Xiaobai is the most soft-hearted person.
When Feigel looked at him like that, Xiaobai immediately couldn't take it anymore.
“Okay… alright.” Xiaobai gave a wry smile and said to Figel, “Anyway, I also need to consider how to conceal your whereabouts… It’s easy for me that you volunteered to stay here… Hmm… However, while it’s fine, you have to promise me a few things if you want to stay here. First, you can’t contact anyone who comes here except me, and you can’t reveal your whereabouts to anyone. Second, you can’t use your ship’s equipment to make too much noise here without my permission. Third… until I come back for you, you can move around in this area, but you absolutely cannot leave here to go anywhere else. Is that alright?”
"Mmm." Figel nodded to Little White like a puppy, looking obedient.
"Sigh." Xiaobai sighed.
As a giant baby aged thirty minutes, Figel's independence seems far too early...
Xiao Bai suddenly had a subtle feeling that her own child had grown up and was about to go on a long journey.
A mother worries when her son travels a thousand miles.
Xiao Bai waved to Figel with a hint of heartache.
Figel bent down and brought his head close to Little White's face.
Xiaobai removed the black captain's hat from Figel's head, ruffled the only patch of white hair on Figel's body, and whispered to Figel, "...I'm also a bit helpless here. I can't stay with you while you stay here, and I may not be able to visit you every day. You must take good care of yourself here by yourself...I'll bring you some snacks or toys to pass the time next time I come."
“…” Figel.
"That's all." Xiaobai withdrew her hand and neatly put Figel's captain's hat back on Figel's head. "Then I'll head back now, bye-bye."
"..." Figel straightened up and waved to Little White.
Xiao Bai turned and left, glancing back at Figel every now and then.
Figel stood there watching Little White's departing figure until it completely disappeared from her sight. Only then did Figel squat down and simmer most of her body underwater, leaving only her head, wearing a black captain's hat, on the surface, drifting away to the side.
Chapter 2000 The Temptation of Lexington
Actually, leaving Figel alone in the ruins area is not a bad solution.
Little White's home is right under the nose of the Black Spire. If Frederick the Great, who lives in the Black Spire, is bored and comes out to keep watch when Little White goes back, and accidentally sees Little White and Figel going home one after the other, who knows what kind of trouble it might cause.
After all, although Figel was remade by the will of the deep sea and reborn as a new life, his appearance has not changed at all. Frederick the Great and Barbarossa... even Kamikaze and the others are very likely to recognize Figel's face. When they see that Figel, who should have died, is back alive and well with Shiro, who knows how they will react.
Xiao Bai felt it was better to avoid trouble.
In any case, Figel has already left his spiritual imprint in his body, forming the deepest link with Xiaobai. It won't be difficult for Xiaobai to find Figel. The area in the ruins is not usually one that the Deep Sea Dean is willing to approach, making it a good choice as a temporary shelter for Figel.
As Xiaobai pondered this in his mind, he left the ruins area and hurried back to the building where he and Chao Yamato had come from.
Back in the building.
Inside the building, the daily necessities that Xiaobai had brought back from the furniture store had been neatly arranged by Chaoda and placed in the lobby on the first floor. Even the camping tent and folding bed were set up and placed together. Chaoda and himself were squatting by the camping tent, with their backs to the main entrance, looking dejected.
"Super Yamato, I'm back!" Shiro called out as he walked in the door.
"!"
Upon hearing Shiro's voice, Chao Yamato's back trembled slightly. Chao Yamato slowly turned his head and looked at Shiro with teary eyes.
"Admiral...Admiral..." Chao Dahe murmured Xiao Bai's name through his teary, blurry eyes.
"Huh? Super Yamato, what's wrong with you..." Shiro was startled by Super Yamato's appearance.
"Admiral—" Before Xiaobai could finish his question, Chao Yamato jumped to his feet, shouting Xiaobai's name as he rushed towards him, only stopping when he had Xiaobai in a tight embrace. "Admiral, you...you've suffered..."
Chao Dahe's voice was filled with pity and self-blame.
"Huh?" Xiaobai was completely confused. Feeling the cold touch in Chao Yahe's arms, she looked up in confusion, "Chao Yahe, what's wrong with you? Why are you like this all of a sudden..."
"Admiral...you, you've been out with that woman all afternoon...it's already dark." Chaoda released Xiaobai, his eyes blurry with tears, and said to Xiaobai, "She...she must have...and...and had so much time...Admiral, you must have been humiliated..."
