Elder brother's garrison

“…Sigh…” Yubari muttered to herself, “Maybe it’s all fate, oh well…”

Yubari left Shiro with a disheartened expression.

Shiro opened his eyes and saw Yubari squatting to the side, tidying up his messy clothes and hair.

The bite marks on her neck were still very obvious. Xiaobai touched her neck uncomfortably, but at this moment she felt more guilty and carefully got up.

"Yubari...I'm sorry..."

"Stop, Admiral, stop!" Yubari took a deep breath, held out a hand to Shiro, fingers spread, "Let's leave it at that!"

"Huh? Is that all?" Xiaobai asked in surprise.

"if not?"

"...Give me a beating?" Xiaobai asked tentatively.

"..." Yubari looked at Shiro helplessly, then glanced at Guam and Alaska, who were watching the show from the sidelines.

Sensing Yubari's gaze, Guam and Alaska immediately whistled and looked away.

To be fair, as expected of someone in the music industry, the whistling sounds from Guam and Alaska are quite pleasant to hear.

"Hmm... I'll let it go with a beating." Yubari withdrew her gaze, letting out a long, muffled groan. She crossed her arms and thought for a moment, her brows furrowing. "Logically speaking, I think I'd be very angry after finding out about this... but after biting the Admiral twice, I surprisingly didn't seem particularly angry, as if I had been somewhat prepared for this outcome... Oh well, I won't think about it too much. Anyway, I've bitten him, I've gotten my revenge, and now that the culprit has been found, rather than beating up the Admiral, all I need to do is make sure it doesn't happen again."

"what……"

"But Admiral!" Yubari said, then immediately turned around, pointed a finger at Shiro, and said angrily, "You didn't even tell me about something this important before!"

"I'm sorry..." Xiaobai lowered her head apologetically, "Well... although it's not exactly compensation, I'll just deduct the cost of replacing your equipment from my salary card..."

"The equipment is secondary..." Upon hearing that Shiro would replace her equipment, Yubari raised an eyebrow, her mood immediately improving. She then hummed a couple of times and said, "Well... anyway, the data that was damaged and lost was only from the Guam and Alaska ship equipment integration period... because similar situations have occurred before, I have regularly backed up other data during the refit... so this time it's not as complete a loss as before..."

Yubari took one last look at the computer emitting black smoke, her eyes filled with regret, and sighed.

"Admiral, the missile modification data can be obtained again in the future. I will let it go this time since the cause has been found. But if you do this again next time, I will be really angry!" Yubari said, pointing at Shiro.

"Good good!"

Little White immediately nodded rapidly, like a hamster.

"Hmm..." Yubari looked at Shiro's sincere apology and a hint of satisfaction appeared on her face.

Yubari turned his head to look at Guam and Alaska.

"Guam, Alaska...you..." Yubari frowned, staring at the two ship girls, "Have you already passed the ship equipment fusion period?"

“Yes,” Guam and Alaska nodded.

"Admiral, how did you do that?"

"Uh...infuse mental energy?"

"I see... Using the Admiral's mental power to accelerate the ship equipment fusion speed... That is indeed a good method..." Yubari muttered softly, glancing at Shiro, before stepping forward and taking the hands of the two ship girls. "Hey! Right, Guam, Alaska, you've finished too, let's go check your ship equipment status and test your ship equipment combat data!"

"Huh? So anxious?"

"Of course we're in a hurry! I just lost a lot of data, you guys better hurry up and fix some for me!" Yubari said, pulling Guam and Alaska towards the hibernation room. Before reaching the door, Yubari turned back and called out to Shiro, who was rubbing his neck, "Admiral—don't run away! Hurry up and catch up! I still need to ask you about the process and feedback of infusing the ship equipment with spiritual power!"

"Ah! Okay, okay, it's coming!"

Shiro was still rubbing her neck when she heard Yubari call out to her, and she quickly nodded in response.

Yubari accepted reality much faster than Shiro had imagined.

Xiaobai thought that based on Yubari's frantic reaction when the equipment broke down before, if she found out that he was the culprit, not to mention whether she would beat him up... it would take her at least a few hours to calm down...

However, in reality, Yubari quickly adjusted her mood and immediately threw herself into the next ship equipment test.

This ability to accept things...this resilience...

To be honest, it's definitely good material for researchers...

Xiaobai felt a pang of guilt and rubbed her neck.

The teeth marks on my neck are still incredibly clear to the touch.

Ok……

Xiao Bai withdrew the hand from her neck, looked at her palm, and pondered for a while.

Come to think of it... when Yubari bit her own neck just now, it felt strangely familiar...

It must be an illusion, right?

After thinking for a while, Xiaobai followed Yubari and Guam Alaska out of the hibernation chamber.

