Elder brother's garrison

"……"noob.

Speaking of which, Xiaobai had actually made an appointment with the destroyers to visit them in their dormitories sometime.

Although I usually spend my time with the ship girls in the afternoon... now that the president has worked so hard to finish all her documents, going to the destroyer in the morning seems like a novel experience.

Xiao Bai went to his desk, carefully checked all the documents, and after confirming that there were no problems, he said goodbye to Lexington, temporarily left the office, and walked towards the destroyer's dormitory building.

Xiaobai had previously agreed to find Changchun before going to Fubuki's house.

Although I've never actually been to my home in Changchun, I have a record of it, so I remember it very clearly.

Arriving at the destroyer's dormitory building, I followed the records to find Changchun's home.

Xiao Bai originally wanted to ring the doorbell first, but perhaps because it was too early, the corridor of the destroyer dormitory was quiet all around, giving Xiao Bai a strange feeling that she shouldn't ring the doorbell casually and disturb others.

Xiao Bai looked at the gate of Changchun's house with some worry.

As he was thinking, Xiaobai subconsciously gripped the doorknob.

Turn gently.

There was a click.

The door opened.

—It seems that Changchun doesn't like locking doors.

My eyes can't see the screen clearly, it's a bit uncomfortable...

So it's a bit late today, um.

Chapter 1399 Oolong Tea

Xiao Bai stood at the door of Changchun's house, staring blankly at the door that he had opened a crack in.

Eh?

It's really open?

Xiao Bai was surprised.

Xiao Bai's action of pulling on Changchun's door was not actually intended to open it; it was simply a subconscious action that one would make when faced with a closed door.

It just so happens that Xiaobai encountered Changchun, a ship girl who never locks her own door.

Ok……

Well, although it was quite surprising that the door was suddenly opened, upon closer reflection, it's not so hard to understand why people in Changchun don't lock their doors.

After all, Changchun was always so gentle and kind when she was in the naval base. She treated everyone in the base with the utmost trust and goodwill. So, given her unconditional and boundless trust and affection for those around her, it's understandable that she would leave her front door unlocked.

In short.

Let's put that topic aside for now.

Now that Xiaobai has opened the door to Changchun's house, and since it's early in the morning and Xiaobai doesn't know when Changchun will get up, it's quite awkward for her to wait alone outside in the hallway... Although doing so might offend Changchun, she should still go inside and check on the situation.

I have such a deep friendship with Changchun, Changchun shouldn't be angry...

Think so.

Xiao Bai pulled the door to Changchun's room wider, then slipped inside through the gap.

As Xiaobai stepped into her home in Changchun and closed the door behind her, she saw a large sticker that read "Welcome" on the inside of the door.

The text on the sticker was handwritten with a marker, and at the bottom of the note it read, "Changchun is a home that welcomes anyone, anytime. There are iced drinks in the refrigerator, please feel free to take them." At the end of the text was a small smiley face.

"This was written by... Changchun?"

Xiao Bai touched the smiley face on the note with her finger and was quite surprised.

"Anytime... anyone is welcome... no wonder she doesn't even lock the door, Changchun is really something..."

Since even the homeowners welcomed everyone to visit, Xiaobai's last trace of guilt disappeared as he secretly sneaked into Changchun's house.

Xiao Bai quietly took off her shoes and walked down the corridor to Changchun's living room.

Changchun had taken good care of her home, and the living room was very clean. When Xiaobai entered the living room, there was no one there. All the items were neatly placed in their proper places, and the fruit plate on the coffee table was placed right in the center, with the colorful fruits still having a moist color.

Xiao Bai listened carefully to the sounds coming from the room, but didn't hear anyone moving around.

"Looks like Changchun is still asleep..." Xiaobai murmured to herself, glancing at the time on her phone.

It is 6:29 a.m.

At this time, most of the casual ship girls in the naval base are still dreaming.

Xiaobai put away her phone and sat down on the sofa in the living room.

"Huh? This..." As soon as Xiaobai sat down in the living room, she noticed a white-covered comic book lying under the coffee table in a blind spot that had previously blocked her view from outside the living room.

The comic book looks quite thick.

And it looks kind of familiar.

"Even someone as careful as Changchun can leave things lying around... Speaking of which, does Changchun also like reading comic books? I never saw her showing any interest in these kinds of things when we were in Yuxiu."

Xiao Bai muttered to himself as he bent down to pick up the comic book from under the coffee table and glanced at the cover.

Then Xiaobai was stunned.

Changchun's comic book is actually drawn by Tirpitz as a ship girl?

Judging from the cover, it should be the complete version of the first volume of Yuru Kantai Collection.

I even read the Tirpitz manga myself. Although there wasn't anything inappropriate for children, the characters and plot were drawn in a rather erotic way, and it occasionally included some light-hearted fan service, which made the protagonist, Xiaobai, feel quite embarrassed.

A comic based on oneself looks awkward. Looking at the cover, Xiaobai didn't even want to flip through it.

"When did Changchun start liking to watch this?"

Just as Xiaobai put down the comic book, a click sounded from outside the living room as the door opened.

Light, slow footsteps drifted in from outside the living room.

Xiao Bai glanced at the time on his phone subconsciously; it showed exactly 6:30.

Footsteps were heard outside the living room for a while, followed by the sound of running water from the bathroom for a few seconds.

