Elder brother's garrison

The blue and white figure crashed straight onto the floor tiles in front of Little White.

It was a girl.

"Ouch!! All I did was perform a solo run with four hidden gems on the mountain! Is this how you treat your customers?!"

The girl rubbed her bottom, sat up from the ground, and glared angrily at the mahjong parlor behind her.

"Get lost! You're not welcome in our mahjong parlor!"

Inside the mahjong parlor, a waiter shouted and then slammed the door shut.

"Hehehe! You stingy bastard!!" The blue and white figure stood up, patted her butt, and made a face at the entrance of the mahjong parlor, her long hair flying in the air. "I, Da Jing, wish your mahjong parlor a speedy closure today!"

Xiao Bai looked at the long-haired girl in front of him and was suddenly stunned after the girl finished speaking.

Ok?

Oi?

Chapter 1332 Big Well (4000 words)

When Xiaobai heard the name "Dajing," his eyebrows immediately twitched, and he suddenly became alert.

This woman... her name is Ooi...

Oi...

Ok……

Xiao Bai's gaze silently swept over the girl who was venting her anger at the entrance of the mahjong parlor.

The girl named Oi was dressed in a rather eye-catching outfit.

She wore a beautiful white and blue sailor uniform.

The sailor uniforms were adorned with cherry blossom-colored embellishments one after another.

Her long legs were encased in white boots and white stockings, and a pink, semi-transparent scarf was neatly wrapped around the girl's collar, leaving two long trails of pink silk behind her.

At first glance.

Ms. Ooi's outfit, while quite nice, gives off an over-the-top vibe, like the protagonist of some weird magical girl/male protagonist anime.

I've seen this far.

Xiao Bai's gaze sharpened.

The name Ooi... to be honest, it sounds kind of familiar...

Just as Xiaobai was observing Dajing, the girl named Dajing finally vented her anger at the entrance of the mahjong parlor. She angrily patted her skirt twice and finally looked away.

Da Jing turned his head, intending to walk away angrily, but his eyes subconsciously glanced at Xiao Bai and the others beside him.

Ooi's gaze first swept over the two ship girls behind Shiro, and when her eyes met Iowa and Pompeii's bodies, her expression flickered subtly.

Subsequently.

Daiki glanced thoughtfully at Xiaobai, who was standing in the middle.

Just then, Xiaobai was watching Dajing, and Dajing and Xiaobai made eye contact with each other through the large sunglasses on their faces.

A look of amazement flashed across Daijing's eyes.

A few seconds later, Ooi pretended not to care and looked away.

then.

Dai-i secretly glanced at Xiao-bai.

I took another sneaky peek.

He glanced at it again, still wanting more.

And then.

Ooi coughed lightly, crossed his arms, and looked at the little white dog between Iowa and Pompeii with a rather peculiar expression, before speaking somewhat awkwardly.

"Ahem, are you from out of town?"

Ooi then started chatting with Xiaobai and the others.

Xiao Bai, Iowa, and Pompeii remained silent.

They blinked and silently watched Da Jing, who had suddenly become very familiar with them and started talking to them.

"Ahem, I can tell just by looking at your expressions, you really are from out of town, right?"

Da Jing seemed to be a very talkative girl. Although Xiao Bai and the others didn't speak immediately, it didn't dampen her enthusiasm at all. "You all look at the mahjong parlor with such interesting expressions. Other out-of-towners were also very surprised by this when they first came to our Fish City."

"..."

"...Uh, well, I was just kicked out, sorry about that... But please don't get the wrong idea, I wasn't kicked out for cheating! The reason I was kicked out was because I originally wanted to go to the mahjong parlor to practice, but I accidentally got too good and won several big hands before those people kicked me out!"

Dai-i waved his hand and explained to Xiao-bai and the others, "So the fault isn't mine, it's all their fault! It's them! I'm a very principled person, I would never shatter into pieces, please don't misunderstand!"

"..."

"But speaking of which... well... I feel I need to introduce myself, cough cough (clears throat), um, you traveler from afar, I am..."

"Kantai Collection girl Ooi?"

Xiao Bai, who had been silently staring at the well, finally spoke.

"I'm vomiting, cough cough cough cough cough..."

Just as Daijing was about to reveal his name, Xiaobai interrupted him, leaving him stunned and unable to catch his breath. He coughed several times, covering his mouth in a somewhat disheveled manner, "Why do you know... cough cough cough..."

"Ah... it really is the ship girl Ooi..." Xiaobai sighed, speaking with a strange mix of emotions.

"You...how did you know..."

"Ooi, isn't Kitakami with you now?" Shiro covered her mouth, swaying her body curiously from side to side, glancing at the street behind Ooi as if searching for something. "Weren't you two very close at the naval base? Why aren't you going out together here?"

Xiao Bai's tone.

It felt as relaxed and natural as greeting a friend you've known for years.

This level of overconfidence is even more terrifying than that of Da Jing, who just struck up a conversation.

