Elder brother's garrison

Page 108

Half of my body was submerged in seawater, and large patches of dead skin had peeled off my hands.

Seemingly used to this, Shiro ignored the ship girl named Enterprise who was looking at her and turned to leave.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Little White sitting on the beach not far away.

"Teacher Lu?" Bai Yinwu exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh, you know my admiral." Enterprise's voice rang out beside her.

"Are you Teacher Lu's ship girl?" Bai Yin asked.

"Yes, that's right." Enterprise nodded with a smile. "You're my admiral's student, aren't you?"

Bai Yinwu turned around and glanced at the company.

—I never imagined that Teacher Lu was actually an admiral.

This somewhat impolite thought echoed in Baiyinwu's mind.

Ah, it's not that I doubt Xiaobai's authenticity as an admiral, it's just that I always have a subtle feeling that someone with such a young appearance is unlikely to be the kind of hero who protects the country.

"What are you doing here? You're sitting in the sea without any reaction," the company asked. "Are you going to sit here all day? Your hands will get soaked and rotten."

Putting aside the issue of their hands getting soaked and rotting, there's a possibility that Shirayuki could drown in that spot when the tide comes in.

"...Thank you for your concern." Bai Yinwu didn't explain, but simply thanked the company and walked towards the beach.

He touched his clothes, which were soaked with seawater, and could only sigh helplessly.

Xiaobai interrupted the admiral's network and opened his eyes.

She watched as Bai Yinwu walked towards her.

"Why are you there?" Xiaobai asked.

"...I don't know." Compared to ignoring the company's questions, Bai Yinwu couldn't pretend to be profound when facing Xiaobai. He scratched his head and said, "Thank you, Teacher Lu, for waking me up."

"It's the company that's calling you, not me," Xiaobai replied with a smile.

"Thank you." Bai Yinwu nodded, patted his clothes, and after a moment of silence, slowly explained, "It was just simple sleepwalking."

"Sleepwalking?" Xiaobai looked at Bai Yinwu, who was soaked to the bone, and nodded. "Please be more careful next time."

Xiao Bai didn't ask any more questions.

Bai Yinwu expressed his gratitude to Xiaobai for not interfering too much, wrung out the water from his trousers on the beach, and left.

Xiao Bai stared in the direction Bai Yinwu had left.

The company returned.

"This person is so mean! He wouldn't tell me anything even when I asked him," the company said, sounding somewhat unhappy.

Although the company wasn't there, it clearly heard the conversation between Xiaobai and Baiyinwu.

"Haha, after all, I'm his teacher," Xiaobai said with a laugh.

"Should I send a plane to track him?" the company said.

Xiao Bai remained silent for a while.

Appearing at the beach at this time, in such a bizarre state, if it were just ordinary sleepwalking, it really wouldn't convince Xiaobai and the company.

In any case, we need to be very careful about Bai Yinwu.

"Okay." Xiaobai nodded.

The company then raised its hand and sent a white light into the sky.

"Could he be the source of the deep-sea reaction?" Xiaobai couldn't help but ask as he watched the light in the company's hand rise into the sky.

The timing and location of Bai Yinwu's appearance were too coincidental, causing Xiaobai to start to overthink.

“No.” However, the company simply shook its head. “He is human.”

If Shiroine were a deep-sea character, Enterprise, being a ship girl, would definitely sense it immediately at such close range.

"That's true, after all, you could drown." Xiaobai patted his face and said self-deprecatingly, "I was overthinking it."

"Are we going to Yuxiu's garrison headquarters next?" Enterprise asked.

Controlling an aircraft to track Bai Yinwu is not a complicated matter and does not require much effort from a company.

"Well. Since we've come this far anyway," Xiaobai said, pulling out the keys from her pocket. "Let's just say hello to Sister Youzi, shall we?"

“Oh,” the company replied.

After a minor incident, Shiro and Enterprise stepped into the naval base's security perimeter.

The perimeter of the naval base is a large open area.

Xiao Bai held the key and walked inside with the company.

For some reason, they didn't encounter anyone stopping Xiaobai and her friends along the way.

The two arrived at the gate of the garrison without any hindrance.

Unlike the naval base of Shiro's family, the gates of Yuzu's family's naval base were tightly closed.

The gate bears the five large characters "Yuxiu Garrison Command".

— Normally, a naval base is named primarily based on the place name because there is only one base per region.

Only Xiaobai's brother would give the naval base such a strange name.

Xiao Bai lifted the iron ring in front of the door and knocked on it.

The large iron gate, full of Chinese style, clanged loudly.

After a while, the door was pushed open a crack from the inside.

A small head with pink hair peeked out from the crack in the door, looking at Xiaobai.

It was Tirpitz I'd met before.

"Hello, Tirpitz, do you remember me?" Little White greeted Little Tirpitz.

Tirpitz pulled his head back.

A few seconds later, the door creaked open.

"Please come in," Tirpitz said cautiously to Little White, holding the door open.

"Admiral, this Tirpitz is so cute!" Enterprise was seeing little Tirpitz for the first time, and her eyes lit up as she looked at the diligent little girl guarding the gate, making no attempt to hide her affection.

Although this Tirpitz was much smaller than the one at home, it was more than ten times more obedient than the one at home.

She does indeed have a very likable appearance.

