Elder brother's garrison

Cleveland fell silent.

"Hmm, speaking of which, Cleveland, do you know? There's something very valuable on deep-sea supply ships. If you take this and accumulate a certain amount, you can exchange it for a lot of good stuff."

"Huh?" Cleveland was taken aback.

“Well, so rather than killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, I recommend a long-term free-range policy,” Lexington said to Cleveland with a smile. “Releasing animals isn’t a crime if no one finds out.”

Chapter 327 Not the Third Concubine, But the First Wife

Lexington's words seemed to have a magical power, full of persuasiveness, and with just a few words, he made Cleveland, who had just made up his mind, waver.

“Then…then…” Cleveland looked around in a panic.

This is also a kind of psychological trauma. Last time, it was exposed because someone saw him, so this time Cleveland is particularly careful about his surroundings.

"So, Cleveland, do you agree?" Lexington asked.

"I……"

"These things can be exchanged for a lot of excellent equipment, even better than what I brought you from the naval base. Your little admiral needs these things, doesn't he..."

“Okay!” Cleveland became resolute when Nia was mentioned, and she nodded heavily to Lexington.

With Cleveland's permission, Lexington crouched down next to the deep-sea supply ship on the ground.

Cleveland, who had given up and resigned himself to his fate, also looked at the deep-sea supply ship with some curiosity.

Is there anything worth collecting on a deep-sea replenishment ship?

Cleveland frowned with curiosity as he looked at the little girl lying unconscious on the ground.

It couldn't be something cruel like internal organs, heart, or bones, could it? That would be too much; it would be better to just kill her. But then he thought about the treatment his admiral deserved, and Cleveland suppressed his pity.

Lexington skillfully reached her hands towards the deep-sea supply ship on the ground, then swiftly slid them across her still-developing body.

Lexington lifted one leg of the deep-sea supply ship with one hand, and then took an indescribable object from the ship's waist along that leg.

It was an indescribable, eerie object. Its appearance was beyond description; it could only be described as two strange triangular pieces of cloth connected together, with thin lines of varying sizes wrapped around the connection point. Beneath its black surface, which seemed to suck in souls, a deep-sea resentment slowly brewed, accompanied by the body temperature of the deep-sea supply ship. As Lexington profaned it, in a strange, ritualistic manner, it was removed from the body of the deep-sea supply ship. Cleveland felt this object growing larger and larger in his field of vision, constantly approaching him.

This...this...this...could this be...?

“Here you are, Cleveland.” Lexington handed the bloated object in his hand to Cleveland.

"This is……"

"Pants."

Panties...

Damn...

Yeah...

Cleveland felt incredibly dizzy.

"Is this the thing that can... change equipment?" Cleveland asked.

"Yes, but you'd probably need dozens of them to get one good piece of equipment."

"Why would anyone trade fat, fat, and underwear for equipment?!" Cleveland was furious.

They say a scholar can be killed but not humiliated. If it were truly a matter of being completely honest and open, that would be one thing, but what kind of hero strips a little girl's panties?! You guys are perverts! You really are perverts!

"Hmm? That's certainly possible." Lexington held up her index finger, picked up the panties, and twirled them around. "You might not know, but this stuff is quite famous in our High Seas. Ah, speaking of which, if you've collected enough of these, you can mail them to us, and we'll help you redeem them. After all, Cleveland hasn't opened a dedicated shop yet."

"Don't spin that!" Cleveland covered his eyes.

The fact that such a gentle, kind, dignified, and elegant older sister was twirling the panties of a deep-sea supply ship was a huge shock to Cleveland.

“Ah, don’t feel guilty. This is just how it is after peeling so many panties. Just think of it as one of the top ten pieces of gold equipment.” Lexington said, stopping her spinning fingers. She grabbed the panties and handed them to Cleveland.

As he felt the warm object in his hands, Cleveland's hands trembled uncontrollably.

"Well, we've already got the deep-sea metal, so this one is for Cleveland," Lexington said with a smile to Cleveland. "Now let's deal with this child."

Lexington said, pointing to the supply ship on the ground.

"The clothing on the supply ship is also a type of ship equipment, so it will be quickly repaired by the deep-sea resentment after being put back into the sea." Lexington said as he picked up the supply ship from the ground, then walked to the edge of the whale's head and looked down at the sea.

"Just throw it back into the sea." With that, Lexington gently tossed the stunned supply ship back into the ocean.

Lexington watched as the supply ship crashed into the water with a splash and sank deeper into the water. He clapped his hands and turned around.

Cleveland was still staring blankly at the panties in his hands.

"Want to wear it?" Rome asked quietly, noticing the somewhat somber atmosphere.

"No way!" Cleveland blushed at Roma's words, coughed, put the panties in her hand into her ship equipment space, and then sighed.

From this day forward, Cleveland can no longer claim to be clean and honest.

She has completely turned into a rogue ship girl.

Thinking this, Cleveland lowered his head, somewhat dejected.

Lexington and Veneto smiled as they watched Cleveland's somewhat dejected figure disappear into the distance.

“A wicked sense of humor,” Veneto said softly to Lexington with a smile.

“Third Auntie isn’t the first to say that,” Lexington said, putting a finger to her lips and smiling at Veneto.

A supply ship is just a supply ship, the rarest and weakest type of ship in the deep sea. Where can you find anything to exchange for equipment?

What Lexington just said was all nonsense.

The idea of ​​panties is utter nonsense. There's no one in the world who would be a pervert who would trade those things for equipment, unless they're completely out of their mind.

Lexington did this for one reason only: to help Cleveland resolve its inner conflict.

