Even in the world of Kancolle, I want to drive a robot!

Not every son of Prometheus is as beastly as their second brother, who can defeat all opponents in a night of fierce battle and still be full of energy to fight with the Supreme with bayonets the next day.

RX-16 was filled with envy for Xia Bai's strength. He was envious in every sense of the word. If he could be as powerful as his second brother, he would not have ended up like this.

16 also asked Xia Bai what the secret of his strength was, but Xia Bai said that he didn't know. He had always had enough combat endurance in bed and on the mecha, as if his blood was locked. No matter how he was beaten, he could always make a desperate comeback.

Thinking back to Xia Bai's blood-locking process in The Grand Battle, RX-16 could only sigh that he could not learn it.

Chapter 86 I Wanted to Refuse, But...

After chatting in the study, Xia Bai and Arnold went to the restaurant to have lunch with RX-16 and Cecilia.

During the meal, he also saw Arnold's ten wedding ships and Xiao 16's "Seven Equal Bride". Facing seven people who looked exactly the same except for their slightly different body shapes, Xia Bai did not feel envious, but only a creepy sense of fear.

Being beautiful or not is another matter. Just thinking about having seven phoenixes of different sizes surrounding him and being stared at by seven pairs of eyes filled with passionate love made him feel something was wrong.

And RX-16 can remain calm in the face of such gazes. He is worthy of being Xia Bai's younger brother and is truly a god.

After lunch, Xia Bai left on the pretext of going to the Maritime Administration. Before leaving, Cecilia quietly found him and handed him a small box of red cigarettes.

"The inspection has been strict recently. I have sold you the RX-16. What on earth do you want to do by offering bribes like this?" Xia Bai put the red tip into the ship's space with all his heart and lowered his voice, looking like a guilty thief.

Throwing her long golden hair behind her shoulders, Cecilia said calmly: "This is just my personal thanks to you. Thank you for letting me get the RX-16. Next is..."

Before he finished speaking, a larger box appeared at Xia Bai's feet.

"I want the right to name 16. He said the name will only be decided by you. Name your price."

With a sneer, Xia Bai refused seriously: "Hehe, I'm not that kind of person, please take it back."

"Why did I introduce RX-16 to you? It's because I think Cecilia is suitable for him and I love him. Otherwise, it would be impossible no matter how many red tips you give me."

"The right to name is my last resort as the second brother. I absolutely cannot refuse..."

"There are 10,000 red spikes in the box. Is that enough?"

"..."

Looking at Cecilia and then at the box at his feet, Xia Bai accepted the red tip and said calmly, "Don't do it again next time. Tell RX-16 that the name you chose was the one given by his second brother."

"Nothing else, I'll take my leave now. Goodbye."

Having once again crossed the line, Xia Bai was too embarrassed to stay and face RX-16. He simply said goodbye and left in a hurry.

Looking at Xia Bai's hurried back, Cecilia's mouth curled up slightly, gradually turning a sickly red.

"It's so easy to get rid of... In this way, 16 belongs to us, only to us, hehehe~"

Before she finished her words, six girls who looked identical came to Cecilia, held up their faces, and laughed morbidly.

After leaving the wealthy area, Xia Bai trotted towards the Maritime Administration with ease. Although his sense of direction was not good, he still remembered the way as he had been there once.

Memory is very clever. It helps people record meaningful things and objects, while also slowly deleting less important things.

For the people of Takers, Captain Thompson Jackson of Justice has become a thing of the past since the riot ended. At least when walking on the street, no one recognized Xia Bai, the man who staged the atrocities on live TV.

After all, those who seek the truth are a minority. Perhaps in the eyes of the spectators, after getting a satisfactory answer, they no longer care about the inside story rather than the incident itself. The arrest of General Edward and senior military officers is enough.

As for what happened to Captain Thompson Jackson, no one cared or paid attention.

"How forgetful! I was so careful."

