If nothing unexpected happens.
……
In front of the factory gate of the Obsidian Mercenary Group's base, several ship girls were squatting at the entrance, yawning and chatting.
The alarm that sounded a few minutes ago over the office building was of course heard by these ship girls. However, as the saying goes, different duties call for different people. Even though the ship girls who were guarding the gate heard the alarm, they still had to stand guard at the gate and watch over the personnel coming and going.
"Ugh... so boring." A ship girl squatted on the steps and sighed, "I also want to go and help out at the office building."
"Who told us to be gatekeepers today... Let's take a break, let's take a break." Another ship girl leaned against the door, stretching.
"Sigh, I wonder what the situation is like over at the office building."
"What else can we do? We have so many people here, what can we possibly do if we lose to infiltrators?"
"Oh ho, that makes sense."
"Let's go check on the intruder at the office building after get off work tonight. Maybe they've already been caught by now." The ship girl was saying to her companion when suddenly her ears twitched, as if she had noticed something, and she looked curiously at the road in the center of the main entrance.
A petite figure appeared on the road at the factory gate.
The north wind is blowing.
Fallen leaves danced in the air.
Several tumbleweeds flew through the middle of the road.
It has a distinct Western cowboy vibe.
"Huh? That looks like..." The two ship girls guarding the gate were stunned when they saw the figure appear at the entrance. They quickly stood up and looked surprised. "Isn't that Vestal?"
The Vess is quite famous among the civilian ship girls in Kyoto. Even civilian ship girls like the Obsidian Mercenary Group, who have never sought the Vess's treatment, know what she looks like.
"Who is coming!"
The gatekeeper ship girls shouted at the goddess of the hearth.
The goddess of the hearth ignored the shouts of the gatekeeper ship girls and silently walked towards them, already close to their side.
The female hearth goddess appeared at the gate with a pale face, looking extremely upset. Ignoring the two gatekeeper ship girls, she walked to the gate and tried to walk inside as if no one else was there.
"Stop idlers!"
The gatekeeper ship girl reached out to stop the female hearth goddess and tried to push her back as she approached.
But the moment he touched the body of the goddess of the hearth.
The two gatekeeper ship girls blocking the gate felt an unparalleled power emanating from the Vestal Goddess. In an instant, they felt that the Vestal Goddess's body was as heavy as steel, and they could not push her away at all.
"Huh?" The gatekeeper ship girl was stunned.
How can the goddess of the hearth have so much strength...? Isn't she supposed to be a repair ship?
With doubts.
The gatekeeper ship girls looked up at the goddess of the hearth.
Just then, the goddess of the hearth was also watching the gatekeeper ship girl.
The goddess of the hearth had a very serious expression; she pouted, her cute face full of anger.
A streak of red light, like the tail of a meteor, trailed long lines from the sockets of the goddess of the hearth as she moved.
The goddess of the hearth raised her hand and waved it at the gatekeeper ship girl as if swatting away a mosquito.
The two gatekeeper ship girls felt a great force, and then they were uncontrollably sent flying backward.
There was a bang.
The ship girls' bodies slammed against the wall not far away.
Chapter 1717 Transformation
The goddess of the hearth was very angry.
Really angry.
In the twenty years that the goddess of the hearth has been a security guard, today might be the angrier she has ever been.
—Just after the female god of the hearth and Yubari returned from the police station and tried to call Shiro but couldn't get through, Yubari and the female god of the hearth immediately realized that "Shiro has lost contact" was a very urgent situation.
For Yubari Nagaharu and New Jersey, Shiro is an important admiral to them. If the admiral loses contact, they will be anxious and worried without any ship girls.
For the Goddess of the Hearth, Xiaobai is a good friend from afar, a benefactor who not only provides her with food and lodging but also helps her find the swindler who withheld her wages for twenty years and finally gives her justice. Now that such a benefactor has lost contact, the Goddess of the Hearth is no less anxious and nervous than Xiaobai's ship girls.
