Elder brother's garrison

Page 915

“…It’s my habit to clean up before leaving,” Duan Shuiliu said.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai's gaze instinctively turned to the spot where Duan Shuiliu often sat.

The table and chairs that were originally piled high with folders now had several large suitcases.

"Ah... Sister Duan is leaving..."

"Ah."

Xiao Bai glanced with some emotion at the several heavy-looking suitcases next to Duan Shuiliu's seat, then turned her gaze back to Duan Shuiliu and looked at the mop in his hand.

"...Um, Sister Duan, do you need my help with the big clean-up...or whatever you need me to do?"

“I’m used to doing it myself,” Duan Shuiliu said, pausing slightly at the end. “But it’s good that you came.”

"Hmm? Sister Duan?"

"Come here. I'll pay you."

"Huh? Oh oh oh!"

Xiao Bai hurriedly ran and jumped into the office and came to Duan Shuiliu's side.

Under Xiaobai's watchful eye, Duan Shuiliu walked to his seat, organized the mountain of documents on his seat, and then pulled out two thick folders from the mountain of documents.

Duan Shuiliu lowered his head, gently stroked the folder in his hand twice, and then handed it to Xiaobai.

"Give."

"Hmm? Sister Duan, what is this you gave me...?"

"My garrison."

Chapter 1196 This girl is destined for me

With a loud slap, Duan Shuiliu placed the thick, heavy folder onto Xiaobai's palm.

Before Xiaobai could react, he felt his hands suddenly drop hard, and he almost couldn't catch them with his own strength. Only after subconsciously using the power of the ship's equipment did he feel his hands suddenly become lighter.

"Eh? What?"

"My garrison."

"Huh? What happened to Sister Duan's garrison..."

"For you."

"...???!!!" Xiaobai looked down and then up, completely bewildered, and for a moment didn't even know what to say.

No.

Wait a moment.

Where's the pork chop rice voucher I was promised?!

Are people so keen on sending gifts to garrison commanders these days?

Is a naval base something you can just give away so easily?!

That's not what I want!

The idiot blankly placed the heavy folder in his hand on the table to the side, and then opened the folder with some disbelief.

First page of the folder.

It's the recruitment information of a ship girl in the Duanshuiliu Naval Base. She joined the ship nine years ago. The information card is a bit old, but it's exceptionally well-preserved. Apart from the paper being slightly yellowed, it's almost like new.

At the very bottom of the employment information, in relatively new handwriting, was written the sentence: "Now retired, the ship's equipment has been sent to the Kyoto Ship Equipment Research Center for dismantling, after dismantling, the alias is xxx, and has entered human society."

Xiaobai turned to the second page.

This is also the recruitment information of a ship girl.

On the third and fourth pages, and even further down, an entire folder was filled with information about ship girls.

Xiao Bai quickly flipped through the pages.

Among the data on these ship girls, a small portion of them have already left their posts and entered human society, while the rest are still serving normally. Xiaobai also saw the data on all the ship girls who followed Duan Shuiliu yesterday in this folder.

The only odd thing is that there seems to be no new information about these ship girls' recruitment records for the past two or three years.

—The documents in these two folders should be Duan Shuiliu's "garrison headquarters".

After quickly flipping through it, Xiaobai closed the folder in surprise.

"Sister Duan...you...this...the reward you promised me, is it that you're giving me your garrison base?"

Xiao Bai found it hard to believe.

"Ah."

Duan Shuiliu's expression remained calm.

"...Uh...that is, but..." Xiaobai frowned, looking somewhat flustered and at a loss, as if she had something to say but was hesitant to speak directly because of something she was worried about.

"...What's wrong?" Duan Shuiliu asked.

"Um... Sister Duan..."

"Ah."

“Even if your ship girls made fun of you for never having had a boyfriend yesterday, you can’t just give them to me in a fit of anger…” Xiaobai looked heartbroken, as if she had seen a heartless older sister who had abandoned her pets she was tired of. “…Well, the ship girls didn’t mean any harm.”

"..." Duan Shuiliu.

Visible to the naked eye.

As her delicate chest rose and fell, Duan Shuiliu's steady breathing rose and fell slightly.

“I didn’t care.” Duan Shuiliu sighed softly as he said this, “that kind of thing.”

"……"noob.

This heavy breathing made it impossible for Xiaobai to believe it.

"Anyway, let's not talk about last night." Duan Shuiliu seemed to have given up on explaining this point. She looked at Xiaobai and said, "I've actually thought about this for a long time. It has nothing to do with last night."

"Huh?" Xiaobai was taken aback. "Then why did you give me your naval base, Sister Duan?"

"..." Duan Shuiliu was slightly silent. She looked at the folder that Xiaobai had placed on the table. "I have no reason to continue being the admiral."

