Elder brother's garrison

"Ah...how did you know?"

"Yes." Bai Ying pointed to Missouri and Wisconsin standing at the door.

"...Yes, I am the admiral."

"It's been a long time since anyone came to see me." Bai Ying looked at Xiao Bai. "What does the Admiral want with me?"

"...Um...I've encountered a problem and wanted to ask."

"Just ask."

"Why are you so young?" Xiaobai asked earnestly, her eyes filled with a strong thirst for knowledge.

"..." Bai Ying blinked.

"Ah, no, no, that's not what I was asking about." Xiaobai realized what was going on and quickly shook her head, saying somewhat flusteredly, "It's like this, Sister Bai, do you remember that a long time ago you left a construction device at the fortress by the sea?"

"Ah...that's good." Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. "Sister Bai, where did you find that construction device?"

Bai Ying watched as Xiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest in satisfaction, her gaze lingering on Xiao Bai's fingertips for a moment.

"...How old are you this year?" Bai Ying didn't answer Xiao Bai's question, but instead asked Xiao Bai in return.

"what?"

"age."

"Uh... I'm probably... almost seventeen..."

"Oh." Bai Ying glanced deeply out the window, her gaze somewhat profound. "...You're only seventeen."

Bai Ying's sweet and delicate voice was filled with the vicissitudes of life she had experienced.

"...???" Xiaobai looked completely confused.

Bai Ying's eyes turned towards Xiao Bai.

"That construction device was given to me by a ship girl who happened to wander here a long, long time ago."

"Kanmusume?"

"Ah."

"Could you tell me the name of that ship girl?"

"Her name is Odin."

Chapter 966 Chairman Bai

“Odin…” Xiaobai subconsciously repeated the sentence after Bai Ying.

Although anyone could easily guess that Odin, the ship girl, was no ordinary person given the name Bai Ying mentioned in this setting, Xiao Bai still had no recollection of the name.

What kind of ship is Odin?

Xiaobai was very confused.

As a rookie admiral of a naval base, Xiaobai can't say she's seen all the ship girls in the world, but she recognizes about 80-90% of the ship girls who have been logged in. As for the remaining ship girls in the rookie naval base, she doesn't have any yet, and she's only looked at them in the ship girl encyclopedia out of curiosity.

Even so, this was the first time Xiaobai had ever heard the ship name Odin.

"What kind of ship girl is Odin?" Xiaobai asked Baiying.

"I can't quite remember her appearance. Besides, so much time has passed. Even if a ship girl's appearance doesn't change with age, her temperament and image are very likely to be completely different from what I saw back then." Bai Ying asked Xiao Bai, "Are you looking for her?"

"Uh... um," Little White squeaked.

Xiao Bai herself didn't really care; she was used to ignoring minor issues in life. But the deep-sea will in her spiritual world insisted that she investigate the truth of the matter.

"I see." Bai Ying's gaze lingered on Xiao Bai's face for a while.

Bai Ying's gaze was very deep and calm. Although it was not a particularly oppressive look, it carried a very special elder's aura that made Xiao Bai feel a little unable to lift his head.

"Speaking of which, why did you come to me to ask about the origin of the construction device?" Bai Ying asked.

"Because the construction device recently created a ship girl," Xiaobai replied.

"..." Bai Ying didn't speak, her eyes filled with doubt.

"Ah, that's right. The construction device was accidentally operated, otherwise it would have been sitting in the basement collecting dust forever," Xiaobai explained.

"Oh." Bai Ying nodded lightly, as if skimming the water.

"...Um, speaking of which, where did the ship girl named Odin go later?" Xiaobai asked.

"If nothing unexpected had happened, she would be in the first chapter now."

"Oh, I see. Thank you." Xiaobai got up from the bedside and bowed to Bai Ying, who was leaning against the headboard.

Bai Ying calmly watched Xiao Bai bow to her, without saying a word from beginning to end.

After bowing, Xiao Bai looked at Bai Ying, who looked as young as a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, and a strong sense of curiosity welled up in his eyes.

"Ah...right, um...Sister Bai, why do you...appear..."

“I was born this way, and my appearance will not change,” Bai Ying said to Xiao Bai.

"Uh?"

"Have a safe journey." Bai Ying suddenly curled her lips into a faint smile, her calm face revealing a hint of amusement. "Until we meet again."

Basically, that's a way of telling them to leave.

“…Oh.” Although Xiaobai was very curious about Bai Ying’s last sentence, she felt embarrassed to continue asking questions out of personal curiosity, since Bai Ying had answered her questions without reservation before.

After thanking Bai Ying again, Xiao Bai left the room.

Outside the room, the nurse who had said she would wait for Xiaobai at the door was staring at Xiaobai with wide eyes, as if she had seen some kind of demon or monster.

"You actually...successfully communicated with her..." The nurse murmured as she looked at Xiaobai, her expression one of disbelief and shock.

"what?"

