Elder brother's garrison

Two ship girls with long golden hair glided across the sea as if on ice skates, and arrived at Xiaobai's side.

"Admiral, what do you think? Handsome, right?" Enterprise asked Xiaobai.

"Yeah, super cool." Xiaobai smiled at Enterprise, then looked at Saratoga next to Enterprise. "Thank you."

In just one encounter, the entire Deepsea Abyssal Fleet was crushed into dust by these ship girls.

The Prince of Wales, gently supported by the Prince of Eugen, walked to Hood's side. She looked at Hood and the little white dog beside her with a somewhat puzzled expression.

"Is this the naval base's new partner?" the Prince of Wales asked, looking at Little White's feet on the sea.

—Is it a new ship girl?

But after the naval base lost its admiral, wouldn't there be no one to build ship girls? Looking at the child named Shiro in front of him and the naval base's companions so familiarly, the Prince of Wales couldn't help but wonder.

Come to think of it, the name Xiaobai sounds familiar.

“Wales, have you even forgotten Little White’s name?” Hood said to the Prince of Wales.

“Little White…” The Prince of Wales looked at Little White.

At this moment, Xiao Bai was also clasping his hands together, smiling shyly at the Prince of Wales.

—Indeed, the name Xiaobai sounds very familiar, as if the memory is about to come to mind.

But Wales really doesn't remember knowing such a ship girl?

“Xiao Bai’s real name is Lu Lin,” Hood said to the Prince of Wales.

“Lu Lin… Lu…” Wales’s eyes, which had been ashen, slowly brightened. Her mouth opened slightly as she looked at the little white dog in front of her.

“She is the Admiral’s sister, and the current Admiral of the Rookie Naval Base,” Hood said with a smile to Prince of Wales. “Wales, we’ve come to take you home.”

The Prince of Wales looked at Little White in disbelief.

Memories flow, and time seems to flow backward at this moment.

"Big brother, big brother, big brother!"

"Stop calling me that, what's so great about being the eldest brother?"

"I'm the eldest brother, and I also have a younger sister."

"You have a sister?"

"Hmm. (Smugly)"

"Could he be a scoundrel like you?"

"No way, I'm telling you, Shiro is the cutest in the world!"

"...Ha, men."

"Isn't it normal for a brother to like his sister?"

"You're not normal."

"..."

"Since your sister is so cute, she'll be my sister in the next second."

"What???"

"I am your older brother, so your sister is my sister."

The Prince of Wales looked up at the sky above the garrison and chuckled softly.

"If we ever meet again, I will definitely protect her from you, you pervert."

written request for leave

It's too hot, there's no air conditioning at home, and I haven't eaten all day. This morning, I went to the toilet and vomited a bunch of rainbow-colored vomit. I saw stars, was covered in cold sweat, and felt extremely uncomfortable somewhere in my body. In short, it seems like I can't write anything.

Gentlemen, I want to live, so please allow me to go to the hospital today.

I'm really sorry for missing so many chapters this month. I'll try to make up for today's missed chapters in a few days.

Chapter 580 Zero Emotional Intelligence

After the bombing, the aftermath of the battle came to an end.

As a representative of the thrifty and domestic virtuous ship girl (as she calls herself), Washington went alone to scavenge the fallen deep-sea metal from the wreckage of hundreds of deep-sea amphibious ships.

The remaining ship girls stood with Shiro on the sea, gazing at the Prince of Wales, whose soul had left his body.

After learning about Little White's origins, the Prince of Wales remained silent, staring blankly at Little White like a statue.

She looked at Xiaobai's face, her gaze seemingly passing through Xiaobai's body to look behind her, across time and space, reaching a more distant place.

Xiao Bai gradually became embarrassed by Wales's gaze.

"Wales?" Hood noticed that something was wrong with the Prince of Wales and couldn't help but call out to remind him.

“I’m fine.” The Prince of Wales lowered his head silently.

After a long while, the Prince of Wales raised her head, looked at Xiaobai's feet standing on the water, and calmly asked, "Are you the Admiral?"

"Yes." Xiaobai nodded quickly.

"How did you manage to stand on the water?" the Prince of Wales asked.

“The admiral has ship equipment,” Enterprise said to the Prince of Wales.

"It has ship equipment?"

"The Admiral is amazing, and the Admiral Network is incredible too." Enterprise said, a strange look on her face. "The Admiral even stole the Deep Sea Dean's ship equipment with the help of the Admiral Network."

"..." A hint of shock appeared in the Prince of Wales' calm eyes, before slowly disappearing.

Unlike the other ship girls who were surprised when they first heard that Shiro had ship equipment, the Prince of Wales quickly calmed down.

"A remarkable admiral," the Prince of Wales said, looking at Xiaobai.

"Commander, of course you're amazing. But you, Wales, seem much weaker than before," Hood said to the Prince of Wales with a smile. "A hundred Abyssal Fleet ships were enough to bring you down like this?"

The Prince of Wales nodded, without refuting Hood's words.

Hu De wanted to say something more, but at that moment, a series of rapid gliding sounds came from the distant sea.

Everyone except the Prince of Wales looked toward the sound of the gliding.

Three ship girls quickly emerged from the edge of the azure sea and were rushing towards them at a considerable speed.

Leading the group was a tall ship girl with long brown hair. She had spotted the Prince of Wales standing safely with Xiaobai early on, and her tense expression relaxed a little. However, she did not slow down and continued to lead the two ship girls behind her towards them.