The other ship girls in the hibernation room are still asleep. What Xiaobai just broke was only the machine that monitors the data, and it will not affect the modification progress of the other ship girls.

After leaving the hibernation room, the group of four arrived at the hall where the ship equipment had been stored. In addition to the area for visiting ship equipment, there were also some other daily living facilities. Yubari arranged shower services for Alaska and Guam and sent the two, who were soaking wet, into the shower room.

The sound of the shower head came on, and water mist rose.

The silhouettes of Alaska and Guam are faintly visible inside the semi-transparent shower enclosure.

Yubari squatted alone where the ship equipment of Guam and Alaska used to be. She reached out and picked up the charred cable on the ground, frowning as she looked at it.

"Yubari..." Shiro sneaked up behind Shiro, "I'm here."

"Hmm..." Upon hearing Shiro's voice, Yubari nodded without turning her head, then held up the charred cable and said, "Admiral, did you directly infuse your spiritual power into the ship's equipment, causing these abnormalities?"

"Ah... no, it's the runes on the ship's equipment..." Shiro squatted down next to Yubari and explained to her.

"Rune font?"

"Yes, the rune characters themselves are driven by mental energy, and I filled those rune characters with mental energy," Xiaobai explained in a low voice.

"The rune text, infused with spiritual energy... Oh... I see, that's how it is..." Yubari listened blankly to Shiro's words, blinked, and then understood, "Admiral, your spiritual energy is so powerful. If it's directly infused, it can increase the efficiency of the rune text by at least a hundred times. This causes the ship equipment fusion progress to also increase. The excessive amount of information and the hundredfold increase in energy changes were all poured into the original circuitry, instantly burning out the cables that were detecting the ship equipment..."

"Uh... I don't understand."

"Simply put, it damaged these cables and instruments." Yubari looked at Shiro.

"Ah... I understand." Xiaobai nodded immediately like a good child.

"If that's the case, next time we just need to pre-define the capacity limits of cables and instruments to be more than a hundred times larger, and that should be enough to accommodate the data from the ship's equipment that has been enhanced by the Admiral." Yubari pinched his chin, twirling a burnt cable in his hand. "Hmm... buy more cables, then set a lead time to protect the measuring instruments, and use parallel circuits to distribute the measurement pressure, and then... just do it like that."

Xiaobai listened blankly as Yubari muttered to himself about the future renovation process.

"Huh? Why are you staring at my face, Admiral?" Yubari looked at Shiro.

"No, it's nothing..." Xiaobai shook her head and smiled admiringly at Yubari. "I just think... Yubari, you're amazing."

"Uh... even if you say that, Admiral, I still won't forgive you for breaking my equipment twice. Don't do it again." Yubari pouted at Shiro. "Speaking of which, Admiral, since you can infuse the ship equipment of Guam and Alaska with spiritual power, can you also infuse the ship equipment here with spiritual power? I used rune font technology for the missile ship equipment modification here."

Chapter 3864 Yes, yes, no, no

After listening to Yubari's words, Shiro turned to look at the other ship equipment in the hall.

"Imbuing other ship equipment with mental energy... If Guam and Alaska can do it, then theoretically others should be able to as well, but I haven't tried it yet..." Xiaobai murmured in reply.

"Then why don't you give it a try, Admiral?" Yubari said.

"...Do I really want to try?" Xiaobai pointed to herself and blinked.

"What's wrong? Are you scared now?" Yubari raised an eyebrow at Shiro and chuckled. "Anyway, the instrument used to detect data has already been broken by you, Admiral. So just go ahead and try it. There's no instrument that breaks at the slightest touch that's holding you back now."

"Uh……"

Xiao Bai scratched his cheek and gave an awkward smile.

Yubari's words make a lot of sense...

Under Yubari's gaze, Shiro slowly stood up. She tentatively walked to the nearest missile hull and reached out to touch its cool outer shell.

With a touch of his fingertips, Xiaobai quickly sensed the runes hidden beneath the ship's equipment.

Compared to the ship rigs of Guam and Alaska, the ship rig in front of Xiaobai felt much colder. Xiaobai did not feel any warm life pulse within this ship rig, and even the runes hidden within the ship rig seemed to be in a frozen state. Xiaobai had a strange feeling, as if what was in front of him was not a ship girl ship rig, but just a lump of iron with the shape of a ship rig.

Xiaobai paused for a moment, then turned and exchanged a glance with Yubari.

Yubari squatted on the ground, cupped his cheeks, and grinned at Shiro, his face full of encouragement.

Xiao Bai withdrew her gaze, pondered for a moment, took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and activated her mental energy.

Spiritual energy emanated from Xiaobai's body and instantly enveloped the ship's equipment in front of him.

A few seconds later, Xiaobai opened her eyes again. She calmly withdrew her spiritual power and turned back to Yubari's side.

