Elder brother's garrison

Mu Yu was stunned and looked at Xiao Bai.

"After thinking about it, I think I'll pass on the pinky promise..." Xiaobai rubbed his little finger with a look of disgust. "Anyway, send me the specific process of this task, and I'll go back and prepare."

"Alright." Mu Yu lowered her arm. "I'll have someone send the specific mission details to the newbie naval base via email. Little White Sister, remember to check your mail when you get back to the naval base."

"Am I going back now?"

“Yeah, a city should be built here in Chapter 8 soon. Even with the help of the ship girls, it won’t be a matter of a day or two to build a complex of buildings on the scale of Chapters 7 and 6.” Mu Yu shrugged. “What’s more, a professional archaeological team will be coming to explore that deep-sea city later. There will be more and more social engagements here. Little White, it probably won’t be very interesting for you to stay here.”

"Then what about you and Ringo-neechan?"

“We’re the governors, and we can’t leave here until the eighth chapter is completed. Little White, you’d better enjoy yourself along with us,” Mu Yu said.

"I'll come back and take a look after it's completed."

Ringo smiled slightly as she spoke to Shiro.

Xiao Bai stood still, looking down at the eighth chapter of the Admiral's Certificate in his hand.

"Okay, I'll be back then." Xiaobai nodded seriously.

Xiao Bai put away his admiral's certificate and walked towards the outside of the wooden house. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and looked back at the two governors inside.

"Speaking of which... is it really true that I can bring the ship girls home to visit?" Xiaobai asked to confirm.

"Of course." Mu Yu smiled and waved to Xiao Bai. "The New Year is coming soon, little Xiao Bai, please remember to send my best wishes to Auntie."

"Omitted." Xiaobai stuck out her tongue at Mu Yu, then turned and walked out the door.

After leaving the cabin where Mu Yu and Ringo were, Xiao Bai headed towards the villa in the newbie garrison.

On the way back, Xiaobai saw Admiral Haoding walking towards her, accompanied by the ship girls.

"Admiral Lu Lin!" As soon as Admiral Hao Ding saw Xiao Bai, a hearty smile immediately appeared on his dark face. He jogged over to Xiao Bai and asked, "You've already returned from the Governor-General's place?"

"Yes, I've already received my reward," Xiaobai nodded.

"Hahaha! This journey through Chapter Eight can be considered complete!" Admiral Haoding put his hands on his hips and laughed loudly. "Governor Muyu just sent someone to call me here. Looks like I'll be the next one to receive the reward!"

“Yes.” Xiaobai smiled at Admiral Haoding, her gaze lingering on his dark skin for a moment before asking, “Where will Admiral Haoding go after the mission in Chapter Eight is completed?”

"Hmm? Are you talking about what's to come?" Admiral Haoding paused for a moment, then thought seriously for a while. "Given my current physical condition, I can manage normal exercise, but I'm no longer able to perform the duties of an admiral for the time being. After the mission in Chapter 8 is over... I'll probably stay here, since the city construction for Chapter 8 will be underway, and we'll likely be short-handed. My ship girls from the naval base should be able to help—Admiral Lu Lin, what about you? Are you staying too?"

"I just accepted another mission and have to leave here temporarily," Xiaobai answered honestly.

"Ha! Ha! Admiral Lu Lin is such a busy person!" Admiral Hao Ding smiled heartily upon hearing this. "Then it seems I have another reason to stay in Chapter Eight!"

"Hmm? What reason?"

"I will tell the story of Admiral Lu Lin's victory over the deep sea to everyone who comes to Chapter Eight!" Admiral Hao Ding said loudly.

"I think it's okay not to tell you..." Xiaobai smiled sheepishly.

"How can that be! A hero like Admiral Lu Lin needs a preacher like me to sing his praises, doesn't he! Hahahaha!!" Admiral Haoding laughed again, but halfway through his laughter, he slowly calmed himself down and gave Xiaobai a deep look. "However... since Admiral Lu Lin is leaving, I should formally say goodbye to you."

"Goodbye?"

“Yes, just like greetings are essential when people meet for the first time, saying goodbye is also a very important etiquette.” As Admiral Haoding spoke, he slowly straightened up and bowed deeply to Xiaobai. “Admiral Lu Lin, before I leave, I thank you once again. Thank you for coming, thank you for saving my life, thank you for rescuing my comrades in the naval base, thank you for completing the walkthrough of Chapter 8, and even sharing part of the mission rewards with me… I sincerely believe that it is truly a blessing to have an admiral like you in this world.”

