Elder brother's garrison

"Hey, isn't that Dr. Yubari?! Dr. Yubari, you've finally decided to come out of your dorm for some fresh air! And you're here too, Lady Vestal!"

The ship girls greeted the two of them warmly.

Yubari and Vestal waved to the crowd, exchanged a brief greeting, and then stopped at the edge of the training field, watching the ship girls coming and going, chatting quietly.

Although Yubari and the female hearth goddess tried their best to conceal their expressions, everyone could still discern a strange gloomy mood on their faces.

“…” Richelieu stared wide-eyed at Yubari and the Vestal Goddess. “Huh? The Vestal Goddess really came to Chapter Eight?”

Richelieu suddenly seemed to realize something; her pupils contracted, and she looked at Jean Bart.

"Wait, Jean Bart, since Lady Vestal has really come, does that mean what you just said..."

“It’s true!” Jeanbart nodded quickly.

"..." Upon hearing this, Richelieu's face turned pale. She staggered back two steps, utterly distraught. "This, such a big thing...?"

When faced with something shocking, both ship girls and humans instinctively choose to share and spread the word.

Richelieu trembled as he pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

Richelieu's phone contained only one number, and the contact's name was Sukuf.

"Hey? Sis, who are you calling?"

“I…I’ll call the naval headquarters…” Richelieu stammered.

……

Newbie Town Guardian.

At Xiaobai's home.

"Gurgling, gurgling, gurgling..."

Boiling water rises from the stove.

Loki, who was chopping vegetables on the cutting board, stopped what she was doing, turned off the stove, poured boiling water into a container, and then took a thermometer and probed into the container to observe the temperature of the hot water.

Once the water had stopped boiling and cooled down to a suitable temperature, Loki carried the container of boiling water to the living room.

In the living room, a complete set of equipment for grinding and brewing coffee beans was already prepared. Loki skillfully and quickly brewed the coffee and pushed the cup of coffee, which was emitting a rich aroma, in front of Lexington.

"Mrs. Leigh, your coffee is ready."

"Thank you, Loki." Lexington smiled, picked up the coffee cup, took a sip, and then smiled admiringly. "Hmm... As expected of an experienced maid, your coffee-making skills are just as good as your reputation."

"You flatter me." Loki clasped his hands together, covering his lower abdomen, and bowed slightly to Lexington.

Lexington placed his coffee cup on the table and smiled as he watched Tirpitz, who was writing furiously beside him.

Tirpitz was practicing his calligraphy skills by looking at a copybook for elementary school students.

"Tirpitz, does Bismarck never interfere with your private life when she's at home?" Lexington asked.

“…” Tirpitz looked up listlessly and nodded at Lexington.

"What a pity. If I had such a lovely little sister, I wouldn't want to leave her side for even a day." Lexington stroked half of his face and looked at Tirpitz with a smile.

“…” Tirpitz.

To be honest, Tirpitz had never felt such an urgent desire in his life to see Bismarck stealing aluminum from home.

This pain, which felt as if life and death would separate us, was something Tirpitz truly empathized with.

“Tirpitz, you did a great job today. What reward would you like?” Lexington asked with a smile.

"...playing games."

"Okay, let's play then, but don't play for more than two hours."

"...Two hours isn't even enough time for me to finish the daily tasks in the mobile games I usually play," Tirpitz said in despair.

“If you don’t perform well, you might not even get two hours,” Lexington said with a smile, picking up her coffee cup.

“…” Tirpitz lowered her head, pouting in grievance, “…This is so cruel.”

“This isn’t abuse, it’s an agreement we made beforehand, isn’t it?” Lexington smiled, crossed her legs, and with a flick of her wrist, pulled out a small, square box. She said to Tirpitz, “I didn’t force you to do anything you didn’t like, Tirpitz. I just… did it with your consent. Or… Tirpitz, do you not want this anymore?”

Tirpitz's breathing quickened as soon as he saw the small box in Lexington's hand.

"It's...it's a leaked copy of 'City of Hearts,' the Deluxe Supreme Limited Collector's Edition!" Tirpitz exclaimed, his eyes sparkling. "The game was originally scheduled for release in two weeks, but there were a few isolated cases of leaks. For game developers like us, it's like a sacred relic, almost like an urban legend!"

"It's really kind of you to explain this every time I take it out," Lexington said with a smile, placing the box on the table. "In short, as long as you obediently follow my lifestyle advice and live a normal, healthy, positive, and sunny life for a week, this little gift is yours... That's our agreement, right? If Tirpitz wants to back out halfway, I won't stop you, but this little gift... I'm afraid it can only be given to Jiajia. Tirpitz, you know Jiajia, she's never really valued these electronic toys. She might play with them with you guys occasionally, but she never plays with them at home. I guess if I give them to her, they'll just end up gathering dust in the corner."

At this point, Lexington placed her fair hand on the gift box and then slowly dragged it backward.

The gift box slid across the table with a sizzling sound, like a mournful cry.

"I'll listen, I'll do it." Tirpitz quickly lowered his head, picked up the calligraphy practice book, and continued writing rapidly.

“Hmm, so good.” Lexington said with a smile, “I wish my Gaga was as well-behaved as Tirpitz.”

Brush brush.

The room was quiet, filled with the sound of writing.

“…” Loki closed his eyes.

