Elder brother's garrison

After the exercises with Little White and Rome, Iowa watched Little White on the sea surface as if admiring a masterpiece.

Iowa seemed to be enjoying himself, but along with that enjoyment, there was also a hint of inexplicable anticipation in his expression.

Seemingly sensing Veneto's gaze, Iowa, who was admiring Little White, turned her head and looked in Veneto's direction.

Iowa smiled and nodded at Veneto.

Veneto turned his gaze away.

"Oh dear... Although Roma did her best to dodge the admiral's first shot, it seems that even a battleship like Roma is helpless against the admiral's ironclad defense... After all, the admiral's offensive and defensive capabilities are just too perfect..." Yubari sighed as she tallied up the data for herself, "I have to say, Roma's fighting spirit is really strong... Even at this point, she doesn't seem discouraged at all."

“Because she knows that if she lets the water out, she’ll never have dinner again,” Veneto said.

"..." Yubari gave a helpless, bitter smile.

“Just kidding.” Veneto shook her head, glancing at Rome circling the little white fish on the sea. A hint of a smile appeared deep in her eyes. “Rome is the kind of person who never gives up, and…”

"And?" Yubari tilted his head.

“The Admiral’s defense isn’t perfect either,” Veneto said. “...Rome isn’t without a chance if they really want to win.”

"what?"

“You know Missouri and Iowa too, right?” Veneto pointed to Missouri.

Yubari followed Veneto's finger and looked toward Missouri.

"Missouri...you've spotted the Admiral's weakness?"

Missouri turned her head and gave Yubari an embarrassed smile.

"The admiral's ship armor is flawless, Missouri has no weaknesses... except..."

"only?"

“The Admiral’s ship rigging is land-based. When the Roman senior fired, the rigging always enveloped the Admiral’s body at the deepest point—but in reality, she could withstand the Roman senior’s attacks simply by virtue of the field of view. So this action should have been a rather superfluous one.” Missouri lowered her head, pondered for a moment, and then smiled at Yubari with narrowed eyes: “The Admiral’s ship rigging is not a ship girl’s ship rigging after all, so the Admiral’s body… should not have any heavily damaged defensive field.”

“In other words, even though the Admiral’s ship equipment is far superior to ours, the Admiral’s body—does not have the invincible defense that the Admiral’s ship equipment possesses. In other words, the Admiral himself is the Admiral’s weakness,” Veneto said to Yubari.

"Hmm... but the admiral's body is tightly protected in the center by the ship's equipment, isn't it?"

“So, weaknesses are relative after all… Compared to the ship's armored defenses that are completely impenetrable, the Admiral’s physical defenses are much weaker, so there’s only a slight chance of breaking through.” Veneto glanced at the sea as she said this, “After all, the Admiral is just a land-based unit and can’t move at high speeds during combat, so this weakness will be magnified a lot in her… Rome should have noticed this by now, right?”

"Rome has already noticed?"

"Ah."

"Huh? Doesn't that mean Rome might beat the Admiral?"

“Impossible, the Admiral won’t lose. But… as for Rome… at least we can cause her some trouble.” Veneto looked at the two people on the sea, turned her head to look at Iowa, who seemed to be expecting something, and a proud smile appeared on her lips.

Boom boom boom boom

The Roman cannonballs exploded in mid-air, creating bursts of black and red fire.

Taking advantage of the firelight, Rome raced swiftly around Little White's ship.

What is it like to be a ship girl and have an exhilarating exercise with your admiral?

That's the feeling of Rome.

—She finally understood why ship girls and admirals had a subordinate relationship.

As Rome practiced with Xiaobai, every time they fired a shot, they felt a deep sense of despair in the face of Xiaobai's invincible defensive position.

That kind of despair is a despair based on fundamental attributes.

In her practice against Veneto, Roma said that although she had never won, she still had room for maneuver. Roma knew that she lost only because she was bad at the game, and at least she could still try to make a graceful exit.

