Elder brother's garrison

Xiao Bai stared blankly at the tea that had been brewed in front of her, then looked up in a daze at Pachina, who was looking down at her. Unsure, she stammered, "Pa...Pachina...what is this...?"

"Drink," pachina said coldly.

"Oh, oh..." Xiaobai quickly picked up the teacup with both hands and took small sips.

The water was boiling hot, so the teacup became extremely hot, and Pachina's tea-brewing skills were also a nightmare, resulting in a very mediocre taste for the tea.

It tastes more like dishwater than tea...

but……

That being said.

Pachina actually offered to make tea for people?

This is truly unprecedented; the sun has risen in the west!

She never used to do these kinds of servant tasks...

Xiao Bai drank the scalding hot tea and cautiously looked up at Pachina. Pachina threw the kettle back onto the coffee table, crossed her arms, turned around, and sat down next to Xiao Bai.

Pachina and Xiaobai were sitting very close to each other, but there was still a fist's distance between them.

This feeling of being both intimate and not so intimate is quite perplexing.

Xiaobai curiously observed Pachina's expression. The two sat quietly on the sofa for a long time without saying a word, until Xiaobai finished her tea and slowly put down her teacup.

Xiao Bai cleared his throat, preparing to speak.

“Pachina, you… you’re up so early,” Xiaobai said.

"Hmm." This time, Pachina didn't scold Xiaobai anymore. She looked down at the teacup that Xiaobai had drunk clean and gave a short, cold reply.

"..." Xiaobai scratched his cheek, "Um...pachina, what time did your party last night end? How was it?"

"..." Pachina did not reply.

"..." Xiaobai shook his head, thought for a while with some helplessness, "pachina, Shenhai Longxiang recently told me that your condition is not very good..."

Xiaobai was just about to steer the conversation toward Pachina when footsteps sounded from the stairs leading to the second floor.

dong dong dong-

Several figures dressed as maids walked down the stairs one after another.

"Huh? Admiral? You're awake."

"What a coincidence, Pachina is here too."

Good morning, Admiral.

"Yay! Good morning!"

Deep Sea Dragon and Loki led several Deep Sea Deans, who looked sleepy and yawning, downstairs. When they entered the living room, they saw Xiaobai and Pachina sitting side by side on the sofa and showed a look of surprise, as if they had seen some kind of partner that did not exist in the real world.

"Good morning, Deep Sea Dragon, Loki." Little White greeted the Deep Sea Deans. "You're up so early too."

“Well, that’s how early the naval base maids start work,” said Deep Sea Ryujo, raising an eyebrow at Shiro and Pachina. “But Admiral, it’s quite unusual to see you sitting with Pachina at this hour.”

Chapter 3914 Capture

As Shenhai Longxiang spoke, Xiaobai couldn't help but glance back at the clock hanging in the center of the living room.

Xiaobai did wake up very early today, which should have been about an hour earlier than the maids of the newbie naval base. However, when she came to the living room, she sat on the sofa with Pachina in silence for a long time. In the process, she bumped into the deep-sea maids who were starting their shift.

The deep-sea maids walked up to Xiaobai in small groups and greeted her one by one.

Loki silently went into the kitchen, turned on the stove, and began preparing breakfast for everyone.

Kamikaze and Savoy played rock-paper-scissors, and the loser had to go to the naval base's canteen to buy soy milk and breakfast for the whole family.

Deep Sea Dragon came to Xiaobai's side and plopped down on the other side of Xiaobai.

"Haha, I didn't expect the Admiral to get up this early." Deep Sea Ryujo joked to Shiro. "But what surprised me the most was Pachina. At this time of year, Pachina was impossible to wake up."

“Hmm…there are always exceptions…” Xiaobai nodded, her gaze unconsciously shifting to Pachina beside her.

After the directors of the Deep Sea Academy entered the living room, Pachina didn't say another word. She kept a straight face and remained indifferent as always, seemingly unresponsive to everything.

Judging from her current state, it seems impossible to comfort her.

