Elder brother's garrison

"...?" Super Yamato subconsciously took a step back, looking at Shiro and Deep Sea Yamato with a blank expression.

"Little White, is your mental energy still sufficient?" Deep Sea Yamato stared intently at Super Yamato, narrowed her eyes, and suddenly spoke to Little White beside her.

"Don't worry, Yamato-neechan, I could easily have a thousand more like Super Yamato," Shiro replied confidently.

"Then I'm relieved... It's a handshake, right?"

"...What are you thinking about now, Yamato-neechan?"

"Ahem." Deep Sea Yamato coughed, then beckoned to Super Yamato, "Super Yamato, come here, Shiro and I have a big surprise for you."

"what?"

Super Yamato was bewildered when Deep Sea Yamato called him over and then pushed him next to Shiro.

Shiro raised her hand and grasped Yamato's palm, her five fingers extending tightly to intertwine with Yamato's.

“Super Yamato, you’re different from Yamato-neechan. This is the first time I’ve infused you with my spiritual power. You might feel a little uncomfortable… but it should be over soon…” Shiro said with a smile. “If you feel unwell, don’t run away halfway through. Look up and count the stars in the sky. Everything will pass quickly.”

"???" Chao Yamato.

Super Large and is currently in a daze.

The next second, a vast, ocean-like amount of spiritual energy poured into the super-Yamato's ship equipment.

"Hmm... Eek?? Hmm?"

Chao Da's eyes widened, and his body convulsed as he let out a long string of emotionally complex shouts.

The sound was like the fluttering of a nightingale's wings.

It echoed for a long time under the deep night sky.

……

ten minutes later.

Xiao Bai and his group arrived at the fountain in the center of the garden.

"Ha...ha..." Chao Dahe stared blankly ahead, his steps unsteady.

"It's normal to feel this way the first time, aren't you dizzy? Look at your blushing face." Deep Sea Yamato, with a knowing look, put her arm around Super Yamato's shoulder and launched into a long lecture. "You'll get used to it eventually. I don't want you to be sneaked up on by someone without even knowing it. This is the price of safety, you know—"

“balabala…”

Behind him, Yamato from the deep sea kept talking.

Xiao Bai heard the voice behind her and smiled faintly.

“Speaking of which, Admiral,” Jean Bart said, his hands behind his back, as he approached Little White.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Xiaobai turned to look at Jean Bart.

"Who was that deep-sea lady we just encountered?" Jean Bart asked, looking terrified. "I heard from the other ladies in Chapter 8 about our family keeping deep-sea creatures, and I know they're all very gentle and lovely. But the one we just met seemed completely different from the others... I was really afraid she'd eat me up..."

"That was Frederick the Great, who was... well, a rather special Dean of the Deep Sea."

"Is that person really alright...?"

"No problem, trust me," Xiaobai said earnestly.

"She looks amazing..."

“That’s true. If Frederick the Great really goes all out... our garrison would probably have a hard time dealing with her.” Xiaobai nodded and said.

"Huh? Even the world's number one naval base can't handle it? Then who exactly captured her?"

"It's me."

"Admiral? Was it you, Admiral, who led the ship girls to defeat her?"

"No, I defeated her with my own hands."

"Oh... um? Eh? Eh? Eh??"

After seeing Xiaobai's expression, which was anything but joking, Jean Bart looked completely bewildered.

"Admiral, you...you...how could you..."

Just as Jeanbart was about to ask Xiaobai a question, Xiaobai suddenly stopped and pointed to the hot spring facilities not far away, laughing as he spoke.

"Jeanbart, look, we've arrived."

Upon hearing Xiaobai's words, Jean Bart, who was still dumbfounded a second ago, suddenly stiffened and revealed a look of surprise.

"Are we there? Are we there?" Jean Bart looked up in surprise at the hot spring.

Just as Jean Bart was looking over, the moonlight beneath the fountain illuminated the figure of a tall, elegant maid in a long dress.

