Elder brother's garrison

“No, no, that’s perfectly reasonable.” Ella nodded, then lowered her head with some regret and said, “Since Xiaobai doesn’t like it, let’s put aside things like managing the villa for now. If you need anything, just call me and I’ll get someone else to do it for you.”

"Thank you, Ella." Little White gave Ella a relieved smile.

Chapter 3454 Hancock is having an eye-opening experience

Xiao Bai managed to get Ella to agree to the condition that no one else be allowed to enter the ocean view room in the future.

So what she needs to do next is the most basic modification to the teleportation room.

Xiao Bai strolled around the sea-view villa, checking out all the rooms, big and small. Ella, like a little white cat, followed behind her with her hands behind her back and light steps. Whenever Xiao Bai turned around to look at Ella, Ella would always keep a few steps away from Xiao Bai, maintaining the posture of her hands behind her back, and showing Xiao Bai a happy smile like a young girl in love.

"……"noob.

With Ella following her so closely, there was no way Xiaobai could hide the room modifications he made to the ocean view room from her...

Looking at the smiling Ella, Xiaobai couldn't help but feel a little worried.

So... should I still tell Isla about the teleportation room and the Super Yamato?

Ella and I seem to have a pretty good relationship. In some ways, I've known her even longer than Nia. So, it doesn't seem like it's wrong for me to tell Ella the secrets I can tell Nia...

And then again...

Sooner or later, I'll have to hand over this ocean-view apartment to Ella to manage.

If Ella could know, understand, and support these little secrets of hers, it would be convenient for her.

Seeing Ella's smile, Xiaobai's heart fluttered.

Little White opened its mouth towards Ella.

“Ella…”

"What's the matter."

"Uh...no, no..."

Xiao Bai closed his mouth, raised his hand to cover his eyes, and shook his head to the side.

After much deliberation, Xiaobai decided to temporarily abandon her previous idea.

Ella... is actually special compared to her other friends who know her secret.

For example, Nia and Luo Lian, the former is just an ordinary top ten admiral, and the latter is a close sister he has known for a long time. Even if they know the secret, Xiaobai will not feel any trouble or risk. But Ella is different. Her identity is different from the previous two. She is really too special - she is the heir of a great family that has mastered rune knowledge. She is the only successor of the younger generation of this family. She is a "princess" with a noble status and a life of luxury.

Moreover, Ella seems innocent and naive, but she can't keep secrets. It's likely that secrets will be hard for her to keep hidden.

What she knows is most likely also known to her family...

If he wanted to tell Isla the secret of the teleportation room, he would have to explain to her the identity of Super Yamato as the Deep Sea Director. However, Super Yamato was also the enemy who once tried to attack Isla's family, hoping to destroy the land. The TV series said that large families would not allow any threatening factors to exist. Who knows how Isla's family would react after she found out about this...

Thinking about this, Xiaobai's face began to turn very depressed.

No.

I can't let Ella know about this yet...

Xiao Bai stood at the door of the storage room, sorting out her thoughts.

"...Ella".

"Ok?"

"Speaking of which, what do you usually do at home?" Xiaobai asked Ella.

"Me?" Ella seemed quite surprised that Xiaobai would bring up her question, so she raised her finger to her lips and glanced at the ceiling to the side. "Well—when I'm at home, I'm probably always in school."

"Didn't you already graduate from the Naval Academy? You were still an admiral back in Corola Island."

“Learning is endless.” Ella shrugged and smiled at Little White. “As for the vacancy on Colorado Island, it was given to someone else after the kidnapping incident last time… And when I said I was going to school, I meant the rune knowledge at home. I haven’t even memorized half a rune knowledge dictionary yet. Grandpa says I’m still far from being a good fit on this path.”

"Oh, right..."

"But as soon as my grandpa heard you were coming, he immediately gave me a day off, saying that as long as I could take care of you comfortably, I wouldn't have to go to school until you left!" Ella said, leaning slightly closer, and the topic returned to Xiaobai. Her eyes were sparkling, and she didn't want to take her eyes off Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai looked at Ella and smiled slightly at her.

So... what Ella meant when she said that as long as he stayed in this nameless little town, she would always stay by his side...?

Ok.

It seems that building a teleportation room isn't so easy...

Since things had come to this, I could only try to lure her away.

"Ella, speaking of which, it's been a while since I visited your grandfather," Xiaobai said to Ella. "Shall we go to your grandfather's place later and say hello to him?"

"Hey! Sure, sure!" Ella's face lit up with joy when she heard Xiaobai's words, and she immediately nodded.

