Elder brother's garrison

Even the current admiral hasn't completely won her over yet; he's just forcibly keeping her in the naval base!

I actually managed to put the basketball hoop on this terrifying woman's head. Now I'm in big trouble...

Akashi sat fearfully on Frederick the Great's hands, trembling as she held the tender bud in her arms, her little face pale and tears streaming down her face.

Even with the basketball hoop above his head, Akashi could clearly feel the intense gaze emanating from Frederick the Great's "eyes," a gaze that seemed capable of slicing through flesh and shattering bones, making Akashi too terrified to move.

However, the anticipated disastrous ending did not occur.

Frederick the Great, with the basketball hoop on his head, simply bent down and placed the terrified Akashi back on the ground.

After Frederick the Great had done all this, he dragged the iron chain around the bright stone and walked toward the end of the path.

Crack...

Crack...

The crisp sound of chains rang out again.

Akashi, holding the tender bud, sat on the ground with her eyes open, watching the departing figure of Frederick the Great.

Suddenly, Akashi's eyes widened.

"Wait, wait a minute, meow!!!" Akashi jumped up and shouted at Frederick the Great while holding the tender sprout in her arms.

"..." Frederick the Great stopped and turned to look at Akashi.

"Eek..." Akashi felt Frederick the Great's all-encompassing gaze. She swallowed nervously, but still clutched the tender sprout in her arms tightly. She pointed a finger at the basket above Frederick the Great's head, timidly pleading, "The basket... the basket can be sold for five cents, meow... Don't, don't take it away, meow... and you haven't returned the tender sprout to Akashi yet, meow..."

That's right.

In order to make money, Akashi chose to take a risk.

"..."

Frederick the Great then realized that he had forgotten to take the basket off his head.

Frederick the Great turned around and dragged the iron chain toward Akashi.

Akashi retreated in fear, his knees trembling.

Frederick the Great stopped in front of Akashi, took the basket off his head, and placed it in front of Akashi.

"Let me do it!" Just then, the deep-sea supply ship darted out in a few steps. With a smile, she came to the edge of the basket and said to Frederick the Great, "You still have a lot of tender buds that you just picked from the tree. Let me help you take them off!"

"..." Frederick the Great.

The deep-sea supply ship lowered the basket it was carrying on its back, walked up to Frederick the Great, and reached out to help him remove the tender buds from his body.

Compared to the ship girls, the deep-sea supply ship, perhaps due to the racial issues of the deep sea, does not have as much fear of Frederick the Great as the others.

As the deep-sea supply ship helped Frederick the Great pluck the tender shoots, it smiled and introduced the ship to him, trying to make conversation.

"Oh dear, actually, we were hired by Akashi today. Akashi told us that the new shoots at the naval base are about to bloom, and we can collect them to fry into snacks and sell for money. I'll get a few dollars' worth for every ten sold!" The deep-sea supply ship kept tossing the shoots into the basket, laughing as she spoke. "So, Akashi and I were just climbing a tree to collect these. I even reminded Akashi to pick less, in case the basket was too heavy and she lost her balance and fell. I didn't expect it to actually end like that—oh dear—"

The deep-sea replenishment ship was exceptionally talkative, talking non-stop as it operated.

"..." Frederick the Great.

In contrast to the talkative behavior of the deep-sea supply ship, Frederick the Great maintained his image as a man of few words.

Seeing that Frederick the Great did not seem to want to retaliate against Akashi, Akashi gradually grew bolder. She quickly ran up and, like picking crops, joined the deep-sea supply ship in picking up the scattered tender shoots from Frederick the Great's body.

"Akashi, why are you so afraid of Frederick? She's not going to eat you."

"Meow—it's not normal for a ship girl to be afraid of the deep sea, meow..."

"I've never seen you afraid of Yamato and the others."

"Meow, the old master hired meow..." Akashi put the tender shoots in her arms back into the basket, then squatted down and picked up the dusty tender shoots as well. "And these too, meow!"

"These are all dirty from falling on the ground, are we going to put them in anyway?"

"Just wash it clean and it'll be ready to sell, meow, it won't taste bad, meow..."

"Wouldn't that be a bit heartless?"

