She asked Jack, "That plane seems a bit ominous. Commander, are you sure Observer will be alright?"
"Hakuryuu's Tenrai is only enhanced to +12, which is slightly weaker than Shinano's +13 Tenrai. Although it also comes with a bit of Siren special attack, it's... no problem!"
Jack gave a thumbs-up, not mentioning that Hakuryuu's other two gold-tier carrier-borne aircraft were also +13.
Besides, Observer is so cute; she'll surely cry for a long time if she gets beaten up.
"Wuwu, Commander, is this also a form of abuse and punishment?"
"Just consider it as such."
Jack patted Observer's head, then looked at Hakuryuu.
"Go all out! I'll take responsibility for anything that happens! Even if you lose a hand or a foot, I can put them back exactly as they were."
With that, Jack used a super-large range Jade Chamber Shield to enclose the battlefield sea area.
Hakuryuu smiled happily.
Because of this protective net, she wouldn't have to worry about accidentally injuring her Shipgirl companions on the viewing platform.
As for getting hurt?
If she feared such things, she wouldn't be called Hakuryuu!
Everything was ready.
Jack launched a firework into the sky, signaling the official start of the battle.
Boom!
After the firework exploded.
Hakuryuu and Observer simultaneously summoned their rigging.
Hakuryuu's rigging, which originally seemed "bulky" even among Shipgirls, immediately appeared petite when compared to the Siren Observer.
The two exchanged glances, and Hakuryuu directly launched the first attack.
"This is, Divine Punishment!!"
Hakuryuu raised the nodachi in her hand, pointing it directly at the sky.
Then, several bolts of Holy Judgment lightning descended from the sky, striking towards Observer's head.
Observer smiled lightly, raising an octopus tentacle.
Buzz!
The lightning struck the tentacle.
However, Observer was unharmed.
"Hakuryuu's attack... had no effect?" Ibuki was a little surprised; it was her first time seeing Hakuryuu's attack result in zero damage.
"No, look closely! The Siren used her rigging to summon a field; the air has traces of shattering."
The one who spoke these words was Azuma, a blueprint Shipgirl like Ibuki, a Super Cruiser.
Ibuki looked in the direction Azuma pointed, and indeed, about a few centimeters above the monstrous tentacle, countless translucent hexagonal shields formed a protective field.
...
"Oh? You actually blocked it, quite impressive. I just wonder if your shield is big enough, thick enough!"
Hakuryuu put her sword behind her back, and suddenly a wild laugh bloomed on her face.
"Hah!——"
The long nodachi slashed out from behind her in an extremely wild posture. After circling forward in a certain trajectory, it then cut in the opposite direction, and instantly, streaks of azure blue, lightning-infused blade light were flung out.
