Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 583 A coincidence of the same name?
In a beautiful Japanese-style courtyard planted with various exquisite potted plants, two elegant fox ladies with proud figures and a pair of fox ears on their heads were sitting side by side on the spacious edge of the wooden house watching the scenery.

Shinano, and Musashi.

This is a dream world created by Shinano, and Musashi successfully made contact with Shinano in the dream.

"So, you have escorted the commander and are on the way back."

After learning roughly what happened to them after arriving in the United States of Oran from Musashi's mouth, Shinano sighed slowly in a lazy voice.

"Exactly, if we really find the door network in the Siren Fortress, maybe the return time will be shorter."

Musashi has already informed Shinano of the situation that Lin Lan analyzed to her last night. When she said this, she looked at her sister with some concern and asked:
"How are you doing, Amagi-sama?"

"Hey……"

After hearing Musashi's question about Amagi, Shinano sighed softly and replied eloquently:

"Her physical condition is not very optimistic. Lord Shenzi has taken action and created a barrier for her. It is a blessing of fate that you and Akagi went to Baiying to bring back the commander."

Musashi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Nagato took action to curb Amagi's physical deterioration.

As the god child of Sakura, she trusts in the power of Nagato's Secret Art of Sakura, at least Amagi will definitely be able to last until the commander reaches Liaozhou.

But at this time, Musashi remembered something that had always surprised her, and asked Shinano:
"After I met with the commander, he didn't seem to expect that I would arrive. You had already established a dream connection with him before we set off. Didn't you inform him about our trip to White Eagle?"

"The dream connection between the concubine and the commander has been disconnected. The concubine has been trying, but now the concubine is still unable to contact the commander in the dream."

Shinano was not surprised that Musashi would ask her this question. She lowered her white fox ears slightly, thinking and analyzing:
"There are two possibilities. One, the siren tampered with the commander's body, blocking the dream connection between the commander and the concubine."

"If not, the concubine will not be able to see you in the dream."

Hearing what Shinano said, Musashi also thoughtfully swayed the purple fox tail behind him, and said in a dignified tone:
"The commander was indeed captured by observers when he was in the Iron-Blooded camp before, but the commander also had dream contact with you in White Eagle. This cannot be easily concluded... What is the second one?"

"Secondly..."

Shinano looked at the garden of dreams in front of the two of them, and hesitated for a while.

In the courtyard, the crisp sound of running water and exquisite bonsai are so peaceful and beautiful.

But she understands that not all dreams are so peaceful, and this is also the reason for her hesitation.

"The second is that the commander inspired a large number of memory fragments hidden in his subconscious, so that his dreams have been filled with these memories."

"In layman's terms, the commander did not enter the dream after falling asleep, but was trapped in those memory fragments."

After Shinano finished speaking, he once again set his sights on Musashi, and asked with concern:

"Has the commander mentioned to you recently that he has dreamed about the past?"

Musashi carefully recalled everything that happened since she saw Lin Lan, and then shook his head slightly:

"I will ask him about it after I wake up from the dream. Maybe he has dreamed about it but never mentioned it to me."

After saying that, Musashi slowly stood up and straightened his purple kimono.

The intelligence matters that she was supposed to communicate with Shinano had been completed, and it was time to leave the dreamland.

Shinano watched Musashi getting up and about to leave. Suddenly he seemed to remember something and asked hesitantly:
"Sister, do you still remember the child adopted by Senior Mikasa?"

Musashi didn't expect Shinano to bring up this topic with her. She looked down at Shinano and asked strangely:

"You mean the child named Yuki who was released from the spell by Lord Shenzi?"

"Well, after leaving a letter to help Amagi find medicinal materials, she went to Inaba Island alone after being described by the children of the destroyer, and has not returned yet."

Shinano said with some concern, but Musashi just nodded, and did not have any mood swings because of Yuki's disappearance.

"It's just an outsider, and this child has a heart. As a local in Liaozhou, she has the means to protect herself."

Musashi said lightly.

Snow Sakura Island, where the temporary stronghold of Sakura is located, is not too far from Inaba Island, and almost all the monsters in Snow Sakura Island and the surrounding sea have been cleaned up by the heavy cherry blossoms.

Since that girl planned to go to Xueying Island alone to help Tiancheng, she shouldn't die so easily.

Even if the other party never comes back, it is not something worth worrying about for them.

She didn't understand why Shinano would specifically mention this human girl to her.

But Shinano changed the subject, and asked Musashi again a question that seemed to have nothing to do with this matter:

"Sister, what's the commander's name?"

"Lin Lan...is this related to this matter?"

Musashi watched Shinano stand up slowly, and asked back.

Her sister's usually lazy and indifferent face showed a rare serious look.

A thought flashed in her mind, could it be that the commander knew this girl?
But immediately Musashi rejected this idea with absolute certainty.

The commander told her that since he came to this world, he has been staying in the United States of Oran, and it is absolutely impossible to meet this girl.

"The concubine entered her dream before she left, and wanted to try to help her recover the forgotten memories in her subconscious."

"Just as Miko-sama and my concubine guessed, Yuki does have a long memory, but this time... lasts nearly a thousand years."

Shinano's cobalt blue eyes looked directly at Musashi and continued to speak slowly:
"She spent almost all of these thousand years in darkness, as if sealed in a dark space similar to an enchantment, so that she has always maintained the appearance of a young girl."

"This is also in line with Miko-sama's previous conjecture. She and Mutsu did find traces of enchantment and spells cast on Yuki that night. Those spells are likely to be the cause of her amnesia."

When he said this, Shinano's voice was full of mixed emotions of doubt, uncertainty and bewilderment:
"I kept searching along her memory. Just before she woke up from the dream, I traced back in her dream the memory fragments of a few seconds before she was sealed into the barrier."

"Before she was sealed in that black barrier, the name of the last important person in her heart... included the name of the commander."

Musashi was not intimidated by Shinano's extremely impactful words, she put her right index finger knuckles on her lips, and fell into deep thought.

And Shinano didn't say anything to interrupt Musashi's thoughts.

For a moment, apart from the crisp sound of running water, there was no sound in the courtyard in the dreamland.

"Maybe it's just an accidental duplication of names?"

After a long time, Musashi finally spoke.

But it seemed that even she herself didn't believe that there would be such a coincidence in the world, so she shook her head slightly.

In the end, she set her sights on Shinano, and asked in a solemn tone:
"How long has it been since Yuki left Yukisakura Island?"

"More than three days."

Musashi, who received Shinano's reply, narrowed his eyes slightly, and slowly told Shinano her arrangement:

"After waking up from the dream, let Miko-sama send the children of the destroyer and the light fleet to Inaba Island to retrieve Yuki."

"This matter concerns the commander. Even if it is just a coincidence, we must not be careless in the slightest."
