Elder brother's garrison

Missouri and Iowa walked side by side behind Little White.

"Hmm... I'm finally off work."

As Xiaobai walked, it stretched and yawned while looking at the sun outside the window, sighing softly.

"The admiral's job is really tough."

Iowa followed behind Xiaobai and said with a smile.

"Actually, it's because I had a lot of work today... This job is usually quite relaxing." Xiaobai turned around and smiled at Iohua. "Um, Iohua, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting in the office today."

"I stayed in the office voluntarily, you know," Iowa said, covering her mouth. "After all, I can see the admiral working."

"Where would I find so many places to see?" Xiaobai scratched his head sheepishly.

"Really? I'm certainly honored with my hospitality." Iowa smiled. "If the Admiral doesn't mind, how about I come back for another day tomorrow?"

“…That’s no problem.” Xiaobai turned her head and glanced at the sunset outside the window. “…”

"Oh, right. Iowa."

"Ok?"

"I suddenly remembered something I need to tell you."

"what is the matter?"

"My bathtub is quite big."

"Wow~"

Iowa let out a happy sound.

Chapter 1263 Where Did Taihou Go?

As for why Iowa is so obsessed with bathtubs, Xiaobai, out of curiosity, searched for entries about Iowa on search engines after meeting her.

After ignoring thousands of arguments about who is stronger, Iowa or Yamato, Xiaobai managed to find a piece of information about Iowa and a bathtub in a corner of the search engine.

The entry states that the USS Iowa is said to be the only battleship in human history equipped with a relaxation bathtub.

The USS Iowa was a warship designed for combat, not a cruise ship for leisure. While building a small bathtub on such a large battleship might seem simple, it was, after all, a wartime event. Building a bathtub on a warship during wartime was an extravagant luxury.

Perhaps this is why Iowa has such an obsession with bathtubs.

"Iowa, you really like bathtubs..." Xiaobai looked at Iowa's face, with its bright red lips that were almost pointing to the sky, and couldn't help but sigh.

"A bathtub is a very important item, you know. It greatly improves our quality of life," Iowa said with a smile to Shiro. "Thank you, Admiral."

"You can rest assured, Iowa, our bathtub is big enough to fit two people at the same time."

"really?"

"Really, I used it with Da Feng, and it didn't feel narrow at all."

"Does the Admiral mind taking a bath with the ship girls?"

"I don't mind, we're all girls, aren't we?" Xiaobai turned around and looked at Iahua.

"Oh my... I really didn't expect this..." Iowa's eyes lit up. "Then, Admiral, when we get home, will you show me around the bathroom? Shall we try out the bathtub together?"

“Iowa probably won’t be able to…” Xiaobai smiled. “Didn’t you just say that taking a bath is part of the quality of life? How could I possibly disrupt your quality of life? Don’t worry about me.”

"..." Iowa.

Iowa never imagined that he would one day trip up himself.

In an atmosphere where Iowa suddenly became depressed for some reason.

Little White took Iowa and Missouri back to the Bismarck family home.

“Iowa, this is our home.” Standing at the door of Bismarck’s house, Little White took out his key and said to Iowa, “Um, the rooms inside are all connected, so although it looks like three houses from the outside, it’s actually one house inside, so it’s super big. Remember to ask Hood and the others to give you the key after we go inside.”

"Understood," Iowa nodded.

"Alright, let's go in then." Xiaobai found Bismarck's house key in the keychain, turned the doorknob, and led the two people behind him inside.

Just as I pushed open the door to the Bismarck house.

Before Xiaobai could even take a good look at the house, a loud, brutal electronic music blasted out from the living room and bombarded him.

"Waaah..." Little White shrank back.

That's the right voice.

It's obvious that Bismarck isn't home.

Tirpitz turned the game music volume up to the maximum.

Amidst the music that sounded like a tidal wave, Xiaobai walked towards the living room.

really.

As soon as Xiaobai entered the living room, he saw Tirpitz, who had changed into a typical otaku outfit, right where the TV was.

Tirpitz sat cross-legged in front of the television, several opened bags of potato chips and cola beside her, a few chip crumbs still clinging to her lips. Expressionless, Tirpitz crunched the controller, and the little figures on the television, under her control, were pressing the characters on the other side of the screen to the ground and rubbing them wildly.

Bai Ying carefully sat cross-legged next to Tirpitz, like a child seeing something new for the first time, staring intently at the characters flying amidst various exciting special effects on the television screen.

—It's necessary to mention this here.

Bai Ying, who looks like a child, loves like a child, and seems like a child no matter how you look at her, is actually an old woman who is over five hundred years old.

This old woman was brought to live with Xiaobai's family because of her special status.

The clanging and banging sounds came from the kitchen.

"Who's back?" Hood poked half his body out of the kitchen, carrying an iron shovel. "Ah, it's Little White."

"Hood, good afternoon! I'm back."

“Senior Hood (Sister).” Missouri and Iowa, who were behind Xiaobai, bowed to Hood.

"Alright, alright, no need for so much formality with me." Hood smiled at Missouri and Iowa, then looked around somewhat awkwardly. "Didn't that German ship crew come back with you?"

"Uh... Bismarck? No, no..."

