Finding Sofia was easy. Her body created from artificial intelligence and Wisdom Cube from my active weapons list. I just need to search her from my submarine system and follow her position coordinates.
Yep, Sofia was a biological weapon created from the Weapons From Another World skill.
The problem is... she was in a very eye-catching place like a restaurant inhabited by Sakura Empire ship girls and still eating Japanese food.
Ugh... What's that?
Teriyaki torpedo?
At a glance, I saw a ship girl eating a long torpedo covered in crispy flour.
Eh, that's tempura!
Tempura torpedo!
Huh?! They're eating unique food... for ship girls?
Ah, I almost forgot that this Azur Lane world is indeed strange.
Putting aside the weird food. Right now, I prepared for battle between one ship girl versus another nation's Admiral.
Tiiiing.. Kachiing...
The sound of a bell rang when I opened the entrance door and the gaze of the ship girls inside the restaurant was diverted to me.
Sofia, who was talking to one of the Admirals, looked at me and waved her hand.
"Maaaasssteeerr!!" Sofia exclaimed.
Sofia's exclamation was very eye-catching.
Moreover… Master?
It made some of my fine hairs tremble facing the sharp gazes of the shipgirls around me. As a small note, the shipgirls around me were from the Sakura Empire, Iron Blood, Royal Navy, and Sardegna Empire nations.
"How is it? Is that important business finished?" Sofia asked from a distance.
"Ah, is our tasks have increased again this time?" Sofia continued her question while staring at the object in my hand.
I rushed over to her and put the object in my hand on the table. Sofia and the unknown Admiral sitting in front of her seemed to have finished enjoying lunch.
"Oh, you didn't order lunch for me?" I asked.
"Excuse me, Master. Before I order our lunch. They invited me to have lunch together," Sofia said while glancing at the unknown Admiral in front of her.
"Oh? Is that so?" I answered briefly.
"Un, why don't we order lunch one more time?"
Sofia stood up from her chair and walked towards the ordering table but a small sign indicating that lunch time orders were over made her turn back.
"Excuse me, Master. It seems they are limiting lunch orders for us."
"Well, at least we still have some spare food in the form canned meat and… Ugh! Why do I have to eat canned food on a military base?" I grumbled while glaring at the unknow Admiral in front of me.
Sofia's behavior was very different from usual. With a small blink of her eyes, I tried to follow her charade. My instincts told me that Sofia had obtained important information from another nation's Admiral. It was only a matter of time before Sofia gave it to me.
"Sofia…"
"We have orders from the Admiralty Code."
I handed Sofia the order paper and the black disc.
Sofia slowly read the order paper and placed the black disc on her left hand.
"Eh? Decommissioned Seawolf-class? This is so funny. Why would they want to stop the successful Seawolf program?" Sofia asked.
"Ah! The answer is on the black disc, as always... Do we need to hear it now?" Sofia continued while taking out the her Wisdom Cube in hand.
"Good idea, Sofia," I replied to Sofia's words by taking out my fake Wisdom Cube in my hand.
When we took out the Wisdom Cube at the same time, the unknown Admiral in front of me was surprised. The same response was seen from the other ship girls around me. Men who can use the Wisdom Cube are rare in the world of Azur Lane.
Why?
The answer is very simple. Every ship has a Wisdom Cube and every ship is a girl. According to that simple logic, ship girls are the only ones who have the Wisdom Cube. So, if there is a man who can use the Wisdom Cube. That is a rare thing in this world. It's just that my Wisdom Cube is smaller in size and gives off a mysterious, gripping dark aura like siren.
The black disc in Sofia's hand began to glow, float, and spin. A nostalgic song sounded in my ears. It was music that was often played by one of the great countries that fought for freedom and oil.
That was, When Johnny Comes Marching Home.
Just as the name, that should be enough to explain that country. A country known as the Eagle Union in this world.
Is this a Treason agains my nations?
No! This is not treason against one's nation.
My current nation is "none/partial Eagle Union".
In other words, I'm not affiliated with any nation and Eagle Union is just a partial options.
The song played until Sofia stopped it.
"It seems like this message is addressed to Flagship-only," Sofia handed me the record.
Curious about the message, I spun the recorder with my fake Wisdom Cube. The blue and red lights that shone in my hand were like the siren's shockwaves. As the sound flowed, a strange screen appeared in front of me. A screen containing a hidden message from the Admiralty Code to me.
Eh?
Heh?!
What is this?
Why this fake body have such a terrible history based on quest story?
I live in such a terrible fake body!
What is this?
Destroying the siren's elite convoy on its first patrol?
A thanks from the leader of the Eagle Union and the originator of the idea for the reconstruction of the Eagle Union ship girl with a special class?
Urgh... What is this project?
Project Yorktown II?
Project Hornet II?
Project Northampton II?
Project Hammann II?
Project Langley II?
It was all the idea of this fake body? And they have been almost completed?
Eh? They are waiting for my approval to regroup in Azur Lane main base?
Putting aside my genius old friend, it turns out that this fake body identities by system quest is no less of a genius with his submarine battles and always returns to base with some good news.
The reason for the termination of Seawolf program is Eagle Union's dwindling finances to build the single ships of Seawolf class.
Their equipment is not too bad for build a new ship.
After the black disc stopped spinning. I got a new communication channel and new orders from the Admiralty Code hidden behind the black disc.
"Kuh! This is so troublesome! Why do I have to be the Admiral of the Navy for Azur Lane's submarine operations!"
I slammed the black disc until it shattered into pieces. My actions attracted attention that I shouldn't have.
"Ah! I have to do it, don't I?" I said with full annoyance.
"Master, this job is getting more and more troublesome. It's time for us to betray Eagle Union!" said Sofia while smiling.
"Un! Good idea! It's time for us to betray Eagle Union!"
This was just a joke for Sofia and me. However, the expressions of the other ship girls around me turned pale.
With a small nod from Sofia, I walked out of this place towards the room that my old friend had prepared.
On this small journey, Sofia held back her small laugh that slowly escaped.
"Ahahaha!! What was that? They were so funny to play with!" Sofia exclaimed.
From their point of view, that was a very bold statement. Betraying a large nation like Eagle Union could only be done by certain groups and I was one of them.
Huh, I am already worthy of being the Main Villain, aren't I?
"Master, I received sensitive information from another nation."
"They have found out about Eagle Union's secret Seawolf program and have protested Azur Lane's representatives. One of the representatives they used to protest was-"
"USS Enterprise, right?" I said, interrupting Sofia's explanation.
"Exactly! Eh? Master has found out about that?" Sofia asked.
"Seeing the chaos that occurred in Eagle Union and the Admiralty Code's order made me one of Admiral of the Navy. It would be foolish not to realize Enterprise's involvement. As an aircraft carrier that is the foremost weapon against the sirens. She was influential enough to change Eagle Union's military orders. The redevelopment of her sister ship, the Yorktown II, was my bullshit idea. By repairing her sister-ships, the Seawolf program could progress under Azur Lane's radar. Of course, I would destroy our submarine to run the new secret submarine program."
"So that's it... like dying and rebirth..." Sofia replied.
"Re-Developing a submarine that uses Siren and META technology. Doesn't that sound fun?" I said with a small smile.
"Fufufu... Master... Do you want to step into Siren or META path?"
"Perhaps... both..." I replied.
This conversation stopped after we arrived at the Eagle Union dormitory.
For the time being, Sofia and I would sleep in a comfortable room.
I could only hope that Sofia would not be too noisy at night with her adrenaline-filled night-attack activities.
