Elder brother's garrison

"Kiart, you traitor to the destroyer, stop right there!!!"

Frank Knox shouted in shame and anger.

Kiat and Frank then chased each other around the factory, one running away and the other chasing.

During this time, Kiat's laughter and Frank's furious and indignant cries rose and fell.

Seeing this, before Xiaobai could even call out to them, Jilin had already covered her mouth and leaned close to Xiaobai.

"Wow... to be able to easily provoke Frank's anger with just a few words, she really is Kiat..." Gearin looked at Kiat, who was being chased by Frank, with kind and envious eyes. She turned to Little White and said, "Admiral! Kiat's transformation is amazing! She's a completely different person!"

"Yes, that's what I think too." Xiaobai smiled at Kirin and gently patted his head. "Kirin, you recognized Kiat just now, right?"

"Huh? Well...no, not really..." Kirin paused, then lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly. "I...I just thought...that chestnut-brown short hair looked a lot like Kiat's hair, that's all..."

“Hmm…that makes sense. Actually, if you observe closely, Kiat has just grown up all at once; she hasn’t had a complete makeover like Guam or Alaska.” Xiaobai crossed his arms and watched Kiat being chased around, whispering to Gearing, “Her facial features are still quite distinct. Given how familiar you are with Kiat, recognizing the grown-up Kiat shouldn’t be a problem…”

"Ah... well..." Kirin scratched his head sheepishly.

“Because those silly older sisters never even considered what Kiat would look like when he grew up.” Bauer sighed from the side, then said, “Sometimes the closer the relationship, the more like this happens. You can’t deceive your subconscious, Admiral.”

“What you said makes a lot of sense,” Xiaobai smiled at Bauer. “So, you knew from the beginning that she was Kiat?”

Bauer shook her head, looked at Little White for a while, and then spoke.

"Kiart underwent missile modification. Because Sister Changchun also underwent similar modifications before becoming what she is now, I was mentally prepared."

"Ah...as expected of Bauer, so smart." Little White smiled at Bauer after hearing his words.

“I’m not smart. The smartest one among us is my sister Frank Knox. I can never beat her at chess.” Bauer shook his head. “I’m just a little more mature than those silly sisters.”

"Your little sister is quite nice," Xiaobai said to Jilin with a smile after listening to Bauer's speech.

"Hehehe..." Kirin scratched his head and laughed sheepishly.

The chase between Kiat and Franknox continued, and seeing how much fun the two were having, Xiaobai didn't choose to disturb them.

Chicago has returned to Baltimore's side.

Baltimore hadn't seen Chicago for the past few days, so she quickly stood up to have Chicago examine her. After measuring that Chicago's renovations hadn't caused any changes in her body, Baltimore muttered a few words of regret.

"There really hasn't changed at all... Even Garibaldi's height was visibly increased."

"What, Baltimore, would you like me to change something?" Chicago asked, raising her arms and waving them in the air.

“Well, I do wish you could be a little more like a girl,” Baltimore sighed. “Right now, you’re like a little hoodlum in the naval base.”

“No way, things have changed.” Chicago patted the short skirt on her thigh. “Look, Baltimore, how feminine you look! I’m even wearing a skirt.”

"I'm not really in a position to comment on this..."

Baltimore lifted Chicago's short skirt, revealing a thick layer of black boxer shorts underneath, and didn't know what to say.

On the other side, Garibaldi also returned gracefully to Pompeii and Zara, standing cautiously in front of them as her family checked her over.

Pompey and Zara stroked their chins, scrutinizing Garibaldi's current appearance.

"Yes, it's too high."

"It's too high."

Have you gained weight?

"I don't seem to have gained weight."

"Your skin has become fairer."

"It seems a bit."

"You've become more composed."

"Not bad."

"This renovation was very worthwhile."

Pompeii and Zara patted Garibaldi on the shoulder and nodded repeatedly at him. Their gentle, elder-like gazes made Garibaldi feel embarrassed, so he started playing with his fingers, lowered his head, and couldn't help but blush.

Chapter 3886 is Changchun

"Lord Pompeii, Sister Zara, thank you..."

Garibaldi felt very honored to speak to the two ship girls who seemed like elders.

"Haha, why are you thanking Zara and me? We weren't in charge of your transformation." Pompeii just laughed. "It's more like because we can keep you company, Zara and I can have a good rest at the factory for a few weeks. We've had a blast these past few days."

“We should thank the Admiral and Dr. Yubari,” Zara said to Garibaldi.

Garibaldi nodded repeatedly, but the affection in her eyes for Zara and Pompeii did not diminish in the slightest.

……

The roles of modifying ship girls and caring for ship girls are inherently about providing each other with emotional value.

