After the fog dissipated, the support troops of the countermeasure room finally found Kensuke, Kyoko and others. At this time, they were riding on a kayak. Siji and the ghost warships had long disappeared.

The bitter sea breeze stirred up waves and slapped on the body made of steel, and then turned into bubbles and disappeared into the sea. On the vast sea surface, the sea water seemed to be cut and cut down six traces. They were traces left by the ship when it passed by. Experienced people can tell from these traces how big it was, but if someone really saw them, they would be surprised, because these traces were so close that they quickly merged into one, which was not the distance that normal ships would approach.

These six ships were warships led by the Yamato, and they were running on the sea at a speed of 20 knots.

On the deck of the Yamato ship, a picnic cloth was spread on it, and Siji and others sat in a row, while opposite them were the agents formed by these warships.

From an outsider's perspective, the two sides are like negotiating, and in fact the situation is not far from each other.

After finding and recovering the killing stones in Four Seasons, he unexpectedly discovered that these warships did not collapse because of this. In other words, the other party has spirituality without using the power of the killing stones. He can completely treat the other party as Fu Sangshen and the warship monster.

So Siji did not destroy them immediately, but after sending away the countermeasure room and his group (the raft was the emergency tool he usually prepared), he brought the warship to an unmanned sea.

After the four seasons released their goodwill, the other party did not attack again, but sat down with them like this. Because these warships absorbed the longing of humans above, they still had a general understanding of the world and self-positioning.

“…”

“…”

The silence lasted for a while and after the Four Seasons briefly told them about their situation, they have been like this.

Siji did not have any impatientness about this, but waited quietly.

Chu Ying lay on the picnic cloth and stuffed the various snacks in the middle into her mouth. She didn't care at all about the gaze that the silver-haired ship girl on the opposite side was looking at with inorganic substances. However, Miyuki and Jingruo on the other side were not so comfortable. Jingruo was because of the psychological shadow left by the attack before, while Miyuki felt distressed about this matter.

"How long will we have to wait? Do they really have self-awareness?"

Mixue couldn't help but ask Siji in a low voice.

"some."

This is very certain, otherwise he would not have communicated with the other party.

"Yeah?"

“There is a very simple way to judge.”

"What?"

Meixue became curious.

"The other party turned into a human form."

"What is this a judgment! Is it a look at the face in the end?"

Miyuki began to doubt the original intention of Siji, although she had only discovered that Siji had the potential of idol chefs and did not tend to be a grass ship.

"Image and psychology are not unrelated. External representations will confirm the inner psychology to a certain extent, which does not necessarily refer to appearance. But existences like ghosts will show psychological appearance more than creatures with material bodies, just as ghosts full of resentment will look gloomy and terrifying. If the ghosts after human death appear human form because of the residual memory, then objects, especially objects used by humans, will appear human form, which in a sense is the proof that they are close to humans."

"All right."

Although Meixue doesn't understand most of these words, it's true that it looks like a human being, so it depends on the face after all.

At the end of their conversation in Four Seasons, the ship girl who had been silent finally spoke.

"Is the war over?"

The flagship Yamato said on behalf of others, her tone was filled with a cold feeling, lacking a touch of humanity.

"Yes."

Because the other party was born not long after, and then continued to be affected by the killing stone, so in order to let the other party understand his own situation, the most important thing is this.

“Fighting is the mission.”

The ship girl with a single ponytail next to Yamato, the only cruiser, spoke.

These warships are all products made for war. They have been carrying such a fate since their birth. Even if they become what they are now, the missions imposed on them have not disappeared. This can be said to be their mission, instinct, and even meaning of existence. Just like the video recorder will still play images after the deification of the video recorder, the primary purpose of these warships is also combat, which has nothing to do with whether the killing stone exists.

Siji forced their instincts to be suppressed with conscious interference, but this is not a long-term solution. They must make them form a mature selves and then suppress this instinct.

"You have no enemies anymore."

So even if you are bullying people, you must make them realize that their original battle is over.

“…”

The confused atmosphere could be felt from the ship girl who was in silence again. It was too difficult for them to think about the meaning of life for the newly born.

"Try to face the world in different ways."

So Siji gave them a suggestion.

"How to do it in different ways?"

Yamato asked Siji.

At this time, Jingliu shivered and inexplicably felt a sense of sight for this scene.

“For example, how about building a sea hotel?”

"Hello!"

Hearing Siji's answer, Miyuki sprayed out all the tea he had just drunk into her mouth.

"It's not a hotel!"

Suddenly, the Yamato shouted loudly, his tone more emotional than before, and the other ship girls also cast inorganic gazes at her.

“…”

The Yamato immediately recovered, and it seemed that she was also confused about the situation just now.

"If I don't like this, I have other suggestions."

The four seasons continued the topic calmly.

"This familiar line is indeed correct."

"Six Seasons finally didn't even let go of inorganic substances!"

Ignoring the scattered thoughts coming from the side, Siji spoke again.

"Your war is over, but the battle in this world is not over, so I'll find a battle partner for you."

Yamato and other ship girls were silent for a moment, and Siji knew that they were in a communication that only they could hear.

"learn."

Everyone's opinions were reached, and Yamato responded on behalf of everyone, and then she shouted to Siji.

"Admiral."

"Nani?!"

The Yamato name for the four seasons makes Miyuki speak nonsense.

"Admiral?"

Siji never thought that the other party would call him that.

“The people who post missions to us to command us, so you are the admiral.”

Yamato replied naturally.

"That's true, then I'll accept it."
