Elder brother's garrison

"Thank you, Yamato-neechan!" Shiro got off the bed and walked up to the maid Connor, who was tied up.

"Hmm...hmm...hmm!" Deep Sea Yamato, who knows where he learned the rope-tying technique, used ropes to tightly bind Connor's limbs and torso through her maid outfit, restricting Connor's movements to the point of exhaustion. Even the tape over her mouth was tightly sealed, allowing Connor to only make the bare minimum of twisting and emitting the bare minimum of "hmm" sounds.

"Loki!" Deep Sea Dragon Rising followed Whitey down the mountain. She ran to the maid Connor, helped her up from the ground, and then looked anxiously at the knots binding Connor's body. "Are you...are you alright? These ropes...the ropes are..."

It seemed that Deep Sea Dragon wanted to untie the ropes, but faced with the master-level skill of Tortoise Shell Binding, she was at a loss.

“I advise you not to untie her ropes so easily. She struggled so hard just now, and she might run away again if you untie her.” Yamato Shinkai found a chair, sat down, and said to Ryujo Shinkai, “Didn’t you see that she ran away without saying a word when you were talking to her just now?”

“Uh…uh…” Deep Sea Dragon’s hand, which was gripping the knots binding Connor, trembled. She looked at Connor, “But…but…”

The Deep Sea Dragon's eyes were filled with incomprehension and confusion.

After meeting Shenhai Longxiang's gaze for a moment, the maid Connor gradually calmed down for some reason. She lowered her head and stopped looking at Shenhai Longxiang, but she also stopped struggling and groaning.

Little White squatted down in front of the maid Connor.

"Uh... well... how should I put it..." Xiaobai scratched his cheek, somewhat embarrassed, and said to Connor, "Miss Connor... I'm so sorry... I'll apologize to you formally later."

Done.

Xiao Bai reached out and touched the maid Connor's forehead.

The Admiral's Network spread out the moment it touched Connor's forehead, enveloping his body.

The moment Xiaobai's admiral network invaded her body, Connor's body stiffened instantly. She looked up at Xiaobai, her eyes filled with surprise and disbelief.

Xiaobai's admiral network seeped into Connor's body through his skin. After a brief inspection, it quickly retreated, not daring to offend Connor's body again, and returned to Xiaobai's body.

Xiao Bai lowered his hand and stared blankly at Connor.

--really.

The maid Connor before us is indeed a Deepsea Abyssal Vessel—or rather, a Deepsea Dean.

"Huh...why..." Xiaobai murmured in surprise.

Is the maid Connor the Dean of the Deep Sea?

She's the Dean of the Deep Sea? The missing "friend" that Deep Sea Dragon Ryujo mentioned he had been searching for for a long time, only to eventually give up hope?

This……

In an instant, several questions popped into Xiaobai's mind.

Among them are Miss Connor's background, Miss Connor's current situation... but the most pressing question is, how did Miss Connor manage to conceal the deep-sea aura within her?

That's right.

The reason why Xiaobai never doubted Connor's identity during their first meeting and the subsequent time they spent together was because Xiaobai did not sense any deep-sea aura from Connor.

Shielding the aura of the deep sea... isn't that something only a newbie naval base with advanced technology can do?

What happened to Miss Connor...?

"Loki..." The call of the Deep Sea Dragon rang in Xiaobai's ears.

Xiao Bai turned its head to look at the Deep Sea Dragon and nodded slightly.

Correct.

It should be Miss Loki, not Miss Connor.

It was also during our first meeting.

Miss Connor once told Xiaobai that it was inconvenient to reveal her name, but after Xiaobai insisted on having at least one convenient name to call her, Miss Connor allowed Xiaobai to call her that.

Connor is indeed not her name.

The "Loki" mentioned by the Deep Sea Dragon is her real name.

Loki...

Xiao Bai looked at the maid who was tied up in front of him and fell into deep thought.

Whether it's the Dean of the Deep Sea or the ship girls, they mostly refer to themselves by their ship names. Xiaobai doesn't know much about ships, but... which ship is this Loki? It doesn't seem like an ordinary ship name.

As Xiaobai was thinking, his gaze met Loki's.

