“Yes, sir! Sister Bismarck!” Prince Eugen quickly straightened his back and responded to Bismarck.
"..."
Bismarck glanced silently at Little White, then at Missouri following behind Little White, signaling that he would take Tirpitz out first. Then he carried Tirpitz out of the villa and disappeared from Little White's sight in the blink of an eye.
Little White and Missouri watched Bismarck and Tirpitz's retreating figures from afar.
Judging from this situation...
Tirpitz might not have a good day today...
Xiao Bai felt a surge of emotion.
"Admiral?" Just then, a soft voice rang in Xiaobai's ear.
Little White turned his head and found Prince Eugen sitting on the bedding very close to him with curious eyes, looking at him obediently with his chest puffed out.
"Hmm? Is something wrong, Prince Eugen?" Xiaobai asked Eugen.
"Admiral, and Missouri, would you like me to help you make your bedding?" Prince Eugen clenched his little fists, full of fighting spirit, and said earnestly to Missouri and Little White, "If you don't mind, you can give me your bedding, and I'll do it..."
"You don't need to trouble Prince Eugen with laying out the floor mats... I can do it myself." Little White laughed.
“But, it’s damp and cold down here. Even though it’s separated by wooden floors, it’s still a bit chilly and might make the Admiral feel cold…” Prince Eugen said to Xiaobai, then his gaze shifted to the area in front of Missouri. “I’ve gotten used to this feeling when I’m out on campaigns from the naval base. Why don’t I make up your bedding for you, Admiral…”
“…No wonder Tirpitz likes you so much…” Little White looked at Prince Eugen and couldn’t help but sigh.
Princess Eugen, a girl who can't help but help others, and Tirpitz, a girl who can't help but bother others, are surprisingly compatible...
Xiao Bai even suspected that Tirpitz's current reclusive state was inseparable from Prince Eugen's years of obedient upbringing.
“Missouri has some experience in camping in the wild, so there’s no need to trouble Senior Eugen with this matter. Let Misssouri handle it.” Misssouri said to Prince Eugen with a smile, “However, if Senior Eugen doesn’t mind… I wonder if you could guide Misssouri from the side? Just watching is fine. If Misssouri makes any mistakes, please be sure to correct them. I’m sure Senior Eugen has more experience in this area, and Misssouri would like to learn some survival skills from Senior Eugen.”
"Huh? Ah... okay, that works perfectly!"
Prince Eugen's old problem was that he couldn't refuse people. Missouri's simple words made Prince Eugen abandon his previous plan, blink his bright eyes, and obediently sit on the bed.
"Admiral." Missouri smiled and reached out to Xiaobai, "Missouri and Senior Eugen are both here. I'm afraid you can't decide on your own bedding, Admiral. Missouri advises you to hand over your bedding obediently."
"What's with this 'surrender' vibe..." Xiaobai smiled helplessly, but still took out a roll of bedding from her ship's equipment space and handed it to Missouri.
But...
Missouri was, after all, Xiaobai's wedding ship, so asking Missouri for help didn't put any psychological pressure on Xiaobai.
Missouri accepted Little White's bedding with a smile.
"Hmm... hiss—"
Missouri hugged Little White's blankets, closed her eyes, took a soft breath, then bent down and pressed her face against Little White's blankets, gently rubbing against them.
"Missouri, what are you doing...?"
"Missouri is checking the cleanliness of the bed."
"How can you confirm it this way... You can't possibly tell anything just by smelling it..."
"This bedding, Admiral, hasn't been used yet? It was just washed and aired out a few times after it was bought, right?"
"...Huh? You could smell that?"
Xiao Bai was surprised.
“Missouri wouldn’t easily forget the Admiral’s scent…” Missouri gently pressed her fingers against Xiaobai’s bedding, leaned over to Xiaobai, and spoke to Xiaobai in a soft voice, revealing a meaningful smile, “What a pity, it’s just a new bedding.”
Chapter 1815 So what's the price?
Missouri's words, though seemingly casual, quickly made Xiaobai's ears turn red.
“…Hmm?” Prince Eugen, sitting between Little White and Missouri, looked at the two curiously. “What did Missouri mean by what she just said?”
“Senior Eugen, Missouri just said that the Admiral is used to her home bedding, and she might not be used to this new bedding, which could affect her quality of rest,” Missouri explained to Prince Eugen without changing her expression.
“Oh! I see.” Prince Eugen smiled knowingly. “Yes, I understand! Just like every time I return to the naval base after a campaign, I suffer from insomnia for a few days because the bed is so much more comfortable than my usual floor mat.”
"Speaking of insomnia, Missouri does have a few folk remedies that can slightly alleviate it. If you don't mind, would you like Missouri to tell you about them?"
"Oh! Really? That's great! What are some ways to relieve insomnia?"
"For example..."
Missouri and Prince Eugen chatted and laughed as they made the bed for Little White, creating a harmonious atmosphere and suggesting they got along very well.
Little White listened intently to the conversation between Missouri and Prince Eugen.
