Elder brother's garrison

Page 2678

"Admiral, you're here for work." Iowa stood up with a smile, giving Xiaobai a warm welcome.

Amidst Iowa's warm smiles, Xiaobai and his group approached her.

"Iowa... Good afternoon..." Xiaobai scratched his cheek and smiled shyly at Iowa, "You've come to the Admiral's Guild so early."

"After all, I am the nominal secretary ship of the Admiral's Guild. Even if the guild leader is on leave, I should still be at the workplace, right?" Iowa said to Xiaobai with a smile, her gaze turning to the ship girls beside Xiaobai. "Super Yamato, Montana, and Jean Bart, you're here too."

"Huh? How can you see me?" Jeanbart blinked and looked at Iowa.

"Why do you say that, Sister Jeanbart?"

"The Admiral just found out my physique has been enhanced. The ship girls who received the Admiral's mental power last time should all be immune to my abilities by now." Jean Bart looked at Iowa's face curiously. "Logically, only the Admiral's married ship should be able to see me at this critical moment... Iowa, what's going on..."

As everyone spoke, their gazes began to turn to Xiaobai.

Leaving aside the gaze of the super-powerful Yamato, Montana and Jean Bart's gazes as they looked at the little white rabbit immediately began to drift into a dreamy state.

"Cough cough..." Xiaobai coughed, her face flushed.

“Ah, I see.” Iowa spoke up at this moment, her expression still as composed and unchanged as ever. She smiled flawlessly and explained to Jean Bart and Montana, “You two have misunderstood. It’s because after I became the Admiral’s secretary ship, I often exchanged confidential information with the Admiral for work-related reasons. To facilitate the exchange of information, the Admiral has also transmitted his mental energy to me several times. That’s probably why I can still see Jean Bart.”

Iowa's explanation of the matter was so fluent that it didn't seem like she was lying at all. In addition, the expression on her face was exceptionally sincere and confident when she spoke, and her voice was as elegant and composed as ever. As a result, Jean Bart, who had just been doubting her relationship with Xiaobai, quickly dispelled his thoughts.

"Oh... I see." Jean Bart scratched his head and grinned at Iowa. "Sorry, I guess I was overthinking it."

"Hmm... But Sister Jeanbart, you just said your physique has improved, what do you mean?"

"Oh dear, well... it all started before..."

Jean Bart was quickly steered away from the conversation by Iowa, and began telling Iowa, who was all smiles, about his own experiences.

Iowa listened to Jean Bart's story with a smile, nodding from time to time with a broad smile on her face. But occasionally, when Jean Bart couldn't see her, she would glance at Xiaobai with a smile.

"……"noob.

At this moment, Xiaobai's gaze towards Iowa carried a hint of resentment.

Xiaobai originally thought this was a perfect opportunity for her to finally tell the ship girls at the naval base about her relationship with Iowa, thus officially recognizing Iowa as her "secret lover" and allowing her to openly wear a wedding ring in the future... But unfortunately, it seems that Iowa has no intention of officially recognizing her relationship for the time being.

Ugh……

Does Iowa really enjoy having secret relationships with me...?

Never mind...

After a slight sigh in her heart, Xiaobai chose to respect Iowa's idea and said nothing more.

After finishing his conversation with Jeanbart, Iowa turned his attention back to Xiaobai.

"Is the Admiral back to prepare to go back to work?" Iowa asked. "If so, Admiral, please wait a moment while I go and fetch today's work documents."

"Ah... about this... Iowa, don't do anything yet." Xiaobai scratched her cheek a little embarrassedly and said to Iowa, "I just came to check on the situation in the lobby and go to the office to organize some work documents. I have to leave later."

"Hmm? Does the Admiral have other plans?"

"Yes."

"Hmm, I see." Iohua looked into Xiaobai's eyes, thought for a moment, and seemed to understand something. She smiled at Xiaobai and said, "Then let's go to the office."

Iowa and Xiaobai and their group walked towards the office.

"Speaking of which, Iowa, why did you bring out a chair and sit in that spot?" As they walked, Xiaobai asked Iowa as if she had remembered something.

"Does the Admiral mean the tables and chairs from earlier?" Iowa nodded with a smile. "Since I don't have to work for the time being, I chose a place to rest."

"Hmm? Isn't it better to rest in the office?"

"Well... after all, I sometimes prefer a quieter environment."

"Huh? Quiet?" Xiaobai was taken aback. She stopped and looked at Iohua with curiosity.

My own office... isn't that peaceful enough?

Xiao Bai was suspicious.

Xiaobai's doubts were quickly answered. Just as she and the ship girls returned to the vicinity of the office, before she even saw the office door, she saw a circle of familiar figures outside the office.

