Elder brother's garrison

Page 1087

Changchun, who had been sitting on the ground, suddenly stood up and pounced on Xiaobai.

"Admiral!" Changchun hugged Xiaobai tightly around the waist, her face pressed against Xiaobai's belly. She rubbed against Xiaobai's belly and nodded in agreement, her voice filled with undisguised excitement, "I do! I do! I do!"

The sounds of Changchun are like flowers blooming.

It was filled with a rich fragrance and joy.

Xiao Bai was tackled by Changchun and landed back on the sofa.

Sitting back on the sofa, Xiaobai looked at Changchun, who was excitedly rushing to her, nodding and praising her with a beaming smile, and hugging her waist. Xiaobai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

“…Ah…that’s great.” Xiaobai gave an embarrassed smile. “I just thought you didn’t want my ring, Changchun…”

"No, not at all! Not even a little bit! I'm willing! If it's the Admiral's ring, I'm willing! I'm willing to become the Admiral's wedding ship!" Changchun shook her head heavily, then looked up at Xiaobai and gave her an incredibly bright smile. "I'm so happy right now! Extremely happy! I feel even happier than when I got the chance to upgrade, unlocked my skills, fired my first missile, and won against Fubuki in the exercise!"

"Then why did you react so scary just now..." Xiaobai pouted, "I saw you weren't saying anything, and you even sat down on the ground because I scared you, so I thought you were having trouble with my request..."

"No, no, Admiral, I'm just too excited!" Changchun shook her head excitedly, her big eyes filled with glistening tears. "I just... I just felt that things like rings and becoming a marriage ship were things that were very, very far away from me. I never expected that the Admiral would suddenly bring up such an idea at a time like this... So for a moment, it feels like a dream... It really feels like a dream!"

As Changchun spoke, he tightened his grip on Xiaobai even more.

“If I hadn’t been able to feel the warmth from the Admiral’s palms and touch his body from the very beginning, and hadn’t been able to hold him… I would really feel like I’m dreaming!” Changchun said.

"A dream...ah..." Xiaobai looked down and stared at Changchun for a while, then murmured with deep feeling, nodding somewhat subtly, "Hmm...how should I put it, although it sounds a bit strange, I do have this feeling that I'm dreaming..."

As Xiaobai finished speaking, she reached out and gently cupped Changchun's face in her hands, then lowered her head and carefully examined Changchun's appearance.

"Well... how should I put it? Although I knew before that you were very cute, Changchun... but for some reason, from the moment I started looking at your face, I suddenly had a very strange impulse..."

"Impulsive?" Changchun asked curiously, letting Xiaobai cup his cheeks.

Xiao Bai freed one finger and gently wiped Changchun's lips.

"It's just... the urge to give you a ring..." Xiaobai murmured thoughtfully. She paused, then quickly explained, "Ah! Changchun, don't misunderstand. While that's the reason I suggested you become my marriage ship, it's not entirely because of that. Actually, I've often thought about how wonderful it would be if you were my marriage ship. This impulse just gave me the courage to say it out loud!"

"So that's how it is..." Changchun looked at Xiaobai with emotion, then excitedly hugged Xiaobai and straightened her body. "Me too! I, I often think about how wonderful it would be if I could become the Admiral's marriage ship!"

"Hmm! It's great that you don't dislike my ring, Changchun!" Xiaobai gently stroked Changchun's hair. "Uh... but, Changchun..."

"What is it, Admiral?"

"Although I just asked if you wanted my ring... well, how should I put it..." Xiaobai glanced sideways, awkwardly scratching her cheek, "but actually, I don't have a wedding ring for the ship yet..."

Xiaobai's ship equipment space contains a lot of miscellaneous items, including spare food and water, daily necessities, and many other items that Xiaobai casually threw in when she had nowhere else to put things.

Of course, there was no spare wedding ring among these items.

After all, Xiaobai isn't such a bad girl that she always has several dozen wedding rings on hand and throws them at any ship girl she likes without a second thought.

Well, not yet, at least not now.

"It's alright, Admiral!" Although Xiaobai said she didn't have a ring yet, Changchun didn't seem to care. She shook her head, pressed her body against Xiaobai, and smiled contentedly. "The ring doesn't have to be given out now... I can wait!"

