Elder brother's garrison

"What? Ten thousand??" The ship girls were shocked, especially Ying Ruizhao and Ping Haininghai, whose voices of shock were the loudest. "Ten thousand words! I've never written that many in my life!"

"Sigh..." Lexington cupped her face and looked sadly out the window.

"I'll write, I'll write! I'll write, okay? I'll write right now!" The ship girls exclaimed in surprise upon seeing Lexington's reaction.

"Please hand them in before noon tomorrow. I will carefully read every single one of your self-criticisms." Lexington put down her hand, her expression gentle and kind, a smile in her eyes, as she spoke to the ship girls.

Chapter 3828 She has tremendous potential!

Lexington is the first ship girl in the newbie naval base. She is the most respected, most senior, and most trustworthy ship girl.

True.

The ship girls don't deny that while their Lexington is perfect in every way, she may have a slightly devilish personality, similar to her younger sister Saratoga. But it is precisely this little devilishness that makes the ship girls feel like they are being perfectly controlled by Lexington.

Therefore, there is absolutely no way our group can outmaneuver her.

No matter how much they struggle, they are ultimately just playthings in Lexington's hands...

In the final scene of the office ending, none of the ship girls present, including Shiro herself, escaped the fate of writing a 10,000-word self-criticism. They could only get up dejectedly, say goodbye to Lexington and Shiro, and leave the office.

"Lexington," Yat-sen called out before leaving.

“I’m here.” Lexington looked at Yixian.

"Regarding what happened today..." Yi Xian said apologetically, "I am deeply sorry for not being able to consider your feelings."

"Yixian, it's alright." Lexington waved to Yixian. "Come over for tea sometime."

Yi Xian nodded slightly to Lexington, then looked at Xiao Bai. After exchanging a brief glance with Xiao Bai, she politely left the office.

Yixian, Chongqing, Yingrui, Zhaohe, Pinghai, and Pinghai left one after another.

Xiao Bai watched Yi Xian and the others leave the office. Only after they left did Xiao Bai look at Lexington.

"Lexington..."

"Hmm? What's wrong, Xiaobai?"

"Um... about the ship girls' self-criticisms..." Xiaobai thought for a moment, then tentatively asked Lexington, "How about... I help them write them?"

There are nine portions.

"I'll write it..." Xiaobai said apologetically, "After all, this whole thing started because of me..."

"..." Lexington smiled, reached out and touched Xiaobai's head, but did not rub it. She just gently combed the hair behind Xiaobai's ear. "Oh, you're such a good person. You've done everything."

Xiaobai looked at Lexington.

Lexington got up and stretched.

The light fell on Lexington's waist, illuminating a vivid curve resembling a slender branch laden with fruit.

"A self-criticism of over ten thousand words? Those mischievous little girls who can't even do basic math problems, even if they rack their brains, they won't be able to finish it before noon tomorrow," Lexington said with a smile. "I just want to give them a little lesson for being naughty. I won't really force them to write it. Even Yixian can see that, so don't worry."

"what……"

"You don't need to write the others', but Xiaobai, you absolutely have to write your self-criticism." Lexington pointed at Xiaobai.

"Definitely, definitely." Xiaobai nodded quickly and saluted Lexington.

"Hmm," Lexington responded, walking to the secretary ship's desk and tidying up the documents. "Speaking of which, what happened to Frederick the Great afterward?"

"Frederick the Great was cut in two by the admiral, but then pieced back together and is now resting in prison," Jinan said, holding Xiaobai's hand.

“Okay, let’s spread this message then.” Lexington said, tearing off a small piece of paper, summoning a miniature reconnaissance aircraft, attaching the paper to its fuselage, and launching it out the window. Watching the aircraft gradually disappear beyond the window, Lexington murmured softly, “Once this message spreads, whether it’s me, my companions at the naval base, Frederick the Great himself, or even those mischievous deep-sea maids, everyone should feel much more at ease, and life will be more comfortable from now on…”

After launching the reconnaissance plane, Lexington smiled and looked at everyone.

"Alright, I'm in a great mood today, so I'm leaving get off work early," Lexington said with a smile, rubbing her shoulders.

"Hey! Leaving get off work early? Is that something Lexington could say?"

