Elder brother's garrison

"Lady Luo Lian is in charge of helping with other parts, and the Admiral will also be lending a hand. Please rest assured, Admiral, it's just a small favor for you," Akashi said to Shiro.

Shiro instinctively reached out and took the ship equipment metal that Akashi handed over.

I never expected that Akashi had also assigned herself work.

Xiao Bai was slightly surprised.

But that’s fine.

After all, it was something made for his sister Yamato, so it would be perfectly legitimate for him, as the admiral, to contribute in some way.

Xiao Bai turned her head and looked at Luo Lian.

While Luo Lian was chatting with Akashi, she methodically took out various strange tools such as wrenches, scissors, screwdrivers, nails, hammers, and transparent tape from Er Gou's ship equipment space. After sorting and arranging the tools in her hands, Luo Lian turned her attention to Xiao Bai.

"Akashi, what do I need to do? Um... I'm not very confident in this area, so I might not be of much help..."

Xiaobai asked Mingshi with some shame.

"The matter that Akashi needs the admiral's help with is very simple. Don't worry, with the admiral's ability, it's just a piece of cake."

"Ah...that puts my mind at ease." Little White breathed a sigh of relief. "So, what do I need to do?"

"Eat." Akashi smiled happily.

"……Um?"

"eat."

"???"

Chapter 1150, today's sixth chapter, is as peaceful as ever (not really).

Akashi's speech shocked Xiaobai.

Akashi asked me to do this.

It's about eating?

Xiao Bai lowered his head, looked at the piece of ship equipment metal that was emitting a white light in his hand, and fell silent.

"...Uh, I can eat this...but why do you want me to eat this, Akashi?" Shiro looked at Akashi with some confusion.

"Admiral, didn't I tell you before that this high-grade ship equipment metal is very hard?"

"Yes, I did say that."

“When I was processing ordinary ship equipment metal, I only needed to heat it slightly to its melting point, then add rare metals and forge it a few times to gradually stabilize it. But this advanced ship equipment metal, which I saw Sukhbaatar use when I was at the naval base, has a much higher hardness and melting point than the previous one. The original processing method is no longer effective. In order to maintain the connection between ship equipment casting and engraving, I can only temporarily use a mold… Oh dear, Admiral, are you alright? Akashi saw that the Admiral looked completely confused.”

"..." Xiaobai nodded and gave an awkward smile.

"Ahem..." Akashi coughed lightly twice, then stretched out her arms and waved them a couple of times, indicating to Shiro not to mind what she had just said. "In short, Admiral, you can just remember that because the ship's equipment metal is too hard and too big, Akashi can't melt it in a short time."

"Ah! I understand now." A look of realization flashed in Xiaobai's eyes.

“That’s how it is!” Akashi smiled at Shiro. “For some unknown reason, the Admiral’s teeth can easily cut through the ship equipment of the Abyssal Fleet and the ship girls. So, in order to speed up Akashi’s work and reduce Akashi’s workload, Akashi hopes that the Admiral can help chew up these ship equipment metals.”

"Ah... I knew it." Xiaobai nodded, holding the ship's rigging metal. "I understand."

"Will the Admiral help Akashi?" Akashi asked.

"Well, it's something I made for Yamato-neechan, so it's only right that I put in some effort. Besides, it's just chewing it up, which is no big deal. I have experience with this kind of thing," Shiro said with a smile.

This is something like chewing food for someone else.

Xiaobai had helped Deepsea Yamato before. At that time, Xiaobai had just returned the little horn on Deepsea Yamato's forehead to her. Because all of Deepsea Yamato's ship equipment was damaged, she didn't have the strength to chew such a large piece of amethyst. Xiaobai chewed that thing up for Deepsea Yamato and then fed it to her.

"Alright, then I'll leave it to you, Admiral." Akashi seemed to have anticipated Shiro's words. After Shiro nodded, Akashi quickly took out a disc from her ship equipment space and handed it to Shiro. "Admiral, remember to chew as evenly as possible. Since the moisture will evaporate immediately at high temperatures, don't worry about saliva or anything like that. Just spit it out and put it here when you feel you've chewed enough."

