Elder brother's garrison

"Your technique is great, so I'll reward you by washing my hair."

"Was this supposed to be a reward...?"

There's an old saying: "To send someone to the Buddha, send them all the way to the West."

“There’s an old saying, ‘Greed knows no bounds,’” Xiaobai said, but still slowly stood up, turned off the shower, picked up the shampoo from the side, squeezed a dollop into his palm, and gently pressed it onto Tirpitz’s head, playing with Tirpitz’s hair. “Really… just this once…”

Tirpitz is such a lazy person.

While muttering to herself, Xiaobai rubbed Tirpitz's pink, foamy hair.

"Hmph, hmph, hmph~" Tirpitz closed his eyes, enjoying the way Whitey's fingers went in and out of his hair, and hummed a tune softly.

Xiao Bai quickly recognized that the tune Tirpitz was humming was the theme music from the cute-style game she had played before; the melody was light, cheerful, lively, and grand.

"Hmph, hmph, hmph~" Little White hummed along with Tirpitz, humming the cheerful theme song as he washed Tirpitz's hair.

The bathroom was filled with the light, cheerful voices of two young girls.

The tune Tirpitz hummed started with the part that she remembered most vividly from her game experience. Most people are like that; after humming that part, they remember the rest rather vaguely, and then either stop there or loop back to the same part and continue humming. However, Xiaobai remembered the entire theme music and, after that part ended, he actually led Tirpitz to hum it all over again.

"Hmph hmph hmph... Hmph hmph hmph~ We're done washing!" Little White hummed the whole tune with Tirpitz, then picked up the showerhead and rinsed the foam off Tirpitz's head.

"Well done." Tirpitz nodded, cupping his cheeks as he said, "Then, please take care of the rest of the work."

"No, you can wash the rest yourself." Xiaobai handed the bath towel to Tirpitz, her attitude firm.

"..." Tirpitz took the bath towel from Little White, sighed sadly, and then gently rubbed his chest. "Why do people need to take baths..."

"Didn't you just say it was for a refreshing sense of ritual...? How come you regretted it so quickly?" Xiaobai gave a wry smile, shook her head, stood up and walked towards the door. "Tirpitz, I'm going back to the living room first. Super Yamato is over there too. Come find us after you've finished showering."

"Hmm..." Tirpitz squinted and answered weakly.

Xiao Bai came out of the bathroom, stood at the door, patted his sleeves, and put them down.

“…Little White.” Tirpitz’s voice rang out from the bathroom.

"What is it?" Xiaobai asked, looking down and checking her clothes for foam stains.

"I'm not like that with everyone."

"I know, it's just me and Bismarck, right?" Little White replied with a smile, brushing the dust off his clothes.

"No, actually there's also Eugenio."

"Well, after all, Eugen dotes on you, Tirpitz."

"If someone else bumps into me in the bathroom, I will wait for them to leave on their own. I won't let them come in to scrub my back or wash my hair, and then we can chat."

"I see." Xiaobai blinked.

"……noob."

"Ok?"

Do you need any more wedding ships over there?

Tirpitz's voice drifted out from the bathroom.

Chapter 1925 White Silk and Black Silk

Tirpitz's voice drifted out from the bathroom.

Xiaobai, who was standing at the bathroom door, paused. She looked up blankly and stared into the bathroom with a bewildered expression.

"Huh?" Little White stared blankly at Tirpitz in the bathroom. "Tirpitz, what did you just say?"

"I was just saying, do you still need a wedding ship?" Tirpitz asked calmly, looking at Little White outside the door.

"Uh……"

Xiaobai stood there, stunned, and spent several seconds trying to figure out if there had been something wrong with her ears.

Xiao Bai looked at Tirpitz's face and was caught off guard.

Xiao Bai never expected that Tirpitz would ask him such a question.

—Tirpitz, she wants to be her own wedding ship??

Ah this...

When did things get to this point? I had no idea...

"Tirpitz, Tirpitz, how did you suddenly think of this..." Little White stammered as he looked at Tirpitz.

"Does that mean it will be your wedding ship?" Tirpitz would ask.

"..." Xiaobai pursed her lips and nodded awkwardly.

