Elder brother's garrison

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry! I was just too impulsive, I... I didn't recognize you, Admiral Xiaobai, I'm so sorry!" In the hotel lobby, Pompeii squatted by the table, banging his head on the table, and kept bowing his head to apologize to Xiaobai.

"No need, no need, it's really okay. You didn't recognize Pompeii just because Missouri's disguise level is too high..." Little White, who had put his baseball cap back on, sat on the sofa and smiled shyly at Pompeii amidst Iowa and Wisconsin's constant touching and provocation.

"But……"

"It's really nothing, compared to now." Xiaobai gave a forced laugh to Pompeii, who was apologizing.

"The Admiral's appearance is quite novel... It's completely different from his previous style." Iowa stroked Whitey's head, her eyes sparkling with joy.

"Mmm... Waaah... Mmm." Wisconsin touched Xiaobai's thigh with one hand and put her arm around Xiaobai's waist with the other, looking like a serious archaeologist, but her hands were quite restless.

"Inhale, inhale." Hindenburg lay on the back of the sofa, his face full of doubt as he brought his nose close to the back of Xiaobai's neck, sniffing carefully, as if trying to determine whether the disguised Xiaobai was the real person.

This morning, Missouri spent several hours dressing up Xiaobai in men's clothing to create what she called a "slightly inconspicuous" outfit.

After briefly glancing at herself in the mirror, Xiaobai was consumed by shame for quite some time.

My reflection in the mirror.

Surprisingly, it didn't look out of place at all.

Never expected it.

I never imagined I would have such a terrifying talent for menswear.

Xiaobai, who was surprised by how well he adapted to men's clothing, spent some time contemplating life and then suddenly realized it was already six in the morning.

In order not to frighten Yamato, Shiro and Missouri said a quick goodbye to Yamato, who was still asleep, and then left the room.

Because he was a little late, Xiaobai unconsciously quickened his pace and bumped into Pompeii, who was just near the stairwell.

And then.

That is, he was captured and enjoyed by Pompeii.

"I never imagined that the luggage, which was meant to conceal our identity, would become so dazzling in another sense because it was concealed so perfectly," Iowa said with a sigh, stroking Xiaobai's head and cupping half of her face.

"Uh...that is a problem." Xiaobai sighed.

While Missouri's new look perfectly concealed Shiro's original identity, it seemed to have a huge impact on ship girls who liked Shiro.

“In that case, it seems the Admiral will have to wear oversized sunglasses no matter what.” Missouri sighed and handed over a pair of oversized sunglasses with both hands.

"Uh... double insurance... double insurance." Xiaobai muttered a couple of times, took the sunglasses, and put them on his eyes.

Don't say it.

The Missouri outfit did have some effect.

At least Xiaobai's current outfit, paired with those big sunglasses, actually looks somewhat fitting, and he no longer resembles a suspicious criminal.

After putting on sunglasses, just like Superman getting a 100% identity-hiding buff when he puts on glasses, Xiaobai's big sister aura also subsided, and the ship girls around her gradually regained their composure.

I ate a simple breakfast.

It's almost time to leave the village and catch the train.

Before leaving, Xiaobai and the ship girls went to Jinghua's house to briefly tell Jinghua and her teacher that Xiaobai would be leaving for two or three days.

After learning that Xiaobai would be leaving for a while, Jinghua was initially a little panicked and at a loss. However, after Xiaobai said that her other ship girls would stay and wait for her to return, Jinghua, even though she was still a little worried, finally nodded obediently, took Xiaobai's hand and said, "Big sister, come back safely."

As expected of a former admiral, Kyoka's teacher didn't say anything after Shiro expressed his wishes; he simply nodded silently.

No wonder he's a retired admiral who's seen it all.

Of course, let's get back to this point.

This is probably because Jinghua's teacher is very familiar with the extent of infection in this sea area.

After all, the infection level in the waters around this village is currently too low. With this level of deep-sea infection, it's unlikely that even a deep-sea vessel would emerge in just a few days, let alone ten days or half a month.

