"So please don't try to renege on your promise. This is between me and your admiral. Please bring your admiral out here quickly, if he's still a man." The admiral said to Nelson with a resolute expression.
The admiral felt that this might be the most manly moment of his life. If it were now, he might even use his anger to teach that lecherous rogue a lesson.
"Our admiral isn't a man," Nelson said to the admiral with a strange look. "So please leave."
"???" Nelson's words were like a bucket of cold water poured directly onto the admiral's head, extinguishing his anger instantly.
Not a man?
Have you ever seen such a shameless person?
The admiral was so angry at Nelson's words that he almost exploded.
Are you an eight-year-old child, saying such things?
If you have the guts to cheat on someone, then have the guts to admit it. Let's have a passionate, bloody fight, and if you admit your mistake, apologize to Baltimore, make amends, and give her happiness, and I won't pursue the matter further. But what's with saying you're not a man this time?
I have seen shameless, never seen such shameless.
"Does your admiral have any shame?" the male admiral muttered, looking at Nelson.
"How can you talk like that?" Nelson frowned, his expression clearly showing displeasure.
“You’re a ship girl too, you have sisters too, right? If your sisters were toyed with by another admiral, wouldn’t you be furious?” the male admiral said to Nelson with grief and indignation.
“Impossible,” Nelson said firmly.
"If you don't want your sisters to be treated like this, then why do you become an accomplice of your admiral!"
“An accomplice?” Nelson took a deep breath, then looked at the male admiral in front of him, who seemed determined to continue, and slowly said, “We admirals aren’t men; for us to have children or anything like that is simply impossible…”
If Nelson hadn't known that this admiral was the admiral of Baltimore, he would have loved to slap him right now.
“Nelson.” Just as Nelson was about to explain further, a pair of small hands suddenly grabbed Nelson’s sleeve.
Nelson shut his mouth and looked around.
Little White was tugging at Nelson's sleeve, shaking his head at Nelson: "I'll do it."
Xiaobai stepped out from behind Nelson, stood in front of the male admiral, and said softly, "Hello."
"...Hello." The previously aggressive male admiral's chest, which had been churning like a furious lion, finally calmed down when he saw Xiaobai.
The male admiral hesitated for a moment, then nodded to Xiaobai.
Xiaobai possessed a strangely calming aura, and given that she was the one who had just handed the male admiral water, he had a good impression of her. If Xiaobai had initiated the conversation, he wouldn't have been so heartless as to interrupt her.
"Excuse me, do you wish to see the Admiral?" Xiaobai asked the male Admiral.
“Yes, there has to be a resolution between him and me,” the male admiral nodded to Xiaobai.
The male admiral took the opportunity to secretly glance at Rodney and Nelson beside him.
Nelson crossed his arms, and although he looked very unhappy with himself, he didn't say anything. He just stood obediently behind Little White with Rodney.
It seems that the white-haired ship girl in front of me has a pretty high status in this naval base. She's probably a ship girl that the admiral here really likes, or maybe she's his secretary ship or his marriage ship?
No wonder, this ship girl gives off a very comfortable feeling, and she is indeed the gentle and virtuous type. It's not an exaggeration for such a ship girl to be favored by the admiral.
The male admiral narrowed his eyes slightly.
But I feel like I've seen her somewhere before, she looks kind of familiar... Never mind, now's not the time to think about that.
The male admiral quickly shook his head, then stared at Xiaobai, a hint of sympathy in his eyes.
Such a wonderful ship girl, it's a shame she ended up with such a scumbag admiral.
“To settle things…” Xiaobai’s eyebrows drooped, and she looked at the male admiral with some difficulty, “That…”
"What's wrong? Are you even going to protect your admiral?"
"...No." Xiaobai shook his head, then sighed, "I am the Admiral..."
"..." The male admiral looked at Xiaobai and frowned. "Little sister, stop fooling around."
Xiao Bai sighed. As expected, the other side didn't believe him.
Fortunately, Xiaobai was prepared for this. She slowly took out her admiral's certificate from her clothes and handed it to the male admiral.
"This is my admiral's certificate," Xiaobai said, holding the certificate up as high as he could and presenting it to the male admiral.
On the square white card, Xiaobai's photo and basic information are displayed.
Although Xiaobai still has black hair and black eyes in the photo, if you compare it with the admiral's badge, you can easily identify that the person in the photo is Xiaobai.
The male admiral subconsciously took the admiral's certificate from Xiaobai, stared blankly at it, and looked up to compare it with Xiaobai's.
—It is one person.
Upon receiving this news, the admiral stood frozen in place as if struck by lightning, his mind reeling.
Admiral's certificate is impossible to fake. First, because the certificate itself has many layers of special processing, making it very difficult to counterfeit, and the serial number on it is also aligned with the network. Second, because being an admiral is currently the most sensitive profession, anyone who impersonates an admiral, even if they are a ship girl, will be severely punished. Therefore, there are very few people in the world who would dare to impersonate an admiral.
Only then did the male admirals finally understand what Nelson meant when he said, "We admirals are not men."
That wasn't some excuse, nor a sophistry, nor was it a phrase with any profound meaning. Nelson was genuinely stating the basic premise that his admiral wasn't male.
Not a man? Is it a woman?
The male admiral lowered his head and looked at the little girl standing in front of him.
The male admiral stared blankly at Xiaobai, speechless for a moment. He knelt down with a thud, his eyes vacant, like a puppet.
—So, Baltimore likes a girl?
Did I lose to a girl?
