Elder brother's garrison

“Yes, Sister Kiat is a bit of a fool, so she doesn’t know how to properly convey her meaning. Please be understanding of her in this regard.” Bauer said, patting his chest with one hand. “Sisters Kirin and Frank are also fools, so they don’t know what Sister Kiat is thinking. Please don’t blame them, Admiral. Actually, they all respect you very much.”

After hearing what Bauer said, Xiaobai blinked.

"I see. So, Kiat wasn't actually against the modification; she just wanted me to play hide-and-seek with them?" Xiaobai asked.

"That's roughly how it can be understood."

"Oh, then I'm relieved." Xiaobai nodded to Bauer and smiled. "Thank you, Bauer. It's really great to have someone like you among your sisters who understands everyone's thoughts."

“Living with my silly older sisters is quite troublesome…” Bauer said, lowering his eyes, but then added, “But my silly older sisters are all very nice people. Admiral, you haven’t spent much time with them yet, but you’ll find out sooner or later.”

Chapter 3784 The Victory of Hide and Seek

Today, the rookie garrison is bathed in sunshine under a clear blue sky.

A gentle breeze was blowing, carrying the sweet and fishy smell of the sea, and the occasional sound of pigeons flapping their wings could be heard.

Sukhbaatar, carrying a fishing rod and with a piece of squid in his mouth, sat on the harbor outside the naval base, tidying up his fishing gear.

"What perfect weather today! I can finally enjoy my vacation!"

Sukhbaatar pulled out a small stool, plopped down on it, then bit the fishing rod, swung the line at the tip, and cast the bait into the sea below the harbor in a beautiful arc.

Feeling the bait being thrown into the water and drifting with the current, Sukhbaatar changed his posture on the bench, crossed his legs, adjusted the squid strips in his mouth, and then revealed a satisfied smile.

"Today feels great! I should be able to catch a big fish. I'll take it to Odin later and have her and Vesta make me a fish soup." Sukhbaatar muttered to herself, her expression growing increasingly content. "It seems the Deep Sea Supply Sauce is also on break today. Maybe we can go back and play a game of mahjong? Ah, life at the naval base is quite enjoyable. It feels so good to not have to work at all..."

Sukhbaatar continued speaking.

Suddenly.

Behind her, a figure emitting white light suddenly darted out.

The glowing figure swiftly crossed the port area, leaped onto the sea, and landed with a thud on the surface where the bait was, splashing up a violent wave.

Sukhbaatar's eyes widened immediately. She gripped her fishing rod, stood up abruptly, clenched her fists, and angrily shouted at the person on the water.

"Hey! You little girl over there! Don't disturb my fishing spot! I'm still fishing!"

"..."

The figure on the sea turned to look at Sukhbaatar.

"Wow! It's Sukhbaatar!" Kiat pointed at Sukhbaatar and said with a smile, "Haha, what a coincidence that you're here too!"

"Where did this rude little brat come from! How dare you call me by my name like that! When I was stationed at the first chapter, you were just a piece of deep-sea metal the size of a little finger!" Sukhbaatar clenched his fist and waved it at Kiat. "Get out of the way! That's where I fish!"

"Hehe, sorry, let me hide for a bit! If anyone comes looking for me, just say I'm not here!"

Kiat chuckled twice at Sukhbaatar, then dove underwater with a plop.

"These little girls these days are so disobedient! They're driving me crazy!" Sukhbaatar reeled in her fishing rod, angrily baiting the line with new bait, and cast again in another direction. "They have no respect for their elders at all. Honestly, who's teaching these destroyers these days...?"

As Sukhbaatar watched the bait sink steadily into the water again, she gradually calmed down, turned the squid strip in her mouth around, and continued to bite on the other side.

"Hmm...but...if I'm not mistaken, did that little girl just enter a transformation state?" Sukhbaatar thought, looking suspicious. "I can't be mistaken, can I?"

Just as Sukhbaatar was talking to himself, suddenly, two more figures descended from the sky and landed with a thud above Sukhbaatar's bait.

"Aaaaaaaahh ...

Sukhbaatar screamed.

"Huh? Kiat should have run here just now..."

