Elder brother's garrison

Page 2606

Akagi from the deep sea is asleep.

Xiaobai silently gazed at Akagi's peaceful sleeping face. She leaned over and reached out to tidy Akagi's slightly messy black hair, then touched Akagi's cheek and lips with her fingers.

Deep Sea Akagi was completely unaware of Shiro's touch.

Xiao Bai withdrew her hand and quietly got off the bed.

Xiao Bai picked up the clothes from the ground one by one. The clothes seemed to be tangled together, and it took Xiao Bai some time to pick them out, sort them, and fold them neatly.

After Xiaobai sat on the edge of the bed and put on her own clothes, she stared blankly at the obvious pool of water on the floor for a while.

"...Hmm...I'll have to finish my water next time."

Xiaobai took out a mop and dried the water stains on the floor. Then she straightened the cup on the table and wiped the water stains off the table with a cloth.

After finishing the basic cleaning and tidying, Xiaobai turned around and took a serious look at Shenhai Akagi, who was still sleeping in bed. Finally, she tiptoed to open the dormitory door and left.

After spending the night with Shiro, Akagi always sleeps until the afternoon of the next day.

The few short minutes she was awake just now were the last bit of physical strength and energy her body could squeeze out.

The corridor outside the dormitory was bathed in sunlight.

Xiao Bai stood in front of the door for a while, looking at the clear sky and enjoying the long-lost leisurely atmosphere (actually, it was only for a few days). Then she went to the next room to say hello to Nia.

Nia was naturally delighted by Xiaobai's greeting.

When Xiaobai went to see her, Nia still looked exhausted from just waking up. She was brushing her teeth in front of the mirror in her pajamas. As soon as she heard Xiaobai's call, her eyes widened and she brushed her teeth more vigorously.

As expected, Nia excitedly brushed her gums until they bled.

……

In short, after having breakfast with Nia and watching her lead the ship girls off on their expedition, Xiaobai finally received a message from the Iowa-class ship girls on his phone.

That's New Jersey, that sleepyhead, finally... woke up.

When Xiaobai arrived at the entrance of the Iowa-class dormitory, Wisconsin was squatting at the door, hugging her legs and looking towards the end of the corridor.

Upon seeing Xiaobai, Wisconsin raised her arm and called out to Xiaobai.

"Admiral—over here!"

"Good morning, Wisconsin." Little White greeted Wisconsin as she approached. "New Jersey is finally awake?"

“Yeah, she finally… Wow, Admiral, you smell so strong!” Wisconsin was about to answer when she subconsciously sniffed the air, then looked at Shiro with a strange expression. “Did Akagi from Deep Sea spend the night at your place again?”

"……"noob.

Xiao Bai pulled up her collar a little awkwardly.

Oh yes……

I didn't shower this morning, and the scent of Akagi from the Deep Sea still lingers on my body...

Because Xiaobai had been with Deep Sea Akagi since last night, after so much time, she had completely adapted to the scent, and her nose could hardly detect Deep Sea Akagi's strong floral fragrance anymore.

So... Nia must have sensed it too?

But she didn't seem to mention this at all...

Thinking of this, Xiaobai felt extremely embarrassed.

"Ah... well... how about I go take a shower?"

"Oh well, never mind," Wisconsin looked at Xiaobai with a complicated expression and muttered softly, "Anyway, this smell can't be washed away in a short time... Let's come in quickly, Admiral."

Wisconsin got up and brought Little White into the room.

Inside the Iowa-class dormitory, Iowa and Missouri were chatting and laughing as they organized the documents on their desks.

In contrast to Iowa and Missouri's familiar demeanor, New Jersey was sitting on the bed, rubbing her eyes and yawning. She was still as elegant and dignified as ever, her blonde hair still smooth and flowing even after almost a day and a night of sleep. Her quiet appearance was like that of a delicate life-size doll.

"Admiral, you've arrived."

When Iowa and Missouri saw Little White, they immediately stopped what they were doing and greeted her with smiles.

"Iowa, Missouri, what were you doing just now?" Xiaobai asked softly, looking at the documents in their hands.

