Elder brother's garrison

Yubari, who had been watching from the sidelines for a long time, couldn't help but ask a question. But suddenly, before she could finish speaking, the ship's rigging in front of her and Shiro began to emit a loud, buzzing engine noise.

The ship's equipment instantly turned red and hot, and the violent operating sound rose to its limit like a soaring sonata. Then, with a whoosh, the missile ship equipment disappeared from Xiaobai and Yubari's sight.

at the same time.

A loud, unmistakable splashing sound came from the corridor leading to the hibernation room.

Chapter 3879 Red Rose

Just as the ship's equipment disappeared in front of Shiro and Yubari, followed by a distinct splashing sound from the direction of the hibernation chamber, Shiro and Yubari exchanged a glance.

They both saw a hint of delight in each other's eyes, as if to say, "Just as I thought."

"As expected!" Yubari clapped her hands excitedly. "After receiving your mental power, Admiral, that missile ship equipment, just like the ones in Guam and Alaska, quickly passed through the ship equipment fusion period and returned directly to the corresponding ship girl's body!"

"Uh... speaking of which, whose ship equipment was that just now?" Xiaobai tilted his head and asked curiously.

"There's no use asking now, let's go and see for ourselves!" Yubari didn't answer Shiro's question. She immediately grabbed Shiro's wrist and ran excitedly towards the hibernation room. "Admiral, did you hear the sounds coming from the hibernation room just now? That ship girl who has passed the fusion period must have woken up by now!"

"Sigh... this also requires a riddle teller..." Shiro was being pulled along by Yubari, smiling bitterly all the way.

“That’s not what a riddle-maker is, that’s what anticipation is!” Yubari uttered a long string of words without turning his head.

The hibernation room and the ship equipment display hall were not far apart, separated only by a corridor of about ten meters. Yubari pulled Shiro along and ran for a few breaths before they arrived at the door of the hibernation room.

The door to the hibernation chamber was wide open.

Shiro and Yubari were outside the door and could clearly see the several broken machines in the center of the room that were hissing and emitting sparks.

Seeing the machines he had "personally damaged," Shiro scratched his cheek awkwardly and glanced cautiously at Yubari.

Fortunately, Yubari's attention was not on the broken machines at all. She hurriedly led Shiro into the hibernation chamber and looked eagerly toward the hibernation pods.

really.

Things unfolded exactly as Yubari had predicted.

When Shiro and Yubari returned to the hibernation chamber, they found that one of the remaining four semi-transparent hibernation pods had automatically opened.

A slender, fair-skinned girl, dressed only in a lab coat resembling a bed sheet, sat on the surface of the slimy water, her arms supporting her weight, looking around in confusion.

After leaving the hibernation pod, the girl's once vibrant red curly hair, resembling a delicate red rose, was now soaked through and stretched straight as silk. Each strand of red hair clung tightly to her snow-white cheeks and shoulders, making her look like a red rose blooming in the snow, exceptionally eye-catching.

It seemed they heard Shiro and Yubari's footsteps.

The girl sitting in the water turned her head slightly and looked towards Xiaobai.

Between her striking red hair, a pair of blue-green eyes suddenly widened.

"...Commander...Commander? And...Dr. Yubari?"

“Garibaldi…” Xiaobai stopped in her tracks, looking at Garibaldi, whose transformation was now complete but whose body was in a rather awkward state. She couldn’t help but scratch her cheek awkwardly, revealing a complicated smile. “Ah… um… congratulations?”

"Eh...ah...I...I'm..." Garibaldi sat in the liquid-splattered floor like a newborn baby, listening blankly to Xiaobai's words. After hearing Xiaobai's congratulations, she seemed to snap out of her daze, the confusion in her eyes gradually returning to its former brightness. She looked down at her body, and upon seeing her current state, her face suddenly turned red. "Huh?! Why am I naked?!"

