Elder brother's garrison

"Hahahaha..." Akagi reached out and patted Yamato's head. "It's okay, it's okay, Shiro isn't a scary person, right?"

“…Mmmmmmmm…” Yamato, unusually, did not resist Akagi’s stroking of his head.

Seeing that there were more people around, Shiro loosened her grip on Yamato and took several steps back to give Yamato some breathing space.

Yamato's breathing gradually calmed down.

Xiao Bai looked at Bai Ying and smiled helplessly.

"Shiro, what's wrong with Yamato?" Akagi looked at Shiro with some curiosity, noticing Yamato's unusual reaction.

"Uh, that's a bit hard to explain... Simply put, Yamato-neechan was scared by the military knife that Bai Ying gave me..." Xiao Bai said.

"Hmm?" Bai Ying, who was standing to the side, was taken aback. "This one called Yamato, is it a deep-sea amphibious ship?"

"Yes, it's Dean Shenhai," Xiaobai replied.

"..." Bai Ying.

"Yamato is the kind of person who's been so close to our admiral that it wouldn't be surprising if he suddenly brought back a wedding ring," Akagi said to Bai Ying with a smile.

"..." Bai Ying looked at Shen Hai Yamato, nodded slightly to indicate her understanding, "...Oh."

It seems that Bai Ying is also a ship girl who doesn't mind the divide between ship girls and deep-sea amphibious ships.

"Bai Ying, where did you get that knife?"

"No comment."

"Uh... but why did that knife react to the Deepsea Amphibious Ship..."

"No comment."

"..."

"No comment." Bai Ying used the repeating technique she learned in Kaga to argue with Xiao Bai.

"Okay..." Xiaobai sighed.

After such a series of strange developments, in short, Bai Ying, who had temporarily become the food connoisseur of the rookie garrison, had become one of their own, and Xiao Bai no longer needed to avoid Bai Ying in his actions.

During the break in the Deep Sea, Xiao Bai briefly explained to Bai Ying the reasons and purpose of her visit to Chapter Six. Bai Ying's expression flickered slightly when Xiao Bai mentioned the Deep Sea Dean's unusual behavior, but then returned to normal.

After resting, everyone left the courtyard.

It was getting late, and the sky outside the courtyard house looked rather gloomy, making one reluctant to leave home.

The admirals on the street were hurrying along, their leisurely demeanor from the morning gone. They were all dragging their ship girls along, barely exchanging greetings as usual. After making some inquiries, Xiaobai and the others learned that news of the sixth chapter's closure was gradually spreading, and these admirals were rushing to join the fun.

"It looks like this won't last more than a week," Akagi said to Shiro.

"Hmm... I guess the admirals now only know how to seal the gates... They probably don't know why they're being sealed off yet." Xiaobai smiled, then took out his phone and looked at it. "Anyway, let me ask Admiral Mu Yuruanli where he lives first. He said last time that this matter is closely related to him."

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Admiral. It seems you don't like making phone calls."

“No need to call, just send a text message.” Xiaobai said to Akagi, then sent a very short text message to Muyu, “Hmm, while waiting for the text message… it’s getting late, how about we go to the Admiral’s Guild for a while and get something to eat?”

"I'll do as the admiral says."

After sending the text message, Xiaobai led the ship girls against the flow of people towards the Admiral's Guild.

The road seemed somewhat desolate due to the hurried pace of pedestrians. Taking advantage of the cool breeze, Deep Sea Yamato quietly approached Shiro from the back of the group, then suddenly pounced on Shiro's back and hugged Shiro's head.

"Huh... Yamato-neechan? Aren't you...?"

"Don't worry about me... I'm getting used to it... How can I lose to a mere knife..."

After muttering to himself, Yamato Shinkai slowly pressed his soft, boneless body against Shiro.

Xiaobai gave a wry smile and let Shenhai Yamato masturbate him all the way.

Upon arriving at the Admiral's Guild in Chapter Six, the once magnificent guild was now sparsely populated due to the city's lockdown. Xiaobai and the ship girls entered the guild's dining area and chose a seat.

A fair-skinned, beautiful, and long-legged waitress immediately came to the table and presented a gold-edged menu with both hands.

"Ah, right." Suddenly, Akagi looked at Shiro as if she had remembered something, "Shiro."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Didn't Lexington tell us after we left that we should keep a low profile before the event started?"

