1Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Depth Date. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own Azur Lane, Shanghai Manjuu, Ximen Yongshi and a few others do.
Warden wasn't used to seeing so many vessels. He was unsure if even his power, which had bested one of the strongest warriors within the enemy faction. He did have help of course, he looked at A who was sitting within a net of her tendrils acting like a chair.
He still wondered about something. Arbiter hadn't managed to unlock the blood of a Siren within him, A did.
He questioned if that meant anything, but turned back to his surveillance on the enemy. He didn't see G or T who were the commanders of the drones and the few Sirens who had been supposedly mass produced into the faction.
"All this recording and yet no sign of our main target? This becomes tedious the more I see no sign of this war being ended by anything short of bloodshed." Warden stated to himself more then he did to A.
"Yes, well, I don't believe we will be seeing G and T much continuing their assault much in this area. They would be destroyed and not even both of them can take on the entire world and live to tell the story." A leaned forward till she was towering over Warden who hummed with amusement.
"Yes, well, I don't see them being very thankful I helped their assault fail so much. I honestly can't believe I managed to ward them off. I'm either stronger than I look, she couldn't defeat both of us… or she underestimated us and was forced to back off because she ran out of time for her plans to come to fruition." Warden concluded.
His reasoning wasn't far off, it didn't seem like he had been able to see all T could bring to the battle. She needed just one slash to turn the battle field into a shredder.
He wondered if such power was available to him or if it was unique to her and only her. he waved away such questions, he had plenty of power and he didn't seek the power T possessed.
"You like to think a lot of the time, don't you?" A floated down till she was pretty much resting inside the waters around their feet.
"I believe taking the time to think costs nothing and can be a good move if it's worth it." Warden pointed out as he crossed his arms.
He had no idea what A was thinking, he didn't believe it was important that he know anyway. he was dealing with the two strongest maidens in the army besides A, Arbiter and a few others.
Warden had no clue how to bring down such a warrior if they could be brought down anyway. They had a fleet, they had years if not centuries of honing their powers, he was just someone who happened to have 2 forms with one containing massive power.
A didn't say anything but simply prepared her canons. This caused Warden to stop her.
He didn't respect the fleet, he actively wished for their destruction as that was his purpose… but A risked the entire fleet of drones finding them.
"I don't even know if I can try and take out a fleet that big. I wouldn't even be able to get a volley off before they fired. why would you ready your guns if you can't stop them either?" He asked A as he used his tendrils to push her back while she chuckled in amusement.
This caused A to smirk at Warden who blinked and then tapped her gently on the head like she was a child.
This caused a giggle from the girl which caused Warden to turn back to the fleet of droids.
"I think we're done here anyway; I can't seem to spot anything more than the drones and that many drones will be a problem. I doubt it's impossible to take them out." Warden saw A latch onto him. he sighed and used his tendrils to try and keep some distance from A.
"You keep hating my hugs, but I don't see you denying them like you know you can do. I think part of you enjoys them and the other part of you is just shy and insecure about themselves." A pointed out.
Warden said nothing. He patted her again and went to try and send the data back to command.
He might not know about the drones or their purpose. I did know they were enemies to be recorded and defeated. This did nothing to try and deal with the fact that he was still out of his league at the moment to try and challenge so many enemies.
He didn't even notice A hanging onto his arm till he sighed with annoyance with confusion and then gently passed her head.
Warden didn't know his bond with her had changed. He didn't know what to say to A.
Author notes
Phew, another chapter done! I want to point out I thought I had much reason behind this as I thought. Next chapter is going to be on Friday or such next week and will show more of A and Warden bonding. Arbiter trying to get Warden on her side. Until then, Lighting Wolf out.
Ps: I have a few more anime stories and a massive effect one soon.
