Elder brother's garrison

Xiao Bai hurriedly scrambled into his bedroom, grabbed his phone, and made a call to Bismarck.

beep-

The call was quickly connected.

"Hello." Bismarck's concise and clear voice came through.

At the same time, Xiaobai could also hear the intense gunfire around her.

"Ah, Bismarck, are you very busy?"

"It's alright, no major problems," Bismarck's calm voice came through. "Is that you, Little White?"

"Yes...it's me."

"what happened?"

“Tirpitz, she…”

“If she doesn’t behave, just unplug the internet cable for a few days and she’ll behave,” Bismarck said.

"Ah, no, that's not it. Tirpitz is going out with me today," Xiaobai said.

“…” Bismarck’s voice disappeared on the other end of the phone.

Only the faint sound of gunfire could be heard.

It seemed quite intense, and Xiaobai couldn't help but worry that it might be causing Bismarck some trouble.

"Did you eat something bad?" Bismarck asked, somewhat puzzled, after a long while.

See? Even Bismarck thought so!

That dried-up girl Tirpitz actually went out?!

Chapter 126 I treated you like a sister, and you actually drew my doujinshi?!

After exchanging information with Bismarck, Xiaobai returned to the living room somewhat dejectedly.

Tirpitz is also a ship girl, and her keen hearing allows her to overhear the conversation between Shiro and Bismarck.

"How rude of you all," Tirpitz said to Little White.

"It's scary that Tirpitz would go out. I accidentally made a phone call to Bismarck," Xiaobai said apologetically.

“Didn’t I come here with you?” Tirpitz said, crossing his legs.

"Ah... I'm so sorry," Xiaobai apologized.

“That’s prejudice,” Tirpitz stated.

“Not on you,” Saratoga interjected.

For Tirpitz, leaving home is a dream come true; she'll never leave home in her life. She loves playing games and eating potato chips at home, with a beautiful older sister serving her and an adorable younger sister-in-law to play games with. Her sister-in-law is rich, gentle, and has a sweet voice. Tirpitz loves being at home.

But the fact that Tirpitz would go out with Xiaobai was truly surprising to Xiaobai, or rather, to everyone.

It seems that even his close friend Saratoga's defection has made Tirpitz reconsider his actions.

"...Hmm..." Tirpitz crossed his arms and pondered, "Do you all think I rarely go out?"

The three people in front of Tirpitz nodded in unison.

Tsk.

Tirpitz felt that his image might have been distorted a little.

“Even I… sometimes, maybe…” Tirpitz explained, but then his confidence faltered, “Maybe… I’ll do it on a whim just once in a while.”

Tirpitz looked at Little White.

Xiaobai turned his head away, unable to bear looking at Tirpitz.

"Never mind, I'm going out tomorrow." Tirpitz gave up thinking. "To the comic convention."

-

The next day, surrounded by their family, Tirpitz and Little White, dressed neatly, stepped out of the house.

After Xiaobai called Muyu to ask for leave, he took Tirpitz and boarded the bus.

Tirpitz went out today wearing her ship uniform, a black leather jacket and tall boots.

Tirpitz required Xiaobai to wear the white military uniform he wore at the naval base.

Their outfits were fairly common in the naval base, but they were still somewhat unusual in human society.

"Tirpitz...won't this attract too much attention?" Xiaobai asked secretly while sitting in the car.

Indeed, quite a few passengers around them were looking at the two of them.

The way they looked at Xiaobai, as if she were some rare creature, made her feel very uncomfortable.

“It’s alright.” Tirpitz calmly looked out the window. “Relax, soon no one will be watching us.”

"Huh?" Xiaobai didn't quite understand what Tirpitz meant.

laugh----

The bus stopped at a station.

Several girls dressed in bizarre and revealing outfits walked up, chatting and laughing.

The people on the bus immediately turned their attention to it.

"Huh?" Xiaobai couldn't help but look over as well.

Those girls had great figures and wore very little clothing. The key point was that their clothes looked like they came straight out of an animated film, making them stand out from the crowd, yet they didn't seem shy at all.

Compared to these girls, Xiaobai and Tirpitz didn't stand out much.

"Tirpitz...who are they?" Little White asked Tirpitz in a low voice.

Tirpitz yawned and glanced at the girls listlessly.

