Elder brother's garrison

"Just now on the ship outside, Miss Naige, you seemed to have expressed some opinions about me to Xiaobai, right?" Lexington asked with a smile.

"...Huh?" President Er Gou was taken aback.

“And just now, Miss Naige seemed to have told me that she's the one Xiaobai likes the most… right?” Lexington maintained her smile, tilting her head slightly. “Besides that, if I remember correctly, Miss Naige also seemed to have made several sarcastic remarks about me in private… and we haven’t settled those scores yet…”

"???" Guild Master Er Gou was stunned. "Wait a minute, didn't you say that was all in the past? And haven't we become good friends already?!"

“That’s right… if Miss Naka had agreed to my request before, I would have indeed wiped the slate clean and would have been extremely grateful to Miss Naka…” Lexington said, shaking his head as if regretfully, “But since Miss Naka herself is unwilling, then so be it…”

"Holy crap! You! What are you going to do?!"

"There's nothing I can do... but Miss Naige, do you remember the cup of tea I poured for you just now?"

"???" Guild Master Er Gou exclaimed in surprise, "You, you didn't really poison me, did you?!"

“Miss Naige is overthinking it. After all, I’m not some kind of demon. You are Xiaobai’s favorite president, so naturally I wouldn’t do anything to hurt you.” Lexington emphasized and repeated what President Er Gou had just said in a show of force. “However… I hope you can understand my little prank.”

"Huh? A prank??"

"I wonder if Miss Naige has ever heard of the term 'laxative'?" Lexington looked at Chairman Er Gou with a smile. "The restrooms in our naval base are located in the corners of the corridors on each floor... I would be honored if Miss Naige could take a look."

President Er Gou had a look of horror on her face, as if she had been tricked. She quickly withdrew her hand from Lexington's and clutched her stomach as if she had sensed something.

"Lexington, you! You! You..."

"Although it will be a while before the drug takes effect, I still hope that Miss Naige will be prepared in advance." Lexington took out a roll of toilet paper from her ship equipment space and handed it to President Er Gou with a big smile on her face. "After all, it would be bad if she had diarrhea all the time."

"You...you...you...you!!" Guild Master Er Gou trembled as he stared at Lexington's smile, a mixture of fear and hatred gnashing his teeth. "You damned woman...you haven't changed a bit in ten years...you! You demon...ahh ...

Chairman Er Gou, in a fit of impotent rage, snatched the toilet paper from Lexington's hand with a snap, stormed out of the admiral's office, and disappeared into the distance amidst a series of thumping footsteps.

Lexington smiled as she watched President Er Gou leave the office. She lowered her head, sat back down at her secretary's desk, and looked up at the spot where President Er Gou had stood.

Lexington silently watched the spot where Chairman Er Gou had been standing.

For a while.

His expression changed from a smile to a sigh, and then to sadness.

"...She's really...a remarkable woman."

Lexington spoke softly, shook her head, and finally a helpless smile appeared on her face.

Lexington picked up the tea that Chairman Er Gou had left on the table and took a small sip.

"Phew—" Lexington glanced at Reputation with a sense of satisfaction.

"You want to drink tea with laxatives?" Reputation asked Lexington with a smile.

“…Ah, is that what you mean?” Lexington raised his teacup, sticking out his tongue and chuckling. “Of course I was just kidding her. Why would I put something like that in my own teapot?”

"Miss Naige, she..."

"After she's been sitting in the toilet for an hour or two, she'll probably realize she's been tricked..."

"……"prestige.

After saying goodbye to the admiral's office, Shiro first asked Missouri to take the other ship girls home, and then took the key and led Ooi Kitakami and Zara Pompeii into the dormitory building.

Ooi and Kitakami are veteran ship girls from the newbie naval base. On the way, Shiro briefly explained the recent changes at the naval base to these two ship girls. After listening carefully, they were satisfied and took Shiro's key back to their own homes.

Zara and Pompeii are Xiaobai's new ship girls. Xiaobai first spent some time introducing them to the scale of the naval base, and then led them into the dormitory building where there were still empty rooms.

As they walked, Xiaobai kept explaining the ecological environment of the newbie garrison to Zara and Pompeii.