The maid in front of everyone had her black and white maid dress pulled up high, revealing two snow-white calves. She had a golden ponytail on her head, and the sleeves of her hands were neatly rolled up, revealing snow-white arms and slender wrists. She was standing in the hot spring pool with her back bent, holding a broom brush that was more than a meter long and brushing the inner wall of the hot spring.

Swish swish swish swish swish...

Under the moonlight, the maid's figure appeared so steadfast and hardworking.

I didn't expect Richelieu to still be working overtime so late.

Xiao Bai looked at Richelieu in the hot spring pool and waved in her direction.

Richelieu—

Little White's calls reached Richelieu's ears as he worked diligently. Richelieu, who was cleaning the inside of the hot spring, stopped what he was doing, put the broom and brush in one hand, and then straightened up to look at Little White.

Richelieu was slightly taken aback when he saw Shiro leading Deep Sea Yamato and Super Yamato toward him.

"...Admiral Lu Lin?"

Richelieu looked at Xiaobai and his group in surprise.

"Richelieu, good evening. What are you doing?" Xiaobai and his group walked to the hot spring and looked at Richelieu in the pool.

Chapter 2700 Richelieu is very scared

Richelieu stared blankly at Xiaobai and his group standing outside the hot spring.

Richelieu seemed completely unprepared for Little White's appearance, so much so that she didn't react for a moment after seeing him.

It took Richelieu quite a while to come to his senses.

"Ah! Admiral Lu, Admiral Lu Lin...you're back..." Richelieu, regaining her senses, quickly put down the mop and brush in her hand. She first stood in the hot spring pool and bowed to Xiaobai at a very standard ninety-degree angle, then stood up and looked at Xiaobai and his group, replying in a humble tone, "Admiral Lu Lin, good evening. Um...I'm cleaning the hot spring right now."

"Cleansing the hot springs—"

Xiao Bai nodded, his gaze unconsciously drifting towards Richelieu's lower body.

Richelieu's maid's long dress was lifted by herself with a few ribbons and neatly tied around her waist, leaving her bare legs and feet exposed to the air, intimately in contact with the warm pool water. Right at the edge where Richelieu stood, a pair of black maid's boots that had been taken off were neatly placed together on the steps at the edge of the hot spring.

It appears that Richelieu is indeed currently undergoing cleaning operations.

"Do maids have to work this late?" Xiaobai asked.

“No…” Richelieu lowered his head and said respectfully, “because the fountains should be cleaned during off-peak hours as much as possible.”

"Is that so?" Shiro asked, turning his head to look at Yamato Akagi beside him.

“That’s right. After all, we need to keep the hot springs open for business during the day. Hot springs are very popular in our naval base. Imagine if someone had to clean them, the hot spring facilities would have to be shut down, and people who wanted to soak in the hot springs would have to leave disappointed. How disappointing would that be?” Yamato Fukami shrugged and said to Shiro. “So, we at the naval base try to schedule cleaning for times when there are no people around.”

"Eh... Oh, I see." Xiaobai sighed, "Being a maid is really not easy..."

“That’s not true. The maids at our naval base are paid five times more for night shifts than during the day.” Yamato Fukami said solemnly, opening her palms to Shiro. “Moreover, the workload is much less than during the day, and you don’t have to worry about Sister Renown showing up from time to time while you’re working. It’s incredibly free and indulgent.”

"..." Xiaobai smiled bitterly.

Turning back, Richelieu was still standing in the fountain, waiting for Little White to speak.

"Richelio, how much of the cleaning work is left? Do you need our help?" Xiaobai asked with a smile.

"Huh?" Richelieu was stunned. She quickly raised her hand and waved it rapidly at Little White. "No need, no need. The cleaning work is almost finished—I was just doing the final touches!"

Richelieu spoke while looking at Little White with a strange gaze.

Richelieu was surprised and deeply puzzled by Little White's words.

When Richelieu was working as a maid at the naval base, she would often see Shiro. However, Shiro was usually very busy with Princess Manji, and even if she happened to run into Richelieu at work, she would at most come up to say hello and then leave. As for today, Shiro suddenly showing concern for Richelieu and wanting to come in and lend a hand, this was probably the first time Richelieu had ever met Shiro.

