Elder brother's garrison

The blue-haired girl who came out of the kitchen gave Xiaobai a sweet smile, then bowed deeply and gave Xiaobai a grand salute.

"Admiral, it's been a long time!"

"Huh? It's Eugen?" Xiaobai looked at Eugen coming out of the kitchen and put her hands together in surprise. "What a coincidence, you're here to play today too?"

written request for leave

Another card game...

My mom once told me that writing novels should be done with a smile. I didn't enjoy writing today, so I'm choosing to take a break for the day.

Sorry.

However, the advantage of taking a day off is that tomorrow's update should be earlier. Although I'm not sure when it will be updated, at least I shouldn't have to wait until the middle of the night and keep my followers up at night.

I'm very sorry.

Chapter 1762 Eugen and the Enterprise

"Yes. I just got back from an expedition and didn't have much to do, so I came here to help out." Prince Eugen responded to Xiaobai, clutching her apron with her little hands and giving Xiaobai a shy smile.

"That's right."

Xiao Bai nodded, looking at the well-behaved Prince Eugen, and smiled knowingly.

Prinz Eugen is one of the few ship girls in the newbie naval base who can't stay idle. It's her personality; she's naturally kind-hearted. The meager workload assigned to ship girls by the newbie naval base is far from enough to satisfy Prinz Eugen's helpful nature. So, Prinz Eugen often goes to the admiral's office to take on long-distance expedition assignments, ostensibly to serve the masses.

Recently, Princess Eugen has been either on an expedition or on her way to one, so it's quite difficult to spot her at the naval base.

"Eugen, it's good to focus on your work, but you also need to pay attention to your rest." Little White looked at the obedient Prince Eugen and, recalling Lexington's advice to rest more, smiled at Prince Eugen as well. "Oh, right, Eugen, you should rest well these few days and remember not to take on any expedition missions for the time being."

"What's wrong, Admiral?" Upon hearing Xiaobai's words, a hint of doubt flashed in Prince Eugen's large eyes.

"The naval base has a big mission coming up soon, and we might need Eugen's help. If you take on another mission and run off, it'll be quite a hassle to call you back," Xiaobai joked.

"Ah~ I see!" Prince Eugen clapped his hands and gave Xiaobai a bright smile. "Yes, I understand! I won't take on any missions these days. I'll stay home obediently and wait for the Admiral's orders."

"Come visit here often when you have time!"

"Okay... Oh, right... Admiral, please wait a moment!" Prince Eugen nodded and said, then suddenly seemed to remember something and quickly turned and ran into the kitchen. After a short while, he carefully walked out of the kitchen carrying a large baking tray in both hands.

The sweet aroma of butter immediately spread from the kitchen into the hallway.

The baking tray in Prince Eugen's hand was covered with a layer of snow-white paper, on which freshly baked cookies and biscuits of various sizes were arranged.

"Admiral, would you like to try one? It's freshly baked." Prince Eugen walked up to Xiaobai with a baking tray and brought the delicate cookies from the tray closer.

"Eugen, you were making desserts in the kitchen before?" Xiaobai looked at Eugen in surprise, then reached out, picked up a warm cookie, and put it in her mouth, showing a satisfied expression. "Hmm, I didn't expect you to be able to make this kind of thing, Eugen. It's crispy and tastes really good."

"The recipe was given to me by Sister Hood. It's thanks to Sister Hood's excellent teaching," Prince Eugen said with an embarrassed smile.

"Huh? Hood?"

“Well, Sister Hood said she was going to make some afternoon tea snacks for everyone. Maybe it's because of the recent rainy days, but her back started hurting after she finished preparing the ingredients, and she wanted to go back to her room to lie down for a while. So I asked Sister Hood if I could help, and she just gave me the cookie recipe to try making some for everyone.” Prince Eugen patted his chest reassuringly, held up the baking tray in one hand, and stuck his tongue out at Little White. “Looks like I didn't let Sister Hood down.”

“As expected of Eugen… Speaking of which, before I became admiral, when Bismarck was away, Eugen, you were often in charge of cooking for Tirpitz, weren’t you?”

"Ah."

"No wonder, Eugen, your cooking skills are excellent."

"Thank you for the compliment, Admiral."

Little White and Prince Eugen walked into the living room from the corridor, chatting and laughing.

Just as Xiaobai entered the living room and approached the back of the three internet addicts, Saratoga, who was passionately arguing with Tirpitz, suddenly shuddered. A tuft of long golden hair in her golden hair stood up like a living thing, folded in the middle, and pointed at Xiaobai who had walked in.

"My little white radar is reacting! Little White is nearby!" Saratoga gripped the controller, turned around abruptly, and looked at Little White as it walked into the living room.

"Good morning, Saratoga." Little White waved to Saratoga.

Saratoga's eyes lit up, and he quickly slammed the handle to the ground, then rolled off the ground and got up.

"Little Bai, welcome back..."

"Admiral! You're back!" But before Saratoga could even gather his emotions and finish speaking, another golden figure sped up and rushed past Saratoga to Little White. In the blink of an eye, it pounced on Little White, like a golden retriever welcoming its owner home, and hugged Little White tightly.

