Little White poked its head out from Big Well's arms, squinting at the beach as it braved the oncoming wind.
All that could be seen on the dock were rows of cordon lines, and there was no trace of any villagers inside the cordon.
On the beach.
The crowd was quite dense.
It was a dark mass at first glance.
Every now and then, a familiar howl could be heard.
The battle looks incredibly intense...
"Admiral, we've arrived at the dock!" Ooi, carrying Shiro, leaped high from the rooftops by the dock and bounded towards the beach.
"Missouri!!" Little White took a deep breath and shouted towards the dark beach, "I'm back!!"
Boom! ! !
Dai-i carried Xiao-bai and landed steadily on the beach.
Sand and stones flew everywhere.
"Bang!!" Just as Xiaobai and Dajing landed on the beach, a light impact sound suddenly rang out.
Xiao Bai opened his eyes.
A dark, spherical object flew into the sky from the very center of the beach.
"Missouri!!" Hindenburg's figure shot into the sky under Xiaobai's gaze. She struck several charging poses in mid-air before slamming her hand hard onto the flying spherical object.
Boom! ! !
Hindenburg slammed the spherical object hard into the sand below.
Then, it crashed into the beach like a cannonball.
"Boom!!!"
then.
The ball exploded.
It blasted a fairly large crater in the beach.
"Volleyball ruined! Hindenburg's serve fails! Missouri scores a point!"
In the middle of the beach, in front of a long, thin net, a mercenary ship girl in a swimsuit raised a colorful flag, waved it to one side, and then whistled.
"Wow!!!"
"Bravo!!"
On the beach, a burst of applause of admiration erupted from the ship girls.
"Aaaaaaahhhhhh!! How many times have I told Hindenburg not to serve with so much power, you bastard!!!" Wisconsin screamed, clutching his head as Hindenburg landed back on the ground.
"……"noob.
"..." Oi.
This scene.
It seems a little different from what Xiaobai imagined.
--Well.
What happened to the fact that they were supposed to be fighting the Abyssal Fleet?
Could it be that you guys are...?
Are they playing beach volleyball?
Chapter 1359 Swimsuit Team, On the Move
Xiaobai remained seated in Dajing's lap, one above the other, staring wide-eyed at the scene of the ship girls playing and joking on the beach.
On the beach of the small fishing village.
There was no gunfire, no deep sea, no battle.
There was only one thing: a whole beach filled with ship girls in swimsuits, and ship girls playing beach volleyball, battling it out against a high net.
One side of the net.
Missouri caught the volleyball thrown to her by the referee. Just as she was about to bend down to serve, she suddenly turned around as if sensing something and looked at Xiaobai and Dajing's side.
"Oh my?" Missouri saw the dumbfounded Shiro and Ooi, and then a happy smile rose on Missouri's face. "Admiral, you're back!"
Missouri, clutching the volleyball, jogged off the court and ran towards Xiaobai.
"Admiral! You're back! Did you take care of everything you were doing when you went out?" Missouri stopped in front of Xiaobai with a big smile on her face.
"Missouri...you, what are you doing..."
“Ah, is this what the Admiral means?” Missouri held up the volleyball in her hand. “This is a beach volleyball.”
"Uh...how are you..."
"Ah... the Admiral wants to know why we're playing this, right?" Missouri smiled at Shiro, nodded her chin, and thought for a moment. "This is actually a bit complicated to explain..."
While Missouri was thinking.
Behind Xiaobai and Dajing, several other figures caught up one after another.
"Zara! Zara, are you alright?!"
"There are enemies there!!"
Missouri?
The three ship girls landed one after another, all three looking at the dark beach with serious expressions. However, when they saw a group of ship girls playing and frolicking on the beach in swimsuits, they all froze in surprise.
Missouri observed the reactions of the ship girls before her.
"Ah... Admiral, you don't think the beach was attacked by the enemy, do you?" Missouri picked up the volleyball and asked Shiro.
