Xiao Bai recalled that when he left the Savoy territory, he did hear a faint fighting sound. At first, Xiao Bai thought it was the Deep Sea Hindenburg wrestling with the Deep Sea frigates again... Now, he realized that the loud fighting sound was probably coming from Savoy and Barbarossa.
"Did it just fizzle out later?" Xiaobai asked.
"Barbarossa did not linger in the battle. After fighting Savoy for a while, he withdrew from Savoy's territory, and Savoy did not pursue him."
"Ok."
"So, based on what I know of you, you seem to be getting along well with everyone in this ruined city." Frederick the Great said to Little White, his tone still as gentle and calm as a robot, but with a hint of praise. "Well done, worthy of everyone's emulation."
"Uh, thanks..." Xiaobai didn't know what to say, so he scratched his head helplessly and gave an awkward smile.
After all, Xiaobai was originally an admiral.
An admiral's primary duties can be broadly divided into two areas: fighting Abyssal fleets and raising ship girls. While Xiaobai's skill level in fighting Abyssal fleets is quite poor due to a lack of formal training, she excels in the other area—raising ship girls, especially in cultivating relationships with them. She's practically a natural, almost textbook-perfect expert. Dealing with the arrogant Abyssal commanders in the ruined city presents her with little difficulty.
"In short, I've finished speaking. Who agrees and who opposes the idea of Pachina temporarily taking over from Hindenburg in training the deep-sea frigates?" Frederick the Great asked slowly, turning to the deep-sea deans in the conference room.
"I agree!" The giant behind Xiaobai couldn't suppress its loyalty and cast its precious vote.
“…I agree.” Shenhai Zuikaku closed his eyes and said, pretending not to care.
“I agree.” Savoy raised his hand, smiling at Little White with a satisfied expression on his face.
“…Me too.” Kamikaze raised his hand.
The entire conference room.
The atmosphere was exceptionally unified.
It is the will of the people.
Just as Xiaobai was feeling sentimental, suddenly, a pair of hands were raised.
“I object,” Barbarossa said coldly.
"Barbarossa, what are your reasons for objecting?" Frederick the Great asked Barbarossa.
"She doesn't have time."
"why?"
"Because I would ask her to play cards every day."
“…Alright.” Frederick the Great nodded. “But unfortunately, you are now voting against, and there are more people voting in favor than against. Your opposition is invalid.”
"The Deep Sea Hindenburg would also vote the same way I do."
"You have two votes, but that's still not enough."
"..." Barbarossa lowered his hands and bowed his head.
Xiao Bai gave a wry smile.
“If the decision is based on the number of votes, then Patina will temporarily take over the work of the Deep Sea Hindenburg and take care of the Deep Sea frigates.” Frederick the Great turned to Little White. “I’m sorry, but since this position must be filled, you cannot reject everyone’s votes at this stage.”
“…Okay, sure.” Xiaobai nodded.
"Over there on the deep-sea frigate, you can ask Deep-Sea Hindenburg about the training process and experience; she should be able to tell you." Frederick the Great walked up to Xiaobai, raised her hand and pinched her sleeve. With a tearing sound, another small piece of fabric was missing from Frederick the Great's tattered clothes. She folded the fabric into a palm-sized piece and handed it to Xiaobai.
"this is?"
“The deep-sea frigates have taken on their current form by absorbing the deep-sea aura from most of us. However, your aura has not been incorporated into the bodies of those deep-sea frigates, so they will feel unfamiliar with you. This may affect the outcome of your first time commanding them, so bring this with you,” Frederick the Great said to Little White. “My aura is on this. When they sense it, they will show you some respect.”
"Oh... okay, alright... thank you then." Xiaobai took the fabric from Frederick the Great with both hands, nodded to Frederick the Great, and expressed his gratitude.
"I look forward to your performance." Frederick the Great said this to Xiaobai in a low voice, then withdrew his hand and clapped his hands. "The meeting is over. We can adjourn now."
Frederick the Great's council has ended.
Frederick the Great stood motionless, like a robot that had completed its mission.
Kamikaze was the first to react. She silently took a step forward, walked towards the conference room door, and left.
Shenhai Zuikaku remained silent for a while. After Shenfeng left, Shenhai Zuikaku also left the conference room, without even glancing at Xiaobai.
"Congratulations." Barbarossa walked up to Little White, his face calm.
"Um... thank you, Miss Barbarossa..." Xiaobai looked at the only person in the room who voted against the proposal with some embarrassment.
