Elder brother's garrison

Page 685

After Xiaobai got out of the car, the old man's taxi sped away with a roar of its engine.

Xiao Bai looked at Lexington, who was standing alone in front of the gate, looking at him with a smile.

“Lexington, I’m back…” Little White scratched his head a little embarrassedly, “…Um, sorry, I went to someone’s house before I came back…”

"Okay, I know." Lexington smiled and reached out her hand to Little White.

Xiaobai took two steps to Lexington, reached out and grabbed Lexington's hand, placing it on his head.

Lexington gently patted Little White's head.

“Bismarck told me about what happened over there.” Lexington put one hand on his hip, looking at Little White with a somewhat helpless expression. “Honestly, next time you’re going to someone else’s house, at least call me first.”

"Ah...I'm sorry...I was wrong." Xiaobai lowered her head in remorse.

Xiao Bai hadn't actually forgotten to call Lexington. It was just that Chairman Er Gou's identity was indeed a bit sensitive for Lexington, and Xiao Bai didn't know how to explain his extra trip to Lexington.

After all, Xiaobai couldn't very well say that she was going back to her hometown with her sister-in-law, who was legally her brother-in-law.

Xiao Bai felt that if he really said that, the enraged Lexington might just take over Linsheng City by himself.

So, to avoid such an awkward situation, and because a lot of things did happen in Linsheng City later, Xiaobai kept putting off explaining his whereabouts to Lexington. Finally, before he could have the company send the package from the naval base by express courier, he simply pretended to have forgotten about it.

"You're making me so anxious." Lexington rubbed Little White's head a little harder.

Lexington couldn't bear to physically punish Little White, so this was the most effective way to express Lexington's dissatisfaction.

Little White laughed sheepishly. She nestled against Lexington's soft embrace for a long time before Lexington finally calmed down.

Sometimes, even Lexington wondered if it was really a good thing to keep indulging Xiaobai like this.

Hey--

Thinking this, Lexington subconsciously tightened her grip on Little White's arm.

The sense of crisis, like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders, finally dissipated.

Lexington lowered her head, buried the lower half of her face in Little White's hair, and took a soft breath.

Actually, it's not about condoning it.

—It's so good that Xiaobai is still willing to stay in my arms.

Even though I know it's impossible.

But Lexington was really scared, so Little White ran away with Mummy Song and lived in Linsheng City, where there were more humans, and never came back.

I was really scared, so scared that I couldn't eat or sleep properly. My hands trembled so much that I couldn't hold a pen. My mind was filled with all sorts of wild thoughts all day long. Even when I was trying my best to discipline the disobedient Jiajia in the dark room, I felt bored and powerless.

So, after seeing that Little White had returned and was as close to him as before, Lexington, who secretly laughed at himself for overthinking things, felt extremely relieved in his belated realization, as if a mountain had been pressing down on his heart. He was so happy and relieved that he forgot everything else.

"noob."

"Ok?"

"Welcome back."

This volume has come to an end.

It's hard to say whether this volume will be called "Chapter Two" or "Two Dogs Chapter," but anyway, that's about all I want to talk about. It's basically about sorting out Onii-chan's past relationships, filling in some plot holes, and digging some new ones.

In short, it's time to start preparing the detailed outline for the next volume, and new plot points will be gradually introduced... so I'll just post a single update today...

Isn't Chapter 913 pretty good too?

The current naval base is much quieter than it was before, when it was transformed into a law firm's paradise by Lexington and himself.

The hundreds of ship girl shops that were originally opened in the newbie naval base with the help of Xiaobai and Lexington have now closed down after only one month. The shops have even disappeared. Now, only a few small daily shops are still open in the entire newbie naval base square.

The reason is simple: the ship girls' enthusiasm for opening shops has simply faded.

After all, running a shop is indeed a very tiring job.

What is it that makes the vast majority of working people work so hard and diligently day and night? It is it that makes so many pigeons suppress their cooing human instincts and, with tears in their eyes, possess the diligence of bees?

It's poverty.

Therefore, they can do the work.

Most of the ship girls in the newbie naval base have no financial pressure. They usually lie in their bedrooms and are lazy naval base workers. Occasionally, when it's their turn to work, they take their ship equipment out for a spin on the sea. They can still get a salary that crushes everyone else every month, so they don't need to worry about money at all. Because of this, it is only natural that the ship girl shops, which were opened out of interest, will close down when the ship girls get bored.

In the plaza of the newbie naval base, the few remaining ship girl shops are all similar to Leipzig's small shop, Pinghai Ninghai's steamed bun shop, Aoba's Lukun Cafe, and Akashi's paint shop—each with a clear goal and special pursuit.

