Veneto agreed, his mind unconsciously flashing to Lexington's all-encompassing bosom.
Ok……
Say something.
Putting personal feelings aside, looking at those things can indeed be pleasing, especially considering the close relationship between the Admiral and Lexington, which is like that of a mother and daughter. They probably just experienced the warmth of those breasts up close...
As Veneto thought of this, he couldn't help but lower his head.
Looking down, the wide field of vision allows you to see directly the black leather boots on your feet.
Unfortunately, the hardware requirements for this kind of warmth are too high, and Veneto felt he couldn't provide it for Xiaobai.
A subtle sense of defeat resonated within Veneto.
"Sigh..." Veneto sighed, rubbing his forehead.
"Hey, what's wrong with Veneto?" Little White quickly came up.
"No, it's probably because the weather has gotten cooler recently, and some people are experiencing some discomfort." Veneto looked towards Rome in the distance with a touch of melancholy.
Rome, running in the distance, sensed Veneto's gaze and glanced at her instinctively as she ran.
Then Rome saw Veneto looking in their direction with an unusual "melancholy girl's gaze."
"Alas?!"
As Rome was running, he suddenly felt an unprecedented panic rise from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
Oh my god!
I've never seen the boss make such a scary expression in my entire life!
Could it be... could it be that the boss actually discovered that I've been slacking off and haven't been using my full strength all along?
Damn it, how did the boss find out?!
Thinking of this, Rome disregarded her doubts and quickened her pace, waving her arms several times toward Veneto.
"Boss, I didn't slack off! I didn't slack off!!!"
In an instant, Rome in the distance became more than two or three times faster.
Behind Veneto, Iniesta smiled and waved to Rome in the distance on the lawn.
"If Rome were to participate in the Olympics, winning the gold medal would be a sure thing," Xiaobai said with a smile to Veneto, putting down his hand.
“Hmm————” Veneto touched his chest with one hand, while absentmindedly playing with the pointer in the other.
"Oh, right, Veneto, there's something I need to tell you."
"Huh? What's the matter?"
"Lexington just told me to hand over my agent's job to her."
"It makes sense."
"Then, Miss Luming will be staying with us for a while, and I will be responsible for taking care of her at home."
"Understandable."
"But then again, if I keep sticking to Miss Luming's side, even she'll find me annoying." Xiaobai held up a finger to Veneto. "So, I'd like to go out with you tomorrow, Veneto, is that alright?"
"what?"
Veneto was taken aback and turned to look at Little White.
The 2264th ship girl star
Xiao Bai smiled and made his suggestion to Veneto.
Upon hearing Xiaobai's words, Veneto froze on the spot, staring at Xiaobai with a look of utter surprise.
"what?"
Veneto only gave Xiaobai a one-word reply.
"Oh... Veneto, is it inconvenient for you here?" Seeing Veneto's reaction, Xiaobai lowered her hand with some regret. "That's alright. If it's inconvenient, you don't have to force yourself. We can find another time..."
Before Xiaobai could finish speaking...
Realizing what was happening, Veneto quickly strode forward, grabbed Little White's wrist, and shook her head rapidly.
"No, no, it's convenient for me."
"Really?" Xiaobai looked into Veneto's eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. Then she happily clasped her hands together. "That's great! I thought you had something else to do tomorrow when I saw the expression on your face."
“Not entirely… no, just a little surprised.” Veneto lowered her head slightly and ran her fingers through the stray hairs by her ear. “I’m very happy that the Admiral invited me.”
"So Veneto means it's okay, right?"
"Hmm...when should we set the time?"
“Anything is fine with me, Veneto, whenever it’s convenient for you.” Xiaobai nodded with a smile.
"Then let's set it for tomorrow morning."
Veneto nodded as he spoke to Little White.
After finishing his business, Xiaobai said goodbye to Veneto and returned to the villa, leaving Veneto alone on the lawn outside.
A moment later, a small green whirlwind rushed to Veneto's side.
"Big Sister! I, I finished! I finished!" Roma said breathlessly, bent over and supporting herself on her knees, panting heavily. "I still have energy left, so after running, what's the next event?"
"..."
"Sister-in-law?"
"..."
"Big Sister?" Roma straightened up and looked at Veneto with a puzzled expression.
Veneto stood there, frowning and covering his mouth, looking deep in thought.
Roma walked up to Veneto out of curiosity and waved his hand in front of Veneto's eyes.
"Boss...hey...are you there?"
"..."
Veneto completely ignored Roma's actions, remaining in her original posture, lost in thought. It seemed that only her lips were trembling slightly, as if she were talking to herself in a very low voice.
Roma scratched his head, looking at Veneto's lips, and thoughtfully leaned his ear close to them.
