“Yes…she’s so scary…” Veneto from Nia’s family hugged her chest and trembled.
“…Is it…terrible?” Littorio looked up at Veneto of the Little White House with a strange expression.
In Littorio's eyes, although Veneto of Admiral Lu Lin's family seemed to be in a bad mood and her gaze was fixed on Veneto's spine, she looked quite cute. Rather than a hateful enemy, she looked more like a delicate rag doll sulking.
Littorio felt an urge to go up and give it a good rub.
This level of staring shouldn't be considered scary at all, right?
"Veneto, is there some misunderstanding between you two?" Littorio asked, looking at his Veneto's frightened expression.
"Uh... I just touched her head."
"This shouldn't be a big problem, right?"
“I…I also said she was a destroyer…” Veneto whispered, “and then she turned into this…”
"..." Littorio.
Littorio looked at Veneto helplessly, sighed deeply, and tilted her head to shrug at her own Rome and empire.
"You two, did you hear me?"
"We heard that." The Nia family's empire and Rome both nodded.
"Our eldest sister brought this upon herself; no one can save her now," Littorio said to the Empire and Rome. "You two must not let Veneto's sacrifice go to waste. You must learn from her experience and never assume a little girl is a destroyer just because she looks like one—"
"Understood." The Nia family's empire and Rome both nodded.
“What do you mean by sacrifice? I’m not dead yet!” Veneto quickly pulled up Littorio’s sleeve.
“Even I would have a hard time helping you in this situation.” Littorio took a deep breath, shrugged helplessly, and spread his hands, saying, “Why don’t you go to Admiral Lu Lin and ask if you can warm her bed for a few days? Maybe if you please Admiral Lu Lin, she will be willing to help you resolve this matter.”
"What kind of time is this to be making jokes like this?!" Veneto's face was flushed, and his head was steaming like a boiling teapot.
“There’s nothing we can do about it…” Littorio smiled as she watched Veneto’s reaction. Just as she was about to speak, her gaze fell on something behind Veneto. She was startled and her smile vanished instantly.
"Littorio?" Veneto asked, bewildered. "W-what happened?"
"Veneto, behind you..."
"Behind me... Huh?!!"
Following Littorio's gaze, Nia's Veneto turned around and saw that the little white Veneto who had been sitting obediently in the chair was now standing behind her. Her beautiful, ruby-like eyes were staring straight at Veneto, and her pupils seemed to reflect Nia's Veneto's panicked face.
"Vivianto—is something wrong??" Vivianto from Nia's family was so frightened that she took several steps back until her back was pressed against Littorio's chest before she stopped.
Little White's Veneto didn't speak, but stared thoughtfully at Nia's Veneto, her gaze sweeping over the three younger sister ship girls beside her.
After a while, Veneto from Xiaobai's family finally turned his gaze back to Veneto from Nia's family.
"Does your temporary garrison have a training ground?" Veneto from the Little White family asked.
"A training ground?" Veneto from Nia's family was taken aback. "Uh... there is a training ground, though..."
"Okay, that's good." Veneto from Xiaobai's family nodded, rubbing her wrists and pressing her neck. "Looks like we don't need to make a special trip to 8-1 or 8-2."
"Huh? Wh...what do you mean?"
"Since you're also Veneto, then you must be the strongest ship girl in Admiral Nia's household right now," Veneto from Xiaobai's household asked Veneto from Nia's household.
“Huh? This…” Veneto from Nia’s family was taken aback.
“Yes, it’s Veneto from Admiral Lu Lin’s side.” Before Veneto from Nia’s family could reply, Littorio said with a smile, “My commander likes to take Veneto with him when he goes on expeditions. Usually, when he takes her, she is always the fleet flagship. From this point of view, she should be the strongest ship girl in our naval base.”
"Hmm, that's not bad." Veneto from Little White's family looked at his other self and finally nodded. "That's perfect, come out with me."
“Go out? Where to?” Veneto from Nia’s family was stunned.
"Go to your training ground."
"Huh? The training ground? What are we going to the training ground for?"
"What else can ship girls do at the training grounds?" Veneto lowered her hands, frowned at her other self, and said, "They fight, of course."
"Fight...with whom?"
"...What do you think?"
“…” Veneto from Nia’s family blinked in confusion. After a few seconds, she gasped, “You…you…are you going to…”
"Go practice with me." Veneto nodded and said calmly to Veneto of Nia's family.
Veneto's voice was very indifferent, as if he were talking about something trivial.
