Elder brother's garrison

“Admiral, I like lively places,” 1913 said, raising her relaxed gaze to look around at the ship girls. “I suggested going outside to see the world earlier, but I didn’t want to trouble the people around me. If possible, I would prefer that everyone here come with me.”

“Oh my, Senior Thirteen, I never imagined we held such a high place in your heart,” Missouri said with a smile, cupping one cheek in her hands.

“I stepped out of the construction device… or rather, when I realized I had stepped out of the construction device, I broke through the clouds and my mind cleared. The first thing I saw was you all.” 1913 smiled at everyone. “Even fledglings recognize their nests. Miss Illinois and I were born on the same day, which is a special connection. Therefore, you are all like family to me. Of course, it is very heartwarming for family members to accompany each other.”

“In that case, Missouri has no choice but to go along,” Missouri said with a smile.

“Missouri, are you really going to abandon your sister?” Iowa sighed, looking somewhat sad.

“Sister, don’t be sad. You can come with me,” Missouri said to Iowa.

“But work…” Iowa turned her head and said regretfully.

"Today's work is finished, so it's not difficult to free up some time."

"Is that so?" Iowa turned her head and looked at Xiaobai with a rather innocent expression.

“…Everyone go, everyone go, everyone in this room go.” Xiaobai scratched his cheek and said to everyone, “And while you’re at it, could you please call Wisconsin in too…”

"Ah, thank you, Admiral."

The Iowa-class ship girls exchanged smiles.

A very natural entry point, a very natural flow of events.

Before Xiaobai could react, Missouri and Iowa had already joined Xiaobai's group with their family.

……

ten minutes later.

The Nanxing Garrison, a thousand miles away.

When Nanxing changed into new clothes, put down the mirror, combed her hair, and walked to the bedroom of the teleportation anchor point with the door tightly closed, she gently pulled open the door. With a creak, white light flowed out of the room, followed by an unusually lively sound.

It was like a vegetable market had arrived.

The warm air, filled with the sounds of birdsong and the fragrance of flowers, wafted towards us.

"Good morning, Sister Nanxing."

Good morning, Senior Nanxing.

"Sister Nanxing, it's been a long time! How have you been?"

"Admiral Nanxing, yo!"

"Admiral Nanxing, it's a pleasure to meet you..."

"Sister Nanxing, I'm sorry to bother you..."

"Admiral Nanxing..."

"..."

"..."

As Xiaobai was pushed out of the room by several slender, fair arms, figures emerged from the crowded room, almost clinging to her body.

The ship girls greeted Nanxing, who was standing there in a daze, with optimistic smiles on their faces.

From the cramped room, four Iowa-class ship girls—Changchun, Anshan, and Jinan—along with two unfamiliar ship girls, and a weary Yamato leaning against the wall, emerged together. Their arrival seemed to bring liveliness and energy, transforming the previously desolate Nanxing Residence into a vibrant space. The ship girls' laughter and their movements brought a warm atmosphere to the room.

Nanxing seemed to be pondering the purpose of such a large group of people. She slowly lowered her head and looked at Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai scratched his head sheepishly and smiled at Nan Xing.

"Sister Nanxing, it's been so long..."

“Not long.” Nanxing shook her head and said slowly, “There were a lot of people who came this time.”

"Well, let me introduce you. This is 1913, and this is Illinois." Xiaobai reached out and took Illinois and 1913's hands, pulling them closer to Nanxing. Then she smiled and said, "They are ship girls that I built myself. Yes, I built them twice in a row, and both of them are capital ships. The time was yesterday morning, and the location was room 203 on the second floor of the temporary naval base office. The formulas I used were a general formula and a regular large ship formula."

Xiao Bai recited the names of the dishes to Nan Xing, almost as if he were going to write a 6,000-word novel about his own emotional journey and read it to Nan Xing.

Nanxing listened silently to Xiaobai's words. Seeing Xiaobai's inexplicably excited expression, she reached out and patted Xiaobai's head.

"Hmm," Nanxing said, "Very impressive."

"Hehe." Xiaobai immediately showed a satisfied smile.

Nanxing raised her gaze and looked at 1913 and Illinois.

The two ship girls immediately bowed slightly to her.

Before arriving at Nanxing's naval base, or rather, before last night, 1913 and Illinois had learned of Nanxing's existence from Changchun and Iowa-class ship girls, respectively.

They also vaguely sensed from the words of the married ship that the human female admiral named Nanxing seemed to have a relationship with their admiral that was not just that of colleagues.

