Elder brother's garrison

"Is it your favorite?" Xiaobai asked again.

Fubuki was taken aback, and somewhat flusteredly opened her fist, counting her five fingers as she didn't know what to do.

"My number one favorite in the world! Changchun's favorite person is the Admiral!" Changchun quickly replied.

"Fubuki... Fubuki loves the Admiral the most too! Just like she loves Shirayuki, Hatsuyuki, and Miyuki! She loves him the most in the world!" Fubuki hurriedly raised her hand, as if afraid of falling behind Nagaharu.

"I see. You'll be very sad if I get hit by a missile, won't you?"

Changchun and Chuixue shrank back, lowered their heads and nodded.

"Look, isn't this your punishment? Missiles are very powerful weapons, and you must carefully consider the consequences before using them. If someone gets hurt because of this, then the person who likes that person will be very sad. Since you like me, you should be able to understand the feeling of sadness, right?"

Chuixue and Changchun nodded hurriedly, their eyes brimming with tears.

Do you want this feeling to appear in other people's hearts?

"I don't want that..."

"Hmm, so will you dare to make the same mistake again in the future?"

"I won't dare, I won't dare, I won't dare..." Chuixue and Changchun shook their heads like rattles.

Xiaobai smiled at the two destroyers: "Well, I'll observe you for a while then."

Fubuki and Nagaharu were stunned for a moment, then looked at Shiro: "Admiral... have you forgiven us?"

"It's for observation only," Xiaobai said with a smile, opening her arms to Fubuki and Changchun.

If you do something wrong, you should indeed be punished accordingly.

However, if the offenders truly recognize their mistakes and sincerely repent, Xiaobai, as the victim, wouldn't mind forgiving them.

Changchun and Chuixue stared at Xiaobai with her arms outstretched towards them for a long time before they realized that Xiaobai had forgiven them.

In an instant, large tears welled up in the destroyer's eyes, and Changchun and Fubuki ran into Xiaobai's arms while crying.

"Waaaaah... Admiral, I was wrong... I'll never do it again..."

"I'm so sorry, Admiral... Waaaaah..."

Little Bai looked down at the two little heads rubbing against its belly and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Repent sincerely and become a good destroyer in the future," Xiaobai said.

"Thank you, Admiral!"

"I'll only forgive you this once."

"Yes!"

"If you make another mistake, I'll send you to Lexington for discipline," Xiaobai laughed.

"Eek!!!" Fubuki and Nagaharu's faces turned pale instantly.

Chapter 924 Don't Ask, Just Tell Me About High Technology

Actually, Xiaobai was quite glad that Fubuki and Changchun had shot the missile at him.

After all, due to various strange reasons, his defenses were relatively high, so ordinary missiles could not harm him.

Moreover, if the missile had hit them, it would have been a good lesson for Fubuki and Changchun.

Xiaobai touched Chuixue and Changchun's terrified faces and smiled helplessly.

Fortunately, there aren't that many "what ifs" in this world.

After calming their panicked emotions, Changchun and Fubuki were escorted out of the office by Xiaobai. Fubuki, the third sister who had been waiting outside the door, finally felt relieved and rushed over to them. The five destroyers embraced and wept, and finally left together.

"Phew—" Watching Fubuki and Nagaharu leave, Shiro breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back on the sofa.

"Xiao Bai, you've worked hard." Lexington handed Xiao Bai a cup of tea.

"Thank you." Xiaobai took the teacup. "Lexington, will you be angry if I don't punish them?"

“Hmm—I thought you would at least deduct their allowance for two years.” Lexington pondered for a moment, “But considering that they are both good kids who have never done anything bad before and this was not intentional, I will listen to you.”

Little White smiled at Lexington and then turned to the other side.

The Prince of Wales sat on the other side of Little White, his expression calm and serious, his eyes slightly dim.

Ah, speaking of which, the Prince of Wales, who is being lifted up high, seems to be deeply affected by the incident of Little White being shelled.

"Prince of Wales".

"..." The Prince of Wales looked at Xiaobai with a complicated expression.

"Can you play that game with me again next time?"

"..."

"The view is much wider from higher up."

"..."

The Prince of Wales looked at Little White silently and nodded with some emotion.

At this moment.

A familiar voice came from the office door.

"Excuse me, is everything alright now?"

The ship girls who had previously come to the newbie naval base seeking training were now standing by the door, looking at the little white ship inside with complicated expressions.

They had been standing outside all afternoon.

"Ah, is this the ship girl from 0086?" Lexington greeted the ship girls with a smile. "I'm so sorry, you all laughed at me for what happened before. Please come in and have a seat."

The ship girls looked at each other, then swallowed hard, lowered their heads, and walked into the office.

Xiaobai and Prince of Wales stood up from the sofa to make room for the ship girls.

The six ship girls sat down on the sofa one by one. Lexington poured a cup of tea for each of them. The ship girls held the teacup with both hands, their movements a little stiff.

After pouring tea for the ship girls, Lexington remained silent.

