Elder brother's garrison

Page 1685

Emerging from the group was a mature woman with a stunningly beautiful figure, dressed in leather pants.

All eyes immediately turned to the woman who had come out.

The woman was tall and slender, wearing leather boots and a shimmering leather outfit. The black feather-like decorations on the hem of her clothes swayed with her movements, radiating a dazzling purple glow. She picked up a microphone and brought it to her lips, her body moving in sync with the girl group members behind her, her red lips slightly parted.

In that instant, an aura of dominance emanated from him.

"The wind sweeps in the tide, creating a scene as beautiful as a painting, surpassing even the clash of swords and the thunder of horses..."

The lead singer unleashed a tremendous energy that seemed completely different from his supple physique. His soaring lyrics were enunciated clearly and precisely, exuding a powerful and majestic aura. Most importantly, his voice remained perfectly composed even under intense physical exertion. The opening track transported the studio to a battlefield, filled with the sight of armor and golden light.

“OHHHHHH”

An even louder cheer erupted from the audience.

"They're going to sing! Oh my god, they're actually going to sing!!!"

"It's an original song! It's an original song!!!"

"The lead singer is so handsome! I'm in love with her! I'm in love with her!!!"

……

On and off the stage, thunder and lightning raged.

Behind the scenes, Xiao Bai peeked through the curtain, mouth agape, at the backs of the Deep Sea Deans on stage.

"Boss, isn't that right? Isn't it amazing?" Director Chen looked at the audience's reaction with satisfaction.

"Ya, Ya and the others are so amazing..."

Watching the performance of the Deep Sea Deans on stage, Xiaobai couldn't immediately connect this group of top-notch girl group members with their lazy and timid appearance in the dressing room earlier.

"These are ship girls! Besides their appearance, their physical abilities are far beyond what humans can match." Director Chen turned his gaze back and proudly said to Xiaobai, "Boss, when I said you guys would be popular, I wasn't just saying that casually."

"If that's the case, maybe it really will work..." Xiaobai covered her mouth, muttering to herself as she looked behind her.

Before the Deep Sea Girls Group took to the stage, the hosts and celebrities on stage took the opportunity to go backstage, hoping to rest or have a drink of water. They had initially thought this song and dance segment would be a normal relaxation program, but when the music started and the lights filled the studio, the hosts and celebrities backstage were stunned as they watched the girl group perform on stage.

Compared to the audience watching the spectacle, the big-name stars backstage who have been in the entertainment industry for over a decade or even several decades could better appreciate just how professional the Deep Sea Girls Group was.

The celebrities who wanted to rest stared wide-eyed at the stage, while the hosts spilled their water cups on the floor.

"Director Chen, didn't you tell them about our situation?" Xiao Bai asked Director Chen.

"Of course not, I want to ensure that this plan goes perfectly! Before this, apart from a few program leaders and hosts who knew the truth, most people treated you as an ordinary girl group." Director Chen replied quickly, "What if I told them your identities and someone with bad intentions accidentally leaked the news?"

"Uh... the program schedule clearly states 'Kantai Collection Idol Group'..."

"Haha, there are at least fifty or a hundred people in this world who want to piggyback on the popularity of Kantai Collection. Novels, comics, music, movies, you can find tons of things using the Kantai Collection name with a simple search. You can't prove anything just by looking at a group's name." Director Chen seemed to be in a really good mood. He laughed twice and continued, "Besides, you haven't decided on the group's name yet, so how could I dare to just pick one for you? I can only use our project's name as a substitute."

"There's no need to be so harsh..."

"It's always good to be cautious!"

"..."

Seeing Director Chen's confident demeanor, Xiao Bai smiled gratefully at him and slowly withdrew his gaze.

Xiao Bai's attention was refocused on the stage.

The Deep Sea Girls' song and dance performance lasted for a full seven or eight minutes. As Deep Sea Yamato, the lead vocalist, finished singing the last line of the lyrics, the exciting music on stage stopped, the icy lights dimmed, and the lighting in the studio returned to normal.

The curtain is drawn.

The Deep Sea Girls disappeared from the audience's sight.

The audience cheered, still wanting more, trying to get the Deep Sea Girls to continue their performance.

The hosts of "Happy Base" quickly went on stage to take over the chaotic stage order, and it took a lot of effort to stabilize the stage.