"Strange, where is she?"

Kirin and Frank were squatting on the water, looking left and right, chatting, when they suddenly heard Sukhbaatar's scream. They both stood up and looked toward the source of the sound.

Kirin and Frank were surprised to see Sukhbaatar screaming on the shore, clutching his fishing rod.

"Oh! Lord Sukhbaatar, hello there."

Kirin and Frank bowed politely to Sukhbaatar.

"Ugh—you destroyers, can you please keep an eye on your elders here when you're playing around? You've ruined my fishing spot!" Sukhbaatar angrily reeled in his line, baited the hook, and moved his small stool to a different spot on the water.

"..."

Kirin and Frank exchanged a glance, then looked at Sukhbaatar and quickly moved towards him.

“Um… Lord Sukhbaatar, have you seen Kiat? She should have been here before us… We have something very important to discuss with her…”

"Kiart? I don't know!"

Sukhbaatar gripped the fishing rod with annoyance.

As Kirin and Frank listened to Sukhbaatar's words, they looked at each other, both seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Just then, a snow-white figure flew over the high wall of the garrison and descended lightly from the sky.

"Hey! That's enough!!!" Sukhbaatar felt like she was about to transform. She stood up angrily, clenched her fists, and shouted at the sky.

Unexpectedly, this snow-white figure did not land on the water like the previous two figures, but instead landed slowly beside Sukhbaatar like a feather.

"Eh? Lord Sukhbaatar, good afternoon." Little White landed beside Sukhbaatar, looked at him, and smiled. "Are you fishing?"

"..." Sukhbaatar's furious gesture froze in mid-air. She looked at Xiaobai, slowly lowered her hand, and shifted the squid strip in her mouth. "Oh... so it's you, little girl..."

Sukhbaatar plopped back down on the bench and picked up his fishing rod.

"Today has been far too lively. You can make yourselves at will, but don't disturb my quarters," Sukhbaatar said to Little White. "I still need to go back and get some fish to make soup."

“Fish soup, wow…it sounds delicious.” Xiaobai said to Sukhbaatar with a smile.

"Cough cough, it's, it's alright." Sukhbaatar subconsciously puffed out his chest. "Anyway, you guys have been asking me for a lot of ship equipment metal lately, so I'm just taking a break to nourish my body..."

Little White smiled at Sukhbaatar.

When Keeling and Frank saw Little White on the other side of the water, they ran up as well.

"Admiral! I'm so sorry, we lost them..." Kirin bowed his head apologetically to Xiaobai.

"Kiart runs too fast... Are all ship girls in their remodeling phase so energetic...?" Frank muttered to himself.

"It's alright." Xiaobai looked at Kirin and Frank, smiled, and then looked down at the water. "Kiat is over there."

"Huh? Which way?"

Keeling and Frank instinctively turned to look at the water.

Following the direction indicated by the water, they saw a ripple appear on the tranquil sea.

A few seconds passed.

Wow! ! !

The water suddenly burst open, and Kiat rushed out carrying a large fish.

"Wow! I can't hold it in anymore!" Kiat laughed, jumping into the air and tossing the fish in his hand towards Sukhbaatar. "Sukbaatar! This is a gift for you! I'm off!!!"

With a snap, the large fish landed in front of Sukhbaatar, bouncing around.

As soon as Keelin and Frank saw Kiat, they immediately called out to her.

"Kiart!!! Stop right there!"

"Hahahaha, come and chase me!!!"

But Kiat didn't give Gearin and Frank any face. She spat a face at Gearin and Frank, then hopped and skipped up the high wall of the naval base and jumped over it.

Sukhbaatar stared wide-eyed at the large fish thrashing in front of him.

Sukhbaatar clenched his fist and shouted angrily in the direction where Kiat had disappeared.

"You little brat!! What's the point of eating fish that you didn't catch yourself?! Don't let me see you again!!!"

Sukhbaatar was furious.

After bowing to Sukhbaatar and apologizing, Kirin and Frank hurriedly chased after Kiat.

Xiao Bai patted Sukhbaatar on the shoulder, said goodbye, and left with a smile.

