Elder brother's garrison

Empire stared blankly at Xiaobai, transparent tears streaming down her face, falling drop by drop onto the table.

"Empire, how are you?" Little White asked worriedly, still touching Empire's forehead with her finger. "I've organized that memory and re-imported it into your mind. How do you feel? Do you remember it clearly?"

"..." Empire was stunned. She took a deep breath, then looked at Xiaobai with emotion and nodded. "Yes, it's very clear... I remember now, I remember everything."

"Good that you understand." Xiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, then lowered his hands and smiled at the Empire.

Xiao Bai looked down at his palm and smiled contentedly.

This was Xiaobai's first time performing a memory-related operation. Although the object of the operation was a newly born ship girl, judging from the result, it seems that this memory replication was a perfect success.

"Little White, Little White, can I have a turn too?" Luo Lian came to Little White's side and pointed to herself curiously, "I'm very curious about what the Empire's past life was like."

"Sure." Xiaobai nodded and gently poked Luo Lian's forehead.

A wisp of spiritual energy seeped into Luo Lian's mind.

Luo Lian was momentarily stunned, then staggered backward and sat down on a chair. She held onto the edge of the chair and looked down for a while to catch her breath before looking up at everyone while touching her forehead: "So this is what it feels like... It's amazing."

"Luo Lian, did you also obtain the Empire's memories?" Nia asked curiously.

“Hmm… although it’s only a fragment from her past life.” Luo Lian touched her forehead, thinking as she spoke to everyone, “Generally speaking, dreams are logically chaotic and fragmented, but judging from the completeness of the Empire’s memories and the appearance of Rome in her memories, that river doesn’t seem to be as simple as a dream.”

"Hey... Little White, I want one too, I want one too!" Nia stared blankly at Luo Lian, then quickly went to Little White, pointed at herself with Little White's finger, "Little White, give me a go too!"

“Sure.” Xiaobai nodded and reached out to poke Nia’s forehead.

"Uh..." After receiving Xiaobai's mental power, Nia's head buzzed, her eyes rolled back, and she lost consciousness and fell towards Luo Lian.

Nia fell into Luo Lian's arms with a soft thud.

"Huh? Nia, what's wrong with you?!" Xiaobai stood up in surprise.

"It's alright, she's probably just digesting your spiritual energy." Luo Lian shook her head, comforting Xiao Bai not to get excited. "Xiao Bai, your spiritual energy is too powerful. Even a wisp of it is not something an ordinary person like Nia can absorb in a short time. She'll be fine after resting for a while."

Just as Luo Lian had said.

After resting in Luo Lian's arms for ten minutes, Nia finally opened her eyes with a heavy breathing sound and regained her senses.

"Wow...wow...it feels like watching an amazing 4D movie..." Nia, covered in sweat and panting, said admiringly to Xiaobai, "Xiaobai, you're so amazing..."

"It's nothing..." Xiaobai waved his hand.

Xiao Bai glanced at the Empire, who was still wiping away tears, and remained silent for a while.

Xiaobai walked to the Empire, handed her a roll of paper, and then gently pulled the Empire's head into her arms.

"In short, when I examined the Empire's spiritual core, I found that this memory was already in a state of disarray. Just as the Empire told me before, her body is resisting this memory that shouldn't be in her mind," Xiaobai said to everyone. "Fortunately, we acted early today. If we had delayed for another day or two, even I wouldn't have been able to salvage this memory."

"Little White, how did you manage to save this memory?" Nia asked curiously.

"Well... to put it simply, I'll watch this memory first, then extract my experience from watching it and share it with you." Xiaobai raised her hand and said, "In this way, this memory, after passing through me as a transfer station, will change from a memory that shouldn't exist in this world to a simple film and television record, which can then be accepted and remembered by the Empire's body."

"...It sounds a bit like a tongue twister."

"Hmm..." Xiaobai smiled, then asked Nia, "Nia, what are your thoughts after seeing the Empire's memories?"

“As for me…” Nia lowered her head and thought for a moment, then nodded emotionally, “Although I don’t know what that river is, I’m incredibly moved!”

“It seems that Rome did indeed give up its birth opportunity to the Empire.” Luo Lian nodded, and said seriously, “If that’s the case, that so-called gray river might be similar to a ship girl’s Bridge of Helplessness, or a place for reincarnation. However, compared to the legend, the ship girl’s Bridge of Helplessness is probably a more real place.”

"Does Lianlian mean that the memory of the Empire is real?"

"I can only say that logically speaking, that memory is not a dream." Luo Lian shook her head. "To further prove the authenticity of the ship girl's Naihe Bridge, we probably need to take another step of verification."

