Elder brother's garrison

Little White gazed and gazed.

Then she saw Elizabeth and Kaga, each carrying two baskets of crabs, walking excitedly toward her from the roadside in the distance.

"Huh? Is that Admiral Lu Lin!" Elizabeth saw Xiao Bai from afar, and a look of joy appeared on her face. She couldn't help but jog over in this direction.

"Miss Elizabeth, good afternoon." Xiaobai smiled and waved to Elizabeth, and also smiled slightly at Kaga behind Elizabeth, "Kaga, thank you for your hard work. You were just out fishing, weren't you?"

"Yes, Admiral." Kaga nodded to Shiro.

"Admiral Lu Lin, it feels like it's been ages since I've seen you." Elizabeth smiled and held up two baskets full of crabs, handing them to Xiaobai. "Admiral Lu Lin, today's harvest is exceptionally good. These are crabs we just caught at sea!"

Little White glanced into Elizabeth's basket.

As expected of the seafood in Chapter Eight, each crab in the basket was bigger than Xiaobai's face, and their legs were bent and pointing towards the sky, baring their teeth and claws.

"Thank you, Miss Elizabeth," Xiaobai said with a smile to Elizabeth.

"You're welcome!" Elizabeth smiled apologetically at Xiaobai, then her gaze suddenly fell on the group of ship girls gathered at the villa's entrance not far away. Upon seeing the Abyssal Zuikaku surrounded by the ship girls, Elizabeth paused, "Eh... Admiral Lu Lin, who's that over there...?"

"Oh? Ah... that's my ship girl." Following Elizabeth's gaze, Xiaobai glanced at the Abyssal Zuikaku surrounded by ship girls and answered without blushing or getting angry.

“Hmm…” Elizabeth looked at the Deep Sea Zuikaku strangely. She tilted her head and stared at the Deep Sea Zuikaku’s face for a while, “…It feels like I haven’t seen it much before.”

“Yes, after all, I have more people on my side. And the supply team also received some new members recently,” Xiaobai explained to Elizabeth.

“That’s true.” Elizabeth smiled with relief upon hearing this. “I’m also starting to get used to the occasional unfamiliar face appearing around Admiral Lu Lin.”

"You'll get used to it..." Xiaobai scratched his head.

"Admiral Lu Lin, may I go say hello?" Elizabeth asked Xiaobai, pointing to the ship girl in the distance.

"Sure. Her name is Ruihe. Go ahead."

"Huh? I remember Admiral Lu Lin, you should have someone named Ruihe on your side..."

"To be honest, I have two ship girls named Zuikaku in my naval base."

"Oh, no wonder... I'll go say hello right now!" Elizabeth nodded, bowed to Little White, and then excitedly headed towards the villa gate with the crab in her arms.

About half an hour later.

With the materials provided by Elizabeth, steamed hairy crabs were added to the villa's lunch menu.

"Waaaaah... I never imagined that the story between Miss Zuikaku and Admiral Lu Lin would be so touching... Waaaaah..." During lunch, after hearing the story recounted by the ship girls, Elizabeth couldn't help but wipe away tears, moved to tears. "Why did I only realize Miss Zuikaku's existence today... Waaaaah, I'm so sorry... I'll pay more attention to the people around me in the future..."

"It's alright, it's alright. Come on, let's eat crab!" The ship girls handed over thick crab legs to comfort Elizabeth, and the atmosphere at the dining table was lively and cheerful.

Xiaobai sat in her seat, watching Elizabeth and the Abyssal Zuikaku being surrounded by a group of ship girls vying to feed it in the distance, and sighed contentedly.

After meal.

Just after Elizabeth was taken out for a walk by the ship girls, the deep-sea Zuikaku, who had been fed a bellyful of food by the ship girls, staggered over to Shiro.

"Miss Zuikaku, how are you? Are you getting used to the food here?"

"I'm so full..." Zuikaku rubbed his stomach, head down, his face looking rather pale. "Functionally speaking, I don't need to eat..."

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it... Eating is a very common activity in human society..." Xiaobai smiled at the Deep Sea Zuikaku, "So how do you feel being here?"

"...It's alright." Akami Zuikaku turned her gaze back to the group of lively ship girls behind her, who were practically creatures compared to herself. "It's noisy and crowded here...but better than the ruined city."

"If Miss Zuikaku wants to stay here, she can stay as she pleases," Shiro said after hearing Zuikaku's words. "Anyway, my ship girl seems to welcome you quite a bit."

“…No.” Fukami Zuikaku paused in rubbing her stomach, remained silent for a moment, and then shook her head.

"what happened?"

“The shore is, after all, the edge of my territory. Staying here for too long will arouse Frederick’s suspicion.” Deep Sea Zuikaku said softly, looking up at Little White with a calm gaze. “So… I should go back.”

