It's time to give out the rings, Admiral!

"Not asleep...at least not yet...sigh..."

The silver-haired girl rubbed her eyes, her sleepy eye sockets making one worry that she might fall asleep standing up at any moment.

Looking at the girl's cute yet languid appearance, Baffler sighed deeply. They were all ship girls, so why were their personalities so different? She was like a vicious person, always so lazy and listless, looking very listless. It really made people worry that she would be just as listless when she went to sea to fight against the deep sea.

However, when it comes to fighting in the deep sea, Javelin, who often trains with Vicious, said that Vicious is very active during training and is not at all as lazy as she usually is. But just hearing what Javelin said, she still finds it hard to imagine what Vicious is like when she goes out to sea to fight.

Vicious, the second ship of the French Fantasy-class destroyers, is a five-star legendary ship girl, just like Miss Perseus and Sister Peter. She is a new sister who was just rescued from the sea by Miss Belfast and her group two days ago.

As mentioned before, since we've finally returned to the port, we no longer need to be so careful about how to use the resources we brought when we went out to find the admiral. So, since we've settled down back in the port, everyone has been going out to sea for training much more often. This has also directly led to a surge in the number of new sisters joining the port recently.

Take the sisters who joined in the last two days, for example. Not only are there Miss Javelin, Miss Perseus, and Sister Peter whom I just met, but there are also Miss Helena and Miss St. Louis whom I didn't have a chance to meet this morning. In total, there are already six new sisters who have joined in the last few days.

Speaking of the birth of Vicious, we have to mention a little anecdote. Sirius and the others who brought Vicious back from the sea said that when Vicious was born, they were busy fighting another deep-sea submarine fleet, so they didn't have time to notice if any new sisters were born.

It wasn't until their return journey that Miss Belfast suggested they go back the way they came to see what was happening. That's when they encountered the villain they had left on the sea, who was now looking around at the vast, boundless ocean in a daze.

Fortunately, the flagship at the time was the cautious and conscientious Miss Belfast. Otherwise, she would probably be just a free ship girl adrift like duckweed now, and wouldn't have so much energy to sleep all day like she does now!

Sigh... I have to mention this: lately, there are more and more ship girls with the same name in the port, but everyone seems to have gotten used to it and just goes about their business. Sigh, it's not surprising, considering that having hundreds of ship girls in our own port is already ridiculous enough. Compared to that, having a few more with the same name is a minor issue. I just hope there won't be another Bavrell.

"Hehe, being able to get a good night's sleep is a wonderful thing. At least it's much better than not being able to sleep at all."

Watching the wicked creature's drowsy little head begin to nod up, Yi Xian smiled gently. Although always sleeping in wasn't good, it was at least much better than before when she couldn't sleep at all, suffering from insomnia and restlessness.

The more she recalled the pain of that time, the more she cherished the present. Looking at the wickedness before her, even Yi Xian herself wanted to sleep soundly and comfortably in this place that could also be called home. Of course, it would be best if the person she longed for could understand her feelings and be willing to stay by her side and accompany her to sleep.

"Oh dear, this little devil looks so wicked, it makes me want to sleep."

"Sister Chongqing...sigh...then let the evil one sleep like this. If the evil one were to become the admiral's secretary ship, it would probably turn into a scene where the two of them are fast asleep in the admiral's office."

Just imagining the scene of the villain and the admiral snuggling together and fast asleep made Pavler rub her face with a headache. The thought of it made her heart tremble. Let me make it clear, she wasn't envious of the villain, really! She had no intention of taking a nap with the admiral, or falling asleep nestled in his arms! Yes! That's right! She simply wanted to correct the villain's unhealthy lifestyle!

"Speaking of which, Sister Yixian, what are you all doing here? Didn't Sister Missouri just take stock of the resources a couple of days ago? Why are you doing it again today?"

"Ah, you mean this? Of course, it's not an inventory. Missouri is preparing resources that we'll need later. You'll soon meet a new sister joining our port."

"Huh?... Ah! Could it be... my sister-in-law?"

"Hehe, you guessed right. I don't know what happened these past few days, but my wife has been gaining the experience points she needs for research very quickly. A few days ago, her progress was only halfway there, but now it's almost gone. When Missouri checked this morning, she had already gained enough experience points for her research. Now, as long as we prepare the necessary resources, we'll be able to meet our 'new' sister~"

"Really? That's great! My wife has been inside the machine for so long, and now she can finally come out and move around freely! Today is truly a happy day."

