Elder brother's garrison

Her agreement to accompany him on the expedition might have been merely a fleeting thought, a rare occurrence in his life when a powerful figure might wish to travel incognito.

Just like that sir in the first chapter.

She saved herself, and she saved the admiral and the ship girls of the entire first chapter.

She let roses carpet the ravaged battlefield and let the cheers of victory drown out the ocean.

Then she disappeared.

She returned to her admiral's side, back to her own world, and disappeared from then on, leaving behind a silhouette that she could never catch up with.

Chapter 796 Sparkling

This principle was not only understood by Koei, but also by the ship girls behind him.

"Miss Patina, thank you," Glory said to Little White.

The ship girls behind Glorious also sincerely thanked Shiro.

Little White returned the greetings one by one, especially when facing York, where Little White showed York a more friendly smile.

Xiaobai has some special feelings for this ship girl who has a more prominent role in many ways.

"Sister York."

“…Hmm.” York lowered his head, looking dejected.

"Go for it!" After thinking for a while, Xiaobai made a cheering gesture to York.

York nodded silently to Little White.

Xiao Bai took one last look at Guang Rong and the others, staring at them for a long time without saying anything more.

Finally, Xiaobai, clutching the deep-sea supply ship in his arms, slowly backed away, disappearing into the crowded throng behind him, and headed towards the city.

York stared intently as Xiaobai's body slowly squeezed into the crowd and disappeared.

Suddenly, a strange emptiness arose in her heart.

York couldn't quite describe what that feeling was like.

York had met many people in his life, only once, but none of them had ever given him this subtle feeling upon leaving.

I feel a little lost, a little empty, a little wronged, and a little abandoned.

—Sobbing, I really want to cry.

"York." Glory's hand stroked York's head, her gentle fingers weaving through York's hair, the perfect pressure causing York to unconsciously squint his eyes.

"Glorious Sister, will we ever see Miss Patina again?"

Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?

"Let's listen to the fake one first."

"Probably not."

"So really?"

"Definitely not."

"..." York felt that Glorious Sister was less considerate than before today.

It's just that some of her past mistakes were exposed, why are you still holding a grudge?

The person in question is clearly feeling down.

Instead of offering comfort, all they do is deliver the final blow.

I'm so angry!

"A seemingly reserved but actually quite shrewish older sister, with a narrow mind."

"Silly sister, you idiot."

"Pfft." York didn't expect that he would be the one being scolded, but instead he would be amused by Glorious and burst out laughing. "Sis."

"Ok?"

"Miss Patina, is it possible for you to join our naval base?"

"Our admiral still wants to live; he doesn't want to die young."

“Oh.” York looked down at the beach. “Then there’s no chance.”

“Yes.” Glory nodded.

“…Miss Patina wore breast pads.”

"...Yes, I've mentioned this before."

"But there's something I haven't said."

"what is the matter?"

“While you were lying dead on the sea, I actually went to check it out again,” York said, looking up at Glory. “Actually, Miss Patina probably wore two layers of breast padding.”

"..."

"Doesn't she find this boring?" York asked himself.

"..."

"Double-layer breast pads".

"..."

"That's really ruthless."

"Pfft." Glory also chuckled and gently slapped York's head. "Why is your brain always working so fast? Why didn't you get knocked out by that thing with us?"

"How would I know? I just felt the wind was quite cool."

"So you mean we're too bad?"

York stood with his hands on his hips.

Glory continued to gently rub York's head, and the two of them suddenly fell silent.

Then York's eyes reddened, she pouted, and her eyes immediately filled with tears.

Glory stepped forward, pulled York into his arms, and gently patted her back.

Amidst the throng of people, Luo Yin, looking somewhat nervous, emerged from the crowd while pressing his hat against his head. As soon as he came out, he saw York and Glory embracing each other.

"Phew." Luo Yin breathed a sigh of relief at Guang Rong. "You guys are back."

"I encountered some difficult situations and just barely escaped with my life."

"Uh...no, it's good that you're not hurt..."

"It is because of my lack of ability that I have failed to meet your expectations. I am very sorry." Glory said to Luo Yin while holding York.

“Hmm.” Luo Yin waved his hand, his gaze lingering on York. “York, she…”

"I'm so bad at this!" York wailed in Glorious's arms.

"..."

As a typical straight man, Luo Yin found the strange atmosphere somewhat incomprehensible. He looked around but didn't see Xiao Bai, and couldn't help but wonder, "Glory, where is that guy?"

“Miss Patina? She has already gone back.”

"Oh, I see." Luo Yin nodded, her expression finally relaxing. "It's good that nothing happened. It's good that nothing happened."