"What kind of verification?"

“Of course, it’s… building Rome.” Luo Lian said with a smile to everyone. “The Empire has a memory of Rome. If Nia can build Rome and her appearance is exactly the same as what we remember, then the Ship Girl Bridge can basically be considered real.”

At this point, Xiaobai and Luo Lian shifted their gaze to Nia.

Chapter 2648 The Moment of Death in Changchun

"Once someone builds Rome, the truth of the empire's memory will be proven."

As soon as Luo Lian finished speaking, both Xiao Bai and Luo Lian in the room turned their heads to look at Nia.

"Eh..." Nia, who was being stared at by Xiaobai and Luolian, subconsciously raised her hands. "Is it... me?"

“Yes, Nia.” Xiaobai nodded with a smile and said to Nia, “The Empire is your ship girl, so Rome, which had close contact with the Empire in that world, should also be closely connected with your family. In other words, only you can build Rome in that form here.”

"Is it...only I can build it..." Hearing Xiaobai's words, Nia stared blankly down at her fair and tender hands.

"Nia, let's go to the Admiral's Guild again tomorrow," Xiaobai said to Nia.

"Hmm... but, but..." Nia nodded subconsciously upon hearing Xiaobai's words, but quickly put on a troubled and nervous expression. "Xiaobai... but what if I accidentally build the special construction ship girl for the Holy Construction Day while I'm building it... I, I don't want that... How about we wait a few more days..."

Nia seems to still be scared because she almost stole Shiro's spot as a ship girl to build.

"It's alright, Nia." Xiaobai smiled and shook her head. She stroked her chin for a moment, then continued to Nia, "Well... how about this, we'll still go to the Admiral's Guild as usual tomorrow, but wait for me a little while after dawn. I'll go make some preparations. I'll build the special ship girl before you build Rome, Nia."

"Huh? Really?" Nia was also taken aback when she heard Xiaobai's words.

"When have I ever lied to you?" Xiaobai smiled at Nia.

"Ah! I'm relieved!" Nia clenched her hands and placed them on her chest, letting out a long sigh of relief towards Xiaobai. "Okay! It's settled then. Tomorrow I'll go to the Admiral's Guild to build Rome, and Xiaobai, you'll go build a special ship girl!"

Luo Lian, standing to the side, looked at Xiao Bai and Nia and sighed softly.

These two people...

If their conversation were to reach other people's ears, it would likely incite considerable hatred.

Most admirals who go to the admiral guild to build ship girls resort to all sorts of superstitions and prayers, not daring to ask for anything more than a random ship girl. But these two people, one confidently declared that he was going to build Rome, and the other even said that he was going to build a special ship girl. It's as if their building isn't building at all, but rather like they're just taking resources and going to collect ready-made ship girls...

That would surely make someone hate you.

Luo Lian shook her head at this thought.

However, Luo Lian also believes that Nia and Xiao Bai will indeed build the ship girls they want.

After all, Nia is a lucky person, and you don't usually need to think too much about things that happen to lucky people.

As for Xiaobai... although she's incredibly unlucky in ship construction, she has so many superpowers that they're countless. Maybe one of these superpowers is actually a way to obtain special ship girl construction techniques.

"The Empire, wonderful! I'll be able to see Rome tomorrow!"

After discussing tomorrow's schedule with Nia, Xiaobai smiled and looked at the Empire.

"...Thank you, Admiral Lu Lin."

Empire clutched the tissue Xiaobai had just handed him, and bowed his head to her, deeply moved.

"You're welcome, you're welcome. On the contrary, I should thank you." Xiaobai quickly waved her hand, then said to the Empire, "Before forgetting these vague memories, you were able to tell me about your past life, which is a sign of your trust in me. I am very grateful for your trust."

"Admiral Lu Lin..." The Empire raised her head, her eyes flickering as she looked at Xiao Bai, her gaze momentarily showing a hint of dependence.

The Empire's impression of Xiaobai was not bad to begin with, especially after what happened tonight. After being unconditionally trusted and treated by Xiaobai, and being helped by Xiaobai to regain important memories of her past life, the Empire's goodwill towards Xiaobai instantly soared to an extremely high level.

Beside the Empire, Nia watched Little White and the Empire with a smile.

"Are you jealous?" Luo Lian asked softly as she approached Nia, arms crossed.

"Hmm?" Nia looked at Luo Lian.

"Seeing your ship girl getting along so well with Shiro, how do you, as the admiral involved, feel?" Luo Lian asked curiously, her eyes wide open.

