Elder brother's garrison

Page 1012

Feeling the gazes of the crowd, Pompeii looked ashamed and apologetic.

"But I promised myself I wouldn't act impulsively, but I still... I'm so sorry." Pompeii seemed genuinely regretful, her face showing the remorse of someone who had acted rashly, clutching her clothes tightly. "There were better solutions... I... I..."

"..." Everyone silently watched Pompeii's frustrated expression.

"Pompeii..."

"No, there's no need to comfort me. I know I've caused trouble again, and I acted impulsively... I apologize, I admit my mistake... Waaah..."

“Pompeii, that’s not the problem.” Zara pointed awkwardly to Pompeii’s clothes. “Your clothes… are ripped.”

"Hey! No way!" Pompeii exclaimed in surprise, and quickly looked down at himself.

Pompeii's outfit was originally a mercenary suit taken from a guard ship girl. Because of Pompeii's excellent body curves, the outfit always looked a bit tight on her.

Perhaps because he had stretched and moved around a bit in his rage in order to beat up the mercenary leader, Pompeii's clothes now had several buttons popping open at the chest, and even a rather embarrassing slit had appeared at the buttocks.

"Huh? Ee! Yes, it's true, but when, how... ugh!!" After Zara pointed out the ripped state of his clothes, Pompeii instantly clutched his chest with one hand and covered his buttocks, his face flushed crimson with embarrassment. "I... ugh... ugh..."

Of course.

Although the mercenary group's clothes were damaged, they were still wearing their own clothes underneath, so there was no risk of them being exposed.

“In short, it’s really not convenient for anyone to stay here right now. Since the Admiral has already asked what he wants to know, let’s hurry back to the beach and change our clothes, Pompeii.” Missouri spoke up when Pompeii was feeling ashamed and flustered. She walked behind Pompeii and gently nudged his shoulder.

"Oh...oh oh! Let's go back quickly!" Pompeii nodded rapidly, looking embarrassed.

—Pompeii was still a girl, and even if her clothes ripped, it wouldn't be revealing. But for a young woman, a ripped waistband is always a rather embarrassing thing.

In panic.

Xiao Bai and his group hurriedly left the camp and ran towards the sea.

For a while.

At the edge of the bustling camp, only two guard ship girls, hanging like silkworm cocoons, remained on the thick, tall tree branches, swaying and rocking in mid-air.

-

The village remained as normal as ever.

Xiao Bai and the others crossed the village and returned to the vast and quiet coastline.

After the mercenary group's visit this morning, the villagers seemed to have finally become more wary of the sea. There were far fewer fishing boats on the sea at this time, and as far as the eye could see, only a few small boats were still drifting on the vast ocean.

The sea breeze is refreshing.

After Xiaobai safely returned to the beach, her mood plummeted.

After watching Pompeii change back into normal clothes, Xiaobai stared blankly at the sea for a while. Then, after apologizing to the ship girls for wanting to watch the sea alone for a while, she sat down on the beach, curled up in a ball, and stared at the sea without saying a word.

The ship girls stood not far behind Xiaobai, looking at her seemingly lonely figure with puzzled expressions.

Xiaobai's somewhat unusual behavior puzzled the ship girls.

Has something happened to my admiral?

on the beach.

A small red umbrella blooms on the beach.

Under the little red umbrella, the ship girls huddled together, furtively staring at the slightly dejected figure of Shiro sitting on the beach in the distance, and discussing it intensely.

"The admiral... she seems quite frustrated."

"What's wrong? Did the Admiral get nostalgic because of the scenery?"

"Does the Admiral want to comprehend philosophy? The earth is so vast, and we are all just lonely travelers?"

"Uh... Xiaobai doesn't seem like that type at all..."

"Hmm, that makes sense. The admiral's behavior is really not quite right..."

“Missouri, you’ve spent the most time with the Admiral here, so you know her best. Tell me, what’s wrong with her?”

"Hey, I was the one who met Xiaobai first!"

"Their wedding ship was launched earlier than yours."

"Ugh! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Waaaaah..." Deep Sea Yamato cried out, "I'm so angry!"

The ship girls' gazes, filled with obvious anticipation, gradually shifted to Missouri.

Under the watchful eyes of the ship girls, Missouri waved her hand and gave them a troubled smile.

“The admiral is a girl who cares a lot about other people’s feelings. Even if she is sometimes disappointed, she has never shown us this dejected look during the time Missouri spent with her… Missouri really has no idea… But since the admiral only became like this after returning from the camp, Missouri thinks it must be related to what happened there, right?”

Missouri finished speaking.

The ship girls turned their attention to Pompeii.

"Speaking of which, we still don't know what happened between the Admiral and you, Pompeii, in the camp."

"Senior Pompeii, could you tell us a little about it?"

Under the little red umbrella.

The ship girls stared expectantly at Pompeii.

"Uh... well." Pompeii shrugged, exchanging glances with the ship girls around him who were asking him questions. "Well, I do need to explain... In short, the general situation is like this..."

