Elder brother's garrison

"Yamato-neechan!" The two destroyers greeted Abyssal Yamato with bright smiles.

"Oh, Shimakaze and Yukikaze, is there something you need?" Akami Yamato squatted down, looking at the two destroyers in front of her.

"No, it was just saying hello, hehehe..." The destroyers twirled around Abyssal Yamato a few times, then waved to her, laughing as they ran back. "Goodbye, Yamato-neechan! We won't disturb your work anymore!"

It seems that these two destroyers are quite fond of the Abyssal Yamato.

Akami Yamato waved to the two destroyers and watched them leave.

Pachina stared at Deep Sea Yamato with an expression that said, "Wow, you're doing pretty well."

"Ahem, well, listen to me." Yamato Shinkai cleared his throat. "You see, well, he's a child. As an elder, you should act like one, right? You wouldn't bully a child, would you?"

As they were talking, after the two destroyers left, Enterprise happened to pass by and turned around to spot Abyssal Yamato.

"Ah, Yamato, you're here!" Enterprise walked up with a smile. "Good morning!"

"Oh, good morning."

"Oh, I was just looking for someone to help me, and I didn't expect to run into you. Are you free right now? Could you take a look at this and see what's wrong with it?" Enterprise said as she took a handheld console out of her ship's storage space and handed it to Deep Sea Yamato. "I left this at home when I went to the First Sea Area last time, and when I took it out to play with it today, I found that it wasn't working."

The company representative smiled as he handed the handheld console to Deepsea Yamato.

"No response?" Yamato Shinkai took the handheld console, frowned, and looked it over. "The screen isn't broken, let me take a look."

Yamato studied it for a while: "Could it be that the inside burned out? What did you do to it before you left?"

"Nothing was done? It's just sitting on the table at home." The company member crossed his arms in confusion and muttered, "Did Tizi buy me a counterfeit?"

"No way, she has good taste." Yamato Akagi looked at it for a while longer before raising an eyebrow. "Enterprise, did you forget to recharge?"

"Huh? Charge? Does this need to be charged?"

“Electronic products definitely need to be charged. You really are an electronics idiot.” Yamato Shinkai returned the handheld console to the company. “Just charge it when you get back.”

"Then how do you charge it?"

"Go back and do some random searching and fiddling, and you should be able to charge it, as long as you keep thinking about charging," said Yamato Akagi.

"Oh, thanks!" Enterprise said to Deepsea Yamato with a satisfied look. "I'm going to Tizi's place tonight, wanna play some games together?"

“Okay!” Yamato Fukami smiled as he watched the company return to its dormitory building.

Pachina stared at Deep Sea Yamato with suspicion.

"Uh, let me explain. You see, the company wasn't the one who brought me down back then, was it? I think that as a person, you have to have a purpose. Whoever bullies me, I'll make trouble for them, right? I can't let others suffer as a result, right..." Shenhai Yamato finally realized what was going on and quickly explained to Pachina behind him.

"Yamato?" However, as if the world was targeting Abyssal Yamato, Bismarck's voice rang out behind her at that moment.

"Eek!" Akami Yamato suddenly hugged Pachina, trembling as she looked at Bismarck.

Bismarck, who was carrying a plastic bag of groceries, looked like she had just come out of the cafeteria: "What's wrong?"

"No, it's okay..."

“Okay, that’s good.” Bismarck nodded. “Here, this is for you.”

Bismarck handed a plastic bag of groceries to Yamato: "When you have time, please take this home for me."

"Ok."

Bismarck nodded and then walked toward the gate of the naval base.

Yamato watched cautiously as Bismarck disappeared from sight.

Pachina was instinctively hugged by Shenhai Yamato, half of his face was squeezed into her chest, only his two eyes, filled with heavy contempt, were visible.

"Haha. Um... let me explain..." Deep Sea Yamato released Pachina, chuckled dryly, and took several steps back.

“Let me help you think of a reason,” Pachina said. “It’s been too long. Why not let time heal all hatred?”

"Hahahaha..." Yamato's laughter grew softer and softer.

Deep Sea Yamato squatted down on the ground, drawing circles on the ground with his finger holding the vegetable basket.

"I've embarrassed the Deep Sea again, I'm so sorry!" Deep Sea Yamato said with tears in his eyes, feeling guilty.

Chapter 351 Off to prepare for the autumn harvest without stopping!

Lexington looked out the window at the three maids in the square.

"Lexington, what are you looking at?" Little White asked.