"Let's go now," Xiaobai said with a smile.

"Yay!" Ella said, skipping and hopping as she looked out the window of the ocean view room. "It's so nice, Xiaobai, the ocean seems to have become clearer since you came."

Xiao Bai watched Ella walk to the window of the sea-view room, then turned back to look behind her.

In the lobby of the ocean-view room, the ship girls, including Super Yamato, Changchun, and Vesta, were looking at Xiaobai.

"Super Yamato, Changchun, is it alright to leave this place to you?" Xiaobai asked Changchun and Super Yamato.

Changchun and Chaoda have now reached a level of tacit understanding.

Xiao Bai exchanged a glance with them, and they immediately understood what Xiao Bai meant.

"Yes! Admiral, you can rest assured and leave it to me!" Changchun nodded with a smile, hooking one slender arm around her and patting her other hand on her arm. "Chao Da, my sister, and I will keep the house spotless!"

Chao Yamato, who was standing to the side, nodded quickly and breathed a sigh of relief.

Super Big and I didn't really want to go to Ella's family base in the first place, so it was actually a good thing for Super Big and me that Xiao Bai was able to leave her at the sea view house.

"Then, Vesta, Hancock, you two come with me," Xiaobai said to the remaining two ship girls.

"Oh! Sure." The goddess of the hearth caught up in a few quick steps. "I've been wanting to see how the base is doing lately."

"The base?" Hancock still looked confused.

"Hancock, you've only just arrived here, so there must be a lot you don't understand. No worries, I'll take you around, and you'll understand everything when we get back," Xiaobai smiled at Hancock.

Xiaobai and the two ship girls arrived beside Ella.

Ella turned to look at Xiaobai and the other two, and then curiously glanced at Changchun and Chaoda, who were preparing to stay in the sea-view room.

"Xiaobai, if you want to tidy up your room, I can call someone over for you. Since you're here all the time, why not come together?"

"It's alright, it's alright. Changchun and Chaoda have been traveling a long way and must be tired. Let them rest a bit." Xiaobai said with a smile, reaching out to take Ella's hand. "Let's go quickly."

"Hey! Hey!"

Ella wanted to say something more, but when she saw Xiaobai nimbly take her hand, she immediately blushed with happiness and forgot to continue trying to persuade the two ship girls who stayed behind.

Xiao Bai and his two companions left the sea-view room with Ella.

Changchun and Chaoda remained in the sea-view room, waving goodbye to the four.

……

Xiaobai and Ella went out for the whole day.

It wasn't until nightfall, when the moon was bright and the stars were few, that Xiaobai and the others returned to their sea-view room along the path.

"Wuhu, I've really been treated to a great meal!" The female Kitchen Goddess was the first to push open the door, carrying a large pile of gifts with a smug look on her face, her breath still carrying a faint scent of alcohol. "This place is quite nice. The old man is about the same as I remember, except he's a bit older than before. I'd like to come and visit more often when I have time!"

"Goddess of the Kitchen, get some rest. You've had quite a bit to drink." Xiao Bai entered from behind and smiled helplessly at the Goddess of the Kitchen.

"Don't worry, Admiral, I'm an adult ship girl, I can drink as much alcohol as I want!!" Vestal responded, but still stuffed all the gifts into her ship equipment space, then staggered to the sofa in the hall and pounced on it.

"Little Bai, I'm so sorry, but my grandpa kept talking to you about rune scripts at the dinner table." Ella walked up behind Little Bai and said apologetically, "He's been talking to you about it all day, even taking you on a tour of the rune factory and having you demonstrate your superb rune skills to the top employees. We finally got a break, but he wouldn't even let you rest during dinner..."

After a day of reheating, Ella and Xiaobai's actions were noticeably more affectionate than in the morning.

When Ella said those words, she even naturally leaned on Xiaobai's shoulder, put her arm around Xiaobai's arm, and shifted her body weight towards her.

"Grandpa still cares about this big family..." Xiaobai murmured softly. She didn't mind the matter much. As soon as she returned to the sea view room, she looked for Changchun and Chao Yamato. "Changchun, Chao Yamato, are you there?"

Footsteps echoed in the hall.

Changchun and Chaoda, wearing slippers, peeked out and smiled, giving Xiaobai a thumbs-up as a greeting.

"Admiral, you're back!"

"The room is all ready!"

Xiao Bai exchanged glances with the two married ships and nodded in satisfaction.

Hancock was the last to enter the ocean view room.

Hancock remained silent, head bowed, as she walked into the brightly lit ocean-view room, her expression conflicted and complex.

