Elder brother's garrison

Page 1790

Having spent so much time in the room, Xiao Bai had become accustomed to the stench of blood. Now, suddenly stepping out of the room and breathing in the fresh air, he felt as if he had stepped into another world.

Xiao Bai went down the stairs to the lobby on the first floor.

The lobby on the first floor was now packed with people.

Originally, the ship girls that Xiaobai brought from the newbie naval base only included Saratoga, Akagi, Baltimore, York, and the four Fubuki sisters, in addition to a dozen or so Abyssal Deans. But after picking them up at the airport today, the number of ship girls that Xiaobai brought with her more than doubled.

Xiao Bai stood on the stairs and looked towards the hall.

At a glance, in the center of the hall, the Abyssal Deans, led by Abyssal Yamato, were showing off the medals for bravery they had just received to the ship girls around them.

"Hmph, Lexington, did you see that? Did you see that? This is the culmination of my hard work leading the Deep Sea Deans in human society, capturing the hearts and minds of countless people!" Deep Sea Yamato held up his gleaming gold medal, laughing wildly at Lexington. "Hahaha! It seems humans are indeed a bunch of incredibly stupid creatures. We only used a slight trick, and humans succumbed to our charm, completely falling at our feet. Hmph, it seems we Deep Sea creatures will one day avenge being driven back to the sea and reclaim the land!"

As if she had received a great honor, Yamato spoke to Lexington with unrestrained arrogance, waving her medal incessantly as she spoke. The four gilded characters "Friend of Mankind" on the golden medal were particularly dazzling.

Lexington sat in her chair with a smile. Despite Yamato's overbearing behavior, Lexington showed no displeasure. On the contrary, she even clapped her hands at Yamato with a look of doting affection.

"Well done, Yamato. It seems that as long as you are willing to work hard, there is nothing in this world that can stump you."

"Hmph, of course, after all, I am Deep Sea Yamato!" Deep Sea Yamato's nose was practically twitching from Lexington's flattery, and she couldn't hide the proud smile on her face. "Lexington, you better be prepared! I'll show you what I'm capable of sooner or later!"

"Yes, I'll wash my bottom clean and wait patiently for you to show your might, Yamato." Lexington smiled and looked at Deep Sea Yamato.

"Hahaha, hahaha, hahahaha!" Yamato Akagi laughed loudly, hands on his hips.

Behind Deep Sea Yamato, Pachina held his forehead in exasperation, his eyes filled with speechlessness.

"Anyone will do, just someone come and take this shameful thing away," pachina muttered. "Don't let her embarrass our Dean of the Deep Sea any longer."

"Hey! Pachina, how could you say that! We're comrades who achieved honors together!" Upon hearing Pachina's whisper, Deep Sea Yamato immediately turned around and lectured her, "Why don't you pick up your medal and show it off with me!"

“What’s the point of showing off a medal earned for saving humanity…” Pachina turned her head to the side. “In the end, what does the life or death of humanity have to do with me?”

"Hey... but you were clearly trying to comfort the crying child at the fire scene..."

"Whoosh—snap!"

Before Yamato could finish speaking, an icy projectile shot out from Pachina's hand, heading straight for Yamato's face. Fortunately, Yamato reacted quickly and raised his metal medal to block Pachina's icy projectile.

In an instant, ice shards scattered and flew in front of the medal of the Deep Sea Yamato.

"Hey! Pachina! That's dangerous!" Deep Sea Yamato said to Pachina with displeasure. "Even if it's just a regular block of ice, what if it hurts someone if you throw it out!"

"Heh heh!" Pachina gave a forceful, cold laugh.

"Hmm...did you throw ice cubes to cover up your shyness...?"

"Whoosh—crack crack crack crack crack crack!"

Before Abyssal Daiwa could finish her second sentence, Pachina launched a barrage of ice shards at her like projectiles. The transparent ice blocks slammed into Abyssal Daiwa's medals one after another, shattering them into pieces. Ice shards rained down in all directions, causing the nearby destroyers to burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! It's snowing! It's snowing!" Fubuki raised her hands to catch the falling snowflakes and jumped up happily.

Not far away, near the refrigerator in the living room, Qiye was bending over, rummaging through the refrigerator.

