"Xiaobai, you're asking about the three younger sisters who came back with the main group this time, right?" Lexington nodded slightly and smiled. "Yes... I've already met them, and they're all very nice younger sisters."
What are they doing now?
"As for Super Yamato... originally, Renown and I wanted her to do the same maid work as Yamato before, but Yamato said that despite Super Yamato's mature appearance, she's still a child at heart and inexperienced, so we brought Super Yamato back to the Bismarck family." Lexington smiled slightly helplessly as she said this. "Yamato said she would be responsible for training Super Yamato until she felt Super Yamato was capable of being a maid. She also said that as a condition for letting her train Super Yamato, she would take over all the work that Super Yamato should have done in the meantime."
"Huh? Yamato-neechan bought it all?"
"Yes."
"Uh..." Xiaobai paused, pursed her lips, and said, "Then Yamato-neechan must be working really hard..."
When Yamato was at the naval base, she already had to clean up after her lazy sister Musashi every day, thus doing a lot of work. This time, she also took on the job of being a maid, which is almost equivalent to Yamato doing the work of three people.
Just listening to it is exhausting.
"You don't need to worry about that, Xiaobai." Lexington laughed as he looked at Xiaobai's worried expression. "Right now, our naval base is short of everything except maids. The workload of the entire naval base is only so much. If it's spread out among the maids, each person can't do much work each day. Even if Yamato does three jobs a day now, it's still much less than the workload she had when she first became a maid."
"Oh! Is that so?" Xiaobai said, understanding dawning on him.
"Of course, after all, Yamato is a married ship, and now she's practically a mistress. She's already spoken up, how could I, a poor laborer, dare to make things difficult for her?" Lexington said jokingly.
"Uh..." Xiaobai scratched his head sheepishly, "How are Longxiang and Loki doing?"
“Long Xiang and Loki? They…” Lexington was about to speak.
suddenly.
Two knocks sounded outside the office door.
"Reporting in." A cool voice rang out from the doorway.
"Good timing." Lexington raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing the voice, and waved to the figure at the door with a smile. "Loki, you've come at the perfect time. Come and see who's here?"
Everyone stopped writing and looked towards the office door, where a figure was standing with his hand on the door, attracting everyone's attention.
It was Loki, who had already changed into the maid outfit for the newbie naval base.
Under the gaze of everyone.
Lexington beckoned Loki to his side, then affectionately put his arm around Loki's shoulder and began introducing him to the little white dog.
"Of all the people you brought back last time, Xiaobai, Loki is the most perceptive. Not only is she skilled as a maid, but she is also earnest and likable. She has a keen eye and is highly regarded and loved by the Prestige. She has helped us a lot in our daily lives, and I really like this child. I think it won't be long before we have another official maid in our naval base."
Loki walked up to Little White, her gaze following Lexington's direction to Little White. Her expression was serene and calm as she gave Little White a slight bow.
"Hello, Master."
"Hello Loki!" Little White smiled and took Loki's hand, greeting him warmly. "It seems you're doing very well at the naval base! Congratulations!"
"Thank you, Master." Loki's eyebrows twitched slightly when Little White took her hand, but his expression remained calm. "I am grateful for Miss Lexington's high regard."
“Lexington doesn’t trust people easily. The reason Loki is so highly regarded by Lexington is because you have the corresponding abilities, right?” Little White said to Loki with a smile. “To gain the recognition of so many people in just a few days, you are truly amazing, Loki!”
“…” Loki.
Chapter 1748 All Members in the Deep Sea
Loki remained silent, not replying to Xiaobai. Perhaps she tacitly agreed with Xiaobai's statement, or perhaps she simply felt that if she were to explain further, Xiaobai would utter even more embarrassing praise, so she abandoned that idea.
"Loki, isn't Longxiang with you?" Little White asked Loki.
“Longxiang is receiving training with the Head Maid of Reputation and is not with me,” Loki said to Little White.
"Huh? Oh..." Xiaobai blinked.
“Longxiang isn’t like Loki, who came with such mature maid skills right away. When she first arrived at the naval base, Longxiang didn’t seem to be able to distinguish between a towel and a rag. So, in order to train her basic skills, Reputation was responsible for quickly training Longxiang into an excellent rookie naval base maid,” Lexington explained to Xiaobai.
