Elder brother's garrison

"..." Kamikaze blinked blankly, then slowly looked at Lexington.

“As I said before, our naval base’s interviews are not meant to make things difficult for you. We have always welcomed hardworking and kind people.” Lexington said with a smile, “It seems that Ms. Kamikaze only remembered Ms. Savoy’s words, but not mine.”

"Then...then..." Kamikaze looked blankly at Shiro behind Lexington, "My dear sister hasn't said anything just now, well..."

“Lexington is a good person… You’ve come all this way, how could she bear to send you back…” Xiaobai said with a wry smile, scratching her cheek incessantly. “Well… but you did mess up the reception room when you came in, so I can’t help it if Lexington plays a little prank on you…”

"..." Kamikaze.

Kamikaze blinked and looked around the reception room.

Thanks to Kamikaze's diligent cleaning, the reception room had been restored to its original state, and was even cleaner and tidier than when they entered.

Kamikaze silently looked at Lexington.

Lexington's face still wore that gentle and kind smile.

"So...so all I did was for nothing...you...found out all along?" Kamikaze suddenly seemed to lose all her strength, collapsing to the ground, her arms supporting her weight, head drooping, her voice filled with grievance, "But, damn it...I...I actually...I, the mighty Kamikaze, actually..."

“It wasn’t all for naught, Miss Kamikaze,” Lexington’s voice rang out at the opportune moment.

Kamikaze looked up and saw Lexington extending his palm toward her.

“We have witnessed Miss Kamikaze’s diligence,” Lexington said with a smile. “Originally, when you joined the Naval Base, you were supposed to follow Reputation to familiarize yourselves with the environment. However, this is the first time even our Naval Base has accepted such a large number of Deep Sea Deans. Reputation is usually very busy with various matters and there are times when she can’t take care of them. Would Miss Kamikaze be willing to become the team leader for this batch of Deep Sea Dean interns and help manage things when Reputation is not around?”

"Huh? Captain? Me?" Kamikaze tilted his head.

“Yes, Ms. Kamikaze is sure to be able to handle this job,” Lexington said with a smile, extending her hand.

Kamikaze stared blankly at the hand Lexington offered, seemingly finally understanding his current predicament.

"...I...I've become the team leader?"

"Me? I'm the captain?!"

"I am the captain of the group of doctors (three) and his wife (eight)!"

"Yay!! I'm the captain!!"

Kamikaze leaped up from the ground with a whoosh, the humiliation and anger he felt from being tricked by Lexington vanishing in an instant, replaced by gratitude and excitement.

“I knew it! My efforts weren’t in vain!” Kamikaze gripped Lexington’s hand tightly, his eyes shining brightly. “I! I will do my best in this job! You can rest assured and leave this to me! Lexington… no! Mrs. Lexington!”

"Miss Kamikaze is really full of fighting spirit," Lexington said with a smile.

"Hahahaha!" Lexington was met with a burst of high-spirited laughter.

……

On the sofa, Barbarossa, Savoy, Hindenburg, and Zuikaku silently watched Kamikaze swear allegiance before Lexington.

“Oh dear… this is truly…” Savoy whispered, “to be completely manipulated…”

"One word can make her cry, and one word can make her laugh." Barbarossa reached out and covered Hindenburg's eyes, not wanting her to see Kamikaze's embarrassing state.

"..." The Deep Sea Zuikaku remained silent, but its gaze towards Lexington held a newfound wariness and caution.

Day zero of joining the newbie naval base.

The Deep Sea Deans (except for Kamikaze) in Chapter 2202 seem to have a vague understanding of Lexington's dominance within the Naval Base.

Lexington led the Deepsea Deans of Chapter 8 to fill out their job application forms, and then called Counterattack at the door, asking her to lead these Deepsea Deans to familiarize themselves with the environment of the newbie naval base.

The Deans of the Deep Sea, led by the enthusiastic Kamikaze, thanked Lexington and left the reception hall in Chapter 2203.

After seeing off the Deep Sea Deans from Chapter 8, Lexington turned her attention to Deep Sea Yamato and the others.

Feeling Lexington's gaze, Deepsea Yamato shuddered.

