Chapter 3987 Daily Greetings

Nia's kiss on Xiaobai's lips was so natural, without any hint of probing, like a dragonfly skimming the water, touching and then leaving, as if Nia wasn't actually kissing Xiaobai, but simply greeting him with a "good morning."

Before Xiaobai could even react, the moist, soft touch of Nia's lips was already subtly lingering on her own.

The young girl's breath was clean and fresh, with a hint of fruity toothpaste scent lingering between her lips and teeth.

"Eh? Nia..." Xiaobai jumped back like a startled bird, covering her mouth with one hand and looking at Nia in surprise.

"Hmm? Little White, what's wrong?" Nia smiled innocently at Little White.

"..." Xiaobai was surprised that Nia could ask her a question when Nia had kissed her first. She stood there for a moment, blinking, and then, seeing the happy expression on Nia's face, she was first confused, but finally seemed to realize something. "Ah...uh...no, nothing..."

Xiaobai's voice grew weaker and weaker. She slowly lowered her hand from her mouth and didn't say anything more.

correct……

Xiao Bai remembered that last night she herself had told Nia that it was acceptable for friends to kiss as a greeting... Judging from the current situation, the speaker may have been unaware of the implications, but Nia probably took it to heart.

So... is Nia going to greet me this way from now on?

Xiao Bai secretly glanced at Nia, his expression somewhat peculiar.

"Xiaobai, what's wrong... you seem to have something on your mind." Nia asked with some concern when she saw that Xiaobai hadn't spoken for a long time.

"...Hmm...maybe it's because I'm feeling a bit listless thinking about having to go to work again today," Xiaobai replied.

"Oh, I see. Then Xiaobai, you need to take care of yourself and get some rest." Nia understood, then she took Xiaobai's hand and continued, "Chapter 8 depends entirely on you now. If you get sick from overwork, it will be a very serious problem."

"I will..." Xiaobai smiled at Nia.

"Mmm." Nia finally let go of Xiaobai's hand with satisfaction. She turned her back to Xiaobai and asked, her eyes full of anticipation, "Xiaobai, do you want to have breakfast together?"

"sure."

"Great! Let's go to the cafeteria now!" Nia said, and her pace of cleaning the room quickened even further.

……

What happened between Xiaobai and Nia last night wasn't a big deal for her, but it wasn't a particularly small matter either.

After inexplicably developing a strange friendship with Nia where they could kiss each other upon meeting, Xiaobai, while not entirely opposed to it, still felt quite puzzled.

Although Xiaobai didn't really mind, one thing she had to admit was that, perhaps because she hadn't gotten used to kissing a human girl, her attitude towards Nia was indeed subtly affected by it.

However, in Xiaobai's eyes, Nia was no different from before on the second day. Nia's attitude and emotions towards Xiaobai were exactly the same as Xiaobai remembered. It was as if in her mind, kissing was indeed a courtesy of the same level as greeting.

Nia's nonchalant attitude made Xiaobai feel a strange sense of unease, wondering if she was overreacting and whether it was really okay for friends to kiss occasionally.

After breakfast, Nia parted ways with Xiaobai with satisfaction. After saying goodbye to Xiaobai, she led the ship girls of Nia Naval Base straight away from the temporary naval base.

—According to yesterday's statement, Nia will not actually challenge the Black Tower very early. The reason she set off so early is because she needs to first accept the daily expedition missions assigned by the Admiral's Guild, then go to the normal sea areas to level up. Only after completing those daily missions will Nia continue to consider the Black Tower challenge.

The Black Tower is the Black Tower, and going to war is going to war; Nia clearly distinguishes between the two.

After watching Nia and the ship girls from Nia's naval base leave, Xiaobai rested alone at the entrance of the cafeteria for a while.

Before long, the figure of the super-sized Yamato appeared from the roadside.

"Admiral... I'm sorry I'm late..." Chao Da and Xiao Bai ran up to Xiao Bai and said apologetically.

"No, you've come at the perfect time." Little White smiled at Super Big. "Have you had breakfast?"

"Ah... not yet." Chao Dahe paused for a moment, then subconsciously shook her head.

"I have some freshly packed steamed buns here, they're still warm, here you go." Xiaobai handed a bag of steamed buns from behind her to Chaodahe.

"Ah... thank you, Admiral..." Chao Dahe replied subconsciously, holding a bag of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings).

"Let's go, let's go to work." Xiaobai said to Chaodahe, and then walked towards the food warehouse, which was also the teleportation point of the temporary garrison.

Chao Dahe quickly followed Xiao Bai. She looked down at the steaming xiaolongbao packaging bag in her hand, thought for a moment, then reached out and untied the bag, picked up a xiaolongbao from inside, and chewed it.

