Elder brother's garrison

Page 2033

Suddenly, a cry of surprise rang out from the side.

"Ah! I remember now!" Ning Lu's eyes widened, and she clasped her hands together. "Yes! It was this ship girl named Jean Bart who produced the evidence of Admiral Ke Yuan's crimes! I remember I wrote her name on..."

At this point, Ning Lu flipped through her notebook, quickly turning several pages until she stopped at a page with bold, flowing handwriting.

“Yes, right here… Jean Bart!” Ning Lu held the notebook, a puzzled look appearing on her face as she spoke. “Eh… that’s strange. Didn’t I look at this page several times before? How come I didn’t notice Jean Bart’s name here before…”

Mu Yu silently looked at Ning Lu, then looked up at Jean Bart, who was scratching his head and grinning mischievously.

Mu Yu was no ordinary man; he was, after all, a legitimate governor.

Therefore, when Mu Yu saw Ning Lu, who was in a state of confusion because of Jean Bart's appearance, he quickly figured out the cause and effect.

"I see... Is this the level of neglect and forgetfulness...? I completely understand now." Mu Yu sat back down, let out a long sigh, and said to Xiao Bai with a slightly fluctuating gaze, "I didn't expect that there would be such a... terrifying ability among the ship girls. Little Bai, it seems that the real special ship girl is not Roma from the Nia family, but this Jean Bart, right?"

"You guessed it so quickly?"

"It's not a matter of guessing or not... How could an ordinary ship girl possess such a terrifying ability..." Mu Yu sighed helplessly, covering her forehead with one hand. "Little White Sister, Jean Bart's ability is simply too terrifying. If she weren't your owner, I would definitely use my governorship to keep her in a place where she wouldn't cause trouble for the world..."

"Hahaha..." Xiaobai smiled at Mu Yu.

Want to control Jean Bart...

What a beautiful thought.

Even if Mu Yu really wanted to target Jean Bart, once Jean Bart's inconspicuous nature took effect, Mu Yu would probably forget all about her.

That's how powerful that ability is.

"Can Jean Bart's ability be controlled?" Mu Yu thought for a while and asked Xiao Bai.

“It’s all about her constitution, so it definitely won’t work.” Xiaobai shook her head. “Based on my testing over this period of time, Jean Bart’s ability only temporarily fails after she actively develops the desire to communicate with people and actually engages in communication with them.”

"Doesn't that mean that if she wanted to, no one in the world would notice her? Including research documents..."

"Yes."

"Little White Sister, are you alright?"

“I am her admiral, her constitution does not work on me.” Xiao Bai glanced at Jean Bart and said to Mu Yu with a smile.

"...That reason is too idealistic..." Mu Yu stared at Xiao Bai suspiciously, but seeing Xiao Bai's smile, he still sighed, "But so be it... With such a terrifying ship girl by your side, Ke Yuan's schemes and tricks are probably transparent to you. It seems that Ke Yuan's defeat was not unjust."

“That’s not entirely true. Even with Jean Bart’s help, I never imagined that Miss Ning Lu would collude with Ke Yuan.” Xiao Bai said, then turned to Ning Lu and asked, “Speaking of which, how did Miss Ning Lu exchange information with Ke Yuan? She didn’t even know that Jean Bart, whom I planted next to Ke Yuan, knew about it.”

"It's just Morse code." Ning Lu scratched her head and said to Xiaobai with an awkward smile, "The communication between Ke Yuan and me is basically all done through secret telegrams. Although you, this ship girl, can get close to people without them noticing, you might lack some knowledge of espionage, right?"

"Is that so?" Xiaobai asked Jean Bart.

"Hmm... if that's the case, it seems like when Ke Yuan waters the flowers at home, there are sometimes some creaking sounds coming from the flowerpots." Jean Bart nodded his chin and said curiously, "Is that... something about Morse code?"

“Yes.” Ning Lu shrugged and spread her hands helplessly.

"Wow, this guy is really shady. He even has to be wary of his own ship girls." Jean Bart covered his face with his hand and complained with great distress.

"After all, Jean Bart can only come to other people's side, but he can't crawl into other people's heads..." Xiao Bai said with a smile.

The conversation with Governors Mu Yu and Ringo continued.

"Well... in short, now that we have the evidence you submitted, Little White, it's only a matter of time before we try Admiral Ke Yuan and dismantle the network of connections he represents as the Ninth Admiral." Mu Yu said reassuringly to Little White, "At least from the perspective of the future atmosphere and peace of the admiral community, I think we all need to thank you for your great help, Little White."

"I didn't really do much myself," Xiaobai chuckled. "So, how will Admiral Ke Yuan likely rule?"

