Elder brother's garrison

The sudden excitement of commanding a large army, mixed with a sense of omnipotence, made Deep Sea Musashi incredibly confident, to the point that she overlooked something very important.

—She seemed unaware of where her target, her older sister, Yamato Fukami, lived or what she looked like.

a few days later.

While Xiaobai was processing documents at the rookie naval base, Lexington finally received the news.

"Little White." Lexington smiled and put down the documents in her hand, asking Little White with a smile.

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Xiaobai put down his pen and looked towards Lexington.

"Headquarters has detected a deep-sea fleet slowly gathering from the Deepsea Home," Lexington said.

"Oh no! What should we do then!" Xiaobai exclaimed in fright.

"Ah, don't worry, the Deep Sea Homeland isn't a chapter area, there are no other people around, so it doesn't matter how many deep-sea fleets there are." Lexington quickly explained with a smile, afraid that Xiaobai would misunderstand.

"Oh, that's good." Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly remembered something, "Eh? Then wouldn't that mean..."

“Yes.” Lexington smiled and handed the documents to Little White. “The autumn deep-sea activity season is about to begin. Are you ready for the activities, Little White?”

"So this is it." Xiaobai took the document Lexington handed over.

As expected, the document stated that the Kyoto headquarters had received a warning from the coastal area that a large number of deep-sea amphibious ships had appeared in the Deep Sea Home, which could be preliminarily identified as the start of the autumn deep-sea activity season.

"Then we'll have to prepare properly," Xiaobai murmured, handing the documents back to Lexington.

During this time, Xiaobai has also been cramming on knowledge about deep-sea activity periods in his spare time, so he is not panicking about the autumn deep-sea activities.

"The seasonal deep-sea events, including the autumn deep-sea events, are significantly more difficult than the regular chapters. New admirals who are just starting out in the first chapter generally can't contribute much," Lexington said. "So we veteran naval bases have to put in a lot more effort."

"Oh..." Xiaobai nodded.

During their active period in the deep sea, deep-sea amphibious ships generally do not move around much and will stay obediently near their deep-sea home. However, allowing so many deep-sea amphibious ships to multiply is a terrifying thing. Therefore, even if they do not actively invade the land, humans must actively go to suppress their numbers.

This is essentially the main responsibility of a modern admiral.

After all, those deep-sea amphibious ships that occasionally roam outside the chapter sea area and the deep-sea home are too weak and cannot be compared with those that are active during the event period.

"Lexington, when do we leave?" Xiaobai asked.

"Little White, you seem really eager to try," Lexington said with a smile.

"Oh, really?"

“The Deep Sea activity period isn’t as difficult as you think. You can think of it as a grand hunting event,” Lexington said. “Let me see… Hmm, there’s about a week until the Deep Sea activity period officially begins. It will last for about half a month, which means there are still three weeks. We just need to get there within that time.”

"Don't we need to go on the first day?"

“It’s better to be early than late, since there’s only one flagship in the deep sea. They won’t come out on the first day. Based on past experience, the flagship usually comes out towards the end. All we need to do is sink the flagship,” Lexington said.

"Oh..." Xiaobai nodded knowingly.

Just then, Yamato Fukami, dressed in a maid outfit, walked in from outside carrying a bucket of water.

Lexington and Shiro quietly watched Deep Sea Yamato.

"Huh? Why are you looking at me like that?" Yamato Akagi was taken aback.

Xiaobai looked at Shenhai Yamato with some hesitation.

"That Yamato sister, the deep-sea activity period has begun."

"what?"

"It's the one that comes every quarter..."

"..." Yamato thought for a moment before suddenly realizing, "Oh, you mean the proliferation period. I understand, you're going to fight the Deep Sea, right?"

Xiaobai looked at Shenhai Yamato with some embarrassment.

Yamato is also an Abyssal Fleet member. She's currently in the Abyssal Fleet's operational period, which is the time when the casualties among Abyssal Fleet members are the heaviest every quarter. I wonder if Yamato is a little sad about that?

"Have a safe trip, and keep up the good work!" Deep Sea Yamato gave Shiro a shout, then carried the bucket to the back of the sofa and skillfully took out a rag to wipe the sofa.

Deep Sea Yamato seemed completely unmoved.