Wisconsin was wearing a hula hoop and was swinging her hips vigorously at the office door. The colorful hula hoop spun rapidly around Wisconsin like a top as she moved.

"How about it, Missouri? Today I'm going to challenge myself to spin 20,000 hula hoops in a row!"

Wisconsin turned around and excitedly spoke to Missouri in front of her.

“Missouri will cheer you on.” Missouri smiled, holding a counter. She sat on a bench outside her office, and New Jersey was dozing off with his head on her lap.

"One thousand one hundred and one, one thousand one hundred and two, one thousand one hundred and three... How about that! I can keep spinning!" Wisconsin got more and more excited as she spun, even raising her arms high and striking a rather exaggerated pose, vigorously shaking the hula hoop. "Illinois, look, Illinois! You should try spinning too, it's super fun!"

Directly across from Wisconsin, Illinois was arm in arm, looking down at the hula hoop hanging from her arm.

"Wisconsin, logically speaking, hula hoops should be a human-made exercise tool primarily used by women to help them reduce belly fat and improve their figure," Illinois asked Wisconsin. "But we're ship girls, does this kind of exercise tool really mean anything to us?"

“Of course! It’s all about challenging yourself!” Wisconsin lectured Illinois while spinning a hula hoop. “Exercise itself is meaningful!”

“Oh…I see.” Illinois seemed to understand something, and she raised the hula hoop in her hand, looking thoughtful.

"Don't just watch, try spinning it with me! It's okay if you can't do many at first. The point of exercise is to participate. It's normal for beginners not to do it. If you really can't, you can learn from me and watch me perform—" Wisconsin said enthusiastically and proudly. She was just about to explain a few hula hoop techniques to Illinois when she saw Illinois gently pick up the hula hoop and start spinning it on her arm.

The hula hoop on her arm spun around and around, then suddenly broke free from Illinois's control and flew off her arm.

Illinois instinctively turned to the side.

Then the hula hoop spun upwards, climbing all the way up to Illinois's body, and after a few bounces, it landed precisely on Illinois's chest... or rather, hung on Illinois's chest.

Finally, the hula hoop kept spinning on Illinois's chest.

Chapter 3765 Training in 1913

The hula hoop spun rapidly around Illinois' chest several times, then Illinois gently reached out and caught the spinning hula hoop between her arms.

The hula hoop finally stopped, leaving Illinois's upper body clothes somewhat disheveled.

Illinois took the hula hoop off her chest, lowered her head and gently rubbed her chest. After a moment of silence, she spoke.

"...This is even harder to control than I imagined. Wisconsin, how did you manage to keep it obediently on your waist?"

Illinois looked up and asked, but she saw Wisconsin stop with a dark expression. Her hula hoop lost its power and fell to the ground.

"Wisconsin?" Illinois asked.

"...This isn't fun, I'm not playing anymore." Wisconsin angrily picked up the hula hoop and threw it aside.

Wisconsin's hula hoop flew through the air and then landed on the other side of the office, on Anshan, who was having a lively conversation with Changchun.

A hula hoop descended from the sky and gently landed on Anshan's shoulder. Anshan raised his eyebrows, lifted his arm, and glanced at the hula hoop on his body.

"Huh? This is..."

Anshan looked left and right, but couldn't see the direction from which the hula hoop came. Instead, he saw Xiaobai walking towards them with the ship girls.

"Comrade!"

Anshan's eyes lit up, and she called out to Xiaobai.

As Anshan called out, the ship girls gathered in front of Xiaobai's office all looked up and looked in Xiaobai's direction.

Xiaobai arrived at the office door with her ship girls and waved to them.

"It's so lively here... Changchun, Anshan, Missouri, Wisconsin, Illinois, hello everyone!" Xiaobai said with a smile, "You're all here."

"Admiral, you're back!" The ship girls stood up and greeted Xiaobai with smiles.

"Yes... I'm sorry, it's a day later than I said before." Xiaobai said to the ship girls, smiling shyly.

The ship girls present were mostly those who had gone on vacation to Shenzhen with Shiro before.

When they parted, Xiaobai remembered telling the ship girls to go ahead and that she would follow soon... But she didn't expect that Nanxing would be so reluctant and enthusiastic when the ship girls left, so Xiaobai had to stay with Nanxing for an extra night and a day.

In a sense, Xiaobai was a little embarrassed.

"Oh, it's alright, after all, it's just parting ways with Sister Nanxing..." The ship girls seemed to know what had happened. They exchanged glances and tacitly refrained from saying anything more, only smiling at Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai walked to the office door and gently opened it.

Although the ship girls were blocking the door, there was no one in the office.

Xiaobai glanced back at Iowa, then waved to the ship girls and went into the office.

"Come in, everyone."

"Great!"

Upon hearing the sound, the ship girls all got up and went into the office.

