Elder brother's garrison

“Yes.” Missouri’s face lit up with happiness.

"No, even if you make that kind of face that could be the end of a chapter, it won't help. You're reading your admiral's erotic novel, don't you feel any heartache?"

“Missouri doesn’t connect fantasy with reality.” Missouri shook her head. “Missouri likes the Admiral, so she’s pursuing his doujinshi. Anything other than the Admiral’s won’t do.”

"...So you're quite proud of that?"

“Yes.” Missouri nodded.

Warspite felt that she probably couldn't get along with these ship girls who had something wrong with their heads.

"I'll go get a glass of water first..." Warspite rubbed his slightly sore forehead and got out of bed.

Missouri, standing nearby, swiftly handed a glass of water filled with water to Warspite.

"Oh, thank you..." Warspite glanced at Missouri, took her water glass with both hands, and said, "By the way, aren't you leaving yet?"

"Doesn't Warspite welcome us?" Missouri asked.

"No, I don't care... but aren't you ship girls from the naval base next door?" Warspite asked. "It's already seven or eight in the morning, shouldn't you be setting off?"

Warspite's innocent voice echoed throughout the room, reaching the ears of all the ship girls present.

In an instant, the room, which had been as noisy as a market, fell silent.

All the ship girls immediately fixed their eyes on Warspite, their gazes sharp.

"Eh?!" Warspite flinched. As a level 1 newbie ship girl, this was the first time she had been exposed to the gaze of so many max-level ship girls, and she couldn't help but feel a little scared. "Uh... um... are you... taking a break today?"

Several seconds later, one of the ship girls finally let out an "Ah!" and put down what she was holding.

"late……"

I'm late!

"Go back quickly!"

"Yeah yeah yeah!"

In an instant, like a whirlwind sweeping across the land, the ship girls dropped what they were holding and frantically squeezed out of the room, their footsteps echoing like thunder as they slowly faded into the distance.

For a moment, the huge room was left with only Luo Lian, Yan Zhan, and a mountain of draft paper.

War-weary held a glass of water, lost in thought.

“War-weary.” Luo Lian looked at War-weary.

"I'm here, Admiral." Warspite looked at Luo Lian cautiously. "Did I say something wrong?"

"No, you've been a huge help." Luo Lian pondered, then covered her face with her hands. "I actually forgot the time. What a blunder! If you had gotten up a little later, we probably would have been discovered by Xiaobai and the others who were out looking for the ship girls."

"..." Warspite turned his head away, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

At the newbie naval base, as soon as the large waves of ship girls who had run out of Luo Lian's naval base returned to the courtyard of the newbie naval base, they saw Xiaobai standing with Lexington and Bismarck.

Xiaobai seemed to have just been about to go out to find the ship girls when she saw them return. She smiled at them and said, "You're all up so early? Where did you all go to play?"

However, when the ship girls present saw Shiro's innocent smiling face, countless scenarios kept flashing through their minds. Few of them even dared to look Shiro in the eye; they all blushed and lowered their heads, unable to meet her gaze.

"Huh?" Xiaobai was taken aback.

The changes in these ship girls are a bit strange.

Xiaobai curiously spotted Enterprise among the ship girls.

"Where did you go, Enterprise?" Xiaobai asked.

The small shoulders of the enterprise shrugged, and her large, misty blue eyes blinked in the rosy glow of the sunset. She shyly raised her eyes to look at Xiaobai, then couldn't help but lower her head, then raised them again, then lowered them again, but still didn't say anything.

"???"

"Rome?" Xiaobai looked towards Rome.

Rome, blushing, scratched his head and chuckled as he looked in the other direction.

"??????" Xiaobai shifted her gaze to Changchun.

"Eek eek eek eek————" Changchun covered his face and mumbled softly. In the muffled sound, you could still hear Changchun apologizing to Xiaobai.

It's something like, "Changchun is sorry to the Admiral," or "Changchun is a bad kid, Changchun is ashamed to face the Admiral."

Xiaobai was completely baffled.

Who bullied them?

"Um, you guys..." Xiao Bai was still somewhat shocked when she thought of this.