"Indescribable, indescribable." Mu Yu shook his head at Xiao Bai. "But Xiao Bai, you probably don't need to call him Admiral Ke Yuan anymore. Just call him Ke Yuan. Of course, more likely than not, you will never see him again."

"I see, then I'm relieved." Xiaobai nodded and said earnestly to Mu Yu, "That person has done many bad things, he is beyond redemption, so please sentence him severely."

"Haha, this is the first time I've ever seen Little White Sister hate someone so much."

"Who told him to frame Nia?"

“I will seriously consider your opinion, Little White Sister.” Mu Yu nodded. “After all, it is the world’s number one admiral who personally requested a severe sentence, so I have no choice but to take this suggestion seriously.”

"Please, I'm counting on you." Xiaobai said, slowly getting up.

"Hmm? Little White, are you leaving?" Mu Yu looked at Little White curiously.

"Yes, haven't we finished talking about everything?" Xiaobai asked back.

"Sigh, in the end, I'm just a tool for Little White Sister, someone to be used and then discarded—" Mu Yu picked up a handkerchief and wiped away imaginary tears again. "I was clearly Little White Sister's first guide, so why did things turn out like this?"

"...If you keep doing this, I'm going to tell the president that you're harassing me."

"Ahem, just kidding, just kidding," Mu Yu chuckled and put down her handkerchief. "Anyway, goodnight, little Bai."

Xiao Bai sighed.

She looked at Mu Yu, Ning Lu, Lin Qing on the sofa, and Luo Lian who stood up with her.

Xiao Bai waved goodbye to Lin Qing and Ning Lu, then took Luo Lian's hand and walked to the elevator door. She made a face at Mu Yu and stuck out her tongue.

The elevator doors opened.

Xiao Bai and Luo Lian slipped inside one after the other, and with the waving of the two governors and Ning Lu, they took the elevator and left the top floor of the Governor's Guild.

Chapter 2855 Favorability Increases

Mu Yu, Lin Qing, and Ning Lu watched as Xiao Bai and Luo Lian entered the elevator. As the elevator doors slowly closed, the two disappeared from sight.

Mu Yu let out a long sigh of relief, sat back down in his chair, and stretched comfortably.

"Phew—the troublesome thing is finally over!" Mu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back in his chair, and looked up at the ceiling. "My mission is complete."

Ringo remained silent, gently picked up her coffee cup, and took a small sip.

Ning Lu, sitting opposite Ringo, stared intently at Ringo's every move, seemingly lost in thought.

"...?" Ringo put down her coffee cup and looked at Ning Lu.

“Governor Ringo, Governor Mu Yu, actually, there’s a question I’ve been wanting to ask you for a while now.” Ning Lu’s gaze kept lingering between Mu Yu and Ringo before she said, “Can I say it now?”

"What's the problem?" Mu Yu asked.

"What I'm saying is... Governor Mu Yu and Governor Lin Qing are a man and a woman working together all the time, isn't that a bit inconvenient? And Governor Lin Qing is so beautiful... well, indescribably beautiful, even I, a girl, am tempted!" Ning Lu asked, her hands clasped together and her eyes sparkling. "So, Governor Mu Yu, as a man full of vigor, after working with Governor Lin Qing for so long, haven't you ever felt a flutter in your heart for her? Or are you two just lovers, always doing those intimate things here when we're not looking?"

"Cough cough cough cough cough—" Mu Yu couldn't catch his breath and immediately let out a series of violent coughs. "Ning Lu, how dare you! You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!"

“Eh…isn’t that right?” Ning Lu said regretfully.

"No, absolutely not, absolutely not!" Mu Yu jumped up and down, raising his arm and making an X shape with his fingers as if he were crazy. "Absolutely impossible, one hundred percent impossible, ten thousand percent impossible! Even if I die, die here, or jump off the top floor of the Admiral's Guild, I will never have anything to do with Governor Ringo!"

Wow... such a strong sense of resistance.

"My attitude is just so resistant!!!" Mu Yu screamed, clutching her head.

"Haha, sorry, sorry, I was wrong, I was wrong. I didn't expect Governor Mu Yu to be so resistant." Ning Lu scratched her head and waved her hands awkwardly. "Well then, let's review what happened at the banquet."

"Yes, that's right, good for the debriefing." Mu Yu immediately sat down.

"So, in short, at the banquet, Admiral Lu Lin ordered the ship girls to produce evidence of Admiral Ke Yuan's crimes... Hmm? Wait, which ship girl was it again?" Ning Lu suddenly wondered, "I can't remember her name. I have a vague feeling that I've been told this name more than once..."

"Huh? It looks like it's me too. Who was it again?"

Mu Yu also recalled the events with distress.

Mu Yu and Ning Lu stared at each other, looking at the empty table, racking their brains for a long time without coming up with any ideas.