The Xinhua Bookstore of the Empire is one of the few that survived from among hundreds of stores and is still in operation.

—The reason for insisting on running the bookstore is not because the empire is short of money and wants to make up for daily expenses by opening the store.

The main reason is that the empire loves books.

Corner of the square.

The autumn wind is bleak.

In front of the Imperial Bookstore, the proprietress, Imperial, was holding a thick book, sitting on an outdoor seat by the entrance, immersed in a sea of ​​books.

“Zzz…” Empire.

The bookstore owner, Di Guo, was holding books in his arms, his head bowed, drooping like a chick pecking at rice, peacefully dozing off.

Another small reason for insisting on keeping the store is that if he simply runs a store that few people want to patronize, the empire, as the store owner, can legitimately skip Veneto's personal training and thus indulge in slacking off and taking naps.

Faint voices drifted from the bookstore.

With a creak, a pair of hands pushed open the door of the Imperial Bookstore with a slightly rough motion and slowly walked out.

"So, Musashi, look at these shameful ship girls! Don't they feel ashamed?" Accompanied by Yamato's voice, the rookie maid squad of the naval base slowly walked out of the bookstore one after another.

The successful and professional maid, Deep Sea Yamato, leads Deep Sea Musashi, who is currently munching on a grilled sausage, and the languid Pachina, one after the other.

The conservative black and white maid uniforms, combined with her slightly pale skin compared to the human ship girls, created a rather eye-catching scene.

Finally, Richelieu, with his distinctive uniform, followed wearily behind the Deans of the Deep Sea.

The maid troupe, led by Yamato Fukami, arrived at the bookstore entrance.

Yamato Fukami, hands on his hips, head held high, turned around to look at his companions behind him and the sign on the bookstore door, staring at them in deep thought for a long time.

"As the leader of the Abyssal Fleet, our Abyssal Dean should have his own backbone." Abyssal Yamato patted his chest and said to his companions behind him.

"Look at these ship girls! They're all lazy and unambitious! All they do is sleep and daydream in their own backyard!" Deep Sea Yamato pointed at the sleeping Empire beside her and said to Deep Sea Musashi with a pained expression, "This kind of life is just too decadent! No pursuit, no dreams! They're just salted fish!"

"Mmm..." Deep Sea Musashi chewed on a grilled sausage, nodded, and looked at Deep Sea Yamato with a blank expression.

"Musashi, you agree, don't you? Those ship girls are such a bunch of shameful lazybones! Either they have terrible personalities or they're gluttonous and lazy. As a deep-sea ship with noble blood flowing through our veins, we must always take them as negative examples and be mindful of our own behavior!" Deep-sea Yamato solemnly patted Deep-sea Musashi's shoulder, her face full of sorrow. "Musashi, you can't become one of those lazy ship girls who spend all day holed up at home playing games! Labor and dedication are the noble qualities of a deep-sea ship; you must carry them on!"

“…Mmm.” Deep Sea Musashi remained expressionless. She swallowed the sausage in her mouth with a gulp, glanced silently at her hand, and raised her head. “One more, please.”

"...You still want to eat?"

"Oni-chan, Oni-gai." Deep Sea Musashi tilted his head.

"Cough!" Deep Sea Yamato clutched his chest, seemingly having suffered a powerful mental attack. His defenses crumbled instantly under Deep Sea Musashi's attack. "...Where did you learn that move from...?"

Tirpitz.

"Damn it, that bastard Tirpitz..." Yamato Aqua took out her wallet with tears in her eyes and reluctantly handed a small bill to Musashi Aqua.

Deep Sea Musashi accepted the small bill and ran back to the bookstore with quick, light steps.

"Are these ship girls demons...? They actually put such evil things as sausages in the bookstore..." Deep Sea Yamato clenched her fists, her face filled with the class hatred of a proletarian facing an old landlord, "...They're not even human...Their method of collecting wages is so dirty!"

“I think it’s just that you spoil Musashi too much,” pachina sighed.

"Damn it! So you've been bribed by the ship girls after all!"

"How dare you, someone who plays games with ship girls every day, say the word 'bribe'..." Pachina's voice was somewhat helpless.

"How could an Abyssal Fleet possibly have such a good relationship with ship girls! I am the Dean of the Abyssal Fleet! I'm just trying to defuse their wariness of me, you understand? You just don't understand this." Abyssal Yamato snorted, somewhat smugly.

"..." Pachina was somewhat helpless.