"Little White, stop talking for now." Lexington interrupted Little White with a smile, then looked thoughtfully at the ship girls in front of her. "They probably spent the whole night playing with Warspite at the naval base next door. After all, they're new friends."

"Oh...I see." Xiaobai understood and felt somewhat relieved.

"But no matter what, we're on a mission. I don't care how you play at night, but if you're late again next time, I'll have to punish you properly," Lexington said to the group of ship girls in front of her.

The ship girls felt as if they had been granted a pardon and rushed to the ranks, each one blushing and lowering their heads.

Since Lexington had already said so, Xiaobai didn't pursue the matter further. After a brief preparation, the ship girls set off for the main battlefield beach.

Warspite sat on the steps of Luo Lian's naval base, resting her chin on her hand and looking out the door. She listened to the footsteps of the ship girls getting fainter and fainter before finally turning her head and softly calling out into the doorway, "Admiral, they're gone."

"Oh, okay." Luo Lian, who had taken off her military uniform and changed into a rather suspicious set of casual clothes, came out carrying a thick stack of papers.

"...Admiral, what's that in your arms?"

“Draft paper… no, it’s more like a first draft.” Luo Lian lowered her head and looked at the contents. “I’ll go to a printing shop to print it out and have it bound.”

"You finished drawing it in just one night?"

"To be precise, it's not finished yet, it's just a first draft." Luo Lian sighed. "Originally, I was thinking of drawing the ship girl of the Whitey Naval Base who suddenly grew (beep) and then (beep) and for the sake of (beep) Whitey, she could only (beep) but unfortunately (beep) there was no other way (beep) and in the end, Whitey (beep) was the story. But it was too long, and the ship girls who participated later all said they wanted to add some scenes to it. In the last night, I could only draw less than one-tenth of the length."

Luo Lian then turned to Warspite and asked, "What do you think about serializing it as ten books? This is the first one."

Warspite covered her ears when she heard the beeping, but the ship girl's hearing was just too good. Even though Warspite covered her ears, she still heard every word Luo Lian said.

The next chapter will be out soon.

Chapter 529 Baltimore

Weary of war, I'm on the verge of tears.

To be honest, Warspite initially thought of herself as just an ordinary ship girl fighting against the deep sea to protect humanity.

Perhaps she has some strength, her rarity is not bad, she can be both elegant and domestic, and if the admiral is male, she can also warm his bed, which makes the admiral proud. However, that has never made Warspite question her existence.

—You're a ship girl, right? Ship girls have to fight deep-sea monsters, right? Just like Ultraman fighting monsters, and cats eating fish and dogs eating meat, it's only natural.

But it was only at this point that Warspite truly realized that the life of a ship girl was not just about fighting deep-sea monsters.

At least that's the case with war-weariness.

In the time since Warspite left the construction facility, she has never fought a single Abyssal Fleet. The closest she came was when she served as a scout and guard for the admiral during the few days he was in charge of the project, and she only saw a few Abyssal Fleets getting beaten up by the ship girls.

What else have I been doing besides this?

Eat, drink, sleep, watch the Admiral show off, eat, drink, sleep, watch the Admiral show off, eat, drink, sleep, watch the Admiral's good friend Xiaobai show off, then watch the Admiral draw Xiaobai's little yellow book, then witness all of this, and inexplicably become the thirty-first little brother of the comic group, and now I still have to discuss with the Admiral how to print the little book into a book.

Warspite said she was a bit tired and just wanted to fulfill her duty as a ship girl by fighting in the Abyss.

"Admiral, when are we going to set off?" Warspite asked.

“You have enough merit points already, you don’t need to go on the expedition, just rest at home.” Luo Lian shook her head and refused Warspite’s suggestion. “Warspite, come out with me later.”

"Huh? Why are you accompanying the Admiral out?"

“You look a bit older. If I bring these things, the print shop might not be able to print them for me,” Luo Lian said.

Warspite was stunned for a moment before realizing that he, the admiral, was not yet an adult.

This is terrible!

"By the way, Admiral, are you planning to sell these comic books in the future?"

"Impossible, I'd rather die than sell it." Luo Lian quickly clutched the comic book in her hands. "I won't let any man see this comic book."

"Is a woman enough?"

"...As for the ship girls in the newbie naval base..." Luo Lian stammered.

