Elder brother's garrison

Missouri then slowly released her hand from Bismarck's.

“That makes sense.” Bismarck nodded to Missouri and said, “Then I’ll go ask Little White later.”

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Bismarck-senpai," Missouri said with a smile to Bismarck.

“Can I leave my luggage there?” Bismarck asked, pointing to an empty room on one side.

Nia gave a thumbs-up in agreement.

Bismarck then led Tirpitz, Saratoga, and Yatsen into the empty house.

Nia watched Bismarck and the others disappear from the room before letting out a soft sigh of relief, then looked gratefully at Missouri.

Missouri smiled at Nia and pointed to herself with her left hand: "Nice to meet you, senior Nia. I am Missouri."

“Ah… um, I know you.” Nia smiled at Missouri, her gaze lingering for a moment on the ring on Missouri’s left hand.

"It's already a wedding ship..." Nia sighed softly. "Thank you."

“You’re welcome, Nia-senpai.” Missouri smiled at Nia and made a gesture of puffing up her cheeks. “Missouri is on Nia-senpai’s side, you know.”

"Huh?" Nia was taken aback. "Here."

“Yes, that’s right,” Missouri laughed.

"Why, why?" Nia asked, somewhat flattered.

“Senior Nia likes the Admiral, doesn’t she?” Missouri said with a smile.

Nia paused, then quickly glanced at Little White in the distance.

At this moment, Xiaobai was holding Javelin and Laffey with both hands, hugging Fubuki, while Changchun, blushing, clung tightly to Xiaobai's back, looking quite happy.

It seems they didn't hear Missouri's voice.

“It’s alright, Missouri is the Admiral’s wedding ship,” Missouri said to Nia. “Missouri also loves the Admiral the most.”

"Ah...then..."

“Missouri, being a married ship, naturally likes the Admiral, and you, Nia-senpai, like him too, so aren’t we on the same side?” Missouri said to Nia.

"Huh, is it possible to do it like this?"

"Of course, Nia, good luck!" Missouri said with a smile.

As Nia looked at Missouri, a bright light gradually began to shine in her eyes.

Just then, Bismarck also came out of the empty room.

"Then Missouri will take her leave." Missouri bowed to Nia, then walked towards Bismarck with a smile and chatted happily with her.

Nia stared blankly at Missouri's tall, mature figure and the way she chatted with Bismarck.

Missouri is such a wonderful ship girl, she really has the air of a married ship.

Thinking of this, Nia seemed to suddenly remember something. After giving Cleveland a few instructions, she walked toward the empty room that she had previously pointed out to Bismarck and the others.

Nia calmly opened the door to the rather secluded room and slipped inside.

Once inside, Nia locked the door behind her. After gently pulling on the door to make sure it was securely closed, Nia finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Nia breathed a sigh of relief and looked up into the room.

This is a single room that isn't very big, with a bed and a window that's tightly closed.

—There are posters of Shiro plastered all over the walls, and pillows with Shiro's picture printed on them covering the entire bed. On the headboard, rows and rows of plastic figurines of the white-haired admiral are stacked on top of a mountain of Kantai Collection comic books. Even the ceiling is covered with various images of Shiro circulating online, including several of Missouri holding Shiro while being interviewed.

"...We can't let Xiaobai see this."

Nia stared at the room, which resembled the room of a stalker or pervert, for a long time before finally letting out a sigh.

Chapter 632 Choose One, Choose Two, Choose Red Flower

Although it's a bit late to say this, Nia thinks she's actually quite perverted.

After saying goodbye to Xiaobai in Chapter 633, Nia declined Mr. Barbatos' suggestion to replace the naval base. She took a psychic potion, gained access to the Admiral Network, and has been striving to become stronger ever since.

Nia's naval base is located in a city that is far too safe. There are very few opportunities to encounter deep-sea ships throughout the year. Even if you do encounter one, it is just a bunch of weak deep-sea minions with no combat power. Under such circumstances, neither ship girls nor admirals can grow.

Therefore, Nia did not return to her garrison, but instead lived in the artificial city in the Chapter Sea for a long time.

However, although man-made cities have all the essential elements, they can never compare to real cities. As time goes by, life gradually becomes dull and monotonous.

