Elder brother's garrison

“As I said before, this is a ritual before the meal,” Deep Sea Will explained to Xiaobai. “And it’s also a good opportunity for her to meet you and let you see how she’s been doing lately.”

"Hmm... that maid outfit is quite pretty."

"I think so."

The Will of the Deep Sea and Little White exchanged a glance and nodded slightly, acknowledging each other's agreement.

While Bai Jiahei was cooking in the kitchen, Xiao Bai and Missouri chatted with Deep Sea Will in the living room.

Despite the girl's chaotic antics in the kitchen, which was filled with the clatter of cleavers hitting the ground, the flying pots and pans, and the terrifying sound of the stove's flames exploding, the three people in the living room continued their pleasant conversation without being disturbed in the slightest.

Deep Sea Will is not actually very talkative.

In most cases, Deep Sea Will's personality is more like that of a detached and gloomy homebody.

Even though the Deep Sea Will and Little White have now cleared up their misunderstandings and reconciled, and her attitude towards Little White is nowhere near as cold and distant as before... her personality has been with her for five hundred years, and it's not something that can be changed overnight. Therefore, Little White still can't imagine the Deep Sea Will chatting away like a warm-hearted young lady for hours. Most of the time the three of them chatted in the living room, Missouri took the initiative to start the conversation. She acted as a mediator between Little White and the Deep Sea Will, catching up on every word Little White said and throwing out the next sentence to the Deep Sea Will, ensuring that the three of them always had something to talk about and that no one would speak and no one would respond, leading to an abrupt silence.

During the conversation, Xiaobai also discovered something.

That is, the attitude of the deep sea's will towards Missouri is also very strange.

For the ship girl Missouri, Deepsea Will seems to have shown considerable tolerance and patience for the first time, specifically in that she would respond to every single word Missouri said, no matter what Missouri talked about with her.

Say something.

Xiao Bai felt that the Deep Sea Will's attitude towards Missouri seemed much better than it had been towards him before.

After realizing this, Xiaobai was a little jealous.

It took Xiaobai a very long time to finally get through her daughter's rebellious phase, make peace with the Deep Sea Will, and restore their relationship to what could be considered a normal mother-daughter relationship. However, the Deep Sea Will's affection for Missouri seemed to be more than just friends from the beginning, more like a sister or family member... This made Xiaobai feel like she was being targeted by the version.

"Admiral, what's wrong? You seem a little unhappy?"

Missouri saw Xiaobai's expression and asked her with a smile.

"No, I'm perfectly fine." Little White pouted, cupped her chin, and turned her head to the side, sulking to herself, leaving Missouri and the Will of the Deep Sea to guess.

Seeing Xiaobai's expression, which clearly showed his inner thoughts, Missouri smiled without saying a word.

After a series of clanging and clattering sounds from the kitchen, Bai Jiahei finally finished cooking.

As Deep Sea Will said, no matter what Bai Jiahei did in the kitchen, the dishes she ultimately brought out were always delicious.

Xiao Bai had watched as Bai Jia Hei crammed a terrifying amount of ingredients and seasonings into a jar, but when the food was cooked and poured out of the jar, what flowed out was an anime-style dish that radiated golden light, with an irresistible aroma, like a work of art.

Watching Bai Jiahei place the cooked dishes one by one on the coffee table, and smelling the mouthwatering aroma of the food in the air, Xiao Bai couldn't help but take another look at the earthenware pot in the kitchen.

Xiao Bai then noticed that there was a green dragon coiled on the earthenware pot in relief.

That thing...could it be the legendary kitchen utensil...?

"Boss Bai, come on, have a few more bowls!" Just as Xiao Bai was pondering, Bai Jiahei handed over a bowl of white rice, grinning at Xiao Bai, "Although you may not know, I'm actually a super good cook! I only recently discovered that whatever I make tastes especially delicious!"

"Ah...yes, that's how it is..." Xiaobai took the rice that Baijiahei handed her. She looked at the confident smile on Baijiahei's face, glanced down at the dishes on the table, and finally took a cautious look at the Deep Sea Will.

As if she hadn't noticed Xiaobai's gaze, the Deep Sea Will naturally picked up her chopsticks and began to eat the food on the table with composure and elegance.

It seems the Deep Sea Will never told Bai Jiahei about the fact that the kitchen in this villa was protected by special rules...

Well……

But these things... are better left unsaid.

It's really discouraging to say that.

Xiaobai put a piece of stewed, golden-brown pork rib into her mouth, savoring the taste while smiling at Baijiahei.

"Baijiahei, your cooking skills are really good."

"Hehe, I knew it!" Bai Jiahei put his hands on his hips, his face full of smugness.