“…Ah.” Little White then remembered that Loki was tied up, and she quickly called out to Yamato behind her, “Yamato-neechan, please untie Connor…Miss Loki.”

"So fast?" Deep Sea Yamato walked up, squatted down next to Little White, and stared at Loki with a suspicious look. "Little White... let me tell you first, although she hasn't released her ship equipment, her strength is no less than that of the other Deep Sea Deans. It's tiring to catch her once. If she runs away again after being untied, I won't be responsible for catching her again for you."

"Yes, I know, thank you, Yamato-neechan." Shiro nodded with a smile.

Yamato then approached Loki from behind and began to untie him.

It would take a while to untie the tortoise shell (censored). While Yamato was being untied, Little White quietly looked at Loki, who was sitting in front of her without saying a word, and smiled at her.

“Connor… or Miss Loki, that’s how I should address you now, right?” Little White said.

"..."

“Well… anyway… although I don’t know what happened just now, Miss Loki, you were avoiding me and Deep Sea Dragon Rising because you didn’t want us to discover your identity as the Deep Sea Dean, right?” Little White said to Loki, a hint of apology flashing in his eyes. “Well… I’m a little sorry, but during our interaction just now, I already know your identity, Miss Loki… Miss Loki, there’s no use in you running away anymore.”

"..."

Loki frowned, but she didn't react.

"It's untied!" At that moment, Yamato untied the ropes binding Loki. As she put the ropes into her ship equipment space, she intentionally or unintentionally moved closer to the door to prevent Loki from escaping again.

Loki did not run away again.

Little White reached out and touched the tape over Loki's mouth.

Loki turned his head away, dodging Little White's hand.

The Deep Sea Dragon leaned forward and reached out towards Loki's face.

This time, Loki didn't dodge, letting Deepsea Dragon tear the tape off his face.

"call……"

Loki's mouth was freed, and she touched her lips, letting out a small sigh of relief.

"Loki, are you alright?" Deep Sea Dragon asked Loki, holding the torn-off duct tape. "Does it hurt?"

Loki touched her face, which was covered in tape, and quietly looked at Deep Sea Dragon's worried expression, a trace of sadness and apology flashing in her eyes.

"……Feel sorry."

Seeing Loki's apologetic expression, Deepsea Ryujo's face quickly lit up with surprise. She pounced on Loki and hugged him tightly around the waist.

"It really is you! Loki! You...you were alright!" Deep Sea Dragon Rising laughed happily. "It's so good that you're alright! It's really so good!"

Loki looked at the Deep Sea Dragon, who was nestled in his arms, with some weariness, then looked up at Little White.

"...So, guest, are you going to kill me?"

Loki asked Whitey expressionlessly.

"Huh?" Little White was taken aback. Looking at Loki's expressionless face, she scratched her head a little embarrassedly. "Uh... well... maybe our actions just now caused you a little misunderstanding, Miss Loki... Actually, we didn't mean any harm, um... we won't hurt you, don't worry."

“…” A hint of surprise flashed in Loki’s eyes.

“After all, Miss Loki, you’ve taken good care of us…” Little White smiled at Loki. “You’ve been helping us ever since we entered Ella’s house, haven’t you? Although I’m a little surprised that I only just discovered your identity, Miss Loki, I haven’t forgotten how you helped us before.”

“...It’s just...an obligation.” Loki lowered his head and said softly.

“However… although we won’t hurt you, Miss Loki.” Xiaobai clutched his chest, moved closer to Loki, and said with a serious expression, “But to be honest, Miss Loki, your presence here is indeed a rather serious matter… In short, as the admiral, now that I’ve discovered you, I can’t just ignore it as if I didn’t see it… Anyway, may I ask you a few questions?”

“…” Loki looked at Little White’s gaze, thought for a moment, and nodded.

"Thank you for your cooperation!"

Little White nodded, then moved closer to Loki and asked him the question that had been on his mind.

"Um... although the question is a bit much, the first question is still... Miss Loki, how do you conceal your deep-sea aura?"

Steamed Egg Custard

Chapter 1528 Loki's Apology

There are still many mysteries surrounding Loki, but for Xiaobai, the most important thing right now is to figure out how Loki hides his deep-sea aura.

This is actually a rather serious issue.

