Elder brother's garrison

Page 1135

After memorizing the entire city's layout, Iowa consulted several reputable travel websites and listed the best-rated shops in the city. After careful selection and time planning, she devised a perfect date itinerary that would last all day, from morning till night.

In Iowa's planned date itinerary, she cleverly placed the destination of her date—the clothing store—at the very end of her schedule, close to sunset.

Iowa did this because she wanted to create some free time and space for herself and the admiral to spend time together, and to provide a small, exciting yet safe space for their interactions.

This time is when both parties have reached their peak physical fatigue and mental satisfaction after a full day of sightseeing. The success rate of a raid launched at this time is the highest. One of the advantages of choosing the afternoon is that afterward, it is perfectly logical to choose to go home or book a room on the roadside.

Iowa's plan was flawless.

But there was one thing that ultimately surprised Iowa during this trip.

That's where New Jersey is.

Iowa never expected that upon arriving in Ella's city, he would encounter his last sister, the last of the Iowa-class, in this human city.

Moreover, this younger sister's life was indeed quite miserable.

Out of consideration for the younger sister's pride, Iowa did not acknowledge her on the first day they met.

But no matter what, New Jersey is an Iowa-class ship girl. It's simply impossible for Iowa to abandon this lonely and miserable New Jersey in the city and ignore her.

So ultimately, it's up to Xiaobai to salvage this ship in New Jersey.

So, here's the question.

Although there are still several days of free time before the admirals' ship girl squads arrive, no matter how relaxed or lazy Xiaobai is, as the world's number one admiral, she can only spare one day to play with the ship girls this time.

Iowa's initial plan did not take into account the appearance of New Jersey. If the rescue of New Jersey is included this time, her plan to spend time alone with Xiaobai will be greatly disrupted and affected.

After much deliberation, Iowa decided to settle for second best and choose Plan B: to bring this unfortunate little sister home while still securing his conquest of the admiral. He spent the entire night meticulously revising his schedule.

After a night of meticulous deduction, Iowa perfectly integrated the event of taking New Jersey on a date with the Admiral into her schedule. In the end, she also cleverly used New Jersey's appearance to leave an unforgettable mark on her date with Shiro, further increasing her chances of success.

And then.

On the second day.

As the sun rises from the sea.

The "war" in Iowa has begun.

As dawn broke, Iowa sneaked into Xiaobai's room, woke her up according to her plan, and after a quick wash, began her strategy.

Iowa and Xiaobai left Ella's house and went to the pedestrian street to find New Jersey, who was setting up a stall. At that time, New Jersey was unexpectedly being harassed by a group of thugs. Of course, this kind of minor incident was within Iowa's expectations. In short, in order to finish the next plan in time, Iowa chose a slightly more subtle approach to scare away the thugs. Then, he and Xiaobai easily took New Jersey away. After a short incident, New Jersey joined the dating group.

After New Jersey joined the team, Iowa's dating plans proceeded smoothly under her careful planning.

Iowa's dating itinerary, though driven by her own agenda, was indeed exceptionally well-planned, far superior to any typical day tour.

For Xiaobai and New Jersey, today may have been a fulfilling and enjoyable leisure time, but for Iowa himself, it was a day of meticulous work that was quite mentally and physically demanding, but the sweat was ultimately rewarding.

Right at the end of the date.

Taking advantage of the atmosphere of her day-long date with Xiaobai, Iowa sent New Jersey and the store clerk away, unleashing her feminine charm and vulnerability all at once, and suppressing her inner rage, she swiftly and fiercely attacked Xiaobai!

This is an A!

It's the final, killer move after a whole day of dating.

This is what Iowa has learned throughout his life!

It is also the culmination of Iowa's life's work (actually, it was only a little over a month)!

If Xiaobai had even the slightest bit of goodwill towards Iowa in her heart, even the slightest bit, under this environment where it had been brewing to its peak, she would absolutely, absolutely have no way, no space to refuse her invitation to kiss!

