"There's really nothing we can do with the boss—" the deep-sea supply ship said, blushing.
"Why are you taking off your clothes, Supply Girl?" Xiaobai looked at the Deep Sea Supply Ship's behavior with a puzzled expression.
"Huh? Isn't it my turn?"
"What do you mean, your turn?"
"Then boss, you're telling me to take today off, isn't that...?"
"Oh, that's because there's not much left to do in the second chapter. Nia and Lianlian are going to explore the next part of the sea, and we can't stay with them forever. We also need to prepare to go back in a few days, so there's no need to continue cleaning here."
“…” Deep-sea supply ship.
"Supply sauce?"
"...Boss, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"what?"
"It's alright... Thanks, boss." The deep-sea supply ship pouted, silently put on its clothes, picked up the broom, hummed softly, and left.
He looked subtly unhappy.
Missouri then came out of the room.
"Admiral, Missouri is ready," Missouri said to Xiaobai with a smile.
"Okay..." Xiaobai nodded, then subconsciously glanced at Missouri's clothes, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Hmm? Missouri, didn't you go to change your clothes?"
Missouri's clothes didn't seem to have changed much since she went in.
"Reporting to the Admiral, Missouri went to change his clothes," Missouri said with a smile.
"Are all your clothes the same style?" Xiaobai asked.
Missouri put a finger to her lips: "Shh—Admiral, Missouri changed into clothes that she doesn't want anyone other than the Admiral to see."
"?"
"It's for the final battle." Missouri smiled and put her hands behind her back, a hint of embarrassed shyness rising in her eyes like a young girl in the throes of spring.
"???" Xiaobai still didn't understand.
Oh well, Missouri often speaks in a way that Little White can't understand anyway, so let her be.
Little White went to the kitchen and told Bismarck, who was cooking inside, that he would go shopping with Missouri. After Bismarck nodded, he returned to Missouri's side.
"Did Bismarck agree?" Missouri asked Little White.
“Bismarck trusts you a lot, she won’t worry with you around,” Xiaobai said.
The two walked and talked as they headed out of the courtyard.
"I am flattered to have gained Bismarck's trust," Missouri said with a smile.
"Because you've fought before, Bismarck knows your strength, Missouri."
"That battle ended in a crushing defeat for Missouri."
"Bismarck is amazing, isn't she?" Xiaobai said with a hint of pride.
Missouri nodded, her head swaying gently in the wind for a moment.
"...Yes, in that situation, even if Missouri played a hundred more times, they wouldn't win a single one."
"but……"
"If the admiral were on Missouri's side, Missouri would never have lost."
Missouri murmured softly.
Missouri's words were spoken very softly, carried away by the wind, as if they might slip away at any moment. Rather than a defiant explanation, they sounded more like a soliloquy.
The two chatted as they walked, and had already left the courtyard far behind.
The courtyard was left far behind, and the noise grew fainter and fainter.
It was as if a veil had been drawn over the street, making it appear exceptionally deserted.
"Why?" Xiaobai heard Missouri's mutterings and asked curiously.
Missouri tilted her head to look at Little White, said nothing, just smiled quietly and extended her hand to Little White.
Xiao Bai grasped it.
Warm and soft.
"Because Missouri and Bismarck are ship girls," Missouri said slowly, holding Shiro's hand.
"..."
"Never underestimate ship girls, Admiral. The feelings between ship girls will never fade, even after fifty years."
Missouri's voice, as melodious as willow branches, made Xiaobai unconsciously quiet down.
The scene was very peaceful for a time.
Suddenly, Xiaobai raised an eyebrow.
"...Missouri."
"Ok?"
"Um... I suddenly remembered... were you transported to fifty years ago?"
"Ah."
"So how old are you this year?" Xiaobai covered her mouth with her other hand, looking at Missouri with some surprise.
"..."
Missouri didn't say anything, just smiled slightly.
Then, Xiaobai felt his hand, which was being held by Missouri's.
like.
It hurt a little when I pinched it.
Chapter 859 The Admiral Has Disappeared
After Xiaobai and Missouri left, the bright flames in the kitchen flickered for a while before gradually dying down amidst the sounds of pots and pans clattering.
The firelight served as a signal, and most of the ship girls, who had nothing else to do, understood as soon as they saw the flames in the kitchen gradually subside and gathered around their tables and chairs.
A fragrant aroma, like white mist, wafted from the kitchen as Nia and Bismarck each carried a steamer basket out.
"The steamed buns are ready!" Nia said, raising her voice as she reached out and opened the steamer.
Accompanied by the shouts of the ship girls, white steam spread like a breeze. The ship girls stretched out their small hands, not afraid of the heat, and directly grabbed the round and white buns that had puffed up under the heat. The scene was very lively for a moment.
Because she's been busy taking care of her child lately, Yi Xian's biological clock is always a few hours slower than other ship girls, and she was also woken up by the lively sounds in the courtyard.
With a creak, the door to Yixian's room was pushed open a crack.
A slender, snow-white hand reached out from inside, supported the door, and slowly pushed it open.
Yi Xian squinted one eye as she walked out of the room, then looked at the ship girls in the middle of the courtyard.
"Today feels especially lively." Yi Xian smiled, then simply opened the door, walked up the steps, and took a deep breath.
