Elder brother's garrison

Page 1270

The colorful ship girls, in groups of three, chatted and laughed, some elegantly and some lively, while carrying trays to select their favorite foods at the table. They moved freely, their faces radiant with warmth. The ship girls' soft voices accompanied by their crisp footsteps, and their beautiful figures drifted by. The fragrant breeze was like a beautiful scene.

Since the newbie naval base did not participate in the mission to conquer the deep-sea territory, most of the people in the restaurant were ship girls from the newbie naval base.

A corner of the restaurant.

Under the soft lighting of the restaurant, the ship girls warmly surrounded Shiro.

"Admiral, ah—"

Missouri, holding a small plate full of spaghetti, smiled and used her fork to twirl a few strands of noodles dipped in tomato sauce, offering them to Little White's mouth.

"Ah—" Little White opened his mouth, letting Missouri feed him a small bite of spaghetti. He chewed it carefully for a while, then smiled at Missouri. "Mmm, delicious. Thank you, Missouri."

"Thank you, Admiral." Missouri smiled, rolled up a few more strands of spaghetti, bent down, and handed them to Shiro. "Well, Admiral, there's more to come, ah—"

"what……"

"Me too! I want to feed Little White too!" Saratoga, who had been staring at Missouri and Little White for a long time, couldn't resist any longer. She picked up her plate, hurriedly shoved a few swipes into the spaghetti on the table, stuck up a meatball covered in sauce, and squeezed it in front of Little White. "My turn!"

Saratoga nervously handed the fork to Little White.

"Little White...eat meat, ah..."

Just as Xiaobai was about to open his mouth and let Saratoga push the meatball into it, suddenly, a series of light footsteps sounded in Xiaobai's ears.

"Admiral Lu Lin!"

Zhao Kuo, the admiral, shouted excitedly behind Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai was taken aback, closed his mouth, and looked behind him.

Zhao Kuo, the admiral, held a wine glass in one hand and waved the other at Xiao Bai with a warm smile.

"Ah... it's Admiral Zhao Kuo." Xiao Bai put down his plate and fork, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and smiled at Admiral Zhao Kuo who was walking towards him. "Good evening, Admiral Zhao Kuo."

"Good evening, Admiral Lu Lin, and good evening, ladies of the ship... Huh?!" Admiral Zhao Kuo was about to greet the ship girls when he saw Saratoga pouting and glaring at him like a bloated hamster, and he was immediately startled. "Uh..."

Zhao Kuo, the admiral, stared blankly at Saratoga.

"Um...excuse me, did I come at the wrong time?"

"……snort."

Although Saratoga was angry that Zhao Kuo had interrupted his feeding plan, he didn't take it out on a stranger. He turned his back, channeled his anger into his appetite, picked up a piece of spaghetti from the table and stuffed it into his mouth without saying anything more.

"Good evening, Admiral Zhao Kuo." Missouri smiled and nodded at Admiral Zhao Kuo.

"Oh...you, hello..." Admiral Zhao Kuo scratched his head, still somewhat confused.

"It's alright, Admiral Zhao Kuo. We're all quite free today," Xiao Bai said with a smile to Admiral Zhao Kuo. "Is there something you need, Admiral Zhao Kuo?"

"Ah... I see." After hearing Xiaobai's explanation, Admiral Zhao Kuo's embarrassed expression eased a bit. He scratched his head and smiled gratefully at Xiaobai, "Actually, I didn't come here for any important matter. I just wanted to come and thank Admiral Lu Lin."

"Huh? Thank me?"

"Yes, this emergency operation was made possible by your rookie naval base, which contributed the most and played the most crucial role. This banquet was originally held for Admiral Lu Lin," Admiral Zhao Kuo said with a smile, then raised his wine glass to Xiao Bai and said, "Thanks to everyone for your help, this event was made possible. I am very grateful! Admiral Lu Lin, I'd like to propose a toast to you!"

"Eh?!"

Xiao Bai was taken aback. Looking at the wine glass in Zhao Kuo's hand, he subconsciously picked up a glass from where the wine glasses were on the table and looked at Zhao Kuo nervously.

But the next second.

The wine glass in Xiaobai's hand was taken away by Missouri next to him.

“Admiral Zhao Kuo, I’m very sorry, but Missouri… shall drink this glass of wine on my behalf?” Missouri said to Admiral Zhao Kuo with a smile, holding his wine glass.

"Of course!" Zhao Kuo, the admiral, did not hesitate at all. He tilted his head back and gulped down the wine.

