Elder brother's garrison

Duan Shuiliu was stunned for a moment, then closed his mouth.

"Eh?" As if drawn by some energy, President Er Gou met Duan Shuiliu's gaze, then shuddered and let out a sound that was both fearful and disgusted. He then glared at Duan Shuiliu defiantly, "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a beautiful woman before?"

"..." Duan Shuiliu Er'er San's father IV.

"I'm all dressed up today!" Guild Master Er Gou tugged at his fully-fitting admiral's uniform, puffed out his chest at Duan Shuiliu, and said, "How about it!"

"..." Duan Shuiliu silently looked at President Er Gou, then put down the flag in his hand and took a step in the direction of President Er Gou.

It seems that President Er Gou is genuinely afraid of Duan Shuiliu.

Although President Er Gou looked a little arrogant when he stood up and showed off to Duan Shuiliu, he quickly backed down when Duan Shuiliu took the first step towards him. He grabbed Xiao Bai's arm and took two or three steps back.

Hey! What...what are you doing?!

"..." Duan Shuiliu did not hesitate at all. Amidst the noisy and chaotic beach, Duan Shuiliu stopped in front of President Er Gou, his calm and serious eyes fixed on President Er Gou.

Duan Shuiliu does indeed have a natural "discipline committee member" aura. When Duan Shuiliu stares at him like that, even the self-proclaimed R18 incarnation, President Er Gou, feels a sense of crisis that he might be censored, even though he is dressed properly today.

"You, you... if you come any closer I'll call for help..." President Er Gou stared at Duan Shuiliu, who stood silently in front of him, his voice subtly losing its confidence.

"..." Duan Shuiliu ignored President Er Gou's words as always. She stood in front of President Er Gou for a while, and then raised her hands.

President Er Gou subconsciously took a step back.

Duan Shuiliu followed up promptly and took a step forward.

In the blink of an eye, Duan Shuiliu's hands accurately grabbed Er Gou's collar before he could dodge, and then, under the watchful eyes of Xiaobai and the ship girls, he tightly fastened the collar buttons.

"Mind your attire," Duan Shuiliu said to President Er Gou in a cool and indifferent tone.

"...I'm so angry..." President Er Gou slapped Duan Shuiliu's hand away, his little mouth pouting with resentment.

After straightening R18's collar, Duan Shuiliu turned his attention to Xiaobai, who was standing next to R18.

Under the astonished gaze of President Er Gou, who looked as if he had just tasted dog poop, the meticulous Duan Shuiliu nodded to Xiao Bai and smiled slightly.

"Hello, Sister Duan!" Xiaobai raised her hand to Duan Shuiliu.

"Good afternoon." Duan Shuiliu extended his hand and gave Xiaobai a light high five, seemingly quite familiar with him. "Are you here to go to war?"

"Hmm, Mu Yu just asked me to go to the sea." Xiao Bai glanced at Duan Shuiliu, who was all alone. "Uh... speaking of which, Sister Duan, where are your ship girls?"

"The ship girls at my naval base were sent back by the sea boss a few hours ago and have now returned to the inn to rest."

"……"noob.

"The military police ship girls are taking care of the wounded over there," Duan Shuiliu said, pointing to the crowded beach.

Xiao Bai looked in the direction the stream was pointing.

On the beach, which was filled with ship girls with rapid repair devices on their heads, you could occasionally see a few ship girls dressed in the white uniforms of the military police carrying various supplies and spare parts.

Just as Shiro was watching the ship girls of the military police, Convers, the destroyer who was closest to Shiro in the military police, turned around and looked at Shiro as if she sensed something.

Convers waved to Xiaobai with great surprise. She hesitated for a moment, clutching the resources and supplies in her hand. She seemed to really want to come over and say hello to Xiaobai, but after thinking it over, she smiled apologetically at Xiaobai, raised the resources in her hand to indicate that she couldn't leave, and then reluctantly turned around and ran towards the ship girl with the most damaged ship equipment.

"What are the military police ship girls doing...?"

“Many ship girls and admirals have been affected, and they will be in great need of logistical support if they are on the beach,” Duan Shuiliu replied. “That’s why I’m here to maintain discipline.”

"Oh...? But with so many ship girls resting on the beach... wouldn't it be better to just send them back to the city?"

