"It will corrode the floor over time."
“Okay—” York turned around and sat down on the sofa.
York glanced down at his naked body, then saw the half-peeled orange on the coffee table, which Baltimore had left untouched. He picked it up and started popping segments into his mouth, smiling at Baltimore in the hallway. "Senior Baltimore—"
"What?" came a voice from Baltimore in the corridor.
"You'll definitely be a good wife someday."
"Huh?!" Baltimore panicked for a moment in the corridor, followed by the crisp sound of a mop falling to the floor. "Where, where is it..."
"After all, you're so feminine."
"York, you too..."
"I can't do it. I'll become a useless person if no one takes care of me."
"You..."
"Oh right, speaking of which, wasn't there a ship girl selection event at the Admiral's office building today? Why didn't you go, Baltimore? If you had been selected, you could have gone on a fun-filled trip to human society with the Admiral for several days."
"I can't do idol work..." Baltimore's voice was soft and gentle.
"Hmph—" York dragged out the sound as he lay on the sofa, throwing the orange peel he had finished eating into the trash can next to him.
York looked up at the TV and realized there were still a few minutes before the show started. She clapped her hands, picked up her phone from the coffee table, and started fiddling with a chat app.
"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I chatted with Glory-nee... I'll ask her how things are going over there."
York's lips curled into a smile as she sat cross-legged on the sofa, playing on her phone.
at this time.
Ding-dong—u
A crisp doorbell rang at the end of the corridor.
"Baltimore, we have guests," York said to the hallway from the living room, typing on his phone.
"Okay, I'll go open the door now—" Baltimore put down the mop in the hallway and walked towards the door.
A few seconds passed.
The sound of a door opening came from the other end of the corridor.
There are quite a few guests visiting Baltimore and York's house on weekdays, most of whom are heavy cruiser ship girls who train together. York did not pay much attention to the knocking sound at this moment.
Compared to that, the messages coming from her phone caught her attention more.
"Huh? Glorious Sister is already a married ship!" York fiddled with his phone, his eyes lighting up. "Wow, that's amazing! When did this happen?!"
York bit her tongue, her eyes gleaming with gossip, and bent down to tap away on her phone.
"Can I see your wedding photos?"
"Eh... You're already a ship girl from two naval bases, so it's not okay? How cold..."
York was so engrossed in chatting on his phone that he lost track of time.
Finally, it was the sound of a TV series starting to broadcast that woke York from the internet.
York tilted his head to look at the TV and found that the opening credits of a TV series had already started playing, and a loud and powerful singing voice immediately echoed through the living room through the appliance.
York propped himself up from the sofa and looked around.
Faint sounds of conversation could be heard from outside the corridor in Baltimore.
"Why is Baltimore still talking to someone..." York put down his phone, put one hand on his hip, walked to the living room door, leaned out, and called out into the hallway, "Hey—Baltimore, the TV show has started, if you don't come in soon... Eek!!??"
York's calm and collected expression vanished the moment he saw the scene in the corridor.
"Good evening, York." At the door, Little White was chatting happily with Baltimore. When she saw York lean out, she smiled and waved to him.
"Admiral, admiral—" York stammered out two words, then, as if realizing something, looked down at his body.
For an instant.
A burning sensation surged through York's cheeks, and his mind went blank.
"Admiral...admiral...admiral...admiral...you're here!" York stammered, his face flushed red. He quickly squeezed his legs together, shrank back to cover his chest, and darted back into the living room, leaving only his burning red head sticking out. "Why did you come at this time...why...why...why...why...why did you come at this time..."
York's exposed eyes had already turned into two small whirlpools due to emotions such as shame, tension, and confusion.
"Hmm? Didn't I tell you before that you could come visit sometime?" Little White at the door smiled and said to York, "It was the day when Yamato and I went back to the naval base and happened to run into you, remember?"
"I...I...I...I..."
York, in the living room, clutched his chest and knelt on the floor in a panic.
