Elder brother's garrison

"Wow...so many..."

The destroyers looked at the seafood rice bowl on the table with varying expressions.

This seafood rice bowl is not as simple as it seems. What's also a bit strange is that the rice in this bowl is not white, but a light purplish-red, with black and red beans mixed in between the rice grains, making it look quite authentic.

"Xiao Hong, what's this?" Xiao Bai looked at the seafood rice bowl on her table with a puzzled expression. "I don't think I ordered anything like this..."

Taihou, dressed in a maid outfit, blinked. She gestured for Shiro to wait a moment, then bent down and rummaged around for a while before lifting a board with a menu written on it from under the glass display case.

Deep Sea Phoenix pointed to a dish on the menu, gesturing for Xiaobai to look.

Little White peeks over.

The words "Large Seafood Rice Bowl (Red Bean Rice)" were clearly written on it.

"...Red bean rice..."

The crowd murmured to themselves, looking up at the deep-sea giant phoenix.

Taihou raised her hand to Shiro and the destroyers, giving them a thumbs up.

Deep Sea Taihou, maintaining its thumb, nodded solemnly to the people in front of it.

"Ah...it's red bean rice for newlyweds."

The destroyers suddenly realized what was going on.

Chapter 1408 A Glimmer of Hope for the Unlucky

Xiaobai naturally didn't finish this bowl of deep-sea newlywed red bean seafood rice.

After all, the rice bowl was almost as big as a washbasin, and Xiaobai didn't have the attributes of a big eater, so no matter how delicious the food was, Xiaobai couldn't eat it.

After working hard for nearly half an hour and eating a quarter or a fifth of the red bean rice, Xiaobai conveyed the spirit of "every grain of rice is hard-earned" to the destroyers who were waiting nearby, and then got off the table with a noticeably bigger belly.

The main purpose of Shiro's visit to Fubuki's house this time was to see whether the Deep Sea Taihou's personal maid was competent and whether it was worth promoting on a large scale in the naval base.

Now, after this meal...

Judging from the results.

At least in terms of culinary talent, Deep Sea Taihou is basically at the top of the list. As for other household cleaning services, such as waking up the bed and sweeping the floor, Xiaobai heard Baixue and the others say that Deep Sea Taihou is also excellent.

Having received satisfactory feedback, Xiaobai intended to say goodbye to Chuixue and the others with Changchun, but Chuixue was unusually energetic this time. Even after Xiaobai finished eating and had no room left in her stomach, Chuixue was still riding on Changchun and going on a crazy rampage, showing no sign of stopping.

—Destroyers are really full of energy.

Xiaobai stood beside Chuixue and Changchun for a while, then helplessly told them that since they still had a lot to say, she wouldn't bother them anymore and would go to Changchun's house tomorrow to discuss the wedding ring idea with her.

Done.

Xiaobai awkwardly ignored Changchun's cries for help, said goodbye to the ship girls in the living room one by one, and left Fubuki's house.

When Xiaobai returned to the admiral's office, it was already dusk, and the sun was about to set.

Lexington was the only one in the office, bent over working on documents.

"Lexington, I'm back!" Little White called out to Lexington.

"Little White, welcome back." Lexington looked up and smiled as she looked Little White up and down. "Looks like you had a lot of fun today. It's rare to see you come back so late."

"Uh... this is actually quite a long story..." Xiaobai scratched his cheek awkwardly.

The reason I came home late today is because at home in Changchun, I accidentally drank oolong tea (flammable) instead of oolong tea (regular), and got drunk without realizing it.

—Of course, this cannot be told to Lexington.

Xiao Bai thought that if Lexington knew he had been drinking, even if it wasn't intentional, he would definitely be angry.

"It's a long story? That's quite an interesting description. Hmm... how exactly is it a long story?" Lexington smiled and raised his hand, resting his chin on the back of his hand, as he gently asked Little White.

"Uh..." Xiaobai's face stiffened, and she immediately regretted speaking without thinking carefully. "This... cough cough, let's not talk about this for now. Speaking of which, wasn't the president sleeping in the office this morning... and Saratoga, where are they now?"

