"Hmm... We finally cleared out the 8-2 sea area, so let's not rush things." Xiaobai thought for a moment, then smiled at Nia. "Let's not go to the 8-3 sea area today. Let's go home and rest first. I happen to have something to take care of right now."
"Hmm? What do you need to do?" Nia asked curiously.
"It's nothing serious." Xiaobai smiled and looked at Veneto and the others behind him.
Nia Vineto suddenly felt Xiaobai's gaze, and she couldn't help but look at Xiaobai, tilting her head curiously.
……
Xiaobai and his group concluded their trip to the Admiral's Guild and returned to their familiar courtyard.
Luo Lian had to go back to the dormitory to solve the second set of scientific research questions, and Nia also had to organize the expedition report about the 8-2 sea area. After chatting briefly with Xiaobai, the two of them dismissed the ship girls behind them and returned to the dormitory one after another.
Xiao Bai smiled as she watched Nia and Luo Lian leave, only turning her gaze away after their figures disappeared into the dormitory building.
"Super Yamato, are you free right now?" Shiro walked along the park bench in the playground and found Super Yamato chatting with Deep Sea Akagi.
"Admiral?" When Chao Yamato saw Shiro looking for her, she quickly stood up from her chair, nodded to Shiro, and then showed a curious look in her eyes, "Um... I'm free."
"That's great." A smile appeared on Xiaobai's face.
"...Is the admiral going back to the naval base again?"
"Yes." Xiaobai nodded, then raised her hand to Chaoda and asked, "This time we're going to pick up one more person, not many. Are you still physically capable?"
"Enough..." Chao Dahe raised his hand and touched his chest, feeling it for a moment, then nodded to Xiaobai.
Super Yamato's long-distance teleportation is not without cost, but this ability does not consume material resources such as oil, bullets, steel, or aluminum, nor does it consume intangible things such as deep-sea aura or mental energy. Strictly speaking, Super Yamato's teleportation ability only consumes one resource, which is Super Yamato's own physical strength.
The amount of stamina consumed by teleportation is also closely related to the teleportation distance and the number of teleportation targets, according to the formula. Currently, the sea area where Chapter 8 is located is tens of millions of miles away from the newbie naval base. Even though the stamina of the super-Yamato, a ship girl of the deep-sea dean level, is far superior to that of ordinary ship girls, she can only barely support a maximum of a dozen ship girls traveling back and forth each day, even at her best.
"That's good." Seeing that Super Yamato gave an affirmative answer, Shiro smiled with relief. "Super Yamato, thank you for your hard work this time."
“It’s not hard work…” Chao Dahe shook his head.
After saying goodbye to Deep Sea Yamato, Shiro and Super Yamato headed towards Nia's food cold storage and entered the small room covered with tiles that shielded it from the aura of the deep sea.
"Super Yamato, I'm so sorry..." After entering the cold storage, Shiro scratched his cheek and said with a smile to Super Yamato beside him, "Even though I've been using your ability to satisfy my own desires every time lately... you never get angry or complain about me..."
"..." Chao Da looked at Xiao Bai quietly, tilting his head slightly to ask, "Isn't it good to satisfy your selfish desires?"
"Uh... well..." Xiaobai rubbed his hands together, a little embarrassed, and said, "After all, it's my personal matter... using this ability must be very tiring for you, right?"
"I'm glad the Admiral can use my abilities," Chao Dahe said with utmost seriousness. "It's okay if it makes me a little tired, please use them as much as you like."
"Super Yamato..." Shiro looked at Super Yamato with a touched expression.
Xiaobai has lost count of how many times he's been moved by Yamato's loyalty.
Chao Da blinked, raised her hand and swept it to the side, effortlessly tearing open a black vortex filled with the aura of the deep sea.
The giant figure held open the black vortex with one hand and reached out to Little White with the other.
Xiao Bai raised her hand and grasped the hand that Chao Da had offered.
Chao Da and Xiao Bai, she looked down at their tightly clasped hands, then closed her eyes, and the two of them entered the black vortex one after the other.
……
At the other end of the black vortex lies the garden of the newbie naval base.
Little White and Super Big appeared in the garden one after the other. Little White stood on tiptoe and looked around at the scenery. He saw that the grass around him was lush and green, and the leaves and branches rustled in the breeze.
"noob--"
Soon, Yamato's call rang out from not far away.
As Xiaobai looked around, sure enough, after a short while, Shenhai Yamato, dressed in a maid outfit, waved her arms and rushed towards Xiaobai and the other person from not far away.
"Yamato-neechan—" Shiro waved and smiled at Deep Sea Yamato, "You're waiting for us here again?"
"Hehe, I've been cleaning here for a while now... Shiro, you're back again today?" Yamato Akami stopped in front of Shiro, broom in hand. She swung the broom around in a fancy way, then put her hands behind her back with practiced ease. She stared at Shiro curiously for a long time. "Hmm... Shiro, just in case, let me ask you something... Did you come back with someone this time?"
“Of course there are two people.” Xiaobai nodded.
"Thank goodness..." Deep Sea Yamato patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought that transparent ship girl had come along too..."
