Elder brother's garrison

Page 815

Where the ship girl's gaze fell, a black-haired woman dressed as an admiral stood alone in an open space. Her long black hair was tied into a neat single ponytail that draped over her back. She stood straight, raised her arm, and silently stared at the hands of the watch on her wrist.

The woman stood there quietly without replying, maintaining her posture without the slightest tremor. If it weren't for the ship girl speaking to them, the others wouldn't even have noticed her standing there for a moment.

After waiting for a while, the ship girl reluctantly lowered her head.

"Captain... the rules say that if the target doesn't open the door, we can break it down after three reminders... look, I've called it almost thirty times already..." the ship girl muttered awkwardly in a low voice, "So... should we break down the door or not?"

"Shout it thirty more times."

A calm and pleasant voice, carrying a faint air of coolness, came from the woman's parted lips.

"Huh? Still shouting?" The ship girl exhaled, her beautiful features suddenly contorted with a mix of grievance and exhaustion. "No, Captain... I don't think shouting will do any good... Why don't you do it... You know, don't you know the admiral of this naval base? Maybe they'll open fire because of you."

"..." The woman did not speak.

The ship girl looked at the black-haired woman who had turned back into a statue, and immediately bent over with a distressed expression.

"Sigh... alright, I'll call out three more times..."

"Okay," the woman said suddenly, a beat late.

"Ten... um?" The ship girl raised her head in a daze.

"I come."

Under the gaze of the entire group of ship girls, the woman lowered her arm and readily echoed their words.

In the silence, the woman walked to the ship girl who had knocked on the door earlier, stood in front of the door, and remained expressionless.

The gate of the courtyard house was tall and thick.

It reflected a deep, reddish hue under the sunlight.

Under the ship girl's astonished gaze, the woman slowly raised her hand and opened her mouth.

"open……"

"Wow!"

Before the woman could utter her first word, the courtyard gate was suddenly flung open.

Behind the door, a black-haired ship girl in a gorgeous red dress looked at the two people standing at the door with their hands raised, a faint smile on her face.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!" The ship girl greeted the two people in front of the door with a gentle and bright smile.

"..." The woman didn't speak and withdrew her hand.

The twin-tailed ship girl next to the woman reacted the fastest. She immediately stood at attention, saluted the ship girl inside the door, and gave a very spirited smile.

"Hello! We are the Military Police! Thank you very much for your cooperation! We hope we have not disturbed your normal life!" The twin-tailed ship girl thanked the red-clad ship girl.

"Oh my... what a lively child... Hello, my name is Akagi." The red-clad ship girl smiled at the ship girl who was saluting her, then bowed slightly to the two of them and stepped aside. "Please come in."

Inside the courtyard, several tables were set up in a rather lavish manner, with pancakes, fried dough sticks, steamed buns, sandwiches, and all sorts of other dishes, as well as bowls of white porridge placed side by side.

A considerable number of ship girls stood in the courtyard, staring at him with all sorts of different expressions.

A minority are simply curious.

Most of them, however, showed only a vague resistance.

The twin-tailed ship girl didn't react in any special way to this treatment; she simply smiled brightly at all the ship girls looking at her.

"Thank you for your cooperation! But may I ask where your admiral is?" The black-haired woman remained silent, while the twin-tailed ship girl beside her helped her through the process. "Because of the investigation, we need to see him at least once."

"Ah... about this, our admiral is a little shy..."

"That won't do... because we received information that a destroyer wearing a wedding ring has been coming and going here recently. We suspect that your admiral has an improper relationship with the destroyer, so in order to find out the truth, we still need to meet with her. Please forgive us."

"The admiral did indeed present a wedding ring to the destroyer..."

"Ah...that makes things much more difficult. Things are very tense lately, and the military police can't ignore something like this being exposed at this critical juncture. Um, speaking of which, as an admiral, the handover of the wedding ship is a very important and ceremonial matter. Please remember not to be too casual about it, lest it cause a scandal..."