Warspite didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she accompanied Luo Lian to a printing shop. Under the puzzled yet embarrassed expression of the older sister at the printing shop, she bound Luo Lian's first copy of the Yuru Kantai Collection R18 Limited Edition into a hardcover book and printed out dozens of copies.

Filled with uncertainty about the future, War-weary returned to Luo Lian's garrison, and pitifully and helplessly huddled in a corner amidst the jubilation of her admiral, whose face seemed to bloom with joy.

In a courtyard a few hundred meters away from the newbie naval base and the Linlin naval base, a male admiral was looking at the paper in front of him with a worried expression.

In fact, this wasn't the first day he had been worrying.

While participating in the autumn activities, this melancholy had already wrapped around him like silk threads, making him lose his appetite and sleep.

—It seems like one of my ship girls is considering switching sides recently.

Here's the thing: this admiral's fleet isn't bad; he's considered quite prominent among admirals. His naval base isn't small either, with a population of at least twenty or thirty. With so many people, it's difficult to manage, so usually, after raising the ship girls' levels to a certain point, this admiral just lets them run wild. A few years ago, one of the ship girls in the base got too bored and applied for a job as an instructor at a ship girl training institution, staying outside for quite a while.

The admiral didn't have much of an opinion about the mentor position. After all, as an admiral, he had to respect the ship girl's choices, right? He was her admiral, not her master. Since the ship girl wanted to go out for a stroll, he would let her go.

And so, the ship girl who had been sidelined by this admiral for years left the naval base and became an instructor at a ship girl training institution.

Then, a few years later, while the admiral was preparing for the autumn deep-sea event, the ship girl who had gone out suddenly returned.

Well, she's back. At first, the admiral thought that the ship girl probably hadn't been home for too long and missed the naval base, so he even prepared a welcome banquet for her. At that time, all the ship girls in the naval base were decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations to welcome her.

—Then, the admiral met the ship girl she hadn't seen for several years.

She still looked the same, still the same ship girl, but her expression had changed from cheerful and lively to melancholic.

At that time, the ship girl was wearing a white dress that looked like it had been bought in a human city. Her long red hair was dancing in the wind, and her dress was swaying. Her smooth legs and sandal-clad toes were so alluring.

She returned to the admiral's life just like that, and with just her slightly melancholy eyes and the contrast with the impression of being gone for several years, she directly captivated her admiral.

The admiral said his heart was pounding so hard at the time, he felt like some shameless, naked brat was about to stab him in the heart with an arrow.

Good thing you're back. After a few years of training in human society, you've transformed a little girl into a stunning beauty.

At first, the admiral was happy and fawned over the ship girl a few times. Then, throughout the entire welcome banquet, everyone stared at her intently.

After the banquet ended, the ship girls accompanied the admiral back to the admiral's office to register. The admiral also wanted to take this opportunity to ask if they wanted to go out to see a movie or have a meal sometime.

However, the situation at that time was something the admiral never expected.

The ship girl walked into the admiral's room, raised her snow-white neck with a hint of melancholy, and gazed at the sky outside the window.

"Admiral, this naval base can function without me, right?"

"???"

Is this exciting news as soon as you get back?

When the admiral saw the ship girl's expression, which seemed to tell a story, tears welled up in his eyes.

"No, the naval base is your home..."

"Admiral, I saw someone outside."

"————QvQ"

The admiral thought, "Just as I thought."

He began to regret letting his ship girls wander into human society.

Ship girls are all innocent creatures. Just by looking at the ship girl's reaction, the admiral knows that his ship girl must have been held back by some lecherous playboy.

The admiral never expected that his first love would turn into a short but wonderful first romance before it even began.

It's a crush, damn it.

"Where did you meet her?" the admiral asked, tears welling in his eyes.

The ship girl naturally didn't notice anything amiss with her admiral. She lowered her head and murmured softly, "She's my colleague's admiral."

"Fellow travelers???" The admiral felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Yes," the ship girl said, "I want to find her."

"What are you looking for him for?"

"...I don't know." The ship girl thought for a while, looked at the admiral, and her gentle eyes were filled with pity.

The admiral understood just by looking into that gaze.
