Elder brother's garrison

Page 1745

As Xiaobai moved, a rustling sound, like a snake shedding its skin, suddenly rang out in the quiet room.

At first, Xiaobai didn't pay attention to the sounds in the room, taking it as just the sound of the ship girl next to her rubbing her skin against her clothes as she turned over in her sleep. But once the subtle rustling sound started, it didn't stop and gradually grew louder over time, slowly moving closer to Xiaobai.

Finally, Xiaobai sensed something was wrong.

Xiao Bai lifted her face from the soft pillow.

The night air was filled with a sweet fragrance, like that of osmanthus blossoms.

A creaking sound came from beside Xiaobai's feet, as if a body had lifted its thigh and climbed onto the bed. The next second, Xiaobai felt an amazing sensation as something soft pressed against her calf.

The fragrance of osmanthus in the air became extremely strong at that moment.

Before Xiaobai could even raise his head in surprise, a delicate body climbed onto his lap and slowly straddled him. Moonlight streamed through the curtains onto the bed, vaguely illuminating a waterfall of black hair. Each strand of hair was straight and distinct, blowing towards Xiaobai and carrying an alluring fragrance.

A pair of hands slowly pressed on Xiaobai's chest, and then the delicate body riding on Xiaobai's body slowly pressed down.

"Deep, deep sea red..." Little White exclaimed in surprise, but before she could finish speaking, a small, icy hand covered her mouth. "Mmm, mmm..."

"Shh..." Akagi leaned close to Shiro's ear and whispered, "...Master, you're being so loud...you'll wake up the others."

"Hmm? Hmm! Hmm—"

Xiaobai hummed, looking around in surprise. Fortunately, the two ship girls beside her were sound asleep, and Akagi was moving very carefully, so she didn't wake them up.

Seeing that Xiaobai had calmed down, Akagi from the Deep Sea finally released Xiaobai's mouth.

"Ha... Akagi Fukami, what... what are you doing..." Shiro gasped for breath, swallowed nervously, and asked Akagi Fukami in a low voice.

"Shh." Akagi leaned close to Shiro's ear, her face almost touching Shiro's eyes. "I noticed that Master seems to be having trouble sleeping, so I got up to check on him. Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Condolences...is this what you mean by condolences?" Xiaobai looked nervously at Deep Sea Akagi riding on her back.

"I won't do anything." Sensing the wavering in Xiaobai's words, Shenhai Chicheng gently rose and looked down at Xiaobai with gentle eyes. "I just saw that my lord was suffering at night and wanted to give him a massage to relieve his insomnia."

"Massage?"

“Yes, a massage.” Akagi said slowly, moving closer to Shiro again, pressing her body as close to Shiro’s as possible, “...with my...this broken body.”

"Such a grand gesture... hiss—"

Xiaobai was about to say that it was a bit too fast for her and Akagi to do this on their first day of meeting, and whether they should wait until they were closer. But before she could say anything, Akagi leaned down and Xiaobai felt a fragrance that seemed to permeate her soul pierce through her mind. Through the thin fabric of her pajamas, Akagi's soft skin brought Xiaobai a cool and comfortable sensation from all angles.

Xiao Bai's defenses were instantly shattered.

Xiaobaitou lost so completely this time.

Xiaobai eagerly awaits Shenhai Chicheng's next move.

But to Xiaobai's surprise, after hugging Xiaobai on the bed, Akagi of the Deep Sea did not make any further moves.

“My lord, I know there is still a rift between us… therefore, I will not make any further moves.” Akagi said in Shiro’s ear, “I really only came tonight to relieve your stress, and if possible, have a little chat.”

"……actually……"

"Ok?"

"No, it's nothing... Let it be..." Xiaobai closed her eyes resignedly, her face flushed, awkwardly savoring the fragrance and softness emanating from the Akagi in the deep sea.

Deep Sea Akagi slowly lowered her head, her forehead resting against Shiro's chest.

"The Lord's scent is truly wondrous," Akagi murmured after a moment of silence.

"Strange...strange what?"

"I don't like humans... or rather, strictly speaking, I should despise humans." Akagi Fukami hugged Shiro, feeling the warmth emanating from him. "But even though my lord is human, I don't dislike his scent. In fact, if you listen carefully, you can even detect a hint of Kaga Fukami's scent in him..."

