Elder brother's garrison

As expected, breakfast was a long affair. After the Royal Oak Admiral came to demand someone, Xiao Bai lost his appetite. After thinking for a long time, the group decided to send the half-eaten food back to the kitchen.

After that, Xiaobai called Bismarck and Missouri, as well as Royal Oak, and led them straight to the Admiral's Guild.

The Royal Oak seems to be quite famous in the second chapter's sea area. In the past two days, the news of the Royal Oak running away from home has also been spread by someone. Now, after seeing the Royal Oak following Xiaobai and Nia Luolian, many admirals have cast surprised glances at it along the way.

At first, Royal Oak was a little uncomfortable with these piercing gazes, but fortunately, she had made up her mind. After enduring it for a while, Royal Oak began to get used to the somewhat intimidating looks from everyone.

At the entrance of the Admiral's Guild, Helena stood gazing out. When she saw Xiaobai and her group slowly walking towards her, Helena breathed a sigh of relief. Then, when Xiaobai and the others reached the entrance of the Admiral's Guild, she walked up to Xiaobai in her high heels and looked at her anxiously: "Admiral Lu Lin, you've finally arrived!"

"Good morning, Sister Helena," Xiaobai said with a smile to Helena.

"Good morning." Helena's brows furrowed with urgency. "The president needs to speak with you."

"Was it the former admiral of the Royal Oak who went to file a complaint?" Xiaobai asked, pointing to Helena behind him.

Helena nodded: "Yes, the president is taking her time, saying she'll wait for you to arrive. I'm worried you might suffer later."

President Er Gou had a fairly high initial level of affection for Xiao Bai. Because of this relationship, Helena unconsciously began to regard Xiao Bai as one of her own. When she saw Xiao Bai in trouble, she couldn't help but worry about him.

"Thank you for your concern, Sister Helena. We're alright," Xiaobai said. "May we come in?"

"Of course, I came to pick you up." Helena nodded, and then led Xiaobai and the other ship girls and admirals into the admiral's guild.

The first floor of the Admirals' Guild was filled with admirals who were handing over their missions, and the sounds of people were rising and falling.

Helena led Little White from the first floor to the third floor, where the noise level immediately dropped.

"Speaking of which, it seems like there are very few people after the third floor," Xiaobai asked Helena.

"Well, it's because the president stipulated that the third floor shouldn't be too noisy, so admirals who want to go up to the third floor have to fill out a form." Helena rubbed her forehead, looking helpless. "Thanks to her, my usual workload has increased by at least a third."

President Er Gou seems to be a very willful person.

"Don't I need to fill out any forms?" Xiaobai asked.

“Neither you nor Miss Nia need to.” Helena turned to Xiaobai and Nia with a smile, but her gaze shifted to Luo Lian. She raised an eyebrow slightly and asked with some curiosity, “Is this Miss Luo Lian? Are you Miss Nia’s friend?”

"Oh, I guess so. You know me?" Luo Lian pointed to herself.

“We know the admiral who broke the record in the first chapter,” Helena said with a smile. “When did Miss Luo Lian arrive in the second chapter?”

“A few days ago,” Luo Lian nodded, “but she hasn’t reported to the Admiral’s Guild since.”

"You need to get into the habit of reporting to the Admiral's Guild on time, otherwise Admiral Luo Lian won't get your pay. How about I process some paperwork for you later?"

"Oh, thank you for your help." Luo Lian nodded.

As they were talking, the three of them arrived at the lobby on the third floor.

The third-floor hall was quiet. The male admiral whose face had been slapped into a pig's head by Bismarck was standing in the center of the hall, followed by two or three ship girls. His swollen face made his eyes appear to be just slits, which made his gaze seem more vicious.

He heard footsteps and then turned to look at Xiaobai, Luoliania, and the other two.

On the sofa in the center of the hall, President Er Gou, whom we hadn't seen for several days, was leaning back with her legs crossed. She held a coffee cup, taking small sips of coffee while humming softly as she swallowed.

