Elder brother's garrison

Nanxing followed Nia's instructions and led the group through the streets.

About ten minutes passed.

A fashion boutique appeared across the street from where the group was heading.

The shop's decor was black and white, and the signboard at the top adopted the same artistic style, making it look both stylish and simple.

"Is this the place?" Nanxing asked Nia, pointing to the fashion store in the distance.

“Yes!” Nia nodded repeatedly.

Nanxing then put his hand down and walked over with the others.

At the shop entrance, a shop assistant watched Xiaobai and his group arrive from afar. Upon catching a glimpse of Nanxing's face, the shop assistant was momentarily surprised, but then immediately broke into a delighted smile.

"Admiral Nanxing! Is this Admiral Nanxing?" The shop assistant quickly came up, bowed to the group with a big smile, and then asked enthusiastically, "Hello, Admiral Nanxing, are you here to choose clothes for the ship girls? It's such an honor!"

No wonder he's one of the top ten admirals, he certainly has the prestige.

Before the four of us even entered the store, the staff inside came out to greet us.

The three of them, Xiaobai and Nanxing, who were hiding behind Nanxing, couldn't help but sigh at the shop assistant's unbelievably enthusiastic expression.

Nanxing herself didn't have much experience in shopping. In fact, she usually had her ship girls do her shopping for her. When she encountered such an enthusiastic shop assistant, Nanxing didn't know how to react for a moment. She just looked at the shop assistant's warm smile with some helplessness.

Fortunately, at that moment, Luo Lian came up.

Luo Lian gently pulled down her baseball cap and said crisply to the shop assistant, "Hello, my admiral is here to buy pajamas."

"Oh! Pajamas! You've come at the perfect time! Our shop specializes in all kinds of pajamas!" The shop assistant laughed upon hearing this and enthusiastically introduced the styles to Luo Lian. "Whether it's a camisole, a two-piece, a one-piece robe, or even pajamas for ship girls or humans, we have the latest and best selection. From submarines and destroyers to battleships, human ships, and aircraft carriers, we have everything. Every type of girl can find her favorite style. We guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

“It looks nice, let’s go inside and have a look.” Luo Lian pointed to the shop.

The four are still outside the shop.

The shop assistant realized this as well, and she smiled awkwardly before quickly leading everyone into the store.

Nanxing isn't good at being in the spotlight, but fortunately, Luo Lian is quite good at it, and she gets into character very quickly, immediately adopting the persona of a "helpful ship girl who helps her admiral with his affairs" as soon as she enters the room.

With Luo Lian's help, Nan Xing hardly needed to say a word or deal with the shop assistants along the way, and the four of them arrived directly at the pajama section of the fashion store.

As expected of a fashion store highly praised by Nia's ship girls, the variety of goods here is dazzling.

After the four of them had each chosen their favorite pajamas, they quickly paid the bill and packed them up.

After shopping, as the four left the clothing store, the sales clerk stood enthusiastically at the entrance, waving at them and saying things like "Come again next time, and we'll give you a 30% discount."

"……call……"

Nanxing hugged the paper bag in her arms and breathed a sigh of relief.

Nanxing is really bad at dealing with humans. If it weren't for Luo Lian's help, Nanxing's CPU would probably have burned out several times over.

Thinking of this, Nanxing turned his head and looked at the three people beside him.

Luo Lian walked calmly, carrying the paper bag. Her eyes were fixed straight ahead, only slightly shifting towards Nan Xing when she sensed his gaze.

“?” Luo Lian.

“.” Nanxing.

There is an unspoken understanding between Nanxing and Luolian.

The two walked along, listening to Xiaobai and Nia chatting beside them.

"Nia, what style of pajamas did you buy?" Xiaobai asked Nia with a smile.

"Wait, you'll find out tonight..." Nia hugged the paper bag tightly, her face flushed, her voice full of shyness, "Little, Little White, what about yours? Your pajamas look so big..."

Everyone's eyes turned to Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai was holding a large box that was more than half a person tall.

Compared to the small paper bags in the other people's hands, the large box in Xiaobai's hand was indeed much more eye-catching.