"Hehe, Xiaobai is so cute and reliable, who can resist her charm?" Nia cupped her cheeks and smiled happily in Xiaobai's direction. "I'm not jealous at all. The more the Empire shows that it likes Xiaobai, the happier I am."

"So it turns out that the type of person who feels a sense of validation is when others like what they like..."

Luo Lian looked at Nia's profile and nodded noncommittally.

"But to be honest... I am a little envious." Just then, Nia looked at Little White and the Empire and murmured a few words softly.

"Ok?"

"I wish I could be held in Little White's arms too..." Nia stared at Little White and sighed softly, "The Empire is only one day old and it's already being held like this by Little White, it's so wonderful..."

"..." Luo Lian.

The atmosphere inside the room was harmonious.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Hmm? Has someone come again?" Xiaobai looked at the door curiously.

Xiao Bai walked to the door and opened it.

The door opens.

Two tall, shapely ship girls wearing nightgowns stood outside the door.

"Huh? Veneto, Littorio?" Xiaobai stared at the ship girl outside the door, completely stunned.

"Admiral Lu Lin, good evening." Veneto rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked up behind Xiaobai. "Ah... what a coincidence, the Commander is here too. Found you, found you, finally found the Empire..."

“We woke up in the middle of the night and found that the Empire wasn’t in her room, so we were a little worried and came out to look for her,” Littorio explained to Little White with a smile, revealing their purpose.

"Why did you come to my room looking for me..." Xiaobai asked subconsciously.

"Well, on our way here we met a ship girl who smelled really nice. She said the Empire should be in your room, Admiral Lu Lin," Littorio said with a smile. "It's so late at night, and we're troubling you to take time out of your busy schedule to take care of my little sister. We really appreciate it."

"..." Xiaobai lowered her head and covered her forehead again.

What exactly is Akagi from the Deep Sea up to...? Why does she like bringing Nia's ship girls to her own dormitory so much...?

"Commander, good evening." Veneto and Littorio entered Shiro's room, bowing to Nia and Luo Lian in greeting. "Admiral Luo Lian is here too?"

“Yes, we’re all here,” Nia said with a smile.

"Empire, what are you doing in Admiral Lu Lin's room so late at night instead of sleeping?" Veneto walked up to Empire, reached out and pinched Empire's cheek. "You're going to cause trouble for Admiral Lu Lin."

"Woo, woo woo..."

The Empire's face was pinched slightly by Veneto, who raised her hand, making her face look like a pinched rice cake.

“We don’t need to teach the Empire a lesson tonight. She came to Xiaobai’s place for something to do.” Nia said with a smile. “It’s fortunate that the Empire came to Xiaobai’s place tonight, otherwise we might have lost contact with Rome.”

"Huh? Rome?"

Upon hearing the name Rome, Veneto and Littorio were visibly taken aback, and they both looked at Nia.

"Commander, you said... what does Rome mean?"

"She actually met Rome..."

Nia told Veneto and Littorio about what had happened that night.

Xiao Bai closed the door and came to the group's side.

Nia spent ten minutes clearly explaining to Veneto and Littorio what had happened that evening.

After hearing Nia's words, Veneto and Littorio looked slightly surprised.

“…A twin sister with black hair and heterochromatic eyes, Rome…” Veneto covered her mouth, looking at the Empire in surprise, “Empire, why didn’t you tell us about something this important sooner?”

"The Empire was afraid you wouldn't believe it, so it didn't say it."

"Uh... this is all thanks to Admiral Lu Lin..."

Just as everyone was chatting briefly, suddenly, there was another knock on Xiaobai's door.

"Huh? Is it so lively tonight?" Xiaobai looked at the door that had been knocked on and exchanged glances with everyone inside.

"who knows……"

"Who was called over this time?"

"Could it be that fragrant and pretty woman?"

"Let's open the door and take a look."

Xiao Bai walked to the door and opened it.

Moonlight streamed in from outside the door.

Under the moonlight, a white-haired girl in loose pajamas stood shyly outside the door, clutching a snow-white pillow.

Under the moonlight, Changchun's shoulder peeked out from the neckline of her pajamas, like a delicate jade carving, milky white and lustrous.

"Admiral...I'm here..." Changchun said softly, her face flushed and her head down.

"Huh? Changchun?!"

"Um... Admiral, well, it's been a while since I've been here, and I finally managed to get Anshan-neechan to sleep today... so I'm a little late..."

Changchun stood shyly at the door for a long time, but after standing there for a long time, apart from the previous response, she did not receive any other response from Xiaobai.
