Elder brother's garrison

"...Are you really happy being with him?"

"Mmm!" Baltimore nodded heavily, thinking about the days he spent making erotic books with Luo Lian and the ship girls.

It was truly a happy time. Everyone was working towards the same goal: to see the best adult novels. Baltimore had never experienced such fulfilling and happy days.

"Sigh—never mind." The admiral sat wearily in his chair, looking at Baltimore. "So... what will you do now?"

"...I've already gotten what I wanted." Baltimore's eyes dimmed after hearing the admiral's words.

I've already gotten my hands on the first volume of the Yuru Kantai Collection doujinshi, and I doubt I'll be drawing the second volume anytime soon, which is a bit of a shame.

"After all, I'm not a ship girl from their naval base, so we have to part ways..." Baltimore lowered her head, looking at the comic book on her chest, and said with a touch of happiness, "But I will cherish our achievements. If there is a future, I want to find them again and get a second and a third..."

The admiral was taken aback, his eyes gradually becoming vacant: "Baltimore, what did you say? He didn't ask you to stay?"

"No, I wouldn't dare disturb their lives..."

"..." The admiral's eyes shifted from astonishment to grief, then instantly to confusion, and finally, to raging fury.

He gritted his teeth as if he wanted to crush them to pieces, clenched his fists tightly, and stared at Baltimore.

—What a scumbag! What a scumbag!

You stole Baltimore's heart, and you stole her body, which was mutual, but you can't even shoulder the responsibilities of a man! You fucking bastard!

I look down on you!!!

I swear I'll never forgive you!

Chapter 535 Rodney's Turn (Part 1)

"Where is Baltimore?" The admiral suppressed his anger and asked Baltimore.

"Huh?" Baltimore was taken aback, not expecting his admiral to ask him such a question.

"Uh...who is it?"

"It's the admiral you've been looking for."

“Oh, I found her in the alley, Admiral. Are you here to see her?” Baltimore asked curiously. “Their location is quite obvious. Just go in and walk to the sixth courtyard.”

"Yes, of course I'll see you." The admiral took a deep breath and turned to look at Yamashiro.

Yamashiro understood the admiral's thoughts and nodded in agreement.

After exchanging glances with Yamashiro, the admiral walked to his desk, solemnly put his snow-white hat on his head, straightened his collar, and then anger shot into his pupils.

"I'll take him down with me!!" After shouting this, the admiral leaped out of the admiral's office, his momentum surging with boundless rage as he ran towards the alleyway pointed to by Baltimore.

"Eh? Admiral! Admiral!!" Baltimore never expected that the admiral, who was quite normal just a second ago, would become so angry the next second. He rushed over as if he were facing an enemy who had killed his father and stolen his wife, almost as if he had a kitchen knife in his hand.

What's going on?

What happened?

Just as Baltimore reached out to chase after the admiral, Yamashiro gently embraced her from behind.

"Baltimore, be good, don't move." Yamashiro stroked Baltimore's head tenderly, speaking with sympathy and gentleness. "It's okay if you've been bullied. The naval base and the admiral will always be your support. Even if our naval base isn't very powerful, the admiral truly cares about you. If anyone bullies you, treats you unfairly, or takes advantage of your innocence, whether it's me or the admiral, we will help you get revenge."

The mountain city's embrace is warm and reliable, which made Baltimore feel at ease without even realizing it.

No wonder the admiral likes to visit Yamashiro when he's feeling down...

Wait, wait a minute, was he bullied? Was his innocence taken advantage of?

Baltimore became puzzled.

Are they talking about me?

"That mountain city sister? I wasn't bullied..."

“You’re too young to understand what kind of treatment you’ve received. It’s okay, your older sister and the admiral will help you. We swear we’ll beat the admiral who bullied you to a pulp,” Yamashiro said resolutely.

"???" Baltimore looked shocked and at a loss.

Baltimore felt that all he had done lately was work with the comic book group and tinker with some notebooks; he really hadn't done anything else.

No, although it is indeed wrong in a strict sense, do you really need to be so angry, Admiral?

