Does this female admiral know Nia?
The male admirals looked around at Shiro and the ship girls behind her, and the more they looked, the more flustered they became.
When powerful ship girls enter combat mode, they naturally possess a unique aura—an aura that develops naturally in battle. At this moment, behind Xiaobai, almost every one of these ship girls exudes this fierce aura.
Most importantly, judging from their grim expressions, it seems they've all entered a battle-ready state.
The male admirals swallowed hard, then looked stiffly in Nia's direction.
Surrounded by Atago and Takao, Nia stared blankly at Shiro. Her fierce expression, which had been like that of a vicious dog, had long since vanished. Now, Nia's face and eyes were red, and her big eyes were blinking. She had regained her previous gentle demeanor.
"Little...Little White?" Nia murmured, looking at Little White who was walking towards her.
"Nia, it's been a long time!" Xiaobai walked up to the dozen or so ship girls kneeling on the beach. She didn't stop, but nimbly slipped through the gaps between the kneeling ship girls and stood in front of Nia, smiling at her, "Are you alright?"
Nia quickly raised her hand, wiping away her tears, and then nodded to Xiaobai.
"Hello, Cleveland, Takao, Atago," Shiro greeted the three ship girls beside Nia with a smile.
The three ship girls quickly bowed to Xiaobai: "Hello, Admiral Lu Lin!"
"I just heard from the guild leader that Nia was in the first node, so I came over." Xiaobai smiled at Nia, "I didn't expect to run into her right away."
"Ah... um... I..." Nia looked at Xiaobai in a flustered manner, her eyes sliding from Xiaobai's face to Xiaobai's feet, but she didn't know what to say. "I... I'm here..."
"Since Cleveland is with Nia, does that mean you've already finished your campaign, Nia?" Xiaobai asked.
"Ah... yeah, it's over!"
"Oh, I see. Nia, where are you living now?"
"...I rented a courtyard to live in for now."
"The courtyard? It's just like the one I had a while ago. I wonder if it bothered Nia. Can you take me there to have a look?" Xiaobai asked with a smile.
"Yes, yes!" Nia nodded quickly, then lowered her head somewhat timidly, not daring to look Xiaobai in the eye.
Nia's performance was observed by many admirals who were watching on the beach.
The admirals looked at Nia and the mysteriously appearing white-haired admiral with expressions that suggested they had seen a ghost.
Nia's reaction clearly shows that she saw her crush's behavior...
Although I had heard that Admiral Nia had someone she liked... I never expected it to be a girl.
The admirals looked at the little white figure in front of Nia with suspicion.
Xiaobai was smiling sweetly at Nia. She stood among the dozen or so ship girls kneeling on the beach, and the ship girls on the beach didn't dare to move an inch.
Many admirals felt a subtle sense of familiarity when they saw Xiaobai's face, but they couldn't quite recall where they had seen this peculiar admiral before.
"Let's go then," Xiaobai said to Nia, taking Nia's hand.
Nia gave a soft "hmm," and then Xiaobai pulled Nia aside and walked past the ship girls kneeling on the beach without looking back, heading into the distance.
Cleveland and Atago Takao watched Nia and Shiro leave. Their gazes first fell on the male admiral, whose face was covered in blood, and then on the ship girls kneeling on the ground.
When Xiaobai dragged Nia away, none of the ship girls dared to make a sound.
It was as if someone was holding a sharp blade to their necks; they lowered their heads in terror, not daring to look at Nia even once, their delicate faces covered in cold sweat.
Although they found the ship girls' behavior strange, at least it was in their own best interest. After exchanging a glance, Cleveland and Aidori Takao quickly followed Shiro's lead.
The ship girls dared not move, and the two male admirals, now without the protection of the ship girls, could only stand there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.
Just when they were at a loss, they felt several gazes that seemed to be real.
Among Xiaobai's ship girls, two ship girls dressed in black were staring coldly at him. One had white hair and the other had pink hair. They looked at the two admirals with blood-red eyes devoid of emotion, as if they were looking at two lambs to the slaughter, not two people.
For some reason, after feeling that gaze, the legs of the two admirals began to go weak.
Xiaobai and Nia slowly walked away at this time.
After taking a deep look at the group of ship girls and the three admirals, the ship girls behind Xiaobai did nothing in the end. Instead, they slowly turned around and followed in Xiaobai's direction.
The ship girls slowly left the scene.