The reason why the newbie naval base can make equipment that shields against deep-sea aura is mainly because the main materials for deep-sea aura shielding devices—the ship equipment fragments of Sukhbaatar and Odin—can only be obtained from the newbie naval base.

This is precisely why the Abyssal Aura Shielding Device of the Naval Base has such strong concealment capabilities, allowing Abyssal Yamato and the others to live freely in the human world as "ship girls" thanks to it.

If other naval bases or other organizations also acquire similar technology to the newbie naval base, it means that the stealth of the deep-sea aura shielding device will be gone forever. The freedom of the deep-sea Yamato, deep-sea Musashi, Pachina, and the hundreds of hungry deep-sea creatures in the newbie naval base in human society will also be shattered.

This is really not good news for Xiaobai.

Therefore, in order to confirm the current situation, Xiaobai asked Loki about this so urgently.

"...How do you conceal your deep-sea aura...?" Loki repeated Whitey's question in a low voice.

"Yes! This is a very important question to me." Little White nodded, patting his chest, and said, "I hope Miss Loki can tell me!"

Whitey stared intently at Loki, his eyes gleaming with a thirst for knowledge and an eagerness to learn.

"..."

Loki and Whitey stared at each other for a moment, then Loki looked away from Whitey and focused her gaze on Deep Sea Yamato and Deep Sea Ryujo.

Deepsea Yamato and Deepsea Ryujo were also watching Loki with curiosity.

Loki lowered his head, lost in quiet thought.

Little White didn't pressure Loki, but let Loki think it over on his own.

After a while.

Loki, seemingly having come to a conclusion, sighed softly. She silently raised her arm and gently pulled up her sleeve, revealing her slender, snow-white left wrist to everyone.

Right under the watchful eyes of Xiaobai and the others.

On Loki's exposed left wrist was a rough, white steel "bracelet".

Rather than calling it a bracelet, it's more accurate to describe Loki's wrist as a steel wire twisted into the shape of a bracelet.

The steel wire was twisted into the shape of a bracelet and tightly fastened to Loki's wrist. Because it was completely undecorated and unadorned, and had not been finely processed or polished, the rough bracelet was not beautiful at all, and could even be described as ugly. It looked out of place with Loki's slender, snow-white wrist.

“Miss Loki… what is this?” Upon seeing the bracelet on Loki’s wrist, Little White immediately sat up straight.

“A bracelet.” Loki placed the hand wearing the bracelet on his thigh and added, “A bracelet that shields the aura of the deep sea.”

really!

Loki also has a device to shield herself from the aura of the deep sea!

Little White stared at the bracelet on Loki's wrist, and his heart skipped a beat.

Although the bracelet on Loki's wrist was crude in appearance and large in size, it was indeed functionally the same as the exquisite deep-sea aura shielding devices in the newbie naval base.

Xiao Bai's brows gradually furrowed.

"Miss Loki, where did you get this bracelet from?" Little White asked.

“It was a gift from someone,” Loki replied.

"A gift?" Xiaobai was taken aback. "Wasn't it made by Ella's family?"

Loki shook his head.

"Then...who gave it to you?" Xiaobai asked cautiously.

“A ship girl who once visited this place,” Loki answered quietly, shaking off the sleeve of his sleeve to cover the rough bracelet on his wrist once more.

“A ship girl…” Xiaobai blinked at Loki’s answer, then asked curiously, “Do you remember that ship girl’s name, Miss Loki?”

“I’ve never met her directly. I’ve never seen what she looks like, and naturally she’s never told me her name,” Loki said to Little White. “And… she’s only been a guest here once, more than a decade ago.”

"More than ten years ago..." Xiaobai tilted her head, "Uh... so, Miss Loki, the bracelet on your wrist... wasn't actually made by the Ella family, but was left behind by an unknown ship girl when she visited here more than ten years ago?"

"Yes."

"In other words, you can't actually mass-produce these deep-sea aura shielding bracelets here?"

"Yes."

Loki nodded.

Xiao Bai was stunned for a moment, then let out a long sigh of relief.

Xiao Bai's network of admirals is a super sensitive lie detector. In front of Xiao Bai, all lies have nowhere to hide. What Loki just said is all true and highly credible.
