Elder brother's garrison

However, Luo Yingying feels that she is encountering more and more troubles now.

Just as Luo Yingying bent over and breathed on the ground...

Amidst a strange cheer, a figure in bright red descended from the second floor of the Admiral's Guild, carrying medals of various sizes.

Luo Yingying subconsciously raised her head.

The bright red figure descending from the second floor also lowered its head.

The two men looked at each other.

Luo Yingying stared blankly at the figure walking down from the second floor.

--Wow.

—This person is so beautiful.

The admiral who came down from the second floor had fair skin, red lips, and delicate features, possessing a captivating beauty. He wore a bright red robe and moved like a blazing flame, constantly drawing the attention of those around him.

Luo Yingying glanced at the name tag on the presenter's chest.

——Ringo.

Ringo and Luo Yingying just looked at each other like that.

At last.

In the peaceful gaze of Governor-General Ringo throughout his life.

Inexplicable.

A look of joy, as if seeing family, welled up in her eyes.

written request for leave

I couldn't sleep all night because of the mosquitoes. All I could hear was their buzzing. I was on the verge of a breakdown. I've been in a daze all day, my head is stiff, and my arms are very itchy.

I'm almost finished with this volume and need to start outlining the next one. I've also ordered a mosquito killer lamp from Taobao. Anyway, I'll take a day off today to get myself in the right mindset.

P.S.: No matter how hot it is in summer, don't sleep naked. Don't ask me how I know.

Chapter 1232 Thank you, thank you (7000 words)

On a chilly morning, the kitchen was steaming, filled with the fluffy aroma of steamed buns and mantou.

"Sisters, the steamed buns are ready—come and get ready for breakfast!"

After a while.

Chicheng's greeting echoed through the courtyard.

Inside the steaming kitchen, Akagi and Kaga, each carrying a steamer basket that was more than half a person tall, stepped out of the kitchen door one after the other.

During the time the newbie garrison was stationed in Chapter Six, Akagi was in charge of providing food.

Because of the large number of newbies in the naval base, and because their tastes have gradually become more discerning due to the culinary expertise of the chefs, the workload of taking care of the food for the entire naval base is actually quite heavy.

Logically speaking.

Being responsible for preparing elaborate meals for so many people for an extended period, and even supporting the ship girls' ordering service, would be a considerable burden, even for a professional chef, testing their experience. Even with the ship girls' energy and stamina, after such a long time, they should at least show some signs of fatigue.

But even so.

Akagi, the ship girl who only served as the sole temporary cook for the entire naval base during her rest time outside of expeditions, showed no signs of fatigue in the kitchen during this period of being responsible for feeding everyone in the novice naval base. In fact, she seemed to enjoy it quite a bit.

The entire event time has passed.

The food and service enjoyed by the new ship girls at the naval base is as high-end and classy as ever.

It seems that Akagi, the ship girl, is more accustomed to and enjoys her daily life as a cook than to the brutal battles.

"Sister Akagi, you've worked hard. Please leave it to me."

Before Akagi could even fully walk out of the kitchen with the steamer, another melodious and obedient voice responded from the kitchen doorway.

Then, a pair of arms cleverly reached into Akagi's arms, and before Akagi could reply, those arms took the heavy steamer from Akagi's arms.

Akagi smiled.

The cook was the first ship girl to wait at the door for dinner during the event.

"Thank you for your help, young lady. Let me see which little glutton is it?"

As Akagi spoke, he waved the white steam in front of him.

The white steam from the kitchen hadn't yet dissipated in front of Akagi, and in the moment of relief, Akagi hadn't even had time to see clearly who was standing in front of her.

The white vapor that obscured the view dissipated within a few breaths.

Upon seeing the person in front of him, Akagi's smile showed a hint of surprise.

"That's because I only officially joined the naval base yesterday," Iowa said with a smile, bowing slightly to Akagi. "Sister Akagi, this little glutton greets you."

"Oh my, it's Iowa... my little sister?" Akagi seemed a little surprised to see Iowa appear before her, and she nodded slightly. "It really is..."

"Unexpected?" Iowa blinked and picked up where Akagi left off.

"—Iowa, you don't seem like the kind of girl who would do this kind of rough work at all." Akagi didn't deny Iowa's words, but just smiled at Iowa.

"Iohua also wanted to slack off, but what can I do when your cooking is so delicious, Sister Akagi? Today, I've come here specifically to pay my respects to you."

"It's just an ordinary steamed bun, don't flatter me. I'm not some pampered empress dowager. In this naval base, apart from the admiral, everyone is the same in daily life. You're Iowa, not an Amagi-class ship girl. It's normal that you don't come to see me."

"My sister is right."

"Alright, alright, we haven't even exchanged two sentences and you're already praising me to the skies." Akagi sighed, shook her head with a smile, and said, "If you want to eat, then hurry up and move the steamer to the other girls' side."

"Yes, ma'am. Thank you for your hard work, Akagi-neechan~" Iowa nodded, her gaze lingering briefly on Kaga behind Akagi. "Good morning, Kaga-neechan."

Kaga held the tall steamer, saying nothing, only nodding in acknowledgment.

Having received Kaga's response, Iowa turned around, carrying the steamer, and walked briskly towards the ship girls in the center of the courtyard.

A cheer erupted from the center of the courtyard as the ship girls announced that it was time to eat.

