Elder brother's garrison

"And then... well... actually, ever since you guys captured me, I haven't been working on the sea anymore, and then, in the last few years, a new director came along and replaced me..." Yamato Akami said.

Xiaobai knew about this; Yixian had told her.

The brother's initial goal was to break the cycle of the Deep Sea Dean being killed and then reappearing. He tried to see if imprisoning the Deep Sea Dean could stop the appearance of the Deep Sea Dean on the high seas, which is why he captured Deep Sea Yamato.

The result was a failure. A few years after capturing Yamato, a brand new deep-sea dean appeared on the high seas.

"How did Yamato-neechan find out about this?" Shiro asked疑惑地.

Deep Sea Yamato is locked up in prison, oblivious to what's happening around him. He couldn't possibly have found this information by searching on Baidu, could he?

“Dean of the same origin has some strange connection, and that’s the case between you and Pachina,” Yamato Shinkai said. “In short, I can sense that guy’s presence.”

"Oh……"

"Do you know why Pachina wasn't angry at all when she saw you kill her ex and steal her ex's ship equipment?"

"……do not know."

"Because neither Pachina nor the new dean here who is my counterpart likes their predecessors."

"what?"

“That’s how the Abyssal Fleet works. The existence of us former deans who are still alive is just an obstacle to the new dean’s position. If I go back to the open sea, before my ship equipment can be repaired, they might find me and kill me.” Abyssal Yamato vividly stretched out her hand and slashed her neck. “Of course, if I were in my prime, I wouldn’t be afraid of her.”

"Oh..." Xiaobai nodded.

It seems that Yamato doesn't not want to go back, but rather that she can't.

Xiao Bai looked at the lit computer monitor on the computer desk.

"So, does that mean Yamato-neechan is someone that neither human society nor the sea can tolerate now?" Shiro asked.

"Uh." Deep Sea Yamato's heart skipped a beat when he heard Shiro's summary.

She nodded.

Yes, although it's a little embarrassing to say.

The newbie naval base is currently the only safe place in Deepsea Yamato.

Leaving here and returning to the sea would mean certain death. If she came to human society, the ship girls would discover her immediately and execute her on the spot. Even if there was a slight chance that she wouldn't be discovered by the ship girls, how could the deep-sea Yamato support herself with the meager common sense that barely allowed her to survive in prison?

What if I'm so beautiful and have such a great figure, and a bad guy kidnaps me?

After reading many dark and disturbing novels online, Yamato Shinkai is filled with despair about his future in human society.

The newbie naval base has food, lodging, and even computers to play with. It's so much better than the harsh living conditions outside. Only a fool would want to go out.

Only after understanding these things can Yamato enjoy life here so much.

That's why she didn't want to leave at all.

If the naval base were to actually kick her out one day, Yamato wouldn't be happy at all; instead, she'd run back to beg Haku to lock her up in prison again.

"Oh..." Xiaobai nodded.

She really hadn't considered that the current state of Deepsea Yamato was a classic case of being caught between a rock and a hard place.

If that's the case, if we tell Lexington about it, maybe he can get Yamato released from prison so she won't have to stay locked up in this little room anymore.

Xiao Bai thought to himself.

Shiro smiled as he looked at Yamato.

What are you laughing at?

"Huh? No," Xiaobai said with a smile.

"Oh, I see..." Yamato nodded.

In short, this little room is the best place to live.

After chatting with Xiaobai, Shenhai Yamato unconsciously felt a lot lighter on his shoulders.

Actually, upon closer reflection, I realized there was no need for me to become a deep-sea amphibious vessel and fight against humans. Look at these clothes, this cola, all the food and toys—aren't they all perfectly fine? Besides, my fighting against humans was just a habit I developed before I had any intelligence. Now that I have intelligence and rationality, why not pursue a better life?

—Well, in conclusion, small rooms are the best.

It feels amazing to have money to spend without having to work.

Yamato thought to himself.

People really do find a bunch of excuses for themselves when they're going astray.

Shiro and Yamato smiled at each other, each suppressing their own thoughts.

"Ah, I don't have much time, so I'll head back now." Xiaobai put away her ship equipment and stood up.

"Oh! Come again soon." Deep Sea Yamato said to Shiro as if waving to an old friend.

"Yamato-neechan, this is a prison."

"Ah, I'd completely forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it," Yamato Fukami said with a smile, scratching his head.

"Is this a prison? No, this is my warm little home! I, Yamato, would rather die than leave this place!"

"Yamato-neechan is such an optimistic person," Shiro said admiringly.

Xiao Bai thought to himself that if someone locked him in a room like this for years and didn't let him leave, he would probably go crazy.

—Since Sister Taiga herself said she's giving up on going back to the sea, then Shiro must rescue Sister Yamato from this dark and gloomy little room.

Shiro left Yamato's room and gently closed the door.

Yamato touched his forehead, hummed a song, and jumped onto the bed, rolling around happily among the soft blankets.

—Little Horn is back too, I'm so happy.

Xiaobai, this new admiral, is quite reliable; much better than that jerk.

To be honest, I initially thought of myself as that bastard's wife. Honestly, I'm not that kind of despicable person.

"Hehehe~" Deep Sea Yamato hugged the blanket and rolled around on the bed happily. His big purple eyes were squinted, and a pink blush rose on his fair face. His flowing white hair spread out like a curtain.

