Elder brother's garrison

"Oh! Good morning, Admiral!"

"The sun's shining on my butt!"

"Hello everyone." Xiaobai smiled slightly at everyone. She walked up to them and greeted everyone in turn. Then she looked curiously at the book on Montana's lap. "Montana, what did you just tell Hindenburg about?"

“It’s just some stories generated by AI on the spot.” Montana shook her head and handed the storybook to Xiaobai. “I heard from Deepsea Hindenburg that you told her some interesting stories, and after she finished telling them, I tried to continue them using the AI ​​in my tactical device. It seems to be working well.”

"AI really is omnipotent..." Xiaobai exclaimed as he took Montana's fairy tale book and flipped through it.

"Speaking of which, where's Ms. Deep Sea Yamato?" Montana asked, looking behind Xiaobai. "Didn't she come down with you?"

"Ah...she's still sleeping."

"Admiral, I didn't expect you to be so capable." Montana seemed to understand something. She gently touched her lower lip with her index finger and said with a smile.

"..." Xiaobai closed his eyes, lowered his head and coughed softly, "Montana, what are your plans for today?"

"Hmm... I've stayed here for one night, and after a night's rest, I'm much more satisfied," Montana said, nodding. He shrugged slightly, a hint of regret in his expression. "If possible, I'd like to stay longer... but I guess the conditions don't allow it anymore?"

“Yes, you’ve only just joined the naval base, so they’ll definitely send someone to interview you from Chapter 8,” Xiaobai said to Montana. “It’s time to go back and show your face today.”

“What a pity.” Montana shook his head.

"It's alright, I can take you back after the interview," Xiaobai said with a smile. "I just didn't expect you to like the naval base so much, that's a bit of a surprise."

“This new home is quite new to me,” Montana said with a slight smile to Little White.

While everyone was chatting, the sound of the stove in the kitchen finally stopped.

Loki brought out the breakfast he had prepared.

Because they had to go to work, the directors of the Deep Sea Academy, though reluctant to spend time with Xiaobai, could only quickly finish their breakfast and rush out the door.

"Admiral! Hurry up and get Chapter Eight sorted out!"

"Goodbye, Admiral—"

The deans of the Deep Sea Institute left the dormitory one after another, and the sound of departing footsteps echoed in the corridor.

Loki handed a sandwich to Whitebeard, then took off his apron and bowed slightly to him.

"Master, Loki must take his leave now."

"Ah...yes! Loki, good luck on your way to work!"

"Follow the instructions carefully."

Loki folded his apron and stuffed it into his ship equipment space, then said goodbye to Xiaobai and left the dormitory following the footsteps of the others.

After Loki left, Little White held the sandwich and glanced at the clock on the wall.

It was 5:30 in the morning. The once lively living room was now empty except for himself, Montana, Super Yamato, and three other Deep Sea Deans who didn't have to work. The atmosphere suddenly became much quieter.

The maids at the newbie naval base have a really tough job.

Xiaobai took a bite of the sandwich.

The salmon salad is filled with bacon and topped with a layer of crisp lettuce, leaving a sweet and lingering aftertaste.

Xiaobai thinks the taste is pretty good, but Montana, who prefers a more intense flavor, might find it just average.

Xiaobai looked at Montana.

really.

Montana was eating Loki's sandwich. Although she didn't show anything on her face, her appetite was clearly not as enthusiastic as when Whitey brought her the Missouri bento box before.

Just as Xiaobai was thinking, Montana noticed Xiaobai's gaze.

"Admiral? Is there something on my face?" Montana put down his sandwich and asked Little White.

"After breakfast, I'll go upstairs to check on Yamato-neechan again. If she's awake, I'll say goodbye. Then I'll go to the Admiral's office to see Lexington. After I get back, let's go back to Chapter Eight," Xiaobai said, revealing his plan for the day. He smiled and asked Montana, "What do you think?"

“Hmm? Okay.” Montana nodded, picked up the sandwich and took another bite.

In the admiral's eyes, the ship girl named Lexington seemed to have a parental-like status, while Abyssal Yamato was like a wife in the family...

Looking at it this way, the admiral is actually quite humane.

