"This is Sidonia..."

"It's not quite what we imagined..."

Walking on the narrow streets, looking at Sidonia in front of them, the girls couldn't help but sigh.

That’s right, these girls who appeared inside the Sidonia colony ship were none other than the little girls around Fang Zheng.

Xing Baixian, who was walking in front of them and acting as a "tour guide", was covered in cold sweat and didn't know what to say.

That’s right, strictly speaking, these little girls and Fang Zheng were actually “smuggled” onto the ship.

They were quickly teleported to the Rem galaxy, and then came to the top of the Sidonia battleship. Then Lala had nothing to do and wanted to see what the inside of the battleship looked like, so Fang Zheng simply waved his hand and teleported everyone over.

And Sidonia doesn't even know anything about this!

Strictly speaking, it was against the rules to board someone else's warship like this, but Fang Zheng didn't care. In his words, he could go wherever he wanted, come when he wanted, and leave when he wanted, and no one could stop him...

So Xing Baixian had no choice but to be captured and serve as a guide.

At first, Xing Baixian was worried that with so many strangers, he would be caught and questioned by Sidonia's guards. After all, although the girls of the Azure Fleet also wore space suits, their space suits were completely different from Sidonia's, and their appearance was also different. In addition, there were Lala, Nana, Mengmeng, Xiao An... Kiana, Raiden Mei, Bronya... Shinjo Akane, Takarada Rikka... Even Kotegawa Yui and the others came with them, so there were dozens of people in total. With so many people walking together, and they were all beautiful girls, it would be hard not to attract other people's attention.

As a result... they actually didn't attract anyone's attention!

Although they met many people along the way, those people didn't even look at them, as if they didn't exist.

Xing Baixian was quite surprised by this and didn't know what was going on. In the end, the Herrscher of Consciousness proudly told her that he had manipulated the consciousness of the people around him and simply ignored them... Although she didn't know how the Herrscher of Consciousness did it, this alone was enough to amaze Xing Baixian.

However, Xing Baixian was a little embarrassed to show everyone around Sidonia. She had also lived on the Azure Fleet for several days, and had a deeper understanding of both sides. It could be said that the gap between the two sides was simply a world of difference. If the Azure Fleet's warships were at the level of a five-star hotel, then Sidonia was just a century-old store... and it was the kind that was on the verge of bankruptcy due to poor management.

Unlike the warships of the Blue Fleet, the interior of Sidonia is a hollow cylindrical space, and in the center stands a cylinder and buildings on it, which are connected to the surrounding walls through pipes. Various houses are also built on the walls. Of course, these houses are small, old and dilapidated, and even the ground and walls are rusty, making them look like they have been in disrepair for a long time.

Not only that, compared with the blue battleship whose interior decoration is as luxurious as a palace, the interior of Sidonia can be said to be a bare house - let alone fine decoration, even the wallpaper is not even painted with just one layer of paint.

This also made Xing Baixian feel a little embarrassed, as if he was taking a rich lady to visit the slums.

"Ah, Xingbai! Xingbai!"

At this moment, Lala seemed to have discovered something and pointed excitedly to a door next to the passage.

"What is that?"

As she spoke, Lala ran over excitedly. Xing Baixian was stunned for a moment when he heard Lala's question, and then he looked at the sign of [Women's Photosynthesis Laboratory] above, and his face suddenly changed.

“Wait, Miss Lala, that’s…!!”

However, before Xing Baixian could finish his words, Lala opened the door with a swish, and then - a group of naked girls changing clothes appeared in front of everyone.

"Why?"

Seeing this scene, Lala was stunned for a moment, and then was pulled back by Fang Zheng.

"Don't run around, stay here!"

Fang Zheng stretched out his hand, grabbed Lala's collar and pulled her back like a kitten. At the same time, he quickly took a photo inside and then quickly closed the door. Fortunately, because of the manipulation of the consciousness of the Herrscher of Knowledge, the people inside did not realize what had happened at all.

"Hey, hey, I'm sorry, Darling."

Hearing Fang Zheng's scolding, Lala apologized with an embarrassed smile, and then she looked at Xing Baixian again.

"Xingbai Xingbai, is that a place? A gymnasium? Or a swimming pool?"

"Oh, no, that's... the photosynthesis chamber..."

"Photosynthesis chamber???"

"Um……"

Being stared at by Lala's clear and curious eyes, Xing Baixian felt a little embarrassed, but he still quickly introduced himself.

"Because of our genetic modification, we need to obtain nutrition through photosynthesis, so we will take off our clothes inside, that... to receive light..."

"Ah... So this is how photosynthesis works."

Hearing this, Tesla suddenly realized that she had always been curious about how Sidonia's crew obtained nutrition through photosynthesis, and now she understood.

However, there are only a few who care about academics like Tesla, and other girls care about...

"Ah, so sunbathing, right? It's similar to sunbathing on the beach?"

"But we can't eat by basking in the sun."

"That's right, and we also have to worry about getting tanned and apply sunscreen... Come on, Miss Xingbai, aren't you afraid of getting tanned?"