But to the ship girls of Nia's family, they could inexplicably hear an emotion that did not allow for refusal.
Veneto of Nia's family opened and closed her mouth repeatedly.
Finally, looking at Veneto standing calmly in front of her, she gave up the idea of struggling and lowered her head.
"...Now?"
"If you want to prepare, it's not impossible."
"...No need, I don't need to prepare anything..."
"Well, lead the way."
"it is good……"
"Don't be so nervous. After all, you're not Rome, so I'll use practice ammunition. Of course, you can use whatever ammunition you want." Veneto from Little White's family patted his other self's lower back, his eyes shining brightly. "Don't disappoint me, my other self."
"..." Feeling the powerful slaps from the small hand behind him, Veneto was so miserable he felt like vomiting.
Chapter 2745 The weather in the city today is exceptionally good, with clear skies and bright sunshine.
Since the naval base was on holiday, the ship girls of the Nia Naval Base, who had nothing to do, came to the playground for a stroll, creating a very relaxing and pleasant atmosphere.
boom……
boom……
boom……
However, at that moment, faint sounds of artillery fire began to emanate from the direction of the training ground.
The temporary naval base's training grounds had some basic soundproofing measures in place, so generally, unless the battle was particularly intense, the sound wouldn't travel too far. However, the roar of artillery fire coming from the direction of the training grounds, even after passing through layers of soundproofing, still possessed an undeniable power and penetrating force.
And... whether it was just their imagination or not, the ship girls at Nia's Naval Base listened silently to the cannon fire, and over time, they felt that there were some inexplicable personal emotions mixed in with the intense sound of the cannon fire.
"what?"
"Is someone conducting a drill at the training ground?"
"What happened?"
"Should we go check out the training ground?"
The ship girls at Nia Naval Base looked at each other, their eyes quickly turning curious. Then, they all gathered their belongings and spontaneously headed towards the training ground to watch.
As the ship girls drew closer to the exercise field, the air seemed to resonate with the sounds of artillery fire.
Soon the ship girls arrived at the edge of the training ground and finally saw the current situation inside.
"Huh?? Wait, isn't that Veneto?!" The ship girls recognized one of the ship girls on the training field and quickly pointed at Veneto, exclaiming in surprise.
"It really is!"
"What's Veneto doing here? Is she instructing other ship girls in battle?"
"Uh... wait a minute, something's not right. Look, isn't Veneto being beaten up?"
"Huh?? Is that so?!"
The ship girls at Nia Naval Base immediately looked towards the training ground.
In the eyes of the ship girls, there were only two ship girls fighting on the training ground at this moment—well—perhaps using the word "fight" to describe the current situation on the training ground is still a little inaccurate. The current situation on the training ground is more like a one-sided beating.
Under the watchful eyes of the ship girls at Nia Naval Base, Veneto was struggling to dodge enemy shelling. Shells rained down from the sky as if they had eyes, hitting Veneto's most vulnerable spots with pinpoint accuracy. With each explosion, bursts of colorful watercolor paint splattered like mist.
Layer upon layer of watercolor paint splattered onto Veneto's body. Whether by coincidence or not, the paint seemed to land on Veneto's chest, buttocks, thighs, and other odd spots. As the battle continued, these spots on Veneto's body were stained with watercolor paint again and again.
The ship girls at Nia Naval Base stared blankly at the training ground.
"Wow... the watercolor paint must be from a training firework, right? The areas stained with watercolor paint are like they've been hit by live ammunition. Veneto is being shrouded in a one-sided veil..."
"Veneto is one of the strongest ship girls in our naval base, so who exactly is capable of overwhelming her?"
Filled with questions and shock, the ship girls of Nia Naval Base all looked toward another ship girl on the training field.
The ship girls at Nia's Naval Base were stunned once again upon seeing another ship girl on the training field.
"Holy crap! It's my favorite white-haired destroyer!" A black-haired ship girl jumped up excitedly, as if to run towards the training ground. "Hello, destroyer! I'm Royal Ark. Do you want my phone number? I live at..."
"Someone, quickly pull the Ark down—" Several ship girls hurriedly restrained the black-haired ship girl and carried the berserk ship girl down.
Only after the ship girl named Royal Ark was sent away from the training ground did the ship girls of Nia Naval Base breathe a sigh of relief and continue to look at the ship girl fighting against Veneto.
This mysterious ship girl who had been dominating her own Veneto... turned out to be a young girl with physical features remarkably similar to a destroyer, and with exceptionally beautiful short white hair and striking red eyes.
