Elder brother's garrison

"..."

"..."

Listening to that series of pleasant gurgling sounds, Xiao Bai really didn't have the confidence to say that Bai Ying could take care of herself.

Forget it.

Anyway, Xiaobai felt that he, his ship girl, and Abyssal Yamato had been standing there staring at that side for most of the day, and it would be quite impolite not to go over and say hello.

Furthermore, Xiao Bai is now quite curious as to why Bai Ying, who has lived honestly in Wisconsin for eighty years, would suddenly come here.

Xiao Bai walked towards Bai Ying and reached her side under Bai Ying's gaze.

"Excuse me, are you Sister Bai Ying?" After arriving at Bai Ying's side, Xiao Bai cautiously asked in a low voice.

"..." Bai Ying looked at Xiao Bai quietly without saying a word.

"...Sister Bai Ying, do you remember me? I'm Lu Lin. I visited you before." Xiao Bai squatted down in front of Bai Ying and asked, "Um, may I ask what brings you here this time, Sister Bai Ying?"

"..."

"Sister Bai Ying?"

"..."

"Excuse me, did Sister Bai Ying hear what I said?"

"...Gurgle gurgle..."

Bai Ying remained silent, but the rumbling in her stomach was clearly audible.

Shiro, Yamato, Akagi, and Kaga all lowered their heads and looked towards Bai Ying's stomach.

“…Uh…” Xiao Bai hesitated for a moment, then looked at Bai Ying somewhat awkwardly.

"...Um...Anyway, Sister Bai Ying, would you like to eat something with us first?"

"Hmm," Bai Ying finally spoke.

On the beach in Chapter 1016, Xiaobai stood on the shore, tiptoeing and gazing into the depths of the sea.

Before Xiaobai's eyes, the sea was a deep blue, and countless ship girls were like dumplings being dropped into a pot, setting off from the shore in single-line formations, advancing continuously towards the sea.

The ship girls disappeared from Xiaobai's sight, and soon after, the sound effects of planes taking off and anti-submarine raids came urgently.

Normally, at any sea node, even standing on the shore, one could hear the sound of cannon fire coming from the sea. However, at this moment, Xiaobai was standing on the shore of Chapter Six, and felt that the sound of cannon fire was the least heard in the entire sea.

To the naked eye, the sea surface here appears to be perfectly fine.

Xiao Bai closed his eyes, allowing the will of the deep sea in his spiritual world to control his body for a while, and tried his best to feel the sea surface in front of him.

After a while, the will of the deep sea gradually sank back into the spiritual world, returning control of the body to Xiaobai.

"Is there any result?"

Xiao Bai asked to himself.

As soon as the words were spoken, a feeling of information being transmitted into the mind followed.

Because the surrounding ship girls are completely different from the wooden figures in the previous chapters, the Deep Sea Will cannot scan the sea area with high precision when these ship girls are around, so the information she gave this time is somewhat vague.

Xiao Bai sensed the information transmitted to him by the will of the deep sea.

The message the will of the deep sea transmitted to me was a map. Below the map was a city, and above it was a pure black sea.

In the pure black sea, countless tiny red dots covered the depths, creating a rather eerie sight.

This is the limit that Deepsea Will can achieve without disturbing the surrounding ship girls.

"Thank you!"

After memorizing the map and quietly thanking her, Xiaobai turned around and squeezed back to the very back of the beach from the shore full of ship girls.

Even on the beaches of high-level sea areas, there are bound to be some deep-sea resentments. Humans will experience some health problems if they stay on the beach for too long. Therefore, on the beach in Chapter Six, there is only one lonely self-service restaurant specifically for ship girls.

Xiao Bai pushed open the restaurant door and walked in sideways.

Just opened the door.

The crisp sound of chopsticks shoveling rice reached Xiaobai's ears.

There were very few ship girls in the restaurant, only Akagi, Kaga, and Abyssal Yamato. They were huddled around one side of a table, idly staring at Bai Ying sitting opposite them.

Under everyone's gaze, Bai Ying was currently holding a bowl of rice and shoveling it into her mouth. Bai Ying's eating posture was very elegant, neither too restrained nor too rough, but what was surprising was how fast she ate. At this moment, the several plates of steaming stir-fried dishes in front of her were already empty, and the empty plates reflected a thin layer of oil under the light.

Beside Bai Ying, there were seven or eight empty bowls, each about the size of a palm, stacked together. In the top empty bowl, there wasn't even a single grain of rice left.

From a distance, the stack of rice bowls was almost as high as Bai Ying was sitting in her seat.

—A big eater.

Xiao Bai looked at Bai Ying, who was wholeheartedly eating her meal, with mixed feelings.

—How many days must they have gone hungry...?

Upon seeing Shiro return, the sharp-eyed Deep Sea Yamato immediately raised his hand and waved at Shiro.

"Little White, you're back! How's it going over the sea?"

"Everything looks normal outside, and there doesn't seem to be any danger. It seems we'll have to wait another week."

Xiao Bai sat down next to Shen Hai Yamato and looked at Bai Ying.

As soon as I sat down.

Ok……

Ok?

Why does my butt feel so rough?

Chapter 1017 The Mysterious Rod-Shaped Object

Xiao Bai subconsciously reached under his buttocks and touched it, then pulled out a long, thin object, about half a person's height, tightly wrapped in a piece of cloth.

