Impressed.
On his side, he's a big bad guy who treats Fubuki like dog food, but on Iowa's side, he's a cotton candy haven with the flavor of an admiral...
Too bully.
It’s so bullying!!!
The pursuer said that his actions had just been self-humiliating.
The pursuer pouted and pressed his chest.
Fubuki is so superficial.
Although she admitted that Iowa's magnificent chest was very impactful and attractive at first glance, she knew that her own slender and delicate figure was just as appealing...
They clearly have a large audience!
You ignorant destroyer!
So angry!
Chapter 3631 A Deposit
Fubuki nestled peacefully in Iowa's arms, and Xiaobai and his group returned to the brightly lit office that remained open all night.
"Admiral, it seems your expedition today has made a breakthrough." As soon as she entered, Iowa sat down in the secretary ship's seat with Fubuki in her arms. She supported Fubuki's head against her chest with her palm and asked Shiro and the pursuer.
"It's made great progress... Thanks to Fubuki's help, we've had face-to-face communication with the enemy submarine and even learned her name," said Shiro.
“Fubuki…” Iowa murmured, glancing down at the peacefully sleeping Fubuki, and continued, “Hmm… Admiral, please continue.”
“We communicated with the enemy submarine and learned that her name is Henry,” Xiaobai continued.
“Henry… is a name I’ve never heard of before,” Iowa said.
“Yes, she seems to be a very unknown submarine, but even so, many mysterious things have happened around her… I feel that her background is probably not simple.” Xiaobai shook her head and continued to say simply to Iowa, “Actually, Henry is a pretty easy-going submarine. The trouble she caused in the 8-2 area was basically all misunderstandings. I’ve already discussed the follow-up with Henry, and she promised us that she won’t attack ship girls again. I’ve also invited her to come ashore with us and visit our naval base…”
"Didn't she agree?"
No, she agreed.
"What about her?"
“She disappeared,” Xiaobai said. “She just vanished suddenly. There seemed to be something special about her. Before she was about to leave with us, we suddenly kidnapped her. The method of disappearing was very similar to the teleportation vortex of Super Yamato. By the way, Fubuki was shocked into this state by the aftershocks of her disappearance. She needs to rest for a while to recover.”
Iowa listened silently to Xiaobai's introduction. After listening, he looked down and patted the head of Chuixue in his arms.
“I see,” Iowa said. “It seems the Admiral has made rapid progress today as well.”
"We'll probably have to wait until tomorrow to see her for the specifics," Xiaobai said weakly, sitting in her chair with her body slumped over the table. "Today's expedition ended with Henry's disappearance, and the three of us had no choice but to come back."
"Is today's expedition over?" Iowa asked.
"yes……"
"Should we announce tonight's discovery to everyone in the Chapter Sea tomorrow?"
"Let's put this on hold for now," Xiaobai said. "Anyway, Henry won't be attacking the ship girls anymore, so it's fine to delay it."
“I understand.” Iowa smiled and stood up with Fubuki in her arms. “Then, Admiral, now that today’s expedition is over, I’ll go arrange accommodations for Fubuki. It seems she needs a good rest.”
"Um...Thank you for your hard work."
"Easy to do."
Iowa carried Fubuki out of the office, walked away, and disappeared.
Xiao Bai slowly stood up and looked at the pursuers.
For some reason, the pursuer's expression had been strange ever since he returned and saw Iowa, as if he was absent-minded. At this moment, when Xiaobai stared at her, she was intentionally or unintentionally looking down at her chest, gesturing with her hands in the air to show the full shape.
"The pursuers?"
"Whoa!" The pursuer suddenly shuddered, hugged himself, and looked at Little White. "Admiral? What are you doing?"
"...You seemed distracted just now. Did you discover something?"
"Found something? Uh... no, nothing..."
"I see." Xiaobai nodded and smiled at the pursuer. "You've had a hard day's campaign. Tonight is still long, so go and get some rest. Remember to call me if you need anything."
"Hmm... okay." The pursuer drawled, "So, should I still go to war tomorrow?"
"Huh? What's wrong?"
“Look…it was Fubuki who defeated Henry, I didn’t help much at all.” The pursuer said, scratching his cheek. “It seems like I was the most useless one on this expedition.”
"Don't underestimate yourself." Xiaobai smiled. "The reason why Fubuki was able to hit Henry with only a few dozen attempts today is thanks to the effect of your skill... In short, you deserve credit today. Although there shouldn't be any need to fight Henry tomorrow, since Henry has become familiar with us, I still hope you can come with us tomorrow."
"Oh, oh, oh! That's what I was waiting for, Admiral!" The pursuer immediately felt relieved and said with her hands behind her back, "Well then, Admiral! I'm going to the arcade to relax! Remember not to work too late!"
"..." Xiaobai smiled and waved.
The pursuer then skipped and hopped to the door with her hands behind her back. She had just taken a step when she suddenly seemed to realize something, stopped, and turned her head to look at Xiaobai thoughtfully.
"..." The pursuer remained silent.
"What's wrong?" Xiaobai tilted her head.
"Admiral...do you like Iowa's type?" the pursuer asked.
"Huh?" Xiaobai suddenly froze, instinctively raising her hands. "You...you...how did you find out?"
"Just as I thought..." The pursuer looked disappointed. She lowered her head slightly, her hands covering her chest, her red eyes shimmering, and she murmured softly, "Admiral, the big ones are certainly powerful, but actually, the smaller ones are quite good too..."
"...?"
"Hehehe!" The pursuer stuck out its tongue at Little White and disappeared out the door in a flash.
Before Xiaobai noticed, the pursuer had already disappeared from sight.
Xiao Bai sat back down, looking completely bewildered.
