Elder brother's garrison

Page 1136

The shop assistant misunderstood the relationship between Xiaobai and Iowa.

Xiao Bai was also subtly too lazy to explain to her.

Although Iowa only picked out one set of underwear for herself, she chose so many clothes for her neighbor, New Jersey, that even the three of them couldn't carry them all together.

In the end, Iowa declined the shop assistant's offer to mail the clothes again and brought the packaged clothes to the door of the clothing store in several groups.

It was already quite late outside the clothing store, and the street had a subtle, clear, dark hue.

Taking advantage of the pedestrians' inattention, Iowa and New Jersey stuffed the clothing packaging scattered all over the ground into their ship equipment space, freeing up their hands.

"Hmm—ship girls are so convenient." Freeing her hands, Iowa stretched and yawned at Shiro, "Admiral, look at the vehicles on the street. If we weren't ship girls, we'd have to hire these vehicles to take us back to Ella's house."

“Yes…it feels really convenient.” Xiaobai walked to Iowa’s side, looked at the cars speeding by on the street, and nodded sincerely.

The ship equipment space of ship girls is indeed a very convenient skill.

Before acquiring ship equipment, Xiaobai was indeed very envious.

Iowa lowered her hand from her stretch and turned her head to look at Xiaobai, who had walked up to her.

"Admiral."

"Ok?"

"...I won't give up."

"Huh?" Xiaobai was taken aback. "Give up what?"

"Hehe." Iowa stuck out her tongue at Little White, turned around, jogged over to New Jersey, and vigorously ruffled New Jersey's hair. "The next thing to do is introduce you, New Jersey, this little rascal, to Missouri and Wisconsin!"

Xiaobai, Iowa, and New Jersey walked for a while and returned to the large iron gate of the "Ship Equipment Research Center" where Ella's house was located.

Xiao Bai stood in front of the iron gate, waved at it, and with a loud bang, the iron gate opened.

"Little White!!!" Then, a familiar and urgent voice called out, accompanied by a fluffy golden figure rushing out.

Xiao Bai felt himself being tightly hugged by a golden figure that darted out from behind the iron gate.

Then Xiaobai felt her face suddenly sink into two warm spots.

Then, Xiaobai felt two long, shapely, and soft thighs wrap around her waist.

A bit heavy.

"Ah...uh, yes, yes...Saratoga?"

Little White only had time to ask one question before Saratoga tackled him, and he fell backward to the ground with a thud.

"Little White!! You're finally back!" Saratoga hugged Little White tightly, hissing as he sniffed at him, pouting as he asked, "Did you encounter any danger? Did you meet any bad people? Did anyone touch you here, Little White? Did anyone...?"

Saratoga's little hands couldn't help but reach towards Whitebeard's buttocks and waist.

"Saratoga, it tickles, it tickles..." Little White's face turned bright red as Saratoga's little hand teased him.

Saratoga, seeing that Little White looked normal and hadn't been molested, got up from Little White with relief, then looked warily at Iowa standing next to Little White.

“Sister Saratoga, we’re back.” Iowa smiled at Saratoga’s luggage.

“Hmm…” Saratoga had already learned from Missouri’s experience, and the vigilance in her eyes did not diminish at all even after Iowa’s greeting. Her gaze nervously swept up and down Iowa’s body, and only after noticing that Iowa’s ten fingers were still snow-white and smooth did she feel somewhat relieved and shift her gaze to New Jersey behind Iowa.

I saw New Jersey.

Saratoga frowned slightly in confusion.

"Hmm...this person is from yesterday..."

"It looks like that ship girl from yesterday."

"The Admiral's new goal?"

"Ah, could it be... could it be that..."

The voices of a group of ship girls came from behind the iron gate.

Missouri, Wisconsin, and Changchun, who was covering her mouth, walked out of the door. The three of them looked at New Jersey with great surprise.

"Admiral, you've been missing all day. Could it be... you went to salvage a ship?"

The ship girls asked in surprise.

"Ah... well... how should I put it?" Little White patted her bottom, stood up from the ground, nodded her head as she thought, and organized her thoughts, "I went out today wearing clothes..."

