Elder brother's garrison

The little girl in the dress hugged her cat doll, her gaze lingering on Veneto for a long time.

"That's strange. Does the construction equipment in this world have a function that allows you to tell other people the names of ship girls before construction even begins?" The little girl in the dress didn't deny Veneto's words. She gently asked everyone, "How exactly do you know my name?"

"Oh my, it really is Littorio!"

The ship girls behind Xiaobai finally showed expressions of surprise upon hearing the words of the girl in the Western dress.

It seems that the company's establishment was indeed a perfect match from the start.

As expected of a company, their good fortune is reassuring.

So this is what Littorio, the naval commander of the newbie naval base, looks like...

It's really fun.

Everyone had assumed she would be a tall, older sister like Littorio from Nia's family, but when she actually appeared, they discovered that she was actually petite and cute, just like Veneto.

Such a contrast...

Ah!

They're sisters after all!

This is a good option!

With Veneto as a shining example, the ship girls present accepted Littorio's appearance, which was somewhat contrary to the ancestors of battleships, with remarkable ease and naturalness.

“Our world doesn’t have a construction device that can display ship names…” At this moment, Xiaobai finally suppressed her surprise. She smiled and spoke to the little girl in the dress in front of her, extending her hand to her, “We know your name because of one of our ship girls. Hmm… let’s go through the formalities first—welcome, Littorio, I am your admiral, it’s nice to meet you.”

The white hand that was reaching out to Littorio was suspended in mid-air.

Littorio held the cat plush toy in his arms, his emerald green eyes fixed on the back of Xiaobai's hand.

After observing for a while, a hint of approval appeared on Littorio's delicate face. She nodded slightly, continuing to hold the cat plush toy in one hand, and extended her other hand, gently placing it on Xiaobai's palm like a light cat's paw.

"Although I was a little rude at first, I'll take your lovely appearance as a sign of your surprise at my arrival." Littorio gently squeezed Xiaobai's hand and said to her, "I'm also very happy to meet you, my future admiral. The second ship of the Italian Veneto-class battleship, reporting for duty, is Littorio. Let's walk hand in hand on the road ahead."

As Littorio spoke, the air seemed to faintly carry the aroma of desserts and coffee.

The ship girls watched Littorio with great interest.

This girl... well... in a way, she's a perfect blend of politeness and pride...

Little White held Littorio's small hand and shook it up and down with a smile.

After a brief self-introduction, Xiaobai had the ship girls behind her introduce themselves to Littorio one by one.

Littorio, like a quiet kitten, stared at the crowd with his bright green eyes.

"Littorio, this is Changchun, I am a guided-missile destroyer, it's a pleasure to meet you." Changchun smiled and patted her chest as she spoke to Littorio.

"Just call me Super Yamato." Super Yamato nodded.

"My name is Enterprise, and I'm the one who built you." Enterprise grinned, poking its own cheek with its slender fingers.

"Me! Me! Me! Me! It's my turn! I'm Roma! The third ship of the Veneto class!" Roma raised her arms high, as if afraid that Littorio wouldn't see her.

"..." Littorio's emerald green eyes widened slightly when he heard Rome's self-introduction.

"I am the Empire." The Empire, drowsy at the back, was pulled up by Rome. Rome whispered something in the Empire's ear, and then the Empire bowed slightly to Littorio, its eyes still sleepy, "Hello, Sister Littorio..."

"..." Littorio's emerald green eyes opened completely.

“Finally, I am Veneto.” Finally, it was time for the grand finale. Veneto stepped forward under everyone's gaze, cleared her throat, placed one hand on her chest, and looked at Littorio with an inclusive and gentle gaze. “Welcome, Littorio, from now on we are family.”

Veneto rarely shows such gentleness in front of others.

But looking at the nearly identical figures of Veneto and Littorio, everyone suddenly realized that it wasn't so strange that Veneto would welcome Littorio so warmly.

"So there are already three other Veneto-class ship girls in our naval base?" Littorio asked the group. "Judging from the order, I'm the last one to report here?"

"It looks like this."

“It’s quite an amazing result,” Littorio continued to the crowd. “To be able to gather my other three sisters at the same time, it seems this naval base is more prosperous than I imagined.”

"It's alright, it's alright." Xiaobai smiled, pursing her lips.

After Littorio appeared on the construction floor, the staff of the Admiral's Guild quickly arrived.

With Xiaobai's permission, the staff carried various instruments and conducted a detailed evaluation of Littorio's ship equipment as soon as he stepped out of the construction unit.