"..." Xiaobai looked at Missouri awkwardly. She silently jumped from Dajing's arms to the ground, stood on tiptoe, and caught the volleyball from Missouri's hand. "This matter... how should I put it, my situation is actually quite complicated..."
Xiao Bai lowered his head, his hands idly pressing the volleyball in his arms, muttering softly.
"I never expected... Missouri, you would... play this with someone else while I was away..."
Missouri pursed her lips and tilted her head at Little White.
"Ah, the Admiral is back! Admiral!"
far away.
Seemingly finally noticing Missouri's absence, Wisconsin, who was discussing proper serve techniques with Hindenburg on the other side, also spotted Little White. Her eyes lit up, and she quickly grabbed Hindenburg, waving at Little White as she ran over.
"Wisconsin, I'm back." Xiaobai waved to Wisconsin, then looked at Hindenburg beside her and smiled back, "Hindenburg, I'm back."
"..." Hindenburg silently looked at Little White, his mind a jumble of thoughts.
"Missouri—hurry back to the field, or you'll be called for a foul!" The referee ship girl who had been blowing the whistle in front of the net jogged towards Missouri. She had only run halfway when she saw Little White in front of Missouri. The referee ship girl raised an eyebrow, then smiled with delight, "Wow, wow!! It's, it's the amazing Admiral!! You're finally back!!"
The referee ship girl was so excited she almost jumped up from the ground.
"Senior, shh..." Missouri smiled at the referee ship girl, then took the volleyball from Xiaobai's hand and handed it back to the referee ship girl, "Referee senior, Missouri's admiral has returned, so Missouri should forfeit this match."
"Eh? But...uh...okay, alright." The referee ship girl, holding the volleyball Missouri handed her, hesitated for a moment, then nodded after whispering softly for a while. She then looked at Shiro with hopeful eyes, "So...may I ask you, esteemed Admiral, what was the matter you went out to handle this time...?"
"It's a complete eradication, a perfect solution!" Xiaobai gave a thumbs up.
"That's great!" The referee ship girl smiled happily. She bowed to Xiaobai and the others in turn, then ran back to the crowd with the volleyball in her arms.
"...Uh...Missouri, speaking of which, what's wrong with you guys right now..." Little White looked at the referee ship girl's swaying little butt with a puzzled expression, "What exactly is going on...?"
"Oh, this?" Missouri said with a smile, taking out a jacket from her ship equipment space and putting it on. "It's like this, Commander Huai Ren seems to have been too anxious these past three days and hasn't eaten or rested much, so he collapsed on the beach this morning and is now resting in the tent at the far end of the beach. It's a rare opportunity, and since there are only girls left on the beach, Missouri was thinking of taking a break and enjoying a vacation with all of you seniors, and before I knew it, this is how it turned out."
"...Uh, then I'll call you at noon today..."
"Ah." Missouri pulled out her phone from her coat in surprise. "...Oh no."
"……"noob.
"I'm so sorry... Missouri forgot to check her contact status with the Admiral... Please punish Missouri, Admiral." Missouri covered her mouth, her eyes brimming with tears, and lowered her head with a look of guilt.
"...No, it's nothing..." Xiaobai sighed, "Anyway, it's better that no fight broke out on the beach..."
"A battle broke out?" Missouri looked up, curiously examining Little White. "The battle refers to...?"
"Well..." Xiaobai turned her head and glanced at the still blue sea, which was completely calm. "By the way, where are Yamato and Zara? I'll tell you about this too."
"As for Yamato-senpai and Zara-senpai, they didn't relax with us. They should be resting on the beach near Kyouka's house right now," Missouri said.
"Near Jinghua's house?"
"Yes, Senior Yamato said that there are only children there. If an Abyssal Fleet appears on the sea, someone will be needed to protect them."
"Ah~" Shiro showed a smile befitting her older sister Yamato.