Missouri told Prince Eugen about some folk remedies for insomnia, mostly about relaxing the mind and body, calming the nerves, and inducing sleep. While these techniques might work to some extent for common insomnia, they were powerless against Xiaobai's special type of insomnia.
"Missouri, Prinz Eugen, um... anyway, I'm going to go find Yamato and the others first... I'll be back later." Xiaobai said to Missouri and Prinz Eugen, and then got up and left amidst the smiles and nods of the two ship girls.
In a corner of the villa.
Deepsea Yamato and Pachina huddled together and rolled around on the floor. The other Deepsea Deans sat around the two of them, watching the show. Only Super Yamato waved a glow stick that he had pulled out from somewhere and kept cheering for Deepsea Yamato.
"Go, Yamato-sama!" Yamato waved her arms wildly, her chest heaving dramatically with her movements, a truly eye-catching sight. "Yamato-sama! Yamato-sama!..."
"You bastard Pachina, take this 'Crow Takes Flight' move!" Deep Sea Yamato, true to his former title as the boss of the Deep Sea, easily overpowered the frail Pachina. Pachina was quickly pinned down and unable to move. Deep Sea Yamato was just one last chance to snatch the comic book from Pachina's arms. "Got it—"
"Yamato-neechan?"
“Woooa ...
Just as Yamato Shinkai touched the comic book in Pachina's arms and was about to snatch it back, Shiro arrived at Yamato's side and spoke to the two Shinkai Deans who were rolling on the ground. Caught off guard, Yamato screamed, quickly withdrew her hand, and scrambled to her feet, looking at Shiro with sweat dripping down her face.
"Eh? Shiro... Shiro?" Yamato looked at Shiro nervously.
"Big sister Yamato, what game were you playing just now?" Shiro asked with a smile.
"Uh...I, I..."
As Shenhai Yamato stammered, he secretly glanced at Pachina, who was lying on the floor behind him, panting.
Deep-sea creatures are not ship girls after all. Almost all of their strength is put into their deep-sea ship equipment. Without the deep-sea ship equipment, their combat power varies greatly. There are powerful individuals like Deep-Sea Yamato who can take on ten people even without ship equipment, and there are weak types like Pachina who can't even beat a dog without ship equipment.
"It's just a regular deep-sea game~ We used to play this all the time when we were out at sea! It's an old tradition of our deep-sea crew!" Yamato from the deep-sea crew came up with an excuse to brush off Shiro. "Uh... well, anyway! Compared to this, Shiro, why aren't you taking care of the other ship girls? What are you doing here?"
"Oh... Deepsea Games..." Shiro nodded with some skepticism, but was swayed by Deepsea Yamato's last sentence, and smiled at her, saying, "Yes, there is something..."
"Huh? We've only reached Chapter 8, and you're already deploying the Abyssal Fleet?" Yamato Abyssal looked at Shiro in surprise. After thinking for a moment, she continued, "Well... we can set off anytime... but Shiro, have you explained our existence to the other naval base in Chapter 8?"
"Ah...no, I don't want you to go out to sea right now, Yamato-neechan..." Shiro waved her hand with a smile at Yamato, then said seriously, "I came here to ask you a few questions, Yamato-neechan."
"Oh?" Yamato Akagi was taken aback.
"Yamato-neechan, you're also a Deep-Sea Dean who's lived on the sea for a long time, right? I heard you say before that when you were a Deep-Sea Dean, you often went out to visit other Deep-Sea Deans and exchange ideas with them..." Shiro said to Deep-Sea Yamato. "Um... anyway, I just wanted to ask, Yamato-neechan, are you familiar with the Deep-Sea Dean from Chapter 8?"
"Chapter Eight?"
"Ah."
“Hmm… Chapter 8…” Shenhai Yamato squinted and nodded slightly, understanding Xiaobai’s thoughts. However, after looking up at the villa’s ceiling for a while, she still sighed apologetically to Xiaobai, “Yes, I know what you mean, Xiaobai… but I’m sorry… I’m not familiar with Chapter 8.”
"Huh? Yamato-neechan, didn't you come to Chapter 8 back then?" Shiro looked at Deep Sea Yamato in surprise. "Yamato-neechan, didn't you used to say you often visited places on the surface of the sea..."
"Well... I do visit other people's places quite often..." Deep Sea Yamato scratched his head and explained to Shiro, "But Shiro, you know, it takes more than half a month to get here by land from Chapter 8, let alone the sea area, it's just too far. This area is not even in the same ocean as the one we were in before... If I leave my own sea area to come here, that's not visiting other people's places, that's going abroad."
Deep Sea Yamato kept explaining to Shiro.
"Going abroad is fine..." Xiaobai said with some regret after hearing what Shenhai Yamato said, "So, you mean, Yamato-neechan, you've never been to Chapter 8 before, and you've never seen Dean Shenhai here, right..."
“Yes.” Yamato Fukami nodded.
The Deep Sea Dean is, after all, a creature with a strong sense of territory.
If the Deep Sea Deans' lives become a bit monotonous, they might indeed choose to go out and visit other Deep Sea Deans in nearby seas to fight or chat. However, they also have a large group of Deep Sea followers to support, so even for the sake of those followers, they wouldn't leave their own seas too far away, let alone travel to other seas tens of thousands of miles away.