"This shouldn't be a destroyer, right..."
"That's right, our destroyers all seem to be a bit taller than her, and their chests are also..."
"Yes, although she looks like a destroyer, the ship equipment behind her is that of a proper battleship."
The ship girls at Nia's Naval Base discussed amongst themselves, their gazes turning strangely to the white-haired ship girl. This ship girl, though petite, operated her ship's rigging with remarkable skill and ease. The massive, dark black battleship rigging in her hands rotated like precisely engaged gears, each movement swift and efficient. The rotation and aiming of the turrets, the positioning and movement of the rigging, firing, dodging, pursuing, maneuvering… every single action in the entire combat sequence was superfluous, a truly textbook example of perfect execution!
This is a fighting style that can only be achieved by honing the basic skills of a battleship to the extreme, making every cell in the body memorize the actions, and adding an unimaginable number of actual combat experiences.
The perfect combat flow naturally brings... a suffocating sense of oppression.
Veneto is considered one of the strongest ship girls in Nia's naval base. Few ship girls can match her strength on a daily basis. When they encounter unavoidable training exercises, Nia often sends Veneto out to wipe out the enemy, and Veneto has never disappointed Nia.
Most of the ship girls in Nia Naval Base implicitly acknowledge Veneto's status within the base.
However, this ace ship girl was completely overwhelmed by this unknown white-haired ship girl, and she was in such a sorry state that she could not even struggle, let alone engage in an equal exchange of artillery fire.
"So...so strong!"
The ship girls in Nia's naval base shuddered, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration as they looked at the white-haired ship girl's figure.
"This is pure fundamental skill dominance!"
"So this is how battleships can be fought..."
"Huh? But wait a minute, where did this white-haired ship girl come from?"
"Since she's performing so well, she's most likely one of Admiral Lu Lin's ship girls..."
"Indeed... if just any random ship girl outside had such terrifying strength, I would despair of this world..."
The ship girls at Nia Naval Base watched the battle unfold in the training field while whispering amongst themselves.
Just then, several ship girls from Nia's Naval Base stared at the white-haired figure on the sea with surprised expressions.
"Huh..." Atago covered her mouth and turned to look beside her. "Takao, am I seeing things? Can you check for me too? Is that the person?"
“That’s right, it’s her.” Gao Xiong nodded seriously. She looked at Atago, a hint of excitement in her eyes. “It’s Veneto from Admiral Lu Lin’s side.”
“It’s been a long time, hasn’t it?” Helena laughed, clasping her hands together over her chest. “I didn’t expect to see you again in Chapter 8… It seems that Admiral Lu Lin used that special power to bring Veneto from the naval base thousands of miles away.”
"But why are those two doing a drill?" Wichita asked, one hand on her hip, looking puzzled.
"Well... I don't know." Helena lowered her hands and shook her head. "It's probably just a normal sparring match..."
"Poor Veneto from our family, he actually ended up in the hands of Admiral Lu Lin's Veneto..." Atago sighed regretfully, touching her cheek. "Although he's cute, his training methods are not for the faint of heart..."
Atago recalled the days when she was first created by Nia in the first chapter.
At that time, although Veneto was mainly training Roma, he also took some time to give Atago and others a "simple" lesson.
As one of the world's top-tier ship girls, receiving personal guidance from Veneto would be a lifelong benefit for any artillery-type ship girl. However, even today, whenever Atago recalls the days when she was trained by Veneto, her body always feels a deep sense of fear and retreat before she does.
Hearing Atago's mutterings, the others around her who knew Veneto seemed to have their deep-seated memories awakened. They all shrank back and hugged their arms.
……
"Aaaaaah, I can't take it anymore! I really can't take it anymore! Why are you hitting my chest and butt?!" At the same time, on the training field, Nia's Veneto was blasted back two steps by a watercolor-like shell. Feeling the swaying and impact in her chest, she finally snapped. Gritting her teeth, she grabbed her ship rigging, closed her eyes, and began swinging it in the direction of Little White's Veneto, yelling, "Whatever happens next, I don't care anymore! I absolutely don't care anymore—explode—everyone—!"
As Veneto shouted, a blinding white light flashed from her ship's cannons.
The next second, a series of cannon shots rang out in a way that defied common sense, and countless shells surged into the sky, turning into a brilliant galaxy before falling to the ground.
Veneto of the Nia family finally couldn't hold back any longer and activated her skill!
In an instant, the sky was filled with countless orange-red cannons.
