Elder brother's garrison

Immediately afterwards, faint, flustered voices could be heard.

"Oh no, it's terrible! Admiral Lu Lin has found out..."

"It's because Veneto, you've been watching for too long."

"I, I also..."

"What should we do? It seems we interrupted the commander's conversation with Admiral Lu Lin."

"Oh no, oh no..."

"Shh, shh-"

The sound rang out, and then faded away.

Silence soon fell outside the door.

Xiao Bai sat on the chair, looking at the empty corridor from his angle, then turned around and smiled at his two admiral friends on the bed.

"It's been a long time since I've spoken to your Veneto and the others," Xiaobai said to Nia with a smile.

“Ah, that’s perfect…” Nia quickly waved towards the door and called out, “Veneto, Cleveland, come in, Admiral Lu Lin wants to have a word with you!”

Nia's voice faded.

There was immediate commotion in the hallway outside the door.

Before long, one figure after another stood up from the corridor, leaning against the windowsill, and then awkwardly poured into Nia's dormitory.

Nia, who was walking at the front, looked embarrassed. She lowered her head and rubbed her hands, her silver-gray eyes looking at the three people in the room with great embarrassment.

"I'm so sorry... Commander, and Admiral Lu Lin, Admiral Luo Lian, I'm sorry for disturbing you just now..."

"It's alright, Xiaobai really wants to chat with you guys, come on over." Nia smiled and patted the headboard.

Veneto and her group looked somewhat awkwardly at the smiling Nia. They then turned to look at the smiling Little White, their eyes filled with a mixture of shyness and anticipation, before finally stepping forward.

"Admiral Lu Lin, hello..."

"You've finally come home, have you greeted your comrades back at the naval base?" Xiaobai asked the ship girls in front of her with a smile.

"I already asked!" Veneto nodded quickly. "Um, I also went to the training ground to meet Veneto, the senior from Admiral Lu Lin's family..."

"Oh? You went to see my ship girl? What's up?"

“Veneto-senpai was so happy to see me back… um, she… she even praised me for my progress lately, saying I’m starting to look like a ship girl.” Veneto from Nia’s family lowered her head, rubbing her hands together, her eyes filled with the excitement of receiving recognition. “Um… I, I’m so honored…”

"Progress that Veneto can acknowledge..." Xiaobai nodded and looked Veneto over a few times.

indeed.

After several months apart, the ship girls of Nia's family seemed to have experienced many intense PvP battles, and their aura was much more complex than before.

If they were a group of warriors before... then they are now a group of seasoned warriors.

Xiaobai nodded in satisfaction and smiled at the ship girls.

"Veneto, come here." Little White gestured for Veneto to lower his head and bend over to him.

"Admiral Lu Lin?" Veneto looked at Xiao Bai's actions with some curiosity, but still subconsciously followed Xiao Bai's instructions and squatted down slightly, bowing in Xiao Bai's direction.

Veneto of Nia's family was a tall and voluptuous woman. When she bent down towards Xiaobai, she was completely unguarded towards him. What she saw was a magnificent, snow-white view.

Veneto was curious about what Little White was going to do.

The next second. Suddenly, Veneto felt a small hand touch the top of her head, stroking her hair.

"Veneto, you did a great job!" Shiro said with a smile. "You'll become an even better ship girl in the future."

“…Ah.” Veneto froze, feeling the touch on her head. She suddenly sniffed, lowered her head further, and her eyes began to redden uncontrollably. “Ah…I…I understand, thank you…thank you Admiral Lu Lin.”

Veneto's efforts were acknowledged and praised by Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai withdrew his hand, and Veneto, with slightly reddened eyes, looked at Xiao Bai with emotion.

“Admiral Lu Lin, I will not let you down!” Veneto said.

"Hmm... Good luck." Xiaobai smiled. "Oh, by the way, since you're all here now, take this opportunity to train with my ship girls. It will help improve your strength."

"Understood! I'll go to the training ground right away and find someone to practice with!"

