Elder brother's garrison

Golden-red flames rose from the sea surface and instantly engulfed the separated deep-sea amphibious ship.

The roar of the deep-sea amphibious ship echoed across the sea.

It was then drowned out by the even more powerful bombing roar in the next second.

The ship girls ignored the wreckage of the Abyssal Fleet, letting the black debris drift ashore with the golden-red seawater. Several squadrons of destroyers busily moved back and forth on the beach, picking up deep-sea metal from the wreckage of the Abyssal Fleet like collecting seashells. They then pushed the empty shells of the deep-sea debris back into the sea, watching them slowly decompose and crumble into dust in the water.

Standing atop the high wall, Xiaobai gazed at the sea, somewhat lost in thought.

As an admiral, Xiaobai, who was used to staying on the safe beach and waiting for the ship girls to return, had never seen the ship girls in battle.

So this is the first time that Xiaobai has witnessed such a large-scale war between ship girls and deep-sea amphibious ships with his own eyes.

From a distance, the ship girls and deep-sea amphibious ships look like colorful grains of rice scattered across the map.

The sense of realism is reduced to its limit at this moment, bringing a wonderful visual experience between the pictures.

In short, it's somewhat... spectacular.

"How's the view here?" The waitress came to Xiaobai's side and called out to him despite the surrounding noise.

Because of the strong sea breeze, the two people could only hear the wind so loudly that they couldn't have a normal conversation without shouting at each other.

"Very impressive!" Xiaobai nodded to the waitress.

The waitress smiled easily, took Xiaobai's hand, and led her to sit down on the floor tiles.

Sitting on the paved floor, Xiaobai's view was blocked by the bricks and tiles, but the strong wind was also pushed aside by the bricks and tiles on the city wall, and the sound of the wind in her ears became much quieter.

"It's really amazing, isn't it? That's what I thought too when I first saw it." After sitting down, the waitress was able to talk to Xiaobai normally again.

"Is the sea below always like this?" Xiaobai asked.

"Yes, the sea here has always been like this." The waitress nodded. "Is it safe over there?"

"...It's very difficult to see this many deep-sea amphibious ships in our area unless you go to the Chapter Sea."

“It’s so peaceful.”

In response to Xiaobai's reply, the waitress smiled, looked up at the sky.

It's actually quite ironic.

Despite the fierce battle raging on the high seas, with countless abyssal ships being blasted to smithereens by the ship girls every second, and the carrier-based aircraft flying extremely high, their annoying noise disturbing everyone within a hundred kilometers, the sky above remained utterly tranquil.

The white clouds drifted leisurely by.

The sun sets leisurely.

The curtain-like sky was tinged with a hazy, blood-red hue under the crimson glow of the sunset.

It was as if everything that was happening below had nothing to do with them.

The waitress looked on with a hint of envy, then slowly shifted her gaze to Xiaobai.

Meanwhile, while the waitress was gazing at the sky, Xiaobai had slowly climbed to the wall. She leaned against the wall and carefully observed the sea below.

Her delicate, snow-white face was flushed crimson by the sea breeze, and her dark golden eyes were filled with a serene and peaceful light.

The slightly weary sea breeze made her long hair dance in the wind.

Her snow-white hair, hanging in mid-air, flowed like a waterfall.

The waitress hugged her legs, tilted her head, and stared at Xiaobai's profile. As she looked, she became somewhat lost in thought.

The waitress looked somewhat forlorn.

"Lu Lin."

"Well, I'm here."

Am I being rude?

"Huh?" Xiaobai paused for a moment, then turned to look at the waitress beside her. "Uh... that..."

The waitress looked somewhat embarrassed.

"I've hit that male admiral from this afternoon a total of three times in the past few days."

"..."

“Actually, he seems to be a pretty good admiral.” The waitress said, then closed her eyes and thought for a moment, “...Thinking about it now, I guess I shouldn’t have hit him.”

"...Sister, you're just being fair...There's no need to worry about it so much. You made it up to him later, didn't you?"

"That's true... but ever since I left the coffee shop, I've been thinking about it." As she spoke, the waitress's gaze shifted to her lower body, and she helplessly reached out to pinch her toes, her eyes somewhat dim. "...I must have done something wrong."

"..."

"...I must have been wrong..."

The waitress bit her lip in frustration.

