Elder brother's garrison

“…Snacks…” Tirpitz walked up to Little White and whispered in its ear, “My…snacks…”

Tirpitz's breath smelled sweet, with a rich aroma of chocolate and cereal. The wind was just the right strength, tickling Little White's ears.

Little White quickly reached out and pushed Tirpitz's stomach, making Tirpitz take several steps back.

"No, maybe some ship girl was hungry and just, just borrowed it to eat a little!" Xiaobai quickly said to Tirpitz.

"They don't even use nets to wipe out fishermen, at least leave me a bag of chips," Tirpitz muttered.

"Maybe they've been starving for a long time! We should be understanding!"

"I'm the type of person who would die if I didn't eat potato chips for three hours."

"Huh?? Then you're in great danger... What the hell! What kind of weird constitution is that!"

"Sorry, I was just kidding."

"As expected!" Xiaobai took a couple of deep breaths, clutching her chest to catch her breath. "Anyway, how about I buy you another bag of snacks when I get back tonight?"

“…” Tirpitz paused, looking at Little White in silence for a while.

"Tirpitz? What's wrong?"

"Xiaobai, I only see you as a little sister. If you're trying to woo me, you might be disappointed."

"Huh???" Xiaobai was taken aback.

"But if you promise to buy me snacks every time, it's okay for you to touch my body." Tirpitz blankly held up two fingers. "Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm actually quite pretty among the ship girls when I dress up."

"Wait a minute... why did the topic suddenly veer to this strange point?"

"Huh? Didn't you want to support me with snacks?"

"No way! How could any ship girl be willing to be taken care of just for a few bags of snacks!"

"I am willing."

"But I don't want to!"

"Tsk." Tirpitz made a sound as his plan failed.

"Honestly! Why do you always do this, Tirpitz!"

“Eh…” Tirpitz gave me an innocent look, as if to say, “Didn’t you bring this up first? Why are you blaming me?”

"There's a misunderstanding! There's definitely a misunderstanding between us!"

Xiao Bai was getting a little frustrated by Tirpitz's bizarre ideas, which were clearly a level above his own.

"But why would you buy me snacks for no reason..."

"Of course it's because we're good friends! Is that not allowed?!"

"...Oh, I see. Well, thank you, Xiaobai. I like you the most too."

"Honestly! Tirpitz, you always..."

"..."

"..."

"Huh?" Xiaobai was taken aback and looked up slightly.

Standing before him was Tirpitz, who was unusually girlish, with her hands behind her back, quietly smiling at him.

Xiaobai was caught off guard by Tirpitz's sudden straight shot.

"Tirpitz, you..."

"Beep." Tirpitz held up a finger. "See, I still have some charm, don't I? So how about considering 'sweetheart' as a pet..."

Tirpitz hadn't finished speaking.

Her chest.

Xiao Bai, blushing and jumping up from his seat, seemed to have suffered a great humiliation and angrily unleashed a series of Pegasus Meteor Fist attacks.

The chapter refresh feature I mentioned yesterday seems to work too; clicking the refresh button in the upper right corner of the chapter menu also works.

and also.

It's the end of the month today, and the blades will expire in a few hours. It would be a waste not to use them. So, please give any unwanted blades to the author who is most likely to procrastinate.

Chapter 1124 Little White Proves Himself

Tirpitz's way of thinking is so peculiar that even Xiaobai, who lives with her, sometimes finds it difficult to predict her next move, thus suffering from her teasing and having to resort to violence to vent his grievances of being mocked.

Of course, violence is violence, but Xiaobai is not so shameless as to use the power of the ship's equipment on the ship girl. So even though Xiaobai is pounding on Tirpitz's chest, it feels to Tirpitz more like pounding on the shoulder.

It's just an itch.

"I don't mind if you keep hammering, but if you keep doing this, you might be late." Bathed in the sound of hammering shoulders, Tirpitz turned his head slightly and whispered a reminder.

The heavy rain gradually subsided.

Xiao Bai stopped what she was doing, bent over, supported herself with her legs, and took deep breaths.

"Tirpitz, you...you're so mean..."

“Is that so? I mean it sincerely,” Tirpitz said.

"You're definitely trying to trick me into buying you snacks again!"

“…” Tirpitz’s gaze wandered for a moment.

Xiao Bai muttered to himself as he raised his head, his gaze falling on North Carolina, who had been following Tirpitz around since the beginning.

"...Speaking of which, Tirpitz."

"Ok?"

Why are you with North Carolina?

"I don't know, I found her next to me when I woke up this morning." Tirpitz looked down at North Carolina, who was stuck to him like a magnet, with a calm expression that showed no fighting spirit. "Anyway, if you can help me take her away, I'll thank you."

"Huh? Tirpitz, you don't like North Carolina?"

"Children are all devils."

"North Carolina is considered to be one of the more obedient kids."

"That's an obedient devil."

“…Ah, so Tirpitz doesn’t like children.” Little White smiled as he looked at Tirpitz’s chubby face.

makes sense.

Despite Tirpitz's mature physique, her hobbies and lifestyle—including having Bismarck wash her panties—make her seem more like a child.

Tirpitz probably doesn't have much patience to take care of other children.

“Hmm, I understand the general situation, but why is North Carolina here with you, Tirpitz?” Xiaobai asked, stretching out her hands to North Carolina. “North Carolina, over here.”

North Carolina glanced at Little White silently, then quietly stepped out from behind Tirpitz, took Little White's hand, and walked into Little White's embrace.