The twin-tailed ship girl gave a somewhat embarrassed look and then said.

"Indecent and immoral?"

Just then, a commotion broke out, and a white-haired ship girl, ignoring the full-fledged obstruction of another green-haired ship girl beside her, stepped out with a frown and a hint of anger on her delicate face.

The white-haired ship girl walked up to the twin-tailed ship girl without showing any weakness, looked into her eyes, and stared directly into her gaze.

"I can't pretend I didn't hear that. Take it back."

The twin-tailed ship girl stared blankly at the white-haired ship girl who had come out and was now yelling at her, looking somewhat bewildered.

"Um... May I ask who you are...?"

"I am the Admiral's wedding ship."

The white-haired ship girl crossed her arms, her delicate face slightly raised, revealing a hint of mature arrogance in her eyes.

"Any comments?"

The twin-tailed ship girl stared silently at the ship girl in front of her who possessed an inexplicable oppressive aura, and for a moment, the scene was somewhat silent.

—Did I say something wrong just now?

Ah!

Eighty percent yes!

The twin-tailed ship girl was deep in thought when she quickly realized what was happening. She composed herself and looked at the white-haired ship girl in front of her with a hint of apology.

"Uh... well, anyway... I'm sorry... I take back what I just said... um... anyway..."

The twin-tailed ship girl carefully considered her words, speaking cautiously.

"...You are the destroyer?"

Among the bulging veins that instantly appeared on the white-haired ship girl's forehead.

They gave the worst possible answer.

Chapter 1081 You, come with us.

In the middle of the courtyard, Roma, who was gazing at the members of the military police, instinctively exclaimed "Ah!" when she heard the words spoken by the twin-tailed ship girl, and then slapped her forehead.

It’s over.

She said those words!

That's a forbidden spell!

What... what should we do now...?

To date, no one has ever been able to say those words to the boss and escape unscathed!

Rome slapped his shiny forehead in frustration.

At this moment in Rome, there is a sense that things are rapidly heading towards a bad end.

At the same time, the twin-tailed ship girl had just finished speaking.

Veneto, who had initially only wanted an explanation, suddenly revealed a genuine chill in his fiery red eyes, which seemed to have evolved from a wild, crackling flame into calm, flowing magma.

"...Oh...huh?"

"Eh?! Did I...did I say something wrong again?" The twin-tailed ship girl was stunned. Looking at Veneto, whose anger had clearly escalated to a new level, she opened her mouth somewhat helplessly and subconsciously took a few steps back.

“…Battleships,” Veneto said softly.

"what?"

"Battleship".

"Uh...uh? Battleship...what does that mean?"

“What I mean is… is…” Veneto took a deep breath, clenched his fist, and, under everyone’s gaze, declared loudly, “I! Am a warrior…”

Veneto's shouts hadn't even finished.

Two cups of hot tea, still steaming, were suddenly held steadily by one hand and entered the field of vision of the twin-tailed ship girl and Veneto.

Veneto, who was on the verge of exploding, shut her mouth and looked at Missouri, who had suddenly appeared between her and the twin-tailed ship girl, with a puzzled expression.

"Veneto, you truly deserve to be the one who received the Admiral's wedding ring before Missouri. Missouri is far inferior to you in courage to be the first to stand up for the Admiral at a time like this. The Admiral must be very moved. Veneto, would you like a cup of tea to soothe your throat first?"

Missouri smiled at Veneto.

Veneto followed Missouri's gaze and turned to look.

Little White, who had been hiding in a corner with the destroyers, saw that he was on the verge of losing his temper and hurriedly ran towards him with a concerned look on his face.

"Veneto!"

Little White ran quickly towards them, waving his hands as he did so. In full view of everyone, he leaped into Veneto's arms in a flash, embracing her tightly.

