Elder brother's garrison

Page 21

Changchun glanced at the teapot on the table.

"The tea here is quite good," Changchun said. "Well... I prefer baijiu (Chinese liquor) though."

"...You can't drink alcohol on a destroyer," the girl whispered a reminder.

"Hidden, huh?" Changchun looked around, seemingly searching for anyone who was hiding, before quietly lowering his voice to say to the girl, "...If you're not discovered, it's not against the rules."

After saying that, Changchun pointed behind him.

"I keep two bottles of vodka at home," Changchun said, making a drinking gesture with his hand. "When no one's around, I'll secretly pour myself a glass and chug it down."

"Oh..." The teacup girl looked at Changchun thoughtfully, "Then... where is it hidden?"

"Don't tell anyone," Changchun said. "It's in a hidden compartment in my wardrobe."

"Oh……"

"By the way, have you met the Admiral?" Changchun asked again.

"Hmm... sort of. I've seen it."

"Wow...that's so nice. Isn't she cute? The Admiral used to always say her younger sister was the cutest in the world." Changchun cupped her face, looking incredibly envious. "The Admiral is very busy; it's not easy to see him even once a weekday."

"Eh...really? You can't just say things like that...really..." The teacup girl's face turned bright red. She put down her teacup and swayed from side to side as if she were sitting on pins and needles.

"That's true, humans are generally not as pretty as ship girls, look at you." Changchun chuckled and reached out to poke the girl's rosy cheeks. "Let me tell you, you're super cute, you're definitely cuter than the admiral's sister."

In Changchun, it seemed as if you could see wisps of steam rising from the girl's head.

She's such a ship girl that you just can't help but want to tease her.

Changchun thought to himself.

"Oh right, I haven't asked you your name yet, miss."

“...Lu Lin.”

"Huh? A human name?" Changchun stared wide-eyed. "Then what are the names of the ship equipment..."

"I don't have ship equipment... I'm human..."

The girl with the teacup lowered her head and blushed as she spoke.

In an instant, a very ominous premonition enveloped Changchun's mind.

"Um... who is that young lady...?"

Just then, the sound of snow blowing came from outside the door.

"Admiral! Admiral! Fubuki's back!"

Changchun turned around and saw the four Chuixue sisters looking at him with bottles and jars of all sizes.

"Huh? Isn't this Kokang? Is the transformation complete? Wow, the changes are amazing!"

“You’ve become more beautiful,” Bai Xue said with a smile.

"Ah...ah..." Changchun stared blankly at Chuixue and the others, "Excuse me...what did you...just say..."

"Becoming more beautiful?"

"No, no... what did you call this young lady just now?"

"Admiral."

Admiral.

Du ah.

what.

Changchun looked at the girl, pause after pause.

"...Drinking..." The girl looked at Changchun and gave him a shy yet gentle smile. "You can't."

Chapter 25 As a big shot, one must actively seek revenge!

Time goes back two hours.

The destroyers' dormitories are on the first floor of the dormitory building. However, given the destroyers' high enthusiasm, there is a dedicated warehouse in the naval base for them. They usually use it to discuss pleasant things like conquering the world, and occasionally they also have seafood (deep-sea?) barbecues there.

Fubuki referred to it as a strategic base.

"Admiral! It's just ahead!" Fubuki, who was behind Xiaobai, stopped and waved her small hand in the air, pointing to the warehouse in the distance.

Looking over, Xiaobai saw a warehouse with its door wide open not far away.

It appears to have once been used to store ammunition or resources, but it has now been transformed into something more like a club.

A large banner was pasted directly above the warehouse, with the words "Number One in the World" written in thick calligraphy. Scattered in front of the warehouse were various chairs, tables, and small iron cages, among other small items whose purpose was unclear to the untrained eye.

Fubuki led Shiro to the warehouse door.

"Admiral, wait here for a moment." Fubuki turned around and said to Shiro, "I want to give Shiro and the others a surprise."

