Elder brother's garrison

Lexington stopped massaging Chairman Er Gou's shoulders and silently leaned down, bringing her mouth close to Chairman Er Gou's ear.

"...Although I had a lot to say when I first met Ms. Noka, after thinking it over, I think I should say this first."

Lexington smiled and whispered.

"Miss Naige."

"I am very grateful for taking care of Xiaobai for so long and indulging her whims without considering the consequences."

"You have worked hard."

Lexington said gently.

I heard it's an anniversary sale!

Unwanted small gifts after drawing the lucky bag can be given to authors who need them!

Like me!

Whether you add sausage, an egg, or both to your instant noodles tomorrow is up to you, dear readers!

written request for leave

I wrote a chapter today and looked at it, then suddenly realized it wasn't good. The little white rabbit wasn't cute enough, so I angrily tore up the manuscript.

A novel doesn't have to be bad.

But if the writing by Xiaobai isn't cute, I'd rather not update today.

I'm not writing anymore. I need to find some similar works to recharge and take a break, change my mindset, and start writing again tomorrow.

The author of Hedgehog Cat's backend is closed!

Bilibili is launching!

I'm watching "The Demon Girl Next Door"!

Today's anime featuring hunky men is still as exciting as ever.

Chapter 1385 Standing Side by Side

A strand of hair that had fallen from Lexington's temple gently touched the earlobe of the Second Dog Association, fluttering back and forth like a light willow catkin amidst their barely audible breathing.

President Er Gou and Lexington, who was leaning down and whispering, remained in that position, and then suddenly fell silent for a moment.

After a while.

"...Huh?" President Er Gou blinked, turned around, and gave Lexington a look of surprise and confusion. "Wait... Lexington..."

"What can I do for you, Miss Naige?"

"You... you called me here just to tell me this?"

"Otherwise what?" Lexington straightened up, looking down at Chairman Er Gou with a smile.

"Not to secretly poison or assassinate me, use hypnosis to warn me, or give me five million to leave your admiral or something like that?"

"Pfft." Lexington laughed, then covered her mouth and shook her head. "Miss Naige, your imagination is truly fascinating."

"..."

Looking at Lexington, who was covering her mouth and chuckling, Chairman Er Gou was now a little confused.

For some reason, President Er Gou felt a sense of powerlessness, as if she had punched cotton. She turned her head, stared at the teacup on the table, and fell silent for a long time.

"—Poisoning or hypnotizing you, or even paying you to leave—of course, it would be a lie to say I haven't thought about it." Lexington gently patted Chairman Er Gou's shoulder. "But those thoughts are actually like the occasional fantasy a human has of being a magician, growing wings, walking down the street, and being transported to another world. They're just trivial thoughts that you know are impossible, very complicated, and even unrelated to your own stance."

"...Your little thoughts are terrifying..."

"After all, I'm just a kid in my teens. It's normal for me to have a lot of thoughts in my head." Lexington walked to the table, picked up the teapot that Reputation had placed on the table, and poured a cup of tea for Guild Master Er Gou, who had left an empty teacup.

President Er Gou looked at Lexington, who was pouring him tea, with a look of utter dismay on his face.

Lexington was indeed, as she said, only a little over ten years old, and if you counted that, she wasn't even as old as Xiaobai.

But what Lexington said was a method humans use to calculate their age, and Lexington is a ship girl.

Ship girls don't have a so-called growth period. Their worldview, outlook on life, and values ​​are already initially formed the moment they step out of the construction device. In other words, although Lexington's physical age is only a teenager according to human calculations, her mental age is no different from that of an adult.

Using human age calculation methods to measure ship girls is a kind of cheating.

"Miss Naige, please have some tea." Lexington smiled and gently pushed the teacup, which had been filled with tea, towards Chairman Er Gou. "It's not poisoned, please rest assured."

"...This kind of poisoning joke is not funny at all." President Er Gou sighed, muttered, picked up her teacup, and took two sips.

"Miss Naige, you really trust me." Lexington looked at Chairman Er Gou and smiled.