Little White was carried on Veneto's back and spun around several times before finally landing on the ground.

"Ha...ha...Veneto..." After landing on the ground, Little White, panting, reached out and grabbed Veneto's hand, clasping their hands together. "Ha...ha...Thank you! Thank you! For standing up for me...I was hiding until just now...I'm so sorry! And thank you so much!"

Xiao Bai spoke breathlessly, her face flushed.

In golden eyes.

It shone like stars.

The dazzling light left Veneto speechless, and for a moment he even forgot to be angry.

Veneto stared wide-eyed, simply gazing blankly at the little white creature that had suddenly rushed in front of him.

"Oh...oh...oh."

Veneto responded blankly with two utterances.

Little White gratefully reached out again and rushed into Veneto's arms, hugging him tightly while laughing.

Veneto stumbled back several steps under the impact of the white car.

Feeling the tight embrace of Little White, Veneto, with his chin resting on Little White's shoulder, glanced at Missouri, who was still holding a cup of hot tea and smiling at him.

Missouri remained silent.

But there was an inexplicable, knowing mockery in Missouri's smile that made Veneto want to punch someone right now.

Veneto looked away.

“…I shouldn’t have rushed out on my own just now. I was impulsive. I’m sorry.” Veneto looked down at the floor, seemingly talking to someone, her face slightly flushed, and muttered a few words softly.

Missouri turned her head to the other side, looking at Veneto's twin-tailed ship girl with a bewildered expression.

"Veneto-senpai is a reliable battleship ship girl. Among Italian ship girls, Veneto-senpai is a very famous and excellent ship girl." Missouri said with a smile to the twin-tailed ship girl.

"Eh?? Is that so?!" The twin-tailed ship girl gaped in disbelief upon hearing Missouri's explanation, her embarrassment deepening. "Ah...yes, I'm sorry, ah...you're right, I shouldn't have judged by appearances...I'm so sorry..."

"Shh, don't let the senior hear." Missouri whispered to the twin-tailed ship girl, then held out her other teacup slightly towards her with a businesslike smile, "Would you like some tea, senior?"

"Uh...I won't..."

“If you don’t drink either, Missouri will be in a very awkward position coming out with two cups of tea. So, for Missouri’s sake, please accept them,” Missouri said with a wry smile.

"..." The twin-tailed ship girl, with little room to refuse, turned her head somewhat timidly and worriedly, glancing at the expression of the woman beside her. Seeing that the woman didn't react, she finally felt relieved and walked over to Missouri, taking the teacup from her hand. "Well... thank you..."

The twin-tailed ship girl blew on the steam rising from her teacup, then slurped a few mouthfuls.

It has a slightly bitter taste upon entry, followed by a sweet and cool aftertaste.

The twin-tailed ship girl looked at the teacup in surprise.

Both in terms of the tea leaves and the brewing technique, this is a rare and excellent cup of tea.

"Ah...good stuff..." The twin-tailed ship girl held the teacup and subconsciously revealed a comfortable smile.

The twin-tailed ship girl suddenly seemed to realize something, her face flushed, and she quickly coughed lightly, withdrawing her half-revealed smile.

"Ahem... Um... I'm a little sorry, I lost my composure." The twin-tailed ship girl blushed and smiled apologetically at Missouri.

"Senior, there's no need to be so formal. Speaking of which, what is the name of your ship, Senior?"

"Hmm? Just call me assistant." The twin-tailed ship girl smiled shyly at Missouri. "Names aren't important."

“…Oh.” Missouri looked at the twin-tailed ship girl’s nonchalant face, her eyes flickering slightly. “I see. Missouri was being presumptuous.”

Missouri's gaze swept past the twin-tailed ship girl who was slurping her tea with her head down, and landed on the human woman next to her.

The woman noticed Missouri's gaze and turned her calm gaze back to meet her eyes.

Missouri smiled at the woman: "Your Excellency... are you the Admiral?"