"It's really impressive how popular you are with kids," Tirpitz said to the little white boy who was hugging North Carolina.

"Oh dear, as for ship girls, both destroyers and North Carolina are very cute and obedient girls, very easy to take care of, you see." As Xiaobai spoke, she rubbed her face against North Carolina's cheek, and then gave Tirpitz an innocent smile.

“That makes sense, like attracts like,” Tirpitz muttered under his breath.

"Huh? Tirpitz, did you just say something?"

“I just said you would be a good mother.”

"Ah... I see, thank you Tirpitz!" Little White seemed greatly encouraged.

"That's all I have to say. Farewell. I'm going back to sleep if there's nothing else. Wake me up before we set off." North Carolina left, and Tirpitz, having nothing else to do, yawned widely before stretching and walking back to his room.

She just said she had a good night's sleep.

They turned hostile after only a few words.

Women are so fickle.

Xiaobai waved to Tirpitz and turned his attention to North Carolina.

North Carolina has always been a clingy and quiet child. Now, nestled in Xiaobai's arms, she is as obedient as a pendant, clinging to Xiaobai's waist and refusing to let go.

Xiao Bai rubbed North Carolina's little head.

"North Carolina, why did you go to see Tirpitz today? Isn't Washington with you?" Xiaobai asked, her eyes unconsciously scanning the yard.

"One, two, one! One, two, one! Ten pounds of firewood each, no shipboard support allowed, move it! Freedom—the people's hope!! Unity—is strength!!! Hesitation—will lead to defeat!!!"

At the other end of the yard, Washington, carrying several large bundles of firewood on her shoulders, was running around the yard with several rows of ship girls who usually trained with her.

Even across half the courtyard, a passionate, fiery aura seemed to scorch Xiaobai's face.

"Ah...so you're doing your morning exercises. No wonder you're not with Washington." Xiaobai smiled awkwardly. She looked for Missouri's location and found him leading several rows of destroyers in a square formation, doing morning exercises behind the gate of the courtyard house.

Speaking of the strange job of leading destroyers in morning exercises, Xiaobai didn't know when Missouri was assigned to it. However, compared to Wisconsin, who was temporarily filling in yesterday and looked listless, Missouri's movements in the morning exercises were quite neat and orderly. She jumped and bent over as she was supposed to, and her attitude was very proper.

North Carolina usually stays by Washington's side in the naval base. Sometimes when Washington goes out for drinks and games, North Carolina will go to Missouri. At this time, Washington and Missouri seem to be too busy, so North Carolina, being a support ship girl, will naturally find a third host in the future.

--Um?

However, Xiaobai still doesn't understand why North Carolina would go to Tirpitz.

Logically speaking, shouldn't the third person to seek help be himself?

Xiao Bai frowned, his gaze sweeping over Washington's proud chest, which was dripping with sweat, before looking at Missouri, the kindergarten teacher, who was jumping around surrounded by destroyers, her chest heaving. His eyebrows twitched uncontrollably a few times.

Yes.

The newbie doesn't understand at all.

Why exactly?

It is truly a global problem.

Xiaobai gave up thinking.

Xiao Bai sighed deeply, and unconsciously used a little more force when rubbing North Carolina's little head, making North Carolina's head sway left and right.

"Washington probably brought you here because she was worried about you being alone at the naval base, right?" Xiaobai said to North Carolina. "Then when we go on the expedition, North Carolina, you can stay by my side, okay?"

Xiao Bai withdrew his palm.

North Carolina raised her head, her innocent, fawn-like eyes fixed on Little White's inexplicably eager expression, yearning to prove herself.

Hesitated slightly.

I have some doubts.

But in the end, she nodded.

Chapter 1125 Event: Marching Off!

After breakfast, while the ship girls were getting ready, Shiro found Washington and asked her if she could temporarily take care of North Carolina while she was away on her mission.

Washington was somewhat surprised by Xiaobai's request, but he was very happy.

Washington took care of North Carolina's daily life not because she liked children. In fact, although her reasons were different from Tirpitz's, Washington was not the type to enjoy being around children. She took care of North Carolina simply because she was worried about North Carolina.

After all, this brat can occasionally explode and grow from a cute little girl into a mature woman, or even a proud and arrogant girl. Who knows what might happen to her?

Since Xiao Bai was willing to help take care of North Carolina while he was away on campaign, Washington naturally raised his hands in approval.

After the ship girls in the courtyard finished preparing their ship equipment, Xiaobai gathered them together and told them about the mysterious sea deep in the ocean, as well as that the Deep Sea Yamato was currently in a state of being too modern, so the bracelet's hardware couldn't power her ship equipment and she could only stay on the surface of the sea.

As for the newbie naval girls, most of them are used to their admirals' unconventional tactics. After learning about the mysterious sea area full of Abyssal Lords, the ship girls expressed their desire to explore it or even go on a farming spree. Some ship girls also expressed some concerns, wondering if it might be dangerous.

However, when Xiaobai expressed that the Mysterious Sea was a high-level monster-hunting area for newbies, the ship girls all agreed and said, "Okay, we're good at monster-hunting, leave it to us, and we'll clear the sea within a week."

Then, regarding the matter of Deepsea Yamato, the ship girls were surprisingly in agreement.

what?

The Deep Sea Yamato has reached the surface of the sea, and it's going to stay there for another week?

Oops.

This week, my clothes got torn, and no one kindly offered to mend them for free.