Looking at Tirpitz standing in front of him, Xiaobai couldn't help but reach out and pat her fluffy head.

Little Tirpitz squinted his eyes, seemingly enjoying himself.

"Hey, don't mess with other people's ship girls!" Just as Shiro was engrossed in patting Tirpitz's head, Yuzu's voice came from the house behind the door.

The same glamorous clothes, the same bright red lipstick.

However, at that moment, Miss Yuzu was walking towards this place with a toothbrush in her mouth and a water cup in her hand.

It's amazing that she can still speak so clearly while brushing her teeth.

"I'm sorry, Miss Yuzu." Xiaobai quickly withdrew his hand and apologized to Miss Yuzu.

"It's okay, it's okay. I touch it all the time, I understand that feeling." Yuzu brushed her teeth, her mouth full of white foam. "What's wrong, little white sister? What do you want to do here?"

Xiao Bai looked around.

This naval base is really quite small.

"Ah, no need to look anymore, it's just me and my little house here." Yuzu gulped down the water in her cup and then spat it onto the ground next to her.

"Huh?" Little White looked at Little Tirpitz beside him in surprise.

"Don't be surprised. Why do you think your brother is number one in the world?" Yuzu said with a look that said, "We're different from you. Most admirals in this world only have one or two ship girls, like me."

"Ah..." Xiaobai really wasn't quite sure about this.

I don't know why, but I feel really bad for Miss Yuzu.

Xiao Bai felt guilty.

Chapter 141 I won! I won!

Xiaobai told Youzi his intentions.

Xiaobai wants the company to detect deep-sea reactions around Yuzu's naval base.

After stating her position, Xiaobai went on to explain.

"I trust Sister Youzi's character, but I searched all over Yuxiu and really couldn't find the place, so I had no choice but to try my luck here. I hope Sister Youzi won't be angry," Xiaobai explained to Youzi, a rather embarrassed expression appearing on her face.

—Because going to someone else's naval base to look for Abyssal is like suspecting Yuzu of defecting to the enemy Abyssal, which is somewhat insulting.

Xiao Bai originally thought that this behavior would displease Miss Yuzu, and she might even leave with a cold face and take the arm.

However, the result was that Yuzu listened to what Xiaobai said and shrugged indifferently.

"Okay, just pick one." Yuzu had just finished washing up. She tossed her toothbrush into the water glass in her hand, reached out with her other hand to wipe the foam off her lips, and wiped off some of her lipstick.

"Huh?" Things were going too smoothly, making Xiaobai wonder if she was dreaming.

"What kind of expression is that?" Yuzu poked Xiaobai's forehead with her finger. "You child, do you even know what adults are thinking? I'm not going to play mind games with you."

Yuzu's fingers were icy cold from being wet, and when she poked Xiaobai's forehead, it made Xiaobai shiver.

"Besides, I don't have an admiral network or any aircraft carrier ship girls, so it's not a bad thing to find someone with both to help me scout." Yuzu said as she turned her back, stretched, and walked towards the house inside. "Ah—just find someone, treat it like your naval base."

Yuzu even yawned.

Xiao Bai covered his forehead, watching Youzi's lazy, mature back.

...So...so handsome.

Although she kept saying discouraging things, I still think Miss Yuzu is so cool.

Xiaobai wants to be a cool woman like that.

"Hmm!" Just as Yuzu was thinking this, her ship girl Tirpitz tugged at Shiro's sleeve and reached out her hand to Shiro.

Xiao Bai was stunned for a moment before realizing that this was probably an invitation to a reward.

Xiao Bai rummaged through his pockets.

What should I give him? Little White didn't bring any snacks with him.

"Enterprise, do you have any potato chips or cola on you?" Xiaobai, who couldn't find anything, asked Enterprise next to him somewhat awkwardly.

The company blinked and pulled out an airplane.

“This is all we have,” the company said, looking at its carrier-based aircraft.

Although Xiaobai really wants to complain about why companies treat their carrier-based aircraft like potato chips and cola, now seems like the wrong time.

Little Tirpitz, standing next to Little White, was holding out his hand and watching her intently.

His eyes held a look of deep resentment and bitterness, as if he were facing an unscrupulous merchant employing child laborers.

In despair, Xiaobai took out his wallet, pulled out a red banknote, and placed it in Tirpitz's hand.

Xiao Bai said, "This is all I have..."

Tirpitz is such a young ship girl that she might not even have a concept of money, and Xiaobai doesn't know if this will work.

Tirpitz held up the banknotes Little White had given him and examined them carefully in the sunlight.

After a long while, Tirpitz smiled happily.

—Is this how you determine the authenticity of a banknote by looking at the watermark?!

Little Tirpitz put the banknotes back into his pocket, as if afraid that Little White would change his mind, and ran away in a flash.

"Admiral, this counts as attempted abduction," Enterprise reminded him from the side.

"Uh." At this moment, Xiaobai was immersed in a different kind of self-reflection. "Enterprise, am I now using capitalism to corrupt the heart of a pure ship girl?"

"I guess so." Enterprise shrugged. "It's okay, Tirpitz is the same way anyway. If they don't act like this now, they'll eventually degenerate into staying at home all day and relying on the Admiral to support them."

"Don't say that to Tirpitz."