"Tsk, where did that dead cat run off to..." Hood muttered to himself, biting his thumbnail.

"...Hood, is there something you need from Bismarck?"

"Cook, cook!" Hu De looked at Xiao Bai with a helpless expression, waving the spatula in the air. "Who's going to cook if she doesn't come back? Am I supposed to cook? I'm so worried!"

"Uh... Hu, isn't Hu De a very good cook...?"

"All I can do is make desserts!"

"Hey...but Hood, you weren't doing so well on your own before...so what did you usually eat?"

"Bread for breakfast, chicken for lunch, and bread and chicken for dinner." Hood pushed up his shiny glasses. "I can make that for you if you don't mind."

"..." Xiaobai remained silent.

As expected, one shouldn't have too high expectations for the cooking skills of British ship girls.

"Ding-dong-dong-boom-boom-" Just then, another strange sound came from behind Hu De.

"Aaaaah, Hood! The plate, the plate is broken again!" Wisconsin's voice came from the kitchen. "The gas stove is burning so brightly!"

"Turn off the heat, turn it to the right, to the right, to the right!" Hu De shouted twice into the kitchen, leaning against the wall.

"Ding-dong-dong————"

"Boom boom boom—"

Even worse sounds came from the kitchen.

"Wisconsin is in the kitchen too..." Xiaobai looked at the kitchen awkwardly.

"Admiral, let me go help Senior Hood." Missouri rolled up his sleeves, revealing his fair arms, and smiled at Xiaobai.

"Okay! Thank you for your help!" Xiaobai said gratefully. "I feel relieved to have you here!"

"Sister Iowa, can you help me?" Missouri asked Iowa with a smile.

Iowa smiled and said, "Okay."

Missouri led Iowa to the kitchen.

“Senior Hood, if you don’t mind, please let Missouri…”

"It's you, it's you, my culinary god! Little White's nutrition tonight depends on you!" Hood, a ship girl who had also tasted Missouri's cooking, pulled Missouri and Iowa into the kitchen with a touching expression.

Xiao Bai stood there, watching the kitchen gradually return to normal after Missouri joined in, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Bai looked down at the living room.

In the living room, the several Deepsea women who had been unconscious in the Admiral's office had woken up. On the sofa at the back of the living room, Deepsea Tirpitz was sketching something while holding a sketchbook. Deepsea Bismarck sat beside her, quietly looking at Deepsea Tirpitz's sketchbook. Next to them, Pachina seemed to be interested in Deepsea Tirpitz's sketchbook as well. She propped herself up on her arm, her golden eyes fixed on Deepsea Tirpitz's paintbrush.

Xiao Bai didn't disturb them, but quietly sat down next to Bai Ying, who was sitting in front of the TV.

"Bai Ying, good afternoon."

"Eek!" Bai Ying suddenly heard Xiao Bai's voice. Startled, she jumped to her feet and stood timidly before Xiao Bai like a little maid, head bowed, responding fearfully, "You...you're back..."

It seems that Bai Ying's attitude towards him has been subtly changing ever since they went on the expedition together last time.

Xiao Bai looked at Bai Ying with a strange expression.

"Bai Ying, sit down."

"Yes Yes!"

"Don't be so nervous, I'm not going to eat you." Xiao Bai joked with Bai Ying, trying to ease her mood, and took Bai Ying's small hand.

But for some reason.

After listening to Xiaobai's joke.

Bai Ying turned pale with fright.

Looking at Bai Ying's face, Xiao Bai suddenly began to wonder if he lacked a sense of humor.

"Relax, relax." Xiaobai patted Baiying's hand.

Bai Ying nodded nervously, her nose sweating as she stared at Xiao Bai holding her hand.

"Cough cough." Xiao Bai released Bai Ying's hand.

Bai Ying finally let out a slight sigh of relief, withdrew her hand, and felt much more relaxed.

"...Um, Bai Ying." Xiao Bai scratched her head, thought for a moment, and then asked, "What do you think of my home?"

"Your home?" Bai Ying murmured softly.

"Ah."

"..." Bai Ying turned her head, glanced at Tirpitz playing games beside her, then at the roaring, blazing kitchen, and finally at the three Deep Sea Deans sitting quietly on the sofa, "..."

Bai Ying touched the back of her hand.

"The abyssal dean and the ship girls are getting along harmoniously... This is the first time I've ever seen such a strange place..."

"Ah...that's true." Xiaobai smiled.

“…It’s fine,” Bai Ying added.

"I see." Xiaobai nodded twice, then looked around the room. "Actually, this room was very small at first. It was just me, Tirpitz, and Bismarck. Usually, Bismarck wasn't home, so it was just me and Tirpitz in the room."

"..." Bai Ying.

Xiao Bai stopped talking after saying that.

She silently looked around the living room.

The room, after three expansions, is now completely different from what it used to be.

The living room is very large.

However, because more people are living here, it now feels more crowded and cramped than when Xiaobai and Tirpitz were the only two people in the living room.

Xiao Bai suddenly smiled at Bai Ying: "Bai Ying."

"Huh?? What, what's the matter..."

"Please give me your guidance." Xiao Bai extended her hand to Bai Ying.

"???" Bai Ying stared blankly at Xiao Bai's hand.