Rune Factory, a mysterious family, an essential component for ship girl construction machines...

Artificial cities, large-scale bases, deep-sea raw materials...

After a full day of visits, Hancock admitted that his previous limited knowledge and understanding of ship girls were being rapidly expanded.

Chapter 3455 Little White is Popular Everywhere

Hancock's understanding of the world she now inhabits has improved significantly.

At the same time, Hancock finally understood why this place, despite its excellent scenery and climate, was just an unknown little town, and why even air routes deliberately avoided it...

Hancock looked at Little White in front of him with complicated eyes, and at Ella, who was affectionately holding Little White's arm.

Hancock stared at Ella's fair body and face, his brows furrowing deeply.

This girl, who acts like a sweet, obedient, innocent bird in front of the admiral... is actually a princess, a noblewoman of royal rank... and it's said that the admiral once saved her during a kidnapping.

It's so frustrating in every sense of the word.

Since joining the newbie naval base, the information I've received has been piling up on me like a truckload of stuff: the world's number one naval base, a naval base with a tamable Abyssal Dean, an admiral with ship equipment, teleportation over long distances, a person falling in love with the Abyssal Dean, rune fonts, rune factories, rune families, and so on...

This makes me feel like a country bumpkin who's just arrived in the city.

Hancock sighed, looking down. She felt her nerves were starting to go numb, and she thought she should take some time to sleep and process the information in her head.

"Xiaobai, can I spend the night with you tonight?" Ella tugged at Xiaobai's clothes and asked him hopefully.

"Ah... sure." Xiaobai nodded.

"Thank you, Xiaobai! Xiaobai is so kind!" Ella exclaimed and happily hugged Xiaobai.

"Admiral, did you guys have fun today?" Changchun and Chao Yahe walked up to Xiaobai, looking at Xiaobai and Ella who was sticking to Xiaobai with a bunch of hearts on her body, and asked with a smile.

"Whether I had fun or not is another matter, but it was definitely fulfilling." Xiaobai smiled wryly, a hint of emotion in his voice. "Apart from being dragged around by Ella's grandfather who spent the whole day trying to sell me on the rune font job, everything else was fine..."

“After all, he’s an admiral, so it’s normal for him to be popular,” Changchun said.

"Have you eaten?" Xiaobai asked.

"No."

“That’s perfect. I asked the Goddess of the Hearth to pack some food for me. Ella’s food is delicious.” Xiaobai said, calling to the Goddess of the Hearth who was lying on the living room sofa, “Goddess of the Hearth, bring out the takeout.”

The female kitchen goddess, her buttocks sticking out of the sofa, heard Xiaobai's call and, still smelling of alcohol, groggily got up. She then opened her ship-equipped space and pulled out a huge pile of neatly packaged takeout food. Then, under the influence of gravity, she slammed back onto the sofa with a thud and quickly fell fast asleep, snoring away.

"The goddess of the hearth drank quite a bit of alcohol and refused to use her ship's power to sober up, so please understand." Xiaobai walked to the sofa, picked up the takeout food that had been thrown on the ground, and gave Changchun a wry smile.

"Admiral...you shouldn't have been drinking, right?" Changchun covered his mouth, looking at Xiaobai with some concern, and then at Ella, who was radiating hearts all over her body.

"Huh? No, why do you ask?"

"Oh...that's good." Changchun patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

“But… Changchun, you mentioned alcohol… I’ve indeed reached the age where I can drink.” Xiaobai, carrying the food, approached the ship girls and murmured softly, “How about trying some beer…”

"Hey! Admiral, no, no, no!" Changchun frantically waved her hands, quickly taking the food from Xiaobai's hands. "Wine is poison that burns through the intestines, you shouldn't drink it, you shouldn't drink it..."

"It feels a bit strange for you to say this to me, Changchun," Xiaobai said with a smile, looking at Changchun with empty hands.

"..." Changchun could only smile wryly at this.

Xiaobai, who's had a few drinks... Changchun can only say that now, only those who know can truly understand.

In her naive and ignorant days, the admiral possessed the power to almost instantly defeat any ship girl after drinking. Now, the admiral understands more and more, and her abilities and skills in various senses have become more and more mature. The way she is drunk now is like a beast that has been unleashed, which is truly terrifying...

Moreover, even though the admiral has an exceptionally good memory when she's not drinking, she always completely forgets everything she did and experienced the night before the day after she drinks...

This is the most infuriating thing.

So, Admiral, it's best to avoid getting drunk if possible.