Saratoga stood frozen in place.

Saratoga was dispossessed.

It is a business.

"Admiral! Where have you been these past few days?! I missed you so much!" Enterprise hugged Shiro tightly, rubbing her face against him repeatedly, her words filled with grievance. Her flowing blonde hair swayed back and forth with her movements. "I was thinking of going out to find you, Admiral, but Yorktown said I would only cause trouble and wouldn't let me go out..."

"Ah...didn't anyone else tell Enterprise? I just went to Kyoto..." Shiro enjoyed the feeling of Enterprise's soft cheek rubbing against his own, and gently patted Enterprise's shoulder with his palm. "It's okay, see, I'm back now. Oh right, Eugen baked some cookies for you guys, want to try some?"

"Anything yummy? I want some!" Enterprise's eyes lit up at the mention of snacks. She happily let go of Little White and skipped over to Prinz Eugen behind Little White. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at the cookies on the baking tray and asked excitedly, "Eugen! May I have one?"

"These were originally baked for you all... Miss Enterprise can eat as many as she wants." Princess Eugen held up the baking tray and smiled sweetly.

"Yay!" the company exclaimed, raising both hands in a cheerful gesture.

Xiaobai smiled as she watched Enterprise and Prinz Eugen interact intimately, then turned her gaze to the remaining two ship girls.

After Saratoga was dispossessed by the company and lost his first chance to greet Xiaobai, he stood there like a wooden stake, looking at Xiaobai with a pitiful expression.

"Saratoga, I'm back." Little White walked up to Saratoga, smiling and extending his palm towards her.

“…Ugh…Ugh…” Saratoga pitifully raised her hand, lowered her head, and stubbornly placed her palm on Whitey’s palm. “Whitey…Welcome back…”

Having missed the first chance to greet Xiaobai, Saratoga now feels like an insignificant salted fish.

Saratoga is a ship girl whose emotions can easily become excited or depressed over trivial matters.

Little White took Saratoga's outstretched hand, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly, showing Saratoga a comfortable expression.

"Yeah, it really feels like coming home when I'm saying that to Saratoga," Xiaobai joked to Saratoga.

"Huh?" Saratoga, who was feeling down, was startled by Xiaobai's words and looked up at him. "Eh?"

"A sin."

Tirpitz's lament came from behind Saratoga.

"Tirpitz, I'm back." Little White took a step to the side and saw Tirpitz reclining behind Saratoga reading a comic book. He smiled and greeted Tirpitz.

“Welcome home. Shall we eat first, or take a shower, or perhaps… enjoy Saratoga first?” Tirpitz yawned, flipping through a few pages of his comic book as he spoke to Little White.

"Uh... eating and bathing? What do you mean?"

"This is our anime/manga slang, it's normal that you don't understand it."

"Hmm...can you explain?" Xiaobai sat down in front of Tirpitz, looking at Tirpitz like a curious child.

“…Sorry, I was wrong. Just pretend I didn’t say anything.” Tirpitz couldn’t stand Xiaobai’s innocent gaze, so she covered her head and said to Xiaobai, “For my safety, please don’t repeat what I just said to my sister…Welcome back.”

"Ah."

Seeing that Little White nodded, Tirpitz breathed a sigh of relief, picked up a comic book to cover his face, and lay down on the floor to play dead.

Xiao Bai glanced back at Saratoga and noticed that after their conversation, Saratoga's face was flushed, her eyes were glazed, and she seemed absent-minded and lost in thought. She didn't respond when Xiao Bai called her.

The woman clung to Prince Eugen, cupping her face and opening her mouth, letting him stuff cookie after cookie into her mouth.

"Ah—mmmmmmmmmmm."

"Miss Enterprise, is it delicious?"

"Mmmmmmm!"

“Great, then… if you don’t mind, how about another one?” Prince Eugen said, picking up a second cookie.

"Okay! Ah————"

Prince Eugen and the corporation are deeply in love.

In Xiaobai's memory, before she came to the naval base, Princess Eugen and Enterprise seemed to have no interaction in their lives. She really didn't know when their relationship had become so good.

—But that makes sense.

Prinz Eugen and Enterprise are both bright, cheerful, and easy-going ship girls. Although they didn't have much interaction before, now that they are connected by the Bismarck family, they interact more often and their relationship has become closer, which is not surprising for them.

Chapter 1763 is here? Hand over the code.

Xiaobai originally wanted to chat more with Enterprise Saratoga and Tirpitz, but seeing that the three of them quickly entered a state where they were not comfortable talking to him after just a few words, Xiaobai thought about it and decided to give up the idea.

The three Iowa-class ship girls are currently engaged in a game of Ludo at the dining table in the center of the living room. New Jersey seems to have a particular fondness for sofas; she is fast asleep on a sofa not far away. Oscar, the Bismarck family's black cat, is sitting upright next to New Jersey's head. This excellent black cat is watching the three ship girls playing chess at the dining table with its head held high, and its thin tail is occasionally swaying gently against New Jersey's face.

