Elder brother's garrison

Page 1797

Good guy.

These ship girls are incredibly destructive.

Even Miao Yang could only last a week against the ship girls, so wouldn't the other junk in his studio be driven to PTSD in just a few days?

"Sigh... Admiral Lu Lin... It seems being an admiral really isn't something just anyone can do..." Director Chen shook his head, picking up the schedule his female secretary had just placed on his desk. "Sigh... But thankfully, Admiral Lu Lin has finally returned to Yun City, so I don't have to send a second agent to suffer the torment of the ship girls anymore. At least I can... um???"

Director Chen froze the moment he saw the itinerary.

The first line of the schedule read, "The Kantai Collection is coming to the Central Building today to shoot a costume video," and in the lower right corner, there was a small note that read, "Admiral Lu Lin is taking leave today."

Director Chen's mouth dropped open for a moment.

What? Admiral Lu Lin took another day off today? Then who's leading the ship girls in their work this time?

Didn't Miao Yang already take leave and fly off on vacation?

Am I super?

Did the ship girls act on their own?

Are they currently ownerless?

Director Chen's eyes widened as he thought about this. He quickly recalled the outrageous antics of the ship girl group when he read Miao Yang's diary, and he also remembered one entry that seemed to say the ship girl group almost blew up the Central Building with a bomb...

Holy crap!!!

They're currently ownerless, oh my god!!!

If those terrifying ship girls were allowed to roam freely, this building probably wouldn't last more than a few minutes!

Thinking of this, Director Chen broke out in a cold sweat. He jumped up from his desk, pushed open the door, and ran out.

Outside the door, the female secretary who had just left came over with documents. Seeing Director Chen's panicked expression, she smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, you're out! The ship girl group just arrived at the building. They're getting ready to go to the photo studio for a shoot..."

"Let's not talk about the studio yet!" Director Chen strode forward and asked his female secretary nervously, "Did those ship girls bring anything mysterious?"

"Uh... I think so?"

Where are they now?

"In the reception room, does Mr. Chen need to see them? Then I can go and talk to them first..." The female secretary was about to speak when there was a loud whooshing sound in front of her, and Director Chen had already disappeared.

Director Chen dashed off towards the meeting room as if his life depended on it. Other employees of the company who passed by greeted him when they saw that he hadn't arrived yet, only to see him disappear into the distance like a whirlwind.

Director Chen rushed to the door of the meeting room and pushed it open.

In Director Chen's judgment, the ship girls in the reception room had probably turned the room upside down by now, and they might even be squatting on the floor lighting gas canisters.

"Wait, wait, wait, everyone!!" Director Chen wailed as he rushed into the reception room. "Never mind what you're going to do, wait!!!"

With a thud, Director Chen fell to the floor of the reception room.

Then, Director Chen, panting heavily, saw nearly twenty ship girls sitting obediently in the reception room, listening to a beautiful woman with long flaxen hair and a gentle face talk about the itinerary.

"...Let's do a quick summary. Our first task today is to take photos. Everyone, please behave yourselves and try not to cause trouble for the others at your posts." The beautiful woman said with a smile to the deep-sea deans in front of her, her hands clasped behind her ears, as gentle as a maternal elder.

The ship girls, who were like a chaotic dance of demons in Miao Yang's diary, were now like well-trained puppies, heads bowed, listening quietly to the woman's story.

Director Chen, lying on the floor, stared blankly at the scene in the reception room.

Everyone in the reception room turned to look at Director Chen, more than twenty pairs of eyes blinking rapidly.

……Eh?

...What's going on? Are the ship girls being so well-behaved today?

What about the gas cylinder?

Where is the bomb?

This is different from what Miao Yang wrote in his diary.

Chapter 2475 The Admiral's Duties

Just as Director Chen was in a daze, staring blankly at the more than twenty well-behaved ship girls, the flaxen-haired woman standing in the center of the reception room finally turned around.

"Oh my, isn't this Director Chen?" The woman with long flaxen hair smiled warmly as she walked over, bent down, and reached out her hand to Director Chen, who was lying on the ground. "I forgot to remind you, this reception room was just cleaned by your company's cleaning staff, and the floor is still slippery. Director Chen, please be careful when you walk around."

Director Chen, lying on the ground, stared blankly at the woman who walked up to him.

