"Did you see that! Admiral! Admiral!"
From the stands, Xiao Bai waved warmly to Henry below, his face beaming with admiration and encouragement.
……
Henry and the Fubuki-class sisters' exercise has finally come to an end. Although the process of the exercise was a bit unexpected, the result was not surprising to Xiaobai.
dong dong dong...
The sound of crisp footsteps echoed from behind the stands.
After returning to shore with Henry, the Fubuki sisters quickly ran to the spectator stands. The five girls, having recovered from their injuries, appeared before Shiro and his group with a youthful and energetic aura.
"Admiral! We're back!"
Five little girls called out Xiaobai's name in a clear voice. They ran to Xiaobai and Henry, who was in the lead, jumped into Xiaobai's arms. Together with Jinan, who was in Xiaobai's arms, they each took one of Xiaobai's legs.
In fact, Henry and Jinan are not any smaller than Xiaobai.
The feeling of having one ship girl in her arms was barely acceptable, but when two ship girls pounced on her at the same time, Xiaobai immediately felt that her vision was completely blocked. Now, apart from the overwhelming girlish aura and the fair skin that obscured her vision, she could see almost nothing.
"Ah! Changchun, you're here!"
When Fubuki saw Changchun sitting next to Shiro, she immediately pointed at Changchun and shouted.
“Yes.” Changchun nodded to Chuixue.
"Hmph, you must have seen the fight between me, Shirayuki, and Henry, right?" Fubuki immediately put her hands on her hips triumphantly, as if they had just won the battle.
"I did see it."
"Now you know how strong Henry is, right? I wasn't exaggerating at all!" Fubuki said, then immediately widened her eyes and looked around, "Where's Firefly? Where's Kusanagi? Where's Ayanami?"
"Ah...they went back to the naval base yesterday."
"Hey?"
"Because they said they were going on an expedition," Changchun explained to Chuixue. "It's a rare expedition that only happens once a month, just like going on a spring outing. As soon as they heard that, they ran back home."
"Damn it—" Fubuki covered her head, looking heartbroken.
"Don't worry, sister, we'll have plenty of opportunities later!" Shirayuki quickly helped Fubuki up, then clenched her two little fists and cheered her on with great enthusiasm, "Miss Henry will be stationed at the naval base from now on, so next time we can let Firefly and the others practice with Miss Henry!"
"Sister Bai Xue is right!" Chu Xue nodded repeatedly.
On Xiaobai's side, Henry, who was lying on Xiaobai, immediately perked up as soon as she heard the word "exercise," as if a switch had been flipped, and looked around excitedly.
"An exercise? An admiral? There's an exercise too??"
"Mmmmmm..."
Xiao Bai was completely blocked by Jinan and Henry's bodies and couldn't speak.
Seeing this, Henry and Jinan exchanged a glance, and they both jumped off Xiaobai's lap.
Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest, and smiled somewhat awkwardly at Henry and Jinan.
"Ah...did you have fun during the exercise just now?"
"Mmm! I'm so happy!" Henry immediately raised his arms and said to Little White, "It's like the sun shining on the ocean, and the fish leaping out of the water and flying into the sky!"
"I see..." Xiaobai understood and smiled at Henry. "Well... speaking of which, Henry, I promised you a reward if you did well in this exercise... you did a really great job, so what kind of reward do you want?"
"A reward!" Henry immediately stepped forward, hooked his arms around Xiaobai's neck, and rubbed his body against Xiaobai without any defenses. "Admiral, Admiral! A reward, I want a reward!"
“Miss Henry, the Admiral’s personal promise is a very precious thing in our naval base,” Iowa said to Henry with a smile. “Miss Henry, you should make good use of this opportunity.”
"That's wonderful! This is a promise made personally by the Admiral." Changchun, standing to the side, clasped his hands together, looking on with envy.
“That’s true. If we make the most of this opportunity, our status in the naval base could soar to great heights.” Veneto said, arms crossed, his gaze fixed on Iowa’s smiling face.
