Elder brother's garrison

Page 2746

Outside the modification workshop, the guard ship girls all showed surprised expressions when they saw Alaska and Guam appear.

"Huh? Alaska, Guam, weren't you just going back to continue working on your ship equipment...?"

The ship girls looked at the two ship girls, and just as they were about to speak, they were surprised to find that Guam and Alaska, which had just left the modification workshop, seemed to be radiating a faint light, making them exceptionally dazzling.

This radiant aura is usually only seen on ship girls who have completed their modifications...

The ship girls were astonished.

"Wait a minute, Guam, Alaska, your modifications wouldn't be..."

"Haha, thank you all so much for your concern! Our modification is now successfully completed!" Alaska said to the ship girls, while gently pulling Shiro into her arms. She wrapped her arms around Shiro's cheek without any hesitation, leaning slightly towards Shiro so that Shiro's face was firmly pressed against her full, soft chest. "Thanks for the Admiral's help. Now Guam and I won't have to lie in that tiny hibernation pod for ten days or half a month!"

"Ugh! Mm! Hmm..."

Little White struggled in Alaskan's arms for a moment, but couldn't resist the overwhelming temptation and gradually became still in her embrace.

"So it was the Admiral who helped... No wonder."

The guard ship girls nodded subconsciously as they listened to Alaska's words.

Often, things that the ship girls can't understand become clear once they're connected to the admiral.

After all, their own admiral does have a lot of strange and unusual methods...

Just speeding up the modification of one's own ship girls... for an all-powerful admiral, it doesn't seem like such a difficult thing to do.

The ship girls looked at Shiro, who was nestled in Alaska's arms, completely absorbed in her embrace, and their gazes gradually turned helpless.

When they learned that Guam and Alaska were going to the training ground to test their new ship equipment, the guardian ship girls volunteered to be their training partners.

Of course, the more practice partners the better, and Shiro and Yubari naturally wouldn't refuse.

Xiaobai and his group left the modification factory and soon arrived at the ship girl training ground in the newbie naval base.

The training ground was bustling with activity today.

From a distance, hundreds of ship girls could be seen darting back and forth across the wide expanse of water, the entire area filled with the resounding sounds of ship equipment cleaving through the water and cannonballs flying through the sky.

After arriving at a temporarily unused free training ground, Guam and Alaska began inspecting their ship equipment on the shore. At this time, the guard ship girls also gathered around, asking Xiaobai and Yubari about what had happened in the modification workshop, as if they were gossiping.

The ship girls were still very curious and interested in how Shiro had managed to instantly complete the modifications to Guam and Alaska.

In response to the ship girls' curiosity, Yubari crossed her arms and gave Shiro a look that seemed to say, "Admiral, are you going to tell us or should I?"

Xiao Bai smiled wryly and retreated repeatedly.

"Alright, alright, I'll make it short. Actually, the admiral herself..." Yubari smiled at Shiro, then turned to the ship girls and began to explain.

As the guard ship girls listened to Yubari's words, they would occasionally let out an "Oh—" sound, followed by a series of silvery laughs.

Xiaobai could feel the guarding ship girls occasionally casting smiling glances at her.

This gaze made Xiaobai feel uneasy. She scratched her cheek and quickly turned her gaze to the sea.

Don't say it.

When Xiaobai looked out over the sea, he spotted a familiar figure.

On the sea, Montana, dressed in a high-tech suit, strolled casually across the battlefield of the ship girls, observing their battles from time to time with a satisfied expression and nodding repeatedly.

Is Montana... taking a walk?

Xiaobai stared at Montana in the distance for a while, then blinked.

In the blink of an eye, a pink figure flashed past in the corner of Xiaobai's eye.

Ok?

Xiao Bai subconsciously looked towards the pink figure.

Not far from Montana, a slender, pink-haired ship girl with a black top hat and her hands behind her back was seen hopping and skipping leisurely amidst the gunfire.

The surrounding ship girls seemed completely unaware of this ship girl.

During their battle, the bombfish's artillery fire relentlessly targeted the pink-haired ship girl. The pink-haired ship girl seemed to have long been accustomed to this situation. She hummed a little tune, and with a light dodge, she nimbly dodged all the attacks behind her.

"……"noob.

