Elder brother's garrison

"Stop talking, stop talking... I understand, I understand..." Xiaobai quickly raised her hand, blushing as she said to Elizabeth, "I think I understand why I'm so popular among you..."

Elizabeth lowered her hands with a smile.

"Then next time an enemy appears on the sea and ship girls are needed to go to war, I hope Admiral Lu Lin will give me your guidance."

"Hmm... I will..." Xiaobai scratched his cheek and gave Elizabeth a wry smile.

next time……

Next time...

Who knows when the next expedition will be?

Xiao Bai sighed inwardly.

After I made a deal with Deepsea Zuikaku, the sea surface returned to calm yesterday, just as Deepsea Zuikaku had said. The deep-sea army that used to appear every day has completely disappeared. Now, although there is thick fog over that area, only a few lone deep-sea ships occasionally appear, which are easily dealt with by the patrolling Haoding Garrison ship girls.

If we really have to wait for the next opportunity to go on a mission... Xiaobai estimates it will take at least ten days to half a month.

Of course.

Because this news involved her deal with Dean Shenhai, she really couldn't tell Elizabeth directly. Faced with Elizabeth's words, she could only smile and reply, "Next time, next time, definitely."

"Miss Elizabeth~" Just then, a clear voice called out, and Akagi came over from the wash area while rubbing her fair arms. "Is the fish I asked you to prepare ready? The fire in the steamer is already lit, so you can start preparing it and putting it in the pot."

"Akagi-senpai!" Elizabeth turned around immediately upon hearing Akagi's voice, grabbed the fish from the rock, and waved to Akagi. "It's all taken care of!"

Akagi stepped forward, took the fish Elizabeth handed her, examined it for a few moments, and then smiled at Elizabeth with satisfaction.

"Yes, it's cleaned very well. Miss Elizabeth has such skillful hands."

“You flatter me, Akagi-senpai… Um… By the way, Akagi-senpai, since we will be comrades-in-arms in a deeper sense from now on, please don’t use such a formal address as Miss Elizabeth…” Elizabeth said to Akagi with a smile, “If you don’t mind, Akagi-senpai can call me by my name… or call me sister.”

“What a lovely girl.” Akagi was amused by Elizabeth’s words.

"Can I call Akagi-senpai 'older sister'?"

"absolutely okay."

"Sister Akagi!"

"Oh! My dear sister!" Akagi said with a smile, taking Elizabeth's arm. "We have a long road ahead of us, so I'll have to guide you a lot then. Come on, let me show you around over there and introduce you to the other older sisters."

"Thank you, Sister Akagi!"

"It was nothing..."

Elizabeth left with Akagi by her side.

As Xiaobai watched Elizabeth and Akagi's swaying backs, he was momentarily speechless for some reason.

Chapter 1913 Little White is Bragging

Looking at Akagi and Elizabeth's intimate backs, like sisters, Shiro had a strange feeling that "Elizabeth didn't just temporarily become my ship girl, but officially joined the newbie naval base."

But very quickly.

The moment the thought appeared in Xiaobai's mind, he dismissed it.

—Elizabeth is the secretary ship of Admiral Haoding and a core talent of his Haoding Naval Base. Her extended stay here is simply for the convenience of future business dealings. They have a really good relationship, but how could she possibly join his naval base...

Thinking of this, Xiao Bai stretched and yawned.

With Elizabeth's careful explanation, Xiaobai's sense of pressure vanished as she looked at the ship girls of Haoding Naval Base by the roadside.

I'm actually quite popular with the ship girls...

Xiaobai raised her hand and waved to the ship girls by the roadside, giving a slightly embarrassed smile.

Today's breakfast was sea fish that Elizabeth brought from the sea. Akagi said that it was a kind of precious seafood called East Star Grouper. It tasted delicious and was rare. In human society, it was truly more valuable than gold. However, there seemed to be a lot of it in the eighth chapter's sea area. In terms of population size, it was the most common sea fish that could be caught anywhere.

have to say.

Chapter 1914 The sea area is truly rich in resources.

"Admiral Lu Lin." At the dinner table, Elizabeth moved her dinner next to Xiao Bai and called out to the child carefully.

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Little White, who was enjoying the delicious fish, stopped eating and looked at Elizabeth curiously. "Isn't the fish tasty?"

“Sister Akagi’s cooking skills are unparalleled; the fish is truly delicious.” Elizabeth shook her head and continued to say to Xiaobai, “I just remembered something I wanted to tell Admiral Lu Lin.”

"What is it?"

“I’ve calculated the time; our naval base’s supply team should be back around noon the day after tomorrow,” Elizabeth said to Little White.

"That's good news, then you'll be back to your fighting strength, right?" Xiaobai replied.