"Anyway, there's only so much work lately." Lexington rubbed his shoulders and yawned. "I'm going to leave work early, go home, take a bath, and rest. What about you, Xiaobai?"

“Uh… well…” Xiaobai unconsciously dragged out the word, glancing at Changchun beside her, “I should also go and check out the factory renovation project… and find a place to write a self-criticism while I’m at it.”

Changchun smiled at Xiaobai and reached out to take Xiaobai's wrist.

Lexington watched the interaction between Xiaobai and Changchun and gave a wry "hmm".

……

Lexington was still doing the final paperwork in her office when Shiro and the ship girls were forcefully kicked out before her, with the excuse that "go enjoy life."

Xiao Bai could only say goodbye to Lexington, and then the group slowly walked downstairs.

As everyone left the office building, 1913 was leaning against the wall of the office building, enjoying the shade under the trees by the main entrance.

Seeing Xiaobai and his group come out, 1913 gently straightened up by holding onto the wall and quickly walked towards them.

"Admiral, Changchun, Jinan, and Montana, Super Yamato." 1913 called out the names of the ship girls and abyssal ships present one by one, her gaze warm and gentle as she looked at them. "You've finally come out."

"Huh? 1913, didn't you go with Reputation and Counterattack?"

"The dormitory inspection has been completed, and the two seniors have already resumed their official duties. I will wait here for the Admiral," 1913 explained softly.

“Ah…” Xiaobai looked at 1913 and felt a little embarrassed when she saw the warm and gentle look in his eyes. “Actually, there’s no need for that… Lexington and I are very close. Even if she’s really angry, she won’t really do anything to me.”

“Yes, Senior Renown has already explained this.” 1913 placed one hand on his chest. “She told me not to worry about the Admiral.”

"Sigh, reputation is still the best way to understand Lexington," Xiaobai sighed. Looking at 1913, she continued, "Speaking of which, we're going to check out the factory renovation project next. Are you coming too?"

1913 didn't speak; she simply nodded slightly and bowed to Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai and his group had just left the office building and were heading towards the factory to be renovated.

It was noon when the group arrived at the modification factory. The ship girls guarding the factory were chatting and eating lunch, with all sorts of dishes laid out on the table in the center.

Upon seeing Xiaobai return, the eyes of the ship girls who were guarding her lit up, and they waved to her.

"Admiral! Isn't this the Admiral? You and Xiao Changchun have finally finished your walk!"

"Admiral, you're back just in time! We've just started eating and you're here! We just bought some for you! Come on, come on!"

"Admiral, please sit here!"

The ship girls adopted an exceptionally welcoming posture.

Xiao Bai and her group waved to them and walked up to them.

The ship girls were a little surprised to see that there were three more people besides Changchun and Jinan with Xiaobai.

"Huh? Admiral, you were just taking a stroll, how come there are three more people here out of nowhere?"

"Isn't this Super Yamato?! And this... Oh! Montana! So you're here too! Are you here for a medical check-up at the conversion factory as well?"

The ship girls readily made way for each other, smiling and waving.

When everyone's gaze shifted to 1913, looking at that alluring and dignified yet unfamiliar face, they all showed some doubt.

"Huh...this one..."

“This is 1913, a ship girl who joined the naval base at the same time as Illinois. You know Illinois, right? She’s Missouri’s new little sister. 1913 is a ship girl from Changchun and Jinan’s faction…” Xiaobai held 1913’s wrist and explained to the ship girls with a smile, “Just now, Changchun and I took 1913 to visit Yixian.”

He bowed to the crowd in 1913.

Everyone instinctively returned the greeting.

Ship girls, you know.

Most ship girls are quite friendly and outgoing with their comrades in the naval base.

The ship girls stared at 1913's face and figure for a while, then looked at how Xiaobai was holding 1913's wrist tightly, and inexplicably looked away, exchanging a few glances.

The ship girls' eyes now held a greater sense of responsibility and a long road ahead.

Ok……

This newcomer named 1913... although a newcomer, seems to be a very competitive opponent...

Whether it's her face, figure, demeanor, temperament, or even the ship's affiliation, she seems to be exactly the type that suits the admiral's taste...

