Dragon 3: Tide of the Black Moon (1)

"I've heard of some, but I don't know much. Sea maidens were girls who harvested pearls in ancient times, who could dive hundreds of meters deep without equipment and use knives to pry open large mussels to collect pearls." Sakura said, "Only girls can do this job because women have more subcutaneous fat than men and are more resistant to cold than men. If it was a male, the low temperature of the deep sea would make their joints develop deformities and cripple them in a few years."

"I heard that when the sea women dive they tie a rope around their waist and the other end of the rope is given to their relatives on board. If they are in danger at the bottom of the sea will pull the rope hard, relatives pull the rope back, may be able to save them, can not save can also recover their bodies. The rope can only be held in the hands of relatives because the sea maids only trust their relatives. But the husbands of the sea maidens say, if you get tired of your wife, take her to a distant sea to pick beads, and then just throw the rope in the water." Genchiyo said lightly, "So trust is the most unreliable thing in the world, isn't it?"

He took the headset Sakura handed over and put it on, "Field commander Genwakusei in position, Caesar team, are you ready?"

"You're late Gen-Kun, I don't like to waste my time waiting for people. After we finish this mission, we can still go to Tokyo for a snack if it's early, hurries up." Caesar's voice came over the headset.

"The time is 10:15 p.m., coordinates 122 degrees 56 minutes East 35 degrees 33 minutes North, Project Dragon Abyss is open, this is Field Commander Genchiyo, I order the release of the Diecast." Genchiyo said, "Good luck to you."

The diving dock at the bottom of the Sumeru opened, and the heavily loaded Diriast fell into the black sea, and white bubbles were visible from the bottom of the Sumeru, which was the air released from the Diecast. The frogmen dived into the sea and hooked the safety cable to the safety hook on top of the Diecast, the other end of which was connected to the wheel on top of the Sumeru. This huge wheel is wrapped with a 12-kilometer-long safety cable, a metal safety cable that is resistant to bending and abrasion and can lift five Diriastas, and the Equipment Department's special recovery system can recover the deep submersible from the bottom of the polar abyss to the surface in 20 minutes.

The frogmen surfaced and gave a thumbs up to Gensokyo at the top of the Sumeru, signaling the successful completion of the rigging of the safety ropes. The wheel began to turn, which indicated that the Diecast was bursting toward the bottom of the sea step by step.

Sakura understood why Genchiyo suddenly talked about the pearl-picking sea maiden.

Genchiyo took off one side of the headset and dialed, "The deep submersible is in the water, tell Erika to get ready, they will arrive at the Divine Burial Ground in 80 minutes."

"Hard work, Teruyukihime has hacked into the US and Russian military satellite system, no satellite can take pictures of the nearby sea tonight." Orange Masamune on the other end of the line said, "Make a big show of it! Wakayoi, the history of the Serpentine Eight will be rewritten because of you and me."

"How is Eriki's condition? Can her body handle it?"

"It doesn't matter if she's in good shape or not, everything will only be cut down when her sword points." Orange Masamune paused, "She is our ...... moon reading life ah!"

The little yellow duck floated in a pool full of foam. It was a huge square bronze bathtub, as luxurious as the equipment used by the emperors of ancient Rome, and soft light was cast from the top of the bathroom onto the girl's bright, clear skin. She poked the little yellow duck into the water one by one with her fingers, watched it float again, sometimes blowing on it to blow it far away, and then hooked it back with her foot out of the foam. The Uesugi family head has been taking a bath for an hour, most of which was spent playing games with the little yellow duck. Judging from her bubble-covered body, she is normally developed and has a nice figure, but a grown-up girl like her obviously shouldn't be interested in rubber ducks; her mental age seems to be stuck at the level of a young girl.

Outside came the sound of footsteps, then the cough of Orange Masamune: "Erika, stop playing, hurry up and get dressed to go."

No one answered, Orange Masamune waited for half a minute and saw the writing appear on the glass door, "Got it."

The glass in the bathroom is a single-sided woolen glass, and the Uesugi householder dipped it in water to write it would appear transparent. After writing, she turned around and left, and from that transparent handwriting, Orange Masamune could vaguely see an evocative back.