—Oh my god, I think I heard Sister Shancheng say that her admiral is going to go and beat up the newbie admiral?

It's over. It's over.

That's no match for a hammer.

Baltimore's face immediately turned more grim than if he were crying.

That's the world's number one admiral! Our naval base may have some reputation, but it's nothing compared to the world's number one naval base. If we go up there and cause trouble, and her ship girls slap us across the face, our admiral will be finished.

"Sister Yamashiro! Let's go find the Admiral!!" Baltimore panicked at the thought. She quickly pulled Yamashiro up from behind, and the two of them ran wildly towards the alley.

Little White was sitting in his yard, quietly watching Rodney and Nelson chat in front of him.

"Sister, sister, when will Senior Number Seven be back?" Rodney asked Nelson, clenching his fists and placing them in front of his chest.

“I don’t know. Maybe tomorrow,” Nelson said. “Or maybe next week, or even this afternoon. The ship girls are quite busy, and they might not have time.”

"Hmm? Aren't all the people at the naval base pretty free?" Rodney asked curiously.

“That’s because there are a lot of us, but only so much work. If we divide it up, it’s not much on average,” Nelson said to Rodney.

"Oh...I see. You're amazing, sister." Rodney smiled at Nelson.

"Don't you see who I am?"

"Who is the older sister?"

“It’s your sister.” Nelson turned his head away with a cool air.

"Wow!" Rodney clapped his hands happily.

In Rodney's eyes, Nelson was always so charming, handsome, and dashing.

"Sister, sister! I want to see you perform that again!"

“…The admiral is here, I’ll go back and give you a performance.” Nelson’s face turned red, which was uncharacteristically.

"It's good that the Admiral is here!" Rodney said, her big blue eyes fixed on Xiaobai. She snuggled up to Xiaobai, took his arm, and stood up. "Admiral, Admiral, do you want to see my performance?"

"A performance?" Little White asked curiously as Rodney helped him to his feet.

Rodney is the first ship girl to take the initiative to contact Shiro in the past few days, and Shiro is a little touched.

“Oh, cough cough.” Rodney said in a rough voice, trying to sound profound, “England expects every citizen to fulfill their duties…”

"Stop!" Nelson quickly waved his hand, interrupting Rodney.

"Hmm... It's a pity I can't imitate your coolness, sister. Hehe, you'll have to do it yourself." Rodney stuck out his tongue and laughed at Nelson.

Nelson looked helplessly at Rodney, and finally at Little White.

"I'm sorry, Admiral, my sister has caused you trouble."

"It's okay, I'm curious too." Xiaobai smiled at Nelson. "Can I take a look?"

“It’s possible… but it’s really just a flag signal, and it’s a bit embarrassing to repeat it over and over…” Nelson shook her head, then stood up from the stool. She straightened her back, pulled a cane from her ship’s rigging, and gently planted it in the ground. “England is looking forward to it…”

"boom!"

Before Nelson could finish speaking, the courtyard gate was kicked open by someone.

A male admiral dressed in white jumped in, breathing heavily, and looked at the three girls standing in the courtyard.

"I...I!I!" The male admiral gasped for breath.

“Me?” Rodney tilted his head.

"I came here...I came here...cough cough cough cough cough..." The man didn't finish his sentence. It seemed that the long run had exhausted his energy. He only managed to say a few words before he coughed violently and knelt on the ground, retching in a very disheveled state.

Little White, Rodney, and Nelson watched as the male admiral knelt on the ground, retching.

"Um... excuse me..." Xiaobai walked up to the male admiral and asked curiously, "Are you here to find someone?"

"Cough cough cough..."

"..." Xiaobai raised her head and looked at Rodney. "Rodney, could you get him a glass of water?"

“No problem, I have a half-empty bottle of mineral water here.” Rodney took out a half-empty bottle of mineral water from his ship equipment, unscrewed it, and handed it to Xiaobai.

Nelson snatched Rodney's water bottle with a snap, then pulled a brand new, unopened bottle from his ship's rigging and handed it to Rodney: "Use this."

