Elder brother's garrison

This is a lie.

Shiro hasn't forgotten about returning the horn to Yamato.

In fact, Xiaobai had been thinking about this matter for the past few days. However, from a gemological perspective, the Deep Sea Yamato's horn was indeed a magnificent and rare treasure. Whether placed on the table as an ornament or held in the hand, its brilliant purple light, its clear appearance like an internal galaxy, and its perfect cool touch and smooth feel made Xiaobai love it. Therefore, Xiaobai always subconsciously wanted to stay a few more days, which slowed down the progress of returning the long horn to the Deep Sea Yamato.

Unexpectedly, Yamato from the Deep Sea came knocking on our door.

Shiro handed the long horn back to Yamato with both hands.

Deep Sea Yamato glanced at Longhorn, her eyes lit up, and she nodded eagerly. Then, noticing Shiro's smile, she quickly straightened her back and coughed.

"Ahem... Um... Xiaobai, I didn't come here to... rush you... I just happened to have some free time, so I came to check on you... and also to ask about Jiaojiao."

"I know, Yamato-neechan," Shiro said with a smile.

Yamato then reached out and swiftly pulled Longhorn into his arms.

Deep Sea Yamato hugged Long Horn and couldn't resist giving it a kiss.

Oh, my little horn... you're finally back.

In his mind, Xiaobai provided a voiceover for Yamato's focused expression.

"Big sister Yamato, speaking of which, is the method you used to retract this horn back into your body the same as before, by eating it?" Shiro asked.

“Yes, otherwise.” Yamato Sakura sighed, touching the horn in her arms as if she were stroking a fragile baby. “It’s already been pulled out, it can’t be put back in, so we can only eat it.”

"Do you need my help?" Xiaobai asked.

"No need this time—" Upon hearing this, Deep Sea Yamato blushed and hurriedly said awkwardly, "This time I'll bite, I can bite it!"

"Oh..." Xiaobai said regretfully.

Deep Sea Yamato, holding its purple horn, bid farewell to Shiro with satisfaction and departed.

Xiaobai stood in front of the door, watching Shenhai Yamato skip away with her long horn in her arms, her gaze lingering on her thighs and waist for a long time.

"Hmm... Yamato-neechan's outfit... is actually quite pretty." Shiro muttered to herself.

Yamato is over 500 years old this year, but her appearance and figure are actually closer to that of a human woman around 25 or 26 years old.

Like ship girls, deep-sea creatures have no relation to the years they have lived through. Deep-sea Yamato was born with this appearance, and five hundred years have passed without her changing at all.

Xiaobai can attest to this.

Five hundred years ago, the deep-sea Yamato looked exactly the same as it does now, except that it was a bit fiercer.

To use a somewhat outdated term, it's what's known as the mature, sophisticated "older sister" style.

However, Yamato's outfit just now unexpectedly made her look young and beautiful, giving her a youthful appearance of eighteen or nineteen, or even twenty-one or twenty-two.

Xiao Bai murmured, his eyes filled with admiration.

Yamato-neechan, you're amazing!

The last time Xiaobai went on a date with Shenhai Yamato, Shenhai Yamato wore an elegant and proper lady-like long dress, which looked great. Today, her youthful and beautiful casual outfit also looks great. Moreover, the two outfits have completely different styles, making her look like a completely different person, yet they suit her perfectly.

Could it be that... Yamato-neechan actually has a really good sense of style?

Thinking of this, Xiao Bai looked down at his admiral's uniform, which had remained almost unchanged for thousands of years.

Xiao Bai sighed.

Although I am also human, I am far inferior to Yamato in terms of dressing up.

Next time I spend the night with Yamato-neechan, I should ask her to wear that outfit and give me some pointers.

Chapter 3279 Luo Lian Strikes

That evening, Yamato Shinkai did not come to guide Xiaobai.

Tonight, the person who will be guiding the newbie is Deepsea Akagi.