"I...I don't have a body odor, and even if I did, it certainly wouldn't smell as good as you..." Xiaobai quickly replied.

"Yes, everything is there." Akagi Fukami closed her eyes and leaned against Shiro, saying reassuringly, "I will never forget this scent."

"..." Xiaobai blushed, raised her neck, and brought her nose to her armpit to smell.

It was clean, with only a faint scent of shower gel and the fresh body fragrance emanating from Akagi Fukasaki.

Ok……

Although I'm not entirely sure what Akagi smelled on me, I'm so glad I've been taking proper showers.

Xiao Bai relaxed, resting her head on the pillow, and let out a long sigh of relief.

“Deep Sea Red City…we clearly said before that you don’t need to serve me…” Xiaobai said softly.

“Yes, I remember.” Akagi Fukami nodded, but her arms around Shiro remained tight. “But… that’s why I want to serve you even more. This time, my service is not a chore, but an act of my own volition. I feel a deep happiness when I see you looking comfortable because of my service.”

"Why, why?"

“Yes… I also want to ask myself, why?” Fukami Akagi murmured, “It was just a matter of saving my life and taking me in, I am far from being able to do such a thing.”

"..."

The sweet fragrance in the air is becoming increasingly intoxicating.

Xiao Bai's mind gradually became confused, and his thoughts began to stop. A feeling that he couldn't quite put his finger on, whether it was drowsiness or something else, enveloped his mind.

Does the scent of Akagi from the deep sea... also have sleep-aiding effects?

Xiao Bai's eyelids began to feel heavy.

"Deep Sea Red City..." Xiaobai forced himself to speak.

"I'm here."

"There's something I... I'm not quite sure about... that I'd like to ask you."

"Excuse me."

"Why...why weren't you angry at all after you heard that Kaga Fukami was going to come with me...even though you were so against her coming with me before..." Xiaobai asked, her voice growing softer and softer, as if drowsiness was slowly lifting like a black curtain, covering Xiaobai's eyes.

In the darkness, a pair of cool, soft hands cupped Xiaobai's face.

"Ah... My lord is really... asking a question you already know the answer to." Akagi's voice came from the other side of the night.

Before Xiaobai could hear Shenhai Chicheng's next words, drowsiness overwhelmed him like a tidal wave. Xiaobai tilted his head and fell into a deep sleep.

In sleep.

Xiao Bai vaguely felt a pair of fingers brushing across her lips and lifting her chin.

Then, a pair of soft, cool lips gently rubbed against her cheek.

"That's because our lord... would rather we be human than dogs, wouldn't he?"

The cool lips finally settled on Xiaobai's lips.

The darkness took away Xiaobai's last remaining consciousness.

Chapter 2400 A Thousand Miles Away

at the same time.

a long distance away.

The rookie naval captains and deep-sea deans who stayed behind in the villa were having a lively barbecue party.

Under the starlight of the night, on the lawn in front of the villa, a hot grill was running, and skewers of grilled meat were turning over the flames under Loki's control, sizzling and dripping with oil.

At the edge of the grill, a group of destroyers and deep-sea deans, eagerly watching over the meat skewers, were worshipping them as if on a pilgrimage.

The meat skewers were grilled very quickly.

The diligent Loki handed the grilled meat skewers to the Abyssal Fleet and the ship girls who had been waiting around him. Then he took out a handful of raw meat skewers from his ship equipment space and put them into the stove to grill them carefully.

The destroyers carried their assigned meat skewers to a nearby table.

The directors of the Deep Sea Institute grabbed meat skewers and started eating right there by the stove, enjoying the night view.

"Freshly grilled skewers are definitely the best!" Smelling the aroma of meat wafting from the grill, holding up a golden, glistening skewer, Yamato Akami's face showed a touch of emotion. "Eating such hot food late at night feels so good, it's like all the fatigue in my body has evaporated instantly!"

"Didn't you just go to the modeling agency to take a few photos today?" Savoy asked, biting into a kebab.

“Being a print model is exhausting!” Fukami Yamato explained to Savoy angrily. “Those photo shooters spend all day either putting on weird makeup or changing me into weird clothes in the dressing room. During the shoot, they make me pose in all sorts of uncomfortable ways in front of the camera. I told them these poses were uncomfortable, and listen to what they said! They said the more uncomfortable the pose, the better it looks in the photo! It makes me so angry! For just a few photos, I haven’t had a break from eight in the morning until now!”