The soft, fluffy white dough, paired with juicy and flavorful meat filling, is a classic and rustic combination that becomes even more delicious at the perfect temperature, satisfying you no matter how many times you eat it.

The food is huge, and you close your eyes and savor the sensation in your mouth.

But at that moment, Xiaobai, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and turned around to ask a question.

"Super Yamato, speaking of which, there's something I want to ask you."

"Uh? Cough cough cough..." Chao Dahe choked, and quickly pounded her chest and coughed, her whole body flustered and uneasy, "Admiral... what does the Admiral want to ask..."

"Have you ever kissed anyone else, Chaoda?" Xiaobai asked, looking at Chaoda.

"...?" Chao Yamato was stunned. She looked at Shiro blankly, unsure how to respond. "...Admiral...?"

Why would the admiral ask such a question?

Kissing... that's something only lovers do. My lover has always been the Admiral, so of course I've only ever done it with the Admiral...

Then again...aren't I the admiral's marriage ship?

He glanced at the ring on his hand, almost unconsciously.

The oversized wedding ring that Xiaobai gave him sparkled in the sunlight.

Could it be... that the admiral suspects her of cheating on him?

Thinking of this, Chao Dahe paused, her face immediately fell... a strange sadness welled up inside her.

broken……

It must be because I've been keeping such an important matter from the Admiral these past few days that I've gradually drifted apart from him...

It's huge and I feel a little wronged.

"No." Chaoda immediately shook his head rapidly and said to Xiaobai, "Absolutely not."

"So that's how it is. You and Chaoda didn't have it either..." Xiaobai seemed oblivious to Chaoda's low spirits. She muttered to herself thoughtfully and looked away.

"..." Chao Da looked at Xiao Bai cautiously, and asked nervously, "Admiral... why are you asking this..."

"Ah... um... because I was just thinking, is it normal for friends to use kissing instead of greeting each other?" Xiaobai replied. "Yesterday I could figure it out, but today... I feel like I don't understand it anymore."

"...Friends...kissing?" The question was both huge and bewildered.

The two words, "超大" and "超大", are understandable when read separately, but when combined, they become somewhat incomprehensible to both.

"Hey, just pretend I was talking nonsense, it's really no big deal." After thinking for a while, Xiaobai smiled at Chaoda and shook his head.

"..." Super Yamato.

While eating xiaolongbao, Juda followed Xiaobai into the food warehouse.

I don't know if it's because the temperature in the food warehouse has dropped a lot, or because I'm not very hungry these days, but suddenly I feel that the xiaolongbao in my hand doesn't taste as good as it did the first time I took a bite.

……

When Xiaobai returned to the Admiral's Guild, the Royal Guard ship girls, including Ticonderoga, were already dressed and beginning their work for the day. They busily carried the day's work documents from downstairs to Xiaobai's office. The urgent documents piled up like a mountain, covering the entire desk and threatening to topple over. While the Royal Guard ship girls continued carrying, upon seeing Xiaobai and Super Yamato arrive, they immediately stopped what they were doing, stood at attention, saluted, and greeted Xiaobai in clear, energetic voices.

"Hello, President!"

"Hello everyone." Xiaobai smiled at the guard ship girls. "You're at work so early, you must be tired."

"The president works even harder!"

The ship girls in the guard all spoke in unison.

Xiaobai chuckled to herself, nodded to the ship girls, and then pulled the slightly preoccupied Chao Yamato into the office.

When the ship girls in the guard squad saw Xiaobai start working in the office, they gathered outside the door, cautiously watching the scene inside. Then they all looked away and exchanged glances.

"You don't have to stand outside all the time. When I don't give you any instructions, you can find a place to rest freely. Be relaxed and don't be too tense."

Xiaobai's voice came from inside the office.

"Yes! President!"

Upon hearing Xiaobai's voice, the guard ship girls instinctively responded, then quickly retreated several steps to the sofa next to the office.

“Um… Captain, since the guild master has said so… then we…” the guards whispered to Ticonderoga.

"As the admiral says, let's rest where we are." Ticonderoga nodded.

"Yay...yes..." The ship girls tentatively sat down on the sofa, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Captain... can I have some Coke?" a team member asked quietly, looking at the self-service beverage shop not far away.

"At work," Ticonderoga said.

“Uh…yes, that’s true…” The team member immediately scratched his head.

“However… the Admiral also said… as long as we don’t stray too far from the office door, we can do whatever we want.” Ticonderoga pondered for a moment, glanced at her team members, and then explained.

Chapter 3988 My Identity is Super Big

Upon hearing that Ticonderoga had given in, the five team members present immediately cheered.

"Captain! You're the best!" The ship girls stood up and thanked Ticonderoga.