"Um... there were no Abyssal Fleet ships on the sea yesterday... and the seas seem quite calm today as well," Elizabeth said to Little White. "Perhaps after this period of fighting, the Abyssal Commander's side has shown signs of fatigue... This is just my personal guess, but I suspect the seas will remain calm for quite some time... Admiral Lu Lin, now that our naval base's resource supply team has returned, they can help alleviate some of the pressure on the new naval base. Admiral Lu Lin, you can take this opportunity to start preparing the new naval base's resource supply team as well."

"Ah... Miss Elizabeth, you're reminding me to plan ahead, aren't you?" Xiaobai smiled slightly at Elizabeth.

"...Maybe I was just being nosy..." Elizabeth put down her chopsticks and said somewhat reservedly.

"No, it's a good suggestion." Xiaobai nodded, saying thoughtfully, "After all... even a newbie naval base can't possibly have inexhaustible resources..."

Elizabeth's words reminded Xiaobai.

The endurance demonstrated by the newbie naval base in Chapter 8 far surpasses that of ordinary ship girls. Now, thanks to the teleportation capabilities of the Super Yamato, the newbie naval base theoretically possesses near-infinite endurance, and should no longer need resource supply teams or resource transportation channels. However, ultimately… under the watchful eyes of the ship girls of the Haoding Naval Base, the ship girls of the newbie naval base can't truly maintain "infinite endurance." For now, the newbie naval base can rely on the excuse that its ship girls belong to Nanfu and have a built-in super-long standby buff, but as time goes on, if the ship girls of the newbie naval base continue to perform exceptionally well, that would be a bit alarming…

Ugh.

...I have to put on an act, after all.

"Is Admiral Lu Lin also organizing a resource supply team?" Elizabeth asked quickly upon hearing Xiaobai's words.

"Hmm? Hmm... Well..." Xiaobai hesitated for a moment, then touched his chin, a sudden inspiration struck him, he put down his chopsticks and smiled slightly at Elizabeth, his expression becoming serious, "It's like this, actually... there's something I've been keeping from you, Miss Elizabeth, for a long time... it wasn't convenient to tell you before, but now that you all obey me, I have to be a little more open with you."

"Huh? What is it..." Elizabeth was taken aback, then inexplicably became nervous.

Judging from Admiral Lu Lin's expression, she's unusually serious; it seems like she has something important to tell me...

Admiral Lu Lin has so many secrets, any one of which could be considered a trump card. Which one is she going to tell me with such a serious expression?

What was the origin of that laser cannon on the beach?

Where is Miss Pachina hiding?

What's the reason for the ship girls' super long standby time?

Elizabeth quickly sat up straight, puffed out her chest and raised her head, adopting a humble and receptive posture.

"It's nothing serious. Actually, back when we arrived at Chapter Eight, I had already organized a resource supply team." Xiao Bai smiled slightly at Elizabeth's serious expression and said to her.

"Huh?" Elizabeth was taken aback.

"It was probably the second or third day after I arrived at Chapter 8. I took some time to call the naval base and asked the ship girls there to arrange a resource supply team to come over." Xiaobai said to Elizabeth, then pretended to rest her chin on her hand, took out her phone and glanced at it a few times, "Hmm... if I'm not mistaken, they should arrive around this afternoon?"

"Huh? So fast? Even faster than our base's supply team?!" Elizabeth exclaimed in surprise. "Our base's supply team was dispatched a month ago!"

"That's how it is one way... My supply team came directly from the naval base. Anyway, you should be able to see them this afternoon," Xiaobai said.

“Ah…” Elizabeth blinked at Xiaobai, then admiration welled up in her eyes, “I see… I was wondering why Admiral Lu Lin hadn’t been worried about resource supplies lately… I thought you just trusted your ship girls’ endurance, but now I see that truly excellent admirals are those who prepare for both possibilities…”

"Basic operation."

"As expected of Admiral Lu Lin!" Elizabeth clapped.

Breakfast was spent amidst Elizabeth's exclamations of amazement.

After breakfast, Elizabeth diligently carried the plate and followed Akagi to the wash area.

As Saratoga watched Elizabeth's departing figure, he curiously approached her.

"Little White, when did you call the resource supply team? Why don't I remember?" Saratoga asked, looking puzzled.

“Of course you don’t remember… because I never called you that.” Little White scratched his cheek and laughed at Saratoga.

"Huh? So you were just with Elizabeth..."

"It's just bragging, isn't it?" Tirpitz interjected, lying on Saratoga's lap after a satisfying meal.

"..." Saratoga looked at Little White, his face saying, "Little White, you've changed. You're so good at bragging now. You didn't have this expression before."

"Ahem... Of course, it's not just bragging..." Little White blushed a little under Saratoga's gaze. She covered her mouth and coughed twice, then said to Saratoga, "After all, if Miss Elizabeth really couldn't see the supply team, she wouldn't believe it, right..."

