Elder brother's garrison

It's huge and I'm sleepy.

The best way to restore physical strength is to sleep; this is a habit ingrained deep within human DNA.

Although Ultra-Wa is not human, she has similar habits to humans, so sleep is the best way for her to restore her strength.

"Admiral," Chao Dahe called out softly.

"I'm here."

"Say something..." both the loud and soft voices began, "I want to hear you speak..."

"Huh? Well, shall I tell you a story?"

"Ah."

"Once upon a time, there was a man named Xiao Yan. He had excellent grades since childhood, but one day his grades began to stagnate, and eventually the people who had arranged his marriage came to break off the engagement..." Xiao Bai began.

Super Big and listening, I closed my eyes.

By the time Xiao Bai finished telling the story of Xiao Yan meeting the old man inside the ring, Chao Da He was already fast asleep on the bed.

Xiao Bai closed her mouth at the right moment and tried to loosen her grip on the oversized hand.

Xiao Bai got up, straightened Chao Da's sleeping position, gently covered her with a blanket, then sat on the edge of the bed and patted her high chest through the blanket.

"Super Yamato, sweet dreams."

Xiaobai leaned forward and gave the sleeping Chao Yamato a light, fleeting kiss on the lips.

Xiao Bai touched his lips, smacked his lips, and his expression immediately turned helpless.

"...This kiss, it even tastes like soy milk again..." Xiaobai muttered to herself. She carefully got up and tiptoed out of the room.

In her sleep, Chao Da and Wei Wei turned over slightly. She subconsciously pursed her lips, stuck out her tongue and licked her lips, then hugged the blanket and started chewing on her own.

……

Xiaobai left Chaoda's dormitory and gently closed the door.

Just after Xiaobai closed the door, Nia's voice called out from not far away.

"Little White—I'm back!"

Xiao Bai stopped what she was doing, turned her head to look at the other end of the corridor, and saw Nia smiling and waving on the floor in the distance, running towards her.

On the way back to the dormitory with Xiaobai carrying Chaodahe, Nia had just gone to disperse the crowd in order to avoid Xiaobai attracting too much attention. Now that Xiaobai had just finished with Chaodahe, she was back.

"Nia, you're back." Little White stood there, smiling and waving at Nia.

"Sorry, sorry, I was surrounded by the ship girls asking me about you guys, so I couldn't come back right away and only just managed to get away now." Nia jogged up to Xiaobai, her face flushed and panting, and stuck out her tongue at Xiaobai apologetically. "Oh, speaking of which, how's it going with Miss Super-Dawa?"

"She's doing well. She's probably exhausted from teleporting too many people at once, and she just fell asleep," Xiaobai said to Nia. "I just came out of her dorm."

"Oh...it's good that she's asleep." Nia looked at the super-Yamato's dorm room, nodded, and said to Shiro, "If she's just tired, with her healthy constitution, she'll be a strong woman again after a good night's sleep!"

"Mmm..."

"Oh, right, Little White." Nia held up a finger, as if she had just remembered something, and said to Little White, "I have something else to say!"

"What is it?"

"The reason I was able to escape is because while I was being held up by the ship girls, things suddenly got lively over at the training ground." Nia gestured with her hands towards Xiaobai. "I heard that your Veneto-class ship girls are going to have a friendly match with our Veneto-class ship girls, and now a lot of ship girls have gone there to see what's going on!"

"Huh? My Veneto-class and your Veneto-class?" Xiaobai asked in surprise. "I remember Littorio's level is only 1, right? Why are they fighting?"

"I don't know..."

"Forehead……"

“And I’ve also heard that other ship girls are going to join the battle,” Nia continued.

"Who else?"

"Hmm...it seems like there are also Iowa-class girls?"

"Missouri and the others too? We can't miss this exercise!" Upon hearing that Iowa-class ship girls were going to participate, Xiaobai immediately grabbed Nia's hand with a serious expression and said hurriedly, "We have to hurry over and see what's going on!"

Chapter 3484 Veneto Class vs. Veneto Class

When Xiaobai and Nia arrived at the training ground, the surrounding open space had already been completely surrounded by ship girls who had come to watch the spectacle. The training ground, which was not very large to begin with, was surrounded by layers upon layers of colorful ship girls. At a glance, the crowd was dense and shoulder to shoulder, and the atmosphere was incredibly lively and noisy.

"There are quite a lot of people here."

