Elder brother's garrison

"Well, I'm back."

"Should I, Chaoda, and the others go see you off?"

"No need, we can just go back normally." Luo Lian sent a message, declining Xiao Bai's suggestion. "I just got the second place in the world rankings, and I'm attracting a lot of attention right now. When I went out today, I saw people from the Admiral's Newspaper squatting at the door. If you use the super Yamato's teleportation ability to send me back, your teleportation network will probably be exposed to the public, which is not good."

"Oh... okay then." Xiaobai thought Luo Lian's analysis made sense, so she could only regretfully send an OK gesture. "Lianlian, have a safe trip."

There was no reply from Luo Lian.

Xiao Bai stared at the phone screen for a while, and seeing no response, put the phone down.

Xiaobai reached out and touched Akagi's rosy lips.

Just then, Xiaobai's phone started ringing.

Xiao Bai stopped and looked down at her phone again.

“( ? ??? )?”

Luo Lian sent Xiao Bai a meaningless emoticon, ending the conversation.

"Lianlian is so serious in her daily life, but the emojis and emoticons she posts online are actually quite cute." Xiaobai murmured, turned off her phone, then lifted the bed sheet and snuggled into Shenhai Chicheng's arms.

I woke up a little early today.

Before going to work at the Admiral's Guild, I still have time to enjoy life.

……

About an hour later, at eight o'clock in the morning, Shiro and Akagi from the Deep Sea appeared together in the temporary naval base's canteen.

"Good morning, Admiral Lu Lin!"

"Admiral Lu Lin! Good morning!"

The ship girls in the cafeteria, carrying their breakfasts, greeted Shiro and Akagi, who were seen together intimately.

"Did Admiral Lu Lin have breakfast with Sister Akagi today?"

"So sweet together!"

The ship girls were joking.

Xiaobai blushed slightly at the ship girls' jokes, but kept smiling and didn't say anything more, just nodded to them.

The fact that Akagi became Shiro's marriage ship was no secret within the temporary naval base.

After all, everyone could see the dazzling ring on Akagi's hand.

The ship girls' teasing sounds were more like a compliment and congratulation to Akagi herself. She just smiled faintly and moved closer to Shiro.

"My lord, look, the people over here are all blessing us." Deep Sea Akagi whispered in Shiro's ear, his face full of a half-smile.

Xiaobai's face turned slightly red from the breath of Akagi Akagi.

Xiaobai and Shenhai Chicheng quickly found Nia sitting alone in an empty seat. There was breakfast for two or three people in front of her. She was looking around like a primary school student waiting for class, with her hands on her thighs.

The moment Nia saw Shiro and Akagi, a smile appeared on her face, and she waved happily.

"Little White! Over here!"

Xiaobai and Shenhai Chicheng went up.

Nia quickly gestured to the seats opposite her, and Shiro and Akagi followed Nia's gaze and sat down opposite her.

"Good morning, Nia," Little White greeted. "Have you been waiting long?"

"Mmm, good morning. It'll be a while soon. I didn't feel like eating anything when I first woke up, so I'll just rest for a bit." Nia nodded, then looked at Akagi beside her and said with a smile, "Miss Akagi, good morning to you too!"

"Admiral Nia, I apologize for disturbing you." Akagi Akagi smiled politely.

"No bothering you, no bothering you. I've made several breakfasts, take a look and see if they suit your taste." Nia pushed a lightly flavored breakfast toward Akagi.

This breakfast consists of white rice, miso soup, pan-fried fish, and pickled vegetables.

Akagi Shinkai accepted the breakfast and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Admiral Nia. It suits my taste perfectly."

"I'm glad you like it." Nia smiled with relief. Her gaze unconsciously drifted to Akagi, who was holding chopsticks, and lingered on the ring on her ring finger for a moment. A hint of longing and envy flashed in her eyes.

Although Akagi often acts a bit wild in front of Shiro, she still maintains a refined and proper demeanor in public.