One day, by sheer chance, Nia, who was browsing some information on her phone, accidentally opened a search engine webpage. Just as she was about to enter the keywords she wanted to look up, a red trending search term caught her eye.

The super battleship Missouri has arrived, revealing the admiral's mysterious daily life.

This kind of headline is actually quite unsuccessful. Nia usually sees a lot of sensational headlines when she goes online, such as "Shocking! Why is the white-haired destroyer picking up a giant cannon?" or "Don't throw away leftovers, coat them in egg wash and fry them, even Akagi next door is drooling with envy", or "Outrageous! Listen to the admiral in prison talk about destroyers".

Compared to those, this title seems rather bland.

However, as an admiral, Nia was still familiar with the Missouri, a rather famous battleship. Out of curiosity about this battleship, before her brain could even process it, Nia subconsciously clicked on the search term, leading to a video website.

Nia originally just wanted to see what the Missouri looked like before leaving, since such a powerful battleship was definitely out of her reach; she could just feast her eyes on it.

However, just as Nia was dragging the progress bar, the video stopped on the screen where Missouri was holding a white-haired admiral.

—From that moment on, Nia's new world began to unfold.

Perhaps life in the artificial city was just too boring, or perhaps Nia's heart was indeed more restless than her outward appearance. In any case, under the influence of various factors, Nia, who had unknowingly finished watching the video, ran off to the print shop and printed out more than a dozen copies of the high-definition Blu-ray version of the moment when Missouri was holding Little White, and brought them back to the naval base.

When Nia returned to her yard and went inside the house, she held a stack of photos of Little White in her hands, and felt her arms trembling.

However, Nia's heart was also filled with excitement.

Nia didn't know why she printed these posters, but since she had already printed them, it would be a waste not to use them.

With that thought in mind, Nia brought the posters into an empty little house and covered the walls with them.

Afterwards, as Nia looked at the walls covered with little white dots, she also felt an unparalleled joy from the inside out.

The door to Nia's new world has never been closed since then.

There were quite a few videos and other things about Shiro online. While thanking the almighty internet, Nia extracted all the video clips and copied them onto CDs. She also downloaded many well-made edited videos and music videos without missing a single one. She even gratefully bought many Shiro-themed merchandise items that were clearly made by bootleggers, and commissioned many Shiro pillows and dolls. Later, when she discovered that the protagonist of a long-lost manga, *Yuru Kantai Collection*, bore a striking resemblance to Shiro, Nia bought an entire cabinet full of them.

—Without realizing it, it turned out like this.

Leaning against the door, Nia sighed as she looked at the scene inside the room that she absolutely could not let Xiaobai see.

"...If they see us, we're doomed." Nia hugged her knees and looked at the hundreds of little white rabbits in the room, smiling gently.

There was no other way. After all, it was a rare opportunity. Nia had finally gotten a chance to let Xiaobai stay in her courtyard, so even if it was a risk, it was worth it.

—Yes, I definitely made the right choice buying this big courtyard house.

Thinking this, Nia slowly got up and looked around the room again.

"Should we tidy it up?" Nia muttered to herself, looking at the room full of white things, and remained silent for a long time.

"...Hmm, I don't know where to put it after I've tidied it up..." Nia sighed.

She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland.

Xiaobai watched as Javelin, Laffey, and the other ship girls from Nia's family walked out of the construction device. They were all ship girls trained by Xiaobai, and because of Xiaobai's relationship with Nia, these ship girls had a very high level of affection for Xiaobai.

Shiro and the destroyers sat together, watching Fubuki and Laffey Javelin laughing and joking without any barriers.

"Admiral, would you like some tea?" Changchun asked Xiaobai.

"Ah. I'm not thirsty, thank you Changchun." Xiaobai smiled at Changchun.

"Mm." Changchun nodded and took the opportunity to sit down next to Xiaobai.

"Isn't Changchun going with Fubuki?"

"It's better to be by the Admiral's side," Changchun said with a smile to Xiaobai.

"Is this the first time Changchun has seen Lafite and Javelin?"

"Ah."

"Don't be shy, you'll get to know each other after playing around for a while." Xiaobai looked at Changchun standing next to her and thought she was a little shy, so she encouraged Changchun.

"..." Changchun smiled and nodded, then quietly leaned her shoulder on Xiaobai's shoulder, "Then I'll go tomorrow."

