Elder brother's garrison

What was happening behind that door remained unnoticed by anyone.

While enjoying the abundant daily facilities and life in the hall, the ship girls outside would occasionally glance at Shiro's tightly closed office door.

However, the ship girls would only glance at the closed door for a few moments before quickly looking away.

It's not uncommon for Xiaobai's office to be closed.

Even though the ship girls outside the door were a little disappointed that they could no longer sneak peeks at their admiral's cute face anytime, anywhere, they still wouldn't choose to disturb Shiro during working hours out of respect for the admiral.

The office with its doors tightly shut remained closed for approximately two hours.

As noon approached, the tightly closed office door was finally gently pushed open.

Iowa walked out of the office with light and elegant steps, tidying her long hair with both hands as she did so, a satisfied smile on her face.

"Admiral, I'll continue coordinating with Miss Shenying downstairs. As for what I promised you, we'll make it up to you after today's work is finished." Iowa stood in front of the door, her long hair tied into a light brown high ponytail, revealing her slender, swan-like neck. Her voice seemed to carry a teasing tone, as if she were smiling but not laughing. "Admiral, keep up the good work in the future!"

"……oh……"

In Iowa's view, Xiaobai, who was leaning over the desk, raised her hand and waved at Iowa.

The office was a bit warm, and the air was filled with the scent of freshly sprayed fruit perfume.

Iowa stood at the door and gently waved her hand towards the inside before turning and leaving.

Xiao Bai was alone in the office, her head pressed against the desk, steaming and wisps of white smoke rising visibly.

Xiaobai took a long time to recover.

……

Another day passed.

As night approached, it was time for Xiaobai, the Chaser, and Fubuki to set off again for their overtime mission.

Xiaobai piloted the land-based ship equipment, leading the pursuers and Fubuki back to sea area 8-2.

The three of them sailed on the dark sea, which sometimes rumbled and sometimes roared. The pursuer, who was crouching on Xiaobai's land-based ship equipment, held his face in his hands and looked at the waves in front of him. Suddenly, he turned around and asked Xiaobai a question.

"Admiral, I heard from the sisters in the guild today that you seemed to be in a daze in the office all day. Is that true?"

"Huh?" The novice pilot, who was controlling the land-based ship to move forward, trembled. She immediately looked at the pursuer with embarrassment, "Wh-what's wrong..."

"It's nothing... It's just that you must be very tired from working overtime and going on expeditions every day." The pursuer was worried about Xiaobai's health. "If you want to rest, please let us know as soon as possible. Don't let it cause any health problems."

"...Ah...okay, thank you for your concern..."

Xiao Bai scratched his cheek and said awkwardly.

I was in a daze in the office all day... not because of fatigue or anything, but entirely because of what happened between me and Iowa...

Xiao Bai's memory is so good that after doing something too stimulating, she experiences a strong aftereffect and needs a longer time to recover.

But how could Xiaobai possibly tell the pursuers something like this? Besides, Fubuki was right there, so she couldn't say anything at all.

Xiaobai and Fubuki exchanged a few glances, and then, under Fubuki's somewhat puzzled gaze, Xiaobai revealed a slightly embarrassed expression.

"Speaking of which, this is the waterway where we met Henry yesterday," Xiaobai quickly changed the subject, speaking to Fubuki and the pursuers.

"Oh, oh, oh, back to familiar surroundings." The pursuer took the bait immediately, looking around at the sea with an eager expression. "Time to meet little Henry!"

"Admiral, is Henry really going to show up today?" Fubuki asked curiously.

“She will appear.” Xiaobai smiled and turned her gaze to Fubuki. “She has been like this for a while now; it’s her habit.”

"Oh..." Fubuki thought for a moment, "If Henry shows up, she'll probably wait for us here, right?"

"Ok?"

“Because she promised us yesterday that she would come with us,” Fubuki said. “If I were her, I would wait for the Admiral here! We made a promise!”

“Ah… indeed.” Xiaobai nodded. She looked at the turbulent water around her, released her Admiral Network to sense the surroundings, and after a short while, she withdrew the Admiral Network and said to Fubuki with some regret, “However… Fubuki, it seems that Henry hasn’t arrived yet.”

"Hmm, she's not here." Fubuki muttered softly, looking sullen.

"...They might be lost." Xiaobai smiled slightly.

