Elder brother's garrison

The Will of the Deep Sea put down its fork, and a smile involuntarily crept onto its usually flat lips.

"……Um."

"Really delicious."

Living alone is indeed a bit too lonely.

Let's go down to the lower realm later and bring up a few deep-sea phoenixes to train as maids.

The will of the deep sea thought this way.

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.

When Xiaobai returned to the real world.

Sure enough, the deep-sea giant phoenixes had returned to normal. They looked at each other, staring at the little white phoenix lying on the water's surface, waiting for it to wake up.

After regaining consciousness, Xiaobai looked at the deep-sea giant phoenixes with a rather helpless expression.

After the Deep Sea Will explained the previous riotous behavior of these Deep Sea Taihou, Xiaobai understood that their actions were simply a result of these innocent children, who were naive and inexperienced, being petted like cats by Xiaobai for a long time, leading to incorrect ways of expressing their emotions.

Since that's the case, Little White, knowing full well that it was the one who started the snowball, didn't get angry at the Deep Sea Taihou. It just helplessly patted each of the Deep Sea Taihou on the head to say goodbye, carefully instructing them on how to get along normally between people, and that someone would pick them up after it left, before finally leaving the Mysterious Waters.

Saying goodbye to hundreds of deep-sea giant phoenixes by patting their heads was a rather long process, and Xiaobai wished he had three heads and six arms.

Finally, when the moon was high in the sky, Shiro finished giving his instructions to each of the deep-sea giants.

After leaving the mysterious sea, Xiaobai headed straight for his family's courtyard house.

The ship girls in the courtyard have been waiting for Xiaobai for a long time, guarding their rice bowls.

Xiaobai repeatedly apologized to his ship girl.

The ship girls held up their rice bowls and said there was no problem.

Xiaobai subtly implied that he might bring some more deep-sea amphibious ships back to the naval base.

The ship girls held up their rice bowls to show that they were used to it.

Xiao Bai subtly hinted once again that the number of Deepsea Abyssal Ships he brought back this time might be slightly more than he had imagined.

The ship girls held up their rice bowls, indicating that they would do whatever the admiral asked, but if they didn't eat soon, they would starve to death.

Xiao Bai's eyes were filled with tears.

What an understanding and kind group of ship girls they are.

Chapter 1228 The Underworld Reaches a Consensus

After the meal, once the ship girls had eaten and drunk their fill and were free to do as they pleased, Shiro found President Er Gou.

President Er Gou and Luo Lian came together.

In the past few days, Luo Lian has been helping Akashi design the ship equipment bracelet, and in doing so, she has obtained a lot of information about Sukhbaatar's ship equipment fragments from Akashi.

I heard that the information about these ship equipment fragments has provided a breakthrough in Luo Lian's recent research project. So for the past two days, Luo Lian has been in a state where she basically goes into Akashi's blacksmith shop to study endlessly whenever she has free time. As a result, the guild leader Er Gou, who originally wanted to take Luo Lian on an exciting and stimulating one-day trip to the sixth chapter, can only end up sitting bored at the entrance of Akashi's blacksmith shop to kill time.

"President Sister".

Xiao Bai trotted over to President Er Gou and greeted him.

President Er Gou was squatting on the ground drawing small circles with a toothpick in her mouth when she heard Xiao Bai's voice. She looked up and glanced in Xiao Bai's direction with her large sunglasses. "Hmm? Xiao Bai? What's up? If you're looking for Xiao Luo Lian, she's in the blacksmith shop right now."

"As for Lianlian, she's been quite busy these past few days, so I won't bother her."

Xiao Bai stood at the entrance of the blacksmith shop, tiptoed and peeked inside a few times, then smiled at Guild Master Er Gou who was squatting at the door, "Guild Master, I've come to see you this time."

President Er Gou was stunned.

"Little White Sister, have you finally realized that only same-sex love is true love?" The joy in President Er Gou's voice was hard to hide.

"……"noob.

Although Xiaobai didn't understand why his conversation with President Ergou had turned into such a strange implication, he still understood the principle of not taking President Ergou too seriously. Xiaobai shook his head and ignored President Ergou's harassing remarks.

"No, President Sister, I need your help with something..."

"Oh." President Er Gou's lively mood dropped again. "I see... What's up? Just so you know, if you want me to transfer my Helena to you, that won't do. She's all I have left now."

"...No, that's not it..."

Xiao Bai smiled awkwardly, then looked around. After confirming that there was no one around, Xiao Bai patted his bottom, sat down next to President Er Gou, and snuggled up to her.

"President, do you remember when we went to the sea to look for Yamato-neechan before...?"

President Er Gou is often surrounded by a simple and elegant fragrance, fresh and sweet, similar to the scent of various fruits.