So what did the pursuer mean by asking himself that question just now?
Has she discovered my special relationship with Iowa?
Xiao Bai shuddered at the thought.
Although I don't mind the ship girls finding out about my special ship-marriage relationship with Iowa...
But... how exactly did she find out?
That's strange.
Although Iowa often teases him, she is very discreet and should not leave any trace.
So... it really was from my side?
Hmm... was my behavior really that obvious?
Xiao Bai lowered her head and bit her finger.
After a while, Xiaobai quickly shook his head, clearing away the jumbled thoughts in his mind.
No, no, now is not the time to think about these things. I should be thinking about Henry...
Taking a deep breath, Xiaobai calmed herself down.
……
After a good night's sleep, Fubuki was back to her energetic self the next morning.
Early in the morning.
As Xiaobai was working in the office, the office door was suddenly pushed open with a bang, and a blue figure rushed in.
"Admiral! Good morning!"
With her hands raised high, Fubuki burst into laughter, her body exuding a delicate fragrance, and her petite, supple body lunged straight at Shiro.
With a thud, Chuixue bumped into Xiaobai's arms.
"Fubuki, you're awake." Xiaobai rubbed Fubuki's head. "How did you sleep last night?"
"Hehe, Admiral, I slept so well! I'm fully recovered now!" Fubuki grinned happily as she enjoyed Shiro's caresses.
"Do you remember what happened last night?" Xiaobai asked.
“Last night… um…” Fubuki thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up and she said, “I remember we had just taken Henry away from the sea on a boat, and when we were almost at the deep-sea city, bang! I was blown away! Then I felt dizzy and the world was spinning, my head felt like it was a mess, and I was so tired, but I couldn’t sleep. But thankfully, in the end we went to a really comfortable place, and I was finally able to close my eyes!”
"You must have had a hard time on this journey," Xiaobai said to Chuixue.
"Hehe, it's nothing. I ran into Sister Flower Q on my way here. She said Henry disappeared at the end, and we're going to look for her on the sea today, right?"
"Yes, after all, she agreed to come and visit us..."
"Yay!" Fubuki raised her hands and jumped down laughing. "Then, Admiral, I'm going to prepare for tonight's expedition! Will the three of us go together again tonight?"
"Yes Yes."
"Yay! Another dare!"
Xiaobai nodded and watched as Chuixue skipped and hopped away from the office.
Xiao Bai looked out of the office with a smile.
A figure took over from Fubuki and appeared at the office door; it was Iowa, who had just gone out to coordinate work.
Iowa held a stack of brand-new paper documents in his arms, along with colorful folders and file bags.
"Admiral, was Fubuki here just now?" As soon as Iowa entered the office, she looked around and asked Shiro with a smile.
"Huh? How did you know?"
“Because you had a very obvious smile on your face, Admiral,” Iowa said with a smile. “You’ve been thinking about things all day, and I haven’t seen you smile much at all.”
“She definitely came by just now.” Xiaobai scratched his cheek and asked Iohua, “Iohua, what did the guild say today?”
"Yes, everything is as safe as ever," Iowa said. "Fewer and fewer admirals are paying attention to this matter because they don't usually engage in night battles to farm fish, so the guild's expedition rate and mission completion rate haven't been affected."
"That's good." Xiaobai nodded.
"Is the Admiral still thinking about Miss Henry?" Iowa placed the official documents on the table, sat down next to Xiaobai, and asked, turning her head to the side.
"Do you have any idea?"
“I didn’t go on the expedition with the Admiral, so I don’t know the specific details.” Iowa shook his head. “As for Miss Henry, the Admiral will have to do the work himself.”
"All right……"
“However, Admiral, the president of the Admiral's Guild in Chapter Eight seems to have the right to access confidential documents from the Admiral's headquarters,” Iowa said to Xiaobai. “Since Miss Henry has demonstrated such combat prowess, she must be no ordinary submarine. So I think she must have left some traces in history. Anyway, I'm free after the Admiral went on the expedition, so why don't I do something within my power these few days and help the Admiral investigate some of Miss Henry's legends?”
"Oh? You want to help investigate Henry's background?"
"If the Admiral doesn't mind..."
"I don't mind at all, not at all." Xiaobai quickly shook her head, smiled and took Iohua's hand, saying to her, "I'm very relieved that you're doing these things. In fact... I'm very grateful that you can help me!"
"Ah... Admiral." Iowa looked at her hand being held, initially surprised, then smiled at Xiaobai, "Did the Admiral mean... to repay me?"
"Ah...yes, you could say that?"
“In that case, the Admiral should know what kind of reward I need.” Iowa raised her hand slightly, brought it to her mouth, looked at Xiaobai, her eyes shining with a smile, “Admiral… then… consider it a deposit paid in advance… so that I will be more motivated to complete the work assigned by the Admiral, how about that?”
Xiao Bai followed Iahua's gaze and looked toward the office door.
Outside the office, the figures of the ship girls came and went in a scattered manner.
The quiet office and the bustling lobby felt like two different worlds.
Xiaobai looked away and met the smiling Eahua's gaze. She felt a little shy and lowered her head with a blush.
Xiao Bai let go of his hand, stood up, and, under Iowa's smiling gaze, went to the office door.
The office door slowly closed amidst the noisy environment.
It was closed perfectly.
Chapter 3632 Turning a blind eye
Inside the spacious office hall, the ship girls moved back and forth, playing and having fun in various areas of the hall, gathering in small groups to chat, greet each other, and exchange smiles.
The atmosphere in the hall was cheerful and lively.
However, in a corner of the bustling office lobby, Xiaobai's office door was tightly closed, and the office was quiet, as if isolated from the lively outside world.
The world behind this door is unknown to anyone.
