Elder brother's garrison

She wants to change jobs.

Yes, the admiral is quite certain that she wants to switch jobs.

More importantly, she also wanted me to help her find a job to switch to.

It's understandable, after all, they are all admirals, and the social circles between admirals are quite large. If you want to find other admirals, it's more direct and faster to be an admiral yourself.

But have you ever seen such a heartless ship girl?

But could the admiral refuse her? He wanted to refuse, but when he met the ship girl's pitiful and helpless eyes, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

He agreed.

Then time slowly passed to the present.

Now that the deep-sea event has been underway for four days, this defeated male admiral looked at the blank paper on his desk and sighed.

A complete and utter defeat.

I shouldn't have let her leave the naval base years ago.

The admiral had already begun to wallow in self-pity.

"Admiral." Just then, the door to the admiral's office was pushed open, and a red-haired ship girl walked in. "Excuse me."

"Well, Baltimore, good morning." The admiral gave Baltimore a smile that was hard to describe as either ugly or handsome.

"Admiral, is there any news?"

"Not yet, Baltimore, how about you wait a little longer?"

"..." Baltimore looked sad.

Looking at Baltimore's expression, the admiral felt a sharp pain in his heart.

In reality, the admiral didn't fail to find him; he simply didn't bother to look for him. He was afraid. He feared that if he were to search for the admiral Baltimore had mentioned, he would easily find his target, thereby causing Baltimore to switch sides and leave him.

—The admiral felt quite despicable, and would curse himself a few times when he was alone and had nothing to do.

Baltimore gave a soft "hmm," then nodded, looked at his admiral, hesitated for a moment, and finally said "thank you" in a low voice, then left after acknowledging the disturbance.

The admiral watched Baltimore leave the admiral's office, then grabbed his hair with both hands and went berserk.

Baltimore hasn't been used in the naval base for a long time. In fact, as a ship girl, Baltimore has always been relegated to the sidelines in this naval base.

Even after participating in the Autumn Deep Sea event, it was the same. One by one, the ship girl sisters from the naval base went out, but she was the only one left behind.

In fact, if Baltimore hadn't insisted, the admiral wouldn't have taken him out with him.

Baltimore walked out onto the street, looking somewhat lonely.

Baltimore misses that admiral from the comic book so much.

So cute, so innocent and kind, if it were her, she would definitely treat herself well. Baltimore thought to herself, and sighed.

But if even the admiral can't find someone, how can I possibly find them myself?

Baltimore felt a little disappointed, then found a quiet place to sit down.

She pulled out a copy of "Rolling Ship Girls" and, with a touch of fantasy, quietly began to read it.

"Ring ring." The door behind Baltimore was pushed open.

"Admiral."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Next time, let's just buy our own printer or something. That older sister was giving me such a weird look."

"……I will think about it."

A ship girl dressed in red, carrying stacks of comic books, walked out of the printing shop behind Baltimore with a young female admiral.

Chapter 530, Number Thirty-Two

Encountering people on the street is a fairly simple and common occurrence. After all, in today's man-made cities, with people coming and going in such a lively atmosphere, it would be strange not to run into someone.

Baltimore didn't seem to mind the master and servant emerging from the printing shop behind him, and continued to sit quietly on the steps, watching the swaying ship girl in his hand.

"How much is the printer?" Warspite asked Luo Lian.

"It's a little over three thousand yuan. With some other things added, it probably won't exceed ten thousand yuan in total."

"Ten thousand dollars..." Warspite pondered for a while.

Based on his understanding of his own position as admiral, he could probably earn 10,000 coins very quickly.

"It's okay, it's not expensive." Luo Lian thought for a moment and said to Warspite, "Let's go buy it after we put these back in the yard."

"Oh? So fast? You can buy it after the event ends and you go back to the naval base."

"Let's do it now. You're right, Warspite. There's still a lot of room for improvement. We'll probably need to use the printer many times." Luo Lian held the notebook in her hand and gently patted its cover.

“Many times…” Warspite’s face suddenly turned bitter.

While not to the point of being obsessed with this little notebook like a newbie naval base, Warspite did have to admit its high quality after reading it.

Although Luo Lian repeatedly said that this part was not good, that part was not good, and that part needed to be changed, Yan Zhan still felt that even at its current level, the quality of this little book was enough to crush many comics on the market.

—If someone were actually selling this little notebook, even if Warspite wasn't particularly interested in H, he would still buy one out of a desire to collect an art piece.

“It’s already very good,” Warspite reminded her.

"That's not enough." Luo Lian indicated that she was indeed very strict.

Since Luo Lian has brought this up, what can Yan Zhan say? She's the second most important figure in the comic book group, while he's just the thirty-first nobody. He'll just do whatever she says.

Warspite, clutching the comic book in her arms, slowly shuffled down the steps.

"Excuse me, could you please move aside? Thank you, thank you." Warspite asked the red-haired ship girl sitting on the steps, then slowly walked to the ground.

Just then, Warspite noticed that the red-haired ship girl sitting on the steps was also reading a comic book.

Out of curiosity, Warspite glanced at the comic book in the red-haired ship girl's hand.

"Huh?" Warspite was taken aback.

She noticed that the comic book in the hands of the ship girl sitting on the steps also contained the character Shiro.

"What's wrong?" Luo Lian asked curiously, looking at Yan Zhan's surprised expression.

"Admiral, the characters in her comic book are the same as ours," Warspite said to Luo Lian in a low voice.

"Oh, that's a swaying ship girl."

"Huh? Aren't we the same?"