"There are fewer ship girls behind you now." As Xiaobai walked to President Ergou's side, Luo Lian looked at the ship girls behind the man and asked him.

"Of course! In my territory, there's no rule that an admiral can bring someone else's ship girl up to the third floor." President Er Gou put down his coffee cup, squinted at Luo Lian, and looked in her direction. "Hmm? Isn't this the new poor... admiral? So you, Little White, and Nia are family?"

"Nice to meet you." Luo Lian ignored the words "flat-chested" that Guild Leader Er Gou almost blurted out, bowed to her, and then cast a merciless glance at the man and the ship girls behind him. "So, not all those ship girls this morning were yours?"

The man ignored Luo Lian, pursed his lips, and stared silently at President Er Gou: "President, I only ask for fairness."

President Er Gou's words not only gave Luo Lian an opportunity to put him down, but also almost tacitly acknowledged that the Royal Oak behind Xiao Bai was Xiao Bai's ship girl. This is undoubtedly a bad attitude for a man.

"Don't worry, I'm super fair." President Er Gou reached out and tugged at his perfectly proportioned chest through his clothes. "The left and right sides are the same."

After saying that, Guild Master Er Gou turned to Xiao Bai and said, "Little Bai, you probably know why this person is looking for you, right?"

"Yes, I know." Xiaobai nodded.

"That's good, it saves a lot of trouble." President Er Gou lowered his hand from his chest.

"Royal Oak is nominally my ship girl. This admiral has imprisoned my ship girl on her territory. I request that the guild master order her to return Royal Oak to me," the man whose head had been slapped into a pig's head said to Guild Master Er Gou.

President Er Gou looked at Xiao Bai: "Yes, that's what he said."

“The Royal Oak was treated unfairly. She left her original garrison and came to me on her own initiative,” Xiaobai said.

President Er Gou looked at the man and said, "Yes, that's what she said."

“But her admiral is still me. Even if she wants to leave, she has to go through the proper procedures! I will not allow her to live with other admirals until her affiliation changes to another admiral!” the man said to Guild Master Er Gou.

"Yes, that's what he said." President Er Gou looked at Xiao Bai.

"President, please be serious." Helena frowned as she looked at President Er Gou's lazy and slouchy appearance.

"Ugh, you guys are asking me to be fair and serious at the same time, it's so hard for me," President Er Gou muttered. "One's a deadbeat and the other's a cute girl, if I get serious I'll definitely side with the little white girl."

Chapter 740 The Angry Guild Master Er Gou

President Er Gou made no attempt to lower her voice. She spread her hands and looked at Helena with a helpless expression, then spoke her mind.

The man whose head had been slapped in half by Bismarck froze instantly upon hearing Chairman Er Gou's words. He looked at Chairman Er Gou and said, "Chairman, I..."

"Stop." President Er Gou quickly raised his hand to stop the man from speaking. "Alright, alright, I know the gist of the situation. Don't worry, I'm super fair."

After saying this, President Er Gou looked at the Royal Oak behind Xiao Bai.

When Royal Oak was stared at by President Er Gou, she felt as if she were being watched by a wolf. She couldn't help but feel a premonition that she was being watched by a hunter in her sensitive areas such as her chest and thighs. She subconsciously moved to the side and stood behind Xiao Bai.

"I feel like your ship girl doesn't really like you," President Er Gou said to the man.

The man's face turned ashen: "But I am still her admiral."

"This looks terrible." President Er Gou said as he picked up his coffee cup and took a small sip.

"Is there anything wrong with the admiral asking the ship girls to stay by his side?"

"There are no mistakes." President Er Gou nodded. "After all, ship girls are meant to stay by the admiral's side."

Upon hearing Chairman Er Gou's words, the man's expression quickly softened.

Although Chairman Er Gou seems to favor the female admiral, he appears quite fair in judging matters.