Perhaps it was the high-pressure life of the past few months that had accumulated a lot of stress for the ship girls of the Huai Ren Mercenary Group. Now, in the beach event led by Missouri, the ship girls of the mercenary group showed extraordinary enthusiasm for participation.
Until now.
On the beach near Jinghua's house, there were still quite a few mercenary ship girls playing with water guns, laughing and having fun.
"Yamato-neechan! Zara, I'm back." As Shiro approached the beach near Kyoka's house, she saw two familiar figures on the beach. One of them was Akami Yamato, who was sitting on the beach in front of Kyoka's house, resting her chin on her hand and yawning listlessly.
Upon hearing Shiro's voice, Yamato looked at her, stood up from the beach, and smiled at her.
"Admiral Xiaobai, you're back." Zara smiled gently at Xiaobai.
"Oh! Shiro, you're back!" Yamato Shinkai waved with a smile, but when his gaze shifted to Ooi and Kitakami beside Shiro, his eyes suddenly widened in surprise. "Whoa... these two..."
"Yamato-neechan, these two are Ooi and Kitakami, ship girls who are away on business from our naval base." Shiro walked up to Abyssal Yamato and introduced them with a smile, "I bumped into them by chance while I was out, so I called them back."
"...Wow, Shiro, your luck with salvaging this ship is really something..." Abyss Yamato clicked her tongue as she looked at Ooi and Kitakami, "You salvaged a pair of twin sisters right away..."
“…Hmm.” Ooi and Kitakami were also staring at the Deep Sea Yamato with a puzzled look. “Yamato? Was that a ship the Admiral also salvaged? Hmm? Why do you look so familiar…”
"Ah! Let's talk about Yamato-neechan later!" Shiro quickly interrupted Ooi and Kitakami's thoughts. She gave Ooi and Kitakami an awkward smile and shifted her gaze to the ship girls around them. "Anyway, now that everyone is here, I have something very important to say."
"What's wrong?" Yamato asked Shiro curiously.
Xiao Bai turned her head and looked at the boundless sea with concern.
"That's right, the deep-sea news from this small fishing village is very likely a large-scale deep-sea disaster created by the Black Flame Garrison using living deep-sea amphibious ships..." Xiaobai gestured and repeated her deduction to the ship girls.
Finished.
"That's about it," Xiaobai said, letting out a sigh of relief.
“Wh…what…” Zara looked at Xiaobai with some surprise, “The deep-sea message was actually…created by the admiral in charge of this area?”
“Well, the problem is not that simple. The deep-sea information here in the small fishing village may even be created through living large deep-sea amphibious ships. Given the vastness of this sea area, it is very likely that it has already grown into a disaster-prone deep-sea area at the level of a deep-sea frigate.” Xiaobai said seriously, “That’s why I was so worried about you before I came here.”
“A severely damaged deep-sea disaster…” Missouri seemed lost in thought.
"Missouri?" Little White looked at Missouri. "What's wrong?"
“Ah… it’s like this.” Missouri began to speak to Xiaobai, “This morning, due to some special reasons, Missouri and the ship girl seniors from the mercenary group went out to explore the sea. Then, we discovered something unusual in a somewhat dull and oppressive area of the sea, but for safety reasons, we didn’t proceed further…”
"Where?!" Little White quickly grabbed Missouri's wrist.
“Hmm… Missouri can lead the way for you, Admiral.” Missouri thought for a moment, then said to Xiaobai.
"Great! Missouri, you might have found the location of that large deep-sea amphibious ship!" Little White grabbed Missouri's wrist and shook it in mid-air. "Quick, we're in a hurry, let's set off now."
"Now?" Missouri blinked.
"Ok!"
"immediately?"
"Yes!"
“Hmm…” Missouri looked a little embarrassed.
What happened in Missouri?
"...Admiral."
"……Um?"
"Setting out now... Admiral, you're really... bold..." Missouri glanced at herself and the surrounding ship girls in their revealing swimsuits, and gently covered her mouth. "In the midst of battle... are we all supposed to see our swimsuits...?"