Regardless, the meal was indeed very delicious.

Just as the Deep Sea Will said before, this meal contained the memory of the best food Xiaobai had ever eaten in his life. At the same time, Xiaobai felt as if his mother, Missouri, Akagi, and the chefs of a five-star hotel were cooking for him at the same time.

After finishing the meal, Xiaobai felt a sense of satisfaction and ascension.

After the meal, everyone rested for a while and chatted for a bit.

After the meal, Deep Sea Will did not keep Xiaobai and Missouri any longer. She did not even give Xiaobai and Missouri a chance to say that they could stay a little longer. After saying goodbye, she snapped her fingers and sent Xiaobai and Missouri back to the country road they had been on.

A sense of space tearing through them washed over them, and the next second, Xiaobai and Missouri were back in the place where they had just entered the spiritual world.

Surrounded by countryside, with green hills and clear waters, birdsong and fragrant flowers.

Xiao Bai rubbed his belly, looked around at the scenery, and felt a little helpless.

"The Deep Sea Will is really... it just drags us over whenever it wants to see us, and then throws us back after it's done... really..." Little White muttered, looking at Missouri beside her, "Missouri, don't you think the Deep Sea Will is a bit too... uh? Missouri, what are you doing?"

Xiaobai was about to complain to Missouri, but when she turned her gaze to Missouri, she found that Missouri was standing there, smiling, pulling open his collar and looking inside several times.

Upon hearing Xiaobai's question, Missouri smiled and loosened her collar.

"It's nothing. Miss Deep Sea Will just gave Missouri a small gift before she left."

"Huh? A gift? I didn't get one!" Xiaobai pointed to herself. "Where's mine? Where's mine?"

"Admiral, don't be in a hurry." Missouri smiled and leaned closer to Xiaobai. "This gift... although it's with Missouri, it can still be considered a gift for the Admiral."

"what?"

Xiaobai was a little confused after listening to Missouri's words.

Chapter 3848 The Real World

After being sent back to their original location by the will of the deep sea, there was still some time before dawn in the real world.

Xiaobai and Missouri returned to their life as a couple, and they spent a comfortable time in their mental world during this period, which was neither too short nor too long.

quickly.

As Xiaobai and Missouri's time together continued, Xiaobai finally learned, through Missouri's soft whispers, what the Deep Sea Will had given Missouri as a gift.

At the same time, Xiaobai also understood why Missouri said that this gift was also a gift to her...

……

As dawn approaches in the real world, in the spiritual world, on a pond...

Xiaobai and Missouri lay on a huge lotus leaf in the middle of the pond, completely naked and quietly embracing each other. Xiaobai's silver hair and Missouri's pale yellow hair were scattered and intertwined on the lotus leaf, with the ends of their hair slightly dipped into the water, creating ripples.

Neatly folded clothes were arranged on the edge of the lotus leaf, with underwear laid out on top of them.

With her eyes closed, Xiaobai nestled against Missouri, one arm wrapped around Missouri's stomach and around her waist, her head gently resting on Missouri's chest, feeling the touch of their skin against each other. Xiaobai's face was full of contentment.

"So, in the Admiral's mental world, the senses can be so sensitive." Missouri gently hugged Little White and murmured softly to it.

“Yes…” Little White murmured beside Missouri, “I only realized it recently… I wish I had known sooner…”

"I wish I could live here permanently in the Admiral's world." Missouri rolled over, reaching out to untangle Little White's hair, and said softly with a smile, "In Missouri's opinion, this world is truly a paradise on earth..."

“You can come whenever you want from now on,” Xiaobai said to Missouri.

"During the day too?" Missouri asked with a smile.

“Of course, you can do it during the day.” Xiaobai nodded.

"Ah..." Missouri nodded, thought for a moment, and asked Xiaobai, "Then... when the Admiral comes to work tomorrow, if he has finished all his work, can Missouri go to the Admiral's office to see him?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

“Missouri wanted to try… to secretly enter the Admiral’s mental world in front of Senior Lexington…” Missouri hugged Xiaobai, smiling. “In Senior Lexington’s eyes, the Admiral and Missouri were probably just holding hands and resting on the table back then, but in reality, Missouri was able to enter the Admiral’s mental world with him…”

"Eh...Eh?!" Hearing Missouri's words and feeling the breath brushing against her ear, Xiaobai's face flushed red. She shook her head repeatedly, "Missouri, no, no...this really won't do...not in front of Lexington..."

"Pfft." Missouri covered her mouth and laughed when she saw Xiaobai's flustered appearance. "Admiral, Missouri is just joking."

"...Ah, Yuan, it was just a joke..."