As for why they had to talk about panties, it must be because of Lexington's perverse sense of humor, as Veneto mentioned.

After all, her sister is Saratoga. Although the sisters differ greatly in their performance styles, they still have things in common.

Veneto patted Cleveland on the back: "Get ready to go back."

Veneto, of course, would not expose Lexington's lie.

Let this matter continue to deceive Cleveland. Perhaps in a few years, Cleveland will gradually realize the truth of the matter. However, by then, such a deep-seated resentment will have long since been washed away by time and can be laughed off.

Of course, neither Veneto nor Lexington anticipated this at the moment.

Just a few years later, Cleveland truly became a demon that deep-sea supply ships feared. It was known in the underworld as the Panty Raider, the king of deep-sea supply ships, and the panties it ripped off could circle the Pacific Ocean.

But that’s all for another day.

A group of ship girls jumped off the mechanical whale and returned to the surface of the sea.

"What are you going to do?" Veneto asked Lexington once they were back on the sea.

Lexington and her entourage had come illegally and were not suited to return to a place with such a large population. Moreover, the appearance of six aircraft carriers together was a rare occurrence even in high seas, let alone in low seas. If they were allowed to land like this, the governor might send Lexington a lawyer's letter the next day.

"Find Little White!" Saratoga raised her hand, jumping around on the sea, looking very excited.

"Oh, hehehe." Lexington stroked her face and looked at Saratoga. "Gaga likes Little White so much? Doesn't your older sister like him too?"

"Eek!" Saratoga took a step back.

“We’re going back, you know. We can’t cause trouble for the Admiral, right?” Lexington said with a smile as she looked at Saratoga. “Oh, right, it’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s just that if, if I find out again that Saratoga didn’t come back to the naval base with us and instead ran away, you know what the consequences will be, right?”

When Saratoga heard Lexington's gentle tone, it was as if she had heard a death knell. She took several steps back and then suddenly threw herself into Essex's arms.

Essex reached out and patted Saratoga's head.

She didn't speak, but the eagle on her shoulder cackled: "Ha ha, Mrs. Leigh, Saratoga is your sister too, don't scare her like that!"

The ship girls aren't too surprised that the eagle can talk. This eagle belongs to Essex's ship equipment, so it's okay for it to understand human speech.

“No, not at all, Bell McCann, this is just a friendly chat between sisters,” Lexington said to the eagle.

"Haha—" The eagle didn't say much about it, just chuckled.

“Yes, that’s it. Veneto, I’m leaving things on the beach to you. The first stage of training should be almost over, right?” Lexington turned to Veneto and said.

"Yeah, we'll just play a few rounds and then it'll be over."

"Then we'll meet at the naval base."

Veneto raised his hand and waved.

Lexington was about to wave, but then she noticed that Veneto's hands were sparkling with sunlight reflecting off them.

Lexington narrowed his eyes.

That's a ring.

Lexington's eyes narrowed instantly.

"Veneto, in your hand?"

"Huh?" Veneto only then noticed that Lexington had been glancing at his fingers.

"Oh, this is the Oath Ring."

The vow.

The Promise

Ring.

Quit...

……

The eyes of the six ship girls and the eagle instantly sharpened, staring intently at Veneto's fingers.

"Oh?"

The aura of the six world-class super ship girls erupted like six volcanoes.

Rome, Cleveland, and even the unconscious Glory almost collapsed onto the water.

Even the companies turned their backs, acting as if they hadn't seen anything and knew nothing.

Only Veneto stood tall, looking directly at the ship girls in front of her.

Chapter 328 The Returning Ship Girls

"Oh ho?" Lexington looked at the Oath Ring on Veneto's hand with interest. "That's fast."

Veneto also raised his hand and glanced at the ring on his hand.

Lexington kept smiling.

She really didn't know that Veneto had become Xiaobai's wedding ship in just half a month.

Lexington looked at Veneto's indifferent expression and felt an unusually complicated feeling.

Lexington originally thought that Veneto was a ship girl who longed for a peaceful life, unlike the other ship girls in the naval base who were like wolves and tigers. She thought that Veneto could protect Shiro without causing any trouble, so she felt at ease entrusting Shiro to Veneto.

But I never expected it. I never imagined that Veneto, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, would betray the revolution.

Lexington could laugh off the fact that she became the third concubine the moment she returned to the garrison, but she couldn't afford to underestimate the fact that she had gotten a wedding ring after only half a month of going out with Xiaobai.

"When did you receive it?" Lexington asked with a smile.

“It was a gift for me when I was shopping a few days ago, it doesn’t have any special meaning,” Veneto said.

"Oh ho—" Lexington wasn't going to believe Veneto's nonsense. "Who else?"

"I bought one for Fubuki too."

"Well, Fubuki is a child after all, so buying her one as a little toy is not a bad idea."

“That makes sense, then there’s no one else,” Veneto said.

"Oh, I see." Lexington nodded, maintaining her smile and remaining silent for a moment.

Standing to the side, Rome could clearly feel that as her sister's ring was exposed (although she had no intention of hiding it at all), the atmosphere suddenly became very tense.

Recalling the incredible combat power of those aircraft carriers, Rome now has goosebumps.

"Aren't you going back yet?" Veneto broke the silence first, asking with some curiosity.

“That makes sense.” Lexington nodded and turned to look at Saratoga.

Saratoga was also unusually excited when she saw the ring on Veneto's finger, and even wanted to rush over, but Essex and Taihou held her down and she couldn't move, so she could only stare at them with a wronged look on her face.

“Essex.” Lexington’s gaze lingered on Saratoga for a moment before shifting to Essex.
