Elder brother's garrison

Just then, Lexington brought a cup of hot tea to Xiaobai and bent down to gently place the cup on Xiaobai's table.

The emerald green tea rippled in the purple clay cup, as beautiful as a cup of melted jade.

"Ah, thank you, Lexington."

Xiao Bai picked up the teacup and took a gentle sip.

As the tea slid down Xiaobai's throat, a very mature and refreshing aroma, accompanied by a slightly bitter taste, lingered on the tip of his tongue.

Ok.

A bit bitter.

Xiao Bai looked at the teacup in his hand with a subtle expression, thinking that if he were thirteen or fourteen years older, he might like it.

Although Xiaobai didn't particularly like the tea, he found it quite interesting to watch Lexington brew the tea.

It must be said that when a beautiful and dignified woman performs tea ceremony, she naturally possesses a magical power that can put the audience at ease.

"tasty?"

"Uh...it really smells very mature." Xiaobai stuck out her tongue and smiled awkwardly at Lexington. She picked up a pen, quickly scribbled a few lines on the form on the table, and handed it to Lexington. "Lexington, the Missouri and return procedures and the Wisconsin Odin's onboarding form are all filled out."

"Hmm." Lexington nodded, picked up the watch that Xiaobai handed her, glanced at it, and said, "Received it, everything is perfect."

After Lexington finished speaking, she put the form that Xiaobai had filled out into the secretary ship's folder.

Xiao Bai looked at Lexington's smiling profile, then looked her over from head to toe.

Although Lexington always gave Xiaobai a calm and collected impression, she was actually very busy and had little leisure time. This time when Xiaobai came back, Lexington actually had time to perform tea ceremony and brew tea for her.

"Oh, right, Lexington."

"Ok?"

"Is Saratoga not with you today?"

“Ah… Jiajia.” Lexington laughed. “That child went out to play with her friends today.”

"Oh—" Xiaobai suddenly felt a tightness in her chest. She exhaled and subtly put down her teacup. "With whom?"

Tirpitz.

"Ah... I see. Then it's alright... Is there a comic convention in the city today?"

"Little White, you're very well-informed." Lexington covered her mouth and smiled at Little White. "It's like this, not only Jaja, but Tirpitz also invited quite a few of her sisters to go together."

“…Well, I can’t think of any other reason why Tirpitz would go out except for a comic convention.” Shiro smiled subtly and put down his teacup.

Lexington smiled as he looked at Little White.

"Xiao Bai, you should really rest today."

"Oh? I'm fine, I can get back to work right away."

"As for work, I don't know why, but lately we've been receiving fewer and fewer communication documents from other naval bases, so life has been quite leisurely. Even I can handle things easily on my own. You don't need to rush into work, Xiaobai."

"The sooner I finish, the sooner I can rest, and besides, I don't have anything to do right now."

"Is something the matter?"

Lexington bent down, smiling, and gently touched Xiaobai's lips with her finger. Then, under Xiaobai's gaze, she pointed the finger at Odin behind her, who was sitting on the office sofa, slurping tea. "Favoritism isn't good, Admiral. Even Wisconsin, a fellow newcomer, has a guide. You'd better do a good job of showing Miss Odin around the naval base."

"Ah! I'm so sorry, I didn't think of that..."

"It's alright, go ahead."

"Okay, I understand! I'll take Miss Odin for a stroll right away!"

"Bon Voyage."

"Ok!"

The sound of footsteps gradually disappeared at the end of the corridor after Little White took Odin's little hand and left.

Lexington maintained his waving gesture, smiling as he looked at the office door, silently observing for a while.

for a long time.

Lexington lowered her hand, lost in thought with some distress. She lowered her head, gently picked up the hot tea on the small white table, closed her eyes, took a small sip, and savored it quite carefully.

Xiaobai doesn't seem to like drinking this...

"Is there something wrong with this tea?"

"..."

"We should open a coffee shop in the naval base..."

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. 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. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

As always, Lexington favored and doted on Xiaobai, who was given an extra day off. Xiaobai chatted with Odin as he walked out of the office building.

As soon as Xiaobai stepped out of the office building, he saw Shenhai Yamato, dressed in a new maid outfit, happily humming a song and skipping towards him.

After being attacked by ship girls from other naval bases, Abyssal Yamato's standard maid outfit was reduced to shreds. So, until a new maid outfit is made, the one she is currently wearing is one of the more conservative designs she previously created for Richelieu.

However, being conservative is relative.

No matter what, Yamato Shinkai is a newcomer deeply influenced by anime culture. The clothes she designs, no matter how conservative, are still little skirts and boots with lace patterns that partially reveal her breasts. This tight black and white outfit, combined with Yamato Shinkai's already quite fit figure, has a wonderful sense of dynamism and is quite pleasing to the eye.

"Yamato-neechan!" Shiro waved to the bouncing, deep-sea Yamato.

Hearing Shiro's voice from afar, Yamato stopped her hopping and turned to look at Shiro.

"Oh! It's Little White! Little—White—"

Deep Sea Yamato looked at Shiro with some surprise, waved, and quickly walked to Shiro's side. He reached out, picked Shiro up, spun him around several times, and then put him down. "You're back!"

"Hello, Yamato-neechan, good afternoon!"

"Hehehe~ It's good that you're back."

Yamato put Shiro down, her face beaming with a sweet smile, as if she had just eaten candy.

"Did something good happen to Yamato-neechan today? She looks so happy!"

"Oh, Xiaobai noticed that? Missouri gave me a six-month supply of game points! Oh dear—I was a bit short on cash lately, but thank goodness Missouri gave me the points today, otherwise I wouldn't be able to afford to play games starting next month."

"Ah... Yamato-neechan, isn't your salary very high?"

