Would she dare to voice her objections? No, she wouldn't.
The more absurd Lexington's explanations were, the less she dared to question them; in fact, she readily agreed with them.
The captain ship girl understood that Lexington wasn't trying to convince herself with this reason; she just wanted to express an attitude in this way.
She doesn't mind what she knows, nor is she afraid of what she knows.
But she wished she knew nothing.
Therefore, the captain ship girl could only remain completely unaware of anything.
Don't ask, just say it's high-tech! High-tech is awesome, that's all!
The captain kept hypnotizing himself in his mind.
Seemingly sensing that her feelings had been conveyed, after laughing with the captain ship girl for a while, Lexington began to bring up the topic of how late it was.
Once she understood, the captain ship girl, who had also understood Lexington, immediately realized what was going on. She quickly brought up the idea of leaving, and under Lexington's happy expression, she declined the polite invitation to stay for dinner. Then, gratefully, she led the ship girls out of the admiral's office and fled towards the gates of the newbie naval base as if her life depended on it.
Lexington stood by the window, quietly watching the ship girls depart.
Little White, sitting behind Lexington, put down his teacup and rubbed his legs together.
"Lexington, I need to use the restroom."
"Hmm." Lexington turned around and smiled at Little White.
Xiao Bai waved to the Prince of Wales and Lexington and left the office.
……
"Deep Sea Will—please, do it again—"

Inside the office.
After Xiaobai left, Lexington was tidying up the tea set on the table.
“Lexington,” the Prince of Wales suddenly asked.
"Ok?"
Are you comfortable letting them go?
“Yes, don’t worry, they won’t dare to say anything,” Lexington said, her head bowed.
"...Those ship girls, they attacked Abyssal Yamato before, right?"
"Ah."
"Later I heard that after they regained consciousness, they didn't seem to recognize Yamato Akagi. Why was that?"
"……high tech."
"?"
“It’s high-tech.” Lexington looked up and gave the Prince of Wales a bright smile.
"..."
I don't mind knowing, nor am I afraid of knowing, but I don't want to know.
—Lexington.
—And when have I never demanded the same of myself?
Chapter 925 The Skilled and Refined Technician Xiaobai
As the world's number one naval base, the newbie naval base possesses combat power that ordinary naval bases cannot match. Even in the modern era where humans and ship girls completely suppress the Abyssal Fleet, the newbie naval base is of great significance to the entire world.
Therefore, if, by some chance, a new naval base accidentally learns some minor secrets that do not involve their faction, most admirals and governors will choose to turn a blind eye.
For example, raising deep-sea animals in captivity.
These days, big shots live too comfortably and like to seek thrills for themselves. Who knows, maybe the admiral of the world's number one naval base has been idle for too long and suddenly gets a brain fart, gets tired of looking at his own ship girls, and thinks about capturing an Abyssal ship to raise, right? That's called exotic flair.
Admiral, huh.
Those in the know understand; it's called an occupational hazard.
If you know what's good for you, pretend you know nothing. If you don't, you can go to the governor and complain. Lexington won't stop you in the slightest.
Anyway, the governors are all on their side. For more than ten years, this group of people have been turning a blind eye to the newbie naval base, playing dumb and living a pretty comfortable life. If you suddenly jump in and pry open the truth, they might just find you annoying.
That's why Lexington let these ship girls go so easily.
Being number one in the world means you can do whatever you want.
However, Xiaobai was a little worried.
After all, what's being exposed is one's own secret. Although in 99% of cases, the person who knows this secret won't pose any threat to the newbie naval base, there's still a 1% chance.
The main reason Lexington let the ship girls go was because she didn't know what to do with them.
As a righteous organization, the newbie naval base would never do anything under the sun, and they would never bribe anyone. Lexington could only send these ship girls back.
But Xiaobai is different. Inside Xiaobai's body resides a master of the spiritual realm, a professor with rich clinical experience, and the will of the deep sea. Since she has a way to make these ship girls forget the secret of the rookie naval base, Xiaobai naturally doesn't mind moving her legs a bit.
After leaving the office, Xiaobai went to a secluded corner and quickly contacted the Deep Sea Will in her mind.
The will of the deep sea seemed to have been waiting for Xiaobai to make contact for a long time. After Xiaobai sank into the spiritual world, the will of the deep sea immediately took over Xiaobai's body.
Under the control of the Deep Sea Will, Xiaobai was like Spider-Man without his coat, jumping out of the building through the toilet window, using the walls and shadows to chase after the departing ship girls.
A few minutes later, the Deep Sea Will caught up with the ship girls, knocked them unconscious one by one, and then used the Spirit Body Correction Fluid to erase their memories of Shiro. He then filled in some imagined plot points and left.
Sometimes, dealing with troublesome things with absolute force is really convenient.
Xiao Bai returned to the office building via the same route, walked out of the restroom, and went back to his office.
In the office, the Prince of Wales had already left, and Lexington sat alone at his desk, quietly processing documents.
"Lexington, I'm back."
"Hmm." Lexington put down her pen and looked at Xiaobai. "It took quite a long time."
"Uh, um..."
"Move around more after meals to help with digestion."
"..."
Xiao Bai felt that Lexington seemed to have misunderstood some serious matters concerning his reputation...