“Of course…” Tirpitz raised her eyebrows matter-of-factly, “After becoming a married ship, next time I take a bath, I can openly ask Xiaobai to scrub my back and wash my hair. My sister scrubs my back too hard, it hurts.”

"..." Xiaobai almost choked on her own breath. She looked at Tirpitz helplessly, "Uh... just for this reason?"

"if not."

"...Sigh..." The tension on Xiaobai's face vanished in an instant. She looked helplessly at Tirpitz in the bathroom. "Don't joke with me like that...Tirpitz, you almost scared me to death...If you want me to scrub your back, you don't have to be my wedding ship."

"So it's settled?" Tirpitz's eyes lit up.

really.

Tirpitz was just making fun of himself.

This is truly a prank in Tirpitz's personal style...

Xiao Bai felt powerless, a thousand words welling up in his heart, but he didn't know what to say.

"Next time you want me to scrub your back, you don't have to go to all that trouble, just call me... I'm going back to the living room now, I'm closing the door for you." Xiaobai made a sound to Tirpitz in the bathroom, closed the bathroom door, and hurried weakly toward the living room.

Xiao Bai disappeared in front of the bathroom door.

Tirpitz, sitting on the bench, turned his gaze back to the steam-covered mirror in front of him.

Tirpitz reached out and wiped the mirror, removing the layer of fog from it.

Tirpitz, enveloped in soap bubbles, looked at himself in the mirror with a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, revealing a calm, victorious expression.

"...Hmph, hmph...Hmph..." Tirpitz lowered his head, rubbing his body as he softly hummed the lighthearted tune he had just heard.

Without Xiaobai's guidance, the song indeed stopped after a short section was hummed.

Mist rose.

Inside the bathroom, the mirror was covered with a hazy mist again.

In the mirror.

Humming a cheerful tune, Tirpitz lowered his head slightly, his figure gradually blurring in the thin mist.

Gradually.

Tirpitz's expression in the mirror was no longer visible; only a hazy red glow could be seen, quietly rising onto Tirpitz's cheeks with the mist.

"Hum hum……"

-

About ten minutes later, Tirpitz, having finished washing, finally returned to the living room.

Tirpitz changed into a white shirt that was a size too big for her at home, her long legs bare, and stretched while greeting the little white dog in the living room.

"I am back."

"Oh, you're back." Xiaobai sat down next to the sleeping Super Yamato. She looked at Tirpitz, who had changed back into her loungewear, and couldn't help but give her a helpless smile. "Tirpitz... um... you should know that after Super Yamato rests, we'll be going back to Chapter 8, right?"

"I know."

"So what exactly is this outfit of yours...?"

"Let's switch for now, this is more comfortable to wear." Tirpitz walked to the TV to check the power bank and handheld game console's batteries, then sat down cross-legged. "Oh... it's charged quite a bit... it'll be fully charged in another ten minutes or so."

Tirpitz muttered to himself, then grabbed the controller in front of the TV and started playing video games right in front of Xiaobai.

"Anyway, I'm going to play for a while before I fully charge it," Tirpitz said to Little White.

"Alright." Xiaobai turned to look at Chao Yamato sleeping next to her.

The giant dog lay peacefully on its side on the sofa, sleeping soundly, its expression as content as a child's.

Xiao Bai really didn't want to disrupt this harmony, so she woke up Chao Dahe at this moment. Chao Dahe had gone to great lengths to help her these past few days, so for now, she decided to let Chao Dahe sleep...

Shiro patted Yamato's head, then got up and walked over to Tirpitz, where he sat down.

"Tirpitz, turn the volume down a bit," Xiaobai said, turning to Tirpitz as he sat down in his usual spot where he watched Tirpitz play games.

"After waking up the super-large one, we can go back to Chapter 8."

“That makes sense… but let’s keep it a little smaller.” Little White smiled slightly at Tirpitz.

“…Hmm.” Tirpitz nodded, picked up the remote and turned the TV volume down to the lowest setting. Then, pointing to the lowest setting, he said seriously to Xiaobai, “As a professional hardcore gamer, this volume is my limit. I can even make the sound of my controller clicking louder than this.”