Then, Changchun, wearing an adorable bunny pajama set, revealing her tender white belly button, and with a look of lingering drowsiness and dazedness, swaggered into the living room, toothbrush in her mouth and water glass in her hand.

Changchun had probably just woken up; she wasn't even walking as steadily as usual. She swayed and leaned forward before plopping down on the sofa.

Changchun was completely unaware that Xiaobai was sitting on the sofa, continuing to brush her teeth absentmindedly.

A few minutes later, Changchun picked up his water glass, took a big gulp, and rinsed his mouth with his cheeks puffed out like a hamster. Then, he habitually looked at the coffee table.

on the coffee table.

A copy of "Kantai Collection" was placed next to the fruit plate, quite eye-catching.

"Well?"

When Changchun saw the neatly arranged swaying ship girls on the coffee table, her dazed eyes suddenly widened. She blinked, picked up a swaying ship girl with a puzzled look, and then glanced at the person beside her.

Changchun seemed puzzled as to where this book came from.

To the left of Changchun is an empty sofa.

To Changchun's right, Xiaobai was right next to him, smiling as he looked at Changchun's face.

"Huh?!" Changchun only then noticed Xiaobai's presence. She shuddered and almost spat out her water. She quickly covered her mouth and swallowed the mouthwash in astonishment. "Gulp...Admiral?!"

Good morning, Changchun.

"Huh? Admiral? You...when did you arrive..."

"Me? I just got here a few minutes ago... Anyway, I came in because you didn't lock the door, sorry..."

As Xiaobai spoke, she stretched out her finger and gently wiped the toothpaste foam off Changchun's lips.

"Anyway, Changchun, just like we agreed yesterday, I've come to find you today to go to Fubuki's house together." Xiaobai put down her hand and smiled at Changchun.

Changchun stared blankly at Xiaobai sitting next to her. For some reason, her gaze unconsciously drifted to the swaying ship girl on the coffee table.

"Eek, eh! This comic book, is... is...?"

"I found this under your coffee table. This book is yours, Changchun, right? I never knew you liked reading this."

"Huh? Huh... Ee ee ee ee—!"

Changchun didn't even have time to talk to Xiaobai. She just screamed and pounced on the coffee table, grabbed the comic book on it, turned around and ran out of the living room.

"Huh? Changchun? Where are you going..."

"Admiral, I'm going back to my room to get ready! Um, please feel free to rest in the living room for a while, Admiral! I'll be right back!!"

Changchun's shameful shouts drifted in from outside the living room.

"Uh..." Xiaobai sat alone on the sofa, looking at the living room door with a strange expression. "Okay... then."

It seems.

Changchun seems... quite ashamed of herself for reading Kantai Collection manga?

Ok……

Oh right, no wonder I had no idea Changchun had read comics when I was in Yuxiu...

So Changchun is the type who feels embarrassed if others find out he reads comics.

Xiao Bai scratched his head.

Some of them laughed in understanding.

What a strange quirk!

Quite cute.

Xiao Bai leaned back on the sofa and breathed a sigh of relief.

When Xiaobai first entered the home in Changchun, she was a little reserved because she hadn't obtained permission from the homeowner.

Now everyone in Changchun says they can rest whenever they want, and Xiaobai finally feels much more relaxed.

People get thirsty when they relax.

"Speaking of which, Changchun seemed to have mentioned over there that there were iced drinks in the fridge, and we could take as many as we wanted..." Xiaobai rubbed his throat, got up, and walked towards the fridge. "I just don't quite understand what 'take carefully' means..."

Xiaobai opened the refrigerator.

A blast of icy air hit me.

The top shelf of the refrigerator was densely packed with transparent glass bottles filled with liquids of various colors. The bottles were covered with writing that Xiaobai couldn't understand. The bottles stood together, and for some reason, they gave off a strange and solemn atmosphere.

Then, a very strong smell of alcohol hit me.

"Ugh!" Xiaobai frowned and quickly covered her nose. "The smell of alcohol is so strong..."

Xiao Bai covered her mouth, staring at the suspicious glass bottles in front of her.

"These iced drinks look really ominous... Could they be high-proof liquor...?" Xiaobai's gaze shifted to the bottom of the glass bottles, and soon he saw a bunch of small, square bottles. This time, the labels were in words Xiaobai could understand. "Uh... these are... Erguotou? The iced drinks people in Changchun are talking about... could this be what they mean by these...?"

Xiao Bai helplessly lowered her gaze again.

Suddenly his eyes lit up.

On the bottom shelf of the refrigerator, there were some drinks that looked like they could be consumed by children.

There was juice, cola, milk, and even a teapot and teacups labeled "Oolong Tea" in the corner.

"Looks like these are just normal iced drinks... probably for Fubuki and the others who come over to play... So that's what Changchun meant by 'handle with care'..." Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the teapot and teacups labeled "Oolong Tea." "Is it because they were kept with strong liquor...? They all seem to have absorbed the taste of alcohol..."

"Seriously... I need to remind Changchun later, what if the destroyers mix up the alcohol and drinks and accidentally drink it..."

Xiao Bai muttered to himself as he stood in front of the refrigerator, took a cup of oolong tea, tilted his head back, and gulped it down.

Chapter 1400 Taking the Opportunity to Rise to Power

"Boom!"

Clutching the comic book in her arms, Changchun stumbled and ran breathlessly back to her room, slamming the door shut behind her.

Back to the room.

Changchun leaned against the door, then slid down to the ground and stared blankly ahead.

My heart was pounding.