“…Okay.” Xiaobai and Shenhai Zuikaku exchanged a glance and nodded.

Xiaobai stood up, summoned Super Yamato, and conjured a black vortex.

"Huh? Admiral, are you going back?" The ship girls who noticed the black vortex all looked over.

"Yes, this is a battlefield after all, and it's not suitable for a newcomer like Zuikaku, so I'm going to take Zuikaku back to the naval base to settle down," Shiro explained to the ship girls with a smile.

"Oh...I see. Well then, Zuikaku, we'll see you back at the naval base!" The ship girls nodded somewhat disappointedly, but quickly cheered up and said goodbye to Abyssal Zuikaku. "But if you have time, Zuikaku, you can ask the Admiral to bring you here again! Bye-bye!"

"I'll bring her back when I have time..." Xiaobai gave the ship girls a wry smile and answered for Abyssal Zuikaku.

Despite being the "noble" Dean of the Abyss, Abyss Zuikaku, though concealing her identity, still harbored a deep-seated barrier between the Abyss and the ship girls. Therefore, she consistently acted distant from the ship girls, ignoring their attempts to warmly inquire about her well-being. While things were fine at first, it would be rather impolite to leave without a word. So, Xiaobai decided to help Abyss Zuikaku socialize a bit, reducing the awkwardness of her departure.

"Miss Zuikaku, let's go." Shiro called out to the indifferent-looking Zuikaku, and then, along with Mega and Dahe, they entered the black vortex one after another.

As Shiro and Yamato disappeared into the whirlpool, Abyssal Zuikaku didn't immediately follow Shiro's footsteps. Instead, she silently turned back and glanced at the ship girls who were saying goodbye to her.

Abyssal Zuikaku's indifferent gaze swept across the smiling faces of the ship girls.

Shenhai Ruihe felt that her stomach was still very full, and there was a buzzing sound in her ears.

"..."

The deep-sea Zuikaku stared at the ship girls for a while.

Subsequently.

"……Bye-Bye."

"...This is a good place, thank you."

The Deep Sea Zuikaku waved somewhat stiffly to the ship girls, and then, under their watchful eyes, slowly disappeared into the black vortex.

The black vortex disappeared with a whoosh.

The ship girls remained where they were, blinking as they watched the black vortex disappear.

"Um...did you guys just hear that?" one of the ship girls asked.

"I...I think I heard it, Zuikaku-neechan was saying thank you...I...I'm not hallucinating, am I?"

"You're not hallucinating! Because I heard it too, she was saying thank you to her sisters!"

"Waaaaah, the glacier is melting! Zuikaku was touched by our enthusiasm! How adorable!"

"Yeah yeah!"

The ship girls nodded to each other with emotion, their expressions showing happiness as they felt the warmth of the world.

-

At the other end of the black vortex.

In the ruins of the city.

Shiro, Yamato, and Zuikaku couldn't stand being in the cramped locker room any longer, so they pushed open the door and collapsed onto the floor.

"Ah... I'm finally back!" Xiaobai sighed as she felt the cold floor.

"Why did you put the exit here..." The muttering of the Deep Sea Crane reached Xiaobai's ears from behind.

"Uh... well, I guess I just lost my mind for a moment..." Xiaobai smiled wryly, turned around to look at Shenhai Zuikaku, then tilted her head, "Eh? Miss Shenhai Zuikaku?"

"?"

Why is your face suddenly so red?

“…refreshed.”

Zhang Tui, "Where is the New Body?"

Lin Ran never expected that even after screaming to transmigrate... he would still die.

However, in her soul form, the only way for her to revive is by using someone else's body, so...

"Let me see where the new body is."

Chapter 2020: The Battle of the Super Yamato

Fukami Zuikaku rubbed her cheeks, and the blush on her face quickly faded, returning her to her calm and composed demeanor.

"I'm leaving." Shenhai Zuikaku glanced at the surrounding corridors, then said calmly to Xiaobai, "If you need my help in the future, feel free to call me anytime."

"Miss Suzukaku is leaving so soon? Won't you stay and sit for a while?" Shiro asked, trying to persuade her to stay.

“If you still want to use me as one of your trump cards to defeat Frederick, we should keep our distance until you make your move.” Fukami Zuikaku calmly turned around and walked downstairs, saying as he went, “I won’t come looking for you again until you come looking for me on your own.”

"Oh...I see..." Xiaobai nodded, silently watching the Deep Sea Zuikaku leave the corridor alone.

Xiaobai and Chaoda closed the locker room door and went down to the first floor. Shenhai Zuikaku was no longer in the lobby.

Looking at the entrance to the lobby on the first floor, Xiaobai and Chaoda exchanged a glance.

"Anyway... this time, Miss Zuikaku from the Deep Sea is on our side, right?" Shiro asked Chao Yamato with a sigh.