"Why???"

Faced with questions from Yui Kotegawa, Haruna Sairenji and others, Hoshibaku was confused.

What the hell is tanning?

"Well...we haven't had a tan..."

"Really? Photosynthesis has this benefit?!"

Upon hearing this, Takanari Rika's eyes suddenly lit up. As a girl, it was such a waste of time to apply sunscreen every time she went to places like the beach!

"I think a little tan is nice."

But Meiya Kurosaki obviously had a different opinion.

"Wheat color is also sexy."

While speaking, Mei Kurosaki also transformed herself on the spot to show the sexy charm of her wheat-colored skin.

"But if I can avoid getting a tan, I think it would be more convenient."

Sairenji Haruna disagrees a bit, saying that the sun in Japan is also very strong, and you always need to prepare a lot of sunscreen when you go out. Besides, Sairenji Haruna is not the kind of 101 hot girl who likes to dress up. She doesn't care whether wheat-colored skin is sexy or not. On the contrary, it would be great if she could have the ability to not get tanned even if she is in the sun, and even get nutrition from it!

But for Xing Baixian, who has lived in Sidonia since birth, this kind of trouble has no room for imagination.

"Ignore them. They are both idle."

Fang Zheng decisively interrupted this meaningless conversation. Although it is common for tour groups to go off topic, it should not affect the tour group's itinerary, right? It's good enough that I didn't take you to a private store to get ripped off.

"Well, let's continue... Next is..."

Just when Xing Baixian was about to lead everyone forward, suddenly, a noise was heard not far away.

"Drop your weapons!"

“The military should lift martial law immediately!”

Hearing the noise, the girls looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of people holding signs and protesting next to a building not far away.

"What is that?"

“That was a non-militant protest.”

"Non-militant?"

"Well, they believe that the reason why Sidonia was attacked by the Qijuzi was because of the Ying that could destroy the Qijuzi. So they have been advocating to abandon these weapons, and believe that this way the Qijuzi will not attack Sidonia."

"Eh? There is such a thing?"

Kiana was shocked to hear this.

"But what if the Qijuzi still attacks them after they throw away their weapons?"

"This... I don't know."

Xing Baixian also shook his head helplessly, while Fang Zheng chuckled.

"It's useless to say this. In fact, weren't humans wiped out by the Qijuzi on Earth?"

"They think it's all lies... just to maintain the military's power in Sidonia..."

"It's not surprising. After a long time, there will be all kinds of idiots."

Fang Zheng didn't care at all.

"Okay, let's get on with it... Is there anything fun???"

"Ah, yes, there is such a thing!"

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Xing Baixian's eyes lit up and he nodded vigorously.

Then, Xing Baixian took everyone to the bow of Sidonia - this is an artificial sea, but strictly speaking it is not a sea, because there is no beach or green space. There is only seawater filling the enclosed space and the fish in it. According to Xing Baixian, this is the most famous "scenic spot" in Sidonia.

To put it simply, people take a fully transparent elevator, enter the water tank, and then take a sea tour and fish watching. Of course, for Sidonia's crew, not everyone is qualified. Only licensed senior operators and people with military ranks can enter. It is not open to ordinary people.

Of course, this was of no use to Fang Zheng. They just hacked into the personal terminal and unlocked it. Then everyone happily took the underwater elevator for a tour.

Xing Baixian had nothing to say about this. She had long regarded Sidonia as her own backyard, and she couldn't stop it even if she wanted to. Besides, she was born in Sidonia after all, so she had a bit of a comparison mentality. Sidonia couldn't compare to the Azure Fleet in other places, and only this underwater aquarium was still something she could show off.

This place is indeed interesting and everyone had a lot of fun. After taking a tour in the underwater elevator, everyone was very satisfied.

"Well, it's almost time for us to get down to business."

Seeing that everyone had had enough fun, Fang Zheng also opened his personal terminal and connected to Sidonia's network. Of course, they came here not just for a day trip to Sidonia.

"Let's see where the captain is..."

“…”

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Xing Baixian, who was staring at his personal terminal, couldn't help but get a little nervous. Another purpose of their coming to Sidonia this time was to confirm how many people were controlled by the strange bugs like Xing Baixian. The previous tour was also a kind of reconnaissance. Fortunately, according to the scans that Fang Zheng had taken along the way, most of the crew members in Sidonia were normal.

This also made Xing Baixian feel relieved. At least not everyone was manipulated. Otherwise, she really didn't know what to do.

However... there was no trace of the captain in Sidonia's system, or rather, her trace was blocked.

"Oh huh? This is interesting."

Seeing this, Fang Zheng chuckled, and Xing Baixian suddenly became nervous.

"What can I do?"

"Don't worry, isn't this just right?"

As he spoke, Fang Zheng opened his personal terminal again.

"Since she doesn't want to be discovered, then it means she must be doing something that cannot be seen by others. Since it is something that cannot be seen by others, then we naturally have to take a good look at it."