"Hmm, once my wife officially becomes a member of the port, we'll have to think about which sister to develop next... Hehe, then, Pavler, I'll leave it to you and Vicious to gather everyone in the port together. We'll all go welcome my wife in a bit, and then we can all go eat mochi together..."

Volume 1, Chapter 533: Time to Get Up!

"Hehe...Brother..."

With her brother gone from the bedroom, the girl, finally relieved, quickly dressed and sat on the edge of the bed. Her face flushed, she touched her soft lips, clicked her tongue slightly, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

She still clearly remembers the touch and smell of her brother that were imprinted in her mind last night. That feeling, that scent that belonged only to her brother and made her feel incredibly at ease, now seems to make every taste bud of hers jump for joy when she thinks about it.

Unfortunately, she was too flustered last night and didn't have time to savor the precious taste of her brother's essence. She hurriedly cleaned herself and her brother up, afraid that her brother would suddenly wake up, and quickly crawled into bed to pretend to be going to sleep.

The girl touched her belly under her nightgown. Beneath it, her smooth abdomen was slightly warm. Just thinking about her brother's energetic appearance last night and that irresistible scent made her body feel strange. She knew that she was no longer the obedient and well-behaved Xiao Rou she used to be. After what happened last night, she had probably fallen into the trap of becoming a bad girl.

Yes, just thinking about my brother makes my body hot, just thinking about his handsome smile makes my lower body itchy and constantly leaking sticky fluid. I only think about doing all sorts of naughty things with my brother and giving him a bunch of babies in the future. Isn't that what makes me a bad girl?

"It's all because of you, brother! It's all your fault that Xiaorou has become such a bad girl. It's not Xiaorou's fault at all. You have to take responsibility for her!"

The girl squinted her eyes, which were brimming with spring water, and looked at her own flushed face reflected in the mirror on the bedside table. Gazing at her shy and alluring reflection, she could hardly believe that the girl in the mirror was herself. She chuckled and touched her burning red cheek, finally unable to resist covering her lips. The girl then shrank into the blankets her brother had just covered her with and excitedly rolled around on the spot.

Although her brother knew nothing last night, for the girl's bumpy emotional journey, it was an unprecedented breakthrough! It was the first time she had ever been so happy to sleep with her brother, the first time she had ever played with her brother while he was asleep, the first time she had ever seen her brother's excited little monster, and even the first time she had ever made him vomit. In other words, it was like she had been bitten by her brother!

Now that she's tasted the sweetness of it all, she can never go back to being the naive and innocent Xiao Rou she once was. She's already planned to implement her final plan as soon as possible, to make her brother... hehehe...

After rolling around on the bed for a while, the girl, whose excitement was gradually fading, finally sat up again. She gradually calmed down and was no longer blinded by momentary excitement. Her expression became serious, and she pinched her smooth chin and began to think.

Although judging from his brother's attitude, he did not look down on himself because of his ship girls, his current situation is not much better.

Last night I was able to sleep with my brother, partly because Lexington kept her promise and gave us a chance to be alone, and partly because my brother hasn't been wary of me yet. But if I want to take things further, I can't guarantee that they won't stop me, or that my brother won't find out anything.

And then there's that blonde guy named Saratoga who calls her brother "brother-in-law." She's so awful! She said that back in Tsugawa, she could sleep with her brother all the time, and maybe they'd even done *that* kind of thing together. But me? I'm only just now finally getting to sleep with my brother. I'm so envious... Ugh, I hate it!

The girl slowly stood up, put on her slippers, and stood up. Even if she was worried, this was not something that could be solved in a short time. All she could do was to bring Zhuo Yuelin over so that she would have another ally who could share the same hatred as Kai. After thinking about it, she could only take it one step at a time. Before she set off for Jinchuan with her brother, this place was still her home ground, and she had to make good use of her home ground advantage.

"Brother, what would you like to eat for breakfast?"

Stretching, the girl walked out of her bedroom and passed by the room where she usually bathed. She heard her brother taking a bath in the family's large wooden tub, so she asked him a question.

"Anything is fine, but Xiaorou, don't rush to make it. Let Lexington and the others make it when they arrive. It's quite troublesome for you to make breakfast for so many people all by yourself."

Making breakfast for two people isn't much more complicated than making breakfast for ten people; it's just a matter of making a little more. But the young man's answer was actually a calculated attempt to give his wife and the others more opportunities to impress Xiao Rou.

He still believed that even if Xiao Rou wasn't used to it yet, once she knew how virtuous, gentle, and caring her sisters-in-law were, she would definitely come to like them very quickly.

