Elder brother's garrison

"That's wonderful, Admiral!" Iowa stopped and turned to Little White, saying excitedly, "Did you hear that!"

"Huh? What?" Xiaobai looked up. "What's wrong?"

"Admiral, I just asked New Jersey if she would like to come to our naval base, and she agreed!" Iowa took two steps toward New Jersey, opened her arms and hugged her, then happily exclaimed to Little White, "Now, Missouri and Wisconsin at home won't feel lonely anymore."

"...Huh?" Xiaobai stared blankly at Iowa, who was hugging New Jersey. Somewhat unexpectedly, she shifted her gaze to New Jersey's face. "Just now?"

While Xiaobai was racking his brains trying to figure out how to safely salvage the ship, before he could even come up with a starting point, Iowa had already brought New Jersey home with just a few words.

Xiao Bai suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, as if he had punched cotton.

New Jersey's speed in turning to us...

That was even faster than France surrendering.

At this moment, Xiaobai even had a strange feeling that the two ship girls in front of him might be joking with him.

“Yes.” Iowa nodded, noticing the strange look on Xiaobai’s face. A glint of shrewdness flashed in her eyes. She tightened her grip on New Jersey’s arm and cautiously asked, “Um… doesn’t the Admiral like it?”

"Huh? No, no... that's definitely not it." Xiaobai quickly shook her head and waved her hands. She scratched her head, her gaze towards New Jersey a little blank. "Uh... I do welcome you guys from New Jersey... uh... but... New Jersey, coming to our naval base doesn't just mean being a guest, it means becoming a ship girl of our naval base. From now on, we'll all live together, eat, rest, sleep, and even go to war together... New Jersey, are you serious?"

“Seriously…?” New Jersey, whose neck was tightly embraced by Iowa, squeezed Iowa’s arm. “I’m not joking.”

"Uh... but this is too fast..."

“I don’t know anyone here, I can’t find a job, I can’t earn any money, the people around me are always mean to me, I’m hungry every day, and I can only sleep under the overpass.” New Jersey said to Xiaobai, “Now that someone who helped me is willing to take me in, I think it couldn’t be better?”

Speaking of it.

New Jersey gently patted Iowa's arm, which was wrapped around him.

"Anyway, they're your ship girls, right?" New Jersey asked.

"Uh... if you're asking about the other three Iowa-class ship girls, then yes, that's true."

"Hello, Admiral. I am New Jersey. Nice to meet you." New Jersey said to Xiaobai.

“…Hello.” Xiaobai replied to New Jersey subconsciously, savoring what New Jersey had just said, and smiled helplessly.

makes sense.

The situation in New Jersey was unlike any other ship girl Xiaobai had ever encountered in the city. She was the first ship girl Xiaobai had ever met who appeared in the city as a "refugee".

The word "refugee" might not be the best way to describe the situation in New Jersey.

To put it another way...

Life is short, and I have neither money nor friends.

Although Xiaobai wasn't entirely sure, it's estimated that before Xiaobai appeared, life in New Jersey in this city must have been quite miserable. Not only did he have to endure the pain of the deep-sea atmosphere churning inside his body every day, but his quality of life was also quite low.

In the end, it was Xiaobai who helped her open her little stall. She treated the ship girls to a meal. The next day, Iowa and Xiaobai kindly carried her back to the hotel after she fainted at the stall. They wrote tally marks (crossed out) to clear the deep-sea aura from her body. Finally, the sisters were moved to recognize each other.

Although New Jersey never showed it on her face, in reality, Little White and Iowa were like angels descending upon her, bringing light into her difficult life on the ship.

Since she's a ship girl anyway, she'll have to rely on a naval base sooner or later. So why not rely on a naval base that has both her older and younger sisters and a kind and lovely admiral?

That's why New Jersey simply and directly agreed to Iowa's proposal.

“Since the Admiral has no objections, then New Jersey, from now on we’re not only sisters, but also comrades. Please take good care of me.” Iowa hugged New Jersey’s neck and nuzzled her cheek affectionately.

“…Sister Iowa, you’re too close, it’s making me uncomfortable…” New Jersey gently pushed Iowa’s shoulder.

