Elder brother's garrison

Xiao Bai pressed on Henry's forehead and channeled energy for about ten minutes. When he saw that the time was almost up, he slowly withdrew his hand.

"Admiral, is it ready?" Fubuki asked curiously from the side.

"That's all I can send her." Xiaobai smiled at Fubuki. "Any more and Henry will feel uncomfortable."

“…Oh…okay.” Fubuki blinked. “Then, Admiral, will Henry wake up?”

"Hmm... I don't know if this mental energy is enough. Whether she can wake up depends mainly on how quickly Henry can digest it." Xiaobai muttered softly, pinching her lips. "If it's a ship girl who's very familiar with my aura, she'll digest my mental energy much faster, but I don't know about Henry..."

As Xiaobai was speaking, she suddenly raised an eyebrow slightly.

Under Xiaobai's gaze, Henry, lying on the bed, twitched his eyelashes and frowned slightly.

"Hey?!"

Xiao Bai was surprised.

She digested it so quickly?

Under everyone's gaze, Henry let out a soft moan on the bed and slowly opened his eyes.

A pair of purple eyes shimmered in the sunlight, looking at the three little white figures by the bed with a hint of confusion and drowsiness.

"Wow! You woke up so quickly!" Fubuki exclaimed excitedly, rushing to Henry's side. She quickly grabbed Henry's hand and said, "Henry! Do you remember me? It's me, Fubuki!"

"..." Henry looked at the snow.

"This little girl was quite well-behaved when she first woke up, not as irritable as she seemed last night." Montana gently put his arm around Xiaobai's shoulder, his full body pressed against Xiaobai's back, and looked at Henry lying on the bed through Xiaobai's shoulder, saying with a smile.

"..." Henry's gaze lingered on Montana for a moment, then his focus shifted, and his eyes finally settled on Little White's face.

"Admiral, say hello?" Montana chuckled and nudged Little White with his chest.

"Ah...ah..." Xiaobai felt the great touch behind her, her face flushed, then she scratched her cheek and said to Henry on the bed, "Hen...Henry? Good morning..."

"……Morning……?"

Henry spoke slowly, looking at Xiaobai with a bewildered expression.

Henry turned his head as if sensing something, looking out at the transparent window and the bright, clear, and entirely blue sky.

"……what is that?"

“That was during the day,” Little White said to Henry.

"During the day..." Henry's gaze shifted slightly, then she looked at the blazing sun high in the sky, the intense sunlight causing her to squint. "And what... is that?"

“That’s the sun.” Little White closed his eyes and said to Henry, “Henry, that’s the sun I told you about before.”

"..." Henry.

Henry lay there, and when she heard the word "sun" from Xiaobai, her eyes widened slightly, and it seemed as if points of light were emanating from the depths of her pupils.

After a while.

Henry shook her head in bed, pressed her forehead with one hand, and sat up, supporting herself on the soft bed.

"Henry, would you like some water?" Little White asked quickly.

"Would you like something to eat?" Fubuki asked.

“…Hmm…” Henry nodded, her eyes wide open, staring intently at the little white creature in front of her, as if she wanted to imprint the little white creature’s entire appearance in her heart.

"Henry, what do you want?" Little White asked.

“…Great…” Henry began.

"Great?"

“My lollipops…” Henry stretched out her hands to Little White, murmuring, her eyes shining brighter as she spoke, “My two boxes of lollipops…”

Upon hearing Henry's words, the young girls and ship girls present were all taken aback, and then exchanged glances.

……

Three minutes later.

The room was filled with a crunching sound, like a hamster gnawing on a pine cone.

Henry sat on the big bed in the house, holding two boxes full of energy bars.

Holding an energy bar in each hand, she popped it into her mouth, taking bites from each. Henry's smooth, fair legs and feet were on the outside of her thighs, and her buttocks rose and fell with the movement of her eating the energy bars. Tiny crumbs of the puffed food fell down her wide collar and landed on the sheet in front of her knees.

Henry was completely unaware of her surroundings as she enjoyed her food, a happy smile gradually spreading across her face.

Xiaobai and Fubuki sat to the side watching Henry, while Montana bent down and leaned against Xiaobai's back, resting his head on Xiaobai's shoulder. The three of them stared at Henry and chatted amongst themselves.

"So...Henry has regained all the memories she lost during these time travels?" Montana asked.

