"Um... Yamato-neechan, come here." Shiro waved to Deep Sea Yamato.

Deep Sea Yamato walked up to Shiro.

"Saratoga's salary last month was..."

Shiro leaned close to Yamato's ear and whispered a long string of numbers.

"……Eh?"

Deep Sea Yamato listened in a daze, her mouth agape as she looked at the smiling Shiro, then looked down at her own palm.

"Saratoga...Saratoga..."

Deep Sea Yamato foolishly started counting on his fingers.

“My current salary is… Saratoga’s salary is…” Yamato Fukami muttered to himself, fiddling with his fingers, somewhat dazed. “Saratoga’s salary divided by my salary… one, two, three, four, five, six… ten, twenty, thirty…”

"This! So many times!!"

Halfway through his calculations, Yamato stared wide-eyed at Shiro.

"Hmm. How is it? Are you satisfied, Yamato-neechan?" Shiro smiled at Deep Sea Yamato.

Before the joy could fully show on Yamato's face, it was quickly pushed back down by a heavy look of entanglement and worry.

Deep Sea Yamato took a step back.

Deep Sea Yamato spun around in place.

Deep Sea Yamato did a set of squats.

Deep Sea Yamato did a set of push-ups.

After pondering for a long time, Yamato finally raised his head and spoke to Shiro with a complicated expression.

"noob……"

"What's wrong, Yamato-neechan?"

"I...I think..." Yamato Fukami clutched his chest, looking conflicted, and said, "Forget about giving me a raise...or just give me a token increase of one or two thousand, that would be fine..."

Chapter 1531 Let's squeeze in then

Yamato Shinkai spoke with a troubled expression, his face full of difficulty and heartache.

The newbie was completely stunned.

—Wasn't Deepsea Yamato just begging for a raise? How come she doesn't want it now that I've actually given her one...?

"Yamato-neechan, didn't you just tell me you wanted a raise?"

Xiaobai looked at Shenhai Yamato with a puzzled expression and asked,

"Why don't you want it now that I've added it for you?"

"I want it! Of course I want it! But..."

Deep Sea Yamato quickly straightened her head to reply, but then her expression quickly drooped again. She looked at Shiro with a conflicted expression.

"However... I thought that, considering our relationship, you'd give me a bigger raise, maybe even double or triple it... But now you've suddenly given me such a huge one, that's really too biased. It'll look bad if word gets out, and other people will have something to say about it..."

After finishing speaking, Yamato lowered his head in great distress, muttering to himself as he poked his fingers.

"If giving me a raise means the rest of the naval base will have a problem with you, Shiro, then I'd rather not get the raise..."

"……"noob.

Absolutely.

It turns out that this is the issue that Yamato is concerned about.

Shiro looked helplessly at Deep Sea Yamato and then burst out laughing.

"Yamato-neechan..."

Xiaobai helplessly spoke to Deep Sea Yamato.

"Um... I'm happy that you're thinking of me, but this time I really didn't favor you, Yamato-neechan."

"Huh? No?"

"No," Xiaobai nodded. After thinking for a moment, she said to Abyssal Yamato, "Yamato-neechan, the salary our naval base paid you before was for your work as an apprentice maid, cleaning the living environment of the naval base. Now it's different. You see, Yamato-neechan, you are now an outstanding talent who can contribute to our naval base. Whether it was fighting against the Abyssal Fleet on the sea or bringing back the 510mm cannon for the new naval base, it was all thanks to you, Yamato-neechan. I think Yamato-neechan's salary and benefits can be re-evaluated from the perspective of a ship girl."

At this point, Shiro smiled at Yamato Abyss.

“The treatment of ship girls is closely related to their own strength. If we measure Yamato’s treatment from the perspective of ship girls, then Yamato, you are at least on par with Missouri and the others, right?” Xiaobai said, a shy smile appearing on her face. “Could it be that—Yamato, you think you are weaker than Missouri and the others?”

"No! I'm super strong!"

Deep Sea Yamato raised an eyebrow, straightened his chest, and stubbornly replied.

“So,” Xiaobai laughed, “it’s only natural that you, Yamato, would receive top-tier treatment at the level of Missouri and Iowa. Rather, I’d say I was being conservative by only giving you slightly less Saratoga-level treatment. I’m sure Lexington thinks the same way.”

“Ah…” Deep Sea Yamato stared blankly at Shiro, “So…so…”

"Well, what I mean is, you deserve all the treatment you receive, Yamato-neechan. It's definitely not because I'm biased or showing favoritism towards you," Xiaobai concluded.

