Elder brother's garrison

"Ringo-neechan is so nice!"

"With the start of this Holy Construction Day event, there are many high-ranking naval bases in Chapter 8," Ringo said gently to Shiro. "Including the top 100 admirals on the World Admiral Ranking... even the top ten admirals are here. They are not ordinary admirals; most of them have many powerful forces. With these people participating in the event, there will be many eyes watching us. Even Mu Yu and I will find it inconvenient to always favor you. So, apart from necessary situations, you will need to work hard on your own most of the time to participate in the event."

Seeing Ringo's gentle demeanor, Xiaobai couldn't contain his joy and nodded happily.

While Ringo's words ostensibly express "we can't always favor the newbie naval base," they actually imply "even under the noses of the world's top 100 admirals, we can still show you some favoritism."

look!

Compared to Mu Yu, who is either always acting like a hooligan or on her way to acting like a hooligan, Ringo is much more reliable!

That's why Shiro likes Ringo so much!

After all, who wouldn't like such a gentle, beautiful, and considerate older sister who always puts them first?

"Ringo-neechan, you don't need to be so troubled," Shiro said happily to Ringo. "I'm really powerful now! I'm so happy to hear you say that."

"Hmm." Ringo nodded. She looked at Xiaobai's face, thought for a while, and then said to Xiaobai, "Speaking of which, do you remember what I mentioned last time about taking on a disciple a while ago?"

"Oh, I remember." Xiaobai nodded.

"After Chapter 8 was finished, I called my apprentice over to help," Lin Qing said to Xiao Bai. "She's currently helping out in the lobby on the first floor. I'll have her come find you after you go down. You two can get to know each other better. If you need my help in the future and don't want others to see you and gossip, you can just go to the lobby on the first floor and find her directly. If she knows, then I know too."

"Oh! Sister Ringo's apprentice, right! I understand!" Xiaobai nodded with a smile.

"I have nothing more to say." Ringo smiled at Shiro.

"Thank you, Ringo-neechan!" Xiaobai clenched her fist and said earnestly, "I will work hard and never let you down!"

"..." Ringo nodded with a smile.

"Then, Sister Ringo, I'll go familiarize myself with Chapter Eight first. I'll come back to find you after I'm familiar with this city!" Xiaobai got up from the sofa.

"Aren't we waiting for Mu Yu to come back?" Ringo asked.

"Oh, I don't want to wait for him." As soon as Xiaobai heard the name Mu Yu, she made a face in the direction of Mu Yu's office. "What if he comes back and pesters me for Miss Lu Ming's contact information?"

"..." Ringo smiled.

Shiro and the other ship girls said goodbye to Ringo, and then one by one entered the elevator and left the special floor.

Sitting on the sofa, Ringo first waved at the closed elevator doors, then quietly looked in the direction of the elevator doors for a while before slowly getting up a few minutes later.

Ringo slowly walked to the door of Mu Yu's office.

When Mu Yu first entered the office, there were occasional lewd laughs, but after a few minutes, the office became quiet.

After thinking for a while, Ringo pressed the doorknob and quietly opened the door to Mu Yu's office.

The door opened.

A neat and tidy office was revealed.

Mu Yu was sitting at his desk, bathed in sunlight streaming through the window. He held a square photo frame in his hand, stroking his chin with one hand, looking at the frame with a satisfied smile.

The photo frame in Mu Yu's hand contained the autographed card from earlier.

Protected by a layer of transparent glass, the autographed card shimmers with a brilliant luster like a masterpiece.

Ringo stood quietly by the door for a while.

But Mu Yu seemed completely unaware that Ringo had entered the office.

Looking at Mu Yu's smug expression, a hint of curiosity appeared on Lin Qing's calm face. She then slowly walked up to Mu Yu, leaned close to him, and peeked at the photo frame.

When Ringo suddenly appeared in his field of vision so close, Mu Yu did not react with fear as usual.

This time, Mu Yu's reaction was very calm.

"You're here?!" Mu Yu said with a smile, her eyes fixed on the photo frame.

