Judging from their physiques, Shiro isn't actually that much bigger than Fubuki, just a head taller. It seems that because of this, Fubuki's feelings for Shiro are closer to those of a sweet, affectionate older sister.
Xiao Bai's gaze shifted to Reputation.
Even the glamorous head maid seemed helpless against Fubuki.
"...It's okay, I've finished my work. It's alright if I go play with Fubuki." Shiro patted Fubuki's head and explained to Reputation, "Is that alright?"
In this naval base, most of the ship girls treat Shiro as a junior. Being treated as an elder by Fubuki makes Shiro a little happy.
"...Reputation understands." Reputation bowed slightly.
"Wow, really!" Fubuki, nestled in Shiro's arms, blushed with joy upon hearing that Shiro was going out with her. She seemed to recall the time Renown had dragged her out of the Admiral's office, and made a funny face at Renown, "Hehehe!"
Renown responded to the destroyer's grimaces with a faint smile.
"Yes, really," Xiaobai said. "Then take me to find Baixue and the others."
"Mmm-hmm-hmm!" Fubuki laughed, circled around Shiro, ran behind him, and pushed him as they jogged, "Speed up, speed up..."
Destroyers are like that; because their ship equipment is relatively small and they are very fast, their humanoid forms are mostly cute little girls who are always full of energy, like little suns, and are the joy of the naval base.
Reputation and unexpected success failed to catch up.
Counterattack came out of the house.
"Isn't Sister going?" The younger one countered, not quite understanding why Reputation hadn't caught up.
"Hmm." Reputation lowered his head, touched his left hand through his glove, and then chuckled softly. "Let the little girl have fun."
"Oh……"
"Go ahead and fight back."
"No. I want to stay with my sister." The little maid, who looked just like the head maid, smiled lightly as she looked at the reputation.
While the Reputation Sisters were in the corridor, the window in the Admiral's Room was suddenly pulled open from the outside.
"Hmm, hmm, hmm... Hmm." Two slender arms reached in from outside the window.
My fingertips darted around in the air until they finally touched the floor.
The sound of tapping on the glass came from inside, and Lexington couldn't help but put down the documents in her hand and look up.
The owner of the arm finally managed to climb in through the window.
It was Saratoga.
“This is the third floor,” Lexington sighed. “Jiajia, how many times have I told you to use the main entrance?”
"Oh." Saratoga looked around, found her sister, stood up, and nodded quickly. "Got it."
He showed absolutely no remorse.
Saratoga preferred to jump directly from the ground floor to the third floor and then climb over the stairs rather than walk up the stairs.
According to her, it seems to be more convenient.
"Have you finished your work?" Saratoga asked, unable to find Little White.
“…Ah, all done, all done.” Lexington, facing her sister, seemed to have finally found someone to vent her frustrations to. “I really dragged the team down.”
"what happened?"
Saratoga blinked her beautiful eyes and darted to Lexington's side.
Lexington looked at Saratoga, who was squatting beside him like a little pet, and couldn't help but chuckle.
She got up, took the teapot, and poured Saratoga a cup of tea.
"It's getting a bit cold."
"It's ok."
After taking a sip of sweet tea, Lexington slowly began to chat with Saratoga.
—It's been a long time since I've chatted with my younger sister.
I'm always dealing with endless documents, and the work pressure is so great that I simply don't have time to do these things.
Lexington couldn't help but look up at the sky outside the window.
It was a deep, clear blue.
Xiao Bai has indeed changed something.
It changed Lexington's declining reputation and also changed Lexington itself.
Chapter 24 Drinking is not allowed.
The harbor is right in front of the naval base, where the azure sea reflects the clear sky. A gentle sea breeze carries a faint salty scent.
On the main road not far away, a plume of smoke billowed, faintly shimmering with a blue light.
"Buzz buzz----"
That's the sound of an engine starting.
"whoosh"
As Feiyan approached the naval base, a blue taxi sprang out, performed a spectacular 180-degree drift, and came to a smooth stop in front of the base.
"Click."
The taxi door opened, and a little girl with long white hair stepped out.
The girl, dressed in a blue sailor uniform, glanced around with her beautiful eyes and then took a deep breath.
He revealed a big smile.
"Wow—you're back."
"La la la la la~ Is anyone going to welcome me~" The little girl hummed a strange tune as she walked inside.
"Hey, hey, hey, pay up!" Behind her, in the small blue taxi, a man in his fifties or sixties was looking at the girl with a helpless expression.
The girl turned around and quickly ran back.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry." The girl took out a white credit card from her pocket and said to the old man, "Can I pay by card?"
"It's alright, it's alright," the old man said, putting his arm on the window and examining the girl for a few moments. "Let me see... Hmm, seven hundred yuan. Swipe it."
After speaking, the old man skillfully pulled a POS machine from the passenger seat next to him.
The girl swiped her card on the meter, and with a beep, the price was transferred.
"Little girl, are you not human?" the old man asked, looking at the girl.
"Yes." The little girl nodded shyly and replied, "I'm a ship girl, and I'm not very familiar with the rules of human society yet. I'm so sorry I forgot to pay."
