“But this is a gift from you, so safety comes first,” Montana said with a smile, taking another bite and revealing a satisfied smile. “It has a…taste of friendship.”

Chapter 2986 The Cook

Little White's lovingly prepared lunch, after going through many twists and turns, still ended up in Montana's mouth.

Little White squatted on the ground, watching Montana eat a sandwich and smile at him, and he also showed a helpless smile.

“Montana, you don’t seem to be wary of me at all.”

"Is such that."

"Like the other admirals in Chapter 8, I want to get you back to the naval base. Theoretically speaking, if others do something to you, I might do the same to you."

"You are different from other people."

"What's the difference?"

“Anyone who tries to play dirty tricks on me is someone who can’t defeat me head-on.” Montana swallowed her sandwich and smiled at Xiaobai. “But you’re different. You’re stronger than any ship girl I’ve ever seen. You can defeat me head-on, so you don’t need to resort to those despicable methods.”

"Ah...that's true."

After listening to Montana's explanation, Xiaobai felt that what she said made a lot of sense, so she nodded and put the postcard in her hand back into the pile of gifts in front of her.

"Have you seen all these postcards?" Xiaobai asked Montana, hugging his knees and turning his head.

"I've seen them all."

Montana ate the sandwich in a few bites.

While replying to Xiaobai, she picked up Xiaobai's basket, rummaged through it for a while, and grabbed a jam cookie.

Montana skillfully tore open the outer packaging, popped the jam biscuit into her mouth, and chewed it with a smile.

“Hawaiian flavor,” Montana said to Little White.

What does Hawaiian flavor taste like?

"It tastes like pineapple."

"Oh..." Xiaobai blinked, "So... after reading the contents of these postcards, how do you feel?"

"Any thoughts after watching?"

"Ah."

"Hmm—my feeling is that they're a really warm-hearted group of people." Montana tore open a chocolate wrapper, broke off a piece, popped it into his mouth, and said to Little White, "Some of the things they said were quite tempting; even I was tempted."

"Huh? Like what?"

“For example, some people say that since I crave powerful opponents, joining the world’s number one naval base is definitely not a good option,” Montana said, biting into a piece of chocolate.

"...Why isn't the world's number one naval base a good option?" Xiaobai pouted.

“Because the world’s number one naval base is very strong. If I join such a powerful naval base, wouldn’t I never find an opponent?” Montana said. “In comparison, joining a naval base that is not very strong but has great potential, and enjoying the hardship and joy of defeating opponents all the way to finally win the title of world number one, would be much more interesting to me.”

"……"noob.

“A very tempting option, isn’t it? It’s a pity I can’t do that.” Montana smiled at Little White, but still spoke frankly.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"In the end, I'm still a ship girl salvager." Montana looked at her hands and said slowly, "Which naval base I join and which ship girl I eventually become has nothing to do with my own will. This is my mission and duty as a ship girl salvager in this era, and I cannot go against it from the bottom of my heart. So even if these admirals try their best to please me, it will not change the fact that I will eventually join the strongest naval base."

"So this is something that cannot be defied?"

“Yes.” Montana smiled at Little White. “It’s a kind of inexplicable feeling, um… but it’s probably something that’s hard for you to understand.”

“A feeling from the depths of my being…” Xiaobai murmured Montana’s words. She looked up and thought for a while, then said to Montana, “It’s like… birds know how to flap their wings and fly, fish know how to wag their tails and swim, and humans know how to walk. It’s a feeling that’s etched into the depths of our souls?”

“…That’s quite unexpected.” Montana looked at Little White in surprise. “Your description of that thing was quite evocative.”

"Ah...a friend of mine said the same thing."

Xiao Bai scratched his head and gave Montana an embarrassed smile.

"It seems your friend is one of the three special ship girls," Montana said to Xiaobai. "Is she a construction ship girl? Or a research ship girl?"

"It's about building ship girls."

"interesting."

"How about I introduce her to you sometime?"

“She shouldn’t be able to attack me right now, right?” Montana thought for a moment and said to Little White, “In that case, I’ll wait until I have a naval base to belong to before I meet with her.”

"what happened?"

"To see someone so powerful, yet not be able to fight them head-on—isn't that the most agonizing thing in the world?" Montana said with a laugh.

"If you really fight with her, you'll definitely be disappointed regardless of whether you win or lose."

"It seems her abilities are quite special?" Montana asked, his eyes burning with interest.

"It cannot be said, it cannot be said." Xiao Bai held up a finger to her mouth.

Montana couldn't help but smile as he looked at the serious-looking Xiaobai.

Xiaobai and Montana tacitly stopped talking about building ship girls. The two squatted on the ground and chatted about some trivial things that had nothing to do with the battle.

The sea in Chapter 2987 is rarely calm.

The sea breeze whistled and blew.

The waves carried the yacht, bobbing up and down between the crests.

Xiao Bai took out his phone, checked the time, patted his leg, and got up.

"Montana, it's getting late, I should go back," Little White said to Montana.

“Yes.” Montana nodded with a smile.

"Give me the basket." Little White waved to Montana.

"Here you go." Montana handed the basket to Little White.

Xiaobai caught the basket and found it to be as light as a feather. She lifted the curtain on the basket and found it was empty.

"You ate it all?" Xiaobai asked.

“We ate it all without even realizing it,” Montana said.

