Elder brother's garrison

The three of them followed the path they had come from and went back.

The heavily injured mercenary ship girl had just brought back news of the victory, and the crew on board still had to deal with the aftermath. At this time, the actions of the three frail (?) girls would not attract much attention.

Back to the bedroom.

Having experienced many ups and downs on the deck, Xiaobai had lost all sleepiness.

Saratoga and Bismarck, however, indicated their sleepiness. They lay down on the bed and quietly fell asleep.

Oh, Saratoga somehow ended up in Bismarck's bed this time and slept with him.

"Am I being disliked?" Xiaobai thought to herself with some self-pity, just as she was about to take off her clothes.

A subtle stinging sensation traveled from Xiaobai's neck and arms.

Xiaobai sat down in front of the mirror and lifted her shirt.

On his arm, for some reason, there were faint bluish-purple bruises that would appear if someone had strangled him tightly.

She thought for a moment and then put her hair down to one side of her neck.

On the other side of his neck was a purplish-blue bruise about the size of a lip.

Xiao Bai remained in this strange posture, staring at the wound on her neck, before finally letting her hair down.

Little White covered his neck and gently turned his head to look at Saratoga, who was sleeping with Bismarck.

After a long while, she covered her neck and lowered her head.

Chapter 40 Being Visited

Bismarck awoke as the sky finally began to lighten.

The constant preparations for war at the naval base ensured that Bismarck could fall asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow and wake up at dawn, no matter what happened.

Bismarck gently rubbed her eyes and picked up the watch beside her pillow to take a look.

Half past five.

When she's at home, she's usually responsible for cooking for Tirpitz and Shiro, so she gets up earlier than other ship girls.

Bismarck glanced at Saratoga, who was curled up in a ball beside him, wrapped in a blanket.

The fairy-like girl slept peacefully, just like her own cat.

...There is a buffet on board, maybe I should take a nap some more.

Thinking this, Bismarck propped himself up and looked towards Little White.

nobody.

The bed where Xiaobai was was empty.

Bismarck quietly got out of bed.

He put on his coat and left the room.

There weren't many early risers. Once outside, you could only see waiters working through the night, occasionally seen a short distance away.

Bismarck went up onto the deck.

The salty sea breeze blew toward Bismarck's face, bringing a touch of coolness.

Little White was standing on the edge of the deck, facing the sea.

"Ah." Sensing someone approaching, Xiaobai turned around. "Good morning, Bismarck."

"Good morning." Bismarck walked to Little White's side.

Xiaobai got a new hairstyle.

Xiao Bai usually has ordinary shoulder-length hair, but today she tied her hair into a side ponytail that fell in front of her shoulder, covering her shoulder and half of her neck, making her look a bit more mature.

“You’ve changed your hairstyle,” Bismarck said to Little White.

"Hmm..." Xiaobai gave a hesitant smile, "Is it pretty?"

“It suits you very well.” Bismarck glanced down at the deck. “Looking at the sea?”

"Hmm." Xiaobai touched her hair and nodded. "I can't sleep."

“That’s how it is when you first encounter the deep sea,” Bismarck said. “You’ll get used to it.”

"Okay." Xiaobai lowered her hand and looked at the sea in front of her.

Calm, tranquil, azure waves surged ceaselessly.

This very sea, just a few hours ago, was fraught with danger.

Several dangerous deep-sea amphibious ships dwell on the seabed, waiting to devour humans.

The two spent some time together, exchanging occasional words, and gradually, more and more people appeared on the deck.

After ensuring the deck was safe, the curious passengers gradually came out and began to observe the surrounding sea.

Passengers who travel by ship regularly occasionally encounter such deep-sea attacks. However, last night's battle between the ship girls and the deep-sea forces was truly excessive, with flames soaring into the sky towards the end, resembling the apocalypse.

Little White and Bismarck walked back to the room.

Occasionally, you can see passengers on the street whispering to each other about what happened last night.

They all looked as if they had seen something very interesting.

"It's clearly a very cruel thing," Xiaobai muttered to herself in a low voice for some reason.

The scene from last night is still vivid in my mind.

“Since visiting ship girls is considered a paid entertainment activity, then seeing ship girls fighting against deep-sea creatures should also be included in the calculation,” Bismarck said from the side.

"If the ship girl is sunk, everyone on this ship will die, you know?" Xiaobai said, touching her hair in a strange tone.

Bismarck glanced at Little White, but said nothing.

The two people walked to the door of the room.

Just as I was about to open the door, a girl wearing a baseball cap suddenly walked out from the corner of the corridor and quickly approached me.

"Excuse me, are you a guest in this room?" the girl asked Xiaobai in a low voice.

Xiao Bai looked at the girl and, as if he had been prepared, opened the door.

"Go in and talk."

Little White and Bismarck went inside.

