"But I'm so scared!!!"
Chapter 1384 You've worked hard
President Er Gou looked terrified.
The newbie looked on with a blank expression.
Make sense.
Before entering the office.
Indeed, including Xiaobai, there was a thought that it wouldn't be surprising at all if Lexington had done something to Chairman Er Gou.
Although seeing Lexington not only not making things difficult for Chairman Er Gou, but actually being as respectful as Chairman Er Gou had said, serving her tea and water, and massaging her shoulders and back, which was somewhat unexpected, it didn't seem like a bad thing at all.
As a result, President Er Gou was unhappy.
"President Sister...look, Lexington didn't do anything, did she..." Xiaobai smiled helplessly at President Ergou, "Isn't this a good thing..."
"Xiaobai, you're still young, you don't understand!" President Ergou hugged Xiaobai's clothes, shook his head at Xiaobai, and looked scared. "The adult world is very dark! Sweet talk and daggers are basic operations. Lexington just now was smiling while hiding a knife!"
"what?"
"I'm not afraid if she actually does something to me! I'm just afraid she won't do anything at all!"
"Uh...is there a connection...?"
"As the saying goes, the calm before the storm. The more ruthless Lexington's ultimate move, the less likely I am to notice it beforehand! The more respectful she is to me, the more dangerous it is for me!" Guild Master Er Gou said with lingering fear, his arms trembling. "Look at how much I usually talk trash about Lexington. It's already a miracle if Lexington doesn't come at me with a club. How could she be so nice to me!"
"...So even you, President, knew it was just talk..."
"I'm the head of a 200,000-strong online army, and when it comes to trash talk, who's Supreme Keyboard Brother afraid of? Keyboard, come on—wait, this isn't the time for that!" President Er Gou said halfway through, then quickly shook his head, nervously hugging Xiao Bai and saying, "Now that Lexington has finally found an excuse to run away, I feel like she's going to stab me when she comes back! Xiao Bai, I can't just sit here and wait to die!"
"Huh? Then...then what exactly do you want, President Sister..."
"This naval base is Lexington territory, it's far too dangerous to stay here!" Chairman Er Gou exclaimed, then quickly looked around. "Right! Speaking of which, we have to mention the Thirty-Six Stratagems: Retreat is the best! Tactical retreat is the essence of military strategy, just run!"
"Run??" Xiaobai was taken aback.
At this moment, President Er Gou also quickly stood up.
"Little White, I'm running away now, okay? I'll bring back the remaining sixty or seventy Deep Sea Little Reds from your family in a few months!"
After saying that, President Er Gou pulled up his pants and ran towards the office door.
"Oh no, President Sister!" Xiaobai quickly grabbed President Ergou.
"Little White! Don't stop me! This is a matter of life and death! Helena is waiting for me at home!"
“No… uh, what I mean is…” Xiaobai looked at President Ergou with a conflicted expression, “Well… let’s not talk about running away or not… Lexington is still taking pictures with Zara Pompeii and the others, right? The photo studio is right next to the office. If you go out, the first thing you’ll see is Lexington.”
"...Oh no, was this part of your plan too!" President Er Gou exclaimed in surprise, then pondered for a moment with difficulty, before finally looking resolutely out the window, which was blocked by curtains. "Then I'll just have to jump off the building."
"...Huh?? This, this can't be done, it's too dangerous..."
"Don't worry, I have ship equipment! Even if I die at the hands of Lexington, jumping off a building will at worst result in a sprained ankle!" President Er Gou's eyes grew brighter and brighter as he thought of this.
"...President Sister, I think you should stay here. I don't think Lexington will do anything to you..."
"Little White, don't try to persuade me, my mind is made up!" After saying this, President Er Gou ran to the curtains, flung them open, and prepared to jump out the window.
however.
next second.
Everyone was stunned.
The moment President Er Gou drew back the curtains, the scene outside came into view.
A stylish blonde maid was holding a bucket and a rag, suspended outside the window by a wire, and was bending over to wipe the glass outside the window.
Suddenly, the curtains were pulled open.
The blonde maid was startled and twirled around on the wire. She quickly used the hand holding the rag to cover her exposed skirt, almost causing her other hand to drop the bucket.
"ah!"
The blonde maid screamed as she saw several pairs of eyes staring blankly at her in the room, and her fair cheeks flushed red in an instant.
“…Uh… Richelieu??” Inside the room, Xiaobai, who was holding onto Guild Master Er Gou’s arm and trying to persuade him, stared blankly at the maid outside the window and exclaimed in surprise, “What are you doing here?”
“Because Lexington… she said she wanted us to clean the windows outside…” Richelieu blushed, struggling to cover her short skirt, “So… we agreed to draw the curtains, so please, please don’t look at me anymore…”
Richelieu, like a bullied girl, clutched her short skirt, which she couldn't hold down because she was hanging in the air. Her face was flushed red like a tomato, and she was about to cry out in shame.
President Er Gou stared blankly at Richelieu outside the window. She stared at Richelieu, who was swaying on the tightrope, and nodded after examining Richelieu's beautiful anime maid outfit for a while.
"noob."
"I'm here."
"Is this ship girl yours?"
"Uh... she is Richelieu."
"Wonderful..." Guild Master Er Gou squinted at Richelieu hanging in mid-air outside the window and nodded with feeling. "Making an easily embarrassed maid hang on wires... I never thought there was such a play... You're really something, Lexington."
"……"noob.
President Er Gou silently drew the curtains, sighed deeply, and then slammed his fist against the wall in a fit of impotent rage.
"Damn Lexington! To let me witness such a beautiful scene, my gentlemanly soul will not allow me to destroy it by jumping off a building!" President Er Gou said angrily, then lifted another curtain.
