"Order!"
Rome dashed to the balcony and soon returned to the living room pushing a round table several meters in diameter.
"Wow, what a huge table!" The ship girls inside exclaimed in surprise.
“This dining table was bought back when we were living in human society, thinking that we might have guests coming over. It turned out to be a little too big,” Veneto explained. “But now it seems we’ll be using it.”
The ship girls inside made way for Rome, who placed a large round table in the center of the living room.
The round table was so large that it almost filled the entire living room.
The ship girls took their seats around the round table, and for a moment the living room looked like it was preparing for a grand banquet.
As if echoing the setting of the dining table, a short while later, as the TV program started playing, Akagi also walked into the living room carrying two fragrant stir-fried dishes.
"I didn't prepare a special menu for tonight, so I just made some simple dishes. Please bear with me," Akagi said with a smile, then placed the plates on the table.
Following closely behind Akagi, Missouri and Deep Sea Akagi also smiled and presented a series of brightly colored and fragrant dishes. Each dish was unique and exquisitely crafted. The large table was covered with these colorful carved plates, instantly exuding the atmosphere of a grand banquet.
"Wow, wow, wow—" The ship girls couldn't help but exclaim and applaud at the grand spectacle before them. "This is too grand... Is this really food we can eat?"
The three cooks, faced with the ship girls' amazement, simply smiled and nodded.
The ship girls picked up their utensils, took a bite from the dish, and tasted it.
"Oh my gosh! Delicious, so delicious!" The ship girls' eyes lit up as they praised it endlessly.
"I hope you all like it." Missouri said to the ship girls with a smile. She walked out of the living room, carrying a heavy rice cooker, and came to Shiro and Veneto. She sat down next to them quite naturally and asked with a smile, "Admiral, Veneto-senpai, would you like a bowl of rice?"
"Oh, thank you." Xiaobai and Veneto exchanged a glance and nodded to Missouri.
Missouri opened the lid of the rice cooker, and a wonderfully sweet aroma wafted out.
Xiaobai and Veneto glanced inside the rice cooker and noticed that the rice was unusually reddish-brown today.
Missouri served a bowl of red rice.
The red rice in Missouri's hand was a deep crimson, like blood, and looked exceptionally vibrant.
"Missouri... why is the rice growing like this today..." Xiaobai swallowed and asked curiously.
"Reporting to the Admiral, today's rice is Missouri-style red bean rice."
"Huh? Why is it red bean rice?" Xiaobai was taken aback.
"It's a very healthy food used to invigorate qi and replenish blood." Missouri smiled and slowly handed over the red rice in her hand, but skipped over Xiaobai's hands and placed it on Veneto's palm next to Xiaobai, and said to Veneto with a smile, "Veneto-senpai, you should eat more."
"..."
Veneto looked at the bowl of rice in his hand with a strange expression, then looked up and exchanged a glance with Missouri.
Missouri held a rice scoop in her hand, her smile seemingly flawless.
The ship girls around him were all eating their own food and no one seemed to notice what was happening. Even if some ship girls did notice, they didn't seem to think much of it.
“Missouri…you’re so kind.” Veneto picked up his chopsticks, took a bite of red rice, and thanked Missouri as he chewed.
“This is our duty as younger sisters,” Missouri said with a smile.
"...When did you become my sister?"
"Perhaps, starting today?" Missouri asked with a smile.
"Ahem." Veneto coughed, her face flushed. She put down her rice bowl, picked up a piece of braised pork from the plate in front of her, and stuffed it into Missouri's mouth, reaching past Little White. "This piece of meat is good, why don't you try it?"
"As expected of meat personally served by Senior Veneto, it's delicious." Missouri smiled and gently pressed three fingers to her lips, chewing slowly.
not far away.
Roma, who was quickly eating, shuddered. She put down her bowl and looked at Little White and Veneto across the table.
"Huh? I suddenly felt a chill all over my body..." Roma stared at Missouri and Veneto in confusion, especially after seeing Veneto put a piece of meat into Missouri's mouth. He was puzzled. "Huh... when did the boss and Missouri become so close..."
“Many things don’t need to be thought about once you think of Missouri.” Changchun smiled and held a glass of clear drink to her lips as she spoke to Roma. “Missouri is so beautiful and gentle. Many of the women in the naval base like her very much.”
"That's true... But, but the eldest sister clearly didn't serve me any food..." Rome pouted sourly, then looked at the Empire on the other side, "Empire, don't you think so!"
The drowsy empire sat beside Rome, its head drooping like a chick pecking at rice.
Faced with Rome's question, the drowsy emperor merely opened his mouth slightly, uttering some incomprehensible mutterings in his sleep.
