"A very good carrier-based aircraft. It looks to have about the same power as the BTD-Destroyer." Lexington put down White's carrier-based aircraft and smiled at White. "It has a very good foundation."
“Yeah, Yubari said the same thing.” Xiaobai said to Lexington, getting a little excited. “Well, then I have a question… I’m not sure if my ship equipment can carry the B-25…”
"B25?"
"B25!"
“…Hmm…that makes sense.” Lexington was initially taken aback, but after a moment’s thought, she showed a very interested expression. “It’s worth a try.”
Lexington stood up from his seat, then reached behind him and pulled out a shiny mini airplane.
"Little White, take this." Lexington handed the palm-sized airplane to Little White.
"Lexington, what's this?" Little White took the Lexington toy plane and glanced down at it.
The airplane Lexington handed to Xiaobai was shiny and dark green all over, but the fuselage emitted a rich, colorful light, making it look exceptionally cool.
“This is my carrier-based aircraft carrier B-25. Little White, you give it a try first,” Lexington said.
"Oh, oh, oh!" Little White nodded.
The carrier-based aircraft mechanism of aircraft carrier girls is very different from that of artillery-based aircraft carrier girls.
Aircraft carrier ship girls typically do not have the cannons that artillery ship girls possess, but instead, they have several shipborne hangars of varying sizes.
Under normal circumstances, if left unattended, these carrier-based aircraft hangars will automatically generate some carrier-based aircraft unique to the ship girls based on the aluminum block resources deployed. These ordinary carrier-based aircraft are mostly of mediocre strength and have very limited destructive power.
However, if conditions permit, as long as special prototype carrier-based aircraft are placed in the hangar, the aircraft carrier girls can use the prototype carrier-based aircraft in the hangar, along with a large amount of aluminum resources, to replicate a large number of carrier-based aircraft with top-notch lethality, thereby improving their combat power.
Lexington handed him this glittering airplane.
It should be the prototype of the B-25 that is usually kept in her carrier's hangar.
“The B25 bomber is a ship rig used by aircraft carrier ship girls, but although the art styles of abyssal ship rigs and ship girl ship rigs are completely different, they have similar structures. I think the B25 can also be installed in the aircraft carrier-type abyssal ship rig.” Lexington said to Xiaobai, “Xiaobai, release the ship rig, then restore all the carrier-based aircraft inside to aluminum blocks, and then put this prototype in.”
"Okay!" Xiaobai nodded, took a few steps back, then found an open space in the office and released her ship equipment.
A massive crystal fortress appeared behind Xiaobai.
Holding the Lexington's carrier-based aircraft, Xiaobai took three steps at a time and walked to the hangar of his own ship's equipment, then knocked on the hangar door.
Xiaobai has almost never used the carrier-based aircraft equipped by his own ship.
However, this does not stop her from wanting to get a set of divine equipment for her ship.
After all, Xiaobai had witnessed the terrifying power of B25. To date, Xiaobai had never seen any Abyssal Fleet ship that could withstand a single round from the B25 squadron of ship girls in the newbie naval base.
This irresistible charm is hard for even a novice to resist.
Xiao Bai knocked on the hangar door, picked up Lexington's B-25 carrier-based aircraft, and, under Lexington's watchful gaze, tiptoed and gently tossed the aircraft into his hangar.
The prototype carrier-based aircraft is, in a sense, a mold. The operation of the replica carrier-based aircraft is also automated by the ship equipment and will end after a while, so novices don't need to worry about it.
Xiao Bai eagerly lowered his hand from the hangar door.
Xiao Bai glanced at Lexington.
At this moment, Lexington held her cheek in her hands, standing behind Little White, smiling as she looked at him.
"...Lexington, is there something on my face?"
"Huh? No."
"So, Lexington, you kept staring at me and smiling because..."
"Ah... this." Lexington's smile brightened even more. "Actually, it's nothing. I just suddenly thought that the fact that my carrier-based aircraft entered your ship equipment, Little White, really feels like an indirect kiss."
"……"noob.
Chapter 1251 Lexington, she's in the village!! (4500 words)
Well known.
For ship girls, ship equipment is not simply high-tech gear, but rather an extension of their bodies.
The ship equipment of ship girls not only provides them with a continuous source of power, but also serves as their second body, allowing them to receive feedback from external stimuli.
therefore.
For various reasons, to some extent, the ship equipment of ship girls can be compared to one of their "organs," which, like their flesh and blood, occupy a very important position.
In daily life, from a human perspective, the interaction between ship girls like Shiro and Lexington might seem like a very ordinary thing. However, from the perspective of the ship girls themselves, it is a rather special kind of intimate behavior.
"……Well……"
Xiao Bai looked at Lexington, who was cupping her face in her hands and smiling at her, and broke out in a cold sweat. "I'm so sorry... an indirect kiss... I... I never expected this..."
