After all, compared to the ship girls who are as tough as copper and immune to all diseases, the admiral is a real human being.
Humans get sick, and humans get injured.
That is why medical facilities are essential.
The hospital at the Naval Base was originally built during the time when Shiro's older brother was alive. Now that Shiro has inherited the Naval Base, the hospital is still operating smoothly.
However, since it was a hospital prepared only for the admiral, the maximum number of people it could accommodate was only one person, so it was not large in scale. From the outside, the hospital was just a small white villa marked with a red cross, and there were no nurses or doctors inside.
of course.
Though small, it is fully equipped. It has all kinds of cutting-edge medicines and drugs, top-notch recuperation suites, and expensive and advanced surgical equipment. Everything a top hospital should have is gathered in this small villa. Here, it is not only good for treating minor illnesses such as colds, fevers, and runny noses, but even for performing highly precise craniotomies. As long as the doctor and assistant in charge of the surgery can be sent to this unassuming little villa, the surgery will definitely be carried out smoothly in the best environment and conditions.
Shiro and Yubari arrived at the hospital entrance.
The elegant villa has a white facade, and there is an enlarged red cross icon on the wall.
"Speaking of which, Admiral, you've never been here before, have you?" Yubari said with a smile as she placed her hand on the hospital entrance.
"Because I haven't been sick much."
"Then I guess there won't be many more opportunities in the future," Yubari sighed, pushing open the hospital door.
As soon as the door was pushed open, the first thing that hit you was the familiar smell of disinfectant.
The hospital's environment was exactly the same as that of hospitals in human society, with snow-white bricks and walls, quiet incandescent light bulbs, long corridors, and neatly arranged doors.
"At the front is the warehouse, in the middle is the sterilization room, behind that is the conference room, then behind that is the CT scan room, and then behind that is the operating room..." Yubari pointed to the doors in the corridor as if they were his own children, then pointed to the room at the very end of the corridor and said to Shiro, "Anyway, that's the ward, also known as the recuperation room. Figel is staying there now!"
"Oh!"
Yubari led Shiro to the ward and pushed open the door.
The door opens.
Xiao Bai quickly looked into the house.
The hospital ward in the newbie naval base is a luxurious single suite specially used by the admiral. The first thing you see in the spacious room is a huge bed that you can roll around on. There are empty IV drips next to the bed, a large TV on the wall, and all kinds of furniture are provided. Even the plush toys and pillows are piled up in the corner. It is more like a star-rated hotel than a hospital room.
Figel, whom I hadn't seen for a week, was sitting quietly on the bed, her dark golden eyes fixed on the television on the wall. Her long legs were pressed together, her hands resting on her thighs. She was wearing a blue hospital gown, with a white gauze wrapped around her forehead. Her full figure clung tightly to the thin fabric, her dark breasts almost bursting out, and her bluish-black skin seemed to seep through the fabric, making her exceptionally eye-catching.
"Figel, look who's here!" Yubari called out to Figel inside the house.
Figel reluctantly turned his gaze from the television and looked toward the door.
Then Figel saw Shiro standing next to Yubari.
Figel froze, his eyes widening.
"Figel, how's your injury healing?" Little White smiled and waved to Figel.
"Admiral!" Figel jumped up from the bed and then hopped off, running to Xiaobai like a black rabbit. He looked at Xiaobai's face with a flustered expression.
"Where are you looking?" Xiaobai stepped forward, stood on tiptoe, and touched Figel's chin, making her rush towards him. Then, with a smile, she said, "How come you've gotten so much better in just a few days?"
“…!” Figel shook her head quickly, then squatted down, carefully took Xiaobai’s hand and placed it on her head.
Hiss!
As Figel moved, the sound of fabric tearing rang out, and a noticeable black rip appeared in the tight hospital gown Figel was wearing, torn open by her ample figure.
"Huh? Are the hospital gowns at our naval base really this bad quality?" Xiaobai looked at Figel in shock.
“How could that be?” Yubari retorted. “Our hospital gowns may not be of the highest quality, but they’re still at the average level in human society.”
"Then how come Figel suddenly..."
"Because the clothes she's wearing are your size, Admiral." Yubari shrugged helplessly. "We wanted to find her some suitable clothes, but as soon as she heard they were yours, she refused to take them off. Seriously, just how much does she depend on you, Admiral?"
Yubari's tone was as if he were describing the helplessness of a child who was reluctant to part with his mother on his first day of kindergarten.
"Uh……"
Xiaobai held her forehead and quickly used her other hand to pull up Figel, who was squatting on the ground.