In conclusion, after saying goodbye to the Jinghua family, Xiaobai and her group arrived at the village entrance and, under the watchful eyes of the ship girls including Missouri, left the village with Iowa and Pompeii.

The village's exit was crooked and twisted.

A narrow, winding path.

But the sun was shining brightly.

The road to Fish City lies ahead.

As the three of them walked along the road, they felt as if they were embarking on a new adventure.

"Admiral Xiaobai, Admiral Xiaobai." Pompey quietly tugged at Xiaobai's sleeve.

"What's wrong, Pompeii?"

"Could you take your glasses off?" Pompeii blushed and looked at Xiaobai expectantly.

"……no."

"Just for a little while, I won't do anything else..."

"……no."

"Well……"

This new adventure.

For a novice, it's a danger in a different sense.

Chapter 1330 It's Good to Be Rich

There are nearly ten thousand cities of all sizes in the world. Fish City has developed relatively well because it has long been away from the threat of deep-sea disasters and has good transportation. It ranks among the top cities in the world.

Xiao Bai, Pompeii, and Iowa followed the route they had taken and arrived at the nearby train station before noon. There were almost no pedestrians inside the train station, only a few staff members yawning in the sun.

The person who greeted Xiaobai and the others was a pretty young lady at the ticket counter.

Originally, this young lady was yawning and lamenting the dullness of life, but the moment she saw Xiaobai, her maternal instincts suddenly kicked in. She showered Xiaobai with concern and did everything herself. When she learned that Xiaobai was going to Yucheng for tourism, she recommended more than a dozen travel guides for surrounding cities. After buying the tickets, the counter lady stayed close to Xiaobai and the others, constantly asking if they needed any help. Her service was so warm and attentive that she was practically ready to jump out from behind the counter, hug Xiaobai, and give her a kiss.

Although the young lady's enthusiastic service made Xiaobai a little scared, he was also forced to learn about the history of the train station through chatting with her.

About ten years ago.

Because of its coastal location, a small town was originally planned to be built in this area to monitor the state of the sea.

As the saying goes, "If you want to get rich, build roads first." At that time, this small train station was built on the railway track to facilitate transportation.

However, not long after the small train station was completed, the shareholders who built the city suddenly withdrew their investment for some unknown reason. The construction team, having no resources, had no choice but to stop work, leaving the lonely train station behind.

The railway was completed, and trains were bound to pass through. The construction team had stopped working, and the train station couldn't be left unattended. So, the administrator temporarily hired some good-looking and healthy young people from the surrounding villages to work there.

This young lady is one of the village beauties who were hired.

Several tens of minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

With the help of the enthusiastic young lady.

The train has finally arrived at the station.

Little White, pulling along the two ship girls, bid farewell to the older sister like a chick being hunted by a hungry wolf, and fled onto the train under the older sister's disappointed gaze.

"Ah... I'm saved..." After running onto the train, Xiaobai leaned against the train's metal wall and let out a heavy sigh of relief.

"It seems the Admiral's outfit is quite popular." Iowa stood beside Xiaobai, watching Xiaobai's tired expression as he wore large sunglasses, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle teasingly.

"Uh..." Xiaobai swallowed hard, glancing fearfully at the train station outside the train door, which was shrinking and receding into the distance. "That was terrifying..."

"I think this will be the norm for this trip, so please be mentally prepared, Admiral," Iowa said to Shiro with a smile.

“The norm is…” Xiaobai, sweating profusely, looked up at Iowa with a somewhat bewildered expression and a helpless look. “Iowa… I have a question for you…”

"Hmm... Admiral, please speak."

"Do I really look better in men's clothes than in women's clothes..." Xiaobai muttered softly.

"..." Iowa paused, a hint of curiosity appearing in her eyes, "Why would the Admiral have such a thought?"

"That's because the treatment is completely different..." Xiaobai sighed and looked down at his jacket.

