Elder brother's garrison

"Your admiral is very fond of you!"

"Miss ship girl, you must be very popular with your admiral!"

"I'm so jealous!"

Several waitresses near the ship girl flattered her with envy.

In Chapter Six, even people in upscale places like clothing stores have some knowledge and experience related to ship girls.

The ship girl, holding the booklet and smiling, walked to the counter.

"Do I need to fill in information here?"

"Yes."

"Hmm... I just came out of the construction facility today, and I don't have a ship girl number yet..."

"Uh, well... in short, our store puts customers first. You can fill in the optional part."

"it is good."

The ship girl picked up a pen, made a few marks on the "life" and "birthday" sections, and handed it to the staff.

"Received. This is our VIP card. You can use it after activation. From now on, you will enjoy a 15% discount on high-end items, a 15% discount on mid-range items, and a 20% discount on regular items." The salesperson said, holding up a booklet. "Would you like me to repeat that? Hmm...hmm?!"

The staff member looked at the booklet in his hand.

I looked at the name several times.

Sudden.

He rubbed his eyes vigorously, as if he hadn't woken up properly.

A look of disbelief.

"Uh...uh?? Clothes...clothes..."

"Miss Iowa?!"

Chapter 1199 Iowa (6000 words)

Xiao Bai waited for two minutes at the entrance of the clothing store.

Soon, with the sound of a door opening behind them, the ship girl who had stayed in the store to fill out forms pushed open the door and came out.

"Awaited."

"It didn't take long at all." Xiaobai turned around and looked at the ship girl. "Sister, have you gotten your membership card yet?"

The ship girl walked out of the clothing store, carrying a bag of neatly packaged clothes. She lifted the bag with a helpless expression and shrugged at Xiaobai.

"No, the membership card wasn't processed."

"Ah? Why?"

"Who knows? Everything was going smoothly until just now, but when it came to filling out the forms, they pushed me out looking all scared as soon as I finished." The ship girl muttered as she walked over to Xiaobai. "Next time, I guess I'll wait until I get my ship girl ID card before registering for a membership card."

"???" Xiaobai looked completely clueless about what had happened.

"Alright, let's not think about those things anymore." The ship girl tugged at her chest, looking at her brand-new top with satisfaction. "Anyway, little sister, you paid for it after all, it would be a shame not to give your opinion, right? Do you think my outfit looks good?"

After speaking, the ship girl gently twirled around in front of Xiaobai, fully displaying her new clothes to him.

"...Big sister, you have a great figure and you're beautiful. You look good in anything." Xiaobai was already used to being asked to comment on clothes by the ship girls. She answered the ship girls' questions in a fairly standard way, but then changed the subject, "However, big sister, I'm just lending you money... so you still have to pay it back."

"Mmm." The ship girl put her hands behind her back and nodded with a smile at Xiaobai. "Even I wouldn't take advantage of a minor, so please don't worry, little sister."

"……Well."

"Well, how about this? Since I don't have any money on me right now, how about my admiral takes care of paying you back, little sister?" The ship girl suddenly asked Shiro as if she had thought of something.

"That doesn't matter."

Xiaobai nodded to the ship girl.

Although the outfit the ship girl was wearing was quite expensive, Xiaobai didn't care about the money. The reason Xiaobai reminded the ship girl that the money was just a loan and that she should return it was simply because the ship girl wasn't his own. There's always a difference in closeness, and he needed to make a symbolic statement.

—Of course, this ship girl does look quite good in this outfit, and Xiaobai feels a kind of joy, like playing with a dress-up doll. Anyway, the whole outfit only costs about the same as a snack for Xiaobai, so whether she pays back the money or not is irrelevant.

"Alright, that's settled then. I, your admiral, will return your money to you, little sister." The ship girl extended her right pinky finger to Xiaobai. "It's a deal."

Although Xiaobai wasn't very enthusiastic about shaking hands, she had developed a muscle memory for pinky promises. When she saw the ship girl extend her little finger towards her, Xiaobai subconsciously reached out and pulled her little finger together.