Baltimore has been spending the last few days cuddling with girls.
Oh—oh—most of the male admirals felt they understood.
No wonder Baltimore didn't seem angry at all about being completely taken advantage of; instead, she looked like she was preserving a precious and wonderful memory.
That makes sense. No wonder Baltimore said they'd opened the door to a new world.
If it's between girls, that's fine.
Although the male admiral is still a loser, he subtly feels that he's not as humiliated as before. Baltimore's plan to switch sides and spend his days happily with other admirals using ship girls isn't entirely unacceptable.
— Rather, I would say I feel a subtle excitement.
"So, do you still want to duel?" Nelson asked the male admiral, who was kneeling on the ground, seemingly laughing or crying.
The male admiral shook his head sadly.
A duel is out of the question. After all, I'm a big, strong man. It would be shameless of me to duel with a delicate little girl.
"That's good." Nelson nodded. "Although if a real fight broke out, you probably wouldn't be able to beat our admiral anyway."
What a farce.
Nelson sighed inwardly and prepared to pull Rodney, who was beside him, to see the guest out.
However, before Nelson could do anything, the man in front of him suddenly stood up.
"The duel is off! But I want to apply for a 1v1 ship girl exercise!" the male admiral said to Shiro, but his tone was not as sharp as before.
"An exercise??" Xiaobai was taken aback, looking at the admiral in front of him with a puzzled expression. "Um, wasn't our misunderstanding cleared up?"
"The stakes are my Baltimore!"
"Eh?!" Xiaobai exclaimed in surprise again. "Um, ship girls aren't a bet."
If the admiral in front of him were to say that the winner would get Baltimore, then Xiaobai's opinion of the person in front of him would plummet.
“If I win, you’ll take Baltimore…” the male admiral said, pointing at Little White.
"Hand it over?" Rodney asked.
"I'll marry her!" the male admiral said, tears streaming down his face.
Chapter 537 Married!
"I'll marry him!" the male admiral said, pointing at Xiaobai with a trembling voice.
shock!
Xiaobai, Rodney, and Nelson stared blankly at the male admiral for several seconds.
A few seconds later.
Xiao Bai was the first to react, and she quickly took several steps back, staring at the man in front of her in disbelief.
"Married???" Rodney exclaimed in surprise, covering his mouth as he looked at the male admiral.
Indeed, the way this happened is too bizarre. One second this person had a righteous expression on their face, as if they were there to catch their partner cheating and punish the scumbag, and the next second they were urging them to get married??
What's going on?
Moreover, the person urging him is Baltimore, where he usually has no contact with Xiaobai.
This is absolutely breathtaking.
"You married him?" Xiaobai looked at the man in front of her in surprise.
"I'll marry her!" the man repeated.
"Why?" Xiaobai asked doubtfully.
"How dare you ask that?!" The man looked at Xiaobai with grief and indignation.
"???" Xiaobai looked puzzled.
Even with Xiaobai's intelligence, understanding the current situation is starting to become a bit difficult.
"Why should I agree to this?" In this critical moment, Nelson was the only one she could rely on. He took a step forward and shielded Xiaobai behind him. She stared intently at the man in front of her and asked, "What good will this do you?"
"There's no benefit to it," the man said with a desolate expression.
“…Then why…” Nelson was about to ask more, but he couldn’t quite get the question out.
Because she saw the man's eyes.
That was an even more resolute, determined, and unwavering gaze than before, as if they were desperately protecting something, shining with a noble light that deeply moved Nelson.
—His gaze was far more unsettling than his eyes, which were now consumed by the fury of hatred.
Nelson felt that if he didn't agree now, there would probably be a lot of nagging and pestering that would make many people uncomfortable.
“Phew—” Nelson sighed and turned to look at Little White. “Admiral, agree to his request.”
"Huh?" Xiaobai looked at Nelson with an expression as if he had been betrayed.
“Admiral, if we don’t agree to his demands today, he’ll come back tomorrow anyway. Why not just give him a proper end?” Nelson lowered herself down and squatted in front of Xiaobai. She leaned close to Xiaobai’s ear and whispered, “As long as we win, there won’t be any problems, right? It won’t affect the reputation of the naval base, nor will it cause any trouble for the admiral.”
"Oh...oh, that's true." Xiaobai thought about the bet between the man and herself, and it seemed to be true.
If I lose, I have to marry Baltimore; if I win, it seems there won't be any problems.
—Wait a minute, it seems like there's no benefit to winning...
Xiao Bai looked up at the male admiral with some discomfort.
Xiao Bai naturally sensed the look Nelson gave him; it was a look that indicated he wouldn't give up easily anytime soon.
So what's the situation in Baltimore?
--never mind.
Xiao Bai also gave up. She felt that she was not Luo Lian after all and could not deduce so many things. At this time, Xiao Bai could only choose to listen to Nelson.
"Alright then," Xiaobai nodded.
Upon hearing Xiaobai's agreement, the male admiral finally smiled with relief.
"Is it a one-on-one battle between ship girls?" Nelson stood up next to Shiro and looked at the male admiral, asking seriously.
“Yes,” the male admiral nodded.
One-on-one battles between ship girls are a relatively rare type of exercise. In this exercise, each naval base sends one ship girl to train alone. There are no formations or tactics involved; the two ship girls just fight it out.
“Then I’ll do it…” Nelson stepped forward and said to the male admiral.
“No! I want to choose my own opponent!” The male admiral refused Nelson.
"Choose your own opponent?"
"Yes!" the male admiral said, bowing his head.
