Elder brother's garrison

Jean Bart opened the safe door and first peeked inside.

“There was only that one folder… I thought there would be gold bars or gold nuggets or something.” Jean Bart took out the folder with a slight regret, sat on the bed next to him, crossed his legs and started flipping through it. “What is this folder… Hmm… Oh? So that’s it… Oh oh oh… No wonder, no wonder, the Admiral was right… This time we’ve really found something big… Hehehehehe…”

Jean Bart, holding the folder, shrugged and grinned mischievously, his mouth curving into a crescent moon.

"You're in trouble now that my admiral got his hands on this..."

"The big one is coming! The big one is coming!"

Jean Bart placed the folder on his lap, then took out a professional camera from his ship's storage space and began photographing the folder page by page.

Click.

Click.

Click...

Inside the quiet low-rent apartment, Jean Bart's wicked laughter and the crisp click of camera shutters could be heard from time to time.

Chapter 2791 The bustling repair pool

The sun rises, the sun sets.

Two days have passed since the last mail delivery incident.

During these two days, the gates of the temporary garrison remained tightly closed as always. People outside had no idea what was happening inside, so rumors were brewing intensely. They had even escalated from "the three girls were only superficially close" to "the three girls went their separate ways and became strangers," and even "the three girls severed all ties and harbored deep resentment."

This is explosive news that concerns the future top ten admirals!

This is the only naval base in all of Chapter 8 to have a special ship girl!

Outside the temporary garrison headquarters, the eager admirals, desperate to find out what was happening inside, stood on tiptoe, trying to cradle their necks over the high walls.

They all wanted to know the result.

Damn it, I really want to know how badly these three girls will fight each other!

……

Compared to the anxious atmosphere outside the temporary naval base, the situation inside would probably surprise everyone.

Steam filled the air inside the ship girl bath.

"Little White, this is a cake I made by asking the ship girls in the kitchen to teach me how to make it. Try it and see if it's good!" Nia held a plate of cake and leaned against the edge of the repair pool as if her bones had been removed. She picked up a piece of cake with a small fork and spoke softly to Little White in the pool with a happy smile on her face.

"Ah—" Little White clung to the edge of the repair pool, opened its mouth towards Nia, and bit into the cake that was offered to it.

"Is it delicious?" Nia asked expectantly.

"Mmm, it's especially delicious." Xiaobai licked her lips and smiled slightly at Nia. "Nia's cooking is really good."

"Hehe, hehe... No, nothing..." Nia held the fork in both hands and lowered her head shyly.

Beside Nia and Xiaobai, Luo Lian sat on a bench, making a phone call using Xiaobai's phone.

"Okay, I understand. I will pass it on." Luo Lian put down her phone, let out a long sigh, and said to Xiao Bai, "Xiao Bai, the Admiral's Guild called again. It seems that the incident of delivering the letter a couple of days ago has spread a lot. The Admiral's Guild is very concerned about our situation and came to inquire about our well-being."

"Was that Miss Yingying calling?"

"Yes."

"Oh, I guess I'll call her back then." Xiao Bai nodded to Luo Lian, her eyes secretly glancing at Nia.

After hearing the words "message delivery incident," Nia's happy expression remained unchanged, and she fed Little White cake without hesitation, as if she hadn't heard anything at all.

"Little White, ah—" Nia said with a smile as she picked up the cake.

Little White took a bite of the cake, chewing as she smiled at Nia.

It seems that after being honest with each other, Nia and I have made great strides in our relationship.

Admiral Ke Yuan's petty tricks no longer have any psychological impact on Nia.

Good things are all good things.

Xiaobai swallowed the cake in her mouth and winked at Nia.

"Oh, right, Nia."

"Hmm? What's up?"

"I feel like the concentration of the repair fluid in the repair pool has decreased. Could you add some more sometime?" Xiaobai said to Nia.

"Huh? I just added it yesterday!" Nia was stunned. "Generally speaking, a repair tank of this capacity can last for a week after one fill of repair fluid."

“Xiao Bai’s land-based ship equipment is quite special. In the past, when we relied on quick repair, even if there was only one quick repair device that could definitely repair the ship equipment, she would still need a dozen or so to repair it,” Luo Lian explained from the side. “Now that we’re using repair fluid for treatment… the consumption of repair fluid will probably be much faster than before.”

"Eh... Oh, so that's how it is..." Nia stared blankly at Xiaobai.