"The ship girl's body won't get sick no matter what she eats, meow." Akashi said, pulling the deep-sea supply ship along. "Besides, having a conscience makes you very happy, but losing it means you can make more money, meow... You'll get a bigger share too, meow, and we'll all be happy, meow."

"Wow……"

Akashi and the deep-sea supply ship are plotting loudly.

Soon, Akashi and the deep-sea supply ship finished picking the tender buds off Frederick the Great, and their baskets were about seven-tenths full.

Frederick the Great rose, preparing to leave.

However, at that moment, a voice called out from behind Frederick the Great.

"Frederick!"

The deep-sea supply ship summoned Frederick the Great.

"...?" Frederick the Great turned slightly and looked at the deep-sea supply ship.

"I'm so sorry for troubling you just now. How about we visit Akashi's shop after we finish picking the sprouts and ask her to fry some for you?" The deep-sea supply ship pointed to the tender green materials in the basket and said to Frederick the Great with a smile, "This stuff is delicious! Tender, fragrant, and crispy!"

"Um, this is for sale, meow..." Akashi said softly, leaning against the deep-sea supply ship.

"It's alright, just give Frederick my share." The deep-sea supply ship said to Akashi with a smile, "We just caused Frederick so much trouble, it would be too much of a waste not to treat her to something."

"Well, if we consider the cost of ingredients, then we can only eat about thirty, meow..." Akashi lowered her head, extending five slender fingers from each of her long sleeves to count for a while, before saying with difficulty, "But, but... we need to pick more tender shoots to take back, meow!"

"It's no big deal, just climbing a few more trees." The deep-sea supply ship smiled and gave a thumbs up. She then looked at Frederick the Great and said with a smile, "Great, Frederick, you're free now, right?"

Frederick the Great silently watched the deep-sea supply ship.

The smiles on the faces of the deep-sea supply ship were exceptionally genuine and warm.

"After we finish picking the tender shoots, you can come with us to Akashi's convenience store!" The deep-sea supply ship said, making a move to climb a tree nearby.

"..." Frederick the Great watched as the deep-sea supply ship, like a longhorn beetle, slowly climbed towards the top of the tree, clinging to the tree trunk with its legs.

Frederick the Great raised his hand and reached towards the bushes.

At the same time, tiny black tentacles spread from Frederick the Great's fingertips, extending her arms.

Frederick the Great was so tall that she could reach the tops of the bushes—a height that was inaccessible to Akashi and the deep-sea supply ship—without even standing on tiptoe.

Frederick the Great reached into the bushes and quickly gathered a handful of tender shoots, which he then handed to the deep-sea supply ship.

"Wow—Frederick, you're amazing!"

Upon seeing this, the deep-sea supply ship and Akashi immediately widened their eyes and quickly handed over the basket.

Frederick the Great released his grip, and a handful of tender shoots fell into the basket.

"Wow... such efficiency!" Akashi's eyes lit up as she looked at the newly added thick layer of basketball hoops. She immediately turned to Frederick the Great, "Frederick, how about working for Akashi, meow! Akashi can treat you to snacks, meow! And give you a share, meow!"

When Akashi talks about making money, he can completely ignore everything else.

"..."

Frederick the Great looked at Akashi with the excitement of discovering a gold mine, then looked down at his own palm, which was now covered with tiny black tentacles.

The deep-sea aura quickly dissipated from the palm covered in tentacles, revealing Frederick the Great's slender, snow-white hand.

Frederick the Great listened to the chatter of the two supply ships in front of her, looking at her snow-white palms, lost in thought.

suddenly.

Frederick the Great seemed to sense something; she straightened her chest slightly, lowered her hand, and looked behind her.

On the path behind Frederick the Great, a ship girl appeared. As soon as she appeared, her gaze seemed to have been chosen in advance. She crossed the entire path, past Akashi and the deep-sea supply ship who were excitedly discussing their money-making business while holding a basketball hoop, and locked her eyes directly on Frederick the Great.

"..."

"Ah. Found it."

The ship girl who appeared at the end of the road saw Frederick the Great. Her gaze quickly drifted to Frederick the Great's feet and saw the heavy shackles she was dragging.

The next second, the ship girl smiled at Frederick the Great.

The ship girl strode towards Frederick the Great.

“Frederick…right? I just heard someone call you Frederick.”