And offering advice... is indeed not appropriate in front of so many people.

Xiao Bai thought with some regret.

"Admiral, let's have breakfast together. Loki can make us fried rice, and Kamikaze went to buy us steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and soy milk!" Deep Sea Ryujo said to Xiaobai, holding Xiaobai's hand.

"Ah... okay." Xiaobai nodded and smiled at the Deep Sea Dragon.

Having breakfast with Dean Shenhai is a pretty good suggestion. After all, they used to start work so early. If Xiaobai got up and went downstairs according to her own schedule, she would often only see them packing their clothes and getting ready to leave.

Upon hearing that Xiaobai was going to have breakfast with the Deans of the Deep Sea Academy, the Deans present immediately cheered.

Loki quickly prepared a homemade breakfast, and a few minutes later, Kamikaze returned from the naval base's dining hall with a large number of bags and packages.

The deep-sea creatures placed the food on the table, and then invited Little White to the head seat.

"Admiral, come on, have this bun, it's filled with beef!" Deep Sea Dragon picked up a small steamed bun and offered it to Little White's mouth.

"Okay, thank you, Longxiang." Xiaobai smiled and took the xiaolongbao with her mouth.

"Admiral, would you like some soy milk?" Kamikaze held up a cup of soy milk, a seductive smile on his face, and defiantly swayed his full chest. "Freshly made, white, hot, and soft, I guarantee it's fresh soy milk."

"Tsk," Savoy scoffed.

"Eat properly! No tempting the Admiral during breakfast!" The other Deep Sea Deans immediately snatched the soy milk from Kamikaze's arms.

"Sigh..." Kamikaze sighed regretfully.

The abyssal deans stuffed the Kamikaze soy milk into Kaga's arms, then picked up a new cup of soy milk and handed it to Shiro.

Xiao Bai accepted the soy milk with a smile and looked at everyone.

Did everyone have a good time at the party last night?

"So happy, so happy, Admiral!"

"Nothing unpleasant happened at the party, right?" Xiaobai asked again.

"Huh? No, why is the Admiral asking this?" the Deep Sea Deans asked curiously.

"Ah...no, it's nothing." Seeing the innocent eyes of the Deans of the Deep Sea Academy, Xiaobai immediately nodded with relief and took a sip of soy milk.

Judging from the reactions of the Deans of the Deep Sea Academy... I didn't cause any trouble after I got drunk yesterday.

Ok.

Good.

"Admiral, speaking of which, why did you leave the table so early yesterday?" The Deep Sea Deans continued to inquire when they saw that Xiaobai was silent. "Our party lasted very late yesterday. Even Hu De and Miss Bai Ying stayed to continue drinking after they finished vomiting. You were the only one who left halfway through."

"Ah... well..." Xiaobai looked at the Deans of the Deep Sea Academy and scratched his cheek shyly.

It seems the directors of the Deep Sea Academy probably don't know that they were drunk when they left the table yesterday...

Since that's the case, then let's not talk about it anymore...

It's kind of embarrassing to talk about this kind of thing.

"Deep Sea Dragon, stop asking." Just as Xiaobai was thinking about how to explain, Loki called out to Deep Sea Dragon, "It's normal for the Admiral to feel tired when he's busy with his work."

"Oh, so you're tired." Deep Sea Ryujo looked at Shiro with concern. "Admiral, you must take care of yourself. The lifespan of humans is less than a hundred years. If you don't have a healthy lifestyle, it will be even shorter. I want to spend a few more years with you."

"Hehe, if the admiral dies, then no one in this world can control me." Savoy chuckled as he stirred the soup with his fingers.

"Say such unlucky things so early on, if something really happens to the Admiral, I'll be the first to expose you!" Deep Sea Ryujo pointed at Savoy, "Pointing at daytime!"

"..." Xiao Bai listened to the words of the Deans of the Deep Sea Academy and smiled continuously.

At the dinner table, the directors of the deep-sea institutes often utter language that is not in accordance with human etiquette.

But...