"Yamato-neechan, the spiritual energy I channeled into your body hasn't completely dissipated yet," Shiro said with a smile. "Even if Jean Bart really comes along, you'll see her right away..."
"Haha! That's right!" Deep Sea Yamato scratched her head, stuck out her tongue and chuckled, then subconsciously puffed out her ample chest. "So, Little White, what are you doing back this time? Did you run into trouble in Chapter Eight and want to find some help again? Oh, cough cough cough! Hmm... if that's the case, then perhaps you'll need the help of a mature and steady deep-sea battleship..."
Chapter 2740 Sister, you're getting too attached to appearances!
Although Yamato didn't mention himself, his words implied that he wanted Shiro to take him out to play.
Xiaobai laughed as he listened to Shenhai Yamato's speech.
"Will Yamato-neechan come with me to Chapter Eight?" Shiro asked.
"Huh? That's good!" Yamato's eyes lit up.
"Of course! If it's convenient for you, Yamato-neechan, we can go to Chapter 8 anytime..." Shiro explained.
"Xiaobai, did you encounter trouble in Chapter 8? Do you need my help?" Shenhai Yamato quickly asked again.
"Uh...no, not at all." Xiaobai shook her head.
"Oh no... I guess I won't be able to go now." Upon hearing Shiro's words, Deep Sea Yamato let out a long, painful groan and bent over, gripping his broom.
"Yamato-neechan? What's wrong?" Shiro looked at Deep Sea Yamato curiously.
"Waaaah... Little White, you don't know this." Deep Sea Yamato pitifully raised his head and said to Little White, "Last time when you were exploring Chapter 8, didn't you make us Deep Sea Deans wait in place?... You made us wait for almost half a month back then."
"Yes, that's true... What happened?" Xiaobai still didn't understand.
"Lexington told us that we were on annual leave at the time..." Yamato Fukami said, pouting, looking very aggrieved, "That means we've used up all our annual leave for this year, so we can't take any extra days off besides the regular holidays..."
"Uh..." Xiaobai was speechless.
Lexington truly lives up to its name; what a shrewd calculation!
“If you run into trouble in Chapter 8 and desperately need my help, then that's official business, not leave. So, according to our naval base's first rule—that everything must be done with the Admiral's needs as the highest priority—I can just ignore all these annual leave restrictions and go with you, like Super Yamato!” Deep Sea Yamato pouted, looking troubled. “But you haven't run into trouble, so if I go with you to Chapter 8 now, it'll be considered leave… Lexington is unlikely to grant me leave…”
"...Yamato-neechan, you've had it tough too." Shiro looked at Deepsea Yamato with a sigh and comforted her.
"Waaaaah, I really want to go out with Shiro too..." Deep Sea Yamato wobbled and pounced on Shiro, hugging him and acting all cute. "Super Yamato said the environment over there has changed a lot, I really want to see it with my own eyes..."
"Yamato-neechan, I...I'll try to cause some trouble for myself on the sea..." Shiro hugged Deep Sea Yamato, patting her back as she said, "Then I can take you to Chapter 8, so Yamato-neechan, you have to do your best!"
"Okay! I'll wait for you!" Yamato nodded pitifully, looking just like a pet sitting in its doghouse waiting for its owner to come home.
Yamato Shinkai stood up and composed himself.
"Huh? Speaking of which, since Chapter 8 isn't too troublesome, what are you going back to the naval base for, Shiro?" Yamato asked Shiro curiously.
"Ah... I'm looking for someone..." Xiaobai scratched her cheek awkwardly, then smiled shyly at Shenhai Yamato, "Yamato-neechan, do you know where Veneto and the others are right now?"
“Veneto…” Yamato Aqua was taken aback. She thought for a moment, “Hmm… At this time, they’ve probably just finished lunch and are getting ready to go to the training ground, right? Shiro, is there something you need from them?”
"Well..." Xiaobai tapped her index fingers together, "Well... it's not exactly something... it's like this, I met a friend in Chapter 8, and she also has Veneto-class ship girls in her naval base. I've been getting along pretty well with her Veneto-class ship girls these past few days, but even though it's been good, I always feel a bit empty inside. So I thought I'd take this opportunity to bring Veneto and the others to Chapter 8, and maybe let them meet each other..."
"Oh! A ship with the same name!" Deep Sea Yamato suddenly realized, nodding with a smile. "I see! That sounds interesting! Little White, is Veneto, the girl from your friend's house in Chapter Eight, also a flat-chested, white-haired, red-eyed elementary school student?"
“Well…” Xiaobai glanced sideways.
Nia's Veneto left Xiaobai speechless for a moment.
The similarity between Nia's Veneto and Xiaobai's own Veneto... is probably that they are both named Veneto.
Besides, these two people are starkly contrasting in both personality and appearance.
For example, Nia's Veneto is tall and voluptuous, with a mature and beautiful appearance and a gentle and kind personality. She is often teased by her sisters because her breasts feel very comfortable to rub against. On the other hand, Xiaobai's Veneto is cute, dignified, powerful, and reliable. She has a petite and open figure and embodies the leisure and boldness of Italian battleships. Among her sister ships of the same class, she has even established an unparalleled and inviolable prestige. If you didn't know their names, it would be really hard for the average person to recognize these two as ship girls with the same name.