Garibaldi seemed to finally remember that she was still undergoing reformation. She quickly hugged herself and stammered as she got up from the slime-covered floor.

But perhaps because of the sudden panic, Garibaldi clutched her chest tightly. Her newborn body hadn't yet regained its balance, which caused her to step halfway up and her feet to slip on a sticky liquid. She let out a "whoosh" and fell headfirst in a perfect 180-degree somersault right in front of Xiaobai.

"Well----"

Garibold lay on the ground with her legs spread apart, her face gradually turning red, and she uttered a rather aggrieved sound.

“Garibaldi, it’s alright, it’s alright, there’s no one else here, no one saw you like this…” Little White quickly stepped forward and helped Garibaldi, who was covered in slime, out of the puddle.

"Ugh... Sir, why is it like this here... How did I suddenly get thrown up from the hibernation pod..." Garibaldi staggered to her feet from Xiaobai's arms. Looking at her disheveled appearance and the sticky mess covering the floor, she asked in confusion, "Could it be that our modifications have gone wrong...?"

“The modification is definitely not a problem,” Yubari interjected. “The reason you were spat out of the hibernation pod is because the modification time I estimated was much longer than the actual completion time. This resulted in a large surplus of nutrient solution in the hibernation pod when the modification was completed. To protect your safety, the hibernation pod spat you out along with the remaining large amount of nutrient solution.”

"Huh?" Garibaldi looked at Yubari blankly.

"Simply put, your transformation is complete!" Yubari smiled and gave Garibaldi a thumbs up. "Anyway, let the Admiral take you to take a bath first!"

Garibaldi stared blankly at Little White.

At this moment, Xiaobai smiled at Garibaldi.

“Yubari is right. Let me take you to take a bath first. You’re covered in sticky nutrient solution, you must be feeling uncomfortable,” Xiaobai said gently to Garibaldi. “If there’s anything you don’t understand, I’ll explain it to you on the way to the bath.”

“Ah…okay, okay…thank you, sir…” Garibaldi responded instinctively, then looked at Yubari, “Then Dr. Yubari…the sir and I will…”

"Go quickly." Yubari waved his hand.

Garibaldi, still somewhat dazed, followed Little White out of the hibernation chamber.

On her way out of the hibernation chamber, Garibaldi raised her arms somewhat bewildered. She carefully clasped her hands together, her brows furrowing nervously, before separating them again.

"Is there anything you want to ask?" Xiaobai asked with a smile when he saw Garibaldi's bewildered face.

“Sir…” Garibaldi looked at Shiro with confusion, “Generally speaking… shouldn’t there be a ship equipment fusion period for ship girl modifications? Why did you and Dr. Yubari both say that my modification is complete? But I don’t seem to remember going through this period at all…”

“You do have this period, but… your ship equipment fusion period probably only lasts less than five minutes.” Xiaobai recalled the process of replenishing the ship equipment’s mental energy before and explained to Garibaldi, “Actually, it’s like this. Yubari and I discovered a special ship equipment modification method. This special method allows ship girls to quickly skip the ship equipment fusion period. You are the ship girl we modified using this special method.”

"Huh? So that's how it is?" Garibaldi's eyes widened slightly as he murmured softly.

"Hmm...and...Garibaldi, take a moment to feel it," Xiaobai continued to Garibaldi, "did you also just awaken your ship equipment skill?"

"Ship equipment skills? I don't think so... I... I've been a blank ship girl for so long, I never thought I would awaken skills..." Garibaldi muttered to herself as if she were talking about something very distant, but out of trust in Shiro, she still closed her eyes and sensed it.

then.

The instant Garibaldi closed his eyes, she suddenly opened them as if electrocuted, parted her lips slightly towards Xiaobai, and revealed a look of astonishment.

"Huh?! No, no, no... wait a minute... ship equipment skills... could it be this..."

Garibaldi raised his hand in disbelief.

