Elder brother's garrison

oops……

So, since I've decided to come to Kyoto, I definitely can't forget to bring Changchun along...

After the train entered the train station, it gradually came to a stop on the tracks.

Xiaobai and Changchun packed their luggage and stood up, their eyes fixed on the seats opposite them.

"Super Yamato, let's go!" Shiro called out.

Across from Xiaobai, Chaoda was fiddling with her phone. Hearing Xiaobai's call, she looked up as if from another world, first glancing at the scenery outside the window, then hurriedly putting down her phone, picking up her suitcase and getting up.

"Ah...um..."

Super Big and quickly followed Little White.

The suitcase touched the ground, and the wheels rattled loudly behind it.

"Chao Da and Sister, let me pull your suitcases." Changchun stretched out her hands to Chao Da and the obedient girl.

“No need… this is empty.” Chaoda shook his head.

"Huh? It's empty?" Changchun and Xiaobai were a little surprised. "We saw you pulling it all the way, and we thought it was very important."

“Hmm… because Yamato-nee said that when humans travel, they always have a suitcase with them,” Chao Yamato said. “She said it’s about creating a sense of atmosphere.”

"……"noob.

"As expected of Yamato-neechan, her idea is brilliant!" Changchun laughed happily upon hearing this. "With suitcases, we feel more like we're on vacation! I'll bring one next time!"

"..." Xiaobai rubbed his forehead.

One person, one ship girl, and one deep-sea creature—that's how they stepped off the train.

There were few people outside the train; because it was the off-season, even the train attendants looked listless.

But when Xiaobai and his two companions passed by, the listless train attendants were still stunned by their exaggeratedly eye-catching good looks. They stared wide-eyed as they checked their tickets and let them pass, until Xiaobai and his companions disappeared outside the train station.

After leaving the train station, the street scene suddenly became much more lively.

The familiar streets were bustling with traffic. Xiaobai and his two companions stood at the edge of the street, took a few deep breaths, and exhaled slowly.

"Phew... It's been almost a year since I last came to Kyoto," Xiaobai sighed.

"The last time the Admiral came to Kyoto was when he invited Miss Stove Goddess back to the naval base, right?" Changchun asked Xiaobai.

"Yes... a lot happened back then..." Xiaobai murmured to herself, feeling somewhat emotional. "I wonder how the mercenary group is doing now, whether Miss Lin's admiral license has been issued yet... and the free repair pool that I promised Miss Vestal... there are still many things to remember."

"Does the Admiral want to go and take a look?" Changchun asked.

“Before that, let’s set up a teleportation point!” Xiaobai looked at Changchun and Chao Yamato, raised his hand, and a delicate pink key appeared in his hand. “In short, I borrowed the key to Yubari’s house before I came here! Let’s set up the Kyoto teleportation point at Yubari’s house!”

"Okay—" Chao Da responded, raising both hands.

"Oh...right! Isn't Yubari-neechan coming along this time?" Changchun clapped, but halfway through, he asked curiously.

“Oh dear… Yubari originally wanted to come.” Xiaobai put away the keys and said to Changchun, “But you know… she’s been skipping work for so long, more than a year. Before, when she was staying at our naval base, the ship equipment research center in Kyoto didn’t dare to come and cause her trouble. But if they find out that she’s in Kyoto, I’m afraid that group of people will come straight to the train station to drag her back to work.”

"Haha..." Changchun laughed, "Yubari-neechan is quite busy here in Kyoto."

"That's what I mean. She doesn't want to come back anytime soon, so let's play for her for a bit," Xiaobai said with a smile.

Chapter 3410 The Great Cleanup

As the saying goes, big cities change rapidly.

Xiaobai, Chaodahe, and Changchun strolled through the streets of Kyoto, looking at the cityscape that had almost completely changed in just one year, and couldn't help but feel a deep sense of emotion.

"The shops along this road all look so new... In the past year or so, the shops along the road have changed so much." Changchun stood on tiptoe and looked at the shops around him, suddenly feeling a little sentimental.

“Competition in big cities is fierce… Aside from well-established, reputable brands, it’s perfectly normal for new, small, and numerous shops to come and go.” Xiaobai chimed in, echoing Changchun’s words. “We’re not some ancient monsters in cultivation novels who can take a nap for hundreds of years. A year or so… is long enough for us.”

“The Admiral is right.” Changchun listened to Xiaobai’s words, took Xiaobai’s arm, and her mood improved a lot. “The Admiral of a year or so ago is a completely different person from the one now.”

"Huh... have I changed a lot?"