Inside the room, the boy was pouring hot water over himself in a small basin. After being cooped up on the ship for more than ten days, the "fire" had inexplicably disappeared when he woke up. He had originally thought that he would have to wait until his wife was willing to lift the ban before he could be free. The boy now felt refreshed. However, outside the door, which the boy was unaware of, the girl heard her brother's words and clenched her fists tightly.

Hearing her brother's words, the girl felt a deep sense of defeat. In the past, making breakfast, lunch, and dinner for her brother was her sole responsibility. But now that her brother's ship girls had arrived, this job that made her happy every day and made her feel like she could help her brother had been taken away.

Although their cooking was indeed better than mine, and last night it seemed like it was their first time using the stove that required a fire, yet the food was still so delicious, but... but...

"No, it's okay, brother, I'll make it. I can also make breakfast for Sister Lexington and the others..."

Even if she was truly inferior to her brother's ship girls, the girl was unwilling to admit defeat. This wasn't out of spite; she simply didn't want to so easily relinquish the right to cook for her brother to his ship girls.

"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! Are you up yet? Let's go to Tianshui together!"

"No, no, don't be so loud, Sister Jiajia, the Admiral might not even be awake yet..."

"Gaga, if you wake the Admiral up before he's had enough sleep, Lexington will be angry with you, Desu."

Volume 1, Chapter 534: Preparations Before Departure

"Hehe, little Rou, these are all snacks we bought in Tianshui yesterday when we came back. Come and have some!"

"Sister Jiajia, you just finished breakfast and you're already eating so many snacks. No matter what, that's too much."

"What? Marani, you don't understand at all. It's because we've finished eating that we need snacks, dessert after a meal, you know?"

"Um... I, I don't need Saratoga... Hmm, sister, if you eat so many snacks after breakfast, you'll definitely gain weight. I'm not Wong Jing, who loves snacks so much."

"Hehe, that's right. Then have some yogurt. Little Rou, don't be so formal with us. We're all family now. Just call me Sister Jiajia, or just call me Jiajia!"

After breakfast, the morning sun was still shining brightly. On such a beautiful day, the girls of the Su family sat in the courtyard of the young man's house, chatting happily.

The girls, dressed in their finest attire, sat together chatting and laughing. Among them, their bare, snow-white thighs and arms were a truly pleasing sight to behold.

While Jiajia was eating the snacks she bought yesterday, her cute cheeks bulging, she didn't forget to hand Xiaorou a carton of yogurt.

The girls were in a great mood today. Although they had spent the night in a hotel in town, they hadn't stayed with their beloved Admiral. Surprisingly, they had all rested quite well. The Admiral said he would take them to Tianshui city today, and their excitement had continued from yesterday until now. Even Jiajia, who loves to sleep in as much as the Admiral, got up early.

However, these were not the main reasons that made them so happy. The most important thing was that after not seeing each other for a night, the Su family girls were surprised to find that Xiao Rou's attitude towards them seemed to have changed a little. Compared to her stiff smile and aloofness yesterday, they could clearly feel that Xiao Rou seemed more relaxed today, her smile was more friendly, and she seemed to welcome them, the lovely Su family girls, more.

"Little Rou, Little Rou, can you teach me how to make omelet rice? Little Rou, your omelet rice is so delicious! After I finished eating, I still felt a little hungry and wanted to eat some more! I really want to learn!"

"Mmm! Desu is delicious."

"Th-thank you, hehe, but compared to the food that Sister Lexington and the others made last night, I'm still far from good enough. If Marani wants to learn, I can teach you when I have time."

"Sister, that's an exception. Xiao Rou, you can't compare to them. If you want to add me, I'd say Xiao Rou's cooking skills are already comparable to Xiao Fei's. Especially the omelet rice that Xiao Rou made for dinner, it was so delicious! Hey? Where's Xiao Fei? Wasn't she just here?"

"As for Sister Xiaofei, I just saw her go out with Sister Birui. It seems they were going to town to buy some things they'd need for their trip later."

The young girls chatted happily in the yard, while the older girls inside the house helped their husbands take care of everything.

Lexington stood inside the house watching everything that was happening in the yard. She watched Jiajia and the others getting along happily with Xiaorou, and couldn't help but smile with relief.

Last night before going to bed, she was troubled all night. Her little sister, Xiaorou, was so wary of them, these "outsiders." How could she break down Xiaorou's defenses and help her successfully integrate into her family? She thought of many methods, but none of them worked very well. The best method she could think of was to use gentle persuasion, gradually making Xiaorou believe in her and lower her guard.

