The non-European construction machine sucks in a storm of resources, emitting strange sounds like a microwave oven spinning.
After the company completed the procedural work, it put its hands on its hips, turned around, and smiled at Xiaobai.
"Admiral, is this alright?"
"Yes, sure, sure." Xiaobai nodded with a smile.
"Speaking of which, what kind of ship girls are we going to build?" Enterprise asked again.
“Littorio.” Little White nodded.
“Littorio… oh… Littorio.” Enterprise shook her head, murmuring the name as she stepped off the control panel.
The ship girl construction facility is still operating, and it is uncertain whether the construction will be successful within a few minutes.
This gives Xiaobai the perfect opportunity to have a good chat with the ship girls around her.
“Speaking of which, Veneto,” Little White said to Veneto, “when did you start wanting to meet Littorio?”
“Me?” Veneto tilted her head slightly, crossed her arms and thought for a moment before replying to Little White, “Hmm… let me think about it, it was probably… about a month ago.”
"so early?"
“Yes, after all, for the past two months, I’ve been watching the other me in Admiral Nia’s household almost every day, being all lovey-dovey with her three younger sisters.” Veneto seemed a little confused about her own feelings. She gently tapped her snow-white forehead with her fingers as she answered, “Actually, at first I thought having my two younger sisters by my side was enough, but after a while, seeing them spending time together every day, I just… Admiral, you know what I mean.”
"I understand, I understand." Xiaobai nodded with a smile.
Simply put... Veneto was envious.
Quite reasonable.
After all, other sisters are always together, all happy and harmonious. Even if she doesn't have the idea of comparing herself to them, it's normal for Veneto to feel a little envious after watching them for a long time.
To be honest, Xiaobai had considered whether or not to create a final sister for Veneto.
However, at that time, Veneto seemed to be living a fulfilling and satisfying life, with a younger sister on each side, and didn't seem to need another sister to accompany him. Xiaobai thought about it and realized that if he didn't ask the company for help, he would basically be cut off from the construction and delivery business, so he temporarily put the idea aside.
Xiao Baijuan thought that everything should be left to fate, and things would naturally straighten out when they reached the bridge.
Since Veneto doesn't have this need in the short term, Xiaobai isn't in a hurry either.
After all, the newbie naval base doesn't lack ship girl combat power.
Although the newbie naval base doesn't have Littorio, who knows, maybe one day when I go out shopping, I'll be able to bring Littorio home.
However, Xiaobai did not expect that a few months after he made up his mind, Veneto gradually began to miss Littorio and wanted to ask him to build Littorio.
"Admiral, I hope my wish won't cause you any trouble?" Veneto asked Little White.
"No trouble at all," Xiaobai said with a smile. "It's a rare opportunity to have a perfectly legitimate reason to ask a company to build it for me."
"It sounds grand and impressive..." Veneto tacitly agreed with this statement.
“Speaking of which, Veneto, since we’re just waiting anyway,” Xiaobai said, holding up a finger to Veneto with an interested smile. “How about we guess what kind of ship girl our newbie naval commander, Littorio, will be?”
Chapter 3475 Big Sister? Little Sister!!!
"Are we already at the guessing game about the ship girls' appearances?" Veneto asked, looking at Xiaobai.
“After all, we’ve gotten rid of the corporation… With the corporation involved, no matter how many flags are planted, it won’t back down.” Xiaobai crossed his arms and said with great agreement, “So I’ve already accepted that the one in the construction machine is the Littorio we’re looking for.”
Upon hearing this, Veneto looked towards the company.
The man looked at Veneto, smiled, and made a peace sign at her.
Veneto looked away and nodded.
"What the admiral said makes sense."
"So... Veneto, what kind of person do you think our naval commander, Littorio, is?" Little White asked with a smile, his hands behind his back.
“I have indeed thought about this question before…” Veneto replied.
"Hmm? So what's your answer?"
“…” Veneto didn’t speak. She simply maintained her calm demeanor, watching the buzzing construction machine beside her. Suddenly, the corner of her mouth twitched, revealing a rather world-weary and self-deprecating smile. “Since it’s Littorio… he should be about the same as Admiral Nia’s.”
Nia's sister, Littorio, is a tall, curvaceous, beautiful older sister with long green hair and a dashing aura.
This mature and dashing demeanor makes her practically the most quintessential battleship ship girl in the world.
Considering preconceived notions, in Veneto's mind, if Littorio really existed in this world, perhaps she would look like this.
