Elder brother's garrison

Page 1376

If we were to ask which ship girls Veneto is closest to in the naval base, the answer would definitely be Rome and Empire. However, these two ship girls, Rome and Empire, were accidentally created during the first chapter of the expedition after Shiro became the admiral, which is less than a year ago.

Before Rome and the Empire, these Italian destroyers were the closest to Veneto. Their relationship with Veneto was so good that even when Veneto left the naval base to live in human society, she never forgot to take them with her.

However, after building Rome and the Empire, Veneto devoted almost all of her personal time to her two younger sisters, and Xiaobai has rarely seen Veneto playing with these Italian destroyers recently.

Xiao Bai had previously worried that Veneto might become too focused on Rome and the Empire, causing her relationship with these Italian destroyers to cool down. However, seeing the group of destroyers showing up with smiling faces, Xiao Bai felt that her worries were unnecessary.

Their relationship should still be as good as before.

Thinking of this, Xiaobai placed his palm on the head of the destroyer with long orange hair, a kind smile on his face.

"Hey! Admiral, you actually remember my name!" Camicia, realizing what was happening, was also pleasantly surprised as she held up Whitey's hand, looking flattered.

"Hmm? Of course I remember your name. Didn't you introduce me to you when we met before?" Xiaobai tilted her head.

"Well..." Camicia scratched her head sheepishly upon hearing this, and smiled at Xiaobai, "Because we usually stay in the naval base and rarely go on expeditions, we don't have many opportunities to meet you, Admiral. In addition, our names are complicated and hard to remember, so it's easy to forget them after a while... Many ship girl sisters couldn't remember our names when they first met us. Even when the previous Admiral was still in the naval base, he would greet us without calling us by name, but would just call me 'Little Angel'."

“Little angel…” Xiaobai glanced at Camicia’s outfit.

indeed.

Camicia, in particular, wore a long lace dress with two decorative wings on her back, and even her headdress was an angel halo of unknown meaning. At first glance, it was hard not to think of her as a little angel.

The Italian destroyers' attire was quite flamboyant, even by destroyer standards.

“My brother probably doesn’t forget your names… he probably just thinks it’s cute to call you Camicia this way.”

Seeing Camicia's expectant gaze, Xiaobai smiled gently and stroked her head twice.

"It's impossible for an admiral to forget a ship girl's name. I remember all your names very clearly. Your name is Camicia, Camicia Nera. Right?"

"really?"

The four Italian destroyers in front of him looked at Xiaobai with anticipation in their eyes.

"Well, really."

Xiao Bai nodded, then shifted his gaze to the red-haired girl next to Camicia, dressed as a little devil and whose physical development was completely unlike that of a destroyer. He smiled slightly at her and said, "For example, your name is Aviel."

"Your name is Antonio Danoli."

Xiao Bai's gaze drifted to the smallest of the black-haired destroyers.

"And, your name is Ugolini Vivaldi, right?"

Xiao Bai's gaze finally settled on the pink-haired destroyer at the very back.

"They...they actually remember everything!" The four destroyers stared blankly at the admiral, then raised their hands in surprise. "We haven't seen the admiral in so long, yet he remembers all our names!"

"It's alright..." Xiaobai scratched her cheek.

For a novice, remembering a name is as simple as eating and drinking.

Let alone a name like Camicianella, even if she told Xiaobai that her name was Dala Bengba Bande Bedibu Duobiruon, Xiaobai would remember it perfectly.

"The Admiral didn't call me Little Angel! He didn't call Aviel Little Devil, he didn't call Antonio Big Lolita, and he didn't call Ugolini Beijing Wind!" However, this ordinary thing for Xiaobai seemed to make the destroyers of Camicia very happy. They smiled with emotion and clapped with their destroyer companions.

"Uh... a big, big loli? Beijing style?"

"Yeah, these are all the nicknames the last admiral gave us!" The destroyers chattered like a flock of sparrows. "Antonio is the smallest among us, and we can understand her big loli name, but Ugolini's nickname is really strange. When we asked the previous admiral why he called her Beijing Wind, he always smiled mysteriously and fooled us."

"Uh... um... it's pretty good." Xiaobai's gaze swept over the destroyers one by one, and he gave an awkward smile.

Xiao Bai was quite impressed with her brother's ability to come up with nicknames.

You know, it's one thing for destroyers like Aviel and Camicchia, with their obvious designs, to have nicknames like "Little Devil" or "Little Angel," but how come the other two destroyers also have such strange nicknames... especially Ugolini's nickname, "Beijing Wind"... which is even more meaningless.

Little White was thinking to himself.

The four destroyers stared at Xiaobai's face for a while, then started jumping around in front of him.

"Admiral! Admiral! By the way, what brings you to Sister Veneto's house today?"

"Me? Well... I just came to sit for a while, nothing special. What about you guys?" Xiaobai asked the destroyers.

