Elder brother's garrison

As for the others, such as small businesses and a bunch of deep-sea deans, they had long since lost interest in video games and had little motivation to play with Tirpitz.

Even Tirpitz himself thought he would spend his whole life staying in the naval base and torturing the computer, but there are always unexpected things. Bai Ying, whom Xiaobai brought back from Chapter 6, inexplicably ended up becoming Tirpitz's loyal playmate.

Perhaps because Bai Ying had never experienced the wonders of the electronic world in all her years of life, she became deeply fascinated by the colorful and musical world when she first encountered video games at Tirpitz.

And then, without realizing it, I became addicted to it.

Of course, being addicted is one thing.

No matter how you look at it, Bai Ying started playing relatively late, and she's still quite a bit behind professional players like Tirpitz. During the time that Xiao Bai and Saratoga were sitting next to Tirpitz, Bai Ying didn't win against Tirpitz even once.

Another burst of intense electronic music rang out, and Bai Ying's character was knocked to the ground by Tirpitz's character, emptying its health bar.

"The combos here aren't like that. You need to skillfully weave basic attacks into the release of skills. Don't use escape skills carelessly. You should at least bait out one of the opponent's key damage or control skills to avoid losing out." Tirpitz would occasionally offer some pointers on Bai Ying's gameplay.

Bai Ying didn't say anything. She just held the controller, nodded with shining eyes, and then tapped the request to try again.

Xiao Bai patted Oscar's head and couldn't help but smile as he watched Bai Ying's determined figure.

The current Bai Ying is much more energetic than she was in Chapter Six, when she was sitting alone in the garden, head down, squeezing bubble wrap.

Online games... while addiction is definitely bad, they can be a pretty good choice as a stress reliever.

Just as Xiaobai was thinking, the sound of the door opening came from outside.

A series of calm, light footsteps sounded, and then Bismarck and Hood, carrying the obedient Chairman Er Gou, entered the living room.

“Commander, you’re back.” Hood spotted Little White immediately and smiled as she looked at Little White sitting next to Tirpitz.

"Hood, Bismarck, good afternoon, I'm back." Little White smiled at Bismarck and Hood, then his gaze shifted to the dog-like figure perched on Bismarck's shoulder. "Uh... Bismarck, what's that on your shoulder...?"

"Seen from outside the door."

As Bismarck spoke, he threw Chairman Er Gou to the ground with a thud.

"Ouch!" President Er Gou screamed as he landed hard on his bottom, rolling around on the ground clutching his rear end. "It hurts so much! My butt's split open!"

"The word 'pity' doesn't exist in this German cat's dictionary."

Hu De looked at Chairman Er Gou, who was rolling around on the ground, rubbing his buttocks, and sighed helplessly.

"In the end, it's all because of you, sneaking around with your butt sticking out at the door, and that weird smile on your face. Honestly, if it weren't for the fact that the two of us had some impression of you, Bismarck might have mistaken you for a thief outside the naval base and just summoned her ship's rigging to blast you away."

"What kind of devilish statement is that! I'm nowhere near a thief, okay? At most, I've only stolen two vases from your admiral's office!"

"This is a thief."

Hu De frowned, looking like he had a headache, then walked up to Xiao Bai and patted him on the shoulder with a serious expression.

"commander."

"Huh? I, I'm here."

“I know you have a good relationship with this woman, but how should I put it…” Hu De pondered, “You must never become such a regrettable woman in the future.”

"……"noob.

Chapter 1398 Changchun Family

"Hey!" Er Gou, who was rolling on the ground, jumped up abruptly. "Playing around is fine, but don't joke about Xiao Bai! My glorious image in Xiao Bai's heart cannot be tarnished!"

"A glorious image..." Hood put his hand on Xiaobai's shoulder and glanced at President Ergou, who was trying to explain himself. "I don't think you'll leave Xiaobai with any glorious image..."

"Hmph! You don't know this, do you? I... oh dear!"

Before President Er Gou could finish speaking, Bismarck reached out from behind and lightly chopped President Er Gou on the head, ending her speech.

"Bismarck, what are you doing!" Chairman Er Gou covered his head and angrily spoke to Bismarck.

Since entering the room, Bismarck's attention had been focused on the bustling kitchen.

