Elder brother's garrison

"Um... so does Miss Odin's place have heating?"

"You have ship equipment, what are you afraid of being cold for... There's no heating on the ship I live on."

"It's just a personal habit of mine," Xiaobai said, standing up from the beach and brushing the sand off her bottom. "I rented a temporary room in a hotel in the city today. Miss Odin, how about we go there?"

Although Odin appears to be positioned closer to humans than humans themselves, between them and the Abyssal Fleet, she doesn't interact much with humans beyond visiting them to purchase goods. When Xiaobai offered to take Odin to her side for a further discussion, Odin hesitated for a moment.

Fortunately, due to various reasons such as Sukhbaatar, the sky-piercing lasers, and the mountain of rapid repair devices, Odin was now a little embarrassed to refuse Xiaobai's invitation. After thinking about it for a while, she had no choice but to nod and agree to Xiaobai.

Before heading back to the city with Odin, Xiaobai checked the time. He realized that his battle with Odin had been short, so it wasn't too late.

On the way back, Odin followed quietly beside Little White.

Little White walked ahead of Odin, holding a bag of potato chips with an illegible brand name, and chewing them with great enthusiasm, his mouth bulging out.

Odin turned his head to look at Little White's arms and found that the potato chip packaging in her arms was actually a delicate little burlap sack.

"What brand of potato chips are you having?" Odin asked, watching Little White eat so happily.

"Ah? This?"

"Ah."

"These aren't potato chips. They're fragments of your ship's equipment," Xiaobai replied.

"???"

Three question marks popped up above Odin's head. She stared wide-eyed as Little White pulled a triangular black piece from the small sack in his arms, put it in his mouth, chewed it with a crunching sound, and then swallowed it.

Odin's ship equipment fragments... are actually similar to most ship girl ship equipment fragments. After they fall off from her own ship equipment, new ship equipment will regrow with the help of a rapid repair device. So these fragments are actually like human nail clippings and dandruff, there is no need to collect them back.

Therefore, when Odin watched Little White munching on his ship equipment like it was potato chips, he felt a subtle sense of physical discomfort.

"Is this... delicious?"

Odin asked with a complicated expression and some hesitation.

"Huh?" Xiaobai's hand, which was holding the ship equipment fragment, stopped in mid-air. She looked at the fragment between her fingers and thought for a while. "Uh... it probably won't taste very good... after all, I just roasted it with the laser cannon for a while, so it's a bit like... um... overcooked rice crust?"

Xiao Bai thought about it with some difficulty and finally came up with a very imaginative analogy.

"Do you have pica?"

"No, I eat normal food."

"Then why did you eat this?"

"Uh...maybe it's just a habit?"

"Why a question?"

"I don't know either..." Little White said to Odin with an embarrassed smile.

Anyway, Xiaobai has eaten ship equipment and deep-sea cores many times. Maybe he secretly regarded them as food, so when he saw Odin's ship equipment fragments floating on the sea, he picked them up as well, adhering to the principle of not wasting anything.

Odin put his arm around himself and took a step away from Little White.

Xiao Bai is a sentimental person, so in the first chapter, she naturally chose the hotel where she and Nia had stayed before.

More than half a year has passed, and the person at the hotel reception is still the same one. When Xiaobai came in, the staff member, who still remembered Xiaobai's appearance, carefully greeted him.

Xiaobai and Odin arrived at the door of their room.

Pushing open the door, Xiaobai saw Wisconsin with her back to the door, her pert buttocks sticking out as she lay on the floor, scrubbing the floor back and forth with a wet towel.

Wisconsin's hands moved rapidly and rhythmically on the floor.

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh, here it comes, here it comes—I can feel it, I can feel it, I can feel it—I'm eliminating all the bacteria on the floor, haha ​​...

Wisconsin laughed loudly.

Wisconsin?

"Huh?!" Wisconsin heard Xiaobai's voice and jumped up from the ground in fright. She turned around, her face flushed, and looked at Xiaobai in surprise, backing away in astonishment. "Admiral... how come you... are back so soon!"

"...Ah, I think I was late..."

"Missouri clearly said that Admiral, you're unlikely to be back before midnight!"

"Huh?" Xiaobai looked at Wisconsin strangely.

Just then, the bathroom door was pushed open, and Missouri poked her head out of the bathroom, clutching a towel, and looked at Little White at the door and Odin beside Little White.

"Ah, Admiral, you're back."

"Ah."

“…Let Missouri check the time.” Missouri raised his wrist and glanced at the watch. “The admiral is salvaging ships faster than before today.”

"What ship salvage?! No way!" Little White hurriedly waved his hand wildly at Missouri. "Miss Odin was invited back by me to ask about something, not to salvage a ship!"

"Everyone in Missouri understands."

"...Let's not talk about that...what was Wisconsin doing just now?"

"Wisconsin? She's learning to do housework."

"Oh? Oh... that must have been really difficult."

“Yeah.” Missouri came out of the bathroom, glanced at Odin who was standing hesitantly in the doorway, and then looked at Wisconsin. “Wisconsin.”

"what?"

"are you hungry?"

"I'm not hungry."

"Really?"

"..." Wisconsin and Missouri exchanged glances, their expressions suddenly turning serious. "No, I suddenly felt a little hungry."