Can submarines get lost?

"Well... maybe they all look pretty much the same underwater?" Xiaobai explained with a smile. "But no matter what, as soon as the pursuers start blasting fish, Henry will definitely come over."

"Henry is like a special summon; we need to bomb her for a while to meet the summoning conditions," the pursuer added from the side, summoning her ship equipment and starting to warm up. "That's how we lured her here the last few times, right? I'm used to it! Here I go!"

After saying this, the pursuer took out two depth charges from his ship's equipment and jumped off Xiaobai's land-based ship equipment.

The sound of blasting fish immediately began to echo across the surrounding sea.

Besides that, there was the pursuer's loud laughter, like a villain's "mehahahaha."

Perhaps because she went back earlier these past two days, giving the pursuers time for some entertainment or a good rest, she was in particularly good shape for frying fish today. She was frying fish at a speed that was almost as fast as when she and Fubuki were frying together yesterday.

Seeing how enthusiastic the pursuers were, Shiro and Fubuki decided to let her enjoy the fried fish all by herself.

In the blink of an eye, the pursuer had almost blown up the entire surface of the sea he was in, and the deep-sea debris floating around him piled up into several small mountains.

"Wow! I feel so refreshed."

After destroying the last detectable deep-sea submarine, the pursuer revealed a relaxed expression. She raised her snow-white arm to wipe the fine sweat from her forehead, grinned at the land-based ship equipment behind her, and gave a thumbs up.

"Admiral! That was the last one!"

"Wow, that's fast frying fish! You've broken the record for the past few days!" Xiaobai clapped his hands, not holding back his praise.

"So-so, it's just that the handling is good." The pursuer asked as he walked towards the land-based ship equipment, "Admiral, all the fish are blown up, have you seen Henry?"

"Henry...she doesn't seem to be here yet...hmm...strange, she should have been here much longer before." Xiaobai's gaze swept across the surrounding water as she muttered to herself. Suddenly, her eyes lit up as she looked towards the horizon in one direction. "It seems a bit late today...ah! Wait a minute, that looks like it over there!"

In Xiaobai's perception, at the horizon, a familiar submarine trail was slowly approaching them from beneath the surface.

As the submarine drew closer, the pursuer finally became aware of Henry's presence. She immediately put one hand on her hip, stood on the water's surface, neither dodging nor running, and watched helplessly as the submarine approached her.

"Henry, you've finally arrived! You suddenly disappeared yesterday, which scared me and our admiral half to death..."

The pursuer spoke to the submarine that had moved beneath him.

However... after the submarine reached the pursuer, it merely circled and hovered on the surface of the sea beneath her feet like a fish, neither surfacing nor revealing itself. As for the pursuer's words, they naturally went unanswered.

"...?" The pursuer frowned, looking at the figure beneath the water with some confusion. "Henry?"

"..." The submarine's trail kept turning.

"Henry? Is that you? It's you..."

"..." The submarine's trail continued to turn.

"Come on up, we have some questions for you..." the pursuer said.

All the pursuers' questions naturally went unanswered.

The pursuer scratched her head, looking at the submarine trail still lingering at her feet. Then, she could only helplessly look away and exchange a glance with Xiaobai on the land-based ship.

"Admiral, what's going on? Why isn't Henry showing up?"

"Um... I don't know either." Xiaobai also looked puzzled. "Didn't anyone detect our presence, Henry?"

“…I think your land-based ship equipment is quite easy to recognize, Admiral,” the pursuer said.

"..." Xiaobai smiled.

Just then, Fubuki suddenly raised her hand and pressed down on Shiro's thigh opening.

"Admiral! Sister Flower Q! Look, Henry is leaving!"

"Huh? What?"

Upon hearing Fubuki's words, the pursuer immediately looked down.

really!

The submarine that had been circling the pursuer seemed to lose interest after a while and was now leaving the pursuer's body, swimming away to other places.

"Hey! We came all the way here to find you, Lin Siqi, and you just swam two laps and left!"

The pursuers immediately called out to Henry.

However, Henry seemed to have completely ignored his pursuers' words and ran far away in the blink of an eye.

The pursuer's eyes widened immediately. She watched Henry run further and further away and instinctively shouted a few times.

"Hey! Hey! Wait a minute, wait a minute! Our admiral came all the way here to see you, you should at least show your face... Hey, I'm going to get angry, I'm really going to get angry!"