"Ultimately, my family's Roman and Imperial families are like that too, so if Littorio really appeared in our naval base, she'd probably be like them, mature and tall in appearance." Veneto muttered emotionlessly, her red eyes slightly unfocused. "But having said that, I've experienced the baptism of Roman and Imperial families, and I was the one who proposed this construction request. I'm somewhat prepared for what my sisters might look like. Indeed, battleships in this world should be closer to the appearance and temperament of Romans. Battleships like me are the outliers..."
As Veneto spoke, her voice grew softer and softer, and a dense black energy gradually enveloped her.
"Haha..." Xiaobai quickly put his hands on Veneto's shoulders, laughing and comforting her, "No, it's okay... I like you just the way you are, Veneto..."
What's truly disheartening is that even though Veneto made that unusually self-destructive statement, no one present thought there was anything wrong with what she said.
After all... battleship girls as "exquisite" and "condensed" as Veneto are indeed few and far between in the entire ship girl community.
As expected, the ship girl image of the battleship is still that of a tall, older sister.
Xiaobai wanted to say something more to comfort Veneto, but the moment she opened her mouth, the construction device buzzing beside her suddenly made a "ding" sound and stopped operating.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to look at the construction machine.
The words "Construction Successful" were displayed vividly on the construction machine's screen.
"It's built successfully! Let me see..." Xiaobai pulled Veneto to the control platform and carefully checked the construction time. "Hmm... judging from this time, the battleship ship girl should be ready."
"Is it really Littorio?" Veneto asked.
"There's definitely no problem," Xiaobai nodded with a smile.
“…” Veneto nodded subconsciously, his eyes fixed on the ship girl construction device.
The little sister she had been looking forward to for so long... was actually built so easily... and it was even created on the first try by the construction machine, which made Veneto feel like she was in a dream.
but……
Veneto turned his head to look at the company next to him.
If it was built by a company... then it makes perfect sense. In terms of luck, this company has never lost in its entire life.
After a series of operations on the platform, Xiaobai clicked to use the quick construction device.
The rapid construction device, designed to speed up construction and shorten construction time, was transported into the ship girl construction device through the resource pipeline. The next second, the ship girl construction device, which had been quiet, emitted a loud buzzing sound and started operating rapidly again.
Just over ten seconds later, as the rapid construction device was fully utilized, the construction of the ship girl construction device was also successfully accelerated.
Xiao Bai reached out and pressed the button to open the hatch.
Pfft—Sizzle—
The cabins of the ship girl construction device opened, and a large amount of white steam gushed out, turning the air around them into a snowy white.
Among the ship girls present, the others subconsciously raised their arms to cover their faces, while Veneto continued to stare blankly at the direction of the hatch with her eyes open. Only her hand unconsciously grabbed Shiro's wrist, her five fingers slightly clenched.
Amidst the rising steam, the group could vaguely see a figure stepping out of the cabin.
The crisp sound of high heels echoed in the air.
Da da da……
The moment they heard the sound of high heels, even though they couldn't see the ship girl in front of them, everyone subconsciously imagined a tall, graceful, and dashing woman with long green hair.
Hmm... this is also due to preconceived notions.
After all, the first Littorio that everyone present knew was the one from Nia's family. It was reasonable for them to subconsciously associate the two before meeting Littorio, who belonged to their own naval base.
See, even Rome, the newbie garrison commander, is a green-haired older sister...
Anyway... since they're both battleships, the two Littorios shouldn't look too different.
The white water vapor was indeed dense, but it also dissipated much faster.
In just a few breaths, the moisture around everyone had vanished.
Everyone immediately turned their gaze forward.
Outside the open hatch of the construction device, "Littorio," belonging to the rookie naval base, stood on the floor, looking in this direction.
The moment everyone saw Littorio, their expressions of curiosity froze, then turned into astonishment.
what?
Is this... Littorio from the newbie naval base?
Everyone present subconsciously opened their mouths slightly, almost forgetting to greet the ship girl in front of them.
Because... the Littorio who appeared before everyone at this moment, or rather, the "unknown ship girl", was not a tall and slender older sister, but a petite little sister just like Veneto!
—She was a little girl wearing a beautiful dress and with long, curly, burgundy hair.
