Elder brother's garrison

"Little White!" Saratoga hugged Little White, a silly grin on her face. "We've been waiting for you for so long!"

"Sorry Saratoga... Well, it seems like a lot happened just now. Sorry to keep you waiting." Xiaobai smiled, then looked at the ship girls in the living room, "Um, I brought Zara and Pompeii along too. How about we all have dinner together later?"

"Sure," the ship girl in the living room nodded in agreement.

Xiao Bai then turned to look at Pompeii and Zara.

"Zara, Pompeii, let me introduce you. These are the ship girls who live with me. Besides Missouri, Iowa, and Wisconsin, whom you already know, this is Saratoga. The one with the red twin tails sitting with Missouri and the others is Taihou. And those playing games over there are Tirpitz and Baiying."

"Nice to meet you! Hello!" Pompeii and Zara quickly bowed to the ship girls.

"Hello Pompeii, hello Zara!" The four ship girls sitting at the table stood up one by one, walked to Xiaobai's side, and smiled at Zara and Pompeii.

"Dafeng, I'm back." Xiaobai said to Dafeng with a special smile.

"Yes! Welcome home, Admiral!" Taihou nodded with a smile.

Shiro smiled at Taihou, her gaze sweeping around before she spoke with some curiosity, "...Well, speaking of which, I don't think I've seen Hood and Bismarck..."

“I heard from Senior Taiho that Senior Hude went out to attend a tea party today, so he left a little earlier than usual,” Missouri replied with a smile. “He should be back by noon.”

“Oh…I see. So, what about Bismarck…”

"They're stealing aluminum."

"As expected." Xiaobai gave a wry smile, then looked at Zara and Pompeii. "Pompeii, Zara, the Bismarck and Hood I just mentioned are elders in the family. It's fine if you're polite to them, but since they're not here right now, don't feel too much pressure."

"Uh...oh...thank you, Admiral."

“Come on, let me continue to introduce you.” Xiaobai pointed to the Deep Sea Deans dressed in maid outfits lying haphazardly on the floor. “Since you are now considered ship girls of our naval base, I can tell you these secrets. As for these people lying on the floor slacking off… their identities are rather special. They are not ship girls, but Deep Sea Deans.”

"Huh? Is she also the Dean of the Deep Sea?" Pompeii glanced at Deep Sea Taihou subconsciously. "Like Little Red and the others?"

“Yes, in terms of the evolutionary level of deep-sea life forms… maybe only Yamato is a little higher?” Shiro said. “This golden one is Deep-Sea Tirpitz, this green one is Deep-Sea Bismarck, and this red one is Deep-Sea Musashi, and this one… oh dear!”

Just as Xiaobai was about to look for Pachina on the ground, he suddenly felt as if he had tripped and stumbled a couple of steps.

Xiao Bai lowered his head and glanced at his feet.

Pachina was hugging a cushion, curled up quietly on the ground like a doll.

Chapter 1394 Everything has its counterpart

Despite its massive ship equipment, Pachina is actually quite petite among the deep-sea deities.

When she lay on the ground, her delicate, youthful face, combined with the life-sized pillow she was holding, really made her look like a fine doll that had been thrown on the ground.

"……Um?"

Finally, it seemed that the noise of Xiaobai and the others talking disturbed Pachina. Pachina, who was sleeping on the ground, took a deep breath, rubbed her eyes, and slowly sat up from the ground.

Open your eyes.

A pair of sapphire-blue eyes, still slightly drowsy from just waking up, gazed somewhat unsteadily at the people before her.

"……noob?"

"Ah! Sorry, Pachina, did I disturb your sleep?"

Xiao Bai looked at Pachina, quickly put his hands together, smiled shyly at Pachina, and then pointed to Pompeii behind him, "Pompeii, let me introduce you. This is Pachina. She is also the Dean of the Deep Sea. She has been in our naval base for the second longest."

“…?” Pachina followed Xiaobai’s finger and looked at Pompeii behind Xiaobai.

Pompeii and Pachina exchanged a glance.

pachina blinked.

Pompeii's eyes widened.

