Elder brother's garrison

Xiaobai and Odin got out of the car at the gate of the garrison, carrying various goods they had bought in the city, and walked side by side inside.

As the two walked, the large and small bags collided and rubbed against each other in mid-air, making a series of rattling sounds.

"Ah, I accidentally went too far... It's already so late..." Xiaobai murmured, looking up at the sunset that had turned half the sky red.

"Hmm." Odin nodded with a slight smile, her expression perfectly calm and without any fluctuation.

Little White turned his head and secretly glanced at Odin's face.

"I'm so sorry, we agreed to take you on a tour of the naval base... but we accidentally went too far," Xiaobai said apologetically.

“It’s alright, I had a lot of fun in the city.” Odin shook his head and lifted the bag in his hand. “I understand why you want to introduce me to some companions, Admiral, but I can get along with my colleagues at the naval base on my own. You don’t have to force yourself, Admiral.”

"Ah...I see..." Little White looked at Odin with some admiration.

"Moreover, that thing called comic convention is really interesting. I wonder if there will be a next volume of that comic."

"..." Personally, I still hope that the comic book ends here.

Although Xiaobai thought the manga was pretty good, since it was related to the ship girl Tirpitz, Xiaobai figured it was only a matter of time before the manga started to go all out and move towards R18 content.

The conversation between Xiaobai and Odin came to an end, and the two walked on the road for a while longer.

At this time, the cafeteria is open, and the ship girls are having dinner in the cafeteria or in their dormitories, enjoying a time of family bonding. There are few people on the road, only a dim yellow glow shining on Xiaobai and Odin, stretching their shadows further and further away on the ground.

“Oh, right,” Odin suddenly said.

"Ok?"

"Speaking of which, does the Admiral remember the nightmare I had when I first boarded the train?"

"Yes. I remember."

“That nightmare… ah, it wasn’t really a nightmare.” Odin pondered for a moment, then looked up at the sky. “Actually, it was quite interesting.”

"Oh?"

“I dreamt of a very strange girl,” Odin said. “She lived alone, was very cheerful, and seemed quite lonely. In the dream, I was being chased and then she saved me.”

"Being chased... what a strange dream."

"Admiral, you've seen my memories, haven't you?"

"Ah."

Have you seen the memories from that period in human society?

"Too long, didn't read it carefully..."

"Hahaha..." Odin laughed a long string of silvery laughter, then his laughter subsided slightly, and he looked somewhat sad. "...Admiral, it's quite lonely when you're alone."

"No one you can chat with without worry, no one to share your joy with, no one to make you worry, and no one to make you angry. No one sneaks food from your bowl while you eat, and no one hands you a tissue when your mouth is dirty..." Odin said calmly. "No father, no mother, no companions. When you want to miss someone, you find you have no one to miss; when you want to reminisce, you find you have no memories to recall. And so your heart remains calm, and time inexplicably passes quickly, several years in the blink of an eye. Yet time also inexplicably passes slowly, every minute and second feeling unbearably long..."

"..."

"Luckily, the Admiral didn't look." Odin smiled at Little White.

"..." Xiaobai stopped in her tracks. "Odin... was your life like this when you lived in human society before?"

"Those were probably the worst few years."

“…Ah, I’m sorry…I didn’t know…”

"Hahaha, Admiral, don't be so cautious. I already said that was a long time ago, just like your human adolescence, it was just a very short and insignificant period." Odin said to Little White with a smile.

"That's good..." Xiaobai breathed a slight sigh of relief as she looked at the relaxed expression on Odin's face before continuing forward. "Speaking of which, did Odin's mood only start to improve after meeting Lord Su?"

“Hmm. Sukhbaatar is troublesome, often thinking in a single-minded way and acting without considering the consequences. But she is, after all, my companion… No matter what kind of person she is… it’s good to have her.” Odin tilted his head and said to Little White.

"No wonder Odin is so eager to join my garrison!" Little White smiled at Odin.

"I'm truly sorry to have joined the naval base with such unorthodox intentions..."

"It's alright, it's alright. There aren't many ship girls here who joined the naval base to protect world peace." Xiaobai waved her hand dismissively. "Besides, Odin will feel lonely without Lord Su, and Lord Su will feel lonely without Odin. It's a good thing for Lord Su that you, Odin, can join my naval base."

"Hmm!" Odin's eyes lit up slightly at the mention of Sukhbaatar. She nodded heavily to Little White with a smile, and tightened her grip on him. "That Sukhbaatar is arrogant and useless. No one can stand her temper in life. Humph, her life would be a mess without me. She can't do without me!"

"As expected of Odin, he's so reliable!" Little White said to Miss Odin with a smile.

Odin lowered his head with a smile, his cheeks slightly flushed.

"I've told you so many times, I don't need to work." Just then, a familiar voice suddenly came from the other end of the road.

It looks so familiar.

Because there are only a handful of people in the entire garrison who can refer to themselves as "this lord".

Upon recognizing Sukhbaatar's voice, Xiaobai and Odin froze on the spot, instinctively shutting their mouths and looking towards the distance along the road.

"That won't do! Not working for a long time might feel great now, but sooner or later you'll be seen as a parasite on society and abandoned by the owner of this naval base!"

"Huh—no way."

"Really, really. As the saying goes, 'He who does not work, does not eat.' Although you can be lazy for a while now, who knows what will happen in the long run? If the admiral gets tired of you later, and you still don't work, you're doomed!"

"what……"

"So, here, take this broom. Let's work together!"