"...Sister, you really are a shameless person..." Xiaobai smiled helplessly at the ship girl, "Will your stingy admiral help you pay back the money...?"

"Hmm...you never know." The ship girl hooked her little finger around Shiro's and gently shook it in mid-air. "But actually, I'm quite satisfied with my admiral."

"...Even if it's stingy?"

"Hahaha..." The ship girl was amused by Xiaobai's words and laughed. She gently covered her mouth, shook her head at Xiaobai, and suppressed her laughter.

—This ship girl is a really strange person.

Looking at the ship girl in front of him, Xiaobai thought to himself with a strange feeling.

Overall... although she seems a bit inexplicably outgoing, she does seem to be a rather gentle older sister?

She must be someone who cherishes her clothes, but even after being hit by a destroyer and getting her expensive-looking clothes dirty, she didn't get angry at the destroyer.

He's quite friendly and seems to have a bit of a sense of humor.

More importantly, it gives the feeling that placing it at home can ward off evil spirits and protect the house, just like a business establishment does...

Ok?

Home?

Thinking of this, Xiaobai suddenly remembered that there were things waiting for her at the courtyard house. She lowered her head and glanced at her phone.

The time on the phone showed that Xiaobai had been with this ship girl for almost half an hour.

"Ah...has it been that long already..." Xiaobai put away her phone and looked at the ship girl. "Sister, I have some things to take care of at home and I have to go back soon, so I won't be able to stay with you any longer."

"Huh? So fast?" The ship girl covered her mouth, blinked, and looked at Xiaobai curiously.

"Hmm..." Xiaobai nodded. She looked at the ship girl's big eyes staring at her, then looked down and opened her wallet. She searched inside and found a black credit card.

This credit card has a long history.

This was the first time Xiaobai went to the first chapter. When she first met Mr. Barbatos, the president of the Admiral's Guild in the first chapter, Mr. Barbatos gave it to Xiaobai as a gift. The credit card had a lot of merit points built into it, and Xiaobai gave it to Fubuki and the others as pocket money.

Fubuki and Shirayuki's purchasing power is about the same as that of elementary school students who only stare at glass beads and rock candy on the street. They can spend the money in their credit card without spending even a tenth of it. So Fubuki and Shirayuki returned the card to Shirayuki before returning to the naval base, and Shirayuki put it in his wallet and has kept it ever since.

"Sister, you don't have any money on you right now, do you?" Xiaobai handed the black credit card to the ship girl in front of her. "Sister, you must be a large ship, right? Ship girls of your size can actually earn a very high salary. When you go back, don't forget to ask your admiral for your salary. Here, take this card and buy some things you like. But remember to return it to me after you get your salary back."

"Oh my?" The ship girl covered her mouth slightly, looking at the black credit card that Xiaobai handed her in surprise. "Is this a loan for me?"

"Well, you told me at first that you were rich, so if you're rich, how sad would it be if you didn't have a single penny on you..." Xiaobai held up and down her credit card in front of the ship girl, "Anyway, because I have to go back soon and can't stay with you any longer, um... anyway..."

"In short?"

"...Anyway...take this as a temporary measure..." Xiaobai shook the credit card in his hand with a somewhat inexplicable embarrassment.

"...This little sister looks so fair and innocent, but she's surprisingly adept at using sweet talk than most people." The ship girl smiled at Xiaobai.

"Eh?!"

"When did I, as a sister, give you the impression that I'm someone who can be easily dealt with as long as I have money...?"

"Huh? Uh... no, no, I didn't mean that... I just really..."

Upon hearing this, Xiaobai suddenly panicked and awkwardly began to explain.

"Yeah, I was just kidding, little sister, you don't need to be so nervous." The ship girl waved her hand, then walked up to Xiaobai, smiling at her while gently covering Xiaobai's hand with her own. "...Anyway, I still really like rich people like you, little sister. I'll accept the card you lent me, little sister?"

"Um... um."

"How about the Admiral pays off the rest of the debt, sister?"

"I don't care... but what about your stingy admiral, sister..."

"It's alright, as long as you don't mind, little sister." The ship girl raised her right hand, and the black credit card fluttered back and forth between her slender fingers like an ink butterfly. "It feels nice."

