Elder brother's garrison

"Hmm." Veneto blinked, glanced at Missouri a few times, and thought for a moment. "Speaking of which... although I've been in charge of training Veneto from Admiral Nia's household these past few days, I just knocked her into the recovery pool, and she probably won't be out for a while. So I happen to have some free time now. Since the Admiral is going out, why don't we go together?"

"I never thought Missouri would have the chance to go out with Senior Veneto. This is truly a rare treat." Missouri smiled at Xiaobai. "Admiral, what do you think?"

"Of course...of course!" Xiaobai nodded hurriedly, then looked at Changchun, "Changchun...you...you...do you want to come along?"

"Can I?!" Changchun exclaimed, clasping her hands together in delight, a smile immediately spreading across her adorable face. "Thank you, Admiral! I'm so excited!"

"call……"

Seeing this, Xiaobai finally breathed a slight sigh of relief, but as soon as she relaxed, she suddenly felt a heavy weight in her heart again.

Watching the three married ships discussing their outing with great interest, a subtle sense of guilt, as if she had done something wrong, enveloped Xiaobai's heart.

—I feel like it would be better to tell you what happened between me and Akagi last night.

It's not good to keep it a secret, really.

—Although Xiaobai didn't really mean to hide it, she just didn't know how to bring it up.

—Or, after I get back tonight, I can go to their rooms one by one and tell them about Akagi from the Deep Sea…

—Although I'm a little embarrassed to say this directly in front of the three of them, I think I would have the courage to do it in a one-on-one situation.

Xiao Bai thought to himself hastily.

With something on her mind, Xiao Bai responded absentmindedly to the three wedding ships, and then the four of them walked towards the outside of the temporary garrison.

On the way to their destination, the three married ship owners chatted.

"Hmm... Come to think of it, it's quite rare to see you two together around the Admiral," Veneto said to the other two married ships. "Why are you all here together today? Is it for the same reason?"

"Is Sister Veneto also like this?" Changchun looked at Veneto curiously.

“Yes.” Veneto nodded, exchanging a glance with Missouri, who remained silent, before glancing sideways at Little White. “Looks like Missouri is too?”

"Huh?" Surrounded by the wedding ships, Xiaobai was taken aback. She looked at the three people around her. "What reason?"

"Huh? Isn't it Deep Sea Akagi?" Veneto said to Xiaobai as if it were a matter of course.

"Huh? You guys knew?"

"Senior Akagi from the Deep Sea..."

"After all, the features are too obvious..." Changchun covered his mouth and chuckled, "The admiral still has a faint scent of Akagi from the Deep Sea on him."

"Admiral, really. Akagi's constitution is so special. You should at least wash yourself properly after you come into contact with her," Veneto instructed Shiro. "It's not that you can't touch her, Admiral, but we're basically staying at someone else's house right now. It would be a little embarrassing if someone else's ship girl found out about this."

"Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh??" Little White opened his mouth, looking at Missouri in a daze.

Missouri looked back at Little White with a smile.

So... the marriage ships already knew all along?

Chapter 2863 Too much happiness naturally breeds guilt

Xiao Bai looked at the three wedding ships beside her, her face turning pale, then red, then purple.

Before long, steam began to rise from Xiaobai's head.

"...So...you already knew..." Xiaobai lowered her hands, looking at her palms, lost in confusion. "Then what exactly was I doing just now..."

“The admiral is quite adorable when he’s in a panic,” Missouri chuckled, covering her mouth.

“Missouri…” Xiaobai looked at Missouri with some helplessness, but as she said this, she suddenly felt weak all over and lowered her head to let out a long sigh.

Xiaobai remained silent for a few seconds.

"I'm sorry..." Xiaobai apologized to the three married ships.

"Huh? What's wrong with the Admiral? Why is he suddenly apologizing to us?" Changchun looked at Xiaobai curiously.

"...I should have told you about this before giving Akagi the wedding ring." Xiaobai sincerely apologized to the three wedding ships.

The three women on the wedding ship looked at each other.

"I see, the Admiral is apologizing for this." The three married ships suddenly laughed. "It's alright, Akagi is fine, after all, she's considered slow."

"...Huh? What slow?"

“Haven’t she been your bed warmer for almost half a year?” Veneto said matter-of-factly. “Although she’s not a wedding ship, she’s been doing the things of a wedding ship for the past six months, hasn’t she? I’m quite curious why you haven’t given her a ring for so long, Admiral.”

