Elder brother's garrison

Following closely behind, the super-large one collapsed onto the floor, rolled over, and looked wearily at the ceiling.

"Super Yamato..." Xiaobai rushed forward and called out when he saw Super Yamato fall down.

"Just rest for a bit... Admiral, don't worry about me..." Super Big and Slow straightened up and whispered to Little White. Then he touched the lower half of his robe, a strange blush appearing on his face. Then he ran to the changing room without looking back.

"Uh..." Shiro blinked, looking at Yamato's back, "Hmm... since it can run so fast, it must mean there's no problem, right..."

Reassured, Xiaobai put his hand down, then patted his sleeves and walked out of the villa with Saratoga.

Outside the villa door.

Elizabeth was having a pleasant conversation with Akagi.

These past few days, aside from sleeping at night, Elizabeth has been staying at the villa in the newbie naval base. When Shiro and Yamato use their teleportation abilities, they ask Akagi to distract Elizabeth—basically, Akagi pulls Elizabeth aside to chat with her. Anyway, the two are close, and theoretically they could talk from morning till night.

"Admiral Lu Lin, were you just doing another little experiment with deep-sea metal?" Elizabeth smiled at Xiaobai as she saw Xiaobai and Saratoga walk out of the villa.

"Ah... um. I was only halfway through when I got the message and then I came out," Xiaobai explained to Elizabeth, scratching his head.

"News?" Elizabeth was taken aback.

"It's the one I told you about this morning."

"This... morning? Ah! Could it be..." Elizabeth hesitated for a moment after hearing Xiaobai's words, then asked with surprise, "The resource supply team from the rookie naval base?"

“Yes, it’s them. They’ve already crossed the jungle and are heading this way,” Little White said to Elizabeth. “I’m getting ready to meet them.”

"Please...please take me with you!" Upon hearing this, Elizabeth immediately stood up straight and pleaded with Little White, "As their future comrades, I also want to welcome them!"

Ok.

I've been waiting for you to say this.

Xiao Bai smiled slightly.

"It's possible... but it's just a simple handover of tasks, taking them back to the valley. There won't be much of a chance or time to chat, so the process might be a bit boring."

“It’s alright! I’m content just to see those soldiers!” Elizabeth said earnestly. “As someone stationed on the beach, I want to express my respect and gratitude to those who are willing to provide support to us from the rear! This little bit of tedium is nothing compared to the monotonous journey of the whole month!”

Elizabeth's words touched Xiaobai.

As someone who fought alone in Chapter 8, welcoming the "logistics team" from afar certainly requires some sense of ceremony.

Upon hearing that the logistics team of the newbie naval base had arrived at Chapter 8, most of the ship girls of Haoding Naval Base in the valley excitedly put down their work and rushed towards Xiaobai. A large group of them followed Xiaobai out of the valley and arrived in the most open direction on the desolate plain, waiting for the ship girls of the newbie naval base's "logistics team".

While the ship girls waited anxiously.

soon.

At the horizon, a neat and steady column of ship girls appeared. A twenty-person square formation of ship girls marched towards them step by step in an orderly fashion, like a military parade. The ship girl leading the column was Lexington. When Lexington saw the ship girls waiting for her on the wasteland, she waved to them.

"Huh? Is that Admiral Lu Lin's logistics unit over there?" Elizabeth's eyes widened as she looked at Little White in surprise upon seeing Lexington.

"Yes."

"Those ship girls over there... they all seem to be aircraft carriers..."

"Yes."

“Uh… but, but the supply team shouldn’t…” Elizabeth wanted to complain that the newbie naval base’s supply team was as well-equipped as the main fleet of a top-tier naval base, but halfway through her sentence, seeing the ship girls marching in orderly formation in the distance, she sighed and said to Xiaobai with complete admiration, “As expected of Admiral Lu Lin’s ship girls… It’s been a difficult journey of more than half a month to reach the human world. Even our supply team would inevitably show signs of fatigue after such a long journey… But Admiral Lu Lin, your logistics team is not only well-equipped, but they have also maintained such an orderly formation and a composed demeanor until now… It’s as if they instantly teleported from thousands of miles away, without a trace of a long journey on them… This self-discipline and endurance truly befits the world’s number one naval base…”

"……"noob.