Chapter 398 Reaching a Consensus with Deep Sea Yamato

"Yamato-neechan, don't you care?" Shiro asked, puzzled by Yamato's completely unfazed expression.

"Huh?" Yamato's hand, which was gripping the rag, stopped. "What are you worried about?"

"It's about the deep-sea activity period. A considerable number of deep-sea amphibious ships will probably be sunk," Xiaobai said. "Yamato-neechan, are you okay with that?"

"Uh..." Yamato Fukami awkwardly clenched the rag in his hand. "This..."

Yamato Shinkai pondered for a moment, then sighed softly, "I tried my best to avoid this topic..."

"Ah, what is Yamato-neechan saying?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Yamato Fukami tossed the rag back into the bucket with a snap, smiled at Shiro, and said, "I don't mind."

"Huh? Why?" Xiaobai was stunned.

“I am the Dean of the Deep Sea, and they are the Deep Sea Abominations. They are two different kinds of creatures. Besides, the bonds between deep-sea beings are very weak. Even I rarely interact with other deans.” Deep Sea Yamato shrugged. “Just like humans also originated from the sea, yet you still eat fish so happily.”

Yamato's explanation is somewhat far-fetched, but it seems to be the only thing that can explain his state of mind.

It seems that the Deans of the Deep Sea Realm truly regard themselves as superior beings evolved from the Deep Sea Abominations, just as humans view fish and shrimp. The casualties of these inferior beings, the Deep Sea Abominations, are irrelevant to them.

"So do whatever you want. I'm retired now, and the new headmaster of the Deep Sea has already appeared. Why should I worry about anything?" Deep Sea Yamato put his hands on his hips and puffed out his chest. "But Shiro, I have to tell you, the Deep Sea during the event period is super strong. They're not even in the same league as those weaklings in the first and second chapters. Be careful, or you might not come back."

"Thank you for the reminder, Yamato-neechan," Shiro said gratefully.

"Hmph hmph hmph." Deep Sea Yamato became smug.

However, the way the Deep Sea Dean looked smug with his hands on his hips while dressed as a maid was strangely comical.

However, it would be best if Yamato-neechan didn't mind.

Xiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

Yamato breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Shiro continue with his work.

Just as the two of them relaxed, Lexington looked at Deep Sea Yamato for a while and then suggested, "Yamato, why don't you come with us to explore the Deep Sea event this time?"

"Okay, sure." Yamato Akami patted his chest and nodded casually.

"That would be wonderful..."

"Wait, what did you just say?!" Before Lexington could finish speaking, Deep Sea Yamato interrupted her in shock.

"That would be wonderful!"

"Not that sentence! The previous one!"

"...Would you like to join us to explore the deep-sea event period?"

"Goodbye!" Yamato Shinkai picked up the bucket and rag, as if to run out the door.

However, at that very moment, the Head Maid of Reputation appeared at the door with incredible coincidence and slammed the door to the Admiral's office shut.

The meaning of reputation is quite obvious.

Yamato stiffly turned his head toward Lexington.

"Yamato, didn't you just say you didn't mind? Why are you suddenly unwilling?" Lexington asked curiously.

"I don't mind, but that doesn't mean I want to see it!" Deep Sea Yamato slammed down the bucket, patting her ample chest as she spoke to Lexington, "Hey, hey, hey, I'm the Dean of the Deep Sea! While I don't mind you participating in Deep Sea activities, if I go with you, wouldn't that mean I've completely betrayed the Deep Sea?"

"Ah, so that's how you see yourself..." Lexington stroked her cheek, looking at Deep Sea Yamato. "Ahem, but Yamato, I think your experience as the Deep Sea Director should be of great help to us..."

"Why would I help you, you old... nyah nyah nyah!" Deep Sea Yamato made a face at Lexington, almost blurting out the words "old woman".

It seems that Yamato is absolutely unwilling this time.

She crossed her arms in front of her chest, giving off an expression that said, "I'd rather die than go with you."

Lexington looked at Yamato Abyss with some difficulty.

As the Dean of the Deep Sea, Yamato's experience and knowledge can indeed help newbies navigate the Deep Sea event period. After all, no one in the world understands the Deep Sea Fleet better than the Dean of the Deep Sea, and it is difficult for any movement of the Deep Sea Fleet to escape Yamato's eyes.

As a rookie naval base determined to take first place, Deepsea Yamato's help is still very important.