However, it's different from Xiaobai's rehearsal.

The exercise with Xiaobai has completely transcended the question of whether he is good or bad; it is an unequal duel between two races.

It's like a level 1 player facing a fully equipped max-level account, feeling the despair of not being able to break through the opponent's defense with their own attacks, and the opponent being able to kill them with a single slap.

--but.

Despite the vast difference, Rome felt it wasn't without a chance.

Rome stared into the distance at the little white ship standing in front of the land-based ship equipment, completely unfazed, intently trying to activate the ship equipment that was on cooldown.

The admiral's ship equipment is indestructible.

But at least the admiral's main body... is her weakness. Every time she fires a cannon, the admiral's ship equipment will protect her completely.

The admiral is not a ship girl after all. Although the admiral has invincible ship equipment, there are still many, many, many, many areas where she is not proficient in the application of ship equipment.

As expected, compared to struggling against an iron wall, as long as I rely on my combat experience and training to get close to the admiral, I should have a chance of victory.

The admiral has been so good to him; Rome wouldn't do something like hurting Xiaobai.

Therefore, you can't fire at close range, but if you can get close enough to pat the admiral on the shoulder or play dirty and flick the admiral on the head to prove that you have further strength, then this exercise can indeed be regarded as your victory.

However, the problem lies in this.

Although it's easy to say that the matter of getting close to the admiral is trivial.

But how can I get close to him...?

"Hiss hiss hiss—"

Suddenly, hot air rose from Xiaobai's ship equipment.

Just then, before Rome could even make up its mind, Xiaobai's ship equipment cooldown finally finished.

The massive turrets once again extended from the white ship's rigging, pointing towards Rome.

"Now! We can't let the admiral fire again!"

Rome, on a sudden impulse, stopped abruptly and fired several shots at Little White.

A line of meteors hurtled toward Xiaobai, exploding in front of him with a deafening roar and creating a thick cloud of black smoke.

Little White, who was struggling to aim at Rome, suddenly froze for a few seconds because his vision had turned black.

"Sizzle s ...————"

Then, the laser cannon fired again.

The massive laser cannon pierced through the dense blackness in an instant. With Xiaobai's vigorous shaking, the laser cannon became like a blade of light, sweeping across the waters behind the thick fog and roaring loudly on the sea surface.

"Did it hit?" Xiaobai murmured, controlling the laser cannon.

There was a crash.

Rome, like a rabbit, leaped out of the water in front of Xiaobai, splashing a large spray of water all over him.

"Eh?!!"

Xiao Bai was startled when Roma suddenly appeared in front of her by water escape. Her face turned pale, and she subconsciously closed her eyes, raised her arm to cover her face, and bent down.

"Succeeded!!"

Seeing that Xiaobai had given up resisting, Roma, who had jumped out, was overjoyed. She stretched out her wet hand and made a move to grab Xiaobai.

"Boss, I... I did it..."

Just as Rome's palm was about to touch Little White.

Sudden.

A chill rose from behind Rome.

Xiao Bai, who had her eyes closed and was covering her face with her arms, suddenly reached out and, with lightning speed, grabbed Roma's wrist tightly.

Xiaobai's reaction was so sudden that even Rome itself couldn't react immediately.

"Huh???"

Rome, who was suspended in mid-air, froze for a moment. In that instant, she felt an immense force coming from Xiaobai's wrist, which pulled her down from mid-air.

midair.

A head of silver hair danced in the wind.

In Rome's view, right before Rome's eyes, Xiaobai slowly opened its eyes.

Rome was dumbfounded.

The little white thing that now appeared before Rome had a completely different look from the usual gentle and tender little white thing; it was extremely cold and sharp, like the gaze of a high and mighty queen.

This feeling.

It was as if my own admiral had suddenly become a different person.

The massive impact left Rome speechless, staring blankly at the white car, unable to make any other move.