"Wow! So cute!"

Pompeii's eyes sparkled. She knelt down next to Pachina with a thud, and in a flash, she reached out and hugged Pachina's still-conscious body, rubbing her face like she was petting a cat.

"???" Pachina stared with bewildered eyes.

"This deep-sea maid is so cute! She's like a doll, with long, soft, white hair and a lovely, delicate face, like she stepped right out of an animated film!"

Pompeii suppressed a sound of surprise and vigorously rubbed Pachina's cheeks, looking completely intoxicated.

"Although Xiao Hong is cute too! But this style of maid is also great!"

In front of Xiaobai and the others.

Pompeii seemed completely unconcerned about showing his affection for Pachina, almost as if he were standing there telling Xiaobai, "This girl is my type."

As Pompeii moved, Pachina swayed back and forth, her little head bobbing as he shook her.

Gradually, as he regained consciousness, Pachina's eyes cleared.

Pachina frowned and turned to look at Pompeii.

Just then, Pompeii was also looking down at Pachina.

“I am not your puppet,” Pachina said coldly to Pompeii. “Let go.”

"Huh?" Pompeii was taken aback.

“Can’t you understand human language? I’m asking you to let go.” Pachina stared blankly at Pompeii.

"Huh??? You can talk?"

Pompeii said blankly.

"Since even cats can talk, why can't I?"

Pachina stretched out her slender hand and pressed it against Pompeii's chest, her face full of threat. "Compared to this, you ignorant ship girl, I am the Dean of the Deep Sea, who rules over an entire ocean and reigns supreme at the top of the ocean. Your behavior is violating the dignity of the Deep Sea King. Before I lose my temper, quickly let go of your filthy... oh pfft!"

pachina hadn't finished speaking yet.

next second.

A pair of large breasts then squeezed in, burying Pachina's face in them.

"Wow!! This deep-sea maid can actually talk! She's even cuter now!!"

Pompeii held Pachina even more tightly, his voice rising in pitch, as if red hearts were pounding in his throat.

"She's so beautiful, cute, and eloquent! She's amazing! Admiral! Is she also a Deepsea maid? Can I enjoy the services of this Deepsea maid in the naval base? Can she...can she come to my house as a ship girl's personal maid?!"

"Ugh! You foolish ship girl, what are you playing at—ugh! I am the noble Abyss—ugh! You ant, you cricket, can't—ugh! Only those I choose can—ugh!"

Pachina was held in Pompeii's arms. She seemed to have a lot to say, but Pompeii's broad chest created a powerful encirclement and blockade, preventing Pachina from having a chance to speak.

Pachina was pounding and shoving Pompeii's body with a clanging sound.

But nothing.

Pachina is inherently a deep-sea dean with a certain degree of danger.

Therefore, Xiaobai did not feed Pachina any ship-mounted repair equipment.

In other words, although Pachina was once the ruler of a sea, at this moment, in terms of physical ability alone, her physical strength can only be compared with that of a malnourished, weak girl, and she cannot resist the enthusiastic embrace of the healthy girl Pompeii.

quickly.

With a ding, Pachina gave up struggling and nestled into Pompeii's embrace.

"...It seems you really like pachina, Pompeii..."

Xiao Bai couldn't help but laugh as he watched Pompeii getting along so well with Pachina.

"Yes!" Pompeii nodded happily to Little White, "Not all the Deans of the Deep Sea are bad people, right? That's what you told me, Admiral!"

"Hmm...that makes sense." Xiaobai nodded, touched her lips and thought for a while, "However, you just said you wanted Pachina to be your personal maid, right? I'm sorry about that, but Pachina isn't like Xiaohong, she can only stay at my house, so being a personal maid is not an option for her."

"Ah... I knew it..."

Pompeii looked disappointed, but quickly cheered up again. "But it's okay! Such a cute and pretty maid should be seen by everyone! I'm really looking forward to meeting her at the naval base!"

I heard the sound of Pompeii.

Pachina, who had just calmed down, started struggling again as if it had heard something absurd.

"You! What are you talking about! I am a noble deep-sea warship, you can't expect me to serve someone like you..."

