Elder brother's garrison

A dark vortex appeared in Bismarck's house with a whoosh.

Xiaobai and Chaoda emerged from the black vortex one after the other.

"Whoosh!" Little White stepped out of the black vortex, opened its arms, took a deep breath of fresh air, and then exhaled with delight, "Finally home!"

As she stepped out of the black vortex, she looked up at the familiar sunlight in the living room, and waved with relief, closing the black vortex behind her.

Just a few minutes ago, they were still deep in the sea in Chapter Eight.

A few minutes later, they returned to the garrison headquarters, thousands of miles away, and were embraced by home.

What a night it was... in every sense of the word.

I wonder how things are going with Lady Yamato and the others at the naval base...

I had originally agreed with the Admiral that we would most likely need their strength for tonight's mission, and that they should prepare at the naval base. However, due to various events, one after another, things happened so quickly that the Admiral and I didn't have a chance to open the portal to call Yamato and the others out, which made them wait all night. I really feel guilty about that...

I wonder how Lady Yamato and the others are doing now...

Thinking this, Super Yamato subconsciously raised his head and searched for Deep Sea Yamato's figure in the living room.

then.

Right at this moment.

A familiar sound rang out not far away.

"Wow! Hahahaha! I won this round again!" That's the voice of Yamato Akami.

"Wh-what! There's such a combo? But it's not on the move list..." This was Deep Sea Dragon's shocked and conflicted voice.

"Hmph, hidden combos are one of the most interesting elements in fighting games! Someone like you, who's only been in human society for less than a month, would definitely not understand this!"

"Damn it... let's play another round!"

"Hmph, I'll give it my all no matter how many rounds it is, and there's no way I'll hold back!"

"Who the hell would ask you to go easy on me!"

"..."

Crackling, crackling, crackling...

The sound of rubbing the controller, mixed with the loud and jarring electronic music, rushed into the ears of Super Big and Little White.

Xiaobai and Chaoda turned their heads and looked towards the source of the sound.

A group of Deepsea Deans were sitting in a circle around Tirpitz's game console.

In front of the television, under the watchful eyes of others, Deepsea Yamato and Deepsea Ryujo were rapidly rubbing their controllers together, neither giving an inch. On the television screen, accompanied by various impactful sound effects, the two muscular men were frantically throwing skills at each other, the screen flashing red and white, and electronic music filling the air.

Ok.

The directors of the deep-sea research institute are playing games.

Xiaobai and Chaoda silently watched the Deep Sea Deans in front of them, their gazes gradually shifting to the floor beside them.

On the floor beside the Deep Sea Deans, there were quite a few instant noodle bowls, potato chip bags, and empty Coke bottles. Even Deep Sea Dean Tirpitz was holding a first edition of "Yuru Yuri" and sleeping peacefully in the noisy environment, with his head resting on Deep Sea Bismarck's lap.

Ok.

It seems that while Xiaobai and Chaoda were scheming and maneuvering against the Deep Sea Deans in Chapter 8, the Deep Sea Deans on the naval base were not only playing games, but playing them all night long.

"……"noob.

"..." Super Yamato.

Light footsteps sounded behind Shiro and Chao Yamato.

Little White and Super Big turned around and saw Loki, wearing an apron, walking out of the kitchen carrying a plate of freshly baked cookies.

Loki, who was holding a plate of cookies, saw Little White and stopped in his tracks.

"Is this the Admiral?" Loki, holding a plate, walked calmly to Whitey and Super Yamato, bowed to Whitey, and said, "Welcome back."

"...Loki, what is this...?"

"Yamato just said she wanted some baked cookies, so I made some for them." Loki examined the plate of cookies on Shiro. "Would the Admiral like to try some?"

"Uh...I..."

"I won again!" Just then, Deepsea Yamato's excited shouts rang out behind him. Amidst Deepsea Ryujo's unwilling shouts, Super Yamato, controller in hand, jumped to his feet, his face beaming with a victor's smile. "Hahaha! Easy peasy! An enemy of your caliber, Ryujo, would be nothing more than a Silver rank in our human society! Ah... um, I think I've had enough fun, I'm a little hungry, Loki, Loki—are the cookies not ready yet?"

Yamato put down the controller and turned his gaze toward Loki.

then.

Yamato saw Loki, and Whitey standing next to Loki, looking at him with a strange expression.

“…Ah…” Yamato’s triumphant expression froze. “Little… Shiro?”

