Elder brother's garrison

Enterprise is the ship girl of Xiaobai's naval base.

Xiaobai, who had memorized the information about the ship girls in the naval base, recognized Enterprise's appearance.

"Enterprise! Enterprise!" Xiaobai exclaimed in astonishment.

"Yes, that's right, it's me." The company nodded in agreement with Xiaobai, also with a happy expression on its face.

Her long, golden hair trailed on the ground as she moved, swaying with her head.

—It's subtly reminiscent of a golden retriever seeing its owner.

"Why did you come here?" Xiaobai asked.

Enterprise is one of the ship girls who were stationed outside the naval base. When Shiro returned to the naval base, Lexington spread the news that the naval base had a new admiral.

Although many ship girls could not be contacted because they did not leave their contact information, a considerable number of ship girls still received the message.

For example, Veneto was among the first group of ship girls to return to the naval base.

However, apart from that, the naval base has not yet welcomed a second batch of ship girls home.

Lexington said it was because some of the ship girls had lived in human society for a long time and were therefore burdened with miscellaneous tasks, requiring some time to deal with them.

This isn't unscientific; when you're out in the world, you're bound to have some connection with the people around you. Xiaobai estimated the time and figured it was about time for the second batch of ship girls to return.

Unexpectedly, although the second batch of ship girls returned, they did not return to the naval base.

—They came directly to our door.

“Lexington said you came here.” Enterprise reached out and touched Little White’s arm. “Yeah, yeah, very strong.”

The company didn't use much force; it simply touched Xiaobai's bones through the flesh with its gloved hand.

"Ah...I see." Xiaobai looked at the company that was squatting in front of her, groping her. "...What are you doing?"

The company was rolling up Xiaobai's sleeves, pinching her arm while nodding as if assessing something.

"Oh? It's nothing." The company smiled at Xiaobai.

—This admiral looks very healthy.

That's wonderful.

The company stood up, put its hands under Xiaobai's armpits, and lifted Xiaobai up.

"Eh! Eh? Eh eh eh eh eh!" The company picked up Xiaobai like it was holding a child, which confused Xiaobai.

Wait a minute, there's a whole school watching from behind!

No!

The thought of a dignified teacher being held up at the school gate is terrifying!

Xiao Bai quickly turned around, and sure enough, right behind her, the gatekeeper was sitting in the house looking at her through the glass with a kind and simple expression.

Immediately, a wave of shame washed over me.

Don't look at me!

"Qiqi! Put me down!"

"Hahahaha!" Enterprise hugged Xiaobai like a doll, "The Admiral smells so good."

This ship girl!

There's something wrong with their head!

It took quite some time before the company calmed down at Xiaobai's urging.

So she put Xiaobai down, who was so embarrassed to go back to school.

Xiao Bai covered her face and squatted down on the ground.

"Ah... I'm sorry, Admiral, Enterprise got a little excited." Enterprise's slightly apologetic voice came through.

"...Companies, look behind me."

"Huh? It's a school."

"How many people are watching me?"

“...A few dozen, I suppose.” Enterprise looked towards the teaching building directly opposite the school gate; her eyesight allowed her to clearly see the faces of all the people gathered around the windows.

Xiao Bai sighed deeply.

That's it, social death.

Ship girls, being beings like this, don't really care about other people's opinions, so they usually prefer to express their feelings through physical contact.

From the company's perspective, it's no big deal to pick up and hug the cute admiral upon first meeting him and express their happiness. However, if dozens of students see this, then when Xiaobai comes to class tomorrow, strange rumors might start circulating throughout the school, such as "Our school's loli female teacher was molested by a pervert outside the school gate."

Never underestimate the ability of students to spread information. In this world, the only ones who can rival Hong Kong reporters are the most irresponsible and unruly high school students.

"Admiral, what's wrong?" Enterprise asked curiously when she saw Xiaobai squatting on the ground and not getting up.

“It’s nothing…” Xiaobai looked up and met the company’s eyes.

She sighed.

Speaking of this ship girl, why does she always seem so outgoing and friendly?

"Has the company seen me before?" Xiaobai asked.

Enterprise, this ship girl, doesn't seem to have the same slightly awkward feeling she had when she first met Hood or Bismarck. It's as if she's been with Shiro for a long time. Not only is there no awkwardness, but she can even give her bear hugs and joke around.

"Yes, I've seen the photos many times," the company replied, nodding.

"..."

Is it really possible to accept this level of difficulty so quickly...?

The businessman pulled down his hat brim, revealing a confident smile.

“Fate is a strange thing, Admiral,” Enterprise said. “I’m a big believer in that.”

Xiao Bai tilted her head in a slightly puzzled manner.

Enterprise is a ship girl, a product of the world's most advanced technology, yet she still believes in something as mysterious as fate.

"For example, when you don't have money, if you buy a few scratch-off lottery tickets, you can get money that you can spend for a long time."