Littorio seemed to be someone who could handle big scenes. Although it was the first time in her life that she had been surrounded by people, she did not show any embarrassment. When the staff wanted to collect data on her ship equipment, she looked at Xiaobai. After Xiaobai nodded in acknowledgment, she released her ship equipment while still holding the cat plushie.

The group went to the floor where the ship equipment was being evaluated, and after a series of tests, the evaluation results for Littorio's ship equipment were quickly obtained.

"Admiral, the test is over. Can we go back to the naval base now?" After leaving the testing room, Littorio came to Xiaobai, holding a cat plushie in her arms, and said calmly, "I just heard from the people here that this is not our naval base, but the main story area of ​​Chapter 8. If you could let me go back to the naval base first to choose my accommodation, I would be very grateful."

As Littorio spoke, the staff followed him out of the testing room. They compiled and bound a thick stack of ship equipment information data about Littorio and respectfully handed it to Xiaobai.

Littorio glanced sideways at the staff bowing respectfully to Xiaobai, handing over the documents with both hands, and then retreating at Xiaobai's smiling gesture. A hint of curiosity flashed in her emerald green eyes.

“Yes, it’s time to go home.” Xiaobai nodded, flipping through the documents in her hand, and said to Littorio, “But before I go home, could you give me two hours?”

"Of course, what does the Admiral need to do?"

"I have some work to finish here, and I need to take care of it before I go home," Xiaobai said with a smile.

"……Work?"

“Oh my…” Roma leaned close to Littorio and whispered in her ear, “Our admiral is not only an admiral, but also the president of the Admiral Guild of Chapter Eight.”

"...President..."

Littorio murmured, seemingly somewhat surprised, as she looked at Little White.

Facing Littorio's gaze, Xiaobai smiled without saying a word.

……

With Xiaobai's current work ability, if she goes all out, she can easily finish a day's work in less than an hour.

After leaving the evaluation floor with the newborn Littorio and the other ship girls, Shiro returned to Luo Yingying's office.

Inside the office, Luo Yingying was standing in front of her beloved coffee machine, her back to the door, brewing herself a calming coffee.

"Sigh... Although Admiral Lu Lin came back so early, on the bright side, at least I haven't messed up my work lately..." Luo Yingying muttered to herself, leaning against the coffee machine. "I hope Admiral Lu Lin can stay on the construction floor for a few more hours, or even better, until the end of the day..."

Chapter 3477 A Complete Makeover: Little White's Home

From Luo Yingying's personal perspective, she wished that Xiaobai would be like the other guild leaders of the admirals' guilds (specifically referring to the second chapter), preferably spending his days outside indulging in pleasure and neglecting his duties, and never coming back to the guild to even glance at it.

However, Xiaobai was still too responsible.

How can she be so responsible!

She had only been away from the guild for three months, but she couldn't resist coming back for a final look.

Luo Yingying didn't mind working for Xiaobai all the time, nor did she mind taking on all the work of the Admiral's Guild for Xiaobai when he was away. For her, the workload was a minor matter. She had long been used to such heavy work in the Inland Governor's Mansion over the past few years. Compared to work, she was more concerned about the major issue of personal safety.

Thinking of this, Luo Yingying sighed as she was making coffee.

Judging from his achievements, Admiral Lu Lin was indeed a good admiral.

But the only downside is that she always seems to appear in front of me...

It would be even better if she could only live on in legends...

"Miss Yingying, what did you just say? You want to leave work?" Just then, a soft voice called out from behind Luo Yingying.

Luo Yingying, who was brewing coffee, was shocked. She turned around in astonishment and looked at the snow-white female admiral who had appeared behind her at some unknown time.

"Lu, Lu...President Lu Lin?! You...how come you're back so soon???" Luo Yingying was utterly shocked. "Weren't you going to build a huge multi-story building?"

“Yes.” Xiaobai nodded, reached behind her and pulled Littorio out of the crowd, looking at Luo Yingying as if it were the most natural thing in the world, “See, that’s why the goods were shipped.”

"Ah this..."

Luo Yingying stared blankly at Littorio.

It's only been a short time... From the time Admiral Lu Lin and his party entered the construction floor until now, it's only been a dozen minutes, right?

Shipped so quickly...

Are ship girls really that easy to build?

Is Admiral Lu Lin sure she didn't just pull a ship girl out of nowhere and insist she built her herself...?

"Hello." Littorio looked up and spoke to Luo Yingying, her gaze sweeping over the coffee machine emitting a pleasant aroma. "Do you like coffee too?"

"Uh...yes, yes..."

"Could I have a drink?"

"...Children should not drink coffee."