"I don't trust you at all."

"What is that about trusting?"

"This is the garrison headquarters." Chairman Er Gou put down his teacup.

"I see." Lexington returned to behind President Er Gou and gently rubbed his shoulder. "So that's why you played with Xiao Bai for so long without actually running away."

"...Don't tell me you were just peeking into the office from the doorway."

"Oh, no, I was just processing the paperwork for the new girls at the naval base."

"So, are your eyes located in the office?"

"You don't need to use your eyes for this level of simple reasoning. After all, if you really want to leave, how can Xiaobai stop you?"

"But you have no idea what I did in the office."

"Isn't it normal for a healthy cat to lick a fish if you put it next to it?"

"..." President Er Gou pouted, "Okay, okay, I'm a thief of love."

Lexington smiled helplessly.

"So what's next?" President Er Gou asked.

"Ok?"

"Didn't you just say that you'd say this first? After you say 'thank you for your hard work,' what are you going to say next?" President Er Gou asked.

"Ah...that's true." Lexington paused in her hand, which was rubbing the chairman's shoulder. "Miss Naigo, ever since Shiro brought all your naval base ship girls back here last time, your naval base should be almost empty, right?"

"It's practically defunct now, leaving only Helena and me as the lone commanders."

"The naval base's salary is directly proportional to the number of ship girls. I guess Noga-san's life isn't very comfortable right now?"

"It's alright. Anyway, Xiaobai left the guild in Chapter Two to me, so life there hasn't changed much except that I feel a bit more relaxed—by the way, why did you ask that?"

“After all, this is what I wanted to talk about next.” Lexington nodded with a smile, thought for a moment, and then said, “Miss Naka, would you… perhaps consider staying at our naval base permanently?”

"I'll think about it—huh?" President Er Gou answered habitually, then suddenly froze. She turned her head and looked at Lexington with a strange expression. "Wait, Lexington, what did you just say?"

“Our base is going to undergo another expansion, after all. If we ask the construction team for a little help, we could temporarily change our minds and build you a small villa,” Lexington said with a smile. “Besides, Miss Naiko, weren’t all your ship girls adopted by our base? Those ship girls probably miss you sometimes, and with you here, they—”

"No, no, no!" President Er Gou quickly raised his hand to interrupt Lexington. "This is very strange!"

"Hmm? May I ask what's strange about it?"

"This doesn't sound like something you'd say to me!" Guild Master Er Gou looked at Lexington. "Even if you're not planning to poison me, hypnotize me, give me money, or leave, you can't possibly be this welcoming, can you? And you're asking me to stay in the newbie naval base. This is really weird!"

"..." Lexington silently observed the wary expression on Chairman Er Gou's face, as if asking, "What are you planning, woman?" After a while, she shook her head helplessly, "Is that so..."

After a while, Lexington gently patted his chest and asked Chairman Er Gou.

"Miss Naige, do you hate me?"

"...Actually...it's alright."

“That’s also my opinion of you, Miss Naige,” Lexington said with a smile, bending down. “Perhaps our past positions prevent us from reconciling—but to use an old saying, that’s all in the past. Now, it’s Xiaobai who’s in contact with us.”

"..."

"As I told you before, because I need to be stationed on the coast for a long time, I have to keep my carrier-based aircraft patrolling the sea, plus I have to help process some documents for the naval base. So I can't leave the naval base for long periods of time. The last time I left the naval base to accompany Xiaobai on a sea expedition was actually the absolute limit." Lexington smiled helplessly at Chairman Er Gou.

"...Uh, so you mean..."

"Xiaobai has gradually grown from a girl who was too shy to even see anyone into an admiral who can get along with ship girls and handle admiral missions with ease. Even her relationship with us has gradually shifted from us guiding her to her guiding us," Lexington said. "Perhaps in the field of admiralship, she has a completely different direction from her brother, yet possesses equally outstanding talent. However…"

Lexington's expression turned somewhat helpless as he spoke.

