Elder brother's garrison

"...I don't really care, but my life probably won't be that interesting, so don't complain about being bored then," Xiaobai said to Illinois.

Illinois smiled and nodded, leaning against the wall, stretching her body, and continuing to look at the street below the skylight.

Xiao Bai's gaze drifted over Illinois.

She looked at Illinois's long legs crossed, the bare, snow-white skin at the top of her thighs pressed together, creating a deep, long line. Then she looked up at the proud curves of Illinois's chest, which could not be completely covered by the fabric, beneath her black shawl.

After watching for a while, Xiaobai blushed, turned around, and straightened her posture.

Is it because of the planned ships?

There's something about Illinois's clothing and style that gives off a subtle, incredibly vulgar vibe.

Hopefully, it's just a novice's misperception.

Xiaobai controlled her gaze as much as possible, avoiding glancing at Illinois to the side, and continued to look at the secretary ship's desk.

Iowa and Missouri had finished their work handover and exchanged some documents before leaving the office.

However, at that moment, a series of light footsteps came from outside the door.

Jinan skipped and hopped into the office. As soon as she saw Xiaobai, she immediately smiled and waved to him.

"Admiral! I'm here!" Changchun looked at Xiaobai, then turned to Iowa and Missouri, "And the Admiral's wife and fiancée! You two are here too!"

"Oh my, you have such a sweet tongue." Iowa cupped her cheeks and laughed.

"Good morning, senior from Jinan." Missouri smiled and waved.

"Huh? Jinan, good morning..." Xiaobai looked at Jinan entering with some surprise. She exchanged a glance with Iahua, then smiled and asked Jinan, "I rarely see you here. What brings you here? Are you here for fun?"

"Hehe, does the Admiral welcome me?" Jinan stuck out his tongue at Xiaobai with his hands behind his back, then reached out to the door and pulled Changchun, Anshan, and 1913 into the room in front of Xiaobai. "Admiral, and also, we came together!"

Changchun and Anshan were invited into the room.

Changchun crossed her arms, her face radiating tenderness, while Anshan beside her smiled brightly and waved to Xiaobai.

"Admiral, um, excuse me..."

"Good morning, comrade. We specifically asked someone to check if it was busy here before we came. We hope we didn't disturb your work."

Behind Changchun and Anshan, 1913 was still wearing the same light green Western-style dress as yesterday.

She walked into the office, looked around, exchanged glances with all the ship girls present, smiled and nodded, and then bowed to Xiaobai, giving her a faint smile.

"Good morning, Admiral."

Extremely polite, gentle and composed, everything about 1913 was truly impeccable.

"1913, you're here too." Xiaobai greeted 1913 with a welcoming expression and said with a smile, "How are things going with Changchun and the others?"

"Thanks to the Admiral's kindness, I get along very well with Changchun and the others. I have come here today to express my gratitude to the Admiral." 1913 patted his chest and said with a smile, "Last night, the seniors Changchun told me a lot about the Admiral. I never imagined that the Admiral, at such a young age, has already experienced so many trials and tribulations and achieved so many legendary accomplishments. It is truly admirable and worthy of respect."

"Why are you saying these things too..."

Xiao Bai was amused by 1913's words and laughed.

"Me too?" 1913 asked, her gaze instinctively turning towards Illinois.

Illinois smiled but didn't say anything, only exchanging a glance with 1913.

1913 seemed to understand something. She politely withdrew her gaze and continued to smile at Xiaobai.

"The admiral's deeds are legendary and fascinating. It seems I'm not the only one who thinks so."

“I completely agree,” Illinois replied.

"If you're talking about my past, those were just things that happened naturally..." Xiaobai said to the two ship girls. After thinking for a while, she raised her hands and said, "It's nothing special."

"As Changchun said, the Admiral is as humble as ever." 1913 said, pausing for a moment as her dark eyes lingered on Xiaobai. "...Admiral, actually, the reason I came to see you this time is to ask you for a favor."

"Hmm? What's up?"

"The Admiral also learned some things about me yesterday." 1913 bowed gratefully to Xiaobai and continued, "I am not a ship that actually existed. What constitutes my body is merely a delusion from a certain era before the end of time... Yesterday, Senior Changchun and the others also told me a lot about this new world. Things are different now. In their words, the current era is just like that delusion. This matter really bothers me, so... I want to see with my own eyes how this world has really changed."

1913 spoke at length, and Xiaobai was momentarily stunned after listening.

"Um...so you mean, the world is so big, you want to go see it?" Xiaobai asked.

“That’s exactly what I meant,” 1913 said, patting his chest.

"Oh..." Xiaobai murmured softly.

I guess I understand.

What 1913 just meant was that he wanted to explore human society?

This demand is quite reasonable, and it makes even more sense when considering 1913's background.

“I understand.” Xiaobai nodded and smiled at 1913, saying, “Sure, consider it a welcome gift for joining our naval base. We’ll grant you a paid leave before you start work. Our naval base has just recently established a complete teleportation network. You can go to most of the tourist destinations in the world, wherever you want. Just tell Super Yamato.”

"Thank you, Admiral."

"Hmm... But then again, where would you like to go?" Xiaobai said casually. "Excuse me for being frank, but the world is much bigger than most people imagine. Just choosing from all the options would take several days."

"My understanding of the world today is still very limited. I wonder if the Admiral has any suitable recommendations?"

"I?"

“Indeed, Changchun said that the Admiral has traveled all over the world, so his understanding of the world must be much better than mine,” 1913 said with a smile.

"Oh...so what kind of place do you want?"