Finding that the pedestrians ignored his presence, Xia Bai smiled relaxedly and slowed down his pace. While admiring this beautiful coastal city that had been attacked by tolerance, he was thinking about what good places he could choose if he brought Sirius and Kewei to play.

At this moment, a familiar figure, one big and one small, came into his sight. After wiping his eyes to make sure it was the other person, Xia Bai walked up quickly and put his hand on the other person's shoulder.

"If I remember correctly, today is the White Eagle's exercise day. What are you doing in Fulk City... Don't be so nervous, it's me."

Originally, St. Louis was prepared to teach a lesson to anyone who dared to touch his body, but when he found out it was Xia Bai, his expression immediately softened.

Before she could speak, the shorty Saratoga beside her hastily replied, "The exercise is over, so Sister Sara and St. Louis didn't come to Fulk City to be lazy~"

"You are being so rude. I am not the leader of the White Eagles. Why are you so nervous?"

After thinking for a while, Saratoga pointed at the corner of her mouth and said in a strange tone, "Yes, why am I so nervous?"

"...Hmm, maybe it's because you, Xia Bai, are so scary."

Ignoring Saratoga's pretense, Xia Bai turned to St. Louis and asked, "I'm going to the Maritime Administration to attend the commander's banquet. Will St. Louis come?"

"Female companion?"

St. Louis tilted her head slightly, her face expressionless at this moment, making it difficult to guess what she was thinking.

"Probably. Anyway, those commanders all bring ship girls with them. It wouldn't be good if I don't bring them with me. Of course, you don't have to go. I won't force you."

It was RX-03 who went there first and informed Xia Bai that the commander brought the ship girl with him. Originally, he thought it didn't matter whether he brought her or not, but since they met St. Louis by coincidence, it was not impossible to invite her to go.

After all, Xia Bai doesn't want to be treated specially, and St. Louis is the famous White Eagle rich lady. Even if it is just a light cruiser, it can expose other commanders.

Bringing a ship girl to the command banquet... Haha, isn't this Sima Zhao's intention known to everyone? Xia Bai doesn't believe that the ship girl is brought to serve as a guard. Fulk City is the location of the Maritime Administration and the largest commander school. No one dares to play assassination here.

Even if Xia Bai didn't take the initiative to expose others, others would find opportunities to expose him. In this case, he might as well take the initiative and be the bad guy.

"Hey, don't ignore me, Sister Sarah will be angry!"

With a smile on his face, St. Louis took the initiative to hug Xia Bai's right arm and said with a smile: "I am your wedding ship. It's not good to leave the commander alone. Let's go."

"Saint Louis, when did you betray White Eagle and become Xia Bai's wedding ship...wait for sister Sarah!"

Seeing the two figures gradually disappearing into the distance, Saratoga hurriedly chased after them with her short legs, thinking that she must teach these two guys who ignored her a lesson.

Chapter 87 Oh, My Sister

"Saint Louis, when did you secretly find Xia Bai to be the commander? Have you forgotten the glorious mission of the White Eagle?"

"It has become a wedding ship...Does Enterprise know about it?"

"Tell me, Sister Sarah is very tight-lipped."

Focusing on the front, St. Louis held the steering wheel attentively and said without turning his head: "I'm driving, Saratoga, please talk less and don't disturb me."

Seeing that St. Louis was extremely tight-lipped and refused to reveal any information, Saratoga rolled her eyes and smiled sinisterly at Xia Bai.

"Hehehe, Xia Bai, please tell me. We are partners in the fight."

Xia Bai picked up Saratoga's collar and threw it back into the back seat, so as not to affect his business. He said unhappily, "There are many people fighting with me. Who do you think you are?"

"Why are you asking so many questions at such a young age? Didn't Lexington tell you that the more you know, the faster you die?"

His expression became somewhat scary. Xia Bai clenched his fists and threatened Saratoga, trying to make this flat-bed aircraft carrier give up.

But who is Saratoga? Although she is petite, she is a veteran ship girl in White Eagle. Even Enterprise has to call her "old friend". She is used to lawlessness, so how could she be afraid of Xia Bai's intimidation.

