Elder brother's garrison

In front of Xiaobai.

Luo Lian and President Er Gou began a heated discussion.

"……"noob.

Eh?

Wait a minute.

Forget about the president.

Isn't Lianlian also a self-taught admiral?

How come they become so knowledgeable about ships...?

what happened.

This atmosphere is one where only I feel inadequate.

Xiaobai felt the pressure.

Even if it's the end of the world, I'll still play Azur Lane.

A big name in the industry is releasing a new book.

It's a super typing machine.

Large quantity, filling (thumb)

written request for leave

It’s my birthday today.

So I'm planning to take a day off to let loose (referring to binge eating).

No matter how tough life gets, we can't forget cake and candles.

Because people live in this world.

Sometimes you just need a little ritual (looking up at the sky).

As expected of me.

Oh, right.

There have been a lot of announcements in the gaming industry lately, including Death Stranding, Cyberpunk 2010, and Breath of the Wild 2, which is currently in development.

So happy.

Chapter 1202 But what does that have to do with me being a wrecked ship already?

Although Luo Lian and Er Gou, the president, don't seem like proper admirals, they are at least reliable graduates of admiral university.

In order to cultivate outstanding admiral candidates, the Admiral University advocates all-round development in morality, intelligence and physical fitness. Therefore, even knowledge about the predecessor of ship girls, namely human historical warships, has been made into a regular course for teaching and assessment.

Xiaobai isn't too sure about Er Gou's grades in college, but at least as for Luo Lian, she would have no problem maintaining the top spot in the entire school. Even if Er Gou isn't as amazing as Luo Ritian, she still graduated from a proper university, so she wouldn't be too bad.

For this reason, both of them have some personal expertise and unique perspectives on the history of warships.

Xiao Bai stared at Luo Lian and President Er Gou, who were engaged in a heated debate.

Listening to Chairman Er Gou say, "The Yamato is the ultimate battleship, and its cannons are the romance of naval warfare. When others see the Yamato, the first thing they do is turn around to reduce their surface area to be hit, right? That's what makes it special."

And Luo Lian's sharp retort, "The Iowa's high mobility as a top-tier battleship gives it a significant advantage in tactical and strategic deployments. War is not just about the strength of a single ship; a good ship is one that can bring victory."

Seeing that President Er Gou and Luo Lian were arguing more and more enthusiastically, Xiao Bai remained silent.

--what to do.

What are they saying?

Even a novice could understand their words if you picked them out individually.

But once those words are put together...

Xiaobai said that he couldn't understand what they were saying at all.

I feel a little ashamed to admit it.

Although Xiaobai's brother served as an admiral for ten years, Xiaobai, as a family member, only had an average level of understanding of ships. Even after recently becoming an admiral and memorizing a few books, Xiaobai only managed to raise her understanding of ships to the level of a ship encyclopedia database.

Correct.

The ancients were right.

The database itself cannot draw conclusions.

If someone were to ask Xiaobai whether the Yamato or the Iowa has a larger full-load displacement, or whether the Yamato's main gun caliber is larger than the Iowa's, Xiaobai could indeed answer that. But if someone were to suddenly ask Xiaobai now which of the two, the Yamato and the Iowa, is stronger, that would definitely be a difficult question for Xiaobai.

For example, right now, in the debate between Luo Lian and President Er Gou, Xiao Bai can only stand aside and watch the two of them perform wildly, unable to get a word in edgewise.

—I have a feeling that I just accidentally pressed some strange buttons on these two people.

Just as Xiaobai was frantically trying to calm Luo Lian and Guild Leader Er Gou down, wondering how to get them both to calm down...

Iowa gently tugged at Xiaobai's sleeve.

Xiaobai turned her head.

Iowa looked at Xiaobai with a faint smile and pointed behind her.

"Admiral, let's go there."

"Uh..." Xiao Bai glanced back at Luo Lian and President Er Gou's heated debate, thought for a moment, and nodded to Io Hua.

Anyway, I can't really get a word in edgewise right now, and staying here would just make me look like a telephone pole.

After gently waving to Bai Ying and Ming Shi, who were munching on sweet potatoes, Xiao Bai and Yi Ahua left Luo Lian and President Er Gou's side.

"Iohua? Where are you taking me?" After walking a few steps toward the other end of the courtyard, Xiaobai asked Iohua beside her.

"Admiral, didn't you just say you were going to take me to see someone?" Iowa asked with a smile.

"Oh, Yamato-neechan, you're right, you're right. Staying there is indeed a bit of a hassle... Let's go to Yamato-neechan's place first." Shiro nodded quickly and led Iowa towards her room. Halfway there, Shiro suddenly seemed to remember something, and her expression turned slightly awkward as she looked at Iowa. "Uh... but, that Iowa..."

"Ok?"

"I'm so sorry... You must have felt really awkward just now..."

"...What do you mean by 'awkward'?"

"Because I set a bad precedent, you ended up being used by Lianlian and the president to compare with others and all that." Xiaobai scratched his head.

