Elder brother's garrison

But... it's strange.

Research records are the lifeblood of researchers. Logically speaking, no matter who damages their research records and puts them in the ship equipment research center, Yubari will be so angry that he will be irreconcilable with them and sever all ties. Even if it is the director of the research institute, or even if the Emperor himself comes, Yubari will not be able to forgive him.

But despite this situation, when Yubari, filled with anger, looked at Shiro, who had raised his hands in surrender and apologized to him...

Snapped!

It was like a needle puncturing a balloon.

Yubari's pent-up anger and resentment, for some unknown reason, suddenly dissipated.

Yubari can't even keep an angry expression on Shiro's face anymore.

Yubari pinched his thigh hard.

No way, Researcher Yubari, this is your lifeline! The suspect has been found, you should at least show some anger and do something about it!

But even though Yubari was pinching her thigh so hard she was wincing, she couldn't muster any anger towards Shiro.

In the end, Yubari had no choice but to give up.

"Sigh... Admiral, you really are... I really... you... sigh." Yubari sighed helplessly at the end. She looked at Shiro with complicated eyes and couldn't help but laugh bitterly, "Pfft... you really are... making me laugh to death."

Yubari got up, walked over to Shiro in a few steps, bent down and hugged Shiro, closed her eyes and let out a long sigh.

Xiao Bai looked embarrassed.

"Um, Yubari... I'm so sorry... I'll buy you a new set of equipment out of my own pocket..."

"Admiral, why are you channeling your mental energy into the modified ship's equipment?" Yubari asked.

"Ah... because doing this seems to strengthen the rune type, and it also seems to wake Missouri and Jean Bart up faster."

"I see, no wonder the acceptance period for Missouri and Jean Bart's ship equipment was so short." Yubari pushed Shiro's shoulder away and pouted at him. "Admiral, buying me equipment is a given! Considering that Jinan can provide ship girls for other missile modifications, it's not impossible to obtain missile modification data again. So let's put our matter aside for now. If you do this again next time, I'll really get angry!"

"Good good!"

Little White immediately nodded rapidly, like a hamster.

Yubari saw Shiro nod, then hummed in response. He then hugged Shiro again and, in front of everyone, put his mouth to Shiro's neck and bit it hard.

"Huh? Yubari... um..."

Xiaobai was startled, feeling a slight suction and stinging pain coming from the spot on her neck where Yubari had bitten her, and instinctively closed one eye.

A few seconds later, Yubari gave in.

A faint tooth mark appeared on Xiaobai's neck.

As the ship's power fluctuated, the tooth mark was quickly smoothed out and disappeared.

"Oops." Yubari grinned at Shiro, "I'll bite you to death, Admiral."

"..." Xiaobai touched his neck, smiling awkwardly, "Sorry..."

Yubari dusted himself off, calmed himself down, and looked behind Shiro, his gaze settling on Nansei.

"Huh? Isn't this Admiral Nansei?" Yubari exclaimed in surprise. "You're here too?"

"Hello, Dr. Yubari." Nanxing nodded slightly to Yubari and greeted him politely.

"Yubari? Nansei-neechan, do you two know each other?" Shiro touched her neck, looking at the two of them curiously.

“Yes, when I was at the Ship Equipment Research Center, I was in charge of a lot of ship girl modification tasks. Ever since I started working at the Ship Equipment Research Center, Admiral Nanxing’s ship girls have all been modified here.” Yubari said to Shiro. “Every time a ship girl is sent for modification, she comes with the ship girl, so we gradually became familiar with each other.”

“Oh…” Xiaobai blinked and looked at Nanxing.

Nanxing also spoke to Xiaobai.

"Dr. Yubari's skills are superb... and the conversation only stays on the topic of modification, which is reassuring..." Nanxing said, bowing slightly.

Ok.

Understood.

What Nanxing meant was that, besides her superior skills, Yubari was the only one in the entire ship equipment modification center who would not consider her status as one of the top ten admirals and would simply treat her as an admiral who brought her ship girl for modification. She would not develop any extra conversations or interactions with her because of her status, which made the already socially awkward and introverted Yubari feel much more at ease and reduced a lot of unnecessary words.

Chapter 3060 Many Things

For someone like Nansei, Yubari, a highly skilled researcher who only cares about work and doesn't consider other social behaviors, is the perfect person to entrust with their work.

Furthermore... Yubari is also one of the few ship girls who became a ship equipment research personnel.

Perhaps this is what resonated with Nanxing, who is a half-ship girl.

"This is the first time I've heard that Nanxing-neechan and Yubari know each other..." Xiaobai said to Yubari.

"Hmph, I know quite a few people, you know. I've been responsible for modifying the ship girls of the top ten admirals to varying degrees." Yubari said to Shiro with her hands on her hips, "Who in the entire ship girl modification industry doesn't know the name of Yubari?"

"Eh... all the ship girls of the top ten admirals have been modified..."

"Ah... to be precise, it's one of the top ten admirals, excluding the ninth admiral in the world."

"I see." Xiaobai nodded, then looked at Nanxing again, her gaze flickering.

Nanxing stood quietly beside the group, looking at them, her gaze sometimes falling on Xiaobai and Yubari, and sometimes on Richelieu and Jeanbart.

