Elder brother's garrison

"She is my special ship girl."

Xiao Bai placed one hand on his chest, looked intently into Montana's eyes, and slowly spoke to her.

The sea breeze blows.

Montana stared at the serious-looking Little White and blinked.

"I understand."

Montana, carrying a basket, walked past Little White to the railing and took out a slice of roasted beef from the basket.

"Pachina".

"Ok?"

"Thank you for dinner. I never imagined that there could be someone in the world who could so precisely control my appetite without ever having met me." Montana chewed his food, swallowed, and then turned to Little White, saying, "Although this isn't really a thank you, feel free to take any supplies from this ship. Don't give me any special treatment."

"I don't really want anything in particular..." Xiaobai scratched his cheek and smiled at Montana, "But thank you anyway."

"You really are detached from worldly desires."

Montana listened to Little White's words, then came to Little White with her basket in hand, took out a small piece of grilled sausage from the basket, and put it in front of Little White's mouth.

Little White opened his mouth and bit the sausage Montana offered to him.

Montana used his fingers to gently stuff the crispy, caramelized sausage into Little White's mouth.

The sausages are the perfect size, just enough for Xiaobai to chew freely.

"Is it to your liking?" Montana asked, looking at Little White.

"Hmm...are you alright?"

Xiaobai covered her mouth and thought for a while. She lowered her head, breathed on it to warm it, and then looked up and smiled shyly at Montana.

The takeout from Missouri to Montana was still too heavily seasoned.

With one bite, Xiaobai felt as if a storm of rich spices had swept through his entire mouth, and his taste buds were being brutally attacked by all sorts of stimulating flavors.

Montana's assessment was too conservative—this is not "a flavor that not everyone will like," but rather "a flavor that most people cannot accept."

This isn't for beginners.

Xiaobai still prefers the seasoning method she usually uses when cooking for herself in Missouri.

"It seems... at least we don't have to worry about fighting over our favorite food at meals anymore." Montana smiled as she looked at Xiaobai's cautious appearance. She turned around again, walked to the railing, looked up in the direction of the city in Chapter Eight, took out a slice of pizza from her basket, and ate it with relish while enjoying the sea breeze.

Montana really liked the food Missouri made for her.

Yesterday, when Montana was eating the sandwiches that Little White brought, she was always chatting while eating. But today, when she was eating food made by Missouri, she kept her mouth shut the whole time as long as she was chewing something, and only said a word or two to Little White after she swallowed it.

Before they knew it, Montana had eaten more than half of the food in the basket.

"Pachina, speaking of which, what kind of person is your admiral?"

Perhaps because of her hearty appetite, Montana was in a much happier mood than usual, and she asked Little White a question.

"Huh? My admiral?"

"Yes, to be able to raise such a unique ship girl like you, your admiral must be a very interesting person as well," Montana asked Shiro while scooping mashed potatoes with a spoon.

"Interesting... um... it's not that exaggerated, is it..." Xiaobai scratched his cheek, unsure how to begin. "Well... how should I put it... um... actually... well... you know... my admiral... she... she's the kind of person... um... let me think..."

Xiao Bai's gaze wandered, hesitant to look in Montana's direction.

Montana raised an eyebrow as he watched Little White waver.

"Is your admiral so hard to evaluate?"

"..."

"Are you worried that someone might overhear you saying bad things about the admiral?"

"Ha ha……"

Xiao Bai smiled wryly.

What Xiaobai is struggling with is whether or not to confess to Montana that she is not actually a ship girl, but the admiral who personally rescued her and brought her home...

Before Montana joined the newbie naval base, he couldn't wait to tell her his identity as admiral, which was actually somewhat risky for a newbie.

But the words came back again.

Montana had been so honest with him, practically telling him everything. Now that she had suddenly asked him this, he wondered if he would be betraying her trust if he were to hide anything from her again…

Think about it.

On one hand, there's safety; on the other hand, there's emotion.

Xiaobai was still very conflicted.

After thinking it over and over, Xiaobai scratched his head and spoke to Montana.

"Montana, actually, about the Admiral's matter... I have something to say..."

"Pachina, wait a moment."

Fortunately, before Xiaobai could reply, Montana, who was gazing at the sea, suddenly spoke up, interrupting Xiaobai.

Montana, holding Little White's basket, stood on the edge of the yacht's deck, gazing at the distant sea.

The moonlight shone on Montana, and her tactical equipment emitted a pale blue glow under the bright light.

“Let’s discuss this another time.” Montana withdrew her gaze, turned to look at Little White beside her, and gave him a friendly smile.

"...What's wrong?" Xiaobai looked at Montana in confusion.

“…Tonight looks like it’ll be much more lively.” Montana raised his right hand, pointed his finger towards the horizon, and said slowly, “Look.”

Xiao Bai followed Montana's finger and looked in that direction.

Sure enough, at the far horizon, a group of ship girls dressed in black robes appeared on the sea under the moonlight.

"Huh?" Xiaobai exclaimed in surprise, "They are..."

Black-robed ship girl?

Isn't that... Ke Yuan's ship girl configuration?

Haven't the ship girls from Ke Yuan's family already been incorporated into the Admiral's Guild?

Why did they choose this time to appear in this place?

Looking at the black-robed ship girl's figure in the distance, Xiaobai was filled with doubt, and his brows couldn't help but furrow.

"Do you know them?" Montana turned his head and asked Xiaobai.

"Hmm... I guess you could say we know each other." Xiaobai nodded thoughtfully.

"...It seems your relationship isn't very good." Montana said to Xiaobai, noticing her furrowed brow.