Seeing that Xiaobai remained silent, only looking troubled and thoughtful, Shenhai Yamato blinked, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes.
"It's alright, Shiro. It's perfectly normal for ship girls with the same name to have drastically different appearances!" Abyss Yamato patted Shiro on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Even if Veneto over there is a flat-faced, white-haired, red-eyed middle school student, it's understandable!"
"It's not as simple as just a middle school student..." Xiaobai didn't know where to begin explaining this, so she could only smile at Shenhai Yamato, "Well... but if we have the chance in the future, I'll introduce her to you in person, Yamato-neechan."
"Oh! That will be troublesome then!" Yamato Fukami nodded with a completely innocent smile.
……
sunny.
The training grounds of the newbie naval base are bustling with activity today.
Under the watchful eyes of the onlookers, a sleek green figure swept across the water of the training field like a miniature whirlwind, circling once, twice, three times… Soon, this green whirlwind transformed into a streak of light, splashing high into the water as it raced forward. One by one, the running ship girls were overtaken by this sleek green figure.
swoosh————
Finally, with a speed that shocked many ship girls, the green figure reached the finish line.
"Wow! They've broken the marathon record that the naval base had held for five years! Rome, you're amazing!" Near the finish line, Baltimore, dressed as a race queen and holding a timer, stared in astonishment at the data, raising her timer high and shouting to the crowd, "Wow! Everyone look, Rome has broken the record!"
"Wow————"
Around Baltimore, thunderous applause erupted from the surrounding ship girls, and cheers and shouts rose and fell in waves.
The green figure standing at the finish line was drenched in sweat, her snow-white limbs clinging to her clothes, outlining a slender and graceful figure with beautiful curves. She slowly straightened up, ignoring the voices around her, and looked at the admiring and congratulatory expressions of the ship girls around her, revealing a surprised expression.
Wow! I broke the record? Yay!
Rome took a deep breath, looked around excitedly, and raised his arms high in joy.
"Wow! Boss, did you see that? I broke the record! I broke the record—"
Rome was jumping and shouting towards the shore, waving his arms vigorously, but when he saw Veneto's condition on the shore, his excited expression froze instantly.
Under Rome's watchful gaze, the usually composed and dignified leader of the Veneto clan, who should have stood on the shore with her arms crossed, was nowhere to be seen. In her place sat a white-haired, red-eyed girl, her hands cupping her cheeks, gazing longingly at the sky with a sorrowful expression, her large, red eyes sparkling with the sorrow of parting.
“Uh…” Roma withdrew his hand, looking helplessly at Veneto on the shore.
broken……
How did our usually dignified and authoritative eldest sister become like this again?
Rome thought to himself and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Rome recalled briefly that her boss's symptoms seemed to have started about a month ago. Ever since the invincible admiral led her troops away from the naval base in Chapter 8 of "Her Expedition," her boss would occasionally fall into this weak state, staring blankly at something with a melancholy expression. After entering this state, her boss, Veneto, not only stopped supervising her rigorous training, but even when Rome occasionally inadvertently mentioned her boss's exquisite and adorable figure, her boss wouldn't immediately come over to beat her up...
And the frequency with which our eldest sister enters this state seems to be increasing at an alarming rate...
Previously, I might only see the Big Sister feeling sentimental once every two or three days, but now I see it two or three times a day. Maybe after a while, this state of the Big Sister will completely replace the original version and become the permanent attribute of the new version of the Big Sister...
That's it...
Not supervising one's own training is a minor matter, but if one doesn't discipline their own leader, is that still being a leader?
Rome can't imagine a world without the boss beating people up!
No, absolutely not!
Sister, you've become too attached to appearances!
Thinking of this, Roma, who had just broken the garrison marathon record, suddenly felt powerless. She couldn't even be happy about it anymore and immediately ran towards the beach.
"Big, big, big, big boss—"
Rome waved his hands and shouted breathlessly.
Veneto on the beach seemed to sense something. She thoughtfully withdrew her melancholy gaze from the sky, but instead of looking towards Rome, she looked in another direction.
then.
Veneto was taken aback; her small lips parted slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.
At the end of Veneto's gaze, a familiar white figure was waving and walking towards him.
Chapter 2741 Come with me
Rome ran onto the beach, panting heavily.
The recent ship girl marathon had really exhausted Roma, but more than the physical fatigue, Roma was concerned about Veneto's mental state.
No!
How can the boss be constantly plagued by such negative emotions!
A dignified and authoritative older sister figure is what a normal older sister figure should be like!
"Big...Big Sister, ouch...I...I'm up..." Roma, panting, climbed onto the beach. She reached Veneto, bent over to support herself, and said between breaths, "Big...Big Sister, I...I'm back, um...um...you..."
"The marathon is over?" Veneto, sitting on the rock, lowered his hands and said to Rome.
"Huh? Uh...yes, yes."
"Which place?"
