Elder brother's garrison

Xiaobai returned to the factory. Because of the promise made by the city's boss, Muji, Missouri and North Carolina were ready to leave with Xiaobai at any time.

Surprisingly, Suzuran did not apply to leave with Shiro; instead, she chose to stay at the factory and work with Kiji and the others to research and build the device.

As Suzuran said before, rather than being a useless freeloader, Suzuran would rather do something.

So, without stopping and with almost no time to rest, Xiaobai loaded the ship's equipment and space with resources, then led Missouri, North Carolina, and Sukhbaatar to the factory gate, ready to leave.

Muji and the others were engrossed in their research and had great trust in Shiro, so they didn't come out to see Shiro off. Only Suzuran stood at the factory gate in a white lab coat, waving to Shiro.

"Little White, have a safe trip," said Lily of the Valley.

"Yes, I'll be back as soon as possible," Xiaobai said with a smile to Linglan.

Linglan lowered her waving hand and silently smiled at Xiaobai.

Little White led Missouri and North Carolina away.

Linglan watched Xiaobai's retreating figure, her eyes showing a slight hint of disappointment for a moment.

"Hey, little girl." Just then, the little girl's voice rang out from beside Lily of the Valley.

Lily of the Valley was taken aback. She looked down and saw a black-haired little girl carrying a fishing rod standing beside her, smiling and waving at her.

"Ah... I remember you're Sukhbaatar, right?" Lily crouched down and asked Sukhbaatar, "May I ask what brings you here?"

"I see that you have extraordinary talent, young lady. You are a martial arts prodigy, one in a million. The maintenance of world peace depends on you. I have a secret manual here, and since it seems to be destined for you, I will give it to you directly. Do you want it?" Sukhbaatar said to Linglan with a smile.

"Huh?" Lily of the Valley was taken aback.

Sukhbaatar was a ship girl who returned with Shiro. She acted like she knew everyone. Suzuran stared blankly at Sukhbaatar, wondering why this child was so strange.

—Oh right, she seems to be a ship girl too. I remember she came back with Lu Lin... How did Lu Lin meet her? Speaking of which, she seems to have provided the construction equipment, so does she know more about the construction equipment?

Suzuran only now began to find it strange. There were so many odd things about the ship girl Sukhbaatar. Why hadn't she asked her about anything back then?

It was as if someone was constantly whispering in his ear that this ship girl named Sukhbaatar was safe and not strange at all, and there was no need to question her, making him take her existence for granted.

"Su..." Thinking of this, Suzumura opened her mouth to ask something, but at that moment, Sukhbaatar also reached out and quickly poked Suzumura's forehead with his index and middle fingers.

In an instant, Lily of the Valley felt as if the sky had darkened.

She could see nothing at all, and suddenly there were thousands upon thousands of bees buzzing around her, making a great commotion. She remained crouched, and for a moment, she felt as if time had frozen, as if a hundred years or a thousand years had passed.

"Ouch!" Linglan plopped down on the ground.

She was breathing heavily, feeling cold sweat seeping out from her back.

"How did I end up squatting here?" Linglan looked around in surprise. She was sitting at the entrance of the factory, and it was quiet all around, with no one else around.

"...I remember after I dropped Lu Lin off, I looked down and thought for a while..." Linglan patted her bottom strangely and stood up from the ground, "...After that, what happened?"

Linglan squinted and thought for a while, but finally gave up. She scratched her head and walked back to the factory.

"Lily, you're back!" A female staff member greeted Lily upon her return. "Did you say hello to the ship girls?"

"The fight is over."

"You must be very reluctant to leave, considering you've been away for so long."

"Hmm?" Lily of the Valley frowned. "Has it been a long time?"

"It's been several tens of minutes, hasn't it?" The female staff member said, handing a stack of papers to Linglan. "Linglan, take a look at this."

"Oh, what's this?"

"It was copied from the ship girl's construction equipment. I thought it was just a very ordinary pattern, but Lord Kiyoshi said that no one would carve something for decoration in a place that can't be seen, so this thing must have a special purpose. So I copied the whole pattern. Suzuran, look, isn't it beautifully drawn?" the female staff member said to Suzuran.

Lily of the Valley lowered her head and looked at the paper that someone had handed her.

They were indeed very beautiful patterns, colorful and seemingly without any pattern, but one could vaguely sense some strange vibrations, as if the patterns were expressing some meaning.

Lily of the Valley stared at the pattern on the paper, her eyes gradually becoming listless.

In an instant, it seemed as if the world had turned black, and the noise around me began to fill my ears, as if mountain peaks were flying and thunder and rain were raging.

Gradually, amidst the interplay of lightning and darkness, a pattern slowly emerged in the sky.

At the same time, Linglan felt something bloom in her mind, and streams of clear water instantly flowed through her limbs and bones, making her feel refreshed and relaxed.

"...Inheritance?" Linglan subconsciously opened her mouth, looked at the pattern on the first piece of paper, and murmured softly.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Little White led Missouri and North Carolina slowly away from the city.