"Nia, I'm so sorry..." Xiaobai said apologetically, putting her hands together. "I'll give you the supplies for the repair fluid."

"No, no!" Nia shook her head immediately upon hearing Xiaobai's words. "Replenishing the repair pool once only costs the same as one quick repair. Besides, my ship girls need to use my repair pool too. This amount of wear and tear isn't even enough for daily training. How can I charge you, Xiaobai!"

"Well... okay then." Little White stuck out her tongue at Nia.

"Hmm...Speaking of which, how's the repair of your ship equipment going, Xiaobai?" Nia blinked and looked at Xiaobai.

"Let me see..." Xiaobai closed his eyes and sensed it for a moment, then opened them and said, "Hmm... because I've been here all day except for sleeping, the progress is faster than I expected. It's probably about 10% repaired."

"That means about 60% of the ship equipment still needs repair... That means it'll be soaking for another two weeks." Hearing this, Nia looked at Xiaobai with some emotion, "Xiaobai, your ship equipment repair is so slow and consumes so many resources, you must be super amazing, right?"

"It's alright, I'm really bad at it."

"Hehe, anyway, we have nothing else to do. Little White, you already have such a powerful naval base, you don't need to fight yourself." Nia said, continuing to use her fork to pick up cake and feed it to Little White.

Xiaobai didn't refute anything; she just smiled slightly and took a bite of Nia's cake.

"Ah! Commander, you've come to Admiral Lu Lin's place again!"

Just then, a familiar voice called out from outside the repair pool, and then a tall and voluptuous figure wrapped in a bath towel ran into the repair pool and stood not far from the group.

The three of them looked over.

Appearing before everyone was Nia's Taifeng. At this moment, she was pouting, her thick, black hair was piled high on the back of her head, and the bath towel on her body barely covered her extremely alluring, snow-white body.

"Huh? Taifeng, what brings you here..."

"I'm a ship girl, so coming to the ship girl bath is a normal thing!" Taihou said as she jogged over to the group. "Today, Taihou is having a long-awaited live-fire exercise with humans. Her ship equipment is quite damaged, and she's about to soak in the repair pool to fix it! Commander! Come and see Taihou!"

As she spoke, Da Feng untied her bath towel.

"Wow."

As Taihou revealed its form, a gasp of amazement rang out from the air.

"Huh?" Taihou froze, clutching her chest, and looked around curiously. "Eh? Was someone else talking just now?"

Taiho then looked at the three admirals in front of her.

Luo Lian remained expressionless, Nia remained calm, and Xiao Bai blushed and covered her eyes. None of these three seemed to belong to the person who had just spoken.

—Did I hear that right?

Da Feng was puzzled for a moment.

"Daifeng, don't catch a cold, go soak in the water." Nia looked at Daifeng's indescribable body and said to her with concern.

"Eh...oh..." Taihou looked at Nia's completely expressionless face with some disappointment. She sighed, wrapped a towel around her hair, and then stepped into the warm repair fluid, sitting down next to Shiro. "Commander...do you prefer the petite type like Admiral Lu Lin?"

"This, this is so..." Nia blushed instantly at Taihou's words. "Let's... let's not talk about this anymore, Taihou. Speaking of which, you don't usually like live-fire exercises, do you? Why the sudden change of heart today?"

"That's for 'glug glug glug' of course..." Da Feng pouted her cheeks, submerged her mouth in the repair fluid, and mumbled a long string of words.

"..." Nia smiled bitterly.

Oh no, I can't understand a word of it.

"Speaking of which, Taifeng, who were your targets in your live-fire exercises?"

"Yes." The giant phoenix in the water stretched out its hand and pointed to the entrance of the restoration pool.

At the entrance to the restoration pool, four figures were pushing and shoving each other.

"No, don't push me! I... I can walk..."

"Don't be shy, Veneto, Admiral Lu Lin will be very happy to meet you."

"Sister, you can do it!"

"Together, together."

Four tall, voluptuous figures, wrapped in bath towels, finally broke through the mist and appeared before everyone.

They turned out to be the four Veneto sisters from the Nia family.

Veneto blushed, one arm tightly wrapped around a towel covering his face, his cheeks so red they seemed to drip water. He was somewhat hesitant to look up and greet the three admirals in front of him.

"Um... um... Commander, Admiral Lu Lin... and Admiral Luo Lian, hello... how are you all?"