This was supposed to be a rather long process, something that couldn't be done in just a few days. But, unexpectedly, after just one night, when I saw Xiaorou again the next day, my dear gave me a surprise!

The problem that had been giving her a headache had actually been half resolved. Although it seemed that Xiao Rou wasn't quite ready to fully accept them yet, she was clearly at ease. At least she was no longer like a little hen afraid that we would take away her precious brother. She could communicate normally with us and even with Jiajia and the others.

Taking that first step is precisely the hardest part; once you do, everything else only gets easier. They say the one who tied the knot must untie it. My dear, even though you're so silly and clumsy, you can still come in handy at crucial moments, right? But it seems like you sacrificed a bit of your looks to get that, didn't you?

"Honey, how about wearing this today?"

Lexington withdrew her gaze from the courtyard, her gentle eyes brimming with love, and winked adorably at the boy beside her.

In front of her husband, she held up a brand-new T-shirt and held it up against him. She was wearing a light blue long skirt, and beneath the long hem, one could vaguely see her slender and shapely calves. Her excellent figure, paired with a snow-white chiffon blouse and high heels, made her bright and gentle face incredibly beautiful.

Today was a rare opportunity to go out with her husband, so she excitedly changed into this beautiful and comfortable dress, which she had prepared for a long time. Of course, as her dear and capable wife, even in her excitement, she didn't forget to take safety precautions; in addition to the long skirt, she wore thick safety shorts underneath.

She didn't want anyone other than her husband to see her beauty. She touched the boy's cheek and happily blinked her bright, watery eyes at him. But when her fingers moved down to the hickeys on her husband's neck that he had somehow gotten, she gave him a strange look.

"Well, it's just a trip, so it doesn't matter what I wear."

"Admiral, what do you think of this one? It would be perfect to pair with the shirt that Sister Lexington chose."

Guanghui's younger sister was helping her husband choose pants. Her beautiful face was adorned with a gentle smile. Today, she was dressed as beautifully and elegantly as ever. Underneath her beige cardigan, she wore a slightly girlish sweater, and her full, rounded thighs were covered with knee-length hot pants. On her shimmering feet were a pair of snow-white high-heeled open-toe sandals. She looked tall and sexy. This outfit was not only good-looking but also ensured that there was absolutely no risk of any wardrobe malfunction.

"Hmm, I think it looks good, hehe, then let's do it this way. Darling, go change your clothes and come out so that I and Guanghui can see you."

"It's just going out for a bit, Madam, is it really necessary to make such a big fuss?"

He had just finished breakfast when his wives dragged him out to try on clothes. As soon as they handed him the clothes, the young man made a pitiful face. He had been used as a clothes hanger by his wives since early morning, and in just a short time, he had changed several outfits.

At first, it was a suit and leather shoes, but the wife wasn't satisfied, saying that it wasn't necessary to be so formal when going out. Then it was a wool sweater and trousers, but Lasty said it was too hot. So far, they haven't been able to find anything that satisfies them. Judging from their expressions, they seem to be enjoying it, but this is making things difficult for the young man. He's been changing clothes back and forth, and he's almost exhausted before he's even had a chance to leave the house.

"Hmm~ What are you saying, darling? This is the first time you've taken us out together, how can we not be a little formal?"

Lexington couldn't help but pout. She had been looking forward to this day for a very long time. In order to prepare to go out with her darling, she got up early in the morning to choose clothes and even put on makeup, which she rarely wore.

Moreover, not to mention herself, even Radiant Sister and Hiei, and even a group of girls, are all putting in a lot of effort to dress themselves up. At a time like this, how can we let our beloved be the only one who is happy and at ease?

"That's right, Admiral. Lexington is right. Since we're going out, we should dress up nicely. So go and change. There shouldn't be any problems this time. Hehe, Unicorn and the others are still waiting for us."

"Hmm... I hesitate..."

Volume 1, Chapter 535: An Unexpected Surprise

“…Um…I’m pausing in my mouth…”

Once again urged by his wives, the young man spent the last half hour being used as a clothes hanger for them to try on clothes. He couldn't resist the fact that his two wives seemed to be getting along better and better. So, he could only sigh and take the clothes from his two wives with a bitter face, and then went into the bedroom next door to change.

Seeing their husbands' adorable appearance as they reluctantly entered the bedroom, shyly refusing to change clothes in front of them, the two wives behind them couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Bright sunlight streamed into the living room, casting golden dappled patterns that illuminated the entire space, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The room contained only a few somewhat worn pieces of furniture, and the spacious living room was now empty except for the two gentle and beautiful ladies, Lexington and Glorious.

