Elder brother's garrison

"Why should I apologize?"

"...I just feel like I have to apologize." Constellation covered her mouth, saying with some heartache.

For some reason, when Xiaobai saw the reactions to the zodiac signs, a strong sense of frustration welled up in his chest.

At that moment, Xiaobai's vision quickly darkened.

Xiao Bai heard a whooshing sound beside her ear, followed by a faint fragrance, and then a shirt was slapped onto her head.

"Use mine then." Er Gou's voice reached Xiao Bai's ears.

Xiao Bai quickly pulled her shirt off her head and looked at President Er Gou.

The president, Er Gou, wearing a shirt, was smiling at him with his eyes narrowed: "My size and zodiac sign should fit me pretty well."

"Is it okay? This is the president's dress."

"It's just a piece of clothing, it's not expensive, and besides, you still have to return it to me," said President Er Gou, hands on his hips, to Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai glanced at President Er Gou, who was wearing a white shirt, for a while, and then nodded.

So the president was wearing clothes under her coat.

A strange thought popped into Xiaobai's mind. She didn't know why she had this thought, as if she had previously assumed that President Ergou's clothes contained absolutely no moral boundaries.

"The exercise is almost over, so I'm leaving now." President Er Gou gave Xiao Bai an OK sign and made a move to leave.

"Huh? Is the student council president leaving so soon?"

"I need to go back to work."

"Uh, it's not really appropriate to go shirtless... How about I give you your clothes back..."

"It's alright, it's alright. I'm just going back to slack off anyway, a shirt won't matter." President Er Gou smiled at Xiao Bai, then revealed a rather serious expression, "But I hope you can promise me one thing."

"What is it?" This was the first time Xiaobai had seen President Ergou so serious. She thought President Ergou was going to say something serious, so she straightened up and listened carefully.

"Don't wash those clothes after you use them," said President Er Gou, pointing to the clothes in Xiao Bai's arms with a serious expression.

"Huh? What do you mean by 'don't wash'...?"

"Farewell!" Just as Xiaobai was about to ask for clarification, the president of the Er Gou guild displayed an extremely vivid panda-man emoji on her face. Then, she took long strides and, amidst a series of loud laughs, quickly ran towards the city. In the blink of an eye, all that remained in Xiaobai's vision was a tiny figure.

"..." Xiaobai held Er Gou's clothes and gently sniffed them.

What entered Xiaobai's nose was a rather sweet scent, not the fragrance of shampoo or shower gel, but a very pleasant body odor from a girl.

Xiao Bai sighed.

"Make sure you wash it thoroughly before returning it." Xiaobai handed Er Gou's clothes to Xingzuo.

Half an hour later, Xiaobai and the ship girls returned to Nia's courtyard.

After a long day of work, the destroyers behind Xiaobai finally let out a joyful shout of liberation. As soon as they entered Nia's yard, they rushed to the side of Nia's destroyers and started playing around like happy friends.

"Admiral, you live here?" Constellation stood behind Xiaobai, curiously surveying Nia's yard.

"Yes, I'll stay here for now. I'm exploring the chapter's sea area."

"Oh~" Constellation nodded, "Is the naval base in a very far place?"

"It's very far."

"Is it big?"

"Yes, it's really big." Xiaobai nodded.

At this point, Xiaobai paused slightly, then pointed to the destroyers playing around in the middle of the yard: "Constellation, I'm going to rest inside for a while. You can go there and chat with the ship girls."

"Oh, sure," Constellation smiled at Xiaobai.

A ship girl who's too clingy isn't a good ship girl. Right now, seeing that Shiro says she needs to rest, Constellation doesn't seem to have any intention of staying any longer.

Xiao Bai smiled at the constellation, then went into her room.

Constellation watched as Xiaobai walked back to her room, then turned around and looked at the other ship girls behind her.

"Hello everyone, I'm the second ship of the Lexington-class battlecruiser. Please take care of me from now on." Constellation smiled warmly at the other ship girls, "As a newcomer, I still have many shortcomings. I hope you seniors won't dislike me. I will definitely work harder to become an excellent ship..."