……

Kiat hopped and skipped across the buildings of the garrison, eventually landing on the roof of a European-style building. She leaned against a clock tower and sat down.

"Phew... So tired..."

Kiat braced himself against the bricks behind him, looking up at the sky, panting heavily.

"After entering the transformation state, I'm still a little unaccustomed to it... My body feels like it's filled with lead, and it's uncomfortable to move around..."

"But it's alright... I can still hold on... I wonder how things are going with Keelin..."

Kiat muttered to himself.

Just then, a soft, gentle voice rang in her ears.

"Keeling and Frank are still on their way."

"Huh?" Kiat was taken aback and subconsciously turned his head to look.

Kiat turned his head and saw a flawless smiling face.

Xiaobai was squatting next to Kiate, propping her cheek with one hand and smiling at Kiate.

“Wa ...

Kiat was startled. She quickly turned around, scrambled up from the roof on all fours, and slid down in another direction.

Little White squatted in place, smiling as he watched Kiat walk away.

……

Kiat sped along, leaping and bounding, until he arrived at the naval base's artificial forest, where he found a lush spot to hide.

Just as Kiat caught his breath and touched his slightly dry lips, a bottle of mineral water was handed to him.

"You've been running for so long, would you like some water?"

"Ah... thank you..." Kiat subconsciously took the bottle of mineral water, but just as she was about to drink it, she was shocked to see Xiaobai squatting down next to her, propping his cheek on his hand.

"Wow!!! Admiral!!!"

Kiat threw the bottle of mineral water into the air and ran away quickly.

Xiaobai smiled and watched the direction Kiat had left. She casually reached out and grabbed a bottle of mineral water that fell from the sky.

……

Kiat hid in the garrison.

The entire garrison was thrown into chaos.

She ran into the ship girl dormitory, ran to the bottom of the well, hid here and there, trying every possible way to avoid Xiaobai.

But every time, Xiaobai would appear beside Kiat with a smile after Kiat thought she was hidden.

Despite the vast size of the naval base, this was the first time Kiat had ever felt so trapped, with nowhere to run.

Over time, Kiat began to lose his breath and his movements became sluggish.

Kiat eventually hid in the cafeteria's chimney, her whole body blackened by the thick smoke. In the end, Xiaobai used a clothesline pole to pick her out of the chimney.

I have to say, the black and shiny Kiat is quite fun.

“Hiding in the chimney isn’t a good idea, Kit,” Little White said, poking Kit’s body with a clothesline pole as if catching a chick.

“Ah—Admiral…how do you always find me so quickly?” Kiat uttered a frustrated sound.

"I'm your admiral, you know. Is finding your own ship girl really that hard for an admiral?" Xiaobai said with a smile, holding Kiat. "Besides, this naval base is my territory. I know better than anyone what buildings are here, how many routes there are, and where you can hide. If you keep hiding, I'll be waiting for you right where you're hiding next time."

“Ugh…” Kiat let out a frustrated sound.

Behind Xiaobai, Keeling and Frank arrived late.

"Ouch... Kiat...you...you can run so fast..." Frank gasped for breath, clutching her stomach and sweating profusely. "Admiral...quick...catch her...don't let her get away..."

"Ha...ha..." Kirin wiped the sweat from his face, too exhausted to speak for a moment, but he quickly closed his eyes and nodded, "...Yes!!!"

Chapter 3785 Kirin's Hobbies

Throughout the journey, although Keeling and Frank were the main force in capturing Kiat, they were completely unable to keep up with Little White and Kiat.

After all, Kiart had been running around the naval base every day, and she had long since figured out all the hide-and-seek routes in the base. As the leader of the base, Xiaobai knew all the routes in the base like the back of her hand. With the added precision positioning of the Admiral Network, even if Kiart really grew wings, she would not be able to escape Xiaobai's grasp. The two of them chased each other at lightning speed in the base. Even if Gearing and Frank tried their best, they could barely see Xiaobai's taillights.

After a lot of trouble, Keeling and Frank finally saw Kiat being arrested on the spot by Little White. They both breathed a sigh of relief and then slumped together on the roof tiles, feeling utterly exhausted.