Montana thought to himself.

“It will be a while before Yamato wakes up.” After thinking for a while, Xiaobai said to Montana, “Anyway, we’re just idling around, so you’re free to do whatever you want, Montana.”

"Does the Admiral mean I can go for a walk?" Montana pointed to himself.

"That's not like I'm going to tie you to my side," Xiaobai laughed. "I'm my ship girl, this entire naval base is your home, and no one will care where you go."

“I see. Then I must thank the Admiral.” Montana smiled and said to Little White, “I didn’t finish exploring this naval base yesterday. It’s so big, I can take this opportunity to go and see it.”

Chapter 3102 The Sound of Chains

It was two hours later when Shenhai Yamato finally woke up from bed, rubbing his shoulders and supporting his back as he walked downstairs.

Xiaobai chatted with Shenhai Yamato for a while and told her that he was about to leave.

After listening to Shiro's words, Yamato Shinkai felt a little regretful that Shiro hadn't stayed at home for long enough, but she didn't say anything in the end. She just said somewhat sadly that she would wait for Shiro to come back.

After Deepsea Yamato finished eating breakfast and dinner, Shiro left Super Yamato in the dormitory first, and then left with Montana.

Xiaobai and Montana left the dormitory building and arrived at the plaza of the newbie naval base.

At this moment, the sun was shining brightly in the newbie naval base square, and the beautiful figures of ship girls could be seen everywhere.

Montana strolled through the flower garden with great interest, admiring the ship girls along the roadside, but her eyes were on one thing and her feet on the other, as she kept close behind Xiaobai.

"Montana, aren't you going for a walk?" Little White stopped and looked at Montana helplessly. "I remember we were told you could move around freely?"

"Aren't I acting freely right now?" Montana said to Xiaobai with a smile. "I've chosen to follow the Admiral. He won't look down on me, will he?"

"I wouldn't say I'm disgusted..." Xiaobai scratched his cheek and gave a wry smile. "I'm going to go find Lexington next... Are you coming with me?"

“Lexington… I’m quite interested in that person.” Montana thought for a moment, then shook his head. “If possible, I would love to meet her, but we agreed that the opportunity to meet Lexington would be reserved for meeting Project 24, Jean Bart, and Jinan and Anshan together, so I won’t go this time.”

"Then why are you still following me?"

“I’ll escort the Admiral into the office building.” Montana winked at Little White, “Maintaining a dutiful and responsible guardian.”

"..." Xiaobai shrugged.

Since Montana wanted to follow him, Little White wouldn't say anything more.

Little White and Montana walked one after the other toward the admiral's office.

Along the way, Xiaobai was greeted by the ship girls around her. She nodded and greeted them one by one. Montana behind her was also very friendly and introduced herself to the ship girls and exchanged contact information. Xiaobai was secretly amazed by the efficiency of their social interaction.

"Montana, you're not using me to build relationships with the others in the naval base, are you?" After seeing off another group of ship girls, Xiaobai turned back to Montana and asked helplessly.

"How could that be? I'm being sincere." Montana shook her head, satisfied as she put away the row of contact numbers on her phone. She looked up at Xiaobai and smiled, saying, "But it's also thanks to the Admiral that I was able to meet so many of my naval comrades and get to know all sorts of senior ship girls so smoothly. I'm truly grateful."

"Ugh."

“Speaking of which, Admiral,” Montana asked Little White again.

"What's wrong?" Xiaobai looked at Montana.

"Hmm... When I left the dormitory just now, I saw that Ms. Yamato seemed very reluctant to see you leave," Montana asked. "Based on my understanding of the Admiral's personality, you would probably have comforted Ms. Yamato at that time, but strangely, you didn't do that and left immediately, as if you were hiding something from her... Could it be that what the Admiral is hiding is related to your upcoming meeting with Lexington?"

"..." Xiaobai stopped and looked at Montana, "Montana..."

"I'm here."

“People who are too sensitive can be annoying…” Xiaobai held up a finger to Montana, “Shh…”

"I will heed your teachings." Montana smiled and stuck out his tongue at Little White.

Xiaobai and Montana arrived in front of the Admiral's office building.