"...Shiro, you're still young, you don't understand. Actually, raising a little sister who never stops eating snacks is very expensive." When Fukami Yamato said this, his expression became slightly weary, as if he was recalling some unbearable past.

"...Um...Speaking of Musashi, wasn't Musashi with Yamato-neechan today?"

"Musashi? Well, this morning she, Richelieu, Pachina, and a few others were taken out by Tirpitz."

"Huh, they went out too?" Xiaobai was taken aback.

"Yeah, they're all so secretive. I asked them, but they wouldn't tell me what they were going to do." Yamato shrugged, expertly swung the mop handle in his hand, and slung it over his shoulder. "Now I'm the only one left in our maid troupe."

"Oh! Bismarck and Tirpitz from the Deep Sea have left too?" Little White asked, clapping his hands.

"correct."

"That's strange."

"That's it."

In the past, when Shiro stayed in the newbie naval base, these ship girls were generally unwilling to leave. But today, not only did the perpetually shut-in Tirpitz leave with Saratoga, but most of the maids in the newbie naval base also ran away.

Logically speaking, these people shouldn't usually travel together...

“Speaking of which, Saratoga isn’t with Lexington today either,” Shiro said to Yamato.

“Saratoga, I saw her leave with Tirpitz.” Abyssal Yamato said to Shiro, “There are quite a few other ship girls too, um… like CV16 and Essex from before, and Royal Oak also went with them.”

"They went too?"

"Yeah, I think I also saw that CV16 took so many comic books with her before she left. What were they going to do with them..."

"Oh, I see..." Xiaobai nodded, "Tirpitz is probably only going to the comic convention..."

……

……

……

Ok?

Comic Con?

Xiao Bai frowned, realizing that things weren't so simple.

Chapter 989 The wait is long

Comic convention.

For Xiaobai, her first experience with comic conventions was when she had just become an admiral and went to Yuxiu to work as a teacher.

That comic convention was also the first time that Xiaobai had a deep mutual understanding with the cold-faced witch Tirpitz.

Through that comic convention, Xiaobai learned that Tirpitz would actually go out on her own initiative, that she was a girl who really liked this kind of culture, and that Tirpitz loved playing games, was highly skilled, and had a stable mindset.

more important.

Xiao Bai learned about it at that comic convention.

Tirpitz actually secretly draws some H-themed Kantai Collection manga featuring herself as the protagonist.

Now that Tirpitz has led so many ship girls to disappear, and after hearing about the numerous manga descriptions from Abyssal Yamato, Shiro is feeling extremely panicked.

A painful memory began to surface uncontrollably in Xiaobai's mind.

No.

This is not a good sign.

Even a novice has a temper.

There are limits to how much you can tolerate ship girls.

This time, I absolutely cannot draw myself as the heroine of a yuri (lesbian) comic!

Under the watchful eyes of Odin and Yamato, Shiro, who had been chatting peacefully just a few seconds ago, suddenly became alert after Yamato finished talking about CV16 and the comic book, and after a short period of contemplation.

Little White's eyebrows were raised high, his cheeks puffed out, and he was breathing heavily through his nose, looking like a judge about to wield a machine gun of justice and deliver a verdict.

"Little White Sister? What's wrong?"

Seeing Shiro's sudden expression of alarm, Yamato asked with some concern.

"Ah, Yamato-neechan... I'm fine." Shiro shook her head, raised her hand to rub her face, and then looked at Deepsea Yamato with a very determined expression. "By the way, Yamato-neechan, do you know where the manga convention is in the city?"

"Comic conventions... um... I think I heard there was one in the city center a while ago, but the location... I didn't pay attention... What, little white girl, are you interested in comic conventions?" Yamato Akami asked, one hand on her hip.

"...My sixth sense tells me that if I don't go to the comic convention to check now, I might regret it..." A weary smile appeared on Xiaobai's face. She turned her head to look at Odin beside her. "Odin, um... this is a rare opportunity. Can we go to the city for a bit?"

“Hmm, no problem.” Odin gave an OK sign. “Although I’m not very familiar with it, I’ve done some sourcing for convenience stores in human society before, so at least I won’t embarrass the admiral.”

"Thank you, Odin." Little White nodded gratefully to Odin.

"Yamato-neechan, I'll be going now!"

"Okay, come back soon." Yamato Fukami smiled and waved.

Little White took Odin's hand, said goodbye to Deep Sea Yamato, and ran straight towards the gate of the naval base.

Seeing Xiaobai's hurried and puffed-up appearance, Odin didn't question the meaning of Xiaobai's behavior along the way. She obediently stayed by Xiaobai's side, letting Xiaobai take her to the city center in a taxi under the pretext of showing her around the city.

In the blink of an eye, the taxi entered the city center.

Xiaobai and Odin got off the car by the roadside.

The city where the newbie naval base is located is not small. Even if it is not a first-tier city, it is definitely a second-tier city. Compared with the naval base, which is always very quiet, the city center is full of pedestrians like an endless tide, constantly coming and going on the sidewalks. Cars are coming and going on the concrete road. Amid the noise of people, Odin can see a sea of ​​black heads, a dark mass.

"Wow, there are so many people," Odin couldn't help but exclaim.

“Yeah.” Little White said from behind Odin, taking out his phone and starting to fiddle with it.

Odin turned around and looked at Xiaobai, who was playing with her phone with her head down. Her eyes darted around, and she turned to Xiaobai and asked, "I have experience surviving in human society. If you want to go to that place called Comic Con, let me ask you for the address."

"what?"

"Don't worry, it'll be quick. I'm very good at gathering information." Odin patted his chest, revealing a confident expression that said, "You definitely won't regret having me with you."

"Ah... Odin, no need..."
