you find them?"
"I'm half-detached from the organization now; these Sirens were just some I randomly abducted from your world."
"Oh, I see. No wonder I didn't see any serial numbers. When the battle starts, remember not to hurt our fellow sisters; their levels… well, they're a bit low."
"Got it. You go watch your show; it's about to begin!"
Observer impatiently waved her hand.
Then, Jack's voice indeed did not sound in her mind.
Observer was slightly disappointed by this.
"Hmph, he said he wouldn't bother with me and he really didn't, you stinky man~"
[One more thing!]
"Ah!"
Observer jumped in surprise, pointing at the void and pouting, "You idiot Commander! Why didn't you just say everything at once?"
[Hmm, next time for sure.]
Jack's voice paused, then he spoke.
[Thank you, Observer. If you want anything later, just ask. Consider it the commission fee from your Commander.]
"Hmph hmph! If Observer wants the moon from the sky, will you give it to her?"
[No problem, but it can't be from this world. I'll go to 'my world' and pick one for you.]
"Uh... I forgot you can actually pick the moon (hardcore). Never mind, just accompany Observer on vacation in that world for two days then."
[Alright! Thank you for your full support, Observer. Commander loves you, Da☆ze!]
"Eww~ How disgusting, Commander! How can you send images in the Mind Network!"
Observer admitted that Jack had grossed her out.
But this feeling, actually, wasn't bad at all~
...
"Big sister, those Sirens (level 90±) are a bit different from what we've seen before. They seem... a bit strong."
Fifth Ship Harekaze said with some concern.
"Yes, they are much stronger than those I've seen before (level 60±), but..."
Kamikaze looked at her other sisters.
Fourth Ship Matsukaze, Sixth Ship Oite, and Eighth Ship Asanagi all took a step forward simultaneously, and the four of them spoke at the same time.
"With Commander leading us, we are invincible!" × 4