"This matter..." Iowa shook her head, a rather interested smile appearing on her face. "Hmm... isn't it interesting to hear what other people think of you?"

"Oh haha."

"In fact, I'm quite happy," Iowa murmured, her slender fingers tapping her snow-white, pointed chin. "I never expected that even I could receive such high praise—wow, the best American battleship and all that... I thought that Missouri girl had stolen all the limelight from the Iowa-class."

"...Speaking of which, Missouri and Wisconsin are also located in my naval base."

"That's wonderful," Iowa replied with a smile to Xiaobai's words.

Xiao Bai looked at Iowa with some curiosity.

—To be honest, I had a strange feeling from the very beginning.

Iowa... she really doesn't seem like a rookie ship girl who just stepped out of the ship's equipment; she's far too mature.

"And what about you, Admiral?"

Just as Xiaobai was thinking, Iowa's voice reached Xiaobai's ears.

Xiao Bai looked up and saw Iowa looking at her with a slightly expectant gaze.

"um, I?"

"Admiral, do you think Iowa is an excellent battleship?"

"Of course... After all, you're such a famous and powerful ship girl..." Xiaobai said what was on her mind.

"Thank you, Admiral." Iowa smiled happily.

"...Uh, Iowa, you don't mind?"

"What do you mind?"

"Which battleship do you think was more powerful in history, the USS Iowa or the Yamato?" Xiaobai asked the Iowa.

Iowa closed his eyes, his head swaying gently from side to side with each step.

"Hmm...it doesn't matter." Iowa replied after a while.

"What do you mean by 'it doesn't matter'?" Xiaobai was taken aback.

"It doesn't matter" means exactly what it says. Iowa opened her eyes, covered her mouth and chuckled. "It doesn't matter who is stronger between me and her."

"Hey... Iowa, you don't seem to care about this at all?"

"If I had to say whether I care or not, I do care... but..." Iowa pondered.

"only?"

"..." Iowa glanced at Xiaobai, narrowed her eyes at Xiaobai, and a slight smile appeared on her lips, "Admiral, you're going to run into a door."

"Huh? Eh?!" Xiaobai stared blankly ahead for a moment before realizing that while she was chatting with Iowa, she had already walked back to her room and was only a small step away from bumping into it.

Xiao Bai immediately stopped in his tracks.

"Admiral, please let me see the person who has taken such good care of me," Iowa said to Little White.

"Hmm..." Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to push open her bedroom door.

Push the door open.

The curtains in the room were drawn tightly, preventing sunlight from shining in and making the whole room appear dark.

Xiao Bai walked into the room and looked towards her bed.

Without saying a word, Yamato Fukami was wrapped in Shiro's blankets and lying face down on the bed. The thick blankets had rolled her upper body into a large spring roll, leaving only her long, shapely legs in jeans and a round, perky bottom exposed.

Although I cannot see with my eyes.

However, Shiro seemed to sense an unusually strong aura of slacker from the spring roll that was the incarnation of Deep Sea Yamato.

"Uh? Yamato-neechan?" Shiro exclaimed instinctively.

How come a perfectly good deep-sea dean suddenly turned into a lazy bum?

I heard Xiaobai's voice.

The legs of the limp Yamato in the spring roll trembled instantly.

It seems that Yamato is still conscious.

Xiao Bai walked to the edge of the bed and stared at the giant spring roll on the bed with curiosity.

"Yamato-neechan, what's wrong...?"

"Don't worry about me... I'm a total wreck without Little Horn..."

Amidst the spring rolls, the groans of Yamato Shinkai, muffled by the thick quilt, could be heard.

"...Yamato-neechan, we'll get your beast horn back to you tonight..." Shiro sighed, sat down next to Deepsea Yamato, reached out and pulled at the top of the spring roll, revealing Deepsea Yamato's head. "That's something very important to you, Yamato-neechan, right? Don't worry, no one will steal it."

"...Really?" Yamato looked at Shiro with a pitiful expression.

"Really, really." Looking at Yamato's teary-eyed appearance, Shiro couldn't help but smile and nod.

—Why does it feel like after the horns on its head were cut off, Yamato's mental age has regressed to that of a toddler?

"Hey, Yamato-neechan, speaking of which, have you been staying in this room the whole time without coming out?"

"He hasn't come out."

"Didn't you hear a loud noise in the middle?"

"I heard it. It sounded like there were several explosions, and there were a lot of footsteps in the yard. I could also faintly hear some kind of pitiful howling."

"...This...you didn't even come out to check?"

"What does this have to do with me? I'm just a wrecked ship anyway..." Yamato muttered.

"Okay..." Xiaobai nodded awkwardly.

Compared to the ship girls who are free from debt, Xiaobai suddenly felt that the Dean of the Deep Sea was living a rather tiring life.

An elderly Deepsea Dean like Deepsea Yamato possesses top-grade Deepsea Dean metal, a top-grade 460 All Beings Equality Cannon, and a priceless 500-year-old crystal beast horn on his head. It can be said that once a Deepsea Dean has lived a long time, his entire body is a treasure.