"Then, Chairman, you..." A hint of victory had already appeared on the man's face.

Seeing the man's expression, President Er Gou smiled slightly. She turned to Xiao Bai and asked, "Speaking of which, Xiao Bai, did you bring that thing?"

"Yes, I brought it." Xiaobai nodded.

Under the man's gaze, Xiaobai walked up to President Ergou, took out a form that had been folded twice from his clothes, slowly unfolded it, and then handed it to President Ergou.

"This form is not supposed to be folded, but since you only folded it twice this time, we'll just pretend you didn't fold it at all. Don't do it again," President Er Gou instructed Xiao Bai.

"Ah, thank you, President Sister." Xiaobai nodded.

President Er Gou smiled and spread the form on his table, glancing at it for a few moments.

"President, what is this?" The man felt an extreme sense of crisis surge into his heart as he looked at Xiaobai and President Ergou being so intimate. He frowned and asked President Ergou.

"Application forms, huh?" President Er Gou said matter-of-factly, then gently placed the two forms on the table. "They're about ship girls switching sides."

The man was taken aback: "What watch?"

"To explain in detail, it's a form proving that you are no longer the admiral of your ship girl, but that she is the admiral of your ship girl," said President Er Gou.

The man's eyes widened instantly: "Why don't I know how you fill out this kind of form?"

"You're crazy. Of course, you don't need to notify the former admiral or get his consent and signature for such a sensitive form, although you'll be informed when the results come out." President Er Gou said as he put away the form in his hand. "You've been an admiral for so long and you don't even know this?"

The man stared blankly at Chairman Er Gou.

As an admiral, he has to fill out countless documents every day. Ordinary admirals don't have time to pay attention to obscure forms, so he really didn't know about the ship girl transfer form.

"The issue of ship girl ownership is of great importance and can only take effect after being reported to the governor of the relevant region!" the man said urgently to Guild Master Er Gou. "The Admiral's Guild should not have the authority to handle the issue of ship girl ownership!"

“This document does indeed need to be uploaded to the Governor for approval,” Chairman Er Gou nodded to the man.

"Until this document takes effect, Royal Oak will still be my ship girl!" the man said to President Er Gou.

“That makes sense,” said President Er Gou. “However, as this document was handed to me, for the sake of protecting the personal safety of the ship girls, you, as the former admiral, no longer have the right to demand that Royal Oak stay by your side.”

"That's impossible!" The man stared wide-eyed, somewhat bewildered, at President Er Gou.

"It's written in black and white. You have the Ship Girl Protection Law, right? Just go back and read it yourself." President Er Gou said, folding the form in his hand and handing it to Helena, who had walked up behind him.

"Alright. Everything's perfectly settled!" President Er Gou smiled and clasped her hands together as she said to the man, "The Royal Oak no longer needs to stay with you. You can go back now."

"You're abusing your position for personal gain!" The man pointed a trembling finger at Chairman Er Gou.

"Oh?" President Er Gou's smiling face paused for a moment. She squinted at the man and said slowly, "I think I'm quite fair, aren't I?"

The man pointed a trembling finger at Chairman Er Gou, his expression extremely awkward, but he really couldn't say anything else.

—Although President Er Gou always speaks in favor of Xiao Bai, when it comes to judging matters, he doesn't seem to really favor Xiao Bai at all.

Whether in terms of policy or regulations, President Er Gou was simply following the rules.

If there's anything to say about this, it's that President Er Gou's speed in handling matters for Xiao Bai far exceeds his speed in handling matters for this male admiral.

In reality, replacing admirals for ship girls is an extremely complicated and troublesome task. Even as the president of the admiral's guild, with the authority of President Er Gou, she couldn't handle these matters alone. After giving Missouri two application forms, President Er Gou canceled all her other work, made phone calls for a whole day and night, made dozens of backups of the documents, contacted all the departments she could reach in a short time, and filled out most of the documents she could handle. Only then could she achieve the extremely fast efficiency of processing the application form as soon as Xiao Bai submitted it this morning.