Iowa nodded to Veneto with a smile, but did not speak.
The atmosphere in the stands became lively as everyone wondered what demands Henry would make of Little White.
Henry herself did not disappoint. Without keeping everyone in suspense, she spoke to Xiaobai almost without thinking.
"Admiral, I want drills!" Henry hooked his arm around Little White's neck, his pink lips opening and closing in front of Little White's mouth, exhaling sweet breath, "I want—more and more drills!!"
"……Um?"
Everyone present was stunned.
Everyone looked at Henry, whose face was flushed and who had an expression of addiction on his face.
"Henry... is the reward you're asking for... more exercises from the Admiral?" the ship girls asked.
"Yes!" Henry nodded quickly.
"Is that all?" the others asked again. "Why don't you think about it some more..."
"I want this! Admiral, I want this!" Henry shook his head and immediately begged for it from Little White.
“You want more practice sessions…” Xiaobai gently placed her hand on Henry’s shoulder and smiled at her. “Hmm… okay, since that’s what you want, I’ll grant your wish.”
Little White thought Henry would ask Little White for more energy bars, snacks, pocket money, and so on...
Unexpectedly, she was a pure ship girl; just one exercise was enough to whet her appetite.
"Thank you, Admiral!" Henry cheered as soon as she saw Xiaobai agree, and then she jumped on Xiaobai and laughed.
"Sigh...what a waste."
The other ship girls watched Henry's satisfied expression, and someone suddenly whispered something to them.
Henry, no wonder she's a submariner, her maturity level... is still too young. Sooner or later she'll regret having such a good opportunity, yet only making such a playful request to the admiral.
"If it were me, I would definitely beg the Admiral to spend the whole day with me!" Fubuki said.
"Um... I, I guess so too..." Changchun nodded, her face slightly flushed, only daring to glance at Xiaobai out of the corner of her eye, her two small hands constantly tugging at each other on her thighs.
Fubuki looked at Changchun's shy expression with a puzzled expression.
"Chaser, if it were you, what reward would you propose to the Admiral?" someone suddenly asked the chaser.
"Huh?? You're asking me??" The pursuer pointed at himself with a bewildered expression.
"Yes, everyone is curious about what you're going to say." The ship girls looked at them with inquisitive eyes.
"Uh... I, I guess I'll pass... uh..." The pursuer looked embarrassed. She pushed her hand away and looked at the empty space with an apologetic expression. "I... I didn't do anything... This kind of reward has nothing to do with me."
"It's nothing, I was just saying."
Seeing the shy look on the pursuers' faces, the ship girls became even more enthusiastic.
Even Xiaobai became a little curious, looking at her pursuers with anticipation in her eyes.
"Chaser, you and Fubuki put in a lot of effort with Henry's matter this time. You've been keeping me company while I work overtime these past few days, thank you for your hard work. So... actually, I can promise you something too." Shiro held up a finger to Chaser and said with a smile.
"There really is one?" the pursuer exclaimed in surprise.
"It's perfect to talk about it. Anything I can do." Xiaobai smiled.
"Uh... well, well..." The pursuer hesitated, glancing at Xiaobai, then at the ship girls watching her from all around. Finally, she lowered her head, clenched her hands, and struggled for a while before slowly speaking, "Well... well... if the Admiral really wants to reward me, perhaps... could you reserve a room for me at the Admiral's Guild and the temporary naval base? That way, it'll be convenient for me to come over in the future..."
"Huh? Okay."
"Thank you, Admiral..." The pursuer breathed a sigh of relief, though with a hint of regret.
“Sister Chaser, that’s a really conservative choice,” Iowa said to Chaser with a smile.
"Uh...ha...ha..." The pursuer scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.
"Veneto, if it were you, what reward would you want?" Everyone suddenly looked at Veneto.
“I don’t want anything,” Veneto shook his head. “I already have everything I want.”
"What if we had to choose one?" the crowd asked again, eager to join in the fun.
“…You lot…” Veneto sighed, glancing at the crowd and then at Little White who was watching her.