Chapter 1920 Ruthless Lady Lie

After hearing Elizabeth's praise of the rookie naval base, Shiro didn't show any smugness. Instead, he couldn't help but smile obsequiously at Elizabeth.

Elizabeth... truly lives up to her title as the secretary ship of the Haoding Naval Base; her sixth sense is incredibly sharp.

The time I knocked her unconscious on the beach was the same, and the time I took Super Big and traveled through space was the same... Every time I secretly did something behind her back, whether I told her or not, she would always casually reveal the truth of the matter later.

However, seeing Elizabeth's sincere admiration, Xiaobai understood that although Elizabeth almost revealed the secret, her words were simply an admiration for the discipline of the new naval commander, not a test.

far away.

Seeing the rookie naval logistics team led by Lexington slowly making their way over, the ship girls waiting in the wilderness gradually became able to see the appearance of the ship girls behind Lexington and feel the beautiful aura emanating from them.

"Ah, they're here!"

"They're a group of aircraft carrier ladies!"

Wow—are they new comrades?

Behind Xiaobai, the Haoding Naval Base ship girls, who were observing the newbie naval base logistics team, cheered excitedly and waved their hands vigorously towards Lexington.

"Here! Here! Here!"

"You must be tired from your journey!"

"Welcome to Chapter Eight!"

You guys are the best!

"..."

The ship girls of Haoding Naval Base did not hold back their enthusiasm, welcoming the logistics team with the most sincere and joyful eyes. So much so that many of the carrier ship girls behind Lexington felt their faces burning under their gaze.

Lexington, leading the ship girls behind her, was greeted by the ship girls of Haoding Naval Base. She responded to the ship girls beside her with a faint smile, and finally stopped in front of Xiaobai.

"Admiral, Lexington reports for duty." Under the watchful eyes of the ship girls, Lexington took a step back, then bowed deeply to Shiro and said respectfully, "--The first support team for the newbie naval base has arrived at Chapter 8 as planned. Please give your instructions, Admiral."

Lexington, like a reliable tour leader, showed no signs of fatigue or hardship from her long journey on her beautiful face. Instead, she gracefully and elegantly lowered her stance, expressing her loyalty to Little White in the eyes of others.

As ship girls who have migrated from human society to Chapter 8 several times, the ship girls of Haoding Naval Base are well aware of the tedium and hardship of this journey. But strangely, looking at Lexington, who is clean and tidy from head to toe and has a dignified and calm expression, none of them expressed any doubt about the journey of Lexington and the twenty carrier ship girls behind her.

"What...what an elegant person..." Elizabeth covered her mouth, looking at Lexington with some surprise. This ship girl, who was bowing, had a wonderful charm that seemed to make people unconsciously lower their guard and trust her.

"Thank you for your hard work." Xiaobai, having watched the show for a while, stepped forward and helped Lexington up. Then, looking at the ship girls behind Lexington, she smiled slightly at them. "Anyway, the journey is long, you must be eager to rest, right? Why don't we go back to the valley first, and we can talk as we walk?"

"Yes, Admiral!" the aircraft carrier girls shouted.

"Sister!" Saratoga excitedly jumped into Lexington's arms, hugging her waist tightly and snuggling against her affectionately. "You're finally here!"

“Yes, Saratoga.” Lexington smiled and patted Saratoga’s head, then her gaze moved slightly upwards and stopped on Elizabeth, who was staring straight at her next to Little White. “Hmm… Speaking of which, there are quite a few new faces around the Admiral this time in Chapter 8… May I ask if these new sisters, like this young lady, are the ship girls that my Admiral recently acquired?”

"Uh." Elizabeth looked embarrassed.

"No way...no way." Xiaobai laughed and shook his head at Lexington. "This is Elizabeth, the secretary ship of Admiral Haoding. The other unfamiliar faces here are also Admiral Haoding's ship girls. Due to some special reasons, I accepted Admiral Haoding's request to temporarily lead these ship girls for him, so they are with me."