Montana watched as Xiaobai walked to the front door of the office building, waved to him, then opened the door, went inside, and disappeared behind the door.

After seeing Xiaobai off, Montana stretched.

"Hmm—the admiral has also been seen off, now we can really move around freely."

Montana sighed to himself, then put his hands on his hips and looked around.

The plaza in front of the admiral's office building is like the city center, with a large number of side roads that connect the entire naval base like overpasses.

Montana stayed in the center of the square for a while, and soon she heard a faint, familiar voice.

Following the sound, Montana walked towards the admiral's office building and found that on the lawn behind the building, the deep-sea maids were carrying buckets of water and balancing books on their heads, undergoing special maid training.

Standing before the deep-sea maids was a dashing maid with heterochromatic eyes and a golden updo. Judging from the style of her clothes, she seemed to be of a higher status than the other deep-sea maids.

This ship girl... I saw her in Montana yesterday, I think her name is Renown.

She is the head maid of the naval base, with extensive experience and a high reputation, and is deeply trusted by the ship girls of the base.

Montana hid in a corner, secretly watching the deep-sea maids.

"Waaaaah, I was only five minutes late, and I still have to be dragged here for posture training—"

"Corporal punishment is forbidden! Corporal punishment is forbidden!"

"My arm is going to break..."

The deep-sea maids stretched their arms out to the sides, holding the buckets tightly, and struggling to keep the books on their heads from falling. Most of them had a look of grievance on their faces.

“For a maid, being five minutes late means making her master wait for her for five minutes for no reason.” Reputation stood calmly in front of the maids and said, “This is a dereliction of duty that violates the spirit of a maid. Therefore, I will take responsibility for correcting your thoughts and behaviors.”

"No!!"

"I'll never be late again!"

"It's the Admiral, the Admiral has eaten up all of everyone's time..."

The deep-sea maids let out a bloodcurdling scream.

Montana, who was in the corner, watched the Deep Sea Maids being punished and laughed with great interest.

It's really fun.

Although the ship girl named Renown is indeed a battle-hardened and powerful warrior judging from her aura, in the end, her combat strength is only at the top level within the category of "ship girls". Facing more than a dozen incredibly powerful Abyssal Deans in front of her, if these Abyssal Deans were to rebel in a fit of anger, she would definitely not have a chance of winning by herself in a real fight.

But... what's interesting is that even though these Deep Sea Deans could easily defeat the Prestige if they wanted to, they still behave like a bunch of rabbits in front of Prestige. Although they might complain and grumble, they don't budge an inch.

Even when reprimanded by the prestige bureaucracy, they couldn't utter a single word of protest.

For the powerful and influential Deans of the Deep Sea, this scene is truly unimaginable.

What kind of methods could make these supposedly unruly deep-sea deans so obedient...?

Thinking of this, Montana nodded and looked towards the Admiral's office building.

Or is it...?

The reason these deep-sea deans obey... isn't because of their prestige, but because of other people...

Just now.

Seemingly sensing something, Reputation, who was correcting the posture of the Deep Sea Deans, stopped what he was doing and turned to look at the open space behind him.

When Reputation turned around, the open space behind her was empty.

"..."

Reputation silently looked at the empty space, then slowly turned its head back.

"Head Maid? What's wrong? Why did you suddenly turn around to look behind you?"

"nothing."

"Oh……"

"Also, your posture is wrong again; you need to raise your arms."

"Ughhhhh, my arms are so sore! Ughh ...

The wailing of the Deans of the Deep Sea Institute rang out once again.

……

"That was close, that ship girl named Renown is really perceptive." Montana walked through the garden of the newbie naval base, her hands behind her back, smiling and talking to herself as she walked forward. "It's really interesting. The things that happen in this naval base are always different from my preconceived notions, bringing me a lot of novelty. It's really a good thing to be taken in as a ship girl by the admiral."

As Montana spoke, he looked up and smiled at the sky.

As the saying goes, seeing is believing.

Montana naturally assumed that deep-sea creatures were all unruly and unteachable, and that ship girls and deep-sea creatures... especially the deep-sea dean, were two irreconcilable camps.