"...In short, this is about the size of our naval base. Actually, there used to be a small amusement park here a few months ago, but it was closed down due to some safety concerns. Even the ship girls' shop isn't very big anymore." Xiaobai walked up the stairs and smiled at Zara and Pompeii behind her. "If you want some daily necessities, you can go to Yixian in the dormitory building over there. She's in charge of the dorms. If you like embroidery, she can also teach you."

"Oh……"

"Also, since this place is quite far from the city center, online shopping is generally recommended. If you have something you really need to buy, you can tell me and I'll find someone to help you get it in advance."

"Oh……"

“The naval base doesn’t have a fixed schedule, so life might be a bit boring, but there’s nothing we can do about it… after all, it’s so far from the city center,” Xiaobai said apologetically. “But we occasionally organize some entertainment activities for the ship girls. If you also want to open a shop or something, you can submit an application at the office.”

"Oh……"

“Some ship girls prefer to go to the city to play, and we won’t refuse that. But as long as you leave the naval base, you must report to me no matter what.” Xiaobai turned her head and solemnly said to Zara and Pompeii, “Our naval base is actually very leisurely, but this is the only rule that is ironclad.”

"Ming, do you understand?" Zara and Pompeii exchanged a glance and nodded in strange tones.

"...Hmm?" Xiaobai stopped in her tracks, looking at Zara and Pompeii. "Zara, Pompeii? Your reactions have been strange from the beginning. Is there something wrong?"

Zara and Pompeii were taken aback, and looked at Xiaobai with embarrassment.

"No, no... uh, it's just..."

"Just what?"

"Um..." Pompeii scratched his head, looking curious, "Admiral..."

"Ah."

“Um…you just told us so much, like the life of ship girls, the entertainment in the naval base, and the salary and benefits…” Pompeii asked curiously, “…you talked about so much, but you didn’t seem to mention what kind of work we’ll be doing in the naval base.”

"Huh? Work?" Xiaobai was taken aback.

"Um……"

"Uh..." Xiaobai lowered her head and thought for a while. She pursed her lips and looked at Pompeii nervously. "As for work... well, occasionally the naval base will send some ship girls on expeditions, so each ship girl has to go out every few months. And when the naval base goes to the expedition area, it will also bring some ship girls with it depending on the situation..."

“Mmm, and then?” Zara and Pompeii nodded.

"And then that was it."

"...Huh? That's it?"

"That's all." Xiaobai nodded.

"That's it?!" Pompeii exclaimed in surprise.

"Yeah..." Xiaobai scratched his head sheepishly, "That's all."

"But...but Admiral Xiaobai, don't you offer us a lot of salary?"

"...That's the average level of a naval base."

"..." Zara Pompeii stared blankly at Xiaobai, "Is this the treatment all military ship girls receive nowadays?"

"I don't know about other naval bases, but our naval base is like this."

"..." Zara and Pompeii exchanged another glance, both noticing the strange look in each other's eyes.

"Admiral, um, we have another question for you."

"Okay, go ahead and ask."

"Our garrison... could it be that we're actually quite powerful?" Pompeii asked.

"...Is it amazing or not...? Um, didn't I already say that?" Xiaobai scratched his head.

“You didn’t say that,” Pompeii said. “Besides, generally speaking, a naval base that’s so poor that the admiral has to personally take on civilian projects and travel on business can’t be very powerful, right?”

"...I'm so sorry I had to go on this business trip myself..." Xiaobai lowered her head awkwardly, rubbed her nose, and cleared her throat. "Ahem... Well, it's like this, Zara and Pompeii, you probably haven't been in contact with the military ship girl community, so you might not know... Actually..."

"Actually?"

"The issue with our naval base isn't whether it's powerful or not."

"...??"

"Our newbie naval base is the world's number one naval base!" Xiaobai said with an embarrassed smile.

It's like a primary school student saying that they accidentally got a perfect score on the exam again.

“… Zara and Pompeii.”

Zhang Tui

Master, I Don't Want to Be a Gigolo Anymore

He transmigrated to a high-martial arts world in a certain year and month.

I met a beautiful female master.

I know all too well that time travel is risky, and that it's wise to cling to powerful figures. My dream for the future is to roam the world with a sword and dominate the martial arts world. But alas, before this small dream could even begin to come true, my master kicked the self-proclaimed number one martial arts master to the ground.

