Elder brother's garrison

Akagi raised her head and quietly looked at the five large characters "Newbie Naval Base" written on the gate of the naval base.

This was a name given by Brother Xiaobai, incredibly funny, and even with all sorts of sarcastic undertones. But as Akagi looked at the five big characters, she felt a sense of longing wash over her like the wind.

"Wow, you guys are so fast!" Washington, along with North Carolina and Rodney Nelson, got out of another car. She stared in amazement at the car next to Xiaobai. "Is your driver a racing legend?"

"Who knows, it might actually be true," Little White said to Washington with a smile.

After seeing off the diligent driver, Xiaobai and the ship girls walked into the naval base.

Compared to Rodney Nelson and Washington's composure, Akagi seems to still have a slight lingering resentment about it.

She took Xiaobai's hand.

Xiaobai could clearly feel that Akagi's hands were a little cold and unusually damp.

"Sorry, I'm a little sweaty," Akagi said apologetically to Shiro.

"It's okay." Xiaobai shook her head.

The group walked to the plaza below the office building.

Akagi tightened her grip on Shiro's hand, her body stiffening involuntarily.

In the square, Richelieu, dressed as a maid, was squatting beside the central statue, pulling weeds. Beside her, Fubuki was chasing Changchun all over the playground, baring her teeth and brandishing her claws.

In a real fight, Changchun's combat strength, whether in human form or ship equipment, is no less than Fubuki's. However, Fubuki particularly likes to grab Changchun's upper body and extend her little groping hands, so Changchun is always left red-faced and defeated.

...Well, I don't know when Fubuki and Nagaharu started interacting like this. I feel like their relationship hadn't developed like this when they first met.

—It seems like it's been like this ever since Yuxiu came back.

To this, I can only conclude that the destroyer's way of expressing friendship is a bit strange.

"Hehehe, you oppai monster, it's either you die or you perish today, hahaha!" Fubuki seemed quite into the role, relentlessly chasing after Changchun.

"Please let me go!!"

Two shadows, one white and one blue, kept circling around Richelieu in the middle.

"It's Fubuki and Changchun." Xiaobai turned to Akagi, who was holding her hand, and introduced them, "You know Fubuki and Akagi, right? The one next to her is Changchun. She used to be Kogan, but she came back after her ship equipment was modified. She's really strong now. Do you want me..."

Xiaobai wanted to continue speaking, but she stopped when she saw Akagi's face.

Akagi's expression looked quite serious.

She looked at Chuixue, who was entangled with Changchun, with a particularly complicated expression in her eyes.

Changchun was eventually captured by Chuixue.

The two rolled around on the clean tiles Richelieu had wiped spotless. Fubuki, with a look of triumph over her prey, straddled Nagaharu and reached out to grab the fruit on his chest: "Got it!"

"Ahhh!" Changchun closed his eyes and clutched his chest.

However, the expected groping hands did not reach Changchun, and Changchun quietly opened his eyes.

Fubuki seemed to have finally noticed Shiro and Akagi's presence, and she stared at Akagi next to Shiro with wide eyes.

Fubuki's groping hands were hovering in front of Changchun.

Changchun followed Fubuki's gaze and also noticed the presence of Shiro and Akagi.

"Ah, Admiral." Changchun looked at Xiaobai with an expression that said, "Admiral, you're finally back! I've been suffering so much."

"Long time no see, Changchun, Fubuki." Xiaobai greeted the destroyers in front of her.

Fubuki stepped off Changchun's body.

Akagi looked at Fubuki with a complicated expression, then took a deep breath and smiled at her: "Little Fubuki, I'm back."

When they met Akagi, Shiro and Bismarck realized that Akagi was a ship girl with exceptionally strong feminine qualities, but as a side effect, she also had many worries.

Simply put, Akagi is constantly outsmarting and outmaneuvering thin air.