Xiaobai was stunned for a moment. Looking at Missouri's chuckle with her hand over her mouth, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and her rapidly beating heart calmed down a lot.

"Hmm... In front of the other seniors, the boldest thing Missouri could do was steal a kiss from the Admiral." Missouri untied the hair that was wrapped around her wrist and murmured softly, "If it went any further... even Missouri would feel embarrassed."

"...Is it just shyness for you...?" Xiaobai whispered, resting her head on Missouri's chest. "If it were me, I'd probably die..."

"Compared to this, a mere letter of apology circulating throughout the entire naval base is nothing, is it?" Missouri said with a smile.

"Huh? Missouri, why are you bringing this up again... I, I can't take it anymore..." Xiaobai was stunned. She covered her head and was about to panic, but suddenly, after thinking for a while, her gaze became a little strange. "Eh... wait... I think I'm actually not embarrassed anymore..."

Xiao Bai suddenly realized that after what happened with Missouri, the incident of the apology letter that made Xiao Bai so embarrassed being circulated throughout the entire naval base today seemed to no longer cause much of a stir in Xiao Bai's heart.

Of course... to be honest, there's still a bit of awkwardness, but at least I don't feel that mortifying awkwardness I had before.

Is it because I've entered a state of sage-like tranquility?

Xiao Bai looked at his palm and pondered for a while, puzzled.

“Right, Admiral?” Missouri gently patted White’s back. “Actually, none of this matters.”

Xiao Bai silently reached behind her and pressed down on Missouri's restless hand behind her back. Then, she pouted and looked at Missouri, who had a smile on her face.

"Missouri, it's almost dawn in the real world."

"Well, we should head out now." Missouri nodded to Little White. "Will the Admiral be at work tomorrow?"

"Yes, I will..."

As Xiaobai spoke, she closed her eyes and raised her chin toward Missouri.

Missouri, understanding the unspoken message, leaned in and gently kissed Little White's lips.

……

There was a sudden spin.

Xiaobai and Missouri left the spiritual world, and their consciousness returned to their bodies in the real world.

In the real world, outside the open window, the sky is a clear blue, cloudless, and exceptionally bright.

Missouri rubbed her shoulders, slowly got up from beside Xiaobai, sat on the edge of the bed and smiled as she looked out the window at the morning view.

Little White slowly got up behind Missouri, stretched, and made a "hmm" sound.

"Good morning, Admiral." Missouri turned around and smiled at Little White.

"Hmm... Missouri, good morning..." Xiaobai replied to Missouri, looking at Missouri's smiling face with a somewhat complicated feeling.

Just a few seconds ago, she and Missouri were cuddling and embracing in the mental world, but the next second they were back in bed in the real world, even getting up and saying good morning to each other... This was as if telling Xiaobai that everything that happened in the mental world was not real, making her feel somewhat detached.

"Admiral, Missouri has a few questions to ask."

Missouri raised her arm to tidy her long hair, and asked Xiaobai with a smile. Her snow-white neck was faintly visible as her hair swayed.

"Hmm? What's the problem?"

"When you enter the Admiral's mental world, is Missouri in the real world probably asleep?" Missouri asked Shiro.

"Hmm... I guess so." Xiaobai nodded, thought for a moment, and continued to Missouri, "But it's still a bit more tiring than real sleep... after all, the brain doesn't get any rest."

“It’s like this…” Missouri tied up her long hair and glanced at her palm. “When entering the spiritual world, Missouri in the real world always had to hold the Admiral’s hand… So what would happen if some external force suddenly made Missouri leave the Admiral’s side?”

"It'll probably be nothing serious, he'll just wake up suddenly," Xiaobai explained.

"Won't Missouri remain in the Admiral's mental world forever?"

"No way... um... our relationship is probably like plugging in a USB drive?" Xiaobai held up a finger to Missouri.

“I see, Missouri understands.” Missouri stood up, stretched her limbs, and gave a comfortable yawn. “Hmm… what a pity, if only Missouri could stay in the Admiral’s mental world forever.”

Listening to Missouri's words, Xiaobai scratched his cheek and smiled.

It seems that Missouri, like Super Yamato, is quite satisfied with Shiro's mental world.

Regarding this issue... perhaps the Deep Sea Will has a solution... but Little White doesn't want Missouri to do that...

after all……

The spiritual world is wonderful, but the real world is also an important part of life...

Neither can be missing.

Xiaobai got off the bed and hugged Missouri from behind. She felt the warmth and touch of Missouri's body and closed her eyes.

Ok……

While the self in the mental world may be omnipotent and able to do things conveniently, ultimately, the real world has its own unique sense of reality, something that the five senses in the mental world, no matter how realistic, can never replicate…

Missouri.