"Actually, it's not just us... even the other older sisters at the naval base have probably tacitly accepted this, right?" Changchun said, covering her mouth.

"Today can be considered a great success for Senior Akagi of the Deep Sea," Missouri said with a smile. "Congratulations!"

"Eh... so Akagi from the Deep Sea is accepted so well at the naval base..."

"Hmm... In my opinion, she's a bit like the second Missouri sister, somewhat similar, but also somewhat different. In any case, she's the kind of sister that's easy to like!" Changchun held up a finger and said to Xiaobai with a smile, "Admiral, don't you know? There are quite a few sisters in the naval base who are fans of Akagi-neechan. They've been wondering when you'll finally give Akagi-neechan a ring."

“After all, our admiral can sometimes be quite dense,” Veneto said regretfully.

"How...how could this be..."

As Xiaobai listened to the three wedding ships, her head was spinning, and she looked at the three wedding ships in front of her.

"So... the reason you all suddenly appeared together today..."

"Of course, we're here to congratulate Akagi (senior) of the Deep Sea." The three married ships exchanged glances and then said in unison, "After all, we'll be family from now on."

dong dong dong-

Little White staggered and fell into Missouri's arms.

……

After in-depth discussions with the ship girls who were getting married, Xiaobai realized that the ship girls in the newbie naval base had long regarded Akagi as the admiral's marriage ship.

Ship girls are easily moved by beautiful stories.

After all, from the perspective of the ship girls, the story of Akagi is quite romantic.

—Born on the high seas, Akagi lived a carefree life on the surface for hundreds of years, far removed from conflict, humans, and ship girls. She could have lived like this until the end of the world, but an accident caused her to lose her Akagi equipment. From a powerful Akagi, she degenerated into an ordinary human girl with no strength to even kill a chicken. She was found, captured, imprisoned, and trained by the humans she had once distanced herself from, and used as a tool to swindle money. Just when Akagi was in such a desperate situation and even thought of ending her life, her admiral appeared like a hero, rescued her from the darkness, and brought her back to the naval base. He promised to treat her well as long as she didn't leave. From then on, Akagi's face was filled with smiles. She and her admiral spent a happy life in the naval base. The ending.

The most brilliant part of this story is that Akagi Fukami is extremely beautiful and has a captivating, intoxicating body fragrance that transcends gender.

Good heavens, this is the kind of Mary Sue novel heroine character setting.

It was both awkward and exhilarating!

It's almost identical to the concept of colorful pupils that glow with emotions, and hair that's long enough for people to play with ladders!

That's awesome!

Upon learning the story of Abyssal Akagi, the novice ship girls at the naval base were practically overwhelmed with girlish charm and nearly collapsed in admiration.

This is... the perfect hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress story!

After experiencing all these things, the ship girls in the newbie naval base felt no jealousy whenever they saw Akagi clinging to Shiro; instead, they felt a kind of joy, as if they were shipping a couple.

There's absolutely no problem with Akagi liking the Admiral!

After all, if the ship girls asked themselves honestly, anyone in the naval base would fall in love with the admiral without hesitation if they experienced Akagi's experience!

Which girl hasn't earnestly hoped to be saved by a lovely princess?

……

Xiao Bai covered his forehead, sighed deeply, and walked down the street.

"Ah, Admiral, look over there, look over there! Those snacks over there look delicious!" Changchun pointed to a nearby vendor's stall and naturally took Xiaobai's arm. "Shall we go buy some?"

Xiao Bai was led by Chang Chun to a vendor, where they bought two bags of freshly popped popcorn.

"Admiral, ah—" Changchun pinched a kernel of popcorn and fed it to Xiaobai one by one with a smile, "Admiral, is it delicious?"

"Hmm..." Xiaobai picked up a kernel of popcorn and handed it to Changchun.

"Ah—" Changchun clenched his hands over his chest and opened his mouth with a pious expression.

Xiaobai fed popcorn to Changchun.

Changchun munched on popcorn, grinned at Xiaobai, and looked extremely satisfied.

"I didn't expect they'd even sell something like this in Chapter Eight." Veneto returned from another stall, holding a butterfly knife in her hand. Her slender fingers deftly twirled the knife, making it spin and change shape. "Generally speaking, these things aren't supposed to be legally sold, are they?"

“I heard from the seniors that the vendors in Chapter 8 are all selected by the Admiral’s Guild and are all individual organizations guaranteed by the major naval bases,” Missouri said with a smile. “So it’s normal to see some controlled knives being sold here. After all, for the ship girls, knives and toys are no different.”

