Elder brother's garrison

The researchers gritted their teeth, clutching the garbage bags, and looked at the petite girl in front of them, a stubborn look suddenly appearing in their eyes.

If a little girl can lift something, why can't we grown men do it?

Oh shit!

If this gets out, that would be the most embarrassing thing ever!

The researchers gritted their teeth and, in pairs, lifted the heavy garbage bags once again.

Actually, the weight of each of the garbage bags in Xiaobai's hands wasn't exaggerated too much; at least a healthy adult man wouldn't find it too strenuous to lift them.

However, these researchers live a life of luxury every day and do almost no physical labor. Muscles naturally atrophy when they are idle for too long, and over time they naturally become weak and incompetent.

"Miss Admiral, leave the trash to us, you don't need to worry about it!" The researchers said one after another, moving the trash bags with all their might, trying their best to appear relaxed as they moved towards the elevator.

"Thank you, you are all such kind people." Xiaobai smiled at the researchers.

The researchers, afraid of losing their strength, secretly bit their cheeks and dragged the garbage bags along.

Xiaobai watched the researchers' retreating figures, stood there for a while, and then called out to them.

"Um... I'll pass on the message about Yubari as soon as possible," Shiro said.

Upon hearing Xiaobai's voice, the researchers' eyes widened and their mouths agape as they released the heavy garbage bags.

The garbage bag landed on the ground with a thud, splashing up a cloud of white ash.

"Thank you, Admiral! Thank you so much!!!"

The researchers were overjoyed, grateful, and moved to tears. They bowed, raised their hands, hugged and kissed the garbage bags, and crawled around excitedly.

With a smile, Xiaobai watched as the researchers in front of her began to go crazy.

These researchers are quite energetic...

The researchers dragged their garbage bags into the elevator and disappeared from Xiaobai's sight.

Xiao Bai closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief.

Behind Xiaobai, Changchun and Chaoda exchanged a glance.

"Admiral, are you going to help them call Yubari-nee back to Kyoto?" Changchun asked curiously.

"Huh? Is that so?" Xiaobai looked at Changchun.

"But you just agreed to them..."

"I only said I would help pass on the message. As for whether Yubari will come back or not, that depends on her decision..." Shiro said with a smile.

"Oh—" Changchun understood.

“However, the ship equipment research center in Kyoto seems to really need Yubari…” Xiaobai added, “If Yubari is willing to come back, I have no objection, since the teleportation anchor point in Kyoto has already been built… right?”

As Xiaobai finished speaking, he smiled and looked at Chao Yamato.

As soon as the topic turned to her, Chao Dahe nodded quickly, her head bobbing like a squirrel cracking a nut.

After closing the door, Xiaobai led Changchun, Chaoda, and others back to the living room.

Although Yubari has been away from home for more than a year, her electricity bill, internet bill, property management fee, and even the cost of using internet TV have all been paid on time.

Xiaobai vaguely remembers that Yubari had previously deposited several decades' worth of living expenses into this house.

It has to be said that Yubari lives a very wealthy life.

The three of them huddled together on the sofa, snuggled close together, turned on the TV, and watched TV for a little while.

While watching TV, Xiaobai also took out his phone, opened his social media app, and sent a message to Yubari.

"Yubari, I've arrived in Kyoto and am currently at your house. Remember to reply if you see this!"

After sending the message, Xiaobai held her phone and stared at the screen for a while.

Yubari's profile picture is lit up, but her friend status is "temporarily away," so she's probably doing some ship equipment experiments with Vestal right now.

Xiaobai wasn't in a hurry. She turned off her phone and put it inside her clothes.

"Admiral, we threw away all the expired food at Yubari-nee's house. What should we eat later?" Changchun leaned gently against Xiaobai at this moment, turning her head to ask Xiaobai. Beneath her neatly combed white hair, her large red eyes were bright and sparkling, like rubies buried in a stream.

