Elder brother's garrison

"Don't worry, Yamato-neechan. Jean Bart is one of us. She won't hurt any of our family members. I also told her before not to use her abilities to do anything too outrageous to innocent people." Shiro said to Yamato, but seeing the deep worry on Yamato's face, she turned to Jean Bart and said, "Jean Bart, come and talk to Yamato-neechan too. You said you're a good girl and won't do anything bad."

"Here I am!" Jean Bart skipped and hopped over to Abyssal Yamato, hands behind her back. She stood on tiptoe, bowed slightly to Yamato, and a bright expression slowly spread across her face. "Pretty Abyssal big sister, don't worry—even though we're ship girls and Abyssal, as long as my abilities are still in effect, you'll soon forget I exist. Once you forget, you won't have to worry anymore! Even if I sneak up behind you and do all sorts of things to you in front of everyone, I guarantee you won't even notice!"

"—That explanation will only scare me more!!!"

"Hahaha!"

The sounds of Bartholomew's laughter and Deepsea Yamato's frantic shouts rose into the sky.

A few minutes later.

After somewhat calming down Yamato's worries, Shiro and the other two left the path in front of the cafeteria with Yamato.

Jean Bart followed at the back of the white team, looking at the nearby flowers and plants with great interest.

Shiro and Yamato walked side by side, with Yamato holding Shiro's arm with a satisfied look on his face, as if he wanted to stick to Shiro.

Along the way, Xiaobai and his group encountered a ship girl from a newbie naval base, causing a minor commotion.

"Huh? Admiral, you're back?"

"Yes, I came back to take care of some things, I'll be going back in a bit."

"Eh—okay then."

The ship girls greeted Shiro one after another, then regretfully gave up the idea of ​​inviting Shiro to dinner and headed towards the cafeteria.

As Xiaobai and his group walked, the surroundings gradually quieted down.

Shiro looked up at the darkening sky, then turned to look at Yamato Akagi, who was clinging to her arm with a carefree smile.

"Speaking of which, what are you doing at the cafeteria entrance at this hour, Yamato-neechan?" Shiro asked Abyss Yamato. "It should be past the usual time for the maids at the naval base to get off work by now, right? And I remember you never eat at the cafeteria, Yamato-neechan."

"That's because of you, Shiro." Yamato Fukami raised his chin slightly as he listened to Shiro's words.

"I?"

"It's because you didn't see me when you came back last time, so in order to be the first one to find you when you come back to the naval base next time, I asked Renown for a job sweeping the streets near the cafeteria." Yamato Fukami said as she walked, "I swept the alleys near the cafeteria over and over again, so that I can be the first one to find you when you come back, Xiaobai."

“Yamato-neechan…” Shiro looked at Yamato’s profile and was deeply moved.

"What about you, Shiro? What brings you back this time?" Yamato Fukami turned his head curiously to look at him.

"Hmm? Didn't you say once when you first came back that you were bringing a special ship girl to see your family..." Xiaobai paused for a moment, and subconsciously replied, but after seeing the serious and innocent expression on Deepsea Yamato's face, Xiaobai was silent for a moment, then smiled slightly and slowly said, "Ah... it seems that you forgot again, Yamato-neechan."

"Forgot what?" Yamato tilted his head, looking puzzled.

"Yamato-neechan, behind you..."

"Behind me? What's behind me... Waa ...

Shenhai Yamato turned around and saw Jean Bart standing very close to him, smiling and greeting him. Shenhai Yamato immediately let out a series of screams like a kitten.

This scene.

It felt like a scene I'd seen before.

……

If Jean Bart remains silent, even Yamato Fukami, who just had a brief encounter with her, will quickly forget her existence again.

However, every time Deepsea Yamato forgot about Jean Bart's existence and asked Shiro about her reason for returning, Shiro would patiently explain Jean Bart to Deepsea Yamato. So, every ten minutes or so along the way, Deepsea Yamato's long and distinctive scream could be heard.

After going back and forth several times, exhausted, Yamato found a wall and leaned against it, breathing heavily.

"Sigh...no, I can't take it anymore, I've been scared so many times already..." Yamato Aqua leaned against the wall, her head bowed low, letting out a long sigh. The group of Shiro and his companions could even see a dark energy emanating from Yamato Aqua, distinct from the aura of the deep sea.