Bismarck reached out and gently placed her hand on Tirpitz's head, rubbing it lightly a few times.
Tirpitz then closed his eyes and sighed.
As Tirpitz sighed, the ship girls kneeling on the beach finally felt relieved. With soft moans, they collapsed and gasped for breath.
"Please have this." A can of Coca-Cola with the tab pulled open was handed to Tirpitz.
Tirpitz looked to the other side and saw Missouri smiling at him.
Tirpitz took the can of cola and gulped it down in a few mouthfuls.
"A towel." Missouri handed over a towel with a smile.
Tirpitz looked at Missouri for a moment, but simply placed the empty can on Missouri's towel.
Missouri, all smiles, returned Tirpitz's can and towel to her ship's equipment space.
Nia and Xiaobai left the beach of the first node peacefully, as if they had never been there, leaving no trace.
"Nia, where is the courtyard you rented?" Xiaobai asked Nia with a smile on the way back to the city.
"Near the Admiral's Guild..."
"Oh, it's better if it's closer. The courtyard where I lived in the artificial city was quite far from the Admiral's Guild, and it was quite troublesome to walk there."
"The president introduced me to this courtyard..."
"Ah, President Nia, are you and President Nia very close?"
“…Hmm.” Nia was silent for a moment, then nodded somewhat subtly.
Xiao Bai couldn't help but laugh when he saw Nia's subtle expression.
Although they hadn't known each other for long, President Er Gou was a person whose personality was quite easy to read. Judging from Nia's reaction, Xiao Bai guessed that Nia had been taken advantage of by President Er Gou quite a bit.
Nia no longer only has Cleveland as she did in the first chapter; she now has many more ship girls. So, when she stays at the hotel, room assignments become quite troublesome.
Fortunately, starting from the second chapter, the number of admirals is not so many. Starting with the artificial city, the extra open space can not only be used as a place for merchants to live, but also for admirals with a large number of ship girls to rent for short-term residence.
Nia led Xiaobai to the vicinity of the Admiral's Guild, then they went into an alley, turning left and right until they arrived at a courtyard.
"So this is Nia's yard?" Little White asked Nia, standing next to her.
“Yes, this is it.” Nia nodded.
"May I go in?" Xiaobai asked.
Nia nodded quickly.
Xiao Bai nodded, then gently pushed open the courtyard gate: "Then I'll disturb you... uh!"
The moment Xiaobai pushed open the courtyard door, two figures, one pink and one blue, sprang out from the other side of the door like arrows drawn taut, and pounced on Xiaobai in an instant.
As two sweet scents wafted over, Xiaobai felt a sudden weight on her body as two small bodies clung to her.
Chapter 631 Missouri assists you, senior.
"The Admiral is back! Javelin is number one!" Among the bodies hanging on Xiaobai's body was the destroyer Javelin. She chuckled and hooked her arm around Xiaobai's, rubbing against him with all her might.
"Hmm." The other pink figure was Laffey. She hugged Little White's waist and made an ambiguous sound with considerable dissatisfaction, pressing her entire face against Little White's belly. Her fluffy hair was filled with the scent of the destroyer.
"In the world of martial arts, speed is the only way to win, hehe." Javelin hooked on Little White's arm and laughed several times at Laffey, who was hugging Little White's belly. "But I feel like the admiral is acting a little strange today. It feels so empty here."
Javelin laughed as she reached out and touched Xiaobai's chest, her soft little hand groping around Xiaobai's chest.
"Huh?" It wasn't until this moment that Javelin, who noticed something was wrong with the chest, was taken aback, and then looked at Xiaobai's face.
Wherever his eyes fell, Little White was smiling at him: "Long time no see, Little Javelin."
"Huh??!!" Javelin exclaimed in surprise after seeing Xiaobai's face clearly. "It's Admiral Lu Lin!"
"Your admiral is over there," Xiaobai said with a smile, pointing to Nia beside her and addressing Javelin.
Nia, standing next to Xiaobai, was smiling at the javelin.
Javelin's face flushed red instantly. She awkwardly clung to Little White, unsure of what to do.
"Laffey didn't call him Admiral." At this moment, Laffey, who had been holding Little White's belly, pouted and said a sentence, then looked at Javelin, his big red eyes filled with the word "victory".
"Lafite, you tricked me!"
"Of all martial arts, stability is the only way to break through defenses." Raffi muttered, then looked up at Xiaobai and said, "Hello, Sister Lu Lin."
