They debuted half a year ago...
A large amount of information involuntarily gathered in Xiaobai's mind, triggering a large number of memories in Xiaobai's mind like a starting point.
Little White on the bed covered his forehead and pondered for a while, his eyes sparkling.
At last.
Having figured out what was going on, Xiaobai hesitantly picked up his phone and tried dialing a number.
beep, beep, beep...
In the quiet room, accompanied by the sound of careful breathing, the notification sound of the cell phone was particularly noticeable.
There was a click.
The beeping notification stopped, and Xiaobai heard the sound of the receiver being lifted on his phone.
The call was answered.
……
Half an hour later, Akagi, having finished cooking, arrived at Shiro's door and gently knocked.
"Admiral, the meal is ready. Would you like to come down and eat now?"
After knocking on Xiaobai's door, Akagi put his hand down and stood in front of the closed door, calling out to it.
The room was very quiet at first.
But soon a series of footsteps could be heard.
The door was quickly pulled open from the inside, revealing Xiaobai, whose face was slightly flushed.
"Ah, it's Akagi." Xiaobai held the still-lit phone in one hand and the open door in the other, smiling slightly at Akagi. "I've finished my business, I'll go down now."
"Was the Admiral just on the phone?" Akagi's gaze swept over Shiro's phone, and she seemed to understand something. She gave Shiro a maternal smile. "Judging from how happy the Admiral looks... he wasn't just making a lovey-dovey call with Missouri, was he?"
"H-how could that be..." Xiaobai stammered, scratching her cheek as she looked down. "But I was definitely on the phone..."
Akagi looked at the shy Shiro with a smile, but didn't continue teasing him.
"Okay, okay, I'm not joking anymore. The tables are all set up and the food is ready. Everyone is waiting for you."
"Oh, oh, oh!" Xiaobai quickly hung up the phone. "Then let's go downstairs!"
Akagi and Shiro walked up the stairs towards the lobby on the first floor.
On the way to the hall, Xiaobai chatted with Chicheng.
"Speaking of which, has Miss Miao already woken up?" Xiaobai asked.
"You're awake." Akagi smiled. "Miss Miao said the sofa in the living room was very soft, and she slept very comfortably, but she felt a little hungry after waking up."
"Because Akagi, your cooking is so delicious."
"Thank you for the compliment, Admiral." Akagi's gaze lingered on Shiro's face for a moment. "Speaking of which, Admiral seems to be in a better mood than before."
"Is it that obvious?"
"Hmm... When you came back just now, your expression was like a light veil of gloom, but now it's like the sky has cleared after the rain." Akagi said, raising her finger to draw a circle around Shiro. "So it really is related to that phone call just now?"
“It does matter.”
"So what kind of phone is it?"
"Hehe, let me keep this a secret," Xiaobai said to Chicheng with a smile. "You'll find out tomorrow anyway."
"The admiral is even keeping us in suspense now."
"You can only feel a sense of surprise if you have anticipation."
Xiaobai and Chicheng chatted and laughed as they went downstairs and arrived at the lobby on the first floor.
In the first-floor hall of the villa, a long table large enough for twenty people to sit around was set up. Various fragrant and colorful dishes were arranged on the table, which looked like a rainbow-colored river when viewed from afar. Just as Xiaobai and Akagi walked down the stairs, the long table was surrounded by the Dean of the Deep Sea and the ship girls.
Deep Sea Musashi reached out towards the chicken leg on the table, but halfway through his hand, it was gently patted down by another hand that was being offered to him.
“Ugh—” Deep Sea Musashi looked pitifully at Deep Sea Yamato beside him.
"No, we have to wait for Shiro to come down before we eat, understand?" Yamato squinted at Musashi, "Even for you, Musashi, it's wrong to sneak a bite."
"Hmm..." Deep Sea Musashi seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand. She withdrew her hand and stared at the chicken leg in front of her, her eyes glazed over as if she were seeing her first love. Soon, glistening saliva dripped from the corner of her mouth.
"Musashi, can't you learn from your older sister, Super Yamato?" Deep Sea Yamato lectured Deep Sea Musashi with a look of utter disappointment, then patted Super Yamato, who was sitting upright to the side. "Look at how refined Super Yamato is! And look at you, so embarrassing! If word got out, who would believe you're my sister, Yamato's sister!"