After saying that, the little girl skipped and hopped into the warehouse.

With nothing to do, Xiao Bai swayed and ran to a spot not far from the door, pricked up its ears, and listened inside.

"Sister, did you go to see the Admiral again?"

The first thing I heard was a gentle and soft female voice.

"Yes, I've asked the admiral to come and play with us."

"The Admiral's work is very demanding and tiring. What you're doing will put the Admiral in a difficult position."

"No, when I went in, the admiral was leisurely drinking tea."

"Maybe he just wanted to rest for a while. Sister, don't trouble the Admiral. Really." The gentle girl spoke in a very docile tone, as if she were angry.

"No, the Admiral is really alright! She promised she would come!"

"Huh? That can't be right, it's probably just a lie." Another, more pleasant voice rang out, "After all, you're so easy to fool, aren't you?"

"I...I...I won't be fooled!"

The clattering sound drew closer to Little White.

Fubuki ran out of the warehouse, grabbed Shiro, and went inside.

"look!"

Xiao Bai was thus pulled into the destroyer's strategic base.

Xiaobai also saw the warehouse for the first time. Inside the neatly decorated warehouse stood three other blue-haired girls dressed in sailor uniforms.

Like Fubuki, she is a beautiful and cute destroyer.

"Uh... Haha, hello." Seeing the atmosphere become slightly awkward, Xiaobai stiffly took the initiative to greet him, "I'm the Admiral."

“...Oh, oh oh oh.”

Xiao Bai noticed that the eyes of the three destroyers seemed to be shining.

Last night, the ship girls shared the banquet time with Shiro on average. However, Fubuki and Shiro chatted for longer than that time. So, Shiro, Hatsuyuki, and Miyuki gave up their time for Fubuki, allowing Fubuki to enjoy four times the amount of time with Shiro. Fubuki regretted this afterwards and felt sorry for her sisters, which is why she went to find Shiro.

Having gained more time to spend with the Admiral, the three sisters' eyes naturally shone with joy.

The destroyers are cute and petite, and they don't have the imposing aura of heavy cruisers, battleships, or aircraft carriers that make them less intimidating for beginners.

One of the girls, who looked more like a shrine maiden than a sailor, stepped forward, covering her mouth as she stared at Shiro and Fubuki with a surprised expression.

"Oh... it really is the Admiral." The girl bowed politely to Shirayuki. "Hello, Admiral. I am Shirayuki, the second ship of the Fubuki-class destroyer. Please forgive my rudeness."

Bai Xue is as obedient as a little wife.

Snow White stood tall and straight, her soft, light blue hair flowing like a stream over her body, exuding a gentle and serene aura.

"Oh, oh, oh." Xiaobai tried her best to make her smile as friendly as possible.

"My sister has caused trouble for the Admiral, I'm so sorry," Bai Xue apologized to Xiao Bai.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm really free," Xiaobai replied somewhat embarrassedly. "Well, maybe it's because I just took office, so Lexington didn't give me any too difficult tasks..."

"See, I told you so." At this moment, Fubuki put her hands on her hips. "Every word I, Fubuki-sama, say is true."

"Okay, okay, you're the best, big sister." Bai Xue covered her mouth with her sleeve, revealing a doting expression.

Fubuki showed a very satisfied expression.

—It's really hard to tell who the older sister is.

After comforting Chui Xue, Bai Xue introduced Xiao Bai to her two other younger sisters.

“Admiral, these are Hatsuyuki and Miyuki. The three of us are all my sister’s younger sisters,” Shirayuki said.

Xiao Bai looked in the direction Bai Xue pointed.

"Hello..."

"Hello, Admiral!" A ship girl named Hatsuyuki, with her ponytail standing up, excitedly came to Shiro's side and took his arm. "I'm Hatsuyuki, and I'm super awesome!"

The first snow looks very similar to a blizzard.

