Elder brother's garrison

"Isn't that right?"

“That’s not right.” Iowa nodded. “We agreed beforehand that you, Admiral, would buy me the clothes. You only need to pay for the clothes that belong to me.”

"Uh...it's not bad...anyway, New Jersey is included too." Xiaobai said helplessly to Iowa, "And those clothes must be very expensive...I guess I'll have to do it..."

“That’s different.” Faced with this question, Iowa took it very seriously. She shook her head and solemnly cupped Xiaobai’s cheeks. “This is an opportunity that I worked hard to get. I’m not going to share it with anyone else, not even my lovely little sister. Besides, I’ve earned some money in the month or so I’ve been in the naval base. I can still afford to buy clothes for my sister.”

“…Uh.” Xiaobai, “Okay…alright, but then again, Iowa, you’ve been picking out clothes for New Jersey…at least pick something out for yourself…”

"..." Iowa looked at Xiaobai's face, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Does the Admiral mean I should pick one out?"

"Yes, that's right..." Xiaobai nodded.

“Actually, I’ve already made my selection,” Iowa said with a smile.

"Huh? Are you done picking?" Xiaobai was taken aback, and subconsciously looked at Iowa's clothes. "Uh... which one did you pick..."

Iowa's clothing style doesn't seem to have changed at all.

Just as Xiaobai was staring at Iowa's clothes with difficulty, carefully comparing and thinking with her own memories, she saw Iowa suddenly put down Xiaobai's cheek, then lean forward gently, hold Xiaobai's shoulder and bring her mouth close to Xiaobai's ear.

“Admiral… of course you can’t tell just by looking.”

Iowa's meaningful voice rang in Xiaobai's ear in a very alluring way.

Then Xiaobai felt Iahua grab her hand and gently pull it to her chest.

Xiao Bai's fingertips instantly sank into the enchanting hills.

It was incredibly soft, instantly enveloping Xiaobai's palm.

"Hmm." A faint hum unconsciously escaped Iowa's nose.

"Huh?" Xiaobai flinched involuntarily, her face suddenly turning red with embarrassment. She quickly pulled her hand away and lowered her voice, "Yi, Yi Ahua, we're in a clothing store right now..."

But Xiaobai's outward-pulling hand was held tightly by Iowa's gentle yet powerful hand, and it did not separate from that enchanting hill.

“Admiral, I picked out a short skirt with lots of buttons for New Jersey. She’ll be wearing it for a long time in the changing room, and the saleswoman went to pay the bill, so no one saw us.” Iowa reassured Xiaobai in her ear, “Besides, I’m lying on top of you right now, so even if someone is around, they won’t be able to tell anything.”

"Huh?? Huh... But, but..."

"Shh." Iowa gently pressed Xiaobai's hand against his chest. "Admiral, are you feeling a little excited?"

"..." Xiaobai really didn't want to answer this question right now.

"I'm...very excited right now..." Iowa said softly.

Chapter 1455 One Step Away

Iowa clung tightly to Xiaobai, her breath brushing against Xiaobai's earlobe, causing a slight tickling sensation.

But at this moment, Xiaobai had no time to care about the itching in her ears.

because.

She was stunned by Iowa's actions at that moment.

The clothing store where Xiaobai and Yi Ahua were located was a seemingly high-end luxury clothing store. These stores follow a refined route of fewer but more expensive items, so compared to ordinary stores, the customer traffic is not very high, especially now that it is already afternoon and the peak traffic period for such stores has passed.

After Iowa escorted New Jersey into the changing room and dismissed the waitress, the area around Xiaobai and Iowa was now completely empty, except for piles of clothes.

As Xiaobai felt the soft touch from Iowa's palm, a slightly rapid heartbeat seemed to travel through Iowa's chest to Xiaobai's palm.

Boom, boom, boom, boom...

Just as Iowa said, his heart was beating very fast at that moment.

"Admiral, can you feel it?" A tempting blush rose on Iowa's fair cheeks. "My heartbeat."

Xiao Bai was completely stunned by Iowa's actions and didn't know what to say.

"Iowa, you... why are you suddenly like this..." Xiaobai shrank back, blushing as she muttered softly, "We're in a public place... you can't do this..."