“We’re sisters, so there’s nothing wrong with being a little closer, right?” Iowa completely ignored New Jersey’s resistance and clung tightly to her like she was hugging a favorite life-size doll.

—From a purely observational standpoint, Xiaobai had a subtle feeling that Iowa seemed to have a particular fondness for her new little sister, New Jersey.

The touching sisterly reunion is over, and it's time for Iowa and Little White's date, except for the addition of a third wheel named New Jersey.

"Hey, Iowa." Xiaobai waved to Iowa.

"What's wrong, Admiral?" Iowa asked Xiaobai.

"Well... here's what I was thinking." Xiaobai smiled at Iowa, "Iowa, you asked me to keep your promise today, but it wasn't just because you wanted to go out with me. You wanted to use this shopping trip as an opportunity to get me to come out and help you look for New Jersey, right?"

"Is that what the Admiral thinks?" Iowa looked at Xiaobai with a smile, but did not deny it.

"Honestly... If it were just about me finding New Jersey, I would have gone out with you even if you didn't keep your promise." Xiaobai said helplessly to Iowa. "How about this, now that we've found New Jersey, let's take New Jersey back to Ella's house. As for my promise to go shopping with you... it doesn't count this time. You can ask me next time."

"Admiral, is this alright?" Iowa looked at Xiaobai with some surprise.

"Of course!" Xiaobai nodded. "After all, if there are any changes in our personnel, it will disrupt your carefully planned shopping trip, right?"

"Thank you, Admiral!" Iowa's face lit up with a joyful smile.

"Then let's..."

“But… actually, you don’t need to.” Iowa interrupted Xiaobai and smiled at her.

"Huh? You don't need to?"

“Even if you bring your New Jersey sister along, it won’t be a problem.” Iowa said with a smile, and took out a neatly written letter from her clothes and handed it to Shiro. “Admiral, look.”

"Uh? Iowa, what's this?"

"schedule."

"...The schedule..."

Xiao Bai accepted the schedule without hesitation, then lowered his head and carefully looked at the letter.

On the snow-white letter paper, Iahua's delicate handwriting was neat and tidy.

A Day with the Admiral:

5:30-5:45 Flirting with the Admiral in the pedestrian street.

5:45-6:00 Found New Jersey

6:00-6:15 Let the Admiral treat this silly little sister.

6:15-6:30 Find a way to get New Jersey added to the Admiral's naval base.

......"

Xiaobai, keep looking down.

The entire letter was filled with time schedules accurate to the minute.

Iowa's schedule filled Xiaobai and Iowa's entire day with details, specifying which street in the city they would walk to, which restaurant they would visit, what dishes they would order, when they would finish eating, and what time they would go for a walk or visit tourist attractions.

Iowa's schedule is meticulously planned, from casual strolls on the street to meals at hotels and even shopping sprees at malls. Every detail is meticulously planned and time is allocated to the limit. It is incredibly detailed.

And, most importantly,

Iowa's schedule was originally intended for three people.

That's right.

The schedule from the beginning was a three-person arrangement such as "having dinner with the Admiral and New Jersey, watching a movie with the Admiral and New Jersey, and going to the amusement park with the Admiral and New Jersey".

Xiao Bai put down Iowa's schedule in a daze, looking at Iowa in surprise.

Iowa smiled smugly at Xiaobai.

"Don't worry, Admiral, I'm not the kind of stupid woman who only knows how to give." Iohua said to Little White, sticking out her pink little tongue, "Actually, I'm quite greedy, Admiral, you'd better be prepared to be exhausted by me today."

"……"noob.

have to say.

Iowa is really amazing.

But since Iowa himself has said so, Xiaobai can only comply.

After agreeing to become Shiro's ship girl, New Jersey is now full of energy because her illness has been cured, and she doesn't care what she does next.

Xiao Bai and Iowa led New Jersey on a day trip according to the itinerary, visiting most of the famous tourist attractions, most of the famous buildings, watching two movies, and going to several upscale restaurants. They explored most of the bustling city in a limited amount of time.

Finally, just as the sun began to wobble and slip into the sea, and the sunlight on the street began to dim rapidly, Iowa finally let go of Little White, whose ankles were aching from exhaustion, and dragged the wooden-like New Jersey to a clothing store on the street.