“The Deep Sea Commander in the sea might change his mind at any time and invade the land. To prevent this from happening, whether it’s the ship girls who have heard the news and come to observe, or the ship girls who have been affected and come ashore to repair, they will be the force that protects the land when the time comes. So it’s best not to rush them to leave.” Duan Shuiliu patiently explained to Xiaobai, “If you want to find Governor Ringo, he’s there.”

After Duan Shuiliu finished speaking, he pointed in another direction.

Following the direction of the water flow, Xiaobai saw that in an area surrounded by ship girls and admirals, Governor Ringo, dressed in a striking bright red outfit, was distributing compressed biscuits to the admirals and ship girls, and occasionally exchanging a few words with the ship girls and admirals around her.

Governor Ringo's beauty is unparalleled among humans that Xiaobai has ever seen, even surpassing most ship girls. Coupled with her position as the superior of the admirals, she has become an idol for both ship girls and admirals. As a result, many admirals, after talking to Governor Ringo, have a satisfied and happy look in their eyes, as if their eyes are sparkling.

“Governor Linqin is in charge of calming the crowd,” Duan Shuiliu explained.

"...The effect is outstanding..." Xiaobai chuckled wryly, then gestured awkwardly to Duan Shuiliu, "Um, but is it alright with Ringo-neechan there...? She has many admirals around her, um, what if she accidentally gets bumped into by some enthusiastic fans and gets taken advantage of..."

"...This...there's nothing to worry about." Duan Shuiliu said something that Xiaobai didn't understand.

"??"noob.

Although Xiaobai didn't understand Duan Shuiliu's words, now was not the time to dwell on such trivial matters. After admiringly glancing at Governor-General Ringo, who was almost surrounded by the panting admirals in the distance, Xiaobai turned his gaze back to Duan Shuiliu.

"Sister Duan, is it convenient for me to go out to sea now?"

“Anytime is fine.” Duan Shuiliu nodded. “You can send your ship girls across the beach to the shore and they can set off immediately. There are deep-sea bosses in the sea. If the goal of the expedition is to defeat the boss, no one will stop you, regardless of their strength.”

"Ah...no, Sister Duan, that's not what I meant..." Amidst the bustling crowd, Xiaobai waved her hand awkwardly at Duan Shuiliu, "That..."

"?" Duan Shuiliu tilted his head.

"Sister Duan... I mean... is it convenient for me to go out to sea now?"

On the sea in Chapter 1184.

Groups of white-clad abyssal deans formed a tightly packed fleet under the sunlight, like a sturdy fortress, protecting the core leader deep within.

Sunlight streamed down through the clouds.

The light shines onto the water's surface.

"Hmm—so idle." A slightly lazy, pleasant female voice, bathed in the warm sunlight, carried a hint of a homebody's charm.

On top of the enormous, dark purple whale, Deep Sea Yamato lay half-reclined on the whale's head, its two long, snow-white legs tucked between a large construction device beside it, yawning with a bored and listless expression.

Yamato glanced at the construction device between his legs.

After capturing all the top-tier ship girls in Chapters 6 and 7 that I could see as advanced training partners, and after a morning of grinding experience, the experience bar for the construction device made an amazing progress. At this point, the construction device had rapidly increased to 90% progress. As long as I squeeze a few more teams of ship girls, I estimate that my unlucky little sister will be completed.

--but.

With a rather helpless expression, Yamato sat up from the blackish-purple whale's head, stood up, and stood on tiptoe to look around at the water.

At a glance.

There was no sign of human habitation on the sea.

"These ship girls always seem to pop up anywhere when they're annoying, but when I want them, they're nowhere to be seen." Deep Sea Yamato muttered resentfully, then took out a bag of potato chips from her ship equipment space and started crunching on them.

"Really... umm... if no more ship girls come to give me experience points... umm... I might just go to the land and find someone to fight... umm... just kidding."

Yamato muttered something, sat back on the black and purple head of the deep-sea whale, and then took out several comics, several game consoles, and various snacks from its ship equipment space.

These items were found in the ship equipment space of the ship girls who were robbed this morning.

Since it would help pass the time, she put it in her ship equipment space.

Yamato hummed a little tune, crossed his legs, and looked at his comic book.

