Today's tutelary fort remains peaceful.

The girls who finished their exercise first and those who just came to watch the show had almost all left. Only Lexington was still with Xue Cheng. However, girls are always slower than men when taking a shower. Xue Cheng thought about it and went to wait under the shade of the tree in front of the gym.

The exhaustion from the workout gradually subsided, replaced by a feeling of exhilaration. Xue Cheng clenched his fist and waved it in the air, muttering to himself, "No wonder some people love exercise; it's truly addictive."

"You feel comfortable now, but the Admiral will feel uncomfortable when he wakes up tomorrow morning." A flat voice came from behind. Xue Cheng turned around and saw Bismarck with slightly damp hair walking out. Tirpitz, who was almost crying, was half hanging on her body, looking like he was about to die.

"..." Xue Cheng also knew that he, who had never had the habit of exercising, would inevitably suffer from muscle soreness the next day after suddenly working out in the gym for such a long time. He scratched his cheek and asked, "Bismarck, do you have any good ideas?"

"Massage?" Bismarck tilted his head, a thoughtful expression on his face. "A proper massage can provide some relief, but the pain will still be there, so Admiral, you'll need to get used to it quickly."

Xue Cheng nodded. When he was in college, if he hadn't played basketball for a long time and suddenly played a few games one day, he would feel muscle soreness the next day. But if he persisted in playing for a few days and his body adapted to the exercise, even if he exercised a little too much, this would not happen again.

So, you still have to rely on yourself.

Xue Cheng shrugged, then suddenly noticed that Bismarck had glanced at his watch several times in the past minute. He asked curiously, "Bismarck, is there anything wrong?"

Bismarck hesitated, then nodded. Bei Zhai, who was leaning against her, curled his lips and said, "That brat is back. My sister and I are going to the harbor to greet him. Tsk, really, now is the time."

"Little devil?" Xue Cheng blinked.

"Xiao Zhai and the others are back." Bismarck looked at Tirpitz's unhappy expression and said directly, "If you don't want to go to greet them, you can go to the cafeteria with the admiral to eat first."

Tirpitz's eyes lit up, and she was about to agree, but Xue Cheng, whose eyes were even brighter than hers, said first: "Wait, I'll go with you. It's been so long since I came back and I haven't seen Xiao Zhai yet... Oh, wait, I'll send a message to Lexington to explain the situation."

"Admiral!" Tirpitz pouted unhappily.

The sparkling sea shines with dazzling golden light under the sunlight, and the sea breeze blows across the coast, bringing a hint of coolness.

Xue Cheng looked at Bismarck walking beside him and asked curiously, "Come to think of it, when did Xiao Zhai and the others leave? Where did they go? Why don't I know about it?"

Xiao Zhai, also known as You Zhai, is a rather special ship girl.

Unlike pseudo-Lolita like Veneto, Xiao Zhai is a real Lolita battleship. She appears as a special reward for Children's Day and is set to be the childhood form of Tirpitz. Although she has the same skills as Tirpitz, her basic panel is the value before the transformation, so her practicality is still a bit lacking.

However, in Kancolle-type games, cuteness always outweighs strength. Even though Xiao Zhai's strength is not enough to join the assault team, Xue Cheng still likes her very much. Occasionally, he will set her up as a secretary ship, or add her to the team to get the spoils.

Bismarck leaned his hands against the pergola and gazed into the distance, saying casually, "It was the day after the Admiral got drunk and acted up. Rodney had been planning to take Xiao Luo to visit the country, and when Xiao Zhai and Xiao Hua heard about it, they also wanted to go, so we just let them come along."

"So that's how it is..." Xue Cheng muttered to himself. After traveling through time for so long, the three special loli warships, Xiao Zhai, Xiao Luo, and Xiao Hua, have been nowhere to be seen. He thought that because of their special nature, they did not exist in this world.

So, was he actually traveling? Speaking of which, I haven't seen Rodney in a while. Nelson did see him during the challenge, and he was a little confused at the time. Where did Rodney, that sister complex, go?

Xue Cheng thought about it and observed a second of silence for Rodney.

Traveling with three small children is definitely a very demanding task both mentally and physically.

Although Xiao Zhai and the others are not the kind of naughty kids who like to make trouble, children are always full of energy and have a strong curiosity about strange and new things. Rodney must have been tortured to the point of going crazy during this period, right?

One hundred and sixty, welcome

Xue Cheng was just thinking about this when Tirpitz, who was walking slowly behind the two of them, curled his lips and said, "I wish that brat didn't come back. It's so troublesome."

Bismarck stopped, turned around and looked at his sister, saying calmly, "Xiao Zhai is a very sensible sister who often helps me with housework. But you, on the other hand, stay in bed all day long. I always have to heat up your meals for you, and you don't even bother to clean your room. Snack bags and Coke bottles are left everywhere, and your clothes are piled up on the side without any care..."

Tirpitz looked at his sister confidently, not feeling the slightest bit ashamed of what he had done. He puffed up his cheeks and said, "That girl is not my sister!"