"……"noob.
Oh.
Yes.
Not to mention how huge it was, even Xiaobai himself almost forgot that he had just gone out with Kamikaze.
Xiaobai didn't reply to Chao Yahe immediately, but instead turned to look at the sky outside the door.
Ok.
it's dark.
From the moment I set off with Kamikaze, to exploring the ruins, and finally taking a stroll through the Savoy territory before returning, the various events that occurred along the way probably took about five or six hours...
Xiaobai shifted her gaze back to Chao Yamato, lingering for a moment on Chao Yamato's red, tear-filled eyes.
understood.
It's too big and there's been a misunderstanding.
"Super Yamato, it's not what you think..." Xiaobai gave a wry smile, gently patting Super Yamato's waist as she explained, "This is also my fault... A lot happened after I left, and I couldn't let you know right away, making you wait at home for so long..."
"Huh? That woman didn't attack you, Admiral?" Chao Yamato looked up at Shiro with hopeful eyes.
"Uh... no, that's not it..."
"Waaaah..." Chao Yamato's tears were about to well up again, "As expected..."
"Cough cough cough!" Xiaobai coughed awkwardly twice, quickly stopping Chao Yahe, and then slowly explained to Chao Yahe, "Don't worry, she didn't succeed!"
"Then, Admiral, you've been gone for so long..."
"A lot happened in between... Come on, let me tell you." Shiro took Yamato's hand, led him to the folding bed, plopped down on it, and said to Yamato, "Just after Kamikaze and I went out..."
Xiaobai briefly told Shenfeng about some of the things that happened after she went out.
After hearing Xiaobai's story...
Chao Da stood there, stunned, blinking blankly, looking like he couldn't process so much information.
"The city... is it ancient humans? Savoy joined our ranks? The admiral found the corpses of other deep-sea deities on the seabed? And the admiral even resurrected the corpses?" Super Dahe covered his head and shook his head for a long time.
"This information might be a little hard for you to accept... but don't worry, all of this is..."
"So, Admiral, you weren't taken advantage of by that woman?" Chao Dahe asked, shaking the Admiral's hand with delight.
“…Yes.” Xiaobai nodded.
"This is so good..." Chao Da was so moved that she shed tears. She stood up excitedly, raised her hands above her head, and started spinning around in place.
"..." Xiaobai silently watched Chao Da and Huanxi's actions.
How does it feel...
Kou-da's reaction after finding out she hadn't been knocked down by Kamikaze was one of pure joy, as if it were her own affair...
So she cares about herself that much...
I'm a little happy.
Xiao Bai scratched his cheek.
Super Yamato is a typical loyal dog. Although her intelligence and strategic abilities aren't low for the Deepsea Dean's race, since returning to the naval base with Deepsea Yamato, she's increasingly preferred to abandon independent thought, entrusting everything to Deepsea Yamato and Shiro. Regarding the amount of information Shiro and Kamikaze encountered on their recent outing, Super Yamato clearly stated after listening that she didn't want to think too much about it. She'd simply follow Shiro, doing whatever Shiro told her to do—if Shiro told her to go east, she'd go east; if Shiro told her to go west, she'd go west. Obedience was all that mattered.
Super Big's unconditional belief in himself saved Xiao Bai a lot of trouble in explaining.
The sun had already sunk low into the sea, and night was approaching. It was about time for Xiaobai and Chaodahe to make their appearance on the shore of Chapter Eight.
After removing the golden marks from themselves and Super Big again and throwing them onto the wall, Little White and Super Big found a secluded spot in the building, opened a portal, and returned to the villa on the coast.
Whoosh——
In the villas on the coast.
Xiaobai and Chaoda walked out of the black vortex with ease, and then they heard the ship girls, who had been idle for too long, sitting together in twos and threes in the villa, discussing the events of this morning.
"Through my inside information... I finally found out the truth about what happened this morning from the Mu family ship girls!"
"You're from Mars."
"What?! We're on Mars already?!"
"We've been talking about this all afternoon... It's just that the new head of the Mu family's relationship with his ship girl subordinate has been exposed..."
"..."
The ship girls were chatting enthusiastically, completely unaware that Shiro and Yamato had returned to the villa.
Even when Xiaobai and Chaoda were walking towards the villa's main gate, they encountered several ship girls chatting. The ship girls looked completely oblivious and cheerfully greeted Xiaobai.