"...Sigh, robbery is really great. You can get all sorts of things without having to work. Speaking of which, I think you've amassed quite a bit of cash. It seems like you have six figures in cash alone. It's a pity I can't use those credit cards..." Deep Sea Yamato muttered under her breath, crossing her legs. "Although it was quite unpleasant to be attacked by those ship girls at first after taking over these subordinates, now it seems like life is pretty good."

Yamato hummed in the deep sea.

He hummed.

He hummed.

……

Deep Sea Yamato closed the comic book and glanced at the sky with a somewhat bewildered expression.

"...Speaking of which...is this really a good idea?"

Yamato turned to the side and glanced at the mountain of snacks, cosmetics, high-end clothing, jewelry, and junk that filled the entire back of the black whale.

"...Although snacks are delicious...and games are fun...," Yamato thought for a moment, "but robbery...isn't that kind of terrible thing to do in human society?"

Was thinking.

The dark purple whale beneath Deep Sea Yamato suddenly opened its mouth and let out a soft roar towards the air.

Yamato turned its head and glanced at the sea.

On the distant sea, a squadron of ship girls, with overwhelming momentum, was rapidly rushing towards this direction amidst the roar of a group of carrier-based aircraft.

Yamato Shinkai narrowed his eyes.

She didn't recognize these ship girls.

Not a newbie naval base ship girl.

"A new sparring partner, huh?" Abyss Yamato snorted, ignoring the ship girls on the surface of the sea. Instead, she lay back on the black whale's back, tracing a circle in the air with her finger. "The enemy will arrive on the battlefield in five seconds. Drain them dry."

Surrounding the black whale, a large number of white deep-sea deans thundered and charged towards the enemy with overwhelming force.

All of a sudden.

The roar of carrier-based aircraft and the sound of gunfire filled the sea area, and the sky was brightened and darkened by the bright gunfire.

Listening to the sounds of battle, Yamato occasionally stretched out his finger to draw in the air, controlling the formation of the white deep-sea deans, but then ignored everything else and continued reading the comic book in his hand.

—It's a bit boring.

Deep Sea Yamato muttered to himself.

The sounds of battle continued for a long time.

Then, amidst the gradually exhausting voices of the ship girls, they disappeared into silence.

Abyssal Yamato glanced at the ship girls.

The ship girls who had come with such overwhelming force to take their heads were now lying unconscious on the water, their ship equipment badly damaged.

The white-clad abyssal deans were kneeling on the water, each picking up the unconscious ship girls, skillfully tidying their instruments, then removing their tattered ship equipment and placing them on the simple, lone boat that had been prepared beforehand.

After seeing off this year's ship girls, the White Abyss Deans collected the useful items that had fallen from the sea and passed them one by one to the back of the black-purple whale.

The ship girls' inventory is actually quite limited.

Most of the items in the ship girls' equipment are related to food and clothing, with very few games and comics. Abyssal Yamato casually rummaged through the loot dropped by this batch of ship girls.

Yamato found a book.

Ship Girl Heroes Tear Apart the Deep Sea Dean

"..." Deep Sea Yamato.

It's unclear why ship girls would have nothing better to do than read such extravagant books.

But sometimes, people's taste is really terrible.

Humans really hate deep-sea amphibious ships...

I had recently come to think that humans are actually quite nice.

Yamato, looking rather uninterested, lay back down on the whale's back.

"...Upon closer reflection..."

"...Life is pretty good now..."

"Who cares if it's bad or not... I'm the Dean of the Deep Sea..."

Yamato sat with his legs crossed and his eyes closed.

"Anyway... I think I'm pretty strong right now..."

"If we went back to human society now, life would be much harder than it is now... We could just sweep up ship girls on the sea, plunder resources, and then we could play games and eat snacks as much as we wanted..."

"Back at the naval base... I'm just a deep-sea creature after all..."

"After all, I am just the deep sea..."

"Why should I support my sister with my own salary... She only shares the same ship name as me, what other relationship do we have?"

"Why would the Dean of the Deep Sea Academy work for something in a construction device whose very existence isn't even known to be his own sister..."

"I am... Dean of the Deep Sea..."

"Maybe... we shouldn't go back at all..."

"...After all, I'm just...from the Deep Sea Institute..."

Yamato murmured in a daze.

“Woo-woo————” Just then, the mechanical whale beneath Deep Sea Yamato cried out again.