The woman who appeared before Director Chen was exceptionally beautiful, and seemed to possess a natural, wonderful charm that made those who gazed upon her face involuntarily lower their guard.

Director Chen subconsciously reached out to grasp the woman's outstretched hand.

But the next second, a chilling sense of vigilance suddenly rose in Director Chen's heart.

"No need, no need, I can do it myself!"

Director Chen shuddered, quickly ducked, and braced himself with his hands on the ground. Using the force from the floor, he got up. After standing up, Director Chen patted his leg, which was a little sore from the fall, and an embarrassed smile appeared on his face.

"Um...may I ask who you are...?"

"Director Chen, don't you recognize me? I'm Lexington." The woman with long flaxen hair smiled gently, touched her chest, and bowed her head to Director Chen. "I'm the secretary ship of the rookie naval base. Didn't we meet once before when you came to our naval base to select ship girl idols?"

“Lexington… Oh, oh! You’re the one from before!” Director Chen murmured Lexington’s name, then suddenly realized, “When did you arrive in Cloud City?”

"I arrived yesterday," Lexington replied with a smile. "I came in a hurry and didn't have time to greet Director Chen. My apologies."

"Uh, no, no..." Director Chen stared blankly at Lexington, swallowed hard, and secretly glanced at the ship girls sitting in the seats not far away.

This wasn't the first time Director Chen had met the ship girls from the newbie naval base. He remembered that when he saw them a few times before, because Admiral Lu Lin was present, although they hadn't yet revealed their true, formidable nature, they mostly gave off a lively, unrestrained, and highly individualistic free spirit.

But unlike what Director Chen remembered, today the ship girls were all sitting obediently in their seats, each with their heads bowed, like a group of well-behaved children in class.

Weird.

If I'm not mistaken, the ship girls seem to be even quieter today than when Admiral Lu Lin was present...

Realizing this, Director Chen withdrew his gaze and looked at Lexington with great shock.

—Could it be that this ship girl named Lexington holds a higher position in the newbie naval base than their admiral? Even their admiral can't completely control the ship girls, yet in front of this ship girl named Lexington, they are as obedient as little animals being manipulated...

Who exactly is Lexington?!

Just as Director Chen was in shock and his thoughts began to wander, a sudden shout pulled him back to reality.

"Director Chen, I'm sorry to have been in such a hurry to come to Yuncheng this time, and I apologize for the inconvenience." Lexington picked up a packaged tea set from behind her and handed it to Director Chen with a smile. "My admiral has caused your company a lot of trouble recently. This is just a small token of my apologies. I hope you can forgive me."

Director Chen stared blankly at the gift box handed to him.

"Director Chen?" Lexington reminded him with a smile.

"Huh? Huh!" Director Chen snapped out of his daze and quickly bent down to accept the gift box Lexington handed him. "Thank you, thank you! Why did you go to the trouble of bringing a gift all the way here? It's so inconvenient..."

“How could that be?” Lexington withdrew her hand, her smile impeccable. “We originally planned to visit you, Director Chen, after we finished taking the photos, but we didn’t expect that you would come to us on your own before we even had a chance to set off. These gifts are just some humble little things, I’m glad you don’t mind.”

Director Chen listened to Lexington's words and gave an awkward smirk.

A cheap, low-class gift...

Director Chen, a renowned director who has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, has already achieved great success and is fully deserving of the title of "master." However, as everyone knows, the hobbies of a master cannot be compared to those of ordinary people. Things that the public pursues, such as money, fame, women, and gourmet food, while certainly enjoyable and exciting, are simply too lowbrow to boast about. Therefore, Director Chen now enjoys spending his spare time appreciating tea ceremony, calligraphy, and antique artifacts, using these experiences to cultivate his artistic sensibilities and enhance his public image.

When Lexington handed over the gift, Director Chen secretly glanced at the logo on the packaging. It was the product mark of a world-class teaware manufacturer. This manufacturer is known for its custom-made teaware, which is made to order by each customer. The teaware is exquisitely crafted, made with high-quality materials, and has a unique charm. It is a top-tier teaware that is hard to find even at a high price in the industry.

You can't buy this with money alone; you also need connections.

In fact, Director Chen himself has such a tea set at home. It was a gift from a very close friend in the industry. Whenever he has guests at home, Director Chen would take out the tea set under the pretext of making tea, which would always make the tea connoisseurs boast about it, greatly satisfying his vanity.

