Elder brother's garrison

After Jinan finished speaking, he disappeared into the distance, leaving only a pink afterimage.

Xiaobai withdrew her gaze and looked at the ship girls present.

"Question: After leaving Jinan, has the travel restrictions on this aircraft been lifted?" Engineer 24 turned to Montana and asked.

“Yes, yes,” Montana said, arms crossed, nodding.

"Admiral, is this unit allowed to move freely?" Project 24 asked Xiaobai.

"Of course," Xiaobai said with a smile to Project 24. "I'm so sorry to have spent the whole morning with Jinan. You have your own things to do, so don't worry about me."

"..."

After listening to Montana's words, Project 24 lowered her head, bowed to everyone present, and then slowly turned and walked towards the playground.

"Project 24 is as reclusive as ever," Montana sighed as he watched Project 24 depart.

"What's wrong?" Xiaobai asked.

"Admiral, aren't you angry?" Montana asked Little White.

"Huh? Why am I angry?"

“Look, Project 24 doesn’t seem to be sticking to you at all,” Montana said.

"She did a great job just now, and she even said goodbye to me before she left," Xiaobai said with a smile. "Oh...right, speaking of which, Montana, aren't you going to spend time with your ship girl sisters?"

"..." Montana smiled and quietly looked at Little White. She was silent for a while, then suddenly burst out laughing, her face beaming with a friendly smile. "Haha, Admiral, may I stay by your side today?"

"Huh? Beside me?"

"Yes."

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly so interested?"

“After all, it’s been a while since I’ve seen the Admiral.” Montana said, walking to Xiaobai’s side with a smile. “Hmm… although the Admiral may not have realized it yet, I actually quite like to stick close to the Admiral, as long as the Admiral doesn’t find me annoying.”

"How could that be... I am your admiral."

"Haha! Admiral, don't regret saying that if I get hold of you later." Montana laughed heartily, though she was probably joking.

……

After much persuasion, Montana finally joined Little White's team.

Xiao Bai and his group left the garrison and headed towards the Admiral's Guild.

The location of the temporary garrison was not far from the location of the Admiral's Guild; if the group walked at a normal pace, it would be less than a twenty-minute walk.

As Xiaobai and her group walked down the street, they were surrounded by ship girls and admirals.

The ship girls from other naval bases that passed by all seemed to be quite familiar with Montana. Along the way, Xiaobai heard the ship girls greeting Montana in a flamboyant manner, calling out loudly, "Sister Montana," "Greetings, Sister," "Sister, are you going for a walk with the Admiral today?" and so on.

Montana, of course, displayed the composure of someone adept at navigating a sea of ​​women. She greeted the ship girls along the way with ease, her smile radiating friendliness, approachability, and a refreshing naturalness.

However, compared to the ship girls... the admirals' expressions were not so relaxed.

When the admirals see Shiro, they often freeze up. Although they try their best to maintain a normal expression on the surface, they will quickly pull the ship girls next to them away after the ship girls greet them for the first time, not giving the ship girls a chance to say a second word to Shiro and his group.

Xiaobai is completely used to this kind of scenario.

But Montana found it quite fascinating, and she turned to praise Little White.

"As expected of the Admiral, when I used to walk on the street, I would often be surrounded by girls. The crowd would grow larger and larger, and I would eventually be unable to walk for a long time. Now, many shops have blacklisted me and do not allow me to appear in prime locations. I never expected that this time, walking on the street with the Admiral, I could move forward smoothly without any obstacles. The Admiral's domineering aura is really obvious."

"Don't make fun of me..." Xiaobai smiled wryly.

“How can you call it sarcasm? This is the overflowing respect the people of this city have for you, Admiral.” Montana smiled and nodded, saying, “Take me out more often in the future, Admiral.”

Xiao Bai smiled at Montana, but didn't say anything more.

Jean Bart, standing to the side, held the back of her head and whistled. She had been observing Little White and Montana, but her gaze was quickly drawn to a snack stall by the roadside. She nimbly broke away from the group, went to the stall, picked up some items, and casually scanned the payment QR code on the stall with her phone. While paying the price, she skillfully returned to the group, still munching on her snacks.

When Jean Bart returned, the owner of the snack stall she had just visited didn't realize that one of his items was missing. It wasn't until a "ding" sounded and the payment notification appeared that the owner looked at the payment information on his phone with some surprise, staring blankly at the stall in front of him where one item was missing.

For Jeanbart, this street was no different from a buffet.

