Elder brother's garrison

Mu Yu sat down on the sofa and glanced around the office a few times: "Um, Little White Sister..."

"If we're talking about the president, she's back in Chapter Two."

"Ah, I do know that, otherwise I wouldn't have come over so easily."

"...Could it be that you're afraid of the student council president, Mu Yu?"

"……almost."

"So, as long as the president is here, you'll never come here again?!" Xiaobai looked at Muyu with surprise, as if she had discovered a new world.

"...Little Bai, are you serious with that slightly disgusted look? Such a small action can cause such great harm..." Mu Yu clutched her chest.

"Well... it's because every time you contact me it's not for anything good... and most of the time it's about personal matters." Xiaobai muttered, seemingly harboring deep resentment.

"..." Mu Yu coughed awkwardly twice, "Ahem, this time is different, this time there really is something... and it's not a bad thing, I think. This time it's because the matter involved is rather special, so I didn't tell you through the communication software."

"……oh……"

"Little White Sister, did you meet a commander named Ruan Li in a city in Wisconsin a few days ago?"

"do not know."

"He has a ship girl named Blaine."

"Oh, I see."

"Once we know each other, things will be easier. That admiral was originally... uh, let me just get to the point. A few days ago, that admiral went to Chapter 5 and teamed up with an admiral from Chapter 7 to kill the final node."

Mu Yu said.

"Oh~" Xiaobai nodded with some interest, "Hmm, you were really quick... Did you succeed in the end?"

"It's said to have been a very simple success."

"congratulations."

Xiao Bai clapped his hands and smiled.

Mu Yu chuckled and clapped along with Xiao Bai.

After taking a few seconds of photos, Mu Yu put her hand down.

Mu Yu pondered for a moment, then finally raised his head and slowly said to Xiao Bai with a strange expression, "Then, the sea area in the current sixth chapter has undergone an anomaly."

"Uh... an anomaly? Chapter Six??"

"As for the changes in the sea, Little White, you've experienced them twice, in the first and second chapters, right?"

"The anomaly in Chapter Six... does it refer to the deep-sea cluster?" Xiaobai asked cautiously.

"More or less, but to be more precise, a cluster of Deep Sea Deans appeared in the sea area of ​​Chapter Six."

"???"

"In other words, an extremely large amount of Deep Sea Dean's reactions have now been captured in the sea area of ​​Chapter Six."

Mu Yu said to Xiao Bai.

"???"

Xiao Bai stared blankly, mouth agape.

"Uh... Deep Sea Dean Cluster... But isn't it true that there can't be a second Deep Sea Dean in a single sea area?"

"Logically speaking, this is the most fundamental rule of the Deep Sea Abomination group. Even if there are exceptions, there won't be more than three... We're also very curious," Mu Yu said helplessly to Xiao Bai, spreading his hands.

"Um...so, do you want me to help you clean up that area of ​​the sea?"

"Hmph, that's not right. I'm just here to deliver a message, not to give orders. What you do is your business, Little White Sister." Mu Yu said, standing up from the sofa. "Well, this news was supposed to take at least another week to come out from Chapter Six, so I took a big risk to tell you this secretly, Little White Sister."

"Oh...uh...thank you..." Xiaobai nodded blankly, then suddenly frowned. "Um, but what does the anomaly in the sea area in Chapter Six have to do with that admiral you just mentioned, Ruan Li?"

Mu Yu looked at Xiao Bai's strange expression and shrugged again.

"Because the anomaly in Chapter Six was caused by Ruan Li's ship girl, who had just been promoted to Chapter Six."

"..."

"Then I'm leaving." Mu Yu watched as Xiao Bai was processing the information, then lifted her foot and walked out of the office.

After taking only two steps, Mu Yu suddenly stopped by the door as if she had remembered something.

"Oh, by the way, Little White Sister, there's something I'd like to ask you."