Therefore, Illinois and 1913 still gave Nanxing a very important attitude.

"Hello," Nanxing said.

"Admiral Nanxing, hello." The two ship girls said in unison.

“They are very beautiful,” Nanxing said to Xiaobai, looking down at her.

"Is that so?" Xiaobai asked with a smile.

"Hmm...it's probably because you built them yourself," Nanxing said to Xiaobai. "Their appearance is the kind you usually like."

"……"noob.

Chapter 3673 Tea Party

Although Nanxing has a rich inner world, her outward personality is somewhat bland. Therefore, she is the type who never teases others or takes the initiative to joke with people.

That's why Nanxing's words were so devastating.

Nanxing felt that Xiaobai liked tall and voluptuous older women, and that was her genuine belief.

—In fact, it's not a problem that Nanxing would think that way.

After all, among Xiaobai's marriage ships, Super Yamato, Akagi, Missouri, and others are all ship girls who fit the characteristic of "beautiful older sister".

Xiao Bai never expected that she would blush so easily because of a casual remark she made as soon as she returned to Nanxing.

"Ahem..." Xiaobai coughed lightly, "Well, let's get back to business... Sister Nanxing, the reason I brought so many ship girls here this time is because 1913 wanted to come and see human society. Just when I was thinking about where to take her, you called me and I thought that your place is a famous big city, and all the conditions meet her needs. It's the most suitable place for her to come and travel, so I took the liberty of bringing them all here as well."

"Mm." Nanxing nodded.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you." Xiaobai scratched his head.

“…I won’t bother you.” Nanxing shook her head gently, put her hand on Xiaobai’s shoulder and said to Xiaobai, “I have a lot of unused dormitories in my garrison, and they are fully furnished. I plan to make some room for them. They can stay here for a long time.”

"Oh! Is that okay?"

"Ah."

"Thank you, Sister Nanxing, you're so kind!" Xiaobai opened her arms and rushed into Nanxing's embrace.

Nanxing let Xiaobai hug her tightly. She reached out and touched Xiaobai's head, then looked up at 1913 and Illinois with her innocent eyes.

The three of them looked at each other.

"Thank you, Admiral Nanxing."

In 1913, he and Illinois bowed together to express their gratitude to Nanxing.

“I have a very good relationship with your admiral.” Nanxing hesitated for a moment before speaking to 1913 and Illinois. “So, you can treat this place as your home. Don’t be shy.”

In 1913, Illinois and the city exchanged knowing smiles.

This time, Xiaobai brought quite a few ship girls, but Nanxing Naval Base is a well-known top ten naval base. Even if the facilities here are not as good as the newbie naval base, it is not a problem to provide a few unused dormitories for the ship girls to live in.

Nanxing didn't even need to go out to do anything herself. She took out her phone and sent a few text messages to the secretary ship. In just a few minutes, the matter was settled.

The secretary ship of Nanxing Naval Base quickly arrived at the door with a key chain and handed the keys, each with a different room number, to the ship girls present according to their needs for single or four-person rooms.

After taking care of this matter, Nanxing led everyone to the living room.

The ship girls took their seats on the sofa in the living room, and Nanxing took out snacks and drinks from the living room's floor cabinet.

"Miss Nanxing, thank you for your hospitality!"

The ship girls accepted Nanxing's gifts with both hands and expressed their gratitude.

"We haven't been very hospitable..." Nanxing said softly, holding the bare plate and looking at the ship girls who each had a drink in their hands.

Most of the ship girls present were quite familiar with Nanxing, and they knew each other well. The newcomers 1913 and Illinois didn't talk to Nanxing too much or put too much social pressure on her, so they didn't trigger Nanxing's social anxiety. Everything was fine.

Nanxing distributed drinks, but only the extra-large one was left.

Chao Dahe was leaning against the back of the sofa, resting and recovering his strength in the corner.

She didn't mind that Nanxing hadn't served her a drink yet. Chaoda and Nanxing were like best friends; they were completely honest with each other and had served Xiaobai's close friends together. It was just a drink, and Chaoda wouldn't feel neglected at all.

Nanxing walked up to Chao Yamato, reached behind her, took out a pre-packaged milk tea cup from her ship equipment space, and handed it to Chao Yamato.

“Yours,” Nanxing said to Chaoda.

"……Um?"

The child stared blankly at the milk tea cup that Nanxing handed over.

The milk tea cup contained a liquid that was somewhere between dark green and yellowish-brown. There were no labels on the cup, and foam could be seen rising from the edge of the liquid from time to time.