Little White had indeed not told Lexington in detail about his experiences during Chapter 8. When Lexington asked Little White about Elizabeth and the others' origins, it wasn't just a simple act of pretending to be a newcomer, but rather a teasing remark with a hint of mockery.

"I see, it's Elizabeth." After hearing what Xiaobai said, Lexington smiled slightly at Elizabeth, then extended her hand and said slowly, "Since my admiral has been entrusted with this matter, then from now on we are comrades-in-arms with one heart and one mind. In the days to come, whether in life or on the battlefield, please take good care of me."

"Ah! Me, me too, please take care of me!" Elizabeth snapped out of her embarrassment and quickly reached out to grasp Lexington's hands, saying cautiously, "Um... it's nice to meet you..."

“Lexington is our naval base’s secretary ship. If you can’t reach me in any urgent matters, you can contact her,” Xiaobai said to Elizabeth with a smile.

"Huh? The secretary ship?" Elizabeth was taken aback, looking at Lexington with a surprised expression.

"Does my sister think I don't look like it?" Lexington asked Elizabeth with a smile.

“Ah…no, no…that…you really have a great presence…you’d be perfect as a secretary ship.” Elizabeth quickly lowered her head, then whispered, “However, I heard from people who visited the newbie naval base that the secretary ship there is a highly capable, ruthless, and manipulative woman…so…”

"Hehehe." Lexington laughed brightly, gently patted Elizabeth, and said softly, "Whether you're ruthless or indecisive, those are just rumors spread by outsiders. Elizabeth, which type of person do you think I am?"

"Ah...seeing is believing!" Elizabeth looked at Lexington's smile and felt a breath of fresh air. She nodded vigorously at Lexington. "I feel that you are very gentle, Senior Lexington. You are not that kind of person!"

“I feel the same way.” Lexington said, cupping half of her face and giving Elizabeth a troubled smile. “Actually, I don’t have any real power in the naval base. Although I’m the secretary ship, I’m just a pretty face. Whenever I have to make a decision, I have to go to the Admiral’s house to ask for her permission. After all, I can’t do anything without the Admiral’s orders.”

"Huh? Is Admiral Lu Lin that amazing...?" Elizabeth exclaimed in surprise.

"Don't let my admiral's youth fool you, she already has five married ships," Lexington said with a smile. "And what about your admirals?"

“Eh? Five…five people…” Elizabeth was a little confused, so she replied stupidly and subconsciously, “Uh…my, my admiral…he’s always been obsessed with going to war, so he doesn’t have any thoughts about romance right now.”

"As expected of Admiral Haoding, he is just like I have seen him before."

"Eh? Senior Lexington has met my Admiral before?"

"After all, we've both been among the top ten naval bases for over a decade. As the secretary ship, I had some opportunities to get to know her when I accompanied the previous admiral on missions. Speaking of which, Elizabeth, you were probably only built up in the last few years, right?"

"Ah... um, about three or four years ago..."

"To have achieved such skill in just three years and risen all the way to the position of secretary ship is truly remarkable. Elizabeth is indeed a rare ship girl genius. I'm sure Admiral Haoding must highly praise your abilities, right?"

"No, no... The admiral just wanted to train me, that's why he made me the secretary ship... Actually, I'm still far from good enough..."

"No, Admiral Haoding has a good eye. My sister, you are a promising talent—I wonder how far the relationship between Elizabeth and Admiral Haoding has progressed?"

"The Admiral's kindness to me is immeasurable..."

"Hmm...do you have those kinds of thoughts?"

"Eh? That kind of thing? Uh... Ah! No, no, no, no—" Elizabeth blushed instantly and waved her hand awkwardly, "Although the Admiral is the person I trust most in the world, I only see him as a brother and father... Besides, the Admiral only sees me as a subordinate. Our relationship is completely innocent, not what you think, senior..."

"Hmm? Which one? That's exactly what I was going to ask." Lexington looked at Elizabeth with a smile, as if she had read Elizabeth's mind in just a few words. "Hmm... I'm suddenly a little curious... Sister, why don't you tell me what I was thinking just now?"

