Elder brother's garrison

"What's your name?" On the other side of Shiro, Fubuki looked at Vulta sitting next to her and asked curiously.

"My name is Volta," Volta said to Fubuki, sounding a little shy.

"Oh! My name is Fubuki." Fubuki smiled and patted her small chest. "I'm the boss here!"

"Boss?" Volta looked at Fubuki with curiosity.

"What, you don't believe me?" Fubuki asked.

Volta didn't speak, but instead turned his gaze to Changchun, who was also sitting at the table and adding side dishes to his porridge.

If we're talking about destroyers, the Changchun does look more reliable than the Fubuki.

Fubuki pouted angrily: "That's just an oppa alien."

"I'm not an oppai alien!" Although Changchun was sitting across from them, she had been paying attention to the conversation. When she heard Fubuki talking nonsense to her face again, she immediately protested, "My name is Changchun!"

Fubuki gave a soft hum, then moved closer to Vulta, took out her small hand, and held it up to Vulta's face: "See this?"

Volta looked at Fubuki's fingers and saw that she was wearing a sparkling ring on her ring finger.

"this is?"

"It's a wedding ring the Admiral gave me." Fubuki proudly put her hands on her hips, her face practically floating on air. "Fubuki is the Admiral's wife!"

"Don't others have it?"

“On this table, I’m the only one who owns it!” Fubuki said.

"Oh, oh, oh!" Vulta's eyes lit up as she looked at Fubuki.

In a sense, the admiral's marriage ship is indeed the leader of the naval base in another direction. Although Fubuki's statement has some loopholes and seems to be a trick, Shiro wouldn't be so unromantic as to expose her.

Seeing that Vulta had been persuaded by Fubuki in just a few words, almost to the point of shouting "Boss, I'll follow you!", Little White and Royal Oak smiled with relief in unison.

Leaving aside the Royal Oak, whose inability to quickly integrate into the newbie naval base due to previous events, it seems that Volta has at least found an organization within the newbie naval base.

The destroyer was chatting animatedly on the side, while Xiaobai listened to the destroyer's voice while drinking his porridge.

“…Um, Admiral Lu Lin.” The voice of Royal Oak rang out from the other side.

"Hmm?" Little White put down the spoon and looked at the Royal Oak.

"These are yesterday's forms, they've been filled out." Royal Oak handed two completed forms to Little White.

Xiao Bai took the Royal Oak watch and glanced at it a few times.

The handwriting on both pages was neat and tidy, except for the ship girl's signature on the second page, which had the three characters "Volta" written crookedly.

"Yes, I received it." Xiaobai put it away.

Royal Oak watched as Little White folded the watch and put it inside her clothes before she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Speaking of which, may I ask a question?" Royal Oak asked Little White.

"Sure, what's the problem?" Little White looked at the Royal Oak.

"Didn't Senior Yixian come out for dinner?" Royal Oak asked Little White somewhat nervously.

This was something Royal Oak had been considering before. As one of the few people she knew in the newbie garrison, if she had been able to find Yi Xian in the courtyard just now, she wouldn't have stood at the door of the room like an idiot, not knowing where she was.

“Yixian,” Xiaobai nodded, “she doesn’t come out to eat.”

"Doesn't Senior Yixian eat breakfast?"

"That won't do. She just won't leave her room," Xiaobai said with a helpless smile.

After Xiaobai asked Yixian to take care of Deep Sea Bismarck and Deep Sea Tirpitz, the extremely dedicated Yixian rarely left his room.

After all, before they could fully disguise themselves as ship girls, Abyssal Tirpitz and Abyssal Bismarck were not suitable to wander around and could only stay in that room. So Yi Xian even carried three portions of food to her room to eat, afraid that she might not be able to take good care of Abyssal Tirpitz and Abyssal Bismarck who were alone in the room.

Since Deep Sea Tirpitz and Deep Sea Bismarck have been enlightened by the will of the Deep Sea, they are very obedient to her, and it is impossible for them to do anything too outrageous. Xiao Bai has mentioned this matter to Yi Xian several times, but Yi Xian still insists that since it is her duty, she should fulfill her obligations properly. Given Yi Xian's insistence, Xiao Bai does not force her to continue.

"Senior Yixian, won't you leave your room?" Royal Oak looked at Little White and thought for a while.

Speaking of which, I saw two Deep Sea Deans in Yi Xian's room yesterday... Could it be that Senior Yi Xian's real job is to guard those two Deep Sea Deans and suppress them in time when they riot?