Chapter 2249 About Idols

The news that the newbie garrison was about to leave quickly spread throughout the valley.

Not long after Xiaobai returned to her residence, before Qi Er III could even pack her bags, the ship girls from Haoding Garrison arrived at the scene after receiving the news.

The ship girls who had a close personal relationship with the newbie naval base rushed over from all directions. They burst into the villa, tearfully took Shiro's hands, and poured out all their reluctance and gratitude. Among them, ship girls like Elizabeth pulled Akagi to a corner and hugged her for a long time before finally letting go.

The number of ship girls who came to say goodbye was well over a hundred. The crowd of farewell thronged from morning till night, almost breaking down the door.

Noon the next day.

The newbie garrison left the valley under the enthusiastic escort of the Haoding garrison.

"Admiral Lu Lin—you must come looking for us when you return—"

Elizabeth and the ship girls waved their hands vigorously, standing at the entrance of the valley and shouting with all their might.

"Acting Admiral—Goodbye—"

"To all the newbie naval commanders! We'll always be best friends!"

"Let's make a date to fry fish together next time!"

……

The ship girls of Haoding Naval Base waved their arms, bidding farewell to the new naval base as if seeing off a hero.

Xiaobai and the ship girls of the newbie naval base waved towards the valley. They walked and walked, and gradually, the familiar valley sank into the horizon as they traveled. The heavy snow gradually covered the white view, and the calls of the ship girls of Haoding Naval Base could no longer be heard.

It was completely quiet all around.

It's as if the whole world has been reduced to just a newbie garrison.

The newbie ship girls in the naval base looked at each other and smiled in unison.

"The walkthrough for Chapter 8 is finally over!" A ship girl raised her hand and shouted loudly.

"Finally, I can go home!" Another ship girl jumped up excitedly.

"Finally, I can slack off!"

"I'm going home now! I'm going to lie on my bed in the dorm all day! I'm going to binge-watch my favorite shows! Catch up on all the episodes I've missed over the past few months!"

"I really don't want to stay here for another second!"

"Admiral! Admiral! Quickly, tell Chaoda and Sister to open the portal!"

The ship girls cheered and looked at Shiro.

Faced with the expectant eyes of the ship girls, Xiaobai smiled helplessly.

"No, we need to return to the naval base through normal means."

“Eh——?”

"After all, there are too many of us. Even the Super Yamato can't transport that many people at once," Xiaobai explained to the ship girls with a wry smile. "Besides, if so many of us suddenly disappear in Chapter 8 without leaving any trace of our journey, the Admiral Headquarters will start asking why."

“Disappointment—” The ship girls all lowered their heads.

In the depths of winter, the world is covered in snow.

Xiaobai and the ship girl traversed rugged wastelands and climbed treacherous mountains, enduring a day and a night of arduous journey, finally returning to the abandoned road where they had arrived at Chapter 8.

Several large cargo trucks were parked on the snow-covered roadside.

This is the mode of transportation that Mu Yu and Ringo prepared in advance for the newbie naval base.

The truck drivers had been waiting for a long time. When they saw the ship girls from the newbie naval base emerge from the mountain road, they didn't ask any questions and simply gestured for the ship girls to get in the truck.

The trucks loaded all the new ship girls from the naval base into the trucks, and then started the engines.

Buzz————

The tires carved deep grooves in the snow, and amidst the flying snowflakes, the truck drove towards the human city.

The ship girls inside the truck leaned against the window, looking at the snowy scenery outside. They all stretched comfortably and then lay down on their seats.

The walkthrough for Chapter 2250... has finally come to an end.

One week later, on a certain daytime.

The truck arrived at the newbie town hall.

After a large-scale expedition, the ship girls returned to their familiar home. Some rested, some trained, and the rookie naval base became lively again, as if everything had returned to normal.

It gives one the feeling that this peaceful life will continue indefinitely.

……

"An idol?" In the admiral's office of the rookie naval base, Lexington, still stamping a document, looked at the little white boy in the admiral's seat in surprise.

"Yeah, idol." Xiaobai nodded as she quickly finished her daily tasks.