Seeing the open door, the girl in the baseball cap initially looked around in a bit of panic. But when she saw Saratoga still curled up asleep in bed, she seemed reassured and went inside.

This girl was naturally one of the ship girls hired by the passenger ship.

There is a strange feeling between ship girls; as long as the distance is right, they can sense the presence of their kind.

Therefore, Xiaobai and Bismarck were not surprised at all that the hired ship girls could find their group.

A number of people came in at once, and Saratoga groggily sat up from the bed.

She rubbed her eyes and stared at the girl in the baseball cap by the door for a while.

“Ah, from yesterday.” Saratoga expressed his surprise in a completely emotionless tone.

“Hello…” The girl in the baseball cap took off her cap, revealing long, flowing red hair that cascaded down her shoulders. She bowed to Saratoga. “Thank you for last night.”

If Saratoga hadn't appeared in time last night, the girl and her companions might have been smashed into pieces and sunk to the bottom of the sea by now.

"I am the light cruiser Enterprise," the young ship girl introduced herself.

Saratoga.

"I am Qi (2) San Ling, the battleship ship girl of the Bismarck."

The two ship girls introduced themselves to the Enterprise.

Enterprise was clearly taken aback for a moment.

"Oh, hello." Enterprise quickly lowered its head.

Saratoga and Bismarck are extremely powerful ship girls with renowned battle achievements, resembling heroes in the ship girl community. They are usually stationed in powerful naval bases, only deployed in the most critical situations.

Military ship girls.

I couldn't beat a hundred of myself.

"And you are..." Enterprise shifted its gaze to the quiet young woman beside it.

This girl didn't have the aura of a ship girl. She was just an ordinary person.

However, ordinary people who act alongside ship girls are often more terrifying than the ship girls themselves.

“My name is Lu Lin.” Xiao Bai nodded. “I am the admiral of the garrison stationed in this area.”

"I'm sorry, that was rude of me," Jinqu quickly apologized.

"It's alright. I'm just a newly appointed admiral myself," Xiaobai said with a smile.

Enterprise stared at White's pure smile, and his expression froze.

You're kidding.

With such powerful ship girls following him right after taking office, when did ship girls become so worthless?

My ambitious heart couldn't help but tremble.

Ah, could it be a SEAL Admiral? One of those legendary, terrifying figures who uses their powerful ship girls to harass weaker admirals?

“You’ve come here for more than just to say thank you,” Bismarck remarked from the side.

Enterprise's body also trembled.

“…I’m sorry.” Jinqu seemed to have gone through a fierce internal struggle before letting out a sigh.

The Enterprise deployed its ship equipment.

With a hoarse, scraping noise, a tattered light cruiser suit was fitted onto the Enterprise's back and hands.

Enterprise bowed deeply.

As the Enterprise moved, its shipboard equipment was still hissing and sparking.

"I have come here to ask for your help."

Chapter 41 Ship Girls Delivered to Your Door

Enterprise is a ship girl belonging to a security company, mainly responsible for escort missions.

They are civilian ship girls.

Ship girl technology is not only used by the navy; in fact, a considerable number of civilian organizations also spend a lot of money to carry out inferior summoning rituals.

Although some of the most advanced and core technologies are still in the hands of the admirals, this does not mean that it is impossible to summon ship girls without these technologies.

With a deep-sea core and a large amount of resources, it is possible to summon ship girls after a certain number of trials.

However, compared to the already subtle formal rituals, the strength of the ship girls summoned under inferior rituals is not worth mentioning.

However, it still has at least the ability to provide escort.

"Compared to hiring expensive military ship girls every time, these simple and easy-to-use civilian ship girls are more economical and practical" — many business owners share this view.

In conclusion, this business model of hiring convenient ship girls has indeed greatly improved the flexibility of the economy and industry. It also eliminates the awkward situation of having to queue up in front of the naval base every time military ship girls are hired.

As a result, the government later tacitly approved of this industry's practice of summoning ship girls and even established a series of relevant departments to handle human rights issues related to these civilian ship girl projects.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle—" Sparks kept flying from the Enterprise's ship equipment, as if it would collapse at any moment.

This was the first time Xiaobai had ever seen ship equipment in such a dilapidated state.

The Enterprise's ship equipment was classified as light cruiser equipment, which was significantly smaller in scale than that of a massive battleship like the Bismarck.

Therefore, it is more vulnerable.

"A request?" Xiaobai looked at Jinqu, who was bowing at a ninety-degree angle, and guessed what was going on more or less.

The biggest difference between civilian and military ship girls isn't actually their combat power—after all, there aren't many Bismarcks and Saratogas in the world—but rather their treatment.

Civilian ship girls do not receive funding for various advanced technologies.

There isn't even a basic repair pool. To repair damaged ship equipment, you have to go to the nearest naval base to request it.

Not to mention the numerous rapid repair devices in Bismarck's shipboard equipment space.
