Elder brother's garrison

“Really not.” Yamato Fukami shook his head.

"Was there any gap in your memory?" Xiaobai asked.

“Uh…” Yamato Shinkai pondered for a moment, “Why are you asking this?”

"Sister Musashi also mentioned that she had a gap in her memory before becoming the flagship, like suddenly sitting up in the Deep Sea Home and being surrounded by many escort ships, becoming the flagship of the Deep Sea..."

"Uh..." Yamato seemed to have been hit by an arrow.

"Really?" Xiaobai asked.

"..." Yamato nodded rather reluctantly.

Lexington and the others' eyes finally hardened: "It seems the Will of the Deep Sea was telling the truth."

“And the situation seems to be even more complicated.” Hood nodded. “So, the occurrence of the deep-sea activity period is all her doing?”

"Moreover, she can also enhance the strength of the Abyssal Fleet. More importantly, she understands human language and can even share it with the Dean of the Abyssal Fleet," Akagi said, frowning.

“Didn’t she already blow it up?” Bismarck asked.

"Bismarck, the thing that got blown up is very likely just something like a clone," Akagi warned.

“Oh.” Bismarck lowered her head.

“This is truly an extraordinary discovery.” Lexington bit his finger and pondered for a moment. “Reporting it to headquarters could very well cause a huge uproar.”

“Lexington, we can’t report this.” Akagi and Hood quickly pulled Lexington back and shook their heads.

Although this matter involves a great deal of information, it is also related to Xiaobai's mental world and the Deep Sea Dean in the naval base. If it gets out, their situation will no longer be kept secret.

"Yes, I know." Lexington nodded, rubbed his brow with his fingers to dispel the worry, and then revealed a faint smile. "It's okay, Deep Sea Will it is. Anyway, the Deep Sea is just something to fight."

These words were meant to comfort Xiaobai.

"Didn't she have a grudge against Xiaobai? What if she comes ashore all by herself?" Bismarck asked worriedly.

“If she had that kind of power, humanity would have been wiped out long ago,” Lexington said.

"Understood." Bismarck felt immediately relieved after hearing Lexington's words.

Indeed, the unknown is the most terrifying thing. Bismarck was initially worried about the strength of this so-called Deep Sea Will, but after Lexington's words, she instantly understood.

After all that talk, we're still just discussing a defeated general.

"Don't take it to heart." Lexington smiled at Shiro. "Let's continue looking at Musashi."

"Oh, okay." The emotions of these elders were contagious to Xiaobai. Seeing that Lexington and the others were no longer worried, Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief and felt a sense of protection.

The group gathered around Deep Sea Musashi again and looked at him.

By this time, Deep Sea Musashi had been completely bandaged up by Deep Sea Yamato, her entire body covered in white bandages. Deep Sea Yamato used her teeth to bite off the last piece of bandage, and then carefully tied it into a bow.

"Speaking of which, Yamato, where did you learn so many skills?"

"Hmph, I'm not a useless otaku, I'm a useful otaku!" Deep Sea Yamato was quite proud of this. "I can do everything except give birth alone!"

That's definitely an exaggeration. I don't know what a deep-sea dean could be proud of about learning multiple human skills... But let's not talk about it now.

Lexington nodded, then gently shook Deep Sea Musashi's shoulder.

Deep Sea Musashi was slowly shaken awake again by Lexington.

She opened her eyes and looked at Lexington and Little White in front of her.

"Sister Musashi, do you still remember me?" Shiro asked Musashi with a smile.

Musashi nodded, still a little dazed.

"Do you still know your sister?" Xiaobai pointed to the Deep Sea Yamato beside him.

Deep Sea Musashi turned his head and looked at Deep Sea Yamato.

After a moment of confusion, Musashi's eyes slowly returned to an empty void. She reached out her hand towards Yamato.

Finally, with all its might, it slapped Deepsea Yamato's chest.

Many people have asked me if there's going to be a grand finale. Let me say this first: it's impossible. There's no way there will be a grand finale. Writing novels is fun and interesting, and the guys in the forums are so nice to talk to. I love writing novels.