The more Royal Oak thought about it, the more reliable it seemed. Yi Xian's character was indeed suitable for the image of a reclusive master who kept his true abilities hidden.

Thinking about this, the Royal Oak couldn't help but feel a sense of dread, even as it sighed.

Come to think of it, why did they have to let me know about those two Deep Sea Deans...? I'm not even married into the family yet... Does this naval base trust me that much? Aren't they afraid I'll go out and report them or something?

"What is the Royal Oak thinking?" Little White asked.

"Uh..." Royal Oak looked at Little White's innocent, smiling face, and thought for a long time before not knowing how to start, "...In Senior Yi Xian's room, there is..."

"Oh, you mean Bismarck and Tirpitz?" Little White smiled. "I saw you go into that room yesterday. How did things go?"

Chapter 737 Say it again?

Royal Oak really doesn't know how to answer whether they get along well.

If I had to say whether it's good or bad, I think Royal Oak is pretty good. The Deep Sea Dean isn't as cruel as I imagined; on the contrary, she's surprisingly humane and can understand what I'm saying. She also likes to draw comics and gets along well with the other ship girls...

Royal Oak recalls the Deep Sea Bismarck waving at him like a mummy pillow and the Deep Sea Tirpitz lying in bed.

And it seems that this pair of Deep Sea Deans are quite cute.

However, all of this comes at the cost of being stripped naked, posing in all sorts of shameful and disgraceful positions that would make it impossible for her to get married in her lifetime, and being completely exposed.

—It even seemed like I was being threatened by their gaze, to the point that I would have to live such a humiliating life for a long time to come.

Little White waited for Royal Oak's reply, but Royal Oak didn't respond for a long time, only showing a rather distressed expression.

"Royal Oak, what's wrong?" Little White asked curiously.

“Ah…no…” Royal Oak’s voice was weak.

Xiao Bai frowned curiously.

Speaking of which, although Yi Xian was in that room, there were also two Deep Sea Deans. Deep Sea Bismarck was severely crippled by the Deep Sea Will and is still recuperating. However, Deep Sea Tirpitz only took out his Deep Sea Metal and was not injured except for becoming a weakling.

—Tirpitz.

Little White looked at the Royal Oak and asked with some concern, "Um... were you bullied?"

"Ah? No, no!" Royal Oak quickly shook its head.

"Really not?"

“Hmm!” Royal Oak nodded. “Although we did do some very shameful things, everyone was very gentle. They asked for my opinion on many positions and inquired whether I would feel uncomfortable. They also gave me a lot of compensation afterward... so they didn’t bully me.”

No sooner had the Royal Oak finished speaking than several loud bangs came from the small white table.

Luo Lian, Saratoga, Warspite, and Nia, who were watching others drink porridge, almost fell off their chairs when they heard the terrifying statement about Royal Oak.

These people all looked at the ashamed-looking Royal Oak with horrified eyes.

Xiaobai and Royal Oak looked over at the admiral and ship girls, glancing at them curiously for a few moments.

"Oh, that's alright then," Little White said to the Royal Oak with relief.

"Yes, it's alright." Royal Oak also breathed a sigh of relief, revealing a heavily burdened expression.

"If you need money, you can ask me. I have plenty of change."

"It's enough for now, thank you very much."

Compared to the gradually improving relationship between Royal Oak and Little White, Saratogalor and War-weary Nia are terrified.

As they gazed at the Royal Oak's profile, which smiled like a lady, their hearts surged with turbulent emotions.

—This woman is something else.

Breakfast lasted for a while, but then a series of hurried footsteps suddenly rang out outside the courtyard.

The sound of footsteps thundered and approached, growing louder as they drew nearer, and soon they reached the entrance to Nia's courtyard.

These footsteps didn't sound like they were coming to do anything good.

Royal Oak, who was chatting with Little White, heard the footsteps. Her relaxed expression instantly turned serious. She put down her spoon with trembling hands and looked towards the gate of the courtyard.

Seeing the solemn expression on the Royal Oak's face, Xiaobai then turned his gaze to the main entrance.

At the courtyard gate, a group of serious-looking ship girls were standing. They looked into the courtyard one by one and quickly found the Royal Oak sitting with Xiaobai.

The moment Royal Oak's gaze met the group of ship girls, her body trembled, and an expression of "it was bound to happen" filled her face.

Upon seeing the Royal Oak, the ship girls all wore expressions of confusion and anger. Pointing at the Royal Oak, they shouted at the top of their lungs, "Royal Oak!"

