After a while.

Lexington smiled and looked up at Little White, who looked like he was about to face a great disaster.

"noob."

"I...I'm here!"

"When you apologize... how should you do it again?" Lexington asked with a smile.

"Huh?" Xiaobai looked up blankly.

"Ugh... I've been working so much lately, my shoulders are so sore." Lexington sighed, rubbing his shoulders, and said somewhat dejectedly, "Little White, you know my shoulders get sore very easily."

"!"

Upon receiving the order, Xiaobai immediately understood and ran behind Lexington, rubbing Lexington's shoulders.

Lexington leaned back in his chair with a smile, feeling the gentle massage of Xiaobai's fingers on his shoulders.

Lexington enjoyed it for a while.

"noob……"

"I'm here!"

Has anyone told you that you're a very good massage therapist?

"Ah...yes, yes."

Who has said that?

"There are quite a lot."

"I'm so envious, being able to enjoy Xiaobai's massages anytime," Lexington said.

"I, I'll be there whenever you call!" Little White quickly stood on tiptoe and pressed on Lexington's shoulder.

"Pfft." Lexington couldn't help but laugh when she saw how serious Little White was. "I was just kidding, don't take it so seriously."

"Zizzizi..."

Xiao Bai lowered his head awkwardly, and steam began to rise from his forehead like a boiling kettle.

“Little White, I’m not angry.” Lexington tilted her head and gently held Little White’s hand. “Reputation told me that you went to practice with Montana first because Montana was urging you. Besides, you’re all grown up now and you have your own ship. I won’t keep insisting that you come back and come to me first.”

"Are you really not angry?" Xiaobai asked cautiously.

“I never lie,” Lexington smiled.

"Ah..." Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief.

"But... seeing you looking so worried and anxious reporting back to me because you forgot to tell me first, it actually made me a little happy," Lexington said with a smile. "Hmm... that seemed quite amusing. How about pretending to be a little angry next time?"

"……"noob.

Chapter 3095 A Happy Event in Lexington

"Okay, that was just a joke." Lexington patted Xiaobai's hand and said with a smile, "Relax. Actually, I'm already very happy that you feel bad for not coming to see me on time."

"what……"

"Thank you for the shoulder massage, Xiaobai. My shoulders feel much better now."

Lexington remained seated in his office chair, while Xiaobai stood behind him.

Xiaobai's height is actually relatively short compared to other girls her age, but even so, she is still taller than Lexington, who is sitting in a chair.

Therefore, from Xiaobai's angle looking down, the gaze can easily pass over Lexington's shoulders and see the view in front of her chest from a perspective close to that of Lexington herself.

seriously.

From this angle, if you look down, almost half of your field of vision is blocked.

That's really quite amazing.

With such a powerful device always on his person, it's no wonder Lexington often complains of shoulder pain...

Lexington.

"Ok?"

"Um... is your shoulder always this sore?"

Xiao Bai let go of her hand and asked Lexington in a low, hesitant voice.

Lexington naturally noticed the look in Xiaobai's eyes, which was filled with amazement and a touch of longing as if he had just discovered a new world.

Lexington gave Little White a loving, elder-like smile.

“Actually, if you use the ship’s equipment power a little, the repair capabilities of the ship’s equipment can quickly relieve the soreness in your shoulders, no matter how much work you do.” Lexington gently pressed her chest and lowered her head slightly as she said, “But... isn’t that what life is like? It’s a little bitter and a little tiring, but as long as you can get through it, you will feel happier when you rest. The reverse is also true. If you always use the ship’s equipment power to make your life easier, the happiness you feel in your daily life will be greatly diminished.”

"what……"

"Let's leave the topic of sore shoulders here," Lexington said with a smile.

"Mmm..." Little White nodded quickly like a hamster.

"Let's leave aside Richelieu, who was practically already in our naval base and is now mostly just going through the motions," Lexington said to Xiaobai, gently twirling the edge of the document with her finger. "As for the remaining five new ship girl companions who have close ties to the special ship girls, Xiaobai, what are your particular thoughts about spending time with them?"

"Hmm? What are your thoughts?" Xiaobai tilted her head.

Of all the ship girls she'd recruited to the naval base, this was the first time Lexington had asked her something like this during the onboarding process; it was quite a novel experience.

"After all, they're special ship girls for the Holy Day... Even so, I'm a little curious," Lexington said with a smile. "Do these ship girls all have three heads and six arms?"

"How could that be... They're all ship girls with perfectly normal appearances," Xiaobai said with a smile. "But... aside from their appearances, they do have many unique features."

"where is it?"

"Hmm... in terms of abilities." Xiaobai touched her lips, thought for a moment, and said to Lexington, "From my personal experience, the abilities of special ship girls seem to be more amazing than those of regular ship girls. Take Jean Bart for example. As a ship girl created through construction, her ability is to make others ignore her, and she can copy the skills of others when they ignore her. If I hadn't given you my mental energy, even you would have quickly forgotten Jean Bart's name. So this kind of complex and amazing ability is extremely rare, even in the entire ship girl community."

“Ignore…and copy…” Lexington thought for a moment, then asked Little White, “Little White, if Jean Bart’s copying ability works, can anyone copy it?”

"She said that some parts are not possible."

"Little White, can she copy your laser cannon?"

"Probably not."

"Is it because there's no laser main cannon?"