"Hmm." Before Constellation could finish speaking, Tirpitz nodded, walked up to Constellation, patted her on the shoulder, and then went back to her room while yawning.

“You’re very good.” Bismarck walked to the other side of the constellation, patted her on the other shoulder, then took out a quick repair device from her ship equipment space, put it on the constellation’s head, and walked towards the kitchen.

The constellation stared awkwardly at her sisters, one running towards the bedroom and the other towards the kitchen, speechless for a moment.

"Senior Constellation, Missouri just joined the naval base too, let's cheer each other on!" Missouri smiled and encouraged Constellation. "Well, Missouri still has to cook for everyone in the yard, so I'll be going now."

Missouri then followed Bismarck toward the kitchen with a broad smile.

Constellation stared blankly at Yixian.

Yi Xian smiled at the constellation and said, "I'm not busy, constellation, you can continue."

Just as she was about to open her mouth, Fubuki and Changchun, who were making a ruckus with Nia's destroyers in the middle of the courtyard, rushed to Yixian's side, grabbed her wrist, and started chattering away.

"Sister Yixian, Sister Yixian, could you tell us the story again at noon today? Lafite and Javelin want to hear it too."

"Ah...this..." Yi Xian looked at the constellation with some difficulty.

"It's alright, it's alright, Senior Yixian, you go ahead with your work," Constellation said with a smile to Yixian.

Yi Xian then nodded apologetically to the constellation before leaving with a large number of destroyers.

Constellation reached out and removed the quick-repair device from her head, glancing somewhat dejectedly at Saratoga beside her.

Saratoga noticed the Constellation's gaze and quickly took his arm, giving him an expression that said, "It's okay, I'm here for you."

Zodiac's lips trembled slightly, and she was so touched that she picked up Saratoga and buried her face in her warm embrace.

In this cold and heartless society, only my younger sister can bring me a little warmth.

Chapter 655 Humans are truly amazing!

"Saratoga, am I being rejected?" Constellation said, sounding a little aggrieved.

Saratoga shook her head rapidly.

"They all seem to have no desire to talk to me," Constellation murmured as she rubbed against Saratoga's chest.

Saratoga broke out in a cold sweat.

Saratoga felt that this wasn't her sister's fault; procedurally speaking, what the zodiac sign had just said was a very formal self-introduction.

However, the self-introduction of the constellation was indeed a bit boring, and the ship girls she was facing were not the type to follow the rules, which led to the situation just now.

For example, Tirpitz was currently preoccupied with returning to her quiet bedroom and playing the handheld game console she had secretly brought from the naval base under the guise of sleeping; she had no interest in listening to a long speech.

For example, Saratoga felt that Bismarck didn't even take in the whole astrology section. After simply understanding "constellation = partner," Bismarck wanted to go about her own business.

Although these German sisters may seem cold and aloof, they are also welcoming the zodiac in their own way.

—For example, those few pats on the shoulder just now, someone who isn't considered a partner by the two of them wouldn't do that so easily.

Saratoga felt the constellation on his chest and thought for a while.

Saratoga felt that explaining with her own eloquence might only make things worse, so she decided against it.

The constellation lingered on Saratoga's chest for a while, then, after regaining her composure, slowly activated the rapid repair device that Bismarck had given her. While holding the device on her head, she looked around the courtyard.

“That’s Takao, that’s Atago.” Saratoga introduced the constellations while pointing to the corresponding ship girls, “Cleveland, Helena, Laffey…”

As she listened, Constellation nodded in agreement: "Are those all the admiral's ship girls?"

“No, it’s Admiral Nia’s,” Saratoga said. “The ones behind us just now were.”

"Oh..." Constellation nodded. "Anything else?"

“There are two more,” Saratoga said.

"Where?" Constellation asked.

Saratoga pointed towards the door.

Following Saratoga's finger, the constellation looked towards the gate of the courtyard.

The gate to Nia's courtyard was wide open, and a series of footsteps approached from afar. Soon, two figures, one in red and one in blue, carrying vegetable baskets, appeared in front of the gate.