"Admiral, does this one look good?"

Iowa walked into the clothing store, but surprisingly, she didn't rush to choose her favorite clothes. Instead, she pulled New Jersey to the full-length mirror, held up each piece of clothing to her chest, and looked at New Jersey in the mirror with satisfaction. Then she turned to Xiaobai, who was resting to the side, and asked him a question.

The Iowa family all have their own distinct yet unique and fashionable styles of clothing. Even a layman like me can't really tell the difference, but I can still vaguely see the charm of a model in a fashion magazine.

In short.

This means that you should just praise someone regardless of the consequences.

"nice!"

Xiao Bai nodded emphatically and gave Iowa a thumbs up.

Chapter 1454 I'm excited too!

New Jersey was treated like a beloved life-size dress-up doll by Iowa, standing blankly in front of the full-length mirror. Iowa would grab each piece of high-end clothing and stick it to New Jersey's chest. When Iowa found a piece that she liked, she would urge New Jersey to change into it so that Xiaobai and she could see it.

New Jersey was surprisingly obedient to Iowa. No matter what clothes Iowa asked her to change into, she would obediently go to the changing room to change.

"Admiral, do you think she looks good in this New Jersey outfit?"

"nice!"

"How about this one?"

"nice!"

"Hmm... what about the one on my left?"

"nice!"

"Admiral, this is the decisive underwear."

"..."

In short.

Ignoring the occasional Iowa-inspired quirky outfits that appeared in the middle, Xiaobai watched the entire large-scale fashion show featuring a New Jersey model, giving everyone a thumbs up.

New Jersey, after all, is an Iowa-class ship girl. Thanks to her sister, she also possesses top-tier looks and temperament even among ship girls, as well as a natural clothes hanger. She can pull off any style of trendy clothing. Therefore, New Jersey's solo "fashion show" is not much different from the dazzling fashion week shows seen on TV.

but……

Sitting in his seat, Xiaobai looked at the growing pile of clothes in front of him because he had given a thumbs up, and couldn't help but sweat a little.

Iowa picked out a lot of clothes for New Jersey...

That must have cost a lot of money...

Seeing that Iahua was pushing New Jersey, who was carrying a dress, into the dressing room, Xiaobai swallowed hard and waved to the female attendant waiting beside her.

"Hello, customer, is there anything I can help you with?" The waitress walked up to Xiaobai and said respectfully.

"Um, my friend seems to need to buy a lot of clothes, so please help me pack them up first," Xiaobai said to the saleswoman.

"Are you going to buy these?" the waitress asked Xiaobai to confirm.

"Mm." Xiaobai nodded.

The waitress's gaze towards Xiaobai brightened considerably.

"Please wait."

The waitress efficiently and skillfully arranged the clothes placed in front of Xiaobai, then carried the hangers to the cash register. After nearly ten minutes of clattering and knocking, she returned to Xiaobai with a long receipt and a card reader.

"Customer, here's the invoice." The waitress respectfully handed the invoice to Xiaobai. "Cash or card payment?"

"Uh... I'll swipe my card." Xiao Bai glanced at the four- or five-figure amount on the receipt, took out his wallet, picked out his salary card, and handed it to the waitress.

"Please use this."

But before Xiaobai could hand his salary card to the waitress, a crisp sound rang out behind him, and a slender hand holding a white credit card pressed the card into the waitress's palm before Xiaobai could do so.

"Huh?" Xiaobai turned around and looked behind her, only to see Iowa smiling at her. "Iowa?"

"Customers? May I ask who you are...?" The waitress looked at the two credit cards in front of her with some confusion, momentarily bewildered.

"Use mine. Thank you." Iowa reached out and stopped Xiaobai from opening her mouth to respond, then smiled and said to the waitress.

The waitress then left with the card reader and Iowa's credit card.

"Admiral, you really are something. I wasn't watching you for a second and you started doing something sneaky." Iowa lowered the finger that was touching Xiaobai's lips and smiled.

“Iowa…didn’t we agree that I would pay?” Xiaobai said to Iowa, “How did it turn into you paying…”

“Admiral.” Iowa shook her head, curled her lips at Xiaobai, revealing a charming smile, and shook her slender fingers, “That’s not right.”