"Huh? Admiral, you're done indoctrinating him already?" Yubari looked surprised when he saw Shiro return.

"No..." Xiaobai shook her head, scratching her cheek, and said regretfully to Yubari, "Yubari, I just discovered that I can't infuse these ship equipment with mental energy..."

"Hmm? Could it be that my mental energy reserves have run out?"

“No, not at all…” Xiaobai shook her head, squatted back down next to Yubari, and said to Yubari, “What I mean is, my mental power has no effect on these ship equipment.”

"no effect?"

"Yes……"

"What do you mean it's ineffective?"

"Hmm...it's like...it's like..." Xiaobai squinted, searching her mind for words to describe the feeling she had just experienced, "like using a remote control to control a TV that had lost power?"

Yubari listened intently to Shiro's explanation.

After a short while, Yubari suddenly realized.

"Ah... I see." Yubari's face showed a look of sudden realization. She nodded and smiled, "The admiral's mental power should not be able to affect ship equipment that has not yet been fused with a ship girl... Ship equipment that has not been fused with a ship girl is like a computer that has not been turned on. No matter how strong the admiral's mental power is, it cannot do anything to ship equipment that has been turned off."

"Uh..." Shiro listened to Yubari's words in a daze, and nodded subconsciously, "That should be it..."

“Very well, let’s wait until this batch of ship equipment is fully modified and enters the integration phase before asking the admiral to infuse each one with spiritual power.” Yubari clapped his hands lightly and stood up to say.

"Has it been confirmed that the infusion will be administered?" Shiro asked, getting up with Yubari.

"Ship equipment that's been infused with spiritual energy is definitely better than equipment that hasn't been infused with it, right?" Yubari countered. "After all, this is the Admiral's spiritual energy, you know."

"Well..." Xiaobai looked away, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Looking at Shiro's expression, Yubari suddenly smiled.

"It's alright, Admiral. As for whether getting your mental energy infusion will make you stronger... we'll find out soon enough."

As Yubari spoke, she cast an expectant gaze toward the rooms in Guam and Alaska that had been cleaned.

Just as Yubari's gaze fell on the curtain of the room, the sound of the shower head finally stopped behind the curtain of the shower room, and then two snow-white arms lifted the curtain at the same time.

"Admiral, we're done washing!"

Amidst the unanimous calls, two figures, one in blue and one in pink, emerged from their respective shower stalls.

Guam and Alaska tossed their hair and wiped the water droplets off their bodies as they walked back to the hall.

After returning to Shiro and Yubari, the two ship girls gradually emitted a faint glow. The halo covered their bodies for a moment, and then disappeared in an instant.

As the halo gradually dissipated, Guam and Alaska each revealed a set of clothing, the same outfits that Xiaobai had seen them wearing when they first appeared outside.

Their outfits in Guam and Alaska were basically the same as when they were outside. They were still wearing blue and pink jackets with white inner corsets. Their beautiful figures and fair skin were highlighted by the pretty clothes, making them look youthful, beautiful, and full of energy.

Although their attire was exactly the same as before, now that they had returned to their ship girl form, they were even more radiant in spirit than Xiaobai remembered.

"Hmm—it's still more comfortable to use a ship girl's body." Alaska stretched happily, and as she swayed her body, a sweet and melodious voice hummed from the tip of her nose, "Before I fused with the ship equipment, let alone singing and dancing, I would feel tired just walking around on the ground, and even carrying a guitar felt a bit heavy... It's much better now, with inexhaustible energy in my body!"

Guam didn't speak. She stretched out her hand and made a gesture in the air in front of her. As blue light flashed, a floating electronic keyboard appeared in front of Guam.

Guam gently stroked the keys of the electronic keyboard with her fingers, her eyes lowered as she stared at the blue halo flowing across it. Then, satisfied, she released her hand, and the keyboard vanished in an instant, turning into a stream of light.

"The new ship is very easy to use. As expected of Dr. Yubari's modifications, it's very comfortable." Guam gave Yubari a serene smile.

“Don’t be so formal with me, we’re all family.” Yubari shrugged and said to Guam and Alaska, “Now that the ship equipment is back in my body, how about we go to the training ground and try out the new ship equipment?”

"Ok?"

Guam and Alaska exchanged a glance, then looked at Yubari and turned to look at Shiro.

"Just finished the modifications and already heading to the training grounds..." Alaska said, then asked Shiro, "Is the Admiral going too?"

"Ah... I think I went there." Xiaobai nodded.

"Then there's nothing I can do." Alaska crossed her arms, smiled at Little White, and said obediently, "I'll give the Admiral face and go."

“Then I’ll go with Alaska,” Guam echoed from the side.

……

Alaska, Guam, and Shiro and Yubari left the modification workshop.
