「The size…..」
Karen who walks onto the flight deck of 『Nimitz』 mutters so. Captain Harris who hears this, begins explaining the specifications of 『Nimitz』 proudly.
「The full length of the ship is around 333 metres. It’s total width is 41 metres. It’s load displacement is 100,000 tonnes. Maximum speed 30 knots. It can hold 6,000 people including pilots. Due to it being a large ship, it can also hold 90 aircraft」
Captain Harris laughs at he looks at the state of Karen and the others who show surprised faces. He begins to show the group the other parts of the ship.
Kazuya had also planned to show off another ship straight after 『Nimitz』
「…..It’s wonderful」
Karen leaks a voice unconsciously.
From the 『Nimitz』 it was possible to see the mainland of Parabellum. The naval port boasts a vast open space. Currently, many ships were docked as sparks were flying from engineers continuing with renovations.
Passing the naval port and entering the city of Parabellum, all the roads were paved as modern buildings came into view.
Kazuya glanced at Karen and saw that she had wide eyes, much like that of an excited child.
「Hey, Kazuya. I saw that a while ago, just what is that big building?」
Karen said, whilst turning her eyes to look at something.
「That? It’s a flak tower」
「Flak tower?」
「It makes up a cornerstone of Parabellum’s anti-aircraft network. It is installed with CIWS Phalanx, RIM-116 RAM etc… That battery over there is the OTO Melara 127mm. The entire tower is made from reinforced concrete, in times of emergencies, it can make a good shelter」
「Yeah. So basically it’s a place of refuge?」
「Sorry. I’m bad at explanations」
「Please don’t worry about it」
Questions from Karen came in one after another after that. Before they even knew it, they were at the headquarters for Parabellum.
「Well, I’m going to stop here since I have things to do. Major General Ibuki will be your guide」
「Well…..I understand」
Karen says goodbye to Kazuya, showing a somewhat lonely expression as Chitose and Kazuya enter the command centre.
After finally getting to his office, Kazuya remembered something.
「Now that I think about it, I completely forgot. Did we already send Zara to the Imperial Capital?」(TLN: The girl he originally set out to save xD)
「Yes. After the battle at the fort city, we sent her to the capital with an escort of 5 soldiers. The guards reported that Beretta was glad to see that her sister was safe」
「Really? That’s good」
Whilst listening to Chitose, Kazuya continued to work without stopping his hand.
「–after this…..what’s wrong Chitose? Why are you laughing?」
「Fufu. It’s nothing (Finally, master is accustomed to it being just the two of us )」
After Kazuya asked Chitose that question, she replied generically whilst showing a small smile.