“It’s not that…it’s an earlier problem.” Xiaobai shook her head. “Jan Barth’s copying ability only works when I’m in a spectator state, but her spectator ability doesn’t work on me.”

"That's a real shame." Lexington thought for a moment, then said with a smile, "Have you tried having her copy the abilities of the other two special ship girls?"

"I've never tried that before. Maybe we can let her try it when we get back."

"I'll wait for your results." Lexington nodded with a smile, lowering her eyes slightly as she looked at the documents on the table for a while. "Well... on another note, there's something else I'd like to hear your opinion on, Xiaobai."

"what?"

"Xiaobai, you said before that among the three special ship girls, Montana is the strongest, right?"

"Ah."

"Xiao Bai, how did your exercise with Montana go?"

"I won!" Little White said happily, flashing a peace sign at Lexington.

"Is Montana a formidable opponent for Xiaobai?" Lexington asked with a smile.

“Yeah, she’s super strong.” Xiaobai nodded seriously. “Her abilities are incredibly powerful, and she has a lot of tricks up her sleeve, but unfortunately, they’re useless against the Deep Sea Killer… So if I don’t use the Deep Sea Killer, I probably won’t be able to beat her.”

"For you to praise her like that, Xiaobai, it seems she really is quite good." Lexington nodded after hearing Xiaobai's words.

“That’s right,” Xiaobai remarked from the side.

Lexington blinked slowly at Little White, her fingertips gently drawing circles on the document.

A little while later.

Lexington continued speaking.

"So... Little White, who do you think would win if Montana and Frederick the Great fought?"

"Huh? Montana and Frederick?" Little White blinked, pondering Lexington's words, and fell into deep thought. "Hmm... that's true... I hadn't thought about it at all before. Montana and Frederick the Great are both opponents I think are incredibly strong. To be honest, after fighting them, I can't really tell who is stronger between them."

Xiaobai was serious about what he said.

Xiaobai only knew that Montana and Frederick the Great were both exceptionally powerful, but she really couldn't tell who was stronger between them.

after all……

If the Deep Sea Killer isn't removed, both of these individuals could fight the White Dragon controlled by the Deep Sea Will to a standstill.

And if Xiaobai were to pull out the Deep Sea Killer... both of them would be instantly killed by the Deep Sea Killer...

not sure.

It's hard to say.

"I'm relieved to hear you say that, Xiaobai." Lexington nodded with a smile after hearing Xiaobai's words.

"Hmm? Don't worry... What do you mean, don't worry?" Xiaobai looked at Lexington curiously.

"It's nothing." Lexington didn't explain further. She gently rubbed her shoulder, slowly stood up from her office chair, and stretched in front of Xiaobai. "Hmm—Xiaobai, you came back today, right? Then you probably don't have much time. Now that you've seen me, go find Yamato and the others. She... has missed you just as much as I have."

"Huh? Is that so?"

“I never lie.” Lexington patted Little White’s head. “Little White, come find me again after you’ve dealt with the matter of Chapter Eight and are able to come back properly. I want to see you bring these new companions to me and introduce them to me again.”

"Yes!" Upon hearing Lexington's words, Little White's eyes immediately lit up, and he nodded repeatedly. "I will!"

Xiao Bai pounced on Lexington, hugged him tightly around the waist for a while, and then left the office feeling refreshed and satisfied.

"Lexington, see you next time!" Xiaobai stood by the open office door, smiling and waving at Lexington.

"Hmm." Lexington smiled at Little White and waved gently.

Xiao Bai closed the office door, and faint footsteps could be heard outside as she walked away.

The office fell silent again.

Lexington sat back in her office chair, rested her head against the backrest, looked at the documents on her desk, and gently swayed her body.

"Mrs. Leigh, you look very happy."

Behind Lexington, the previously silent Prestige spoke up.

"Is it that obvious?"

Lexington stopped rocking in his chair, leaned out from behind while holding onto the armrest, and looked back with a smile.

Reputation nodded slightly.

"Is it because the admiral has returned to see you?"

“Seeing Xiaobai…is indeed a very happy thing.” Lexington nodded with a smile, but then she pursed her lips and said softly, “But apart from that, there is another thing that puts my mind at ease.”

"..."

"Aren't you going to ask what it is?"

"As a maid, one should not pry into the private affairs of the master one serves."

“Here we go again… We’re not master and servant, we’re sisters.” Lexington said to Reputation with a smile. “Besides, you just tried to gauge my mood, so why don’t you let it go this time?”

"Yes."

“Reputation, come pour me a cup of tea.” Lexington smiled and tapped the table in front of him. “I’ll pour you one too, let’s have a drink together.”

"..."

With a slight bow, she walked to Lexington's secretary's desk, took out a neat tea set, skillfully brewed tea, then took out a pastry tart and placed it on the table, pouring a full cup of black tea for both Lexington and herself.

A warm, sweet aroma filled the air.

After the black tea was brewed, Reputation, at Lexington's repeated prompting, sat down in the chair opposite the secretary's desk.

"Reputation tea, it's been a long time," Lexington said slowly, picking up his teacup and gently blowing on the red liquid inside.

"Because Mrs. Leigh usually brews her own tea," Reputation said.

"Will you come next time?"

"..." Reputation didn't speak, but simply picked up the teacup, closed his eyes, and took a sip.