He stared at Jean Bart, who was munching on a candied hawthorn, with his large eyes and a sideways gaze.

Jean Bart noticed Chao Dahe's gaze, smiled, and held the candied hawthorn to Chao Dahe's mouth, gently shaking it.

Oversized and shaking head.

Jean Bart then put away the candied hawthorns, humming a song, and followed Chao Da and his companion.

Xiao Bai and his group quickly arrived at their destination.

As Xiaobai and the ship girls entered the guild hall and headed towards Luo Yingying's supervisor's office, they saw a pair of figures pulling and arguing at the door of the supervisor's office before they even arrived.

Xiaobai stopped and looked closely. After seeing the faces of the figures pulling at each other, she couldn't help but smile slightly.

The two figures pulling at each other outside the manager's office were none other than Xiaobai's acquaintances, as well as the acting guild leader of Chapter 8, Miss Luo Yingying, and her personal ship girl, Shenying.

Xiao Bai hadn't seen Luo Yingying for over a week. When she saw her again, she was indeed as radiant as Jean Bart had described, with rosy lips and white teeth, and even her makeup was more exquisite than usual.

At this moment, Luo Yingying was holding an IV drip pole in one hand, with a hospital gown draped over her arm, and was striding towards the stairs in the lobby. She was using all her strength, and her face was flushed red. Behind her, Shenying was holding her arm tightly, not letting her leave.

"Admiral, the work isn't finished yet, we can't rest—"

"Rest? I need to rest now! Admiral Lu Lin is coming back soon, did you hear me? I need to get back to the hospital floor right now! Back to my warm and comfortable hospital bed!"

"Admiral—you can't leave yet! There are still eight reports to process! And there's more to come..."

"You could have done that yourself! You've been with me for so long, you should be very familiar with this kind of work!"

"I don't have permission—you'd better stay here—"

"Oh no, dear Divine Eagle, I feel my temperature rising, I need to see a doctor immediately—my condition has been dragging on for a week, it can't be delayed any longer!"

"Admiral, don't lie to me. You clearly jumped out of your hospital bed the moment you heard the news of President Lu Lin's departure a week ago—"

"What are you saying? What are you saying! I clearly meant..."

"..."

The admiral and the ship girl were openly pulling and tugging at each other in front of the office, ignoring the stares of the surrounding employees.

Xiaobai and the other ship girls stood among the staff, silently watching the admiral and ship girl with smiles on their faces.

Chapter 3762 Trusteeship

Luo Yingying and Shenying were arguing in front of the office door. Luo Yingying, wearing a hospital gown, tried to escape, while Shenying tried to chase her. The two went back and forth, each trying to advance and retreat, and Luo Yingying had no way to escape.

Before they knew it, a group of people had gathered around Luo Yingying and Shenying.

"Admiral, stop being so willful. We need to get our work done properly while President Lu Lin is away—"

"President Lu Lin! You knew about President Lu Lin! She's supposed to be back soon, Shenying, let go! Look at all these people around us, they're about to..."

Luo Ying whimpered and tugged at the crowd, her eyes darting anxiously around her.

then.

Luo Yingying's eyes widened suddenly. She saw it. It was Xiaobai, who was standing in the crowd with the ship girls, watching her and Shenying.

Xiao Bai had a gentle smile on her face, and her gentle and delicate appearance was like a breath of fresh air.

But at this moment, in Luo Yingying's eyes, the smile that overflowed on Xiaobai's face was as terrifying as the most horrifying scene in the world.

Luo Yingying froze on the spot almost instantly.

While Shenying was still pulling Luo Yingying, she suddenly felt that Luo Yingying, who had been resisting strongly, suddenly lost all strength. Before Shenying could react, she maintained the same force and pulled the now-unresisting Luo Yingying towards herself, then threw her to the ground with a thud.

Luo fell to the ground with a thud, her limbs in the air, and the IV drip bottle and hospital gown flew into the air with her.

"Ah...Admiral..." Shenying was taken aback by this scene. She opened her mouth slightly in surprise, quickly reaching out to catch the IV drip bottle that fell from the sky. Then, with an apologetic expression, she spoke to Luo Yingying on the ground, "I'm sorry...why did you suddenly run out of strength..."

“…” Luo Yingying.

Luo Yingying on the ground did not react at all.

The force of the eagle's throw was just right; it left me dazed but not mentally injured.

Luo Yingying just tilted her head, stared blankly in Xiaobai's direction with wide eyes.

