"Is that so? Then I'm very happy to be Unicorn's pillar of support," Illustrious said, resting her left hand on her chin and smiling brightly.
Just as the two were enjoying their happy time, a major incident occurred at the Ferris wheel's control center on the other side.
"Get away from me, or I'll smash this machine!" a man holding a chair shouted, looking agitated as he faced two police officers.
The two police officers stopped approaching the black-haired man.
A thin officer spoke in a calm, polite tone, "Don't be impulsive. Let's talk this through. Put the chair down first.
Even if you smash this machine, you won't be able to escape. Doing this will only add charges of intentional destruction of property and endangering the safety of others."
If Unicorn were to see this man, she would surely be surprised—wasn't this the same black-haired man who tried to kidnap her?
After the black-haired man was knocked out, Unicorn had called the police.
When they arrived and discovered he was a wanted kidnapper, they immediately moved to arrest him, but just as they stepped forward, he woke up.
Seeing the police officers trying to catch him, the black-haired man naturally wasn't going to just stand there stupidly and wait to be arrested, so he fled.
Seeing the black-haired man trying to escape, the two officers weren't about to just stand by and watch.
After a scuffle, however, the black-haired man managed to find a gap and fled.
The two officers gave chase, pursuing him all the way to the Ferris wheel control center.
Realizing he had nowhere left to run, the black-haired man immediately grabbed a chair, went to the control center's machinery, and threatened the two officers.
"Enough with the chatter! Let me leave, or I'll smash this machine!" the black-haired man snarled.
A stout officer with a somewhat short temper wasn't as easy to talk to as his thin partner.
He immediately barked, "You wouldn't dare! We're not letting you go. Put the chair down, and don't make another mistake, or not even the gods will be able to save you!"
The stout officer lunged at the black-haired man, trying to apprehend him.
Enraged and realizing the stout officer wouldn't let him go, the black-haired man, unable to escape, began smashing the machinery in the Ferris wheel control center.
"Bang!"
Sparks flew from the machine as the black-haired man smashed it.
The two officers quickly subdued him and handcuffed him.
After calling the fire department to handle the situation, they escorted the black-haired man back to the police station.
The amusement park management was left with a massive mess to clean up and was immediately overwhelmed.
They quickly called for repairs and broadcasted an announcement to the passengers, telling them not to panic and that the machinery would be fixed shortly.
Illustrious and Unicorn, stuck in a cabin at the very top of the Ferris wheel, felt helpless.
They hadn't expected to encounter such an accident while enjoying their ride.
Fortunately, they weren't ordinary people; otherwise, they would surely have been trapped there.
In a cabin not far from Illustrious, a middle-aged woman was holding a little girl's head, saying nervously, "Yui, what's wrong? Don't scare Mommy!"
"Help! Someone, help! Please, save my child! Waaah..."
Seeing this, Illustrious and Unicorn naturally wouldn't stand idly by.
A 100-meter-long silver sword slowly manifested in mid-air, and Illustrious's outfit began to shift from a white off-shoulder dress into a white, high-slit qipao.
Unicorn looked at U-chan and said, "I'm counting on you, U-chan!"
U-chan nodded and jumped from the cabin.
With a poof, she transformed into a pegasus.
Unicorn mounted the pegasus and followed Illustrious to the outside of the cabin where the middle-aged woman was calling for help.
As Illustrious unleashed the power of the Silver King, the massive silver sword suspended high in the sky caused the crowd below to buzz with discussion.
"What is that? Such a spectacular, beautiful, and gorgeous giant silver sword!"
"Hmm! That's the Silver King's silver sword. It seems the Silver King has been born."
"Doesn't that mean another monstrous genius is about to emerge?"
Reaching into the void, Illustrious manifested a silver sword in her hand.
She inserted the silver sword into the gap of the door and pried it open with force.
Illustrious stepped into the cabin and said to the middle-aged woman, "What happened?"
Facing the Silver-Haired Girl holding a sword before her, the middle-aged woman said fearfully, "Who are you people? What do you want with us?"
"Don't be afraid, we're not bad people. We're here to help you. What's wrong with your child?" Illustrious said in a gentle tone.
Hearing they were there to help and seeing her child's pained expression, the middle-aged woman knelt before Illustrious and pleaded, "Please save my child!"
Illustrious helped the middle-aged woman to her feet. "There's no need to kneel. Even if you hadn't asked, I would have saved her."
"You truly are a good person! It's like this: my child has a congenital heart condition, and it's flared up suddenly. Could you possibly take her to the hospital?" The middle-aged woman had just seen Illustrious flying in the air. If Illustrious could swiftly take her child to the hospital, the child would definitely be saved.
"So that's what it is. Don't worry, it's a small matter. I'll take your child to the hospital right away." Illustrious stood up, holding the little girl in a princess carry, while Unicorn had the middle-aged woman ride on U-chan.
Illustrious and Unicorn flew through the air towards the nearest hospital. After arriving, the hospital's doctors and nurses immediately began emergency treatment for the little girl. Fortunately, thanks to Illustrious and Unicorn's timely delivery, the little girl was not seriously harmed.
The little girl smiled at Illustrious and Unicorn gratefully. "Thank you, big sister and little sister, for saving me."
"It's nothing. We only did what anyone would have done," Illustrious said, patting the little girl's head.
"Sister, you're not allowed to pat anyone else's head! Sister's head pats belong to me!" Seeing Illustrious pat the little girl's head, Unicorn immediately grew jealous.
"Ara! My adorable little sister, are you jealous?" Illustrious also patted Unicorn's head. Unicorn closed her eyes contentedly, her previously jealous mood now soothed.
After learning the little girl was fine and seeing that it wasn't late, Illustrious took Unicorn and left the hospital to return to the Naval Base.
...
One night, while sleeping in her room, Shokaku came to Illustrious's bedside. Seeing Illustrious asleep, Shokaku climbed on top of her. Feeling the weight, Illustrious woke up.
Looking at Shokaku straddling her, Illustrious's face immediately darkened. She thought to herself: Why do you all like riding me so much?!
Seeing Shokaku come to her so late, Illustrious asked, "Shokaku! What's the matter at this hour?"
"Admiral, it's terrible. Ever since you brought back new Ship Girls, Zuikaku hasn't been herself. Every night she gets up to sharpen her sword and says frightening things," Shokaku said with a worried expression.
"What does she say?" Illustrious asked, puzzled.