"Yes, I thought these pajamas were interesting, so I bought them," Xiaobai said.

"What kind of thing is it?" Luo Lian interjected.

"It's a secret." Xiao Bai hugged the box tightly and smiled at Luo Lian.

The clothing store we just visited had a really large merchandise area. After Xiaobai and the other three tried on their pajamas, they had them packed up by the shop assistant. As a result, none of them knew what type of pajamas the others had chosen.

fair enough.

It's a pleasant surprise, isn't it?

Xiaobai and the other three returned to the temporary naval base. Nanxing originally wanted to ask her ship girl to come and help pay for Xiaobai's supplies, but Xiaobai gently interrupted her.

"Sister Nanxing, let's talk about calling someone over later. How about we eat the cake we just had?" Xiaobai asked with a smile.

"...I only bought three servings."

"It's okay, I'll share half with you," Xiaobai continued with a smile.

“…” Nanxing thought about it and didn’t refuse.

The four of them returned to their dormitory.

Conversations between girls are often endless. The four of them chatted in Xiaobai's dormitory. Although it was mostly Luo Lian, Nia, and Xiaobai who were talking, while Nanxing mostly sat quietly next to Xiaobai and listened, the atmosphere among them gradually became more harmonious.

With Xiaobai acting as a mediator, Nanxing's interactions with Luo Lian and Nia were noticeably more relaxed than before.

Before we knew it, night had fallen.

Nanxing missed the time to call the ship girls to help pay the bill, so she could only take out her phone and send a message to the ship girls at home saying, "I'm not going home tonight, I'll be spending the night at Admiral Lu Lin's place."

After sending the message, Nanxing stood at the entrance of Xiaobai's dormitory, waiting for the ship girls' replies.

A few seconds later, Nanxing's phone started beeping repeatedly.

Nanxing blinked as she looked at the hundreds of messages that suddenly appeared, and then clicked on the first few.

"Congratulations, Admiral!"

"Wow, let's pop the champagne!"

"Yes! Admiral, that's exactly right!"

"Take down Admiral Lu Lin tonight!"

"Admiral, even among girls, you should take precautions!"

"I heard online that you have to wash your hands thoroughly and trim your nails before doing that!"

"I can't believe I'll be able to eat red bean rice again so soon..."

"..."

Nanxing stared at the ever-increasing number of text messages on her phone, falling silent, unsure which one to reply to.

Nanxing forgot to tell the ship girls that she wasn't the only one spending the night there; there were two other female admirals as well... And Nanxing also forgot to mention that she was just there for the pajama party and wasn't there to do anything else.

Nanxing put her phone away, thinking to herself, and gently reached into her chest, pinching the necklace pendant in the center of her chest.

Nanxing fiddled with the pendant, her gaze gently shifting back to Xiaobai's dormitory.

The moonlight was strong in the corridor, and the atmosphere was dim.

The lights were bright in Xiaobai's dormitory.

"Wow... Nia, your pajamas are such a style! So mature!"

"Ugh, sob... So this isn't the type of pajamas everyone was referring to... I... I... I think I'll change back..."

"It's not necessary."

"No, no, no! It looks so good, and of course you have to wear new pajamas to a pajama party!"

"I think so too."

The three distinct, clear voices of young girls echoed in the room like a symphony, possessing a strange allure.

Chapter 3316 The Party Begins

When Nanxing returned to the dormitory, the three girls in the room had already changed into the pajamas they had bought that afternoon.

Under the bright lights, girls of different styles were chatting enthusiastically, and the air was filled with the atmosphere of youth.

The most eye-catching one is naturally Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai's pajama box was the largest of all the boxes, and such a large box naturally aroused everyone's curiosity. However, when others asked Xiao Bai what kind of pajamas she had chosen, Xiao Bai would just hold the box, which was more than half her height, and grin foolishly, refusing to reveal any information.

Now, Xiaobai's pajamas have finally been revealed to everyone.

—This is a dark green cartoon dinosaur costume.

Rather than pajamas, this outfit is more like a performance prop from a children's play.