“Of course you’ll wake up when you’re sleeping. Miss Naige didn’t want to be alone with me, so she naturally went back to Bismarck’s house after waking up… As for Gaja, she should be waiting for you to come back at Bismarck’s house right now.” Lexington smiled at Little White.

"Ah... I see." Xiaobai nodded.

"Well... back to the original topic, how did Xiaobai come to this long story?" Lexington continued to inquire.

“…Uh.” Little White walked up to Lexington. “Lexington…I’ll tell you then.”

"please say."

"Look, didn't I say today that I wanted to go to Fubuki's house to check on Xiaohong's work?"

"Yes."

"Then, as I had agreed with Changchun before, I was going to bring her along. You know Lexington, Changchun and Fubuki are really close, right?"

"really."

"So I went to my home in Changchun this morning."

"Uh-huh."

"Well, there was a little incident... nothing serious."

"Um……?"

"And then, and then comes the most important thing! The most important thing!" Little White said to Lexington before Lexington could ask what the little incident was about.

"The most important thing?" Lexington's attention was indeed drawn to Little White's words.

"Um... well..." Xiaobai smiled shyly at Lexington, "I want Changchun to be my wedding ship... Lexington, what do you think..."

"..." Lexington stared at Little White with a surprised expression.

After a while.

Lexington's eyes suddenly reddened, and then she covered her mouth.

"Huh? Lexington??" Little White panicked when he saw Lexington's tearful expression. "Lexington, what's wrong? Did I make you angry again... Uh... Uh, I, I actually..."

"No, no, no." Lexington shook her head, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and smiled gently at Little White. "I'm not angry."

"...Lexington, what is this...?"

"I'm happy."

"Huh? Happy?"

"...Little White, you finally...finally, before giving the ship girl ring, you were able to discuss it with me." Lexington wiped away her tears with her slender white fingers, her face full of emotion. "Little White, you've finally grown up."

"……"noob.

"I see... Hmm, hmm. No wonder you didn't come back all day, Xiaobai. So you were thinking about your life's important matters. Hmm, very good. Being able to think deeply about your actions for a whole day is already the first step towards adulthood." Lexington said with emotion, "It's Changchun, right? That girl is very good. She's a very pretty and lovely girl. Although she's a destroyer, she doesn't have many of the bad habits of children. When it's time to be energetic, she's just as good as others, and when it's time to be well-behaved and sensible, she's far ahead of her fellow ship types—hmm, very good."

Lexington happily grabbed the phone.

"Xiaobai, have you chosen a ring style for that child in Changchun?"

"Huh? Uh... not yet."

"Akashi offers wedding ring making services. I had the chance to try it before, and her craftsmanship is excellent. She also made Yamato's wedding ring, right?" Lexington rummaged through the secretary ship's desk, found a fashion magazine, and started flipping through it in front of Xiaobai. "Although Changchun is sensible, she's still a bit childish at heart, so overly mature styles don't suit her... What do you think of this one, Xiaobai?"

Lexington pointed to a ring in the magazine and said to Xiaobai with great interest.

"Uh...it's, it looks pretty good."

"Then let's keep this as an option. Xiaobai, shall we look for the next one? Hmm... don't let me do all the searching. It's your wedding in Changchun, so as the admiral, you also have to be responsible for picking a beautiful and suitable ring."

“…Yes, you’re right…” Xiaobai wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The twilight was gradually absorbed by the sea.

It transforms into a sky full of stars.

Xiaobai and Lexington spent a long time in the admiral's office looking at more than a dozen ring models. After going through layers of screening and voting, and using the fairest points system for selection, they finally chose a silver-white diamond ring that they liked.

After organizing the information in Lexington and finally sending the selected ring design to Akashi via email, Shiro breathed a deep sigh of relief.

This was the first time Xiaobai had ever felt that choosing a ring could be so tiring.

Akashi made a ring.

From selecting materials to forging, it could actually be done in about a day if all the work was done at full speed. However, considering that Akashi has many personal matters to attend to at the naval base and cannot devote all his time to forging rings, Xiaobai will have to wait two or three days to complete the wedding ring for Changchun.