"Thanks." Little White nodded and smiled at Tirpitz.

"..." Tirpitz glanced back at Super Yamato on the sofa, and seeing the satisfied expression on Super Yamato's face while he was sleeping, he silently turned back, "You're welcome."

Tirpitz played a game of competitive gaming in front of Xiaobai. Perhaps because he had been away on expeditions for a long time and hadn't played for a while, Tirpitz chose a character with particularly stylish and cool moves. Amidst a series of gorgeous skill effects, he comboed the enemy from full health to zero health, resulting in a particularly entertaining victory.

"Oh..." When the word "KO" appeared on the screen, even Xiaobai couldn't help but give Tirpitz a light round of applause. "Tirpitz, you played so well in this game."

“It’s alright,” Tirpitz replied. She put down the controller, looked down at the handheld game console next to her, and said, “…After this game, let’s switch to another game.”

"Huh? Aren't you playing this anymore?"

“Just play one round for fun, this game requires a lot of skill and is noisy.” Tirpitz said, taking out a few cables and a black box from the cabinet under the TV, then putting the handheld game console into the black box and placing it next to the TV. “Play this one, this game console can be charged while connected to the TV.”

"Oh..." Xiaobai watched the TV screen switch, quickly switching to the game interface he had been watching before.

"I didn't save before the power went out, so I have to play it all over again." Tirpitz sighed and muttered, "Bomb Bin is going to die again."

"..." Xiaobai smiled bitterly.

Compared to competitive games, Xiaobai definitely prefers the game Tirpitz is currently playing.

Sitting next to Tirpitz, Xiaobai watched as Tirpitz continued clearing the story from the previous save point, returning to the tearful scene he had witnessed before, and then slowly immersing himself in the exciting subsequent game story. Before he knew it, he had been watching Tirpitz's performance for a very long time.

When the game on the TV screen reached its finale, and after carefully watching the deeply moving storyline, Xiaobai finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned his gaze away with emotion.

"What a touching game... I wish everyone could have survived," Xiaobai said softly, a little regretfully.

"I don't know if the game is good or not, but I'm going to send razor blades to the story planners, so don't stop me." Tirpitz had already opened the Taobao interface and selected a store called "Razor Blade Mailer for Story Planners".

"Sending razor blades is fine..." Xiaobai looked at Tirpitz's serious expression and didn't know what to say for a moment. She stretched and composed herself, then turned her gaze to the clock in the living room. "Hmm... speaking of which, how long have we been playing? What time is it now..."

Xiaobai looked at the clock.

The clock clearly pointed to the early morning.

"Uh..." Xiaobai froze on the spot, her mouth agape. "Uh... I, we've been playing for this long... Oh... Oh no..."

Xiaobai quickly turned around to look for Chaodahe.

Then Xiaobai noticed that Chaoda was still lying in the same spot, soundly asleep, seemingly with no intention of waking up.

"……"noob.

"Shall we go back now?" Tirpitz put down the controller and asked Little White.

"..." Xiaobai was silent for a while. She glanced at the clock with a complicated expression, then shook her head and sighed helplessly.

Before returning to the newbie naval base, Shiro had already told the ship girls there about her itinerary. So even if she didn't go back tonight, at least the ship girls in Chapter 8 wouldn't think she was missing. Instead, Lexington would most likely find a reason to keep her there for the night.

Since things have already progressed to this point, going back now will not help. Presumably, Akagi and the others have already cleaned up the mess for not coming home all night. Going back now will only cause more trouble, so it's better to just give up and let things slide.

"Oh well... it's so late anyway... and Super Yamato isn't awake yet." Shiro leaned back, looking at the game screen on the TV, and muttered, "I might as well stay home for the night..."

My self-control is still too poor.

They actually stayed up so late watching other people play games...

Reflect, reflect.

Xiao Bai was thinking this truthfully.

Just then, Xiaobai suddenly felt an itch on her thigh. She looked down at her thigh and saw that after listening to her, Tirpitz was leaning down and resting his head on her thigh.

Tirpitz pressed down on Little White's thigh and pressed his face against it.

"Tirpitz?"
