Elder brother's garrison

Page 5

In an instant, Tirpitz seemed to have been stimulated and quickly sat up.

Tirpitz took Little White's hand and pulled him to sit down in front of him.

"Which main character team has the highest level in Ship Girl Battle?"

"Huh? Hmm..." Kantai Collection is a fairly popular manga. Although Xiaobai doesn't read it, he knows a little about it. "Bismarck?"

Who is the male protagonist's wife in Granblue Fantasy?

"Uh, Bismarck?"

Who was the ship girl who turned evil in "The Secret of the Horizon"?

Um, I haven't seen this one... but the answer should be the same as the first two...

"Bismarck?"

"Snap." Tirpitz placed both hands on Little White's shoulders. His beautiful eyes were filled with a strange emotion.

"Best friend."

The pink-haired girl ship girl seems to have developed a friendship with Shiro.

Bismarck watched from the side.

"That's just how Tirpitz is. You'll get used to it."

Eh... is this ship girl really my brother's wife...?

Xiao Bai looked at the potato chip crumbs on Tirpitz's fair face and thought to himself.

Xiaobai lowered her gaze.

It's a glimpse of springtime for the young ship girls.

If you only look at her face and figure... Tirpitz might actually be a girl that men like...

...Is my brother a jerk...?

"Oh, were you just thinking how awful this woman is?"

"...No." Xiaobai lied.

“It doesn’t really matter.” Tirpitz withdrew his hand, reached behind his back, pulled out a bag of potato chips, and expertly tore open the packaging. “I actually think I’m pretty bad too.”

Ah, so Tirpitz was aware of his own actions after all...

"Yeah, I can't shake the habit of drawing my sister's erotic comics." Bei Zhai said, taking a potato chip from the packaging bag and crunching it into her mouth.

Eh—is this the bad thing? In some ways it is indeed bad, but it's not just this aspect that's bad, is it?!

Xiaobai glanced at Bismarck out of the corner of his eye.

Bismarck was not angry when he heard this. He calmly drank the canned herbal tea on the table as if he had not heard anything.

"Isn't Tirpitz going out?" Little White asked, looking at Tirpitz.

Xiaobai wasn't very clear about Tirpitz's specific situation, but the faint aura of a lazy bum surrounding this ship girl made her unable to help but ask this question.

“I still go out occasionally,” Tirpitz said, munching on a potato chip. “...Sometimes when I don’t have enough cruiser cores, they’ll send me out.”

"Oh..." Although Xiaobai didn't understand what the core was, she was still relieved to hear from Tirpitz that this lazy ship girl was still working.

"By the way, it seems like I haven't been able to play a cruiser core in two years."

"That means they never even left the house!!!" Xiaobai exclaimed upon learning the truth.

"Don't worry, don't worry." Tirpitz comforted the somewhat frantic Shiro, "There's nothing I can do about it, my ship name is Tirpitz."

"Is there a reason for this?" Xiaobai immediately quieted down.

Is it possible that ship names are some kind of curse, requiring ship girls to act according to certain rules? If so, then Xiaobai has truly misunderstood Tirpitz.

Thinking of this, Xiaobai couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

"Oh, that's it. Ship girls naturally carry some memories of their historical ships. The historical Tirpitz, from its construction to its bombing and decommissioning, almost never actually went to war once," Tirpitz said. "Simply put, the historical Tirpitz, like me, was always a homebody."

"Oh, is that so?" Xiaobai said, indicating that she had learned a lot.

"So, I'm staying home like this to pay homage to my predecessor."

"Ugh, what kind of curse is this? It sounds terrifying." Tirpitz gave him a look that said, "What are you talking about? I can't understand."

"Ah? So that's why Tirpitz never leaves the house..."

“He’s just lazy,” Bismarck interjected at the opportune moment.

Xiao Bai silently covered her face.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Tirpitz asked.

"...Give me back my shame..." Xiaobai's weak voice escaped from between her fingers.

"..." Bei Zhai paused for a moment, "Um...would you like some potato chips?"

"……Thanks."

Bismarck, watching Little White and Tirpitz, finished the remaining iced tea in her can.

With a snap, Bismarck flattened the can into a round disc.

She put the round cake into the trash can next to her.

"I am leaving."