"She has a terrible temper and often gets inexplicably angry. Even we don't dare to talk to her casually, let alone other strangers... It's already a miracle if she doesn't hit us. I never expected that you could... communicate with her so normally..." The nurse covered her mouth, looking completely shocked and at a loss for what to do.

"Ah..." Xiaobai looked at the nurse with some confusion, "Isn't Sister Bai very gentle..."

"Uh...maybe she's in a particularly good mood today..." The nurse seemed to have something on her mind, as if she was afraid that the people in the room would hear her talking behind her back. After hesitating for a while, the nurse shook her head helplessly. "Anyway, you should leave as soon as possible."

"oh oh……"

As if they were being ushered out, Xiaobai and the others were escorted by the nurse to the elevator, and then boarded the elevator under the nurse's watchful gaze.

As the elevator doors closed, Ella, who was next to Xiaobai, suddenly tugged at Xiaobai's sleeve and said to him with great surprise, "Xiaobai! That person has the same hair and eye color as you!"

"Haha... But mine is something I developed later in life, while other people's is something they were born with... Maybe."

"It's okay, Xiaobai, you look even better like this." Ella snuggled up to Xiaobai and chuckled. "But speaking of which, that guild master from five generations ago didn't seem to be human."

"Mm." Xiaobai nodded.

—Leaving aside the fact that she can still maintain such an adorable appearance at the age of a hundred, the fact that Bai Ying herself just said that her appearance has never changed since birth basically proves that she is not human.

He's not human, yet he's been able to serve as the head of a city protecting humans for so long...

It seems a lot happened in this city eighty years ago...

Thinking of this, Xiaobai shook his head helplessly.

That Sister Bai... she's such a fascinating person...

"Little White, where are you going later?"

"Hmm... Anyway, I want to go to the first chapter again."

"Ah, then I'll do it too..."

"No, Ella, you have to go home."

"Woooooooo..."

"Oh, right... I'm planning to visit you sometime soon, um... is that alright?"

"Okay! Okay! Bring whoever you want! I'll go home and get ready right away!!!"

After watching Xiaobai and the others enter the elevator, the nurse finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had just survived a tribulation. She patted her ample chest, hugged the folder in her hand, and walked back into the corridor.

In the corridor, many nurses were standing in a corner, whispering among themselves as they looked at the elevator.

"See that...those people weren't hit..."

"I had a normal chat and communication with that person..."

"That white-haired girl seems to be very pampered. I just saw Miss Bai pat her head."

The nurses exchanged information with expressions of surprise.

The nurse who escorted Xiaobai away looked at the group of nurses with a helpless expression and coughed lightly.

"Stop talking and get back to work in peace."

"That person doesn't like loud noise."

At the nurse's prompting, the other nurses shut their mouths and quickly walked off in their respective directions.

The nurse looked somewhat helpless. She glanced at her watch and, realizing it was almost time, quickened her pace and walked toward a small room in the corridor.

A few minutes later, a nurse carrying a plate of lunch walked out of the room and slowly walked towards Bai Ying's room. She pushed open the door and slowly entered the room.

"Miss Bai, lunch..."

"boom!!!"

In Bai Ying's room, before the nurse could finish speaking, an even louder and more deafening cannon blast suddenly erupted from inside.

The loud sound echoed out of the white building, reverberating around the elderly couple who were playing chess and chatting in the garden.

"Is Bai Ying angry again?"

"Well, what else?"

"That little girl, she's over eighty years old, and she still doesn't know how to control her temper."

"Who are you calling 'little girl'? She's older than all of us combined."

"Tsk, still has the face of a young girl."

"Who was it back then, squatting at the fortress gate every day, chasing after President Bai with roses in his mouth? You shameless bastard."

"Stop messing around, stop messing around, let's play our game and keep playing chess."

"East, West, South, North, and the bar!"

"..."

Inside the white-collar building.

Then, a loud thud came from the small wooden door.

The next second, sawdust flew everywhere.

A woman's body, wrapped in a white nurse's uniform, flew out of the room in a flash, turning into a black shadow, and crashed into the wall of the corridor with a thud.

The tremor spread throughout the corridor in an instant, and the cement on the walls cracked, with dried cement powder falling off to reveal the gleaming iron plate underneath.

The iron plate was already somewhat dented.

The woman who was kicked out of the room slowly fell from the wall to the ground and quickly and decisively lost consciousness.

Ship rigging debris was scattered all around the woman, and her once intact nurse's uniform was now tattered into pieces, revealing the nurse's full, snow-white body.

The nurse is a ship girl.

The sound of running footsteps echoed around the corridor. The other nurses rushed to Bai Ying's room and skillfully picked up the unconscious nurse. They picked up the ship equipment fragments scattered on the ground, and several nurses took out their brushes and paint and started painting directly on the exposed steel plates on the wall.

The nurses were working skillfully.

It was as if everything was just their daily routine.

Extremely skilled.

A nurse who had finished tidying up the room glanced quietly at Bai Ying's room.

Bai Ying's room is still the same as it was before Xiao Bai came.

It was clean and tidy, with a gentle breeze and sunshine on my face.