None of the ship girls present were fools.
Xiaobai couldn't have disappeared without a reason; everything in the world has a cause-and-effect relationship to some extent.
So, after failing to get through to Shiro's phone, Yubari and the Vesshin immediately thought of the mercenary group that had been bothering the Vesshin for over a decade.
—Could it be that the mercenary group's informant at the ship equipment research center finally realized that their attempt to bribe the Goddess of the Hearth had been exposed, so they became despondent and prepared to kidnap the innocent Little White to threaten the Goddess of the Hearth into joining them?
The more the goddess of the hearth and Yubari thought about it, the more sense it made.
then.
The goddess of the hearth mobilized her network of connections in Kyoto, found the civilian ship girls who were still in Kyoto, and asked them if they knew if the mercenary group had recently come to Kyoto.
Most of the civilian ship girls in Kyoto had received the blessings of the goddess of the hearth. Faced with the goddess of the hearth's question, most of the civilian ship girls told her everything they knew and had seen about the mercenary group without any hesitation.
Never underestimate the information-searching capabilities of a small circle.
Soon, the goddess of the hearth and Yubari obtained all the information they wanted to know.
—That mercenary group did indeed lead a large number of people to Kyoto, as if they were planning something big. And this morning, some civilian ship girls saw their people chasing two ship girls all over the streets near the ship equipment research center.
Having read this far, the answer is clearly obvious.
It seems that Xiaobai was indeed kidnapped by that mercenary group!
When she first received the news, the goddess of the hearth was shocked, then felt guilty, and then felt utterly furious.
The goddess of the hearth was shocked that the mercenary group that had entangled her more than ten years ago had indeed kidnapped Xiaobai. Her guilt stemmed from the fact that she had indeed implicated Xiaobai in this matter. Finally, her overwhelming anger was directed at Xiaobai, her great benefactor, who had been betrayed by an uncooperative civilian mercenary group.
unacceptable!
This is outrageous!
If you have any underhanded tricks or dirty schemes, feel free to come at me, the Goddess of the Kitchen.
Anyway, I, the female kitchen god, am tough and thick-skinned; I'm used to living a poor and hard life!
But you actually dared to harm my great benefactor, the goddess of the hearth! How dare you hurt such a good person?! Where has your conscience gone?!
The female Kitchen Goddess is real; this is the first time in her life she's been so angry.
Yubari finally found out the location of the mercenary group's base from the civilian ship girls; it was in the factory area on the outskirts of Kyoto.
Subsequently, the goddess of the hearth and Yubari and the others rushed to the factory area and found the location where the Obsidian Mercenary Group was stationed.
Then, the goddess of the hearth arrived at the factory gate and encountered the two ship girls guarding the gate.
The goddess of the hearth dislikes fighting.
However, this does not mean that the goddess of the hearth is not good at fighting.
Although Vestal is only a weak repair ship, she is born with a magical transformation ability. Vestal does not know how this ability came about, but she knows very well that as long as she uses this ability, her ship type will temporarily evolve from a repair ship into an all-around and all-powerful aviation battleship, and possess unreasonable combat power.
This was the deepest secret buried in the heart of the talented Kitchen Goddess. She knew very well that once she revealed her ability to transform, admirals from all over the world would come in droves to invite her to join the naval base, and her life in Kyoto would never be peaceful.
Therefore.
In order to continue to perfectly conceal this power of transformation, ensure the peace of her life, and stay away from battlefields she dislikes, the goddess of the hearth deliberately highlights her healing abilities to attract the attention of everyone who notices her.
However... compared to Xiaobai's safety, this secret is obviously insignificant.
"boom!!"
Before the two gatekeeper ship girls could even utter a few lines, they were completely flung away by the Vesta Goddess's "casual flick," crashing into the wall behind them like baseballs being hit by a baseball bat.
The ship girls' bodies are protected by ship equipment, so they didn't suffer much damage from Vestal's "gentle nudge".
