Elder brother's garrison

Page 2037

"How could that be?" Akagi Shinkai shook her head with a smile. She raised her right hand, her index finger slightly bent and touching her lower lip. Then she raised her left hand, gently spreading her ring finger and rushing towards Xiaobai. "My lord, a sense of ceremony is still necessary. Please allow me to be willful this once. This ring must be put on my finger by you personally."

Xiaobai blinked, nodded quickly, then knelt on the bed, carefully took Shenhai Chicheng's hand, and inch by inch slipped the ring onto her ring finger.

"The hero... has finally married the princess... huh?" Akagi smiled at Shiro.

Xiaobai held Akagi's hand, winked at her, and nodded with bright, sparkling eyes.

"I have finally won the favor of my lord through my beauty," Akagi said with a smile to Shiro.

"Well...it's not entirely because of that..." Xiaobai stammered.

"My lord—!!"

Deep Sea Akagi happily jumped out of the covers, hugged Shiro, and laughed heartily in her ear.

"I will never forget this day!"

Xiaobai and Shenhai Chicheng both collapsed onto the bed.

……

The time came in the afternoon.

When Xiaobai finished dressing and arrived at Nia's dormitory, Nia was sitting at her desk, bending over to handle the day's miscellaneous tasks at the garrison.

"Huh? Little White, are you still taking a bath in the repair tub?"

Nia saw Xiaobai. She first put down her pen and paper with a smile, greeted Xiaobai, and then asked with some curiosity.

"Hmm... it's a bit boring to go alone, so I won't go."

"Oh, I see... I'm sorry, Xiaobai, I still have a lot of work to do..." Nia said regretfully, bowing her head. She had accumulated a lot of work while helping Xiaobai, and was currently working overtime in the hellish heat. "I probably won't be able to go to the repair pool to be with you until tonight..."

"It's alright." Xiaobai shook her head, walked over to Nia, glanced down at the work on the cutting board, and asked, "Do you need any help?"

"You don't need to worry about this, Xiaobai," Nia smiled at Xiaobai. "I can do it myself."

"Like This……"

"Ah... by the way, Xiaobai, how far have you gotten your ship equipment restored?"

"It's about 40-50% done."

"Huh... the progress is much slower than I expected."

"After all, we can't soak in the repair pool 24 hours a day," Xiaobai said to Nia with a smile. "If we kept soaking like that, I'd be soaking in a sac."

Nia smiled and nodded, then winked at Xiaobai's smiling face.

"what……"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Xiao Bai... there's something I've been wanting to ask you."

"What's the matter?"

"What happened last night?" Nia asked Xiaobai.

"About the banquet?"

"Hmm... Ke Yuan asked me to give you a necklace, and it definitely contains a piece of deep-sea metal, right?" Nia asked curiously.

"Mm." Xiaobai nodded.

"...Sigh, I almost got taken away as a murderer." Nia said dejectedly.

"No way, even if it really was sealed with deep-sea metal, that little bit of time wouldn't be enough to take a life." Xiaobai shook her head with a smile. "Although being inhaled by deep-sea energy is indeed very bad for ordinary humans, at most... it would be considered intentional injury?"

"So... Xiaobai, how did you replace the deep-sea metal in Ke Yuan's necklace with an empty one?" Nia asked curiously.

"I didn't replace it," Xiaobai shook his head.

"No?"

"Ah."

"Did Ke Yuan put it in the wrong place?"

“That’s not it.” Xiaobai continued to shake her head, and said to Nia with a smile, “I just spent a few seconds sucking up the deep-sea metal.”

"Huh?? Is this even possible??"

“Sure, after all, my ship equipment is the Deep Sea Dean’s ship equipment.” Xiaobai smiled and stretched out her finger. “Deep sea aura is harmful to ordinary people, but to me it is just a form of energy that can be completely absorbed by my ship equipment.”

“Oh…I see, no wonder…” Nia blinked, looking at Xiaobai, her eyes gradually brightening, “Xiaobai! You’re amazing!”

"not bad……"

What does it feel like to absorb the energy of deep-sea metal?