"Oh, look, look! I found a credit card!" Enterprise said to Yorktown beside him, his head retracting into the refrigerator, a black card between his fingers.

"Huh? A credit card? How come you found this in the refrigerator?" Yorktown took the credit card and looked at it, looking puzzled.

"I don't know!"

"Probably left behind by the previous tenants... Hmm, were there any tenants in this house before?" Yorktown muttered, then shrugged. "Never mind, Enterprise, do you remember we came here to get drinks?"

"oh oh!"

The company took three bottles of Coke from the refrigerator and handed them to Yorktown and Bumblebee respectively.

The three aircraft carrier sisters closed the refrigerator, unscrewed the caps of Coke bottles, and chugged down a few mouthfuls.

"Hmm! Drinking an ice-cold Coke in the dead of winter is really a unique experience!" Bumblebee said, holding up the Coke bottle.

“Speaking of which, the Admiral’s villa is really big. I was worried that with so many of us here, there wouldn’t be enough room to sleep.” Yorktown said, sipping his Coke and looking at the spacious living room. “Now it seems that even if we all slept on the floor in the living room, there would still be enough room.”

“I heard from Baltimore that this house is temporarily lent to the Admiral by a super talented director in human society,” Bumblebee said with a smile. “This house is not only big, but it’s also very expensive. I heard from Baltimore that it would cost hundreds of millions to buy this house, and even so, a lot of people are fighting tooth and nail to buy it.”

"Hmm? Hmm... I see."

"Ah! I won! It's a free bottle!" The company opened the Coke bottle, looked at the prize inside the cap, and exclaimed in surprise.

"..."

“Roma, even on vacation, don’t slack off. I just saw that the grasslands outside are huge. Let’s go outside and train our physical fitness.” Veneto pulled Roma toward the door.

"No! No, big sister! At least, at least let me change my clothes first!" Roma screamed as she lay on the ground, but she couldn't resist her older sister's authority. Despite the marks her fingers left on the floor, Roma was dragged out of the door by Veneto like a dagger.

……

The hall was indeed very lively in every sense of the word.

Xiao Bai tiptoed to the front of the hall and subconsciously began to look for Missouri's location.

quickly.

Xiaobai found Missouri near the kitchen doorway.

Missouri was sitting at a table with Akagi Fukami, both smiling and looking at each other without saying a word.

Chapter 2466 Masters clash without making a sound

The atmosphere in the living room was noisy.

But the area between Missouri and Deepsea Akagi was unusually quiet.

The two sat opposite each other at the table, both wearing friendly smiles. They did not exchange any words. In the center of the table was a plate of clean apples, and the teacups in front of them were as still as mirrors, with hot water emitting a faint steam.

Kaga Fukami quickly noticed the situation.

Kaga Fukami walked up curiously. She first grabbed an apple and took a bite. While chewing, she looked down at Akagi Fukami's face, and then looked at Missouri's face with a puzzled expression.

"Red... Huh?!"

Just as Kaga was about to ask out of curiosity, a pair of delicate white hands suddenly reached out from behind her and covered her mouth.

Kaga was startled, and the bright red apple in her hand immediately fell back onto the table.

"Shh, shh, shh—Big sister, this is a very serious situation, please don't disturb them..." Changchun covered Shenhai Kaga's mouth, speaking to her carefully while pulling her away from the table.

"Uh, uh..."

Kaga Fukami was covered in the mouth and pulled away from the table, staggering step by step.

With Abyssal Kaga being taken away by Changchun, the previous tranquility returned to the relationship between Missouri and Abyssal Akagi.

The apple, which had been bitten by Kaga Akagi, rolled on the table, its bright red skin and golden flesh creating a striking contrast. The apple rolled all the way to Akagi Akagi, and then fell to the ground along the edge of the table.

Snapped!

The apple made a crisp sound as it hit the center of the palm.

Akagi gently placed the apple back on the table.

As the apple was put back in its place, the silence between Missouri and Deepsea Akagi was broken.

"If I remember correctly, your name is Missouri, right?" Akagi Fukami spoke first, asking Missouri in a friendly manner.

“Indeed.” Missouri smiled and bowed slightly to Akagi Akagi. “I never expected that you would remember my name. I am truly flattered.”

"Then...do you remember my name?"