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. She is my sister anyway." There was a smile in Bismarck's eyes. She knew that Tirpitz didn't really hate Xiao Zhai. She was just a little upset because she was often preached by the little girl and didn't want to change her bad habits.

Even though Tirpitz kept denying this little sister, once when the little otaku attacked and broke back, this otaku girl was clamoring to teach the deep sea a lesson. If she hadn't been stopped by Bismarck and switched to the form of "The Lonely Queen of the North", Tirpitz would have really fought her way out alone.

"Oh... Damn it!" Tirpitz gritted his teeth. When a family has two sisters, one of them has good character and the other has a bad record, the latter will inevitably be made to look worse by the former.

"That little rascal doesn't go out often, and he always likes to play games!"

"But most of the games Xiao Zhai plays are those that require full-body exercise," Bismarck said. "Also, Xiao Zhai occasionally goes out to play with Xiao Luo and Xiao Hua, while you just stay at home doing nothing all day."

"But I also make money by drawing books!" Tirpitz argued, but she regretted it as soon as she finished speaking, because her sister and the admiral were looking at her with murderous eyes.

Tirpitz pursed his lips, lowered his head and dared not say a word.

The three of them came to the dock and braved the scorching sun for a while. Just when Tirpitz, the weakest one, was about to collapse on Xue Cheng, a few small black spots appeared on the distant sea level.

"It's them." Bismarck took out a telescope from the ship's space and nodded to Xue Cheng.

"You're finally back." Xue Cheng's expression was a little excited. The weak and clingy Rodney, the cute and sensible Xiao Zhai, and the mature and calm Xiao Hua. Although Xue Cheng didn't have any extra rings to give to them when they played the game, it didn't mean that he didn't like them.

Bismarck looked at Xue Cheng's excited expression, frowned, and a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes.

Soon, some of the ship's uniforms were unfolded, and the girls with sailing feet leaned against the table. Rodney, who was wearing a white long skirt and had dazzling golden short hair tied up and hanging over her shoulders, looked tired. She walked up the steps with three little lolis who were jumping and still seemed to be unsatisfied.

"Bismarck..." If it were any other time, Rodney might have looked at Bismarck with some displeasure, but now it was different. She said with a sad face and a dejected expression, "Next time... No, there won't be a next time. I will never go out with a child alone again!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Rodney." Xue Cheng said with sympathy.

"It's okay, I... huh?! Admiral? Why, why are you here to greet me? Am I too tired and having hallucinations?" Rodney looked at Xue Cheng in disbelief, rubbing his eyes with the back of his hand, as if he had seen something extremely incredible.

"No need to look, it's really me." Xue Cheng was helpless. It had been some time since he traveled to this world, and the ship girls in the garrison gradually accepted Xue Cheng's changes.

However, it was different for Rodney and the others who were out. What they heard in the group was not as good as seeing it with their own eyes. Their impression of Xue Cheng was still the same as before.

"What? Sister Rodney is exaggerating like we are troublesome." Xiao Zhai, who has pink hair and looks very similar to Tirpitz, but is much younger, crossed his arms and puffed his cheeks in dissatisfaction.

"I think you should be more self-aware of this, Xiao Zhai." Xiao Hua, clutching a large tome in her arms and with her long silver hair tied into twin ponytails, pushed her glasses up on the bridge of her nose and said calmly, "I still remember the twelve-hour trip to Akihabara vividly."

"Ten, twelve hours..." Xiao Luo, who was hugging Rodney's thigh with a timid expression and only half of her face exposed, had a trace of fear in her eyes. "Twelve hours of continuous shopping without a break... Xiao Zhai is so scary!"

"Oh?" Tirpitz, who was half hanging on Xue Cheng's body and had finally recovered some strength, poked his head out from Xue Cheng's shoulder. With a malicious smile on his face, he said meaningfully: "Xiao Zhai... you are really a good child."

Xiao Zhai looked at Xue Cheng, who was full of surprise, and his sister Bismarck, who suddenly frowned, and felt guilty: "Don't talk nonsense, we obviously went to the comic cafe to rest in the middle."

"Little house." Bismarck's expression darkened.

"Sister Miao..." Xiao Zhai lowered his head, rubbing the corner of his clothes with his fingers, and whispered, "I, I know I was wrong."

"Okay, okay, you're just a kid. It's rare for you to go out, so it's normal for you to get overly excited. Don't take it so seriously."

Xue Cheng sensed that the atmosphere was not right and quickly tried to smooth things over. He put his hand on Bismarck's shoulder and winked at Rodney: "Rodney and the others just came back. Let them have a good rest and eat something first. We can talk about it later if there is anything else."

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

"The Admiral is right, I'm almost starving." Rodney understood. In fact, she didn't mean to complain about Xiao Zhai. It was just that she had finally returned home and saw the Admiral, who she rarely saw, so she subconsciously wanted to pour out the hardships she had suffered in the past few days when she was away.