"Oh, oh..." Shiro took the plate from Akashi.

Xiao Bai glanced in the direction of Luo Lian and Guild Master Er Gou.

Luo Lian pulled out a rather professional-looking camera from her clothes at some point, and was kneeling on the ground with a serious expression, pointing the camera at Xiao Bai who was holding a plate and ship equipment metal.

"...Lianlian...what is this...?"

"It's a camera; I bought it on the way yesterday."

"The timing of this purchase seems a bit suspicious... Could it be that you, Lianlian, bought this...?"

"I'm shooting study materials," Luo Lian said seriously.

"Uh... study materials?!"

“This is a video full of hope.” Luo Lian paused here, “I’m willing to pay any price afterward, just please let me film it.”

Do not know why.

Xiao Bai felt that Luo Lian seemed inexplicably excited today.

"Lianlian, it's very embarrassing to be photographed like this..."

"Don't panic. I will protect this hopeful video clip with my life. I won't let anyone but myself see it, and it will be used for the right purpose, so there's no big problem."

Luo Lian said.

Luo Lian's hand holding the camera didn't tremble at all, and she freed two fingers to give Xiao Bai an OK sign.

"……"noob.

Since Luo Lian has already brought it up to this point...

Xiao Bai had no reason to continue making excuses.

Xiao Bai squeezed the ship's rigging metal in his hand.

The ship equipment fragments in Sukhbaatar's transformed state are far harder than any object Xiaobai has ever seen in his life. Even with the ship equipment protecting him, Xiaobai can still feel a faint, sharp sensation from the sharp points of the ship equipment fragments when he squeezes the metal. It feels like they could pierce his skin.

Little White opened its mouth and gently bit into the fragments of Sukhbaatar's ship equipment.

The hard ship-mounted metal, under Xiaobai's gentle tapping, was like a crisp wheat biscuit, falling into Xiaobai's mouth without the slightest resistance.

Xiao Bai puffed out its cheeks and chewed for a long time, until it was sure that the ship equipment fragments in its mouth had been chewed into small pieces like sand, before slowly spitting them onto the plate.

"Alright." Xiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Luo Lian who was still filming her, and looked slightly embarrassed. "Ming Shi, here you go."

Akashi had been squatting next to her equipment, tending to the fire. At Shiro's call, Akashi turned to look at the "processed" ship equipment fragments in Shiro's plate and nodded in satisfaction.

"Although I feel it could be done in even more detail... at this stage, we can already speed up the construction to completion within two or three days." Akashi smiled smugly at Shiro. "Thank you, Admiral!"

"Hmm...you're welcome, you're welcome..." Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then Admiral, hurry up, there's no time to lose, let's start processing the next piece!" Akashi smiled and pointed to the pile of ship equipment fragments from the supply ships, which was as big as a washbasin, on the floor.

"Huh?? Do I have to process everything?"

"The amount of raw materials needed is surprisingly large... and this might not even be enough."

"But, but I remember it should only be a bracelet..."

“After all, there’s a failure rate, and with more raw materials, there are more styles to choose from!” Akashi smiled brightly at Shiro. “Then, Admiral, I’m counting on you!”

"……Um."

Xiao Bai lowered its head.

Blacksmith or something.

It is indeed a profound profession.

Xiao Bai picked up the second piece of Odin's ship equipment from the ground, put it in his mouth and chewed it, thinking somewhat awkwardly.

A whole basin full of ship equipment fragments.

When will I ever finish chewing this?

Xiao Bai felt that today might be the first time he had ever experienced the feeling of nausea from chewing on a ship's armor.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

About half an hour after Xiaobai started working on the ship's equipment.

Akashi, who had been squatting by the stove, finally started a big fire, stood up, said "cut," and announced that there were enough ship equipment fragments for today, and the admiral could rest.