Luo Yin repeated it twice, which was unusual for him.

"Admiral, Miss Patina, she was originally..."

"Hmm, stop talking, I understand." Luo Yin gave him an "I understand" look. "So you figured it out too?"

"Huh???" Glory was stunned. "What?"

"That's the essence." Luo Yin seemed quite satisfied with Guang Rong's bewildered expression. "Guang Rong, your level is even higher than mine."

"Huh?" Glory looked at Luo Yin's reaction with great surprise.

She seemed to sense that Luo Yin knew something about Xiao Bai.

In Glorious's eyes, Luo Yin gazed at the sea in the distance with a strange, weathered expression.

Just as Skirt II was about to ask something, Luo Yin suddenly opened his mouth.

“Ignorance is bliss, indeed.” Luo Yin’s voice revealed a strong will to survive.

"..."

"Admiral, do you... know Miss Patina?"

“What are you talking about? I don’t know him, I don’t know anything about him.” Luo Yin shook his head and said with unwavering determination, “I don’t know anything about him.”

"..." Glory stared at Luo Yin.

Luo Yin closed his eyes, avoiding eye contact with Glory, and extended his hand: "Speaking of which, did you encounter a particularly dangerous situation today?"

That's an incredibly awkward technique for changing the subject.

Glory patted Yorke on the back and sighed helplessly.

"It's a nine-out-of-ten chance of death," York said.

Luo Yin was taken aback: "That dangerous?"

"Well. It's not convenient to go into details here," Glory said to Luo Yin.

Luo Yin looked around. There were admirals queuing up and ship girls resting. Besides him, there were also many people reviewing the battle with their badly damaged ship girls, so he was not very conspicuous.

In this situation, Glory is still worried about being overheard; it seems this matter is not simple.

Luo Yin thought for a moment, then stretched out his hand to Glorious and said, "Glorious, I'll release the Admiral's Network to check your ship equipment."

"Okay." Glory nodded.

After leaving the first chapter, Luo Yin took the opportunity, after fully preparing himself mentally, to take the nerve potion and unlock the Admiral Network.

Luo Yin focused his attention slightly, and a small layer of admiral network emerged from his body, slowly connecting to Glorious Ship Equipment.

"The ship's equipment is in good condition, there are no problems." Luo Yin nodded to Glorious, and then the admiral connected to the ship girl behind Glorious through the network. He checked their ship equipment one by one, and after concluding that they were all in good condition, Luo Yin turned his attention to York in Glorious's arms.

Following Luo Yin's thoughts, the Admiral's network extended towards York, slowly attaching York's ship equipment.

For admirals who have access to the admiral network, this is a very normal thing. Admirals use the admiral network to search for ship girls' equipment, judge the completeness of the ship girls' equipment, and then decide whether the ship girls need to spend money on fast repair or go through the repair pool based on the search results.

However, such a simple action went wrong.

Just as Luo Yin's admiral network came into contact with York's ship equipment as usual, Luo Yin, whose expression had been normal before, suddenly shuddered as if something had hit him hard on the head, and then covered his head in great pain.

The invisible network of admirals was also quickly withdrawn from York.

"Hiss!" Luo Yin covered his head, squatted down on the ground, and suppressed groans of pain escaped from between his teeth.

Whether it was Glorious, the other ship girls, or even York herself, everyone was stunned by their admiral's reaction.

"Admiral?? Admiral, what's wrong!" Glorious rushed to Luo Yin's side and asked him anxiously.

Luo Yin gritted his teeth, and beads of cold sweat trickled from the bridge of his nose. He squinted his eyes, seemingly enduring considerable pain.

“…So cold…” Luo Yin stammered out the word.

York stared, mouth agape, at Luo Yin, who was crouching on the ground after being contacted through the Admiral's network, somewhat bewildered: "Admiral... what happened?"

Luo Yin gritted his teeth and kept breathing. With Glory's help, he rested on the ground for a long time before his tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

"Hiss—" Luo Yin gasped for breath, then looked at York with a dazed expression.

"Admiral... what's wrong?" York was a little startled by Luo Yin's reaction.

"Impossible...why..." Luo Yin murmured, his brows furrowed, feeling a mix of wanting to cry and wanting to laugh.

The moment Luo Yin came into contact with the York ship's equipment, he felt as if he had encountered an extremely cold fortress.

The section of the admiral's network that he had just released collapsed instantly, fleeing back into his body as if for his life. His head was still throbbing with pain.

After a long while, Luo Yin, who had been squatting on the ground talking to himself for a long time, finally raised his head and looked at York.

York.

"Ah! Admiral, I'm here!"