"This is New Jersey. She's one of our Iowa-class ship girls." Iowa gently patted New Jersey's shoulder, pushed her in front of everyone, and introduced her to the ship girls with a friendly smile, "What do you think, ladies?"

"Huh? New Jersey?!" Changchun exclaimed in surprise. "This lady... she's from New Jersey? Eh? But, but why... actually..."

“Sister Changchun’s reaction is exactly the same as the Admiral’s.” Iowa looked at Changchun with a smile, then turned her gaze to Missouri and Wisconsin. “Missouri, Wisconsin, you should come and see for yourselves.”

“New Jersey…sister?” Missouri and Wisconsin walked up to New Jersey, their expressions differing as they looked at her face. “Is this New Jersey sister?”

“…” New Jersey looked at Missouri.

"Hello, New Jersey sister, I'm Missouri." Missouri noticed New Jersey's gaze and greeted her politely.

"..." New Jersey looked towards Wisconsin.

"Um...you really are New Jersey? Hmm...you're very pretty, and your figure is great too, but you seem a little plain..." Wisconsin tapped her chin, looking around at New Jersey with a strange expression, before finally meeting New Jersey's gaze. "Um...hello."

"..." New Jersey's gaze moved down, slowly shifting from Wisconsin's face to Wisconsin's broad, flat chest.

New Jersey glanced silently at Iowa's chest, then at Missouri's chest, then looked down at her own chest, before her gaze lingered somewhat strangely on Wisconsin's chest.

"...Why do I suddenly feel that your gaze is so rude?" Wisconsin sensed a targeted atmosphere.

"...That's strange." New Jersey.

"Alright, you said it, didn't you! You said that word, didn't you! You actually said it, didn't you!" Wisconsin rolled up her sleeves, revealing her fair arms. "You bastard, let's duel! So, our Iowa-class tradition is civil war, isn't it! Let's have a live-fire duel!"

"……don't want."

"Hey! You think you can just run away after all that talk? There's no such thing as a free lunch! Today, either I'll beat you to a pulp or you'll be the one who gets beaten to a pulp!" Wisconsin rolled up his sleeves, looking furious and embarrassed at being hit where it hurt. "Don't think that just because you're from New Jersey I won't dare to lay a hand on you, you bastard!"

Chapter 1458 Three Admirals

Despite Wisconsin's enraged declaration that she wanted to follow Iowa tradition and have a spontaneous one-on-one fight with this brat who dared to question her feminine charm, New Jersey's taunts were easily dismissed. After that, no matter how much Wisconsin taunted her with her arms rolled up, New Jersey remained completely uninterested in fighting.

All Xiaobai could hear were Wisconsin's furious shouts.

"Hey! You stinking woman, come and have a one-on-one fight with me at sea!"

"……don't want."

"You had the nerve to talk trash earlier, now you'd better fight me!"

"I don't want to fight."

"You're not allowed to not think about it!"

"...so tired."

"Are you scared? You're scared, you're scared, you're scared!"

"That's it."

"...No! Absolutely not!" Wisconsin angrily waved her arms. "You're an Iowa-class ship girl, how could you be so shameless? We Iowa-class ship girls are always ready to fight!"

"..."

New Jersey didn't speak; she silently looked towards Wisconsin.

"Anyway, let's have a one-on-one fight! If I don't beat you to a pulp today, I'm not Wisconsin!"

Wisconsin stomped her feet, her fair face flushed with anger, and kept shouting at New Jersey.

"..."

New Jersey stared quietly at the fuming Wisconsin. After a few seconds, she silently raised her hand and touched the top of Wisconsin's head, gently stroking it back and forth.

The expression on New Jersey's face.

It's like comforting a child who's throwing a tantrum.

"You...you...you..." Faced with the impenetrable defenses of New Jersey, Wisconsin was finally at her wit's end. She stomped her foot angrily and muttered to New Jersey, "Why are you like this too...I'm not a child...We in Iowa should..."

And then.

Whether it was because New Jersey's head pat was too comforting, or because Wisconsin had really given up, Wisconsin's mutterings grew softer and softer, finally tinged with extreme frustration, as she lowered her head.

After all, even in Wisconsin, you'll feel powerless if you keep attacking a training dummy.

In the end.

Wisconsin ultimately did not go to war with New Jersey.

Xiaobai and the ship girls walked back to Ella's courtyard.