Seeing this, Xiaobai looked at his palm with a complicated expression.

To be honest... I still don't understand how my mental energy successfully infiltrated Nanxing's body.

Could it be... that I've become stronger again recently?

My mental power can now affect humans?

Thinking about this, Xiao Bai's gaze became somewhat blank, and he also felt a little uncomfortable...

If one's mental power can also have an effect on humans... then even a novice would clearly know that the effects of one's admiral network would be even less likely to spread.

I'm a little... scared.

Xiao Bai lowered his hand and suddenly sighed.

Hmm... After calming down, let's not tell Sister Nanxing about this for now...

Nanxing looked at Xiaobai and suddenly sighed, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Admiral, after Jean Bart's transformation is complete, are you going to take her to the training ground to test her combat abilities?" Richelieu asked Little White.

"Hmm? Oh... that's true." Little White snapped out of her thoughts and nodded to Richelieu.

"Sigh... Admiral, I want to slack off..." Barton pouted, looking distressed.

"When you're in the game, you can't just slack off whenever you want. The main thing about our line of work is that we're not in control of our own destiny." Xiao Bai smiled at Jean Bart. "Let's go to the training ground and show us your modification skills. Don't disappoint me."

"Sigh..." Jean Bart grumbled, but in the end, Richelieu pushed him out.

Only Shiro, Nansei, and Yubari remained in the modification workshop.

"Yubari, I remember you also need to collect combat data for the missile, right... Want to join me?" Shiro asked Yubari cautiously.

"Admiral, I give up..." Yubari sighed, pointing with her thumb to the smoke-filled sterile room. "Thanks to a certain little cutie, I still have to clean up the mess over there in the sterile room."

"I... I'll help you too..."

"Admiral, forget it... These instruments are like my precious daughters, only I know how to handle them."

"Uh..." Xiaobai said awkwardly, "I...I'll arrange for the new equipment for you as soon as possible..."

Yubari nodded noncommittally. She glanced at the two admirals in front of her, then waved to them before turning and running into the sterile room.

Shiro watched as Yubari's figure disappeared into the smoke of the sterile room.

Xiao Bai turned his head awkwardly and smiled at Nan Xing.

"Sister Nanxing, let's...go to the training ground..."

"I won't go." Nanxing shook her head.

"Huh?" Little White's eyes widened. "What's wrong?"

“…I suddenly remembered I have something to do and need to go home,” Nanxing said.

"Ah... I see..." Xiaobai said disappointedly, nodding regretfully, "Then, alright... Sister Nanxing, I'll take you."

"No need, I've been here many times and I know the way very well. I can go back by myself."

"That won't do, I..."

“You said you wanted me to make this place my home,” Nanxing said. “If we’re family, there’s no need to be so polite.”

"..." Xiaobai choked, scratched her head, nodded at Nanxing, and then smiled, "Well... then I'll go to the training ground first."

"Hmm." Nanxing raised her hand and waved at Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai left, turning back every few steps.

Nanxing stood in the empty modification workshop, blinking, watching with a calm expression as Xiaobai disappeared from her sight.

After Xiaobai disappeared.

Nanxing stood there for a few more minutes before finally taking a slow step and walking out of the workshop.

step.

Two steps.

Three... steps.

Nanxing staggered, but managed to steady himself.

"..."

Nanxing bent down, raised her arm, and touched her high, heaving chest.

Nanxing's originally snow-white cheeks were now covered with a blush.

Nanxing was covered in sweat, her eyes flashing with a dazzling light. She stared blankly at the floor tiles beneath her, large drops of sweat falling, shattering, and covering her, making her breath quicken.

Nanxing looked very uncomfortable.

She nearly fainted, but amidst her rapid breathing, she reached down to her neck and touched the cool pendant of the necklace hanging there. Her eyes, which had been sparkling, slowly dimmed and calmed down.

They rested in place for quite a while.

Nanxing wiped his forehead, barely managing to steady his expression, and slowly left with his head down.

……

Xiao Bai arrived at the training ground alone.

When Xiaobai arrived at the training ground, the ship girls from the newbie naval base had already surrounded Richelieu and Jean Bart, who had arrived earlier.

"Hey! Jean Bart, your modification is finished?"

"Jean Barthes... your transformation... um... I don't think your appearance has changed much..."

"So, is the missile modification a success?"

Wow...your hat has gotten even taller!

"..."

The ship girls chatted and laughed with Jean Bart, who stood in the center of the crowd, hands on his hips, smiling and letting everyone watch.

"That's right, it's been transformed!"

"Hehe, it's alright!"

"I'm a missile strategist now!"

"The hat's gotten bigger! And it's bigger here too!"

"..."

Amidst laughter and conversation, Xiaobai approached the ship girls.

Jean Bart saw Little White all alone and quickly waved to him.

"Hey! Admiral! You've finally arrived! Where are Admiral Nansei and Yubari?"

Everyone immediately turned their attention to Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai scratched his head and smiled slightly at everyone.

"Yubari is tidying up the workshop... As for Nanxing-neechan, she suddenly had something to do and went back," Xiaobai said.

"Oh...that's a pity." The ship girls said with some regret, but then their interest was piqued again. "Admiral! Do you think that after Jean Bart's successful retrofit, she'll become our naval base's second guided-missile ship girl!"