"Xiaobai." Just as Xiaobai was struggling with how to explain, Lexington suddenly called out again.
"Huh?" Little White looked up. "What's wrong, Lexington?"
How many documents did you process this morning?
“…about half.” Xiaobai pointed to the mountain of documents piled up on his desk, which was about half full.
"Half is enough, we can finish the rest tomorrow, Xiaobai. Do you remember what we said before about wanting to see the ship girls?"
"Yeah, remember."
"So many things happened today, your sisters are all quite worried about you. You should go and see them."
"Ah, okay!"
Beneath Lexington's radiant smile, Xiaobai was pushed out of the office as if he were being shoved.
Xiao Bai left the office, thought for a while in the corridor, and then walked out of the office building.
There are quite a few ships to salvage in the second chapter, and if I were to greet them all, I would need to figure out the best route.
Xiao Bai left the office building and headed towards the training ground.
By the time Xiaobai finished its rounds, the sun had dipped low over the sea, casting a hazy yellow glow across half the sky.
In the aircraft carrier's dormitory, Little White, who had just come out of Essex's house, declined Bald Eagle's offer to stay overnight and said goodbye to CV-16 and Essex in the room.
After closing the door to the Essex house, Little White finished his rounds of greetings and stretched slightly.
CV16 is the final stop on Xiaobai's journey. Once it ends, Xiaobai can return to the office and prepare to leave work.
The admiral's job is too leisurely. He can earn so much money just by writing documents and chatting with ship girls every day. Xiaobai is a little uneasy about it.
As Xiaobai walked towards the stairwell, she looked at the door numbers on one side with great interest.
“Essex…Yorktown…Azure Dragon…Royal Ark…”
“…Shokaku…Lexington…Ah, Lexington and Saratoga live here too. What a pity, it would be great if Lexington were off work.” Shiro stood on tiptoe in front of Lexington’s door for a while, then glanced at the other side with some regret.
Xiao Bai raised an eyebrow at the name written on the other door. She walked to the door and checked the nameplate again.
—This is Akagi's home.
Speaking of which, Shiro hasn't seen Akagi since arriving at the naval base.
Is she still at home?
Thinking this, Xiaobai took out his keychain.
When Akagi returned to the garrison headquarters, she even gave him the key to her house, saying he could come in anytime.
"Since I've been given the key, then... it should be able to open it, right..." Xiaobai muttered, picking out Akagi's key from the keychain and inserting it into the lock.
With a faint creak, Xiaobai opened the door.
Although aircraft carriers are rare and special ships, they receive the highest salaries for ships of equal combat power. However, they don't seem to have much preferential treatment in terms of dormitory accommodations. The layout and size of their rooms are exactly the same as those of other ship girls.
After Ba Sanlin Jiulingqi quietly called out to the room, "Is anyone home?", Xiaobai went inside.
As soon as Xiaobai entered the room, she smelled a warm fragrance, like summer sunshine shining on the bedding.
There must be someone at Akagi's house. The lights were on, the hallway was spotless, and the shoes in front of the door were neatly arranged, but the house was strangely quiet.
"Is Akagi there?" Xiaobai called out softly again.
Then some noise came from the living room.
Xiao Bai's eyes lit up, and he walked towards the living room.
The living room at Akagi's house had been renovated, with the entire floor replaced with tatami mats that resembled straw mats. When Shiro stepped on it, it felt hard and subtly uncomfortable, yet it also seemed quite comfortable.
Akagi was indeed in the living room.
Akagi, dressed in a yukata, was sleeping by the fireplace. Large expanses of her snow-white skin were exposed from the opening of the yukata, her skin white with a rosy glow and a faint trace of moisture from her bath.
"Hmm...hmm..." After Xiaobai walked into the living room, Chicheng's eyebrows twitched, but he still didn't open his eyes.
It's often said that aircraft carrier ship girls are less alert and need their companions to watch over them, and that's probably true.
Xiaobai quietly walked over to Chicheng and sat down.
"Hmm...is it...Kaga?" After Shiro sat down, the sleeping Akagi murmured in a half-awake state. With her eyes closed, Akagi slowly turned over and rushed towards Shiro, a slightly innocent smile on her lips. She reached out her hand towards Shiro, "You're back..."
Akagi shifted her body and rested her head on Shiro's lap.
This more childlike version of Akagi is quite refreshing, and I want to see more of her like this.
Xiaobai looked at the lazy expression on Chicheng's face and smiled quietly.
"...Do you understand the problem...?" Akagi murmured weakly.
"..."
"Oh... I still don't... understand..." Akagi muttered to herself, gently nuzzling Shiro's leg. "Keep it up... okay..."
It seems that Kaga hasn't been able to escape the clutches of the company yet... cough cough, escape the company's embrace, and hasn't been able to go home.
Xiao Bai picked up an orange from the table, peeled it, and ate it in small bites.
That said, Akagi really seems quite unguarded at home.
Xiao Bai lowered his head.
Akagi lay on her side, her head resting on Shiro's lap. Her slender figure was partially visible beneath the large bathrobe, and the open neckline revealed a magnificent, snow-white cleavage.
“...Kaga...so gentle today…” Akagi suddenly murmured in a daze.
Because it wasn't Kaga at all.
Little White, who was eating an orange, thought to himself with a smug smile.
"...Touch...me."