"It's okay, it's okay. I had the same problem yesterday when I gave a ride to a young girl; I forgot to pay."
"Is she a ship girl too?"
"No, no, no, it's a person." The old man took out a cigarette, lit it, and started smoking. "Hmm, he came here too. I think he applied for the position of admiral. I wonder how it's going now?"
"What does it look like?"
"She's about your height, frail and weak, afraid of everyone, as if the people around her could eat her alive."
"..." The little girl thought for a moment, then bowed to the old man, "Thank you, sir, I understand."
"Hey guys, let me tell you, this young lady has had a tough time. She came all by herself to be your admiral, so please don't beat her up like you used to and send her to the hospital... And also..."
"No, she's our admiral's sister."
"That little girl is quite shy, so don't scare her. If you don't like her, just politely tell her to leave... Ah? Your admiral's sister?" The old man was so surprised that he dropped his cigarette butt.
“Yes, we’re all waiting for her,” the girl said with a smile.
"Oh, oh, that's good, that's good." The old man smiled as if he had heard something very happy, his eyes almost disappearing from his wrinkles. "Hey, little sister, right? Looks like you're your new admiral. Alright, I guess I was just being presumptuous."
"Haha, no, sir, you're very kind." The girl laughed.
"really?"
"Yeah, no problem, bro." The little girl gave a thumbs up and said in a quirky way.
Her voice was so tender and straightforward, it was incredibly cute.
"Alright, alright, this is much better, I'm done here." The old man picked up his half-smoked cigarette butt. "I haven't asked the young lady what her name is yet."
"Me? Well, my original name was Liuling II Water Scar, Kokang," the little girl said, revealing a sunny smile. "Now you can call me Changchun."
"Okay, good name." The old man seemed to have a very good impression of Changchun as well, nodding with a smile before putting both hands on the steering wheel. "AE86, let's go!"
The windows of the blue sedan were rolled up, and then the engine roared to life. The taxi disappeared in a flash, disappearing into the distance in a flash.
After watching the taxi disappear into the horizon, Changchun turned around and walked into the garrison headquarters.
"La la la la la~" Changchun hummed a wonderful song and skipped and hopped toward the place in his memory.
The destroyer battle base is very popular within the destroyer community, and Fubuki, as the base's owner, welcomes all destroyers. Many small events are also held in that warehouse.
"Will anyone still recognize me? Little Changchun has changed completely!" With a strange sense of excitement, Changchun unconsciously chuckled to himself, "Little Changchun has changed a lot, hehehe~"
Before its refit, Changchun was a destroyer named Kokang, a member of the destroyer combat base. However, it recently underwent ship equipment refit at headquarters and became a glorious communist missile destroyer.
Having abandoned its torpedo-strike capability and equipped itself with the culmination of new technologies, the Changchun, equipped with socialist missiles, can no longer be classified as a simple destroyer.
The Changchun's extremely long range and high accuracy mean that its combat tactics are no longer suited to the traditional destroyer approach of direct gunfire and close-range torpedo engagements.
Instead, they would fire upon meeting, much like battleships do, to show goodwill.
That's right. Since ship equipment is another form of the ship girl, this level of ship equipment change will greatly change Changchun's temperament and appearance. Simply put, it means that Changchun will be completely different from before.
However, a missile destroyer is still just a destroyer, and it can't change the fact that it's like a primary school student whose little head is full of play.
The first thing to do upon returning to the naval base was naturally to find my destroyer companions.
Soon they saw the familiar warehouse, the place the destroyer called the combat base.
Changchun's lips couldn't help but curve into a smile, and she dashed inside.
By the way, the Changchun's speed after the modification is also top-notch among destroyers.
"Hey! Kokang's back!" Changchun waved and greeted the people in the warehouse without looking closely.
In the empty warehouse, sat a reserved-looking man.
She was holding a steaming teacup, seemingly just about to drink, when Changchun suddenly interrupted her, leaving her looking at him somewhat flustered.
"Ah, ah, may I ask who you are...?" The person holding the teacup didn't know how to react for a moment.
"Eh? Is this a new destroyer?" Changchun was so familiar with the layout of the warehouse that it felt like his own home. He casually picked up a cushion and sat down in front of the tea-serving girl. "Hello."
"Oh, hello, hello." The tea-serving girl nodded like a hamster. "I am..."
"Wait... let me guess." Changchun suddenly became playful and interrupted the girl, "Hmm... are you Fletcher?"
"Huh? No... I..."
"Oh right, I forgot that Fletcher usually has a very large chest."
QAQ…
"So, are you Z1?"
"no……"
"Um...then...O'Bannon?"
"no……"
"Somarez?"
"no……"
"Hmm..." Changchun frowned, pondered for a moment, "Could it be... you're not a destroyer?"
"Yes, that's me..."
"Are you the new light cruiser lady?" Changchun asked. "Wait, are you a very rare light cruiser? I've never seen you before... Could you show me your ship equipment?"
"I didn't... I didn't... I'm sorry..." The teacup girl covered her face with her small teacup in despair.
"Well, never mind." Changchun seemed to sense that the girl in front of her was shy, so she didn't press her further. Instead, she gave her a bright smile. "Are you having tea?"
"……kindness."
