Elder brother's garrison

Feeling the weight in his hand, Xiaobai swung the blade slightly in mid-air.

The tip of the knife flashed with a somewhat dazzling light in mid-air as Xiaobai swayed.

As the blade sliced ​​through the air, the dust floating in the sunlight seemed to be stung, and at the very first moment the blade touched it, it scattered in all directions.

This scene naturally did not escape Xiaobai's eyes.

This knife...

It might be a treasured sword!

As Xiaobai pondered this, he held the knife horizontally in front of him once more.

This sword seems to be made entirely of metal, giving it a particularly heavy feel. If Xiaobai didn't now possess the power of a ship girl, she wouldn't have the strength to swing this sword so easily.

Xiao Bai turned the blade to the side, brought it close to his eyes, and looked it over and over, trying to find any traces of military markings.

After observing it carefully for a while, Xiaobai realized that the military knife in front of him was a single piece, with no carving marks on either the blade or the handle.

“There’s no trace…then it seems…it might not be Governor Mu Yu’s sword…” Xiao Bai raised the sword in her hand high into the air. “But where did Sister Bai Ying get this sword from…and it’s quite dangerous to leave the sword unsheathed…”

Thinking about how he had sat on something so dangerous before, Xiaobai felt subtly uncomfortable.

"Hmm... I'll tell Sister Bai Ying later that I'll buy a scabbard for this knife."

"Speaking of which... what kind of metal is this... it looks like iron... but it doesn't look like iron..."

Xiao Bai stretched out her finger and gently touched the side of the blade.

"Um……"

Little White approached the blade and licked it with its tongue.

"Well……"

Xiao Bai opened its mouth and gently bit the blade with its teeth.

"Oh...this familiar touch..." Xiaobai's eyes widened in surprise.

"boom!"

Suddenly, just as Xiaobai was fully focused on feeling the material of the knife, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open with a loud bang like thunder.

Xiao Bai, who was doing something wrong, was startled by the sound of the door opening, and his shoulders trembled. He subconsciously tightened his teeth slightly.

"Crack!!"

Then, Xiaobai bit off a piece of "military knife" from its mouth.

Clang!

The knife, which had been bitten in half, fell to the ground with a thud.

"……"saber.

The beautiful military knife gleamed in the sunlight reflected off the ground.

The blade is perfectly straight.

Bright and elegant.

Simple and elegant.

Only the tip of the knife is missing.

Only a string of wavy teeth marks remained, constantly demonstrating a strong sense of presence.

At the doorway, Bai Ying, her clothes disheveled, stared blankly at the military knife lying on the ground.

"..." Xiao Bai looked at Bai Ying with a pale face, "Bai... Sister Bai Ying... I... I... Please let me explain..."

"……Alas……"

"……Alas……"

“...Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!”

Bai Ying's scream, as if her heart had been bitten, echoed throughout the entire courtyard.

Chapter 1020 A Twisted Fate

There is a saying in this world.

That is, any behavior made by a thinking human being is basically a choice made by the individual when faced with a decision.

For example, early in the morning, when a person wakes up groggily from a sweet dream, lying in a warm bed, the moment she squeezes open her sleepy eyes, this young lady will face the first choice of her day.

Today, am I choosing to lie in bed and happily slack off all day?

Or should I continue to work diligently as a corporate slave?

Weigh the pros and cons and think carefully.

Whether one continues to lie in bed, or washes up, eats, or goes to work, these are all physical actions that occur after the person has made their choice.

Such choices, from major decisions like starting a family and building a career to minor ones like skipping work or slacking off, and even small choices like whether to add sausage or an egg to instant noodles, are all present throughout a person's life, until death.

Faced with so many choices in life, life may seem quite miserable at first glance, but in reality, daily human life is not that troublesome.

Because most choices in life are similar or even identical, people generally make those choices subconsciously based on their habits.

For example, super-rich people would never hesitate to add sausage and eggs to their instant noodles.

Over the past six months, Xiaobai has encountered a considerable amount of deep-sea metals due to various wondrous experiences.

Among the metals that Xiaobai has handled are those from Deep Sea Musashi, Deep Sea Pachina, Deep Sea Bismarck, and Deep Sea Tirpitz. Besides Deep Sea metals, Xiaobai has also handled other strange things such as Sukhbaatar ship equipment fragments, Odin ship equipment biscuits, and Deep Sea Yamato's small horns.

Because of this experience, recently, whenever Xiaobai comes into contact with a similar metallic object, she is more accustomed to touching it with her mouth rather than touching it with her hands.

—Yes, it really is subconscious.

After all, in the subconscious of today's novices, just like when they grab a military knife, they hold the handle with both hands instead of the blade, putting metal in their mouths has become a pretty natural thing.

It's definitely not a case of a novice suddenly becoming curious about the taste of this knife after seeing its beautiful, streamlined blade.

Really.

After all, no matter how unreasonable Xiaobai is, he still knows that this thing doesn't belong to him.

At that time, Xiaobai was holding the knife and curiously stuck out his tongue.

Lick it.

Twist it.

Take a soak.

Then, Xiaobai used his teeth to feel the hardness of the blade, and a familiar sensation flashed through his mind.

