Elder brother's garrison

The next second, a pair of arms suddenly stretched out from behind Xiaobai, and with a powerful force, jumped onto Xiaobai's back and hugged Xiaobai from behind.

"Ya-ha-lou!!!"

A melodious and clear call exploded in Xiaobai's ears.

"Huh??? Ugh..."

Xiao Bai felt as if two incredibly soft marshmallows were pressing against his back. After a thrilling sensation, Xiao Bai was propelled by a powerful force and involuntarily took a few steps up the stairs.

"Waaah...ya!" Xiaobai cried out in a panic, instinctively picking up the woman behind him and running down the steps, spinning around in place several times.

The woman who appeared behind Xiaobai cooperated quite well with Xiaobai's actions.

As Xiaobai instinctively reached his hands behind him, the woman behind him also placed her smooth, firm thighs on Xiaobai's hands, allowing him to hook his thighs and carry her on his back.

"Huh?! Who...who is it?!" Little White finally regained her balance after being pushed around, and then looked around in confusion to see who was behind her.

However, the moment Xiaobai turned around, a pair of cold, slender hands swiftly reached out in front of Xiaobai's eyes and gently covered them.

"Hahahahahahaha... Admiral from another region, nice to meet you. Guess who I am?"

At the same time, a crisp and pleasant sound also entered Xiaobai's ears.

Make sense.

Early in the morning, I was suddenly pranked by some random person.

It's actually quite upsetting.

But pranks are pranks.

As Xiaobai felt the incredibly soft touch of the girl's body coming from his back and hands, and the girl's sweet fragrance wafting into his nose, he couldn't bring himself to get angry, no matter what.

I even inexplicably developed a feeling of "I'm in a good mood today, so I'll just play along with her."

"Huh? A governor from another region..." Xiaobai muttered.

The strangeness of being called an admiral from another region is something I've only ever heard Zara refer to myself like that in all my years of life.

However, Xiaobai remembered Zara's voice and figure. Given Zara's tall stature, it was highly unlikely that she could ride on Xiaobai's back.

If you say so...

"Uh... Could it be... could it be that you are Zara's companion?" Xiaobai calmed down, thought for a moment, and asked with some curiosity.

"That's right!"

The slender hand covering Xiaobai's eyes was removed.

Subsequently.

Xiao Bai felt a lightness behind him, and the body that had been clinging to him like cotton wool lightly jumped down behind him.

Xiao Bai turned around.

A rather pretty orange-haired ship girl stood gracefully behind Xiaobai, raising a peace sign and smiling brightly at her.

Not far behind the orange-haired ship girl, at the original entrance of the inn, Zara, holding a red umbrella, stood next to Hindenburg, looking at her with a slightly apologetic smile.

"Hey, admiral from out of town." The orange-haired ship girl waved to Shiro. "Nice to meet you. I heard from Zara last night that she's very satisfied with you!"

"...I'm very, very satisfied..."

“I’m very satisfied.” The orange-haired ship girl stretched out her hand to Xiaobai, staring with a pair of bright, watery eyes. “Hello, let me introduce myself. I am the battleship Rome… Hehe, just kidding. I am the light cruiser Pompeii. You can just call me Pompeii.”

"Uh... Rome? Pompeii?" Xiaobai stared blankly at the ship girl in front of him, subconsciously reaching out to shake her hand, but his mind was still a little blank.

"I'm very sorry, Admiral from another region. Pompeii just said she wanted to give you a surprise, so she wouldn't let me come out to greet you. I'm very sorry if this has caused you any trouble." Zara walked up to Xiaobai and bowed slightly to him.

"Uh... there's no trouble at all..." Xiaobai stared blankly at the orange-haired ship girl named Great Pompeii, her eyes filled with some doubt.

Sure enough, as the saying goes, snakes and rats share a nest... Pshaw, as the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. This orange-haired ship girl may seem quite different from Zara in terms of personality, but in terms of beauty, she doesn't seem to be much inferior to Zara.

Speaking of which... this ship girl named Pompeii just mentioned Rome... does she know Rome?