"...Yamato-neechan, you guys..." Shiro looked at Abyssal Yamato, her gaze sweeping over the somewhat messy living room and the Abyssal Deans sprawled on the floor, her expression quite subtle. "You guys...you haven't forgotten what you promised me and Super Yamato yesterday, have you..."

"..." Yamato's face turned awkward, and sweat began to bead on his forehead.

"Yamato-neechan?"

“I haven’t forgotten.” Loki, holding a plate of cookies, spoke to Shiro. “Last night, Yamato initially refused when the others suggested playing games, but after Patina and Ryujo provoked her by saying she would definitely lose, she seemed to have her pride touched and, in a fit of extreme anger, turned on the game console and played non-stop until now…”

"Loki! Loki, stop! Don't say it, don't say it, I'll do it myself!" As soon as Yamato heard Loki speak, he quickly stepped forward and waved to the three of them.

Loki closed his mouth and stepped back.

Shiro pursed her lips, a helpless smile playing on her lips as she looked at Yamato Aqua, waiting for his explanation.

Although Yamato had just interrupted Loki's speech, Shiro had already gleaned a pretty good idea of ​​what had happened last night from Loki's few words.

Although the information is still not clear, I suppose that Deep Sea Yamato and the others must have waited for me obediently for a long time last night. When they realized that I hadn't summoned them for a long time, they thought of doing some entertainment to relieve their boredom. However, they forgot about the time while doing so and slowly waited until morning like frogs being boiled in water.

how to say.

Although Xiaobai was indeed startled by the state of the Deep Sea Deans at home, she wasn't too angry. In fact, she felt a sense of relief. After all, she had stood up Deep Sea Dahe and the others last night. If Deep Sea Dahe and the others had actually stayed home obediently until morning, Xiaobai would have felt embarrassed instead.

Shiro is waiting for Yamato's words, not to punish her, but simply to see what kind of cute reaction her Yamato sister will make in this situation.

"Yamato-neechan, do you... need to explain anything else?"

"Uh, I..." Deep Sea Yamato stammered for a moment in front of Shiro.

Regret and embarrassment flashed across Yamato's face.

At last.

A resolute look appeared on Yamato's face.

There was a loud thud.

Deep Sea Yamato quickly bent down and knelt on the floor, performing a very standard dogeza (a deep bowing gesture) in front of the three people in front of him.

"noob!"

"Eh?! Yamato-neechan?"

"I was wrong!!" Yamato shouted desperately, then his forehead slammed hard against the floor with a thud.

Chapter Recommendation: My Sister is SCP-166

I, Aipeng, the Demon Man, ugh, the Son of the Succubus.

I have an amazing younger sister and a scumbag father.

……

Sunday, sunny.

The older girls at the convent were so nice to me today. My little sister is even cuter than yesterday. I've grown another year older, but that jerk of a father still hasn't taken me out to pick up girls. I'll remember this grudge.

To make the world a better place, and to give those tragic anomalies a happy ending, he entered the Exiles Library to learn, joined the Serpent Hand, seized anomalies from the Foundation for his own use, and acquired Prometheus Laboratories...

Of course, this was also to beat up his bastard father.

Chapter 1969 Akashi's Little Shop

As the first rays of morning sunlight spilled into the plaza of the newbie naval base, most of the ship girls were still immersed in their dreams, enjoying the last moments of waking in a state between sleep and wakefulness. A lush, hardworking figure was already moving about in the empty plaza of the naval base.

"Heave-ho, heave-ho meow~"

The short, green figure, carrying a wooden plaque taller than herself, slowly made her way from the dormitory area to a closed shop in the square.

"Arrived, meow!"

The green-clad figure carefully placed the plaque in his arms beside the shop's entrance, then wiped the sweat from his brow, took two steps back, and stood with his hands on his hips, hidden in his long sleeves, looking up at the shop in front of him with his head held high.

Sunlight streamed down.

The golden light shone on the plaque.

On the wooden signboard, the five bright gold characters of "Ming Shi Convenience Store" gleamed.

The sunlight moved downwards.

The photo captured Akashi's satisfied smile.

"I can reopen the shop today, meow!" The ship girl Akashi pulled a key out of her long sleeve, muttering to herself with satisfaction, and walked forward to open the shop door.

Today is the day that Akashi Convenience Store has reopened in its new location.

The new Akashi convenience store is located in a corner of the plaza near the ship girl dormitory area.

Based on Akashi's long-term observation and records, this location is the prime spot with the highest daily traffic of ship girls in the entire naval base, making it an ideal choice for opening a shop.

After a long wait, Akashi finally acquired the plot of land he had been eyeing yesterday.

months ago.