In fact, judging from the success rate and smoothness of ship girl remodeling, ship girls do not need special care or assistance during the remodeling process. However, ship girls... have always had high requirements for emotional value and spiritual needs. Even the most indestructible ship girls, when they complete a major life event, finish their remodeling, leave the remodeling factory, or return to the naval base, will hope that familiar friends can greet them, talk to them, chat with them, and share their joy.

And the ship girls who act as their family, friends, and elders are the ones who respond to this expectation.

Little White looked at Chicago, Garibaldi, and Kiat, all of whom were sharing their joy in their own ways, and couldn't help but nod.

well.

That's fine.

Xiao Bai nodded, and then saw Changchun and Jinan looking left and right as they approached him.

"Admiral, Miss Garibaldi, Kit, and Sister Chicago's transformations are all finished... So where is Sister Anshan now?" Changchun covered her mouth, looking curiously at the empty space behind Xiaobai, her eyes innocent and curious. "Sister Anshan wouldn't have changed too, and is she hiding to give me a surprise?"

"Hmm, we don't want Sister Anshan to look different." Jinan pouted and said to Xiaobai, "Her original face was very beautiful. It would be so much better if she had the same face as Sister Changchun. That's what real sisters are like."

"Ah... well..." Xiaobai looked at Jinan and couldn't help but smile. She reached out and ruffled Jinan's fluffy pink fox-ear hair. "Anshan... well, she hasn't finished her transformation yet."

"Huh? Haven't all the others finished their modifications?" Changchun asked curiously.

“The renovation of Anshan is the most complex and significant of this batch, so it will take the longest to complete.” Xiaobai rubbed Jinan’s head and said to Changchun, “Well, before I came out, Yubari told me that the renovation of Anshan would probably take several more hours.”

"Oh...that puts my mind at ease." Changchun patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief. "So, I'll be able to see Sister Anshan in a few hours, right?"

"That's how it should be," Xiaobai nodded.

"So, has Sister Anshan changed at all?" Jinan asked Xiaobai, holding her hand.

"Guess!" Xiaobai smiled at Jinan.

"Ah! Admiral! You're keeping us in suspense!!!" Jinan's eyes widened immediately, and he shouted, "Despicable!"

"You'll see her when she comes out," Xiaobai said softly to Jinan. "Don't worry, the result won't disappoint you."

"Hmm... After all that talk, you still haven't said whether things have changed or not..." Jinan covered her head and dodged Xiaobai's hand. "Then until I see Sister Anshan, you're not allowed to touch my hair, Admiral!"

"..." Xiaobai smiled, put her hand down, and nodded in agreement.

When ship girls get together, they always have endless things to talk about and inexhaustible energy.

The chase between Kiat and Frank lasted for more than an hour without ending, with the two of them leaping and bounding around the factory like two shadows.

The rest of the ship girls sat around the sofa, chatting about what had happened during their time accompanying the ship girls or undergoing modifications at the modification workshop. Before they knew it, two or three hours had passed.

At this point, it was almost time for the agreed-upon completion of the Anshan renovation project with Yubari.

Xiao Bai got up between Changchun and Jinan, smiled at the modified ship girls and the accompanying ship girls, indicating that they didn't need to worry about her and that everyone should continue chatting. After saying goodbye to everyone, she returned to the modification workshop alone.

Xiao Bai returned to the modification workshop and made his way to the ship equipment hall.

Inside the ship's equipment hall, electric lights continued to flash incessantly as the missile ship equipment of Anshan was being repeatedly modified, reassembled, and disassembled by Yubari.

"Hmm?" Xiaobai blinked when she saw this, and couldn't help but show a puzzled look.

Although Xiaobai didn't know much about ship equipment modification, she had at least witnessed several modifications of Yubari and knew what a ship equipment would look like when it was close to completion.

However, at this time, the missile ship equipment of Yubari and Anshan was not yet nearing completion of its modification.

Didn't Yubari say he could finish the renovation in three or four hours?

Judging from her attitude, it seems the renovation is far from complete...

Xiaobai muttered to himself, and subconsciously took a step forward, approaching Yubari on the other side of the modification platform.

Just as Shiro approached, Yubari, who was focused on modifying the device, noticed Shiro's presence and immediately turned her head to look at Shiro.

As Yubari turned her head, the several huge mechanical arms she controlled also swished their heads out and looked at Shiro.

"Oops!" Shiro quickly raised her hands, looking like she'd been caught doing something wrong, gave Yubari an awkward smile, and then started to back away. "No, I'm sorry, I... I shouldn't have gotten so close, right? I'll back away right away..."