"..." Xiaobai paused for a moment, then nodded slightly.

“I see.” Montana nodded in understanding and pushed the basket in her arms to Little White. “Pachina, can you hold this for me?”

"Huh? What do you want to do?"

“They chose this time to come to the sea, there’s probably no other reason than to look for me,” Montana said to Little White. “If I’m not mistaken, it seems inconvenient for you to show up right now, so wait for me here while I deal with them.”

"Huh? But..." Xiaobai blurted out instinctively.

"Don't worry, I'll be back before the pizza gets cold."

Montana gave Little White a faint smile.

Montana patted Xiaobai on the shoulder. She picked up the gloves she had just taken off, put them back on her hands that were eating, and then, holding onto the railing of the yacht deck, jumped off the ship.

far away.

The black-robed ship girls that appeared from the sea surface headed directly toward the yacht.

Xiaobai, carrying a basket, watched as Montana, alone, hurried towards the black-robed ship girls.

Xiao Bai suddenly remembered that he had seen some black-robed ship girls on the beach earlier that day.

—Are those black-robed ship girls the current batch?

—Were they observing the battle in Montana during the day to confirm her intelligence?

—Or are they... confirming the feasibility of implementing some kind of plan?

Thinking about this, Xiaobai suddenly felt a sense of unease.

Xiao Bai hugged the bamboo basket tightly, and the basket creaked and groaned in her arms.

I feel...uncomfortable.

Chapter 2991 Targeting the Attack

Putting aside the question of what exactly happened to those black-robed ship girls, and the meaning behind their actions, what Xiaobai was more puzzled about was how they ended up in the 8-2 area.

—Does Xiaobai still remember that the sea area of ​​8-2 was heavily guarded by the Admiral's Guild at night?

—The Admiral's Guild's guard is so tight that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they wouldn't let a single mosquito escape.

The reason why Xiaobai can move freely between the 8-2 sea area and the chapter city at night is entirely because Xiaobai relies on the ability of the Deep Sea Will. But where did these black-robed ship girls get their methods? Moreover, there are more of them than Xiaobai. Why didn't the Admiral's Guild notice that so many people were coming and going at the entrance of the 8-2 sea area?

The more Xiaobai looked at the black-robed ship girls in the distance, the more puzzled she became.

And along with the doubts in her heart, a strange sense of unease also filled Xiaobai's heart.

Think of this.

Xiao Bai bent down and put down the basket in her hand.

"Deep Sea Will, help me eliminate my presence, and while you're at it, cover my body with seawater so those ship girls' detection abilities can't find me..."

Xiaobai jumped off the yacht.

As soon as Xiaobai's body hit the ground, the seawater surged up, transforming into a hand that enveloped her body and pulled her slowly into the sea.

Xiaobai went out at night this time for convenience, so she didn't ask Missouri to do an overly elaborate makeover. She simply changed her clothes, tied her hair in a ponytail, put on a baseball cap, and padded her chest. With the cover of darkness, this level of disguise was enough. People who weren't familiar with Xiaobai wouldn't easily recognize her unless they stared intently at her face. However, if she encountered the ship girls who were paying close attention, especially those from the Ke Yuan family who had a strong impression of her... they might be able to recognize her appearance and identity.

It's a bit hard to explain if these ship girls see you having a tryst with a salvaged ship girl.

But hiding on the yacht was clearly not in Xiaobai's style, and she was also a little curious about what these black-robed ship girls wanted to do with Montana in the middle of the night.

That's why novices need to put on an even more elaborate disguise.

Gurgling, gurgling, gurgling...

Little White was enveloped in bubbles formed by the seawater and sank underwater, slowly following Montana's silhouette in the distance.

……

Montana moved far away from the yacht and stopped on an open stretch of water, quietly waiting for the black-robed ship girls to approach.

Under the moonlight, the dark sea surged relentlessly.

One by one, the black-robed ship girls appeared on the sea with expressionless faces, stopping outside the range of Montana's artillery fire.

Montana glanced at the black-robed ship girls that had appeared on the sea.

"One, two, three, four... eight, nine... twelve, thirteen... twenty... twenty-one... twenty-six."

Montana counted with great interest.

"Good evening, ship girl. It's an honor to meet you."

Among the black-robed ship girls, the leader stepped forward slightly and called out to Montana in a deep voice.

"You must be the ship girls from Chapter 8, right? What can I do for you?" Montana turned her gaze back to the ship girls in front of her.

"Salvage ship girl, we're here to challenge you!" the black-robed ship girl shouted. "Our admiral needs your help!"

“I see.” Montana nodded in understanding, and smiled amicably at the black-robed ship girls. “A perfectly reasonable reason.”

"Let the battle begin!" The black-robed ship girls summoned their ship equipment and assumed combat stances in front of Montana.

However, Montana did not react to the actions of the black-robed ship girls.

Montana shook her head at the black-robed ship girls.

"While the reasons are reasonable, now is not the time for me to accept challenges. Everyone, please return," Montana said to the black-robed ship girls. "Night battles are not a safe thing for ship girls. Moreover, the deep-sea creatures in this ocean are often much more active at night. Even in relatively safe areas, there is no guarantee that they will not wander over. If you want to challenge me, you can choose tomorrow morning. I will be happy to accept your challenge. In addition, any naval base only has one chance to challenge me. The darkness will do you more harm than good. I hope you can be prepared before you come."

After Montana finished speaking, she gave the black-robed ship girls a friendly smile.

"That's all for now. I have some things to do, so I won't stay any longer. I hope you all get a good night's sleep." Montana turned and left.