The same applies to Fubuki. When Akagi left the naval base, she refused Fubuki's request to stay, so she still felt a deep sense of guilt towards Fubuki.

Whether Fubuki hits or scolds her, or simply turns and leaves, this is the punishment that Akagi feels she deserves.

Fubuki walked up to Akagi and examined him carefully for a while, seemingly trying to confirm the authenticity of her Akagi.

Akagi let go of Shiro's hand and squatted down in front of Fubuki.

"Akagi-neechan?" Fubuki reached out and pinched Akagi's cheek.

"Yes, it's me."

"..." Upon hearing Akagi's words, Fubuki's jewel-like eyes instantly sparkled like stars. "Akagi-neechan, you're back!"

Fubuki suddenly hugged Akagi's face, jumping up and down with excitement.

"Akagi-neechan is back!" Fubuki exclaimed happily.

Akagi reached out and hugged Fubuki, letting out a soft sigh of relief.

It seems that Fubuki really doesn't blame herself.

"I'm back." Akagi finally said these words in a normal tone and with normal emotion.

"Akagi-neechan is the best!" Fubuki exclaimed excitedly. "I knew Akagi-neechan would come back! You would definitely come back!"

Akagi and Fubuki reconciled and returned to normal.

...Or perhaps they never actually split up, right?

Everyone present wore a knowing smile.

Except for two people.

That was Richelieu, squatting next to the sculpture pulling weeds, still not understanding how things were unfolding, and Changchun, lying not far away, knocked down by the snow and left out.

Changchun hugged his chest, gritted his teeth, and sat up from the ground.

"Ah, Changchun, Changchun, look, Akagi-neechan is back!" Fubuki suddenly remembered Changchun's existence, and quickly turned around, looking at Changchun with excitement. "Look, it's the living, breathing Akagi-neechan!"

Fubuki and Changchun have a good relationship. When Fubuki has something happy to share, the first thing she does is share it with Changchun.

However, Changchun's response was different from before.

Seemingly because she was being ignored, Changchun's face turned bright red, her pretty face filled with shame and anger.

"Who wants to see this, you idiot Fubuki!" Changchun stuck out his tongue at Fubuki, snorted loudly, and turned away.

Halfway there, Changchun seemed to realize that he hadn't greeted them yet, so he quickly stopped, bowed to Xiaobai and Chicheng, then turned away, covered his face, and ran off on his own.

Now it was Fubuki's turn to be completely bewildered.

I recommend a ship girl novel called "Ship Girl Internal Forum".

It's a very charming ship girl novel. If you're interested in ship girl fanfiction, you can check it out.

The following is a brief introduction

[Kantai Collection Internal Forum]

A brief discussion on daily outings for ages 3-4 (very popular)

How to stop the admiral from building too much (here is a haggard secretary ship who is about to starve to death)

The disappearance of aluminum: a sign of moral decay or a loss of humanity?

Let's delve into the bizarre thought process of a certain Kongo-class ship and the unspeakable things between her and her sister ships.

Requesting the military police's contact number

OMG! The secret code between "wo" and "poi" has been revealed!

This is a forum for ship girls to exchange and learn from, unknown to the admiral.

Chapter 392 A Pair of Pink Twin Tail

Although Xiaobai and the destroyer play together every day, sometimes Xiaobai still can't keep up with their wonderful thought processes.

Destroyers and other ship girls are two different kinds of creatures.

Fubuki began to ponder the reason why Changchun's little cutie suddenly got angry.

However, the anger of destroyers is different from anger in the conventional sense. In the time it takes to drink a bottle of water, they can be hanging out together again as if nothing happened.

So Xiaobai decided it was better to stay at the observer's perspective.

After exchanging a few words with Fubuki and saying that Changchun was fine, Xiaobai walked towards the office building with the other ship girls.

Xiaobai skillfully led the ship girl to the entrance of the admiral's office.