"I knew it... But it's okay, after all, Shiro, you're not a real ship girl, so it's normal for you to be a little slow to react in this regard."
Lexington waved her hand and smiled at Little White, saying, "I don't mind at all—So, Little White, how does it feel to use my carrier-based aircraft?"
"..." Xiaobai's face flushed slightly, and she scratched her cheek. "I feel... since you don't mind, Lexington, I guess I'm fine too... well, after all, if it's just this much—I've used the cups you usually use, haven't I..."
There are two kinds of people in the world.
One type of person is very sensitive to indirect kissing, and the other type is very sensitive to indirect kissing between strangers.
Xiaobai belongs to the latter category.
Although Xiaobai still resists indirect contact with strangers, she doesn't mind the occasional intimate behavior between acquaintances, such as sharing water cups or chopsticks, especially with someone like Lexington who is practically like a mother to her.
Even if Lexington were to spit out a wet piece of fruit candy and say to Xiaobai that it was really sweet and Xiaobai should try it, Xiaobai would try it without any resistance.
"Xiao Bai really has a very open-minded view on this."
"...Lexington takes this very seriously..."
"As for me, at least I don't mind Jiajia and the constellation, and Xiaobai, you too."
"Hey, you can use zodiac signs too?"
“I’m fine with it, but although I don’t mind, Constellation seems to be very strict about this. She even carefully places our toothbrushes in different cups than ours.” Lexington mentioned her new sister Constellation, a hint of helplessness on her face, and sighed softly. “Honestly, when will Constellation be able to snuggle in my arms like Jiajia…”
“Ah…after all, Constellation has only been with the naval base for a short time…” Xiaobai said as she closed the hangar door. “Um, Lexington, I’ve already put your B-25 carrier-based aircraft in the hangar.”
"Well, based on my experience, Xiaobai, you don't need to do anything anymore. Just wait a few minutes by the ship's equipment, and all your carrier-based aircraft will become expendable B-25s."
Lexington said to Little White.
"so fast?"
"The technology of ship equipment is far more advanced than current human technology," Lexington said, sticking out her tongue at Xiaobai. "Although I don't research this area."
Xiao Bai smiled at Lexington.
The office at the newbie naval base is quite large, but even so, it's still too crowded for a newbie's land-based ship equipment.
While waiting for his ship equipment to process the B25 that Lexington had given him, Xiaobai pulled himself away from the ship equipment, walked back to Lexington's side along the wall, picked up his teacup and took a couple of sips.
"Speaking of which... this tea tastes somewhat familiar."
Xiaobai held her teacup, took a couple of sips, and savored the sweetness of the tea. Suddenly, she felt a subtle sense of familiarity and asked Lexington curiously, "Lexington, is this kind of tea common?"
"The shopkeeper said it's all handmade."
"Huh? Handmade..." Xiaobai paused, "Doesn't that mean it's one of a kind?"
“Yes, it’s a very special tea. Speaking of special, the owner of that shop is a rather cute little girl.” Lexington said, stretching out her hand to compare her height with that of Xiaobai. “She also has silver hair and often wears a fluffy rabbit on her head. Although she is still very young, her coffee-making skills are really good.”
“…Eh…” Xiaobai held his teacup, and the more he listened to Lexington’s explanation, the more familiar the description seemed.
The shop owner that Lexington mentioned...
It feels strange... kind of like the coffee shop owner in the city where I used to go to Wisconsin?
"Lexington, is that coffee shop newly opened?" Xiaobai couldn't help but ask Lexington.
“Hmm.” Lexington nodded. “Little White, you even know this? It was opened not far from the naval base when you went to Chapter Six. At first, I wondered why anyone would be willing to open a naval base in such a remote place, but later I realized that it seems to be targeting us.”
"Huh? Us?"
“That shop’s cakes are exquisite and delicious, and the prices are reasonable, so many of the sisters who stayed at the naval base know that shop. It’s not exactly booming these days, but it’s certainly not deserted.” Lexington said, shaking the black tin of tea on the table. “I bought this from them too.”
"...Wow, such a unique business acumen..." Xiaobai laughed awkwardly.
Xiao Bai remembered that before she left the city of Wisconsin, she had given the owner of that coffee shop her business card from the naval base. At that time, the coffee shop owner was still struggling with how to balance the coffee shop business with her studies.
did not expect.
She actually moved to her own doorstep...
This is amazing in every sense of the word.
Xiao Bai thought that if he ever had some free time, he would definitely have to go and take a look at the coffee shop that Lexington mentioned.
Just thinking about it.
Lexington put down his teacup.
"Xiaobai, it's almost time. Go check if your B25 has been generated in your ship equipment."
