Elder brother's garrison

Xiaobai felt relieved after putting down his phone.

Just as Xiaobai was thinking about whether to buy something on her way home, she suddenly noticed that among the three ship girls following behind, Chaoda and La were hanging their heads and looked very depressed.

"Huh? Super Yamato, what's wrong?" Shiro asked.

"..." Chao Da looked up, her expression unusually forlorn. She looked at Xiao Bai, pitiful like a puppy that had fallen into the water.

"Super Yamato?"

“Admiral…” Chao Dahe clutched his collar, but shook his head. “No…it’s nothing…”

"?" Xiaobai stopped in her tracks and quickly approached Chao Yamato, asking with concern, "Is something bothering you?"

"...I..." When Chaoda was touched by Xiaobai, her expression softened. She opened her mouth, then closed it again. Finally, looking at Xiaobai's extremely concerned gaze, she opened her mouth again and asked softly, "Admiral...I...I have a question."

"Hmm? What's the problem?"

"...I...I really don't look like your wedding ship at all, Admiral..." Chao Yamato looked at the ring on her hand and asked softly.

Chapter 3196 The Panic of the Super Yamato

"what?"

Super Yamato's sudden statement left Shiro, Vesta, and Yubari stunned for a moment. They stared at Super Yamato's face as if they were witnessing a truly magical scene.

Seeing that Xiaobai and the other two didn't know what to say for a moment, Chaoda and herself quickly became embarrassed. She lowered her head and hurriedly put her hands away.

"Never mind... never mind, Admiral, just pretend I didn't say anything..."

"Uh...oh...oh..."

Xiaobai nodded subconsciously, looking at Chao Yamato with a somewhat dazed expression.

The four walked back to the temporary garrison. The atmosphere on both sides of the street was lively, but no one said a word along the way.

Xiao Bai secretly glanced at Chao Dahe out of the corner of his eye.

Chao Da kept her head down the whole way, gently rubbing the ring on her left ring finger with her fingers. She looked dejected, lost in thought...

Ok……

wrong.

Xiaobai probably knows what Chaoda is thinking.

She must have been shocked by Nanxing's casual remark about a "huge and un-Xiaobai-like wedding ship".

Xiao Bai looked away, scratched his cheek, and couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Xiao Bai believed that Nan Xing had absolutely no malicious intent when he said those words.

And Nanxing was indeed right. Super Yamato was not Xiaobai's marriage ship. The ring on her hand was simply because Super Yamato's deep-sea aura was stronger than that of ordinary deep-sea deans. In order to more safely conceal her aura, Xiaobai needed to give her a more sophisticated deep-sea aura shielding device. There were also many deep-sea deans in the naval base in a similar situation. For example, Loki and Deep Sea Zuikaku were not Xiaobai's marriage ships, but they each had a ring given to them by Xiaobai.

The ship girls in the newbie naval base are now used to the existence of these "functional rings".

only……

Xiaobai never expected that Chao Yamato would actually be affected by someone saying she didn't look like a marriage ship...

This is really...

It leaves one unsure how to react.

The journey was peaceful, and the four returned to the temporary garrison.

Perhaps due to some awkward incidents that occurred on the way, after returning to the temporary naval base, the female hearth goddess and Yubari bid farewell to Shiro before he could even speak and left.

Xiaobai was about to ask the Vessine whether she wanted to return to the newbie naval base or stay in the temporary naval base for a while longer, but before Xiaobai could say anything, the Vessine and Yubari suddenly ran towards the edge of the plaza and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Xiaobai hovered in mid-air with her hands raised, looking at the playground where she could no longer find the goddess of the hearth and Yubari. She scratched her head and looked back at the super-sized Yamato behind her.

The super-large one still looks listless.

Xiaobai scratched her head, thought for a while, and then spoke to Chaoda.

"Super Yamato."

"Admiral?" Chao Dahe looked up.

“Hmm… how should I put it…” Xiaobai put down his hand and said to Chao Yamato, “Anyway… come with me first.”

“…Ah…” Chao Da nodded subconsciously, “…Okay.”