“You see, the Empire is right!” Rome looked at Changchun.
"Oh...oh, is that so..." Changchun smiled, somewhat bewildered. "Well, that makes sense..."
"That's right!" Rome thought to herself, feeling frustrated. She snatched Changchun's water glass and drank the clear liquid inside in one gulp. "Clearly, Empire and I are the real sisters of the eldest sister, but... Pfft!!! Cough cough cough cough cough... Wow, Changchun, what are you drinking?!"
Rome was only halfway through her sentence when she suddenly felt like she'd been burned by the spiciness, turning around and spraying herself all over the ground. Her fair face instantly turned red.
"Huh? It's just... ordinary baijiu?" Changchun tilted her head, her innocent face full of confusion. "What's wrong? Is the alcohol content not high enough?"
Chapter 2496 Satisfaction Returns
While eating, Xiaobai heard a series of noises coming from across the table.
Xiao Bai looked up.
Across the table, Roma, unaware of what was happening, blushed deeply and began swaying uncontrollably. The next second, Roma burst into laughter, grabbed Changchun beside her, and, holding an empty glass, began to sway happily with her, as if casting aside all worldly troubles.
"Hahaha, Little Changchun, let's drink until we drop tonight!"
"Good wine, good wine!"
"It feels like the world is spinning, drinking is so amazing—"
"Hehehe!!!"
Rome laughed loudly as he lunged at Changchun. Changchun let out a series of adorable whimpers in Rome's arms, and then both of them collapsed under the table, disappearing without a trace. Beside them, the Empire, with its eyes half-closed and head bowed, sat quietly asleep in its original spot, as if nothing had happened.
"The dinner table is so lively..." Xiaobai turned her gaze away and couldn't help but sigh.
Xiaobai has rarely had such a lively meal with the ship girls.
Although the villa that Director Chen lent him was large and luxurious, the house there was too cold and spacious for Xiaobai. Although it was indeed a great place to live, Xiaobai felt that the relatively exquisite and cozy home in Veneto gave him a more lively and comfortable feeling.
"Admiral, would you like a piece of twice-cooked pork?" Just then, Missouri, who was standing next to Xiaobai, picked up a shiny piece of pork and handed it to Xiaobai with a smile.
"Mmm, thank you." Little White opened her mouth and bit into a slice of meat, chewing as she smiled at Missouri. "It's delicious."
"Admiral, have a sip of soup to soothe your stomach." Veneto gently scooped a spoonful of egg drop soup into the soup, blew on the steam, and then brought it to Little White's lips.
"Oh, okay." Little White gently took the tip of the spoon into her mouth and drank the warm, sweet soup. "Mmm, it's so delicious!"
"My lord, you should also eat some vegetables." Deep Sea Akagi appeared out from behind Xiaobai at some point. She held a juicy asparagus and smiled as she offered it to Xiaobai. As Deep Sea Akagi approached, her sweet and unique body fragrance immediately surrounded Xiaobai, making her appetite soar.
"Ah... okay, okay." Shiro opened her mouth and slowly ate the asparagus, then smiled apologetically at Akagi. "Thank you for your help..."
"It is my honor to feed my lord." Akagi Fukami held the chopsticks, her face full of a satisfied smile.
“Admiral, ah—” Missouri picked up a mouthful of rice and handed it over with a smile.
"Oh!"
"Admiral, have something nutritious, like scrambled eggs." Veneto picked up a golden scrambled egg.
"Um!")
"My lord, this candied banana is something I made especially for you."
"it is good……"
"Admiral..."
"..."
Before Xiaobai could even pick up her chopsticks, the ship girls beside her started feeding her food bite by bite. As Xiaobai ate, she gradually began to feel weak and listless.
"Wait...wait a minute, let me have some water..."
"My lord, this is the fresh milk I bought for you. Let me feed it to you."
"..."
The food on the table was delicious, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting, which suited Xiaobai's taste perfectly. However, for some reason, Xiaobai was a bit flustered during the meal.
The ship girls are all hidden big eaters; they can eat almost endless amounts of food if they want to.
Despite the large quantity of dinner Missouri and Akagi prepared, the ship girls were so enthusiastic that within two hours, the entire table was devoured, leaving no room for waste.
After dinner, the ship girls chatted happily and watched TV in the living room.
The lively atmosphere continued until midnight. When the moonlight was at its brightest, the ship girls, having chatted to their hearts' content, finally yawned and lay down haphazardly on the spot.
Veneto's house definitely doesn't have enough bedrooms for all the ship girls.
So the ship girls, knowing they would eventually have to sleep on the floor, simply went to bed without any problems.