"That was obviously just you getting lucky!"

"Hahahaha!" The company laughed, not knowing whether Xiaobai had actually listened to her words.

Xiao Bai, however, was feeling a bit tired.

Enterprise, this ship girl, seems to be much more difficult to deal with than I imagined, in another sense.

"Oh, Admiral, which sisters did you bring with you this time?" Enterprise asked as if she had just remembered something. "Are Bumblebee and Yorktown with you?"

"Huh? Didn't Lexington say you two were together?"

"Ah...it seems they haven't returned yet..." Enterprise pondered, stroking his chin.

Xiao Bai suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Huh?" Xiaobai was taken aback. "Did you get separated?"

"Um... no, the correct description should be, I'm lost." The company nodded and explained its situation.

"Forget it, I'm not going to think about these things anymore. Things will work themselves out." The company gave up on thinking about it.

"Wait... Enterprise, you just said you got lost..."

"Huh? I'm back now, aren't I?" Enterprise winked at Xiaobai. "In the end, it was clearly those two kids who got lost."

"Wait! Please explain yourself clearly!" Xiaobai suddenly remembered what Lexington had told him when she introduced her ship girl at the naval base.

Lexington said this to himself while pointing to a picture of the company.

"Enterprise is an aircraft carrier ship girl from the naval base, and she has a severe sense of direction. But this girl can find her way home by relying on intuition and luck. If you don't keep a close eye on her, it's not impossible for her to even end up on the other side of the world before she wants to go home."

“…Um…” Enterprise looked at Xiaobai’s expression, thought for a while, then turned its head and answered softly, “When I was staying at the hotel, I went out for a drive and accidentally went too far. When I realized it, it seemed like I was already in another city.”

Actually, companies don't usually want to tell newbies about something so embarrassing.

"Huh? What about Yorktown and Bumblebee, who were with you?" Little White asked.

"...I don't know." The company shrugged. "Maybe fate doesn't want me to find them."

So fate is just a tool you use to shift blame, isn't it?

"Didn't you call them?" Xiaobai asked.

“I don’t have a cell phone. Yorktown used to handle all my messages,” the company replied.

Xiaobai then understood the meaning of Lexington's statement that the company could go to the other side of the world before she wanted to go home.

"It's alright, Admiral. Those two children will definitely make it back to the naval base safely." Seeing the slightly worried look on Shiro's face, Enterprise gave him a thumbs-up and a reassuring smile.

When she got lost, the company originally intended to walk back to the naval base on her own. However, although she didn't know where the naval base was, she felt it might be quite far. So she decided to go find the admiral himself. It just so happened that she had overheard Yorktown talking on the phone earlier and learned that the admiral had gone on a business trip to Yuxiu.

Her business intuition told her that going to Yuxiu might be closer than returning to the garrison.

So she started wandering around. Anyway, once she decided on her destination, she might just end up at Yuxiu while she was wandering around.

While casually strolling around the company, he inadvertently saved a few newly built garrison bases, so consider it a good deed.

I happened to meet many kind-hearted people in the new garrison town who gave me directions and saved me a lot of time.

Xiaobai took out his phone and dialed the naval base's landline.

"Hello?" Lexington's reassuring voice came through.

"it's me."

"Oh, it's Xiaobai. What's up? Does the company work for you?"

Huh? Why does Lexington know about this?

"Yes, it's with me."

“Well, then I’m relieved.” Lexington’s voice remained completely calm, as if everything was going according to her plan. “I just received a call from Yorktown a few days ago, saying that the company had gone missing again, and asking if she had returned to the naval base.”

Is it common for businesses to disappear?

Xiao Bai sighed.

"Oh, then it's alright..."

“Well, don’t worry, Xiaobai. Losing a company isn’t a terrible thing. She’s lucky; she won’t get hit by a frying pan on the street like Taifeng did,” Lexington comforted her. “I have some things to take care of here, so I’ll hang up now.”

"OK, thank you."

With a click, the phone was disconnected.

—It seems like nothing's going on in Yorktown or with the Hornets.

Looking at it this way, it seems like only Xiaobai is acting like a fool and worrying about everything.

"Let's go back first..." Xiaobai turned around, ready to call the company home.

Then, she got halfway through her sentence and it got stuck in her throat.

Because there was no longer any company behind Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai quickly looked around.

The traces of that golden-haired ship girl seemed to have been erased as if by an eraser.

what?

What about businesses?

They've gotten lost again?!

Seeing how hard I've been working to update consistently, won't you guys give the lovely author a few votes?! (reaches out hand)

Xiao Bai stood alone at the school gate, trembling with fear, holding his phone.

"A company?" Xiaobai tentatively called out to his surroundings.

After waiting for several minutes, there was nothing at the huge school gate except for the chilling cold wind.

Xiaobai hasn't had a chance to connect with the company's network yet. If the company disappears, she will definitely not be able to find it.