So I dreamed of finding my own immortal partner when I first entered the martial arts world, but my senior sisters were too beautiful and nipped my little budding dream in the bud.

Then I dreamed of abandoning martial arts and going into business again, but my beautiful master told me that the sect had accumulated enough wealth in recent years to buy a country.

Get away from me, you damn money, this isn't the life I want!

……

...It smells so good!

Chapter 1387 Were you serious about taking that small step back?

Xiao Bai then remembered.

It seems that ever since I met Zara and Pompeii in the small fishing village, until I brought them back to the naval base, I have never formally introduced my naval base ranking to these two ship girls.

Even now, apart from their own naval base being called the "Newbie Naval Base," Zara and Pompeii's understanding of Shiro's naval base is limited to a vague notion that it is "potentially very powerful."

"Although I'm introducing it a bit late, our naval base is the world's number one naval base, which is pretty impressive," Xiaobai said with a smile to Zara and Pompeii.

“…Huh?” Zara and Liu Ling’er stared wide-eyed. “Number one in the world?”

"Mm." Xiaobai nodded.

“…” Zara and Pompeii stared blankly at Xiaobai’s matter-of-fact expression.

To be honest, when Zara and Pompeii walked into the newbie naval base and saw so many ship girls vying to greet them, and listened to the newbie introduce the scale and business of the naval base, they did have a vague feeling that "this naval base might be something special".

But when Xiaobai actually told Zara and Pompeii that he was the world's number one garrison, Zara and Pompeii not only didn't feel the relief of their expectations coming true, but they also felt a strange sense of unreality.

After all, Zara and Pompeii met Shiro next to a very small fishing village. At that time, Shiro and the ship girls were just admirals who were brought to the small fishing village by Kyouka's luck.

You're saying that even the most capable civilian commissioner can only be commissioned by a certain admiral.

The true Grand Admirals are so powerful that, aside from how busy they are normally, if they suddenly wanted to make money one day, they could easily earn an unimaginable amount of money by simply moving their fingers to exchange for a few high-quality deep-sea metals in the warehouse. Therefore, they would never spend their time taking on ordinary civilian commissions.

So when Zara and Pompeii first met Xiaobai in the small fishing village, they really had no idea that Xiaobai would be such a powerful admiral. Even when Xiaobai showed them the strength of the naval base several times later, because their first impression was already so strong, Zara and Pompeii still held onto their opinion.

It's like meeting a stranger in a slum; even if that person occasionally reveals a decent family background, you would never associate them with a wealthy and powerful person.

But who would have thought that this ordinary person from the slums would become not only a super-rich man, but also one of the world's richest people?

This is really too strange, isn't it?

Are all the world's number one players these days so unserious?

Hey, wait?

Now that you mention it, does that mean... I've actually hooked up with a rich woman?

Zara and Pompeii were in a daze, their hearts filled with a mix of emotions.

"Zara? Pompeii? What's wrong with you? You all look strange."

"...Uh, no, it's nothing..."

"The world is really... small."

Pompeii and Zara answered in a daze.

Xiaobai underestimated the impact of the phrase "world's number one" on the ship girls who had been isolated for a long time.

"Uh... I see." Xiaobai, holding onto the railing, scratched his cheek a little embarrassedly. "Actually, I should have told you sooner... But it's okay, the world's number one admiral is still an admiral, you'll get used to it."

After Xiaobai finished speaking, he turned around and continued walking up the stairs.

"Let's continue talking about the naval base's dormitories. Because we have quite a lot of personnel, we expanded the base a while ago—oh, right, the amusement park I mentioned earlier was built then. But I didn't expect that just a few months later, the expanded dormitory building would be completely insufficient. So this building is currently the only one with vacant rooms." Xiaobai said, somewhat apologetically, "Well, if you want to choose your preferred rooms, you'll probably have to wait until after this expansion."

“…Oh…Oh oh.” Zara and Pompeii were still thinking about being number one in the world, their heads were spinning, and they only knew to follow Xiaobai’s steps forward.

Little White led Zara and Pompeii up the stairs.

"Okay, we're here." Xiaobai turned around. "The empty floors in this building are just ahead. On these floors you can—whoosh!!"

Sudden.

Before Xiaobai could finish speaking...

A pair of hands suddenly reached out from the other side of the stairs and hugged Xiaobai around the waist as he walked up.