Missouri tilted her glass and took a small sip.

"belch……"

Zhao Kuo, the admiral, let out a burp, and a flush rose to his face.

Zhao Kuo, the admiral, was clearly not a good drinker. It seemed that apart from offering toasts, he didn't know anything about banquet etiquette. After downing a glass of wine, Zhao Kuo smiled sheepishly at Xiao Bai and Missouri.

"This is the first time I've ever toasted someone else at a party... I'm so sorry, I made a fool of myself."

“Admiral Zhao Kuo is truly a generous and forthright man,” Missouri replied with a smile.

"Generous... generous, huh... sigh... I'm hardly generous at all." Admiral Zhao Kuo scratched his head sheepishly and grinned at Missouri. "I've compiled nearly a million words of plans for this expedition, and it's all been completely useless. If you, ship girl, were to call me a cowardly coward, I'd believe you..."

"No way, Admiral Zhao Kuo, your plan is very reliable!" Xiao Bai quickly said. "Although this event ended early, if it weren't for Admiral Zhao Kuo's plan when Chao Dahe led the surprise attack, the land would have been in chaos long ago."

"Those are just petty tricks and schemes, nothing to brag about..." Zhao Kuo, the admiral, blushed with embarrassment at Xiao Bai's praise.

“But it is indeed very useful, isn’t it?” Missouri said with a smile.

“Yes, usability is the most important thing,” Xiaobai agreed.

"Haha...hahaha." Admiral Zhao Kuo scratched his head and chuckled dryly, the flush from the alcohol spreading across his face. "This wine...it's a bit strong. Thank you, Admiral Lu Lin, thank you, Miss Ship Girl...I'll go to the back to sober up now. Since this banquet is for Miss Lu Lin, the other admirals will be coming to greet you one after another, so I won't disturb you any longer..."

Done.

Admiral Zhao Kuo, holding his empty wine cup, bowed again to Xiao Bai, then turned and skipped away.

"There are others too..." Xiao Bai muttered softly, watching Zhao Kuo's jubilant back as if he had been encouraged.

Just as Admiral Zhao Kuo said.

Just after Admiral Zhao Kuo left.

Guild Master Er Gou, Duan Shuiliu, and Admiral Nanxing approached together.

"Little White—it's our turn!" Guild Master Er Gou waved to Little White, came to Little White's side, hugged Little White tightly, and ruffled Little White's hair. "How was it? What did Zhao Kuo say to you just now?"

"President Sister... Admiral Zhao Kuo didn't say anything, he just thanked me for my efforts in this event..." Xiao Bai said in President Er Gou's arms, then turned to look at Admiral Nan Xing and Duan Shui Liu, "Ah, Sister Duan, Sister Nan Xing, hello!"

Duan Shuiliu and Nanxing waved to Xiaobai.

"Zhao Kuo is such a boring guy, he can't even say anything nice at a banquet." After hearing Xiao Bai's words, President Er Gou helplessly let go of his hand and shrugged at Xiao Bai. "You see, I'm different."

"Hmm? The student council president?"

"Hmm." President Er Gou nodded seriously and pointed to another corner of the restaurant. "Xiao Bai, look."

Xiao Bai looked in the direction that Chairman Er Gou was pointing.

In the corner of the restaurant in the distance.

Admiral Lian and Admiral Ling lay silently on the table laden with delicacies amidst the bright lights and revelry of the evening party.

"Eh? Admiral Lian and Admiral Ling are..."

"Those two would be dangerous if left unattended. I was worried you might wake up in their beds tomorrow morning, so to ensure you have a safe party, I secretly gave them a tiny bit of sleeping pills before coming here, under the guise of toasting them." Guild Master Er Gou said righteously to Xiao Bai, "How about it, thank me!"

"..." Xiaobai was silent for a moment, "...Thank you, President Sister."

"Haha." President Er Gou waved to Xiao Bai as he said this, "So Xiao Bai, have fun tonight! I'm off now."

"Hmm? Where are you going, President Sister?"

"Need I say more? Of course, we'll keep an eye on those two and make sure the destroyers at the party aren't threatened!" Er Gou pointed righteously at Admiral Lian and Admiral Ling, who were slumped over the table in the distance. "Don't worry, I'll take them away. They won't be allowed to leave... cough cough, they won't be allowed to show up all night!"

President Er Gou skipped away, and under Xiao Bai's watchful eye, he carried the sleeping Admiral Lian and Admiral Ling on his back and ran towards the dormitory building.

