Elder brother's garrison

Missouri had booked a private cabin ticket for the midday train at the train station well in advance.

Xiaobai and the ship girls rested for a few more hours at the hotel. As the train departure time approached, the ship girls in Xiaobai's room were a little more drowsy. Xiaobai and Missouri then woke them up one by one, left the hotel, and carried the unconscious Deepsea Ryujo to the train station.

After squeezing onto the train on time, Saratoga, Wisconsin, Changchun, and other ship girls, who hadn't had a good night's sleep, couldn't wait to crawl into the four-person train compartment, each choosing a bed, pulling up their blankets, and settling into a peaceful sleep.

Xiaobai, Missouri, and Iowa took Deep Sea Dragon into the next room.

After settling the sleeping Deepsea Dragon on the bed, Iowa smiled and took out a bag of apples from the ship's equipment space, saying that she would wash some fruit for Xiaobai to eat, before leaving the private room.

Inside the private compartment, Xiaobai and Missouri sat quietly on a bed, close together, watching Shenhai Longxiang's sleeping face on the opposite bed, feeling the slight swaying of the train, and listening to the rhythmic clattering of the train moving forward.

"Pfft." Missouri was quiet for a moment, then suddenly lowered her head, covered her mouth, and laughed.

"Missouri?" Little White turned his head curiously to look at Missouri. "What's wrong with you?"

"No, no." Missouri lightly touched her lips with her fingertips, shook her head, and glanced at Little White beside her with a nostalgic look. "Missouri just suddenly remembered the last time she and the Admiral were alone in a train carriage."

Xiaobai was taken aback at first. She looked up at Missouri's face beside her, and her gaze was subconsciously drawn to Missouri's fingertips, drifting to Missouri's full lips. Then her face quickly turned bright red.

"Uh……"

The last time Missouri and Little White were alone together was on their way to pick up Wisconsin.

At that time, Xiaobai had only recently given Missouri a ring, and her feelings for her wedding ship were still hazy. Her relationship with Missouri was far from as intimate as it is now.

Then, on that train, during the time they were alone together, Xiaobai and Missouri's relationship gradually changed from slightly awkward to more familiar with each other under Missouri's "aggressive advances."

“Speaking of which, the Admiral has been very busy ever since that incident,” Missouri whispered to Shiro. “Missouri has almost forgotten what it feels like to be alone with you, Admiral.”

"I...I'm sorry," Xiaobai said to Missouri, feeling embarrassed.

Seeing Xiaobai's apologetic expression, Missouri's lips curled up slightly.

“Missouri didn’t mean to blame the Admiral; she’s certainly seen how busy he’s been.” Misssouri chuckled softly, glancing at the train cabin door with a playful glint in her eyes. “However… Sister Iowa is out washing fruit now, so it’s just Misssouri and the Admiral in the room. Admiral, we—”

As Missouri spoke, she touched her lower lip with her fingertip and pointed meaningfully towards Little White.

Xiao Bai's face immediately burned.

"There's... there's another one in the room..."

Xiao Bai, her face flushed, pointed at Shenhai Longxiang lying on the opposite bed and said.

Missouri followed Xiaobai's finger and looked at the Deep Sea Dragon on the bed.

"The admiral is right."

Missouri nodded.

"..."

Xiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief, but for some reason felt a little lost.

Missouri looked at Little White and a mischievous glint appeared on her face.

"So... does the Admiral mean he wants something a little more exciting?"

"Eh?"

Xiao Bai was taken aback.

Xiao Bai was about to look up.

I felt Missouri gently pinch my chin.

Missouri's fair and delicate face was right in front of his, smiling.

"Missouri, wait..."

"Shhh."

"..."

"Your hardworking ship is asking for its reward for its hard work. For the sake of the ship girl's hard work and well-being, please don't refuse, dear Admiral."

"..."

"In front of Senior Ryujo..." Missouri slowly lowered her head, leaning closer to Xiaobai, "Admiral, please rest assured, the sedative dose Missouri used on Senior Ryujo... was very strong. At least for now, Senior Ryujo will absolutely, absolutely, absolutely not wake up..."

"……"noob.

Missouri's cheek gradually pressed against Little White's cheek.

A rustling sound emerged as soft skin pressed together.

"Chirp."