The sound was loud and clear, and it immediately echoed throughout the entire street.

"Royal Oak, what are you doing here?"

We've been looking for you for days.

"We've missed you so much! Do you know how the Admiral is doing now?"

"Why did you leave without saying goodbye?"

"Royal Oak..."

Following the loud voice came waves of greetings, chattering like a swarm of locusts flapping their wings, the sounds pouring into the ears of the Royal Oak.

Royal Oak looked at the ship girls in front of the gate with a rather unpleasant expression, then glanced at Shiro.

"I'm sorry... I might have been seen when I went out to buy things yesterday." Royal Oak said to Little White with her head down, looking extremely ashamed.

"Oh, I see. Well, there's nothing I can do about it then." Xiaobai shrugged.

In fact, Xiaobai had no intention of hiding the fact that the Royal Oak had been discovered on his side. If he really wanted to hide it, he could have simply had Bismarck send the Royal Oak back to his naval base overnight, so that only he and his family would know, and no one else would.

However, that would be theft. Even if the Royal Oak was unwilling, Xiaobai demanded a legitimate reason. Therefore, after bringing the Royal Oak to his home, Xiaobai never instructed the Royal Oak to hide itself.

As for the fact that it took two days to be discovered, Xiao Bai also felt that it was too slow. If the former admiral of Royal Oak did not come looking for him, Xiao Bai would even have to bring that person's face to the table.

"Royal Oak, say something!" The ship girls at the door saw that Royal Oak was not responding to them and was instead whispering something to Xiaobai. Their eyes immediately filled with indignation. They pointed at Royal Oak one by one, practically writing the word "traitor" on its face.

Royal Oak swallowed hard, her eyes quickly hardening as she looked at the ship girls at the entrance: "I am now a ship girl of this naval base."

Upon hearing Royal Oak's words, the ship girls at the entrance widened their eyes, and just as anger rose in their eyes, a male voice came from behind them.

"What did you say?"

The ship girls at the entrance spread out to both sides, and a young admiral with a cast on his hand and many scratches on his face walked out from among the ship girls and stood outside the gate with a stern face.

This man was the former admiral of the Royal Oak, who was also the vice-captain whom Xiaobai hadn't seen for two or three days. However, compared to his clean-cut appearance at the beginning, he was now covered in wounds and looked somewhat unrecognizable.

When Royal Oak saw this admiral, the newly formed resolute look in his eyes quickly became disordered for a few seconds.

The man stared straight at the Royal Oak sitting with Little White, his gaze lingering on Nia beside her for a moment before a flash of anger crossed his eyes.

“Royal Oak, if you take back what you just said, I can pretend you never said it,” the vice-captain said.

"..." The Royal Oak lowered its head, not daring to meet the man's gaze.

The man was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Come back with me."

The Royal Oak shuddered and shook her head.

"Come back with me!" The man frowned, his anger evident in his expression.

Royal Oak shook its head again.

"Aren't you ashamed of me as you are?!" the man snapped.

"I'm not going back!!" However, these words seemed to have triggered something in Royal Oak's heart. After hearing these words, Royal Oak's expression suddenly changed. She raised her head and shouted fiercely at the man.

The man was taken aback by the Royal Oak's sudden remark. He was initially startled and momentarily stunned, but then his anger finally became palpable: "Do you know what you're saying?!"

“I know!” Royal Oak nodded.

"Conflicts can be resolved, injustices can be communicated. But to run off to another naval base without even leaving a message—do you still have the magnanimity of a flagship?!"

"I'm not relinquishing my flagship status!" Royal Oak shouted as if it had given up entirely.

"You don't understand what you're doing!"

"You just don't understand!" Royal Oak shouted at the man through gritted teeth. After saying this, she seemed to lose all her strength, took a deep breath, and her expression gradually calmed down.

It seemed that Royal Oak had completely lost faith in this man during their conversation. She stared directly at him, her expression turning utterly indifferent and cold, as if she were looking at a stranger: "Go away, I don't know you."

The man was so angry at the Royal Oak that he couldn't speak for a moment. He glared at the Royal Oak, and the scene fell into an extremely quiet atmosphere.

"Um, may I say a few words?" Seeing that the conversation between the Royal Oak and the man was finally showing signs of stopping, Xiaobai stood up and slowly walked towards the man, asking him with a smile.

The man was furious. When he saw Xiaobai walking towards him with an air of indifference, a surge of anger welled up inside him.