"I see..." Xiaobai nodded.
makes sense.
Because of the master-servant relationship, Deepsea Yamato only took on the work that Super Yamato did in the naval base. As for Deepsea Ryujo's work... well, it's still whoever's job it is.
"Then... please tell Reputation for me to make sure she gets some rest and isn't too harsh on her," Little White said to Lexington.
“I will pass on the message,” Lexington said with a bright smile. “Hopefully, it will be in time.”
As for what Lexington meant by "hope there's still time"... Xiaobai knew nothing, and dared not ask anything.
"Loki, what do you think of the naval base?" Little White took Loki's hand and asked him.
“…This is an incredible place,” Loki replied after a moment of silence.
Loki has been at the newbie naval base for several days now. As the little maid that Lexington trusts the most, she must have already seen the ecosystem of the newbie naval base. So, when she says something incredible, Xiaobai knows that Loki is referring to the amazing scene of the two natural enemies, the Abyssal Deans and the ship girls, coexisting harmoniously in the newbie naval base.
Little White didn't mind the strange tone Loki used when he said it was unbelievable. Instead, he smiled and squeezed Loki's cool, soft hand, and continued to ask Loki questions.
"Loki, do you like it here?"
“Hmm.” Loki nodded.
It seems Loki had a pretty straightforward answer to this question.
"I'm glad you like it. Oh, by the way," Little White smiled happily, pointed behind her, and continued to Loki, "Loki, look! Who did I bring back for you this time?"
Loki looked in the direction Little White pointed.
Behind the sofa in the admiral's office lay a strange ship girl, her body ashen and devoid of fighting spirit, completely relegated to the background.
A hint of confusion flashed in Loki's eyes; she tilted her head slightly, indicating her bewilderment.
“Loki, this is the person who gave you the Deep Sea Aura Shielding Device twenty years ago,” Little White said softly to Loki. “Her name is Vesta, and she is a supply ship girl.”
After hearing what Little White said, Loki was taken aback, and his gaze toward Vesta changed.
Although the goddess of the hearth on the sofa had been in a state of despair, her ears were sharp. Listening to the commotion, she guessed Loki's identity. So, facing the person she had once helped, the goddess of the hearth sat up abruptly, and the colors on her clothes gradually returned to normal.
"Cough cough, cough cough..."
The goddess of the hearth coughed twice in a serious manner, looked at Loki with a serious expression, and then straightened her back as if to put on airs.
"Master, may I go say hello?" Loki asked Whitey.
"Of course," Xiaobai nodded.
"Then let go, Master." Loki's gaze slowly fell on the hand that was gripping the back of his hand tightly.
"Ah...uh, sorry..." Xiaobai quickly let go of her hands.
Loki stepped forward and bowed deeply to the goddess of the hearth.
"Hello. My name is Loki. It's nice to meet you."
"Hmm... Hello there." The goddess of the hearth looked Loki over seriously and nodded. "You've done quite well in human society these past twenty years, haven't you? Hmm! It seems my choice back then was indeed correct."
"Thank you so much for your help back then."
"It's nothing, just a small favor..."
Loki and Shemira started exchanging pleasantries, one after the other.
As Loki and Vesta were talking, a strange look flashed in Mutsu's eyes as he stood next to Whitebeard.
Mutsu is a quick-witted ship girl. In the conversation between Loki and the others after Loki entered the office, there were many keywords that caught her attention.
"Deep-sea aura shielding device..." Mutsu murmured, recalling Shiro's words, a look of confusion on his face. "Admiral, what does 'deep-sea aura shielding device' mean?"
"As the name suggests, it's equipment that can shield you from the aura of the deep sea," Xiaobai explained to Mutsu.
"What's the use of that thing?" Mutsu asked.
"It's still very useful..." Xiaobai said, then realized what she meant and earnestly explained to Mutsu, "Speaking of which, I don't think I've told you yet, Loki isn't actually a ship girl, but a deep-sea dean."
“Dean of the Deep Sea…” A hint of surprise appeared on Mutsu’s usually composed face.
"Yes, Dean Shenhai."