“You shouldn’t have accepted it,” Barbarossa said to Shiro. “If you had just voted against it, and if Super Yamato had also voted against it, the number of votes against it would have far exceeded the number of votes in favor.”
"Uh...someone has to do the work..." Little White said to Barbarossa, scratching his head sheepishly, then said seriously, "But Miss Barbarossa, don't worry, I will take this job seriously, and I will also make time to play cards with you! I promise!"
"..." Upon hearing this, Barbarossa did not speak further, but simply nodded slightly before leaving.
"Congratulations, Admiral! Congratulations, Admiral!" Chao Yamato turned around and clapped for Xiaobai.
"Hehehe... This is quite an experience." Savoy clapped along the way, chuckled, and walked up to Little White, saying with satisfaction, "I've really seen quite a few things that interest me today."
“…Miss Savoy, you must have had a hard time…Are you satisfied today?” Xiaobai asked Savoy.
“Hehe… Actually, it’s still a bit short, it hasn’t met my expectations.” Savoy shook his head, but his expression remained smiling. “However, I think you should have reached that level by the time we meet again.”
"is it?"
“My intuition is usually right, especially in this area.” Savoy stretched and yawned dramatically. “Alright, the show’s over, I should go back to sleep.”
"Do you want me to take you back?"
"Hehehe... I appreciate your kindness, but I'll decline." Savoy patted Little White on the shoulder and leaned closer. "Ah... right, since you showed me something interesting today, I'll tell you something interesting too."
"Hey? What's up?"
"Kamikaze's acting strange today, and it's very likely related to you, hehehe... If you want to have some fun, maybe you could try talking to her?"
written request for leave
I was disappointed after failing to draw any cards.
No updates today, I'm going to go to bed and hug my cold body to rest.
Wuwuwuwuwu...

Chapter 2030 Visiting Kamikaze
"Miss Kamikaze isn't acting right? Uh..."
Xiaobai was initially confused by Savoy's sudden words. She subconsciously recalled the scene of meeting Kamikaze today and indeed felt that Kamikaze seemed a bit strange today.
Ok……
They don't seem as active as I've seen them the last few times?
"Savoy, what's wrong with Kamikaze?" Shiro asked Savoy curiously.
"Hehehe, for this kind of question, you just need to recall how her behavior today differed from her usual behavior, right?"
"Um... I felt that Ms. Kamikaze was a bit absent-minded today, and she didn't say much," Shiro answered honestly.
“Superficial.” Savoy reached out and poked Little White’s forehead.
"Then what else do you think there is..." Xiaobai asked Savoy, rubbing his forehead.
"Hehe... Although I hate to admit it, because of some ill-fated connections, I consider myself to know that woman very well. The way she looks today is definitely not as simple as just having a minor problem..." Savoy raised her eyebrows and said to Little White with a smile, "Do you remember when you came here before?"
"I remember." Xiaobai nodded, subconsciously turning his head to glance at Frederick the Great not far away.
"When Kamikaze saw you here last time, she made no attempt to hide her feelings for you," Savoy said to Shiro with a smile. "Frederick just told me that Kamikaze invited you to her house later, right? If I'm not mistaken, Kamikaze has been clinging to you ever since that day, hasn't she?"
"um, yes……"
"Haha!" Savoy laughed loudly upon hearing this, then patted Xiaobai on the shoulder and said to him, "Have you noticed that although she has been trying to conceal her behavior, Kamikaze has been minimizing her contact with you today?"
"Huh? There's such a thing..." Xiaobai was surprised. She opened her mouth, then quickly recalled.
really.
After Savoy's reminder, Shiro realized that Kamikaze really wasn't bothering him like before today...
For example, just now, when I and Barbarossa arrived at the conference room door, Kamikaze stood alone outside the door, hesitating for a long time in front of the closed door, and did not go in. Now that I think about it... Kamikaze probably thought I was already in the conference room. She didn't want to be in the same room with me, so she hesitated outside the door.
Even when Frederick the Great held a meeting with the other Deep Sea Deans, the topic of the meeting was entirely focused on him. While the other Deans were actively participating and interacting with him to varying degrees, Kamikaze didn't speak to him even once… This was completely unlike the previous times when Kamikaze had been so persistent and intrusive.
Xiao Bai found it increasingly strange.
"Yeah...something seems off." Shiro nodded, then said to Savoy with a sudden realization, "Miss Kamikaze didn't bother me today...why is that?"