Saratoga pulled her face into a grimace and stuck out her tongue: "Lelulu, Sister Lexington can't control Saratoga."

"If you don't tell me, I will tell the company about this and separate you and your husband."

"..."

Looking at Saratoga's funny expression, Xia Bai was silent for a while, and asked St. Louis seriously: "Why do I feel that she is more childish than a destroyer? Is this guy really your White Eagle's aircraft carrier?"

"She is the Lexington II, the 'pioneer of aviation tactics' Saratoga..."

Steering the wheel again, turning the car into the shortcut to the Maritime Administration, St. Louis chuckled, "It's strange, isn't it? She's a famous ship girl, but she's so small and childish, and she likes to play pranks all day long. Even Enterprise feels bad for her."

"Hey! Don't ignore me. I can grow up too."

Ignoring Saratoga's protest in the back seat, Xia Bai said indifferently, "It's not surprising. After all, Elizabeth and Nagato are the same. However, they are obviously more mature than Saratoga... At least Elizabeth wouldn't say such stupid things."

"Also, Saratoga, if you take down that little note behind me, I can pretend nothing happened."

Saratoga was secretly happy that her prank 'appetizer' had succeeded, but after hearing what Xia Bai said, her face dropped again.

After honestly tearing off the note she had just posted, Saratoga said awkwardly, "Do you have eyes behind you? How did you see that?"

Pointing at the rearview mirror on the car, Xia Bai said calmly: "That's why I said you're stupid. You don't look like an aircraft carrier girl at all. Look at what this is."

"You're still playing a prank. It's rare to see a ship girl as childish as you. Eat more walnuts... By the way, your mental fluctuations have already betrayed your thoughts. Remember to cover up before you do anything."

Saratoga failed!

Staring at the back of the man in the front seat, Saratoga could not find any flaws in him. The best description of him was "impeccable".

The usual pranks are no longer interesting to Saratoga. She has now found a new opponent. If she can play a good trick on Xia Bai, her prank skills will definitely be improved.

After deciding on the strategy for future pranks, Saratoga lowered her head and stopped talking, thinking about how to defeat Xia Bai.

Sensing Saratoga's "malice" towards him, Xia Bai glanced at her meaningfully, thinking that this little shorty didn't listen to advice, so she had to be taught a lesson.

Xia Bai would definitely not bully the weak. It was not right for a seven-foot-tall man like him to bully a small ship girl. But the little white fox was still in the White Eagle Port Area. He could just go back and talk to Jiang Feng about this.

Looking at Saratoga's tiny arms and legs, it is probably no match for Jiang Feng. The cute little white fox will definitely teach the opponent a profound lesson.

Just like that, with their different thoughts, St. Louis drove the car smoothly to the Maritime Administration.

"Bai, you came at the right time..."

When Xia Bai entered the inner hall of the Maritime Administration, the bored RX-03 immediately went to greet him, but when he saw St. Louis beside him, his face became very gloomy.

Originally, RX-03 thought that since Xia Bai did not bring the ship girl out, it would be best for her to be the female companion. Getting to the top cannot be done quickly, one can just take it step by step. However, the appearance of St. Louis undoubtedly disrupted RX-03's plan.

She has no legitimate reason...

Remembering Saint Louis deeply, RX-03 smiled in a formal way and asked softly, "What a coincidence! I was just worried about Bai not having a female companion. If you hadn't come, Saint Louis, I might have done it myself."

Why does it feel weird? Maybe I heard it wrong...

Thinking of RX-03's usual behavior, St. Louis didn't take her words to heart. He covered his mouth and chuckled, "It's quite a coincidence that I suddenly met the commander on the street. Maybe it's the fate between the commander and the ship girl."

After saying that, St. Louis hugged Xia Bai's left arm tightly, with a sweet and happy smile on his pretty face. All this made RX-03 feel very uncomfortable.

Before yesterday, 03 wouldn't care about the intimate behavior of the ship girl towards Xia Bai, but after making up her mind not to let go, she felt that the existence of the ship girl was increasingly irritating.