……

The next morning, Xiaobai got out of bed, which was filled with the fragrance of osmanthus.

After getting dressed and tidying up, Xiaobai stretched happily and walked out of the dormitory.

Outside the dormitory, the sun shines brightly, and through the corridor railings, you can see the playground full of ship girls who got up early for their morning exercises.

Nia happened to be passing by Xiaobai with her ship girl.

Nia had been working extra hard in the exercise these past two days, and Xiaobai had hardly seen her. At this moment, Nia bumped into Xiaobai who was up early. She was stunned for a moment, but then her face was full of joy.

"Ah! Good morning, Xiaobai!" Nia stopped and greeted Xiaobai.

"Nia... Good morning..." Xiaobai subconsciously raised her hand and waved.

Veneto and the others behind Nia were also there. As soon as they heard their admiral's greeting, they all looked towards Xiaobai.

Compared to Nia, who was content with just seeing Xiaobai and had no ulterior motives, the gazes of these ship girls were rather discerning. Veneto and the others subconsciously bypassed Xiaobai and looked at the open dormitory door behind her.

The slightly dimly lit dormitory room had a somewhat mysterious atmosphere, like an open treasure chest, making people unable to suppress their desire to explore.

The air wafting from the room was filled with a fresh and delightful floral fragrance.

The gazes of all the ship girls entered the bedroom and drifted to Xiaobai's bedside. Among Xiaobai's bedding, the snow-white color was particularly dazzling.

A curvaceous, exquisitely beautiful body was faintly visible in the darkness, its back to the door.

In an instant, some of the ship girls' faces turned bright red.

As if they had discovered some secret, the ship girls coughed, lowered their heads, and looked away. Littorio reached out and covered the Empire's eyes, pressing her head to one side.

By the time the ship girls tried to look into Shiro's bedroom again, Shiro had already stood in front of the door and silently closed it.

"Nia, congratulations! You've made it into the top fifteen in the world now, haven't you?" Xiaobai said to Nia with a smile.

"Ah! Xiaobai, have you been keeping an eye on my exercise results?" Nia was even more surprised when she heard Xiaobai's words.

"Yes," Xiaobai nodded with a smile, "I watch it all the time."

These past few days, Xiaobai has had absolutely nothing to do, so her favorite things to do, besides sleeping, are observing the changes in the world rankings.

Speaking of world rankings.

The Admiral Gu Ming, who once pushed Nia from the top 20 to the 40s in the world, has seen her ranking plummet in the past few days. By the time Xiao Bai last observed her, her world ranking had already fallen to 13th.

The reason why Miss Gu Ming's world ranking has dropped so much is not due to a lack of ability.

The main reason is that she has been launching targeted challenges against Nia for the past two days, and her team is completely no match for Nia, thus giving Nia a steady stream of event points.

Nia's world ranking has risen so quickly in the past two days, and Gu Ming deserves at least 50% of the credit.

Such behavior, as described by the character 鹨O(二)二叁泗扒把肆, can be considered a display of deep affection.

Every time Xiaobai sees this, he still feels great respect for Miss Gu Ming.

"Nia, after you finish your practice today, you should be able to break into the world's top ten," Xiaobai said to Nia with a smile.

"I...I will try my best!" Nia nodded quickly upon hearing Xiaobai's words. Then, her eyes blazed with fierce fighting spirit, and she clenched her fists, saying earnestly, "I...I won't let your efforts be in vain, Xiaobai! I...I will definitely make it into the top ten today! If I don't, I'll offer my head in retribution!"

"There's no need to be so serious..." Xiaobai smiled. "With Veneto and the others' current strength, breaking into the top ten shouldn't be too difficult. But remember to be steady and not rash."

“I understand!” Nia nodded quickly.

The ship girls behind Nia also bowed and saluted Xiaobai, loudly thanking her for her selfless teaching.