Veneto suddenly became full of fighting spirit.

Xiaobai turned his gaze to Littorio behind Veneto.

“Littorio, you look much stronger too.” Little White reached out to Littorio.

"Thank you for the praise, Admiral Lu Lin." Littorio stepped forward, knelt down in front of Xiaobai, and smiled at her. "I will continue to improve myself."

Little White gently stroked Littorio's forehead twice before withdrawing his hand.

Littorio stood up.

The Emperor walked forward with a calm expression, but his eyes were fixed on Little White with the gaze of a child waiting for Santa Claus to arrive.

Feeling a little embarrassed by the gaze, Xiaobai also reached out her hand.

Empire squatted down in front of Little White, took Little White's hand in his hands, and rubbed his face against it.

"Empire, you have changed a lot too."

"Ah."

As Xiaobai was enjoying the sensation of her fingers rubbing against the Empire's face, she suddenly heard footsteps approaching.

Xiao Bai looked up and saw Roma walking up, one hand on his chest, giving him a gentle smile.

Xiaobai blinked. She first glanced at the Empire, which showed no intention of letting go, then awkwardly met Rome's gaze, and finally tentatively extended her other hand towards Rome.

Rome understood immediately and stepped forward, lowering her head to let Xiaobai gently touch her thick, black hair.

"Rome... um... well... you did well too."

"Thank you for the praise, Admiral Lu Lin." Roma looked up with satisfaction and smiled at Xiaobai.

Rome rose with satisfaction, pulling the still-excited empire back to the back of the procession.

Empire stretched out its hand towards Little White, as if it had been forcibly torn apart, its two feet screeching across the ground.

Xiao Bai looked at his palm and gave everyone an awkward smile.

I only wanted to encourage Veneto at first.

Did it turn into patting the heads of all the ship girls?

Why do I feel like... I've become some kind of knight-errant being bestowed titles upon the victorious knights... it's kind of weird.

Xiaobai's gaze shifted to Dafeng and Cleveland.

"I...I'll pass!" Nia's Taihou's eyes narrowed, and she quickly waved her hand as she stared at Xiaobai's palm. "Although I respect Admiral Lu Lin very much, my whole heart belongs to the Commander!"

"...That's good then." Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief.

After Xiaobai cheered on the ship girls, the ship girls of Nia's family, especially the four Veneto sisters, seemed to be in particularly high spirits.

"Admiral Lu Lin, um... I'll go to training right away!" Veneto pressed his hand to his chest and said to Xiaobai as if he were making some important announcement, his face flushed with excitement. "I'll go right now!"

"Oh? Oh...aren't we going to chat a little longer? Well, that's fine too?"

"Yes! I'll go find someone to train with right away!"

Veneto responded and pulled his three sisters out of the dormitory.

Sitting in the chair, Xiaobai watched as the Veneto-class ship girls from Nia's family hurriedly rushed out, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Honestly, he just got home and hasn't even had a chance to rest before going to find someone to practice with. I don't know where he learned this fighting spirit from."

Xiao Bai smiled and said to Nia.

“Veneto is working really hard,” Nia said to Xiaobai.

"Hmm... all my ship girls are at the training ground. Hopefully, Veneto can find a good opponent." Xiaobai nodded.

"What a formidable opponent..."

Nia smiled with relief as she listened to Xiaobai's words.

"Since it's an exercise with the ship girls from the Shiro family, I'm relieved. The ship girls from the Shiro family are both strong and gentle, and Veneto will definitely benefit a lot from it."

"It's alright... I wonder who will be the one to practice with Veneto in the end."

Consider it a surprise.

"Ha ha……"

Inside the dormitory, the three girls exchanged glances and smiled in unison.

……

at the same time.

Not far from the dormitory building.

At the entrance of the cafeteria, Montana, having eaten and drunk her fill, stretched and walked out of the cafeteria.