Xiaobai walked to the sofa, bent down and picked Oscar up from beside New Jersey's head.

"Meow."

Oscar didn't resist Little White's hands. Its pointed ears twitched, and then its shiny black body turned its head and barked at Little White.

Little White doesn't understand cat language.

But it's generally clear that this is a statement similar to "Welcome home".

Ugh.

This might be the huge gap between ship-equipped pets and real pets. Oscar, as a ship-equipped pet, is far more intelligent than ordinary pets. At least, Xiaobai has seen countless cats, but Oscar is the first cat he has ever seen that actually greets him.

Think of this.

Xiao Bai couldn't help but stroke Oscar's fur a couple more times, clearly enjoying it.

"Why is Oscar back to just meowing again?" Little White said to Oscar with a smile as she stroked his head. "When I came back before, Oscar, you could clearly say 'it's noon'... Did you forget it after so long?"

"..." Oscar stared at Little White with his big eyes, without saying a word, but silently flicked his big tail.

"Hmm...maybe he really forgot...it's a bit of a pity, but it's also good...it's a bit scary to encounter a cat suddenly speaking human language like that..." Xiaobai chuckled twice while holding Oscar, not paying any more attention to it, and walked towards the three Iowa ship girls at the dining table, "Let's go see Missouri and the others, Oscar."

"Meow."

The dinner table.

The game of Ludo between the three Iowa ship girls had become quite intense. Just as Xiaobai arrived at the edge of the dining table, Wisconsin was standing with one foot on her chair, holding the dice high in the other hand, looking as if she was about to concentrate her chakra on the dice and roll it to get the desired number.

"Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, Laozi, please show your power! Give me a six! This is my chance!" Wisconsin chanted, then focused intently as he gently tossed the dice upwards.

The dice were tossed into the air, then spun around and landed on the dining table with a thud. They spun around several times before finally settling on the side with the number 1.

The side of the die that represents the number 1 is painted a vibrant, almost dripping red.

It's very bright.

"No—" Wisconsin wailed, clutching her head in frustration. "Why, why is it another one?! No!! Why did I roll the numbers so sincerely, yet still fail to get the ones I wanted?! This garbage game must be targeting me! Don't people say that prayers and superstitions work for this?! I'm starting to doubt if I'm an American ship or an African ship, you bastard!"

Wisconsin headbutted the table.

"Let's put aside the question of whether metaphysics is actually useful..." Sitting next to Wisconsin, Iowa chuckled as he picked up the dice and said to Wisconsin, "Wisconsin, as you just said, we're an American ship, so I think... we shouldn't be within the business scope of that Lao Tzu you mentioned."

"What? We're not within his jurisdiction?" Wisconsin exclaimed in shock, turning to Iowa. "Then who's in charge of us?"

"Hmm... the all-powerful Lord?" Iowa asked, tapping his chin. "It's a perfect match for your expertise."

“Okay! Then next time, should I change my prayer to Almighty Lord, please bless me so that my betting goes well…” Wisconsin nodded seriously. She clearly took Iowa’s words seriously, and at this moment she was really thinking about her next prayer.

"..."

Xiao Bai, who was eavesdropping nearby, gave a helpless smile.

"Wisconsin... if you pray for this, you might get punished, you know? Sister Iowa is really something, actually teasing Wisconsin with such words?"

Missouri smiled and shook her head, offering a reminder to the two sisters in front of her.

"I was just joking, don't take it seriously." Iowa blinked, stuck out her tongue, and smiled as she rolled up her wide sleeves, revealing her slender wrist. She gently pressed the dice between her fingertips onto the table, then flicked it. "After all, compared to metaphysics, the most fun thing about dice is definitely throwing them yourself in one go, isn't it?"

The dice tumbled and spun on the table, finally coming to a stop as their momentum weakened, revealing the six on one side.

"One, two, three, four, five, six." Iowa moved her piece forward six spaces, pushing aside Wisconsin's piece. Wisconsin then picked up the piece that had been pushed aside and gave Iowa a bright smile. "My lovely little sister, I'll take Wisconsin's airplane piece."

"Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!!" Wisconsin's blood pressure skyrocketed. "Why do you always manage to throw a six?!"

"Well... maybe it was just good luck?"

"This is too much luck! What kind of luck is this?!" Wisconsin protested, slamming her fist on the table and yelling at Missouri, "Missouri! Look at Iowa! Why is it that every time we roll the dice we get one, two, three, but she gets six six six?!"

"Maybe luck is just that unpredictable sometimes?"

"Don't you mind that you can only throw out one, two, or three points each time?!"

"Missouri is actually... alright." Missouri laughed heartily.

"Is there even a normal person left on this chessboard...?" Faced with the unyielding Missouri, Wisconsin could only lower her head.

"Admiral, you're back?" Missouri had just picked up her dice when she suddenly noticed Little White hugging Oscar and leaning towards her. She smiled and waved to Little White. "Admiral, Missouri is playing chess with Sister Iowa and Wisconsin. Would you like to come over and sit down and watch?"