The captain ship girl held a teacup, looking at Lexington with some nervousness.

The captain ship girl's gaze gradually shifted to Xiaobai, glancing at the X-shaped bandage on Xiaobai's forehead.

The captain ship girl's expression turned a little strange when she thought about how that place had been bombarded by missiles.

"...Um..." The captain ship girl looked at Xiaobai with a strange expression, "Excuse me..."

"Um?"

"Aren't you hurt?"

"You're injured," Xiaobai said, pointing to the band-aid on her forehead.

"..." The captain ship girl was a little embarrassed. "Uh... no, mainly, um, how exactly do you manage to withstand that?"

This naive ship girl was completely unaware of the profound truth that sometimes the more you know, the more dangerous it becomes.

If Xiaobai hadn't explicitly stated that she didn't like these ship girls, Lexington could have locked them up in the naval base to keep Richelieu company, based solely on that statement.

With a thud, Lexington placed the teapot in front of the ship girls.

"Uh, um... if it's not convenient to say, then... just pretend I didn't ask..." The captain ship girl hesitated slightly, "Well, it's getting late... so we'll..."

"Are you talking about the time my admiral defended against the missile?" Lexington suddenly asked the captain ship girl with a smile.

"..."

"Sigh... I was hoping to keep this secret, but I didn't expect you to find out so quickly." Lexington muttered to himself helplessly.

Seeing Lexington's melancholy appearance, the captain ship girl suddenly had a very ominous premonition.

"Uh, well, how about we pretend I didn't ask anything..." the captain ship girl asked tentatively.

"Actually, the reason my admiral was able to withstand the missiles is quite simple." Lexington, completely disregarding the captain's words, began to mutter to herself, "You know, being an admiral is a dangerous job. If you walk by the river long enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet. My admiral has encountered his fair share of kidnappings and other troubles... So... to protect himself..."

Lexington's enthusiastic explanation, which she was completely absorbed in, suddenly made the captain ship girl a little flustered.

She always felt that what Lexington was doing now was somewhat like the confession of a final boss facing an ignorant extra who had come to him.

Then, after the boss finishes his confession, he might just turn on you.

Wow, no way, this is so real.

I'm just a ship girl.

This feeling that I'm about to die after listening to this is getting stronger and stronger...

"Ah, no, wait a minute, I, I won't ask anymore, okay... I... I want to go home..." The captain ship girl quickly raised her hand, saying with a hint of tears in her eyes.

“High-tech,” Lexington said with a smile.

"……what?"

“High technology,” Lexington repeated.

"..." The captain ship girl was stunned. "High-tech?"

“Yes,” Lexington said with a smile.

"..." The captain ship girl was stunned for a long time. She and Lexington stared at each other for a long while before she suddenly realized what was happening and slapped her thigh hard. "Ah! So that's how it is!!!"

The captain ship girl jumped up excitedly from her seat, looking at Lexington with an exaggerated "I see!" expression: "As expected, it's the omnipotent science that protected your admiral, isn't it!"

“You got it right!” Lexington smiled and held out her hands.

The captain ship girl also stretched out her hands and gave Lexington a happy high-five: "Now I understand! As expected, the world's number one admiral is amazing, hahaha!"

"You can't accept it all at once, can you?"

"It's okay, I accepted it in no time, hahaha—" The captain ship girl and Lexington held hands, looking at each other with expressions of deep emotion.

The captain ship girl, who seemed to have suddenly realized something and opened up a new world, burst into tears.

Sure enough, it's high-tech!

It's the power of science!

Only science can explain everything we see!

It must be some kind of all-powerful application of quantum mechanics, right?

Indeed, only science and wisdom could save this adorable admiral's life from the missile barrage! He possesses defensive capabilities far exceeding those of ship girls!

I was overthinking it, hahaha!

Science is truly the best, hahaha!

Hahahaha, what a load of rubbish!!!

The captain ship girl roared inwardly, wishing she could conjure a bag of salt from her palm. While complaining and roaring in her mind, she slammed the salt bag onto the table to vent her anger.

Am I a three-year-old?!

Don't blame science every time something goes wrong! Science works hard too! Even science has its fundamental principles!

What the hell is quantum mechanics?!

A woolen face catching a missile!

The tech tree is crying!

You're saying that missile was actually a firework? Your admiral went to Shaolin Temple to learn Iron Head Kung Fu, that's more convincing than that, damn it!

What the heck is this defense that's even more durable than ship girls?!

Is your admiral's forehead made of diamonds?!

Using science to catch missiles is a hundred years too early, you know?!

If this thing were really high-tech, all the ship girls in the world would be out of a job long ago!

Give our ship girls some face!

The captain ship girl's heart was screaming.

However, there was nothing they could do.

Under the watchful eyes of Xiaobai and the five bewildered ship girls, the captain ship girl and Lexington reached an agreement, happily shaking each other's little hands like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, laughing heartily.

What can the captain ship girl do? She's desperate too.