"I'm sorry, Changchun... I'll ask Akashi to make you a really, really beautiful ring." Xiaobai smiled at Changchun. "Um... it might take a couple of days. Normally, we should submit the marriage application after we have the ring... but I'm really sorry this time, Changchun, you might have to make do for a couple more days..."

"Mm!" Changchun nodded, feeling the touch and warmth from Xiaobai's body, and smiled nonchalantly. "Thank you, Admiral!"

Do what you say you will do.

After speaking with Changchun, Xiaobai took out his phone and dialed Mingshi's number.

After the phone rang three times, it was answered by a soft, sweet voice.

"Hello, meow, this is Akashi Supply Shop. What do you need, meow?" Akashi's voice came from the other end of the phone. "By the way, today's special at Akashi Shop is a full 40% off on Golden Equipment Boxes!"

"...Akashi, didn't we agree before that we wouldn't sell those fraudulent equipment boxes..."

"Eh? Meow meow meow meow!! It's the Admiral, meow?!" A series of rummaging sounds came from the other end of the phone. After a while, Akashi's flustered yet composed voice came through again, "Ahem, Admiral, the weather is so nice today. What brings you here, meow?"

"..." Xiaobai held her phone for a while, then finally gave up on arguing with Akashi about the equipment box. "It's like this, Akashi, about the wedding ring you made for Yamato-nee last time..."

"Akashi! Akashi didn't cut corners, meow! Akashi is a very professional craftswoman, meow! At most, she just secretly kept the scraps to enhance the equipment, meow!"

“…Using scraps requires Lord Su’s permission…” Xiaobai sighed. “But the real reason I came here is… Akashi, could you order another ring?”

"A ring? It's one of those rings that blocks the aura of the deep sea, meow?"

"It's a ring for a ship girl."

"Meow meow meow! Akashi understands! So, which ship girl does the Admiral want to give the ring to?"

"..." Xiaobai looked down and met Changchun's gaze. "It's Changchun."

"Okay, got it, meow! Akashi will make the most beautiful ring as quickly as possible!"

"About Akashi, regarding the size of Nagaharu's fingers and such..."

"Don't worry, Akashi has already secretly collected all the information on every customer who has ever visited Akashi Shop, meow!"

"...Wait a minute, Akashi, this is a crime... Collecting customer information is something that no matter how you look at it, it's unacceptable..."

"The weather is so nice today, meow! Admiral, Akashi has to go get back to work now, meow! Please send Akashi your favorite ring design before tonight, meow!"

Before Xiaobai could finish speaking, the sound of the call being disconnected came from Akashi's end.

Xiao Bai looked helplessly at the phone that had been hung up.

"That Akashi... really..." Shiro sighed, "What does her shop even sell...?"

"Akashi's shop sells very complete items!" Changchun said to Xiaobai.

"Oh...I see." Xiaobai smiled at Changchun. "Changchun, wait for me a moment, I'll make another call..."

"Huh? Do we still need to make a call?"

"Yes, I want it..."

"Who did the admiral call this time?"

"Military Police".

"Alas?"

"After all, Changchun is a destroyer."

"?"

"In short, Changchun, wait for me, I'm going to turn myself in first."

Chapter 1404 is a special drive

Duan Shuiliu's call went through quickly.

"Hey?"

A familiar female voice came from the other end of the phone, accompanied by the constant scribbling of pens in the background.

It seems that Duan Shuiliu is currently processing documents from the military police.

"Sister Duan?" Xiaobai asked in a low voice.

"Xiao Bai?" Duan Shuiliu answered instantly.

"Sister Duan!" Xiaobai nodded, "It's been a long time!"

"...It'll only be a few days." Duan Shuiliu's writing continued without stopping. "Hello, Xiaobai."

This time, Xiao Bai called Duan Shuiliu to turn himself in.

Of course, Xiao Bai's meaning was not as simple as asking Duan Shuiliu to send someone to his garrison to arrest him and bring him back to the military police station for questioning.

After all, confessing leads to leniency, while resisting leads to severity...

The issue of a destroyer being married can be a big deal or a small deal.

It's better to admit it sooner rather than later. After all, there's a certain amount of support here, so it's less trouble than if things come to light.

Xiao Bai first exchanged a few polite words with Duan Shuiliu.