Figel blinked, seemingly unconcerned about the tear in her clothes, but carefully observed Xiaobai's expression.
"Anyway..." Xiaobai took Figel's hand, took a deep breath, then let out a long sigh, and smiled helplessly at Figel, "...Now that I'm already here, I don't need to keep carrying this outfit, right? How about we go change first, and then chat in bed?"
Xiaobai's voice is very gentle.
Figel's head bobbed up like a hammer.
Chapter 2212 Figure in the Mist
There weren't any clothes that fit Figel in the hospital that would be available for the time being, but there were some loose white coats in Yubari's ship equipment space that Figel could make do with.
After draping a white coat over his body, barely concealing his plump figure, Figel sat obediently on the edge of the bed, his dark golden eyes fixed on Xiaobai's cheeks, as devout as a soldier awaiting orders.
Very devout.
—That's probably how Figel felt about Xiaobai.
After all, Figel is different from the previous owner of this body, the Tenth Air Legion. Figel is a new life awakened from the corpse by Xiaobai, and they are two different beings.
In a sense, Xiaobai is not only a master to Figel, but also a god-like being who gave her life. This devout feeling became even purer after the spiritual power of the Tenth Air Legion was removed. In addition, Figel has only been born for less than a few weeks, and Xiaobai saved her life during that time. It is only natural that she would develop a strong sense of dependence on Xiaobai.
Looking at Figel's enthusiastic eyes, Xiaobai didn't know how to start the conversation for a moment. She first scratched her head and subconsciously glanced at the TV on the wall.
The television on the wall was playing a TV series about a fire.
I just happened to have seen this TV series before; it was the one that Veneto and Roma showed me when I visited Veneto's house a while ago.
"Oh, Figel, you're watching this TV series too? There's a female character in it who acts really well," Xiaobai said to Figel.
Xiao Bai had only watched one episode of this TV series, and it was at Veneto's house with Roma and the others. However, what Xiao Bai just said was the truth. Based on Xiao Bai's experience of watching only one or two episodes, this TV series is indeed a very high-quality film and television work. The female character that Roma and the others liked was outstanding in both appearance and acting skills, leaving a deep impression.
Xiao Bai had barely finished speaking.
Sure enough, Figel's eyes lit up immediately.
Figel nodded rapidly, as if he completely agreed with what Xiaobai said.
But before Figel could open his mouth, a surprised voice rang out from behind Xiaobai.
"Hey! Admiral, you've seen this TV series too!" Yubari exclaimed excitedly as she approached, her face beaming with joy at finding a fellow enthusiast.
"Oh? You've seen Yubari too?"
"What are you saying? I'm the one who recommended this drama to Figel," Yubari quickly replied. "After all, I'm her attending physician... Ah! Let's not talk about that. I knew you liked that nurse actress too, right, Admiral? That's so true, that's so true! I like her a lot too! How does she act so realistically? She's so young yet has such superb acting skills, and she doesn't have any idol baggage. She did a really good job in that scene where she's dragging someone out of a mud pit. It was so exciting to watch her act with the veteran actors in the drama!"
"Wow... wow, this TV series is so popular!" Xiaobai said with some emotion as he watched Yubari talking non-stop.
"This isn't just a hit! This is a phenomenal film!" Yubari pointed a finger at Shiro. "Phenomenon! That's right! A super film that's swept the nation and gained worldwide acclaim. From the script to the casting to the filming, it's a top-notch production! Now, all the young lead actors in the show have become phenomenal superstars! You can hear people discussing this just by walking around the streets of Kyoto! Even now, many ship girls in the naval base are watching it!"
"I thought you weren't interested in this, Yubari..."
"I don't really like watching TV, but I'll watch a couple of episodes on my phone during my breaks, hehe." Yubari grinned and scratched his head.
"So it really is that powerful..." Xiaobai looked at Figel, and sure enough, Figel was nodding in agreement with Yubari's words.
At this moment.
Do not know why.
A sense of unfamiliarity, as if outdated by the times, enveloped Xiaobai.
Before becoming an admiral, Xiaobai wasn't exactly a fanatic about watching dramas, but she would at least watch good ones. She should have finished watching the popular, phenomenal shows that Yubari mentioned long ago... But after only a year or two as an admiral, she's already showing signs of being out of touch with the times...
This is not good...
Doesn't this mean... I'm going to go from a young woman to a middle-aged woman...?
Xiao Bai covered her mouth, looking somewhat frightened.
"Admiral? Why do you look so scared?" Yubari asked curiously, looking at Shiro's expression.
