Elder brother's garrison

"Actually... there are more than three." Seeing the surprised expression on Yamato's face, Xiaobai explained, "In fact, there are a total of six Deep Sea Deans living in the depths of the sea in Chapter Eight."

"What?"

"Yamato-neechan, listen carefully to what I have to say," Shiro explained to Deep Sea Yamato and Pachina. "Let me briefly recount what happened to me last night..."

Since Xiaobai knew the group of Deep Sea Deans well, there was no need for her to hide anything from them. So, Xiaobai told them everything that happened the night before, including her encounter with Savoy on the sea after going into the sea with Chaoda and Savoy, and how Savoy took her into the ruined city and where she met the other five Deep Sea Deans.

"...That's roughly how it is." After saying the last sentence, Xiaobai closed his mouth and carefully observed the expressions of Shenhai Yamato and Pachina.

After listening to Shiro's story, Yamato and Pachina remained listening intently, heads tilted back, eyes wide open, as if they hadn't yet recovered from the sheer volume of information they had just received.

A little while later.

"Hiss—" Yamato gasped, regaining her senses. Her eyes flashed with amazement at the stunning figure. "A floating city! A deep-sea kingdom! Hundreds of deep-sea escorts at your disposal? Wow... this, this, this is just too amazing!"

"...Are those deep-sea deans really the same kind of creatures as us?" Pachina asked Xiaobai, frowning.

“Well… I’m not entirely sure… but since Savoy and Abyssal Zuikaku live peacefully with them, they shouldn’t have any physiological or psychological differences from Dean Abyssal, right…” Xiaobai replied, addressing the two people in front of her.

“I’m getting more and more interested in the deep sea in Chapter 8…” Yamato Aqua crossed her arms and asked Shiro, “Shiro, when can you take us to see that floating city? I want to meet that guy named Frederick.”

"Uh... well..." Xiaobai blinked and said apologetically, "Didn't I just tell you, Yamato-neechan... that once you step into the city, you'll be forcibly imprisoned there by Frederick and the others? Super Yamato and I only managed to sneak out thanks to her teleportation ability. It wouldn't be good to bring you all in now."

"In this situation... all we have to do is crush them, right?" Deep Sea Yamato raised his fist and asked Shiro, "It's not like we can't beat them."

“What Yamato-neechan said makes sense, but I want to understand the situation over there before I take action…” Shiro smiled at Yamato, “After all… it’s best to be absolutely certain before you do anything.”

“That’s true.” Yamato Akagi lowered his hand and sighed. “So, does that mean… Shiro, you won’t take us to Chapter Eight until you figure out the secret of that city?”

"Hmm..." Xiaobai thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "Yamato-neechan and the others... can be considered my trump card in dealing with Frederick and the others... I will take you there at the most critical moment, so please bear with me, Yamato-neechan and the others, and continue to stay here at the naval base during this time."

"Hmm... I don't mind that." Fukami Yamato muttered softly, glancing at the television behind him, rubbing his legs together a couple of times, looking restless on the floor.

"...Of course. Yamato-neechan, you don't need to be too nervous." Seeing Yamato's hesitant expression, Shiro smiled slightly and continued, "To uncover the secrets of that city, I might need some time. During this time, you can do some recreational activities here, like taking a walk, chatting with the other ship girls in the naval base, or..."

"Or?" Yamato Akagi leaned over.

"...Playing games is also fine."

Wow, really?!

"Consider it a preparation perk," Shiro explained to Yamato with a smile. "I'll find a chance to inform you the day before Yamato-neechan is needed, so you can move around relatively freely until then... Oh, and of course, don't stay up all night playing games, that's a bad habit."

When Xiaobai said the last sentence, he stretched out his finger and spoke earnestly to Shenhai Yamato.

"I understand, I understand!" Deep Sea Yamato raised his hand, looking at Shiro with a grateful expression. "Thank you, Shiro! You're so great! I love you to death!"

"I love you, too."

"Mua!" Deep Sea Yamato leaned in front of Shiro and gave him a big kiss on the cheek. Then he jumped up from the floor and ran towards the other Deep Sea Deans behind him, shouting as he ran, "Comrades! Our spring has arrived! Shiro has agreed to let us play games at home! Today I'll show you what it means to re-enter the realm of e-sports god, controllers, get yours!"

The directors of the Deep Sea Academy in the living room were immediately thrown into chaos.

"They really forget the pain once the wound heals..." Pachina muttered jealously, staring at Abyssal Yamato's retreating figure. "She just bowed deeply to the Admiral and apologized on the spot because of this..."

