"I see, I'm relieved." Montana nodded and withdrew his hand.
“If you have time, I’ll take you back to the naval base to meet the other people.” Xiaobai said to Montana with a smile. “Hmm… right, Jinan and Project 24 should also be taken along, they haven’t met them yet. As for Jean Bart… I’ve taken her back a few times before, she’s very attached to her sister, so I won’t take her this time.”
“Speaking of meeting people…Admiral, when I was fighting them just now, I think I heard them mention the name of a ship girl.” Montana asked Shiro, “Was it Missouri?”
"Yes, there is such a person. What's wrong?"
"Is she also a ship girl fighting against my missile force?"
"She even cooked for you."
“…Ah.” Montana paused, somewhat surprised, “So it was her?”
"She heard you were back and was probably preparing food for you at the mess hall, which is why she hasn't shown up. You should be able to find her there. Oh, right, speaking of which, Iowa, Wisconsin, and New Jersey aren't here either. They're probably all helping out at the mess hall." Little White said to Montana with a smile. "Although they're not your class of battleships, they're quite close, practically sisters. I think you two will get along very well."
“Since the Admiral has said so, then we have no choice but to go and meet him.” Meng Da stood up, smiled and nodded at Xiao Bai, “Then, Admiral, I’ll take my leave first.”
"Have a safe trip!" Little White waved.
Montana took two steps outside, almost out of Xiaobai's sight, when he suddenly stopped and looked back at Xiaobai.
"Admiral——"
"what's wrong?"
"Where is the cafeteria—?"
“Over there—” Xiaobai pointed in the direction of the cafeteria.
Montana then gave Xiaobai an OK sign from a distance before leaving Xiaobai's sight.
Xiao Bai turned his head to the side, looking in the direction where Montana's figure disappeared, and smiled slightly.
Montana is surprisingly easy to get along with. She also takes information from the Abyssal Deans much faster than most of the new ship girls who have joined the naval base.
Perhaps this is the ability of the strong to accept things.
good thing.
Good thing.
Xiao Bai patted his leg.
On the training field, Jinan and Jean Bart, who had been thoroughly thrashed by Montana, lay on the shore. It seemed that the battle had really exhausted them. Richelieu, dressed in a maid outfit, knelt down beside them, fastening their quick-repair devices, fanning them, and feeding them.
Xiao Bai got up, patted his bottom, and walked to the edge of the training field, next to Jinan and Jeanbart.
"Jinan, Jeanbart, thank you for your hard work." Xiaobai squatted down next to the two ship girls and said to them with a smile.
"Admiral—" Jean Bart said pitifully as soon as he saw Little White coming over, "You promise me one thing, please take away the spiritual power from Montana's body!"
"What's wrong? Do you want to play a prank on her?"
"I...I...I've been beaten up like this by her!" Jean Bart pouted, sitting up like a duck on the ground, pointing angrily at his body, which had been restored to its original shine by the rapid repair device. "Look, look, look..."
"This can be considered a kind of welcome ceremony for newbie naval bases..." Xiaobai said with a smile, cupping her cheeks. "After all, we just defeated Montana in such a despicable way, so we have to let her vent her anger... So we'll have to make you feel a little guilty today."
Xiao Bai reached out and touched Jean Bart's top hat.
Barton immediately pouted, raised her hand to take off her hat, and turned her neatly combed hair and head toward Little White.
"Admiral, touch here, touch here!"
Little White touched Jean Bart's head.
Jeanbart immediately showed a comfortable expression, like a kitten being petted.
"Gurgle gurgle... For the sake of the Admiral... gurgle gurgle... This time, I'll... gurgle... let her go... gurgle..."
While tickling Jeanbart, Xiaobai glanced at Jinan, who was lying on the ground.
Although Montana wanted to vent her anger on the despicable missile fleet, she wouldn't bully a little girl like Jinan... So in the battle just now, most of Montana's artillery fire was aimed at Jean Bart, while Jinan just clung to Jean Bart and fled with her, so the pressure on her side was much less.
Xiao Bai patted Jinan's butt.