Immediately afterwards, a cluster of translucent blue-green light formed a rope-like shape in mid-air, intertwining with each other in her hand.

Such lighting effects, such a halo.

Without a doubt, this is something that only shipboard equipment skills can accomplish!

"Sir, I have a skill!" Garibaldi exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the special effect on her hand. She turned her head and shouted to Xiaobai as if she had received some great benefit, "Sir! Sir, look! This is my skill!! This is my skill!"

Garibaldi was overjoyed.

Garibaldi was so happy that she forgot she had just come out of the hibernation chamber. She happily reached out and wrapped her arms around Little White's arms, cheering and rubbing her soft body against Little White several times.

After rubbing against Garibaldi several times, a significant amount of the nutrient solution from his body ended up on Xiaobai's clothes.

By the time Garibaldi finally realized that his actions had been slightly out of line, Xiaobai's once dry clothes were now covered in a large water stain.

To Garibaldi's further shame, she discovered that the water stain on Little White's body was a subtle curve, with an arc-shaped upper half and a narrow, streamlined lower half.

"Ah... sir... I'm sorry..." Garibaldi blushed and stammered.

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Xiaobai smiled and shook her head. She casually wiped herself a couple of times, and soon the water stains on her body became blurred. "Awakening a skill, that's a very happy thing. I hope you can be even happier."

"Thank you, sir..."

Garibaldi shyly clasped her hands in front of her, but soon she became curious again.

“But…Admiral, why did I suddenly awaken a skill…I didn’t do anything…” Garibaldi looked at Shiro with confusion. “Although modified ship girls do have a higher probability of awakening skills than ordinary ship girls…it shouldn’t be possible to awaken a skill right after waking up, right? If you hadn’t reminded me, Admiral, I wouldn’t even have known I had a skill…”

Chapter 3880 Little White's life is always accompanied by misunderstandings

"Well... that's probably one of the benefits of using special methods to modify them." Xiaobai explained to Garibaldi, "Although it's not entirely certain yet, all the ship girls modified using this method have awakened their ship equipment skills."

"Huh? Is everyone else like this too?"

Garibaldi paused, staring blankly at Little White.

“Yes, Guam and Alaska, which you modified before, are in similar situations to yours,” Xiaobai explained with a smile.

"Guam and Alaska? Have they finished their modifications too?" Garibaldi was immediately delighted. She quickly took Little White's hand, shook her head left and right, and looked around for the two of them.

“Guam and Alaska finished their modifications earlier than you, and they’ve already gone back.” Xiaobai chuckled as he looked at Garibaldi, then explained, “We just went to the training grounds with them and did a little test of their combat skills.”

“Ah…they’ve already left…” Garibaldi said with a hint of disappointment.

“It’s okay, they said they’ll be back tomorrow,” Xiaobai continued. “After all, Guam and Alaska are very busy at the naval base. So many people are waiting for their concerts, and after resting for so long, they should go and respond.”

“That’s true…” Garibaldi nodded, then looked at Xiaobai with a broad smile in his eyes, “Thank you, sir.”

"Huh? Why are you thanking me?"

"Whether it's converting it into a missile ship or awakening its skills, these are things I never even dared to dream of." Garibaldi patted his chest with one hand, blushing as he thanked Xiaobai, "Thank you for your trust."

“There’s no need to be so polite,” Xiaobai replied with a smile after listening to Garibaldi’s words.

During their conversation, the two returned to the exhibition hall where the ship's equipment was displayed.

Little White led Garibaldi to the shower room that had been used in Guam and Alaska, and then gently patted Garibaldi on the back.

“Garibaldi, let’s go in and take a dip,” Xiaobai said.

"Thank you, sir."

Garibaldi nodded his thanks to Xiaobai, then carefully pulled on his lab coat, which was as thin as a bed sheet, and walked to the bathroom door, reaching out to pull open the curtain.

