Elder brother's garrison

At this point, it's impossible to go with Fubuki like when we were still in Kogan.

"Do you have enough anti-submarine equipment?" Xiaobai asked.

"That's enough." Fubuki gave a thumbs up. "Please rest assured, Admiral, leave everything to Fubuki. Fubuki will definitely bring back a max-level Succou for you!"

A ship girl trying to reach max level by blasting fish is not very dangerous along the way, but it still takes quite a bit of time.

Even with the naval base's abundant resources and endless repair equipment, plus the help of five max-level ship girls, it would still take quite a while.

"Please don't push yourself too hard," Xiaobai said.

“No problem, shall we set off now, Fubuki?” Fubuki asked.

“That’s right! Right now!” Before Xiaobai could speak, Sukuf beside him answered quickly.

Time is of the essence!

Following Shiro's instructions, Fubuki, along with her three younger sisters and the sticky-together Sou and Sukufu, quickly ran towards the dock.

Although Fubuki may seem unreliable, she is actually a very dependable child.

Most of the people who were surrounding the area quickly disappeared.

It must be said that being efficient and decisive is also an advantage of destroyers.

Xiao Bai looked at the U81 that was still silently hugging him and couldn't help but laugh.

"Speaking of which, U47 and U81, why are you hanging out with destroyers today?"

"Haha," U47 laughed lightly. "It's fun."

u47 reached out and tugged at the shirt draped over u81's shoulders: "81, 81, it's time to go back. The admiral has to go back to work."

Although U47 looks just like Fubuki and Souku U81, appearing to be a very young girl, she is quite mature in her actions.

For this reason, U47 is always the flagship when submarines are in formation.

U47 is quite influential among submarine ship girls.

"Hmm." U81 let go, and the three wolf cubs on Little White's body bounced back onto U81's head.

u81 looked reluctant to leave.

"Then we're heading back too," U47 said, waving her hand. "If you need anything, feel free to ask us. Whether it's retrieving B25 or beating up the Deep Sea Dean, we'll do it perfectly for the Admiral!"

“U47 is really reliable,” Xiaobai said.

"Hehehe." U47 waved his hand, grabbed U81, and left.

Compared to destroyers that always want to be with the admiral, U47 still takes into account the admiral's busy schedule.

For a moment, only Changchun remained among the destroyers around it.

"Oh dear, I've accidentally become the sole commander-in-chief," Changchun said, holding Xiaobai's hand, his smile as bright as a blooming flower.

"Speaking of which, the destroyers moved so fast that I haven't had a chance to mention another thing yet," Xiaobai muttered to himself.

"Hmm? Is there something you need, Admiral?"

"I'm going away for further studies in a few days," Xiaobai said.

"Huh?" Changchun released his grip on Xiaobai in surprise. "The Admiral is going out again? He's only been back a few days."

Xiao Bai looked at Chang Chun's wide, round eyes with embarrassment.

I might be the most irresponsible admiral in the world.

"It's an order from above, there's nothing I can do about it," Xiaobai said with a helpless shrug. "And this time it will take quite a long time, probably no less than a month or two before I can come back."

"What about the garrison headquarters?" Changchun asked.

"The naval base said it could be temporarily closed because the admiral is taking further training. It's not too much trouble; it's basically a holiday for everyone," Xiaobai said. "Strictly speaking, it just means that most official duties are suspended. It's not much different from normal life."

"Oh..." Changchun lowered his head in disappointment.

The destroyers really liked this trustworthy admiral.

The new admiral is very kind and gentle, and he spends a lot of time playing with the destroyers.

Even if the admiral is just sitting with the destroyers, chatting and drinking tea, it's still a very happy thing.

It's very lonely when I can't see the admiral.

"Speaking of which, Changchun, would you like to come out with me?" Xiaobai asked.

"Eek!" Changchun looked up at Xiaobai with starry eyes and said, "Can I go? Little Changchun wants to go!"

As he spoke, Changchun jumped up and down with joy.

The plump fruit on her chest swayed precariously like fruit tree branches swaying in the autumn wind.

"Ha...ha...ha." Xiaobai laughed, "There's no limit to the number of ship girls you can bring this time, so we can bring more. Changchun can come with us on a trip or something."

"Mmm-hmm!" Changchun happily hugged Xiaobai's waist, revealing an innocent smile. "Changchun wants to go! Changchun wants to be with the Admiral!"

"I was thinking of discussing this with Fubuki and the others... but they walked too fast and I didn't know where to start a conversation," Shiro said, somewhat troubled.

"It's alright, Admiral. Changchun will tell her about every day she spent with you when she gets back!" Changchun said, letting go of her hand. "When are you leaving, Admiral?"

"The next two days, maybe."

"Changchun, go back and pack your things!" Changchun said excitedly to Xiaobai upon hearing this, then turned and ran home.

Once Xiaobai realized what was happening, he could only wave his hand at the air.

Actually, Lexington gave a lot of suggestions regarding the ship girls that could be taken with them during this training program.

Before coming to Missouri, Lexington had suggested to White that he, Bismarck, and Hood bring along to ensure his safety, and that it wouldn't be a problem to bring along a few destroyers who wanted to stay with White as well.