"Yixian, you're up so early today?" Nia, who was at the other end of the courtyard, saw Yixian standing in front of the door and waved to her. "Want to eat together?"
Yi Xian bowed slightly to Nia, but only shook his head.
Yixian has been eating quite late lately lately, and she has no appetite now.
Nia didn't seem surprised by Yixian's refusal. She just smiled regretfully and was then pulled to the dining table by Kaohsiung Atago and the others.
Yi Xian watched the ship girls having dinner from afar. Behind her, a green-haired, green-eyed deep sea creature peeked out from the doorway behind her, curiously observing the lively scene on Nia's side.
"Bismarck, go back." Yi Xian reached out and gently stroked the head of Deep Sea Bismarck. "Good boy."
Deep Sea Bismarck glanced at Yi Xian quietly, then silently slipped back inside and disappeared into the dark room.
While there's no need to keep the existence of the Deepsea Dean a secret from Xiaobai's ship girls, there are quite a few of Nia's ship girls and Warspite and Des Moines from Luo Lian's family in this courtyard. Xiaobai is still considering how to get these two close friends, the admirals, to accept the fact that she's raising Deepseas in her naval base. So for now, Deepsea Bismarck and Deepsea Tirpitz, these two Deepsea Deans who aren't quite right in the head yet, still have to stay obediently in Yixian's room.
After all, if Yi Xian had to keep an eye on these two Deans of the Deep Sea Academy, she wouldn't have much time to have meals with them.
Two sets of footsteps sounded from the gate.
The two ship girls, Entry and Emerald, rushed in from outside.
"Oh no! I'm late! I'm late!"
As the two ship girls hurried toward the other end of the courtyard, they didn't forget to bow to their senior, Yi Xian, as they passed by.
Good morning, Senior Yixian!
Two clear, melodious voices, like those of orioles, brought a sense of comfort and joy to the listener, as if a hundred flowers were blooming in their heart.
"Good morning." Yi Xian smiled and gave a slight bow. "Did the younger sisters go for a walk again this morning?"
"Ah... um, I'll try to come back earlier next time." Emerald blushed, lowered her head, and awkwardly scratched her shoulder. "I'm so sorry for being late."
"Taking a walk is a good habit, but don't get too carried away when you go out to breathe fresh air."
“Yes, I’ll definitely go for a walk next time…” Emerald nodded, then frowned slightly halfway through her sentence, “Never mind, I guess I won’t go for walks for a while…”
Yi Xian looked at Emerald and Progress, somewhat puzzled: "Have you sisters run into some trouble? If so, don't forget to tell the Admiral later."
"No, no!" Emerald quickly waved her hand, then smiled helplessly. "Really, no, it's just that there are fewer people on the streets lately, so it feels a bit deserted, and the atmosphere in the mornings is a little uncomfortable."
“It’s more than just feeling unwell,” Jinqu interjected, pouting. “When Emerald went out today, she kept saying that someone was watching her, so she kept wandering around and took a long detour. That’s why she came back late.”
"Greedy, Yashila!" Emerald reached out and pinched the flesh on Greedy's waist hard.
Then Jinqi started yelling "Oh dear, oh dear!"
"Well, it's natural! Oh dear! Ship girls are bound to attract attention when they walk down the street! Who told you to be so pretty! Oh dear, it's okay, it's okay, I'm here for you... Oh no, no, it hurts, it hurts—"
Jinqu and Feicui twisted together in front of Yixian, saying goodbye to him as they twisted, and then walked towards the dining table.
Yi Xian didn't say anything, but just smiled and watched them leave.
Yi Xian withdrew her gaze and looked at the gate.
—Are you being watched?
It's not surprising that high-profile, attractive female characters like ship girls would be stared at when they go out.
Just then, a humming voice rang out from beside Yixian.
At that moment, an unarmed deep-sea supply ship was ostentatiously passing by Yixian while expertly counting money.
"I'm not working today! It's awesome! So comfortable!"
The supply ship seemed to be in a pretty good mood.
"Supply sauce," Yi Xian called out.
"Eek!" The song from the deep-sea supply ship abruptly stopped. Clutching the banknotes, she looked at Yixian warily. "Wh-what are you doing..."
Are you going out?
"Yeah, I was planning to go out and buy some things..." the deep-sea supply ship muttered under its breath, "...Can't I?"
Although the deep-sea supply ship wasn't used to getting along with Yi Xian, she figured you can't hit someone who's all smiles. Since Yi Xian wasn't mean to her, she could only answer Yi Xian's questions honestly.
“Of course, no problem.” Yi Xian smiled.
—Yi Xian looked at the supply ship and felt a subtle, mysterious premonition in her heart.
"Has the supply ship been harassed by bad guys during its recent outings?"
"No... Wow, you're not worried about me getting into danger, are you? Even though my ship equipment is broken, as long as I shout for help, there are lolicon here, and a bunch of kind-hearted guys will run out from all directions to protect me."
"...It was Yixian who was being presumptuous." Yixian smiled.
"Then I'm off." The deep-sea supply ship stuffed the banknotes into its clothes and walked out of the yard.
The deep-sea supply ship had only taken two steps.
"Supply sauce".
"...What are you doing?"
"I just remembered, it's also time to buy some things for Bismarck and Tirpitz, shall we go together?"