"...To be honest, it tastes pretty bad." Xiaobai thought for a while and said to Nia, "It's like eating a piece of severely moldy bread."

"...It tastes awful...okay."

Nia's gaze at Xiaobai was quite interesting.

Xiao Bai chatted with Nia for a few more minutes, then left her room without disturbing her work further, after saying a brief goodbye.

Xiao Bai stepped out of the room and looked at the clear sky.

Deepsea Akagi is still resting in her room. After all, Deepsea Akagi is only a normal human body now, and her physical strength is no match for Xiaobai or other Deepsea or ship girls. After staying up all night last night, Deepsea Akagi didn't seem to have changed much on the surface, but she was actually exhausted. Xiaobai had just brought Deepsea Akagi breakfast and helped her put on the ring, and then Deepsea Akagi lay down on the bed and fell asleep contentedly. It seemed that she had no intention of waking up for a while.

In order not to disturb Akagi's rest, Shiro has a dormitory and cannot go back.

Xiao Bai leaned against the railing in the corridor, looked at the playground below, and thought seriously for a while.

Ok……

Let's go out and take a look.

Yesterday, I revealed my status as the world's number one at the banquet. I wonder how the admirals in Chapter 8 view me now.

While soaking in the repair pool, Xiaobai was very curious about this and even opened the Admiral Forum and browsed the information for a long time. However, what Xiaobai found hard to accept was that the Admiral Forum nowadays had all kinds of discussions, whether it was about starting a team with Admiral Ke Yuan, commenting on the grand banquet of yesterday, or even talking about scientific research and construction machines, but there was not a single post that mentioned the world's number one Admiral.

To be honest, when Xiaobai spent the whole morning scrolling through her phone in the repaired bathtub and couldn't find a single message about herself, she was quite discouraged.

What's wrong with the admirals in Chapter 2861? Why are they so silent about the world's number one admiral? They're usually so enthusiastic when they see other top ten admirals in the world...

Ugh……

Am I really that unpopular...?

Xiao Bai sighed and left the dormitory building.

As soon as Xiaobai left the dormitory building, a familiar figure came into view.

Chapter 2862 Knowing Full Well

"Huh? Isn't that the Admiral?"

The familiar figure that appeared before Xiaobai was tall and graceful, with elegant and refined features, and a smile as warm and radiant as the sunshine, attracting attention.

what……

It's Missouri.

The moment Xiaobai saw Missouri, she wanted to smile at her, but before her smile could fully open, she seemed to realize something, scratched her cheek guiltily, and waved to Missouri somewhat awkwardly.

"Missouri... good afternoon..."

Xiao Bai's voice sounded somewhat timid and weak.

Normally, Xiaobai would be very happy to see Missouri, but Xiaobai had just done something "wrong" to Missouri, so seeing Missouri's smile now, Xiaobai couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

Missouri seemed completely oblivious, and approached Xiaobai with a warm, gentle smile.

"What a coincidence, Admiral." Missouri stopped in front of Xiaobai and asked with a smile, "Aren't you going to continue soaking in the repair pool to repair your ship equipment today?"

"Uh... um..." Xiaobai nodded awkwardly, "Being alone... is... a little boring..."

"Is that so?" Missouri looked at Xiaobai and said with a smile, "Then how about Missouri goes to find Senior Veneto for a live-fire exercise, and then goes to accompany the Admiral this afternoon?"

"No...no need..."

"..." Missouri looked at Xiaobai's flustered and flustered appearance. She thought for a while, and then a faint smile suddenly appeared on her lips. Then, taking advantage of Xiaobai's inattention, she took a deep breath and instantly showed a sad expression in front of Xiaobai, "Sigh... alright then."

"Hey? Missouri? What's wrong?" As soon as Xiaobai heard Missouri's sad voice, she immediately looked up and asked with concern.

"Admiral... I don't know why, but lately, Missouri feels like she's drifting further and further away from you." Missouri covered her mouth with a sad expression, her beautiful eyes peeking out, sparkling like talking springs. "Could it be that... the Admiral is gradually getting tired of Missouri, who's always the same, and has finally started to dislike Missouri's company?"

"How...how could this be!"