Even so, their limbs and torsos were hammered deep into the iron wall, the steel bars and cement forming solid shackles that tightly bound their bodies. The ship girls could hardly exert any strength and could only remain embedded in the wall, staring blankly at the goddess of the hearth standing at the gate.
"Huh? This, this power..."
"This... what on earth is this..."
The ship girls who were smashed into the wall by the Vestal were completely stunned by this scene. They stared in disbelief at the Vestal's petite body, which had not even released its ship equipment. They were all wide-eyed and confused, as if they were dreaming.
"I'm asking you!" The goddess of the hearth, her eyes gleaming with a red light, walked up to the two ship girls, glaring fiercely at them. "Is your mercenary group called the Obsidian Mercenary Group?!"
"what?"
"Yes or no!"
"...Yes...yes." The gatekeeper ship girls felt powerless under the glare of the goddess of the hearth, filled with the fear of a rabbit watching a lion or tiger. For a moment, they dared not think too much and could only answer the goddess of the hearth's questions timidly.
"Did you arrest someone this afternoon?"
"Ah? This...this..."
"Answer now!" The female stove goddess stomped her foot hard, and with a thud, the cement road cracked like a spider web beneath her feet.
"I...I don't know, I really don't know..." The ship girls trembled, their faces turning pale with fright at the sight of the goddess of the hearth, on the verge of tears. "I...I only know that our captain said he was looking for someone today...As for whether he caught him or not, we really don't know..."
"Where is your commander?!"
"This, this..." The ship girls gritted their teeth, lowered their heads, and stammered.
"Don't force them to talk about these kinds of questions," Yubari's voice came from behind the goddess of the hearth.
The gatekeeper ship girl looked up and saw three more ship girls appear behind the female hearth goddess. One of them, wearing a white coat, walked up to the female hearth goddess with her hands in her pockets and said something to her.
"As for where the commander is, we can find out by entering the factory and looking at where there are the most ship girls guarding the area."
"I see!" The goddess of the hearth's eyes lit up, then she turned and rushed into the factory. "I'll go clear the way first!"
Yubari watched as the goddess of the hearth disappeared into the factory, and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Just then, a trembling voice came from Yubari's ear.
"Please...please..."
"Whatever you want to do, please... please don't hurt our commander..."
"Commander, the commander is still very young..."
"I apologize for our commander's actions... Please..."
Yubari turned his head.
The two ship girls who had just been smashed into the wall by the goddess of the hearth were trembling, tears streaming down their faces, pleading softly to him.
"..." Yubari silently looked at the two ship girls.
After a while.
Yubari sighed.
She looked up and smiled at the two ship girls.
"Don't worry, I'm a ship girl too. I understand. No ship girl wants to see her master threatened," Yubari said gently to the two ship girls.
"Thank you..." The two gatekeeper ship girls looked at Yubari with surprise.
“However…” But Yubari’s expression quickly turned serious. She stared intently into the eyes of the two gatekeeper ship girls and said to them, word by word, “This statement also applies to us.”
Yubari's eyes were filled with a resolute expression.
The gatekeeper ship girls, seeing the resolute look in Yubari's eyes, instinctively trembled, then couldn't help but glance in the direction of their captain's office building.
"Oh? So your commander is there?" Yubari noticed the look in the gatekeeper's eyes and smiled slightly.
"Huh? No, no... liu er si si ba si- kun..."
"Little Changchun!"
In front of the two gatekeeper ship girls.
Yubari raised her hand, pointed to an office building in the direction the gatekeeper ship girl had been looking, and called out to a ship girl behind her.
"Yubari-nee-san, I'm here!"
"See that office building over there? Bomb it with your missiles! Just control the power a bit, about 30-40% is enough!"
"Yes!" Changchun summoned her ship's equipment, and two bright red missiles rose straight up from behind her, aimed at the distant office building. "Sister Yubari, I'm ready, and I can launch at any time!"