"I remember." President Er Gou held up a finger and brushed a stray hair behind his ear. "Don't worry, you can't tell anyone else, right? I'll keep quiet about what happened there."

"Um... thank you, President Sister."

Xiao Bai nodded, then tugged at President Er Gou's arm, "And then there's this place. Actually, ever since that incident, regarding the things that happened in that sea area..."

Under Er Gou's curious gaze, Xiao Bai whispered to Er Gou and briefly told her that Deep Sea Yamato had subdued the remaining White Deep Sea Deans and taken them all into the Mysterious Sea.

"What the hell?"

After hearing Xiaobai's explanation, President Ergou was stunned. "Little Bai, are you saying that those Deep Sea Deans weren't actually sunk by you, but instead all hid in that mysterious sea area?"

"Yes, but don't worry, President Sister. Since Yamato Sister has become their leader, those Deep Sea Deans are very obedient now and won't attack people randomly like before."

Xiao Bai explained, "And... uh, well, anyway, for some reason, several hundred of those white Deep Sea Deans have received further upgrades..."

"...Wait, stop for a moment." Hearing this, Guild Master Er Gou seemed to have grasped something important, and looked at Xiao Bai with a wary expression. "Xiao Bai, do you have designs on those Deep Sea Deans?"

"Hmm!" Xiaobai's eyes lit up. It was indeed much easier to talk to smart people. "That's right, Sister Guild Master, can you help me send them to my garrison?"

"Hiss—" President Er Gou rubbed his chin, looking at Xiao Bai.

Although Xiaobai spoke with remarkable ease, to an ordinary admiral, the amount of information contained in her words was enough to shatter their worldview.

"Brilliant! Let's not beat around the bush, how do we proceed?"

President Er Gou slapped his thigh hard, looking quite interested.

Fortunately, President Er Gou is an admiral who is completely unlike anything "normal".

Faced with Xiaobai's audacious act of buying up entire groups of Deepsea Deans for her home, an ordinary admiral would be terrified. Even if someone with a stronger constitution wasn't scared out of their wits, they would probably rush to distance themselves and pretend they knew nothing. But Er Gou, who was used to stirring up trouble, was different from an ordinary admiral. Coincidentally, Er Gou was bored out of her mind recently. Not only did she not refuse Xiaobai's suggestion, but she also had a happy expression as if she had found some fun.

"President Sister, do you remember when I appeared in the second chapter's sea area before? Actually, it's like this, that mysterious sea area connects the second and sixth chapters. That time, I arrived at the second chapter through the existence of the mysterious sea area." President Er Gou's reaction was similar to what Xiao Bai had expected, and Xiao Bai was slightly relieved. Then, she explained to President Er Gou in a low voice, "There are too many high-ranking admirals and ship girls in the sixth chapter, and it's inconvenient to transport them back. So my plan is to have all the abyssal ships hide in the mysterious sea area. President Sister, you can go to the second chapter, disguise yourself as a ship girl, pick them up, and then send them to the newbie naval base normally."

"This plan is so simple and crude, it's reminiscent of your newbie naval bases." Guild Master Er Gou grinned. "High-ranking ship girls and admirals are indeed harder to fool than the rookie admirals in Chapter Two. Suddenly bringing out so many Abyssal Fleet ships—wait a minute, what about the Abyssal Fleet ships' Abyssal aura?"

"That's alright, I have a lot of bracelets with the aura of the ship's equipment here." Xiaobai took out a large handful of bracelets from her ship equipment space. "I only have forty or fifty in my ship equipment space for now... I can ask Akashi to make some more for you, President Sister."

"Oh ho, I get it." Guild Master Er Gou reached out and took the ship equipment bracelet from Xiao Bai with a clatter, putting it into his ship equipment space. "Anyway, let's go over the details first. I'll go pick them up from the mysterious sea, have them wear the bracelets, disguise them as ship girls, and then send them to your naval base?"

"Ok!"

"They won't hit me, will they?"

"No, I promise!" Xiaobai held up three fingers.

Xiaobai has already made arrangements for someone to pick up the Deep Sea Phoenixes. They will not harm President Er Gou. As for the remaining White Deep Sea Deans, there is even less concern. At this stage, Xiaobai is still quite distressed to have the Deep Sea Will working overtime. She does not plan to turn them all into Deep Sea Phoenixes. She can leave them in the Mysterious Sea as hollow dolls and strategic resources to accompany those two whales.

"That's settled then." President Er Gou hummed. "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

"Thank you, President Sister," Xiaobai nodded.

"We're like brothers, right?" President Er Gou gave an OK sign. "So, Xiao Bai, how do I get in?"

"Huh?" Xiaobai was taken aback.

"...What are you staring at?" Guild Master Er Gou asked, puzzled. "That mysterious sea area requires an entrance fee, right? You have to tell me how to get in."

“Uh…” Xiaobai lowered his head.