Chapter 3084 We have a fair matching mechanism

After the Veneto-class ship girls from Nia's family left, Xiaobai and her two companions stayed in the dormitory with the remaining two ship girls and continued chatting.

Xiao Bai hadn't seen Nia and Luo Lian for a long time. They were best friends who could talk about almost anything before. Now the three of them were finally together again, and they were all reluctant to part so soon.

As for the topics of conversation among the three of them...

During this time, the three of them have experienced a lot in different scenarios. Now that the three girls are together again, they can ask each other questions and exchange pleasantries. There's no need to worry about running out of topics.

As for the two ship girls, Cleveland and Taihou, who were also in the room, they didn't want to leave so soon, but... of course, they were also very sensible and didn't make a sound to disturb the conversation between the three female admirals. So Taihou and Cleveland exchanged a glance, nodded slightly, and quietly moved closer to the three admirals, quietly doing small tasks such as serving tea and water for them.

……

at the same time.

The Veneto-class ship girls, led by Veneto, rushed out of the dormitory building in a flurry of activity.

Veneto, who was walking at the front, was engulfed in invisible flames, like a warrior.

Boom boom boom——

Veneto strode forward with great strides, exuding a powerful and energetic aura.

"I've been praised! I've been praised! I've been praised!" Veneto's face flushed slightly with excitement, his long gray hair swaying as he walked, billowing behind him like a cape. "Admiral Lu Lin's praise... I have to work harder now..."

"Veneto, slow down a bit, we won't be in a hurry," Littorio called out to Veneto, who was walking ahead.

Veneto paused in his steps.

Veneto turned around and put his hands on his hips in front of his three sisters.

"Littorio, and Rome, the Empire—to be precise, you're all too slow," Veneto said aggressively. "Although we've just finished our expedition, that doesn't mean our vacation has begun! In fact, our training has never stopped. You all heard what Admiral Lu Lin said, right? Although we have indeed made a little bit of significant progress, we can't rest yet. We still have a clear gap between ourselves and the ship girls of the world's number one naval base, so we should immediately go find the ship girls of the newest naval base to train and improve! This is Admiral Lu Lin's expectation of us, and we can't become complacent because of a small achievement and thus fail to live up to Admiral Lu Lin's good intentions, blah blah blah..."

Veneto stood tall and, unusually, launched into a long speech to his three sisters.

These remarks naturally left the three younger sister-class ship girls speechless.

"Veneto, calm down, calm down, your weak persona is about to crumble."

"We can calm down when we get to the training ground!" Veneto said to his three younger sisters, raising his two clenched fists. "Every minute we waste now is a waste of our training time!"

Veneto's surging fighting spirit seemed to transform into a raging fire, instantly scorching the faces of the remaining three ship girls.

"Sister has become so troublesome..." Empire took two steps back and whispered, leaning against Rome's chest.

"..." Rome didn't speak, she just gently patted the Empire's shoulder and smiled softly.

“Veneto… well, that’s just how she is. It’s normal for her to get so excited and lose her composure after being praised so much by Admiral Lu Lin to her face… sigh…” Littorio sighed helplessly. She glanced at the fiercely defiant Veneto, then gave a wry smile and said to Rome and the Empire, “Well, it’s rare for Veneto to be so enthusiastic, let’s just go along with her. Anyway, once we get to the training ground, she can release some of her pent-up energy… um?”

As Littorio was speaking, he suddenly looked in the direction to the side of the group and froze.

Rome and the Empire were listening to Littorio when he suddenly stopped talking. They instinctively looked in the direction he was looking.

At this moment, the Veneto-class ship girls were located near the cafeteria.

Right under Littorio's gaze, a tall, delicate-looking unfamiliar ship girl wearing a futuristic coat was stretching and slowly walking out of the cafeteria.

This is a ship girl who seems very easy to get along with.

But at the same time, she is also an unfamiliar ship girl.

"Hmm...?" Littorio stared at the ship girl who came out, her gaze immediately becoming curious and thoughtful. "She's a companion I've never seen before."