"Oh, oh!" Xiaobai quickly put down her teacup and walked towards her ship equipment.
On the light blue land-based ship equipment, because it was indoors, the cold air and ice flames on the ship equipment were deliberately suppressed to the minimum by Xiaobai. Only the beast head lying on the top of the ship equipment still had a ball of surging blue fire burning in its mouth.
Xiao Bai reached out his hand towards the beast head again.
The beast head then opened its mouth, coughed, and spat out a mouthful of blue fire at Little White.
Little White caught the blue flames spewed out by the beast's head, gently blew on the blue flames in its hand, and the blue flames went out.
This time, the carrier-based aircraft that came out of Xiaobai's ship equipment was not the original blue carrier-based aircraft with a strong deep-sea art style.
This time, what appeared in Xiaobai's hands was a small, shimmering blue airplane.
"...Huh? Blue?" Xiaobai tilted her head, holding the aircraft's head. She remembered that the B-25 shouldn't be this color.
"Xiaobai, what's wrong? So you still can't build carrier-based aircraft for ship girls?" Lexington's voice came from behind Xiaobai, who was standing there in a daze.
"Uh... Lexington, no, no." Xiaobai shook his head in confusion, then turned around and brought his carrier-based aircraft back to Lexington's side. "Well, in short, the colorful light has been inherited, but... the color of the machine isn't quite right..."
"Color? Hmm... let me see." Lexington gently reached out and took the carrier-based aircraft from Xiaobai's hand.
Lexington fiddled with Little White's carrier-based aircraft, and after a while, nodded and put Little White's carrier-based aircraft down.
“No problem. As for the color… although I’m not entirely sure why there’s this color change, judging from the aura and structure, it’s definitely a B25.” Lexington tapped her chin lightly with her finger. “After all, your ship equipment is Abyssal ship equipment. This is the first time I’ve tried Abyssal ship equipment carrying shipgirl carrier-based aircraft, so I don’t know what changes will occur—but congratulations anyway, Little White. In any case, the result shows that your ship equipment is the type that can carry B25.”
"That's great!" Xiaobai felt a surge of joy from the inside out.
Although Xiaobai herself cannot operate carrier-based aircraft, she is different from ordinary ship girls. Xiaobai has an advanced autonomous device, namely Deep Sea Will's training. Due to the mismatch between Deep Sea Will's expertise and that of carrier-based aircraft, Xiaobai said she was not sure about Deep Sea Will's skill level, but at least she was certainly worthy of the title of "carrier master". Even if she only adds one attack method to Deep Sea Will, Xiaobai felt it would be worth it.
Seeing Xiaobai's happy expression, Lexington smiled gently and stood up from his seat again.
"Alright, Little White, pack up your ship equipment, let's go," Lexington said.
"Huh? Where are we going?" Xiaobai was taken aback.
“Your shipboard equipment is already capable of carrying B-25s, isn’t it? Even I only have four prototype B-25 carrier-based aircraft on me.” Lexington patted White on the head. “Anyway, let’s go get four more B-25s.”
"Oh, oh!" Little White quickly retracted the ship's equipment and nodded to Lexington.
Xiaobai and Lexington walked out of the office one after the other and left the office building.
"By the way, Lexington, the B25 you put in my ship's equipment, I'll have to take it out and return it to you when we get there," Xiaobai said to Lexington on the way.
“Our carrier-based aircraft are all B-25s. Since we’re going to replenish them anyway, it doesn’t make a difference whether we keep them with me or with you, Xiaobai.” Lexington smiled at Xiaobai.
"Oh... speaking of which, Lexington, do we have many B-25s at our base?"
“The B-25 is a top-tier bomber that is extremely rare in the world. Once you get something of that caliber, there isn’t even a stable way to acquire it. So even our naval base doesn’t have many,” Lexington said.
"How many are there?"
"There are only a few hundred or so, I don't recall any more than a thousand."
"Oh ho." Xiaobai nodded.
As Xiaobai and Lexington walked around the plaza of the newbie naval base, Xiaobai suddenly realized that he was getting further and further away from the warehouse where Yixian was, as Lexington led the way.
"Huh? Lexington, aren't we going to the warehouse?"
"Hmm?" Lexington said, tilting her head to look at the curious-looking Little White beside her, then smiled. "I didn't say I was going to the warehouse."
"???" Xiaobai looked at Lexington with a confused expression. "If we're going to get equipment, where else are we going if not to the warehouse?"
"Ah...that's true, Xiaobai, you don't know this yet, do you?" Lexington looked at Xiaobai's confused face and couldn't help but smile. She took Xiaobai's hand and said to her, "The B25 equipment...is special for various reasons. It's not usually stored with normal equipment. We're going to a warehouse specifically for storing B25s."
"Oh? I see." Xiaobai said knowingly. "I understand now."