Akashi skipped over to Shiro, took the plate from Shiro's hand, and then, under the watchful eyes of Shiro and the others, dumped the entire plate of ship equipment into the stove.

There was a bang.

The flames swallowed up all the ship's metal components.

Akashi Blacksmith Shop has officially started construction.

Although it had been more than half an hour, and Xiaobai's cheeks were starting to feel sore from chewing, seeing Mingshi squatting in front of the stove working so hard made Xiaobai feel at least a little more at ease, since he had at least put in some effort.

Making ship-mounted bracelets is surprisingly troublesome. From now on, until Akashi runs out of materials, Shiro can't help with anything else.

Xiao Bai rubbed his cheeks, looking completely drained, gave a wry smile, and after telling the people in the blacksmith shop that he would be leaving for a bit, he and Missouri turned around and walked out of the blacksmith shop.

As soon as Xiao Bai stepped out of the blacksmith's shop, Luo Lian's voice called out from behind him.

Xiao Bai turned around and saw Luo Lian and Guild Master Er Gou putting away their cameras and chasing after them out of the blacksmith shop.

"Ah, Lianlian?" Xiaobai stopped in her tracks as Luolian caught up with her. "Has Lianlian finished her business too?"

"Me? I've left all my tools there. I can't help you at this stage. I'll have to wait until your ship girl finishes her prototype before I can start working." Luo Lian's eyes darted around as she said this. "Moreover, Xiao Bai, this is my first time here. There are many places I'm not familiar with. Can you show me around and help me find my way?"

"Huh? Lianlian, don't you always memorize the map of your destination before you go out? Knowing your habits, even though this is your first time here, you must already be as familiar with Chapter Six as your backyard, right?"

"I forgot this time." Luo Lian shook her head without blushing or panting, and reached out to grab Xiao Bai's hand. "If you don't mind, take me with you wherever you're going later."

"Of course I don't mind!" Xiaobai smiled at Luo Lian. "Well... I was originally planning to wait on the beach for a while, and then go to Yamato-neechan's place tonight to tell her that we could pick her up soon... Lianlian, if you don't mind, how about coming to the beach with me to see the scenery?"

"Yes, that's fine." Luo Lian nodded with a smile.

Then, he secretly clenched his fist and, where Xiaobai couldn't see, made a fierce "yes" victory sign.

"The beach?" President Er Gou rubbed the back of his head, a hint of emotion in his voice. "It feels like it's been ages since I've been there. How's it doing now?"

"Over there on the beach?" Xiaobai pondered for a moment. "Hmm... I wonder how many people there were in the president's generation. But now, the beach is packed with people. Ah, of course, although there are many people, the beach is very harmonious and not chaotic at all."

"Oh? Chapter Six is ​​so peaceful?" Guild Master Er Gou laughed.

“Yes, yes.” Xiaobai and President Ergou looked at each other and smiled.

Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Half an hour later, Xiaobai, Missouri, Luo Lian, and Guild Master Er Gou arrived at the legendary beach of Chapter Six.

On the beach in Chapter 1151.

Crowds of people.

"Aaaaaah! Help! Aaaaaah! The deep-sea army is attacking!!"

"Where are the ship girls? Whose ship girls are here?!"

"What happened?! How come we can't beat them all all of a sudden?!"

"I can't contact my ship girl!! What should I do?!"

"Quick! Call for help! The Admiral's Guild! Go to the Admiral's Guild and ask for reinforcements!"

On the beach.

The panicked admirals ran around in all directions, shouting, screaming, and yelling, filling the entire beach at all times.

"……"noob.

Luo Lian and Guild Leader Er Gou silently looked at Xiao Bai.

Both of their eyes held a strange look that seemed to say, "So, Xiaobai, you call this peace."

This is for beginners.

Face flushed.

Ashamed.

written request for leave

Please allow me to tell a sad story first.

I wonder if there are any other users like me who have the habit of casually placing the juice cup that comes with takeout food on the bookshelf above their computer.

if so.

Then I should remind you.
