Elder brother's garrison

"Yes." The woman nodded.

"This is the first time Missouri has ever seen a military police admiral serving in the military police."

“Not surprising.” The woman said, then lowered her head, rummaged in her clothes, pulled out a commander’s certificate, and handed it to Missouri and Akagi with both hands. “Hello, my name is Duan Shuiliu.”

“Ah… Duan Shuiliu…” Chicheng’s eyes widened in surprise upon hearing the woman’s introduction.

Duan Shuiliu looked towards Chicheng with great sensitivity.

Akagi explained to Duan Shuiliu, "Well... when our previous admiral was still alive, we talked about you, Miss Duan Shuiliu."

"What did he say about me?"

"...That admiral...likes to talk nonsense, it's not a comment worth conveying." Akagi shook his head, but the initial awkwardness in his gaze towards Duan Shuiliu softened slightly.

Akagi turned around and called out to Shiro, who was still holding Veneto and apologizing and thanking him.

"Admiral!"

"Ah, um! I'm here!" Upon hearing this, Xiaobai released her arm that had been tightly holding onto Veneto. After holding Veneto's hand and exchanging a few more words with her, she reluctantly let go of Veneto, whose face was already flushed, and ran to Akagi's side.

This is Xiaobai's second meeting with Miss Duan Shuiliu.

Upon seeing Xiaobai again and clearly recognizing him as the admiral who had just appeared behind him, Duan Shuiliu's gaze flickered slightly, but his expression remained largely unchanged.

However, compared to Duan Shuiliu, who didn't react much, the twin-tailed ship girl next to her, holding a teacup, stared wide-eyed in surprise.

"Eh?" The twin-tailed ship girl looked at Shiro, her gaze lingering on Shiro's face and figure, which wouldn't seem out of place even if she joined the Fubuki sisters and became the fifth Yuki destroyer. "This... this is your admiral?"

"Yes."

"Eh... but your naval base's admiral... shouldn't be a man wearing glasses, like this..." The twin-tailed ship girl gestured in mid-air with her teacup in hand, and then her gaze turned blankly to Duan Shuiliu.

"The documents on my desk are from a few years ago," Duan Shuiliu said to the ship girl as if it were a matter of course.

"Huh? Huh... But... why hasn't the captain said anything yet..."

"Because I just happened to be coming here." Duan Shuiliu said expressionlessly.

"Ah...ah..." The twin-tailed ship girl gaped, her face growing increasingly embarrassed. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she turned her gaze to Akagi and Shiro, lowered her head apologetically, and quickly bowed, "I'm so sorry, so sorry, so sorry, so sorry, so sorry, it's all my fault, so sorry, so sorry!!!!"

The military police were searching the admiral who had an improper relationship with a destroyer, a clearly underage individual.

However, given Xiaobai's obvious young age, even if he marries a destroyer, it would probably be more like a playmate relationship than the dirty kind that only exists between adults. There would be no improper relationship between them.

This time, it was the twin-tailed girl who was an assistant ship girl who misunderstood Shiro.

After the explanation, Xiaobai, who had come to understand that it was a misunderstanding, breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

"Speaking of which, Miss Duan Shuiliu, you just said you were originally going to come here? Do you have something else to discuss with us?"

Amidst the storm of apologies, Akagi and Shiro suddenly asked Duan Shuiliu a question out of curiosity.

This misunderstanding that almost scared Xiaobai away would have been avoided if Duan Shuiliu had simply explained it to the ship girl properly.

"..." Duan Shuiliu lowered his head, looking at Xiaobai's face, "Lu Lin."

"Huh? Yes! I'm here!"

"Come sit at my place for a while." Duan Shuiliu earnestly extended his hand to Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai darted behind Chi Cheng in a flash, peeking out with a wary and nervous expression, and fearfully glancing at Duan Shuiliu.

Duan Shuiliu kept his outstretched hand and looked at Chicheng.

"...Sorry, my admiral has to go on an expedition with his companions later... to complete a campaign event." Akagi smiled wryly.

"I'll help you with the event."

“…That’s too kind of you. Our Admiral is probably looking forward to a duel with you, isn’t he?” Akagi shielded Shiro’s body with her hand and smiled at Duan Shuiliu. “Well, if Miss Duan really wants to communicate and get to know our Admiral…Akagi thinks it would be better to do it after the event.”

"Not now?" Duan Shuiliu blinked and withdrew his hand.

"It's a bit of a dilemma."

Duan Shuiliu nodded silently, seemingly giving up.

Seeing Duan Shuiliu give up so decisively.

Xiaobai and Chicheng both breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, Duan Shuiliu silently walked up to Missouri, reached out his hand, and took Missouri's hand amidst the puzzled looks of the crowd.

There was a "pop" sound.

Duan Shuiliu skillfully pulled out a pair of shiny handcuffs and, to everyone's astonishment, handcuffed Missouri's hand to his own wrist.

"Arrest for having an improper relationship with a minor admiral."

"Take a trip with us."

Chapter 1082 My Conscience Really Hurts (4000 words)

After handcuffing Missouri, Duan Shuiliu slightly raised his arm.

Missouri's handcuffed arm also stretched out towards Duan Shuiliu, pulled by the handcuffs.

The cold metal reflected the low light of the sunlight.

The handcuffs were tightened around Missouri's wrists.

It felt somewhat cold and heavy.

Rumble.

As Missouri's wrist was pulled up by Duan Shuiliu.

Before Duan Shuiliu could even react, the other ship girls from the military police unit who had entered felt the surroundings suddenly darken and grow colder. Then, a heavy and powerful aura, like an overwhelming tidal wave, pressed down from all directions.