"Saratoga? You're back already?" As soon as Jinqu stepped through the gate, she saw Saratoga pointing at the gate. She smiled and, together with Emerald, moved closer to Saratoga, looking at the constellation.

"May I ask who this is?" Jinqu asked curiously.

“My sister,” Saratoga said.

"Hello, my name is Constellation." Constellation also took the opportunity to bow slightly to Progress and Emerald.

"Ah, are you ship girls who just arrived from the naval base?" Agile looked at Constellation in surprise. She and Emerald quickly took a step back and bowed deeply to Constellation. "My name is Agile, and her name is Emerald. We are ship girls who just joined the naval base yesterday. Please take care of us, senior."

"...I was only built today."

"Today??" Jinqu raised his head, looking at the constellation with curiosity.

"Yes. Today." The zodiac sign nodded.

"May I ask, Miss Constellation, is your ship type an aircraft carrier?"

"No, it's a battlecruiser."

"...The Admiral is truly amazing." Jinqu covered his mouth, muttering in surprise.

Having lived in the Chapter Sea for so long, Jinqu had long known how low the success rate of building ship girls was. In this city, if any admiral successfully built a ship girl, setting off firecrackers, holding a banquet, and decorating with lanterns and streamers were all standard practice. Jinqu never expected that he, as an admiral, would build a ship girl at the Admiral Guild on his very second day in the artificial city. Moreover, the ship he built was a rare large ship. More importantly, after successfully building it, the admiral was quite calm, as if building and selling a ship girl was a routine activity, without any intention of celebrating.

"Speaking of which, where is the Admiral?" Jinqu asked Saratoga with some curiosity.

“She’s sleeping,” Saratoga said.

“Oh…” Jinqu and Fei Cui looked on with admiration.

As expected of my benefactor, the Admiral, his composure is terrifying.

Seeing that they were behaving perfectly normally, just like two normal people, Encouragement and Emerald shed tears of emotion.

—Anyway, although it was a bit sudden, I managed to successfully introduce myself.

It's so nice that these two newly joined ship girls are friendly young ladies.

"Oh, right, speaking of Miss Zodiac?"

"I'm here."

Have you decided where you want to stay?

"Huh?" Zodiac was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

"There are many rooms here. Has the Admiral assigned you a room?"

"Uh, not yet." Constellation said, looking at Saratoga, "Should the Admiral choose the room for me, or should I choose it myself?"

"Either is fine, but you should tell Xiaobai and Nia after you make your choice," Saratoga said to the constellation.

The constellation represents understanding.

After all, she is a ship girl, so she should at least tell the admiral where she lives. Otherwise, it would be too troublesome for the admiral to find her by searching room by room.

"I'll just pick any one," Constellation said, nodding to Progress and Emerald. "If the Admiral is sleeping now, I'll look for her later. Where is Admiral Nia?"

“Admiral Nia is probably over there.” Jinqu pointed to a room. “I saw Admiral Nia go into that room yesterday afternoon.”

"Thank you," Constellation said gratefully.

"You're welcome." The ship girls smiled at the constellation, then lifted the baskets in their hands. "Then we'll head to the kitchen first; the groceries we bought are waiting for there."

Constellation and Saratoga watched as Emerald and Progress entered the kitchen.

"Saratoga, why don't you go help them wash the vegetables or something? I can manage on my own," Constellation said with a smile to Saratoga.

Saratoga nodded and followed Emerald and Progress into the kitchen. After watching Saratoga's figure disappear into the kitchen, Constellation slowly walked to Nia's room.

The constellation knocked on the door: "Is Admiral Nia in?"

The constellation stood there for a while, but no one answered.

Confused, the constellation knocked on the door again and waited for a while. Half a minute passed, but still no one answered.

"Could Admiral Nia be asleep too?" Constellation muttered to herself. After thinking for a while, she leaned down and leaned against the door, listening carefully to the sounds coming from the other side.

The ship girl's hearing is quite good. Even through a door, she can hear the sounds behind it if she wants to. Constellation closed her eyes and listened for a while.

The constellation originally thought that if it heard even breathing, it would mean that Nia was sleeping, and it could wait a while before coming back.