York was no longer listening to what Xiaobai was saying.
"York? What's wrong?" Little White looked at York with some concern.
"Admiral! Let me handle this! Please wait here for a moment!" Just then, Baltimore, who was standing to the side, spoke up.
Baltimore quickly grabbed Little White's shoulder, then dashed upstairs. A few seconds later, he jumped down from upstairs with a pile of clothes and disappeared into the living room.
When Baltimore ran back to the living room, York was squatting on the floor, hugging himself and his face as red as if it could burn iron.
“Baltimore…” York looked up and looked at Baltimore pitifully when he saw Baltimore come in.
“Sigh… I told you to get dressed before you came out…” Baltimore pushed the clothes toward York. “I didn’t mean to make a lot of noise after I opened the door for the admiral. How come you didn’t hear my warning in the living room?”
"I...I was playing on my phone..."
“Cell phones are a menace…” Baltimore sighed, pulling the clothes over York’s shoulders. “Now you know why I made you dry off and change before leaving the bath…”
"Um……"
A rustling sound of fabric rubbing came from the living room.
Two minutes later.
Baltimore led York, who was dressed, out of the living room.
"Admiral, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!" Baltimore said with a smile to Xiaobai in the corridor, pretending nothing was wrong.
York followed Baltimore timidly, head down, clutching his clothes, his face as red as an apple.
Chapter 2267 An Opportunity Falling from the Sky
York didn't mind letting her ship girl companions see her body; in fact, she was already used to it.
After all, the training intensity at the newbie naval base is high, and the battles between ship girls are full of clothing explosions. Afterwards, soaking in repair fluid often requires physical honesty with their companions. It is a normal plot development for ship girls to see each other's bodies. Even if they are shy at first, they will gradually get used to it.
but!
Showing your body to your ship girl companions is completely different from showing your body to the admiral.
After all, the admiral won't actually participate in the battles between ship girls, nor will he join in the ship girls' fun by running for repair fluid. That layer of shame hasn't been broken yet.
Even if York is oblivious, she's still just a girl at heart, and she'll still get shy when she needs to.
"Good evening, Admiral..."
York's face was still flushed. She lowered her head, touched her clothes, and cautiously greeted Little White.
I just threw on some clothes hastily, I don't know how I look. I forgot to look in the mirror when I came out, I hope I don't look too bad...
York's mind was racing with a jumble of thoughts.
Xiaobai looked at York, who was wearing a loose black tracksuit and black tights. Her head was slightly lowered, and her fair skin was flushed with a faint mist. She had a youthful, static beauty about 300% more adorable than usual.
"Is this your loungewear?" Xiaobai asked with a smile.
"I guess...I guess so..." York stammered in reply.
"I see." Xiaobai pursed her lips.
After exchanging greetings, Baltimore and York welcomed Little White into the living room.
Upon entering the living room, Xiaobai immediately noticed the TV series playing on the screen. Raising an eyebrow, Xiaobai smiled at York and Baltimore and asked, "So you guys are watching this TV series too?"
"The admiral watches it too?" Baltimore nodded.
"Yeah, I'm watching it too." Xiaobai nodded. She had indeed spent some time watching this TV series these past few days, using a VIP account on a certain website to catch up on all the episodes that had been released. "The plot is really well done, especially the story of the battlefield nurse. It often gets me all fired up while watching it."
"That's exactly what I mean!" Baltimore nodded quickly, clasping her hands together. "Especially the scene where she carried the wounded soldier step by step out of the dangerous minefield. Everyone else had given up, but she persisted and didn't abandon any of the wounded. Anyone who saw that outstanding sense of responsibility and determination would be moved!"
"Yes, what moved me the most was the moment she was recognized by the soldiers after they rescued her. It was really touching," Xiaobai said with deep feeling.
“Exactly! I also…” Baltimore’s eyes lit up. She was about to continue her conversation with Xiaobai, but then she remembered York. She coughed lightly twice and gave Xiaobai an awkward smile. “Um… um… indeed, I also like that scene… Admiral, why don’t you sit here for a while? I’ll go make you some coffee!”