"Hmm." Ringo raised her head and nodded, then looked away and said slowly to Mu Yu, "This is the first time I've seen you like something so much."

"Hoo hoo..." Mu Yu squinted his eyes, rubbed his chin, and did not refute.

"Do you like the sound of deer that much?" Ringo asked.

"Hmm? Deer Cry?" Mu Yu turned to look at Ringo, with a matter-of-fact expression. "Yeah... it's just a normal liking."

"Then this signature..."

"Oh, you mean this?" Mu Yu smiled knowingly, rubbing his chin as he looked back at the photo frame. "The reason I like this gift so much is because this signature isn't an ordinary signature."

"...?"

Under Ringo's watchful gaze, Mu Yu tossed the photo frame in her hand upwards and then caught it steadily.

"This is the first time Little White Sister has ever given me a gift on her own initiative."

in the air.

Mu Yu's voice was full of relief.

Chapter 2573 An Unexpected Friend

Inside the elevator, Xiaobai suddenly felt a chill and couldn't help but hug her arms and shiver.

"Admiral? What's wrong?" The ship girls around noticed Shiro's unusual attire and quickly asked with concern.

"Ah...no, it's nothing..." Xiaobai gently rubbed her cold arms, then smiled sheepishly at the ship girls, "It's just that I suddenly had a weirdly cheesy feeling just now..."

"Could it be that the Admiral is feeling tired from the long journey these past few days?"

"Sigh... I guess it would have been better to ask Chaoda and Senpai to use teleportation magic after all..."

"My lord, would you like me to help you relieve your fatigue?"

"If you want to relieve fatigue... I heard from the older sister at the naval base that soft breasts have a great stress-relieving effect, you know? Would the Admiral like to try it?"

"If it's an admiral, I... I can do it too..."

"Me! I can do it too! If I were an admiral, I would do my best!"

"And me and me!"

"..."

The ship girls chattered excitedly about Xiaobai, but after a few words, the topic gradually shifted. The remaining ship girls, who were not good at speaking, or the abyssal deans, all fixed their subtle, mysterious gazes on Xiaobai, even if they didn't say anything.

For some reason, Xiaobai suddenly felt a sense of crisis, as if he had fallen into a pack of wolves.

Compared to this sense of crisis, the fleeting feeling of sentimentality is nothing.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm really fine..." Facing the ship girls, Xiaobai quickly waved her hand with a wry smile and explained to them, "That cheesy feeling disappeared immediately, I feel great now, I'm fine."

"Oh...I see." The ship girls looked away with some regret.

Xiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

The elevator slowly drove back to the first floor.

Xiao Bai and his group walked out of the elevator one after another. Outside the elevator, a familiar figure stood gracefully by the wall pillar.

"Miss Divine Eagle!" Little White waved to the figure not far away.

The divine eagle in the distance turned to look at Xiaobai. She slowly walked forward and bowed slightly to Xiaobai and her group.

"Has your meeting with the leader concluded?"

"Yes, it's over." Little White smiled at Divine Eagle. "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting here for so long, Miss Divine Eagle. Thank you for your hard work."

“It’s not hard work.” Divine Eagle shook his head. “It’s just finding a place to stand. For me, it’s no different from resting.”

"Miss Divine Eagle is so humorous..." Xiao Bai chuckled, then looked around, "During the time we went upstairs, did anything go wrong in the lobby?"

In Xiaobai's field of vision.

A small group of admirals had unknowingly gathered in the hall, leaning against the wall and eagerly watching their side.

"Hmm... The admirals who were handling the formalities nearby were all very well-behaved." Shenying nodded. "At first, they were very curious about your identity and wanted to come to me to ask about you."

"Then, Miss Divine Eagle, did you tell them who I am?"

“No,” said the Divine Eagle calmly. “Learning to remain silent at the right time is the first lesson a host learns.”

"Actually, it's not a big deal if you tell them..." Xiaobai smiled.

"Then please choose a suitable time to tell them in person." Divine Eagle nodded.

What a professional receptionist!