“We…hehe! Of course we’re here to play!” Camicia flashed a set of neat white teeth at Little White. “Because it’s our favorite big sister’s house, we come to play every few days!”

"Oh...so how do you guys usually play?"

"Ah, this..." Camicia hesitated for a moment, scratching his head and stammering, not answering Xiaobai's question immediately.

"We're just here to sit at Sister Veneto's house for a bit, to chat with the Imperial and Roman sisters here," Aviel spoke first to Xiaobai. "Because Sister Veneto has been busy taking care of the Imperial and Roman sisters lately, she rarely has time for herself. Sister Camicia is lonely not seeing Sister Veneto, so she comes every few days..."

"Aaaaaah!!" Before Aviel could finish speaking, Camicia screamed, her face flushed, and then transformed into an orange-white streak, appearing behind Aviel. She raised her hand, making a claw-like shape, and grabbed Aviel's ample bosom. "Aviel! Didn't we agree not to tell anyone else about this?!"

"Oh dear!! I'm so sorry!" Aviel gasped softly, quickly covering Camicia's small hand that was clutching her chest. "Sister Camicia, it...it feels strange, please don't..."

Camilla and Aviel immediately started making a ruckus in the corridor.

Xiao Bai looked at Camicia's rosy cheeks and couldn't help but smile.

"Oh, I see." Little White reached out to Camicchia. "Yes, I understand. It seems you really like Veneto, right?"

"Uh... um... um." Camicia stopped teasing Aviel and nodded somewhat shyly to the little white figure, but her attitude was still quite frank. She smiled at the little white figure and said, "After all, Sister Veneto often takes care of us..."

"Veneto and the others are inside. Hmm... it might be a bit presumptuous of me to say that, but welcome!" Xiaobai smiled at the destroyers. "It's dinner time, how about we have dinner together if you don't mind?"

"Really? Wow! That's great!" the destroyers responded excitedly.

For these destroyers who rarely go on expeditions and thus seldom see Xiaobai, today might be their lucky day. They can spend time with their favorite captain, Veneto, and also with their most respected admiral.

The little white thing made way for the destroyers.

The destroyers chattered as they entered Veneto's house, took off their shoes, and neatly placed them in front of the entrance. Then, with light steps, they caught up with Little White, like a group of fragrant little elves spreading the scent of flowers, and surrounded Little White.

"Admiral, Admiral, you haven't seen Sister Veneto in a long time, so you came to visit her?" The destroyers kept asking Little White.

"I guess so. After all, Veneto is my wedding ship..." Xiaobai said to the destroyers.

"Wow—" The destroyers blushed and looked at each other. "We won't be disturbing Admiral and Big Sister's time together, will we?"

“No, the more people, the more lively it is, right… Oh, right, speaking of which, Veneto is cooking in the kitchen right now. I’ll go in and tell Veneto you’ve arrived when I pass by the kitchen later. You guys go to the living room to find Rome and Empire first.” Xiaobai said, looking towards the kitchen in the hallway ahead.

however.

Right after Xiaobai said those words.

The destroyers, who had been following Xiaobai with great enthusiasm and excitement at the beginning, suddenly fell silent, even their footsteps stopped.

Chapter 1783 Witnessing the Miracle of Creation

"Huh?" Noticing that Xiaobai had suddenly stopped moving behind her, she stopped and turned around curiously. "Camichia? What's wrong with you guys?"

"Admiral... what... what did you just say?"

Behind Xiaobai, the Italian destroyers, who had been full of energy just seconds before, suddenly turned pale and huddled together, trembling as they looked at Xiaobai, their voices filled with fear.

"?" Xiaobai tilted his head.

Why did these destroyers suddenly become like little rabbits seeing a big bad wolf...?

"What I just said? Uh... did you mean to tell you to go to the living room and find Rome and the Empire first?" Xiaobai asked the destroyers.

"No, not that sentence, a little earlier!" Camicia swallowed hard and said nervously to Xiaobai.

"Should I tell Veneto you've arrived?" Xiaobai asked curiously.

"No, further ahead, a little further ahead!"

"...Is Veneto cooking in the kitchen?" Xiaobai asked.

"That's it!" Upon hearing Xiaobai's words, the destroyers visibly shuddered, their faces showing panic. Camilla clutched her clothes, nervously asking Xiaobai, "Admiral... is Sister Veneto cooking in the kitchen right now?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"I..." Camicia was about to speak, but then seemed to remember something terrifying, and she quickly shut her mouth, large beads of sweat rolling down her forehead. "No, it's nothing..."

"..." Xiaobai looked at Camicia strangely, "If there's nothing else, let's go wait in the living room together..."

"Ah! Right!" Before Xiaobai could finish speaking, Camicia suddenly shrieked, clapped her hands, and said to Xiaobai, "Admiral, I suddenly remembered that we have something to do today! It's really, really urgent, so I'm sorry we can't stay with you! Please say hello to Sister Veneto for us! We're going home now!"