As the pursuer spoke, she chased after the direction Henry had gone, and seemed to have finally gotten angry. So, while shouting, she reached into her ship's rigging and took out a depth charge.

Chapter 3633 Seven Captures of Henry

Say a thousand words and ten thousand words.

Xiaobai came to see Henry, not to make friends with her.

Xiao Bai only came forward to find Henry in order to resolve the submarine incident in the 8-2 sea area—this matter is quite serious. If Henry just stays underwater without surfacing or even refuses to communicate with her pursuers, then her pursuers certainly won't let her leave so easily.

So, upon seeing Henry about to slip away, the pursuers pulled out depth charges and symbolically fired one at the path Henry was taking.

Boom!

The underwater surface vibrated.

The pursuers' anti-submarine attack exploded.

The pursuer's anti-submarine attack naturally ended in failure—which is not surprising. Even if the pursuer had launched a serious anti-submarine attack, it would have been unlikely to hit Henry, whose evasion value was as high as 999, so it was even less likely to hit Henry. At this moment, she just threw it casually and symbolically, and the accuracy and power were not on the same level as before.

Although the pursuers' attack missed, its effect was still significant.

That was Henry beneath the water, seemingly still drawn to hatred by the attackers' assault.

The submarine, which had been about to leave, suddenly turned back and, with a ferocious speed different from before, rapidly approached its pursuers.

This young lady still has the same temper as always!

As soon as the pursuer sensed Henry charging aggressively towards her, she immediately and flexibly retracted her ship's equipment and hurriedly ran towards Xiaobai.

"Admiral, help! Help! Help!"

The pursuers sped off, and before Henry could launch his torpedo attack, they quickly jumped onto the land-based ship's rigging.

Just after the pursuer climbed onto the land-based ship's equipment, the submarine's target of hatred shifted from the pursuer to the land-based ship's equipment. The submarine's tracks began circling around the land-based ship's equipment, a scene that seemed all too familiar.

"What's wrong with Henry today...?"

The pursuer squatted on the edge of the land-based ship's rigging, watching the submarine's tracks underwater, and muttered something.

"Hmm...it's a bit strange...she doesn't seem as affectionate as she was when she left with us yesterday." Xiaobai nodded, gently resting her chin on her index finger as she looked at the water. "And...I clearly made her promise yesterday, even if she was attacked, she wouldn't attack ship girls anymore, even if she was attacked by others, but she still broke her promise today."

“Oh…it seems she didn’t take the admiral’s words seriously!” the pursuer said immediately.

“…Ah…that is indeed quite troublesome.” Xiaobai smiled wryly upon hearing this. “But anyway, let’s invite Henry up first.”

"How do we invite her up? She won't show herself."

"Well... things have come to this point, so we can only resort to the old methods." Xiaobai sighed, looking at the submarine that was aggressively circling around the land-based ship equipment, trying to find the angle to attack it, and said softly, "Although I am more inclined to peaceful negotiations... things have developed to this point, so we really have to increase the intensity."

"The intensity the Admiral mentioned, could it be..."

As the pursuer spoke, she exchanged a glance with Xiaobai, and then the two of them looked at Fubuki at the same time.

The old way...

Since the submarine is unwilling to come up, the only option is to "bomb" her up.

Shiro pulled Fubuki to the edge of the land-based ship equipment, then cheered on the pursuers, watching as Fubuki took out her ship equipment and repeatedly aimed at the submarine's tracks underwater before launching her anti-submarine attack.

If the blizzard can bring Henry up once, it can certainly bring him up twice.

Half an hour has passed.

Amid a familiar roar, the sea surface churned violently.

After launching thirty or forty anti-submarine attacks, Fubuki finally caught Henry's fleeting dodge animation and detonated a depth charge next to her.

"Oh! I finally hit the target!"

Once the land-based ship was installed, the pursuers immediately cheered.

The three people on the land-based ship looked towards the sea and saw bubbles rising to the surface. Soon, a familiar figure in a dark purple latex suit, with bare buttocks and thighs, floated up from the water not far away.

The process was the same as yesterday: the pursuers jumped off the land-based ship and carried the floating Henry back onto the land-based ship.

With a thud, Henry, soaking wet, was thrown onto the floor in front of Little White by his pursuers.
