After that, Xiaobai left the courtyard with the ship girls who had almost finished tidying up. After looking around the place where she had lived for almost a month and was gradually becoming familiar with it, Xiaobai ran back to her naval base.

Today is another peaceful and happy day in the newbie garrison.
After having breakfast, Sukhbaatar yawned as he carried his fishing rod from the garrison to the gate.
"Sunday morning is all white, and the ship girls who collect scraps are lined up in rows~" Sukhbaatar hummed as she ran to the dock and lightly jumped onto a small wooden boat.
This is something Sukhbaatar made himself while the admiral and ship girls were away at the naval base.
Having lived on a ship at sea for so long, Sukhbaatar suddenly felt like something was missing when he was sleeping in a house on land.
Sukhbaatar sat in the canoe, feeling the swaying of the deck, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Boats are so much better," Sukhbaatar sighed contentedly, then flung his dried fish hard toward the sea. The silvery line flew from the tip of the fishing rod, landed on the water, and finally settled down peacefully.
Sukhbaatar pulled a dried squid out of his clothes, took a bite, then sat down on the side of the boat, changed his position, and leaned back comfortably.
—How peaceful.
Sukhbaatar gripped his fishing rod, his small feet crossed over his legs inside the boat.
The world's number one, invincible, most powerful, and most valiant star destroyer ship girl, Sukhbaatar, is enjoying her pleasant life today.
"It's still not as good as the little boat I lived with Odin in the first chapter... but you have to keep looking forward." Sukhbaatar hummed as he held his fishing rod.
She was half-pushed and half-dragged back to the naval base by the admiral of this base to become a ship girl, and she has almost gotten used to this setting.
Although the reason Sukhbaatar initially pulled himself back was because there were many interesting things to do here and a small salary, based on his experience living here for a few months, life here, while initially quite novel, was actually rather monotonous overall.
"Ah... I haven't been tricked, have I..." Sukhbaatar said leisurely, munching on dried squid while gazing at the sky.
"...Never mind, it doesn't matter." Sukhbaatar closed his eyes, preparing to go back to sleep.
"boom!!!"
However, at that moment, a torpedo exploded with a loud bang on the sea not far away, sending up several meters of water splashing into the sky before slamming down hard on Sukhbaatar's small boat.
"Huh? Ahhhhh!" Sukhbaatar was lamenting how boring life was just a second ago, but the next second he was drenched in a downpour and tumbled up from his small wooden boat.
The waves kept churning Sukhbaatar's small wooden boat, nearly capsizing her and the boat several times.
"Hahahahahahahahahaha!" In the distance, a little girl with blue hair emerged from the water, clutching her stomach and pointing at another part of the water.
On the water surface pointed to by the blue-haired little girl, U81 quietly rose from the water, with three small wolf cubs, each the size of a sesame ball, perched on her head.
"Gotcha! u81! Next time it's your turn to be 'it' in hide-and-seek!" u47 shouted at u81.
"..." U81 gradually sank to the surface of the water.
U47 also pinched its nose and jumped on the surface of the sea, then twisted its whole body and plunged back into the water with a splash.
After a few seconds.
"Boom!"
Another splash of water rose on the sea surface.
"Hey!" Sukhbaatar, soaking wet, stood on the small wooden boat, clenching his little fists and yelling at the sea, "You two little brats, go play somewhere else! How am I supposed to fish with all this banging around!"
u47's little head popped out next to Sukhbaatar's small wooden boat: "Oh, Sukhbaatar, you're here."
"Who gave you permission to call me by my first name! Call me Lord Su!"
“…Hoo hoo hoo.” U47 looked at Sukhbaatar’s angry expression, then a smile appeared on her face. “Lord Sukhbaatar is fishing today too.”
"Hmph, of course."
“But there’s no bait on your hook yet.” U47 raised one hand, holding Sukhbaatar’s hook, which was slippery.
"Fishing is all about the ambiance, what do you kids know!" Sukhbaatar blushed, only then realizing that he had been so engrossed in enjoying life that he had forgotten to bait the hook. But he was too embarrassed to be caught out, so he could only grit his teeth and bear it.
"It's all about the fun," u47 thought for a moment. "What's so fun about fishing?"
"How would you little brats understand? Humph, hurry up and go, this great one still wants to slack off."
u47 pouted.
"Hmph." U47 gave a soft hum and then sank into the water.