Before Akashi joined the naval base.

On a whim, Xiaobai encouraged the ship girls in the naval base to cultivate their minds and find something to do. So, in response to Xiaobai's policy, many ship girls in the naval base opened their own shops in the plaza with a playful attitude.

Back then, the town square was lined with shops and bustling with activity, resembling a luxurious shopping street.

However, most of the ship girl shops were started with only a short-lived enthusiasm. As time went by, most of the shops in the square closed down one after another due to poor management or waning enthusiasm from the owners. Now, only a dozen or so shops remain open in the once luxurious commercial street.

For example, the shop in front of Akashi.

The shop in front of Akashi is an idol cafe jointly operated by Quincy and Aoba.

In terms of popularity, this cafe is one of the more popular shops in the plaza. However, Quincy and Aoba, the owners, are quite lazy, working only sporadically and showing little commitment to running the business. Anyway, after learning about this, Akashi went to Quincy and Aoba's place overnight. After several days of business discussions, they finally managed to acquire the right to use the shop from them by each paying a full twenty sets of Shiro's candid photos.

"Although it cost a lot of money to acquire Quincy and Aoba's shops, it saved a lot of money on decoration. The furniture is all there, and we can also enjoy the benefits of the foot traffic from the coffee shop we used to frequent. More importantly, we can relocate the original shops to such a prime location, so there's no reason for our turnover to drop. This deal is a huge victory for Akashi!"

Akashi muttered to himself as he dragged a triangular ladder out of the shop.

Akashi used the triangular ladder to hang the signboard at the entrance of the shop, then jumped down the ladder to admire his new shop in the sunlight.

"Yes! Akashi will carry on their will and make this shop the number one convenience store in the naval base, meow!"

Hang up the signboard.

Akashi put away the triangular ladder and went into the shop.

Akashi first took out a feather duster and a rag and carefully cleaned the shop, then arranged all kinds of goods in categories.

After completing the preparations for the opening, Akashi cautiously looked around, and after confirming that no one was approaching her, she slowly opened her ship equipment space.

Yesterday afternoon, Akashi had already arranged for most of the legal goods from his convenience store to be transported to the new store. Today, Akashi's purpose was not only to hang up the newly built store sign, but also to place some of the other "potentially illegal" goods from his convenience store in the new store.

"Running a business isn't something to be taken lightly, meow... Akashi is seriously striving to be number one in sales across the entire naval base, meow..." Akashi muttered to herself, first taking out several small, golden boxes from her ship's equipment space, laboriously carrying the golden boxes into the shop's warehouse, then returning to the tables and chairs inside the shop, sitting down, and carefully taking out several stacks of sealed photo albums and comic books from her ship's equipment space.

The photobook Akashi pulled out had Shiro's image printed on the cover, along with the words "Everyone's Admiral" and Akashi's pink cat paw logo. The comic books next to it were all all-ages versions of Yuru Kantai Collection comics—the version Shiro had chosen.

"As they say, the market determines demand, meow... These are also popular items in the convenience store, meow... But..." Akashi looked at the photobooks and comic books in front of her with a relaxed expression, muttering to herself. Her expression gradually became serious. She reached into her ship equipment space again and pulled out two photobooks and comic books with different covers than before. "...As expected, this month's sales will still depend on these two admirals, meow..."

A shrewd glint flashed in Akashi's eyes.

This time, the comic book that Akashi took out from her ship equipment space was the banned book "Yuru Kantai Collection Special Edition" that was popular in the naval base some time ago. It was filled with all sorts of indescribable plots and scenes. As for the Shiro photo book that she took out with her, it had also changed. Although the cover of this photo book was still Shiro, the shooting angle had changed from a normal angle to a candid angle.

Akashi picked up the photo album and flipped through it casually.

The photos of Shiro in this photobook are all candid shots of Shiro in her daily life. There are photos of Shiro's legs under her skirt, photos of Shiro bending down to pick something up, photos of her body parts exposed when playing with the destroyers, and even photos of Shiro changing clothes.

"Admiral... please don't blame Akashi... Akashi has her reasons, meow..." Akashi hugged the two books to her chest, closed her eyes, and whispered a confession, "It's all because these two books sold so well and received such good reviews, meow. A reprint is a must. Akashi did it all for the good of everyone in the naval base, so I hope the Admiral can forgive Akashi, meow..."

"Huh? Forgive what?" Just then, a familiar voice rang out beside Akashi.

"Of course, I forgive Akashi for doing it secretly..." Akashi replied subconsciously, opening her eyes and habitually looking to her side.