"So...I see!" Yamato's eyes lit up after hearing Shiro's words. "So, I'm worth that much!"

Little White smiled.

This time, Shiro really didn't fool Deepsea Yamato.

I dare not say anything else.

The name "Yamato" alone is enough to satisfy the treatment Xiaobai just mentioned.

"This is amazing!!" Deep Sea Yamato clenched her fists in gratitude. She pursed her lips and excitedly calculated, "This is... this is what it feels like to get a promotion and a raise! If that's the case... wouldn't I be able to use even a fraction of my monthly salary to buy games, subscribe to game cards, and upgrade my equipment every month? I could become a whale (high-spending player), enjoy the worship of thousands, and not have to worry about not being able to afford megaphones for online arguments. Most importantly, I wouldn't have to worry about Musashi eating up my entire salary anymore!! This feeling is just incredible!"

Yamato's face flushed with excitement.

"Yes...that's right." Xiaobai nodded with a smile.

"Great!! Thank you, Shiro! I love Shiro the most!" Deep Sea Yamato opened her arms and hugged Shiro's waist tightly, happily lifting her into the air and spinning her around. "Next month, next month I'll be rich, hahaha!!"

A world-class warship like the Deep Sea Yamato certainly commands a substantial monthly salary.

It's just...

Considering that Abyssal Yamato still owes a debt equivalent to a whole building at the newbie naval base, even if Shiro upgrades Abyssal Yamato's salary to the level of a normal ship girl, for the next few months, nine out of ten of Abyssal Yamato's monthly salary will still have to be handed over to Lexington to pay off the debt... At least she won't be a rich person next month.

Xiaobai was about to remind Shenhai Yamato, but looking at the happy smile on Shenhai Yamato's face as he hugged her, she thought about it and decided not to spoil Shenhai Yamato's good mood.

"Yamato-neechan, let's celebrate later," Shiro said to Deep Sea Yamato. "Next, we need to discuss who should have the best gun for the 510mm main gun."

Xiao Bai had barely finished speaking.

Yamato, who was holding Shiro, paused.

"Ah." Yamato blinked, then put Shiro down, his face quickly turning embarrassed. "Yes...yes, we should discuss where 510 is going..."

"Hmm? Yamato-neechan, what's wrong?" Shiro asked curiously, looking at Yamato's expression.

"N-nothing." Yamato coughed twice, scratched her cheek, and glanced down at the 510 main gun on the floor. "But... um, Shiro."

"Ok?"

"There's something I forgot to tell you... about this 510mm cannon," Yamato said apologetically to Shiro. "Well... while this cannon is indeed a genuine 510mm cannon, its situation is a bit special..."

"Special?" Upon hearing this, Xiaobai glanced at the half-cannon barrel on the floor. "What you mean by 'special' is that the 510 main gun was cut off? That should be fine, right? Once the ship's main gun is installed on the ship girl's rigging, it should be able to be restored to its original state with a quick repair."

“…” Yamato Akagi scratched his head. “Hmm… that makes sense, but… that’s the problem.”

"?" Xiaobai looked at Shenhai Yamato with curiosity.

“Hey, Shiro, I just told you, right?” Abyssal Yamato said, “This 510mm main gun was actually installed on the ‘Super Yamato’. It was supposed to be shelved as part of the plan and disappear from human history. It would never appear in the world of ship girls and Abyssal Fleet.”

"...I did say that."

“This main gun is slightly different from my Yamato gun,” said Akami Yamato. “Because it is a planned ship, the structure of this 510mm main gun is full of many unreasonable, even contradictory, and strange things. It is a contradiction that should not exist on a ship at sea, but it does exist. When I first got this main gun, I tried to install it, but my ship’s equipment could not accommodate this gun turret.”

"Huh? It can't accommodate everyone?" Xiaobai was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

"It's exactly what it sounds like..." Yamato Aqua gave a wry smile. "This main gun has too many structural contradictions. It's an extremely unscientific turret. I reckon that a normal ship girl's ship equipment wouldn't be able to fit this main gun."

"Uh... in other words, this cannon is a super-large and exclusive cannon?" Xiaobai asked.

"Yes!"

“…Oh dear.” Xiaobai looked helpless.

Xiaobai had previously thought that the 510mm cannon that Deepsea Yamato brought back this time was a real treasure.

Unexpectedly... it turned out to be someone else's exclusive equipment.

No matter how powerful the equipment is, it's just a decorative vase if you can't wear it.