Once Rome leaned in, Veneto's whispers became clearer.
"...Should I choose a trench coat and suit...or the office lady outfit I bought recently...or the swimsuit I bought last year..."
"Wouldn't leather boots be a bit too serious... but wouldn't sandals be a bit too frivolous..."
"Would it seem like I'm not taking it seriously if I didn't wear makeup... but would wearing makeup be too much..."
"..."
Veneto muttered to himself, head bowed, with great seriousness.
Rome listened to Veneto's soliloquy and suddenly realized what was going on.
Oh.
So, the boss was choosing her outfit for tomorrow's outing.

When Shiro returned to the villa, the hockey game between Deepsea Yamato and Pachina had come to an end.
The table in the center of the living room was now piled high with ice blocks, almost like a small mountain. Pachina and Deepsea Yamato sat at opposite ends of the ice mountain, their legs crossed.
"Honestly, you've dented the trophy so many times. How am I supposed to hang it in my room now?" Fukami Yamato complained to Pachina, who was pouting beside him, while touching the trophy in his arms with a pained expression.
"Hmph." Pachina snorted softly through her nose, picked up a broken piece of ice from the table, and chewed it.
"I'm telling you, you have to pay for this," Shenhai Yamato said quickly to Pachina, afraid that Pachina would renege on the debt.
Pahcina frowned, raised her hand, and threw her trophy into Yamato's arms.
Shenhai Yamato held up the Pachina trophy as if it were a priceless treasure, and a satisfied smile quickly spread across his face.
The destroyers nearby picked up the ice shards from the table and began to discuss them curiously.
"These ice cubes are amazing, there aren't any air bubbles inside."
"These must be ice blocks made by Pachina using her ship equipment abilities, let me try some... um..." Fubuki picked up a finger-sized ice block and licked it with her tongue.
"How is it, sister? Is it delicious?"
"Hmm! It has absolutely no taste!"
"Yes, yes, it is ice after all."
"But it's delicious!"
"Oh? Really? Let me try!"
"Hey, don't eat that! This ice was made by Pachina using deep-sea ship equipment. Ship girls might get a stomachache from eating it!"
The destroyers quickly huddled together.
"Is there any ice here?" Enterprise ran over with a can of cola. When she saw the mountain of clear ice on the table, she immediately smiled happily. "Oh? There's so much here! Then I won't be polite!"
The man grabbed a handful of ice cubes, tossed them into his Coke cup, and skipped away.
The destroyers watched the company's departing figures, then turned their gazes away, looking at each other.
"Since even the Enterprise Sister ate it... then it should be... safe, right?"
The destroyers reached out and picked up a piece of ice the size of a finger from the iceberg on the table, then stuffed it into their mouths and crunched on it.
"Oh, although it doesn't have much flavor, it's just as delicious as my sister said!"
"It has such a crisp texture."
"I want to eat a smoothie..."
A look of surprise shone in the eyes of the destroyers.
The villa where Xiaobai lives is much more lively now than when he first arrived.
Xiaobai smiled as she looked at the iceberg in the center of the living room, her gaze sweeping around the living room filled with ship girls and the Deep Sea Dean.
Just then, the ship girls in the living room finally noticed Shiro's presence.
The ship girls all turned around and looked at the main entrance.
"Eh? Admiral, how did you get in from outside?"
"Admiral, weren't you upstairs treating Sister Luming's illness?"
"How is Miss Luming doing now?"
Facing the curious gazes of the ship girls, Xiaobai smiled.
"Ah... Miss Luming, she..." Xiaobai was about to speak when she suddenly caught a glimpse of two figures emerging from around the corner of the staircase leading to the second floor.
Shikamei, now dressed in loose clothing, slowly walked down with Mutsu's help.
Lu Ming was barefoot, her slender, white feet stepping on the wooden stairs, her smooth calves tracing a graceful and serene curve that disappeared into the hem of her long dress.
"Ah, Miss Luming is over there."
Xiaobai pointed towards the stairs and spoke to the ship girls.
Upon hearing this, the ship girls, especially those who had just gotten off the plane that day, all lit up and turned around in unison.
"Wow! Miss Luming, it's Miss Luming alive!"
"Miss Luming, is your treatment over?"
"Miss Lu Ming, could you please sign your autograph?"
The ship girls surged forward, instantly crowding the stairwell.
Seeing this scene, Xiaobai could only smile helplessly.
Lu Ming is a national-level actress in the human world, but that doesn't mean her status in the ship girl world is any worse.
Newbies might not know about other naval bases, but for newbie naval bases, based on their limited understanding, at least 80% of their ship girls have seen Shikamaru's works and are deeply moved by the characters she portrays, becoming her fans.