Pachina quietly withdrew her gaze and looked at Xiaobai.

Then pachina noticed that Xiaobai was looking at him with a smile.

"...What are you doing?" pachina asked.

"Thank you, Pachina, for telling me about Savoy," Xiaobai said with a smile.

“Oh… that.” Pachina shrugged, glancing to the side. “It’s nothing… just a small favor. But that was news from a long time ago, decades ago. I don’t even know if Savoy’s skills still have any flaws. Just take it as a suggestion, but don’t take it too seriously.”

After saying that, Pachina propped himself up on the floor with one hand, slumped to the ground, and turned to quietly watch the jubilant deans behind him.

It was as if the joys and sorrows among the Deans of the Deep Sea were not something Pahcina could understand; Pachina only found their noise bothersome.

Xiao Bai blinked at Pachina without saying a word.

This time, Pachina didn't ask Xiaobai for a reward with a smug look on her face, just like when she told Xiaobai the "name" of the Deep Sea Crane last time.

Perhaps... she's still traumatized by what happened last time.

This is not Lexington, number 1695!

As an outsider, calmly observing the other deep-sea deans' pachina, I suddenly felt my hand, which was supporting me on the floor, being gently lifted up.

Pachina turned around and found Xiaobai holding her hand with a smile on her face.

"...What are you doing now?" Pachina looked at Xiaobai with a puzzled expression.

Although Pachina's words carried a hint of resistance, her body was surprisingly obedient. When Xiaobai grabbed her hand, she didn't try to break free, but simply let Xiaobai gently hold her hand.

“…Hehe.”

Xiaobai gave Pachina a faint smile. Then, to Pachina's surprise, Xiaobai pressed one of his palms tightly against Pachina's palm, clasped his hands together, and then gently separated his fingers, slipping them between Pachina's fingers to grasp Pachina's fist.

“…??” Pachina was startled by Xiaobai’s actions. She stared wide-eyed at her and Xiaobai’s hands clasped together. Then, for some reason, a faint blush rose on her face. Pachina looked up at Xiaobai with some emotion.

"No matter what, whether it was last time or this time, I am very grateful for your help, Pachina." Xiaobai clenched Pachina's fist and smiled at Pachina. "Whether now or in the future, Pachina, you are one of the most important people in our naval base, and you are also one of the most important people to me."

"..." Pachina's eyes sparkled with a strange light.

"We'll always be best friends."

"..." Pachina's face instantly fell.

"Huh? Pachina? Why does your complexion suddenly look so bad... and you're even squeezing my hand so hard..."

“…Idiot!” Pachina slapped his hand away and gave Xiaobai a hard chop to the forehead. Then he stood up angrily and ran back to the jubilant Deep Sea Deans.

The sound of their footsteps echoed all the way.

"Hey! Pachina, you're here too? Want to play a round? Haha, just kidding, you wouldn't come no matter how much I called you last night... You're not interested in this, are you..."

"Give me!"

"Alright, I need to find a powerful person now. So, which person is so lucky... um? Wait, pachina, what did you just say?"

"Give me the controller!"

"what?"

"Snapped!"

Pachina snatched the controller from Deepsea Yamato's hand, plopped down in front of the TV, and frantically started rubbing the buttons on the controller as if he had a grudge against it for eight lifetimes.

"Pachina, be gentle! This is the Tirpitz handle! You'll have to pay for it if you break it!"

"If you don't press the controller hard, how will the characters in the game have the strength to hit people!"

"Uh... that makes sense, but this is the character selection screen... even if you eat the controller right now, you still can't select a pay-to-win character."

"..."

Xiao Bai touched the spot on his forehead where Pachina had just tapped him, looking at Pachina and the other Deep Sea Deans with a bewildered expression.

How does it feel...

pachina looks very angry?

Uh...did I just say something wrong?

Xiao Bai was confused for a long time, but couldn't figure out the answer.

Forget it.

Chapter 1974: There's still a floating city waiting for me to deal with... Judging from Pachina's current state, she's probably just venting her emotions, so I'd better leave her alone for now...

Xiao Bai lowered his hands and touched his throat.

Ok……

Speaking of which, I didn't sleep a wink last night with Chaoda. We were busy at sea all night and haven't eaten or drunk anything since. I'm a bit thirsty and want to replenish my energy.

"Is Loki there? I'd like some water..." Little White asked instinctively.

next second.