"Hmm...she remembers the two boxes of energy bars, so she probably remembers them both." Xiaobai nodded. "And she didn't seem very unfamiliar with us when she looked at us just now..."

"How could this happen?" Montana asked.

“Hmm… I guess Henry’s true form has always been inside the sea monster’s core. The Henry that appeared outside before was probably just a projection of her true form.” Xiaobai said, “Although those projections have the same personality and abilities as Henry, they probably don’t share memories with the original body… Every time Henry was reverted, those memories probably didn’t disappear directly, but were stored… After we defeated the sea monster, the memories on the projection side were released and flowed back into Henry’s true body.”

“I see.” Montana nodded. “As expected of you, Admiral, you speak so eloquently.”

"I was just guessing...who knows if that's really the case?" Xiaobai smiled wryly upon hearing this.

“Whether it’s a guess or not, at least Henry does remember us, right?” Montana said to Little White with a smile. “That’s a good thing.”

"Our time with Henry these past few days has paid off!" Fubuki happily raised her hand.

“Hmm…yes…” Xiaobai nodded, looking at Henry who was frantically flashing his energy bar, and smiled, “Henry has finally seen the sun, that’s good.”

Seemingly sensing Xiaobai's gaze, Henry, who was eating an energy bar, looked up and met Xiaobai's eyes.

Henry stared at Little White, and after a while, she gave Little White a satisfied smile. She leaned forward and held the energy bar in her hand to Little White's mouth.

Little White opened its mouth and bit the energy bar that Henry offered.

Henry happily sat back down, hugging the box, his bare legs wrapped around the edge of it, looking like he couldn't put them down.

Little White chewed and chewed, looking at Henry, then gently covered her mouth and swallowed what was in her mouth.

Ok……

Energy bars are still not very tasty... I'll have to recommend something better to Henry next time.

……

With Henry's awakening, the dark clouds that had hung over the city in Chapter Eight finally dissipated.

After the sea monsters were completely wiped out by the ship girls, and the ocean returned to its former vibrant deep-sea atmosphere after a few days of peace, the Admiral Guild finally posted an announcement about the incident on its official website and forum, informing the admirals of the ins and outs of the event and commending some admirals who performed exceptionally well in this emergency, giving them great rewards.

It's worth mentioning that among the admirals who received awards, Nia stood out for her agile reflexes and the highest number of sea monster slices sunk by her fleet. Her awards and merits far surpassed those of other admirals. She has now entered the top ten admirals, possessing a significant advantage in strength compared to ordinary admirals. That night, many admirals witnessed her Veneto-class ship girl moving freely and heroically amidst fierce gunfire.

Xiaobai was very pleased with Nia's growth.

To use a slightly clichéd phrase, Nia can now be considered a top-tier admiral capable of standing on her own.

Back to the topic.

In the Admirals' Guild's widely publicized post, the guild detailed the identity of the mysterious submarine in the 8-2 sea area—a special entity that appeared due to the excessively strong deep-sea aura in the eighth chapter's sea area. After several days of brewing and growth, it grew into a massive sea monster capable of destroying the chapter's sea area. Fortunately, the admirals reacted quickly and bravely, gathering the strength of the entire city to defeat this enemy, which was truly gratifying and reassuring.

Through the information and investigation data posted by the Admirals' Guild, the Admirals learned about the enemy's data this time, and the previous restriction that fishing was not allowed during night battles was finally lifted.

Of course, the issue of night battles involving sniping fish... actually doesn't make much difference whether it's canceled or not, since admirals these days don't really snipe fish much during night battles anyway.

In conclusion, the city has once again returned to its former peaceful state in Chapter Eight.

After the sea monster sank, the Admiral's Guild spent three busy days wrapping things up, and finally returned to its usual leisurely state on the fourth day.

However, as the price for returning to a leisurely state, Miss Luo Yingying, who had just recovered from her illness, collapsed at work again and was sent to the Admiral's Guild's sanatorium for forced rest. This time, her attending physician insisted that she rest for a full seven days before releasing her.

……

As the trigger and the end of everything, Xiaobai is sitting in the office today, handling today's documents and work.

"Admiral----"

A clear, sweet voice rang out, and a purple figure darted out from behind Xiaobai, hugging Xiaobai tightly, rubbing its cute face against Xiaobai's face repeatedly.

Good morning, Henry.

"Good morning, Admiral!"