This is Iowa's victory horn!

The ultimate winning strategy of an extremely wicked woman!

--but.

Iowa's soft heart became the only flaw in this trip.

That is, Iowa himself overturned his perfect Plan A and made concessions, adding the unpredictable variable of reclaiming New Jersey to his Plan B.

A date for three is naturally much more difficult than a date for two.

Iowa could have temporarily abandoned her New Jersey affairs, allowing herself and Little White to enjoy a safe and romantic day together, before finally making it to base and securing her own victory.

But if Iowa does that, Xiaobai's one-day rest time will be completely taken up by her. By the time Xiaobai has time to go to New Jersey again, it will be after this event ends, and she will have to endure at least another week of hardship in the city.

However, it only lasted for a week.

New Jersey, after all, has the physique of a ship girl. She could endure this level of hardship for a month, let alone a week.

That's all.

But who can just stand by and watch their own sister suffer?

—It was this moment of weakness that left a flaw in Iowa's plan.

And then.

Sure enough, New Jersey appeared at the most crucial moment for Iowa.

……

Inside the clothing store.

"Sister Iowa?" New Jersey opened her eyes, looking at Iowa with a complicated expression. "What's wrong?"

"..." Iowa's gaze was as turbulent as she stared at New Jersey before her. The blush on her cheeks from her interaction with Little White hadn't faded yet, and her usually calm breathing trembled slightly. "New Jersey...you..."

“This dress has so many buttons… I can’t wear it.” New Jersey tugged at her long dress and looked at Iowa innocently. “I called you for a long time in the dressing room, and when I came out, I found that you weren’t here.”

At this point, New Jersey's peaceful and quiet gaze shifted from Iowa to Little White, who was lying on the ground with a face so red it could fry an egg.

"...Admiral, were you and your sister just now?" New Jersey tilted his head.

"Uh...uh, um...um..." Upon hearing New Jersey's words, Xiaobai quickly sat up, blushing with embarrassment as she explained to New Jersey, "We were just..."

"...The Admiral was just helping me choose the right underwear." Iowa sighed, subtly fastening the buttons on her chest, then helplessly shrugged and explained to New Jersey, "Nothing strange was done."

"Eh?"

Xiao Bai was taken aback and looked at Iowa with some surprise.

Iowa gave Xiaobai a look that said, "This is our secret."

"Let's go, New Jersey. I'll continue changing your clothes." Iowa sighed, gently placing his palm on New Jersey's head, and then vigorously rubbing New Jersey's head back and forth like he was angrily rubbing a dog's head.

New Jersey is like a roly-poly toy, being vigorously rubbed and swayed in place by Iowa.

"...Sister, it hurts."

"Pain is good for your health."

"...Did I just disturb you...?"

"Just you?"

"..."

Iowa, still pushing the somewhat unsightly New Jersey car, swayed and staggered into the nearby changing room.

Sitting in his seat, Xiaobai watched the two figures disappear into the distance and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

—The developments between him and Iowa just now are really scaring Xiaobai to death.

Not long after Iowa and New Jersey left, the cashier who had gone to the counter to pay returned to Xiaobai's side with several other employees carrying small packages.

"Esteemed customer, your clothes have been packed. Due to the large quantity... would you like us to ship them?" The shop assistant respectfully returned Yi Ahua's credit card to Xiaobai and smiled at her.

"Uh... let's not worry about mailing it for now... it's okay, we can take it with us." Xiaobai smiled at the shop assistant.

"Okay." The shop assistant smiled and nodded without saying anything.

Sitting in his seat, Xiaobai watched as Iowa, who had finally calmed down and was changing clothes for New Jersey, breathed a sigh of relief with a subtle feeling.

Just now.

The shop assistant then carried a wooden tray containing a glass of chilled juice to Xiaobai's side and bowed respectfully.

"Please enjoy, customer."

"Huh?" Xiaobai looked at the iced juice in front of her with some surprise and asked the clerk, "This is..."