A bottle of warm water heated in a pot of black tea was handed to Xiaobai from behind and pressed against Xiaobai's face.

"Oh... thank you Loki, thank you Loki..." Little White subconsciously took the drink from behind him, thanked him, unscrewed the cap, and gulped down a few mouthfuls.

In the dead of winter, drinking this warm beverage keeps you feeling cozy from your mouth to your stomach, which is very comforting.

"Ha...it feels like being resurrected..." Xiaobai exclaimed, glancing up at the Deans of the Deep Sea in the distance.

Pachina, who had just sat down, was familiarizing himself with the controls of the game character under the guidance of Deepsea Yamato. Seemingly to take into account Pachina's status as a complete e-sports newbie, the person he was playing against was changed from Deepsea Yamato to Loki, who almost never played games before.

Ok……

Ok?

Loki?

Xiao Bai was taken aback.

Why is Loki sitting over there?

Who just handed me the drink?

Xiao Bai put down the beverage bottle and looked up behind him.

After looking up.

At first glance.

They are two insurmountable mountain peaks.

"Hello~" Lexington, standing behind the mountain peak, raised her hands and waved cutely to Little White, smiling warmly, "Good morning~ Little White."

"Waaaaaah!!" Little White screamed, scrambling to her feet. "Lexington?? When...when did you...?"

"I never thought you'd be so flustered, Xiaobai." Lexington chuckled, covering her mouth. "How's the drink? Is it good?"

"Uh... I, I didn't know it was you..."

"Of course, after all, I deliberately kept my footsteps quiet."

"..." Xiaobai looked helplessly at Lexington, who had a smile on her face as if she had successfully pulled off a prank. She sighed, "I made sure to close the door properly just now..."

"Well... actually, I sneaked in before you went to Akashi to get the ring back," Lexington said with a smile to Xiaobai, pointing to Super Yamato sitting next to her. "After all, there was such a strong abyssal aura in the naval base before. Even if I guessed that you had sneaked back again, I couldn't just leave it alone, right? So I sneaked over to take a look as soon as I noticed it, and when I found that none of you had noticed me, I suddenly felt like playing around and wanted to hide for a while longer."

When Lexington got to this point, he stuck out his tongue slightly, looking a little embarrassed.

Xiao Bai was helpless.

"Uh... Lexington, where were you hiding just now?"

"Hmm... Little White, guess where you're hiding?" Lexington asked Little White with a smile.

"..." Xiaobai looked at Lexington for a while, then sighed helplessly, "Never mind... I just don't really want to know... More importantly... Speaking of which, Lexington, did you hear what I just said to Yamato and the others...?"

“…Although I really want to say that I didn’t hear anything just now, even if I did, you wouldn’t believe me, would you, Xiaobai?” Lexington nodded, put his hands behind his back, and said seriously to Xiaobai, “I never expected…that the depths of Chapter Eight would be a city occupied by the Dean of the Deep Sea…that is indeed an earth-shattering thing.”

Upon hearing Lexington's words, Xiaobai realized that Lexington had taken to heart everything he had said to the Deans of the Deep Sea.

"Little White, you've been in such a rush these past few days. So you've already seen the Deep Sea Zuikaku?" Lexington said to Little White.

"Uh...yes..." Xiaobai honestly admitted.

"Last night, you and Chao Dahe secretly went out to sea together?"

"Um……"

"..." Lexington put his hands behind his back, bent down, and stared at Xiaobai with a strange smile that was hard to fathom.

"I'm sorry..." Xiaobai stammered for a long time before finally apologizing to Lexington honestly, "Um... I acted without telling you guys..."

Xiaobai didn't really feel anything about Lexington overhearing her conversation with the Deepsea Deans. After all, having discovered so many things she hadn't even imagined before in Chapter 8, Xiaobai was indeed considering finding an opportunity to tell the ship girls what she had been doing these past few days, so that her ship girls could be prepared.

only……

Xiaobai never expected that the ship girls would find out about this in such a way...

This scene made Xiao Bai feel awkward, like a long-time criminal who decided to quit his life of crime, only to be arrested by the police on the very morning he decided to do so.

Xiaobai thinks Lexington might be angry.

She might scold herself.

Little White was already standing at attention, ready to receive Lexington's punishment.

But to Xiaobai's surprise, after staring at him with a strange smile for a while, Lexington stood up thoughtfully and smiled gently at Xiaobai.

"Well... if that's the case, then there's nothing we can do about it," Lexington said with a smile.
