It was several hours later when Lexington came to invite Xiaobai to the welcome party.
Xiao Bai put down the book in her hand and let out a soft sigh of relief.
Beside her was a tall stack of books.
While reading her brother's notes, Xiaobai realized that her academic knowledge was so weak that it affected her reading ability. So she asked Lexington to find her a lot of introductory books.
She is now sitting upright at the table, studying those introductory books.
Deep Sea Atlas
Ship Girl Encyclopedia and Training
Shipboard Equipment Cultivation Technology
These three books are what Xiaobai is currently reading.
It is a highly valuable book that is used as a textbook in many naval academies.
Especially the book "Kantai Collection and Training" on Xiaobai's left, Xiaobai saw many familiar faces in it.
"The aircraft carrier USS Lexington is one of the most promising ship girls among aircraft carriers. She has strong combat power and coordination ability, a gentle personality, and is extremely rare. She has appeared 21 times in history, and there are currently three in existence. She serves under the Pacific Governor's Office, the North Sea Naval Base, and an anonymous admiral."
……
The aircraft carrier USS Saratoga is one of the most nurtureable ship girls among aircraft carrier-type ship girls. She possesses strong coordination and offensive capabilities and is one of the best-performing ship girls in historical records. She is naturally carefree and extremely rare, having appeared seven times in history. Only one remains, serving under an anonymous admiral.
……
The Bismarck is one of the most promising battleship girls to develop. She has strong independent combat and defensive capabilities, a proud personality, and is extremely rare. She has appeared 37 times in history, with 8 existing. She serves in the Atlantic Governor's Office, the South Coast Naval Base, and under the command of an anonymous admiral.
……
The battleship Tirpitz is one of the most promising battleship girls to develop. She possesses strong group leadership and defensive capabilities, but is lazy and has an extremely high rarity. She has appeared once or twice in history, and there are currently two of her. She serves in the New Orleans Naval Base and is under the command of an anonymous admiral.
……
HMS Hood is one of the most promising battlecruiser ship girls. She has strong group leadership abilities, a gentle personality, a special status, and high rarity. She has appeared 55 times in history, with 11 existing. Most of them served as symbolic ships in the English government, a few served in large naval bases, and one served under an anonymous admiral.
......"
Xiaobai had seen most of the ship girls who were considered to have potential in the data of this naval base.
...An anonymous admiral?
Xiao Bai's expression became complicated.
They must be talking about the older brother.
"Little White." At that moment, Lexington's gentle voice came over.
Xiao Bai then realized that Lexington had been standing next to her for a long time.
"Ah, hello." Xiaobai covered the lower half of her face with her book, a little embarrassed. "I didn't notice."
"Okay. It's alright." Lexington nodded with a smile. "Although I'm happy to see how enthusiastic Xiaobai is about to start learning, the welcome party is about to begin."
"Ahhh, I'm going right now." Xiaobai quickly tidied up the books on the table and stood up.
"Let's go," Lexington said, leading Little White out of the admiral's office.
In the corridor, Xiaobai gazed at the naval base square through the window.
It was already evening, and the moonlight cast a faint glow on the ground, as if coated with a layer of wax.
Lexington.
"what happened?"
"Is my brother's naval base the best in the world?"
“…In the naval bases I know, that’s the case. Far superior to other naval bases,” Lexington replied. “Did someone tell you that?”
"Yes, my brother's friend... the person who brought me here told me."
“…Oh.” Lexington looked up and thought for a moment, then muttered to herself, “Friends…”
"what happened?"
“Your brother has very few friends,” Lexington said. “He seems to be too lucky; everyone he knows has cut ties with him.”
"Um... just how good is it?"
“Both Jaja and I were summoned by your brother using ordinary fragments given out by the school,” Lexington said. “It seems that apart from your brother, the ship girls summoned by others are relatively weak destroyers, not to mention that most people simply failed to summon them at all.”
After reading a little about the relevant information, the novice understood it somewhat.
The summoning ceremony for the ship girls takes place in the fragments of the deep sea.
It's a ritual that involves adding large amounts of precious metals to deep-sea fragments and then performing a summoning ceremony. This ceremony summons the heroic spirits of ships, which are then assembled into human form from the fragments. However, the success rate is very low, and it's difficult to create powerful ship girls.
Since the main material is fragments from the deep sea, which are very rare, they cannot be summoned casually.
—That's why ship girls are a valuable fighting force.
It seems my brother really is incredibly lucky.
Xiaobai recalled the contents of the ship girl encyclopedia and couldn't help but think of this.
"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly asking this?" Lexington turned and asked.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to confirm," Xiaobai replied, sounding somewhat guilty.
Suddenly being assigned the world's number one naval base felt like a dream to Xiaobai.
The two people walked out of the office building.
As soon as Xiaobai stepped out of the building, she noticed that several round tables covered with white tablecloths had been set up near the entrance, and they were filled with all kinds of food and fruit.
