Chapter 453: Tiancheng Steps Forward

Hah, although I admit your strength is now greater than mine, do you really think it's that easy to get rid of us? Perhaps you're underestimating us. The Monarch said disdainfully to Kaga in front of her.

Then let's try. Blue foxfire ignited from Kaga's hand, while the Monarch's hand produced that long staff, and a great battle seemed about to erupt.

At that moment a voice sounded, "Enough!"

Only Qin Ge was seen glaring angrily at the scene, and after hearing those words, the foxfire on Kaga's hand vanished instantly, while the Monarch's staff was set down on the ground.

What are you trying to do? Internal strife? Qin Ge turned his head to look at Akagi, and asked, "What do you mean by 'clearing out'?"

Hehe, of course it's the literal meaning. Akagi smiled and said, "We are the 1st Carrier Division of the glorious Fleet, known as the invincible Fleet's 1st Carrier Division; the commander only needs us by his side, everyone else are just annoying pests."

Qin Ge heard this and didn't get angry, but rather spoke very calmly to Akagi, "So you're serious?"

Not seeing Qin Ge angry, nor seeing him agree, this very calm expression left Akagi puzzled.

Qin Ge ignored Akagi's doubtful expression, slightly shook his head and said, "If it weren't for Tiancheng having warned me when I arrived, I might really have flown into a rage and erased our contract."

"Older sister..." Akagi was stunned.

Qin Ge said to Akagi, "Tiancheng told me that since you lost her as a child, your personality has become somewhat twisted; although you usually appear very proper, once you encounter something you deem yours, you won't let go."

Sometimes you'll spare no means, and that's also the key to you becoming the ruler of the Sakura Empire. So she asked me to be more understanding; I didn't expect her to be right.

So Akagi, I want to ask you a question: among those annoying pests you mentioned, does your older sister count?

"Of course not!" Akagi shouted, "My older sister is Akagi's older sister, so she certainly isn't an annoying pest."

Is that so?

A voice sounded from outside the door, and shortly after Tiancheng and Lan walked in.

"Older sister!" Akagi exclaimed in surprise, "How are you here?"

Tiancheng ignored Akagi's question, instead walking over to Qin Ge and the fleet girls, bowing to them and saying, "Sorry, Your Majesty and everyone, it's Tiancheng's lax discipline that caused my younger sister to trouble you all."

So just leave the rest to Tiancheng; Tiancheng will definitely teach my younger sister what it means to get along. He coughed..., and Guanghui smiled.

This made Qin Ge involuntarily step forward, take her hand, and say, "You've also been tired these days; pay more attention to rest, I can understand, so don't be too harsh."

Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty; Tiancheng's body is fine, these are just old ailments. Tiancheng smiled, "Please go rest, Your Majesty; you've worked hard for so long, and there are still many matters that will need your attention."

So whether for you or for the entire Fleet, Your Majesty's health is the most important.

Qin Ge glanced at Akagi, who had her head lowered nearby, then said, "Well, you should rest early too; I'm heading back first."

Yes, Your Majesty, take care. Tiancheng said with a smile.

Afterwards Qin Ge led the Monarch and the others out of the conference room, and at that moment only Tiancheng, Lan, and Akagi and Kaga remained in the room.

"Older sister..." Akagi whispered.

I don't know why, even though Tiancheng's current proficiency hasn't reached full proficiency and is far below Akagi's level, Akagi finds that whenever she sees Tiancheng, she feels like a mouse seeing a cat, feeling some fear deep down, especially when Tiancheng wears a stern face.

Hehe, Akagi, what should I say about you? Tiancheng looked up and said to Akagi, "I've told you for so long about the Monarch's personality; why did you take the first step into his forbidden zone?"

I just wanted to grasp him in my hand; from the moment I decided to come to Donghuang, I knew he was the person I was looking for. Full of miracles, full of the future, able to lead us to the endpoint. Akagi said.

Tiancheng smiled, "Hehe, so this is why you hid it from me? I said earlier, how could you so easily agree to the commander's terms? It seems you had plans all along."

"Older sister." Akagi said, embracing Tiancheng's arm, "So from now on, don't worry about it; just leave everything to me, okay?"

Tiancheng gave a slight smile, "Do you think I'll agree to you?"

Of course, older sister likes me the most. Akagi said coquettishly.

Tiancheng shook his head, "If you're trying to win the Monarch's favor, I can't stop you, and perhaps that's also what I hope for. But I don't want you to strain your relationships with others in the future."

We have always been a Fleet; although your ability is currently stronger, in the end it's not certain. The commander currently has Xinong, a maritime legend, by his side, and he might summon other maritime legends in the future.

Not to mention those people, even just those few leader-level figures are not something you can oppose in the future.

When it came to this point, Akagi wanted to rebut, but Tiancheng stopped her, saying, "You don't need to counterargue; perhaps you think that even if they later reach the same Awakening state as you, they wouldn't affect you, at most it would be a draw."

But have you considered that behind them stands an entire faction? So never underestimate anyone in the Fleet, especially the Monarch's Fleet.

Take the Monarch just now, for example; she's only appeared not long ago, yet her combat power is already on par with that of an Awakened Shipgirl. If she were to Awaken, could you still steadily suppress her?

This... Akagi hesitated, after all they know little about research Shipgirls and dare not guarantee.

So, restrain your nature. I can allow you to get close to the Monarch, but be sure not to go overboard; if you provoke the Fleet's displeasure or the Monarch's displeasure, even with your two such strengths, it would be an unsafe factor for the entire Fleet, and the Monarch might not rule out retiring you or dissolving your contract!

Understood, older sister. Akagi whispered.

I hope you understand, after all you've held power in the faction for so long; I think I don't need to explain these principles in too much detail. With that, she walked toward the door.

Lan beside them glanced at Akagi and Kaga, then closely followed.