“It’s huge,” Changchun replied, pulling Xiaobai’s arm closer to his chest. “I remember the first time I met the Admiral, she was a timid girl. Back then, all the older women at the naval base doted on her, as if she were a porcelain doll and they were afraid of breaking her.”

"Uh..." Xiaobai smiled, "And now?"

"The current admiral is very reliable," Changchun nodded, "just like me after I underwent missile modifications!"

"I'll take that as a compliment," Xiaobai smiled.

“Porcelain doll…” Chao Dahe, who was behind Xiaobai, stared at Xiaobai and Changchun with a frown and a puzzled look on her face.

Chaoda and Xiaobai met late. By the time she met Xiaobai, he was already a powerful figure capable of opening the Heavenly Gate with a single shot. Therefore, the words "invincible" and "admiral" were actually linked together by Chaoda.

As for the porcelain doll version of the admiral...

So even admirals have such weak periods...

Humans are truly amazing.

He looked up and sighed, dragging his huge suitcase.

……

Xiaobai, accompanied by the two married ships, followed the route from her memory and returned to the entrance of Yubari's residential area.

The three stood at the entrance and looked inside. The Yubari neighborhood was full of life and lush greenery. Empty fitness equipment surrounded the pavilion garden, a clear stream flowed over the artificial hill, and the artificial lake below shimmered. Wooden fences and ladders connected one end of the lake to the other. The atmosphere was leisurely and elegant, just like a modern landscape painting.

Yubari's residence was a staff room allocated to her by the Ship Equipment Research Center.

The residential area where these so-called staff housing is located is naturally a safe zone that only high-tech talents and their families can enter and exit.

Yubari had been skipping work for over a year, and Shiro wasn't sure if her staff room would be forcibly reclaimed.

So when Xiaobai stood at the entrance of Yubari Community, she touched the keys in her pocket, feeling somewhat uncertain.

Xiao Bai walked to the closed iron gate of the community, exposed his face to the camera, and looked out.

There was a snap.

The tightly closed iron gate of the residential compound opened automatically.

Seeing the gate of the residential area open, Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief.

Previously, Yubari had registered Shiro's information in the homeowner list, so as long as the Ship Equipment Research Center does not reclaim Yubari's house, Shiro will still have the right to enter and exit the community by virtue of Yubari's homeowner privileges.

Looking at it this way, the ship equipment research center seems pretty reliable.

Yubari has been skipping work for so long. If an employee in any other company dared to do this, they would probably be fired long ago. But the Ship Equipment Research Center still keeps Yubari's house... You know, this is Kyoto, where land is incredibly valuable. Yubari's house is over 100 square meters. Considering the land, the value of this house is at least seven figures, and the initial number is definitely not as simple as one, two, or three.

The shipboard equipment research center...it's truly touching!

Xiao Bai opened the iron gate and walked into the community with Changchun and Chaoda.

Following his memory, Shiro entered the building where Yubari lived and took the elevator to the floor where Yubari's room was located.

The elevator doors opened, and Xiaobai stepped out and looked at the door of Yuzhang's house. She was immediately startled.

At the entrance of the Yubari family's house, there was a huge stack of letters. Some of these letters were new, while others were old. The oldest ones were covered with a layer of white dust, while the newest ones were neatly stacked on top of the rest.

Xiao Bai walked to the door and picked up a few pages of the latest envelope.

"To Dr. Yubari... Kyoto City Naval Equipment Center, respectfully addressing..."

"An invitation from Kyoto Television, the 'Lecture Room' program team..."

"Exploring Science..."

"The Committee of the 16th Naval Equipment Scientific Research Symposium..."

Xiaobai didn't open the envelope; she just read the signatures on the few pages of the envelope in her hand.

After a while, Xiaobai shook his head with some emotion.

Some people become the center of the vortex even if they are not in the vortex. Xiaobai believes that Yubari is such a person in the field of "ship equipment research".

"Admiral, are these envelopes all for Yubari-nee?" Changchun asked curiously. She squatted down and pulled out the bottom envelope. As she did so, a noticeable cloud of white smoke spread out. Changchun quickly covered her nose, turned her head to the side, and coughed twice. "Cough cough... So much ash... How long has this been sitting here?"

"It seems like this neighborhood has a mail collection service, probably because they're mailed from all over the country." Xiaobai bent down, grabbed a handful of letters, opened her ship equipment space, and stuffed them in. "Most of the letters here are probably expired... But since we're already here, let's put them all in. We can take them to Yubari when we get back to the naval base and let her deal with them."