Good evening, Admiral!
"Uh... Hello, hello..."
Xiaobai waved to the ship girls and walked out of the villa gate.
At the entrance of the villa, Lexington and Akagi stood chatting.
"Let me tell you, I had a dream the other day when I was taking a nap at home. I dreamt that someone was giving me a massage while I was sleeping, and it felt so good..." Akagi was talking to Lexington when she noticed Shiro out of the corner of her eye. She closed her mouth, smiled, and waved at Shiro. "Admiral, you're back! I haven't seen you all afternoon."
Finally, some of the ship girls realized they had been missing for an entire afternoon.
Xiao Bai felt a surge of emotion.
"Uh... I did some things with Chaoda and back at the naval base..." Xiaobai said to Akagi apologetically.
"Oh... I see. Admiral, you should take a rest." Akagi nodded with a smile, then rolled up her sleeves. "Now that you're back, Admiral, I'll go prepare dinner. Elizabeth brought over two fish at noon today. I wanted to invite her to stay for lunch, but she seems to be quite busy today."
"Haha..." Xiaobai chuckled and exchanged a glance with Lexington.
The ship girls at the new naval base seem to have accepted the fact that Shiro would occasionally meet up with Super Yamato and the two of them would disappear for a few hours together. Even if they occasionally noticed that Shiro had disappeared this afternoon, they just assumed that Shiro was bored and went back to the naval base for a trip, and didn't pay much attention to it.
We had a harmonious dinner.
The moon gradually rose into the sky.
Little White and Super Big sent Lexington back to the newbie naval base.
"Super Yamato, go back to Bismarck's house to keep Yamato and the others company. Lexington and I are going to the office to take care of today's documents. I'll come find you after we're done."
Xiao Bai spoke to Chao Dahe.
"Yes!"
Chao Da nodded and walked happily toward Bismarck's house.
As they chatted, Xiaobai and Lexington returned to the admiral's office in the office building under the moonlight.
Inside the office, today's documents have piled up to fill a whole layer on Xiaobai's desk.
Without saying a word, Xiaobai ran to the desk, took out a pen, and focused intently on cleaning up the documents on the desk, which took two or three hours.
After finishing all this, Xiaobai gently sat down on the chair and let out a comfortable sigh of relief.
"nailed it……"
"Little White, judging from your expression, you had quite a haul in the deep sea today?" Lexington, sitting in the secretary ship's seat, tilted her head, propped her chin on her hand, and asked Little White with a smile.
"Yes," Xiaobai nodded with a sigh, "A lot really happened today..."
"Hmm...it seems quite interesting." Lexington murmured to Little White, touching her lips.
“Then I’ll tell you… uh, wait, it seems a bit late now…” Xiaobai was just about to excitedly start talking to Lexington when she glanced at the clock and realized it was already 11 or 12 at night. She immediately deflated, “Ah… Akagi and the others must be waiting for me to get back to Chapter Eight… how about I go back to find Super Yamato first, and tell you the story tomorrow, Lexington…”
After saying that, Xiaobai stood up.
But the next second, Lexington reached out and gently grasped Little White's wrist in the blink of an eye.
"noob……"
"what?"
"Sigh... Actually, I've been taking the blame for you these past two days... saying you stayed out all night because you were at my place." Lexington held Xiaobai's wrist and said regretfully, "Xiaobai... you have to understand, I'm under a lot of pressure... because of what happened these past two days, my reputation with Akagi and the others has plummeted..."
"Uh...yes, I'm sorry...I really won't do it again next time..." Xiaobai said awkwardly.
"It's alright, it's alright." Lexington smiled and shook her head, but then said to Xiaobai, "Xiaobai, you know I don't care about this... However, I am worried about what will happen if what we've been hiding from Akagi and the others is exposed."
"Uh... this... it's probably not a good time to expose myself, right?"
"It's still okay. For example, you see, I told you you've been staying at my house for the past few days. But Xiaobai, have you even stepped inside my and Jiajia's house?"
"No... but I did see the gate."
"See, right? What if, when you're chatting with Akagi and the others, they accidentally ask you about my family? How will you answer?"
"This……"
“I can make it up on the spot, but that would mean I’d have to collude with you afterward, which would be really troublesome… So, how about we collude now?” Lexington smiled at Xiaobai.