A gentle breeze ruffled Glorious's silvery-white hair, making her, who had just turned away from gazing at her Admiral, tickle slightly. Glorious was in an exceptionally good mood today; in fact, not only herself, but all the sisters who had come with the Admiral were also very happy. She looked at the sisters in the courtyard who were talking with Little Rou, and then at Lexington, who was tidying up her clothes with a smile on her lips. She smiled gently.

"Sister Lexington, it seems that Xiaorou is in a much better mood today than yesterday."

Holding up the incredibly soft mound beneath her dress, Guanghui spoke softly. Yesterday, Xiaorou seemed reluctant to accept them, but this morning when she woke up, she was already able to communicate with her and Lexington quite naturally.

"It seems that having the Admiral and Little Rou have a private chat last night worked. As long as we can talk to Little Rou, the rest of the problems should be much simpler."

Going out with her beloved Admiral was certainly a joyful and exciting experience, but for a wife and flight attendant whose heart was entirely devoted to her Admiral, that alone wasn't enough to bring her such happiness. What truly made her happy and relieved for her Admiral was that when she saw Xiao Rou before breakfast, Xiao Rou seemed like a completely different person, taking the initiative to greet her and her group of Admiral's girls.

Even though she was still a little stiff and not quite used to being around them, it was enough to make her feel excited and happy. As the wife of the same admiral, she couldn't let Lexington worry about her little sister's affairs alone. She had been troubled for half a day last night, just like Lexington. Seeing this situation today, she was extremely happy.

"Well, we were just trying our luck, no matter what. You know how low my darling's emotional intelligence is, Radiant Sister. But we never expected him to give us such a big surprise."

Lexington's excitement goes without saying. If she hadn't promised Xiaorou that she would give her all the opportunities these days, she would have loved to drag Guanghui along to reward him with his favorite wife rice bowl again after not being intimate with her husband for more than ten days!

As mentioned earlier, she originally only hoped to lessen Xiaorou's hostility, but who knew that her darling would be so helpful. Not only did Xiaorou's hostility towards her lessen considerably, but she could also feel that Xiaorou was already trying to accept them. Even if it would take a long time for her to overcome the difficulties, the help she received was beyond measure.

Previously, she was only confident that time would gradually wear down Xiao Rou's defenses, but now she is fully confident that she can make Xiao Rou a part of everyone before returning to the port area.

Well, after all, it was my dear who sacrificed a bit of her charm to get this result. If that doesn't work, then it really won't make sense.

When we came from the hotel in town, my darling was still puzzled and told me that when he woke up he found several hickeys on his neck. He didn't know when he had gotten them and was scared, saying that he must have seen a ghost.

Oh, you silly girl! If you had just used your clever little brain a little and paid more attention to your little sister who has ulterior motives towards her brother, wouldn't the answer have come right away?

It's no wonder, though. He did those things to his beloved while he was asleep last night, but when he woke up this morning, he acted like nothing had happened, showing no signs of having done anything. If he hadn't sent a carrier-based aircraft to follow his beloved back yesterday, and hadn't landed it in the yard to protect him all night in case he was in danger, he probably would have been fooled by Xiao Rou, let alone his silly beloved.

"As long as Little Rou stops rejecting us, the Admiral will be very happy, and our outing today will be much more relaxing."

"Of course, that little rascal will be overjoyed. That means we've overcome the biggest hurdle. Now let's enjoy today's outing together, Glorious Sister."

Lexington nodded. She felt a real sense of relief, finally free of these burdens. Little Rou had been her biggest problem since arriving in Tianshui, but now that problem belonged to some silly little rascal. She wanted to see what kind of expression this confident scoundrel, who genuinely only saw Little Rou as a sister, would make when he heard about her feelings for him. Heh heh, he'd probably be quite surprised!

"Sister Lexington, we've bought everything!"

After Guanghui and Lexington finished talking, and just as they were stuffing the clothes they had packed back into the mountain of clothes in their suitcases, Phelps and Birui walked in from outside the living room door, carrying several plastic bags. They had just gone to the town's stores to do some shopping, and in addition to replenishing their daily necessities, they had also bought a lot of things that they might need when they went out with the Admiral.

"Sunscreen, snacks, water, tissues... well, I've bought everything we might need when we go out to play later. We also bought a lot of film for the camera, but there's no bank in town, so we'll probably have to go to Tianshui city to withdraw money..."