"Oh, that's troublesome." Missouri happily ran up behind Wisconsin, pushed her shoulder, and followed her towards the door. "Admiral, Wisconsin and I are going out to buy some late-night snacks. Can we come back later?"

"Oh, sure."

"Good luck, Admiral!"

"Hmm." Xiaobai nodded, then suddenly paused, "Huh? What 'good luck'?"

Chapter 976 The agreement must be kept.

Missouri didn't answer Xiaobai's question. After pushing Wisconsin out of the room, she subtly pushed Odin, who was standing at the door, back into the room, and then slammed the door shut.

"……"noob.

“…” Odin.

Xiao Bai and Odin looked at each other, both feeling a little awkward.

"Ahem... Missouri was just joking," Little White whispered to Odin.

For a ship girl without a master, it would be quite impolite to just grab her in front of her. And Xiaobai really didn't intend to take Odin home this time. She explained to Odin somewhat solemnly.

Odin nodded and sat cross-legged on the floor.

"Is this the heated room?" Odin reached out and touched his neck, changing the subject from the awkward topic.

"Hmm. Do you feel warmer now?"

“This is unnecessary,” Odin muttered under his breath.

"Haha..." Xiaobai chuckled dryly twice.

"Did you stay here when you came here to take Sukhbaatar away before?"

"Ah."

"...How did you manage to take that person away?"

"Uh... this..." Xiaobai scratched his cheek.

How Sukhbaatar managed to take himself away is actually quite difficult to explain.

From Xiaobai's perspective, the situation at the time was that Veneto and Fubuki kidnapped the unarmed Sukhbaatar and brought him home.

"What's wrong?" Odin asked, noticing Xiaobai's hesitation.

"Uh... we were chatting and then... he came with me."

"Just through chatting?"

"Ah."

"How could you take Sukhbaatar away by just chatting? You didn't kidnap her, did you?"

"!!!"

"...No, Sukhbaatar is strong, he shouldn't have been kidnapped..."

"...Phew..." Xiaobai breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Then let's talk."

"what?"

"I want to see how you manage to get Sukhbaatar to your side."

"...Uh..." Xiaobai hesitated, "What do you want to talk about?"

“You came to me with a question, so just ask me normally,” Odin said.

“…Hmm.” Xiaobai nodded, thought for a while, and then, as if remembering something, clasped her hands together and bowed her head apologetically to Odin. “Um… actually, Miss Odin, there’s something I need to apologize to you about.”

"what happened?"

"On the sea, after I knocked you unconscious, I accessed your memories."

“…” Odin tilted his head. “Reading memories?”

"I'm very sorry," Xiaobai said again, expressing her apology.

Speaking of which, Little White really did a lot of outrageous things to Odin tonight.

On the sea, after Xiaobai hugged Odin, Xiaobai felt that he probably couldn't communicate with Odin normally. At the suggestion of the Deep Sea Will, Xiaobai read Odin's memories through the Deep Sea Will, wanting to avoid some troublesome processes and directly obtain some truth.

However, both Xiaobai and the Will of the Deep Sea greatly underestimated the size of Odin's memories.

As a super supply ship that has lived for over eighty years, Odin's spiritual power integrates nearly a century of her life experiences. Even the will of the deep sea would find it difficult to find the part it wants without harming Odin's spirit.

Xiao Bai previously watched Odin's memories like watching a movie, which was actually the will of the deep sea trying to trace the clues through several memorable segments of Odin's life.

The search for Odin's memories was only half successful. Although Xiaobai learned about Odin's general life experiences, it seemed that Odin didn't value the super construction machine he gave to Bai Ying. As a result, the Deep Sea Will searched through all the memorable parts of Odin's memories but still couldn't find any memory segments about that super construction machine.

"Can you see other people's memories?" Odin asked Little White.

"Mm." Xiaobai nodded.

"Oh... I don't really have any privacy anyway... and then, do you know what I'm looking for?"

Odin looked at Little White with a strange expression.

Surprisingly, Odin showed no anger at all when faced with the fact that his memories were being spied on by others—something that would make anyone unhappy if they knew.

"No..." Xiaobai lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly, "Well, actually I came from President Bai Ying's place..."

"Bai Ying??" Odin's eyes widened before Bai Ying could finish speaking. "You've met Bai Ying?"

"Uh...yes, we've met. May I ask, Miss Odin, what is your relationship with Sister Bai Ying?"

“…A friend I haven’t seen in a long time, right? I haven’t seen her since I came here.” Odin seemed to understand Xiao Bai’s purpose as soon as he heard the name Bai Ying. “Did she tell you that I left that strange construction device?”

"Oh dear." Xiaobai scratched his head sheepishly. "Well, that's why I came here. May I ask where Miss Odin got that construction device?"

“…” Odin raised his chin and gave Little White a meaningful look. “You are… interested in that construction device?”

"Um, can you tell me?"

"It's not a big deal, and it's not like I can't tell you."

"Ah, that's wonderful!" Little White exclaimed gratefully. "Thank you, Miss Odin. Where did you get that construction device?"

"What's the point of talking about getting or not getting... that thing is the construction device that created me," Odin replied to Little White.

“…Oh?” Xiaobai was taken aback.

Odin's answer didn't surprise Xiaobai; on the contrary, it gave him a sense of "I knew it."

After all, the construction device that Xiaobai brought back to the human city was one that Sukhbaatar claimed to have built himself.