Thinking of this, the ship girls all greeted 1913.

"1913, it's nice to meet you."

"Greetings, seniors. I pay my respects." 1913 said to the crowd.

The ship girls handed 1913 a bowl and chopsticks while continuing to talk to Xiaobai.

"Oh...no wonder, we just saw some passing ship girls say that you, Admiral, suddenly appeared out of the cafeteria with Sister Yixian and Frederick the Great..."

"Montana was there too, so I took her to practice with Frederick the Great for a bit," Xiaobai explained, sitting down in the seat the ship girls had given her.

"Isn't Sister Yixian coming to have dinner with us?"

"Yixian will probably be with Chongqing and the others..." Xiaobai said.

"It's a pity. I specially bought food that suits your taste when I saw you coming, Admiral. Sister Yixian probably also likes the food you like..."

The ship girls, while talking, pushed white rice and several plates of stir-fried dishes in front of Xiaobai.

After Xiaobai sat down, Changchun blushed slightly, but still naturally sat down next to Xiaobai.

The ship girls looked at the ring on Changchun's hand but said nothing.

The best spot at the dining table is next to the admiral. As a married ship, Changchun enjoying this position is as natural as a mouse eating rice.

So... the other spot should also be used by the wedding ship.

Everyone looked at Chao Yamato.

Super Big and has always been rather oblivious to matters of human etiquette. At this moment, she seemed to only want to be the last to sit down, so she stood by the table without moving.

Upon seeing this, Jinan immediately wanted to run over and sit down on the other side of Xiaobai.

However, before Jinan could arrive, another figure in light green leisurely sat down on the other side of Xiaobai.

He sat there in 1913, elegant and composed.

It seemed as if this position was originally hers, and not something she had seized.

Everyone looked at 1913, who had a completely ordinary expression.

The group then looked at Jinan.

The crowd looked away, exchanged glances, and nodded in unison.

—See, I told you this newcomer had great potential!

Chapter 3829 Extraordinary Potential

Although 1913 gives the impression of a dignified and reserved lady from a prominent family, to Xiaobai's surprise, she did not show any unapproachable distance when interacting with the ship girls, and instead integrated into the naval base very quickly.

After 1913 sat down next to Xiaobai, the ship girls at the table all started to fuss over her.

“1913, that name sounds a bit unique. There are very few ship girls in our naval base whose names are purely numbers.” Baltimore placed a piece of braised pork rib into 1913’s bowl and introduced herself to 1913 with a smile, “Hello, Miss 1913, I’m Baltimore. You don’t need to call me senior, you can just call me by my name.”

"Thank you, Miss Baltimore."

In 1913, looking at the braised pork ribs that Baltimore had placed in his bowl, he said softly.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, 1913 gracefully pressed her wrist, her fingertips gently moving the bamboo chopsticks. Her chopsticks, like butterflies flitting among flowers, easily peeled open the braised pork ribs. Then, she elegantly brought the deboned rib meat to her lips and took a small bite.

"oh----"

The ship girls standing nearby instinctively clapped.

"Miss 1913, you eat with such good manners!"

"You use chopsticks so skillfully! Do you have some kind of secret, Sister 1913?"

Facing the friendly gazes of the ship girls, 1913 glanced down at the chopsticks in her hand, placed them flat on the bowl, and smiled at everyone.

"As for the secret... I'm not really sure either. The way of using chopsticks seems to have been imprinted in my mind since I was born."

"Damn faction advantage!" The ship girls immediately pouted when they heard 1913's words. "It was so troublesome for us people from other factions when we first started learning to use chopsticks. Let alone being able to skillfully peel meat off ribs, we often ate in a flurry of activity and couldn't even pick things up properly."

"If you're not used to it, why don't you use knives and forks?"

“That won’t do. Even the admiral knows how to use chopsticks, so we have to too.” The ship girls said it as if it were a very simple principle. “Besides, to be honest, knives, forks, and spoons aren’t very convenient for eating this kind of food.”

"..." 1913 looked at the dishes on the table and nodded slightly.

"Ah, right!" The ship girls suddenly seemed to remember something as they chatted, and they quickly looked at Changchun, "Changchun, Changchun!"

"Huh?" Changchun looked at everyone.