"Xiaobai is still a child after all. Although she is already very capable, the life of an admiral is indeed boring and tedious. She still needs the company of people who can share secrets with her."

As Lexington spoke, his tone gradually became lighter.

"So, I think you, Miss Naige, are a very suitable person to stand shoulder to shoulder with her. As long as you are there, Xiaobai should be fine, right?"

Lexington inquired.

He then extended his hand to President Er Gou, making a gesture of requesting a handshake.

President Er Gou stared blankly at Lexington's outstretched hand for a long time. After thinking for a while, she finally turned around and slowly extended her own hand.

"You mean you want me to stay at the naval base and stay by Shiro's side?"

"Yes."

Will Xiaobai agree?

"She would probably be very happy to accept it."

"Oh……"

President Er Gou gently touched Lexington's hand and shook it with hers.

Seeing that the handshake was successful, Lexington pursed his lips and smiled at Chairman Er Gou.

"Then welcome, Miss Naika—"

"Honestly, it's a good suggestion." President Er Gou smiled at Lexington, then gripped her hand tightly, her expression suddenly turning serious. "But! I refuse!"

"Huh?" Now it was Lexington's turn to be taken aback. "Why?"

"What you just said was quite interesting... but you have to think about it, I have a mission. I still have the task of looking after the second chapter guild for Xiaobai." Guild Master Er Gou stood up from his chair, patting his chest with his other hand as he said, "In the end, what you just said was basically saying that I'm too busy with work to play with Xiaobai, so you're going to take my place and play with Xiaobai, right? I don't want to be your substitute!"

President Er Gou patted his chest.

So don't!

"Absolutely not!"

"I refuse to be by Xiaobai's side as you, Lexington!" President Er Gou pointed at Lexington's nose with a whoosh. "I am who I am, the most brilliant firework in the sky! No matter what, I can never be you. I am Xiaobai's favorite president sister, Mu Er Gou!"

Chapter 1386 World's Number One

President Er Gou's voice slowly spread throughout the office.

Renown stood with his head down in the corner of the admiral's office, motionless like a silent statue.

In the small office, the echoes of Chairman Er Gou's loud replies seemed to linger in the brief aftertaste.

Lexington stared wide-eyed at the tip of the Second Dog's finger pointing at his nose, and remained stunned for a long while.

"Now you understand, right?" Chairman Er Gou withdrew his finger from Lexington. "I won't be living in your naval base."

"..." Lexington blinked. As the guild leader Er Gou withdrew his finger, she took a deep breath, then nodded as if in a daze, revealing a wistful smile, "So... that's how it is."

Lexington lowered his head and smiled apologetically at Chairman Er Gou.

"I have benefited greatly from this conversation... I was presumptuous."

"Humph."

President Er Gou withdrew his hand from Lexington's.

Lexington lowered his hands.

“However, although she can’t stay at the Naval Base permanently, it’s true that Shiro is willing to spend time with you,” Lexington said. “Then at least, to make Shiro happy, would Miss Noga be willing to stay at the Naval Base for a few days to rest in your own way?”

"Hmm...that's an option." After thinking for a while, President Er Gou nodded and smiled. "Then let's stay a few more days."

“That’s good…” Lexington extended his hand to President Er Gou again, “Although I said some offensive things to you just now, I’m very sorry. But I did express my willingness to become good friends with you, Ms. Noga. I wonder if you, Ms. Noga, would…”

"Oh, that? Of course!" Before Lexington could finish speaking, President Er Gou quickly grabbed Lexington's hand again and replied with a beaming smile, "Hehe, who wouldn't want to be friends with a beautiful woman? Lexington, then we'd better get along well from now on."

As President Er Gou spoke.

He seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally rubbing Lexington's palm, feeling the soft touch of Lexington's hand.

"..." Lexington's smiling expression remained unwavering. "Now that we've finished discussing the important matters, let's move on to some follow-up topics."

"Huh?" President Er Gou paused in his rubbing of Lexington's hand. "What's next?"
