Elder brother's garrison

Page 105

That's a treasure that even the Hornet and Yorktown aircraft carriers couldn't find! How are you expecting a nobody like Xiaobai, who didn't even graduate high school, to find it?

Xiao Bai originally wanted to call Lexington again, but then she remembered what Lexington had told her: even if the company was lost, she shouldn't worry.

—Forget it, I won't make the call. The company doesn't seem like it'll starve anyway.

Xiao Bai recalled the company's careless expression.

That's a quality that only people who are used to having everything go their way can develop.

-

In the end, Xiaobai managed to bring the company back.

No, that statement is not quite correct.

To be precise, the company itself returned to Xiaobai's side.

Just as Xiaobai reached the entrance of her building, she saw a golden-haired ship girl standing not far away with her arms crossed, looking around.

The familiar sailor uniform, a size smaller than usual, and white silk boots.

It was that lost ship girl.

"Oh! Admiral." Enterprise saw Shiro walking towards her and smiled without any guard. "I've finally waited for you."

"Does the company know I live here?" Xiaobai asked.

"Huh? I don't know." Enterprise asked curiously, "Admiral, where is this place?"

While waiting for Xiaobai to call at the school gate, the company saw a butterfly and, out of a playful mood, went to take a look. However, after looking at the butterfly, the company found itself in a strange place, and when it tried to find its way back, it couldn't find its way back.

Ah, it seems they've gotten lost again. That's what the company realized.

Fortunately, it wasn't a big problem. Getting lost wasn't a one-off thing for them, so the company decided to take advantage of the moment and wander around.

Anyway, you might see the Admiral again while you're wandering around.

Then, while strolling through a residential area, the company indeed spotted the Admiral again.

Looking at the company's Quincy-like expression, Xiaobai finally realized how foolish he had been to worry about the company before.

This ship girl is probably the illegitimate daughter of the goddess of fortune, or a protagonist blessed by the heavens. In a fantasy novel, she would be the kind of overpowered protagonist who can meet an imperial princess she falls in love with just by walking around, find the Nine Yang Divine Skill by casually flipping over a cliff after falling off it, or hatch a phoenix from a duck egg she buys on the street.

"This is where I live right now," Xiaobai said without explaining the exact location to the company.

Anyway, explaining would just be a waste of breath.

"Oh, this is a really nice place." The company nodded, a look of admiration on its face. "So there are airplane sellers here too? Human labor is truly admirable."

"Sell airplanes?" The company's words left Xiaobai completely confused.

"Well, look." The company pulled out two small airplanes from behind its back.

Two palm-sized blue airplanes rest in the company's hands, like exquisite toys.

However, Xiaobai could tell that this was no ordinary toy; it was a miniature version of a ship girl's carrier-based aircraft.

"I found this on the road just now," Enterprise said, picking up the plane and examining it closely. "This is the ship girl's plane, but it seems to have been disconnected from its owner's ship equipment for some strange reason. But if there's an unused plane around here, it must be because there's somewhere I can buy one."

The company reasoned logically.

Xiao Bai felt that the planes the company had looked very familiar.

—Those are Saratoga's carrier-based aircraft.

A while ago, during the first detection of Yuxiu's deep-sea reaction with Saratoga, Xiaobai's admiral network was too exciting, causing Saratoga's ship equipment to crash for a long time. The two planes that were launched at that time were also damaged and could not be recovered.

The ship girl's planes, strictly speaking, are like the ship girl's secretions. It's quite upsetting if some strange person picks them up and does strange things with them. Later, Saratoga and Shiro searched around for quite a while, but because the broken planes were no different from ordinary metal, even with the Admiral's Network's detection capabilities, Saratoga couldn't find the two planes.

—But the result was that the company found it.

"This is the plane Saratoga lost a while ago. Where did you find it on the road, Enterprise?" Xiaobai asked.

"Oh, is this Saratoga's plane? No wonder it felt familiar." Enterprise looked down at the two planes in her hands and said, "Hmm... I think it was in the river. I vaguely remember that when I found it, there was water all around my feet."

The company closed its eyes and carefully recalled the events.

Why would a company go to the river?

How could the company find such an inconspicuous airplane in the river?

Why would businesses still come back here? The nearest river is quite far away!

Sometimes, when you have too much to say, you end up not being able to say it at all.

Just like Xiaobai is now.

She moved her lips, but chose to remain silent.

"Let's go back." Xiaobai chose to avoid looking at the two small blue planes in the company's hands.

Seeing that the plane that he and Saratoga had searched for for so long was picked up by the company so casually, like picking up trash, Xiaobai always felt a strange sense of frustration.

Xiao Bai brought the company home.

When the door opened, Missouri was standing behind it, holding a freshly washed cucumber.

"Oh, is this a new senior?" Missouri turned around and met Enterprise and Xiaobai who were entering, and gave them a polite smile.

Saratoga also walked to the door at that moment and brought the shredder to the front of Missouri.

"Hi, Saratoga!" Enterprise greeted the two people in front of her. "And who are these ladies?"

"Greetings, senior. My name is Missouri." Missouri took the shredder from Saratoga and bowed to the company.

"Oh, Missouri?!" Enterprise was sensitive to the name. "What an amazing ship girl. Where did she come from?"

"Missouri is just a new ship girl, please take good care of me, senior," Missouri replied humbly.

The politeness of Missouri gave the company a great deal of goodwill.