However, it seems that Deepsea Yamato is keeping a close watch on this last line of defense that has become a traitor, and looks like she would rather die than surrender.

"...Double your salary."

"What!" Yamato's eyes lit up, her gaze briefly turning into a dollar sign before quickly returning to normal. She slapped herself hard. "No way! Even double the salary isn't enough! This is a matter of principle!"

Yamato Shinkai proudly raised her head. She now receives monthly rent for the turrets, and although she has lost the benefit of double wages, it doesn't hurt her too much.

Look, I, Yamato, am such a noble and majestic being. Even when trapped deep in enemy territory, my heart remains with the deep sea. I would rather die than surrender under the enemy's coercion and enticement!

"...debt halved."

Yamato's arms trembled, and she swallowed hard.

"We'll change the work schedule to 9 to 5 with weekends off, and there will be a bonus every six months and a year-end bonus." Lexington continued her sugar-coated attack.

"..." Yamato's eyes stared at Lexington, gradually turning into a blur.

For a Deep Sea Commander who works all day at the naval base and whose only entertainment time is staying up all night, Lexington's three conditions were incredibly tempting.

Lexington, seeing that things were about right, put down the documents, walked up to Yamato Aqua, and whispered in Yamato's ear, "The Naval Base will grant you one reasonable request."

“A…condition!” Yamato Akagi looked at Lexington, trembling. “Anything is possible?”

"Hmm, let me think. You've disliked me for a long time, haven't you? Well, how about I be your personal maid for a day, serving you tea and water, or I can change how I address you to 'Master' forever?" Lexington smiled and stood back.

...That old woman...how shameless!

Deep Sea Yamato was truly touched to the core this time.

Revenge is always more tempting than reward. As someone who has always been completely controlled by the old woman, Yamato Aquaman has long wanted to get revenge on Lexington. However, Lexington is usually perfect and flawless, so Yamato Aquaman has never had the chance to take revenge.

You delivered this right to me yourself.

"Yamato, do you want to come with us...?" Lexington asked one last time.

"Go! Go! Go!" Deep Sea Yamato raised his hand without any restraint, his eyes burning with a fierce fighting spirit. "I will do my utmost!"

"That's great." Lexington smiled at Yamato Abyss with satisfaction. "Then it's settled, okay? No last-minute changes of mind."

"I'm very trustworthy!"

"If you change your mind, I'll wipe out your entire game account."

"Are you a demon?!"

At that moment, Renown opened the door, and Deep Sea Yamato carried the bucket and ran away.

"Lexington, what did you secretly say to Yamato-neechan just now?" Shiro asked Lexington.

After approaching Deepsea Yamato in Lexington and whispering a few words in her ear, Deepsea Yamato surrendered. Shiro was very curious.

"I told her I could grant her one request."

"What if Yamato-neechan says she's going to set her free?"

"She can't be that smart. At most, she'll just ask for some games or something in the end." Lexington was quite confident about this.

"Oh, that's true." Xiaobai chuckled softly upon hearing this.

Xiaobai could almost picture Deepsea Yamato struggling to decide which game to buy.

The morning ended in this cheerful atmosphere.

In the afternoon, news that the admiral was going to launch an expedition to conquer the deep-sea event spread throughout the entire naval base, and countless ship girls volunteered to join him.

Since it's an event, the more ship girls you bring, the better. But it's obviously impossible to bring all the ship girls, so Shiro and Lexington spent the whole afternoon selecting the team to go.

"The ship girls who applied to go on the expedition are Akagi, Zuikaku, Shoukaku, Taihou..." Xiaobai read aloud while organizing the documents in her hands, "Saratoga... Lexington, are you going too?"

“Yes,” Lexington replied.

"Oh...and Essex, and Enterprise too...wow, we have so many carrier girls in our naval base!" Shiro exclaimed in surprise as she counted them.

“Quite a few people haven’t returned yet.” Lexington smiled. “The Royal Ark, the Raiders, the Wasps—they’re all quite powerful.”

After all, Xiaobai is only one person, and cannot split into a hundred to find all the ship girls.

"The more aircraft carrier girls the better. I suggest you bring all the ones you apply for," Lexington suggested.

"Is it because aircraft carrier girls are very strong?"

"It's just a little selfish thing of mine as an aircraft carrier ship girl."
