Elder brother's garrison

—Although I don’t quite understand why this woman would feed me this kind of snack that even Yamato from the Deep Sea wouldn’t dare to give me a bite of.

—But she said that these seemed to have been given to me by the white-haired little human girl next door.

——Okay, I love it!

The purple whale silently elevated Little White's status even higher in its heart.

Then it was lifted up a little more.

It was raised to a position roughly the same height as the Deep Sea Yamato.

"It seems Senior Whale is quite pleased as well," Missouri said with a smile, tossing pieces of deep-sea metal to the purple whale one after another.

Suddenly, Missouri paused, her arm, which was swinging the deep-sea metal, looking at the purple whale that was eagerly waiting for her to make its move. A strange look of doubt flashed across her eyes.

"Ah, speaking of which..."

"Why does the whale's call sound so much like a country dog?"

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Wow.

Waves crashed against the ship's rigging.

After kissing Shiro's forehead, Yamato sat up and turned her head to the side. She wiped her mouth and then looked at the sea with a somewhat awkward expression.

The sound of crashing waves echoed around the ship's rigging.

It was surprisingly quiet.

Xiaobai, who was lying on the ship's equipment, stared at the Deep Sea Yamato with wide eyes for a while. Then she sat up with some confusion and touched her forehead.

Right in the middle of his forehead, Xiaobai could vaguely feel a damp spot, like a chick pecking at rice.

"Huh? Yamato-neechan?" Shiro looked at Deep Sea Yamato, who was clearly acting strangely, with some confusion. "Why are you suddenly thanking me?"

The relationship between Shiro and Yamato is so deep that it's normal for them to have intimate interactions from time to time. Kissing each other on the forehead is really no big deal for Shiro.

Hearing Xiaobai's innocent question, Shenhai Yamato's shoulders trembled involuntarily. She turned around awkwardly, looked at Xiaobai, and then at the white whale that had been staying next to Xiaobai's ship equipment since earlier.

Unlike the shameful purple whale, the white whale possesses groundbreaking super ship equipment, exuding an aloof and superior aura, like a peerless master.

However, this seemingly superior and unparalleled master, upon seeing Shiro, revealed a pathetic, husky-like demeanor, much like a purple whale. Not only did he allow Shiro to pet him at will, but he even twisted his body to meet Shiro's palm. After Abyssal Yamato pounced on Shiro, the whale even shook its head slightly in a panic, staring at Shiro with a somewhat nervous gaze.

Make sense.

—Deep Sea Yamato isn't stupid either.

After what happened with Xiaobai last night, a white whale inexplicably popped into my ship's rigging the next day. It even possessed a super main gun that I, the Yamato battleship, should never have. This whale, which had previously ignored even its master, completely collapsed its aloof persona the moment it saw Xiaobai, turning into Xiaobai's loyal lapdog...

"Xiaobai, have you changed strangely today?" Shenhai Yamato did not answer Xiaobai's question, but lowered his head, interlaced his fingers with some hesitation, and asked in a low voice.

"Strange changes? Hmm... no." Xiaobai answered honestly, raising her eyes and thinking for a moment, "But... if I had to say... right, my ship equipment, for some reason, even though it still has some resources left, suddenly went into energy-saving mode. Why are you asking this, Yamato-neechan?"

"..." Yamato Fukami lowered his head.

it is good.

Stone hammered.

I think my beluga whale probably came from Little White.

Yamato Sumida sighed.

Deepsea Yamato thanked Xiaobai before, and indeed, she didn't thank the wrong person.

but……

The current situation is true...

Embarrassed.

Yamato's face turned extremely embarrassed.

I have to give an explanation for the appearance of this white whale, right?

I've been with Xiaobai for so long and my body hasn't changed at all, but just last night, a little life suddenly popped out.

So basically, it was the new way of getting along between myself and Xiaobai last night that led to the birth of this white whale.

Um... last night...

but……

How should I explain what happened last night to Xiaobai?

Yamato faces enormous challenges.

For a moment, my shoulders felt incredibly heavy.

Alexander.

"...Shiro..." After thinking for a long time, Yamato Abyss finally spoke with difficulty.

"Well, I'm here."

"Little White, the energy that was missing from your ship's equipment... should have ended up here with me."

"..." Xiaobai blinked and remained quiet for a while.

Subsequently.

Xiao Bai looked up and was startled: "Huh?!"

"Yes." Yamato Aqua lowered his head, pointing somewhat dejectedly at the white whale beside him, his voice lacking confidence, like a criminal pointing at evidence to confess while his handcuffs were being heated.

Xiaobai looked in the direction that Shenhai Yamato was pointing.

The white whale was blinking frantically at Little White.

"Huh? Huh?! Huh... Ah..."

Xiao Bai was stunned for a while, then nodded blankly.

“Oh right… Ah… I see.” Xiaobai lowered his head and looked at his palm. “The energy of ship equipment is not just resources, but also the admiral's network, which serves as a form of spiritual power…”

After Yamato's honest confession, Shiro suddenly understood.

Xiaobai's network of admirals, due to the sheer size of his spiritual energy, underwent a qualitative change from quantitative change, acquiring numerous variant abilities.

One of the abilities is to rapidly improve the ship girls' equipment level by integrating one's own admiral network into the ship girls' equipment.

Xiaobai discovered this ability when he accidentally built a constellation in Saratoga. Later, in order to familiarize himself with the skill, Xiaobai took a few opportunities to test it out, and maxed out the training levels of Yixian, Royal Oak, and Wisconsin.

Yes.

Since I can improve the training level of ship girls, I can naturally improve the training level of deep-sea amphibious ships too, right?