"Changchun is really shy," Xiaobai said.

"Hehe." Changchun blushed and let out a series of pleasant laughs.

"Awoo!" Just as Changchun was feeling happy about monopolizing the Admiral, a blue figure suddenly darted out from behind Xiaobai and pounced on Changchun's back.

"Eeeeeee??" Changchun almost fell to the ground from the sudden movement. She turned her head and saw her fine blue hair scattered around her cheek. "Blow, blow snow??"

"Really, I can't let my guard down for even a minute, you little vixen who steals fish and has big breasts!" Fubuki hugged Changchun from behind while reaching out her hands and vigorously kneading the two soft mounds of Changchun's chest.

"Eek! E ...

"Changchun is really shrewish," Chuixue whispered through gritted teeth in Changchun's ear.

"Where did you get all smug? By the way, Fubuki, weren't you just playing with Laffey and Javelin?"

"Because Fubuki's Changchun radar is activated! Fubuki is an incredibly powerful destroyer!" Fubuki smiled smugly, then released her hands from rubbing Changchun and stood up from behind her. "Fubuki won't give that busty freak the chance to monopolize the admiral, you know."

Just as Changchun was clutching his chest and looking back at Fubuki with a face full of shame, Fubuki gently clapped her hands.

Suddenly, as if they were clones, the three sisters, Shirayuki, Hatsuyuki, and Sumiyuki, appeared out from behind her in a flash.

"Carry Changchun over there!" Fubuki called out to her sisters. Instantly, four blue figures rushed to Changchun's side and, without giving her any time to react, lifted her up by her limbs.

"Sister Changchun, I'm so sorry, but please come and play with us." Bai Xue lifted one of Changchun's arms and apologized to her.

"Eh? Huh?"

"Let's go!" Then, the four Fubuki sisters carried Changchun like a bridal sedan chair to Javelin and Lafite, who were waving flags and shouting.

Xiao Bai stood there watching the destroyer's carefree antics and couldn't help but laugh.

As expected of a destroyer known for its vitality, even Shiro herself felt a sense of aging when looking at Fubuki and the others.

As Xiaobai was thinking, she heard footsteps behind her.

Bismarck walked from the door to Little White's side: "Little White."

“Yes, I’m here,” Little White said to Bismarck.

"Nia said we can stay here."

"Huh? Nia said that?" Xiaobai was taken aback.

“She said it would save money.” Bismarck nodded.

"Uh...oh." Xiaobai nodded.

"Will you stay here?" Bismarck asked.

"Hmm... If Nia doesn't mind, I'd really like to stay here for a while," Xiaobai said.

"Then I'll go ask her?" Bismarck turned around and prepared to leave.

"Oh, no need, no need, I'll go ask." Xiaobai noticed Bismarck's behavior and subtly felt it was a bit inappropriate. She quickly called out to Bismarck, "Could Bismarck help us pack our luggage first?"

"Alright." Bismarck left.

Little White watched Bismarck's departing figure and breathed a sigh of relief.

Bismarck is known for being the straightforward ship girl in the naval base, while Nia is gentle and shy, so it might be a bit difficult for her to talk to Bismarck... In short, I think it's better for me to handle it myself.

Xiaobai turned her head and glanced in the direction of the destroyers. She saw that Changchun, who had just been transported there, had not been bullied by Fubuki. Laffey, Javelin, and the other destroyers were surrounding her properly, and they were making strange noises while looking at Changchun's phone.

Xiaobai stood up and looked around the yard, but did not find Nia.

"Huh?" Little White was taken aback.

Xiaobai originally thought Nia would be standing in the yard, so he didn't ask Bismarck where Nia was. He didn't expect Nia to disappear from the yard so quickly.

Xiao Bai looked at each house around the yard one by one, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

With so many houses, which one should I choose?

Chapter 634 Infinite Taihou System

Fortunately, although Nia wasn't in the yard, her ship girls were still there.

At that moment, Cleveland stood blankly at the entrance of the yard, staring at the sky.

"Hello, Cleveland." Xiaobai walked towards Cleveland and greeted the ship girl.

Cleveland, who was staring blankly at the sky, sensed Little White approaching. She turned her head in Little White's direction and bowed to her, saying, "Hello."