"It might be a bit warm inside our store, so this is for you to cool down," the shop assistant said with a smile to Xiaobai. "It's complimentary chilled lemonade; we hope you like it."

"High temperature?"

Xiao Bai stared blankly at the chilled juice in front of him, then glanced at the shop assistant.

Winter is almost here.

Where else can you find a place with high temperatures...?

The shop assistant looked at Xiaobai with a friendly smile, as if the customer was God.

Xiaobai and the shop assistant stared at each other for a moment before Xiaobai suddenly realized something. She raised her hand and, as if she had realized something, subconsciously touched her face.

really.

At this moment, Xiaobai's face.

It was burning hot.

It looks like a block of iron that has been intensely heated.

It's too hot.

Chapter 1457 Wisconsin's Rage

Xiaobai wasn't sure how much the shop assistant knew about what had just happened between her and Iowa, but in any case, she had noticed that Iowa had teased her into a steampunk mode.

"...Thank you..." Xiaobai awkwardly accepted the lemonade with both hands and thanked the shop assistant.

The shop assistant stood up and, instead of staying by Xiaobai's side as before, quietly retreated to a counter far, far away, leaving Xiaobai ample space to herself.

How thoughtful!

If only she could have been a little more tactful.

Xiaobai gulped down a few mouthfuls of lemonade. The thought of the "I understand, I understand" smile on the shop assistant's face only intensified the blush on her face.

After finishing the sweet and refreshing lemonade, Xiaobai took a few breaths and slowly began to calm down.

Little White looked up and gazed in the direction of Iowa and New Jersey.

Iowa was holding a lace bra that she had already taken off, and she was walking towards them with New Jersey, who was carrying several clothes that she had tried on.

For some reason, Xiaobai's gaze was drawn to the lace lingerie in Iowa's hand as if by a magnet.

The underwear in Iowa's hand was a two-piece set, with exquisite openwork patterns running across it. The top piece showed obvious signs of having been worn and taken off.

Xiao Bai stared at the underwear in Iowa's hand for a while, and sure enough, it was exactly the same as the one she had seen in her room in Missouri last time.

It seems Missouri really did tell Iowa about the style of the lingerie she saw last time.

"Admiral, we've finished our selection." Iowa and New Jersey walked back to Xiaobai's side one after the other, and smiled at Xiaobai.

Iowa's meticulous plan has fallen apart at the most critical moment.

For an ordinary person, this might be a devastating blow, but Iowa is Iowa after all. Her indomitable spirit is just one of her many passive attributes. At this moment, Iowa is smiling sweetly at Little White, seemingly not taking what just happened to heart at all.

"Uh... this batch is much smaller than the last one." Xiaobai held the empty glass, glancing at the few pieces of clothing in New Jersey's arms. "Um... aren't you going to buy some more?"

“Well, it would be nice to keep buying, but it’s already quite late,” Iowa said with a smile to Xiaobai. “Besides, there’s one more important point.”

"what?"

"I probably won't have enough money left on my credit card to buy many more items," Iowa said to Xiaobai with a slightly embarrassed smile.

"Ah...it's alright, I can give it to you too..."

“That won’t do.” Iowa bent down and pouted. “Didn’t I just tell you, Admiral? At least for this date, you can only spend your money on me.”

"Uh..." Xiaobai smiled awkwardly, "Okay... alright."

As soon as the cashier saw Iowa and New Jersey return to Xiaobai's side, she walked over at just the right moment to ask if they wanted to continue with the checkout.

After paying for the last few pieces of clothing in New Jersey's arms, Xiaobai was finally able to take out her salary card and pay for the set of underwear in Iowa's hands.

After paying.

The saleswoman finished settling the bill for Ioa's lingerie set, then packed it up. As if conveying some kind of mission, she solemnly handed the package to Xiaobai with a look that said, "Although there are many difficulties, I wish you happiness."

It is clear.