"Little White" expressionlessly extended his other hand, gently pinched his thumb and middle finger together, and then slowly moved it to Rome's smooth forehead.

"Boom"

A tremendous force erupted onto Rome's forehead in an instant.

Rome was momentarily stunned.

Rome, after being hit on the head by "Little White," felt as if she had been struck hard by a heavy truck. After letting out a "Ouch!", she flew far away from where she was standing.

Chirp.

Rome tumbled into the water with a gurgling sound.

"Little White" stood still, one foot on the main gun of the land-based ship, glanced at the Rome that had crashed into the distant sea, and gently blew on his fingernail.

weakness?

Xiao Bai's weakness is himself, something that is extremely obvious.

The will of the deep sea is naturally clearer than anyone else's.

Chapter 1247 The Non-Existent Carrier-Based Aircraft

on the coast.

Rome skillfully avoided Xiaobai's laser cannon and approached Xiaobai's main body by using water escape and smoke. However, the scene of being sent flying more than ten meters away by Xiaobai with a flick of its finger at the moment of contact was witnessed by the ship girls.

Most of the ship girls on the shore were startled by this scene.

"Missouri! Missouri, did you see that?!" While Veneto and Yubari were still in surprise, only Iowa, with a blush on her face, excitedly grabbed Missouri's arm, looking like a little fangirl who had finally waited for her idol to appear. She pointed her pink finger at the little white figure on the sea and waved it back and forth, "That's it, that's it! The Admiral is finally serious!"

With a blissful smile on his face, Iowa held Missouri's wrist and shouted towards the sea.

The usually calm and composed Iowa was now as excited as a destroyer, and her excited voice echoed across the entire coastline.

……

With Rome instantly defeated by Xiaobai with a flick of his finger, the exercise between Xiaobai and Rome came to an end.

Although there is still some time before the half hour that Shiro promised Yubari is over, given that Shiro no longer has any rivals, Shiro's ship equipment test has to come to an end, whether Yubari likes it or not.

Xiaobai stood on the sea for a while, then ran to where Rome had fallen, squatted down and pulled the star-eyed Rome out of the water.

Rome, having been struck by Xiaobai's magical flick of the finger, had lost consciousness and lay on the water's surface with its eyes darting around like mosquito coils. Even Rome's smooth forehead was now slightly red, and a thin, long wisp of white smoke drifted from its reddened forehead.

how to say.

It was a defeat that truly had a Roman flair.

Having retrieved Rome, Xiaobai drove the massive land-based ship equipment around the entire training ground again, retrieving the other ship girls she had previously trained with and placing them on the land-based ship equipment.

After retrieving the ship girls, Xiaobai slowly drove her ship equipment to shore. Carrying the star-studded Rome and dragging a pile of ship girls that was almost a small mountain, she walked onto the shore.

“Veneto…” Little White had just carried Roma ashore when Veneto approached. Little White waved sheepishly at Veneto, “Um, sorry, I… Roma, she…”

"It's alright, Roma is very resilient, and there's always some physical contact during exercises. Admiral, you've already gone easy on Roma, so don't worry about it."

Veneto shook her head at Little White. Just as she walked up to Little White, Rome, who was leaning against Little White in a daze, fell towards Veneto.

Veneto took Roma's body, and seeing the white smoke rising from Roma's forehead, Veneto couldn't help but laugh.

"Actually... I should have lost the exercise..." Xiaobai said awkwardly to Veneto.

“Admiral, you don’t need to give Roma any face. Didn’t you raise your hand in the end and defeat Roma with a beautiful flick of your finger?” Veneto said to Xiaobai as he helped Roma up and laid her flat on the cement ground.

"Uh..." Xiaobai scratched his cheek, his face turning red.

Actually, the person who snapped Rome's fingers during the exercise just now wasn't Xiaobai, but rather the deep-sea will within Xiaobai's spiritual world.