Sukhbaatar quickly reeled in his fishing line and hook, looked around, and then hurriedly searched for his bait.
Just then, U47, which had just sunk to the bottom of the water, floated up from one side of the small wooden boat, then gave a wicked smile and grabbed Sukhbaatar's arm in a flash.
"Huh?" Before Sukhbaatar could even shout, he was pulled to the bottom of the water by U47.
"Hahahahahahahaha————" U47, having successfully exacted his revenge, strode away with a string of laughs.
Today, Lord Su is as weak as ever.
Chapter 572 Fishing
"Hey!" Sukhbaatar struggled in the water for a long time before finally managing to get back onto the boat, her clothes completely soaked through. She gritted her teeth, glaring fiercely at the sea, her fishing rod thrashing about. "You dared to ambush me! Do you know who I am?! I am…"
"Hehehe!" But before Sukhbaatar could finish speaking, U47 floated up from the water and made a face at Sukhbaatar.
After making a funny face, U47 turned her head and then dived into the water like a carp. Her fair little feet kicked the surface of the sea like a fish tail, splashing up a small clump of water.
Sukhbaatar stood frozen on the ship, watching the U47 disappear into the water.
After a while, Sukhbaatar lowered his head and began to slowly smile.
"Hehehehehehehehehehe————" Blood-red flames slowly began to burn in Sukhbaatar's red eyes. Her body was constantly emitting wisps of white steam, and the intense heat instantly dried her wet clothes. "As expected of a submarine that fears neither heaven nor earth, it doesn't even give me face and dares to plot against me..."
"If I don't blow up this entire ocean today, I'm not the world's number one ship girl!" Sukhbaatar raised her hands high, her whole body radiating a golden glow, and the wooden boat beneath her feet began to tremble incessantly.
"Apologies are useless! Even kneeling before me won't help! Today, I will act on behalf of Heaven!" Sukhbaatar laughed wildly as he stepped off the boat, taking an unstoppable step towards the sea. "You'll all regret this!"
With two loud booms, as her feet slammed into the water, two huge muffled sounds instantly echoed from beneath the tranquil sea.
Two high sprays of water rose from the surface of the water, and in an instant, they fell onto the sea like rain. A large amount of seawater fell around Sukhbaatar, but was instantly evaporated by the golden heat. Amidst the swirling water vapor, Sukhbaatar really did have a bit of a boss feel to him.
U47 and U81 were jolted out of the seabed by Sukhbaatar's kick. They floated in the spray from the two loud explosions before finally crashing back onto the surface.
"Ouch!" U47 crashed face-first into the sea.
With a fierce fighting spirit burning throughout his body, Sukhbaatar approached U47 step by step: "Little carp!"
"Hey!" U47 looked at Sukhbaatar in surprise as he walked towards her step by step. "What are you going to do..."
"How dare you disturb my rest and even plot against me! I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!" A hint of excitement rose on Sukhbaatar's young face. "I'm going to give you a good spanking today! Eighty strokes!"
"Eek!" U47, seeing Sukhbaatar's serious expression, instinctively covered her bottom and looked at Sukhbaatar with a nervous expression. "Uh... Lord Sukhbaatar, is it too late to apologize now?"
"Too late!" Sukhbaatar snorted heavily, then pounced on U47's body. Sukhbaatar's strength was immense, and U47 couldn't resist her movements at all. She let herself be picked up by Sukhbaatar, who then ripped off her panties, revealing her snow-white buttocks.
With a loud crack, like the first firecracker of the Spring Festival, a bright red handprint was etched onto U47's buttocks like a stamp.
"Eek! It really hit me!!!" u47 felt a tingling and crackling pain surge up her buttocks to her head, and her face turned red instantly.
"Seventy-nine more!" Sukhbaatar laughed wildly as he stretched out his little hand. "Little carp! Your death star is burning brightly in the sky!"
"It's morning now!!!"
"Hahahaha, the second one is coming! Get ready, you little vixen!"
"She's a ship girl!"
"You'll scream your lungs out and no one will come to save you, hahahahahaha!"
"I'll really die if I get hit eighty times! Even if I were a ship girl, I'd still die!"
"If I slap you, you'll become a silly idiot who can only whine and cry!!" Sukhbaatar laughed wildly, seemingly quite enjoying his current persona.
Sukhbaatar raised a hand, as if to slap the U47's rear end with sparks and lightning.