Clunk clunk clunk—

The only sound in the train compartment was the train's clattering on the tracks.

Bright sunlight streamed in through the train window, illuminating Xiaobai and Missouri. Through their bodies, the shadows of their overlapping heads were cast onto the head of Shenhai Longxiang, who was sleeping on the opposite bed.

The private room was very quiet.

But Deep Sea Dragon Flying frowned as he lay on the bed.

She pursed her lips, her little hands trembling on the blanket, trying to turn over, but she was too sleepy to do so.

The small hand that the Deep Sea Dragon was waving in mid-air fell down.

The shadow covering Deep Sea Dragon's face swayed slightly, landing precisely on Deep Sea Dragon's eyelids.

Deep Sea Dragon tilted its head groggily.

The sleeping dragon of the deep sea.

now.

I felt a little uncomfortable, like I'd been fed dog food.

As the strongest esper, I was threatened by my sister.

The following is a brief introduction

The father remarried, but the stepmother brought home a cold and aloof younger sister.

Father: See that pretty girl? Go after her!

Han Mo: Huh?

As the strongest ability user, I'm ordered to pick up girls?

But later we discovered that this younger sister seemed to have some problems?

Chapter 1514 Iowa's Thoughts

The door is pushed open.

Iowa returned to the private room with a smile, carrying a plate of freshly rinsed, glistening red apples.

"Admiral, the apples are washed. Should we cut them into rabbit shapes later, or perhaps..." Iowa's words suddenly stopped halfway through.

Iowa opened his eyes and quietly watched the scene inside the private room.

Inside the room.

Deep Sea Dragon was curled up at the head of the bed, sleeping soundly with a pained expression.

Opposite Deepsea Dragon was Missouri and Little White, who were sitting at opposite ends of a bed.

Missouri wore a serene and contented smile as she quietly combed her long, pale blonde hair with her fingers.

On the other side, Little White didn't seem as calm as Missouri. Little White was leaning against the railing, her face still flushed, her eyes watery, as if she had done something shameful and was panting heavily.

Iowa's gaze lingered on Xiaobai's lips for a few seconds.

Xiao Bai's lips seemed much shinier than when Iowa left the room.

"..." Iowa.

"Ah, Iowa, you're back..." Little White, leaning against the bed, smiled awkwardly at Iowa. "Well... anyway, thank you for your hard work... no need to peel the apple, just eat it directly."

"I feel like I came at the wrong time," Iowa sighed helplessly, giving Missouri a rather resentful look for a while.

“No, Iowa, you’ve come at just the right time.” Missouri put down her hand that was combing her hair and smiled at Iowa at the door. “Missouri and the Admiral were just talking about Senior Ryujo.”

"Longxiang... is it my sister?"

The suspicion in Iowa's eyes lasted only a few seconds before disappearing completely after Iowa shrugged slightly.

Iowa, holding an apple, walked between Little White and Missouri and sat on the bed.

"So, what Missouri meant by what she just said was that she wanted to ask for my opinion on how Longxiang is treated?" Iowa said with a light laugh, picking up a bright red apple and taking out a fruit knife from her ship's equipment space. With a couple of quick slashes, she sliced ​​off a rabbit-shaped piece of apple flesh.

Iowa put down the fruit knife and pinched the apple flesh in front of Xiaobai.

"Admiral~"

"Ah, you don't need to peel it specially for me... I'll just take this normal one... Ooh." Just as Xiaobai was about to reach into Iowa's arms to pick up an apple, Iowa had already gently pushed the rabbit-shaped apple slice into Xiaobai's mouth with her finger.

Iowa's soft touch on Xiaobai's lips was fleeting.

"Is it delicious?" Iowa asked Xiaobai with a smile.

"..." Little White chewed on the fruit, smiled shyly at Iowa, and nodded gently, "Mmm..."

“I see.” Iowa peeled a second slice of apple and held it to Missouri’s lips. “However, regarding Sister Longxiang, she is, after all, the Deep Sea Dean, whom you, Missouri, brought back with your help. I don’t think I have much say in this matter, do I?”

“No way, Sister Iowa, you’re quick-witted and considerate. You’re definitely better than Missouri when it comes to dealing with people.” Missouri said, gently brushing a stray hair behind her ear and taking a bite of the apple slice that Iowa offered. “Thank you for the apple, Sister Iowa—then Missouri won’t be polite.”