"Ah, isn't that King George V?" Hood noticed the two ship girls who had arrived, pursed her lips slightly, and then waved to them.

"Hood?" King George V rushed to Little White's side, first carefully examining the Prince of Wales's condition, before giving Hood a genuine smile. "Long time no see."

"Long time no see! How have you sisters been?" Hood smiled at King George V and the Duke of York behind her.

The Duke of York then stepped forward and bowed to Hood.

"Oh dear... even South Dakota's here." Hood noticed South Dakota, who was hunched over, knees propped up, panting heavily.

Unlike most fair-skinned and beautiful ship girls, South Dakota's healthy, sun-kissed wheat-colored skin, combined with her exotic and delicate features, makes her quite eye-catching even among ship girls.

“Ha...ha...hello everyone...ha…” South Dakota stood at the back of the line, panting awkwardly.

Having not exercised much for three or four years, South Dakota said he was still finding it hard to accept suddenly joining the ship girls for an ultra-long marathon.

“He just joined us in South Dakota today,” the Duke of York explained to Hood, then his gaze slowly shifted to the little white boy standing in front of the Prince of Wales. “May I ask who this child is…?”

“Admiral Lu Yun’s sister is the new admiral of our garrison,” Hu De said.

"Ah, Admiral Lu Lin?" The Duke of York was taken aback. She first glanced at Xiao Bai's feet, then quickly gave Xiao Bai a knightly salute. "Please forgive my rudeness. I am the Duke of York."

King George V smiled and nodded at the little white boy, saying, "Just call me George V."

“South Dakota!” South Dakota raised her little hand and said to Whitey while panting.

Xiaobai smiled at the three ship girls in front of her.

It seems that every ship girl in the new naval base has indeed had a lot of stories about herself spread by her brother.

Although thanks to her brother, the ship girls found it much easier to accept her.

“While it seems you have many questions for us, we also have some questions for you,” Hood said, glancing at King George V, the Duke of York, and South Dakota before giving the Prince of Wales a thoughtful look. “However, this place doesn’t seem quite suitable for conversation right now. We’re new here, King George V. Could you recommend a place for us to stay?”

“We’re fairly familiar with the admiral of this naval base, so let’s go there and rest for a bit,” King George V nodded to Hood.

Hu De looked at Xiao Bai and asked for Xiao Bai's opinion.

Xiao Bai nodded, indicating that he had no problem.

Hood stood up, then took Little White's hand and led her slowly in one direction, following King George V.

The ship girls quickly followed.

The Duke of York walked up to the silent Prince of Wales, and after whispering something to him, the two of them slowly followed the others.

South Dakota had just finished resting and was straightening up to catch up with Xiaobai and the others when suddenly, a pleasant female voice came from behind her.

"Huh? Isn't this South Dakota?"

Upon hearing the sound, South Dakota felt as if he had been electrocuted, and his entire body began to tremble violently.

Then South Dakota turned his head in disbelief and looked at the ship girl behind him.

Behind him in South Dakota, Washington was holding a pile of black deep-sea metal, looking at him with an expression as if he had seen a familiar face.

“Washington…??” South Dakota’s face turned pale instantly.

—At times like these, there's no need to discuss why a dark-skinned person's complexion turns white.

"Hey, chubby guy," Washington greeted South Dakota. "Long time no see. I didn't expect to run into you here."

"You're the little fatty, your whole family are little fattys!" South Dakota exploded at the mention of the nickname. She stomped her feet on the water several times in anger, then walked over to Washington and poked his arm repeatedly with her little finger. "I'm a beautiful young woman! I have a well-proportioned figure! Where am I fat!"

"The ship's equipment is bulky, isn't it?" Washington said dismissively.

"Don't confuse ship equipment with ship girls, you tomboy!"

"Oh haha."

"..." South Dakota pouted, looking at Washington with a displeased expression. "By the way, what are you doing here?"

"I'm the admiral's ship girl, of course I'm here!"

"Aren't you a mother abroad? Didn't you say you wouldn't go back even if someone contacted you?"

"Ah, you mean North Carolina? Well, North Carolina is an admiral's shipgirl now, so let's go back together." Washington nodded.

"This is possible??"

“North Carolina likes the Admiral quite a bit too.” Washington shrugged. “During the deep-sea activity period in the fall, North Carolina often went to visit the Admiral.”

"Fall activities???" South Dakota looked surprised. "You participated in the fall activities?"

"That's right, the battle is over, and the admiral even got first place."

"how would I not know?"

“You didn’t ask me,” Washington laughed. “Speaking of which, you haven’t contacted me much from South Dakota, nor have you told me about your situation. I thought you were having a good time in human society, so I didn’t bother you…”

Washington trailed off mid-sentence.

Because South Dakota was looking at him with a face full of grief and indignation, his round eyes filled with tears of resentment.

“…” Washington looked at South Dakota with a strange expression.

Did I do something to upset South Dakota?

Washington pondered for a moment and realized that what he had said earlier didn't seem wrong.

—It shouldn't be my problem.

Washington squinted at South Dakota.

I've always felt that this girl from South Dakota probably has some mental issues.

“…Isn’t there anything you want to say to me?” South Dakota asked Washington.

Washington paused, looking at South Dakota's expression that seemed ready to explode at any moment, and fell into deep thought.

—The killer question has indeed arrived.
