Elder brother's garrison

Xiao Bai took a gentle breath and bit her lip.

“That’s true… Missouri never said she would stay by my side throughout training…”

"This is also... part of the training..."

"She'll probably come back..."

"An hour...how long has that been..."

Xiao Bai quieted down in the chair, looking slightly downcast.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Little White sat silently in the chair, blending into its surroundings.

For a moment, the living room returned to complete silence.

……

The afternoon sun shone brightly at the newbie naval base.

Wisconsin hummed a little tune, carrying two exquisite luxury shopping bags in her hands, her face beaming with a radiant smile of triumphant satisfaction. She skipped and hopped towards the dormitory building, the bags rattling crisply with each step, drawing attention.

along the way.

Upon encountering the newbie naval commander, the ship girls, seeing the smile on Wisconsin's face, couldn't help but smile and ask her questions.

"Wisconsin, you seem to be in a good mood today?"

"Yeah~ I went shopping in the human city today and found some great stuff!" Wisconsin said with a smile, holding up the shopping bag in her hand. "Look! This is the latest bag that Missouri said she wanted before, and I bought it on its first day of release! I also mercifully got her one too!"

"This looks really expensive."

"It's not expensive, only a few tens of thousands."

"Wow... Wisconsin and Missouri are such good sisters."

The ship girls responded affectionately to Wisconsin's words.

"Ha! It's not that good! I just bought it on the side! I bought it as a side purchase!"

Wisconsin quickly and arrogantly defended herself to the ship girls.

After saying goodbye to the greeting ship girls, Wisconsin returned home in good spirits.

Wisconsin hummed a song as she hung the heavy packaging bag on one hand, then skillfully used her other hand to pick up the keychain from her waist and opened the door.

"I'm home!!" Wisconsin plopped open the door, then nimbly skipped into the house, running towards the living room while holding up a shopping bag and shouting, "Yay! Missouri! Look what I brought you back, ta-da! It's the bag you mentioned last time!!!"

Wisconsin stopped midway through her sentence.

Wisconsin, who was having a great time just a moment ago, stared wide-eyed and gasped when she saw the state of the living room.

wow-

The elegantly packaged bag slipped from Wisconsin's hands and fell to the floor.

However, Wisconsin paid no attention to the packaging bag that had fallen to the ground; she just stared blankly at the center of the living room with her mouth agape.

From Wisconsin's perspective, the empty living room was devoid of Missouri, but in the very center of the room, Little White was tightly bound to a chair with red rope and blindfolded, like a living sculpture.

"Admiral...?" Wisconsin exclaimed in surprise, quickly moving closer to Xiaobai. "You, how did you get tied up here? Who did this? Who's so bold! I'll get right back..."

"Missouri?" Before Wisconsin could finish speaking, Little White on the chair seemed to sense Wisconsin's approach. She looked up and hesitantly called out in Wisconsin's direction, "...Are you back?"

"??" Wisconsin was stunned.

"Where did you go just now... I'm so uncomfortable being here alone..." Xiaobai complained weakly, "How much longer until the hour is up... I feel like I can't hold on much longer..."

"..." Wisconsin.

Xiaobai on the chair did not show the panicked expression one would expect when being kidnapped. Although her expression was somewhat uneasy, she remained relatively calm.

Wisconsin glanced silently at the coffee table, where there was an hourglass. About a quarter of the time had already passed.

Wisconsin then looked at Little White, carefully observing Little White's attire, and only then did she notice that Little White had earplugs in her ears.

"Hmm...no wonder the Admiral didn't recognize me." Wisconsin pouted, muttering unhappily, "It seems Missouri is the one who made the Admiral like this...well, thinking about it, with the Admiral's strength, she could easily break free from ropes of this strength...seriously, what exactly does Missouri want to do to the Admiral?"

Wisconsin approached Little White, bringing his face close to Little White's and squinting as he observed Little White's condition.

Seemingly sensing Wisconsin's approach, Little White on the chair raised its face, turning its features toward Wisconsin.

Wisconsin reached out and waved her hand across Little White's face.

Xiaobai didn't react at all.

"...I really can't see it." Wisconsin murmured softly.

“Missouri?” Just then, Little White spoke up from the chair. She sensed Wisconsin approaching, but didn’t feel Wisconsin touching her. Little White shifted uncomfortably and said weakly to Wisconsin, “Missouri… I’m a little scared… I didn’t know you were back. I feel uncomfortable with you staring at me… Please touch me…”

Xiao Bai's voice was soft, with a hint of pleading.

Wisconsin's hands trembled, and her knees nearly buckled.

"I...I'm not from Missouri either...I...I..." Wisconsin explained to Xiaobai somewhat helplessly, but after saying just one sentence, she realized that Xiaobai was wearing earplugs, so Wisconsin closed her mouth and tried to take off Xiaobai's earplugs.

Wisconsin's hand touched Xiaobai's earbuds, but quickly stopped.

Wisconsin looked thoughtfully at Xiaobai's features.

She thought for a while, then silently reached out and stroked Xiaobai's face.

"……is that so?"

When Wisconsin's palm touched Xiaobai's face, Xiaobai's body trembled at first, but soon, like a kitten begging for a pat, it obediently rubbed against Wisconsin's palm.

Wisconsin's fingers traced across Xiaobai's delicate face.

“Missouri… your hands were warm just now, but they got a little cold after you went out…” Xiaobai said reassuringly to Missouri, “I thought you weren’t coming back after you went out…”

"Missouri, that bastard... playing this weird game is one thing, but he even left the Admiral here all alone!" Wisconsin was so angry that her arms were trembling.