In reality, based on the past pace, if a ship girl really wanted to switch jobs and filled out a form, given the slow processing efficiency of President Er Gou, it would probably take more than half a month to barely process it, and then another two or three months before the job-switching application would officially take effect.

If we were to wait that long, the Royal Oak would have been taken back to its hometown by the former admiral long ago, and who knows what kind of mistreatment it would have suffered.

This was the only backdoor that President Er Gou opened for Xiao Bai.

However, this backdoor prevented others from even protesting.

After all, President Er Gou didn't do anything illegal or disorderly. She just suddenly had a change of heart and didn't want to slack off anymore. She just wanted to work properly. That's how fickle people are.

The man suppressed his anger, glaring at Chairman Er Gou and then at Xiao Bai. He gritted his teeth, and although he didn't say anything, his eyes were filled with all sorts of insults.

"Fine, if you say I'm biased, then so be it." President Er Gou finally sighed. "Then I'll show you how biased I can be."

As President Er Gou finished speaking, she gave a soft hum. Then, Helena, who was standing behind her, quickly pulled out a map from somewhere and handed it to President Er Gou.

"We're all admirals, what can't we resolve with a drill?" Chairman Er Gou said with a smile.

"An exercise??" the man exclaimed in surprise.

"Yeah, it's a drill." President Er Gou looked at Xiao Bai. "Little Bai, what do you think?"

Xiao Bai looked at President Er Gou's smiling face, thought for a while, and nodded.

Although President Er Gou seems unreliable, just like Mu Yu, she is, after all, the inventor of the constellation-building machine. Because of various reasons, Xiao Bai has developed a certain trust in this somewhat mysterious woman, President Er Gou, since her advice is certainly not meant to harm him.

—And when it comes to exercises, Xiaobai feels that he has a huge advantage, like a flying dragon charging right at his face.

"Let me see which area of ​​the sea is less crowded today." After Xiaobai agreed, President Er Gou said while looking at the map in his hand.

"Wait a minute!" the man said to President Er Gou, his face ashen. "Has this exercise decided the ownership of the Royal Oak?"

"I haven't decided yet," said President Er Gou.

"What benefits does the winner get?" the man asked.

"Hmm... It's satisfying to see the loser's face when they're eating their words?" Guild Master Er Gou asked疑惑地.

"I'm not participating!" the man said to President Er Gou with a livid face.

The men didn't know Xiaobai's strength as an admiral, but they knew very well Bismarck's strength from what the Royal Oak said, and even from when she slapped herself just now.

Those are definitely not ordinary ship girls; they are terrifying beings that my own ship girls could not possibly contend with. In a drill against an admiral who possesses such ship girls, I have no chance of anything other than defeat.

Am I crazy to be doing a drill with an admiral of this strength?

"Aren't you going to practice?" President Er Gou asked, frowning.

The man, his face flushed with anger, lowered his head.

"Oh." President Er Gou nodded. "That won't do, I've already chosen the venue."

The man jerked his head up, staring in shock at Chairman Er Gou, his small, slapped eyes wide with astonishment: "What?"

"What I mean is, you have to participate in today's exercise, whether you want to or not." President Er Gou slammed the map on the table. "Helena!"

"President, I'm here."

"Spread the word about the exercise! Tell all the admirals still alive in Chapter Two to come and watch! Every admiral who comes to watch will be compensated with 10,000 merit points. Anyone who doesn't come, prepare a 100,000-word leave request and a certificate of severe disability from the hospital! If you're missing either of these, don't even think about stepping into my Admiral's Guild this week!"

"Helena understands." Helena glanced at the man with a gentle smile, then gracefully left.

Has Chapter 741 begun? No, it's already over.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Helena walked into the office on the third floor with a smile. A moment later, Xiaobai and the man present received two text messages on their phones.
