Elder brother's garrison

“This…” The researchers exchanged glances, pondered for a moment, and nodded. “Hmm… I can tell you that she is a ship girl belonging to the newbie naval base.”

"Newbie Naval Base..." The ship girl was somewhat dazed upon hearing this.

The reputation of the newbie naval base is so great that it is well-known among any naval base of even slightly higher rank.

Coincidentally, the naval base where this ship girl is located is a naval base that has long admired the reputation of the newbie naval base.

"So it's that ship girl from the naval base... Oh well, whatever." The ship girl frowned as she looked at the researchers' expressions, then shook her head and said as if talking to herself, "Anyway, I haven't gotten used to my new ship equipment yet. Once I do, my training data will skyrocket."

The researchers detected a strong sense of resentment in the voice of the ship girl.

In this regard.

The researchers just smiled helplessly and said nothing more.

This ship girl has definitely gotten too cocky.

Even the daimyo of the rookie naval base couldn't suppress her.

The researchers who have worked in the ship equipment research center for a long time are quite experienced and know very well about this type of ship girl. Although it is true that if the proficiency in ship equipment increases, the training data will improve, but in the end, her final score will at most rise from tenth to ninth, and at best to eighth. The first place is still a very distant dream.

The researchers, of course, would never say that aloud.

Young people, you know...

It's normal for her to be a little arrogant, and she does indeed have some talent and strength.

Although that's what she thinks now, once she returns to her naval base, hones her skills on the tough battlefield for a few years, and then advances to the seventh chapter of the sea, where she truly witnesses the combat power of the top ship girls in the ship girl community, she might realize her own limitations.

Youthful arrogance can also be considered a milestone in one's life achievements.

but.

Just now.

Suddenly, a girl's soft hum came from behind the crowd.

"Hmph, you? Weak and powerless."

Chapter 1650 Key Arrives!

The sound appeared very abruptly.

Just shortly after the ship girl finished speaking.

The researchers, who were just about to end the conversation with smiles, were suddenly taken aback.

Upon hearing this, the ship girl, who was in the center of the researcher's line of sight, immediately darkened her pretty face, looking furious.

"Who!" The ship girl glared at the source of the sound.

The researchers also turned their attention to that direction.

From the source of the sound, Yubari was sitting on a sophisticated instrument, holding a folder and reading it casually, without looking in their direction.

"It's you?!" Upon seeing Yubari, the ship girl gasped sharply, her face showing even more embarrassment and annoyance.

Yubari was the chief engineer in charge of the ship girl's equipment modification. The modification of this ship girl's equipment, from the initial modification concept to the specific blueprints, and finally to the precise modification steps, was completed step by step under Yubari's full leadership.

Because she was very satisfied with the strength of her ship equipment modification, this ship girl still felt a certain degree of gratitude and respect for her ship equipment designer, Yubari. However, she was currently in the most arrogant period of her life, and after boasting, she was ruthlessly slapped in the face by Yubari, which immediately caused her favorability towards Yubari to drop sharply.

"Hey! What did you mean by 'weak and powerless' just now!" Ignoring the researchers around her who were trying to dissuade her, the ship girl angrily walked straight through the layers of measuring instruments and rushed to Yubari, her eyes seemingly spitting fire.

Even though the ship girl was right in front of her, Yubari still leisurely flipped through the folder in her hand.

Yubari looked up at the ship girl in front of her, then closed the folder.

“What I mean is…” Yubari jumped off the instrument, put one hand on her hip, and stared directly at the ship girl in front of her, “You’re dreaming!”

"you……"

"What do you mean, 'you'?! Look at your training stats! Weak backhand, poor forehand, loose body movement, sluggish footwork—not a single movement of yours is decent! You think you can compete with a rookie naval base ship girl?! Dream on!" Yubari glared, hands on her hips, unleashing a torrent of words from the ship girl before her. The words flowed like soda water, a string of witty remarks that made the ship girl stumble back several steps, her face flushed red. "From now on, when you meet people, don't tell them I was in charge of your ship equipment upgrades. I can't afford to lose face like that!"

"You...you..." The ship girl's face instantly turned as red as burning firewood, burning all the way to the roots of her neck. She held back her flushed face, took a few heavy breaths, and shouted at the ship girl, "You...how dare you say that about me...you're just...you're just a ship girl who couldn't make it on the battlefield and came here to escape the fight!"