"Ahem, well... if there's nothing else, we'll be going now..." Yamato patted his butt and tried to run away.

"Wait a minute," Lexington said.

Yamato's movements froze on the spot. She looked at Lexington and swallowed hard.

"What...what are you going to do...Let me tell you, what works on Kamikaze won't work on me."

Yamato looked on warily.

"I just wanted to thank you all." Lexington smiled and bent down, pouring tea leaves and steeping hot water in front of everyone. The whole process was smooth and efficient. Finally, she picked up a cup of tea and handed it to Yamato with a faint smile. "Yamato and I have made great contributions to the fact that Shiro was able to conquer Chapter 8. Lexington offers you a cup of tea to express my gratitude."

"..." Yamato looked at Lexington with a strange expression. She glanced down at the tea in Lexington's hand a few times, and finally took the teacup from Lexington. "...I'm afraid a cup of tea isn't enough to bribe me."

"If you need anything, just let me know."

"Then I want my salary doubled, and the salaries of all the directors of our Deep Sea Institute doubled."

"can."

"We also want paid leave! Fourteen days a year!"

"Okay."

"Also, the rental fee for the Yamato cannon for me and Musashi should be doubled!"

"It will be all right."

"...Who are you? Where did you tie Lexington up?" Deep Sea Yamato gave him an expression that said, "You're definitely not Lexington."

“How could that be?” Lexington said with a smile. “I am truly grateful to you, whether it is for your peace of mind in the naval base or for your ability to go out and aid Little White.”

"...Hmph." Deep Sea Yamato stared at Lexington's expression for a while, seemingly discerning some of the truth. She slurped down her tea, then triumphantly placed the empty teacup on the coffee table. "If there's nothing else, we'll be going, okay?"

"Regarding the salary increase and paid leave, we can choose a day to come to the Admiral's Office to discuss it in detail."

"Know it!"

Deep Sea Yamato hummed a happy song as he led a large group of Deep Sea Deans out of the reception room.

Lexington waved to the backs of the Deepsea Deans, and only after they left did she turn her gaze to Missouri.

Missouri returned with the Deep Sea Deans, but she was quiet and reserved the whole way, barely making a sound. When the Deep Sea Deans were there, she hid in the corner of the room, and only after they left did she slowly come out.

Lexington and Missouri exchanged a smile.

Missouri...

“Senior Lexington, there’s no need for thanks,” Missouri said with a smile. “Serving the Admiral is Missouri’s duty. If you’re going to thank me for that, I’ll start to doubt my status as a married ship.”

"You're really something," Lexington laughed. "Look how tired you are, go and get some rest."

"Then Missouri will go first."

Missouri smiled slightly and left the reception room.

Only Lexington and Little White remained in the living room.

Lexington walked up to Little White and patted him on the shoulder.

“Now we should go and see Frederick the Great,” Lexington said.

"Okay!" Little White nodded, then blinked and tugged at Lexington's arm. "But I have something to do before I go!"

"Hmm? What's up?"

"Lexington, lower yourself, lower yourself."

"Is that so?"

"Yes!" Little White nodded with a smile, then snuggled into Lexington's warm embrace. She rubbed against him, feeling content and happy. "Lexington, it's been a week! I'm back!"

Chapter 2204 Conditions and Incorporation

Little White was like a koala, enjoying Lexington's warmth and softness in her arms.

"It's only been a week, why are you acting like we've been apart for a year or two?" Lexington gently stroked the back of Xiaobai's head, following her movements, and couldn't help but lower her head, chuckling to herself, "Xiaobai, did you miss me that much?"

"I really want to."

"You're being sarcastic again. Can't Yamato and Missouri satisfy you?"

“It’s different, it’s different.” Little White raised his head and grinned at Lexington.

Xiaobai had no intention of comparing Missouri and Lexington in his mind.

In Xiaobai's heart, Lexington, Missouri, and even Yamato of the Deep Sea are all equally important, equally wonderful, and indispensable. However, the feelings that Missouri can give Xiaobai are not the same as those that Lexington can give, and the feelings that Lexington can give Xiaobai are not the same as those that Missouri can provide.