When talking about work, Yamato Fukami's face was full of resentment, as if he had endless grievances to vent.

"No wonder he's such a busy man." Savoy shrugged after listening to Yamato's complaints.

"Hmph—hmm?" Yamato stared at Savoy's calm face for a while, a hint of doubt appearing between his brows. "Eh? Speaking of which... Savoy, didn't you go with Loki to Miss Shikamei's company today to help her film a video?"

"Yes."

"You don't look tired at all, and I remember you came back early today, right?" As Yamato Fukami chatted, she suddenly sensed something was wrong and instantly became alert. "...Wait a minute, Savoy, you...you didn't skip work, did you?"

"...Where did you come from, the supervisor?" Savoy glanced helplessly at Deep Sea Yamato with a mouthful of grilled meat in his mouth. "No...Actually, it's because something happened at Shikamei's company today, so filming was interrupted, and we're just taking a day off."

"What's wrong?" Upon hearing this, Yamato Akagi was completely taken aback.

"I don't know." Savoy swallowed the roasted meat in his mouth, licked the oil from the corner of his mouth, and then threw the bamboo skewer in his hand into the bucket. "Anyway, we didn't see any deer today."

"Miss Shikame..." Yamato Shinkai thought for a moment, holding a skewer of grilled meat. "Miss Shikame..."

A finger gently poked Deep Sea Yamato's lower back.

Yamato interrupted his thoughts and turned his head to look.

Deep Sea Musashi was seen holding a handful of leftover bamboo skewers, drooling as he stared at the skewers in Deep Sea Yamato's hand.

"Sister, I'm hungry."

"...You eat way too fast..." Yamato Sakura sighed and handed over the skewers in his hand. "You should chew slowly, or you'll get indigestion."

"Uh-huh."

Deep Sea Musashi, clutching the skewers she'd received from Deep Sea Yamato, skipped and hopped away.

Yamato watched the departing Deep Sea Musashi and a slight smile appeared on his face.

But soon, the smile on Yamato's face disappeared, and he looked at Savoy beside him.

"Miss Shikamei, could you be in trouble?" Yamato Shinkai asked, his hands empty and unsure of what to do.

"Who knows? Anyway, it's none of my business." Savoy hummed a little tune, looking at the fireplace not far away. "I have absolutely no interest in the petty squabbles between humans. But you, Abyssal Yamato... playing house with humans as a ship girl, have you been getting a little too into it lately? You still remember you're the Dean of the Abyssal Fleet, right?"

"Well, well, of course I remember!" Yamato Shinkai exclaimed in shock, then stammered.

"...You haven't actually almost forgotten that you're from the deep sea, have you?"

"I was working hard for Xiaobai..."

"She's not home right now."

"me……"

"So what's the reason for your dedication to work?" Savoy asked curiously.

"I... um... this is... this is..." Faced with Savoy's seemingly soul-searching question, Deepsea Yamato stammered, her face flushed, and finally could only give up resisting, lowering her head and muttering softly, "Because... because it really can make money..."

"..." Savoy.

Savoy rubbed his forehead, looked at Yamato Akagi, who was blushing like a girl whose feelings had been exposed, and sighed.

He was such a formidable person on the sea... how did he become like this once he got ashore?

It's truly an unsolved mystery of the deep sea.

On the dining table not far away.

The destroyers placed the grilled meat skewers on plates and served them to Akagi at the table.

"Akagi-neechan! The meat skewers are ready!"

"Thank you Fubuki, thank you Shirayuki, and thank you Miyuki, and thank you Hatsuyuki." Akagi smiled and patted the destroyers' heads, then picked up a skewer from the plate and smiled at them, "You guys eat too."

"Yay!" The destroyers carried their plates and quickly ran to the seats on the side.

Soon, laughter from the destroyers echoed across the dining table.

Akagi looked at the lively scene before her with satisfaction. She lowered her head, took a bite of the kebab, chewed it a little, and then reached for the water glass next to her.

Akagi's hand touched the water glass, but she couldn't catch it, and the glass fell off the table.

Akagi quickly bent down to catch it, but her other hand caught the falling water glass even faster.

Akagi looked up at the person in front of her and smiled shyly at her.

"Saratoga, thank you."

Standing in front of Akagi was Saratoga, who was eating a bunch of kebabs with his cheeks bulging like a hamster.