Logically speaking, since Xiaobai has already given some clues with his mouth, he should have let go of his mouth.

But at that moment, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open, and Bai Ying, disheveled and in a flustered manner, rushed in from outside, startling Xiao Bai so much that she trembled all over.

Then tragedy struck.

Startled, Xiaobai instinctively closed his mouth, and with a slight, unintentional effort, bit off a small piece of tooth-marked metal from the gleaming, one-piece military knife.

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.

in the room.

Attracted by Bai Ying's scream, Akagi sat in a chair, looking at Xiaobai with a helpless expression, not knowing what to say.

"Ah... I see." Akagi nodded slightly after hearing Shiro's explanation. "So... Admiral, you really didn't bite that knife on purpose?"

"really not……"

"Then, Admiral, what about the piece of metal you bit off?"

"Uh...no...that's all..."

"Melts in your mouth?"

"Uh... um..." Xiaobai shrank his neck and said somewhat awkwardly.

The reason why Xiaobai can bite through the metal hulls of deep-sea ships is not because Xiaobai's teeth are particularly hard, nor because of its strong bite force.

The reason she could bite through those deep-sea metals that were as hard as diamonds was simply because as soon as Xiaobai opened her mouth and bit into them, those originally incredibly hard metals would immediately become as crisp as freshly roasted peanuts, falling off with a single bite and easily sliding into Xiaobai's stomach. Therefore, Xiaobai had no chance to return the piece of metal she bit off to Baiying.

"Sigh..." Akagi rubbed his forehead, looking at Shiro with some worry, "Admiral, Admiral..."

"Yes, I'm sorry..."

"The Admiral has done nothing to wrong Akagi... however..."

As Akagi finished speaking, her expression froze for a moment, then she silently turned her head to look at a corner of the room.

In the shadows of the corner of the room, Bai Ying crouched on the ground, pressed against the wall with her head down, remaining silent.

On the floor next to Bai Ying lay the beautiful military knife, which, even lying in a dark corner, reflected a dazzling light.

On the gleaming silver blade tip, a small, tooth-shaped notch exudes an extremely strong presence.

It felt incredibly out of place.

Extremely eye-catching.

Although it wasn't a physical entity, Xiao Bai could always see a negative emotion brewing slowly in the shadows emanating from Bai Ying.

"Admiral, we need to give Miss Bai Ying a proper explanation..." Faced with this strange situation, even Akagi felt exhausted.

"Hmm..." Xiaobai lowered his head.

"Let me go and negotiate with Miss Bai Ying..."

"Ah, no, um, let me do it..." Xiaobai quickly called out to Chicheng.

"...Admiral, are you alright?"

"Yes." Xiaobai's gaze was somewhat firm.

Akagi watched for a while and then nodded silently.

"Then, I'll go out and continue washing the bedding for Miss Bai... Admiral, if you need Akagi, just call out to me."

After whispering a reminder to Shiro, Akagi left the room, pulled away Yamato and Kaga, who had been peeking from the doorway for a long time, and gently closed the door behind her.

Finally, only two people remained in the room.

Xiaobai took a deep breath.

"Um... Sister Bai Ying..."

"..."

"Uh... Sister Bai Ying, I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..."

Xiao Bai apologized to Bai Ying.

However, no matter what Xiaobai said, Bai Ying remained expressionless, looking down at the broken military knife without reacting.

It wasn't that Bai Ying was ignoring Xiao Bai, but rather that Bai Ying was completely dumbfounded at this moment.

Bai Ying stared at the small notch on the tip of the military knife on the ground, feeling a buzzing in her head.

Having spent several days with this military knife, Bai Ying was naturally very familiar with its sturdiness.

This knife is so hard that, even if it can't be said to be absolutely invulnerable, it's definitely not the kind of weapon that can be easily destroyed by ordinary physical means.

Strictly speaking, this knife is so tough that it could withstand being used to block bullets, split planes, or blast torpedoes without any damage. It is a treasured knife that has reached the pinnacle of hardness.

So how did this perfectly good knife end up being chewed up like this...?

Looking at the military knife on the ground, which had completely lost its prestige, Bai Ying felt extremely melancholy.

Bai Ying's temper has never been very good.

The nurses at the nursing home can all testify to this.

Don't be fooled by Bai Ying's quiet and cute appearance. She usually lies in bed like a harmless little animal, but in reality, Bai Ying is quite irritable and the type who will hit someone at the slightest provocation.

The reason Bai Ying didn't kick Xiao Bai and the others out of the nursing home when they came to visit was simply because after seeing a girl with the same hair and eye color as herself, Xiao Bai's similar appearance reminded her of her past, and she subconsciously developed a slight interest in Xiao Bai.

It was precisely because of this slight interest that Bai Ying told Xiao Bai that information out of sheer interest.

Later, after leaving the nursing home and arriving at Chapter Six, where she met Xiaobai for the second time, due to some awkward circumstances, she needed to find temporary accommodation to support herself until she finished her important business. Bai Ying simply felt that she might really be destined to be with Xiaobai, so she casually clung to Xiaobai's leg when he came to talk to her.

After all, that's fate.
