Elder brother's garrison

Page 948

With trembling little hands, Hood adjusted her glasses and scanned the members of the Deep Sea Maid Group lying haphazardly on the ground.

“Lexington…”

"Ah, you mean Bismarck and the others from the Deep Sea?" Lexington smiled at Hood, patting the little white rabbit and Saratoga who were tightly hugging her waist. "It's a long story... but don't worry, they're fine. They're just a little tired and are resting in their own way."

Compared to Hood's shocked expression, Lexington's smile was calm and gentle.

Xiao Bai and Saratoga, who had just entered the office, were so shocked by the indescribable scene that they instinctively screamed.

This is also impossible.

After all, it's quite eerie to suddenly come home and find your own photos plastered all over the walls, your own keepsakes scattered all over the floor, the whole room suddenly turning pink, and so many people lying on the floor.

"Lexington...rest...rest?"

Hearing Lexington and Hood's conversation, Little White stared with bewildered eyes, raised his head, and opened his mouth.

"Hmm." Lexington smiled at Little White and nodded gently.

"What kind of rest?"

"Of course, study."

"...Study, learn??" Xiaobai looked completely bewildered. "Why do we have to make them study?"

"Didn't you ask me to take care of those Deep Sea Deans before you went on this expedition, Xiaobai?" Lexington patted Xiaobai's head and smiled.

"Uh... um..."

"I know a bit about the situation of those Deep Sea Deans. Leaving Pachina aside, at least Musashi, Deep Sea Bismarck, and Deep Sea Tirpitz haven't grown to the point where they can have normal conversations with people yet, right?" Lexington said to Little White. "The naval base has been quite deserted since this expedition, and I can't let them feel lonely. It's also to help them master human language quickly, so I called them over and casually taught them to read and write."

"Huh? Is that so?" Xiaobai was stunned and looked back at the Deep Sea Deans lying on the ground.

Just then, Bismarck also squatted down next to Deep Sea Bismarck with a serious expression, gently poked Deep Sea Bismarck's ear, and took the test paper from her hand.

Bismarck glanced at the contents of the exam paper.

Bismarck frowned and began to think.

Bismarck crashed.

White smoke began to emanate from Bismarck's head.

"..." Xiaobai shifted her gaze back to Lexington, "Uh... Lexington, you can teach this casually..."

“Although it was just casual teaching, I was determined to make sure they mastered human culture before you came back, Little White.” Lexington sighed unconsciously, rubbing her cheek, looking somewhat dejected. “I tried many methods, but it seems it’s still a bit too early for them…”

Little White turned around blankly, took the exam paper from Bismarck's hand, and looked down at it.

The entire paper was covered in crooked handwriting, already corrected by Lexington. The subject of this paper was Chinese, and most of the questions were fill-in-the-blank and phonetic symbols. Xiaobai glanced at it and found that the vocabulary involved was probably at the high school level, with many uncommon characters and a number of words that needed to be filled in and phoneticized, some of which Xiaobai himself had never seen before.

This test paper... is a bit difficult.

Xiao Bai thought for a moment, then shifted his gaze to the middle of the test paper and looked at the score of Deep Sea Bismarck.

The Deep Sea Bismarck scored 87 out of 100.

Xiao Bai blankly put down the test paper, staring blankly at Lexington, who was holding his cheek and sighing, looking at him with a self-reproachful expression as if he hadn't taught him well at all.

Oh my god.

Eighty-seven points.

Although this score is by no means high, it is at least not the kind of score that would be extremely embarrassing to show.

Lexington... she actually taught a deep-sea dean how to do Chinese language tests, and he even got 87 points!

This is incredibly powerful in every sense of the word!

“I originally wanted them to reach a score of 90 or above before you came back, but now it seems I’m not suited to be a teacher after all…” Lexington walked over to Xiaobai, looking at the test paper in Xiaobai’s hand with a worried expression.

"That's already amazing!" Xiaobai shook her head rapidly at Lexington, clutching the test paper in her hand. "No, no, this is so amazing that it would cause a sensation in human society! It would definitely be recorded in history!"