"But I really didn't expect that this ship girl senior is actually New Jersey-neechan. It's quite a surprising fact." As they walked, Missouri gave Shiro a somewhat unexpected smile. "Admiral, how did you find out New Jersey-neechan's identity?"

"Huh? You don't even know Missouri?" Xiaobai asked, somewhat surprised.

"What is it?" Missouri tilted her head.

“It was Iowa who told me about New Jersey’s identity. She also told me that she vaguely understood New Jersey’s identity when she met him… I thought you, Missouri, had sensed it too,” Xiaobai explained to Missouri.

"Ah...I see." After listening to Xiaobai's words, Missouri glanced discreetly at New Jersey and Iowa behind her, a knowing smile appearing on her face. "I see..."

Missouri looked at Little White and shook her head shyly.

“However, I might have to disappoint you, Admiral,” Missouri said with a smile to Xiaobai. “Missouri was kept in the dark before.”

"Uh... so you really didn't know about Missouri... How did Iowa even recognize New Jersey...?"

“Of course, Iowa is the older sister. We, the younger sisters, were born under her radiance. So it’s not strange that she, as the first ship of the Iowa-class, has some mysterious and intuition or feeling for us younger sisters.” Missouri smiled at Little White. “Of course, this is just Missouri’s little guess.”

"Hmm..." Xiaobai hummed in response, turning back to look at New Jersey behind him.

New Jersey was not far behind Xiaobai. She seemed to have developed a great interest in stroking Wisconsin's head. Even now, she was still stroking Wisconsin's head like she was petting a wild cat, leaving Wisconsin with an expression that made her not know what to say.

—In a way, this can be seen as a manifestation of a good sisterly relationship.

perhaps.

"Speaking of which, Missouri, how long have you been waiting for me here?" Xiaobai turned around and asked Missouri beside him.

“Actually, it wasn’t long.” Missouri smiled. “We had just arrived at the iron gate to wait for the admiral when he opened it and came back.”

"Huh? Is it that accurate?"

“Of course.” Missouri seemed quite proud of this. She stretched out a finger and pointed at Little White from a distance. “The bond between the Admiral and us is no less than that of sisters. Even if Missouri can’t sense New Jersey, she can at least vaguely sense when the Admiral will return.”

"...Wow...that feels pretty impressive." Little White was completely taken aback by Missouri.

"Pfft." Missouri covered her mouth and couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Just kidding... Actually, Missouri just knows a little bit of your lifestyle habits because she has spent a lot of time with you, Admiral, such as what time is the latest you choose to go home."

"……"noob.

In a sense, that's quite impressive...

It's more accurate to say it's terrifying.

Xiao Bai silently looked at Missouri's smiling face and scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Missouri, did anything happen here while I was away today?" Little White asked Missouri.

"What kind of thing is the Admiral referring to?"

"For example, have any new top ten admirals arrived, or have Lianlian and Ella contacted me today?" Xiaobai said to Missouri. "Today, there should be some new top ten admirals arriving, right?"

"Hmm... As for the other top ten admirals in the world, Missouri heard other admirals talking about it during lunch today." Missouri thought for a while and said to Xiaobai, "They said that the third and fourth admirals in the world will be arriving a little later due to some special circumstances. However, although they will be a little later, they will arrive with their ship girl units, so it will not delay everyone's mission progress."

"How late?"

"Tomorrow."

"Oh ho." Xiaobai nodded.

“Hmm…” Missouri looked at Xiaobai, a slight smile playing on her lips, “As for Senior Luo Lian and Senior Ella…”

"Uh-huh!"

Xiaobai nodded, looking at Missouri with eager anticipation, waiting for her to speak.

"This morning, Senior Ella sent a note through the maids, saying that Senior Luo Lian's progress in learning rune knowledge is so good that it made her grandfather very happy. As a result, Senior Ella was conscripted to be a tutor and kept in the laboratory by her grandfather to help Miss Luo Lian with her exams. She can't play with you, Admiral," Missouri said to Xiaobai.

"Conscripting men is alright..." Xiao Bai scratched his head and breathed a sigh of relief.

So, it seems that I spent the whole day shopping with Iowa today, and it doesn't seem like I suffered any losses at work.