The hosts calmed themselves down and began announcing the program.

"Thank you to the beautiful ladies for the wonderful program they prepared for us!"

"To be honest, my heart is still trembling from watching that performance!"

"Yes, this is the best performance I've ever seen in my life—speaking of which, I'm sure many of you in the audience have a question: who exactly are those ladies? Right?"

"Speaking of which, these young ladies have quite a background!"

"They're not just any ordinary performance group; their true identities will probably shock most of the people here!"

"Here we would like to solemnly introduce to you our heroes, our ship girl idol group!"

"That's right! They're not human, they're genuine ship girls!"

"Let's give a big cheer and thank these ship girl ladies once again!"

After much build-up, the host on stage excitedly revealed the identities of the Deep Sea Girls to the audience.

In an instant, it was like a bomb being dropped into a water tank.

"Kantai Collection!!"

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh————"

The term "ship girl" is often considered the most fantastical word in the human world.

As if some strange switch had been flipped, the audience below the stage erupted in cheers after a few seconds of breathlessness.

Chapter 2297 Little White Takes the Stage

Thunderous cheers erupted from the audience.

The crowd was instantly agitated, and the uncontrollable crowd stood up from their seats, eager to rush onto the stage.

The audience's emotions had been completely heightened by Lu Ming and the other big-name stars early on. Now, just as they finished enjoying the top-notch performance, the hosts shed their ship girl personas, almost instantly causing the audience to lose their minds. They shouted almost frantically, wanting to vent their excitement through their actions.

Fortunately, Director Chen had anticipated this scene, and the security personnel around the audience immediately stepped forward to control the crowd and maintain the audience's composure.

The hosts on stage continued to stabilize the chaotic scene, and they quickly began interviewing the other celebrities on stage about the topic of ship girls.

"Miss Luming, speaking of ship girls, have you ever heard of them before?"

"some."

"Does Miss Luming also like ship girls?"

"like."

"..."

Ultimately, thanks to Lu Ming's popularity, the chaotic studio gradually returned to normal.

Behind the scenes, Xiao Bai and Director Chen breathed a sigh of relief as the stage gradually returned to normal.

"Boss, you can go and get ready now." Director Chen looked at Xiaobai. "The hosts are maintaining order right now. In a few more minutes, once they've done that, they'll let you and your ship girl group go on stage again for the interview."

"So fast!"

"Yes, boss—you can go find your ship girls at the entrance now." Director Chen gave Xiaobai a thumbs up. "Boss, keep it up!"

Xiao Bai gave Director Chen a wry smile and quickly followed the staff to the backstage entrance.

When Xiaobai reached the backstage entrance, there were more than a dozen Deep Sea Deans standing in the waiting area in front of him. Deep Sea Yamato, who had just performed like a god descending to earth on stage, now looked as if his bones had been removed, and he was lying limply in Loki's arms, exuding an aura of defeat.

"What should I do?!" Before Shiro even got close, she heard Akami Yamato's mournful voice, "I just bit my tongue while singing the lyrics!"

"Did you bite your tongue?" Loki asked back.

"Yes! It's just a little bit, but it's there!" Deep Sea Yamato hugged Loki's chest, her face full of grievance. "I, I was so nervous, I didn't sing one line of the song well, and now I've embarrassed Shiro, it's all over... Shiro in the audience must have seen me make a fool of myself, I dragged him down, I let him down—"

Loki lowered her head and stroked Yamato's head. Just as she and the other Deep Sea Deans were about to say something, they suddenly heard Whitey's footsteps and turned to Whitey's side.

"Admiral? What are you doing here?"

Everyone stared in surprise at Xiaobai appearing backstage.

"It's a long story..." Xiaobai smiled at the Deep Sea Deans, waved, stopped in front of Loki, and smiled slightly at Deep Sea Yamato, who was nestled in Loki's arms, "Yamato-neechan."

"Eek!" Upon hearing Shiro's voice, Akami Yamato trembled as if a sensitive spot had been touched. She quickly looked up at Shiro, her face initially lighting up with surprise, but then she remembered what had just happened, and lowered her head in guilt, her fighting spirit waning. "Shiro... I'm... I'm sorry..."

"What does Yamato-neechan have to apologize for?" Shiro asked with a smile.