"I never imagined that the girls in our naval base would have the potential to become stars..." Lexington covered her mouth and chuckled. "The idea of ​​making ship girls into idols... I never would have dared to think about it before. It's true that you can see all sorts of things when you live long enough."

"That's what Mu Yu said back then too."

"Xiaobai, you have no idea how stubborn those leaders at the Admiral's Headquarters are. Getting them to agree to such an avant-garde idea... that's already considered a breakthrough."

"Is it that exaggerated..."

"So when did you become an idol?"

"It's not clear yet," Xiaobai said with a smile while tidying up the forms in her hands. "According to Mu Yu, the mission emails will probably arrive here in another two or three days."

“I’m actually looking forward to it,” Lexington said with a smile.

"Does Lexington want to become an idol?" Xiaobai asked.

"me?"

"Yes."

"I'm too old for that, being an idol is out of the question," Lexington said with a laugh. "You'd be better off sending Jaja to do it."

"I really think Lexington would be perfect as an idol..."

"Don't make fun of me, Little White." Lexington pursed her lips, but couldn't hide the smile on her face. "If Hood and Bismarck saw me acting like an idol, I would be too ashamed to face anyone."

"Alright then," Xiaobai sighed.

"Xiaobai...you want me to be your idol, is it just so you can take me home for the New Year?" Lexington asked suddenly, looking at Xiaobai's disappointed expression.

"Is it obvious?" Xiaobai blinked.

“It’s pretty easy to guess.” Lexington smiled and thought for a moment before saying softly, “But as for me being an idol… I’d rather not. But I can accompany you home for the New Year, Xiaobai.”

"Huh? Really?" Xiaobai asked with a look of surprise.

“Of course you can.” Lexington closed his eyes and thought for a while before slowly saying, “Although I can’t leave the base for too long… well, it’s been so many years, I should take some time to go back and visit.”

As Lexington finished speaking, she gently touched the corner of the secretary ship's desk, her gaze lowered as if she were recalling something.

"That's great! Mom and Dad will be very happy," Xiaobai said happily.

“That’s what I mean.” Lexington pursed her lips.

Chapter 2251 The Idol Selection

"Has Xiaobai considered any other candidates?" Lexington asked Xiaobai.

"Other idol candidates?" Xiaobai asked back.

"Yes."

"Hmm... let me think about it." Xiaobai thought seriously for a while. "On the way back, I also considered the candidates... Besides you, Lexington, the idol candidates I prefer are Saratoga, Chaser, Quincy, New Orleans, and Aoba."

"Is there any particular reason?" Lexington put down his work, rested his chin on the back of his hand, and looked at Xiaobai.

“Saratoga… well… I just think she might be more suited for this.” Xiaobai scratched his head and smiled sheepishly at Lexington. “Besides Saratoga, the Chaser has experience living in human society and, according to her, was a live streamer for a while. If she were to become an idol, it would be a case of specialization.”

"I see."

"Then there's Quincy, New Orleans, and Aoba. These three ship girls often appear as idols at parties and other events held at our naval base," Xiaobai said.

"Yes, those three kids have received a lot of positive feedback," Lexington said with a smile. "They sing very well and dance very well; you could say they're born idols."

"Lexington, you think so too!"

“Except for Gaja, everyone else’s arguments are well-founded and convincing,” Lexington nodded.

"But these are the only candidates I have in mind," Xiaobai said, scratching his head sheepishly. "Does Lexington have any recommendations?"

“As for me…” Lexington thought for a moment, then asked Little White, “How about Missouri?”

"Huh? Missouri?"

"Yes, Missouri also lived in the human world, right?"

“Well… that’s true…” Xiaobai thought for a while, “Missouri told me that she used to do many jobs in human society and had her business card handed out by many famous talent scouts.”

“After all, Missouri is a girl with the natural star quality,” Lexington said with a smile, resting his chin on his hand. “Why don’t we consider her? Choosing her as our idol might just make us an overnight sensation.”

"How about I ask her about her intentions after I get off work?" Xiaobai tentatively looked at Lexington.

“No need to leave work yet.” Lexington laughed. “Little White, you’ve already finished your work for today while we were chatting, right? You can go see Missouri now if you want.”

"Ah, well, then I won't stand on ceremony..." Xiaobai stood up.