Among the four Fubuki sisters, Hatsuyuki is probably the ship girl whose appearance is most similar to that of her eldest sister, Fubuki. It seems that because of this, Hatsuyuki deliberately uses a hairstyle and clothing that are different from Fubuki's to modify herself.

"Wow, that's amazing."

"kindness!"

Chu Xue's face was beaming with a happy smile.

Unlike Hatsuyuki, whose personality is similar to Fubuki, the other destroyer ship girl, Miyuki, is closer to Shirayuki in personality. She simply looked at Shirayuki with a sweet, slightly shy smile, and after a while, she greeted her.

"Greetings, Admiral."

Looking at the four lively and clever elementary school students around him, Xiaobai felt as if he had been healed.

Ah, youth.

"Are there only four of you here?" Xiaobai asked.

Xiao Bai suddenly had a urge to get to know some destroyers again.

"Actually, many destroyers come here whenever they have time," Bai Xue explained. "Although it was originally an unused warehouse that my sister asked the admiral for, it gets very lively in the afternoons. Friends from the sixth-destroyer fleet, as well as Sister Lingbo and the others, all come here."

"Laffey, Fantasy, Little Javelin, and Little Dog also come by occasionally," Fubuki added, "and the submarine friends too."

"Sister, they went to another garrison for a training exercise the day before yesterday and haven't come back yet," said Chuxue from the side.

"Huh... they actually went to a drill?!" Fubuki looked surprised. "They didn't even tell me!"

"Sister, you've been going crazy every day since you heard there's a new admiral. You even went to the city center to buy Xuan paper and stuff. How could you possibly remember any of these things?"

"Ugh..." Fubuki looked regretful, "I wanted to go too."

Xiao Bai listened from the side, and his face turned pale.

After studying all night, Xiaobai also knew the strength of these destroyers.

Destroyers are generally not very rare, but a highly trained destroyer can achieve combat effectiveness that some powerful capital ships cannot. Among all ships, destroyers have the highest maneuverability, and a highly trained destroyer can emerge unscathed from a hail of bullets.

However, this doesn't mean destroyers lack offensive capabilities. In fact, destroyers possess extremely high attack power, with their torpedoes boasting unparalleled damage among all ship types. The problem is that their torpedoes have a significantly shorter range than those of artillery and aircraft. Therefore, during the time it takes for a destroyer to approach within range of its torpedoes, it will face multiple enemy attacks. Low-level destroyers are often defeated midway through these engagements.

...However, the destroyers in this naval base, represented by Fubuki, are invincible destroyers with extremely high training levels.

Needless to say, the evasive and evasive Kusanagi, the Javelin with its strong self-defense capabilities, and even a destroyer like Fubuki who needs a team to unleash its full power, would not be able to touch a hair on Fubuki's head if she were to take on an ordinary naval fleet alone.

...That's how it is, they even sent so many highly trained destroyers to the exercise.

...This is a spy team, isn't it? What happened to the exercise being supposed to create a good environment for the ship girls to compete?!

"Ah, I have a question... Who ordered your destroyers to participate in the exercise?" Xiaobai asked.

"Admiral!" the four exclaimed in unison.

Xiaobai covered her face.

I'm so sorry, admirals around the world, my brother has caused you trouble.

I suddenly feel like saying something.

The story has gone on for more than twenty chapters, and now it's pretty clear that this is a Kantai Collection fanfic.

—Kantai Collection R is a fairly ordinary ship girl mobile game.

Honestly, as a Kantai Collection player, I can't even begin to describe how fun this game is. When I first started, I might have worked hard to collect certain ships, stayed up all night farming for them to participate in events (a simple, straightforward, and mindless way to level up, though the process was quite tedious), and then looked at the ship girls' illustrations with a silly grin over and over again. I would even send out red envelopes in the group chat after marrying a ship with full affinity. However, time flies, and before I knew it, I had gone from a newbie who didn't even know how to form a fleet and who would carefully watch my ship girls when farming for them to a lazy bum who rarely went on expeditions for two months and had to rely on friends to help me clear campaign exercises.