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"Hey little white girl, did you see a military knife in that city in Wisconsin before? About this long?" Mu Yu gestured to Xiao Bai to indicate its size.

"……saber?"

"...Haha, never mind, I didn't ask." Mu Yu scratched his head, smiled at Xiao Bai, and then left the office.

End report and a one-day leave slip

This volume isn't very long, and we're almost done writing it here.

Writing this daily routine for a long time can actually be quite tiring.

In short, a new volume will be released soon. The next volume won't be very long, but it will involve a significant amount of the main storyline and previously unresolved plot points (do I even have a main storyline???). To ensure that the next volume's plot fills in these plot holes while maintaining some interest, I need to set aside a day to come up with the detailed outline.

Updates will resume tomorrow.

P.S.: Although I occasionally ask for leave, I'm actually considered quite diligent among the authors of Hedgehog Cat, waaaaah... Please believe me!

Chapter 1004 Bai Fumei

Mu Yu left the newbie garrison in a daze.

After Mu Yu left the office, the very sensible Fubuki took the initiative to monitor Mu Yu and escorted him out of the office, in order to carry out Xiaobai's long-standing aversion to Mu Yu.

After Mu Yu left, Xiao Bai walked to the window and looked down at the square. Only after seeing Mu Yu obediently pushed out of the naval base gate by Fubuki and disappear outside did she silently withdraw her gaze.

"...A military knife...? Hmm... Come to think of it, Mu Yu used to have a military knife... Did he lose it?"

Xiao Bai touched her lips with her finger, muttering to herself while subconsciously glancing at the ceiling.

The question Mu Yu asked before leaving really bothered Xiao Bai.

We're in the age of firearms now. Swords and blades, which are used for close-quarters combat, are definitely not as powerful as the cannons, planes, and torpedoes in the hands of ship girls. In terms of range alone, they are far inferior.

Therefore, the combat effectiveness of knives is actually quite low.

Therefore, the knives that people still carry around these days are probably more symbolic than practical, used as mere playthings.

So, Mu Yu actually lost his sword...

Xiao Bai shook his head helplessly, spread his hands, and smiled.

As expected, Mu Yu is incredibly unreliable. She can even lose something like her sword. If we were to use a line that Bai's mother often uses to scold Bai's forgetful father, it would be, "Why don't you just lose your brain too?"

Look at Xiaobai.

She never loses anything.

Xiao Bai suddenly got a little arrogant.

"Xiaobai, what do you think?" Lexington asked Xiaobai.

"I don't lose anything."

"Hmm? Weren't we talking about Chapter Six?" Lexington raised an eyebrow.

"...Ahem." The young man blushed and coughed lightly twice. "Ah, um, were you talking about the Deep Sea Dean Cluster in Chapter Six that Mu Yu was talking about earlier?"

"Is there anything else?" Lexington asked with a smile.

Xiao Bai scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "I don't know anything about Chapter Six either. I've only gotten to Chapter Two."

This sentence is true.

Xiaobai knew that she had only experienced two chapters of the sea area so far and knew nothing about the social structure of the later chapters. According to Lexington and Xiaobai's plan, they originally intended to slowly conquer each chapter one by one, gradually re-exploring the chapter sea areas, allowing Xiaobai to accumulate experience and consolidate her abilities as an admiral before catching up with the progress of conquering the sea areas in the newbie naval base.

This sudden jump from Chapter 2 to Chapter 6 is something Xiaobai still feels a bit disoriented about.

"Speaking of which, Lexington, what's the difference between Chapter Six and Chapters One and Two?" Little White asked Lexington.

"Chapter Six... Hmm, Chapter Six and Chapter Seven are a bit special. The resources there are much richer than in other chapters. It's less about the admirals conquering the seas and more about exploring and digging for treasure. So, the average strength of the admirals who arrive there will be much stronger than those in other areas." Lexington said to Xiaobai with a smile, "If you act too ostentatiously, you might encounter trouble where even a rookie naval base can't simply and brutally resolve things with power and strength like before."