A large cartoon mascot costume swallowed the entire white creature whole. The exposed cartoon dinosaur body looked like a large water droplet, moving slowly, bloated yet cute. Its dinosaur head was wide open, with a white creature's face showing in the center of its mouth.

This is the only part of Xiaobai's body that is exposed from beginning to end.

"Gaoh————"

Xiao Bai raised his mascot costume arm high, looking just like a real cartoon Godzilla, and shouted happily at Nia and Luo Lian.

"Xiaobai, you...you...your pajamas are just too weird!" Nia exclaimed, hugging her chest and laughing at the same time.

"What's wrong? Aren't you cute?" Little White tilted its head, its big eyes full of small doubts.

"It is cute... Ugh, how come that store even has clothes like this..." Nia said helplessly, "These clothes look like they can't let in any air, they can't even show your hands, won't they be super hot to wear in the summer?"

"It's alright, look!"

Xiaobai bent down slightly, and saw a ripple coming from inside her bulky cartoon mascot costume. Then, the zipper on her chest was pulled down with a zipper.

A pair of white arms emerged from the zipper in the middle of the cartoon costume, reached up to Nia's face, and cupped Nia's chin.

"Look, it's showing now!"

"Huh? Huh————"

“And Nia, your pajamas are even better than mine!” Xiaobai said with a smile.

"Uh... I, I'm..." Nia blushed instantly and covered her body in embarrassment.

Nia's pajamas were a rather sexy nightgown and thong.

The light flesh-colored silk fabric clung to her beautiful figure, highlighting her curves while exuding a youthful innocence. Through the thin openwork at the waist of the nightgown, one could even vaguely see her fair waist and full figure, making it a very alluring outfit.

Nia's pajamas certainly exude a sense of "decisiveness" in every way.

"I...I really thought pajama parties were all about wearing this kind of thing..." Nia clutched her waist, her chest heaving with the movement, her face flushed crimson. "I...I even went to ask Kewei and Bu Nao beforehand, and this, this style of pajama was recommended to me by them...I...Waaah...I should have known better than to listen to them..."

Nia's words were full of regret.

"So it was the style recommended by the ship girls, no wonder." Xiaobai laughed upon hearing this. She put her hands on her hips, unzipped the mascot costume at her chest, and stretched out a snow-white arm, giving Nia a thumbs up. "It's okay, Nia, this pajama is super pretty! Especially with your great figure, Nia, you look like a female character from a manga!"

"Is it...is it a proper comic..." Nia almost cried out as she asked, covering her face and not daring to look Xiaobai in the eye.

Nanxing watched the two silently from the side, her gaze shifting to Luo Lian.

Compared to Xiaobai's mascot costume and Nia's decisive pajamas, Luo Lian's pajamas seemed out of place in a normal way.

The pajamas Luo Lian bought were just normal short-sleeved and short-sleeved loungewear.

She sat next to Nia and Xiaobai, playing on her phone. Her long, slender, fair arms and legs were exposed and stretched out. The light green fabric was printed with cartoon patterns and animal images, and the phone in her hand kept beeping.

Nanxing glanced at the corridor behind the door, then gently closed it.

"Sister Nanxing, you're back!" Xiaobai greeted Nanxing, extending her arms out to her chest in a welcoming gesture. "How about it, Sister Nanxing? Aren't my pajamas amazing!"

"Hmm." Nanxing stared at Xiaobai's mascot costume and nodded.

To be honest, mascot costumes are really not suitable as pajamas, especially in summer. Just thinking about it makes me realize how stuffy they would be.

But... fortunately, Xiaobai isn't a normal human either. She has ship equipment protecting her, and her body temperature is relatively stable, so a mere mascot costume shouldn't cause her any discomfort.

Nanxing walked up to the group, looked at the three girls with different appearances, and finally his gaze fell on Luo Lian.

"Are you busy?" Nanxing asked.

"Hmm?" Luo Lian raised her head and met Nan Xing's gaze, then shrugged. "No, I'm just dealing with some aftermath of the exercise."

"The aftermath..." Nanxing asked with some curiosity.

"Do you know about the data expert who caused such a stir on the forum before, Sister Nanxing?" Xiaobai asked with a smile.
