Elder brother's garrison

The Alaskan "Inspiration" is not long, only a few tens of seconds long.

As Alaska stopped moving, so too did our imagination of blue skies, white clouds, green grass, and babbling brooks.

"Hmm, that's about it." Alaska asked Whitey, "What does the Admiral think?"

"Oh, oh, oh! Although I don't understand music, it sounds really good!" Little White immediately clapped at Alaska. "I thought you would play something more exciting."

"Hmph, if the Admiral thinks I'm just a rock guitarist, then he's completely underestimating me." Alaska smirked at Little White. "Actually, I can do a lot more."

“Music is a universal language,” Xiaobai nodded and said.

“That’s pretty much the idea.” Alaska nodded with a smile, then looked at Guam. “This is the first time I’ve played a section of this piece. Guam, what do you think?”

“Alaskan guitar skills are impeccable,” Guam said, then added after a moment’s thought, “but the instrument is wrong.”

"Indeed, it feels a bit strange to play this kind of song on an electric guitar, but unfortunately I don't have an acoustic guitar on hand."

"Huh, is that weird?"

Xiaobai was stunned for a moment. She clearly heard that although the style of this piece was different from before, it was still great.

“This involves the issue of musical style. Electric guitar is a rock guitar, which is not really suitable for this kind of slow-paced music.” Guam sat down next to Xiaobai, placed her hands on her thighs, and said politely to Xiaobai, “But if the Admiral thinks it’s good, then that’s for the best.”

"I'm just a novice... my advice doesn't count." Xiaobai scratched his head.

“No, no, no, your suggestion is the most important, Admiral,” Alaska said immediately, her fingers tapping lightly on the electric guitar. “Because the name I gave this piece is ‘Admiral.’”

“…The Admiral?” Xiaobai was taken aback.

"Yes."

"Does this admiral refer to... me?" Xiaobai pointed to himself to confirm.

"Yes~"

"...Eh! So, this was written for me??" Little White cupped her cheeks in surprise under Alaska's smiling gaze.

Chapter 3856 I am a guitar master

Seeing the belated look of surprise on Xiaobai's face, Alaska laughed heartily.

"Hahaha! Yes, yes, this is a piece I wrote for the Admiral!" Alaska said to Shiro, pressing the strings of the guitar. "After all, the Admiral is completely unrelated to rock music from any angle!"

"Uh..." Little White scratched his cheek and smiled at Alaska, "That makes sense..."

"However, I haven't completely finished writing this piece yet. The part that the Admiral heard was just a bit of inspiration that came to me during the modification process. If I have time to finish the piece later, I will personally play it for the Admiral again," Alaska said to Shiro.

"Thank you so much. You're the first person I've ever met in my life to write music for me." Xiaobai was a little touched.

To have your music composed... that's truly a unique and wonderful experience.

"Given your magnanimity as an admiral, your words of gratitude towards me wouldn't be just empty words, would they?" Alaska joked with Xiaobai with a smile.

"Ah...right, Alaska, what kind of reward do you want?" Little White asked immediately.

"Hmm... does the Admiral mean that I can offer any reward I propose?"

"Anything I can do to satisfy you! I'll satisfy you!"

"I see..." Alaska nodded, looking at Little White with great interest for a while.

In a brief moment, Xiaobai saw some mischievous looks on Alaska's face, which immediately gave Xiaobai a bad feeling.

Fortunately, Alaska didn't make things difficult for Little White in the end.

Even Alaska hasn't specified what its rewards are.

"I composed music for the Admiral simply because I enjoy music," Alaska said to Little White with a smile. "Why make such a distinction when it comes to satisfying creative desires? Actually, I don't expect anything in return. If the Admiral wants to reward me for this, I really have no reason to refuse, but if I'm the one asking for a reward, then forget it... The greatest reward you can give me is if you take the time to listen next time I play this piece for the Admiral."

"I see..." Little White listened to Alaska's words with some regret, "So it turns out I didn't understand your good intentions... I'm sorry..."

"Hmph." Seeing that Little White was a bit down, Alaska immediately stood up from the sofa and slung her electric guitar back over her shoulder. "Time for simple improvisational tunes is over! Now it's rock time!"

"Huh? Do you want me to play it again?"

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Admiral, don't forget my primary hobby is rock and roll! Ever heard of Red Three Times Speed?"

"Red Triple Speed...? I think I've heard someone mention that before..."

"Then I'm going to rock pink at triple speed!" Alaska held the neck of the guitar in one hand, took out a pick with the other, and quickly strummed it across the strings. With a whoosh, a powerful sound effect spread out. "It's time to show the Admiral my skills!"