Why is Admiral Lu Lin suddenly so concerned about me?

Richelieu was confused.

"I see." Xiaobai looked at Richelieu, who looked confused, and nodded with a smile. "It's okay, we'll wait for you then."

"Admiral Lu Lin, is there something you need from me?" Richelieu finally understood Xiao Bai's thoughts. She curiously patted her chest and asked Xiao Bai and her group.

"Yes."

“…What is it?” Richelieu looked at Shiro, his gaze involuntarily drifting to the Deep Sea Yamato and Super Yamato behind Shiro.

Late at night.

What is Admiral Lu Lin doing here with two Deans of the Deep Sea Academy?

I'm still a criminal, so it seems like there's nothing I can do to help Admiral Lu Lin.

Moreover, according to Xukufu, shouldn't Admiral Lu Lin be in Chapter Eight right now?

How did I suddenly return to the garrison without anyone noticing...?

"Let's talk about it after you finish your work," Xiaobai said with a smile, looking at Richelieu's bare legs.

“…” Richelieu.

Xiao Bai's mysterious speech, coupled with her enigmatic yet gentle smile, made Richelieu's heart skip a beat, and he suddenly tensed up.

Richelieu has been living in the newbie garrison for almost two years now.

Over the past two years, Richelieu has had her rough edges smoothed out. She has gradually adapted to life in the newbie naval base, going from feeling uncomfortable when she first arrived. As she worked from sunrise to sunset every day, Richelieu suddenly realized that she seemed to have been completely assimilated by the harmonious atmosphere of the newbie naval base, and thus gradually put aside the fact that she was still a criminal.

Richelieu's breathing stopped involuntarily.

A bead of cold sweat trickled down his spine.

For some reason, a strange sense of crisis made Richelieu unconsciously clench his fists.

Oh no, it's broken...

Is Admiral Lu Lin perhaps going to... settle her past sins?

Thinking of this, Richelieu began to break out in a cold sweat.

—No matter what, I am still a criminal who once kidnapped Admiral Lu Lin!

—This would be a serious crime in any naval base!

—Sukuf often says that Admiral Lu Lin is petty. Although she has never really punished him before, who knows, maybe one day Admiral Lu Lin will be in a bad mood and find a strange reason, such as stepping into the naval base with her left foot, to kill him!

As expected, it was bound to happen.

Having committed a grave crime, he is finally about to face his retribution.

Kidnapping the world's number one admiral is a serious crime... it's definitely punishable by death.

Otherwise, Admiral Lu Lin wouldn't have chosen to come see him late at night, bringing only two Deans of the Deep Sea Academy.

As Richelieu thought about this, looking at the two Deep Sea Deans behind Xiaobai, he suddenly felt a little dizzy.

"Richelieu, what's wrong?" Xiaobai asked with concern, seeing that Richelieu was not moving. "Aren't you going to keep working?"

Xiao Bai's voice was clear and delicate.

But to Richelieu, it sounded like the tolling of bells on the road to the underworld, terrifying beyond measure.

Richelieu's heart pounded.

“…Yes…yes.” After taking some time to calm herself down, Richelieu tried her best to keep her voice from trembling. She reached out her trembling hand to pick up the mop brush from the hot spring pool and bent down to slowly scrub the last tile in the pool.

He's already on the verge of death, yet he still wants to clean the hot spring pool before he dies...

Admiral Lu Lin is really making the most of everything...

As Richelieu thought about this, looking at her own feet in the pool, for some reason, a sudden surge of grievance and sorrow welled up in her heart, causing tears to well up in her eyes, which she rarely shed.

Richelieu did consider escaping.

Richelieu knew perfectly well that there was no point in running away from here.

Richelieu had lived in the newbie naval base for two years, during which time the ship girls there treated her like family and told her many secrets that no one outside the base knew. As a result, Richelieu knew better than anyone else just how powerful the security was in this seemingly peaceful naval base.

There is no escape.