Xiaobai's office is also equipped with a sofa for guests, although there aren't many, it's just enough for these ship girls to sit down.

The ship girls sat huddled together on the sofa, their bodies pressed together, their long legs and waists rubbing and squeezing against each other. They chatted familiarly, their expressions cheerful, like a flock of baby birds chirping and singing in a nest.

Looking at this scene, Xiaobai felt inexplicably satisfied.

Changchun was sandwiched in the very center of the sofa by everyone. She was a little reserved, with her hands on her knees, feeling the crowding from the ship girls on both sides.

When Changchun looked up, she saw Xiaobai staring at her with a satisfied expression. She immediately felt a little shy, and her face turned slightly red.

"Admiral... are you looking at me?"

"Yes." Xiaobai nodded with a smile. She looked at the people present and asked Changchun, "Speaking of which, wasn't 1913 with you?"

"Ah... Thirteenth Sister? After returning to the naval base, Veneto Sister started preparing the training plan for Thirteenth Sister and Illinois Sister... So today, Thirteenth Sister is at the training ground, and Veneto Sister is in charge of training her."

"Don't we need to go to Illinois?"

"Sister Illinois is tomorrow. Sister Veneto said she will personally design the most suitable training plan for these two. Their training plans are different, so it will be a rotation system."

"I feel so sorry for Veneto..." Xiaobai sighed. "After I finish packing up here, I'll go check on them at the training ground."

"Huh? Doesn't the Admiral go to work?"

The ship girls all looked at Xiaobai.

"You've come to the right place." Xiaobai said to the ship girls with a smile, "Actually, I've thought about it. The guild's daily operations can basically be left to Miss Yingying. I only need to come and check on things occasionally. So I'm here to tidy up the office documents and then go back to the newbie naval base later."

"Oh oh oh-"

The ship girls on the sofa spoke in unison.

"Yeah, and I also promised Jinan that I'd take her back to the naval base later to find her a ship girl who can trigger the missile modification ship equipment," Xiaobai added. "There are a lot of people there, so we should be able to meet quite a few."

"So..." The ship girls looked at each other, thought for a moment, and then raised their hands to ask, "Admiral, can we go back with you later?"

"Sure, but how's your stamina, Chaoda and you?" Xiaobai said, looking at Chaoda and you.

"If we send it in... in several waves..." Chao Dahei said softly, pressing her hand to her chest as she saw so many people staring at her in the room.

"Super Yamato! Thank you!"

"Super big and big sister! Thank you!"

The office was immediately filled with the voices of the ship girls thanking Super Yamato.

……

Xiao Bai doesn't have much to organize at the Admiral's Guild; it's just some work-related documents.

Moreover, the office space here won't be completely abandoned after I leave; it will still be used in the future. Therefore, there isn't much to move. Most of the unused work documents and office equipment can just be left there.

After packing their things, Shiro and the ship girls in the office used the teleportation ability of the Super Yamato to return to the temporary naval base.

In the short time it took for Xiaobai to leave home, Jinan had already made all the necessary preparations for her departure.

As soon as Xiaobai went to the ship girl dormitory to find her, Jinan couldn't wait any longer. She grabbed a shoulder bag, fully armed, and skipped and hopped all the way over to Xiaobai, throwing herself into Xiaobai's arms. While rubbing her petite body against Xiaobai, she begged Xiaobai to take her to the newbie naval base quickly.

Xiaobai knows Jinan is in a hurry, but Jinan shouldn't rush.

After calming Jinan down, Xiaobai first took her to the training ground to see his wedding ship, Veneto, and the ship 1913, which was undergoing training.

When Xiaobai arrived at the training ground, he saw the scene was like a whirlwind, with waves rising and falling, and 1913's figure flashing and moving amidst the waves, engaging in a fierce battle with Veneto and her four sisters.

Veneto's strength is now far greater than that of 1913.

If Veneto had really gone all out, the 1913 would probably have lasted only two shots against her.

However, when it comes to training, if the gap between the two sides is too large, they certainly can't go all out every time. So what Xiaobai saw in the battle scene was that Veneto was following her training plan and holding back quite a bit, specifically guiding 1913 to cultivate the correct combat qualities and muscle reflexes.

Xiao Bai watched Veneto and 1913 fight for a while from the sidelines of the training ground.

This was the first time Xiaobai had seen 1913 in a fighting stance. Before this, in Xiaobai's eyes, 1913 was still a graceful and beautiful lady, gently swaying her parasol.

Although 1913 appears to be a refined, gentle, and aloof young lady who dislikes fighting and is detached from worldly affairs, the temperament she displays during battle is far from delicate. At least during the time Xiaobai was watching the battle, in the several clashes led by Veneto, despite the huge difference in strength between the two sides, 1913 never seemed to show any signs of disappointment or frustration.