Xiaobai led Chaodahe towards the dormitory building, and led him back to his own bedroom.

Today, Xiaobai stayed up all afternoon to solve Nanxing's problem and purchase ship equipment. By the time she cured Nanxing at the Nanxing Naval Base and returned to the temporary naval base, it was already close to afternoon.

The afternoon is the liveliest time in the entire naval base.

With nothing to do, the ship girls wandered around the temporary naval base. As soon as they saw Shiro return with Yamato, they immediately waved and greeted them.

"Admiral Lu Lin, you're back!"

"Admiral Lu Lin, good afternoon!"

"Admiral, want to have dinner together later? I heard they're having your favorite jajangmyeon today!"

"Good afternoon, Super Yamato!"

"..."

Along the way, Shiro and Super Yamato were surrounded by the affectionate calls of the ship girls.

Shiro and Chao Yamato responded to the surroundings. The two returned to Shiro's dormitory, where Shiro opened the door and led Chao Yamato inside.

Upon seeing Chao Da and entering Xiao Bai's dormitory, the surrounding ship girls acted as if it were perfectly normal and continued chatting.

"Hey, Chao Yamato followed Admiral Lu Lin into the room."

"That's normal. Super Yamato is a favorite of Admiral Lu Lin. I heard from the newbie ship girls in the naval base that Super Yamato has been Admiral Lu Lin's right-hand woman since she entered the base, and she's been a great help to her."

"Oh, no wonder!"

"I guess this time it's another discussion with Miss Chaoda about the base's development plans."

"Does Admiral Lu Lin really like Miss Yamato?"

"No, no, no, actually Admiral Lu Lin is in love with the older sister of the super-Yamato... the Yamato lady who recently came to the naval base."

"Huh? Is that so?"

"That's right, the two of them are very much in love."

"I saw Miss Yamato a few days ago. She's so beautiful and cheerful. If I were Admiral Lu Lin, I would like her too!"

"..."

The ship girls were talking about Shiro and Super Yamato, completely unaware that Super Yamato's foot was dangling in front of Shiro's dormitory threshold, glancing at them with a faint, resentful look.

The ship girls felt a sudden chill run down their spines and instinctively hugged their arms and shivered.

"Huh... why do I feel a little cold?"

"Could it be that I'm not wearing enough clothes..."

"Isn't it summer now?"

The ship girls looked left and right, their faces full of confusion.

"Super Yamato? Come in." Xiaobai's voice came from inside the dormitory.

“…Okay…” Chao Da responded, then looked away and entered the room with her head down.

After entering the room, Chao Da closed the door tightly behind him.

Inside the room, Xiaobai was standing in front of the table, pouring a glass of cola for Chaoda.

"Sorry, Chao Yamato, I'm not very good at making tea or coffee... If I were to make this, it would definitely taste terrible." Xiaobai pushed the glass of cola that had been poured towards Chao Yamato and smiled apologetically at her. "Um... it's a bit informal to offer you water, so please just use this as a substitute for tea. I hope you understand."

"...It's okay, I'm fine." Chaoda shook her head, walked to the table, picked up Xiaobai's water glass with both hands, looked at the cheongsam constantly churning on the surface of the black cola in the glass, and took a sip.

Xiao Bai sat down to the side, took out some snacks from her ship equipment space, and placed them on the table.

"Um... Chao Yamato, you can keep eating and drinking. I have something to say to you." Xiaobai sat down opposite Chao Yamato and said to her, "You don't need to worry about me. Just pretend I'm talking to myself. You can eat and drink as you please."

"..." Chao Dahe nodded and took small sips of his cola.

"Ahem, it's like this." Xiaobai covered her mouth with her fist, coughed twice, then lowered her hand and said to Chao Yamato, "Actually, when Nanxing said you didn't seem like a marriage ship, she didn't mean any harm... If her words offended you, um... if you think it's necessary, I'll talk to Nanxing about it for you..."

"..." Chao Dahe stopped holding the Coke cup, looked at Xiaobai, and shook her head.

"Don't you need it?" Xiaobai asked.

"...I'm not angry with Admiral Nanxing." Chao Yamato covered his mouth with the rim of his cola cup and said softly.