"Are you alright?" Jean Bart stood considerately beside Yamato Abyss and handed her a few tissues.

Chapter 2697 The Novice with Experimental Talent

"This feeling is so strange. Even if I'm mentally prepared, if I don't pay attention to you for even a little while, all the memories about you in my head will evaporate in an instant, and then they won't come back until I see you again." Yamato Fukami wiped his forehead with Jean Bart's tissue and said to Jean Bart with a helpless expression, "It feels like my head is going to become someone else's."

"That's not something I can control." Jean Bart stood on tiptoe with his hands behind his back, playfully sticking out his tongue at Yamato Fukami.

"Speaking of which, Xiaobai, won't you forget Jean Bart?" After wiping her face, Shenhai Yamato looked at the tissue in her hand and suddenly asked Xiaobai curiously.

"I don't know how," Xiaobai shook her head.

"Huh? That's amazing! How did you do that?!" Yamato Akagi exclaimed in surprise.

"I don't know exactly how I did it..." Xiaobai scratched his head and smiled bitterly at Shenhai Yamato. "But Lianlian said that maybe it's because my mental strength is too strong that I was exempt from Jean Bart's skill effect."

"As expected of Xiaobai..."

The deep sea is breathtaking.

Deep Sea Yamato put away the tissues and trotted over to Shiro: "Besides you, Shiro, is there anyone else who can withstand Jean Bart's skill effects?"

"I tried it in Chapter 8, but I haven't encountered a second one yet..."

"Little Bai, you're really amazing..."

"I'm not sure if this level of skill is due to its impressive nature..."

As Shiro and Yamato walked and talked, the group gradually moved away from the path where the cafeteria was located and came to a secluded garden.

Another few minutes passed.

Yamato Shinkai looked at the path ahead and blinked.

"Huh? Shiro, speaking of which, what were you and Super Yamato going back to the naval base for again?" Deep Sea Yamato turned to Shiro and asked.

Upon hearing Yamato's question, Shiro smiled helplessly once again.

Looks like I'll have to explain Jean Bart's existence to Yamato-neechan again...

"Yamato-neechan, actually, behind you..."

Xiaobai raised her finger and pointed at Jean Bart behind Abyss Yamato again. She wanted Abyss Yamato to turn her head and look at the ship girl behind her, but before Xiaobai could finish speaking, Abyss Yamato suddenly looked stern, and then raised her head as if facing a great enemy, and quickly looked straight ahead.

Not only Deep Sea Yamato, but also Super Yamato, who had been quietly following on the other side of Shiro, and Jean Bart, who was lounging at the back of the group, all looked ahead at the same time.

Crack...

Crack...

The crisp sound of chains dragging on the ground rang out in front of the crowd.

Xiao Bai lowered his hand and looked ahead.

Not far from them, on a narrow garden path, a tall, cold figure was quietly approaching them step by step.

Crack...

Crack...

The figure that appeared before Xiaobai and the others was a voluptuous woman with an exceptionally tall figure.

The woman wore a tattered black trench coat, her eyes covered by thick white bandages. Beneath the tattered coat, her bare, pale feet, toes together, gently trod on the cold floor tiles, her ankles bound by shockingly heavy chains. The woman moved forward very slowly, each step accompanied by a crisp, resounding dragging of the heavy chains across the tiles.

As the woman approached step by step, a chilling aura, as if dragging one into an abyss, swept over them like a tidal wave.

Upon encountering this pure deep-sea aura, even the two deep-sea beings, Deep Sea Yamato and Super Yamato, couldn't help but hold their breath.

Standing at the very back of the Deep Sea Yamato and the Super Yamato, Jean Bart covered his mouth, looking extremely cautious and barely daring to breathe.

Compared to Deep Sea Yamato, Super Yamato, and Jean Bart, Shiro's reaction was quite ordinary. After noticing a special woman approaching, Shiro first glanced ahead, then his eyes lit up and he revealed a friendly and approachable smile.

"Frederick?" Little White called out to the woman in front of him with a smile.

"..." Frederick stopped and slowly raised her chin to look over.

"What a coincidence!" Xiaobai smiled and waved to Frederick. "Are you out for a walk so late?"

Frederick the Great looked up at Little White, nodded slightly, and dragged the chains to Little White's side.