"!?"

"My initial intention in becoming the admiral was simply to occupy the position of the tenth naval base and create a relatively comfortable training environment for the new naval bases," Duan Shuiliu said. "Now the new naval bases have a more aggressive admiral, so it's no longer necessary."

"Huh? Aggressiveness??" Xiaobai looked puzzled.

Where did Duan Shuiliu derive this conclusion about aggression?

Just when Xiaobai was feeling lost.

Duan Shuiliu walked up to Xiaobai and extended his hand to Xiaobai.

Having learned from her previous handshake experience, Xiaobai quickly shook hands with her this time.

Duan Shuiliu stretched out his other hand and gently covered Xiaobai's palm.

“I served as admiral for nine years, seven months, and thirteen days. I was a member of the military police for nine years, eleven months, and twenty-seven days,” Duan Shuiliu said softly to Xiaobai. “I am not a competent admiral, so it’s better to hand over the admiral’s duties to you.”

"...Sister Duan, are you tired?"

"Yes. I'm tired," Duan Shuiliu said.

"...Then, those ship girls of yours, sister..."

“It’s alright. I actually told the ship girls in the naval base about this before I even got to Chapter Six,” Duan Shuiliu said.

"Huh?" Xiaobai was taken aback.

Did she plan this whole thing all along?

"But, but I'm not familiar with your ship girls, Sister Duan, they might not agree..."

"I would be willing." Duan Shuiliu looked at Xiaobai with exceptional tenderness. "If it's a newbie garrison."

"Ok?"

"Because my ship girls were all made by your brother."

"Huh??? Eh??? Ah??? What, when???!!" Xiaobai exclaimed in surprise.

Looking at Xiaobai's surprised expression.

In this regard.

Duan Shuiliu did not tell Xiaobai.

Duan Shuiliu let go of Xiaobai's hand, walked to the table, picked up the folder that Xiaobai had put down, and solemnly pushed it into Xiaobai's arms again.

Duan Shuiliu's lips trembled, as if he wanted to say something.

However, as soon as their thin lips parted, they seemed to sense the coldness of the air and closed again.

Duan Shuiliu put on a relatively relaxed expression.

"I've already sent the two squads of ship girls who came with me to your courtyard to find your ship girls. You'll see them when you get back," Duan Shuiliu said to Xiaobai. "It just so happens that Governor Mu Yu is also in this city. Once I've sorted things out here, I'll go to him to get the official extradition documents and find you."

"...Could we change it to Ringo-neechan?"

"……Can."

Duan Shuiliu gently patted Xiaobai's shoulder.

Xiao Bai, still looking confused, was led to the office by Duan Shuiliu, clutching the folder that Duan Shuiliu handed him.

"Oh, right."

As he walked to the office door, seeing Xiaobai's bewildered and dreamlike state, Duan Shuiliu spoke softly.

"Huh? What, what's wrong, Sister Duan?"

"This is a meal card from the military police station. I made you a special one with unlimited pork chop rice. You can use this whenever you come to the military police station." Duan Shuiliu took out a shiny meal card from his clothes and handed it to Xiaobai.

One second Xiaobai was sleepwalking, the next second his eyes lit up.

Wow!! Really?! That's amazing!!

Xiaobai's reaction was more than ten times more exaggerated than when he obtained ownership of the world's tenth naval base.

Xiao Bai put all the folders into the ship's equipment space, then took the meal card handed to him by Duan Shuiliu with both hands, looking very happy with it.

This reward.

It's much more reassuring for Xiaobai than to be sent to the garrison headquarters in a frightening way.

Sometimes, happiness is that simple.

"Thank you, Sister Duan!" Xiaobai said to Duan Shuiliu, blushing. "I will cherish this opportunity!"

Duan Shuiliu rubbed Xiaobai's head without saying a word.

"...Well, Sister Duan, I'll head back now..."

"Ah."

Xiao Bai took the meal card that Duan Shuiliu had given him and carefully took two steps back.

"Ah...right." Suddenly, Xiaobai seemed to remember something and looked at Duan Shuiliu with a slight puzzlement, "Um...Sister Duan, speaking of which, why did you choose the military police as your main profession?"

"..." Duan Shuiliu was stunned, not expecting Xiaobai to suddenly ask this question.

"Sister Duan?"

“…Hmm.” Duan Shuiliu scratched his long hair by his ear, a faint blush appearing on his face. “The reason I like being a military policeman…is nothing.”

Duan Shuiliu lowered his hand.

"...simply because if I were the captain of the military police, I would be 1,551 times better than anyone else."

Sunlight streams through the glass.

It hit Duan Shuiliu's body.

A confident and light smile.

Bright eyes and white teeth.

Beautiful as a flower.