“I have ingredients in my ship equipment… and ready-made food.” Xiaobai replied, but after thinking for a while, she still spoke to Changchun, “Hmm… but it’s a rare trip to Kyoto, it would be too boring to eat the things in the ship equipment. After we rest, let’s go downstairs to some familiar places and find some local snacks.”

"Great!" Changchun's face immediately lit up with a smile when she heard that she could go out with Xiaobai.

Changchun hugged Xiaobai's arm, her face beaming with delight. Her slender, soft body pressed against Xiaobai's, and Xiaobai's arm immediately sank a little closer to Changchun.

Xiao Bai immediately sensed it.

Xiao Bai turned her head and pressed her face against Changchun's forehead, closed her eyes, and carefully felt the touch coming from Changchun's body.

The TV was still playing a drama series.

The TV series is lively and bustling. The characters played by the actors argue, reconcile, and then argue again. Some play the bad cop, some play the good cop, and some are caught in the middle, not pleasing anyone.

Xiaobai was sandwiched between Changchun and Chaoda, her head turned towards Changchun, snuggling close to him.

Chao Dahe was engrossed in watching the TV series. She bent down and picked up a red apple from the coffee table, took a bite, and her pointed, snow-white chin and cheeks bulged as she chewed. However, her gaze did not leave the TV program for even a moment.

Several hours passed peacefully like this.

The sky outside the window gradually darkened.

Seeing that it was about time, Xiaobai led the two newlyweds out the door and left the community.

After leaving the residential area, Changchun looked around and sighed to Xiaobai.

"Admiral, that's truly rare."

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Xiaobai asked.

"Those people obediently went back after receiving your reply, Admiral. I thought they would wait outside for us to come out," Changchun said honestly.

“People who do scientific research are actually very busy…” Xiaobai smiled when she heard this. “It’s already very kind of them to take the time to visit us in person. If they were still waiting for us to come out of the community, they would never finish their work.”

"Oh! Is that so! What the admiral said makes sense!" Changchun nodded repeatedly.

Chapter 3413 Delicious

Since it's a rare opportunity to come to Kyoto, Xiaobai wanted to experience the local customs and culture, so eating some down-to-earth food was much better than going to a fancy restaurant.

As for Kyoto's snacks...

Xiaobai had done her homework before coming; she had already looked up relevant information on the way and was just waiting to use it at this moment.

"Hey! Little girls, your three-person serving of our signature braised pork with iced soy milk and sausage is ready."

At a street stall, tourists came and went all around.

A middle-aged man with the marks of time on his skin grinned, revealing a set of white teeth. With a gentle wave of his thick arm, he pushed the snacks ordered by Xiaobai and his two companions over.

"Braised pork should be eaten while it's hot!"

"Thank you uncle."

"That's 182 yuan in total! Let me round it down. The young lady looks kind, so just give me 180!"

"Thank you uncle!"

Xiao Bai took out two red bills and put them into the stall owner's money bag, then took the change from the stall owner's hand, and then carried the plate back to his seat.

This area of ​​stalls was mostly filled with tourists, and among them were quite a few people taking selfies while holding braised pork offal.

Besides tourists, there were also some people with particularly distinctive outfits who were live-streaming on their phones, eating braised pork offal while talking non-stop into their phones.

"Hey friends, this braised pork offal is absolutely authentic!"

A lean person with a long braid at the back of their neck, dressed in a strange outfit that looked like it came from decades ago, kept making large one-arm swings in front of their phone, and finally gave a thumbs up.

Xiao Bai returned to his seat, while Changchun and Chaoda sat on either side of him, looking around at the tourists.

"Admiral, is this the place with the local delicacies?" Changchun asked curiously, turning his gaze away from the area.

“Yes, I saw on the travel app that these stalls are really popular. A lot of people say that you can eat the most classic Kyoto flavors here.” Xiaobai sat down between the two of them with a tray in her arms, and then placed three servings of douzhi (fermented mung bean juice) and three servings of luzhu (braised pork offal) in front of the three of them. “I ordered the food based on the recommendations on the travel app.”