When Frederick the Great stood in front of Little White, the shadow he cast almost completely covered Little White.

However, Xiaobai was not afraid at all, and just looked at Frederick the Great with a smile.

“…Hmm.” Frederick the Great replied simply.

"Have you not finished your walk for today?"

"……Um."

"That won't do. Didn't we agree that you'd go for a walk every day?" Little White said earnestly to Frederick the Great. "The early bird catches the worm, so try to do it during the day..."

"..." Frederick the Great looked at Little White through the gauze.

In fact, Frederick the Great's usual walks were indeed done in the morning. However, what Xiaobai didn't know was that after Frederick the Great joined the newbie naval base, he and Lexington had secretly made a small rule: when Xiaobai wasn't at the naval base, Frederick the Great had to stay obediently in the prison and not leave her side for a moment.

If Frederick the Great leaves the prison without permission, the garrison will consider his actions as rebellion.

During this time, Little White was not in the garrison. Frederick the Great, of course, abided by the rules established by Lexington and stayed obediently in the prison every day without going out.

However, just about half an hour ago, Frederick the Great sensed that Xiaobai was returning to the garrison.

After sensing that Xiaobai had arrived at the naval base, the old rules of Lexington naturally became invalid. According to Xiaobai's rules, Frederick the Great must go out for a walk every day—and today Frederick the Great did not go out, so he was forced to go out under the moonlight.

"Hmm?" Little White tilted his head curiously, noticing that Frederick the Great hadn't spoken for a long time. "What's wrong, Frederick?"

"...It's nothing." Frederick the Great shook her head, glancing through her bandages at the Deep Sea Yamato and Super Yamato behind Xiaobai. "I'm leaving."

Although Xiaobai didn't understand why Frederick the Great would be taking a walk in the middle of the night.

However, Frederick the Great still wouldn't explain the rules of Lexington to the young prince.

"Oh..." Little White waved to Frederick the Great, "Goodnight, Frederick."

"..." Frederick the Great nodded silently.

Frederick the Great bypassed the super-sized Yamato and deep-sea Yamato behind Little White and went straight to Jean Bart, who was covering her mouth. Then she slowly stopped and thought quietly for a while before changing direction and continuing to walk towards the other end of the road.

Xiao Bai, who had been watching Frederick the Great's movements, was taken aback.

Huh?

Wait a minute, didn't Frederick the Great deliberately avoid Jean Bart just now?

"Frederick, wait a minute!" Little White hurriedly called out to Frederick the Great.

"...?" Frederick the Great stopped and turned to look at Little White.

"Frederick...how many people are there here?" Xiaobai thought for a moment and slowly spoke to Frederick the Great.

“…” Frederick the Great was silent for a moment. She looked around and slowly said, “If you include me, there might be five.”

"Five...?!" Xiaobai's eyes widened.

Frederick the Great, Little White himself, Deep Sea Yamato, Super Yamato, Jean Bart... One, two, three, four, five, exactly five people!

Could Frederick the Great have seen Jean Bart?!

An epic discovery!

"Frederick, can you see Jeanbart?" Little White asked excitedly.

"...Is the fifth person named Jeanbart?" Frederick the Great replied calmly, but then she shook her head. "I can't see her."

"Huh? But you already said there are five people..."

"I can only vaguely sense that someone is hiding around here using special methods," Frederick the Great said. "As for what kind of person is hiding, where they are, and what they are doing, I have no idea."

"Is this so..."

"I'm leaving," Frederick the Great shook his head.

"Okay, goodnight then." Little White waved and said goodbye to Frederick the Great once again.

Frederick the Great then turned around and slowly left, dragging the chains on his feet.

As night deepened, Frederick the Great's figure blended into the darkness and soon disappeared from sight.

After Frederick the Great's aura disappeared, everyone present, except for Little White, subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Bai stared thoughtfully in the direction where Frederick the Great had disappeared, his eyes flickering.

Frederick the Great did indeed sense Jean Bart's presence. However, according to Frederick the Great, she couldn't perceive Jean Bart's state as clearly as he could; she only vaguely sensed someone hiding around her.

Ok……

Even so, this is the first example today of someone who was able to proactively notice Jean Bart.

How was Frederick the Great able to detect it?

Xiao Bai looked at his palm.