Xiaobai was a little disappointed.

"I only found out about this later..." Yamato Fukami said, quickly taking two steps back, hugging her chest, and looking cautiously at Shiro. "Um, but Shiro, you already agreed to give me a raise... You wouldn't be going back on your word now, would you..."

"..." Xiaobai chuckled, "I wouldn't say that."

"Ah...that's great." Yamato Fukami breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, it's quite sad that such a powerful cannon doesn't have any ship girls to carry it." Xiaobai sighed, looking at the 510mm cannon on the floor, and muttered to herself with some regret, "It can only be put into the naval base's warehouse to collect dust... What a waste."

"It's not that wasteful," Yamato Shinkai whispered to Shiro.

"Hmm?" Xiaobai looked at Shenhai Yamato.

"What I just said is that due to its unscientific structure, this cannon is actually not suitable for normal ship girls to carry," Abyssal Yamato said.

"Hmm...that does seem to be the case."

"But it shouldn't be a problem to carry abnormal ship girl equipment," Abyssal Yamato said to Shiro, "For example... you, Shiro."

"Huh?" Xiaobai pointed to herself in surprise, "Me?"

“Hmm.” Yamato nodded. “Shiro, you’re a land-based ship rig. A land-based ship rig is like a piece of land. You don’t need to worry about stability, tonnage, recoil, or anything like that. No matter how outrageous the equipment is, as long as it can be inserted, the land-based ship rig can be used.”

"Eh?"

"Anyway, we can't take the people from the naval base with us. Instead of letting them gather dust in the warehouse, why don't you just install them, Shiro?" Yamato Akami said to Shiro.

"what?"

"Little White, please." Deep Sea Yamato respectfully held up the huge cannon barrel and said earnestly to Little White.

"Uh..." Xiaobai stared at Shenhai Yamato with his mouth agape. "Uh... but, but, my ship's equipment already has a main gun... Although the 510mm main gun is very powerful, replacing the laser cannon is really..."

"Oh...right." Yamato Akagi said absentmindedly, "Then..."

"It seems the only option is to put it in the warehouse..."

"Then, Xiaobai, you'll have to make do and use the 510 as a secondary gun."

"What?!"

Chapter 1532 Danger!

The original main gun of the Xiaobai land-based ship, although not as powerful as the 510 twin steel tube, has absorbed the energy essence of so many pieces of the Deep Sea Dean under the joint cultivation of Xiaobai and the Deep Sea Will, and has grown into Xiaobai's most iconic attack method, the big laser cannon.

Even disregarding the fact that the attack power of the current laser cannon far exceeds that of ordinary ship girl main guns, just looking at how long this laser cannon has been with me and has bombarded more Abyssal Deans than most admirals, considering that it has worked hard even if it hasn't made any great contributions, I can't bear to replace it with Xiaobai.

Therefore, when Abyssus Yamato mentioned that the land-based ship equipment of Shiro should be equipped with 510 twin-tube steel pipes, Shiro was actually reluctant.

In any case, the laser cannon is definitely the better main weapon for our own side.

However, Xiaobai has to admit that when it comes to the configuration of ship equipment, the Deepsea Yamato is indeed more imaginative.

Just as Xiaobai subtly indicated that he did not want to replace his laser main cannon.

After listening to Xiaobai's words, Shenhai Yamato didn't even think much before letting out a soft sigh. He said that since the 510 twin steel pipes couldn't be the main gun for Xiaobai, the secondary guns could be used as substitutes, and they could be squeezed in if necessary.

Xiao Bai was surprised.

"Secondary...secondary gun?" Xiaobai stared blankly at Shenhai Yamato.

“Yes, as a secondary gun.” Deep Sea Yamato patted the half-cannon barrel in his arms and said to Shiro as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Uh...is this...okay?" Xiaobai looked at Shenhai Yamato with a bit of confusion.

“Of course, ordinary ships can’t do that.” Deep Sea Yamato laughed. “The nature of main guns and secondary guns is too different. No matter how crazy you are, you can’t install a main gun in the position of a secondary gun on an ordinary ship.”

"Then how can I mount a secondary gun...?"

"I've said it before, haven't I? Your ship equipment isn't your average ship." Abyssal Yamato freed a hand and patted Xiaobai on the shoulder. "Or to put it another way, Xiaobai, your ship equipment isn't even a ship. You're a land-based ship equipment, a sea fortress, or simply put, a piece of land. With the capacity of solid and vast land, accommodating a few 510mm cannons is a piece of cake, nothing to brag about."