"Huh?" Yubari was taken aback. "What did you say?"

Yubari's stunned expression stemmed from not having grasped the meaning behind what the ship girl in front of her had said.

But to the ship girls in front of them, it looked more like a dementia that had been hit where it hurt.

The ship girl stomped her foot hard, as if she had regained her home turf, raised her hand, pointed at Yubari's nose, and began to recite the Bible.

"You...you're a ship girl, why aren't you fighting in your own naval base? Why are you here as a researcher? Isn't it because you can't make it on the battlefield?! Why should I, why should I be the one being talked about like this?!" The ship girl stomped her feet and said angrily to Yubari, "You're clearly not good at combat yourself, yet you still criticize others! You're the one who's bad at both offense and defense!"

"..." Yubari stared speechlessly at the ship girl in front of her.

"Hmph, I can't be bothered with you." The ship girl withdrew her arm, snorted, and turned her head. "Anyway, a ship girl of your caliber is just a keyboard warrior on the internet. You probably don't even have the courage to fight me in a real battle. I'll let you off this time, but if I hear you say something like that again, even if you're my ship equipment designer, I'll..."

“Okay.” Yubari nodded, interrupting the ship girl.

"……what?"

"Didn't you say I was a keyboard warrior?" Yubari put down the folder in her hand, rolled up her sleeves, revealing her fair and slender arms.

The ship girl was momentarily stunned.

"Dr. Yubari, this is unacceptable!" Just then, the researchers who had been watching from the port saw Yubari roll up his sleeves and were startled. They rushed over, crying, "This is unacceptable! This is unacceptable!"

"Dr. Yubari, you're a researcher! How could you fight with a battle ship girl..."

"Besides, Dr. Yubari, you're a light cruiser, while this ship girl is a refitted battleship. How can a light cruiser fight a battleship?!"

"Dr. Yubari, you are so magnanimous, please don't hold it against a junior like me..."

"..."

For a moment, the researchers looked tense and anxious as they tried to persuade Yubari.

"Light cruiser..." The ship girl looked at the researchers around Yubari and suddenly realized something, then her expression became somewhat embarrassed.

So this person is a light cruiser ship girl!

The difference in physique between ship girls is absolute. Battleship ship girls have high armor, high damage, and high critical hit rate in their ship equipment. Light cruiser shells are like polishing a light cruiser's shells. A single shot from a battleship can easily leave a light cruiser ship girl heavily damaged. If Yubari really fights with me, it would be my battleship bullying a light cruiser. If word gets out, even if I win, it would be an embarrassing and laughable incident.

"You're not thinking... that even if you beat me, it won't do you any good, are you?" Yubari ignored the researchers around her, instead carefully looking at the ship girl's face, raising an eyebrow as she spoke to her.

"……how?"

“I advise you not to think about the future,” Yubari said. “...After all, even if I were a light cruiser, you might not be able to beat me at your level.”

Upon hearing this, even the ship girls who were somewhat resistant felt their tempers flare up instantly.

"Alright! Let's have a drill then!" The ship girl pointed fiercely at the port and shouted at Yuubari, "Then do you dare to go to the lake and fight me right now!"

"...Aren't you going to rest for a bit?"

"I do not need!"

"Isn't that me bullying you?" Yubari looked at him with pity. "What if I win and you try to get away with it by saying you're not fully rested? I don't want to waste my time playing a second match with you."

"I'm not that kind of person!"

"Didn't you just say that you weren't familiar with the ship equipment yet, otherwise you would have broken the record for the newbie naval base?"

"You..." The ship girl almost coughed up blood from Yubari's words. She took several heavy breaths, then stared at Yubari's face, her eyes filled with a fierce determination to win. "Fine... give me five minutes to rest. See you on the lake in five minutes! Don't try to run away!"

After saying that, the ship girl strode over and sat down on a nearby seat, then picked up a bottle of mineral water and gulped it down.

The researchers around Yubari stared blankly at Yubari and the ship girl, looking awkwardly speechless.

"Dr. Yubari...you...why are you taking this so seriously with a junior?"

"It's a battleship, after all..."

"If a fight really breaks out, and Dr. Yubari gets injured, given your status, the consequences would be dire..."

The researchers said with worried expressions.

The researchers complained.

Yubari simply rubbed his forehead and crossed his arms.

indeed.