“Yes, have a safe trip,” Tirpitz said.

"Are you leaving so soon?" Xiaobai asked.

“My sister never stays home except on vacation,” Tirpitz said. “There’s a task that only she can do.”

“I saw you when I came back just now,” Bismarck said.

Is it a very difficult task?

“It’s simple,” Bismarck said, walking towards the door. “Little White also needs to go to the Admiral’s office later, so please don’t play with North Carolina for too long.”

"Okay, sure," Xiaobai replied.

Bismarck walked out the door.

Bismarck seems to be working very hard.

"...Don't look at your sister with that worried look," Tirpitz said to Little White. "Your sister is just going to steal aluminum, she won't get hurt."

What is "stealing aluminum"?

"It's just about going to the deep sea to steal things, isn't it? Let's not talk about that for now." Tirpitz then asked, "Why didn't you bring any luggage?"

"I left in a bit of a hurry and didn't pack anything, but my family did bring me a few clothes."

"Oh well." Tirpitz thought for a moment, "It's alright, the empty room upstairs is quite well-equipped, my sister has already bought the furniture."

"Huh? Did Bismarck know I was coming?"

"I do not know."

"That room is..."

"I gave it to your brother to stay in during his honeymoon," Bei Zhai said, taking another bite of potato chip.

"……"silence.

"Want to read a comic book?"

"OK, thank you."

Thanks to Tirpitz's enthusiastic recommendation, Xiaobai read two comics before realizing that an hour had already passed.

So she hurriedly came out of Bismarck's house.

"Come to think of it, living here really feels a bit unreal," Xiaobai muttered to herself as she walked out of her house.

"I heard you~" The door opened with a swishing sound, and Tirpitz's eerie voice drifted out.

"Ahhhhh, no, no, I don't have any complaints about living here. Please don't take it to heart, really..."

"Alright." With the door open, Tirpitz handed Little White a watercolor pen. "Here. Here you go."

"Oh, oh, oh..." Xiaobai reached out and took the watercolor pen, asking with some confusion, "What is this pen...?"

"The paperwork for living here hasn't been completed yet, oh no no." Bei Zhai pouted, gesturing to the nameplate by the door. "You know what to do now, right?"

“You can write it after my name,” Tirpitz added. “There’s not much room left.”

Xiao Bai held the pen, staring blankly at Tirpitz.

"Write it."

"Oh oh oh."

Xiao Bai held the pen, stared at the nameplate for a while, and then filled in two words after Tirpitz's name.

“Bismarck

Tirpitz Lu Lin”

The two different languages ​​and two different fonts make this brand name seem out of place.

However, it made Xiaobai feel relieved.

“That’s true now,” Tirpitz said.

"kindness."

"Oh right, there's something I forgot to mention," Tirpitz said to Little White as if he had just remembered something.

"What is it?" Little White asked Tirpitz.

...I hope it's not something like asking me to run errands for you.

"Welcome back, Admiral."

Under the warm sunlight, the lovely girl smiled innocently and said this.

In an instant, she was breathtakingly beautiful.

Chapter 6 Friendship Breakdown

Saratoga knew that the admiral had a younger sister.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that very few people are unaware of this garrison.

Because that rogue admiral could only straighten his expression and become serious for a moment when he mentioned his sister.

Long ago, before the admiral passed away, she enjoyed listening to him talk about his younger sister.

Cute, smart, kind, gentle...

These outdated terms were repeatedly used to describe Lu Lin.

The admiral's expression at that moment was one that Saratoga couldn't understand.

The admiral, who is usually shrewd, all-knowing, and prone to uttering vulgarities, only shows this expression when talking about his sister.

He's as gentle as an older brother.

—Yes, he is indeed an older brother.

Only at times like this did Saratoga realize that the man she had married was quite handsome.

Saratoga was somewhat jealous.

Of course, it was just a slight feeling of envy, the kind of jealousy that comes with it. More than anything, it was curiosity.

A girl who can receive such high praise from her admiral must be exceptional.

She's probably half as good as her older sister.

Hmph, my sister is still the best.

Unconsciously, Saratoga began to struggle with her inner conflict.

Saratoga really wanted to meet this girl named Lu Lin, nicknamed Xiaobai.

...But not in this way.

Not in this way.