Xiao Bai expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Duan Shuiliu and Lin Qing for helping him seal off the illegally operating town government a few days ago.

"..." On the other end of the phone, after hearing Xiaobai's thanks, Duan Shuiliu remained silent for a long time.

Unlike Xiaobai, Duan Shuiliu may not be good with words, but that doesn't mean she's not skilled in rhetoric.

Xiao Bai's overly polite words clearly imply that he has some unreasonable request.

"...Is there anything else I can help you with?"

After a moment of silence, Duan Shuiliu suddenly spoke up and asked.

"Uh...yes...yes."

Xiao Bai nodded shyly.

"tell me the story."

A voice with a faint smile came from Duan Shuiliu's side.

"Ahem... Sister Duan, it's like this." Xiaobai scratched her cheek, embarrassed as she composed herself. "Well, I just married another destroyer ship girl."

The rustling sound of pens moving on the other end of the microphone finally stopped.

"..." Duan Shuiliu remained silent for a long while, "Destroyer?"

"Ah."

"..." came the sound of documents being flipped through from Duan Shuiliu's end. "When?"

"Just now."

"What is your name?"

"Lu Lin."

"They're asking for the name of the destroyer."

"Uh... Changchun..."

"..." Duan Shuiliu continued flipping through the pages for a while, finally stopping after flipping to Changchun in the newbie naval base information. "...Hmm, found it."

"Um, Sister Duan... Changchun and I..."

“It’s alright, you can get married in Changchun,” Duan Shuiliu suddenly said.

"Huh?" Xiaobai was taken aback. "Sister Duan, what did you say?"

“Changchun is a ship girl target who can be married,” Duan Shuiliu said.

"...Huh? Why? Isn't she a destroyer?"

“She’s a missile destroyer,” Duan Shuiliu said. “And judging from her appearance, Changchun doesn’t look much different from a light cruiser or a heavy cruiser, so it doesn’t matter, you can marry her.”

"..." Xiaobai held her phone, blinked, "Uh...really?"

“Generally speaking, the prohibition against developing deep feelings for destroyers is actually due to the type of ship equipment. Although destroyers have matured values ​​and worldviews, their minds remain quite naive. If an evil admiral maliciously takes advantage of a destroyer's innocence, deceives her, and engages in inappropriate behavior, then our military police must intervene and investigate,” Duan Shuiliu said calmly. “But Changchun is already a missile destroyer. Having undergone a refit, she is no longer an ignorant child but possesses a mature mind. I believe she has the ability to judge her own actions—so, it's okay, you can marry her.”

“...Oh, I see…” Xiao Bai murmured as she listened to Duan Shuiliu’s reply while holding her phone.

“Of course.” Duan Shuiliu paused abruptly, his voice tinged with embarrassment and unease. “Even so… please don’t make a big fuss about it, it will put me in a difficult position.”

"……"noob.

Xiao Bai then understood.

It turns out that all Duan Shuiliu said before was just to find a safe way out for his marriage in Changchun.

"Thank you, Sister Duan..." Xiaobai said to the person on the other end of the phone, feeling touched.

"..." Duan Shuiliu did not reply. She was silent for a while before changing the subject, "Compared to this, the preliminary verdict has been reached on the illegal town government that was seized in Mianjiang City."

"Huh? What was the result?"

"Upon assuming the post of admiral, he was stripped of his position, sentenced to life imprisonment, and denied any possibility of commutation."

Where are his ship girls?

“That admiral imposed a very harsh management system on his ship girls. From the moment they stepped out of the construction facility, they had to endure long-term oppression and torment. Over the years, their will to act independently was gradually eroded, turning them into tools with almost no thoughts of their own except for the orders of their superiors,” Duan Shuiliu said. “That’s why this was taken into consideration when sentencing them, and the punishments for the ship girls were made a little lighter.”

“…I see.”

"Logically speaking, they should all be subjected to ship dismantling and then sentenced to several to more than ten years in prison." Duan Shuiliu paused slightly halfway through his sentence. "However, a small number of those who were involved in minor offenses will temporarily retain their ship girl status and then undergo a long period of reformation and education before being assigned to our military police as temporary personnel."

"...Huh? Is that okay?" Xiaobai blinked.

"Ah."

"That's a sinner ship girl..."