"Alas!"
Jinan reacted immediately, covering her buttocks and sitting up. "Admiral...you can't touch me like that!"
"Why are you being shy at a time like this..." Xiaobai said with a smile, "Alright, Montana is gone, you don't need to pretend anymore."
"Huh? They've already left?"
"I sent her to Missouri."
"Wow! Admiral! Such noble character!"
The two ship girls immediately spoke to Xiaobai with admiration.
"No need to be so polite about this," Xiaobai said with a smile. "Speaking of which, your three special ship girls' activities have ended, and I don't have anything to do right now. In a few days, I'll take you and Project 24 back to the naval base for a visit?"
"The garrison headquarters?" Jinan pointed to his lips with his finger.
"Yes, that's perfect. I'll have you check with Jinan to see if there are any ship girls with missile-related qualifications in the naval base," Xiaobai said.
“Absolutely!” Jinan nodded immediately, smiling at Xiaobai, “I haven’t been back to the naval base yet! Admiral, take me with you!”
"Ah... I'll just leave it at that, I'll stay with my sister!" Just as Xiaobai expected, Jeanbart hugged Richelieu, who was kneeling beside her, and desperately buried her head in Richelieu's chest, causing Richelieu to panic and blush.
"Admiral Lu Lin, I'm so sorry..." Richelieu's neat maid outfit was being messed up by Jean Bart, and the buttons on her chest were being pushed open by her. Richelieu quickly pressed her chest and apologized somewhat awkwardly.
"Richelio, how's your vacation here?" Xiaobai asked.
“…Very, very leisurely, thank you Admiral Lu Lin.” Richelieu’s bright eyes were lowered, and his fair cheeks were flushed.
"I'm glad you like it." Xiaobai smiled at Richelieu, then patted Jinan on the shoulder. "Then, I, Montana, Project 24, and you can go back together with Jinan!"
"Hey—are you going back with Montana?!" Jinan's shoulders trembled.
"It's alright, Montana isn't petty. Besides, you all felt it in the fight just now, right? She wasn't using her full strength at all; she was just playing around with you," Xiaobai said with a smile.
"Ah... well, that's true..." Jinan said softly, "Then, Admiral, when are we going back...?"
"Hmm...we'll have to wait until Nia, Lianlian, Chaoda, and the others get back..."
Xiaobai thought for a while, and just as she was about to speak, she suddenly raised an eyebrow and paused for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, Xiaobai turned around and looked in the direction of the cafeteria, her face showing surprise.
"What's wrong, Admiral?" Jinan asked curiously.
"...It's really amazing how someone just arrived like that." Xiaobai muttered to herself, then turned around with a smile and said to everyone, "I just sensed the aura of the Super Yamato."
"Huh? Doesn't that mean..."
"Well, if Chaoda and Lianlian come back on their own initiative... that means that Nia and Lianlian have finally finished the world ranking tournament and returned!"
Xiao Bai stood up, looking expectantly in the direction of the cafeteria.
……
at the same time.
Near the cafeteria.
Inside the food storage warehouse.
A black vortex portal appeared out of thin air.
The portal opened, and one after another, tall and voluptuous figures, carrying a hint of gunpowder smoke, emerged from it.
Suddenly, the empty food warehouse was filled with a touch of color.
"Wow----"
The first person to step out of the portal was Nia Vineto, who had long, cascading silver-gray hair.
It had been a long time since I last saw Veneto, and there were some noticeable changes in his demeanor.
It was an aura that came from years of honing skills on the battlefield, gradually becoming adept at coming and going as one pleases.
Veneto breathed in the air around her, raised her hands deeply, and stretched happily.
"Finally... I'm back!"
Chapter 3080 The King Returns
Feeling the icy air rushing towards her once again, Veneto of the Nia family couldn't help but slightly raise her pointed chin, revealing an expression of utter relaxation and bliss.
"Um----"
Veneto stretched and yawned, swaying his upper body back and forth several times, his heavy gray hair dancing with the movement.