Xiaobai and Nia stood outside the crowd, tentatively tiptoeing to find a gap to enter, but no matter how they searched, the impenetrable crowd in front of them was like a concrete wall, giving them no space to get in at all.

"We can't get in, there's no way we can get in no matter how hard we try." Nia looked helplessly at the crowd in front of her and said to Xiaobai, "Xiaobai, how about we find a higher place to look? But that might be a bit far..."

"Hmm...it's not impossible..."

Xiaobai nodded.

For Xiaobai, the distance of the viewing distance is not a problem. As long as she can see what is happening in the training field, she doesn't care where she is.

Xiaobai and Nia were about to turn around and find a slightly farther and higher open space when, just before they left, the nearby ship girls seemed to have heard their conversation and turned around one after another.

"Huh? I think I just heard the Commander's voice..."

The ship girls from Nia's family turned around, looked around, and quickly found Xiaobai and the other two who were about to leave.

"Hey! Commander, and Admiral Lu Lin, you're here!"

"Are you here to watch the battle on the training field too?"

"Commander, Admiral Lu Lin, where are you going?! Over here!!!"

The ship girls immediately cheered enthusiastically.

Xiaobai and Nia stopped and looked at the ship girls.

"Oh, hello everyone..." Xiaobai greeted the ship girls.

"It's you guys." As the admiral of these ship girls, Nia smiled and nodded, saying to the ship girls, "Yes, Xiaobai and I are going to find a spot to watch the show on the training field."

"Oh, so the Commander and Admiral Lu Lin are here to watch the show!"

Upon hearing Nia's words, the ship girls immediately understood and smiled. Then they all ran up, grabbed Xiaobai and Nia's arms, and walked towards the crowd.

"Hey, Admiral Lu Lin, Commander, you two shouldn't go outside to look... If you just called out, we would have made room for you..."

The ship girls, while holding onto the two admirals, laughed and shouted to the dense crowd ahead.

"Stop right, make way! Admiral Lu Lin is here! Commander is here!"

"...Huh?! Admiral Lu Lin is here?!"

"When did Admiral Lu Lin return?"

"Commander, are you heading to the training grounds? Quick, make way!"

"Make way, everyone, the commander is here!"

As the ship girls shouted, the crowd in front reacted immediately. The ship girls turned around in surprise to look at Xiaobai and the other two. The previously impenetrable human wall cracked instantly in the midst of these shouts, making way for them.

In just a few breaths, a long road appeared directly from Xiaobai's side to the spectator stands of the training ground.

The ship girls smiled and gently nudged the two admirals from behind, helping them into the crowd. Xiaobai and Nia nodded and smiled shyly at the ship girls on either side of them, accepting their kindness despite feeling a little embarrassed.

With no obstacles along the way, Xiaobai and Nia arrived at the spectator stands of the training ground.

It's quite interesting that even though the open space near the training ground was almost completely occupied by the ship girls, the three best seats in the spectator stands were still empty, as if the ship girls had deliberately reserved them for the three admirals.

Xiaobai and Nia walked up to the spectator stands and took their seats.

"Admiral, you've arrived." Just as Xiaobai took her seat, a clear voice rang out behind her.

"Hey, Changchun, you're here too."

Xiaobai turned around and saw three ship girls, Changchun, Jinan, and Anshan, standing behind her.

Anshan stood close to Changchun with her arms crossed. When she saw Xiaobai looking at her, Anshan smiled slightly at Xiaobai. Her appearance was already quite similar to Changchun's, but the main reason why they could be distinguished at a glance was the obvious difference in their temperament. So when the two of them stood together, there was a wonderful feeling of the sun and moon alternating.

"Admiral, Admiral!" Jinan raised his arm and greeted him with a soft smile.

Xiao Bai waved to Anshan and Jinan respectively.

It seems the battles of the Veneto-class ships are really captivating... even so many newbie ship girls from the naval base have come.

Xiaobai looked around and was somewhat surprised to find that there were also many newbie naval captains and deep-sea deans around her.

After settling into his chair, Xiaobai turned his gaze to the water surface of the training field below.

The ship girls' exercises often require a period of preparation, so Xiaobai and Nia's group arrived at a reasonable time. When they arrived, the battle on the water had not yet begun.

Xiaobai pretended to take out a telescope and looked at the water. She saw her four Veneto-class ship girls chatting in the preparation area. Veneto was lecturing Rome with her arms crossed, and Rome was listening attentively with a bent-over expression. Behind Rome, Empire was holding a book with her head drooping, looking like she was about to fall asleep. Finally, Littorio next to Empire was holding a cat plush toy and looking around at the ship girls watching the battle with great interest.