Missouri's words immediately made Xiaobai shake her head rapidly. She quickly stepped forward, grabbed Missouri's arm, and shook it as she spoke.

Missouri is Xiaobai's favorite ship girl!

Whether it's looks, figure, personality, or soul, Missouri is Xiaobai's favorite type!

Xiaobai could never get tired of Missouri, no matter who he gets tired of!

Xiaobai's dependence and affection for Missouri are so strong that he almost wants to activate the Fusion Card with Missouri!

If he hadn't just done something wrong to Missouri, how could Xiaobai have refused Missouri's offer...?

Seeing Xiaobai's flustered appearance, Missouri, who was covering her mouth, looked at Xiaobai and suddenly smiled.

"Oh, I see. Then why was the Admiral avoiding Missouri just now?"

"This... oh... this..." Xiaobai was stunned. Looking at Missouri's mischievous smile of triumph, she immediately realized that she seemed to have been tricked by Missouri again, and she broke out in a cold sweat. "That... that's... that's because..."

While Xiaobai was struggling with where to begin about the Akagi Deep Sea story, he was deeply troubled.

Suddenly, two more calls rang out.

"Oh? Missouri is here too?"

"Hmm? Is it that lively today?"

Upon hearing those two voices that would normally make Xiaobai feel exceptionally comfortable, Xiaobai suddenly froze.

"No, no way..." Xiaobai turned her head to look behind her, pausing between pauses.

Sure enough, in Xiaobai's field of vision, his own Changchun and Veneto were walking towards him.

Changchun smiled sweetly and waved to Xiaobai, the Oath Ring on her hand sparkling.

Veneto walked steadily toward Little White, her left hand hanging down to her side, the Oath Ring on her ring finger particularly eye-catching.

"Senior Veneto, Senior Changchun," Missouri greeted the two newlywed ships with a smile. "It's quite a coincidence to meet you at this time."

"Sister Missouri!" Changchun called out happily.

"Hmm... Missouri, I haven't seen you much lately. What have you been up to?" Veneto nodded noncommittally. She and Changchun stopped in front of Xiaobai and Missouri, looking at Missouri with some curiosity.

"Missouri didn't do anything special, she just got to know the ship girls from Admiral Nia's ship girl family a bit," Missouri said with a smile. "The ship girls from Admiral Nia's ship girl family are very enthusiastic, and Missouri has received a lot of care during this time."

"As expected of you." Veneto crossed her arms and chuckled. "I didn't expect to get so familiar with Admiral Nia's ship girls so quickly. I'm still only really close to the Veneto-class ship girls from Nia's family."

“Veneto, you’ve only just arrived. With your honesty, you might get along with the seniors more easily than Missouri,” Missouri said with a smile.

"I'll take that as a compliment," Veneto said, glancing at Xiaobai. "Speaking of which, what were you two doing just now?"

“I just saw the Admiral chatting happily with Missouri,” Changchun said from the side.

"What are you going to talk about? Can I join you?" Veneto looked at Xiaobai with an honest gaze.

In an instant, three pairs of eyes converged on Xiaobai's head, like three flowers gathering at the top of the head.

"Uh……"

Xiao Bai lowered his head and immediately felt the pressure coming at him like an endless wave.

No way……

Xiaobai would be happy if the three wedding ships appeared together at any other time, but why did they have to appear at this particular moment...?

With these three people staring at her, Xiaobai genuinely didn't know how to start a conversation with them...

"Actually...I...I..." Xiaobai stammered.

"Missouri was just talking to the Admiral about going out." At that moment, Missouri, who was standing nearby, spoke up with a smile to save the day, saying to the other two married ships.

“Missouri—” Xiaobai looked at Missouri with a touched expression.

"Oh, so that's what it is." Veneto nodded and said to Shiro, "Is the Admiral going out to check on the research and construction machines? Or to the Admiral's Guild? Since you're going out, it would be better to bring the ship girls along, wouldn't it?"

“Yes, that’s why Missouri was just asking the Admiral about this.” Missouri said with a smile, “After all, there are a lot of people and things going on in Chapter 8, so the Admiral always needs to bring a few ship girls with him when he goes out.”