"Pfft... This?" Iowa chuckled and shook her head. "The admiral is still a girl, so of course her usual women's clothing is more suitable and cute."

"Eh... but when I wore that outfit before..."

“Well.” Iowa pursed her lips, a smile in her eyes. “When the Admiral is dressed as a woman, he’s always with us ship girls. It’s like a flower in a patch of green grass, or a flower in a garden. The beauty of the flower itself hasn’t changed at all. It’s just that because it lacks a backdrop, its impact is much less.”

"oh oh……"

“Of course, there’s an even more important reason.” Iowa raised a finger.

"What's the reason?"

“If a man treated the Admiral like Sister Pompeii did this morning, he would most likely be charged with indecent assault and taken to the police station. But if you are a boy, Admiral, the way Sister Pompeii treated you is not a problem at all,” Iowa said.

"Eek..." Little White shrank back and hugged his arms. "This is so unfair..."

“I don’t think it’s unfair,” Iowa said with a smile and shook her head. “Men and women express their emotions differently. You see, we girls often hug and kiss each other, but boys rarely do that.”

"...I see..."

"In short, Iowa's opinion is that the Admiral is most suitable when he is a girl, but he is also quite good as a boy." Iowa smiled with satisfaction. "But Admiral, you'd better get used to your identity as a big sister killer soon."

"The big sister killer is alright... but should I switch back?" Xiaobai looked tired.

“Admiral, isn’t it a good thing to be liked by women? It’s much better than your identity being exposed,” Iowa said with a smile.

"Hmm...that's true." Xiaobai sighed. "Well then, let's hurry and find seats before it gets too crowded..."

"Yes, Admiral." Iowa took out his phone and pointed it at Xiaobai's face.

"...Iowa?"

"Admiral, eggplant."

"eggplant?"

*Crunch*

Iowa's phone made a camera shutter sound.

Iowa smiled and mysteriously tapped away on her phone for a while.

"Iowa? What were you just doing...?"

"Ah, it's a rare sight for the Admiral, so I thought I'd take a picture as a memento." Iowa laughed, flipping her phone screen over to show it to Shiro. "Admiral, what do you think?"

Iowa's phone screen is still showing a picture of Xiaobai.

"..." Xiaobai glanced silently at Pompeii behind him.

Pompeii also took out her phone early, secretly pointed it at Xiaobai, her face flushed with nervousness, and her fingers tapped the screen countless times.

Xiao Bai always felt that...

I need to return the outfit as soon as possible before these two ship girls do anything terrible...

The train took a whole day to reach Fish City.

After spending a peaceful day and night with Missouri and Pompeii, and being treated like a model by these two ship girls, who took so many photos of me that they could fill a photobook, the train finally arrived at its destination.

We've arrived at Fish City.

As the train arrived at its destination, the passengers gathered their luggage and stood up, forming several long queues and crowding towards the doors. Xiaobai and the ship girls packed their things and stayed at the end of the queue, following the flow of people out of the train and into the bustling Fish City train station.

While Yucheng's level of prosperity may not be comparable to that of first- or second-tier cities, it is at least adequate.

The train station was packed with people, a dense crowd of heads jostling one another, with burly men occasionally struggling through the throng carrying large and small sacks.

Xiao Bai, who hadn't seen so many people in a long time, was stunned by the sight before him as soon as he got off the bus.

"Admiral Xiaobai, this way, follow me."

Pompeii took Xiaobai and Iowa's hands in the crowd and led them toward a passing tour group. Following the end of the tour group, they squeezed through the crowd for several dozen steps until they suddenly saw the exit of the train station.

I left the train station.

Although the streets were still crowded, they were not as scary as the train station.

After catching his breath by the roadside, Xiaobai looked at Pompeii with gratitude.

"Thank you, Pompeii."

"It's just a narrow alley, no problem at all." Pompeii chuckled at Xiaobai. "Zara and I are used to navigating train stations like this."

"It's amazing..."

Xiao Bai exclaimed sincerely.