For a fleeting moment, a feeling like a flower blooming appeared in Xiaobai's mind, and a flood of memories came to mind.

Xiao Bai suddenly widened his eyes.

Xiaobai touched her neck with a snap, looking at the pink figure on the sea, her mouth slightly open.

Jean Bart...

Hey……

Jeanbart!?

Wait……

Did I mention the matter of infusing spiritual energy to Yubari before?

Chapter 3865 Forgotten

Xiaobai felt a buzzing in her head for a moment, and then, one memory after another related to Jean Bart surfaced in her mind like shards of ice.

Xiaobai stared at Jeanbart on the training field, she put one hand to her forehead and swayed twice in place.

"Hmm? Admiral, are you feeling unwell?" Changchun noticed Xiaobai's movements and, seeing his wavering appearance, immediately asked with concern.

"Huh? What's wrong? What's wrong, Admiral?" Jinan didn't notice Xiaobai's actions, but as soon as she heard Changchun's words, she immediately came over and stared at Xiaobai with her big eyes, asking her what was wrong.

As the voices of Changchun and Jinan rang out, the surrounding guard ship girls and Yubari all turned to look at Shiro.

For a time, Shiro became the center of attention for all the ship girls.

"Ah..." Xiaobai slowly lowered her hand, her gaze sweeping strangely over the ship girls present, especially staring at Yuubara for a while before shaking her head and speaking with an odd expression, "No... I'm fine..."

The ship girls present were relieved to hear that Xiaobai said she was alright.

"Hey, I knew it! The admiral has ship equipment now, he's in great shape!"

The ship girls joked with each other and quickly returned to their previous chatting and laughing.

However, among the ship girls, only Yubari looked at Shiro with some confusion.

Although Shiro just said she was fine, Yubari inexplicably felt that there was a strange sense of unease in the way Shiro looked at her just now... It was as if she was looking at a traveler who was in a fog but did not know it, which was very strange.

"Admiral, is there something you want to say to me?" Yubari couldn't help but ask.

"Uh...no, no..." Xiaobai was taken aback, and she immediately shook her head awkwardly.

"Really not?" Yubari was unsure and wanted to ask again.

"Uh... not for now... not for now..." Xiaobai hesitated.

“…Alright.” Seeing Shiro’s expression, Yubari didn’t press him any further. Instead, she shrugged and focused her attention back on the notebook in her hands.

Rather than worrying about the admiral's petty thoughts, Yubari currently prefers to focus her attention on the more important matter of testing the ship equipment performance of Guam and Alaska.

Seeing that Yubari had given up on asking her questions, Shiro breathed a small sigh of relief and quickly looked away from Yubari.

Xiaobai gazed at the Guam and Alaska ships, which were preparing their ship equipment not far from the beach, then patted her chest with lingering fear and quietly lowered her eyes...

Oh my god...

It's best not to tell Yubari about this for now...

Just now, when Xiaobai saw Jean Bart in the training ground of the newbie garrison, Xiaobai remembered many things.

—For a novice, the act of “remembering” is truly a rare and precious experience.

Jeanbart... Jeanbart...

Xiao Bai only realized now that he had been unknowingly affected by Jean Bart's passive ability and had forgotten some things related to Jean Bart from before.

Take, for example, the matter of imbuing missile ships with spiritual energy.

It was only now that Shiro "remembered" that he had already confessed this to Yubari not long ago.

The reason why Shiro felt a sense of familiarity when Yubari bit his neck was because Yubari, after learning about this incident, had bitten his neck in the same way as today to vent her anger... The reason why Shiro and Yubari "forgot" this incident was because it happened during the modification of Jean Bart's ship equipment, and Jean Bart's passive ability was to make others ignore her and forget her. Therefore, for those who forgot her existence, all memories of her in their minds would be "overwritten" and "hidden".

Thinking of this, Xiao Bai tapped his forehead with his finger, somewhat troubled.

So... I've caused Yubari trouble twice by falling into the same trap?

Oh dear... Yubari mustn't know about this for now... If she finds out, she'll probably bite her own neck a few more times...

Uh...that's not right.

Is now the time to be conflicted about this?

Little White raised its eyes and looked at the pink figure leaping on the sea.

Jean Bart's "forgetting" ability was ineffective against me before... so why is it working on me today?