The two supply ships heard the ship girl's voice and turned around to look.

"Huh? Who is this...?"

"It looks like Montana from yesterday?"

In the eyes of the ship girl, it seemed that nothing else could be accommodated except Frederick the Great. The ship girl walked up excitedly, stood in front of Frederick the Great, and looked up at the tall woman who was a head taller than her.

Compared to Frederick the Great, Montana appeared as small as a middle school student compared to a high school student.

Even so, Montana's gaze toward Frederick the Great remained passionate and unwavering.

"This name... sounds very familiar. So you are Frederick the Great."

“When I heard people mention you before, I thought you were just like everyone else, but it seems I was being too naive.”

“You are indeed different from others. You have an aura that is very similar to that of the Admiral.”

"Nice to meet you, my name is Montana."

"nice to meet you."

Montana extended his hand to the silent Frederick the Great, a smile on his face.

Golden flames rose in Montana's eyes.

"broken."

"...I think I'm getting excited."

Chapter 3105 Knowing the Truth and Being a True Friend

Montana and Frederick the Great stood facing each other.

Frederick the Great stared expressionlessly at Montana, who was standing right in front of him, through a layer of gauze.

Montana then reached out to Frederick the Great, his eyes fixed on her as if he had found his destined one. A joyful smile appeared on Montana's lips, and his entire body radiated a fiery fighting spirit.

The breeze blows.

Montana and Frederick the Great's hair fluttered slightly.

Behind Montana and Frederick the Great, the deep-sea supply ship and Akashi, holding a basketball hoop, stared at the two of them with wide eyes.

The two supply ships exchanged a glance.

"Huh? What's going on?" the deep-sea supply ship asked Akashi, puzzled.

"Oh dear—" Akashi covered her mouth with her long sleeve. She glanced at Frederick the Great, who stood as still as a statue, then at Montana in front of her. Then, Akashi suddenly realized, and a smile crept onto her lips. "So this is exactly how the plot unfolds..."

"What's going on in the plot?" The deep-sea supply ship blinked blankly. "Uh... who is this ship girl named Montana?"

"She's a ship girl the admiral just brought back yesterday, and I hear she's incredibly strong." Akashi gave the deep-sea supply ship a shrewd, merchant-like smile, her small fingers peeking out from her long sleeves to make a coin-shaped gesture. She continued, "When she came back yesterday, she fought the admiral in the training field. Although the admiral won, the battle was fierce. I took the opportunity to sell a lot of near-expiry popcorn and corn chips at a high price."

"Wow..."

"Judging from the current situation, it seems that after the Admiral, Montana has chosen Frederick the Great as her second target for battle." Akashi said, her eyes lighting up with excitement. She continued to the deep-sea supply ship, "On one side is the world's strongest deep-sea ship, and on the other is the world's strongest ship girl. If these two fight, it'll be the most popular electronic cricket-fighting time at our naval base! Akashi, I need to hurry to the convenience store to prepare the snacks to sell at the training ground later, meow! This afternoon will definitely be a big sell-out, meow!"

"At a time like this, you're still thinking about making money..."

The deep-sea supply ship looked helplessly at Akashi, who was already scheming, and sighed, then looked at Frederick the Great and Montana.

When the deep-sea supply ship's gaze fell upon Frederick the Great and Montana, it couldn't help but swallow hard, feeling a little nervous as it sensed their presence.

After listening to Akashi's explanation, the deep-sea supply ship felt... as if it were witnessing something very impressive.

At this moment, Montana was like a burning flame, not aggressive, but incredibly passionate and intense.

“Frederick the Great, do you have a moment to spare?” Montana, still holding out her hand, took another step toward Frederick the Great. A faint smile played on her lips, and her eyes blazed with renewed brilliance and confidence. “If it’s convenient, would you mind coming to the training grounds with me? We can have a real fight. I’m sure the battle will leave both of us satisfied.”

"Oh oh oh oh oh!" The deep-sea supply ship and Akashi exclaimed upon hearing Montana's words.

Speak out!

She said it!

Montana did indeed say it!

Despite it being their first meeting, she immediately issued a challenge to Frederick the Great?!

The world's strongest ship girl is about to challenge the world's strongest deep-sea dean!