Chapter 431 Dao Realm Giant Kun

Abyssal Musashi had been thoroughly ravaged. She was bombed on the surface by B-25s, causing her sturdy ship rigging to shatter completely. She was then stripped of all her rigging and forced to brave the wind and rain all the way back to Shiro's yard, where she was left on the cold floor for a long time. Before she could rest, she was woken up and subjected to a full-force Hadouken attack by her older sister, causing her wounds to reopen. Finally, she was hit by Bismarck's club, nearly dying from the blow. In the very end, Shiro extracted the Abyssal Will from her head, infuriating her.

It's already a biological miracle that Deep Sea Musashi didn't die immediately.

At this moment, after giving Yamato a powerful slap, Deep Sea Musashi collapsed to the ground with a thud and fainted again.

The Deepsea Yamato and the ship girls surrounded her, watching her quietly, lost in thought for a long time.

"What do we do?" Bismarck asked.

“Maybe we should let her rest,” Lexington sighed. “We seem to have rushed things a bit.”

"Well... she's Yamato's sister after all. What if she gets hurt from all this?" Hood smiled sheepishly and stood up.

Yamato pouted but didn't say anything.

Finally, after a brief discussion, Xiaobai decided to give his single room to Deepsea Musashi to rest in, while Deepsea Hero, who had completely evolved into a double agent, would guard the room.

Since we're sisters, it's good to spend more time together.

"Why me... I'm busy too." Yamato muttered, but still didn't refuse. She seemed to have something on her mind as she watched Bismarck pick up Musashi from the ground and take her to Shiro's room.

After the ship girls changed from a best-of-one format to a best-of-three format, then to a best-of-five and finally a best-of-seven format, Xiaobai was led back to her room by the final winner, Lexington, with a big smile on her face.

The other ship girls in the courtyard were quite obedient and didn't ask who the suddenly appearing, wounded, white-haired ship girl was; they all pretended not to see her.

The ship girls have gotten used to the many secrets of the naval base. They figured they'd find out sooner or later anyway, so it wouldn't make a difference.

As the sun set, the banquet began, and Chicheng lit a bonfire once again in the center of the courtyard.

-

Deep Sea Musashi didn't know when she woke up. She opened her eyes groggily, but a series of tearing pains came from all parts of her body. The intense weakness and drowsiness made Deep Sea Musashi unsure whether she was dreaming or in real life.

After lying on the bed for a while, Deep Sea Musashi finally felt a bit of strength return to his body.

She struggled to get herself up from the bed and looked around.

It looked like a small bedroom, decorated quite exquisitely. She was lying on the bed, seemingly unaffected by any mistreatment. There was a transparent window in the wall, through which she could see the courtyard outside, now completely dark. A charred remains of a campfire lay simply in the center.

There was a familiar white-haired woman squatting outside.

Deep Sea Musashi took a deep breath and then touched his stomach.

—Speaking of which, she felt a little hungry.

The ship equipment that provided her with kinetic energy and power has been completely destroyed. Without her energy source, Abyssal Musashi's physique is not much different from that of an ordinary human woman. In other words, she will still get hungry, tired, and sleepy as usual.

Just then, the door to the room was pushed open.

The white-haired woman who had been standing outside walked in, her purple eyes scanning the room before settling on Deep Sea Musashi: "Oh ho, you're awake."

Deep Sea Musashi squinted for a long time before he could make out the person in front of him in the extremely dim light.

It was the person everyone claimed to be her older sister.

Deep Sea Musashi's breathing suddenly became rapid, and an unnamed fire burned in her heart like a flame, and her eyes began to look empty.

Although the Deep Sea Will had exploded, some of it still remained in Deep Sea Musashi's body. Otherwise, Deep Sea Musashi probably wouldn't have been able to speak and would have been forced back into his beast-like form.

In other words, Deep Sea Musashi still harbors some hostility towards his sister, but it's not as ruthless and intense as before.

However, given Deep Sea Musashi's frail and sickly EX state, it's estimated that no matter how much hostility he has, it won't make a difference. Even if he goes up and unleashes another Hadouken on Deep Sea Yamato, it will be Deep Sea Musashi who collapses first from exhaustion.

Yamato shrugged, walked to Musashi's bedside, put down a disc, stretched, and retreated to the door.

Deep Sea Musashi glanced at the plate that Deep Sea Yamato had put down, then paused, stunned.

There was a small piece of chocolate cake on the plate.

Small, black, and round, it has a subtle, sweet smell.

Hunger outweighed everything else, and Deep Sea Musashi reached out and grabbed the chocolate cake in a flash. He accidentally used too much force, squeezing the intact chocolate cake until it was deformed and cracked.

