The deep-sea amphibious ships roared and then retreated like a tide.
To Montana's somewhat surprised gaze, the deep-sea ships made way for Little White and Montana, creating an exceptionally long path that led directly to the other side of the sea.
"Huh? This is..."
Montana was curious when she saw the mist over the sea across the way. Then she paused, a smile appearing on her face.
"Oh I got it."
As Xiaobai and Montana watched, at the end of the mist, a colossal mechanical whale, as tall as a mountain peak, parted the mist and cast a shadow.
With the appearance of the mechanical whale, the deep-sea atmosphere in the air seemed to come alive, and the surrounding deep-sea ships immediately trembled, as if worshipping some supreme being, and immediately prostrated themselves.
The mechanical whale appeared proudly with its head held high, its massive tail propelling waves.
However, the mechanical whale's eyes were fixed on the other side of the sea, where Little White was sitting in the float.
"Ow?"
"Ow!"
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!!!!"
The mechanical whale shuddered, and its enormous tail immediately stood up, flapping and shaking in mid-air.
The mechanical whale thrashed its massive body, churning the surrounding water as it charged toward Montana, howling and screaming.
When Montana saw the mechanical whale approaching, she sensed an exceptionally strong deep-sea aura emanating from it, a quality seemingly vastly different from any other deep-sea creature she had encountered along the way. Instinctively, golden flames surged around Montana, and a massive main cannon emerged from behind her.
"Montana, no."
Little White immediately called out to Montana.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Montana turned around.
"This is Yamato's pet, don't kill it," Shiro said.
"Miss Yamato?" Montana exclaimed in surprise. She turned to look at the mechanical whale that was tumbling and crawling toward her, wagging its tail. "This one?"
"It's a long story..." Xiaobai said with a wry smile from behind.
As they were talking, the enormous mountain peak was already approaching.
As expected, the mechanical whale did not attack Little White and Montana. When it arrived in front of Little White and Montana, the mechanical whale submerged its huge body in the water like a lapdog, leaving only its head and a pair of eyes outside, and approached the float where Little White was.
"Gulu gulu gulu..."
"Awooo gurgle—"
The mechanical whale spouted water and couldn't wait to let out a whimpering sound towards Little White.
Xiao Bai sat on the float, reached out and touched the mechanical whale's eyelids on the water's surface.
The mechanical whale immediately spewed out a fountain in excitement.
Montana walked to the edge of the float and looked at the mechanical whale.
“This thing is huge! Where do you usually keep it?” Montana asked curiously. “I’ve never seen Yamato take it out.”
"Montana, you haven't been at the naval base for long, it's normal that you don't recognize it." Xiaobai smiled and withdrew her hand, saying to Montana, "This is Little Purple Whale, one of the components of Yamato's ship equipment. It's usually installed inside Yamato's body like a regular ship equipment... or something like that?"
"Is it male or female?"
"Ship-based lifeforms don't have genders..."
Xiao Bai and Montana were talking.
Just then, the mechanical whale began to gurgle and shake its enormous head.
The next moment, the mechanical whale sank into the water.
Something resembling an advertising billboard appeared.
There were no words on the billboard, only a symbol.
""
Xiaobai and Montana looked at the billboard in front of them.
“Admiral, it seems to be trying to express that it is a girl,” Montana said to Little White.
"Uh... I see..." Xiaobai stroked his chin. "So these two whales have genders..."
"Two?" Montana asked again.
"Yes, besides this purple one, there's also a white one."
"Is the white one also a girl?"
"I don't know about that..."
At this point, Xiaobai and Montana looked thoughtfully at the billboard.
The billboard gurgled back into the water, then popped back up.
""
Sure enough, it's that gender symbol again.
"It seems that both of these shipboard servitors are girls," Montana nodded.
“Okay, I admit this is the first time I’ve heard about this…” Xiaobai scratched his head.
"So, did Miss Yamato find us and specially send this whale to pick us up?" Montana asked again.
"Maybe?" Xiaobai said, looking around.
There was no trace of Deep Sea Yamato or Deep Sea Shinano on the purple whale.
So... the purple whale must have been sent out on patrol.
Due to the special relationship between Shiro and the marriage ship (referring to the fact that Shiro's spiritual power is filling the body), there is always a unique connection between them. As the product of the deep-sea Yamato's ship equipment coming to life, the purple whale should also be able to sense Shiro's presence within a certain distance.
It's likely that the purple whale sensed Little White's presence, which is why it came here.
Having thought this through, Xiaobai had reached a conclusion. She then looked around at the deep-sea ships.
In terms of character, the purple whale is practically a dean of the deep sea.
The deep-sea vessels surrounding the sea all lay prostrate on the ground because of the appearance of the purple whale.
These deep-sea amphibious ships continued to spy on Montana with ferocious eyes, displaying an aura of pouncing on the purple whale as soon as it left.
After thinking for a while, Xiaobai stepped off the float and gently jumped onto the head of the purple whale.
The float left Little White and immediately transformed into golden flames, returning to Montana's side.
The purple whale lifted Little White with its head and rose from the surface of the sea.