"……"noob.

Ok……

how to say.

President Er Gou is clearly abusing her power for personal gain...

Maybe I should just pretend I didn't see it.

Xiao Bai looked at Duan Shuiliu and Admiral Nanxing.

"Sister Duan, Sister Nanxing, would you like some noodles?" Xiaobai asked Duan Shuiliu and Nanxing with a smile, stabbing a piece of spaghetti from her plate with a fork.

Duan Shuiliu and Nan Xing blinked, then bent down, brushed a strand of long hair behind their ears, and opened their mouths towards Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai fed a few strands of spaghetti into Duan Shuiliu's and Nan Xing's mouths.

"Thank you."

Nanxing and Duan Shuiliu stood up, covered their mouths and chewed for a while, then smiled slightly at Xiaobai.

"You're welcome!"

"Have you fully recovered from your illness these past few days?"

Nanxing asked Xiaobai.

Admiral Nanxing was asking about the reason why Xiaobai had asked for leave a few days ago.

"Ah... um!" Xiaobai nodded.

"That's good." Admiral Nanxing carefully examined Xiaobai's face for a while, then looked up at the other end of the restaurant. "And those gentlemen are..."

Xiao Bai followed Admiral Nanxing's gaze.

It was in an inconspicuous corner of the restaurant.

The three of them, Super Daiwa, Deep Sea Dragon, and Deep Sea Yamato, were sitting together at the dining table, holding their own buffet plates and enjoying the dishes on the table.

Whether it was staple food, pastries, or shellfish, the three deep-sea deans accepted everything without hesitation. They moved quickly and enjoyed their meals with astonishing momentum, quickly emptying the table full of dishes.

Fortunately, the table that was swept clean was quickly filled with dishes that Loki and his maids brought out from the kitchen, so that corner was able to maintain a dynamic balance of food for a while.

Admiral Nanxing must have been drawn to the lavish appetites of these three Deep Sea Deans.

"Uh...that's...the ship girl from the newbie naval base." Xiaobai looked away and smiled at Nanxing, "Nanxing-neechan, what's wrong?"

"They seem... to me not quite familiar."

Nanxing covered her mouth and murmured softly.

"Uh." Xiaobai.

"Those seniors only joined the naval base recently, so it's normal that Admiral Nanxing doesn't recognize them."

Missouri subtly picked up where Xiaobai left off, smiling at Nanxing.

Chapter 1619 Reclaiming Wasteland!

After hearing Missouri's words, the faint doubt on Nanxing's face vanished.

“Is that so…ah.”

Nanxing lowered his hand and nodded to Missouri.

Given the size of the newbie naval base and the rumored habits of the newbie, it's quite normal that a few ship girls of unknown origin would appear around him.

If placed before.

Nanxing might even associate Xiaobai with the legend of the white-haired ship-salvaging demon, and therefore feel that Xiaobai is unfathomable, or even a little afraid. But now that Nanxing is so familiar with Xiaobai, when she thinks of these legends, she not only doesn't feel any aversion, but even finds Xiaobai somewhat cute.

"...Enjoy it."

Nanxing patted Xiaobai's head and turned to leave.

These kinds of victory celebrations are usually for the admirals to relax after the mission is over. So while chatting between admirals is necessary, it is mostly just a brief chat, and then they go their separate ways to enjoy their free time.

Admiral Nanxing bid farewell to Xiaobai and walked out of the restaurant alone, arriving at the restaurant entrance.

Outside the restaurant.

The moonlight is strong.

Because of its proximity to the sea, the lingering charm of the city had not yet obscured the moon and stars, making the night exceptionally clear.

Nanxing walked to the deserted steps at the restaurant entrance, facing the gentle sea breeze, and unbuttoned the collar.

A soft, deep, snow-white cleavage is faintly visible at the neckline.

Nanxing reached into the ravine, groped around for a while, picked up a slightly wrinkled women's cigarette, took out a lighter, lit it, and took a light puff.

"……call."

A wisp of white smoke was exhaled from Nanxing's mouth, turning into a light mist in the night and dissipating completely.

Nanxing leaned against a pillar beside the steps, gazing at the moonlight.

Perhaps because he had never had many friends and could only relieve his boredom by smoking in his spare time, Admiral Nanxing had become a heavy smoker at a young age.

When Xiaobai went to rescue the ship girls at Nanxing Naval Base, she advised Admiral Nanxing to quit smoking.