Speaking of being an admiral, Xiaobai's life is more like that of a tour guide. He spends all day wandering around, using the excuse of searching for lost ship girls to travel on public funds, while leaving all the naval affairs to Lexington.

This is how many times I've come back from outside.

Thinking of this, Xiaobai couldn't help but feel a little apologetic towards Lexington.

She opened the door.

"Lexington, I'm back."

"You're back, Admiral." The expected, calm and composed greeting came through.

Lexington's carrier-based aircraft have been hovering over the naval base for a long time and are very familiar with the surrounding environment, so the fact that Little White went home is usually not kept from Lexington.

There's probably only a one in ten thousand chance that a newbie might encounter Lexington-chan, the naval base idol who's too busy venting her emotions to care about her surroundings.

The greeting was as expected, but the tone and manner of the voice were unexpectedly different from what Xiaobai had imagined.

Xiaobai looked at Missouri sitting on the sofa in surprise.

Missouri was sitting upright in front of a small mountain of papers, pen in hand, with a very high stack of processed documents beside her.

Missouri is tall, and it's clear that using the low table in front of her, which she usually uses to hold tea and snacks, to handle documents is quite inappropriate. She probably has to bend over a lot to write properly.

"Hmm, Little White is back?" Only then did Lexington stand up in the secretary ship's position.

"Looks like you brought quite a few sisters back." Lexington put down the documents in her hand and walked towards Xiaobai.

"Lexington, it's been a long time." Akagi bowed to Lexington.

“Long time no see, Akagi.” Lexington looked at Akagi. “It seems you and Shiro have gotten along quite well.”

Lexington seems to have seen Shiro and Akagi holding hands in the square.

Akagi simply smiled and said nothing more.

Lexington glanced at Rodney Nelson and Washington, nodding and greeting them one by one, before finally settling his gaze on Bismarck and North Carolina.

"Little White, did you bring back two more ship girls?" Lexington asked.

"Two? There's only one." Xiaobai followed Lexington's gaze and found that Lexington was watching Bismarck and North Carolina.

Bismarck is still wearing his expensive Yamato suit, and his thick sunglasses and hat almost completely cover his face.

"This is Bismarck."

"Bismarck?" Lexington looked at the incredibly cool and stylish ship girl in front of her in surprise.

At that moment, Bismarck took off his sunglasses and nodded to Lexington: "It's me."

“You’ve finally learned how to dress up.” Lexington looked Bismarck up and down with delight. “Hmm, very beautiful.”

Faced with the look of satisfaction in Lexington's eyes—the look of joy she had seen in her daughter, who had spent all her time with boys, suddenly start wearing little skirts—Both Little White and Bismarck fell silent.

I felt it wasn't appropriate to tell Bismarck at this moment that her clothes were stripped off piece by piece from Yamato in the deep sea.

“I thought you couldn’t wait to get back to the naval base and went to steal aluminum,” Lexington said.

“Today is a bit special,” Bismarck nodded and said. “My clothes are fragile, so I’ll go home and change before I go.”

"Bismarck is starting to care about these things too," Lexington remarked, glancing at North Carolina beside Washington.

North Carolina remains in her little girl form. According to Washington, North Carolina's life form seems to be that she accumulates energy in her child form and releases it in her adult form. Maintaining her adult form for a long time does not seem to be a good thing for her.

"This must be a new ship girl," Lexington greeted North Carolina with a smile. "Hello little sister, what's your name?"

North Carolina.

“North Carolina,” Lexington nodded. “My admiral didn’t use any forceful methods, did he?”

“Lexington! I didn’t do that,” Xiaobai quickly explained.

"Haha, sorry, sorry, Little White, you always bring back new ship girls every time you go out, I'm just a little curious," Lexington said with a laugh.

“Speaking of which, Lexington, what’s going on with her?” Bismarck, seeing that Little White and Lexington’s conversation had come to an end, chimed in, pointing to Missouri sitting on the sofa and asking.