Seeing Luo Yingying's reaction, Shenying seemed to realize something. She followed Luo Yingying's gaze and saw Xiaobai and her group standing in the crowd.

"Ah... Lu Lin... President..."

"Good afternoon, Divine Eagle." Little White waved with a smile, greeting her two friends in front of her, "and Miss Yingying too."

"You...you're back..." Luo Yingying scrambled to her feet, looking as if she had been caught doing something wrong. She clutched her hospital gown with a guilty expression and stood up timidly.

Xiao Bai smiled broadly.

When the crowd saw Xiaobai appear, they immediately dispersed like a tide. The employees greeted Xiaobai with "Hello, Chairman," and then quickly returned to their respective posts to begin their work in an orderly manner.

Fortunately, Luo Yingying's supervisor's office was located in the Admiral's Guild's main hall, a place where admirals are generally not allowed to enter, so she was spared the embarrassment of being seen by outsiders.

Seeing that the people around had dispersed, Xiaobai came to Luo Yingying and smiled at the sweaty Luo Yingying.

“Miss Yingying, you look much better than before.”

"Ah...uh...yes, yes..." Luo Yingying's shoulders trembled, and she cast a pitiful, pleading look at the divine eagle beside her.

Shenying expressed her helplessness, ignoring Luo Yingying's pleading eyes, and instead spoke to Xiaobai.

"President Lu Lin, while you were away on business for a week, Manager Luo took great care of everything at the guild. Please rest assured."

"Oh, as expected of Miss Yingying, she's so reassuring." Xiaobai nodded with a smile.

"Thank you... for the compliment... It's an honor to be able to contribute to the guild..." Luo Ying lowered her head and spoke cautiously and timidly.

"I felt bad for having to cover for me when I suddenly left for so long." As she spoke, Xiaobai took out a keychain doll from her clothes and handed it to Luo Yingying. "Here, Miss Yingying, this is a gift I brought back for you on my way back. It's nothing precious, I hope you won't mind."

"No, no... I'll cherish it..." Luo Yingying quickly stretched out her hands, swallowing nervously as she accepted the keychain doll that Xiaobai handed her.

“Just now I saw Miss Yingying…did you say you wanted to go to the hospital for a checkup?” Xiaobai withdrew her hand and suddenly asked again.

"No! That's not true!"

"Miss Yingying, if you feel unwell, you can still go. After all, taking care of your health is the most important thing."

"I think I'm fine..."

"If you're tired, just rest. It's okay."

"No, no, no... I'm not tired anymore, I'm not tired at all!" Luo Yingying immediately shook her head nervously and said desperately.

Since Luo Yingying had said so, Xiaobai couldn't persuade her otherwise, so she could only smile and nod.

……

five minutes later.

After a brief meeting and pleasantries, Xiaobai and the ship girls arrived at Luo Yingying's supervisor's office.

Xiao Bai sat at Luo Yingying's desk, a faint smile on her lips, holding the Admiral Guild's reports in her hands, checking the Admiral Guild's operations over the past period.

This is also a job that Xiaobai, as the president, has to do.

Although Xiaobai believed that Luo Yingying would run the Admiral's Guild well, just like a teacher must check a student's homework, the guild leader must check the operation of the Admiral's Guild no matter what.

While Xiaobai was checking the Admiral Guild's reports, Shenying stood aside, pouring coffee for Xiaobai and the ship girls.

Luo Yingying stood directly opposite Xiaobai, nervously and anxiously wringing her hands, just like a primary school student who was being checked for her winter vacation homework and felt particularly unsure of herself.

After brewing the coffee, Shenying first placed one cup on Xiaobai's table, then took the remaining two cups and went to Superman and Montana.

"Please use it," said the Divine Eagle.

"Thank you." Montana smiled, took the coffee, and sniffed it. "Hmm, it tastes good."

“It’s just instant coffee.” Divine Eagle shook his head.

"And mine?" Jean Bart pointed to herself, then went up to the eagle and pressed her face against it, asking.

The eagle did not react; she stood still, her gaze passing through Jean Bart to look behind her.

“Hey, hey…” Jean Bart called out.

"..." The divine eagle still did not react.

"Sigh." Jean Bart wasn't surprised by this phenomenon. She shrugged and prepared to find a place to sit anywhere.

But at that moment, Jean Bart felt someone tug at her clothes.

Jean Bart turned his head and saw that Super Big was holding a coffee cup and was handing it to him.