"Ah... I think I did say that?"

"But we need the Admiral's Certificate to swipe the card. It wouldn't be good if we brought the guild leader down with us."

"Uh... well..." Xiaobai, who was holding the menu, paused, glancing at the smiling waitress standing by the table, waiting to write down the dishes. "Well..."

"Use mine." Bai Ying, who had been staring at the menu for a long time, couldn't wait any longer and quickly pulled out her admiral's certificate, placing it in Xiao Bai's hand.

"Ah? Is that okay?"

"Well, you do have some merit points, and you have merit points too, so just use it as a secondary card."

"That's great, thank you Bai Ying." Xiao Bai accepted Bai Ying's admiral's certificate.

In the quiet office, Mu Yu sat alone behind his desk, scratching his head and looking at the documents in his hands with a troubled expression.

"Sigh...where can I run to..."

Mu Yu looked left and right, her eyes, with dark circles under them, opening and closing repeatedly.

Mu Yu's phone rang.

Mu Yu swayed on the table for a while, dozing off for about ten minutes, before suddenly waking up.

The first thing Mu Yu did upon waking was to take out her phone and look at the screen. Then she raised an eyebrow, glanced at the incoming call display, and finally gave a faint smile.

"Hey, Little White Sister, you really went to Chapter Six." Mu Yu looked at her phone screen with satisfaction, typed out her reply as if she had been waiting for a long time, and clicked send.

After doing all this, a trace of helplessness once again appeared on Mu Yu's face.

"Okay... Anyway, I can go to sleep first..."

"Bang!" Suddenly, the office door was pushed open with a bang.

"Admiral, Admiral! Something big has happened!" Z31, carrying a large stack of letters, pushed open the door and ran in. He then went straight to the desk and piled the documents on it.

"Hmm... Z31? W-what's wrong?" Mu Yu, still half-asleep, forced herself to look at Z31. "Wh...what's the big deal..."

"Admiral, Admiral! A message has come from Chapter Six!" Z31 slammed his hand on Mu Yu's desk and said nervously to Mu Yu.

"The world's strongest ship girl ever!"

"A great predecessor who made outstanding contributions in the battle against the Abyssal Fleet hundreds of years ago and first defined the concept of the admiral profession!"

"That's the super ship girl who was given the title of admiral hundreds of years ago! The one who retired a long, long, long time ago!"

"—Her admiral's certificate was activated in Chapter Six!"

The restaurant area in Chapter 1025 is similar to the guild restaurant in Chapter 1, where merit points are used as currency for transactions.

The restaurant offers a wide variety of dishes, all of which are delicious and visually appealing, covering cuisines from all over China and catering to everyone's tastes. The only downside is that the prices of the dishes, when converted to RMB, are several times more expensive than other restaurants outside.

As for why it's several times more expensive...

Looking at the luxurious and splendid walls of the restaurant, feeling the admirals passing by on the street outside the window, seeing the way I was staring at the nouveau riche, and then looking at the beautiful waitress standing obediently in front of me, wearing a thin but figure-hugging cheongsam, and seeing her long white legs occasionally peeking out from the high slit of her cheongsam, I basically knew why the dishes were so expensive.

Of course, Xiaobai didn't come to the Admiral's Guild for meals because of these places.

She simply thought these things were delicious and convenient.

Anyway, when Xiaobai participated in the autumn deep-sea event a while ago, he earned a lot of merit points from Mu Yu in one go, so he can spend his own money with a clear conscience now.

Akagi's ship equipment space contains a card reader specifically for admirals to trade merit points.

After transferring a small portion of his merits from his own Admiral's Certificate to Bai Ying's Admiral's Certificate, Xiao Bai handed Bai Ying's Admiral's Certificate to Bai Ying.

"Bai Ying, here is your admiral's certificate."

“This is your admiral’s certificate.” Bai Ying ignored Xiao Bai’s actions. She looked down at the menu and murmured emotionlessly, “I’m giving you this admiral’s certificate as well. Didn’t you say you were afraid of trouble? Then you can just keep using my admiral’s certificate here.”

"Um...is it really okay?"

"Ah."

"Oh, then I'll accept it..."