“You are being very rude,” Littorio said to Luo Yingying without changing his expression. “I am not a child. I am a battleship, a mature lady. If you want to verify whether what I said is true, you can make me a cup of espresso. That is my fuel. Children don’t appreciate such things.”

"Huh?" Luo Yingying looked at Littorio blankly.

“Yes, she’s a battleship.” Veneto nodded seriously and said to Luo Yingying, “She’s not a child, she’s a mature lady.”

"Um... okay, okay..."

Luo Yingying seemed to realize she had said something wrong. She quickly nodded, put the coffee she had just made aside, and continued operating the coffee machine in front of her.

Although Luo Yingying drinks coffee every day, she is not actually a coffee fanatic. The coffee machine she uses is not a professional extraction coffee machine, but a capsule coffee machine that costs only a few hundred yuan.

After all, we're just corporate slaves...

For office workers, having a hot coffee to keep them awake at work is enough; they simply don't have the time to use a fancy coffee machine with complicated operating procedures and troublesome cleaning.

As for the Espresso that Littorio mentioned, Luo Yingying scratched her head and thought for a while. Although she didn't know much about high-end coffee, judging from her tone just now, it seemed to be a type of coffee that was not suitable for children's tastes. In that case, it was probably a coffee with a stronger flavor.

Anyway, Luo Yingying's capsule coffee machine couldn't brew any fancy coffee. To put it bluntly, it's just a convenient instant coffee machine with very little room for manipulation. All Luo Yingying could do was add as little water as possible and serve it without sugar.

A few minutes later, Luo Yingying brought out a cup of coffee with less water and no sugar, served in a disposable paper cup, and carefully bent down to hand it to Littorio.

"Miss, here is your coffee."

“Thank you for sharing, dear lady.” Littorio stepped forward, holding the cat plush toy under his arm, and accepted the coffee with both hands.

Littorio, holding the paper cup, returned to the position of holding the doll in one hand. She closed her eyes slightly and took a sip of coffee from the paper cup, her face expressionless.

"How are you feeling?" Luo Yingying asked.

“Hmm, so this is what coffee tastes like,” Littorio replied.

"...So you've never had coffee before..."

“I’ve only been out of the construction device for less than twenty minutes,” Littorio said to Luo Yingying. “Everything in this world is brand new to me.”

“Okay… so you really are a ship girl that was built…” Luo Yingying murmured softly.

"Sorry? What did you just say?"

"No, it's nothing..." Luo Yingying laughed awkwardly, then quickly looked at Xiaobai, "Admiral Lu Lin, congratulations... you've created another powerful ship girl."

"Thank you for your congratulations." Xiaobai smiled and said to Luo Yingying, "Miss Yingying, where are the president's duties for today? Just give them to me and I'll start working on them right away."

"Ah...yes, I've already put the relevant documents for the president's work on your office floor." Luo Yingying quickly said, "I've also organized all the work-related documents and materials and put them there. If you want to check the work details for the first three months, I've also compiled them and put them at the top of the list of documents."

"Oh... as expected of Miss Yingying, she's so reliable." Xiaobai couldn't help but give Luo Yingying a thumbs up. "You were just talking about the office floor, right... so does that mean my office lobby is already finished?"

"Yes, the renovation was completed a month ago, according to your requirements."

"Since the renovation was completed a month ago... why didn't you call me back..."

"Of course, I hope you have a great time while you're out..." Luo Ying laughed awkwardly, wiping the fine sweat from her forehead. "As for work... Admiral Lu Lin, don't worry, my job is to ensure you have no worries... well..."

"Miss Yingying, I'll definitely give you a raise in my performance review next month." Xiaobai gave Luo Yingying a thumbs up, feeling touched.

"Then I'll thank President Lu Lin in advance..." Luo Yingying smiled bitterly.

So, does Admiral Lu Lin mean that she'll be staying for at least a month this time...?

Luo Yingying suddenly felt that her future life was bleak.

Having said goodbye to Luo Yingying, Xiaobai led the ship girls into the guild's private elevator, climbing all the way up to the office hall.

Along the way, the ship girls surrounded Littorio, chatting and laughing, introducing her to everything around them and sharing information about the newbie naval base.

Veneto, in particular, treated Littorio with a completely different attitude than she had towards Rome. All the way there, she kept adjusting Littorio's beautiful dress, touching her shoulders and head with such gentle, tender eyes that you'd think she was looking at a younger sister, or even a daughter.

Roma, watching her boss's obvious satisfaction with Littorio, couldn't help but pout, her eyes filled with resentment.

……

The elevator arrived at the top floor, and everyone entered Xiaobai's office lobby.