"..." President Er Gou.

"……"noob.

"...Little White Sister, why aren't you saying anything..."

“…Uh, I…”

"You wouldn't...haven't thought of that?"

"Um...I...I'm sorry..."

Xiao Bai nodded somewhat awkwardly.

It's actually a bit embarrassing to think about.

Because Xiaobai entered and exited the Mysterious Sea so easily, he subconsciously overlooked the fact that there was actually a threshold to the Mysterious Sea, and he didn't take this into account at all when making the plan.

Xiaobai deeply realized his immaturity as an admiral.

Even a simple and brutal plan has flaws.

Looking at Xiaobai, who was deep in thought with his head down.

Er Gou, the association president, was speechless.

"Well, in short, it seems that the condition for entering and leaving the sea area is the presence of the sea's aura. The only people around us with that aura right now are me, Iowa, and Wisconsin… Maybe we should let Iowa and the others…"

"Your Iowa-class ship girls are all idol stars, attracting attention wherever they go. If you send them to assist me, the Admiral Headquarters will probably know about your smuggling of Abyssal Fleet ships the next day."

"Uh..." Xiaobai nodded awkwardly, "Then... I'll go to the second chapter..."

"Little White, don't speak yet." Guild Master Er Gou sighed helplessly as she looked at Little White's embarrassed and awkward appearance. She raised her head and thought for a while before asking Little White, "In short, entering the sea requires the aura of you or your Iowa-class ship girl?"

"Hmm... it should be necessary to enter, but not to exit. That is, the deep-sea ships in the Mysterious Sea all have the aura of the Mysterious Sea."

"Alright then." President Er Gou stroked his chin, glancing at the other end of the yard.

At the other end of the yard, Wisconsin sat between Missouri and Iowa, looking quite smug amidst their smiles.

"—Although I haven't done this kind of thing in a long time..." President Er Gou turned his head and gave a wicked smile where Xiao Bai couldn't see, "But since it's to help Xiao Bai, don't panic, leave the rest to me."

"President, you have a solution?!"

"Of course." President Er Gou made a heart shape with his hands towards Xiao Bai.

at the same time.

Do not know why.

Wisconsin, situated between Iowa and Missouri, suddenly felt a strange sense of danger and shuddered.

Chapter 1229 I slept all day, I'm so tired.

After the temporary event in Chapter Six ended in victory for the newbie naval base, the newbie naval base had no reason to stay in this coastal city any longer and began to prepare to leave.

Because Missouri has gained an older sister, she can no longer serve Shiro in bed. She can only stay in the courtyard with Iowa and Missouri and the other ship girls in the newbie naval base to pass the time. She will probably go to her room in Wisconsin to sleep at night.

Xiao Bai temporarily gave up on the idea that Missouri would stay with her and went back to her room alone.

At least Xiaobai isn't alone now.

Even without Missouri, in Shiro's room, Akagi and Yamato were still sleeping soundly on the bed.

After returning to the room, Xiaobai went to the bedside and frowned as she carefully observed Shenhai Yamato for a while.

Even though Xiaobai is usually slow-witted, he finally caught a whiff of something strange at this moment.

Even if Shen Hai Yamato was exhausted and sleepy, even if she had another horn shaved off her head, she would still have been lying in bed sleeping like this for two whole days.

It's already difficult for an average person to sleep for a whole day, but for someone like Deep Sea Yamato to sleep for two whole days straight, looking like he's still sound asleep and not awake at all, is something that Xiaobai really envies... cough cough, that's strange.

Xiaobai returned to the spiritual world and briefly inquired about the Deep Sea Will's physical condition regarding Deep Sea Yamato.

After sensing Yamato's condition through Shiro's body, the Deep Sea Will simply stated that Yamato was currently in a state of being overfed, which was why it was in a deep sleep.

Xiaobai found it strange. She said that Shenhai Yamato had only eaten a little bit of fruit for two whole days, and it was Iowa who fed her when she was serving her. How could she have eaten too much?

Upon hearing this, the Will of the Deep Sea raised its finger and forcefully poked Little White's forehead a few times.

Deep Sea Will indicated that her so-called "overeating" referred to mental strength.

Last night, in order to get a good night's sleep without any problems, Xiaobai transferred a huge amount of spiritual energy to Shenhai Yamato. As a result, Shenhai Yamato has not been able to digest all the spiritual energy transferred by Xiaobai and can only absorb it through the helpless act of sleeping.

After saying all that, the Will of the Deep Sea poked Xiaobai's forehead several more times.

The Will of the Deep Sea says that if you really want to sleep, you should allocate your mental energy to Deep Sea Yamato until you feel a little sleepy. But yesterday you poured your mental energy directly into Deep Sea Yamato's body until you were completely unconscious!

Does your older sister's kiss feel that good?

Is it really that comfortable?