However, for Oi...

Horror was indeed what Xiaobai said.

After Xiaobai finished speaking.

Daijing stared so wide that her eyes were practically round.

"Huh? You... how do you know about going north..."

Da Jing, who had been chattering away nonstop, suddenly stopped talking, staring at Xiao Bai with a face full of shocked questions.

"Ah...that's the problem...you're right, I should introduce myself too."

Xiaobai lowered his hand, first bowed slightly to Ooi, then raised his head and looked at Ooi with an air of matter-of-fact, "Hello, I am your admiral."

"Ah? What?"

"Ooi, you're a newbie ship girl from the naval base, right?"

"??"

"See, I knew it."

"?????"

Dai-i stared blankly at the little white thing in front of him.

The shock on his face was so intense it could almost be printed out in words.

"Hello, Ooi. To put it simply... I'm the second admiral of the newbie naval base." Shiro extended his hand to Ooi, a smile playing on his lips, and said, "...What a coincidence! I never expected to see you here."

"Eh? Admiral?" Ooi stared blankly at the little white guy in front of him.

"Yes."

"Huh?? But, but..."

"My name is Lu Lin. Lu Yun is my older brother. I am here to take over as the admiral of the rookie garrison."

"..." Ooi remained silent.

Da Jing looked at Xiao Bai's serene face.

He looked down at Xiaobai's outstretched hand.

Xiao Bai's hands were slender and fair, her nails were crystal clear and shiny, and her fingertips had a healthy pinkish hue.

Dajing subconsciously shook hands with Xiaobai and shook them up and down.

"Welcome back to the newbie garrison!" Xiaobai said with a smile.

"Huh?!" Ooi looked up.

"Huh??!" Ooi stood up.

"Huh?!?!"

Ooi's surprised voice echoed at the entrance of the mahjong parlor.

—In truth, it is quite a coincidence.

I met the ship girl Ooi at the entrance of this mahjong parlor in Fish City.

She really was one of the ship girls who was on vacation at the naval base.

Back then, after losing its first admiral, the new naval base fell into a rather stagnant and declining period. The loss of an admiral was already a fatal blow to the ship girls, and the emotional trauma required rest and rehabilitation. However, living in the stagnant environment of the new naval base at that time was too stressful for the ship girls.

Therefore.

Under certain circumstances, most of the ship girls in the naval base chose to temporarily leave this place that evoked painful memories and go to human society to recuperate.

What happened next...

It was Pacific Governor Mu Yu who, through some unknown method, persuaded Bai's parents to let Xiao Bai take over his brother's responsibilities and inherit the world's number one naval base.

Those ship girls who left the naval base eventually returned from human society one after another after learning that Xiaobai had taken up the position. A few others who were too busy to leave were also visited by Xiaobai and taken back to their hometown from human society.

But having said that.

There are quite a few ship girls in the newbie naval base.

The sheer number of ship girls who left the naval base back then nearly emptied out half of the newbie naval base. Among so many ship girls, there were bound to be some special cases, so much so that even now, there are still some ship girls who left the newbie naval base who have not returned.

When managing the ship girl roster, Lexington showed Shiro the list of ship girls who had not yet returned.

The ship girl, Ooi, happened to be on that list.

This is why Xiaobai recognized Dajing just now, while Dajing knew nothing about Xiaobai.

It truly is fate, a wonderful thing.

Ooi is a light cruiser ship girl currently serving in a new naval base.

She also has a light cruiser ship girl companion in the naval base who is like a sister to her, named Kitakami.

Kitakami and Ooi had a very good relationship. Back when they worked at the naval base, they always lived together, ate together, and traveled together. Whether they were going for a walk, taking a break, or being assigned to a critical mission, they were always inseparable, loving and devoted to each other, a model of marital harmony where one would charge into battle while the other would cover the rear—a sight that made others envious.

That's right.

Even when they took leave to leave the naval base, the two ship girls, Ooi and Kitakami, were together back then.

-

A few minutes later.

Having somewhat accepted reality, Dajing sat at the entrance of the mahjong parlor for a while to catch his breath and returned to normal.

"Dajing, water." Xiaobai handed Dajing a bottle of mineral water.

"Oh... thank you, Admiral...." Ooi was clearly still a little uncomfortable with Shiro's address. She awkwardly accepted the water bottle Shiro offered with both hands, tilted her head back, and gulped down two mouthfuls. "Ugh..."

Da Jing breathed a sigh of relief, then cautiously turned his gaze to Xiao Bai.

"Uh... By the way, are you really my admiral?" Ooi asked nervously.

"Well... of course." Xiaobai took out his wallet and phone. "As for proving my identity, I do have an admiral's badge. If you're still worried, I can call Lexington for you. Do you want to make the call?"

"Ah? Oh, no need, no need..." Ooi quickly waved his hand, "The fact that you can say something like that means you must be my new admiral. I didn't mean to doubt you just now, but, but... it was all so sudden..."