For Mutsu, a civilian ship girl who has been fighting in the deep sea for many years... or rather, for all ship girls except for the newbie naval base, hostility towards the deep-sea ships has become an almost instinctive reaction. The concept that the deep sea equals the enemy is deeply ingrained and difficult to change, not to mention the most powerful and rarest deep-sea captain among the deep-sea ships.
Mutsu never expected that someone like the Deep Sea Dean would join his naval base!
In every sense, this is a reality that is quite challenging for Mutsu to accept.
"Admiral...you're not kidding, are you?" Mutsu looked at Loki's figure in disbelief and asked Whitey in a daze.
“It’s true, I’m not kidding.” Xiaobai nodded, then said seriously to Mutsu, “Um… Mutsu, I understand how you feel right now, but please rest assured, although Loki is the Dean of the Deep Sea, she is not the kind of Dean of the Deep Sea that you think of… She is very rational, considerate and gentle, and will not do anything to hurt us.”
"Ah, this..." Mutsu's astonishment was hard to hide.
"While the general direction of people's understanding of Deepsea Abominations isn't wrong, there are still some misconceptions. Although Deepseas are born from Deepsea Abominations, they are highly intelligent and knowledgeable life forms, far from being as uncommunicative and brutal as humans imagine." Little White paused slightly, then beckoned to Loki, who was talking to Vesta. "Loki, can you come here for a second?"
Loki bid farewell to the goddess of the hearth and walked back to the little white creature.
Little White extends his palm toward Loki, palm facing up.
Loki understood.
Loki bowed slightly, bringing his height to the level of Whitebeard's hand, and then placed his face on Whitebeard's palm, letting Whitebeard's palm support his chin. He then obediently maintained his position, displaying a very docile demeanor.
“Look,” Little White cupped Loki’s face and smiled at Mutsu, “I know it might be hard for you to accept these things right now, and I won’t try to persuade you to change your mind. But if you have any doubts about my ideas, you can observe Loki with your own eyes. I believe Loki will make you agree with her through her actions.”
"..." Mutsu stared blankly at Loki.
Xiao Bai lowered his hand, gesturing for Luo Ji to stand up.
Loki extended his palm toward Mutsu, making a gesture of asking for a handshake.
Mutsu remained silent for a moment, then silently reached out and shook hands with Loki.
"Hello," Loki said.
“…Hmm.” Mutsu observed Loki’s face and nodded hesitantly.
This was also the first time in Mutsu's life that he had observed a deep-sea dean.
Loki's palms were cool and soft.
Loki's skin is strikingly white, and her aura and presence are slightly different from those of normal ship girls.
Apart from that, they are no different from humans or ship girls.
It feels like... like we can actually talk on the phone.
She wasn't as tyrannical as the legendary Deep Sea Deans... In fact, she was kind of cute when she obediently offered her head to the Admiral just now...
Mutsu felt a little wavering.
Mutsu suddenly realized that he couldn't understand others with worldly views. Although the Deep Sea Dean was the embodiment of cruelty and ruthlessness, the world was so big, and among hundreds of Deep Sea Deans, how could a kind-hearted Deep Sea Dean suddenly appear, like a genetic mutation?
hope so.
Anyway, it's just a Deep Sea Dean, nothing serious. Having a Deep Sea Dean in the Naval Base shows that Xiaobai's Naval Base is more inclusive, befitting the style of the world's number one Naval Base.
Thinking of this, Mutsu felt slightly relieved.
But right away.
The very next second that Mutsu felt relieved.
The office door was pushed open with a whoosh.
"Little White?! I heard you guys were back! Wow! You're here!"
Suddenly, Deepsea Yamato, Deepsea Musashi, Super Yamato, Pachina, Cat House, and other Deepsea Deans rushed into the office, transforming into a wave of maids and surging towards Shiro.
"Huh? What's going on with you guys, Yamato-neechan...?"
Xiao Bai looked at the maids who ran into the office with surprise.
Mutsu stood there, stunned, watching the deep-sea deans rush in.
These deep-sea deans, like Loki, possessed similar pale complexions and a mysterious aura. If it were the old Mutsu, he would at most think that these girls had the demeanor of exotic beauties and wouldn't think much of it. However, after seeing Loki with his own eyes, Mutsu could tell at a glance that these were girls just like Loki.
That is.
Everyone is in the deep sea.