The satisfaction that Xiaobai gets from Missouri and Deep Sea Yamato leans more towards the aspect of companionship, while Lexington has a maternal warmth that is distinctly different from theirs.

It is this unique warmth of Lexington that makes one especially yearn for it after a journey.

Little White really wants to snuggle in Lexington's arms right now and drift off to sleep, enjoying the soothing sounds of her voice.

Unfortunately, there is no such opportunity at the moment.

After all, while Xiaobai and Lexington were alone, there was a big treasure brought back from Chapter 8 locked up in the admiral's office upstairs.

After she had finished being affectionate, Xiaobai finally let go of Lexington's arm.

Lexington and Little White exchanged a smile.

“Let’s go to the office,” Lexington said with a smile.

"Mmm!" Xiaobai nodded in satisfaction.

Xiaobai and Lexington left the reception room and arrived at the Admiral's office.

The door to the admiral's office was tightly shut. Renown stood guard by the door with her eyes closed. Only when she heard Xiaobai and Lexington's footsteps did she slowly open her eyes and bow in Xiaobai's direction.

"Master, Madam Lie."

"Huh? What are you doing, Reputation?" Xiaobai asked curiously.

"Reporting to Master, Reputation is at the Watcher's." Reputation looked at Little White with gentle eyes.

"Oh... thank you for your hard work." Xiaobai nodded as if she understood, then pointed to the office door, "Frederick is inside, right?"

"Yes."

"When you brought her here...nothing happened, right?" Xiaobai asked.

"No, the journey was safe," Reputation replied. "After learning that this was the Admiral's office, Miss Frederick went in quietly and hasn't uttered a sound since."

“Reputation, thank you for your hard work.” Lexington nodded with a smile. “Go ahead and get busy, don’t worry about this place.”

"...Yes, sir." Reputation, unusually quiet for a few seconds after receiving the order, still responded softly, bowed slightly to Little White and Lexington, and turned to leave.

Watching Reputation's departing figure, Lexington bent down slightly, pointed at Reputation's maid outfit, and teased Little White in a low voice, "It seems that Reputation is quite wary of Miss Frederick."

"Well..." Xiaobai smiled wryly.

It's impossible for Frederick the Great to be wary of someone whose reputation didn't match his.

After all, as the first maid of the newbie garrison, her ability to read people's expressions and moods had long been honed to the extreme by her reputation. In addition, she had spent so much time alone with Frederick the Great, so she should have noticed that Frederick the Great exuded a deep-sea aura that was very different from that of Kamikaze and the others.

Powerful force.

A cold and aloof demeanor.

In addition, Xiaobai previously admitted that she had not completely tamed Frederick the Great, but had forcibly brought her back.

In her mind, she probably already labeled Frederick the Great as a dangerous figure, but because of her professional maid-like qualities, she didn't show it in her behavior.

"Is Lexington wary of Frederick?" Little White asked Lexington.

"As for me... I'd say there might be some, after all, if we let the powerful Deep Sea Dean run rampant, the consequences would be quite severe." Lexington nodded slightly. "However, I heard that you have a sword that could cut Frederick the Great in two?"

"Huh? Did I say that?"

"Missouri said it."

"Huh? Missouri mentioned this? When?"

"When you were unconscious, who took Figel back to the naval base, and who moved several sets of furniture from the naval base to the base?" Lexington poked White's forehead.

"Uh, I see..." Xiaobai covered her forehead and smiled awkwardly. "So Missouri told you basically everything that happened that day?"

"Yes."

"I knew it! I haven't been around for a week, and when you saw me in Lexington, you didn't even ask me where I'd been."

“Missouri had everything arranged on shore within an hour of you falling unconscious.” Lexington said, a hint of coldness appearing in her smiling eyes. “Well… after all, if you really had gone missing, Little White, the Naval Base would have spared no expense to flatten every inch of the eighth chapter’s sea within three days.”

"..." A chill ran down Xiaobai's spine.

“We’ve gone a little off-topic.” Lexington’s expression returned to its warm and sunny tone as she gently placed her hand on the doorknob. “Anyway, let’s go in and see this incredibly powerful Deep Sea Dean.”

Lexington gave it a gentle pull.