Perhaps due to his emotions, Wisconsin's fingers shifted slightly, gently touching Xiaobai's lips and lightly scraping them.

Xiaobai sensed Missouri's movement and obediently raised her chin, bringing her moist lips closer.

"Hey?"

Wisconsin stared at the little white cat looking up, and stood there stunned for a moment.

Faced with the little white thing at this moment, Wisconsin was somewhat at a loss.

Oh no… I think I accidentally pressed some weird button! What does the Admiral mean by this? She's bringing her lips closer! Could it be… could it be that she wants to…?

Wisconsin quickly withdrew his hand, looking at Xiaobai with some confusion.

"Missouri?" Xiaobai asked, puzzled, as if asking why Missouri had suddenly stopped moving.

"...!"

Wisconsin swallowed hard, glancing around in a panic, her first instinct being to run away. But she quickly stopped, staring blankly at Little White's lips for a moment.

Xiao Bai's lips are small, red, and look very soft.

Somehow.

Wisconsin approached Little White, lowered its head, and gently pecked Little White's lips.

Wisconsin ended the brief kiss, covered her mouth and took two steps back, breathing heavily, her confused eyes gradually clearing.

"The Admiral's lips..."

"He... kissed the admiral..."

"People..."

Wisconsin covered her mouth, her face turning as red as a hot iron, and she breathed excitedly.

However, Wisconsin's excitement quickly subsided. Looking at the little white dog sitting in front of her, whose posture was as pure as an angel, her expression gradually calmed down, and then her face began to turn pale.

"What...what have I done..."

Wisconsin clutched his head and squatted down, looking utterly remorseful.

"He actually... he actually kissed the admiral using his own sister's name..."

"This...isn't this just being a thug...?"

"I...I actually...I'm so bad..."

As Wisconsin spoke, a sense of guilt overwhelmed her, and tears welled up in her eyes. She covered her face, ran out of the living room without looking back, and slammed the door shut.

in the living room.

Xiao Bai listened blankly to the faint, fading sound coming from his earpiece.

A lingering, lilac-like sensation remained on her lips.

However, Xiaobai didn't have time to savor the sensation; she was just a little dazed.

Eh?

Missouri left again?

Chapter 2256 Being Too Popular Is Also a Problem

"Whoosh—Bang!!!"

A dazzling burst of sparks exploded in the sky above the training ground.

"Wow!!! It really hit it! The missile is amazing!!!" On the shore of the training ground, the ship girls, led by Washington, cheered thunderously. They raised their beer bottles high and shouted at the figure on the water like they were welcoming a triumphant hero, "Missouri! Missouri! Missouri!"

Missouri sailed back to shore from the water, then gently jumped onto land and retrieved her snow-white ship rigging.

Facing the group of ship girls who had transformed into enthusiastic fans, Missouri smiled modestly and then bowed slightly to them.

“Missouri has only recently mastered the missile ship equipment, and his skills in using it are still not very refined. That last shot was just a coincidence.” Missouri paused slightly at this point, and continued to the crowd, “...Missouri has other important matters to attend to, so I will not stay any longer to disturb the banquet of you seniors. Please forgive me for taking my leave first.”

"Sigh—you rarely attend—" The cheering of the ship girls paused, and they immediately showed regretful expressions.

"I'm so sorry, I'll definitely do it next time," Missouri said with a smile.

"Ahem, alright, alright, let's not make things difficult for Missouri." Washington was more qualified to speak at this time. She coughed lightly twice, attracting the attention of the surrounding ship girls. "Instead of that, now that Missouri has successfully destroyed the carrier-based aircraft, shouldn't someone perform a water spout according to the bet?"

Washington's remarks piqued the interest of the ship girls.

The ship girls immediately became excited.

"That's right! Waterspout! Waterspout!!"

"Is it finally time for my seventh favorite punishment segment?!"

"Speaking of which, what does 'waterspout' mean again?"

"It's the process of shaking a bottle of beer into a whirlwind and then gulping it down in one go."

"Wow, that's awesome!"

"I want to see a waterspout! I want to see it!"

The ship girls, carrying bottles of alcohol, immediately huddled together, and the scene instantly became chaotic.

"Don't rush, don't rush, everyone take turns!" Washington winked at Missouri while organizing the ship girls.

Missouri understood immediately. After giving Washington a slight bow, Missouri quietly left amidst the commotion of the ship girls.

After leaving the exercise field, Missouri glanced at her watch on her way back to her dormitory.

“Fifteen minutes in total… huh? Hmm, looks like it went as planned.” Missouri murmured softly. “Although there’s still plenty of time, it’s definitely more reassuring to get back to the Admiral earlier…”

Missouri lowered her arm at this point in her speech.

But at this moment.

A clear, crisp voice came from behind Missouri.

"Missouri sister————"

Missouri stopped and looked back.

Suddenly, several petite figures in blue appeared from the grove of trees by the roadside, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of Missouri, waving cheerfully in greeting.

"Good afternoon, Missouri sister!"

The four destroyers that appeared in front of Missouri were Fubuki, Shirayuki, Hatsuyuki, and Miyuki.

“Oh, it’s Fubuki-senpai.” Missouri smiled at the figure in front of her, then looked at the other three, “And Shirayuki-senpai, Hatsuyuki-senpai, Miyuki-senpai, it’s been a long time.”