"Hello, this is Counterattack, the official maid of the naval base. We are currently performing our routine window cleaning, so please do not disturb the maids while they are working~"
Outside the window, a woman dressed in a conservative maid outfit, Fan Zhen, was firmly perched on the glass, holding a clean white rag and smiling brightly at the people inside the room.
President Er Gou slammed the curtains shut.
"Damn it!" Guild Master Er Gou covered his face and knelt down on the ground with a thud.
With President Er Gou abandoning his plan to jump out of the window, she also wasted her last chance.
Amidst a series of creaking sounds.
The door to the admiral's office opened again.
Lexington and Renown led Zara and Pompeii into the house.
"Xiaobai, come back—oh dear? Miss Naige, why are you kneeling on the ground?"
"I'm shocked!" President Er Gou jumped to her feet, sweating profusely as she looked at Lexington, who had returned to his office, and nervously swallowed.
“Miss Naige is quite a lively person.” Lexington looked at President Er Gou with a smile. She walked up to Xiaobai with the paper documents in her arms and handed them to Xiaobai. “Xiaobai, I have filled out the forms for Zara and Pompeii.”
"Oh... thank you, Lexington."
"You're welcome. By the way, did you leave one of the keys I gave you for either of them?"
"Yes, yes," Xiaobai nodded quickly.
"That's good." Lexington smiled and helped Chairman Er Gou back to his seat on the secretary ship, handing the remaining two forms to Oi and Kitakami. "Oi and Kitakami, I've filled out your forms for you. Please check if I remember them well."
"Uh...it's alright, it's alright." Daii pushed the two forms back into Lexington's hands.
Lexington walked to the window with a smile, closed the curtains that had been slightly parted, and then looked at Little White.
"Xiaobai, leave the rest to me. You're the admiral, so please take Zara and Pompeii to their new accommodations."
"Huh?!" The one with the biggest reaction was President Er Gou, who had returned to her seat on the secretary ship. She was startled when she heard that Xiao Bai was leaving.
"Huh? Me?" Xiaobai stared blankly at Guild Leader Ergou. "I..."
“After all, Zara and Pompeii are the ship girls you brought back. As the admiral, you should show them around the naval base, shouldn’t you?” Lexington laughed. “And Ooi and Kitakami just returned to the naval base as well, so you should show them what the naval base looks like now.”
"Uh..." Xiaobai glanced at the ship girls around her.
“Jiajia has missed you for a long time too. Let me and Miss Naige take care of things here today,” Lexington said gently, placing his hands on President Er Gou’s shoulders again.
"Eek!" President Er Gou shuddered, his gaze towards Xiao Bai filled with pleading.
Xiao Bai stood there, looking at Lexington and President Er Gou with some embarrassment, feeling quite awkward.
Xiaobai wasn't very good at handling the current situation. She thought about it for a long time, and finally coughed lightly and chose to trust Lexington.
Lexington, huh...
Anyway.
Even if she wanted to do something.
We can't really do anything to Chairman Er Gou, right...?
probably.
"Well... Lexington, I'll go to the naval base with them first... I'll be back after I'm done," Xiaobai said.
“Okay.” Lexington nodded with a smile.
Xiaobai controlled herself from looking at Chairman Ergou. After greeting Lexington with the ship girls, they all left the admiral's office.
thump.
The office door closed again.
Only Lexington, Reputation, and Chairman Er Gou remained in the office.
For a while.
The atmosphere was eerily quiet.
President Er Gou sat in his seat, looking at the empty sofa not far in front of him, sweating profusely.
"...Phew." Lexington exhaled softly, "Little White's gone..."
"Yes." Reputation nodded.
“So next…” Lexington gently rubbed the stiff shoulders of the Second Dog Association President, “the rest of the time… will be left to us old women, won’t it?”
"..." President Er Gou swallowed hard, his whole body trembling.
This Lexington!
She's finally about to reveal her sharp fangs!
President Er Gou was trembling.
But Lexington didn't do anything for the time being; she just silently massaged Chairman Er Gou's shoulders, sometimes with more force and sometimes with less.
“Miss Naige’s shoulders are really stiff. It looks like she must carry a lot of burdens on a daily basis,” Lexington said. “Miss Naige is human, unlike ship girls. Her body can’t withstand too much stress. Occasionally massaging her shoulders like this can speed up blood circulation and metabolism—at least it will make her feel better on a psychological level.”
"..."
Are you feeling any better?
"……Well."
"The guilds in the second chapter must be quite difficult to manage. They're all newly appointed admirals who haven't experienced many setbacks yet. They don't know their own worth, so their mentality is quite unstable."
"...That means ducks." Guild Master Er Gou said with deep feeling, "Those little bastards, they just came out of the newbie village, and their mentality is too inflated. They are always causing me trouble, and they are driving me crazy."
"Occasionally, a decent admiral will emerge, right?"
"...Well, I guess so. With each generation, there are bound to be both good and bad."
"Hmm... Let me think, Xiaobai mentioned an admiral named Nia."
"She's great, really great." President Er Gou cupped his hands in a gesture of support.
"Hehe, I initially thought you wouldn't acknowledge Xiaobai as your president."
Lexington chuckled.
"..." President Er Gou lowered his hands, remained silent for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly, "That was indeed what I thought at first."
"why?"
"It's useless anyway."
"I see." Lexington chuckled for a moment. "But I heard from Xiaobai that a lot happened in the second chapter. Although you pretended to be estranged from her at first, you still stepped up and helped her a lot in the end, right? I heard that you accidentally offended your hometown."
"..." President Er Gou turned his head away and did not speak.
"...Does your shoulder feel better now?"
"good."
"That's good."