"what……"

Alaska looks ready to make a big splash.

Xiao Bai nodded subconsciously.

However, the Alaskan rock solo ultimately did not come to fruition.

Just before Alaska was about to start rocking out, a voice came rushing over.

"Alaska, it's so noisy!"

Alaska's raised arm went limp the moment she heard the shout.

Xiao Bai and Guam turned around and saw a figure wearing a white coat angrily pushing open the door of the renovation house in the distance and running towards them.

"How many times have I told you not to play guitar in my modification factory! This place is full of super-precise equipment, you can't even sneeze loudly, understand?! What if you play those scary things and break all the equipment?!" Yubari came running over angrily, muttering to Alaska as she ran, "Applying for those instruments is such a hassle, and if you break any one of them, it takes a long time. I can't let you cause trouble in my factory. Oh, isn't this the Admiral? You're here too. Anyway, put your guitar away right now, you bastard! If I see you playing that kind of thing in the factory again, I'm going to get really angry!"

As Yubari finished speaking, whether it was due to his familiarity with the language or his naturally eloquent speech, he suddenly burst out with a long string of words.

Alaska quickly grabbed her guitar, smiled apologetically, and sat back down on the sofa.

"Oh! Isn't this Dr. Yubari? Don't worry, don't worry, I wasn't playing. I was just playing some simple tunes before... This time it's just that I haven't played the guitar in so long, and my hands were itching to practice..."

"I don't believe your nonsense, you even plugged in the speakers!"

"It's just plugged in for fun!" Alaska immediately unplugged the speaker, saluted Yubari, and said, "Please rest assured, Doctor!"

"Oh dear... really..." Yubari looked at Alaska and sighed helplessly. She put her hands on her hips and glanced at the time. "Anyway, Alaska and Guam, your free time is coming to an end. It's time to come back with me to continue adjusting the ship equipment matching."

"Want to stay a little longer?"

"Are you haggling with your ship modification engineer?" Yubari looked up, her gaze condescending.

"No way, I'm coming, I'm coming!" Alaska immediately stood up and stuck her tongue out at Little White. "Admiral, sorry, it seems I need to excuse myself for a moment."

"Sigh, Alaska has angered Dr. Yubari again. If she hadn't, we could have spent more time with the Admiral," Guam sighed.

"It's okay, we can talk after you're done." Xiaobai smiled and waved to Alaska and Guam.

Alaska and Guam nodded in agreement, and they both stood up and stood behind Yubari.

Yubari glanced helplessly at the two ship girls, then her gaze shifted to Shiro.

"Admiral, did those two cause you any trouble while I was away?" Yubari said to Shiro, pointing to the ship girls behind her, especially Alaska.

"No, we had a lot of fun together," Xiaobai said with a smile.

"That's good..." Yubari looked at Alaska with some suspicion, but since Shiro himself said it was fine, Yubari didn't doubt it. "Then we'll go back."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work these past few days, Yubari."

Shiro thanked Yubari.

Yubari shrugged at Shiro, grinned, and then led Alaska and Guam back to the renovation room.

Watching the three figures disappear into the remodeled room, Xiaobai scratched his cheek and let out a long sigh of relief.

Ok……

It seems Alaska has been causing Yubari quite a bit of trouble lately...

After all, one is a rock singer and the other is a senior researcher; their interests do seem to be completely parallel and never intersect...

Thinking of this, Xiaobai looked at the sofa.

An Alaskan electric guitar lay on the sofa.

Xiao Bai walked to the seat where Alaska had sat before. Looking at the faint dents on the sofa, Xiao Bai bent down and picked up the electric guitar, his fingertips gently touching the strings.

Xiao Bai's fingers gently plucked the strings, but only produced a very faint sound, completely lacking the lively and bright tone that Alaska had produced when he played the electric guitar.

Sigh... musicians are really something.

Xiaobai knew absolutely nothing about playing the guitar, and she couldn't even read sheet music, so she could only recall the subtle movements of her fingers when she played the guitar in Alaska.

Soon, Xiaobai slowly played the tune "Admiral" that Alaska had played earlier on his electric guitar.

However, compared to Alaska's own playing, Xiaobai's playing was significantly worse... Both the volume and the stability of the sound quality were far inferior.

If Alaska's own performance of the music was a perfect live version, then Xiaobai's reproduction of the music was a completely flawed version. The music she played was the kind where every note was correct, but when put together, it was completely wrong.

After playing a short piece, Xiaobai stopped playing with a bit of regret.

Xiaobai shook his head.