"Huh? Oh, no, nothing..." Xiaobai snapped out of her daze, gave an awkward smile, and then straightened her body, forcing herself not to look at the television on the wall.
After their conversation, the awkwardness between Xiaobai and Figel has completely dissipated, and they can now converse normally.
As for that TV series... well, I'll rewatch it when I have time after the eighth chapter is over.
Xiaobai doesn't want to become an old lady yet.
I don't want to yet, at least not right now.
"Um... back to the main topic... Figel, how are your injuries?" Xiaobai asked Figel.
Figel blinked, then raised her arm and moved it a couple of times in front of Little White.
“It doesn’t hurt anymore,” Figel shook his head.
"You recovered so quickly."
Xiao Bai lifted Figel's arm, pulled open the sleeve, and revealed her delicate, bluish-black skin.
Although Figel's skin tone was unusual, its texture was quite good, cool and soft to the touch, like a black silk handkerchief.
To Xiaobai's eyes, Figel's arm was smooth and delicate, with no trace of the black metal wire that had once been inserted.
“Figel is the director of the Deep Sea Hospital after all. Her body’s recovery speed is more than ten times that of humans.” Yubari said, tapping the IV drip next to her. “In addition, we used this, so she had almost no scars on her body the day after her surgery. The reason we’re still keeping her here is that Lexington said she’d wait for you to come back before dealing with her.”
"An IV drip? Are human medications effective against Figel?"
"No, the IV drip contains deep-sea energy."
"Uh...we have this in our naval base?"
"When in doubt, just ask Xiaohong."
“Alright…” Xiaobai gave a wry smile, patted Figel’s head, and said to Yubari, “As for Figel… well, let her come with me from now on.”
“I guessed so.” Yubari nodded, turning to leave. “Then, Admiral, please wait a moment, I’ll get her discharged right away…”
"Ah, wait a minute." Shiro quickly called out to Yubari.
"Huh? What's wrong, Admiral?" Yubari stopped and turned around to look at Shiro with curiosity.
"Don't rush the discharge procedures..."
After thinking for a while, Xiaobai first looked at Figel, then sat down next to Figel, carefully leaned close to Figel's ear, and whispered a few words.
Figel listened silently to what Xiaobai had to say.
"Is this okay?" Xiaobai put down her hand and asked Figel.
“Mm.” Figel nodded, looking into Little White’s eyes, and replied, “Okay.”
"Thank you!" Xiaobai gave Figel a grateful smile.
Then, Shiro looked at Yubari.
"Yubari, I'll be relying on you a lot from now on." Shiro bowed his head earnestly to Yubari.
"Please." Figel followed Xiaobai's words and bowed his head as well.
"Huh? What are you asking me to do?" Yubari stood there, stunned, looking at Figel and Shiro with a confused expression. "What do you mean, 'ask me to do'? What happened? What's going on now?"
……
It's another sunny day.
On the sea in Chapter 2213, a group of well-trained ship girls are speeding across the ocean.
"We're about to close the net here! Are they ready over there?!"
"good----"
"Three, two, one!"
The ship girls sped across the sea, but they weren't fighting. Instead, each of them held a large fishing net and shouted in unison as they pulled the net upwards. Soon, as the net left the water, a large number of fish, shrimp, and crabs caught in it came into view.
Suddenly, the sea was filled with the splashing of fish tails and the crunching of seashells colliding.
"What a bountiful day!" Several ship girls exclaimed, looking at their catch in the fishing nets.
"The seafood in Chapter 8 is so plentiful! Where else can you find so much good stuff just by scooping it up?" A ship girl swung her fishing net, grabbed a shrimp as big as her palm, peeled it on the spot, and took a bite of the tender shrimp meat. "Mmm—sweet and delicious!"
"Hey! Take it back to base to eat!" the ship girl next to her quickly said.
"Hehe, there aren't many, I'll just have one!" The scolded ship girl stuck out her tongue, finished the shrimp in a few bites, tossed the shell back into the sea, and then, with a lingering expression, said, "So delicious, so delicious~"
"You silly girl... sigh." The ship girl beside her sighed helplessly, "This is for the newbie comrades in the naval base to eat."
"It's alright, it's alright. The admiral of the newbie naval base is now our acting admiral! We're all family!" The ship girl said, as if trying to change the subject, "And speaking of which, the acting admiral hasn't shown up for almost a week. I wonder where she went."
"The acting admiral went to protect us and led a team to explore the seas. He hasn't returned for a week, so he must have made great progress." Another ship girl remarked with feeling, "Our Haoding Naval Base owes a lot to Admiral Lu Lin this time. Without her help, our admiral might not have made it this time..."