Not far away stood two long flagpoles, with a wide yellow flag stretched between them. The words "Welcome, Admiral" were written in large blue watercolor pens on the flag.
The font is a little childish.
Burning candles were stuck in the ground, illuminating the dim room like lamplight.
Dozens of ship girls chatted in small groups in the square, their clear, chattering voices sounding like they were in kindergarten.
"Ah, Admiral!" Not far away, a little girl with long blue hair spotted Xiaobai immediately. She skipped over and happily circled around Xiaobai.
"It really is the Admiral! Admiral! I'm Fubuki!" The little girl smiled innocently and grabbed Shiro's arm.
At this moment, the ship girls, who had been attracted by the ship girl named Fubuki, also turned their attention to her.
"Ah! Admiral!"
"commander!"
"It's the new admiral!"
"Admiral! Admiral!"
"0v0!"
"Admiral! Admiral! Admiral!"
In an instant, the ship girls swarmed over.
Like a swarm of bees, they surrounded Little White.
What's it like to be surrounded by people?
Xiao Bai once saw a popular celebrity spotted at an airport while watching TV.
On television, even as celebrities are surrounded by frenzied fans and unable to move, they maintain an elegant smile. They politely respond to the fans' expectations while inching their way towards the exit.
—It's really not easy.
At least a novice can't do it.
When overwhelmed by the wave of ship girls, Shiro's brain immediately went blank.
People. People, people.
They are all people.
In that brief moment, Xiaobai felt several hands touch her face and chest, tightly gripping her arms, and wrapping around her skirt to hug her thighs.
...and a few others scratched Little White's butt hard a few times.
—This is just being a scoundrel.
If it weren't for the fact that everyone surrounding Xiaobai was a ship girl, she would have immediately shouted something as rude as "molestation!" or "Help!"
Chapter 15 Tirpitz Remodel
In the end, it was Lexington who helped Xiaobai out of the predicament.
Seemingly realizing that Xiaobai was having difficulty dealing with the onslaught of the ship girls, Lexington coughed softly from the side.
She clapped her hands.
The crowd immediately fell silent.
"Our new admiral is still a child, so please be a little restrained," Lexington said with a smile. "Anyway, while talking to the admiral is important, we can chat with each of you individually after dinner."
The sound wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears.
"good----"
The ship girls responded obediently, like elementary school students listening to their teacher. After a brief farewell that sounded like a buzzing noise to Xiaobai, they quickly returned to their original positions.
The only difference was that those bright, colorful eyes kept drifting intentionally or unintentionally over Xiaobai's body.
"As expected, female admirals are so cute..."
"The new admiral is so silly, I feel like teasing him a bit..."
"Will Admiral Xiaobai give us another wedding ring?"
"0v0!"
"Ah, speaking of which, Aoba, why don't you go sing for the Admiral!"
"Huh? Why do I have to go?!"
"Don't you have a really pretty dress? The one you usually keep hidden in your closet!"
"No! It's so embarrassing to wear this out! Ah, Quincy, don't get so close to me! I'm talking to someone!"
"0v0?"
……
It seems... the topic of conversation has changed?
Xiao Bai patted his chest, still shaken.
Speaking of which, Lexington's prestige is really high... Little White glanced at Lexington, who was smiling and watching him from the side.
"You're really popular," Lexington joked, a rare occurrence for her, smiling warmly.
Upon hearing this, Xiaobai's face immediately turned red.
Ship girls have heightened senses, allowing them to perceive things that ordinary humans cannot. Lexington previously mentioned that Shiro has a scent similar to her older brother, so even ship girls who rarely hear about Shiro can easily develop feelings for her.
—It felt a little embarrassing to see something like food being thrown onto a plate and left for the ship girls to suck on.
"Owner."
At this moment, Renown, dressed in a black and white maid outfit, led another maid over.
The blonde maid with heterochromatic eyes was quite eye-catching at the banquet.
Just now, when Xiaobai was surrounded by the crowd, she noticed that Shengwang and the little maid were standing quietly not far away.
After walking up to Xiaobai, Shengwang bowed slightly to Xiaobai, then reached out and helped Xiaobai straighten her clothes, which were a little messy from the previous commotion.
声望的体质应该是很冰凉的，似乎是照顾到侍奉的时候不让主人感受到刺激，带上了手套，那种冰凉凉的感觉就从手套薄薄的丝绸里透了过来。虽然曾经被这双手揍过，但是小白不得不承认，其实被声望摸到皮肤是一个挺舒服的事。
Without Xiaobai feeling any force, Shengwang quickly tidied up Xiaobai's upper body.
...As expected of a maid, her skill level is not the same as when Bismarck straightened Shiro's collar at the naval base gate.
Renown is a ship girl who takes care of the admiral's daily life and possesses all the skills that a maid should have.
For example, tidying clothes, serving tea and water, doing laundry and cooking, going into battle to fire cannons, shooting flying knives, stopping time (just kidding), warming the bed, etc.
Noticing Xiaobai's gaze, Shengwang, who was at work, gave Xiaobai a very polite smile.
