Chapter 778: Ch. 778 – Open Your Reactors—Let’s See
When Takumi appeared again, he had already arrived at Ship R.
Looking at the world in front of him, Takumi walked in without hesitation.
This world had been marked with the seal of Eris.
Some rules were already starting to integrate.
It was equivalent to being in Takumi's world.
So it didn't matter if Takumi entered.
After all, once the mark is placed, it's as if a seed has been planted.
As a Herrscher, Takumi didn't have to worry about the world being destroyed by his arrival.
Moreover, this world had already started to link.
Eris now possessed Takumi's spiritual power, so the world had sensed it.
Because of this, this world had already locked onto Takumi's world.
Even if Takumi hadn't come today, the world would probably have reached Takumi's side eventually.
Sensing the situation here, Takumi nodded thoughtfully.
It was really fast.
If someone else had found the world, Takumi wouldn't need to take action.
He could just wait until it reached them.
Takumi entered the world and immediately locked onto the planet where the ship girls were located.
He crossed over and arrived.
A big blue planet.
It was all ocean.
90% of the entire planet was covered by water.
Only 10% was land.
These lands were just scattered islands.
Takumi quickly scanned the world and connected to its spiritual network.
There was no formal internet in this world—just a spiritual network of unknown origin.
This was how the ship girls communicated.
And there were distance limitations.
Looking at this strange network, Takumi was speechless.
So weak!
The technology was oddly advanced, yet the internet was primitive.
After connecting to the network and exploring for a while, Takumi located the Lexington garrison.
And with his powerful mental energy spreading through the network, he naturally attracted the attention of the ship girls.
[?]
[What a powerful spirit!]
[Who is this?]
[Not a ship girl???]
[The legendary commander?]
[(ΩДΩ)]
Because of Takumi, the ship girls suddenly realized everyone could communicate.
Takumi had become their server.
The sudden flood of information left him speechless.
But he didn't cut the signal.
Instead, he greeted them.
After all, they would soon head to his world.
[Hello everyone!]
[I am Takumi, from another world.]
As Takumi's voice fell, the ship girls were dumbfounded.
Another world?
Wasn't this a joke?
[Is that a lie?]
[Other worlds?]
[Alien? ヽ(*Д)o゜]
[Idiot, not aliens—people from another world!!]
[Not a commander?]
[Bad review!]
When Takumi revealed his identity, the message channel exploded.
Messages flooded in.
All the ship girls in service were excited.
Seeing the rapid messages, Takumi could only sigh.
Let them talk on their own.
He couldn't stop them.
Immediately, he headed to the garrison where Lexington was stationed.
The ship girls Takumi wanted to see were all there.
Lexington and Big Mackerel.
The one in charge was Secretary Li.
Ship girls in this world were strange—there were no camps.
If divided, there were only two:
Ship Girls and Deep Sea.
The Lexington garrison was the largest in the world.
In a flash, Takumi appeared in the sky above the base.
The moment he appeared, the ship girls still chatting online panicked.
The whole naval base went into emergency mode.
Instantly, all ship girls began deploying.
As soon as Takumi landed, a blonde loli popped up from the sea and aimed a torpedo at him.
Others on the beach drew their small cannons.
However, when they saw he was a man, everyone froze.
"Eh?"
"Commander?"
Big Mackerel, floating in the water, looked at Takumi in confusion.
She had already felt the spiritual link between them.
Wasn't this the one who had connected all the ship girls?
"Stupid Big Mackerel!"
"That's not the commander—it's an alien!!"
"Doesn't look like an enemy?"
"Well… what do we do?"
Seeing it wasn't a Deep Sea as expected, the little girls hesitated.
Luckily, other ship girls arrived soon after.
The leaders were battleship and aircraft carrier types.
Among the group, Takumi spotted his gentle wife and sister-in-law.
Familiar faces lit up his eyes.
Long time no see!
Takumi thought silently.
"Is this gentleman a friend from another world?"
The capable-looking girl stepped forward.
She was Secretary Li—the 6-star battleship of U Country, based on the Iowa-class.
She was in charge of the garrison.
"Hello~!"
"Nice to meet you. I'm Takumi."
He greeted her with a smile.
Hearing his name, many ship girls memorized it.
Takumi, huh?
Alright!
"Okay, Mr. Takumi."
"I'm Missouri."
"Please come with me."
"Let's talk inside."
After learning his name, Missouri invited him into the mansion.
"Elbow!"
"You're all old acquaintances!"
"By the way, interested in upgrades?"
"Naval battles are outdated."
"Dimensional warships are the trend."
"The kind that can cross dimensions."
"If you're willing, I can help remodel."
"But you have to reveal your true identity."
"Then I'll help modify your power core and engine."
Hearing this, the ship girls slowly raised a question.
Was this serious?
Power core and engine?
Their faces blushed.
Did he know what he was saying?
But they figured Takumi, being from another world, probably didn't understand.
So they didn't overthink it.
Missouri led Takumi to the mansion's living room.
She planned to talk with him.
After all, from the start she had said Takumi came from another world.
There were things in this world too.
She needed to clarify them. She had a bad feeling something was coming.
She had to be ready.
Nothing could be allowed to take them by surprise.
Not on Missouri's watch.
If information could be collected early, then she would do it.