"Whoosh!" Just then, several buses drove towards the naval base from a road far away, billowing thick smoke.
Sukhbaatar and the U47 beneath him were fooling around one second, but the next second they stared blankly at the bus.
Several buses pulled up in front of the naval base, and then the ship girls quickly disembarked.
Ah, the sea, my home!
"I'm getting fat!"
"sleep!"
"Finally back at the naval base! I was so carsick."
The ship girls chattered as they got off the bus, stretching and breathing in the sea air.
Then, the white-haired female admiral slowly stepped off the bus, surrounded by the ship girls.
"It feels like it's been ages since I've been back..." Xiaobai sighed as he looked at his naval base.
"It should be about a month, Admiral," Rodney said with a smile, linking arms with his sister beside Xiaobai.
"Hahaha." Xiaobai chuckled, then exchanged a meaningful glance with Missouri for a moment.
For me, this journey is much more than just a month...
"Once you get off the bus, you're all free to do as you please. Don't worry about me," Xiaobai said with a smile to the ship girls around her.
The ship girls cheered and then walked towards the gate of the naval base in twos and threes.
Among the group of ship girls, the pink-haired ship girl in black was the fastest. Seeing Tirpitz's agile appearance, Xiaobai thought that someone else had taken her place.
"Ah... um, Admiral..." As Xiaobai was thinking, a ship girl called out to him from the side.
Xiaobai turned her head and found Baltimore blushing and looking down at her with some embarrassment.
"Baltimore is thinking about where she'll be staying, isn't she?" Xiaobai looked at Baltimore and smiled gently. "Come with me to the Admiral's office later, and I'll give you the key to the Heavy Cruiser's accommodation building. Have you decided where you want to stay?"
“…Then…” Baltimore looked at Little White, and a radiant light instantly appeared on his face.
"Are you Aoba and Quincy? You seem to be getting along very well."
"Uh... um, no... ah, it's not that I don't want to live with them, it's just... I need to..."
Baltimore talked for a long time but couldn't come up with a coherent explanation. In the end, he could only look at Xiaobai dejectedly and say, "Then I'll just live next to the boss..."
“…Boss?” Xiaobai was taken aback.
“It’s me.” Behind Baltimore, Washington reached out and pulled Baltimore into his arms, then nodded to Little White. “This child still needs some tempering. Let her stay here with me temporarily for now. Anyway, my house is big enough. Right now, it’s just me and North Carolina living here.”
"Oh... okay then."
“Then she and I will be going now.” Washington smiled, then pulled Baltimore and North Carolina toward the naval base.
—Washington is the boss again.
Little White watched Washington's retreating figure and pondered for a while.
But whatever, the eldest sister sounds like a woman, which is better than the eldest brother.
"Xiaobai, want to go back and play games?" Just as Xiaobai was thinking, Saratoga popped up behind him and stuck to him like a piece of chewing gum.
“Okay, but not now. Saratoga, why don’t you go find Tirpitz first?” Little White nodded to Saratoga.
"Xiao Bai, is there something you need?"
"Yes, I need to find Lord Su," Xiaobai said.
“…Oh.” Saratoga thought for a moment. Sukhbaatar wasn’t much of a threat, so she let it go. After that, she waved to the little white dog and took off running towards Bismarck’s house.
"Little White, are you looking for Sukhbaatar?" Lexington asked curiously.
"Yes."
"What's the matter?"
"Let's catch up." Xiaobai smiled at Lexington.
Lexington was amused by Xiaobai's words. She smiled, then took Mia's hand and walked towards the office building.
The previously crowded gates of the naval base quickly became less crowded. After confirming that no ship girls had fallen asleep and forgotten to get off on the buses, Xiaobai greeted the driver and said goodbye to the bus with a thumbs-up from him.
The bus made a turn and headed back the way it came.
Missouri roughly understood why Xiaobai wanted to see Sukhbaatar, so she didn't leave but stayed by Xiaobai's side.
Missouri's current status is Xiaobai's "doting wife". She just got her wedding ring and is now the one who has surpassed Xiaobai. She is in the midst of a passionate relationship. With her by Xiaobai's side, Xiaobai's ship girls can only be angry but dare not say anything.
"Does the Admiral want to discuss the issue of the missing lineage with Senior Sukhbaatar?" Missouri asked in a low voice to Xiaobai.
"Does Missouri have anything to say?" Little White nodded, watching the bus drive off the way it came.