"Densely populated and prosperous is sufficient."

"...A prosperous and glorious era..."

Xiao Bai thought for a moment and scratched his head.

Just then, a series of ringing cell phones went off.

Xiaobai unconsciously glanced at the table; her phone screen was lit up, displaying a call from Nanxing.

Xiaobai looked up at the ship girls.

The ship girls gestured for Shiro to answer the phone first.

Xiao Bai awkwardly reached for her phone and answered Nan Xing's call in front of everyone.

"Hello? Sister Nanxing?"

"..."

Under the watchful eyes of all the ship girls, Xiaobai put her phone to her ear and listened quietly to the voice on the other end.

In front of everyone, Xiaobai would occasionally speak to the voice on the phone.

"Hmm? Oh... is it happening again at the hospital?"

"..."

"How's it going?"

"..."

"Oh, that's alright then, no rush. By the way, how's the patient from last time recovering?"

"..."

"Um……"

"..."

"Okay, okay, I'll be right there."

"..."

"It's alright, I'm fine here... Life is more important... Oh dear, why are you apologizing? No need, no need, it's nothing..."

"..."

"Okay, okay, that's settled then, I'll be right there."

"..."

The call ended.

Xiaobai put down his phone.

Xiao Bai looked at his phone.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Xiaobai's mind, and he looked up at 1913.

"Ah, perfect."

Chapter 3672 fits Xiaobai's XP

Xiao Bai adjusted his posture in the chair and smiled at 1913 in front of him.

"Admiral, was that call from Miss Nanxing?" Iowa asked with a smile as she held the documents.

“Yes, I made an appointment with Sister Nanxing. If she encounters any Deep Sea Aura Infected people that she can’t handle, she can ask me to come and deal with them.” Xiaobai looked at Iowa and nodded, saying, “She just called and told me that another one has arrived.”

"So, the admiral is going to Shenzhen."

“Yes…” Xiaobai nodded, her gaze shifting to 1913. “What a coincidence, Shenzhen seems to perfectly suit 1913’s needs.”

Shenzhen, where the Nanxing Garrison is located, is indeed a world-class first-tier city, with features comparable to Yuncheng and Kyoto.

At least in terms of meeting the criteria of "prosperity and flourishing in a prosperous era", Shenzhen is absolutely perfect.

Xiao Bai was still considering which city to recommend to 1913, but then Nan Xing called, and even Xiao Bai had to sincerely sigh at how coincidental this was.

"1913, what do you think of Shenzhen?" Xiaobai asked 1913 with a smile.

“Shenzhen…” 1913 listened to Xiaobai’s words and softly murmured the city’s name. Then a faint smile appeared on her face. “I don’t know much about the layout of human society, but since it’s a place recommended by the Admiral, it must meet my vision.”

“That’s great! You want to explore human society, so let’s go to Shenzhen. I also have some business to take care of there.” Xiaobai stood up and said to 1913 with a smile, “However, I’m afraid you’ll have to come with me. It might not be very comfortable.”

"It is my honor to travel with the Admiral." 1913 shook his head.

The ship girls standing nearby looked at 1913, and everyone subconsciously blinked.

"Huh? Wait a minute, how come you're suddenly going on vacation with Miss 1913 to enjoy some alone time, Admiral?" Anshan said to Xiaobai, "Admiral, isn't that a bit inappropriate for a ship girl who just joined the naval base?"

"It just so happens to be on the way... and having some alone time together would be too..."

"Comrade Admiral, I'm the one who brought him in! I want to go too! I want to go too!" Jinan immediately raised her arm, one hand on the table, her whole body rubbing against Xiaobai. "Take me with you! Take me with you!"

“Jinan…” Xiaobai instinctively hugged Jinan’s soft waist, and smiled at Jinan, “I’m just going to take care of some things… I won’t say anything about 1913 yet, I can’t stay there for too long…”

"Hmm, is the Admiral going to abandon me?" Jinan suddenly looked pitiful.

“…If you want to go, you can come with me,” Xiaobai said, rubbing Jinan’s hair.

"Wow, great!"

Jinan immediately cheered happily.

It's true what they say, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Xiao Bai ruffled Jinan's soft, pink fox-ear-like hair, then looked up and glanced at Anshan and Changchun.

Anshan looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated. Changchun, who was beside her, carefully raised her crossed hands. Her bright red eyes were filled with longing. Her lips parted and closed slightly as she looked at Xiaobai with a weak expression.

Xiaobai is truly helpless against ship girls who act cute, especially when the other party is a married ship.

Looking into Changchun's bright, expressive eyes, Xiaobai felt utterly defeated.

"Changchun, how about... you and Anshan come with me too?"

"Oh, is that okay?"

“Sure… Anyway, 1913 needs someone to keep her company… I don’t feel comfortable leaving her out alone.” Xiaobai said to 1913.

"..." 1913 smiled slightly at Xiaobai and said nothing.

Xiaobai glanced back at Illinois.

“Illinois… I remember you said you wanted to stay by my side a lot lately… Could it be…”

“The travel expenses and train fare will be deducted from my future salary.” Illinois smoothly accepted Xiaobai’s words. She put down her hand, smiled at Xiaobai and said, “If the Admiral doesn’t mind, I will stay until the Admiral does.”

"That's a pretty unique way of putting it," Xiaobai said with a smile.

For some reason, Xiaobai wasn't surprised at all that Illinois wanted to come to Shenzhen with him.

Xiaobai withdrew her gaze and looked at 1913. She said, "1913, this might be more lively than you expect..."