"..."

Yubari looked at Shiro, blinked, and then glanced up at the time displayed on the screen of the modification platform.

“…Hey, Admiral, wait a minute.” Yubari called out to Shiro.

"I'm here!" Xiaobai quickly stopped and kept her hand raised.

"..." Yubari looked at Shiro's cautious appearance with a helpless expression. She smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous, Admiral. Putting others aside, you are my admiral. It won't matter if you get a little closer."

"I was just afraid I'd break the equipment again..." Xiaobai reluctantly put his hand down.

“That is indeed a problem, but as long as you control your mental energy, Admiral, it shouldn't get too bad.” Yubari deactivated the sensor buttons on the modification platform, temporarily halting the ship's equipment modifications. She then stepped off the platform, approached Shiro, and looked around. “Hmm? Where is everyone else?”

"Ah, they just said they'd been here too long, so I took them out to meet the escort ship girls outside."

“Hmm…that’s good.” Yubari nodded. “I was actually a little worried that they might damage the equipment while they were here…especially Kiat.”

"She's matured a lot after the makeover, and now she's a relatively obedient young lady," Xiaobai said with a smile.

"It's just that their past achievements were so glorious that I'm a little apprehensive." Yubari smiled. "Perfect timing, Admiral, I have something to tell you."

"what is the matter?"

"This refit of Anshan won't be finished today," Yubari said, pointing to the ship's equipment behind him.

"Huh? What?"

“I said, this renovation project in Anshan won’t be finished today,” Yubari repeated.

"Uh..." Xiaobai opened her mouth slightly, looking at Yubari's ship rigging, then at Yubari herself, "Is...is there some kind of difficulty?"

"Hmm...it's not that it's difficult...it's just that...Anshan's ship equipment is different from other ship equipment." Yubari crossed his arms and said seriously, "After all, she wasn't converted from other ship equipment into a missile ship, but rather she was already a missile ship undergoing secondary modifications. Especially since I also hoped that her ship equipment could retain its previous high performance as much as possible, and continue to develop its advantages on the basis of high performance, this is much more difficult than I imagined..."

“Uh…” Xiaobai thought for a while, then leaned closer to Yubari, “How about… I go and ask Lianlian to help you? The two of you together will definitely be fine.”

"Haha, that's good too. But Admiral Luo Lian is in seclusion right now, right? I chatted with her online, and she said her research is at its most crucial stage." Yubari smiled and then said, "The situation isn't too troublesome yet, so it's best not to bother her at this time. Besides, the ship equipment for Anshan... I feel that although it's taking a little longer than I expected, it's only taking a little longer. It should be finished by tomorrow morning at the latest."

"Oh... so it was just a matter of time... I thought it was a technical problem." Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief and immediately felt at ease.

"Don't worry, Admiral. If I can't get the ship equipment sorted out in Anshan by tomorrow morning, you can cut off my head and soak it in sake!" Yubari said, giving a thumbs up.

“That’s really unnecessary…” Xiaobai quickly shook her head, “Besides, I don’t drink, and Missouri and Changchun won’t let me drink either…”

"Just showing my determination to win." Yubari smiled and made a peace sign. "Alright, alright, Admiral, we're not going to finish today anyway, so you should go back and rest. You should also tell the ship girls outside to wait for me when I come out of seclusion tomorrow morning!"

"That's fine... but you should remember to get some rest."

Seeing Yubari's confident expression, Shiro smiled slightly at her.

Yubari smiled and nodded, seeing Shiro off from the renovation workshop.

When Xiaobai left the modification workshop alone, the ship girls outside the workshop were puzzled to see that Xiaobai was still all alone.

"Hey? Admiral, weren't you going to pick up Sister Anshan? Why are you out alone?"

"What, is Anshan Sister's new ability to become invisible?"

Faced with the ship girls' words, Shiro smiled shyly and stepped forward to repeat what Yubari had just told her to the ship girls.

After hearing Xiaobai's words, the ship girls were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other.

"Oh...so we have to wait another day..."

"Yes, Yubari said we shouldn't wait any longer. Since most of the ship girls' retrofits are finished, everyone can leave. If anyone really wants to see Anshan's retrofit, they can come back tomorrow morning," Shiro said.

"Hmm...that's true. You can go home first and come back tomorrow morning."

The ship girls looked left and right, and nodded in agreement.

"Then, Admiral, we'll go home now! We'll come back tomorrow morning!" the ship girls said immediately.

Xiaobai smiled and nodded, watching the ship girls leave one by one.

After waving goodbye, the ship girls disappeared through the gate of the modification factory. In an instant, only Changchun and Jinan remained by Xiaobai's side.