"Is that right?"

"Yes, that's right! That's the Dean of the Deep Sea! Logically speaking, he should be completely isolated from human culture!" Little White nodded rapidly, looking completely bewildered. "Lexington, how did you manage to do that?"

"Me? Well... actually, I didn't do anything particularly special."

Lexington nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "It's just normal teaching them to read... If there's anything special about it, it's just that when they skip class, we catch them one by one and pretend to be angry to scare them a little."

"Huh? What scared you?"

Xiao Bai asked curiously.

"me?"

Lexington, who was touching her lips, paused, looked down at the innocent-looking Xiaobai, and couldn't help but laugh. "As for me... I usually—"

As Lexington finished speaking, he raised his hands, curled his fingers, and then let out a soft bleat like a little white lamb.

“Disobedient children get a beating,” Lexington said to Little White, baring his teeth.

"Hahaha, it's not scary at all."

Little White chuckled when he saw Lexington, who not only didn't look scary at all, but was even surprisingly cute.

"That's it."

Lexington covered her mouth and laughed along with Xiaobai. "But actually, I'm not just good at scaring people. To motivate them to study, I also decorated this room to their liking."

"Huh? This office?"

"Yes, Xiaobai, you're the one who brought them back, right? Actually, they really like you. As long as I put your photos and figurines in the room, these Deep Sea Deans get really into studying."

"Huh? So that's why the room turned out like this!" Upon hearing this, Xiaobai subconsciously tightened her grip on the test paper, then breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if a huge weight had been lifted from her heart. "So the room was decorated just so that Pachina and the others could study properly?"

When Xiaobai first entered the room, he thought Lexington was bored out of her mind and had reverted to her idol-like state at the naval base. However, after Lexington's explanation, Xiaobai realized that the reason the room was decorated in such a terrible way was not because Lexington had finally gone mad, but simply to motivate the Deep Sea Deans to study.

If that's all... Although it's a bit embarrassing to have so many of my photos displayed in the house, I think it's fine this way.

At least it's better than being caught on the spot by Lexington-chan, the naval base idol who doesn't know how to face her.

“Yes.” Lexington nodded with a smile.

"The photos of Saratoga..."

“I’m Saratoga’s older sister, so when choosing photos, I would naturally choose the ones of you and Saratoga together, right?” Lexington stuck out her tongue at Xiaobai and gently tapped her head.

"I knew it!" Little White was completely relieved. "I thought you, Lexington, had..."

"Huh? Xiaobai, what's wrong with me now?"

"Um...no, no." Xiaobai shook her head, then looked at the Deep Sea Deans scattered all over the ground, "Then what about them..."

“Now that you’re back, Xiaobai, I can’t continue teaching them. It’s a pity, but this lesson has to end here.” Lexington sighed. “Anyway, it’s okay. I’ve been keeping the floor very clean these past few days. Studying is tiring too, so let them rest for a while.”

"oh oh!"

Lexington tidied up Xiaobai's desk a bit to make room for him.

“Since Lexington has already told me your story at the naval base, how about I tell you my story in Chapter Six?” Little White said to Lexington as he sat down.

Lexington nodded with a smile, but then gently shook his finger.

“Of course I’ll listen, but Little White, now’s not the time,” Lexington said to Little White. “Although I’d ​​love to chat with you, Little White, I have a few things to tell you.”

"What's going on?"

"Yubari has returned to the newbie naval base. She's the staff member in charge of Iowa's ship equipment testing this time—hmm, since Iowa isn't with you right now, you probably already ran into her at the gate, right?"

"Yes, we ran into her. Yubari was so excited that she dragged Iowa to the training ground before they even exchanged a few words."

"Yubari is very busy, you know. It's not easy for her to come back to the naval base. The admiral can't let her not go and comfort her right away." Lexington smiled at Shiro. "Yubari likes to eat sweets. Admiral, you should take some sweets to her."