"Um..." Elizabeth lowered her head in embarrassment, her face flushed from the tip of her nose to the roots of her ears, looking completely dumbfounded.

really.

Compared to this experienced older sister, my meager skills over the past two or three years are indeed too shallow... In front of her, my every word and action is completely suppressed, and I can't even move.

Lexington and Elizabeth "had a very pleasant conversation".

Listening to the conversation between Lexington and Elizabeth behind him, Xiaobai couldn't help but smile wryly. Then, he couldn't help but look away and gaze into the distance, towards the horizon.

Although there was so much to criticize about Lexington's words, I felt that if I didn't explain it, it would eventually develop into some strange misunderstandings...

but……

Ugh.

Forget it.

It's rare for me to get out of the house.

As long as Lexington is happy.

Chapter 1921 Professor Hu De's Class Begins

Lexington usually works under a lot of pressure at the naval base, so it's a rare treat to be free from the newbie naval base and have some fun. When she sees her cute juniors, she can't help but tease them a little and watch their cute reactions, which is one of Lexington's quirky hobbies.

Back then, Yamato and Richelieu were frequently targeted by Lexington.

But...

Never mind.

In any case, Lexington didn't do anything too outrageous, and through Lexington's teasing, Elizabeth and Lexington became much more familiar with each other, making it easier for them to get along in the future.

Listening to Elizabeth's timid and submissive manner, like a little maid, as she spoke to Lexington along the way, Xiaobai smiled helplessly to herself, and then led the ship girls back to the valley.

After returning to the valley, the ship girls from Haoding Naval Base still had a lot of work to do. After briefly greeting Lexington and the other carrier ship girls, they dispersed. Xiaobai led Elizabeth and Lexington towards their villa.

along the way.

As Lexington walked, he looked around at the villas and various small buildings that dotted the valley.

“The architecture in this valley is quite stylish,” Lexington said to Xiaobai.

“Yes, these were all built by Admiral Haoding and his ship girls. He even gave us a few of the villas.” Xiaobai said, then smiled slightly at Elizabeth next to Lexington. “Thanks to Admiral Haoding, our naval base now has shelter from the wind and rain. We no longer have to live a life of hardship here in Chapter 8, with the sky as our blanket and the earth as our mattress.”

"Admiral Haoding is both bold and meticulous," Lexington nodded slightly and sighed softly.

Return to the villa.

At the entrance of the villa, the Akagi ship girls were hanging out their clean clothes to dry. When they saw Shiro and Lexington return, Akagi happily put down what she was holding, rolled up her sleeves to her elbows, and rushed over with a smile.

"Lexington, you've arrived."

"Akagi, long time no see." Lexington smiled slightly. "How have you been staying here since Chapter Eight?"

"Whether I'm living well or not, you can tell just by looking at me," Akagi smiled at Lexington, gently supporting her back as she spoke. "Compared to the days at the naval base, I'm much busier, but it's quite nice. Having something to do keeps me from getting bored."

"It makes sense."

"...Isn't this Elizabeth?" Akagi quickly noticed Elizabeth beside Lexington. Seeing Elizabeth's cautious little expression, she immediately gave Lexington a subtle smile. "Lexington...you didn't do anything to our little sister on our first meeting, did you?"

“Akagi is joking again. This new little sister is cute and innocent; I'd rather dote on her than do anything to her.” Lexington smiled slightly at Elizabeth. “Right?”

“Yes…yes, yes, yes!” Elizabeth nodded quickly.

"..." Akagi raised an eyebrow at Elizabeth for a moment, then shrugged helplessly. "Alright... Lexington, you go to the villa and say hello to the others. I'll continue hanging up the laundry and preparing the ingredients for dinner..."

"Do you need any help?" Lexington asked.

"Forget about you, you're too busy." Akagi poked Lexington's ample chest with her snow-white finger, gave Lexington a mischievous smile, then glanced at Elizabeth and smiled kindly at her, "Come on, little sister, let's go hang up the laundry."