"Why are you thanking me..." Ticonderoga looked at his team members helplessly. "The one who gave the order to move freely was the Admiral, and the one who told me that the Royal Guard could freely use all the resources in the Guild Hall was also the Admiral. If you really want to thank someone, you should thank the Admiral."

"Hehe, you're right, you're right, thank you, President! You're the best!" The ship girls nodded in agreement.

In the guild hall of chapter 3989, there was a wide variety of entertainment options, including food, drinks, and games. In fact, the guard ship girls were quite eager to try them out on their first day here.

However... before they were allowed to move freely, the guard ship girls did not dare to act on their own initiative and could only obediently wait for Xiaobai's instructions. Now that the order to move freely had been issued, the guard ship girls cheered and scattered towards the surrounding entertainment facilities.

Ticonderoga sat alone on the sofa in front of the office, silently watching his five teammates.

"Captain? Aren't you coming with us?" The Royal Guard ship girls stopped and asked Ticonderoga curiously.

"I won't go, you guys have fun," Ticonderoga nodded, his expression nonchalant.

"Captain...this isn't a good idea..." The team members were somewhat conflicted.

"It's nothing. I'm not interested in entertainment. It's nice to rest here for a while," Ticonderoga said casually, a glint in his eyes. "Besides, it's perfect that I can receive the Admiral's orders here immediately."

"Oh, oh, oh! So you wanted to stay with the president!" The team members immediately understood.

"..." Ticonderoga.

"Hehe, then we won't bother you!" The team members chuckled with their hands behind their backs, and then ran off to their respective desired spots.

Ticonderoga watched her teammates leave, sighed, and slowly leaned back on the sofa before turning her head to look at the open office door.

Inside the office, the sound of swishing and rustling as work was being processed echoed continuously.

Ticonderoga wasn't sleepy, but she still slowly closed her eyes and listened intently.

……

The five ship girls who were part of the guard did not go too far from the office, but even if they did not go too far, they could still access most of the entertainment facilities in the hall.

Each of the five ship girls had their own preferred destination, and after receiving instructions from Ticonderoga, the five ship girls separated.

Cologne, one of the three sisters in the blue uniform, skipped and hopped her way to the snack shop with her hands behind her back.

Although it's called a "small shop," it's filled with a wide variety of goods, and none of them have price tags. There's also a sign hanging in front of the shop that says, "Take small portions frequently."

Cologne stood in front of the convenience store, ran her fingers through her long brown hair, and her gaze fell on a fully automatic sausage grilling machine at the entrance of the store.

"The things here... since there are no prices, they must be free... right?" Cologne murmured softly. She tried to walk up to the sausage machine, reached into the bamboo skewer holder next to it, pulled out a skewer, and gently skewered a sizzling, oily sausage. She brought it to her mouth and took a small bite. "Mmm, so delicious..."

Cologne chewed on a sausage, unconsciously cupping his cheek with one hand, a beautiful expression on his face.

"As a Royal Guard ship girl, it's so great to be allowed to use the facilities in the Guild Hall..." Cologne muttered to herself happily. "Such a wonderful place doesn't even charge ship girls a penny. The ship girls in the newbie naval base are so lucky... We have to pay our electricity, water, and room and board bills on time even though we live in the Admiral's Guild's dormitory..."

Grilled sausages are not a rare thing. In fact, there are many roadside vendors selling them in Chapter 8, and they are not expensive, only a few dollars a sausage.

But perhaps because it was free, or perhaps out of envy for the wonderful lives of the newbie naval ship girls, Cologne felt that the sausage she was eating tasted exceptionally delicious.

Cologne took another bite of the sausage and looked at the other items in the shop.

This place has everything imaginable; besides food and drinks, there are also small toys and cards. It's much larger than the average convenience store I've seen in Cologne.

“Huh…I remember this is the commemorative robot figure that Königsberg really liked…” Cologne saw the boxed toy hanging on the wall of the convenience store. She walked over, took the boxed toy down, and looked at the contents with some surprise and interest. “Last month, when the Admiral’s Guild was on holiday, I saw her want to buy this while we were shopping together…But I remember it cost over a thousand rubles, so I couldn’t bear to spend the money and didn’t buy it…This convenience store even has things like this…Ah…And is this a free product?”

Cologne muttered to herself, holding the boxed toy and thinking for a long time, looking around for something like a rulebook, her expression somewhat conflicted.

"Hmm... Königsberg would be very happy to see this... but this toy is so valuable... wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate for me to take it... what if it's just a souvenir displayed here..."

Cologne was pondering somewhat awkwardly.

Suddenly, she heard footsteps behind her.

Kron thought that her act of taking the valuable toy box without permission had attracted the attention of the administrator or something similar. She immediately trembled and turned around as if to apologize to the person behind her.