“Uh…” Little White was somewhat surprised when she heard Lexington’s last sentence. She stared at Lexington with wide eyes. “So, the high-level sea area… is such a dangerous place…”

"...As for the sea, it's not dangerous, so you don't need to be afraid, Xiaobai."

"So...where is the danger in Chapter Six?"

“People,” Lexington said with a somewhat helpless smile.

"..."

The adult world is really complicated.

"So, Xiaobai, are you going to Chapter Six?"

go with?

Still not going?

this is a problem.

Xiao Bai pondered for a moment.

Xiao Bai was somewhat troubled.

The phenomenon of the Deep Sea Deans' cluster, while sounding somewhat frightening, isn't actually that scary. After all, Chapter Six is ​​a place that gathers the world's top combat power. Even without the combat power of a rookie naval base, the admirals there can hold out on land for a while until the admirals of Chapter Seven arrive. Once the admirals of Chapter Seven arrive, and they all join forces, it's possible that Chapter Six might even host a "Deep Sea Deans' Event" hunting tournament...

After all, if the naval base really needed the combat power of a rookie, Mu Yu wouldn't have told Xiao Bai that it was up to him whether he went or not.

So, the Deep Sea Dean cluster in Chapter Six is ​​probably a good thing for the admirals there, right?

—Then why don't we just not go? Anyway, I'm not familiar with Chapter Six.

Xiao Bai thought to himself.

Xiaobai is not a person who likes to go out. Compared to working hard every day, Xiaobai said she would rather have a quiet daily life.

So her attitude towards life is actually quite laid-back.

As mentioned before, what motivates a person to be positive, persistent, and diligent in their efforts?

It is poverty.

After all, society doesn't support idlers. If people don't work hard, they might not have enough to eat in a few days.

But unfortunately.

Xiao Bai is very rich.

As the admiral of the newbie naval base, as long as the newbie naval base is still open for business, Xiaobai, as the admiral, doesn't need to worry about making a living at all. Even if the newbie naval base were to close down now, Xiaobai could still live a peaceful life with the ship girls thanks to the wealth accumulated by the newbie naval base over the past ten years.

Correct.

That makes it clear that everyone in the newbie naval base, except for a few Abyssal ships and Richelieu, is a rich, beautiful, and successful woman.

So the Deep Sea Deans' Cluster in Chapter Six was only slightly intriguing to a newbie; it didn't really hold much appeal.

"Hmm...then how about...we don't..."

"Oh, by the way, if there are more Deep Sea Deans, there will be more Deep Sea Metal at the Deep Sea Dean level, right?" Lexington suddenly asked Xiaobai. "Xiaobai, this might be a good activity for you to get a lot of food... Ah, maybe the maid troupe can also expand its members."

"……"noob.

"Xiaobai? What's wrong?"

"Um... I don't really like deep-sea metal... and I don't have the habit of collecting deep-sea deities..." Xiaobai said to Lexington somewhat anxiously, "I didn't just take in Yamato and the others because they are deep-sea ships."

"So, Xiaobai, you're really not going to go take a look after all?"

"...Let's...let's keep it for now..." Xiaobai lowered her head, blushed, and stammered in response.

Lexington laughed in silence.

“Alright.” Lexington reached out and patted Little White’s head. “Then Little White, think it over again. With such a big incident in Chapter Six, the admirals there won’t make any rash moves in the next few days. Anyway, Mu Yu said that the news won’t come out for another week, so we can react a few days later… He has indeed been quite considerate of us this time.”

"Ahem." Xiaobai coughed twice, her face flushed. "But rather than the question of whether to go or not, we still don't know the reason for the Deep Sea Deans' cluster phenomenon."

"Hmm." Lexington simply smiled knowingly, without revealing her understanding.

Lexington didn't answer Xiaobai, but just stared at him with eyes that seemed to have seen through everything.