"Ah... out of the eight chapters, the air in the eighth chapter is definitely the freshest. It's cool, refreshing, and has the aroma of vegetables and fruits." Veneto put down his hand and said to himself with satisfaction, "It's so good, so good."
“Veneto, you’re smelling the food warehouse; of course it will smell of fruit.”
Just as Veneto was giving his homecoming speech, a refreshing laugh suddenly came from behind him.
Veneto looked back.
A tall woman with long, emerald-green hair emerged from the black vortex behind her. The woman smiled and joked with Veneto as she held onto the edge of the vortex and stepped onto the floor.
“Littorio, you have no romance at all,” Veneto said to the woman. “This is our first time home in so long.”
"Are you looking forward to going home, or to seeing someone here again?" Littorio asked with a smile.
"Li, Littorio!" Veneto immediately panicked, his face turning slightly red. "What, what are you saying..."
"just kidding."
Littorio took in Veneto's reaction, but she didn't say anything more. She just let out a sigh of relief, put one hand on her waist, and looked around.
"Hmm... it really has been a while since we've been back. Speaking of which, how long has it been since we left Chapter Eight?"
“Hmm… all I did when I was away was train or compete. I barely had any rest. I was just drifting through life…” Veneto listened to Littorio’s words. She slowly regained her composure, but soon, as if recalling some unbearable memory, she lowered her head with a pained expression. “I… I don’t know how long I’ve been gone… it feels like… a month? Or two months? Three months? My memories are all blurry…”
"It's alright, sisters, at least we're back now."
A gentle, soothing voice sounded beside Veneto and Littorio.
The two turned their heads and saw Roma, dressed in a white evening gown and with long, curly black hair, standing to one side, looking at them with a faint smile.
“Rome is right.” Veneto, hearing Rome’s words, finally smiled with emotion, raising her hands to her chest to cover them. “No matter what, we’ve finally ended this ordeal, accomplished the first step of the goal set for us by Admiral Lu Lin, and returned to Chapter Eight!”
"And you'll finally get to see Admiral Lu Lin again, right?" Littorio asked with a smile.
“Littorio!” Veneto’s cheeks, which had just calmed down, flushed red again. She stamped her foot and said to Littorio, “I, I’m your sister! Don’t always joke about your sister.”
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. Actually, I wasn't talking about you." Littorio smiled gently, turning to look at Rome. "Rome, right?"
"I really want to see Admiral Lu Lin again." Roma gently patted his chest and said with a faint smile, "I am very grateful for her help, and I believe others feel the same way."
“Look how honest Rome is,” Littorio said to Veneto.
"Hmm..." Veneto blushed, lowered his head, and steam rose from his forehead.
Littorio couldn't help but smile as he looked at Veneto.
"Speaking of which, what about the empire?"
"When she just stepped into the portal, she seemed to be with Taihou and Cleveland..."
"You must be lost, right?"
"How could that be? It's not like it's the first time we've used Miss Super Daiwa's portal."
The three ship girls talked and looked around briefly.
Soon, the three ship girls' eyes fell on the nearby fruit and vegetable crate.
The three ship girls were squatting in front of the fruit and vegetable box, whispering to each other about the ingredients inside.
"Fresh cucumbers are so delicious."
Taihou's voice came from among the three of them.
Da Feng, with a half-eaten cucumber in her mouth, pressed her entire body against the box. One of her hands was on the outside of the box, while her other snow-white arm was rummaging inside. With a gentle lift of her slender wrist, she picked out two bright green cucumbers that were still covered in water droplets.
"Empire, Cleveland, come on, have one too."
Da Feng handed the cucumbers she had taken out to the two people next to her.
Cleveland stretched out his hands to catch the cucumber.
The Empire, which was squatting to the side, opened its mouth, bit down, and began to gnaw on it with a crunching sound.
"Taihou, what are you doing here stealing food?" Veneto walked up to Taihou and the other two and said, "This is the food warehouse for cooking for everyone in the naval base. Every ingredient has to be recorded and has usage quotas. If people just eat and take whatever they want, the naval base's consumption plan will be in chaos."