Chapter 3656 New Jersey's Construction Machine
Veneto felt that she was indeed a relatively successful ship girl, and she had no regrets in her life.
Veneto now feels that love, career, and family are all blossoming. She has everything Xiaobai can give her. As for the remaining vague expectations, such as being tall and big, heavy and round... Xiaobai doesn't even have those things himself, and he can't give them to her.
Oh no.
Strictly speaking, Veneto is quite satisfied with herself, both in terms of appearance and figure.
She wasn't expecting anything.
So Veneto really didn't have much need.
However... these gossipy ship girls are all very inquisitive.
Veneto opened one eye and looked at the group of people surrounding him, feeling utterly annoyed.
at this time.
A sudden urge to give these ship girls a big surprise and scare them arose within me.
This is probably a whim that Veneto only has once every few years, driven by pure interest.
So Veneto took a deep breath and made his choice.
“…In that case, if I really want any reward, then I’ll have the Admiral kiss me.” Veneto leaned back in his chair, then shifted the position of his legs, and suddenly added to Xiaobai, “Well, of course, not on the cheek, but on the lips.”
"Hey?"
Xiaobai was shocked; she hadn't expected Veneto to say something like that.
"Wow wow wow wow..." The ship girls around her exclaimed in surprise, and the entire spectator stand was filled with screams. "As expected of Veneto!"
As Veneto listened to the voices of the ship girls around her, she closed her eyes slightly.
Henry, nestled in Xiaobai's arms, listened to the voices of the ship girls around her, a strange look on her face.
"Henry? What's wrong?" Jinan asked, noticing Henry's puzzled expression.
"Is kissing the admiral something that requires a reward?" Henry asked the group.
Everyone turned to look at Henry.
"Of course! After all, he's the Admiral!" the ship girls said with laughter. "What's wrong? Has Henry finally realized his reward was too easy? But what's said is said, and it's too late to change it now!"
"..." Henry listened to the ship girls' words and shook her head. "I thought kissing could happen anytime."
"How could that be! This is the Admiral's mouth! Henry, you've only just arrived; you'll see how difficult it is to kiss him later!"
"But I already kissed her," Henry said, his arm around Little White's waist, his eyes peeking out at the ship girls.
All of a sudden.
The stands fell silent.
The ship girls were stunned, looking at the innocent-looking Henry, and then at Shiro.
"Admiral, you..."
"No, no, no, there must be some misunderstanding." Xiaobai quickly waved her hands, her face flushed.
"I've kissed the admiral twice! Once the admiral kissed me first, and the other time I kissed the admiral!" Henry explained at this point, "It wasn't a kiss on the cheek, it was a kiss on the lips, but I wasn't wearing any clothes at the time..."
Boom, boom, boom!
After Henry said that, none of the ship girls in the spectator stands could say a word.
The ship girls just stared blankly at Xiaobai, their mouths agape in disbelief.
"Hey, no, that's not how it is—" Xiaobai was a little confused.
"Admiral!!!"
The next moment, the shouts of the ship girls seemed to blow the roof off the entire spectator stands.
……
It was nearing afternoon.
In the Iowa-class dormitory.
"Hahahaha!!! So, when the Admiral explained this later, wasn't his expression quite something?!" Wisconsin, wearing a white shirt and blue denim shorts, had her two slender, bare legs crossed, hugging a pillow and laughing hysterically. She laughed so hard she nearly fell over on the floor, tears streaming down her face. "Hahahaha, I never thought the Admiral would have a day when he couldn't clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River! Hahahaha!!!"
Wisconsin's cheerful laughter even echoed indoors.
“Sigh, that’s right. I was surprised when I first heard about it.” Iowa knelt on the bed and took a sip of a cup of hot tea from the small table in front of her. “Fortunately, the admiral explained that the kiss Miss Henry mentioned was actually the process of the admiral giving her artificial respiration when he rescued her. Otherwise, the admiral probably wouldn’t be able to calm down today.”