The giant cat looked at the milk tea cup, as if it had realized something.

She reached out and took the milk tea cup, then took the straw from Nanxing's hand. She then inserted the straw into the milk tea cup and took a big gulp.

"Ah...delicious." Chao Dahe leaned back on the sofa, let out a long sigh, and showed a comfortable expression of relief on his face.

This is fermented mung bean juice.

It's a favorite of Osaka and Ichiwa: chilled soy milk.

"Sister, what's that...?" Illinois, sitting nearby, looked at the oversized cup of milk tea in her hand with a hint of curiosity and asked Wisconsin in a low voice.

"Don't look, don't go, don't smell it." Wisconsin just shook her head quickly and pulled her back to her side. "The smell of that thing is still too early for you to understand, since you don't yet have a fixed understanding of human society."

"..." Illinois.

Chao Dahe placed the soy milk on his lap and spoke to Nanxing.

"This tastes really authentic. Are there any shops selling douzhi (fermented mung bean juice) in Shenzhen?"

"Not many are sold." Nanxing shook her head. "I bought some equipment and asked the ship girls at home to learn how to brew it. Now we can have chilled drinks every day."

"You like this too?" Super Big looked like he'd found a kindred spirit.

"No, I think you might like this one."

"Ah..." It was huge and a bit of a disappointment, but I still picked up the cup of soy milk and nodded my thanks. "I like this, thank you so much!"

Nanxing nodded and turned her gaze to Xiaobai and his group.

Xiao Bai quickly stood up and asked Nan Xing, "Sister Nan Xing, shouldn't we go to the hospital first?"

“It’s too early to go now.” Nanxing paused, thought for a moment, shook her head and said, “I asked my parents, and they said the situation there isn’t urgent. Let’s stay a little longer.”

"Oh..." Xiaobai nodded slowly.

Although Super Yamato's instant teleportation ability is very convenient, if Nanxing's parents frequently feel that Xiaobai can always arrive at the scene quickly after receiving a call, it will inevitably arouse their suspicions if the number of times increases.

Since the situation isn't urgent, it's safer to wait half a day or so before going.

"Miss Nanxing, this is a rare opportunity. Would you like to hear us talk about what happened in the recent Chapter 8?" The ship girls immediately asked Nanxing with smiles when they heard that they would be staying a little longer.

“The latest chapter eight…” Nanxing pulled out a cushion and sat down in front of the coffee table, facing the ship girls. “I’ve been looking at the forums lately, and it seems like a lot has happened there.”

"Yes, we encountered many interesting things, such as the mysterious submarine incident and the sudden appearance of the giant octopus, but all of these things were perfectly resolved thanks to the admiral's intervention," the ship girls said with a smile.

"Hmm." Nanxing nodded, straightened up, and addressed the crowd with wide eyes, "I want to hear."

"I knew Miss Nanxing would be interested in this!" The ship girls said with a smile, as if they had already guessed it. They started talking one after another, "Actually, this story starts from when the Admiral finished building the teleportation network. It was on that day that the Admiral..."

The ship girls began to tell Nanxing about the series of things that had recently happened to Xiaobai.

As someone who had personally experienced this event, Xiaobai watched the ship girls talking about it with such relish, and since it saved her from having to say anything, she pulled out a cushion and sat down next to Nanxing.

Listening to the ship girls tell stories is much more interesting than I imagined.

Because these ship girls have a different perspective than Xiaobai on a daily basis—some stay in the temporary naval base, some in the admiral's guild, some serve as Xiaobai's secretary ships, and some have heard recounts from ship girls who went out with Xiaobai at night—their perspectives on recent events are always unique and vivid. For example, when the ship girls in the temporary naval base went to the market to buy groceries and overheard the admirals discussing the mysterious submarine, the group's serious expressions resembled a scene from a horror novel. Another example is the night the sea monster appeared... On the first scene, a group of ship girls were jumping and skipping as they put on their clothes and rushed out of the naval base. The next day, when they were cleaning up the wreckage of the sea monster, a group of ship girls and the admiral were working themselves to the bone on the sea. Some ship girls from other naval bases tried to bite a tentacle that the sea monster had dropped, and ended up having diarrhea and lying in bed for three days and three nights. In addition to the main storyline, these scenes are often interspersed with some small details that are very characteristic of the ship girls. When the group is talking, they will encounter disagreements and start discussing from a certain side point. The content is so funny that it makes people laugh.

Nanxing listened quietly to everyone's stories, completely focused, like a perfect listener.

As everyone talked, time passed.