Xiao Bai admired Shenying's dedication and her favorability towards her increased by several percentage points.

"Now that the report is complete, may we head outside?" Shenying asked Xiaobai. "I can take you to the nearest ship girl inn or the restaurant district..."

"Oh, sure." Little White nodded enthusiastically, but then suddenly remembered something and gave Divine Eagle an awkward smile. "But Miss Divine Eagle, could you wait a few more minutes for me? I have someone else to see here."

"The person you need to see?"

"Yes, I heard that person is the governor's newly accepted apprentice, in charge of managing things in the lobby on the first floor..."

"..." The Divine Eagle paused, its gaze filled with surprise. "The person you're referring to, could it be...?"

"Little White! Is that Little White?!" Just then, a clear voice interrupted the divine eagle's words, coming from the other end of the hall.

Xiao Bai and Shen Ying both stopped what they were doing and turned their heads to look at the source of the sound.

The sound came from the place that Xiaobai had just been watching, a place where many of the Chapter 8 admirals were gathered.

Right there in the crowd, a delicate, fair hand was waving vigorously in the air, reaching over the shoulders of many tall admirals, desperately trying to attract Xiaobai's attention.

"...Huh?" Little White stared blankly at the small, white hand waving in mid-air. "Could that voice be...?"

"Ah! It really is Xiaobai!" Just then, that clear and delicate cheer rang out again.

Under Xiaobai's gaze, a slender and graceful young woman struggled to squeeze through the gap between the tall admirals.

What appeared in Xiaobai's field of vision was a red-haired female admiral.

　The red-haired girl had delicate features, smooth red hair, and a faint blush on her fair face due to excitement. She ran excitedly towards Xiaobai, her full chest bouncing up and down like two chubby little white rabbits as she ran.

"Little White! Little White, it's me!" The red-haired girl waved her arms happily. "Do you remember me?"

“Sir, if she is someone you don’t know, I can help you push her away,” the Divine Eagle said, turning its head to Little White.

"Um, thank you, Miss Divine Eagle... but no need." Little White looked at the red-haired girl running over. After her initial surprise, she also showed a smile as if she were seeing a close friend. She turned her head to Divine Eagle and shook her head, saying with a smile, "This is my old friend."

"Your friend..." the Divine Eagle exclaimed in surprise.

Just then, the red-haired girl had run to within a few steps of Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai quickly stepped forward, stretched out his arms to the red-haired girl, and called out affectionately.

"Nia! It's been so long!"

"noob!!!"

The red-haired girl and Xiaobai finally leaned against each other, holding each other's hands tightly, their fingers interlaced, and happily jumped up and down.

Xiao Bai never expected that he would see his close friend Nia in Chapter 8.

"Little White, you still remember me! I'm so touched!" Nia was moved to tears when she saw Little White correctly say her name. She hugged Little White tightly, "Waaah!"

"Nia, what are you saying... It's only been less than a year since we last met..." Xiaobai felt the intense touch against her chest and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Human memory isn't so bad that it would forget a good friend in just a year."

"But, but... I'm still so happy!" Nia let go of Little White, wiping away her tears while giving Little White a satisfied smile. "I can finally see you again, Little White! I'm so happy!"

"I never expected to meet you here..." Xiaobai looked Nia up and down with a sigh. "Nia, this is Chapter Eight..."

"Yes! I tried my best to see Xiaobai!" Nia wiped away her tears and nodded repeatedly. "I tried so hard!"

Seeing Nia's finally satisfied expression, Xiaobai fell silent for a moment.

In Xiaobai's memory, the last time he saw Nia, she had just finished the second chapter...

To my utter surprise, a year has passed.

She actually appeared in Chapter Eight...

Does this mean that Nia is now an admiral who has cleared Chapter 7?

Good heavens, what an astonishing rate of improvement... This can't be explained simply by hard work...

What exactly did Nia go through this past year...?

Xiao Bai silently observed Nia's expression, and couldn't help but raise her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Nia, thank you for your hard work," Xiaobai said to Nia.