"Pompeii is one of the famous Roman cities. In legends, Pompeii, named after Rome, somewhat admires the battleship ship girl named after Rome, which is why she likes to make the jokes we just heard," Zara explained to Xiaobai, noticing the confusion in his eyes.

"Huh? Pompeii liked Rome?" Xiaobai was taken aback.

"Yes! I am a Roman! Hmm!" The great Pompeii raised his hand, striking a rather cool pose.

Chapter 1303 The friend you mentioned...

“Rome…” Little White looked at Pompeii’s excited face and thought for a moment.

The reason why Xiaobai didn't react just now was because when this ship girl named Pompeii said that she was Rome, it immediately reminded Xiaobai of the Rome who was undergoing hellish training in his own naval base.

did not expect.

Rome, who is at the very bottom of the newbie naval frontline ship girls, actually has her own little fangirls...

It's really unbelievable.

And this little fangirl seems to have quite a background.

Little White looked down at his hand, which had just shaken hands with the great Pompeii.

—As expected, this ship girl named Pompeii is also at max level.

Just thinking about it.

Pompeii's voice once again pulled Little White from his thoughts.

"So you're the admiral Zara was so impressed with last night... Hmm, you're really something. You're small and cute, and you don't get angry even if I tease you a little. You seem quite lovable." Pompeii smiled at Little White. "Hmm, I have a very good impression of you too! Anyway, since we're on the same side, let's work together to protect the village."

"Uh... ok."

Looking at the confident and radiant smile of the great Pompeii, Xiaobai nodded subconsciously.

—This is the impression this ship girl gives to a newbie.

She's really quite enthusiastic and cheerful.

"Pompeii has a lively personality and doesn't pay much attention to details, so sometimes she seems a little indecent. But admirals from other places, please believe me, although Pompeii is very lively, she will only do this to people she likes. She is not an indecent girl at all, please don't misunderstand her."

Zara walked over to Xiaobai, bent down, and whispered an explanation to Xiaobai.

"Oh, I understand."

Xiaobai nodded quickly, but when she looked at the two ship girls in front of her, her gaze soon became somewhat troubled.

Little White raised his hand and waved it at Zara and the great Pompeii.

"Um, anyway, what do you guys mean by calling me the admiral from another region? It feels really weird... How about you change how you address me?"

Zara and Pompeii exchanged a glance.

“A commander from another region, of course, means a commander who is not from this region… Hmm… But since you don’t like it, it’s necessary to change the title. May I ask what title you would like to use?” Zara asked.

“My name is Lu Lin… You can call me that if you don’t mind…”

"Admiral Xiaobai?" Zara suddenly spoke up.

"Huh?" Xiaobai was taken aback.

“Last night, Admiral Xiaobai, the ship girl next to you seemed to call you that. I think it’s a very simple and cute name,” Zara said to Xiaobai, then gave a gentle smile. “How about it, is it okay?”

"...Uh, that's no problem."

"Then I'll just call you Admiral Xiaobai." Zara nodded. "Good morning, Admiral Xiaobai."

"Zara, good morning. Pompeii, good morning." Xiaobai smiled at the two ship girls in front of her. "By the way, did you two get up very early?"

“After all, we have to patrol in the morning and evening shifts,” Pompeii said to Xiaobai, “so we have to get up early.”

"Oh? Oh... So, did you see any of my other ship girls this morning?"

"Does 'Little White Admiral' refer to those three elegant ship girls who look like big stars?"

"Yes."

“They just went over there to buy breakfast,” Zara said, pointing in the direction of the sea.

"Oh...I see." Xiaobai nodded.

So Missouri and the others just went to buy breakfast.

That's definitely a very Missouri-style thing to do.

“It’s more like a small town than a village. Since there are inns, breakfast is also available, but the breakfast stall is at the other end of the village, which takes about half an hour to walk there,” Zara explained to Xiaobai. “They should be back soon.”

"Okay, I understand, thank you!"

