Elder brother's garrison

Baltimore paused, then looked around somewhat bewildered.

“It’s alright, you’re not responsible for this,” Lexington said to Baltimore. “You were just in your favorite comic book group, right?”

Baltimore nodded stiffly.

“Then come over here.” Lexington smiled at Baltimore.

Baltimore thought for a moment, but couldn't resist Lexington's smile. Finally, he slowly stood up, lowered his head, and walked towards Lexington.

"...Hello." Baltimore greeted Lexington with his head bowed.

"Yes. From now on, you'll be a sister at the naval base. Just call me Lexington." Lexington was quite welcoming to Baltimore. She smiled and took Baltimore's hand, gently stroking it. "It's not your fault about the comic. After all, you were just following your own interests, right? In the end, the comic turned out to be quite good."

"Ah... thank you..." Baltimore said to Lexington with tears in her eyes, "And to everyone in the comics team..."

“They did it knowingly.” Lexington released Baltimore’s hand and smiled gently at her.

"Regardless, scaring Xiaobai into fainting is an irreversible consequence." Lexington stroked the cover of the comic book, looking at the ship girls kneeling on the ground. "Do you know you were wrong?"

The ship girls didn't reply, but they all kept their heads down, seemingly reflecting on their actions.

Lexington sighed, and just as he was about to say something, Bismarck stepped forward and held out her hand to block Lexington's way: "I'll do it."

Bismarck walked to the front of the group of ship girls, crossed her arms, and looked coldly at Tirpitz kneeling at the front.

Bismarck didn't speak, only looked at Tirpitz, without showing much anger, just like usual, with a stern face. But for some reason, everyone present felt as if a ball of bright red flames was burning behind Bismarck, making their skin scorch.

"You drew it."

"Ah."

"Do you know what to do when you get back?" Bismarck asked.

"...Kneel on the washboard," Tirpitz said, pouting.

"and then."

“A paper shredder,” Tirpitz said, sounding aggrieved.

"What about later?"

“I’m not drawing anymore,” Tirpitz said.

"What do you want to say?"

“I was wrong,” Tirpitz said.

“…” Bismarck looked at Tirpitz in silence.

Chapter 545 Gradually Going Astray

Tirpitz was that kind of person. She believed she had no backbone in front of her sister. Other brats might argue back, but Tirpitz was different. Bismarck made her admit her mistake, and she did. After all, in the realm of admitting mistakes, Tirpitz was the undisputed champion.

But while she admitted her mistake, Tirpitz was also quite forgetful; even if she apologized a thousand times, she wouldn't change her mind once she made up her mind.

—So what if it's a paper shredder? All the comic book materials are with Luo Lian anyway. Shredding one notebook will just cause thousands more to rise up. After all, I've already been punished twice by the righteous paper shredder. Do you think I, Tirpitz, will never learn?

Tirpitz didn't blame Baltimore for exposing the comic book group's activities. In reality, no one can sail without getting their shoes wet. Even with the company's good fortune, this couldn't last forever, and the truth would come out sooner or later.

When Tirpitz reached an agreement with Luo Lian, he was already prepared for this. Especially as the comic book group grew stronger, this awareness increased day by day.

After all, too many people would make the place bloated and easy to spot, but Tirpitz couldn't refuse these loyal readers who came for the sake of the newbie.

Despite his usual lazy and laid-back attitude, Tirpitz believed he could still take the lead when faced with matters of great importance.

—As the illustrator for Shipgirl R18, Tirpitz feels obligated to bring spiritual satisfaction to these readers.

Bismarck squinted at Tirpitz. Finally, she shifted her gaze to Missouri beside Tirpitz.

Missouri.

“Missouri is here,” Missouri replied.

"You're already Xiaobai's marriage ship, why are you getting involved in this?"

"I'm sorry, senior." Missouri surprisingly didn't say anything, but instead obediently apologized along with Tirpitz. "Missouri knows she was wrong."

Bismarck then looked at Changchun.

She sighed, but didn't ask anything.

"Bismarck, Bismarck." Just then, Akagi, who was engrossed in reading the manga, spoke up.

She sat in the chair, her ten snow-white fingers gently supporting the comic book, her face full of interest: "I think it's very good."

"You like this kind of thing?" Bismarck turned her head and asked Akagi.

"Hmm... Strictly speaking, I don't like it." Akagi shook her head, but her eyes narrowed, and her long eyelashes folded together like a cat's. "But this comic book is very well drawn."

As Akagi finished speaking, she looked up at Bismarck and smiled, "There is a plot too. Bismarck, you just watched it, didn't you? Didn't you find it interesting?"

“…” Bismarck remained silent, surprisingly.

Those familiar with Bismarck know that when Bismarck doesn't refuse, it usually means he agrees.

“Look,” Akagi said, lifting the comic book and laughing. “I think this comic book shows how much our ship girls love the admiral.”

Bismarck closed his eyes and thought for a while.

Tirpitz's comic is indeed different from his previous comics, and Bismarck was not unfamiliar with Tirpitz's previous comics.

In Bismarck's eyes, Tirpitz's earlier comics could almost be described as vulgar, filled with scenes that used girls' bodies to attract attention, lacking any real substance. This is why Bismarck opposed Tirpitz drawing smutty characters.

However, this time, although it still couldn't escape vulgar scenes due to the plot, Bismarck had to admit that this comic was on a much higher level than his previous ones.

As if she has finally understood the beauty of veiled mystery, Tirpitz seems to have elevated physical movements to an art form in this manga, captivating the reader. The emotional interactions between the characters have also increased, and it seems she has finally understood the importance of emotions. Although there is plenty of explicit content in this manga, you can still feel the deep affection each ship girl has for her admiral through the visuals.