"...Why...why didn't I notice it all this time..."

"Clearly... I wanted to be the best... and I always thought I was the best... but in the end, I couldn't even distinguish such a simple thing..."

"...Then wouldn't I just be a self-righteous idiot..."

The waitress's voice was weak, tinged with a hint of grievance and resentment.

She hugged her thighs, feeling dejected, and her eyes suddenly reddened and quickly filled with tears.

"……asshole."

"...I was really serious about this..."

The waitress murmured, her shoulders trembling slightly.

On the other side, Xiao Bai stared blankly at the waitress's extremely disappointed look, and suddenly realized something.

Actually, after leaving the coffee shop, Xiaobai had no idea why the waitress suddenly seemed so downcast.

It wasn't until now that Xiaobai understood.

So she was feeling regret.

I feel quite disappointed and frustrated that I didn't do things to the best of my ability...

—This older sister seems to be a very strong-willed yet innocent person.

Little White blinked and opened its mouth.

"elder sister."

"……Um?"

Do you want to become a more capable person?

"...Mmm." The waitress nodded softly, her eyes red, "I don't want to...make that mistake again..."

"I see." Xiaobai nodded, slowly walked to the waitress, squatted down in front of her, and smiled at her.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

"I helped you find the problem this time, right? So I can do it next time too. In that case, I'll take on the task of making you even more amazing."

"Leave it to me." With that, Xiaobai patted his chest and encouraged the waitress, "Two people working together will definitely be easier than one, right?"

Xiaobai's speech is over.

The waitress looked up, staring blankly at Xiaobai with an empty expression.

The waitress's expression was perfectly calm, except for her constantly blinking emerald eyes, which revealed that her emotions were anything but calm.

The waitress just stared at Xiaobai like that.

They remained silent for a long time.

at this time.

A series of cannonballs exploded on the sea.

Boom.

Boom————

Flames soared into the sky, their light casting two silhouettes between the bricks and tiles.

"Lu Lin...do you know what you mean by that?"

The waitress opened her mouth and stared blankly at Xiaobai, asking a question.

"Okay!" Xiaobai nodded.

Make sense.

Xiaobai and the waitress had known each other for a very, very short time.

But there is indeed something in this world called "meeting too late".

Such as now.

Xiao Bai really liked this cheerful and kind older sister.

This older sister is beautiful and has a great personality. She's also very kind to Xiaobai. She just shared her favorite secret and the view from the rooftop with Xiaobai.

That's a friend!

They are half-sisters!

Xiao Bai would go to great lengths for her sisters without hesitation.

"...Do you...do you even know...?"

Looking at Xiaobai's innocent expression, the waitress felt somewhat helpless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

“…Hmm.” Little White frowned and began to think hard.

Sometimes, you really can't tell if a newbie is smart or stupid.

The waitress, who was hugging her legs, sighed as she watched Xiaobai thinking so hard in front of her.

“…Never mind.” The waitress shook her head, looked up at Xiaobai, and quietly studied her face. “I understand.”

After the waitress finished speaking, she removed her hand from her thigh and then slowly reached out towards Xiaobai.

The waitress's hands were very beautiful.

Slender fingers, fair back of hand—Xiao Bai still remembers how soft, cool, and smooth it felt when she touched it.

"Working together as a team... isn't something you can just say casually."

The waitress stared at Xiaobai's face with a somewhat dazed look in her eyes and said...

"...Admiral Lu Lin."

"...Even if you don't understand, you know you have to take responsibility for your words, right?"

"It's not too late to back out now."

The waitress's final warning.

Xiao Bai nodded firmly, then looked at the waitress's outstretched hand for a while before finally reaching out and slowly shaking it.

While shaking hands, he glanced at the waitress, his expression questioning whether what he was doing was okay or not...

The waitress looked at Xiaobai's adorable, blank expression and suddenly burst out laughing.

The pretty boy blushed: "Uh...did I...did I do something wrong again...?"

"You really are the same as when we first met." The waitress shook her head and laughed. "But..."

"but?"

The waitress gripped Xiaobai's hand tightly in return.

A confident smile spread across her face.

"It's right this time."

Done.

The waitress reached out her hands and wrapped them around Xiaobai's neck, and together they fell onto the brick-covered ground.

Two in one.

Rolling around.