"I, when I was singing just now..." Yamato Fukami's voice trailed off.

"The song just now?" Xiaobai tilted her head, her smile undiminished. "Yamato-neechan's singing was wonderful, is there a problem?"

"But, but I made a mistake..."

"How could that be? Yamato-neechan's performance was flawless." Shiro stepped forward and gave Deepsea Yamato a thumbs up. "Yamato-neechan today... no, not just Yamato-neechan, everyone's performance today was flawless! I'm extremely satisfied!"

Throughout the performance, Yamato Fukami's singing was consistently excellent. Even after being reminded by Yamato Fukami and recalling the details of the song from memory, Xiaobai could only barely detect a very subtle inconsistency in one of the lyrics. And that was only because the rest of the performance was so perfect that the contrast made it noticeable.

This kind of mistake is like taking a couple of extra breaths; it's completely negligible.

Xiaobai wasn't one to nitpick; in fact, she thought that Shenhai Yamato's performance was a hundred times better than she had imagined. To this day, she had never thought that her Yamato sister could sing so well. Faced with Shenhai Yamato's apology, all Xiaobai could do was offer unconditional encouragement.

"Shiro..." Deep Sea Yamato was moved to tears. She knelt down with a sob and threw herself into Shiro's arms, rubbing her face against his. "Shiro—I love you so much—I really love you so much, waaaaah—"

"I like Yamato-neechan too."

Shiro and Yamato flirted affectionately in public.

Watching from the side, a group of deep-sea research institute directors, led by pachina, rubbed their foreheads, revealing their exhaustion.

In the end, it was Loki who intervened and interrupted Whitebeard and Yamato.

"Master, aren't you in the audience?" Loki asked White in a soft voice.

"Ah, about this matter, actually after you left..." Xiaobai said to Loki, recounting from beginning to end what happened on his side after the Deep Sea Girls left, "...In short, I've been pushed here by Director Chen and the others by some twist of fate to be on the show with you."

After saying the last sentence, Xiaobai scratched his head and smiled shyly.

It wasn't until after watching the song and dance performance that Xiaobai truly realized just how talented his Deepsea Deans were. Compared to them, Xiaobai felt that he, an admiral who did nothing but eat and salvage ships, was far inferior. The thought of going on stage with them later filled Xiaobai with a sense of inferiority.

"Huh? The Admiral is coming with us?" Hindenburg, who was standing nearby, looked excited when he heard what Xiaobai said.

"It's just accompanying you up for the interview, nothing important."

"Yay, yay!!" Deep-sea Hindenburg revealed a mouthful of sharp shark teeth and excitedly waved his arms, leaving a trail of afterimages around him.

“With you coming up with me, it won’t be too boring.” Pachina yawned and glanced at Xiaobai with one eye. “To be honest, if you don’t come with me, I might actually fall asleep on the stage later.”

"Even if you're sleeping on the stage..."

"I will perform a show honestly, which is already out of consideration for you."

"Ah, then..."

Xiao Bai chatted with the Deans of the Deep Sea Institute.

A few minutes passed.

The entrance to the stage was also opened.

Excited cheers erupted from outside the stage entrance.

"..."

"Alright, let's welcome back the ship girls and their admiral's agents!"

After the host finished speaking, a thunderous applause erupted from outside the door.

Upon seeing that they were being invited, the Deans of the Deep Sea Academy pulled Xiaobai over and pushed her to the front of the line.

"Admiral, let's go!"

"Master, we're on TV."

"..."

Xiao Bai let himself be pushed around by the Deans of the Deep Sea Academy, nervously swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

Go through the door.

suddenly see the light.

The deans of the Deep Sea Institute pushed Xiaobai in unison as they walked onto the stage amidst cheers from the outside world.

This was Xiaobai's first time stepping onto the stage. The moment her feet touched the stage floor, she felt hundreds of gazes scrutinizing her from all directions. These gazes were not only different from the gentle and friendly gazes of her own ship girls, but were also filled with a strong sense of aggression, as if they wanted to peel Xiaobai apart from the inside out, making her quite uncomfortable.

Xiao Bai followed the gaze and looked towards the audience seats in the distance.

The audience was waving glow sticks, their eyes burning with excitement as they stared intently at him.

Although I couldn't sense any obvious malice, it was still... truly frightening...