"Hey...but..."

"A man who does not plan for the future will have trouble in the present! Being prepared for danger in times of peace is the most normal mindset for a supply ship, because we don't have much combat value to begin with, so it's more important to make our value available outside of combat! We must use our labor and sweat to win over the ship girls of this naval base!"

The sounds of conversation in the distance came in waves.

Finally, in Xiaobai and Odin's eyes, Sukhbaatar and the deep-sea supply ship walked towards them from the other end of the road under the setting sun.

The deep-sea supply ship stood beside Sukhbaatar with a concerned expression. The educator Sukhbaatar, holding a broom, earnestly taught Sukhbaatar, even holding Sukhbaatar's hand and pushing the broom into Sukhbaatar's palm.

The two supply ships sat there, seemingly bored, under the setting sun.

The two supply ships chatted and laughed, their shadows overlapping and separating on the road, like a black butterfly fluttering its wings.

They looked incredibly loving and close.

"So... I'm not really a diner, you see, I'm also the world's number one..." Sukhbaatar smiled as she looked at the deep-sea supply ship. She was calming down and preparing to explain to the deep-sea supply ship when suddenly, as if sensing something, she looked directly at Little White and Odin with a meaningful gaze.

“…” Odin, standing next to Little White, stared blankly at Sukhbaatar and the deep-sea supply ship beside him.

“…Eh??” Sukhbaatar was taken aback, his eyes widening in surprise. “Odin?”

“…” Odin didn’t speak. She looked at Sukhbaatar, who was standing sweetly with the deep-sea supply ship, but her shoulders began to tremble.

A series of crackling sounds rang out.

Everything Odin bought fell to the ground.

sunset.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward.

The deep-sea supply ship swiftly released the small hand gripping Sukhbaatar's wrist and took several steps back.

Odin remained silent, not uttering a sound.

Xiao Bai stood awkwardly beside Odin, and after thinking for a long time, he lowered his body slightly and asked Odin.

"Um... Oh, Miss Odin..." Xiaobai tried to keep her voice as low as possible.

“That…that person…who is she…” Odin stammered, pointing to the location of the deep-sea supply ship.

"Uh, that's...that's the deep-sea supply ship I brought back a while ago..."

"The supply ship... I was here first..."

Odin let out a soft moan, his weak voice filled with helplessness and grievance.

……

Ok?

Um? ?

Ok? ? ?

Wait a minute.

What a strange development!

Eh? ? ?

what should I do?

Looking at Odin's expression, Xiaobai suddenly felt a stomachache for some reason.

Chapter 994 This peach is really great

Xiaobai never expected to run into Sukhbaatar of the garrison on the road.

Because Odin had initially told Xiaobai that she wanted to give Sukhbaatar a surprise, Xiaobai did not contact Sukhbaatar or tell her about it before returning to the naval base.

Although the two people have met, Xiaobai, who is observing from the sidelines, suddenly feels that the scene is developing in a rather strange direction.

Xiaobai was at a loss for how to react to all of this.

"Admiral..." Odin whispered, calling out Little White's name.

"Ah, I'm here!"

"You go first."

"Huh?" Xiaobai was taken aback.

Odin turned his head and gave Little White a determined look.

Although Xiaobai couldn't understand the meaning of those eyes, he had a feeling that the plot that was about to begin would be a little beyond his imagination.

Xiao Bai pondered.

As the admiral, although Odin suggested that he leave first, Xiaobai still felt that he should not desert his post.

"that……"

"Ah."

"Good luck to you guys, I'm heading home now. Goodbye, Odin!" Little White quickly bowed to Odin, then ran off towards the dormitory with his large bag of belongings as if his life depended on it.

Of course, as an admiral, she should indeed step in to help when the ship girls have emotional disputes, but before that, Xiaobai also felt that she had never been a confidante, and she was never very good at dealing with emotional disputes.

Since it's not in my area of ​​expertise, I might as well leave as soon as possible, right?

Xiaobai ran quite a distance before stopping. Somewhat worried, she turned back and looked in the direction of Sukhbaatar.

On the street, bathed in the red glow of the setting sun, three young supply ships, their heads gleaming in the sunlight, were quite lively. They were playfully hitting each other and pulling at each other, and before they knew it, they were all tangled up together, rolled onto the ground, and tore each other apart.

The entire street was filled with the sounds of supply ships...laughter?

Regardless, seeing this scene made Xiaobai feel a little relieved.

They have a really good relationship.

Xiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest.

For Odin, even if Sukhbaatar angered her, she would still be happy. After all, Odin herself said that she was not afraid of others making her angry, nor was she afraid of encountering difficulties. She was only afraid of a lonely life so peaceful that she couldn't tell whether she was alive or dead.

As long as you're not lonely, that's better than anything else.

The joys and sorrows of life are all part of the excitement.

Xiao Bai paused slightly as she patted her chest, lost in thought for a moment.

—Speaking of which, is this the kind of life that people who work day and night live?

--Um.

— Bai Jiahei seems quite bored in the spiritual world all by herself. Next time I go to the spiritual world, I should ask her what she needs.

—As long as it's not about letting her out, I can consider any other reason.

Thinking this, Xiaobai picked up her shopping bag and hurried back to the ship girl dormitory.

He pushed open the door to the Bismarck family home.

A breath of fresh air wafted over me.

Xiaobai sniffed carefully in the air but couldn't smell any potato chips. It seemed that Tirpitz and the others hadn't returned yet.

Xiao Bai stood in the entryway and sighed subtly.