"Kaga, give me half."

Hearing the sound coming from the center of the courtyard, Akagi, whose hands were empty, turned around and somewhat awkwardly took half of the multi-tiered steamer that Kaga was holding behind her and hugged it to her own chest.

"Akagi." Kaga looked at Akagi's actions, thought for a moment, and then opened his mouth.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Iowa seems to be making a move on you."

"That's right, she's trying to be friendly." Akagi smiled. "It's kind of interesting. She's the big sister of America, what does she want from being friendly to a little ship girl like me? I can't teach her how to fly planes."

"Because Akagi is the admiral's elder?"

"Huh?" Akagi paused, looking at Kaga.

"I don't know, just pretend I didn't say anything." Kaga shook his head.

Kaga sometimes prefers to speak based on her intuition, so sometimes she blurts out things that even she doesn't know how to explain.

Akagi looked at Kaga for a while, then glanced at the sky.

However, Kaga is, after all, a ship girl with exceptionally keen intuition.

"Hmm... I see..."

Akagi smiled thoughtfully.

"That young lady probably has feelings for our admiral."

"What is she going to do to the Admiral?" Kaga's expression turned serious the moment he heard Akagi's words.

"No, it's not what you're thinking, Kaga." Akagi smiled. "Don't worry, don't be nervous, it's not a bad thing."

"..." This time it was Kaga's turn to look puzzled.

However, Akagi clearly had no intention of explaining to Kaga. She turned around and glanced around the courtyard behind her. "...Kaga, speaking of which, where is the Admiral?"

"The admiral had informed her beforehand that she was seeing her friend off."

Kaga nodded and replied, "Back then, Akagi, you were adding firewood and blowing air into the stove, and you responded to that too."

"Oh... I think that's true."

Akagi tilted her head and thought for a while, then looked towards the gate. "It was a little girl named Luo Lian and... that woman who left, right? Why were they in such a hurry?"

Just as Akagi was muttering to himself.

Outside the courtyard gate, Xiao Bai walked back in with a strange look on his face.

As Akagi was deep in thought, she saw Shiro walk back into the courtyard and immediately put aside her emotions. She freed one hand and waved in Shiro's direction, "Admiral—breakfast is ready."

As Xiaobai walked into the courtyard, he heard Chicheng's voice.

Xiaobai smiled at Akagi with a somewhat subtle expression.

Then, under Akagi's watchful gaze, one after another, military police ship girls dressed in white and carrying luggage and packages followed Shiro in.

"..." Akagi's hand, which was waving in mid-air, stopped.

Xiaobai led the white-clad ship girls behind her to Akagi one by one.

Good morning, Akagi!

"Good morning, Admiral..." Akagi lowered her arm, her gaze shifting to the ship girls behind Shiro. "Admiral, who are these girls behind you...?"

The white-clad ship girls behind Xiaobai are ship girls from the military police.

Akagi recognizes these ship girls.

Since Xiaobai and Duan Shuiliu's relationship has become increasingly close, these military police ship girls have frequently visited the courtyard of the newbie naval base during this period.

The newbie naval base wasn't particularly xenophobic; everyone was a guest. Despite some initial misunderstandings between the ship girls and the military police, the admiral didn't suffer any injustice. Over time, the relationship between the ship girls of the newbie naval base and the military police ship girls actually developed quite well.

At least when these military police ship girls come to visit again, Akagi can treat them as her own little sister with great hospitality.

Only this time.

Akagi noticed that these ship girls were carrying suitcases and looking like they were checking into a hotel, not just visiting.

The admiral only went out to see off a guest once...

How come you brought back such a large number of ship girls again?

Your skills have improved significantly.

Akagi looked quite surprised.

"Akagi, in short, these are our new partners..." Shiro looked completely at a loss for words. She scratched her cheek and pointed to the military police ship girls behind her. "Well, they were the ones who wanted to join our naval base... and I agreed."

Good morning, Akagi-neechan!

When the military police ship girls heard Xiaobai's introduction, they all bowed to Akagi in unison.

Akagi was stunned for a while, looking at Shiro with his head bobbing: "Admiral, you... you wiped out the entire military police force?"

"Ah? No... it's like this, these ship girls are actually innocent ship girls who were dealt with by the military police during their operations and were taken in by bad admirals. They're temporarily staying at the military police headquarters." Shiro gestured with her hands, explaining the origins of these military police ship girls to Akagi. "So strictly speaking, they aren't ship girls belonging to the military police, and now..."

"So you, Admiral, managed to save it?" Akagi suppressed a laugh.

“...It seems so.” Xiaobai lowered her head.

Akagi raised her head and looked at the ship girls behind Shiro.

The military police ship girls behind Shiro were also nervously watching Akagi in front of them.

For these ship girls who had previously had disagreements with the newbie naval base, the attitude of the ship girl Akagi in the base is now crucial.

As the world's number one naval base, these military police ship girls, while possessing decent training levels, are still quite a bit below the level of the world's number one ship girls.

If these ship girls dislike you, even ship girls from the military police wouldn't feel comfortable forcing the admiral to take you in.

The ship girls swallowed hard, each one afraid to breathe too loudly.

Akagi suddenly burst out laughing.

"...Anyway, if the younger sisters don't mind, how about we just have steamed buns for our first meal after joining the naval base?"

The ship girls from the military police unit beamed with delighted smiles.