Good things come only in time.

Xiao Bai doesn't mind waiting a day or two longer.

Xiaobai left the admiral's office and returned to Bismarck's house under the cover of night.

At Bismarck's house, before Chairman Er Gou and Saratoga could even exchange a few words with Xiao Bai who had just returned home, Renown suddenly appeared behind Xiao Bai like a Stand user. He picked up Saratoga with one arm and carried Chairman Er Gou with the other, then gave Xiao Bai a casual bow and smiled as he led the two away.

then.

On the second day after the newbie arrived at the naval base, a major event occurred.

One of them.

After testing, the new naval base launched a brand-new private maid service to all ship girls within the base.

If any ship girl is not satisfied with her quality of life, she can go to the Admiral's office to apply for eligibility from Lexington, and then she can take a highly skilled deep-sea Taihou as her personal maid.

The news about the newbie naval base was sent directly to all the ship girls' communication devices early in the morning through the usual mission distribution channels.

Early in the morning, ship girls eager to have a deep-sea maid entered the admiral's office one after another, taking away the spots from Lexington.

In the newbie naval base, the proportion of ship girls who yearn for deep-sea maids is not very high yet, and somewhat surprisingly, most of them are veteran ship girls who are usually familiar with newbies, such as Enterprise Yorktown, Ooi Kitakami, and Shinichi Ayanami. As for the relatively new ship girls from Akashi Naval Base, the second largest naval base in the world, the tenth largest naval base in the world, etc., none of them have come.

"Veneto, long time no see." In the office, Lexington smiled and waved to Veneto as she walked in. "Are you here to claim your qualification to take away a personal maid too?"

“Hmm. I need someone to help look after the Empire while I’m doing exercises with Rome.” Veneto walked to the secretary ship’s office, glanced at the documents on the table, and said, “Could you please provide me with one?”

“Veneto, you seem to have quite a bit of a connection with the Deepsea Amphibious Ships.” Lexington looked at Veneto with a smile.

“I don’t really mind.” Veneto glanced down at the ring on his finger. “After all… isn’t my junior also a purple-haired dean?”

“That makes sense. Now that you mention it, Dean Deepsea and Veneto are practically family.” Lexington smiled and pulled out a form. “Veneto, please fill in your information.”

"..." Veneto picked up the pen on the table and began filling in his information.

As he wrote, Veneto turned his head and glanced at the empty admiral's desk.

"...Speaking of which, where did the admiral go?"

"Xiaobai?"

"Ah."

"Xiaobai... should be very happy now."

“?” Veneto tilted his head.

Lexington smiled without saying a word.

-

at the same time.

upstairs.

The construction interior of the newbie garrison.

Xiaobai and Renown, carrying huge buckets of resources, stood in front of the super builder that once created Iowa.

Xiao Bai excitedly clasped his hands together, looking at the super construction machine in front of him.

Since returning from Chapter Six, Xiaobai's troubles have been one after another. From accompanying Wisconsin to the streets, to suddenly receiving a special mission, to investigating and killing the illegal naval base, finding Chairman Er Gou, cleaning up the sea area, and after returning to the naval base, he still has to settle Chairman Er Gou and the Deep Sea Taihou. Most importantly, he also has to deliver Changchun's wedding ring.

These tasks came one after another, leaving Xiaobai with no free time to deal with miscellaneous matters in the short term.

Meanwhile, Wisconsin's panties were found, the civilian commission was successfully completed, Chairman Er Gou and Lexington reconciled, the deep-sea Taihou gained new professions, and the wedding ring project in Changchun was also progressing steadily.

Xiao Bai finally had some precious free time to deal with the things she had wanted to prioritize for a long time.

That means studying this super construction machine with a 100% success rate right in front of us!

Enjoy the rare experience of guaranteed delivery!

Chapter 1409 The Most Expensive Construction

The construction room of the newbie naval base is very large and spacious.

On the central floor, four ordinary construction devices stood quietly facing east, west, south, and north. Most of the floor in the house was empty, and the floor was clean and white. The super construction device that Xiaobai brought back from Chapter Six was placed on an open space not far away.