"Uh...that's true...Let me first write down the list of ship girls for this expedition..."

"It's alright, leave these small things to me."

"Hmm...that's fine too." Xiaobai thought about it for a while, nodded slightly, and then got down from her seat.

Talk about it.

Lexington is acting rather strangely today.

He had just returned to the garrison.

I have this feeling that Lexington... seems to really want me to leave the office as soon as possible?

Chapter 1241 The Disobedient Saratoga

But strange as it may be.

Lexington's point is valid.

For Iowa and Yubari, it was their first time entering the newbie naval base, and for the other, it had been several years since they had returned to the newbie naval base. The inspection of their ship equipment was a very important moment for them, and it would indeed be a bit unreasonable for me, as the admiral, not to be by their side.

"Then I'll go find Yubari and the others first. I'll leave the registration of the other ship girls to you, Lexington." Shiro bowed slightly to Lexington, feeling a little embarrassed.

"When you get back, Xiaobai, I'll prepare tea and snacks with Reputation, and then we can have a good chat about Chapter Six," Lexington said with a smile.

"Well, I have a lot to tell you, Lexington," Xiaobai said with a smile.

Lexington waved to Little White, indicating that everything was fine.

"Uh... and that."

"What's wrong."

"These photos and little figures..." Xiaobai pointed somewhat awkwardly to the photos around her, "...I'm still a little embarrassed..."

“Yes, that’s true. I’ll keep it too,” Lexington said with a smile.

"Thank you, Lexington." Little White smiled at Lexington.

As Xiaobai was leaving the office, there was no reason for Hood, Bismarck, Akagi, and the others to stay. They were all ship girls who had been away for a long time and had returned, and they had a lot of things to do. After the senior ship girls said goodbye to Lexington one by one, Xiaobai left with them.

A crunch.

The office door was closed.

Lexington's chest heaved slightly for a moment, then gradually calmed down.

Lexington glanced at the distance.

Saratoga was the only one present who hadn't left. She was squatting next to the deep-sea supply ship, curiously poking at the back of its hand.

"Isn't Jiajia going with Xiaobai?" Lexington asked with a smile.

Saratoga stood up, stretched out his arms, and lunged at Lexington.

"I haven't seen my sister in so long! I missed you! So I'm spending time with you today!"

"Oh, Saratoga, when did you become so good at talking?" Lexington reached out and hugged Saratoga, letting her greedily rub against his ample chest, touching her and gently stroking her soft, long hair. "I missed Saratoga too."

"Hehe." Saratoga took the opportunity to pinch Lexington's chest twice more.

"Alright, stop fooling around." Lexington laughed and slapped Saratoga's little lewd hand away. "You're not a boy, why are you always pinching and squeezing my breasts?"

"Big and soft!"

"You're full of dirty jokes." Lexington poked Saratoga's nose. "Gaga, be a proper lady. Remember, you can't say things like that in the future, especially not in front of Xiaobai. If she hears you, she won't like you."

"Mmm-hmm!" Saratoga nodded like a hamster, obediently following the instructions.

Lexington shook his head.

"Jiajia, wait here for a moment while I go and take down the photos from the surrounding walls."

"Ok!"

"Don't move around."

Lexington gave Saratoga one last reminder, then walked to the wall near the door and carefully removed the framed photographs one by one.

After Lexington left, Saratoga, who had been standing still, took advantage of Lexington's back being turned and plopped down in Whitebeard's seat. With a gentle swing of her long legs, she spun around in Whitebeard's swivel chair.

Saratoga's enthusiasm came and went quickly.

After circling around two or three times, Saratoga, clearly losing interest, lay listlessly on White's chair. Then, her gaze shifted slightly, and she subconsciously looked towards Lexington's desk.

Ok?

Saratoga was taken aback.

Having not seen it before, Saratoga only managed to vaguely make out two cushions tucked tightly underneath Lexington's desk after sitting in Xiaobai's chair and finding the right angle.

Saratoga walked toward Lexington's desk.