“Hmm? Ah… those are some documents from the Admiral’s Guild.” Iowa said with a smile. “Don’t worry, Admiral, these are not very confidential documents. Missouri helped me a lot when I was organizing the documents last night. We are discussing whether we should ask her to help out at the Guild next time.”

"Is Missouri going to be the secretary ship too?" Xiaobai looked at Missouri.

“Anyway, Missouri doesn’t have any work here, so he’s really quite free.” Missouri nodded with a smile. “If the Admiral needs him, Missouri can come anytime.”

"Oh, okay..."

Xiaobai nodded, and just as she was about to smile, she subconsciously tugged at her collar, took a step back, and gave Iowa and Missouri a slightly embarrassed smile.

Xiao Bai was certain that Missouri and Iowa had already caught a whiff of the strong osmanthus scent on him...

Fortunately, Missouri and Iowa didn't seem to show anything unusual. They just smiled and chatted as usual, seemingly unaware of anything amiss.

Xiao Bai occasionally shifted his gaze to New Jersey, who had just woken up.

New Jersey sat on the edge of the bed, looking as if he was awake but not quite, his mind wandering in the distance.

She walked up to New Jersey, scratched her cheek, and spoke to him.

"New Jersey?"

"..." New Jersey didn't reply, but her eyes suddenly brightened as she looked at Xiaobai.

"...You, you're awake?"

“…Hmm.” New Jersey nodded.

"Um... are you still sleepy?"

“Probably… not sleepy,” New Jersey replied.

"That's great... Now, can we talk about your ship's equipment space...?"

Xiaobai wanted to get straight to the point and get to the heart of the matter.

But when they heard half of what Xiaobai said, the people in New Jersey shook their heads slightly, interrupting him.

"Admiral, there's no need to say anything. When I woke up just now, Sister Iowa already told me..." New Jersey said softly, looking up at Little White, "Admiral wants the construction device that built me ​​before, right?"

"Um...is it okay?" Xiaobai immediately became a little nervous upon hearing this.

“…That thing is huge, and I’ve been complaining about it taking up space for a long time.” New Jersey said, lowering her eyes. “I’ve been thinking about what to do with this machine. With it in my ship’s equipment space, there’s no room for anything else, but I’m also a little reluctant to throw it away. Admiral, you should have told me sooner…”

Chapter 3660 Who's Next?

New Jersey spoke with unusual calmness, as if she were expressing the thought of finally getting rid of some long-standing burden.

Xiao Bai was completely confused by what he heard and could only manage a wry smile.

It's all because New Jersey has never mentioned the construction machine in her ship's equipment... not even her three sisters have heard of it. If she had just mentioned it once on a whim, Xiaobai wouldn't have only just found out that the super construction machine is installed in her ship's equipment space now...

Even Xiaobai only learned about this by chance from someone in New Jersey.

Xiao Bai felt that if he hadn't asked, New Jersey might have had to leave the construction machine sitting idle for several more years.

"Finally someone's taken over the Super Construction Machine! Congratulations!" Wisconsin clapped her hands. She then asked Little White, "Admiral, where are we going now? Should we go to the Admiral's Guild and leave the Super Construction Machine there?"

“These things have a limited number of uses, so let’s keep them at home for our own use.” Xiaobai had already figured out what to do with the super construction machine. She said to the Iowa-class ship girls, “There are many open spaces here at the temporary naval base. Why don’t we put it there for a while and check the performance of the super construction machine?”

"Oh! That's fine!"

Wisconsin responded.

After getting up and changing her clothes in New Jersey, Xiaobai and the four Iowa-class ship girls went out.

The temporary garrison where Xiaobai currently resides, despite being called "temporary," is actually the best-located and most fully-equipped property in the entire eighth chapter. In terms of scale, it is considered high-end compared to most ordinary, regular garrison residences.

This place is just a tiny spot to put a construction machine, but it's overflowing with stuff.

For example, in an office building, there are countless empty rooms, offices, meeting rooms, and storage rooms.

Xiao Bai and his group arrived at the garden behind the office building. The garden was filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, and the lush foliage, along with a small fountain and wooden walkway in the center, made the surrounding area even more vibrant.

As Xiaobai and his group passed by, a tall figure was sitting on the steps at the edge of the fountain, gently stroking the surface of the water with one hand.