"Looking at those three little maids?" Lexington lowered the curtains, turned around, and walked back to her seat with a smile.

"Is that Yamato and the others?"

"Yes."

"I wonder how Yamato-neechan's training is going."

"I feel great," Lexington said mysteriously, then tidied up the documents in front of him, neatly stacking the papers together.

Since Lexington has said so, Xiaobai is no longer worried.

Xiaobai picked up a pen and quickly wrote the naval base's periodic report on the paper in front of him.

The naval base is mostly quite leisurely. Apart from handling those documents, expeditions, resident requests, and other things are all carried out slowly according to plan. It was quite strange when Shiro became the admiral; he encountered so many things in just a few days.

After writing the last word of the periodic report, Xiaobai put down his pen and stretched.

"How relaxing~" Xiaobai stretched out his hands comfortably, as if the soreness from sitting all morning was quickly dissipating like steam with this movement.

“How leisurely. If the paperwork goes smoothly, that’s how things are at the naval base lately.” Lexington poured White a cup of tea. “After all, there are very few busy times. There are only a few busy months a year.”

Which months?

"Aside from going on expeditions, we get busy for a while at the beginning of each of the four seasons."

"Oh, it's the deep-sea activity period," Xiaobai suddenly realized.

“Hmm.” Lexington nodded, glancing at the calendar. “Autumn is almost here, and the deep-sea activity season might be just around the corner.”

The so-called deep-sea activity period refers to the period when a large number of deep-sea creatures are born, which occurs during one of the four periods of the year when the resentment of the deep sea is strongest.

Like living organisms, deep-sea resentment also has cycles of prosperity and decline. The strength of deep-sea resentment can be basically predicted by the changing seasons each year. The beginning of a season happens to be the time when deep-sea resentment is at its strongest. A large number of deep-sea creatures and powerful deep-sea administrators are constantly being built, and they occupy the sea at a rate of proliferation that is unimaginable under normal circumstances.

In modern deep-sea battles between humans and abyssal ships, the abyssal ships are dominated by humans and ship girls on the surface for 90% of the time. However, during abyssal activity periods, the combat power of the abyssal ships will increase significantly. Although humans and ship girls still have the advantage, dealing with them is much more difficult than during expeditions.

Of course, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. During the Abyssal Activity Period, there are more Abyssal creatures and they are stronger. However, as a price to pay, the rewards after defeating them are also much richer. Therefore, strong admirals do not dislike the appearance of the Abyssal Activity Period, after all, it is also a good opportunity to strengthen the naval base.

"Lexington, how did we spend our previous deep-sea activities?" Xiaobai asked.

“The summer campaign period had just ended before you came to the naval base to take up your post,” Lexington recalled. “Well, the naval base hasn’t been doing much campaigning for the past two years, so simple voluntary cleaning tasks have been left to other naval bases.”

"Oh..." Xiaobai picked up the teacup and took a sip.

The foundation of the newbie naval base is already quite solid; the qualitative change has ended, and what remains is just a simple and uninteresting accumulation of quantity. Therefore, there is absolutely no need to rely on the Deep Sea activity period to strengthen itself.

In addition, Lexington has been in charge of the naval base for the past two years, so during the deep-sea operation period, they will take every opportunity to explore.

"The deep-sea event season in autumn, huh? It's been a long time since I've participated in an event." Lexington thought to herself, nodding thoughtfully. "Hmm, now that you mention it, Xiaobai, it's time to get ready."

Lexington put down his hand and rummaged through the pile of files at his desk.

"Huh? Do we have to fight?" Xiaobai was stunned for a moment. "I don't care. If everyone at the naval base doesn't want to participate in the event, then we shouldn't fight."

"We still have to fight, after all, we're ship girls, and cleaning up the abyss is our duty," Lexington replied with a smile. "Besides, if we keep sitting around doing nothing, are you willing to hand over the title of First Naval Base to another admiral, Little White?"

"Is it that dangerous?!"

"Hmm, if he slacks off for another ten or eight years, he might not be able to keep his number one spot." Lexington pulled out a thick stack of folders, dusted them off, and said, "Found it."

"What is this?" Xiaobai asked curiously, looking at the documents in Lexington's hand.

"This is the data on the older generation of ship girls in the naval base." Lexington walked over to Xiaobai with the folder, opened it, and showed it to Xiaobai.

The first page of the folder contains Lexington's own information.

According to the records, the appearance of Lexington in the photos is almost the same as it is now, but it always seems a bit more immature compared to the current Lexington.