“That’s the original.” Luo Lian nodded and lightly glanced at the comic book in the red-haired ship girl’s hand. “Ours is R18.”

"Ah, so this comic has an official version." Warspite suddenly realized.

"It was quite popular before," Luo Lian explained, then, realizing her statement was inaccurate, added, "It's still very popular now."

"I don't know." Warspite looked at Luo Lian apologetically.

"Well, it's normal that you don't know these things since you just stepped out of the construction device. Let's go back to the naval base first."

"okay."

War-weary and Luo Lian left together, squeezing into the crowd and slowly disappearing.

After a long while, Baltimore, who was sitting on the steps, snapped his comic book shut and looked in the direction Luo Lian had left.

—The swaying ship girl of R18?

Baltimore fell into deep thought.

Baltimore really likes the admiral in Ship Girls and also loves this manga. Unfortunately, the illustrator seems to be quite inactive lately. After releasing one volume, the manga has basically stopped serializing. The magazine's initial message was that the illustrator had important matters to attend to and couldn't work on the manuscript, so there would be a short break.

So, without any new updates, Baltimore could only read this single volume over and over again until she almost memorized it.

To put it another way, Baltimore is a bit short of supplies.

However, the two people who just passed by said they had an R18 version of the ship girl.

Hmm—is it a fan fiction?

Baltimore recalled a fleeting glimpse of the comic book cover.

The artwork is incredibly detailed and faithful to the source material. Baltimore even felt that the little notebook was actually created by the artist who drew the ship girl series.

So Baltimore was somewhat of an interest.

In fact, due to the immense popularity of Yuru Kantai Collection, there are quite a few Yuru Kantai Collection fan-made books on the market and some online websites, all containing obscene content. However, perhaps because the original Yuru Kantai Collection has only been around for a few months, the time is too short, and there aren't many high-quality fan-made books. Most of them are still stories that make Baltimore feel nauseous... Anyway, since those ship girls have printed Yuru Kantai Collection fan-made books, Baltimore still feels that she should take a look.

"They must have headed towards the alley..." Baltimore stood up from the steps, carefully put the comic book into her ship's equipment, and then headed towards Luo Lian and Warspite.

Luo Lian and Yan Zhan walked away for a while. The surrounding crowd was dense, and once they left, they disappeared like fish diving into water. Fortunately, their features were distinctive and they were easy to spot, so Baltimore quickly spotted them.

Under Baltimore's watchful gaze, Warspite and Luo Lian arrived at the alley entrance and slowly squeezed in.

Baltimore looked up and gazed down into the alley.

This alley is quite famous; I heard a very important admiral lives there now. Baltimore shook his head. Those high and mighty people have nothing to do with him; now is not the time to think about such things.

She didn't know why she acted like a thief, waiting until Yan Zhan and Luo Lian disappeared into the alley before hesitantly following them.

The main streets were crowded, but the alleyways were deserted. Baltimore could keep up with Luo Lian and Yan Zhan by listening to their footsteps.

After walking for a while, the footsteps of Warspite and Luo Lian gradually stopped.

Baltimore quickened her pace and walked towards where the two women had stopped.

A large door appeared before Baltimore.

"Is this the place?" Baltimore breathed softly, her heart starting to pound for some reason. She swallowed hard and slowly walked towards the door.

"Whoa!" Warspite suddenly appeared behind Baltimore, patting her shoulders with both hands. "Aaaaaaah!" Baltimore, who was on edge, was startled by Warspite and screamed like a virtuous woman being assaulted.

She staggered a few steps, leaned against the door, her chest heaving, and looked at Warspite with lingering fear in her eyes.

"Were you scared?" Warspite asked Baltimore with a smile.

"Ah...you...you..."

"We noticed you were following us a while ago." Warspite revealed a mysterious smile. "You're the one in front of the printing shop, aren't you?"

“Uh…” Baltimore lowered his head awkwardly.

Since Baltimore, being a ship girl, could find Warspite, Warspite, also being a ship girl, could naturally sense Baltimore as well. Therefore, it was impossible to hide the fact that Baltimore was tracking Warspite.

"Uh... I didn't mean to follow you..."

"It's okay, anyway, it was my admiral who found you. She said you're not a bad person, so don't worry about it."

"???" Baltimore looked at Warspite in surprise.

Was it Warspite, not the admiral next to her, who discovered her whereabouts?

"So what are you doing following us?" Warspite withdrew his hands from the air and asked Baltimore in a friendly manner.

"Uh...I..."

"what?"

"Ahem, you're after the notebook, aren't you?"

"..." Baltimore nodded, blushing. "Um, do you sell your comics?"

Warspite shrugged, revealing an "I knew it" expression: "Those comics are not for sale. Hey, why are you making that face? Oh, don't cry, I haven't finished speaking yet."

War-weary quickly comforted Baltimore, whose eyes were brimming with tears.

"This comic is a collaboration between my admiral and the ship girls from the neighboring naval base. It's not finished yet, and we don't plan to sell it for money," Warspite said, pausing for a moment. "But our admiral said you can come in and have a chat."

"Let's talk?" Baltimore was taken aback.

"Hmm." Warspite said this, then turned to the side, revealing the courtyard behind him.

"...Could you send me a copy?" Baltimore asked tentatively.

"That depends on what our admiral thinks." Warspite yawned, and without giving Baltimore time to react, walked straight into the courtyard.

Without a second thought, Baltimore followed his instincts and quickly caught up with Warspite.

Baltimore and Warspite walked into the yard and then into a room with the door open.

Stacks of notebooks were piled up all around the room. In the center of the room, a human girl with black hair sat on the table, quietly watching Baltimore.