A small bird landed on the figure's head and chirped.

"Hmm?" The figure turned to look at Xiaobai and her group, slightly surprised. The little bird on her head immediately flapped its wings and flew away. "Admiral?"

"Montana? What a coincidence."

Xiaobai and her group also noticed the figure by the fountain. They looked at Montana and stopped in their tracks.

"Admiral, where are you all headed?" Monta stood up and approached Xiaobai and her group with a relaxed and friendly smile. "It's rare to see Iowa-class sisters going out with the Admiral. Did you run into some powerful enemy again?"

The Iowa-class ship girls waved to Montana.

Montana nodded and smiled at the Iowa-class ship girls.

The Iowa-class ship girls actually have a pretty good relationship with Montana. This is partly due to the origins of their ship names and legends, as well as the series of interactions they had before and after joining the newbie naval base.

For example, Missouri cooked for Montana... Missouri used missile ships to infiltrate Montana's social security system... Missouri also...

Ok?

Wait a moment.

After much thought, it seems that this is all part of the ill-fated relationship between Missouri and Montana.

Xiaobai realized this too late.

Her smile grew even brighter.

"Ah... about this... actually, it's New Jersey, she..." Xiaobai glanced back at the ship girls behind her, "...is a construction machine..."

The construction machine in New Jersey wasn't exactly a top secret of the naval base. While there was no need to publicize it, there was even less need to keep it from the people inside the base. So, Xiaobai simply told Montana about it.

After hearing what Xiaobai said, Montana looked surprised and interested.

"A 100% construction machine? Is that an interesting thing?"

"...Montana, aren't you a future ship girl? Doesn't this kind of thing exist in the future?" Xiaobai asked back.

“Sigh… the future.” Montana sighed, looking up at the sky. “Who knows? I can’t even tell if the future I remember is the real future or just a virtual setting.”

"...Your question is a bit too philosophical."

"Haha." Montana laughed, and looked at Little White, saying, "Admiral, are you going to use the 100% Construction Machine? Let me go and take a look too."

"Sure, but aren't you always busy?" Xiaobai tilted her head. "Didn't any of the ship girl sisters outside the naval base ask you out today?"

“Yes, there are,” Montana nodded, looking at Xiaobai, “but you can postpone them.”

"Oh, this isn't right..."

“After all, I’m still the Admiral’s property. Playing with the girls is just part of my daily life, but dating the Admiral is the highest priority,” Montana said with a smile.

"..." Xiaobai smiled bitterly.

Upon hearing Montana's words, the Iowa-class ship girls all began to scan Montana from head to toe.

Wisconsin, in particular.

Wisconsin stared at the heavy breastplate on Montana's chest, which was almost comparable to that of Iowa, and felt a strong sense of crisis rush into his mind.

“Hey, Missouri, Iowa, Montana wouldn’t…” Wisconsin leaned closer to Missouri and Iowa, muttering softly, “Could she also have feelings for the Admiral… Oh no, her figure seems to be the Admiral’s type…”

Missouri and Iowa did not reply.

The two simply smiled, cupping one cheek with one hand as they looked at Montana and Xiaobai, their expressions radiating confidence.

……

In short, Montana joined White's team.

The group of six walked through the garden into the office building and found a spacious, vacant office on the second floor.

“Although no one uses this place, it’s very clean, with little dust accumulation.” Iowa looked around at the open space and said to Xiaobai, “Hmm… but the furniture is a bit in the way, so we need to move it.”

"Let me do this."

Montana reached out and raised his hand, and the flowing golden flames transformed into several mechanical arms that lifted all the furniture in the room and neatly stacked it in the corner.

"Oh, oh, oh, as expected of Montana." Everyone applauded as they looked at Montana.

“After all, this temporary naval base is also cleaned daily by senior ship girls,” Missouri said with a smile. “Basically, the cleaning and maintenance are all done by the senior ship girls from Admiral Nia’s family. Hmm… Missouri has tried to help out, but she was mostly turned down. It seems that the senior ship girls from Admiral Nia’s family regard this cleaning work as part of the rent they have to pay to live here at a low price.”

"That's a convoluted sentence..." Wisconsin.