"This is..." Xiaobai looked at the long, thin object in her hand with curiosity, finding it rather strange.

"Her things were a bit in the way when she was eating after she sat down, so I told her to put them there for now," Akagi explained to Shiro.

"Uh...this is for Sister Bai Ying...I'm so sorry, so sorry..."

Xiao Bai then realized that she had sat on Bai Ying's things, and she quickly pushed the stick-like object in her hand to the other end of the seat.

It's definitely not polite to touch other people's things without permission, especially when you actually sit on them...

Xiao Bai recalled the feel of the object from earlier and prayed in his heart that it wasn't something fragile.

Xiao Bai was still waiting for Bai Ying's reply, but Bai Ying was still engrossed in her rice bowl, seemingly oblivious to the fact that Xiao Bai had touched her things.

Everyone watched quietly as Bai Ying finished the bowl of rice in her hand.

Bai Ying put down her bowl, picked up the bottled water beside her, and gulped down several mouthfuls before finally letting out a sigh of relief and letting out a small exhale.

"Sister Bai Ying, are you full?" Xiao Bai asked softly when she saw that Bai Ying didn't seem to want to eat more.

"Mm." Bai Ying nodded, her eyes finally showing some warmth.

"Ah...it really is Sister Bai Ying." Xiao Bai patted his chest. "Sister Bai Ying, how did you end up in Chapter Six all the way from the nursing home?"

"Something's up." After finishing her meal, Bai Ying seemed to have more energy to reply.

"What's going on?"

“…Come and take a look.”

"...Oh...but, but how did you get in here, Sister Bai Ying? The security guard at the gate in Chapter Six needs to verify your information, right?"

"promise."

Bai Ying reached into her clothes and pulled out a governor's certificate.

On the admiral's certificate that Bai Ying took out, the name Bai Ying was clearly written in the place, and the naval base number on the other side also had a string of zeros in front of it, which means that she belonged to a fairly early batch of admirals.

"Huh??? Sister Bai Ying, you...you're the Admiral??"

Xiao Bai looked at Bai Ying in surprise.

"Ah."

"Uh... where are your ship girls?"

"..." Bai Ying put away her admiral's certificate and remained silent, seemingly not very keen on answering the question.

"...I'm sorry..." Xiaobai bowed her head and apologized to Bai Ying.

Bai Ying shook her head and remained silent for a moment before saying, "The food was delicious, thank you."

The conversation ended there, and the already uncomfortably quiet atmosphere at the dinner table became even more tense.

Xiao Bai sat in the chair, rocked back and forth a couple of times, and then stood up: "Well, Sister Bai Ying, it's nice to see you here. Um, we have something to do next... so we won't bother you any longer."

Akagi and Kaga bid farewell to Bai Ying one by one and left their seats.

When Yamato saw Shiro leave, he quickly got down from his seat and went to Shiro's side.

After paying the bill for Bai Ying, the four of them left the restaurant.

Stepping out of the restaurant, the lively sounds of the beach filled my ears once again.

"Ah~~~" After leaving the restaurant, Deep Sea Yamato shivered slightly and snuggled close to Shiro's body. "...Ugh...So cold..."

"Yamato-neechan, wasn't your ship rigging already repaired? Why are you still cold?"

“It’s not the temperature that’s cold, it’s a feeling like I’m being watched… That woman is definitely suspicious!” Yamato Fukami said, his face slightly uncomfortable. “She’s fine when she’s eating, but when she’s not eating, every time she looks at me, I feel a chill down the back of my neck, like there’s a knife stuck in there.”

"...What does that feel like?"

"I felt cold sweat pouring down my back, my hair standing on end, and a cold wind blowing behind me, like someone was following me... Yes, yes, right now, right now!"

The fearless Yamato rubbed his arms, frowning as he spoke, glancing back at his back.

Bai Ying, holding a long, thin object, was quietly following behind Shen Hai Yamato.

Bai Ying, expressionless, raised her head and met the gaze of Shen Hai Yamato.

"..."

"..."

"—Oh my god!!!"

Deep Sea Yamato screamed and jumped up from where she stood, rushing to Xiaobai's side. She stared in horror at Bai Ying behind her, stammering, "You you you you you you..."

Everyone turned around and saw Bai Ying, who had somehow caught up with them again.

"Sister Bai Ying???" Xiao Bai looked at Bai Ying in surprise.

Bai Ying nodded silently.

"Um, Sister Bai Ying, is there anything else you need..."

"money."

"Uh... money?"

"money."

"Ah, oh no... I know what money means, no need to change the language to explain... cough cough... um, may I ask, Sister Bai Ying, you are perhaps..."

"We're out of money," Bai Ying said softly, clutching the strips of cloth in her hands and looking down.

"……"noob.

"I'm so hungry," Bai Ying said softly, clutching her stomach.

"..."

Oh, I get it.

Xiao Bai looked at Bai Ying, who was standing in front of him with her head down, and felt a mix of emotions.

This person at the nursing home seemed to be living a life of luxury, not at all like someone who lacked money. In Odin's memory, he was a tycoon who spent money like water eighty years ago. Who would have thought that he would end up in such a miserable state after just one trip...

It's true what they say, fortunes change every thirty years.

At least the person in front of her had always treated her well, and she had some connections with Wisconsin and Odin, so Xiao Bai didn't mind helping Bai Ying out.