"Thank you, sister!" Rodney thought to himself that his sister was indeed omnipotent, so he unscrewed the new bottle of mineral water and handed it to Little White.

Xiao Bai handed the bottled water to the admiral who was kneeling on the ground.

"Cough cough...cough cough...th-thank you..." The admiral took the bottle of mineral water, nodded gratefully to Little White, and then gulped down several mouthfuls before catching his breath. "Ah...I'm back to life."

"Is everything alright?" Xiaobai asked.

"Thank you, beautiful ship girl, I'm much better now." The admiral smiled at Shiro, then his expression immediately darkened. "Where's your admiral?"

"Admiral?" Xiao Bai was taken aback. "Uh... I just..."

"What business do you have with our admiral?" Before Xiaobai could finish speaking, Nelson gestured for Xiaobai not to reveal his identity. She stood in front of Xiaobai and asked the man in front of her.

"A duel." The man's breathing was still heavy, but at least he could speak normally now. He stood up, looked at Nelson, and his eyes flashed with resolute anger. "I've come for a duel!"

“…You’ve come to the wrong set,” Nelson asked.

"No, it's the sixth house after you cross the alley, that's it! Baltimore won't lie to me."

“…Baltimore.” Nelson pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up. “Oh, it’s her.”

Speaking of which, Instructor Seven's ship name seems to be Baltimore. I used to call her Seven Seven, and I almost forgot her ship name.

"It really is here, isn't it!" The man said, heartbroken, as he looked at Nelson, who seemed to have realized something.

"...I just saw her. What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

"I'm here to seek justice for her!" Clear tears streamed down the man's face. "Summon your admiral! I want to duel him!"

“A duel…” Nelson’s expression became meaningful, “...to seek justice?”

"Your admiral took advantage of her body! He took advantage of her innocence and then refused to take responsibility. I will never forgive him!"

Nelson and Rodney looked at Little White in shock.

Little White was also shocked and quickly shook his head, waving his two little hands rapidly.

"I never expected the Admiral to be this kind of person..." Rodney covered his mouth, looking at Xiaobai in astonishment. "If you needed anything, you could have just asked me..."

"No! No! No!" Xiaobai was so angry that tears were about to come out.

What's going on? Xiaobai said that these past few days, let alone harming ship girls, there isn't even a ship girl who dares to talk to him. He doesn't even have the conditions to commit the crime, let alone the motive. (5)(1) Qi Ba Ba Qi Liu Yi Ah.

bully!

“The admiral has been with us these past few days, he hasn’t had time to cause trouble for the ship girls in other naval bases.” Nelson was the calmest at this moment, shaking her head as she spoke to Rodney.

"Oh...Is that so? I'm so sorry, I misunderstood the Admiral." Rodney apologized to Little White.

Chapter 536 Rodney's Turn (Part 2)

Xiao Bai nodded with tears in her eyes.

“As I just said, our admiral doesn’t have the means to harm Baltimore, so I think you’ve come to the wrong person.” After explaining to Rodney, Nelson turned to the male admiral and calmly said, “Why don’t you go back and ask Baltimore again?”

"Impossible!" the admiral cried out to Nelson in anguish. "Baltimore told me herself! She said she and your admiral have already gotten married!"

In the empty courtyard, the male admiral's voice spread out instantly.

Rodney and Nelson stared blankly at the male admiral, both showing varying degrees of shock on their faces.

"Huh?!" Xiaobai's face turned pale instantly.

"Blooming...bearing fruit?" Rodney covered his mouth, staring at the male admiral in shock. "Um...excuse me...admiral, what you mean by 'blooming and bearing fruit'..."

The male admiral didn't speak, only wept. But his expression told Rodney everything.

The admiral harbored deep resentment.

Baltimore is such a wonderful girl. It's one thing that your admiral stole her away, and another that he got to do whatever he wanted with her... well, that's fine too. But what do you mean by taking advantage of her and then dumping her?

Do you think the ship girls are just playing around with you?!

You scumbag! You scumbag! I'll risk my life to take you down with me and avenge my Baltimore!