"More than that, look, now I want to eat this, and this, and this." Bai Ying grabbed the menu, moved closer to Xiao Bai, and pointed at the colorful dishes on the menu with her little finger, saying to Xiao Bai, "Don't forget this, and this, and finally this and this."

Xiao Bai looked through the dishes that Bai Ying had ordered.

Ok.

I can tell from his eyes, he's the new big eater.

"Bai Ying, you ordered both Chinese and Western dishes. Is it alright to eat them all together?"

"No problem." Bai Ying nodded, then handed the menu to Xiao Bai. "It's your turn, hurry up."

"Then I'll have a plate of fried noodles..." Xiaobai took the menu and smiled at Bai Ying.

After noting down the order, the young lady bowed to Xiaobai and the others and left. A little while later, she led a line of waiters pushing food carts into the restaurant, and the dishes were served to the table one by one like they were on an assembly line.

Bai Ying has no dietary restrictions. The dishes she orders include Chinese, Western, and Japanese cuisine. Whether it's high-end and classy or large and filling and down-to-earth, there's something for everyone.

Bai Ying sat at the table, using chopsticks and a knife and fork from time to time, handling the dishes that were brought to the table with great elegance and speed. As dish after dish was brought to the table, the stack of empty plates next to Bai Ying grew higher and higher.

However, it was as if Miss Bai Ying's stomach was filled with a black hole. Food piled up almost as tall as Bai Ying herself went into her stomach, but it didn't expand her stomach even a little bit.

Xiao Bai and the others sat on the other side of the table, each holding a bowl of noodles and slurping as they watched Bai Ying.

Don't tell me.

Watching Bai Ying eat is really appetizing; it makes Xiao Bai want another bowl.

After finishing her meal, Xiaobai paid the bill with Baiying's admiral's certificate and left the admiral's guild with the ship girls.

After leaving the Admiral's Guild, Kaga kept glancing at Bai Ying from time to time.

"What do you see me doing?"

"Why doesn't your stomach get bigger even though you eat so much?" Kaga asked Bai Ying. "Are you using the ship's power?"

"No. It's just normal physical exertion," Bai Ying replied matter-of-factly.

"The greater your ability, the bigger your appetite?" Kaga asked bluntly.

"..." Bai Ying.

"Oh, right." Xiaobai, who had overheard the conversation between the two people behind her, seemed to suddenly remember something. Her eyes lit up, and she turned around to ask Bai Ying, "Speaking of which, Bai Ying, I still don't know what ship type you are. Can you tell me?"

“It’s not something that’s worth keeping secret.” Bai Ying nodded. “I’m an aircraft battleship.”

"An aircraft battleship?" Xiaobai was taken aback. "Ah... wait?"

"I know what you're thinking, but I'm not the aircraft battleship that the supply ship transforms into; I'm a proper aircraft battleship."

"Ah... I see. I'm sorry." Xiaobai smiled at Bai Ying and scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly.

Just now, Xiaobai really thought that Bai Ying was a super-standard transformation-class ship girl, just like Odin or Sukhbaatar.

However, judging from Bai Ying's reply, it seems that Xiao Bai is overthinking things.

Sukhbaatar and Odin are ultimately just a very few rare examples; it seems that most of the world's air battleships are just ordinary air battleships.

"So, Bai Ying, what's your ship's name?"

"I don't know," Bai Ying said.

"Huh? You don't even know that?"

“My prototype is probably just an unnamed ship. You can call me by my human name, it won’t cause you any trouble, will it?” Bai Ying asked.

"Oh no, no, Bai Ying, your name is so beautiful, how could you possibly cause any trouble?"

“…Thank you.” Bai Ying’s eyes lit up with a touch of warmth upon hearing Xiao Bai’s praise. “This is the name my mother gave me.”

“…Mom?” Xiaobai was taken aback, suddenly realizing that she seemed to have heard a very crucial word.

The warmth in Bai Ying's eyes lasted only a moment before disappearing. She seemed to realize that she had let something slip, so she closed her eyes and silently followed behind Xiao Bai, pretending to be a wooden doll.

“…I see…” Xiaobai murmured, turning her head back without asking Bai Ying any further questions. “Oh, speaking of which…I need to see if Mu Yu has replied to me yet…”

As Xiaobai spoke, he took out his phone and glanced at it.

The screen showed a reply that had been sent just a few minutes earlier.