"Didn't you say the taste was just average?"

“I also said it has a flavor of friendship,” Montana said with his eyes closed. “So even if the flavor is just average, I still like it.”

"..."

Xiao Bai stuffed the basket back into the ship's equipment space and gave Montana a silent smile.

Montana, will you stay here indefinitely?

“Since these people are so welcoming, I have no reason to go back now,” Montana said. “So I’ll stay here a little longer.”

"Then I need to hurry up and repair the ship's equipment."

"I'll wait for you." Montana looked at Little White, his eyes filled with anticipation. "Will you come again tomorrow night?"

"You still want a sandwich?"

“If possible, I hope that basket can hold something even tastier next time,” Montana said. “I would be very grateful.”

"I will think about it."

“Pachina,” Montana smiled at Little White, “I’ll be looking forward to tomorrow night.”

The moonlight tonight is exceptionally beautiful.

Little White bid farewell to Montana, left the 8-2 area, and returned to the temporary naval base.

……

The next morning, the sunlight streaming through the window was exceptionally bright.

Xiao Bai sat at her desk, cupping her face in her hands, gazing at the sun in the sky, deep in thought.

"Admiral, even if you have the constitution of a ship girl, it will still be uncomfortable to stare at the sun for a long time."

Missouri's voice came from behind Xiaobai, and then a figure leaned against Xiaobai's back.

Xiao Bai then looked away and turned to look behind her.

Missouri, who had just gotten up, was wearing only a simple white shirt draped over her shoulders. She came up behind Xiaobai, rubbing her eyes and yawning. As she moved, the white fabric at her chest rose up, and the sunlight shone on her snow-white skin, revealing a particularly eye-catching and shapely curve.

"Missouri, you're awake."

"Hmm." Missouri yawned, lowered her hand, and gave Xiaobai a sweet smile. "Admiral, you got up very early today. Are you thinking about something?"

"It's nothing too important... it's just... um." After thinking for a moment, Xiaobai asked Missouri, "Missouri, you know about Montana, right?"

“Senior Montana?” Missouri nodded, glancing out the window and pulling her shirt up to cover her exposed skin. “Last night, Missouri already heard from the Admiral that he came back so late to chat with Senior Montana, right?”

“That’s right, that’s right.” Xiaobai nodded. “She said she wanted me to go see her tonight too.”

"It seems that Senior Montana has a very good impression of the Admiral."

"After all, I almost beat her."

Xiao Bai said smugly.

"The admiral's combat capabilities are truly reassuring."

Missouri smiled.

Missouri leaned over behind Xiaobai and glanced at the notes on the desk.

"I see. So... the Admiral was just thinking about what kind of food to bring tonight?"

"Well, Montana said she hoped I could bring some good food, but she didn't say what she likes to eat," Xiaobai said regretfully.

“In that case…” Missouri listened to Xiaobai’s words, rested her elbow on her hand and thought for a while, then smiled and said, “If the Admiral trusts Missouri, how about having Missouri prepare the food for Senior Montana?”

"Huh? Is that okay?!"

“After all, Missouri can’t help with the combat this time.” Missouri said with a smile. “Senior Montana is so powerful, Missouri can’t beat her, but Missouri is quite confident in her cooking skills. In addition, the Iowa-class and Montana-class are like sisters in a sense. Sister Iowa’s taste may be similar to Senior Montana’s, so she can help the Admiral.”

“Missouri, you’re saying that again.” Xiaobai said to Missouri, “You’re amazing too. You’re the world’s first missile battleship and the most advanced ship girl of our time.”

"Yes, Missouri is an advanced ship girl."

Missouri nodded and smiled in agreement with Xiaobai's words.

The sunlight shone on Missouri's cheeks, making her smile as radiant as a flower.

Chapter 2988 Xiaobai's Private Life

Missouri is widely recognized as the "culinary god" among newbie naval commanders.

When it comes to cooking skills, there are really few ship girls in the entire naval base who can rival her.

Therefore, Xiaobai felt extremely reassured about entrusting Montana's takeout to Missouri.

……

When Xiaobai finished dealing with the affairs of the temporary naval base and set off for the 8-2 sea area, the coastline once again returned to the spectacular scene of crowds of people that had appeared during the day yesterday.

A new round of challenges to salvage ship girls has begun in full swing.

The admirals on the beach were having a heated discussion about salvaging ship girls.

Xiao Bai returned to the location where the top ten admirals were yesterday and found the group of Admiral Hao Ding.

To Xiaobai's surprise, among the top ten admirals at this time, there were only three: Admiral Haoding, Admiral Nanxing, and Admiral Ling.

"Admiral Haoding, Sister Nanxing, Sister Ling, good morning!" Xiaobai came to the group and greeted them.

"Oh! Good morning, Admiral Lu Lin!"

Admiral Haoding greeted everyone with great enthusiasm and burst into laughter.

Nanxing silently came to Xiaobai's side.

Admiral Ling, on the other hand, kept gazing at the sea.

"There seem to be fewer people today... Where did Sister Duan and Sister Lian go?"

"Admiral Duan Shuiliu?" Admiral Haoding shook his head. "Unfortunately, Admiral Duan seems to be very busy today. She sent us a message on social media this morning asking for leave, and we haven't seen her since."

"Could they have run into some kind of trouble...?"