Although this ship girl became somewhat arrogant after her ship equipment was upgraded, the ship equipment center has encountered more than one or two ship girls with inflated egos who were temporarily blinded by the thrill of becoming stronger.

Even if these ship girls are left unattended, the admiral in charge of them will eventually teach them a lesson and correct their mindset.

Strictly speaking, neither Yubari nor the researchers need to take these ship girls too seriously.

but.

Even when surrounded by researchers.

At this moment, Yubari showed no remorse whatsoever. She simply raised her head slightly, ignoring the voices of the researchers around her, and let out a soft hum.

If it were just a case of ordinary arrogance, Yubari would indeed not bother with it.

Even if we take a step back, Yubari will not allow any person or ship girl to dare to underestimate a newbie naval base.

The newbie garrison is clearly meant for you to look up to!

Who gave you permission to chase after them?

presumptuous!

Chapter 1651 Gundam

The news that Yubari was going to conduct exercises with the training ship girls spread like wildfire, reaching the ears of the researchers who remained by the lake to conduct observation experiments almost in the blink of an eye.

When the researchers who were fiddling with the mechanical instruments by the lake first heard the news, they thought they had just heard some idle person making up a silly joke and didn't pay any attention to it.

But very quickly.

As they began to notice the increasing number of researchers gathering at the lakeside port where Yubari was located, and the atmosphere becoming strangely heated, the researchers gradually sensed something different. Driven by their curiosity, they slowly made their way to the vicinity of the port.

The researchers squeezed into the crowd.

All that could be seen was an open space surrounded by the crowd.

With a calm expression, Yubari stood in the spotlight. She and another ship girl were standing at opposite ends of the open space. The two did not look at each other, but stayed in their respective positions, resting their ship equipment and warming up.

Although there was no communication between Yubari and the ship girl, it was obvious to the researchers present that there was a tense atmosphere between the two.

The researchers who arrived after hearing the news were stunned by the scene.

—Wow, could it be that what I just heard wasn't a vulgar joke, but that Dr. Yubari was really going to have a drill with this ship girl?

It wasn't just the researchers who were surprised.

Even the ship girl who had just had a verbal altercation with Yubari was now extremely puzzled.

The ship girl gulped down her sports drink, frowning as she sat in her seat, waiting alone for the five minutes of rest that Yubari had promised her.

—No matter what I say... I am, after all, a modified battleship ship girl.

Battleships, as large warships, are least afraid of one-on-one combat, especially when facing light cruisers whose firepower and armor are significantly weaker than their own. In such cases, battleships have an overwhelming chance of winning.

Why would this light cruiser girl, knowing all this, still want to practice with me?

No matter how hard the ship girl thought about it, she couldn't understand it.

So, while drinking water, the ship girl glanced sideways at Yubari in the distance.

Yubari stood calmly in the distance, still in the same spot. Although it was warm-up time before the exercise, Yubari only symbolically swung his arms and loosened the muscles in his wrists. His warm-up was so perfunctory that he didn't even bother to take off his large white coat.

See this scene.

The ship girl was filled with anger.

No matter what... Yubari's warm-up attitude was really underestimating himself.

The ship girl angrily put down the beverage bottle, squeezed it hard, and the bottle made a creaking sound. A large amount of clear beverage overflowed from the bottle and splashed onto the ground.

She herself is a ship girl who ranked in the top ten in the Ship Equipment Research Center!

The researchers at the ship equipment center all give him face these days, but she's the only one who's so arrogant, daring to treat him like this!

Thinking of this, the ship girl felt a mix of anger and confusion, and she turned her head to look at the nearby researchers.

Most of the researchers present knew Yubari. Seeing that Yubari and the ship girls were about to start the exercise, these researchers did not dare to come up and dissuade them. They could only stay where they were and whisper about the ins and outs of the exercise. Among them, a few researchers were introducing Yubari's background to people around them who were not familiar with her.

The ship girls also took the opportunity to use their ship girl-level hearing to eavesdrop.

"Dr. Yubari is a veteran employee who has worked at the Ship Equipment Research Center for several years. Don't let her being a ship girl fool you; her expertise in ship equipment technology surpasses all of ours combined. The paper that recently shocked the academic world on the prospects for modifying the ship equipment of high-speed battleships, led by the Iowa-class, was published by Dr. Yubari..."

"Wow, that's amazing!"