When Super Yamato was patted on the shoulder by Deep Sea Yamato, his body instinctively shrank back twice, and his snow-white, huge breasts surged like waves in an instant.
"Yamato, strictly speaking, I'm the younger sister..." Super Yamato quickly grabbed Deep Sea Yamato's arm and said timidly, "Musashi should be my older sister..."
"What?! Is that true?!" Yamato Shinkai exclaimed in shock. "I always thought you were Musashi's older sister!"
"In terms of ship history and birth, I'm later than Musashi-nee..." Chao Da explained, shaking his hands nervously.
"Don't worry, it's a long-standing tradition in the Yamato family that the older sisters don't act like older sisters and the younger sisters don't act like younger sisters." Pachina smiled gently from the side.
"Is it just my imagination? Why do I feel like you're subtly targeting me in your words?" Yamato Shinkai immediately sensed something was wrong and squinted at him.
“How could that be?” Pachina clicked her tongue, revealing her pink tongue and perfectly white teeth, her blue eyes looking at Deep Sea Yamato with a playful expression. “Or… do you think what I said makes a lot of sense, and then feel offended?”
"Ouch—you little brat, your words are so aggressive!"
"Attack? There's a fight? Where's the fight going?" Hindenburg's head popped out from between Yamato and Pachina like a radish, excitedly looking around. "Fight? Is someone going to fight? Fight, fight, attack, fight—oh dear!"
Before Hindenburg could finish speaking, a book fell from the sky and hit her on the head.
Hindenburg's vision blurred, and he bit his tongue, falling towards the table.
The next second, Hindenburg was gently embraced by a pair of hands.
Barbarossa hoisted the Deep Sea Hindenburg onto his shoulder, bowed slightly to the crowd with a blank expression, and then slowly returned to his seat not far away.
"Hehe, it's really lively."
Savoy, holding a glass of red wine, moved behind Pachina and unceremoniously sat down on the corner of Pachina's chair, pushing Pachina even further forward.
"Hey, what are you doing here?"
"Isn't this to offer a toast to Pachina-senpai?" Savoy said with a smile, slowly leaning her entire body against Pachina's smooth back. She held the wine glass around Pachina's back and gently brought it to Pachina's lips. "The Admiral hasn't come downstairs yet. Can't we have a couple of drinks even if we can't eat? Pachina-senpai, please do me the honor."
"Where did you come from, you shameless scoundrel?!"
"Yes, Savoy is Pachina's rascal."
"you……"
Everything in the world has its counterpart, and in the realm of deep-sea relationships, it is indeed a case of one thing subduing another.
At least in front of Savoy, Pachina really had no temper.
As Xiaobai walked downstairs, she looked at the lively scene on the table with a satisfied smile. Then, her gaze extended forward and fell on Miao Yang, who was sitting in the guest seat.
Miao Yang sat on the chair with her head down, somewhat reserved, her hands tucked between her legs, her eyes blinking as she looked at the dishes on the table.
Miao Yang went out to work in place of the Deep Sea Deans this morning. She was attacked by an explosion at noon and slept until now. She hasn't had a chance to eat all day. Before, she relied on her tired mind as anesthesia and didn't feel hungry for a while. But now that she has recovered her energy after a nap, a strong feeling of hunger is nagging at her stomach.
Humans are not like ship girls.
Even if ship girls don't eat, they won't feel uncomfortable for a short time thanks to the power of their ship equipment. At most, they'll just feel that life is a little less interesting. But humans will really get very hungry if they don't eat.
Miao Yang stared longingly at the dishes on the table, inhaling the aroma, ignoring the noisy chatter of the ship girls, her mouth already drooling.
Miao Yang felt that if Xiao Bai didn't come down and announce that dinner was served, she might start eating the table to relieve her hunger.
I'm so...so hungry...
Admiral Lu Lin... hasn't come down yet...?
Hiss...
Just as Miao Yang was feeling dizzy from hunger, she suddenly felt a small hand pat her shoulder.
Miao Yang turned her head and was surprised to find that Xiao Bai had already sat down next to her at some point, smiling at her with a smile.
"Miss Miao, you're awake."
"Lu Linti...slurp!" Miao Yang was about to speak when she almost spilled saliva from her mouth. She quickly covered her mouth and nodded.
"It's good that you're awake. Let's eat then." Xiaobai put down her hand, her smile deepening.