"Huh? Didn't I just... tell the Admiral?" Iowa tapped the back of Shiro's hand with her fingertip. "I just wanted the Admiral to see the clothes I chose."

"Huh? Clothes...?"

“Yes, after all, it was the Admiral who paid for it. Wouldn’t it be a bit unreasonable not to let the Admiral see it?” Iowa whispered to Xiaobai, “After all… Admiral, this one was carefully selected by me…”

“Carefully selected…” Xiaobai repeated Iowa’s words blankly. After a while, she blinked and suddenly realized, “Ah… could it be that the clothes you chose, Iowa, are…”

“That’s right, it’s underwear,” Iowa laughed.

"Ugh..." Xiaobai looked troubled. "Iohua... it's not really appropriate to wear underwear under your clothes and bring it out of the changing room..."

"Please rest assured, Admiral. I obtained the shop assistant's permission before coming out." Iowa anticipated Xiaobai's answer, then took a light breath and moved closer to Xiaobai's body. "Well then, Admiral... bringing a girl into a clothing store means taking on the task of appraising her, right? In that case, shouldn't you take responsibility and give me a proper appraisal now?"

"Huh?" Xiaobai was dumbfounded.

Just as Xiaobai's brain was being roasted by Iowa's scorching breath and he was wondering what to do, Iowa slightly raised his leg, rested his knee on the chair on either side of Xiaobai, and gently sat down on Xiaobai's lap amidst a rustling sound.

"Admiral, is it heavy?" Iowa asked in a low voice.

"Huh?" Little White blinked blankly. "What's heavy?"

“My weight,” Iowa breathed gently into Xiaobai’s ear.

"...No, it's not heavy," Little White answered honestly.

Although Iowa has a very slender and voluptuous figure, and you always feel that your shoulders and waist would ache if you stood for a long time, Iowa is actually surprisingly light. Even when she sits on Xiaobai's lap, all Xiaobai feels is the satisfaction of soft flesh against soft flesh, and he can hardly feel the burden of her weight.

"That's good." Iowa breathed a sigh of relief, then reached for her chest and shifted her body slightly. "So, what's next..."

"Alas??"

Xiao Bai vaguely heard the sound of Io Hua's shirt button popping open, and then felt Io Hua lift her hand that was pressed against her chest and lead it into a warm, open collar.

First, Xiaobai felt a warm current in his palm.

Then, Xiaobai's palm touched skin that was as smooth as milk.

Xiao Bai first touched the delicate, soft shoulder, then slid down the beautiful skin and pressed against the high, full mound. The moment Xiao Bai's palm touched the mound, it felt as if it were immersed in cotton candy, sinking deep into the mound.

"Waaah—" Xiaobai froze instantly. She looked around frantically, and only after confirming that no one was passing by did she hurriedly bury her head on Iowa's shoulder, then closed her eyes, trembling.

Iowa continued to guide Xiaobai's palm deeper.

"I, I, I really can't... If this goes on... then... then... eh?" Xiaobai was truly terrified by I, I's outrageous actions. This kind of exciting play was still too early for Xiaobai at this age. She tried to pull her hand out while nervously talking to I, I, I, but before she could say two words, she suddenly felt her hand touch a bright and soft fabric rubbing against I, I, I's mound.

Little White blinked and immediately stopped struggling.

Hmm... this feel...

The fabric that Xiaobai was touching had a softness completely different from that of a young girl's skin, and it also had a wonderful sense of layering, as if layers of thin gauze were overlapping and piled up.

Ok……

It feels somewhat familiar to me.

“Iohua… this underwear of yours… could it be…” Xiaobai remained pressed against Iohua’s shoulder, her brows furrowed.

"As expected of the Admiral, you can tell just by touching it." Iowa's melodious voice came down. "That's right, it's the Admiral's favorite style of lace lingerie."

"Uh... I, I like..." Little White broke out in a cold sweat, "Who told you that..."

“Missouri told me,” Iowa said playfully. “It was quite a struggle for me to get this information out of Missouri.”

"……"noob.

Oh wow.

After Iowa's reminder, Xiaobai finally remembered.

Speaking of which, when I was helping Missouri change Hindenburg's clothes, there was an incident where we discussed what kind of underwear I liked Missouri to wear.