Bismarck hesitated, gave Xiao Zhai a look that said, "We'll settle the score when we get home." Then he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to the cafeteria. Yixian has specially prepared several of her specialties to welcome you. Xiaohua, your sister has also personally cooked your favorite food for you."

"Sister Washington? Or Sister North Carolina?" Xiaohua tilted his head and asked curiously.

"They are all here." Bismarck touched Xiaohua's head.

"Is Sister Nelson here too?" Xiao Luo was still timid. Even though Rodney was standing next to her and she was facing her own admiral, she still looked a little timid.

"Yeah." Bismarck pulled the corners of his mouth, trying to make a gentle expression, but Xiao Luo's reaction seemed to be even more frightened.

Xue Cheng looked at Bismarck, who was biting his lip and seemed a little shocked, and said with a smile: "Let's go, everyone must be waiting anxiously."

161. Gift

When they arrived at the cafeteria, Xiaohua and Xiaoluo saw their sisters whom they had not seen for a long time. They happily clung to them and chattered about what they had seen and heard when they were out. Xiaozhai was taken aside by Bismarck alone, but before Bismarck could start preaching, Xiaozhai took out a gift from the ship's space and started to bribe them.

"This is for Sister Miao!" Xiao Zhai pulled out an exquisite and beautiful samurai sword with a sheath from the faint ripples of space, held it in both hands, and solemnly handed it to Bismarck.

Bismarck's scolding words were immediately blocked. She looked at Xiao Zhai, whose eyes were shining and full of expectation, as if she was waiting for her praise. She touched her head and casually drew out the samurai sword.

This knife seems to be exquisitely made, but in Bismarck's eyes, it is obviously a work of art. The curvature and thickness of the blade do not conform to mechanics, and the blade is not even sharpened.

Bismarck flicked the blade lightly with her fingers. From the sound, she could tell that the quality of the knife was even very poor. It would probably break if it hit a hardwood stake. It was obviously just a decoration.

It seems not as good as my Crescent Moon.

Xue Cheng, who was standing by, thought of the precious sword he got from Omi. Whenever he had free time these days, he would take out the Crescent Moon to play with and admire it. He even wanted to hold it in his arms before sleeping. Even as an amateur, he could see that this work of art could not be compared with the Crescent Moon.

"Thank you, Xiao Zhai. I like it very much." Bismarck touched Xiao Zhai's head, and a gentle smile rarely appeared on his face, which was usually dull or serious.

"Hey! Little boy, where's mine?" Bei Zhai slumped in the chair next to him, like a mollusk, half of his body lying listlessly on the table, his cheek resting on his arm, looking at Xiao Zhai who was trying to please his sister.

Xiao Zhai made a face at Tirpitz and ignored her. He reached into the spatial ripples again, took out a gift and handed it to Xue Cheng: "Admiral, this is for you."

"I have a share too?" Xue Cheng pointed at himself in surprise. Seeing Xiao Zhai nodded seriously, he quickly took it in his hand.

He unwrapped the gift, revealing a small wooden box. Xue Cheng opened the box, revealing a palm-sized doll lying quietly inside. It had short white hair, two tufts of hair sticking up like cat ears, and was wearing a handsome black military uniform. She was...

"Is this Bismarck?" Xue Cheng raised his eyebrows, held the doll in front of Bismarck to compare, and said in amazement: "Excellent workmanship, it looks just like him!"

What Xue Cheng held in his hand was not a realistic doll, but one with a two-dimensional style. It looked very similar to the Bismarck figure that he had seen on Earth before but had not bought due to lack of money.

Bismarck looked at the doll in surprise and asked curiously, "Where did you buy it? Why does it look so much like me?"

It's no wonder that Bismarck was confused. This world is different from the game. Although there are countless ship girls with the same name, each of them has a different appearance.

Of course, some commonalities exist.

For example, almost all Vittorio Veneto have a flat body and a small height, and all Bismarcks have short white hair after the transformation.

However, although the style of this figure tends to be two-dimensional, Bismarck can tell at a glance that the person who made the figure definitely used himself as a template.

"I specially customized this figurine. Because it uses a photo of Sister Miao, the degree of restoration is very high."

Xiao Zhai blinked and explained before Bismarck could lose his temper, "The craftsman is an elderly woman with superb craftsmanship. She has a strong sense of professional ethics and would not disclose a customer's information without authorization. That's why I dared to... Uh, Sister Miao, I'm sorry..."

Bismarck widened her eyes, and she suddenly realized that the usually well-behaved Xiao Zhai seemed to be not an easy person to deal with. Fortunately, the person who provided the photo was also a woman, and if what Xiao Zhai said was true, the other party was really a famous craftsman and should not use her photo to do anything bad.

"Hey! Little brat!" Tirpitz said unhappily when he saw that Xue Cheng and Bismarck both had gifts. "Where's mine? Where's my share? You didn't forget, did you?"

Xiao Zhai crossed his arms and deliberately avoided looking at her. It was not until Tirpitz was about to lose his temper that he slowly took out a beautifully wrapped gift box and handed it to her.