The once orderly military police ship girls trembled, feeling as if all the blood in their bodies had been rapidly drained in that instant. Their limbs gradually became numb and cold, and some even began to tremble uncontrollably.

The military police ship girls trembled and nearly fell to the ground one by one. They barely managed to regain their balance and looked up somewhat bewilderedly at the source of the pressure.

Just this one look.

The ship girls' faces turned pale instantly upon seeing this.

"Alas!"

"hiss!"

The ship girls felt their hair stand on end.

At that moment, the ship girls who had been harmless and gathered in the center of the courtyard, who had not reacted until just now, suddenly changed their tune when Duan Shuiliu handcuffed Missouri's wrists.

Finally, things changed.

Whether it was the dignified and elegant battleships, the gentle and kind aircraft carriers, the clever and innocent heavy and light cruisers, or the shy and simple destroyers, at this moment they all seemed to have transformed into demons, their expressions turning dark one by one.

Their eyes, which were originally as bright and colorful as jewels, now shimmered with a blood-red light.

They didn't say a word; they just stared silently at everyone present, their faces expressionless.

He exuded a strong aura of ferocity.

When the military police ship girls are carrying out operations, they sometimes encounter ship girls who resist arrest when they are bringing the target admiral back for investigation. As a result, the ship girls get angry and put on a fighting stance. The military police ship girls will encounter this three or four times a month.

Logically speaking, they should have gotten used to this threatening atmosphere by now.

The military police ship girls were in the center of the ship girls' line of sight, wondering and thinking at the same time, experiencing a helpless sense of panic as their legs trembled slightly.

—Not on the same level.

—They're not even in the same league.

—All the resistance I've encountered from ship girls before, even if you put them all together, pale in comparison to this one. It's as simple and childish as a little kid crawling on the ground, kicking and crying for a toy…

Their meaning was very clear.

If our captain dares to take that ship girl away, they'll kill us on the spot...

—These women…are serious…

—Waaaaah, they're serious!

The military police ship girls were so frightened they were about to cry.

This feeling is like being thrown onto a chopping board, being stared at with pure, malevolent intent...

It's really... terrifying...

Can't win!

In this kind of atmosphere, there's absolutely no way I can win!

These ship girls are absolutely insane!

If I don't do something soon... I might really die here today!

The ship girls, frozen in fear and unable to move even a finger, helplessly glanced sideways at Duan Shuiliu.

The ship girls' fierce aura was clearly directed at the ship girls behind Duan Shuiliu. Xiaobai and Duan Shuiliu, who were in the center of the courtyard, were completely unaffected.

Captain... please let her go...

The military police ship girls desperately wanted to speak, but under immense pressure, they couldn't even open their mouths. They could only silently pray that Duan Shuiliu hadn't done anything further.

Amidst the prayers in the hearts of the ship girls.

As if sensing something, Duan Shuiliu turned around and looked at the ship girls behind her.

The ship girls looked at Duan Shuiliu with trembling eyes, and gave him a smile that looked like they were crying, moved by his words.

Captain! Please save our captain!

The ship girls tried to communicate with Duan Shuiliu through their eyes.

Duan Shuiliu's expression remained unchanged, and the ship girls couldn't tell whether she understood their meaning or not.

Duan Shuiliu glanced at the ship girls' somewhat formal yet embarrassing postures and expressions with a hint of confusion, before looking thoughtfully at the ship girls of the rookie naval base.

In Duan Shuiliu's eyes.

The rookie naval girls at the naval base all had grim faces, their pretty faces showing deep displeasure as they stared at the military police girls.

"..." Duan Shuiliu tilted his head.

Duan Shuiliu glanced at the ship girls from the military police unit.

The ship girls looked at Duan Shuiliu with emotion.

"Then we'll take this ship girl with us." Amidst the ship girls' expressions of utter despair, Duan Shuiliu bowed to Xiaobai. "During the investigation, we guarantee to uphold the basic rights that the target ship girl should have. After the investigation, if the circumstances are not serious, you may take her back. Maintaining the image and conduct of the ship girls and the admiral is a fundamental duty of the military police members. Thank you very much for your cooperation and understanding."

"Ah...ah..." Xiaobai's face was extremely stiff, "Target...target..."

It’s over.

Missouri has been targeted...

"But... Missouri is a ship girl..."

"In terms of results, human error is more common than that of pure ship girls. So the military police usually target the admirals." Duan Shuiliu said, raising his arm slightly to show Xiaobai the handcuffs on his wrist that were tied to Missouri. "But the military police do indeed have the right to arrest ship girls suspected of crimes."

"Missouri and I are innocent!"

"Needs investigation."

"How...how do we investigate?"

"Are there any signs of physical contact, such as kissing or..." Duan Shuiliu looked down at Xiaobai's body, then at Missouri, "...Hmm, no."

"...I...I'm an adult!" Xiaobai clutched her chest. "My ID card says I'm an adult!"

"You're not even 17 years old this year."

"!" Xiao Bai looked at Duan Shuiliu in surprise, who had suddenly exposed him.

Duan Shuiliu understood the big "why" in Xiaobai's eyes. She thought for a while and opened her mouth: "When we took Lu Yun to the military police station to make a statement before, in less than ten minutes, everyone in the military police station knew that he had a very young sister."

"..." Xiaobai's eyes were lifeless.

For the first time in my life.

A strange emotion began to brew in Xiaobai's heart towards his older brother, whom he had always respected immensely.

Xiaobai was in despair.

Along with Xiaobai, the other military police ship girls standing behind Duan Shuiliu were also filled with despair.