"Pachina! It's called Pachina, right? What a cute name! We should get along well from now on!" Pompeii happily pulled Pachina back into his arms.

Xiao Bai watched the friendly interaction between Pachina and Pompeii with a smile, then looked away.

Ever since Pachina entered the newbie naval base, she has been listless. Even when Xiaobai talks to her occasionally, she usually ignores him. Xiaobai is quite worried that Pachina might become withdrawn.

But now, seeing Pachina so energetic in Pompeii's arms, Xiaobai felt pretty good.

Ok.

I should invite Pompeii to my house more often in the future...

As he thought about it, Xiaobai couldn't help but laugh.

“Speaking of which, Taihou,” Shiro said to Taihou, “Pachina just mentioned that even cats can talk these days… Do you know about Oscar too?”

"The Oscars?"

“Yes.” Xiaobai looked down at Oscar at her feet, bent down, picked him up, and handed him to Daihou. “Oscar actually spoke when he was by the door just now.”

"Noon has arrived!"

Seemingly echoing Xiaobai's words, Oscar, who was being picked up by Xiaobai, spoke to Dafeng.

"See, it spoke up," Xiaobai said. "Dafeng, do you have any clues?"

"Uh..." Daihou looked at Oscar in Shiro's arms and smiled shyly, "Well... about this... I do know a little about it."

"Ah! So you knew all along."

“Hmm.” Da Feng nodded to Xiao Bai. “Oscar seems to have learned that phrase from Mrs. Lie.”

"Huh? Lexington? When did that happen?"

"It was last time, when we went on the expedition to Chapter Six together, Mrs. Lie stayed behind with the abyssal deans from her family, right?" Taiho said. "At that time, Mrs. Lie was tutoring the abyssal ships, teaching them to speak and read."

"Uh... I do know that." Xiaobai turned her head blankly and glanced at the Deep Sea Deans who were lying haphazardly on the floor to the side.

"In short, Oscar seemed to have received a lot of education from what he saw and heard back then... and then, as if he had suddenly become enlightened," Taihou said. "After you left that day, Admiral, Oscar slowly learned to say that phrase."

“…Uh, so it was…it was Lexington who taught it…” Xiaobai looked at the Oscar in his hand with a look of surprise.

"After all, it's a ship-mounted pet... its intelligence is incomparable to that of ordinary cats." Taihou smiled sheepishly, "And the Essex bald eagle can talk... so I accepted it quite quickly..."

“…That makes sense.” Xiaobai nodded, looking at the Oscar in his hand, and couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

"I never expected... that the person who taught Oscar to speak was Lexington..." Little White murmured, looking at Oscar with a helpless expression.

It's absolutely amazing.

Lexington taught Bismarck, Tirpitz, and Musashi from the Deep Sea for so long, but these three Deep Sea Deans still haven't figured it out. On the contrary, Oscar, who was just there to accompany them, was the first to speak.

People haven't learned it yet.

Even cats can do that.

Was Oscar smart, or were those three deep-sea deans stupid...?

This is a difficult problem that is worth pondering.

Xiao Bai put Oscar down and helplessly patted Oscar's head.

"...Well...Oscar, you're amazing..."

Little White told Missouri that Zara and Pompeii wanted to have a meal at his house.

Missouri, being the only person in the family with maxed-out cooking skills, was full of energy and took out an apron. Since the admiral had spoken, she couldn't hold back her skills and went into the kitchen to start preparing.

Time passed slowly amidst a series of clanging sounds coming from the kitchen.

unconsciously.

Noon has arrived.

-

On the plaza of the newbie naval base, a figure clutching his stomach was muttering to himself as he approached Bismarck's house.

"That bastard Lexington, he actually lied to me! Damn it! Damn it!" Guild Leader Er Gou gritted his teeth, jogging along with a humiliated expression. "Bad woman, old woman—hmm, I think this is where Xiao Bai's house is..."

President Er Gou looked up at the tall dormitory building, let out a small sigh of relief, patted his chest, and walked towards the building.

I've just gone up a few floors and entered the stairwell.