“Of course, Missouri remembers every senior in the naval base.” Missouri said quite sincerely, her gaze sweeping over Akagi Fukami’s face. “Although this is our first meeting, you should be Akagi Fukami…senpai, right?”

"Senior? Are you referring to me?"

"Yes."

"I only joined the naval base a few days ago, much later than you. According to seniority in the human world, you should be the senior, right?"

“That’s not how it works. Although Missouri did join the company a little earlier than you, you are the Dean of the Deep Sea, who has been around since the time of the Age of Discontinuity. With such a great reputation, I, Missouri, am not worthy of the title of ‘senior’ at all.” Missouri smiled modestly. “So, the position of ‘senior’ should indeed be left to you.”

"Hehehe..."

Akagi and Missouri exchanged a smile, then gently picked up their teacups and took a sip.

Setting down his teacup, Akagi's gaze casually swept over the ring on Missouri's hand.

"I have heard people mention you."

"Is it Yamato-senpai and the others?"

"Yes."

"I see."

"You're not angry that someone commented on you privately about this, are you?"

“How could that be?” Missouri shook her head generously, her smile flawless. “Missouri is just a little curious about what kind of image she has in the eyes of Yamato-senpai and the others.”

"They say that Missouri is a beautiful and capable ship girl, clever and sensible, and she is calm and reliable in handling matters. Although she is a ship girl, she is one of the few people in the naval base who can be relied upon with peace of mind."

"That's far too much of an praise."

"They rave about you."

"Missouri still has a lot to learn."

"They also said you were the Lord's wedding ship." Akagi's fingers gently brushed the rim of her teacup, a captivating smile on her face. "The Lord even scared the senior ship girls in the naval base to the point of fainting when he wanted to marry you."

Missouri smiled.

"Is this correct?" Akagi Shinkai picked up her teacup.

"I am deeply grateful for the Admiral's kindness."

"I was very curious before, who exactly is this ship girl who can be so cared for by the master? Does she have three heads and six arms or something?"

"Did you disappoint your senior by seeing such an ordinary Missouri?" Missouri laughed.

“No.” Akagi Fukami put down her teacup, looked at Missouri’s face, and said with a smile, “After meeting you in person, I finally understand why my lord favors you so much.”

“Senior is too kind. The Admiral treats everyone in the naval base equally.” Missouri stood up, picked up the teapot, walked to Akagi’s side, and poured tea into her cup. “Missouri’s specialness, to put it bluntly, is just that the Admiral can take a second look at her.”

"Those eyes... are quite extraordinary."

"Hehehe..."

Missouri filled Deepsea Akagi's teacup to seven-tenths full, then put the teapot down.

"Missouri also heard the admiral talk about the senior last night on the phone."

"Oh? Did my lord mention me?" Akagi asked with great interest.

“The Admiral said that you are the most unique Deep Sea Dean she has ever met in her life.” Missouri smiled at Deep Sea Akagi. “The Admiral said that you are very strong, considerate and gentle, and at the same time… you smell very good.”

"Ah~"

“In the Admiral’s eyes, you are quite a unique person.” Missouri said to Akagi with a smile, “After hearing your story, I couldn’t help but feel great respect for you.”

“How could that be? I am now just a weak woman who has lost her power and whose situation has deteriorated to the point that I would quickly fall into a tragic end once I lose my lord’s protection.” Akagi Fukami picked up her teacup, looked at Missouri gently, paused for a moment, and then continued softly, “So… to repay my lord who saved me from suffering, I am destined to live the rest of my life for my lord.”

“…Then Missouri should bless the senior.”

"In that case, I wish you well."

The two smiled and raised their teacups.

"cheers?"

"There's no such thing as toasting when drinking tea."

"In Missouri, tea is used instead of alcohol."

"I see. I was too shallow."

Deep Sea Akagi and Missouri tilted their heads back and drank the tea in their teacups in one gulp. Then they put down their empty teacups, looked at each other, and smiled.

"mutual encouragement."

The two of them were laughing so brightly.

That expression was as if he were looking at a comrade-in-arms.

Not far away, Little White, who was watching Deep Sea Akagi and Missouri from afar, suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck for some reason.

Chapter 2467 Lexington was like a mother to me...

"Huh? What's going on?"

Xiao Bai touched his neck in confusion, looking puzzled.