Rather, it's more accurate to say that he is currently using the ship equipment of the Deepsea Abomination Ship, and his body is inhabited by the Deepsea Will and tens of thousands of Deepsea Taihou. His abilities are basically given to him after the Deepsea Will merged with him, so it is perfectly normal for his abilities to work on the Deepsea Abomination Ship.

It would be strange if I couldn't improve the training level of the deep-sea amphibious ships.

Little White looked at the white whale with great surprise.

Although the changes to the Abyssal Yamato's equipment can no longer be simply summarized as "increasing training level", the effect of increasing training level is only what a newbie has verified on ship girls. Perhaps the effect produced on the Abyssal Ark is the true effect of his own admiral network?

That makes sense.

If it's just about leveling up the ship girls, Xiaobai doesn't need to expend too much mental effort. But evolving the Deepsea Dean's ship equipment...

It's obvious at a glance that the consumption must be considerable.

When one's mental energy is depleted, it's perfectly normal to revert to being an ordinary person.

Seeing Yamato Abyss kneeling on the ground with his head down, looking ashamed and embarrassed, wringing his hands awkwardly, Shiro's eyes lit up.

—To become an ordinary person again.

—Having ordinary life experiences.

—That, that's simply…

--marvelous!!!

If you say so.

My insomnia is cured!!!

I'll never tear Da Feng apart with my hands again!!!

Chapter 1118 Awakening?!

Little White is very happy now.

I'm very happy.

Overjoyed beyond measure.

It may be difficult for ordinary people to understand.

However, insomnia is actually a rather tormenting condition.

Even if Xiaobai's insomnia is simply due to the overwhelming energy provided by the ship's equipment, making it impossible for Xiaobai to feel sleepy, and it doesn't wear down the patient's spirit like ordinary insomnia, but exists as a side effect of being full of energy, in any case, difficulty falling asleep is a very troublesome thing.

Especially for a child like Xiaobai who has developed strict routines since childhood and is used to going to bed on time every night, not being able to feel sleepy has reached a point where it can dampen Xiaobai's enthusiasm for life.

Every night, Xiaobai would lie in bed, close his eyes, and count one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, in a state of clear consciousness, groping in the darkness for a trace of sleep that might appear at any moment.

So even after a whole day, because the ship equipment entered energy-saving mode, Xiaobai lost the strength and energy that ship girls usually have, and started to feel hungry like a normal human being because she hadn't eaten for a few meals, and felt sleepy because of a day's activities.

However, Xiaobai was still very happy to be able to enjoy a normal life again after a long time.

Xiao Bai was even a little reluctant to part with it, and was looking forward to the next opportunity for the ship's equipment to enter energy-saving mode.

Now, Deepsea Yamato tells Shiro that the reason Shiro is like this today is because last night, while they were sleeping together, Shiro unintentionally used up her mental energy on the ship equipment that was evolving Deepsea Yamato.

This event was like opening a door to a whole new world for Xiaobai.

Shiro stared at Yamato in the deep sea with sparkling eyes, his gaze filled with admiration.

It was like a drowning person seeing driftwood, or a hungry person seeing a hamburger—it was an overwhelming joy.

Deep Sea Yamato had no idea what Shiro was thinking. When talking about this matter, Deep Sea Yamato felt more guilty towards Shiro than about the significant increase in his own strength.

"Shiro... I'm sorry..." Shiro was the person on the entire land with whom Yamato Abyss was closest. Yamato Abyss naturally didn't want to be disliked by Shiro, and even less did he want to deceive Shiro. Yamato Abyss honestly apologized, his voice full of desolation, "Um... I'm sorry, don't be angry with me..."

"Huh? I'm not angry?" Xiaobai put her hands together and smiled.

"But I took advantage of the moment when you weren't paying attention, Xiaobai..."

"Ah... mental strength, it's alright, Yamato-neechan! That kind of thing will naturally be replenished with a good night's sleep!" Shiro nodded, her eyes gleaming like the two brightest stars in the night. "Compared to such trivial matters! Yamato-neechan, from now on..."

"I know! I know!" Yamato Fukami quickly replied, "I, I'll be more careful to keep my distance from you from now on... I won't sneak into your bed while you're sleeping anymore..."

As he spoke, Yamato's nose turned a little red.

"Huh?! That, that won't do!!" Xiaobai was stunned, and hurriedly stretched out her hand, waving it frantically, "No! No! Absolutely not!"

"Huh? This won't work?" Yamato's shocked eyes held a hint of despair.

Yamato thought that as long as he promised not to sneak into Shiro's bed to take advantage of her again, thereby weakening Shiro's mental strength, Shiro might forgive him for his behavior this time, given their relationship.

Although it will be a little lonely not being able to sleep with Xiaobai anymore, it's still much better than Xiaobai hating me.

Moreover.

For some reason, Deepsea Yamato particularly dislikes hearing Shiro say things like "I hate Yamato-neechan" or "Please keep your distance from me, Yamato-neechan."

Although Yamato knew very well that it was normal for Shiro to say those two sentences, she had a premonition that if Shiro actually said them, she would suffer a great emotional blow.

That's why Deepsea Yamato interrupted just now, admitting his mistake before Shiro could.

But unexpectedly, for the first time in hundreds of years, Yamato bowed her head and admitted her mistakes to others. She had already suffered such humiliation and loss of power, yet Shiro was still not satisfied.

what……

Come to think of it, human girls seem to value their purity very much...

It’s over.

Little White is... about to kick me out of the house.

She hates me...

Yamato sniffed, and his expression instantly turned pitiful. His eyes were hot, and hot tears seemed ready to stream down his face at any moment.

"I...I understand...I'm sorry..."