Chapter 3649 Deep-Sea Beverage

Henry joining the rookie garrison seems like a natural progression.

After Henry awoke, Xiaobai confessed to her that she had infused her with a large amount of spiritual energy while Henry was asleep, leaving the Admiral's mark. Although Henry showed a high level of acceptance towards Xiaobai, Xiaobai was initially worried. She feared that Henry would be unhappy or upset if she found out that she had taken her without her consent. However, unexpectedly, after learning about her situation, Henry not only did not show any resistance, but became even more attached to Xiaobai than before.

Just like it is now.

After exchanging good morning greetings, Henry snuggled into Little White's arms like a kitten.

She affectionately rubbed her smooth face against Xiaobai's chest and neck, and every now and then she would sniff Xiaobai's body with her little nose, as if there was something fragrant in Xiaobai's arms.

Xiaobai felt a little itchy from Henry's breath. Just as she raised her free hand, Henry took the opportunity to cup it and stroke it with his forehead.

"Admiral, the admiral smells wonderful in the morning."

Henry, with his eyes closed and a smile on his lips, spoke to Little White.

"I just took a normal shower..." Xiaobai smiled sheepishly, pulling her hand away from Henry's head. "Have you had breakfast yet?"

"Mmm! I've eaten! It was delicious!"

Henry nodded immediately, then threw himself into Little White's arms and hugged him again.

What a submarine with no sense of boundaries!

As Xiaobai felt the subtle sensation of Henry's soft body brushing against her, she couldn't help but lower her eyes, a hint of shyness in them.

Speaking of which, Henry's figure... while not as voluptuous as the older battleship ladies, seems to be quite well-developed...

It's quite shapely.

Little White gently put her arm around Henry's shoulder.

However, compared to Henry's physique, what surprised Xiaobai more now was Henry's personality change.

You know, when she first met Henry, he was known for his fiery temper and stubbornness on the sea. He would chase any enemy who dared to attack him to the ends of the earth. His fiery temper was so intense that even his pursuers and Montana praised him for it several times. But she never expected that such a hot-tempered girl would show such a docile and obedient side to her after joining the naval base. She always seemed to want to stay by her side all the time. It's true that people's personalities are hard to fathom.

"You two get along really well, Admiral."

Just then, Iowa's voice came from the other side of the office, tinged with laughter.

Xiao Bai looked up at the sound and immediately saw Iowa sitting in the secretary ship seat not far away, her hands supporting her face, gazing at her with a smile in her eyes.

Iowa's smile carried a hint of teasing and an indescribable emotion, which for some reason made Xiaobai feel a little guilty and blush.

Ok……

correct.

These past few days, because Henry has been sticking to her side all the time, her intimate interactions with Iowa in the office have decreased considerably...

Iowa shouldn't... complain about this, right?

Xiao Bai steals a glance at Io Hua, but can only see Io Hua's almost perfect, flawless smile.

"Okay, okay, Henry, come down."

Xiao Bai patted Henry on the back.

Henry finally jumped off Little White.

Iowa got up from her seat on the secretary ship, went to Little White and Henry, took out a kettle, and poured a cup of hot milk for Henry and Little White.

As Iowa was preparing the milk, she gently brushed her long hair behind her ear, and a fresh fragrance wafted through the air to Xiaobai and Henry. Xiaobai didn't react much, but Henry's nose twitched, and then he looked at Iowa with a curious expression.

“Miss Henry? Is there something on my face?” Iowa noticed Henry’s gaze and asked with a smile.

"It tastes just like the Admiral's..." Henry muttered.

"Ah... Miss Henry, you mean the smell of the shower gel and shampoo, right?" Iowa smiled, tucking a stray hair behind her ear, and finally handed Henry the cup of hot milk. "The admiral and I use the same brand, so it's not surprising that we smell the same."

"..." Henry blinked innocently, took the hot milk, looked down at the steam rising from the cup, and took a small sip. "...Delicious, thank you..."

"How has Miss Henry been recuperating these past few days?" Iowa asked with a smile.

"Hmm...we did a lot of things." Henry nodded, still in the motion of drinking milk, her eyes looking at Iowa. "There are so many delicious things here."

"After all, what we humans have in abundance is entertainment and food," Xiaobai interjected.

Henry gulped down her milk, wiped her milk-stained mouth, and gave Iowa a grateful smile.