"There's really no need to be so polite."
"It's okay, it's just instant coffee sold in a coffee shop..."
Baltimore ran into the kitchen and soon returned with three steaming cups of coffee, placing them on the coffee table in front of Xiaobai.
Xiaobai sat in the middle of the coffee table, with York and Baltimore sitting on either side of her, looking somewhat reserved.
Xiao Bai picked up the coffee cup, blew on the steam, and took a small sip.
"Oh, it's delicious." Xiaobai smiled. "It's sweet."
"I'm so glad you like it, Admiral..." Baltimore sighed with relief, then looked at Shiro drinking his coffee with his head down, and thought for a moment, "Um... if Admiral doesn't mind, would you... would you like to have dinner here?"
"sure."
"Really? Really?" Baltimore exclaimed in surprise.
"Hmm. If it's not too much trouble for you." Xiaobai smiled and put down her coffee cup. "Oh, right, but before we eat, I have something I want to tell you."
"Hmm? What's going on?"
"Well, actually, I'm not just here as a guest; I have another purpose." Xiaobai said, raising her finger to the two ship girls, "Are you aware of the ship girl idol election that the naval base is preparing for?"
“I know.” Baltimore looked surprised when he heard this.
"That's right, that's why I'm here today."
"The Admiral wants to... recommend Baltimore to be an idol?" York, standing nearby, asked in a low voice, his eyes wide.
"Ah, no, that's not it." Xiaobai shook her head. "This batch of ship girl idols has already been selected, and the professional team responsible for selecting the ship girls has also left."
"Oh……"
York and Baltimore responded, their eyes showing a slight sense of disappointment.
With so many adorable ship girls in the newbie naval base, York and Baltimore never imagined they could be selected as ship girl idols. However, when Shiro personally announced that the selection process for ship girl idols was over, they still felt a little disappointed.
The chosen ship girls... I'm so envious that they can go to the human world with the admiral.
York and Baltimore shook hands with their coffee cups, and the atmosphere became quiet for a moment.
"However, while the ship girl idols have been chosen, the bodyguards haven't been chosen yet," Xiaobai said with a smile, raising her finger at York and Baltimore.
"Bodyguards?" York and Baltimore asked in unison, their expressions filled with confusion.
“Yes, bodyguards.” Xiaobai nodded and smiled at the two ship girls. “Simply put, since we rarely go to human society, we need some ship girls who understand human society to be around us, so we feel more at ease. I heard that Baltimore spent some time in human society before, right? And York? I said I would make it up to you, so why don't you come with us to the human world for a vacation this time? What do you say?”
"Huh? Really?" York and Baltimore's eyes widened instantly.
The plot development at this point was completely unexpected for York and Baltimore. Despite not being selected as a ship girl idol, they were invited to the human world by the admiral as his bodyguard… This! This was practically like the dramatic turn of events in a TV drama!
“Of course, if you don’t want to, I can also…” Little White saw that York and Baltimore were not speaking and were just staring at him blankly. He thought that the two of them were not interested in this, so he put down his hand. But before Little White could finish speaking, York and Baltimore quickly interrupted him.
"I...I...I...I'm willing! I'm willing...I'm willing!" Baltimore hurriedly grabbed York's hand and nodded repeatedly at Little White. "York is willing too! We're all willing! Rather, please, Admiral, take us there!"
"Ah, I'm relieved now." Xiaobai lowered her hand with satisfaction and smiled at the two ship girls.
In the living room.
At this moment, the TV drama on TV reached a climax, and the three of them couldn't help but look at the TV.
"Oh...today's TV series is as exciting as ever..."
The three of them exclaimed in amazement.
……
……
……
After making arrangements with Baltimore and York, Xiaobai watched a TV series with them, stayed for a meal, chatted happily, and then left satisfied.
When we saw Xiaobai off, the moon was already high in the sky.