Xiaobai looked at the room full of ship girls with a wry smile.
In a sense, this can also be considered a kind of camping joy.
……
The next day, Shiro and the ship girls returned to the villa.
Xiao Bai and her group returned to the villa before Shen Haida and the others went to work.
Xiao Bai finally got to see the "radiant" Lexington, as well as the Deep Sea Deans whom he hadn't seen for almost a whole day.
The Deans of the Deep Sea seemed to have truly suffered at Lexington's hands in just one day. As soon as they saw Xiaobai, they swarmed around her as if she were their savior, seemingly not minding that Lexington was right beside them. They tearfully recounted to Xiaobai the series of evil deeds that Lexington had committed against them.
However, according to the Deepsea Deans, what Lexington did yesterday was simply to enforce discipline among the Deepsea Deans. It's just that if the Deepsea Deans violated the rules, they would likely be punished by some not-so-outrageous, but extremely embarrassing pranks from Lexington.
After calming the Deep Sea Deans down, Xiaobai watched as Missouri and Lexington once again put them into the van.
After seeing off the Deans of the Deep Sea Institute, Xiaobai glanced back at the villa gate.
Veneto and Roma have also begun daily training.
Xiao Bai chatted with Veneto for a while at the villa gate, and after enjoying himself to the fullest, he temporarily said goodbye to Veneto and returned to the villa.
As soon as Xiaobai entered the villa, he saw Yorktown and Bumblebee walking towards him.
"Admiral, have you seen the company?" Yorktown asked Xiaobai curiously as soon as he saw him.
"Huh? I didn't see them. What happened to Enterprise?" Xiaobai was taken aback. She recalled for a moment that when everyone stayed overnight at Veneto's house yesterday, all three Enterprise sisters were there.
"Sigh... Enterprise was still there when I left Veneto's house." Yorktown sighed helplessly upon hearing this. "How come Enterprise is gone in the blink of an eye?"
"Uh... has the company gotten lost again?"
"It seems so." Yorktown said, his teeth itching with anger, his fair fists clenched tightly. "That brat... how awful! She got lost without saying a word, and now we have to go out and look for her! When Big Yellow and I find her, we're going to smash her head open!"
“Uh…” Xiaobai smiled wryly, and continued to ask Yorktown, “Um… do you want me to come with you? With my admiral network, it should be quite easy to find the company.”
"Oh well, let's not bother the Admiral with such a small matter." Yorktown shook his head and shrugged at Whitey. "It's not the first time Enterprise has gotten lost. Bumblebee and I can find her slowly. After all, she's a big person and we can't lose her."
“Uh…” Xiaobai blinked, thought for a while, and felt that Yorktown’s words made some sense.
Well, it's a business...
This isn't the first time the company has gotten lost in the naval base. Anyway, with her luck, she can come back whenever she wants, and she won't encounter any trouble outside. Letting her go is not a bad solution.
"Well then, Admiral, Bumblebee and I are off to look for Enterprise, and we'll also take a stroll around Cloud City." Yorktown waved to Little White.
"Yes, have fun." Xiaobai smiled and watched Yorktown and Xiaobai leave the villa.
After Yorktown and Bumblebee left, Xiaobai took a breath and searched the villa's living room but couldn't find Luming. She thought for a while, then thoughtfully went upstairs to the familiar room.
Xiao Bai pushed open the door to the room.
Inside the room, sophisticated instruments were spinning rapidly, their hum echoing in the air. In the center of the room, Shikamei sat obediently on a chair, her thighs and arms wrapped in gauze. Numerous sensors were attached to her chest and limbs. The goddess of the hearth and Yubari were around her, checking the data from the instruments and recording something.
"So you're all here after all," Xiaobai called out to the ship girls inside the house.
"Oh? Admiral, you're here?" The female hearth goddess and Yubari, who were taking notes, turned around, put down their notes, and greeted Shiro with smiles. "I heard you spent the night at Veneto's house yesterday. Did you have fun?"
"Hmm... I'm very happy... but why didn't you guys go yesterday?"
"Hehe, while visiting Veneto's house is certainly appealing, Miss Shikame is definitely more attractive to us." Yubari proudly puffed out her chest and smiled at Shiro, "I dream of being Miss Shikame's personal physician! I wouldn't feel satisfied even if I examined Miss Shikame for a whole hour!"
"Haha..." Xiaobai chuckled, looked at Luming on the chair, and walked over.
As soon as Lu Ming saw Xiao Bai walk in, she wanted to stand up and greet him, but she was quickly pressed down by the Goddess of the Kitchen.
"Hey, patient, don't move around too much. We're still having a check-up."
“…” Lu Ming quickly straightened up.