"Yes! Admiral is amazing!" Chao Dahe offered his admiring gaze without reservation.

“There were originally six Deepsea Deans in this city. Among them, Deepsea Zuikaku has now sided with us, Savoy has chosen to remain neutral, and Figel, as the seventh Deepsea Dean, is currently lurking in the ruins area. The Deepsea Deans who are on Frederick's side are now Barbarossa, Deepsea Hindenburg, and Kamikaze…” Xiaobai tapped his chin, thinking for a while.

"Is the Admiral going to continue trying to persuade them to surrender?" Chao Yahe asked curiously, listening to Xiaobai's words.

“Yes… Anyway, there’s still some time, so we’ll try to persuade as many as we can.” Xiaobai answered frankly, but then nodded thoughtfully, “Hmm… Kamikaze seems to be the Deep Sea Dean who was also imprisoned in the city by Frederick. Judging from that, Kamikaze’s chances of being persuaded to surrender should be higher than the other two…”

"The Admiral is going to find Kamikaze?" Chao Yamato immediately became worried upon hearing Kamikaze's name.

"Well..." Xiaobai scratched his head helplessly, "While that makes sense, to be honest, I don't really want to see her right now..."

In Shiro's eyes, Kamikaze was an absolutely dangerous woman...

Xiao Bai still vividly remembers what Shen Feng did to her after she tricked him into going to her house. If Xiao Bai's willpower had been even slightly weaker back then, and he had fallen for Shen Feng's seductive charms, who knows what miserable state he would be in now…

Just thinking about the consequences made Xiaobai feel a chill run down his spine.

"Kamikaze... let's leave that aside for now... More importantly, my relationship with Hindenburg developed a bit yesterday. How about I go see Hindenburg today? It just so happens that it's the time we agreed to meet again yesterday." Shiro asked Yamato.

Compared to Kamikaze, the outsider who is full of indescribable thoughts about himself, Hindenburg, the Deep Sea, is a "city native" in the same batch as Frederick the Great, but he is more naive and seems easier to fool. Perhaps the success rate of recruiting him is much higher than that of Xiaobai seeking out Kamikaze.

“Okay, the Deep Sea Hindenburg looks safer…” Super Yamato breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to Shiro.

“Alright! Let’s conquer the Deep Sea Hindenburg today!” Xiaobai raised his hand.

"Alright! Good luck, Admiral!" Super Yamato raised his hand, cheering on Shiro with relief. "I'll stay home and wait for your good news, Admiral!"

"...Well...I'm afraid I can't let you stay home today." Xiaobai grinned at Chaoda.

"What's wrong?" Chao Dahe was taken aback.

"Actually, I got you a job yesterday..." Xiaobai scratched his cheek sheepishly.

"Take on jobs?" The question was both overwhelming and perplexing.

……

In the center of an open space in a ruined city.

Hindenburg squatted on the ground, excitedly drawing circles. She would look up from time to time, gazing into the distance, then lower her head again with anticipation, repeating this cycle over and over.

Finally, at one moment when he looked up, Hindenburg in the deep sea saw two familiar figures at the far end of the waterway.

"Admiral!" Upon seeing the two figures, Hindenburg jumped up excitedly from the ground, waving her arms vigorously towards the distance and shouting, "Admiral! Admiral! Admiral!"

The two figures rushing from afar were none other than Shiro and Chao Yamato.

"Deep Sea Hindenburg! We're here!" Little White waved to Deep Sea Hindenburg. "Sorry... um, we seem to be a little late... Have you been waiting here for a long time?"

"Soon! Soon!" Hindenburg trotted up to Shiro, circling Shiro and Super Yamato a few times like an excited puppy, before stopping in front of Shiro and excitedly asking, "Admiral! Yesterday's promise! Can we fight today?"

"Okay, I'm here today to fulfill my promise."

Little White smiled and nodded at the Deep Sea Hindenburg.

Xiaobai promised Deepsea Hindenburg that he would spar with her after she defeated Super Yamato.

"Super Yamato... Anyway, could you please spar with Deepsea Hindenburg?" Shiro asked Super Yamato.

"Yes, ma'am." Chao Da nodded earnestly.

When Xiaobai took Chao Yahe away from home, he had already told her the whole story of his relationship with Deep Sea Hindenburg, including the battle they had arranged today. After the initial surprise, Chao Yahe readily accepted the challenge.

—The Dean of the Deep Sea Institute, huh?

—Don't be fooled by Super Yamato's kind and docile appearance in front of Shiro. She is, after all, the super-powerful Abyssal Dean who inherited the name Super Yamato. Fighting is ingrained in her DNA and has become an indelible biological instinct. Fighting a Deep Sea Hindenburg is child's play for her, and she is not afraid at all.

Xiao Bai retreated to the edge of the open space, gazing at the super-large and deep-sea Hindenburg from afar.