The tumbling black credit card flew into the air and was finally caught firmly by the ship girl's two fingers.

"Thanks to the little sister, now I can buy some things I like." The ship girl smiled at Xiaobai.

"Hmm? What do you want to buy, sister?"

"tub."

"Huh? A bathtub?"

"Yes...a bathtub is a really nice thing. I really hope there will be one in my future port dormitory." The ship girl murmured, seemingly answering but not quite, her tone making it a little hard for Xiaobai to understand.

Time cannot be wasted any longer.

After briefly telling the mysteriously smiling ship girl the approximate location of the courtyard house where the newbie naval base was located, Xiaobai said goodbye to the strange ship girl in front of her and left so that she could quickly return to the courtyard house to greet Duan Shuiliu's ship girls.

Xiao Bai walked back towards the courtyard house.

They avoided the streets teeming with people.

Less than ten minutes.

Xiao Bai returned to the gate of the courtyard house.

The gate of the courtyard house was ajar.

There were faint sounds of people moving around inside the gate.

Most of the ship girls in the newbie naval base are currently working as counter staff at the lost and found center of the Admiral's Guild in order to clean up the mess left by Abyssal Yamato. The four courtyards are only filled with some players like "Second Dog Guild Leader", "Bai Ying" and "Sukhbaatar", who are either addicted to slacking off or obviously can't help at all.

One of the reasons Xiaobai was in a hurry to come back was that she was afraid that Er Gou, the guild leader who stayed in the courtyard, would take revenge on her own and molest the innocent ship girls that Duan Shuiliu had sent over.

Xiao Bai called out to the inside of the courtyard house as he pushed it open.

"I'm back! Is the president here? Um, Duan-neechan said she brought her naval base's ship—wait, wait ...

Xiao Bai stood at the gate, not even having finished speaking.

The scene in the courtyard startled him so much that he changed his style and the painting instantly transformed into an abstract masterpiece.

In the courtyard of what should have been a peaceful and harmonious place, all that could be seen was...

The place was now a complete mess.

Xiao Bai stood at the gate and looked into the courtyard.

At a glance, the entire courtyard was filled with ship girls lying haphazardly. These ship girls must have been sent over by Duan Shuiliu. They were either lying or crawling on the ground, exuding an aura of exhaustion as if they had been thoroughly tormented.

As these ship girls wriggled on the ground like caterpillars, a series of "uh...uh...ah...ah" sounds, like zombies from a zombie movie that Xiaobai had seen, entered Xiaobai's ears.

—This scene!

—This is a bit challenging for a newbie's sanity level!

Um? ?

What happened?

what's going on?

Xiao Bai cupped her face in her hands, staring in shock at the courtyard house that was almost shrouded in an aura of decay.

"Uh, this, this is..."

"President Sister? What, what did you do to these ship girls...?" Xiaobai murmured absentmindedly, then took a step into the courtyard.

Snapped.

A sound.

The moment Xiaobai stepped into the yard, a pair of hands swiftly reached out from beside Xiaobai's feet and grabbed Xiaobai's ankles with a snap.

"Eek!!"

Xiao Bai was so frightened that he almost turned around and kicked him.

Fortunately, amidst a flurry of falling leaves, Xiaobai discovered that the person lying next to him and grabbing his ankle was none other than President Er Gou, which allowed him to stop his foot from kicking the ball at the last moment.

“Little…Bai…” President Er Gou was no longer as energetic as before. She held Xiao Bai’s ankle, her face looking as if her spirit had been squeezed dry in a juicer.

"Eh? President Sister?! What are you doing here?" Xiaobai quickly squatted down and helped President Ergou up from the ground. "President Sister, um, where are Bai Ying, Lord Su, and Lianlian? Where are they?"

"Uh..." Guild Master Er Gou fell into Xiao Bai's arms with a thud. "They're all... on the ground... look for them..."

"Huh?!" Xiaobai looked completely bewildered. "Wait... President Sister, what's going on? Did Lianlian invent an out-of-control device that can turn people into useless trash?"