I can tell she's afraid of you.
"Afraid of me? Afraid of what?"
“How would I know, hehe… Maybe she suddenly lost interest in you… Or maybe she accidentally discovered some little secret about you?” Savoy said, her gaze falling on Shiro with a peculiar smile. “You probably didn’t notice during the meeting, but Kamikaze kept glancing in your direction, intentionally or unintentionally. Every time you noticed, she would look away… Hehehe, what an extremely interesting reaction, especially when it happens to this woman, it’s even more amusing…”
secret?!
Upon hearing this word, Xiaobai's heart skipped a beat.
If what Savoy said is true, then it's really not good news for Xiaobai.
He has quite a few unspeakable secrets about himself... I wonder which one Kamikaze knows...
"Hehe... If it were tonight, I might go and take a look, but for now, let's forget it. See you next time... I hope you can bring me something more interesting then." Seeing that Xiaobai had started to think, Savoy smiled slightly, then turned around and floated away.
Savoy disappeared outside the meeting room.
"Admiral..." After Savoy left, Super Yamato quickly approached Shiro and whispered, "We..."
"Shh." Little White winked at Super Yamato, shushed him softly, then looked at Frederick the Great not far away. "Frederick, we're off too..."
After the meeting ended, Frederick the Great stood in the conference room like a statue, his breath becoming extremely weak as if he had entered hibernation. It was as if the person standing there was not a Dean of the Deep Sea, but a wisp of air. It wasn't until Xiaobai spoke to Frederick the Great that the statue-like Frederick the Great nodded slightly.
Xiaobai and Chaoda left the conference room.
After leaving the conference room and descending the stairs, only after leaving the black spire did Chaoda and He approach Xiaobai with a worried expression.
"Admiral... what Savoy just said..."
"Yes, Savoy is right, Kamikaze's performance today is abnormal."
"Does she know our secret...?"
"...I think our information management is pretty good..." Xiaobai lowered her head and bit her finger, then said to Chao Yamato, "Chao Yamato, when I wasn't home before, you didn't mention our affairs to the other Deep Sea Deans who came to visit us, did you?"
"No, no!" Chao Dahe quickly shook his head.
Chaoda knew she wasn't good at dealing with chatbots, so when Xiaobai wasn't around, she simply pretended to be mute and refused to speak. Besides, no one had visited her place in the past few days, so the information leak had nothing to do with her.
"I think I probably didn't leak anything either..." Xiaobai murmured, suddenly puzzled.
"Admiral, what should we do now?" Chao Dahe asked worriedly.
"Anyway... now that we've figured it out, let's put everything else aside for now, after we've figured out what's going on with Kamikaze." Shiro nodded and said to Super Yamato, "Super Yamato, come with me to the Kamikaze house. I'm going to talk to her."
"...! Admiral, didn't you say Kamikaze was too dangerous...?"
"Who cares about her danger now... More important things are at stake, and besides, I have you by my side."
"Oh, oh!" Chao Da opened his eyes wide, immediately feeling greatly encouraged.
-
When Shiro and Megawa left the black spire, Kamikaze disappeared from the road, seemingly having returned to her residence immediately.
Shiro and Megawa followed the waterway all the way to Kamikaze's territory.
Returning to Kamikaze's residence once again, Xiaobai looked at the small villa in front of her and felt a mix of emotions. She walked up to the tightly closed front door and knocked.
dong dong dong.
The villa should have a doorbell, but it's obvious that the doorbell broke down due to insufficient power supply or some other reason after the city fell into disrepair, and now you can only knock on the door manually.
The knocking was not loud.
But even in a quiet environment, sound can travel very far.
Soon, Xiaobai heard a series of rhythmic footsteps from inside the door. Then, the footsteps stopped behind the door, and a seductive voice came from behind it.
"Oh dear... look who's here?" Shenfeng didn't open the door, but stood at the entrance, calling out with a charming laugh, "Which gust of wind blew you here, my dear sister?"
"Sister Shenfeng, I've come to see you." Xiaobai stood there, raised her smiling face, and smiled at the other side of the gate.
"..." The voice behind the door disappeared eerily for a while, then Kamikaze's laughter rose again, "Hehe...that's really...a good thing...wasn't my little sister avoiding me the other day? Why is she suddenly looking for me now?"
If you listen carefully to Kamikaze's laughter, you can hear a lack of confidence in it.
Xiao Bai became even more certain of his thoughts.