As the "newest" ship girl in the newbie naval base, Littorio naturally attracted the attention of almost everyone.

Littorio's expression was quite interesting. Despite being only a few years old, she showed no fear whatsoever when surrounded by so many people. She stood there calmly like a doll, her bright green eyes sweeping over the entire scene with a nonchalant and lazy air, as if she were saying, "It's not you who are observing me, but me who is observing you."

For a fleeting moment, Xiaobai, who was holding the binoculars, met Littorio's gaze.

Littorio stopped surveying the surroundings and stared at Xiaobai for a while.

“Littorio, you’ve only just stepped out of the construction facility. Your training level is your weakness. You’ll need the cover of Rome and the Empire for the battles to come.” Just then, Veneto’s voice reached Littorio’s ears.

Littorio withdrew his gaze and looked at Veneto.

Veneto seemed to have already discussed the details of the match with Roma. She crossed her arms and looked at Littorio with a kind of elder sisterly concern in her eyes.

"Don't rush the battle in the upcoming drills. Let Rome hold the front lines and observe their fighting," Veneto said. "In the first battle, try to make survival the ultimate goal, okay?"

“I’m fine with it.” Littorio glanced at Rome and nodded.

"Wow... This is the first time I've ever seen the boss teach someone so gently..." Roma, standing to the side, pouted and muttered to herself, clearly disapproving.

“If you say another word, I’ll give you extra training after the exercise,” Veneto said to Roma.

"Big Sister, no!" Rome immediately covered her head in her hands.

The training area was instantly filled with a joyful atmosphere of doubled training intensity.

Compared to the preparation area for the newbie naval girls, the preparation area at Nia Naval Base on the other side of the training field is not so relaxed and free.

The Veneto-class ship girls of the Nia family are currently busy preparing their ship equipment.

"Littorio, how's the ship equipment preparation going?" Nia's Veneto nervously swallowed, her silver-gray eyes filled with apprehension as she looked at the tall, green-haired ship girl not far away.

“Hmm…” Nia’s Littorio was clearly not focused on the ship’s equipment. She was currently crossing her arms and looking with great interest at the preparation area at the other end of the exercise field.

"Hey! Littorio, what time is it! We're about to face the instructors!" Nia's Veneto frowned and spoke up unhappily when she saw this.

"Oh, sorry, sorry." Upon hearing Veneto's voice, Littorio looked away and smiled at the silver-haired ship girl in front of her. "Isn't this Admiral Lu Lin also building another version of me? I didn't expect that the other version of me would be so tiny. I'm really curious and can't help but want to take a look."

“Sigh…we’re going to have a drill with the instructors later…” Veneto sighed helplessly, though she understood. “And there are so many people watching…Admiral Lu Lin and the Commander just arrived…you should at least be a little more serious…”

“I will do my best,” Littorio nodded.

“Sister Veneto, please don’t worry.” Roma from the Nia family stepped forward, placed her hand on Veneto’s shoulder, and said gently, “Although we don’t have a high chance of winning this exercise, we will do our best no matter what. Whether it’s Littorio, the Empire, or me, we have decided to show everyone the progress we have made during this period, haven’t we?”

“Rome…you’re definitely the most reliable person here.” Veneto looked at Rome’s heterochromatic eyes with a grateful expression.

Littorio, standing to the side, shrugged and smiled silently.

……

The ship girls watching the exercise were still making noise around the field.

The ship girls pulled out popcorn, drinks, and video recorders.

After a period of preparation, the ship girls in both preparation zones had finished equipping themselves and discussed the battle plan for the exercise.

This exercise battle seemed to have no referee; the ship girls from both sides, relying on instinct and tacit understanding, took to the surface after preparing their ship equipment.

Under the sunlight, bursts of white light appeared one after another.

One after another, large, snow-white ships appeared on the water's surface, like rising fortresses.

Chapter 3485 Go, little sister!

In the battle between the Veneto-class and Veneto-class ships, the eight ship girls coordinated their movements, maintaining distance and taking their positions.

There was no flare gun.

No password.

There wasn't even a coin-flipping game.

The eight ship girls faced each other across almost half of the training ground. As they assumed their battle stances, a single change in their gaze was enough to convey the commands for a battle.