Watching Akagi from the Deep Sea pick up her rice bowl with one hand, and with the chopsticks in the other hand, she carefully picked up small bites of rice and fish. Her rosy lips parted slightly and closed, her eyes were calm and lowered, maintaining a regular and steady eating posture, as exquisite as an anime CG, quiet and serene.

She's so beautiful...

With an alluring face, elegant figure, snow-white skin, and a graceful demeanor, plus she always smelled wonderful, it's no wonder Xiaobai liked her...

Nia thought to herself.

Nia gazed longingly at Akagi in the deep sea for a while, then suddenly snapped back to reality and realized that Shiro was also looking at her.

Nia blushed and smiled shyly at Xiaobai.

"Nia, do you also like girls with a look like Deep Sea Akagi?" Xiaobai asked.

"Huh? No, no, no..." Nia quickly waved her hands, "No, no, no."

"Then you've been staring at Akagi the whole time..." Xiaobai asked curiously.

"Ah... well..." Nia put down her sandwich, scratched her cheek with her shiny nails, and smiled awkwardly. She couldn't very well say that she was observing what the girls Xiaobai liked looked like, so she changed her words and said, "Xiaobai, I'm going to war today."

“Oh… after all, the naval base still needs to operate.” Xiaobai nodded and said with a smile, “Perfect, I also have to go to work at the Admiral’s Guild today, so we both get off work around the same time.”

"Hehe." Nia felt a little happy for some reason.

After having breakfast, Nia said goodbye to Xiaobai and left the cafeteria.

After having breakfast at the temporary naval base, Xiaobai picked up her empty briefcase, left the base, and headed to the Admiral's Guild.

The Admiral's Guild was sparsely populated in the early morning.

At the entrance of the Admiral's Guild, the attendant ship girls were surprised to see Xiaobai walking over alone.

"Huh? The president?!"

"Good morning." Xiaobai smiled at the ship girls who were looking at her with surprise, carrying her briefcase.

"You...you're here to work?" The ship girls looked at Xiaobai in surprise. They opened their mouths and stared blankly for a moment before asking.

"What are you talking about? If I don't come to work, what else can I do?" Xiaobai smiled bitterly.

"Ah, yes, that's right." The attendant ship girls realized what they had said and smiled sheepishly. "President, we're a little surprised to see you arrive at work so punctually..."

“…I will come to work on time from now on,” Xiaobai replied.

It seems I've been slacking off in the guild too much lately; everyone in the Admiral's Guild, from top to bottom, thinks I'm the kind of guild leader who doesn't do anything productive...

Xiao Bai is suffering in his heart, but he can't express his bitterness.

Actually, Xiaobai felt that she was quite serious. At least during Chapter 8, she would handle the Admiral Guild's work thoroughly every day. However, after finishing her work, she would get so bored that she would usually leave the guild early instead of staying there.

Chapter 3503 The Beginner's Town Hall DLC Dungeon

On Xiaobai's side, she felt that leaving work early after a long day to spend time with the ship girls wasn't a big problem, since she used to do the same thing when she was in the naval base.

As long as it doesn't interfere with work...

But Xiaobai is Xiaobai, and everyone else is everyone else.

The others didn't know that Xiaobai actually completed her work every day; they might not even know that Xiaobai only needed one or two hours a day to handle her heavy workload.

—Luo Yingying should know.

—But this matter involves the guild leader's personal privacy, so Luo Yingying will most likely not say anything.

Xiao Bai was severely misunderstood.

Recently, when Xiaobai was browsing the Admiral Forum, she saw some posts discussing whether she was a competent or not as the leader of her Admiral Guild. Although these posts were usually deleted by the forum administrators immediately, she could still occasionally see the discussions about herself.

As for this content...

Xiao Bai can only say that she was somewhat wronged.

Xiaobai didn't know what to say about this, so she could only smile helplessly, pick up her briefcase, and walk into the guild under the watchful eyes of the ship girls.