Beside Mu Yu, Ringo quietly sipped her coffee, seemingly detached from the situation.

Ringo put down her coffee and slowly walked to the transparent window of the Admiral's Guild, looking down at it.

Below the Admiral's Guild, Xiaobai and Luo Lian had just left, walking side by side towards the dark streets.

Ringo rested one hand on the windowpane and gave a faint smile to Shiro in the distance.

tonight.

Star bright.

……

Perhaps because so much has happened tonight, the city is unusually quiet in Chapter Eight tonight.

Xiao Bai and Luo Lian walked along the night road, chatting and laughing as they went, creating a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.

The two returned to the temporary garrison without any hindrance.

After returning to the temporary garrison, Luo Lian stretched and smiled slightly at Xiao Bai.

"Xiaobai, I'm a little hungry. I'm going to the cafeteria to find something to eat. You go back to the dorm first."

"Huh? Oh... Lianlian, you didn't seem to eat anything at the banquet..." Xiaobai raised her hand to Luo Lian, "How about I go and get something to eat with you?"

"No need for that, Xiaobai, aren't you hungry?" Luo Lian shook her head and said to Xiaobai, "You can go keep your ship girls company. I'll just go and get something to eat by myself. It'll also give me a chance to clear my mind and think about other things."

"Oh... okay then." Xiaobai nodded and smiled at Luo Lian.

Luo Lian is always so considerate.

Luo Lian waved goodbye to Xiao Bai and hurried towards the cafeteria.

Xiao Bai stood there, watching Luo Lian's figure disappear into the night.

"Admiral Luo Lian, how did we become friends?"

After Luo Lian's figure disappeared, Xiao Bai heard Jean Bart's curious voice.

Xiao Bai turned his head to look.

Jean Bart was standing not far away, holding the back of his head and looking at him.

Under the starlight, Jean Bart's fair face was filled with curiosity.

“Lianlian and I have known each other for a long time,” Xiaobai explained to Jean Bart. “We were friends before I became an admiral.”

"Huh? Admiral, you and Admiral Luo Lian are the same age?"

"Yes."

"But Admiral, weren't you made an exception to become Admiral? You're the only one in the world who has done so, right? What's the story with Admiral Luo Lian?"

“Lianlian is different from me; she passed the exam for the Admiral’s license through her own efforts.”

Wow... a student who skipped a grade.

"...Jean Barth, you know quite a lot of words." Xiaobai said to Jean Barth with a smile, "You've been eavesdropping on your ship girl companions' conversations quite a bit lately, haven't you?"

"Ah...hehe...yes, it was my sister who told me..." Jean Bart froze, as if he'd been caught red-handed, and laughed awkwardly, "I'm very well-behaved...super well-behaved..."

"Don't do that next time."

“…Okay, okay…” Jean Bart said dejectedly, “The Admiral is really strict…”

"Strange verbal tic."

“Admiral—” Jean Bart leaned toward Little White, “Don’t be angry after I say this, okay? I’ve noticed that the Admiral can be exceptionally serious at times.”

"Hmm? For example, when?" Xiaobai looked at Jean Bart.

"For example... Admiral, you don't allow me to use my abilities to steal food."

“That’s definitely not going to work. It’s not like our garrison is short of money.” Xiaobailin shook his head. “Besides, even if we don’t have money, it’s still not okay. Poverty is not a reason to steal.”

"And... they won't let me use my abilities to tease the ship girl sisters."

“Ever since I saw you play a trick on Nia’s family, I’ve realized how terrible the consequences can be if I let you get away with it.” Little White held out his hand to Jean Bart. “So this is out of the question, well… or rather, it’s okay if it’s your own family, but you have to be careful not to go too far.”

What does "discretion" mean?

"You'll have to figure that out for yourself," Xiaobai said to Jean Bart with a smile. "Anyway, if I see you going too far, I'll have your sister spank you, you know."

"Admiral! I treated you with all my heart, and you actually used my sister to bully me!" Jean Bart trembled, quickly covering his pert buttocks, and protested with a pout at Little White, "I was your great hero this time, how could you treat your MVP like this! I'm heartbroken, I'm really heartbroken!"

"Okay, okay, I was just kidding," Xiaobai said to Jeanbart with a smile. "How could I bear to hit you when you're so obedient?"

“Tch…” Jean Bart muttered, “The admiral just knows how to say these kinds of polite things.”

Xiao Bai patted Jean Bart's arm and walked with her towards the dormitory.

There was a brief silence between the two of them.

Suddenly, Jean Bart spoke again.

"There is still one."

"Ok?"

“The Admiral has one more thing he’s particular about,” Jean Bart said to Xiaobai.