After leaving the city for a while, Sukhbaatar, wearing a flower wreath on his head and carrying various small gifts in his hands, finally caught up.

"Lord Sukhbaatar, I thought you weren't coming with us." Xiao Bai said with a smile as he looked at Sukhbaatar who was following behind.

"Hahaha, oh my, your human cities are really quite fun. If I hadn't been worried that you little girls might be in danger without my protection, I wouldn't have come." Sukhbaatar puffed out his thin little chest, his expression saying, "I've already made such a sacrifice, why don't you hurry up and thank me?"

"Thank you, Lord Su," Xiaobai said with a smile to Sukhbaatar.

“Yes!” Sukhbaatar nodded heavily.

Missouri, standing to the side, looked at Sukhbaatar and Xiaobai with some curiosity. In Missouri's perception, this strange ship girl named Sukhbaatar should not have much combat power. If a fight broke out, Missouri believed that she should be able to defeat her easily. She didn't know why Xiaobai was addressing her so respectfully as "Lord Sukhbaatar".

—Is it really because Lu Lin is too kind?

Missouri, having thought of this, looked at Sukhbaatar with a more indulgent gaze, as if looking at a child, and stopped worrying.

The journey was smooth and uneventful. Although Missouri was only level 1, she was surprisingly reliable in every way. She dealt with all the petty thugs and robbers who tried to take advantage of the group of vulnerable women. Thanks to Missouri's help, after several days and nights of travel, Xiaobai and her companions quickly and safely arrived at their destination.

That's right, it's the Black Beach where she left just a few days ago.

When Xiaobai saw the slightly dark beach again, a happy smile appeared on her face. Xiaobai walked to the beach and looked at the white waves surging up from the black tide.

"deep……"

"Thump!" Before Xiaobai could utter a second word, a soft, fragrant body suddenly burst out of the seawater and crashed into Xiaobai's arms.

"Mom!" The Deep Sea Girl's Will lifted her head in Xiaobai's arms, her youthful and slightly charming eyes filled with the joy of reunion.

Chapter 492 ujumpujump

The will of the deep sea appeared incredibly fast. One second the sea was calm and there was nothing there, and the next second a naked little girl appeared as if by magic. She rushed into Xiaobai's arms as if she had seen her own mother and began to rub against Xiaobai's chest.

"Deep Sea Will, I'm back." Little White reached out and ruffled the head of the Deep Sea Lolita Will.

"Hmm!" The will of the deep-sea little girl made a sound like that of a small animal.

Behind Xiaobai, the moment Missouri saw the will of the deep-sea girl, her calm pupils contracted rapidly.

"Deep Sea...Will?" Missouri covered her mouth in surprise, looking at the girl in Xiaobai's arms.

As a ship girl, Missouri has some ability to sense the energy of life forms. Ship girls usually use this ability to sense each other and judge each other's strength.

At this moment, in Missouri's eyes, the little girl named Deep Sea Will in Xiaobai's arms was like a vast and boundless sea. When Missouri sensed it, it turned into a black hole. Whenever Missouri's gaze fell into it, it was like throwing a meat bun to a dog, swallowed up directly into the deep seabed, never to swim back.

—What kind of existence is this?

Missouri was deeply shocked.

"..." The Deep Sea Lolita's will clearly sensed Missouri's spying. Her will-shaped eyebrows furrowed in displeasure in an instant. The Deep Sea Lolita's will quickly looked at Missouri, let out a soft "hmm" in her throat, and revealed a slightly unhappy expression.

Although the Deep Sea Lolita's Will is Xiaobai's daughter and is as obedient and docile as a kitten in front of Xiaobai, her essence is still those inexplicable and mysterious shadows. Because it originated from the sea polluted by deep-sea resentment, no matter how you look at it, due to the dark attributes that constitute the essence of her body, the Deep Sea Lolita's Will is completely unrelated to pure and kind.

If it weren't for Xiaobai, this kid would probably be no different from the Deep Sea Abyss Ship.

When Missouri was targeted by the Deep Sea Will, she felt a chill run down her spine. She even had a feeling that this kid probably didn't like her and might kill her at any moment.

"Deep Sea Will." Just then, Xiaobai's hand slowly reached out and touched the smooth neck of the Deep Sea Lolita Will, gently stroking her neck and collarbone, making the Deep Sea Lolita Will's eyes squint comfortably.

Xiao Bai smiled at the Will of the Deep Sea and said, "That's Missouri, she's someone very important to me."

"..." The Will of the Deep Sea nodded as it enjoyed Little White's caresses, indicating its understanding.

Missouri saw that the Deep Sea Baby's will had lowered its guard before she slowly exhaled.

Unruly children are the most difficult to deal with in the world, and unruly children with great power are the most difficult to deal with in the entire universe. Even though Missouri had a pretty good set of arguments, when faced with this kind of situation where someone just doesn't like you and wants to mess with you, completely unreasonable, refusing to listen to advice, and, more importantly, you don't have the strength to fight back, even Missouri was helpless.

Fortunately, Little White was able to overcome the will of the Deep Sea Little Girl, otherwise Missouri felt she might have been in big trouble today.