"That voice sounds familiar. Who is it?" Hood, holding a cleaver, poked her head out from the kitchen behind Missouri.

She adjusted her glasses with her other hand and looked over at Xiaobai.

"...Enterprise? What are you doing here?" Hood's eyes lit up when he saw the newcomer, and he asked with some curiosity, "Where are Yorktown and Bumblebee? Aren't they with you?"

"Haha, we got separated." The company said without any sense of guilt.

"That's definitely a corporate style of doing things." Hood chuckled, then ducked back into the kitchen. "Oh, I just bought a lot of ingredients today. Would you like to have dinner together?"

"Lucky!" The company nodded happily.

The company and Xiaobai entered the room.

Missouri continued to help Hood in the kitchen, while White and Saratoga led the Enterprise into the living room.

"The room is a bit small." The company looked around.

"After all, it's just a temporary stay," Xiaobai explained.

"Hello, Sister Enterprise." Upon hearing the voice in the living room, Changchun stood up and looked towards Enterprise.

"Is it another new sister?" The company looked at Changchun and asked with some curiosity.

This ship girl gave her a familiar feeling, but she really couldn't remember who she was after searching her memory.

After all, Changchun is completely different from what it was before after the renovation, and businesses certainly wouldn't recognize it.

“She is courageous,” Saratoga said.

"Wow, such a big change! It looks much better now." The enterprise glanced at Changchun, "It's become a light cruiser?"

"Still a destroyer!" Changchun replied.

"Hahaha, that's great, it's lively." The company member sat down on the sofa with a very familiar air.

Beside the sofa, Tirpitz was wearing headphones and playing on his laptop.

"Hi Tirpitz," the company greeted Tirpitz.

"Hmm." Tirpitz seemed busy operating the game, glancing at Enterprise beside him before nodding and remaining silent.

Tirpitz's aloofness was well-known even within the naval base.

Seeing that the ship girls had already greeted each other, Shiro sat down on the sofa and said to Saratoga, "Saratoga, your plane has been found."

"Where?" Saratoga tilted his head.

The company took out the two blue airplanes, spread them out in their hands, and handed them to Saratoga.

"Thank you." Saratoga took the plane.

Once these carrier-based aircraft break down, they're truly broken. Even if they return to their owners, they can't be repaired. Saratoga retrieved the aircraft simply because he didn't want it to end up in someone else's possession.

The equipment on an aircraft carrier consists of prototype aircraft, typically one aircraft per four shipboard space slots. These prototype aircraft have no combat capability, but they can serve as templates for the aircraft carrier to manufacture its own aircraft using aluminum. The prototype aircraft is placed in the corresponding shipboard space slot, and a large amount of aluminum is poured in. The aluminum is then gradually replicated by the prototype aircraft into an aircraft that can be used for combat.

So this thing is like a part of the ship girl's body, a bit like a clipped nail or shaved hair.

Even though this thing is no longer of any use, it still feels really upsetting to have someone else pick it up and keep it.

Saratoga retrieved the damaged aircraft into its own shipboard storage space.

"Do businesses usually find these kinds of things easily?" Xiaobai asked from the side.

"Hmm? It's not that easy," the company said after thinking for a moment. "Usually I find some cell phones, wallets, lottery tickets, and the like. Oh, and a few times I've found checks, but I'm afraid the person who lost them will worry, so I carefully put these things back where they belong."

It was alright a few times.

An ordinary person would never have the chance to find a check in their entire life...

Xiao Bai thought to himself.

The company is incredibly lucky...

……

Hmm? Wait a minute. Suddenly, Xiaobai had a bold idea.

"Is the company available tomorrow?"

"Yes, I have time."

"Can you come out with me?" Xiaobai asked.

With the company's incredible luck, they might actually be able to solve the mystery of Yuxiu's deep-sea reaction.

Chapter 138 Unable to Get Married

"Hmm? That's certainly possible." The company nodded. "But could you tell me what I need to do?"

There wasn't much going on at the company, so she was quite free. She just didn't expect to be assigned work the very first time she met the new admiral.

—This admiral is really an impatient person.

So Xiaobai briefly explained the deep-sea reaction to the company.

"Deep-sea reaction?" After listening to Xiaobai's words, the company crossed its arms in distress and fell into deep thought. "I didn't know anything about this."

A deep-sea reaction has occurred in a human city; this is an extraordinary event.

"This is a confidential information, and the company should not easily disclose it to others," Xiaobai nodded and said.

“No problem,” the company replied. “Oh, right, since we’re going to do this, please connect to me using the Admiral’s Network first.”

The rapid clatter of Tirpitz's keyboard suddenly stopped beside him.

The business owner could feel that the whole room fell silent after he said those words.

You can hear the needle drop.

Missouri and Hood, who were chopping vegetables in the kitchen, popped their heads out and stared at her with a smile that the company couldn't understand.

Tirpitz stood up with his laptop and sat down opposite the company.

Changchun and Saratoga also covered their mouths and whispered to each other as they looked at the company.

Being surrounded by so many people made the company feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Huh? Did I say something strange?" Enterprise looked at everyone and asked, somewhat puzzled. "Didn't the Admiral activate the Admiral Network?"

"No, no, I've already activated it." Xiaobai explained, staring at the company's beautiful blue eyes. "Hmm, that makes sense, it needs to be linked."

Xiao Bai secretly gave himself a pep talk.

"Okay, please come in." The company smiled broadly.

"Please don't struggle in a moment..." Xiaobai suggested.