When Xiaobai entered the Admiral's Guild Hall, he happened to see Luo Yingying standing in front of him, carrying a stack of documents.

Xiao Bai stopped and waved to Luo Yingying when she saw her.

“Miss Yingying.”

"Huh?!" Luo Yingying shuddered, almost dropping the documents in her arms. After finally managing to steady them, she looked at Xiaobai with a horrified expression. "President Lu...President Lu Lin? You're here so early??"

"..." Xiaobai was silent for a while, "Miss Yingying, I will come at this time every time from now on."

"Ah, oh, I see..." After a series of expressions flashing across Luo Yingying's face—shock, bewilderment, confusion, and incomprehension—her expression suddenly turned very gloomy. "Good...good, if you, President, are at work on time every day, you can...you can set a good example for others...it's all good..."

Xiaobai wasn't sure if she had misheard something, but she felt that Luo Yingying's words conveyed a sense of wanting to cry but being unable to.

"Then I'll go to my office first," Xiaobai said to Luo Yingying.

"Okay, okay..." Luo Yingying nodded subconsciously. She looked at Xiaobai's back and suddenly seemed to remember something, calling out, "Ah, President!"

"What's wrong?" Xiaobai stopped and turned to look at Luo Yingying.

"President, the vending machine you ordered yesterday has arrived." Luo Yingying said to Xiaobai. "As you said, it's half black coffee and half latte... Um, since no one but you can enter the top-floor office lobby right now, I'll arrange for someone to come and install it for you in two hours... Is that alright?"

"Okay, then let's do it this way." Xiaobai nodded and gave Luo Yingying a thumbs up.

Luo Ying let out a soft sigh, clutching her chest, and gave Xiaobai a forced smile.

Xiao Bai then picked up his briefcase and stepped into the elevator leading to the top floor.

Watching Xiaobai's figure disappear into the elevator, Luo Yingying finally put down her hand, feeling relieved, and sighed with relief.

"Ugh...that scared me to death."

Luo Yingying murmured to herself.

But soon, Luo Yingying had some doubts.

"Eh... but... why didn't President Lu Lin bring any ship girls with her today... didn't she usually bring at least some ship girls with her when she went out?"

Luo Yingying was puzzled and confused, but she quickly realized that she shouldn't delve into issues that were outside her job duties. So she quickly patted her face, bent down to pick up the documents on the ground, and hurried away.

After the elevator doors closed, Xiaobai stood alone in the elevator space and took out her exclusive president's access card.

Xiao Bai swiped his card in the elevator's card slot, and the elevator automatically ascended to the top floor.

Upon reaching the top floor, the elevator doors hissed open.

The moment the elevator doors opened, a burst of birdsong and the fragrance of flowers drifted into the elevator through the gap.

Before Xiaobai's eyes appeared many destroyer ship girls running back and forth.

"Wow, this place is huge! It's so big!"

"This is the most beautiful house I've ever seen; it even has an indoor garden!"

"The pastries in the pastry section are all so delicious!"

"Look, Sister Fubuki, there's a fountain over here!"

Little White smiled as she watched the blue figures chase each other from one end of the room to the other.

Xiaobai stepped out of the elevator.

"Yes, Admiral, you've arrived."

A familiar voice rang out from next to the elevator entrance.

Xiao Bai turned his head and saw Iowa sitting in what looked like a ticket collector's seat, smiling at him.

Good morning, Iowa.

"Good morning, Admiral. So, are you going to work, rest, or..." Iowa tapped her lips, a mischievous smile on her face, "...go on a date with me?"

"Let's get to work today," Xiaobai said with a smile.

“Understood. I will escort the Admiral to his office then.” Iowa stood up and smiled as she took the briefcase from Xiaobai’s hand.

Iowa looked somewhat surprised as soon as he got his hands on the briefcase.

"Admiral, this briefcase is empty."

"Yes, I brought it to work so I would look more reliable," Xiaobai replied.