The little girl looked short and small, but her demeanor was exceptionally elegant and composed. She held a white cat doll in her arms, and her white long-sleeved shirt was clean and crisp under her black shawl. Her small hands, which peeked out from under the sleeves, were also snow-white and delicate. Her face was exquisite in every way, just like Veneto's, but her expression seemed somewhat helpless and languid. Her beautiful eyes, like emeralds, were bright and sparkling even when they were only half-open. They were large and round, and with the black silk headband on her head, she had a wonderful feeling as if a noble little girl from some unknown place had wandered into the scene.
The little girl in front of them looked at the crowd.
Everyone was silent.
The little girl turned her head and looked around, her lush, wine-red hair swaying behind her and making a rustling sound.
Everyone continued to remain silent.
The ship girl in front of them was quite different from what everyone had imagined, so much so that after seeing the ship girl, everyone subconsciously turned their gaze to Veneto herself.
Veneto herself stared blankly at the little girl in front of her. She looked at the little girl's short and elegant body, her tender and lovely face, her straight legs under the pleated skirt, and the thick high heels on her feet. Veneto's eyes widened, her surprise overflowing. But compared to surprise, her eyes seemed to have encountered something extremely joyful, and suddenly they shone with a fierce light.
This feeling... is like finding a kindred spirit.
While everyone was still in a daze, the little girl in the dress had finished observing the surroundings. She walked forward step by step, holding the kitten doll in her arms, making a clattering sound on the crisp floor.
Finally, the little girl in the dress stopped in front of Little White and Veneto.
"Did you build me?" the little girl in the dress said to the crowd, then suddenly lowered her head and sighed softly in a very ladylike manner. "Alas... Although I had anticipated before I came here that this place might not be a wealthy one, it is really regrettable that the people here do not even have basic manners... I have been standing in front of you for so long, and not a single person has said even a 'good afternoon' to me."
The little girl in the dress had a voice that perfectly matched her appearance—a youthful voice with the tone of a mature lady.
"...It's not afternoon, it's morning." Finally, Xiaobai was the first to react, and she spoke to the little girl in the dress in front of her with a complicated expression.
"Well, it turns out it's not a cold afternoon after all. It seems what's chilling me is just the coldness of human relationships." The little girl in the dress said, hugging her doll. She looked at Xiaobai with a lazy gaze and a soft, simple voice, "So... are you the admiral here? I'd rather you were the admiral. I don't want my admiral to be someone who has neglected his newly born ship girl for so long and hasn't even spoken up to her yet."
The little girl in the dress spoke with unusual calmness.
Judging from her pronunciation, her last sentence didn't seem to be meant to be sarcastic; it was more like she was stating an objective fact—because that's really what she thought.
Xiaobai also came to her senses and quickly smiled at the little girl in front of her.
Hello, Littorio.
"I didn't expect you to know my name." When the little girl in the dress heard Xiaobai call her name, her half-open emerald green eyes opened slightly. "How amazing. It seems you have better taste than I thought, Admiral."
Chapter 3476 Luo Yingying Wants to Go Off Work
"Ah...ah! Ahhhhhhhh!!!!"
Before anyone could react, Rome's incredibly shocked voice came from behind them.
The next second, Roma stared dumbfounded at the little girl in the dress in front of him, as if he had seen the most incredible creature in the world, and stammered, "Just like, just like... just like Big Sister, exactly the same as her!!! Big Sister, look, this person is exactly like you..."
As Rome was excitedly shouting, she suddenly felt an incredibly intense gaze upon her.
A chill ran through my chest.
In that instant, Rome's survival instinct was suddenly awakened. She trembled, quickly closed her mouth, and subconsciously looked down.
Veneto, standing next to Xiaobai, turned his head to the side, his red eyes filled with an aura of authority, coldly scrutinizing her.
Although Veneto didn't speak, her gaze was enough to convey the message, "If you dare say another word, I'll kill you on the spot."
Rome instantly deflated, awkwardly rubbing their hands and forcing a smile at Veneto.
"Big Sister, you, you've misunderstood... I, I... I mean... she, she has a similar vibe to you..."
"..." Veneto gave Roma a look that said he didn't have time to deal with her right now, then turned back and cast a gentle and kind gaze at the little girl in the dress in front of him.
"……Um?"
The little girl in the dress looked at Rome, then at Veneto. She tilted her head, and her thick, wine-red, half-length hair tilted to one side. As the hair trembled, everyone realized that her hairstyle was not a single strand, but rather two fluffy, wine-red pigtails on either side of the back of her head.
"You are... Littorio, right?"
Veneto's eyes met those of the little girl in the dress, and she spoke, confirming with the little girl.
A rare look of uncertainty and anxiety appeared on Veneto's face.