"Uh...this taste...isn't it spoiled?"

Changchun looked at the fermented mung bean juice with curiosity.

Soybean juice is a beverage that is somewhere between yellow and green and has a strong fermented flavor.

"It smells like that, but the reviews all say it tastes great," Xiaobai said.

"Ah... I see."

Changchun carefully held the fermented bean juice, then looked at the braised pork offal.

The so-called "luzhu" is a bowl of dark, murky food piled with all sorts of oddly shaped ingredients.

"Admiral, this is..."

"This is braised pork offal."

What's cooking in here?

"Internal organs like large intestine, lungs, and liver, and flatbread... that's what I saw in the comments."

"..." Changchun fell silent. She stared at the dark, murky braised pork in front of her, and suddenly her forehead broke out in a sweat. She nervously swallowed.

"It looks a bit strange, but it might taste really good. This is the most authentic Kyoto flavor," Xiaobai said from the side, then picked up the cup of soy milk, put the straw in her mouth and took a sip.

Changchun, who was standing nearby, also tried scooping up a piece of braised pork offal with a spoon and putting it in his mouth.

Xiao Bai took a sip of soy milk.

Xiaobai, with soy milk in her mouth, and Changchun, with braised pork offal in her mouth, stood there dumbfounded.

After a while, Xiaobai's eyebrows twitched, and Changchun also lowered his head slightly, his shoulders trembling.

"hiss……"

Xiaobai and Changchun shuddered almost simultaneously. They covered their mouths and swallowed what was in their mouths, then looked at the food in front of them with some fear in their eyes.

"Admiral... this, are there really many people who say this is delicious?" Changchun was so upset that he almost cried.

"..." Xiaobai remained silent.

its not right.

Some people on travel apps say this is delicious...

Why does it taste so... well... not bad... it's just... the regional flavor is too strong... I'm a bit having trouble accepting it at first...

The taste that had just filled Xiaobai's mouth echoed in his ears—a strange, tangy sensation that reached the roots of his teeth—making him cover his mouth.

Although saying this might be a bit abrupt...

However... Xiaobai might not like drinking soy milk.

Xiaobai and Changchun took a deep breath, put down their soy milk and braised pork, and exchanged food.

Xiao Bai and Chang Chun lowered their heads and took another bite.

The next second, the two of them were trembling again.

The atmosphere around them remained lively, with tourists taking selfies non-stop. The online blogger who had just performed a one-armed greatspin received a rocket donation and immediately performed a genuine one-armed greatspin in front of his phone.

Xiao Bai let go of the hand as if her soul had left her body, and sighed as she looked up at the sky.

"What the travel apps say... could it all be a lie...? Are things like douzhi (fermented mung bean juice) and luzhu (stewed pork offal) really suitable for people from other places...?"

Little White murmured softly.

But just then, a crisp sound of a bowl falling reached Xiaobai's ears.

Xiao Bai turned his head to look.

Chao Da wiped her mouth with one hand, put the empty bowl of braised pork back on the table, and then, under the astonished gazes of Xiao Bai and Chang Chun, picked up her share of soy milk, lowered her head, and gulped it down with a straw.

After finishing their braised pork and soy milk, Chaoda turned his gaze to Xiaobai and Changchun's table, staring at the almost untouched food in front of them.

"Admiral, Miss Changchun, aren't you going to eat?" Chao Yamato asked.

"Uh... this..." Xiaobai thought for a moment, then asked the Super Yamato, "...Super Yamato, do you think it's delicious?"

"Mmm, it's especially delicious." Super Big nodded, his eyes sincere, as if they were shining. "This is the most delicious thing I've ever eaten since I came to the human world."

"……Eh?"

"Admiral, aren't you going to eat?"