Is such that.

Actually, Xiaobai thinks it was a misunderstanding.

Really.

It's a misunderstanding.

I've already said it was a misunderstanding.

No laughing!

Xiaobai thought that the misunderstanding would end there, but she never expected that the misunderstanding would inexplicably spread from Missouri to Iowa, and just happened to manifest itself in the fact that she bought underwear for Iowa...

Hmm...how to put it.

Although Xiaobai does think lace lingerie is pretty and mature, he is, after all, a proper admiral. His strange impression of liking lace lingerie is too easy to cause strange misunderstandings among the ship girls, so he should correct it as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Xiaobai took a deep breath.

“Um… Iowa, listen to me, actually it’s like this…” Xiaobai looked up at Iowa’s face, “Huh??”

Xiao Bai was stunned.

At this moment, Io Hua's face was flushed, a far cry from her previous composure and confidence that she had everything under control. Her eyes were glazed over, her cheeks were rosy, and she gently pressed Xiao Bai's hand, which was already embedded in her chest, through her clothes. Her slender shoulders trembled, and Io Hua was panting softly as she gazed at Xiao Bai with moist eyes.

The breath that came out of Iowa's small mouth was wonderfully sweet, as if it could freeze one's thoughts, leaving Xiaobai stunned for a moment.

"Iowa...you, what are you doing..."

"...Admiral...your hand..." Iowa pressed tightly to her chest, her moist eyes shimmering like a kaleidoscope, "...it feels even more...than I imagined..."

"..."

"I'm sorry... Admiral, I might have... lost my composure a little." Iowa leaned down slightly, her intoxicated face close to Shiro's. "...Actually, even I'm embarrassed to do this kind of thing in a place like this... It's all because of you, Admiral. As long as you're here, as long as you're by my side, I'm not afraid of anything..."

Iowa cupped Xiaobai's face in her hands, breathed softly on it, and slowly pressed her rosy lips to Xiaobai's lips.

"Admiral... please don't refuse me... if you refuse me now... I will absolutely... absolutely be killed by my own shame and turn into a strange person..."

"Admiral..."

Iowa cupped Xiaobai's face in her hands, her moist lips slowly approaching Xiaobai's mouth.

Iowa's gaze was unfocused.

Xiao Bai stared blankly at Io Hua, motionless like a marionette.

"Sister Iowa?" Then, the ghost-like New Jersey suddenly appeared next to Little White and Iowa.

"Whoaaaaah!!" Little White's heart stopped in fright at the sound of New Jersey's voice. Like a spring, she jumped out of Iowa's arms with a red face, then covered her face and let gravity pull her to the ground with a thud.

"New Jersey?" Iowa remained frozen in her embrace of the air, turning her head in a daze.

"Sister, I can't fit into this dress."

New Jersey pointed to her half-undone long dress, revealing most of her fair shoulders and long, shapely legs, and said expressionlessly to Iowa.

"..." Iowa.

Iowa said she was really angry to death.

Chapter 1456 Let's have a lemon to calm down

War often begins before either side fires the first shot.

The same reason.

Dating the admiral is the same.

The great master of romance, the leader of the era of ship girls, and the mentor of 100,000 girls, Ms. Iowa, the ship girl, once said.

The best way to avoid being a "loser" is to find an opportunity to make it a fait accompli.

—Yes, that's what she said, just now.

Long before Iowa and Little White left home—or more precisely, when Iowa learned that Little White was going to take them to Ella's city—she sensed the impending war.

The invisible battle belonging to Iowa has begun.

In order to win, Iowa secretly began her dating plans after learning the news.

In the naval base for newbies, there are not only many people and many "enemies," but also several senior figures such as Bismarck, Hood, Akagi, and Lexington are constantly watching over him. Under such harsh conditions, it is difficult for Iowa to launch an effective strategy for conquering him in the style of Iowa.

But once they left the naval base and arrived in a remote human city, free from those rivals and obstacles, Iowa was like a little bird returning to nature, able to unleash his full potential.

The first step of the plan was that, a day before everyone arrived in the city where the Ella family lived, Iowa, who had asked Xiaobai about the destination, secretly bought himself an electronic map of the city and took a break to carefully study the entire map.