Xiaobai waved and smiled as she saw Nia and the ship girls off.

As she left, Xiaobai faintly heard the ship girls whispering among themselves.

“Veneto…did you see that just now?”

"See clearly what?"

"It's in Admiral Lu Lin's room..."

"Shh! Shh! Shh! What, what room? I...I...I don't know! I didn't see anything!"

“Veneto, we slept in that same bed with Admiral Lu Lin before…”

"Huh? Hey! No, no... that's not the same thing!"

"You still say you didn't see it."

"Huh!? Li...Littorio—"

"Ha ha ha ha"

The ship girls walked away, and Veneto, her face flushed, gritted her teeth and angrily punched Littorio's shoulder.

The group of people disappeared from Xiaobai's sight.

As Xiaobai watched Nia and the ship girls' backs, he awkwardly scratched his cheek and glanced back at the room.

Whether it was the sound of Xiaobai and Nia talking just now, or simply because the time had come, in the room, Shenhai Akagi got out of bed feeling soft and fuzzy. She leaned against the wall by the bed, covered her rosy lips with one hand, stretched out the other hand, yawned comfortably, and straightened her whole body.

The sheet slipped off Akagi's body, adding a touch of elegant white to the dimly lit room.

"Good morning, my lord." After yawning, Akagi noticed Shiro outside the door and called out to him with a smile.

"Good morning..."

"My lord, could you please bring me my clothes?" Akagi pursed her lips, gesturing for Shiro to look at the clothes scattered on the floor in front of the bed. Her expression was one of languor and enjoyment. "My body is really sore, and I feel like I can't move again."

"……"noob.

From now on, Akagi will stay in her own room every night, and Shiro will not open the door until she wakes up.

Xiao Bai entered the room and closed the door tightly.

……

After settling Akagi into her room, Shiro went alone to the dormitory corridor, leaning on the railing and gazing at the training ground in the distance.

The training ground is quite far from the dormitory building, and even with the ship girl's vision activated, it's difficult to see the situation on the training ground clearly.

However... while the details are unclear, the overall shape is still somewhat discernible.

From Xiaobai's perspective, the training ground was unusually quiet at this moment, without the usual fireworks display.

The entire exercise area was quiet.

"Huh..." Xiaobai, holding onto the railing, asked curiously, "Isn't Lianlian training today? Is she...?"

Just as Xiaobai was wondering, a clear telephone ringtone suddenly sounded.

Xiaobai blinked, then looked down and took out her phone. On the caller ID, the name "Lianlian" was flashing repeatedly.

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao appears.

Xiao Bai smiled and answered the phone.

"Hello, is this Lianlian?"

"Yes, Xiaobai, it's me." Luo Lian's calm and serious voice came from the other end of the phone.

"What's wrong, Lianlian? Why are you calling all of a sudden? Are you not home?"

"No, I just noticed you weren't in your room, so I called you." Luo Lian's voice came from the other end of the phone. "I'm going out with the ship girls later, so I'm letting you know in advance that we won't be having lunch at the temporary naval base."

"Huh? Going out?"

"Yes."

"Going out, could it be...?"

"Yes, the training is almost finished. Although it's still a little lacking, it should be enough." Luo Lian's voice continued from the other end of the phone. "There's still a week left in the event. It's time to do the event and try to improve the ranking."

"Oh...oh..." Xiaobai nodded blankly, "Oh, I see."

"Okay, I'll hang up now. See you tonight," Luo Lian said.

"See you tonight..." Xiaobai murmured.

"That's it."

Click.

As soon as Xiaobai finished speaking, Luo Lian hung up the phone.

What echoed in Xiaobai's ears was a series of lonely beeping sounds.

Luo Lian rarely hangs up on Xiao Bai's calls; at least in Xiao Bai's memory, it's always Xiao Bai who hangs up first.

Xiao Bai put his phone away, looked at the screen, and felt a pang of emotion.