"But you seemed quite devastated on your way back..."

“That’s because…I think she’s right,” Chao Da said regretfully.

"Ok?"

"..." Chao Dahe didn't say anything more. She just tilted her head back, gulped down the cola in the cup, then puffed out her cheeks, closed her eyes, and reached the empty cup out to Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai understood perfectly and poured Chao Da another glass of cola.

The bubbly, black, sweet water was poured into Super Dahe's cup, at which point Super Dahe withdrew his hand.

"I didn't even realize it before." Chao Yamato swallowed her cola, looking quite dejected as she said to Xiaobai, "Turns out... I'm nothing like the Admiral's marriage ship..."

"...Is there...something wrong with this?"

“If anyone else enters your room, Admiral, and gets seen, rumors will definitely spread throughout the naval base.” Yamato raised his left hand, touching the ring on it, and said, “But when I enter your room, everyone else will just think I’ve received orders from you again… It was the same just now, even though I clearly have a ring that you gave me…”

Chao Dahe couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved at this point.

"Well... that's because you and Chaoda really helped our naval base a lot. Everyone thinks you're very reliable, that's why they think so!" Xiaobai said.

"...Thank you for your comfort, Admiral," said Chao Yamato.

"I wasn't trying to comfort you, I was just telling the truth..." Xiaobai scratched her cheek, looked at Chao Yamato for a while, and then suddenly asked in a low voice, "...But...Chao Yamato, do you want to be treated as my marriage ship by others?"

Upon hearing Xiaobai's words, Chaoda suddenly sat up straight, staring intently at Xiaobai, an unexpected embarrassment appearing on her face.

"Ah...no, no...Admiral...I..." Yamato's face suddenly flushed red. Her eyes darted around, and she stammered, as if she had finally realized something crucial. She quickly explained, "No, it's not like that...I...I didn't have that thought...It's fine if Yamato and you are together, Admiral. I...I didn't think about it...that...I...I don't know...I..."

She spoke in a flustered and panicked manner, trembling as she lifted the paper cup to her lips and drank. The cola kept spilling onto the table as her hand shook, and the paper cup in her hand was almost crumpled into a ball.

Chapter 3197 Super Yamato and Deep-Sea Yamato

So, so I... wanted to be used as a marriage ship for an admiral by someone else?

It wasn't until Xiaobai asked him that Chaoda felt a sudden thud in his heart, as if something had collapsed, and a certain sound appeared.

At that moment, Chao Da and his entire being began to waver.

Oh my god.

Why do I have this kind of thought...?

It was only at this point that Chaoda realized the reason for his low mood.

Before, Chao Yamato was indeed hit hard by Nanxing's unintentional remark that "it doesn't look like a wedding ship." But to be honest, at that time, Chao Yamato didn't think about why she was hit by such a comment. She just felt a buzzing in her head. After realizing that what Nanxing said was true, she suddenly felt inexplicably lost and sad.

It's like having a strange, negative thought in your mind: "I've put in so much effort, but it seems like I haven't gotten any results."

As for the subsequent reactions of the super-Yamato, they were all extensions of this sudden feeling.

Yes.

Why do I feel disappointed?

Isn't this a normal thing...?

If I don't have any intention of becoming the admiral's marriage ship... then even if people say I "don't look like a marriage ship", I won't feel disappointed, right?

That's how it should be.

If I feel disappointed... wouldn't that mean... I hope to be someone's marriage ship to the admiral... and even further, that means... I want to be the admiral's marriage ship?

How could I have such thoughts?

Upon realizing this, Chaoda was overwhelmed by the surging waves in her heart. She had no idea when she had this thought. The emergence of this thought made her feel flustered, scared, and helpless for a moment.

Xiaobai watched as Chaodahe drank his cola with great unease, large chunks of cola sliding down his hand and onto the table. She picked up a handkerchief, stood up, and reached out towards the back of Chaodahe's hand.

The moment Xiaobai's handkerchief touched Chaoda's hand.

Startled and trembling as if struck by lightning, she quickly stood up and took several steps back.