Xiaobai was very confused. She stared at Jean Bart's figure on the sea and recalled something about her.

Fortunately, although Xiaobai was affected by Jean Bart's passive ability at some point and temporarily forgot some things about her, Jean Bart's ability did not seem to have a complete effect on her... At least Xiaobai could still easily catch Jean Bart with her naked eye, and those "fish that slipped through the net" and hidden memories would return to Xiaobai's mind the moment she noticed Jean Bart.

Little White stared at Jean Bart's figure, trying to shift her gaze away from him, then slowly turned it back to the water's surface, searching for her again.

Perhaps because Xiaobai suddenly became alert, after she looked away from Jean Bart this time, she never had any further thoughts about Jean Bart being hidden.

So... is this related to Jean Bart's transformation?

Some time ago, Jean Bart's sister Richelieu approached Xiaobai and subtly mentioned that Jean Bart's passive ability seemed to be increasing after the modification... For example, Richelieu used to be immune to Jean Bart's passive ability by receiving Xiaobai's mental power once a month, but recently she discovered that after receiving Xiaobai's mental power for three weeks, she began to be gradually affected by Jean Bart's passive ability.

Could it be that... Jean Baal's passive ability is still getting stronger?

Thinking of this, Xiaobai couldn't help but furrow her brows.

This is not good news...

It's important to understand that if even Xiaobai herself was affected by Jean Bart, even if only slightly, it means that the mental strength threshold required to be completely immune to Jean Bart's passive ability has risen to an extremely terrifying level... At least at this extremely high threshold, Xiaobai can no longer use the method of distributing mental strength to the ship girls to make them remember Jean Bart.

Changchun.

Xiao Bai suddenly turned his head and called out to Changchun, who was not far away.

"Hmm? Admiral, did you call me?" Changchun was chatting with Baltimore when she heard Xiaobai's call. She immediately smiled and nodded towards Baltimore, then jogged over.

Xiaobai reached out and grabbed Changchun's wrist, pulling her in front of him.

Xiaobai and Changchun instantly stuck together.

"Eh? Admiral?" Changchun exclaimed in surprise. She hadn't expected Xiaobai to suddenly make such an intimate gesture in front of others, so she looked shyly at the ship girls behind her who were staring at her. "W-what's wrong...?"

"Changchun, look over there." Xiaobai pulled Changchun's hand and pointed to Jean Bart on the water in the training field. "Do you see who that is?"

"Hmm?" Changchun looked in the direction Xiaobai was pointing, staring at the water for a while. "...Is that... Sister Jeanbart? Admiral, what happened to Sister Jeanbart?"

Changchun stared at Jeanbart for a while, then looked at Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai opened his mouth in surprise.

"Changchun, can you see it?"

"Huh? I... I shouldn't have seen it?" Changchun covered her mouth, asking in surprise.

"Uh...not really..." Xiaobai shook her head, then said, "Changchun, thank you...I'm fine now."

"Oh... then Admiral, shall I go back?" Changchun pointed to the crowd behind him.

Xiao Bai nodded silently, then watched Changchun return to the crowd.

Changchun, upon returning to the crowd, was immediately surrounded by the whistling of a group of ship girls.

The ship girls swarmed around her, laughing and asking what sweet nothings Changchun had just exchanged with Xiaobai. Changchun blushed instantly, repeatedly denying it, and waving her hands at everyone...

From time to time, knowing laughter could be heard from the ship girls' side.

As Xiaobai listened to the ship girls' conversation, she coughed twice to regain her focus.

Although Changchun had been accompanying Anshan for the past week and hadn't had a chance to return to her dormitory, thus missing the opportunity to receive Xiaobai's spiritual energy transmission, as Xiaobai's marriage vessel, the two must have exchanged spiritual energy before. Therefore, a portion of Xiaobai's spiritual energy still remained within Changchun's body.

With this part of his spiritual power, Changchun was still able to recognize Jean Bart.

From this perspective, at least, Jean Bart's passive ability has not grown to the point where only the Little White can be exempted from it. The Little White's method of capturing Jean Bart by sharing mental energy is still effective.

This is a good thing.

Thinking of this, Xiaobai felt much more at ease, and she took another look at Yubari in the crowd.

Yubari certainly can no longer recognize Jean Bart.