When I think about how they are the deans of the Deep Sea Institute, it's already quite remarkable that they can sit properly at the dining table and eat. So I feel more at ease about everything else.

Xiao Bai took a bite of the steamed bun that Shenhai Longxiang handed him and glanced at his side.

Pachina sat quietly in her seat, silent and composed, only taking a few bites of the breakfast on her plate.

While the abyssal deans were eating, several early-rising ship girls from their homes also came downstairs one after another.

Upon seeing the Deep Sea Deans sitting with Xiaobai, the ship girls immediately greeted them and joined them at the table.

After they had finished eating breakfast, the directors of the Deep Sea Academy packed their clothes and got up.

"Well, Admiral, we've finished breakfast and are heading to work!" The Deep Sea Directors waved goodbye to Little White, "Admiral, take your time eating!"

"Ah."

Xiaobai waved and watched as the Deans of the Deep Sea Academy put the tableware into the kitchen, and then came to the door to straighten each other's maid outfits.

"I don't have any plans today, just the usual cleaning is fine... Loki, should I go to the warehouse again today?"

"There are a few jobs over at the ship girl dormitory..."

"..."

The directors of the Deep Sea Institute talked and chatted, then glanced at Pachina and spoke up.

"Pachina, remember to go to work early today too!"

"If you're not going, please let us know!"

Even the other deep-sea managers felt somewhat helpless about Pachina, who had completely given up her salary, frequently skipped work to slack off, and was never punctual for work.

"..." But at this moment, facing the questions from the members of the Deep Sea, pachina simply wiped her mouth with a tissue, then got up from the table and came to the members of the Deep Sea.

"Huh? Pachina, what are you doing?"

"Going to work, huh?" Pachina looked at everyone and spoke in a cool tone.

"...Huh?" The Deep Sea members were stunned for a moment. They stared at the calm-faced Pachina, as if she were a complete stranger. "Pachina? Are you serious? You really want to go to work?"

"Don't be ridiculous. Putting aside the fact that you've been skipping work lately... even before, you've almost never been on time for work, right?"

"Tell me honestly, have you been possessed?"

After confirming several times that Pachina was indeed preparing to go to work, the directors of the Deep Sea Academy all looked at Xiaobai with expressions of immense admiration.

"My goodness, no wonder he's the Admiral! He calmed Pachina down in no time!"

"No, Admiral, how did you comfort Pachina yesterday?"

"Was it because you comforted me this morning?"

"No, no, thinking about it carefully, Pachina seems to have started working last night. If she hadn't cleaned the living room, we probably would have had to clean it up this morning..."

"Admiral, you're awesome!"

The directors of the Deep Sea Academy all gave Xiaobai a thumbs up and exclaimed in amazement.

Xiao Bai, who had received a thumbs-up from the Deans of the Deep Sea Academy, was completely bewildered. She pointed at herself, her mouth slightly open, looking utterly lost.

"Huh? What? Me? What happened to me?"

No, I didn't do anything.

I just had a sip of wine at the party, slept soundly all night, and then bumped into Pachina the next morning and chatted with her for a bit, didn't I?

Did this make her feel better?

I did have the idea of ​​comforting her, but I hadn't even started comforting her yet...

Uh...that's not right.

So, does this mean she's in a better mood?

I have absolutely no idea...

Xiao Bai subconsciously looked at Pachina, seeking an answer.

But at this moment, Xiaobai couldn't see Pahcina's expression. Her position was right in front of Xiaobai, and Xiaobai could only see her straight white hair, the blue mechanical cat ears on her head, and the delicate curve of one side of her cheek.

The sunlight shone on Pachina, making her smooth, snow-white neck look as if it were covered by something; her collar was pulled up longer than it had been a few days ago.

After their initial amazement, the directors of the Deep Sea Academy took Pachina and left the living room to go to work.

As Xiao Bai watched the Deans of the Deep Sea Academy walk down the corridor outside the window, their figures disappearing at the other end amidst their cheerful chatter, he fell into deep thought.