“A cosplayer is someone who dresses up as a character from anime or manga.” After explaining, Tirpitz turned his gaze back to the window.

"Ah..." Xiaobai finally understood.

Oh right, Xiaobai and Tirpitz went to a comic convention, where there are quite a few cosplayers in strange costumes.

This is just on the way; once we get to the convention center, there will be many cosplayers who are even more outrageous than these.

Xiao Bai finally relaxed.

Ah, if that's the case, it's better than being watched by others, right?

Xiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at it this way, it's actually Xiaobai's fault for being too reserved.

-

The bus stopped in front of the comic convention center.

The entire busload of people poured out of the bus as if a faucet had been turned on.

This time, the convention center was located in a large stadium in the center of Yuxiu District.

This stadium has a very large open space, making it one of the most suitable places in Yuxiu to hold comic conventions.

Tirpitz and Little White mingled into the crowd with the group of strangely dressed young ladies from before.

The convention was scheduled for a Tuesday, which should have deterred many people who wanted to come but couldn't, but it was still packed with people.

The overwhelming noise made Xiaobai's ears vibrate.

"There are so many people..." Xiaobai said, grabbing Tirpitz's arm in the crowd.

"Don't underestimate the world of anime and manga," Tirpitz said mysteriously, grabbing Xiaobai's hand and squeezing into the crowd.

Tirpitz is a ship girl with extraordinary strength; she can easily squeeze through a crowd.

"Oh, no queue?" Little White was led inside by Tirpitz, and the people around them looked like they could be crushed into cookies at any moment.

“No need.” Tirpitz quickly led Little White to the entrance.

The girls in the strange costumes from earlier are all here now.

Huh? How did they manage to squeeze through?

“Follow them,” Tirpitz said to Little White.

"what?"

“Remember, we’re cosplayers too.” Tirpitz pointed at Xiaobai with his finger. “We can use the fast track.”

"Huh? Is it that convenient?" Xiaobai was stunned and looked towards the crowd.

Among the long line of people behind, there were still some dressed in cosplay outfits.

"What about them?"

“Those are unregistered,” Tirpitz said.

"We registered?! When?"

“...At the naval base,” Tirpitz said.

"???"

"Ahem." Tirpitz cleared his throat. "Well, we're considered staff."

Are they too?

"Yes, they are professional cosplayers hired by the official organization."

"Us too?!"

"Your cosplay of ship girls and admirals isn't professional enough?" Tirpitz scoffed. "Is there anyone who can cosplay me better than me?"

Xiaobai said she had nothing to say.

Following the seasoned cosplayers, Tirpitz and Xiaobai arrived at the fast track entrance.

The express lane entrance is right next to the regular entrance.

Just two or three people away from her was a long line of people, and Xiaobai could even feel countless envious glances directed at her from that line.

Crackling, crackling, crackling—

Xiaobai heard many, many camera shutter sounds.

"Please show your ID." At the entrance, two young ladies greeted Xiaobai and Tirpitz with very nice smiles.

Just as Xiaobai was about to take out his ID card, Tirpitz stopped him.

Tirpitz pulled out two tickets.

"Please come in, have a good time." The young lady looked at the two tickets and nodded.

Little White and Tirpitz were let in.

"What did you show them just now?" As soon as Xiaobai walked in, she felt the cool air in the room.

"Oh, that? It was given to me by the official organization," Tirpitz said casually. "It's a staff ticket."

"Huh?" Xiaobai felt that Tirpitz was probably hiding a lot from him.

"Tirpitz, is this really your first time going out?" Little White asked.

“Hmm.” Tirpitz shrugged.

"Why do you seem to know this place very well?" Xiaobai asked.

"...The internet is a very powerful thing," Tirpitz muttered mysteriously to himself.

Just then, two men carrying cameras walked towards Xiaobai and Tirpitz.

"Excuse me, ladies, may I take a picture?" one of the men asked, holding a camera.

"I don't care," Tirpitz replied indifferently, shifting his gaze to Little White.

"Since you've received the benefits, as a cosplayer you should let others take a couple of pictures. If you don't want to be photographed, just stand there," Tirpitz whispered to Xiaobai.

Little White held Tirpitz's hand.

Why do I always feel like I've been deeply tricked?
