"I didn't expect you to deploy your Ship Qi Shield so quickly! If you were a second later, your whole body would have definitely been reduced to bone," Dido said with a smile as she approached Königsberg.
However, thinking seriously about the overbearing power of this Death Qi, Dido suddenly added, "Wait, maybe even the bones would be corroded by the Death Qi. You would actually turn into thin air! Hee hee hee!"
"Well? Do you admit defeat?"
"I admit defeat. Retract this Death Qi!" Königsberg couldn't help but lower her head; she had no choice but to surrender. Right now, if the opponent wanted to kill her, it would be effortless.
"Ah! What! You actually gave up? Fine, I accept, but if you want me to retract this Death Qi, you have to do as I say. Quickly, say: 'I am a sow'!" Dido hadn't expected her to give up so fast. She thought the other party would be arrogant, saying things like 'the dignity of an Epic cannot be insulted' or 'kill me if you wish'.
"What? Youngster, let me tell you, I was just careless. You can't lack martial ethics and act recklessly. We are both Ship Girls; we should value truth, goodness, and beauty. Leave a margin for each other so we can meet again in the future. I hope you behave yourself." Even though she lost, Königsberg remained proud and would not bow to others.
Königsberg would absolutely not say such shameful words. Even if she died, even if she jumped off from here, she would never call herself a sow.
"As expected of a role model among Epic Ship Girls, so proud that it makes me want to worship you. In that case, I understand! Then you can slowly enjoy yourself here! I won't disturb you anymore." After sighing, Dido turned around, intending to leave.
Seeing Dido intending to abandon her and ignore her, Königsberg panicked. Her current purple Ship Qi couldn't last much longer! Before long, the Ship Qi Shield would break because she lacked the purple Ship Qi to maintain it.
At that time, Königsberg would be exposed to the Death Qi and turn into white bones. No! She was still so young and beautiful; she didn't want to sink so soon!
"Hey! Don't go! Come back! Retract this Death Qi before you leave!" Königsberg shouted at Dido's back, hoping the other party would find a conscience and take back the Death Qi.
But even with such a loud shout, Dido acted as if she hadn't heard, continuing to walk away without stopping.
Seeing that Dido really intended to leave her, Königsberg struggled internally for a moment, then sighed, finally letting go of her pride and saying helplessly, "Fine! Fine! I'll say it, okay?"
Hearing Königsberg's surrender, Dido happily returned to her and said, "Wouldn't it have been better to do this earlier? Why waste everyone's time? Alright, say it! I'm listening."
"You are a sow!" Königsberg smiled and whispered.
"Hmph! I'll give you one more chance. If you try any more tricks, I'm really leaving and ignoring you. Quickly, say: 'I am a sow'." Dido's face was very grim, indicating that if she dared to play tricks again, she would really leave Königsberg behind.
"I am a sow!" Seeing Dido was truly angry, Königsberg had no choice but to say it in a small, humiliated voice.
Dammit! Dido, you little bitch, remember this! You'd better not fall into my hands, or I'll make you wish you were dead, Königsberg thought fiercely to herself.
Dido saw Königsberg looking at her with resentment; it was obvious she was badmouthing her internally! Fine! If you dare badmouth me, when I originally just wanted to teach you a lesson... since you are being unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!
"What did you say? Haven't you eaten? Sorry, you said it too quietly, like a mosquito. I didn't hear it! Please say it louder! Otherwise, I won't help you retract this Death Qi!" Dido said, shrugging her shoulders and spreading her hands.
These words made Königsberg explode with rage. She roared at Dido, who was playing deaf and dumb, "Cut the act! I know you heard me! Retract this damn Death Qi immediately, or else..."
"Or else what? Sigh! Since someone is being so uncooperative, then retract this Death Qi yourself! I'm leaving!" Dido made a move to leave again.
Seeing Dido use this trick again almost made Königsberg vomit blood. If I could retract it myself, would I ask you to do it? If I could, I would have done it long ago! She quickly stopped the departing Dido and said, "Don't go! I'm afraid of you! It's my fault, I was too quiet. I'll say it 'loudly' one more time, alright?"
In Königsberg's words, the word 'loudly' was heavily emphasized.
"That's more like it. It was clearly your fault, yet you wouldn't admit it. That's not what a good child should do. Since you've admitted your mistake, I'll be magnanimous and forgive you!" Dido put her hands on her hips, acting like she was doing her a favor after getting what she wanted.
"Then I really have to thank you!" Königsberg said to Dido through gritted teeth.
"No need to thank me! It's what I should do, after all, I'm a living Lei Feng of this century! Alright! Say it! Remember to shout it loudly: 'I am a sow', otherwise I won't be able to hear you again!" Dido kindly reminded Königsberg.
Königsberg was furious, but if the other party didn't take back the Death Qi, she really would die! She lowered her head, took a long, deep breath, then suddenly snapped her head up. With a flushed face, she roared at the sky, "I—AM—A—SOW!"
The sound shook the heavens and earth. Everyone on the island heard Königsberg's roar. Everyone's expressions were a bit strange. Was this a case of lifting a stone only to drop it on one's own foot?
They wanted to laugh but didn't dare. After all, laughing at an Epic Ship Girl was very offensive! They couldn't withstand the wrath of an Epic Ship Girl! But someone in the crowd laughed first, and eventually, everyone couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter.
You couldn't blame them! It was just too funny. For a girl to call herself a sow or whatever was truly hilarious. Everyone was laughing; you couldn't possibly kill them all! Even if you are an Epic Ship Girl, did you really think you could do whatever you wanted?
Illustrious clutched her stomach and laughed loudly, but when she looked up at Königsberg, she found the other girl glaring at her intensely.
If looks could kill, Illustrious would have died countless times!
Why glare at her? She wasn't the only one laughing. However, this Dido was truly not to be trifled with! She actually managed to make the proud Königsberg look so pathetic. In Illustrious's heart, Dido was definitely being added to the 'Must Not Provoke' list today.
Whoa! Still glaring! She'll stop laughing, okay! Illustrious had to stop her laughter and turn her head to look at the scenery instead of Königsberg. Whistling, she shouted in her heart: You can't see me, you can't see me, you can't see me...