Especially this St. Louis in front of him, not only does he have such a vulgar figure, but he also snatched away his opportunity without even realizing it.

With his fists clenched slightly, RX-03 put St. Louis on his blacklist in his mind, and then asked Xia Bai without changing his expression: "Bai, what do you think of me today?"

Hearing this, Xia Bai looked up and down at RX-03. Against the backdrop of the black dress, the already pretty girl looked even more beautiful. Her pretty face, which usually did not wear any makeup, looked even more gorgeous with the embellishment of light makeup. She was as mysterious and elegant as a proudly blooming black lotus.

Her arms were wrapped in long black gauze gloves with lace edges, occasionally revealing her fair skin. Gemstone earrings hung on her small and round earlobes, and her long black hair was draped over her shoulders.

Her legs were straight and slender, not a bit fatter and not a bit thinner, without any discomfort. Her snow-white feet were wearing peep-toe high-heeled shoes, with patterned ribbons woven up from the ankles.

After yesterday's confession, Xia Bai knew what RX-03 meant, but he was still hesitant and conflicted.

The love of a younger sister is a bit heavy...

Chapter 88 The new commander wants to show off his ship to Xia Bai

In fact, Xia Bai has always had difficulty making decisions and is not very good at making choices.

According to the current situation, RX-03 and Xia Bai have no blood relationship. Just as Patton said, they are at most brothers and sisters. There is no problem if they really want to be together. At most, people who know the situation will tease them that their biological sister has become a love sister.

But emotions are inherently complicated, and Xia Bai takes every one of his emotions very seriously. From the time he woke up until now, he really only has family affection for RX-03, not love.

Otherwise, there would be no such thing as KanColle. Xia Bai and 03 had been in love when they were on Spland Island. Even if he really wanted to accept her now, it was not impossible. But would it be okay after accepting her? Would his feelings towards 03 definitely change?

If after a long time, the siblings still cannot be transformed into lovers, wouldn't it be too cruel for 03? In this case, no matter what choice Xia Bai makes, it will be selfish.

So Xia Bai chose to postpone this matter and wait until he had fully considered it before telling 03 his decision.

But 03's current actions are undoubtedly testing Xia Bai's heart bit by bit, trying to force him to throw away the entanglement and hesitation in his heart, slowly approaching him with another image, and changing his feelings towards himself.

After thinking for a while, Xia Bai considered the wording and slowly said, "Very beautiful. It suits you very well. I never noticed that my sister is so beautiful before."

"Bai, am I just a younger sister?"

The thin cherry lips raised up a shallow arc, and a smile bloomed on RX-03's bright and beautiful face. There was a bit of laziness and temptation in the loss, which was deeply reflected in Xia Bai's heart, making people want to hold the other party in their arms and cherish her.

This little girl is too powerful. I am no match for her...

Feeling his heart beating, Xia Bai replied guiltily: "Well, probably just a sister...well, probably."

As if trying to convince himself, Xia Bai shook his head and nodded slightly, which was quite funny.

It has to be said that this trick is very effective against a superficial and vulgar man like Xia Bai. 03's beauty, which had never been shown before, fully blossomed today, even overshadowing many of the ship girls present.

It was not until this time that Xia Bai stopped treating her as his sister and started to regard her as a woman. It can be said that the purpose of RX-03 has been achieved.

"Maybe... Hehehe~ It seems that you yourself are not so sure in your heart."

"Thank you for your compliment. This is enough for me."

Seeing RX-03's happy face, Xia Bai knew that it wouldn't be long before they could talk, so he sighed and said, "Well, let's talk about it when we get back. This place is not convenient."

With a smile on his face, RX-03 nodded, hugged Xia Bai's other arm under the gaze of St. Louis, and then the group came to the sofa in the corner of the hall and sat down.

There are many such sofas in the hall. They are placed two by two, and there is a small table in front of them. This is for commanders who have good relationships to talk together. It is a more humane setting.