As long as she concentrates, Xiaobai's observational skills far surpass those of normal humans. Coupled with Xiaobai's powerful memory, when Alaska played this little tune, Xiaobai remembered exactly how to pluck the strings for each note, even down to the amplitude. But she didn't expect that even though she had tried her best to replicate Alaska's piano playing movements, the music she produced was still so different from how Alaska played it...

To be honest, this really does require talent...

Thinking about this, Xiaobai immediately gained a deeper understanding of Alaska's playing level, and she turned around.

then.

The moment Xiaobai turned around, she saw a pink ship girl standing behind her.

The pink ship girl stared with her pink eyes wide open, her full lips slightly parted, her beautiful face filled with surprise and astonishment.

"Huh?" Xiaobai was stunned when she saw the Alaskan Malamute suddenly appear behind her. Looking at the guitar she was holding, she felt embarrassed, like someone caught red-handed stealing. "Alaskan Malamute? You... how did you get back..."

"Admiral... I... I came to get the guitar..." Alaska pointed to the guitar in Xiaobai's arms, but her eyes immediately lit up, staring at Xiaobai with surprise. "No, that's not important anymore, but Admiral! You know music!"

"No, no, no, I don't understand at all, I'm a complete novice..."

"Hahaha! Admiral, you must be joking! What kind of novice can play a stringed instrument on their first try? And what you just played was my 'Admiral,' right? You only heard it once and you were able to transcribe the sheet music, and your timing was perfect!" Alaska pointed at Shiro, her face saying, "Admiral, stop pretending!" "Admiral! Are you one of those seemingly ordinary but actually highly experienced hermit masters from those band anime?"

Chapter 3857 Temptation

Alaska and Guam... What kind of people are these two veteran ship girls who joined the naval base at its inception?

Friendly and approachable, hardworking and earnest, youthful and vibrant, like bright sunshine...

Through their previous interactions, whenever the two sisters are mentioned, Xiaobai can always come up with many words of praise for these two ship girls.

As combat characters, they may not be as outstanding as the other top-tier ship girls in the naval base, but as characters for the character encyclopedia, Alaska and Guam are still a pair of sisters who are easy to get along with, especially Shiro, who develops a strong liking for them.

After all, who could resist a beautiful and attractive gold-raided ship girl?

Xiaobai has no complaints about Alaska or Guam.

But right after Xiaobai touched the Alaskan's guitar and was caught red-handed by the returning Alaskan, what happened next slightly changed Xiaobai's impression of the Alaskan.

She should have noticed it sooner.

……

"dong dong dong dong..."

Ignoring Xiaobai's explanations and excuses along the way, Alaska excitedly pushed Xiaobai and rushed into Yubari's ship girl modification workshop.

"Guam, Guam! Look!"

As soon as Alaska ran into the modification workshop, she opened her clear voice and shouted inside. Her excited voice echoed throughout the workshop like a nightingale.

Then, amidst this sound, the two people inside the modification workshop turned their heads and looked at Xiaobai and Alaska.

Yubari's renovation workshop refers to a special workshop within a renovation factory.

During the retrofit in Missouri, Xiaobai did come here once, but most of the time the retrofit workshop was locked while it was in operation. This is because it is a place specifically for retrofitting ship girls. Compared to other areas of the retrofit factory, the workshop has a more complex room structure, more stringent environmental requirements, and more expensive and sophisticated equipment. In principle, no one is allowed to enter except for Yubari herself and the ship girls undergoing retrofitting, including the ship girls guarding outside.

Inside the modification workshop, Guam and Yubari were completely unprepared for Shiro's arrival. They watched as Shiro was awkwardly pushed in by Alaska, and the two of them froze on the spot.

Guam was sitting on a round swivel chair for a medical examination. She had taken off the clothes she wore before entering the modification workshop. Now she was completely naked, with her legs together, one arm around her full breasts, and the other arm raised, letting Yubari hold a large box of odds and ends and carefully attach various small metal patches for monitoring her physical condition under her snow-white armpit.

"Ah... Admiral..."

When Guam saw Little White, she subconsciously parted her lips and made a soft sound.

Guam had no idea that Xiaobai would enter the modification workshop at this time.

Immediately afterwards, as if realizing that she was in a physically unburdened state, Guam blushed slightly, hugged her chest, and twisted her slender waist on the medical examination chair, turning herself from facing Xiaobai to facing Xiaobai from the side.

"Admiral, you...how could you..."

Guam instinctively turned her body to the side to avoid Xiaobai's gaze; this was a self-protective behavior she used to hide her inner shyness.

However, Guam may not even realize one thing.