“That’s true.” Veneto fiddled with the butterfly knife.

“…Senior Veneto, you are really good at wielding a knife.”

“Hmm…Back in human society, I studied it to look more like a mature adult.” Veneto swung the butterfly knife in his hand, the tip of the blade tracing silvery arcs between his fingertips. “Unfortunately, the effect wasn’t very good.”

"Hmm? What's wrong with it?"

“The police often come and confiscate my knives.”

"After all, it's considered a type of controlled knife..."

"So I was quite surprised to find this here." Veneto gently gripped the butterfly knife, the rapidly swinging tool now held in her hand, and handed it to Missouri. "Want to try it?"

“Missouri isn’t good at this,” Missouri shook her head.

"Give it a try, I'll teach you."

"Thank you very much, Senior Veneto." Missouri smiled as she accepted the butterfly knife, gently lifting the blade with her fingers.

Veneto watched this scene, a smirk playing on his lips, and looked toward Missouri.

“You’re lying,” Veneto said. “Your technique clearly shows you’ve studied how to twirl a butterfly knife.”

“I’m just copying what I see in the video. Missouri is still quite inexperienced.” Missouri said with a smile. “It seems that Missouri still has a long way to go before she can reach the level of perfect harmony between man and sword like her predecessors.”

“You’re a smooth talker,” Veneto said, pointing to the butterfly knife. “Since you can use it, here’s the knife for you.”

"Really? Missouri will take good care of your gift, senior."

“It’s only a few hundred dollars.” Veneto thought for a moment and said to Missouri, “How about this, if you want to repay me in any way, come to the training ground tomorrow if you’re free. My family’s Roma and Admiral Nia’s Veneto are always training with me, which isn’t good for their long-term development. They urgently need a new opponent right now. You were once a top-tier battleship, so training them together might be twice as effective.”

“In that case, Missouri will do her best.” Missouri nodded with a smile.

……

Missouri and Veneto chatted and laughed, exchanging pleasantries.

Xiaobai and Changchun snuggled together, Xiaobai feeling the touch of Changchun on her arm, while watching the two wedding ships in front of them chatting.

A dreamlike feeling was lingering in Xiaobai's heart.

“Changchun…” Xiaobai raised his hand, looking at his palm with great sadness.

"Hmm? Admiral, what's wrong?" Changchun asked curiously.

"...Am I...a scumbag woman now..." Xiaobai's eyes were filled with tears.

"How could that be!" Changchun quickly shook his head, and then, as if to prove something, he rubbed his face against Xiaobai's. "The Admiral is better than 99% of the Admirals in the world! I like the Admiral the most! The ladies at the naval base also like the Admiral very much!"

"But……"

"No buts! Admiral, you have to have confidence in yourself!" Changchun hugged Xiaobai's face and kept saying to her, "Admiral, you are the best admiral in the world right now! There's no doubt about it! Because the happiness of our naval base is brought to us by you, Admiral!"

"Waaah... Changchun... you're so kind..." Xiaobai was moved to tears and hugged Changchun.

"Hehe... It's alright..." Changchun, embarrassed, hugged Xiaobai back in front of everyone, laughing with a flushed face.

Chapter 2864 Research Ship Girls Belong Only to Me

Xiaobai and Changchun were seen kissing and acting coy in the street.

Missouri and Veneto, who were chatting, turned around and looked at the two women in the direction of the voice.

“Oh my, the Admiral and Senior Changchun have such a close relationship,” Missouri said with a smile. “It’s truly enviable.”

“Do you still need to envy others?” Veneto said to Missouri.

“That’s natural. After all, it’s quite difficult for Missouri to see the Admiral normally.” Missouri smiled at Veneto.

“You can’t just not see him.” Veneto poked Missouri’s flat belly. “If you really want to keep the Admiral’s position, I doubt many people in the entire naval base can compete with you.”

“How could that be?” Missouri folded his hands and smiled at Veneto. “Missouri isn’t that kind of person. Besides, if Missouri keeps shamelessly pestering the Admiral, even the Admiral will eventually get tired of Missouri.”

“Sigh…” Veneto sighed, “You…”

Perhaps that's why most of the ship girls in the naval base don't dislike Missouri.

With that thought in mind, Veneto put aside his thoughts and glanced around.

It was afternoon, and the city in Chapter Eight was bathed in sunshine, making it a perfect time for a stroll. As the admiral and his group walked down the street, they saw not only vendors operating normally but also many admirals and ship girls passing by.