"So, Xiaobai, what exactly are you planning to do...?"

“The old way.” Little White pointed at Saratoga, “And now that resource restrictions have been lifted, we can deploy carrier strike groups. I just need a reason to bring the people from the naval base over.”

Saratoga stared at the little white finger.

Xiao Bai's finger tilted slightly, pointing in a certain direction.

Saratoga followed the white figure's finger and looked in that direction.

At the other end of the table, Chao Da was holding his dinner, with a piece of fish between his chopsticks, about to put it in his mouth.

"what……"

While eating, Chaoda suddenly felt someone's gaze around her. She paused abruptly, and the fish on her chopsticks fell into her bowl. She subconsciously looked over at Xiaobai and Saratoga, but after seeing Saratoga's staring eyes, her face suddenly stiffened. She looked around helplessly, her shoulders trembling slightly.

"Oh! I get it!" Saratoga's eyes lit up.

-

Newbie Town Guardian.

The main entrance of the cafeteria.

"call"

A black vortex appeared out of nowhere.

Several figures emerged from the vortex one after another, and then the one at the front collapsed to the ground with a thud, retching awkwardly on the floor.

"Ugh ugh ...

Saratoga looked haggard and kept dry heaving like a paramecium, covering her mouth.

“Saratoga, I actually wanted to say this before, if you really feel uncomfortable with teleporting... you don’t have to force yourself to come with us... Besides, I’m just here to drop by, I’ll be going back soon.” Little White looked at Saratoga lying on the ground and gave her an awkward expression.

"No...no!" She covered her mouth and hurriedly stood up, shouting desperately at Xiaobai, "I...I can't...I...ugh..."

However, Saratoga, who had just regained some composure, hadn't even finished speaking when he collapsed onto the floor again, retching violently.

"..."

Seeing Saratoga's disheveled state, Xiaobai sighed, lay down on the floor, and patted Saratoga's back, unsure of what to say.

Chapter 1915 Version Update

Every time Super Yamato uses its teleportation ability, it generates a faint fluctuation of deep-sea energy. Just a few minutes after Shiro returned to the newbie naval base, Lexington, who had sensed Super Yamato's deep-sea energy, appeared on the road near Shiro.

"Xiaobai, you're back?" Lexington greeted everyone with a smile as she hurried over from the path in front of the cafeteria. "How did things go with Chapter Eight? Did Jiajia cause you any trouble... Huh? Jiajia?"

Before Lexington could finish speaking, he saw Saratoga, whose face had turned as red as an eggplant, struggling to cover her mouth, her round, perky buttocks sticking out as she lay on the floor tiles at the cafeteria entrance, vomiting glistening saliva onto the floor under Xiaobai's gentle pats.

"Ah, it's Lexington." Little White, who was squatting next to Saratoga, turned around upon hearing Lexington's voice and smiled shyly at her. "You're here..."

Behind Xiaobai, Chaoda and Yaya bowed respectfully to Lexington.

“Hmm… I just sensed a familiar deep-sea fluctuation, and I guessed it might be you guys coming back, Xiaobai…” Lexington said, looking at the disheveled Saratoga with a strange expression, and asked in confusion, “…Xiaobai, what happened to Saratoga…”

"...Well...Saratoga seems to be dizzy from a whirlpool."

"Dizziness from a whirlpool?"

"Hmm... Last time when we took the Super Yamato's vortex black hole to Chapter 8, Saratoga was like this right after landing there." Shiro gently patted Saratoga's back, calming her breathing as she said helplessly, "In terms of classification... it's probably the same symptom as motion sickness or seasickness, a condition that's hard to adapt to transportation..."

“…I never expected this child to have this kind of attribute…” Lexington sighed, then squatted down to help Saratoga up, took out a box of medicine, deftly took out a small white pill from the box, and then pushed it into Saratoga’s mouth with his fingertip, “Gaga, just eat this first.”

"Ugh... Ugh..." Saratoga, already delirious from vomiting, opened her mouth and swallowed the pills Lexington handed her.

"Lexington, what medicine did you give Saratoga?" Little White asked curiously.

"Motion sickness pills, the kind that sells for ten dollars a box at the train station convenience store," Lexington replied, rubbing Saratoga's forehead.

"Huh? Motion sickness medicine?"

“Yeah… Xiaobai, didn’t you say that Jiajia’s condition was similar to motion sickness? So I tried some motion sickness medicine.”

"Ah..." Xiaobai murmured softly, "Will this really work...?"

"Resurrect!" Just then, Saratoga, who was in a daze, suddenly opened her eyes and shouted loudly. She sat up from Lexington's arms and raised her arms in the signature Popeye pose.

This scene made Xiaobai's eyes widen in surprise.

Absolutely.