"okay!"

Changchun patted the dusty envelope, collected it, tidied it up, and then handed it to Xiaobai with both hands.

Xiaobai took the envelope, stuffed it all into the ship's equipment space, then clapped his hands, looked at the brightly lit Yubari gate, and nodded in satisfaction.

Shiro took out Yubari's key and opened the door to Yubari's house.

It had been over a year since I last saw him. No one had cleaned Yubari's house; the rooms were covered in cold, dusty dust.

Although Xiaobai's main purpose in coming to Kyoto was to plant a teleportation anchor, a secondary purpose was also to visit friends and check on her career, so Xiaobai did not plan to leave that day.

Shiro will definitely be staying at Yubari's house for a few days.

Since we're going to live here, we can't just leave all this dust in the house unattended.

Changchun immediately ran to the bathroom, grabbed a broom and a rag, and was about to start cleaning.

"Admiral, there's too much dust here. Let me tidy it up a bit first!" Changchun said with great enthusiasm. "You go with Chaoda and Sister to set up the teleportation anchor point!"

"Thank you, Changchun," Xiaobai replied with a smile.

None of the rooms in the Yubari family's house were available.

Aside from Yubari's own master bedroom, the other bedrooms in her house were either given to Shiro and decorated as high-tech bedrooms, or were prepared as guest rooms for other ship girls.

Although Yubari had previously told Shiro that Shiro could freely transform her room into a teleportation room according to her mood, and even change her master bedroom if necessary, Shiro did not have such thoughts.

Who says teleporting to a room has to take up a bedroom?

Back then, didn't Xiaobai and Chaoda also use a wardrobe as a teleportation portal?

Shiro arrived at the furniture storage room of the Yubari family.

Xiao Bai opened the door to the storage room and saw that it was covered in dust but empty, with a space of about ten square meters.

“Thanks to the fact that Yubari doesn’t go home much when he’s working, this place has been empty all the time.” Shiro looked down at the floor of the storage room, smiled and nodded. “Yeah, it can be used after a simple sweep with a broom.”

Xiao Bai took out two brooms from the ship's equipment space and handed them to Chao Da and one broom.

The two entered the storage room, quickly swept away the dust, and then Xiaobai took out silver metal plates of various sizes from the ship's equipment space and began to renovate and decorate the storage room.

This isn't the first time Xiaobai has built a teleportation room.

Having learned from their previous experience, Xiaobai and Chaoda worked together seamlessly to attach the silver metal plates to the walls, ceiling, and floor of the storage room.

After the storage room renovation was completed, Chao Dahe glanced at the shimmering silver surroundings and nodded gently to Xiao Bai.

"Admiral, may we leave a teleportation anchor point?"

"Okay, this is fine." Xiaobai pointed to the center of the storage room.

Chao Da glanced at it briefly, then replied, "The teleportation anchor point has been set up. Shall we try it out first?"

"No need this time," Xiaobai shook her head. "Let's go out and help Changchun first."

Xiaobai and Chaoda left the storage room one after the other. Outside the storage room, Changchun had just finished cleaning the living room. The dustpan she was carrying had a thick layer of fluffy, downy white dust.

"Eh? Admiral, are you done?" Changchun was somewhat surprised to see Xiaobai come out.

“Yes, the room we chose this time was small, so it saved us a lot of time.” Xiaobai walked up to Changchun and took the winnowing basket from her hand. “Let me help.”

"Ah... thank you, Admiral... actually, I could have done it all myself..."

Changchun let go, watching Xiaobai carry the dustpan towards the trash can, and whispered a reminder.

"It's okay, I love working." Xiaobai turned around and gave Changchun a bright smile.

Yubari rarely goes home when she's working; it's less of a home and more of a base for her.

So the layout of her home is actually quite simple.

Apart from a few particularly important pieces of furniture, there was basically nothing there, so cleaning was exceptionally quick and easy.

In just one or two hours, Shiro and his two companions cleaned the dusty Yubari house until it looked brand new.

Chapter 3411 Yubari, Oh Yubari

After finishing the big cleaning, Xiao Bai, with his sleeves rolled up and one hand on his hip, looked at the bright and spacious living room and immediately felt much better.

"The cleaning is finally finished!"

Changchun plopped down on the sofa, stretched, and a contented smile immediately spread across her delicate face.

Xiao Bai took out a few apples from the ship's equipment space and symbolically placed them on the coffee table. He then took out some dried fruit platters, nuts, and snacks from the ship's equipment space and arranged them around the apples.