Pompeii briefly recounted the scene where he and Xiaobai entered the commander's tent and talked with the commander.

This includes a Q&A session between Xiaobai and the leader, as well as the leader's self-disclosure.

Furthermore, when talking about how she couldn't help but beat up the rude captain after he self-destructed, Pompeii lowered her head and deeply reflected on and apologized to the ship girls for her mistake, promising that she would never act impulsively again.

"That's roughly how it is..." Pompeii finished speaking, exchanged glances with the ship girls, and then said, "Um... do you understand?"

"understood."

"I get it! That bastard dared to yell at our admiral!" Wisconsin rolled up his sleeves, gritted his teeth, and looked murderous. "Pompeii, well done!"

"Sigh, it seems Sister Pompeii went too far..."

“I heard from the women at the naval base that the last person who dared to yell at our admiral was beaten into a pulp by Bismarck… I heard they even ransacked his house.”

"Damn it, I can't take it anymore, you guys wait, I'm going to take him down right now..."

"Yamato-senpai, calm down!!"

"Yamato-senpai, please sit down!!"

The three Iowa sisters quickly reached out and firmly held down Yamato Fukami, who was rolling up his sleeves and looking furious, as if he wanted to jump out and do something.

The novice ship girls at the naval base were immediately thrown into chaos.

"Huh?" Pompeii and Zara stared blankly at the indignant ship girls in front of them.

——What’s going on.

—These ship girls give off a kind of gangster vibe.

It took the ship girls a long time to finally quiet down.

"However, in short, although that... that thing again?"

"Mercenary group leader."

"Yes, mercenary leader, although we must avenge that bastard yelled at our admiral, how should I put it... our admiral is magnanimous and unlikely to be upset or disappointed just because he was yelled at by such a nobody."

"Right now, we should really think about how to make the admiral happy..."

The ship girls thought it over and over, looking at each other.

"If that's the case, the reason why the admiral is so disappointed and frustrated is probably because she misunderstood that mercenary group... The admiral is actually very sensitive, and she might be quite upset."

"This should be it."

"Then I'll add one."

The ship girls looked at each other and came to a conclusion.

"...But in the end, even if I knew why the Admiral was depressed, it didn't seem to help me cheer her up at all..."

The ship girls under the little red umbrella sighed and nodded.

"How can we cheer the admiral up..."

"The admiral is usually very cheerful and gentle..."

"It suddenly turned out like this, and I feel a bit lost..."

The ship girls sighed and lamented.

Just now.

“…I do have an idea.” Iowa held up a finger, as if she had thought of something, and turned to the ship girls around her.

-

For a period of time, the sun shifted slightly toward the other side of the sea.

The sunlight became even brighter as the sun moved.

The sea is vast.

Waves rise and fall.

The petrel flew from one side of the sea to the other.

Xiaobai sat alone on the wide beach, hugging her knees, her whole body curled up into a small ball, staring blankly at the blue scenery before her, lost in thought.

"Admiral."

A voice called out from behind Xiaobai.

The voice was highly recognizable; Xiaobai didn't even need to think to know who the voice belonged to.

“It’s Iowa…” Xiaobai stared at the sea and spoke softly.

"Yes, it's me." Iowa arrived beside Xiaobai amidst the sound of footsteps on the sand. "The Admiral has been watching the sea for a long time."

"Uh...it seems so..." Xiaobai gave a wry smile.

"Hmm—" After a long, drawn-out "hmm," footsteps stopped beside Xiaobai. "Is the sea all the Admiral can see?"

Iowa's voice has a distinct upward inflection in the suffixes.

It's like something with feathers that makes your heart itch.

However, what makes people think even more is that Iowa's words seemed to have a hidden meaning.

Xiao Bai couldn't help but withdraw his gaze from the sea.

"Huh? What does Iowa mean... Waaah?!" Xiaobai turned her head, about to ask Iowa a couple of questions, but she froze the moment she saw Iowa.

"Oh dear, the Admiral is finally willing to look at Iowa."

Within Xiaobai's sight.

Wearing a black bikini, Iahua put her hands behind her back, generously displaying her fair skin and enviable figure to Xiaobai.

Iowa laughed happily.

"Admiral."

"...Ah, ah??"

"Is Iowa pretty?"

Besides Kantai Collection, many of the games I usually play updated today, and the six-piece Arland Alchemy set cartridge I ordered online also arrived. So I ended up playing until this late without even realizing it.

After saying all that, what I really want to say is...

I'll post a single update of 4,000 words today.

Games are indeed a terrifying thing...

What's even more terrifying is my own complete lack of self-control...

Chapter 1319 What Blinded My Eyes?

Missouri was once the ideal woman in Xiaobai's mind.

Perhaps it's because Missouri possesses one of the world's top ship girl lineages.

Missouri, the ship girl, is tall and slender yet voluptuous, with a beautiful face and elegant demeanor. She can act cute and charming at home, and also stand out in public with her sophisticated and charming personality.