Director Chen never dreamed that he would own a second set of such a rare tea set...

Moreover, it was given to me under the pretext of being a "low-class little gift".

Director Chen couldn't quite control his expression for a moment, and he gave Lexington an awkward smile.

Lexington smiled and clasped his hands together.

"Director Chen, in the past when I was in the naval base, I was only responsible for commanding the ship girls in battle. This is my first time being the ship girls' manager. If there are any things I am not familiar with, please give me your guidance."

"Yes, yes, I will do my best to support you!" Director Chen nodded unconsciously as he held the gift box.

"I'm relieved to hear Director Chen say that," Lexington said with a gentle smile.

"Uh... wait a minute." Director Chen was nodding when he suddenly realized something. He looked up at Lexington in confusion. "Miss Lexington, did you just say that you want to be the ship girls' manager?"

"Yes."

"Didn't Admiral Lu Lin already return to Yuncheng?"

"Ah...you mean my admiral..." Lexington chuckled softly, and said to Director Chen casually, "My admiral is currently...unavailable."

"Can't get away?"

"Yes, she is fulfilling her duties as admiral."

"The duties of an admiral..." Director Chen murmured, his eyes suddenly widening as he gasped, "Hiss... Could it be, could it be that you're talking about..."

When it comes to the duties of an admiral, the first thing that comes to Director Chen's mind is, of course, fighting against the deep sea.

Lexington said that Admiral Lu Lin is fulfilling her duties as an admiral... Could it be that... she is leading the ship girls in battle against the Abyssal Fleet?!

hiss……

As Director Chen thought about this, a sudden realization flashed through his mind.

No wonder!

No wonder Admiral Lu Lin asked for leave a while ago and disappeared from the world for more than a week. I was curious about what she was doing before, but now that I think about it, Admiral Lu Lin probably went to fight against the deep sea during that week she disappeared from the world!

She must have noticed the appearance of deep sea in the waters near the city!

And judging from Lexington's words, it seems that this enemy is quite formidable!

what……

Admiral Lu Lin... I never knew you were so kind...

You could have simply stayed in Cloud City and enjoyed your vacation with the ship girls; no one in the world would have condemned you. Yet, you still took time out of your mission to fight the Abyss... No one would have rewarded you for doing this, nor would anyone have applauded you... But you still acted steadfastly. This spirit of sacrificing yourself for the safety of the people, this determination to fight the Abyss to the end, is truly shameful and moving!

Thinking of this, Director Chen's eyes welled up with tears.

"Admiral Lu Lin, I never imagined that you not only look like an angel, but your heart is also filled with holy light..." Director Chen said to Lexington with trembling lips and a look of deep emotion.

"..." Lexington looked at Director Chen with a smile.

"What strange things is this person saying?" From a seat not far away, Shen Hailongxiang pointed at Director Chen and asked the person next to him with a puzzled look.

"Shh." The Deep Sea Deans beside him quickly pressed Deep Sea Dragon's back.

"It's best not to talk at times like this..." the Deep Sea Deans whispered a reminder.

"It seems like this person has imagined a lot of stories about the Kamen Riders."

"What's it to us? We'll just take our own photos."

"That's true..."

"..."

Director Chen did not hear what the directors of the Deep Sea Institute said.

"I understand! I will do everything in my power to support you!" Director Chen took a deep breath at Lexington, then straightened up and said loudly, "Please rest assured, Miss Lexington! I will not tell anyone about the conversation we just had! Because I will always stand with Admiral Lu Lin!"

“In that case… very good.” Lexington nodded with a smile.

Director Chen looked up with satisfaction, staring at the corner of the ceiling.

At this moment, Director Chen felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction, a joy that felt as if he had realized the value of his life.

Admiral Lu Lin, I wonder how things are going on your end...

I just hope that your process of fulfilling your obligations goes smoothly...

Director Chen sincerely prayed this in his heart.

……

at the same time.

Inside a bowling alley in Yuncheng.

"Haaaaaah!!"

The little white boy, sitting in the chair, lowered his head and sneezed.

"Admiral? What's wrong?" Veneto, standing in front of the bowling alley, holding a bowling ball as big as her head in one hand, turned around with some concern. "Have you caught a cold?"

"Ah...no, it's nothing." Xiaobai rubbed her nose and smiled at Veneto in the distance. "It's just that my nose suddenly got a little itchy."