Upon hearing this, Xiaobai felt as if an arrow had pierced her heart. She swayed, clutching her chest, and looked at Raffi with delight.
For Xiaobai, there is no word in the world that sounds better than "older sister".
Ah, did you hear that? Raffi is calling his sister.
Xiao Bai was so moved that she almost cried.
Touched, Xiaobai bent down, cupped Lafite's delicate little face, and nuzzled against it.
"Hello, Laffey." Little White felt touched by the soft touch of Laffey's face and thought to himself that Laffey was indeed amazing.
Javelin puffed out its cheeks and looked at Little White with a sullen expression.
"Hello Javelin too," Little White greeted Javelin while nuzzling Laffey's cheek.
"Sister Xiaobai, I want one too!" The javelin slid to Xiaobai's waist, looking like she had been treated unfairly.
Xiaobai is the type who's all for her sister. Now that she heard the word "sister" from Javelin's mouth, Xiaobai was overjoyed. She hugged Javelin tightly, looking as if she had already won the world.
Javelin and Lafite are fantastic.
No, it's the destroyers that are amazing.
Xiaobai happily followed the two destroyers from Nia's family into the courtyard. The ship girls from Nia's family who were still guarding the courtyard immediately exclaimed in surprise, and a series of respectful greetings came from the courtyard.
Seeing her admiral being dragged away by another destroyer, Fubuki was obviously unhappy. She gave a soft snort, grabbed Changchun and her three younger sisters, and rushed into the courtyard.
"Admiral! Admiral!" Without saying a word, Fubuki jumped onto Shiro's face, wrapping her head around his head like a dream, and shouted defiantly, "Fubuki wants some too!"
Suddenly, Nia's yard became lively with the arrival of Fubuki.
Nia and the remaining ship girls watched through the courtyard gate as Shiro and Fubuki played around with Javelin and Laffey without any awkwardness, and couldn't help but laugh.
Xiaobai and Nia's ship girls already had a good relationship, but now it's a bit hard to tell whether Xiaobai is the admiral or he himself is the admiral.
“Um…” Nia’s gaze shifted to the remaining ship girls beside her.
"Bismarck".
"Ah, Bismarck, hello. My name is Nia."
“I’ve heard about it from Xiaobai.” Bismarck nodded.
"Ah...I see." A happy smile appeared on Nia's face, and then she stepped into the yard as if relieved. "Let's go in then."
The group followed Nia into the courtyard.
It has to be said that Xiaobai seems to have a special charm aura that is exclusive to destroyers. After entering Nia's yard, most of Nia's ships surrounded her, especially Laffey and Javelin, who were playing and frolicking with Fubuki and Changchun without any sense of distance.
“That’s how Xiaobai is. I’ll go call her,” Bismarck said to Nia.
"No need, no need." Nia quickly shook her head, then waved to Xiaobai from afar, indicating that Xiaobai should play with the destroyers more. Then she bowed to Bismarck, "Um, if you have any luggage, you can leave it in the room over there. The rooms over there are all empty and are cleaned regularly, so they are very clean."
“Hmm, no need to release it. We’ll go out and find the caravan in a little while…” Bismarck said.
“That would be such a waste.” Nia shook her head immediately upon hearing Bismarck’s words. “You would be renting a lot of rooms. I have many empty rooms in my yard. Wouldn’t it be more economical to stay with me?”
After saying this, Nia looked at Bismarck with a hopeful expression.
Bismarck and Nia looked at each other for a while, then fell into deep thought.
“We don’t lack money,” Bismarck said to Nia after a while.
"..." Nia was struck dumb.
"Hahahaha." But at this moment, Missouri pounced on Bismarck from behind, and quickly covered Bismarck's mouth with both hands. "Senior Bismarck is so funny."
"Hmm?" Bismarck asked Missouri behind her, puzzled.
“Missouri doesn’t approve of such wasteful behavior. Missouri thinks we’ll be staying here for about half a month, which means our hotel expenses won’t be cheap. Since Admiral Nia can provide us with empty rooms, how about we discuss it with her?” Missouri asked Bismarck with a smile.
“…” Bismarck’s eyes were still filled with doubt.
“The Admiral also said so, didn’t she? She prefers to be closer to the Admiral’s Guild,” Missouri said to Bismarck with a smile.
Bismarck thought for a moment and nodded.