At that moment, Chairman Er Gou asked Bismarck a question, and Bismarck blinked and spoke.

"Come with me to the kitchen to help."

"what?"

"Come with me to the kitchen to help."

"Wait, why me? I'm a guest, why are you..."

“Go help.” Bismarck frowned.

This look.

It was full of majesty.

President Er Gou instantly froze, like a wooden doll, and followed Bismarck step by step into the kitchen.

“I’ll help,” Bismarck’s voice came from the kitchen.

“Ah, that’s great. Missouri was just worried about whether she could finish cooking on time before mealtime.” Missouri’s gentle voice came from the kitchen. “Then I’ll trouble Bismarck to take charge of this pot. Missouri will go peel the potatoes right away.”

"No need, I'll peel the potatoes with her."

"Ah... that's fine then, thank you both for your help."

"Ah."

……

The flames flickered in the kitchen.

Xiaobai looked at the Second Dog Chairman in the kitchen, who was sitting opposite Bismarck and peeling potatoes on the floor, and couldn't help but smile.

"Speaking of which, Bismarck came back very early today."

Xiao Bai smiled at Hu De.

"When she was unloading the stolen aluminum, Mrs. Leigh told her about your return, so she came over early," Hood said with a smile as he unbuttoned his collar. "Oh, by the way, as for me, I came back because the tea party was over."

Hood unbuttoned the top button of his collar and let out a soft sigh of relief.

"Really... I've run into Bismarck and that woman along the way. Fate is such a strange thing..."

"Hello, sister!"

Pompeii and Zara ran over from the other end of the living room and bowed deeply to Hood.

"Hello... Oh dear, these are new faces I've never seen before. Are you the new ship girls the Commander just acquired?" Hood put down her fan and smiled at Zara and Pompeii.

“These two are Zara and Pompeii…” Xiaobai introduced to Hood.

“I see.” Hood nodded, smiling at Zara and Pompeii. “You two are such lovely little sisters. My name is Hood. It’s nice to meet you. Since you are also the Commander’s ship girls, please don’t be too reserved at home. Just treat yourselves like you’re at home. Please don’t be too polite.”

"Thank you, Sister Hood!" Pompeii and Zara bowed to Hood, then smiled at each other and returned to the corner of the living room.

"Pachina! I'm back!" Pompeii's loving voice followed.

"Guna!" Then came pachina's almost frantic voice.

Hood smiled and glanced at Pompeii and Zara one last time before picking up an orange from the fruit plate and gently peeling it.

"It seems like you two, Hood and Bismarck, are quite welcoming to the president-sister..." Xiaobai blinked and stared at Hood for a long time before suddenly speaking.

"Hmm?" Hood, with a slice of orange in his mouth, looked up. "What's wrong?"

"Actually, I was quite worried before bringing the president back to the naval base." Xiaobai stroked Oscar with one hand and Saratoga's head resting on his lap with the other, and said to Hood apologetically, "Well, how should I put it... because the president's identity is a bit special... so at first I thought you guys would at least play some pranks on her before accepting her."

"A prank..." Hood chewed on an orange slice, then nodded with a smile. "It's a good idea, but... putting aside us for now, Commander, how did Lexington and Renown react when they met Miss Nago?"

"...They were so enthusiastic that I thought they had met their own sister."

"Just as I expected." Hood smiled.

“…Women’s world is so complicated,” Xiaobai said to Hude.

“Positions are always changing, after all.” Hood shook his head for a moment and said with a smile, “Commander, if we went back five or six years, or seven or eight years, perhaps we would indeed not welcome Miss Naoka as you said, but now… our positions are different.”

"Different stances?"

“We used to be rivals with Miss Naige, but now… we’re just family.” Hu De reached out and gently poked Xiao Bai’s forehead with his finger. “Your family.”

Xiao Bai leaned back slightly as Hu De gently poked him with his finger.

It was stuck to Tirpitz's back.

Xiao Bai blinked.

"...She seems to have said something similar about reputation."

"Haha, Reputation would actually say that?" Hood chuckled, then nodded and hummed for a long time. "Although it doesn't sound like something she would say at all, when you think about it carefully... it's not wrong. I believe even Akagi would think the same way."