Deep Sea Musashi put the chocolate cake into his mouth and chewed it vigorously. The emptiness in his eyes slowly returned, shining brightly in the darkness.

I don't know why humans made something so delicious so small. Deep Sea Musashi hadn't even had a chance to enjoy the feeling before his body accidentally swallowed the chocolate cake.

Deep Sea Musashi raised his head and looked at Deep Sea Yamato.

"Do you want more?" Yamato Akagi asked cautiously from the doorway.

Deep Sea Musashi nodded rapidly.

Yamato looked around, then stuck his head out of the door and peered into the yard for a while before slamming the door shut when he was sure no one was there.

She walked over to Deep Sea Musashi, looked at him who had lost all hostility towards her, and coughed softly.

"Call me Sister."

The next day, Xiaobai sat on the steps outside the temporary admiral's office, yawning as she looked at the ship girls in the courtyard.

"Good morning, Admiral!" The ship girls in the courtyard saw Xiaobai and came up to greet her.

Xiao Bai waved to each of them.

Last night, Xiaobai had a rather complicated experience of sharing a bed with Lexington and Saratoga.

Lexington and Saratoga were both exceptionally well-developed, voluptuous women. Not only were they stunningly beautiful, but they also possessed a remarkable presence, and most importantly, their figures were perfectly proportioned. Sleeping with them, sandwiched between the two, Xiaobai always felt as if he were being squeezed between four soft mounds of flesh, his arms deeply embedded in those cleavages, making it difficult to move and preventing him from falling asleep peacefully.

In short, Xiaobai had a subtle feeling of having lost.

— Xiaobai misses Fubuki and Veneto, her two married ships.

"Good morning, Admiral." A white-clad ship girl with black hair greeted Xiaobai.

"Good morning, Aoba." Xiaobai smiled at Aoba.

Qingye bowed to Xiaobai with a smile, and then prepared to leave.

Just as she was leaving, a blue-haired ship girl suddenly appeared out of nowhere, grabbed Aoba's slender waist in a flash, and bit her earlobe with her small mouth open.

"Aww."

"Ouch!!!" It seemed that her earlobe was a sensitive area. When the person bit her, she instantly got goosebumps. Her face turned red as she turned her head to look at the person who was holding her.

"0v0!"

"Quincy!" Qingye shoved Quincy away, her face a mixture of shame and anger, along with a strange, slightly excited air. "Don't touch me!"

Quincy was pushed back two steps by Aoba, then tilted his head in surprise: "Huh?"

"What do you mean, 'huh'?"

“My sister said this will make me stronger!” Quincy’s agate-colored eyes were full of innocence.

"Who told you that licking a girl's earlobe will make you stronger!" Qingye covered her ears, breathing rapidly, her small chest heaving.

"My sister made a mistake. She didn't expect that after the devouring ended, she would cultivate Kun into a Dao Realm Giant Kun!" Kunxi said, raising his hand.

"What kind of weird ad did you watch?!" Aoba covered her ears and stomped her foot, looking like she was going to lecture you. But after a moment, Aoba realized how pointless it was to reason with a ship girl like Quincy whose intelligence had been completely devoured by Kun. In the end, she could only punch Quincy's shoulder several times before leaving Quincy behind and running away.

Quincy stood still, touched her glistening lips with her finger, and glanced at Little White.

Quincy and Aoba are both heavy cruiser ship girls who were brought to the temporary city by the naval base.

Quincy bowed to Xiaobai as well, then chased after Qingye and ran away.

Xiaobai smiled as she watched Quincy and Qingye's retreating figures.

They aren't actually sister ships, but they have a very good relationship in every sense of the word.

Just then, Deep Sea Musashi, covered in bandages, finally came out of her room. It seemed that a night's rest had restored some of her strength. She took a short look around the yard and finally sat down next to Shiro.

"Musashi-neechan, you're awake?"

"Hmm." Deep Sea Musashi was still holding a chocolate pie that someone had given her. She took a small bite and then looked at the sky in the yard.

The most distinctive feature of Deepsea Musashi compared to other Deepsea Deans is her adaptability. Even now, with her ship equipment shattered and her life reduced to that of an ordinary person, she can still find someone she trusts to sit beside in the enemy's headquarters and quietly savor the precious food.

How are you feeling?

"Ah."

Please tell me if you feel unwell anywhere.