“I see.” Iowa cut an apple slice and offered it to Little White’s mouth. “Since the Admiral and Missouri trust me so much, how about I listen to a little bit? What were you talking about just now?”

“It’s just some trivial stuff about Senior Ryujo,” Missouri said to Iowa with a smile. “Senior Ryujo is different from the other Abyssal Headmasters of the Naval Base. Long before she joined the Newcomer Naval Base, Senior Ryujo had already mastered human language and possessed a well-developed intellectual mind…”

As Missouri finished speaking, Iowa had already brought the apple slices to her lips.

Missouri stopped talking and bit into the apple slice that Iowa pushed towards her.

"So, Sister Longxiang is a long-established Dean of the Deep Sea, right?" Iowa said with a smile.

“Sister is wise.” Missouri swallowed the apple, nodded and smiled at Iowa, “Although Senior Ryujo didn’t tell the Admiral, Senior Ryujo should be just as you said, Sister Iowa, a senior abbot with a long history.”

"After all, the intelligence of the newly evolved Deep Sea Dean is about the same as that of a child," Xiaobai interjected.

Bismarck and Tirpitz of the Deep Sea were beaten up and taken back to the naval base by Shiro shortly after they evolved into Deep Sea Deans.

Xiao Bai is quite familiar with the mindset of this "early deep-sea dean". Even if Xiao Bai teaches them human language through the will of the deep sea, there is still a long way to go before they can grow into outstanding and independent women.

Raising a deep-sea dean is truly an incredibly long and arduous task.

Xiao Bai was just thinking about this.

My lips suddenly felt cold.

Iowa pushed the last piece of apple flesh to her mouth.

"So, Admiral and Missouri, what is it that you want my opinion on?" Iowa asked with a smile.

"Ah...uh..." Little White chewed on the fruit and scratched his cheek.

“It seems that Senior Ryujo won’t join the naval base as easily as the other Abyssal seniors,” Missouri said to Iowa, picking up where Xiaobai left off. “The long years have fortunately allowed Senior Ryujo to grow into an upright Abyssal dean, and have also given him independent thinking and a sense of collective honor. After our interaction last night, Missouri also sensed a firm will in Senior Ryujo—at least simple food and toys are unlikely to change Senior Ryujo’s mind.”

"So, Missouri, you want to ask me if there's a way to make Sister Longxiang submit and obey the Admiral from now on?" Iowa asked.

“Exactly.” Missouri nodded with a smile.

"I see..." Iowa reluctantly put down the fruit plate in her hand, sighed with some emotion, cupped her face in her hands, and said, "So, in Missouri's eyes... I'm such a scheming woman?"

"No. Missouri just felt that if it were Iowa, she would definitely lend a helping hand when Missouri needed it."

"That's it..."

"What are your thoughts on Senior Longxiang's matter, Sister Iowa?"

“Hmm…that’s true, but I don’t have that many options.” Iowa said, her gaze shifting to the sleeping face of the Deep Sea Dragon. “In my humble opinion, the reasons for the Deep Sea Ships’ hostility towards humans are different from those of the Deep Sea Deans. The Deep Sea Deans mostly act out of an innate sense of mission and the drive of their species—in their eyes, perhaps the human world is just another dark ocean that must be conquered.”

“That’s easy to understand,” Missouri nodded.

"So, after the Admiral led the Deep Sea Deans to experience the beauty of the human world, and made them realize that the human world is not a dark and empty ocean, but a magical land full of dazzling flowers, vibrant colors, entertainment, and events, the sense of mission in the Deep Sea Deans' hearts should have been extinguished," Iowa said to Missouri. "After all, on one side is a lonely, empty, forever dark and silent sea, without a community or communication, and on the other side is a warm, lively land full of joy and entertainment. Any normal person would be shaken."

“But Senior Longxiang’s will is surprisingly firm.” Missouri nodded.

“Sister Longxiang must have her own reasons, right?” Iowa smiled and looked at Missouri. “Everything in the world has a cause and effect. As long as we trace back to the reason why Sister Longxiang’s will is so firm, we should have a corresponding solution.”

"The reason for her unwavering resolve..." Missouri nodded in agreement, gently tapping her chin. "The reason why Senior Longxiang is so resolute seems to be what she said before: she would never betray her friends?"