"What I just said wasn't just for Musashi. Pachina, don't become like those ship girls, lazy and good-for-nothing all day long. Just because you're pretty, you naively think the admiral will support you for life, without any plans for the future. You'll only regret it when you retire without life experience or business skills to earn money. As true Abyssal Fleet members, we should..."

Halfway through his explanation, Deep Sea Yamato glanced at the sleeping empire and suddenly stopped.

"..."

Deep Sea Yamato silently lowered her hand, walked to Empire's side, and then quickly took out a thin blanket from her ship equipment space, covered Empire with it, and helped her adjust to a comfortable position.

After doing all this, Deep Sea Yamato returned to Pachina and coughed lightly twice.

"So when I find the opportunity, I will definitely teach these ship girls who dared to imprison me a bloody lesson!" Abyss Yamato said with a serious expression.

"..."

The bookstore door behind me was pushed open once again.

Deep Sea Musashi walked out of the house with a brand new sausage in his mouth.

As Yamato saw Musashi emerge, he was about to beckon her over to continue his lecture when a familiar voice, accompanied by footsteps, rang out from afar.

"Yamato-neechan!"

The voice was very familiar to everyone in the maid group, so much so that the moment the voice was heard, both Pachina and Deep Sea Musashi turned their heads and looked towards the source of the sound.

Lexington and Missouri were walking towards the gate of the naval base.

Shiro was waving as he ran towards the direction of Abyssal Yamato.

Before the maids could react, Shiro's body transformed into a white figure and leaped into Yamato's arms with a thud.

"Yamato-neechan, I'm back!"

"Oh ho! Little White, you're back!"

Yamato held Shiro in his arms and spun her around twice before dissipating the impact and putting her back on the ground.

"So, have you finished the second chapter yet?" Yamato Akagi squatted down on the ground, gently smoothing Shiro's hair, which was a little messy from exercising, and asked her.

"Yes! I've finished conquering it!"

"Have you eaten properly?"

“Eat!”

"Has the deep sea bullied you?"

"No, I chased them all away!"

"Well done, as expected of Shiro, hehe!" Yamato Fukami chuckled and ruffled Shiro's hair, their foreheads touching intimately in perfect sync. "Looks like I don't need to lift a finger."

"I miss you so much, Yamato-neechan!"

"Hmph, even the world's number one admiral has fallen for my charm, hahaha!" Deep Sea Yamato hugged Shiro, chuckled, and rubbed against Shiro's neck. "I've missed Shiro so much!"

"Yeah~"

Deep Sea Yamato and Shiro hugged each other. Although the two looked completely different in appearance and figure, they were as relaxed as sisters when they got together. Even Pachina had never seen Deep Sea Yamato show such a warm, big sister smile, like a kindergarten teacher.

To be honest, pachina doesn't really know where to begin complaining.

She received unanimous praise from all the ship girls in the naval base, thus obtaining the official maid position. Initially, she was allowed to share a room with the naval base admiral every day. When capturing your sister, Lexington even tacitly allowed you to use the rapid repair device to restore the damaged ship equipment, thereby restoring the strength of the Abyssal Dean. Her monthly salary is also the highest among all the maids. Recently, they have even trusted you so much that you can take the other Abyssal Deans and act freely on your own in the naval base all day long. Even Richelieu is entrusted to you. Now, even when the admiral returns, he runs to you like a chick running to its mother hen...

This must be a level of trust that surpasses even that of ordinary ship girls...

—As expected, you were the one who truly fell for its charm the most…

Pachina looked at Deep Sea Yamato, intending to offer some words of advice, but after thinking for a while, she chose to give up struggling.

pachina sighed again.

—Isn't it fine?

Chapter 914 Bismarck is comfortable again

Pachina is different from Deepsea Yamato, who constantly talks about the glory of the Deep Sea and his creed.

Pachina had voluntarily given up her identity as the Dean of the Deep Sea, leaving her originally safe Deep Sea home to elope for love and search for Xiaobai.

Although a minor accident occurred on the way, and Sukhbaatar, who was accidentally attacked by an area-of-effect attack in his cozy little home, became enraged, Pachina eventually resigned himself to his fate after seeing Xiaobai.

Being able to stay by Xiaobai's side, in terms of the outcome, can be considered a wish fulfilled.

Now that the wish has been fulfilled, nothing else matters.

Pachina never really felt like a true Abyssal ship, and she wasn't interested in building good relationships with the ship girls. So, naturally, Pachina had no desire to point out Yamato's traitorous tendencies.

After chatting happily with Shiro for a few minutes, Yamato picked Shiro up and stood up.