Unfortunately, Missouri later joined the naval base. Even though the naval base was in a semi-closed state, the news still had to be relayed to higher-ups, and Missouri caused quite a stir there.

There have been many more official duties that cannot be ignored even when the app is turned off.

Lexington felt that she wouldn't be able to follow Little White anytime soon.

Xiaobai also mentioned this to Bismarck, and Bismarck said that there was nothing that could be done about Lexington.

The naval base will eventually have to function.

Xiao Bai returned to the dormitory building and walked to Hu De's door.

Oh no, it should be in front of Hood and Missouri's house now.

Xiao Bai rummaged through his clothes and pulled out a silver keychain.

Because Hood has already given Xiaobai the key, Hood will absolutely not open the door for her if Xiaobai knocks.

Xiaobai took the key and opened the door.

As soon as Xiaobai opened the door, he saw Missouri with her sleeves rolled up, kneeling on the floor wiping it with a snow-white rag.

Her virtuous and earnest expression perfectly resembled that of a devoted wife and mother.

"Oh, it's the Admiral!" Missouri looked up, saw Little White, and immediately gave a generous smile.

"Huh? The commander is here?" Hood emerged from the living room.

Xiao Bai took off her shoes and walked in.

"Ah, I'm here to discuss something with you about a few days from now," Xiaobai said, scratching his face sheepishly.

Hood and Missouri finished their chores and set them aside, making room in the living room.

The three of them sat together around the floor table.

"What does the Commander want to discuss?" Hood asked, placing a chilled orange, fresh from the refrigerator, in front of Xiaobai.

"Ah, actually I'm going out in two or three days, and I probably won't be back for a month or two..." Xiaobai said.

"...You've only been back for a few days and you're already going out again?" Hood asked.

Clearly, this isn't the first person to say this.

Xiao Bai could only offer a helpless smile.

“Senior, please allow the Admiral to finish speaking,” Missouri said.

"Oh, sorry, sorry," Hood said. Seeing that Xiaobai hadn't eaten the orange yet, he reached out and peeled the orange, placing the cool, firm flesh into Xiaobai's hand.

"Ah, is that so? I wanted to bring Hood along this time." Xiaobai broke off a crescent-shaped piece of orange and put it into her mouth.

Sweet and sour.

“Great!” Hood said happily. “I’d love to.”

“Admiral, Missouri wants to go too.” Missouri chimed in, “Missouri thinks she can be of help to the Admiral.”

“Hmm.” Xiaobai nodded. “But you can’t leave the naval base lately because Missouri just joined, and there are a lot of letters coming in from all over the world that you can’t ignore. There may be a lot of naval bases coming to visit.”

“Missouri isn’t some treasure for people to visit.” Missouri was unusually a little emotional. “Besides, Missouri has plenty of reasons to get the Admiral to take her there.”

This piqued Xiaobai's curiosity.

“Missouri has lived alone for a long time and is very familiar with human society,” Missouri said. “Before the Admiral came to take over, he was just a child under the care of his parents. He probably doesn’t know much about the things in society. Missouri can help the Admiral solve this problem.”

“Missouri knows where housing prices are cheap, and she also knows the lifestyles of some mainstream cities. Moreover, Missouri used to be a model and has made many remarkable friends in human society.” Missouri put her hand on her chest and said, “As the saying goes, you rely on your friends when you’re away from home. Missouri thinks that with her abilities and social circle, she should be able to help the Admiral a lot.”

"As a member of society, being with Missouri is a decision the Admiral will never regret. Please take Missouri with you."

Missouri is a ship girl who has been in human society for a long time, which is a huge advantage that Bismarck and Hood cannot match.

Xiao Bai was stunned by what Missouri said, and unconsciously nodded.

It seems that bringing Missouri along might actually be a good idea.

Little White raised its head.

I'm planning to leave tomorrow.

Taking the ship girls along for further training or something.

She couldn't help laughing.

I wonder what kind of people I'll meet.

Chapter 110 Luo Lian [Bonus Chapter 5/7]

Luo Lian looked at herself in the mirror.

Black hair and black eyes, elegant appearance, and a serious demeanor.

She adjusted her red-rimmed glasses, combed her hair, slung her heavy schoolbag over her shoulder, and left home.

Luo Lian is a high school student from a wealthy family and has a good appearance.

As one of the many high school students, Luo Lian led a monotonous life, just like other students.

As a day student, my life revolves around home, school, and the cafeteria; the rest of the time is spent studying endlessly.

There weren't many people on the streets yet, and the damp morning air made the quiet roads seem even more deserted.

Luo Lian is also an outstanding person.

Since she could remember, Luo Lian had almost never come in second place in any written test, always dominating the grade rankings with her absolute strength.

In any physical exam, Luo Lian has never lost first place, and even many boys can't beat her.

As for interpersonal relationships, although Luo Lian is not the type to make friends with heroes from all over the world, he is still a top-notch individual in both intelligence and physical ability, so he can be considered popular.

And most importantly, Luo Lian hardly made any effort in these areas.

All achievements seem to belong to them as a matter of course.

It's as if the protagonist was born with a Mary Sue/overpowered protagonist template.

Yes, Luo Lian is such an outstanding person.

Luo Lian pursed her lips as she walked down the street.

Go faster and faster.

Luo Lian's face darkened.

...I'm so angry.