"Hello, Commander, and two lovely admirals." Behind Veneto, Littorio, casually draped in a bath towel, put one arm around Veneto's shoulder and waved to the group with the other, revealing a dashing smile. "We're here to repair the ship's equipment."

"..." The Empire, dressed the same as Veneto, didn't speak, but blinked and followed behind the group. Her gaze bypassed everyone and landed on Little White, focusing intently on Little White.

"Hello." Roma's face flushed slightly. She covered her chest with a towel and bowed slightly to the group. "Excuse me."

“You…” The three of them looked at the four Veneto sisters in front of them with some surprise.

"They are my opponents in the live-fire exercise." Da Feng said, resting her chin on her hand and sighing. "Oh dear, I don't know what's gotten into Veneto lately. She's so strong. Before, as long as she didn't use her bullet hell skills, I could hold my own against her or even beat her. But this time in the exercise, I almost got completely destroyed by her."

"I heard that Veneto has been receiving training from Veneto of the Bai family these past two days, and it seems he has benefited a lot," Nia said with a smile to Veneto.

“…Yes, Commander.” Veneto nodded sheepishly.

"Don't just stand there! This isn't a reception room. If you're being too polite, the atmosphere will become awkward. Come on in and take a bath with us!" Nia called out with a smile. "We're all girls, don't be so shy."

The four Veneto sisters were taken aback for a moment before nodding in agreement.

The four beautiful ship girls lowered their heads and gently untied their bath towels.

The towel fell.

The sound of splashing water filled the air.

Her figure swayed gracefully.

Chapter 2792 Nia's Wish

Amidst the misty fog, four slender, snow-white figures entered the water one after another. As the splashing water rang out, the water level in the restoration pool seemed to rise slightly with the arrival of these four figures.

Regarding ship girls using the repair pool, there is actually an unwritten rule in the entire ship girl community.

That means that no matter how shy or introverted a ship girl is, when soaking in the repair solution, in order to pursue the speed and efficiency of repair, she must try to ensure that her body is in full contact with the repair solution. In other words, it is not acceptable for a ship girl to wrap her body in a towel because she is shy when soaking in the repair solution.

After the four Veneto ship girls from Nia's family entered the water, they slowly squatted down, sank their snow-white bodies into the repair pool, and then slowly moved closer to Xiaobai.

The ship girls of Nia's family are all tall and slender. At this moment, Xiaobai, who is in the middle of the ship girls, suddenly has the illusion of being surrounded by mountains.

"It's quite a special experience to use the repair pool with Admiral Lu Lin, who is human." Littorio said, stretching lazily towards the ceiling, her beautiful body curving closer to Xiaobai. "Hmm—the ship equipment is slowly repairing its damage, it feels really good."

“Li, Littorio! Admiral Lu Lin is still here, you should be careful…” Veneto blushed and spoke up as soon as he saw that Littorio had almost offended Xiaobai.

"Hmm? What's wrong? Aren't Admiral Lu Lin and us both girls?" Littorio seemed to have anticipated Veneto's words. She raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly at Veneto, then said, "I'm only so relaxed because I have a great deal of trust in Admiral Lu Lin. Veneto, do you think Admiral Lu Lin isn't just a simple girl?"

“No…no…” Veneto swayed.

“I think it’s you who’s not relaxed—” Littorio smiled and approached, gently leaning against Veneto’s back, her hands sliding forward along Veneto’s arms. “You weren’t this talkative when we were using the repair pool before, were you? Let me see what’s wrong with you today?”

"Littori...ah!" Veneto tilted her head back and let out a soft voice, "Don't..."

"Today's training has made you much more physically fit, Veneto?"

"Ah...no, it's not..."

"..."

Crash, crash.

Waves rippled across the surface of the restoration pool.

Xiao Bai awkwardly watched Veneto and Littorio interact in the bath, seeing Veneto's face flushed and panting as Littorio teased her. For a moment, he didn't know whether to appreciate the beautiful scene or look away.

However, before Xiaobai could make a judgment, the next second, she felt a soft touch on her arm that was submerged in the pool.

Xiao Bai turned his head and saw that Nia's Empire had swum to his side and gently hugged his arm.

"Admiral Lu Lin... Good morning..." Empire squinted, hugging Xiaobai's arm like a pillow, and whispered to her.

"Good morning, Empire," Little White replied.