"What about the others?" Xiaobai looked at the other Deep Sea Deans behind Deep Sea Yamato. "Has any of you been to Chapter Eight before?"
“No.” The other deep-sea deans shook their heads.
"I see..." Xiaobai sighed.
Xiao Bai's original plan was to find his own Deep Sea Deans and, taking advantage of their shared Deep Sea nature, inquire about the Deep Sea Deans in Chapter 8, thus increasing his chances of successfully tackling Chapter 8 later.
However, Xiaobai never expected that there were also divisions between nations among the Deep Sea Deans... This group of Deep Sea Deans, led by Deep Sea Yamato, had never even set foot in the sea area of Chapter Eight...
Ugh……
The advantage is gone.
I'll have to rely on myself and the will of the deep sea again...
Xiao Bai sighed helplessly to himself.
"I'm sorry... I couldn't help you, Shiro..." Yamato Akagi said to Shiro with some regret.
"Ah, it's alright, Yamato-neechan." Shiro quickly waved her hand and smiled at Deep Sea Yamato, "After all, you're not from the same sea area, I understand. After all, Yamato-neechan, you also have to take care of your own Deep Sea territory..."
"I've been there."
Suddenly, at that moment, a faint voice sounded behind Deep Sea Yamato.
"Huh?" Yamato and Shiro were both taken aback. They turned their heads and saw that it was Pachina, who had been lying on the floor, who was making a soft voice, "...Pachina? What did you just say?"
“…I said.” Pachina on the floor rolled over. “I’ve been there. I’ve been to the eighth chapter’s sea area.”
The scene fell into a very quiet state.
A few seconds passed.
"Eh?!?!" Deep Sea Yamato and Shiro exclaimed in unison, "Pachina, you've been here before?!"
“Mm,” pachina responded.
"You...when did you go? No, what's going on with you? Don't our Deep Sea Deans have their own Deep Sea territories to manage? Even when they go out to visit, they have to time their return. How can you just go abroad so casually?" Deep Sea Yamato looked utterly shocked.
“I disbanded the Deep Sea Territory a long time ago,” pachina snorted. “After all, I’ve never planned to fight humans. If I want temporary Deep Sea subordinates, I can just grab a few on the road. The Deep Sea Territory… is just an unnecessary burden to me. Without the constraints of the Deep Sea Territory, I can certainly travel far away at will.”
"Wow...this..." Yamato Akagi looked shocked.
"Pachina, when did you arrive at Chapter 8?" Xiaobai asked Pachina in surprise.
“I came here to play when I had nothing else to do,” pachina said. “But at that time I didn’t know this was the eighth chapter that you humans talk about. It wasn’t until we arrived here just now and felt the familiar smell coming from the sea that I remembered that I had been here before.”
"Wow, that's great!" Xiaobai exclaimed excitedly as she approached Pachina. "Miss Pachina, could you tell me about Chapter Eight?"
"..." Pachina glanced silently at Shiro, then at Abyssal Yamato not far away, "...Of course."
"Thank you!"
"but."
"...?"
"I won't tell you for nothing."
"……Eh?"
"trade."
“Oh…oh! I understand, Miss Pachina, you want a reward, right? Sure, Miss Pachina, what do you want?” Xiaobai nodded and said to Pachina.
"..." Pachina looked at Xiaobai and suddenly smiled slightly.
Under the gaze of everyone.
Pachina closed her eyes, then bent down and slowly moved closer to Xiaobai, raising her chin slightly towards Xiaobai.
"I want...this."
Pachina spoke softly.
Pachina's lips were close to Xiaobai's eyes.
Like dewdrops forming on icicles in the early morning.
Blue light emanates from it.
Crystal clear.
Chapter 1816 I definitely will!!
"Ahhhhhhh!!!" When Shenhai Yamato heard Pachina's words, he already vaguely sensed that something was wrong. When he saw Pachina close her eyes and move closer to Xiaobai, Shenhai Yamato shouted loudly and stood between Xiaobai and Pachina, "Pachina! What are you doing?!"
"I'm just asking for a simple, mutually agreeable transaction." Pachina opened her eyes, somewhat disappointed that her good deed had been interrupted by Deepsea Yamato, and said to Deepsea Yamato, "Isn't that how the monetary system of human society was formed?"
"You, you, you, you..." Deep Sea Yamato's face turned red with anxiety. She stammered for a long time before finally squeezing out a protest at Pachina, "You've been living in Xiaobai's house for free, and Xiaobai hasn't even asked you for rent. How can you make a deal with Xiaobai now? It's just too... too shameless!"
“I didn’t choose to live here… I was just captured.” Pachina completely ignored Yamato’s protest, speaking lightly, “Besides, I’ve come to realize that I’m the only one here who has been to Chapter 8, and the information I’m about to reveal could play a crucial role in this naval base. So, as the only one here who has been to Chapter 8, isn’t it perfectly normal for me to ask for a little something in return?”