"Huh? Going home? What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"It's very important...it's extremely important! It's urgent, it's a matter of life and death!" Camicchia quickly grabbed Aviel's hand. "Aviel, Antonio, Ugolini, don't you agree!"

"Yes, yes, yes, yes!" The other three destroyers nodded in unison.

“Oh... I see... But Veneto is just ahead, why don’t you go say hello to Veneto before you go? It will only take a few seconds.”

"We can't afford to waste a single second! I'm sorry, Admiral, we're leaving now!" When Camicia heard that Xiaobai wanted them to go find Veneto, she was so frightened that she couldn't even count her words. They quickly turned around, greeted Xiaobai, and ran towards Veneto's house as if they were fleeing a disaster.

Xiao Bai looked at the group of destroyers preparing to run out the door with a puzzled expression.

"Huh? Isn't this Camicia? You've arrived?" Just then, Veneto's authoritative voice suddenly came from behind Xiaobai.

Hear this voice.

The destroyers were struck dumb, frozen in place on the floor.

The destroyers turned around haltingly, only to see Veneto wiping her hands as she walked out of the galley not far away and looked in their direction.

"I was wondering why there was a commotion at the entrance earlier. Oh, it's you guys." Veneto put down her handkerchief, walked over to Xiaobai, and said to the destroyers whose backs were turned to her, "What's wrong? Why do you seem to be in such a hurry?"

"Big...Big Sister...Good evening..." Camicia stared at Veneto, almost choking, swallowing hard, and stammered, "I...we suddenly have something urgent...the really urgent kind..."

"What's wrong with you?" Veneto tilted his head, instantly seeing through his act. "The naval base doesn't assign you any work, and you just stay home eating, drinking, and having fun all the time. You don't even have to participate in training. What could possibly be wrong?"

"Uh……"

"If something's really wrong, tell me."

“This…” Camicia was sweating profusely.

"It's just a matter of going to which destroyer to play around with anyway." Veneto put one hand on her hip and sighed slightly. "It's lunchtime for everyone, so you shouldn't go visiting other people's houses. The admiral is visiting my house today, and I've cooked a meal, which will be ready soon. Since it's a rare opportunity, why don't you come in and eat with us?"

"Huh? This..." Camicia and the destroyers behind her turned pale upon hearing this. They hurriedly raised their hands and explained to Veneto, "No, wait, boss, listen to us, we ate before we came, and, and we really did have..."

"Hmm?" Veneto gave Camicchia a cold look.

"..." The destroyers lowered their heads and dared not speak.

“Since we’ve already eaten, let’s eat a little less later,” Veneto said. “I haven’t had much of a chat with you guys lately, so let’s eat together.”

"..." The destroyers looked on with expressions of unspoken suffering, but since Veneto had already put things this far, they could only lower their heads and respond, "Okay...okay, Boss..."

The destroyers resignedly rushed into the living room.

"Admiral, Camicia and the others... are rather mischievous. I hope they didn't cause you any trouble just now," Veneto said gently to Shiro after the destroyers entered the living room.

“They’re so cute,” Xiaobai said to Veneto with a smile.

"I'm glad I didn't cause you any trouble, Admiral." Veneto breathed a sigh of relief. "The food in the kitchen will be ready in a little while. Admiral, why don't you go to the living room and wait with them for a bit? It'll only take a few minutes for me here."

"Oh well!"

Xiao Bai nodded and walked into the living room.

Despite her petite appearance, Veneto possesses the maturity and composure of an adult, making her incredibly reliable. She even managed to subdue a group of mischievous destroyers.

However... Xiaobai found it a bit strange.

Why did Camicia and the others, who were living in a sweltering environment before, suddenly change their attitude so drastically after learning that Veneto was in the kitchen?

With these questions in mind, Xiaobai went to the living room.

In the living room, Roma had finished watching the TV series. She seemed to be quite familiar with the destroyers. After the destroyers came in, Roma greeted Camicia and skillfully set up a dining table and placed several chairs in the open space in the middle of the living room.

The destroyers were led to the dining table one by one, as if they were being led to their execution.

"Admiral! Is dinner ready? Come sit here, sit here!" The table was set, and Roma couldn't wait to sit down. She had an expectant smile on her face and was rocking back and forth in her chair. "Hehe, I'm so excited, dinner's ready."

Rome's excited demeanor contrasted sharply with the row of dejected destroyers sitting beside her.

This strange scene left Xiaobai with even more questions.

but.

The question in Xiaobai's mind was soon answered.

Just after Xiaobai sat down.

Several minutes passed.

Veneto, who had been in the kitchen, finally finished cooking and came out carrying several large lunchboxes covered with delicate tableware.

"Admiral, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Veneto walked to the dining table, stood on tiptoe, and pushed a plate that was almost as big as his upper body to the center of the table. Then he took out freshly washed bowls, chopsticks and cutlery from his ship equipment space and distributed them to everyone.

"Admiral, would you like to use chopsticks or a fork?"