Mrs. Leigh really... handled Tirpitz with ease.

The way to manage people is to cater to their preferences.

There is no greater truth in the world than this.

Just then, a series of phone calls rang.

Loki opened his eyes and looked at the landline in the living room.

Loki and Lexington exchanged a glance. After Lexington nodded with a smile, Loki walked to the landline, picked up the receiver, and asked in a low voice.

"This is the Bismarck residence."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Loki's calm gaze flickered slightly at one moment.

After a while, Loki hung up the phone and returned to Lexington's side.

"Whose call was it?" Lexington asked with a smile.

"They are...people from the naval base."

"Hmm? Are you looking for Xiaobai?"

"No... it's for sharing messages."

"What news?" Lexington asked, holding his coffee cup and taking a sip.

"It's said that the admiral is going to dismantle the ship's equipment," Loki said calmly.

After Loki finished speaking, she stared at Lexington's coffee cup.

Loki was worried that Lexington might accidentally spit out the coffee she had just drunk.

However, this is not the case.

Upon hearing the news, Lexington showed no reaction. After finishing her coffee, she contentedly placed it on the table.

"Is the source reliable?" Lexington asked with a smile.

"...It is said to have come from the Yubari region and the area around the female hearth goddess, so it is quite reliable."

“…I see. That’s quite a big deal.” Lexington tapped the rim of his coffee cup with his fingertip. “Little White has reached the point where she has the courage to decide the direction of her life.”

Lexington finished speaking with a calm gaze.

Loki quietly watched Lexington's face.

"Aren't you nervous?" Loki asked.

"Huh? What's there to be nervous about?"

"The matter of the admiral."

“Even if you dismantle her ship equipment, Shiro is still Shiro, isn’t she? At least that’s not changed,” Lexington said with a smile. “As for whether she’s a ship girl, an Abyssal, or a human… it doesn’t matter, at least not to us.”

"However, without ship equipment, it is as if we have lost our eternal youth and life."

“Then we should cherish every day and make the most of it,” Lexington said with a smile.

Loki remained silent, then nodded, deeply moved.

Madame Leigh lived up to her reputation; she was truly calm and composed.

Just as Loki was thinking this, Lexington stretched.

“Well, speaking of which, I’m a little tired today, so I’ll head home first.” Lexington stood up, smiling as she handed the gift box on the table to Tirpitz. “Tirpitz, although it hasn’t been a full week yet, I’ll give you this gift first.”

“…Huh?” Tirpitz accepted the gift box from Lexington.

Lexington used the table for support to get up, propped himself up on one hand on his lower back, and walked out of the living room.

"I'm going home to rest now..."

Lexington, weak and listless, leaned against the living room door and left the living room.

Outside the living room, the sound of staggering footsteps could be heard, and then the door opened, and Lexington left the Bismarck house.

Loki glanced in the direction of the living room door, then calmly looked away.

Well, it seems Mrs. Leigh isn't as calm as she appears.

Just then, Loki heard the sound of wrapping paper being torn open.

Tirpitz had already opened the gift box and carefully took out the packaged cassette tape inside.

"Oh...it's the real thing." Tirpitz looked at the cartridge in his hand, filled with emotion. "I didn't expect to get it so soon. All my hard work these past few days was worth it..."

"Aren't you nervous?" Loki asked Tirpitz.

"Hmm? What's so nerve-wracking?" Tirpitz looked at Loki.

"The matter of the admiral."

"Oh...you mean Little White?" Tirpitz shrugged. "She's going to dismantle the ship's equipment?"

"Ah."

"That's a lie. How could she possibly dismantle ship equipment? It's obviously fake."

"?"

"If she dismantles the ship's equipment, how can she have intense sex with Missouri every night?" Tirpitz fiddled with the cassette tape and continued, "Besides, there's Abyssal Yamato, Little Changchun, Veneto, and the others. If Little White were to turn back into a human, with that kind of stamina, she would be drained by them in no time. She can't possibly abandon them, so it's impossible, impossible."

“…” Loki.

Chapter 3180 The Terrifying Nature of Rumors

Tirpitz's understanding of Little White was so profound that it reached the level of a soulmate.

However, the other ship girls in the newbie naval base are clearly not as skilled as Tirpitz.

……

"Huh? What did you say? The Commander wants to dismantle the ship's equipment?"

At the midday tea party, the ship girls, who were enjoying their rest time, were immediately shocked and speechless upon hearing this explosive news.

"Why... why is the Admiral suddenly thinking about dismantling the ship's equipment?!"

"This, this is a huge deal! Oh my god!"

"After removing the ship's equipment, won't the admiral be unable to stay with us forever?"

The ship girls on the table looked around in a panic, and soon everyone's eyes were drawn to the center.

Sitting in the center of the ship girls was Hood, who was holding a teacup and had her long hair neatly combed.

"Everyone... this, this, this kind of unfounded news, we don't know if it's true or not, but, we can't panic, we can't let it throw us off balance..."

Hu De's eyes were already swirling with anger, and her forehead was covered in sweat. She tried to remain calm and stammered as she tried to comfort everyone. Her hand, which was holding the handle of the teacup, was trembling uncontrollably, and the black tea inside was churning like the rising tide.

Seeing Hood's appearance, the ship girls at the tea party could only panic even more.