"That's North Carolina." After introducing Missouri, Xiaobai withdrew her hand amidst the lingering gaze of the Deep Sea Lolita Will. She pointed to North Carolina and introduced her to the Deep Sea Lolita Will, "Like Missouri, oh, I don't think I mentioned that, they are ship girls, just like Lady Su."

"Hmm!" The deep-sea girl thought for a moment and then nodded happily.

North Carolina hesitated before walking to Xiaobai's side, taking Xiaobai's outstretched hand, and then looking somewhat timidly at the will of the deep-sea loli.

The Deep Sea Lolita's will stared blankly for a moment after seeing North Carolina approach Little White and take Little White's hand.

Then, the will of the deep-sea girl became alert.

She felt she had met her match.

"Mmm!" The deep-sea little girl's will hugged Xiaobai's waist, her eyes lit up, her small back arched, and her long black hair stood up straight as if stimulated, like a kitten asserting its territory.

North Carolina was initially stunned for a moment when he saw the manifestation of the deep-sea girl's will, but then he quickly understood her thoughts.

North Carolina pursed her lips tightly, hugged Xiaobai's arm to her chest, and pressed her chest against it. Like a stray dog ​​that had finally found a safe haven and was showing its indomitable spirit in the face of power, she met the deep sea girl's will head-on without losing face.

Suddenly, the crackling sparks began to flicker again as the two young girls stared at each other.

"They seem like they can get along well." Xiaobai hugged the two little girls on either side, a contented smile on her face.

“Little girl, I think you might have some misunderstanding about what it means to get along well.” Sukhbaatar looked at Xiaobai’s smiling face and poked her mercilessly, saying, “If you keep going like this, you’ll get a woodcutter’s axe.”

"A wood-chopping knife?" Xiaobai was taken aback.

"Ah, it's nothing." Sukhbaatar coughed lightly. "Anyway, you two wings of yours... cough cough, you'd better keep a close eye on your two adopted daughters. The black one is probably thinking about how to destroy the evidence when you're not looking."

"How could that be?" Xiaobai smiled at the will of the deep-sea girl.

The will of the deep-sea little girl pouted.

...Xiao Bai subtly felt that perhaps it would be best to give her a proper reminder.

"Deep Sea Will," Xiaobai called out.

The will of the deep-sea girl raised her head.

"Can I ask you for a few favors?" Xiaobai asked the will of the deep-sea girl.

"Mmm!" The will of the deep-sea little girl nodded happily.

“This time I want to provide a relatively safe training ground for Missouri and North Carolina. I’ve been thinking about it, and it seems like only you can help me. Can you help me protect their safety in this area of ​​the sea?” Xiaobai asked.

The Will of the Deep Sea nodded quickly, then gave North Carolina a look that said, "See, I really am the most powerful."

This time it was North Carolina's turn to pout.

Xiao Bai reached out and ruffled the hair of the two little girls in front of him, then looked at Missouri behind him.

Missouri was deeply shocked, but no matter what, in front of Xiaobai, even if Missouri was panicking inside, she had to put on a calm demeanor.

Missouri then smiled gently at Xiaobai: "Lu Lin, you are truly amazing."

"Thank you." Seeing that Missouri didn't react much, Xiaobai was a little relieved. "I thought you would be a little curious when you saw the Will of the Deep Sea."

Missouri smiled as she looked at Little White.

Missouri was more than just curious; she was absolutely terrified.

The will of the deep sea... let's set aside the last two words for now, this kid is from the deep sea. Although he looks completely different from those mindless deep-sea amphibious ships, no matter how different he is, he definitely doesn't seem to be on the side of humanity.

The reason why the Deep Sea Will is so obedient now is entirely because she is standing next to Xiaobai.

“Let’s go,” Little White said to Missouri.

"Where to?" Missouri was slightly taken aback.

"Let's go to the sea." Xiaobai pointed to the dark sea in front of him.

As Xiaobai pointed his finger towards the sea, the will of the deep-sea girl in Xiaobai's arms also raised her hand. Then, a rumbling sound came from the sea, and an enormous seawater hand emerged from beneath the surface, grabbing everyone in its palm and carrying them back to the surface of the sea.

Missouri stared at the scene before her, which seemed like magic, and her heart remained unsettled for a long time.

The giant sea wave pulled everyone rapidly towards the ocean until the coastline was no longer visible to the naked eye, at which point it slowly came to a stop suspended in mid-air.

From a distance, a huge black hand appears to stand on the sea like the shoulder of a giant, reminiscent of an ancient architectural site.

"Well done," Little White praised the Deep Sea Girl's Will. She turned to look at Missouri, who was standing beside her, quietly watching the sea.

Missouri is considered quite beautiful among the ship girls Xiaobai has seen. In Xiaobai's eyes, Missouri is always calm and composed, exuding the composure of a mature adult and the wonderful aura of a healthy woman's development.

She truly deserves to be one of Xiaobai's most respected older sisters.

“Missouri, you can jump now,” Little White said to Missouri.