When she was having sex with the protagonist, the act seemed more like an emotional connection than a release of pent-up feelings, which made it seem much more noble and even quite touching.

—Well, now that you mention it, Akagi does have a point.

Bismarck nodded.

“Right?” Akagi said with a smile.

The ship girls present immediately raised their heads, their big eyes blinking as they looked at Bismarck.

Bismarck naturally knew what these ship girls were thinking.

“No,” Bismarck and Lexington refused in unison.

"No matter what, this comic book scared Xiaobai." Lexington gave the comic book team members present a wry smile. "From the content perspective, it is indeed a good work, but it's just not good. Do you really want Xiaobai to hate you because of this comic book?"

Upon hearing Lexington's words, the ship girls from the manga group immediately shook their heads.

The ship girls present joined the manga group because of their love for Shiro. If Shiro dislikes them because of the manga, then it would be putting the cart before the horse.

"Good to know." Lexington looked at the comic book cover with some regret and sighed. "So, you can disband."

The ship girls immediately lowered their heads, looking dejected.

It seems that Lexington is more persuasive than Bismarck. With just a few words from her, the ship girls instantly lost their confidence in staying in the manga group.

—The tide has turned.

Then, at that moment, Xiaobai, who had been unconscious for a long time, finally stirred.

"Hmm." Little White, lying on the rocking chair, murmured softly, then took a deep breath and slowly opened her eyes.

"Ah, Little White!" Saratoga, who had been watching Little White closely, was pleasantly surprised to see Little White wake up. He quickly put down his fan and moved closer to Little White.

"Saratoga, good afternoon." Little White reached out and removed the damp towel from her forehead, smiling as she propped herself up from the rocking chair.

"Are you alright?" Saratoga asked with concern.

"Huh?" Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, then looked into the yard.

About fifty ship girls were silently watching him in the courtyard.

"Ah..." Xiaobai nodded, a rather bitter smile on her face. "Well... it's alright now."

"Little White." Lexington and Bismarck walked up to Little White at this moment. "How are you feeling?"

"It's alright now, it's over." Xiaobai nodded.

“I made Tirpitz and the others stop drawing your… comics.” Bismarck paused for a moment before changing the wording from “Serchin Magazine” to “comics,” and then said to Little White, “I’m going to burn all of these comics later.”

"Burned?!" Xiaobai was stunned.

"Hmm, it seems you don't like it."

"..." Xiaobai looked troubled. "Um, Bismarck, Lexington..."

"Xiao Bai, do you have something to say?"

"...Could I see the comic?" Xiaobai asked Bismarck, her lips pursed and tears welling in her eyes.

"???" Even Bismarck and Lexington were stunned after seeing Xiaobai's answer.

"I want to see," Xiaobai repeated.

“…What are you looking at?” Bismarck asked.

Xiaobai blushed and pointed to the comic book in Bismarck's hand.

“This is a bad thing.” Bismarck was stunned for a long time before he managed to utter these words.

"It's okay, let me see."

“…” Bismarck silently handed the comic book in her hand to Shiro.

Xiao Bai whispered a thank you, then turned to the first page of the comic book and began to read quietly.

Xiao Bai read very quickly, glancing at one page quickly before turning to the next, and then flipping through the pages repeatedly.

In just a few minutes, Xiaobai had finished reading the thick comic book.

"..." Xiaobai silently put the comic book back on the chair, then jumped off. She bowed slightly to Bismarck and Lexington, then covered her face and rushed into Yamato's room.

The ship girls present were momentarily speechless at Xiaobai's reaction.

"The admiral seems to really like this manga." Suddenly, one of the ship girls kneeling on the ground blurted out this remark.

"Doesn't the Admiral hate H the most?"

"Could it be that our comic is too perfect, even the admiral was moved?"

"Then...then doesn't that mean..."

The ship girls kneeling on the ground first spoke in short sentences, then slowly began to discuss. In the end, one by one, the beautiful girls looked at Bismarck and Lexington with bright eyes.

Things took an unexpected turn in Lexington's life.

"Mrs. Lexington! Mrs. Lexington, can we! Can we continue?!" The ship girls even began to boldly ask Lexington.

Lexington paused, looking down at the comic book, seemingly trying to understand the situation.

A few seconds later, Lexington chuckled, picked up the comic book, and shook her head helplessly.

"Could I have a copy of this comic?" Lexington asked the ship girls with a smile.

In the courtyard of the naval base, the cheers of the ship girls suddenly surged outwards like a vast ocean.

Xiaobai covered her face and ran into Shenhai Yamato's room with a look of despair. Then she jumped onto Shenhai Yamato's bed, pulled up Shenhai Yamato's blanket and covered her head with it.

Xiao Bai closed her eyes, feeling so ashamed she felt like she was about to die, and immersed her mind in the spiritual world.

In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Little White suddenly fell into an empty space in the mental world.

"Welcome back." The voice of the Deep Sea Will rang out beside Xiaobai.

Little White looked up and saw the Will of the Deep Sea lying in a colorful mountain of books, holding the books in its arms as if they were treasures.

Beneath her, stacks of comic books formed a bed, supporting the slender body of Deep Sea Will.

"I've finished reading it," Xiaobai said, sounding aggrieved.

"Received it." Deep Sea Will's eyes seemed to light up with millions of little stars as she held up the comic book in her hand, looking incredibly happy.

Chapter 546 Aoba and Quincy

Xiaobai did faint at first when she saw the comic book fall out of Baltimore's clothes.

However, that was merely a temporary mental shutdown caused by being exposed to something so shocking.

In fact, Xiaobai regained consciousness after only a moment or so of distraction.