"You're welcome." Zara smiled at Xiaobai. "When it comes to village patrols, Pompeii usually goes to the beach in the morning, and I patrol a few more times in the afternoon and evening. If Admiral Xiaobai wants to find us and can't see us at the inn, she can find us at the beach at the appropriate time."

"Okay, I understand." Xiaobai nodded.

"Admiral Xiaobai, it's Pompeii's patrol time during the day, so I'll go back to my room to rest first." Zara bowed slightly to Xiaobai and turned to walk into the inn.

As Xiaobai watched Zara's figure disappear at the inn's entrance, he silently turned his gaze to the great Pompeii.

"Alas?"

When Xiaobai looked at Pompeii, he realized that Pompeii had somehow moved very close to him, staring at him, her face almost touching his.

"Pompeii? Me, is my face strange?" Little White was startled by Pompeii and took a step back.

Pompeii silently looked at Xiaobai's face, blinked, and smiled.

"You're different from the others; you're quite an easygoing admiral."

"...Pompeii, have you met many admirals?"

“The more you travel around the world, the more you see,” Pompeii shrugged. “You also occasionally meet all sorts of people.”

"Oh……"

“Most of the admirals we meet look down on us non-military ship girls. There are very few admirals like you who are willing to set aside their status and communicate with us as equals. Even if there are, they are probably after Zara or me for our beauty and want to add us to their harem,” Pompeii said.

"……"noob.

“That’s why female admirals are better!” Pompey smiled at Xiaobai.

“…Yes, that’s true, that’s true…” Xiaobai nodded.

"Actually, based on my first impression, I also think you're pretty good." Pompeii reached out and patted Xiaobai on the shoulder. "I won't bother you any longer. I'm going to patrol the beach. You can find me there if you need anything."

After saying this, Pompeii withdrew his hand and prepared to turn around.

Little White watched Pompeii's retreating figure, blinked, and then suddenly reached out and grabbed Pompeii's arm with a snap.

"Ah! That's right, Pompeii!" Little White called out.

"Hmm? Admiral Xiaobai, what's wrong?" Pompeii turned around and looked at Xiaobai.

"Um... well, since Pompeii is planning to patrol the coast, I'd also like to investigate the sea conditions. How about I go for a walk with you on the beach?"

"Hmm... I don't mind, but what about the ship girl who went out to buy breakfast?" Pompeii didn't mind Xiaobai holding her arm. She turned around and looked at Xiaobai with her clear eyes.

"I'll use my phone to tell them to come find me on the beach later." Xiaobai pulled out a hand and gave Pompeii a thumbs up. "After all, this time I'm patrolling with you experienced people, which is a rare opportunity. I think it should be much easier than investigating the beach by myself!"

After listening to Xiaobai's words, Pompeii's lips soon curled up noticeably.

Pompeii took a step back, raised the arm that Xiaobai was holding, and hugged Xiaobai's arm.

"Alright, since you're so interested, Admiral Xiaobai, I'll take you on a patrol!" Pompeii said with a smile to Xiaobai. "Admiral Xiaobai, pack your things and come with me."

"I can leave now."

"Isn't there one of your ship girls over there on the steps?"

"...Hindenburg... well, how should I put it, Hindenburg seems a bit deaf to what I'm saying right now. I guess we'll only be able to get her to listen after Missouri comes back... Anyway, she can protect herself, so let her wait for Missouri at the door."

"Oh~" Pompeii looked at Xiaobai with a smile, "So, this is a date for just the two of us?"

"Huh?!" Xiaobai exclaimed in surprise.

"Alright, alright, relax, relax, leave everything to me! I'll guide you properly." Pompeii smiled and pulled Little White toward the path leading to the sea.

"……"noob.

Just as Zara said, this ship girl named Pompeii is indeed bold and passionate...

Little White followed Pompeii out of the inn.

The two walked towards the sea.

The great Pompeii's enthusiasm wasn't just in his actions; throughout the journey, Pompeii never stopped chatting with Little White. At first, the two talked about the village and the sea, but as they talked, the topic unconsciously shifted to food, clothing, shelter, and entertainment.