"Oh—dinner's ready!" Upon hearing Xiaobai's words, the ship girls and abyssal deans at the table cheered and then picked up their utensils to feast on the food in front of them.
Xiao Bai also put a chicken leg in Miao Yang's bowl.
"Miss Miao, you've really worked hard these past two days," Xiao Bai said sincerely to Miao Yang. "You must eat well tonight and make sure you're full before you go back."
"Thank you, thank you, Admiral Lu Lin..." Miao Yang stared intently at the golden-brown, tender chicken leg in her bowl. She reached out with trembling hands, grabbed the leg, and took a bite. "Mmm...uh..."
He was eating the chicken leg in his mouth.
The aroma of meat mixed with the savory meat juices filled my mouth.
Miao Yang was moved to tears.
Whether it was because she had been starving for too long or because it was her first meal after surviving a disaster, Miss Miao Yang felt that this chicken leg was incredibly delicious, far surpassing all the food she had eaten in her previous life.
"Is it good?" Xiaobai put another chicken wing on Miao Yang's plate.
"Delicious, delicious, especially delicious, thank you Admiral Lu Lin..." Miao Yang said, sucking on the chicken bone with emotion.
"Sigh, I'm so sorry to have troubled you all these past few days, especially with this mess today." Xiaobai looked apologetic. "I'm very sorry about this."
"It's nothing, it's all in the past." Miao Yang chewed her food, her face showing no concern.
"That's good." Xiao Bai smiled immediately upon hearing this. "I'm relieved to hear you say that, Miss Miao. Speaking of which, I have an appointment with someone tomorrow. Could you please...?"
"Cough cough cough cough cough cough!!!"
Before Xiaobai could finish speaking, Miao Yang's eyes widened, and she almost vomited what was in her throat.
Chapter 2455 The Name of the Ship "Deer's Cry"
"Cough cough cough cough, cough cough cough, cough cough cough!!!"
A series of violent coughs broke the harmony at the dinner table.
All the ship girls and the Dean of the Deep Sea looked over.
Miao Yang was bent over, covering her mouth, coughing violently while lying on the table. Xiao Bai stood beside her with a worried look on her face, patting her back.
"Miss Miao, what's wrong? Did you choke while eating?" Xiao Bai asked with concern as she helped Miao Yang catch her breath. "Oh dear, even if the food is delicious, you still need to chew slowly and carefully, otherwise you'll get indigestion..."
Xiao Bai's words were very gentle, as pleasant as a stream.
For an ordinary person, it would be like listening to a young girl whispering in their ear on their pillow—a feeling of comfort and ease.
But at this moment, Miss Miao Yang could not feel any gentleness at all. Listening to Xiao Bai's words, she felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet.
Nightmare...
The nightmare is about to return...
"Cough, cough..." Miao Yang took several breaths to catch her breath and finally returned to normal. She gasped for air and looked at Xiao Bai beside her, "Admiral Lu, Admiral Lu Lin..."
"Ok?"
"I...I have offended you in some way..."
"What kind of talk is that?"
“I…” Miao Yang looked at Xiao Bai with a complicated expression, “You, didn’t you say yesterday that I could have a day off after I finished working today…”
"About this... um... anyway, it's that..." Xiaobai looked embarrassed. She patted Miao Yang's shoulder, leaned closer to Miao Yang, and then apologized in a low voice, "That... I'm so sorry... I didn't expect things to go on like this all day... but, but I promise! Tomorrow is the last day!"
“You said the same thing yesterday…”
"This time it's for real!"
"Admiral Lu Lin, just kill me." Miao Yang felt weak all over and slammed her head against the table with a thud.
Xiao Bai quickly helped Miao Yang up, rubbing her forehead, and continued awkwardly, "Miss Miao... just one day, no, just half a day! Just help me for another half day! After it's done, I'll personally put you on the plane, how about that?"
"..." Miao Yang stared at Xiao Bai with a suspicious look.
It's clear that Xiaobai has lost all credibility in Miao Yang's eyes.
"Ahem, well, it's like this." Xiaobai knew she was being a bit shameless, so she coughed awkwardly twice, her face flushed. "Well, you see, today our Deep... ship girl was involved in a traffic accident, right? I heard from the police station that there will be an on-site commendation ceremony tomorrow morning, right? Because this matter is quite special, there should be a live broadcast."
"So?"