"Since we're already here, could you please take me to Yamato-neechan's place?" Shiro said, squatting on top of the purple whale's head and stroking its head.
"Awooo—" The whale opened its mouth and made a sound that did not belong to the whale species.
Xiaobai looked at Montana.
"Montana, it seems there's no need for a fight here. Let's go."
"Hmm... Admiral, you can go first." Montana looked around and shook his head at Little White.
"Ah? What's wrong?"
“As a ship girl, I can’t just leave these Abyssal creatures alone,” Montana said with a smile, the golden flames behind her eagerly transforming into massive golden ship armor. “They all look like they want to devour me alive… So, Admiral, you go ahead, I’ll be there in a bit.”
The golden flames made the purple whale instinctively retreat a few tails.
Seeing Montana enjoying himself so much, Xiaobai sighed helplessly.
"Okay... it doesn't really matter if I go first, so I'll go to Yamato-neechan's place first... remember to come quickly."
“Soon, leave it to me.” Montana gave Xiaobai an OK sign.
Little White then patted the purple whale.
With a roar, the purple whale carried Little White out of the mist, following the path they had come from.
Just as the purple whale left the mist, Xiaobai heard the roars of countless deep-sea ships behind him, along with the sounds of exploding shells, torpedoes, and bombs.
It's really not peaceful.
Xiao Bai thought to himself.
The purple whale carrying Little White looked like a camel carrying a little mouse.
The purple whale skillfully navigated through the mist, approaching the depths of the sea. Because Xiaobai had no ship girl aura, no deep-sea ships tried to stop or attack her along the way.
Everything went incredibly smoothly.
With the help of the purple whale, Little White entered the exceptionally calm and clear dark sea.
The surrounding mist then dissipated.
On the sea, a small, pure white whale floats on the water like an island.
Floating around the pristine white whale were various air cushions and rafts, on which lay ship girls, their bodies tattered and unconscious. From a distance, these colorful ship girls looked like balloons and fairy lights tied to the entrance of a shop during Christmas, a dazzling array.
Little White stood atop the purple whale's head, gazing into the distance.
"Awooo—" the purple whale called out excitedly to the white whale.
The beluga whale didn't even turn its head.
But two slender figures emerged from the beluga whale.
Chapter 3218 Sisters in the Sea
The two figures that rose from the beluga whale were none other than Shinano and Yamato, whom we hadn't seen for several hours.
Shinano Akagi is, after all, the Dean of the Deep Sea, who belongs to Chapter 8. This time, being stationed in the depths of the sea is like returning to her home. Therefore, the deep-sea atmosphere here is naturally much more intimate with her.
Within just a few hours, Shinano's body had unintentionally absorbed a large amount of deep-sea energy, causing her to be surrounded by black smoke-like effects and exuding a strong aura of a deep-sea dean.
However, the Deepsea Yamato, located next to the Deepsea Shinano, is different.
Deepsea Yamato was still the same as when she separated from Shiro. Although she had also switched to the Deepsea Dean form, her purple crystal armor perfectly accentuated her figure. Her body had also absorbed a large amount of deep-sea energy for a long time, but she still had fair skin and a plump and tall figure, showing no sign of ferocity.
"Oh! Little White, it's you!"
When Yamato saw the purple whale in the distance, she immediately waved her slender arms and called out to Shiro.
"Yamato-neechan—"
Shiro stood atop the purple whale's head and waved to Yamato.
The purple whale howled like a puppy returning home, flapping its tail as it made its way to the white whale, and rubbed against its back in front of everyone.
The white whale closed its eyes to rest, unmoved.
Ripples spread across the calm, black sea.
Deep Sea Yamato leaped onto the head of the purple whale in a few quick steps and took Shiro from the purple whale into his arms.
"Oh my, I was wondering why the little purple whale came back so soon after going out. I thought it was trying to slack off and go home, and I was just about to give it a good scolding. Turns out it brought you back, Shiro." Deep Sea Yamato put his arm around Shiro's waist and said with a cheerful smile.
Xiaobai placed her hand on the crystal arm armor on Shenhai Yamato's arm and smiled at him.
"Yes, it has helped me a lot. I should reward it with some deep-sea metal later."
As they were talking, Deep Sea Yamato had already taken Shiro from the purple whale back to the white whale.
Little White's toes gently touched the back of the white whale.
The white whale suddenly trembled slightly. As if sensing something, it swayed its tail, turned its beautiful head slightly, and looked back with its blue eyes.
"Long time no see, little beluga whale." Little White felt the white whale's gaze and greeted her with a smile.
"Woo—" the white whale let out a long, drawn-out sound, then fell silent.
"Honestly, this beluga whale is usually so aloof, even I, its owner, can't get it to do anything," Yamato said, pouting as she looked at the white whale.
"Hmm? She's alright, I think she's quite approachable."
“That’s because I’m being affectionate with you, Shiro…” Yamato Fukami said, then hugged Shiro’s waist and looked behind him. “Huh? Speaking of which, Shiro, you came here alone?”
"No, Montana brought me here."
"What about Montana?"
"They're in a trap."