“This is the first volume of the naval base's data from ten years ago,” Lexington explained to Xiaobai, gently rubbing her fingers on the folder. “It contains the names of the current veteran sisters.”

As Lexington spoke, she flipped the ship over. Sure enough, the second ship was Saratoga, the third was Hood, the fourth was Bismarck, the fifth was Tirpitz, and the sixth was Renown. These were all ship girls who had almost retired to the background in the naval base.

"What does Lexington need this document for?"

"It's been two years since we had a proper autumn event, time to get ready." Lexington smiled. "We need quite a few shipgirl sisters to conquer the autumn event."

As Lexington spoke, he turned the folder to the next page.

“Little White, although it’s not very appropriate for me to say this, back in the day, the naval base had a few special marriage ships,” Lexington said. “I, Hood, Bismarck.”

Xiaobai nodded.

The three people Lexington mentioned were not only known as "marriage ships," but also possessed extraordinary status.

Lexington oversaw the operation of the naval base, Hood retired to a quiet life, and Bismarck focused on logistics. They seemed to have little interaction, but they were the elders of everyone in the naval base.

They can be said to be representatives of their respective nationality's ships, possessing almost the strongest combat power and representativeness of each country's system. Their strength and leadership as ship girls are also outstanding, which has earned them the respect of all ship girls in the naval base.

“There’s one more.” Lexington said, pointing to the folder in front of him.

On the seventh page of the folder, there is a photo of a ship girl dressed in an elegant kimono.

Her eyes were like pools of clear water, and she stood tall and graceful. Her face was as beautiful as a flower and as lovely as the moon, and she was petite and exquisite.

“There’s another one, Akagi,” Lexington said.

Xiao Bai looked at the spot Lexington was pointing to and nodded.

"Akagi hasn't returned to the naval base yet, right?" Shiro asked.

“Yes.” Lexington said, rubbing her cheek with a troubled expression, “Akagi hasn’t come back, even though I’ve called her several times.”

"Do you have something important to attend to?" Xiaobai asked.

"I don't know, but recently she's gone from not replying at all to replying to messages and saying a few words." Lexington said, then thought for a moment, "In short, Shiro, Akagi is one of the most important ship girls in the naval base, both in terms of her existence and her combat significance."

"Oh……"

"The Autumn Event is no child's play, so even we need to be prepared to go all out. Akagi's presence can greatly enhance our combat power. Besides, Akagi hasn't been back for a long time, and I'm a little worried. So, Shiro, you understand?"

"what?"

Lexington reached out and patted Little White's head, giving him a friendly smile: "Go and bring your sister-in-law back."

"Eh, is Akagi also a marriage ship?"

“Yes,” Lexington said. “She’s the core of the carrier group; there’s a huge difference between having her and not having her.”

"Did Akagi say where she lives now?"

“She didn’t say anything,” Lexington chuckled. “She kept replying that I was fine, not to worry, that I wasn’t ready yet, and that I should wait a few more days.”

"How did Lexington know where Akagi was?"

“If there’s news, it means there’s a phone number. Just look up the phone number.” Lexington said with a smile.

For some reason, looking at Lexington's smile, Xiaobai felt a subtle sense of fear.

As Lexington spoke, he flipped through the folder in his hand several more pages.

"Little White, we really need to work hard for this fall event." Lexington said, looking down at the folder in front of her as if reminiscing about the past. "We can't do without them during the Deep Sea event."

"Them?" Xiaobai found a blind spot in what Lexington said.

"Ah, it's my fault, I didn't explain it clearly to you." Lexington smiled. "Actually, there are still many ship girls who haven't returned to the naval base yet, Akagi is just one of them. I used some tricks to find where some of them live, so please, Admiral."

"Huh? Could it be..."

"Well, these sisters might be unable to get away because of things in human society, or some might just be lazy or something else, so we'll have to trouble Xiaobai then."

"Hey, do I have to go all of them?"

"You're the admiral. Of course, you should go."

Xiaobai stared blankly at Lexington.

Who are they?

"Akagi, Washington, Rodney, Nelson, Chaser..." Lexington listed a long string of ship girl names.

The names of the ship girls that Lexington mentioned left Xiaobai completely bewildered.

Chapter 352 Skipping Grades: It's Addictive to Skip Grades

Shengchuan City is an unremarkable city. It's neither too big nor too small, and its economic level is neither high nor low. Housing prices are cheap, but the city life is too uneventful, which can easily smooth out the edges of young men and women. Therefore, most of the people who settle here are older.