Hood withdrew his finger.

Cleared his throat.

"So, we really welcome Miss Naige to the naval base," Hu De said with a smile. "And to be honest, it's not us who are the ones who are a little nervous and reserved because we still have some reservations."

"Who is that?"

“Her.” Hood pointed to the kitchen, where Bismarck was squatting in front of the potato basin peeling potatoes.

"Eh? Is that the student council president?"

"Don't let her long life fool you, she's actually more like a child than anyone else at heart." Hood patted Little White's head and gave a helpless smile. "So, Commander, don't learn bad habits from her."

Xiao Bai followed Hu De's gaze and glanced in the direction of Chairman Er Gou.

"..." Xiaobai was silent for a moment, "...Uh...I, I'll remember it..."

The power of ship girls is not only reflected in combat, but also in their efficiency in daily life.

Lunch was prepared after a flurry of activity.

Bismarck dragged the guild leader, who looked as if he had been skinned alive, out of the room. The group set up a table, and Missouri brought out a series of dishes from the kitchen, each wafting a strong aroma.

Missouri prepared many dishes with a festive atmosphere.

Xiao Bai wasn't sure whether this was a celebration banquet for the successful commission or something like a family reunion dinner.

Lunch was spent in a cheerful atmosphere. After the meal, Pompeii and Zara reluctantly said goodbye to Little White and returned to the garden to study their camping plans.

Xiaobai originally wanted to find a free moment to tell President Ergou, "The panties you stole aren't from Wisconsin, they're from Iowa," but unfortunately, there were ship girls all around, and President Ergou was in a dazed state after dinner, unable to listen to anything. After thinking for a while, Xiaobai sighed and simply gave up the idea.

The first day back at the naval base was a rare day off. In the afternoon, Shiro spent time chatting with the ship girls at home, and then evening arrived.

That evening, just as Guild Leader Er Gou was hopping and skipping, preparing to sneak into the bedroom with Xiao Bai, Reputation knocked on Xiao Bai's door and walked right in. He rather abruptly picked up Guild Leader Er Gou, told everyone that Guild Leader Er Gou was going to sleep at Lexington's house tonight and that he would let her come back tomorrow morning, then turned and left. Before leaving, he didn't forget to take Saratoga, who was hiding in the corner, with him. The three of them disappeared into the darkness of the naval base.

Xiao Bai stood at the door, blinking as she watched the three people disappear into the night.

In a sense, regardless of Saratoga, at least for Xiaobai, it's actually a relatively easy thing if President Er Gou doesn't sleep with Xiaobai at night.

That night.

When Deepsea Yamato, as was his habit, fell asleep in Deepsea Musashi's room, he slipped out of his room with his pillow, went into Shiro's room, and climbed onto Shiro's bed.

Xiaobai, who had been waiting in the room for a long time, couldn't wait to hug Shenhai Dahe's soft and cool body and gently kiss her lips.

There was a pop.

They both fell on the bed.

Silent all night.

After consuming some of his mental energy.

Xiao Bai slept very well that night.

Early the next morning.

When Xiaobai went to work at the Admiral's office, he saw President Ergou lying on the sofa, looking exhausted and catching up on sleep, as if he had stayed up all night.

President Er Gou's sunglasses were placed on the coffee table, revealing a pair of large dark circles under his eyes.

Then Lexington, as if nothing had happened, sat on a nearby seat, humming a little tune as she styled Saratoga's hair with a comb.

"Lexington, what's going on with the president?" Xiaobai asked, looking at President Ergou with a puzzled expression.

“After taking Jiajia home last night, I spent the night with Miss Naige in the Admiral’s office. She refused to sleep until very late, saying she was afraid I would do something, so she just stayed up all night dealing with documents.” Lexington smiled helplessly and turned to Xiaobai, saying, “So thanks to Miss Naige, it seems you don’t have to deal with documents today, Xiaobai.”

"Oh? The president works this hard?"

"She was once the president of the Admiral's Guild, so her basic professional skills are quite excellent. She's just a little lazy."

“…Uh.” Xiaobai stared blankly at the tall stack of completed documents on the desk, blinked, and said, “Then… now I…”

"How about we go keep the ship girls company?" Lexington said with a smile.