No, no, that's not true!

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Xiao Bai walked out of the prison unharmed, and Yi Xian, who was watching from the doorway, breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Bai stayed inside for quite a while this time, and Yi Xian was a little worried. Because of what happened yesterday, Yi Xian couldn't go in to check on the situation again, so she could only wait outside.

"Admiral." Yi Xian bowed to Xiao Bai.

"Yes! Yixian, I'm out." Xiaobai greeted Yixian.

"Has Yamato forgiven the Admiral?"

"Yes, we had a very pleasant chat," Xiaobai said.

"That's good." Yi Xian nodded.

"Then I'll head back. I need to talk to Lexington about something very important." Xiaobai waved to Yixian and left.

"Have a safe journey, Admiral." Yi Xian waved.

Is the Admiral looking for Mrs. Rei after leaving Yamato's room?

Very important thing?

Yixian thought for a while.

Are you suggesting we improve the quality of prisons in the deep sea, Yamato?

Chapter 190 Saratoga, whom we haven't seen in a long time

Xiao Bai returned to the admiral's office.

Lexington was sitting quietly in the secretary's seat, organizing documents.

Soft sunlight streamed through the curtains and onto Lexington's beautiful face, making her look like an ethereal goddess.

Lexington is that kind of magical ship girl who gives people a sense of security just by sitting there.

Xiaobai walked up.

"Thump." Just then, the sound of someone falling to the ground came from the sofa.

"Huh? Shiro, you're back. Have you made up with Yamato?" Lexington's attention was also diverted by the voice. She looked up and saw Shiro return. She then showed a holy and kind smile, like that of a goddess.

"Mm." Xiaobai nodded in response, glancing towards the sofa.

She saw a blonde girl fall to the ground over the sofa.

The blonde girl was dressed in a white sailor uniform and black stockings, exuding a playful charm with a touch of maturity.

It was Saratoga, who had been missing for several days.

"Saratoga?!" Little White walked up to Saratoga with a hint of surprise and helped her up from the ground. "Where have you been these past few days?"

“Uh—” Saratoga raised her head.

The child had a rosy complexion and was full of energy, but for some reason, his eyes looked particularly tired.

"Little White..." Saratoga murmured weakly, reaching out her hand and waving it as she reached for Little White.

"Huh? What's going on? What happened to Saratoga?" Xiaobai asked in astonishment as Saratoga snuggled into his arms like a wronged kitten.

How could the supercarrier Saratoga, which could rival destroyers in terms of manpower and resources, have turned into this?!

What kind of inhuman treatment did she suffer?!

"Hmm? Jiajia? Ah. I gave her a little, a tiny bit of a lesson these past few days." Lexington's friendly voice came through.

Lexington smiled as she looked at Xiaobai: "Xiaobai, you know that Jiajia made a mistake. As her older sister, I should set an example and put aside my own family. But since Jiajia is my sister, I couldn't bear to drag her over and have Shengwang punish her with a few rulers. So I personally gave her a little punishment."

"Gaga has realized her mistake, hasn't she?" Lexington smiled as she looked at Saratoga in Little White's arms.

"Mmm-hmm!" Saratoga nodded quickly.

This was the first time Xiaobai had seen Saratoga nodding so earnestly.

What exactly did Lexington do to Saratoga...?

"Hey Saratoga, Little White is going back to work, don't bother the Admiral, okay?" Lexington reminded Saratoga, who was still nestled in Little White's arms and showed no sign of leaving.

Saratoga gave Little White a pitiful look.

Xiaobai kept smiling.

"I don't have any work for the time being, so it's fine to stay like this for a while," Xiaobai said.

"Oh, I see." Lexington wasn't an unreasonable person, and since Xiaobai had said so, she had no reason to object.

Little White sat on the sofa, and Saratoga rested her head on Little White's lap and slowly fell asleep.

Little White looked down at Saratoga's face.

Using a lap pillow for too long can actually make your legs feel quite numb.

Fortunately, Shiro's physique is now similar to that of a ship girl, so giving Sarato a pillow for an afternoon is no problem.

Saratoga looks really sleepy.

"Hmm? Is that so?" Lexington put down her pen. "At home, I eat and sleep very well."

Lexington was telling the truth.

Although the methods of punishment are unknown, Saratoga's complexion suggests that she has not been abused.

A rosy complexion indicates that you are eating well and getting enough sleep.

“I guess Jiajia felt relieved as soon as she rested her head on your lap,” Lexington said. “I don’t know why, but this child is so attached to you now.”

"Hahaha," Xiaobai chuckled softly, "Is it because of the land-based ship equipment inside my body?"

“It’s probably because Jiajia has always liked you,” Lexington said with a smile. “Don’t let her carefree demeanor fool you, Jiajia is actually very perceptive.”

"Is that so?"

“She likes what she likes and hates what she hates. When she’s daydreaming, she might be contemplating the philosophy of life, but the next second she’ll be worrying about what to eat. That’s just the kind of person Jiajia is,” Lexington said.

"Hahaha."

“Sometimes I even get jealous of the relationship between you two,” Lexington said jokingly, resting her rosy cheeks on her hand. “I’m supposed to be the older sister, but all I do is come here every day, and I even sneak out to study with Xiaobai. It’s so infuriating.”

“Saratoga also really likes Lexington,” Xiaobai said.
