Chapter 8: Who Am I

No

Because they are born from the collective thoughts and memories of countless individuals gathered in the history of the warships, the ship girls can actually be described as spirits or heroic spirits

Surely you have seen it before

How the ship girls are born is something that Su Gu has never understood, and even now, he only partially comprehends it

This is a summary regarding the emergence of ship girls, based on previously read books, various accounts from different individuals, what Scharnhorst has said, and the stories told by the escort ship girl who insisted on narrating her own story during the morning encounter.

I brought a friend along, is that alright? ... Oh, it's fine, that's good. Well, you say that since I've listened to so many stories, I should also say something? I don't know what to say, I can't tell stories, and I haven't really read any books. To be honest, I don't read very well... It's alright. You said you wanted to hear about our daily lives? What's so interesting about daily life? ... As a ship girl, daily life. I don't know what to say, I can't tell stories, and I haven't really read any books. To be honest, I don't read very well... It's alright. You said you wanted to hear about our daily lives? What's so interesting about daily life? ... As a ship girl, daily life. How do you know I'm a ship girl? I clearly disguised myself well... What, you saw me standing on the ship with my ship gear advancing on the sea... Alright, alright, it's fine to tell you, but I also know that the little girl beside you is also a ship girl. ... What, you want to know how we were awakened? No one awakened me; I woke up when I had memories... Alright, alright, it's fine to tell you, but I also know that the little girl beside you is also a ship girl. ... What, you want to know how we were awakened? No one awakened me; I woke up when I had memories... That's too much, you actually want to pry into my privacy, no, absolutely cannot say.

This is good; as soon as he finished speaking, Su Gu immediately saw the girl in front of him, who was standing with her hands behind her back, tears streaming down her face.

Su Gu crossed his arms and lowered his head in thought, wondering if it was his own ship girl. However, when he turned his gaze to Little Tirpitz, the little girl looked at him with confusion, clearly indicating that Little Tirpitz did not recognize him. Speaking of red-haired ship girls, even those with similar hair colors.

The construction of ship girls, although it uses the term "construction," actually involves awakening them from steel. This steel cannot simply be melted down in a steel mill; otherwise, ship girls would have already become abundant. In fact, the number of ship girls is far too few compared to humans, and the steel needed to awaken them can only be salvaged from the deep sea. Only steel that has undergone the sedimentation of history, carrying the thoughts and memories of humanity, can awaken ship girls.

Um... little demon, ah, the Alvida, no, it is the Aviel.

Not long after, while walking back to the room, Su Gu said to Tielbits: "In two days, we will be able to disembark. Fortunately, I don't get seasick; the boat ride is really bumpy and quite boring. I should have brought some books when we first boarded. The passenger ship does have a casino, and I went to take a look; it was smoky and chaotic. We should be able to find the Lexington in Gui City, but we must also be prepared for the possibility that we won't find it. Even if we do find it, there's no guarantee that they will help us; we cannot force them. When the time comes, we will take a car and head east. I heard that Chuanxiu City over there has developed entirely around a naval academy that trains admirals. Revitalizing the naval base requires funds, and your amount is insufficient; I also have no money. We need to think of ways to make money. Today, I encountered those ship girls guarding the passenger ship; they are on salary. I was wondering if we could establish a security company?

But we need at least some startup capital."

No

It is precisely because they are born from longing and memories that the ship girls seem to possess an innate ability to discern those who are sincere from those who harbor ill intentions, making them particularly sensitive to human emotions. The ship girls maintain a naive and adorable demeanor in front of their admirals, but anyone else who thinks that the ship girls are easy to bully is gravely mistaken. Even if they appear to be merely young girls, those who approach the ship girls with ulterior motives, believing that their innocent appearance makes them vulnerable, ultimately pay the price.

Have we met before

Over here, over here. As soon as Su Gu walked over, he immediately stood up and waved his hand.

As Su Gu arrived at the agreed location, he saw the other party sitting at the table, engaged in conversation with a girl he did not know, their laughter ringing out unabashedly. Indeed, it was a ship girl who had undergone a change in character.

Is this interesting? Although he thought so in his heart, he did not dare to say such words as he saw the other party about to shed tears. In the end, Su Gu helplessly said: "Who on earth are you? My memory is not very good"

"Broussard"

The Deep Sea Ship Girls were also born from such circumstances, but the difference lies in the fact that if the Ship Girls represent the past history, born from beautiful memories, hope, and courage, then the Deep Sea Ship Girls are born from the grievances of countless individuals, from the memories of struggling before death, in despair and in wails. They embody the accumulation of all that is unpleasant, which is why many Deep Sea Ship Girls appear in forms that are bound or restrained.

Well, San Juan. So, hello there

Little Tirpitz had not yet spoken, and Su Gu noticed that the red-haired girl, who was also a guard ship girl from the same passenger ship, had not left with her companions but seemed to be following him. He wondered what her purpose was. Generally speaking, it shouldn't be the case; perhaps it was just a coincidence. However, it would be good to test whether it was indeed a coincidence.

Yūbari

Joyful and lively, this is the impression given by Su Gu, while another girl appears gentle and familiar

Defeating the Deep Sea Fleet Girls may lead to the discovery of those who are unwilling to be bound by resentment. When they are defeated, the resentment is dispelled, and they experience something beautiful, allowing them to break free from the shackles of the deep sea. They then transform into Fleet Girls, which is what many refer to as "fishing for ships".

The red-haired girl on the other side widened her eyes and pointed at herself, saying: "You, you don't recognize me anymore?"

Each ship girl possesses various personalities upon awakening, but unlike human children who are born without knowledge and must undergo a long process of growth and education to form their own worldview and acquire knowledge, ship girls do not require such a process. They awaken with their own distinct personalities, whether they are indifferent or proud, cheerful or introverted.

Yes, but I still have to sit in the car for a long time. Do you have any plans when you get there? I heard that the scenery there is not very good

Su Gu asked in confusion, "Is there something wrong?"

He stopped Teirbits by pulling him and pointed at the sea level, saying: "Do you see if the sea level looks a bit like an arc? Because the Earth is round"

However, when it comes to why only battleships that have experienced World War I and World War II appear, it is because only these battleships were operated by countless sailors in naval battles. The hopes and despairs amidst the flames of war, these intense memories are the most important reasons for the emergence of ship girls. Although there are also blueprint ships like the Lion, even as a blueprint ship, the Lion carries the thoughts of countless researchers and their yearning for victory.

Then the red-haired girl did not walk past them but stopped beside them

As the sky darkened, after exchanging a few words, everyone bid farewell. The other party, serving as the escort for the passenger ship, should be quite familiar with the itinerary. Thus, as they were leaving, Su Gu casually inquired about it.

Then, Da Feng

And where there are continuously abandoned warships being salvaged, the steel used to awaken the ship girls is largely derived from the sunken ship girls' equipment. These ship girls lived for such a long time in their previous lives, and their equipment also carried their longing and memories. Only then can the admiral awaken the ship girls from this steel. They awaken from the thoughts and memories of the people aboard the warships in the past, which explains why the ship girls possess personalities and knowledge as soon as they awaken, as these are contained within their memories.

No

No

Once the passenger ship docks at Guicheng next time, we will be able to disembark

"It is not about traveling, but about finding someone over there." After saying this, he noticed that the red-haired girl following the other person had an unusual look in her eyes, but it was not something worth paying attention to, as there was fundamentally no intersection or vested interest involved.

At this moment, he recalled that ship girl, who unexpectedly possessed a cheerful or rather unconventional personality

I am the USS San Juan, a light cruiser.