After Garibaldi pulled back the curtain, she didn't go in immediately. She stood at the door for a while, then looked back at Xiaobai, her gaze lingering on the water stains on Xiaobai's body for a few seconds.

“Um… sir… I’ve gotten your clothes dirty too… would you like to… wash them together?” Garibaldi asked in a low voice.

"The shower area is so small, it's too crowded for two people to shower together." Xiaobai waved her hand with a smile, "It's okay, I have plenty of clothes to change into."

“Ah…” Garibaldi nodded knowingly, her gaze shifting slightly with regret as she looked away from Little White. “That’s…that’s true…”

Garibaldi went into the shower room.

Soon, the sound of rushing water came from inside.

Ship girls' bodies actually have a self-cleaning function, but rinsing is a very pleasant and romantic activity that no ship girl would refuse.

The sound of rushing water echoed continuously.

Xiao Bai stood outside the shower room, watching through the curtain as the blurry figure inside struck several showering poses.

Not much time had passed.

About ten minutes later, Garibaldi, having finished rinsing, carefully pulled back the curtain and came out.

As soon as her no longer sticky, snow-white body stepped out of the door, the water droplets on her body quickly dried under the force of the ship's equipment. Her wet red hair also returned to its slightly curly state, swaying gently by her ears as she moved.

Garibaldi tentatively used the ship's power; a halo of light enveloped her body, and the next second, a thick, reliable dark green military dress appeared on her.

This is the default ship uniform after Garibaldi's modifications.

The term "ship outfit" refers to the clothes worn by ship girls when they activate their ship equipment.

Normally, each ship girl's ship rigging will only generate one style of ship uniform. If a ship girl is already wearing other styles of clothing, once she enters combat, regardless of her original style, those clothes will be transformed into temporary ship uniforms by the ship rigging's power. However, if a ship girl is not wearing any clothing, at the start of combat, her ship rigging will allocate some power to create a set of clothing out of thin air, automatically covering the ship girl's body.

This outfit, created out of thin air, is what's known as the default ship outfit.

Hmm...how to put it.

Compared to the flashy ship suits of Guam and Alaska, which resemble band outfits, Garibaldi's ship suit, while not as glamorous or eye-catching, is still very cool and sturdy, perfectly matching her hardworking and diligent personality.

"Oh, oh, oh, it's beautiful!"

Little White clapped his hands and smiled at Garibaldi.

"Thank you, sir..."

As Garibaldi listened to Xiaobai's praise, her face lowered slightly and flushed. Then, she reached out and patted her new clothes shyly, her legs under the skirt awkwardly pressed together.

“Let’s go find Yubari,” Shiro said to Garibaldi.

"Okay, okay!" Garibaldi quickly returned to Little White's side.

Garibaldi subconsciously took Xiaobai's hand and carefully looked at Xiaobai's profile.

Seeing that Xiaobai didn't react in any particular way, Garibaldi breathed a sigh of relief. Then she squeezed Xiaobai's hand and showed a relieved smile.

Xiaobai and Galibo returned to the hibernation chamber first.

Along the way, Garibaldi took the time to ask Xiaobai many questions, and Xiaobai patiently answered them one by one.

When the two returned to the hibernation chamber, Yubari was holding a dry mop and absorbing the nutrient solution that had spilled onto the floor.

"Yubari, we're back," Shiro called out to Yubari.

"Hmm? They're all back. That's good." Yubari glanced up at Shiro, his gaze lingering on Garibaldi for a moment before he nodded in satisfaction. "Now that you're back, let's find a place to sit."

"Dr. Yubari, let me, let me help you!" Garibaldi quickly let go of Shiro's hand, ran to Yubari, and took the mop from Yubari's hand.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't touch it! There are lots of delicate instruments in here. If you break it, I'll hold you responsible!" Yubari quickly shook her head, muttering as she pulled the mop back into her arms. She continued, "I'll take care of it. You two go and rest."
