Elder brother's garrison

"Who are you?" Because his eyes were covered by a blindfold, Richelieu could only raise his head and shouted nervously at the people in front of him, "This is a law-abiding area. Kidnapping, trafficking, and imprisoning women are illegal acts!"

"Ah?" Another gentle voice rang out, carrying a hint of something strange. "So you know kidnapping is a crime..."

A pair of hands touched Richelieu's cheeks, and then Richelieu's blindfold was slowly removed.

Richelieu's face froze instantly upon seeing the person behind the blindfold.

"It's been a few days, Richelieu. How have you been?" Little White smiled at Richelieu.

“Uh…” Richelieu stared at Xiaobai with his mouth agape, completely bewildered.

"I'm sorry, there were too many people over there, and it would be inconvenient to ask questions if the ship girls found out, so I asked Odin to bring you here for me," Xiaobai said to Richelieu.

“…” Richelieu silently lowered his head.

Oh wow.

—It's this person.

——That’s okay.

Richelieu had little desire to struggle when facing Little White.

"Huh? You two know each other?" Odin was taken aback as he watched Little White and Richelieu chatting happily.

"Ah."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I was a bit rough just now." Odin bowed to Richelieu.

Richelieu looked at Odin, a ship girl he had never met before, and nodded with a complicated expression.

Xiao Bai reached out and helped Richelieu up from the ground, then put his hands on his hips and said, "Riceleu, you guys are selling my comics here again, aren't you?"

"Ah... um."

"Hmph." Little White's cheeks puffed out immediately. "Who are they?"

"...Tirpitz..."

"Ugh, Tirpitz is drawing my...yellow...comics again!" Little White stomped her foot on the ground with an "I knew it" look on her face and said angrily.

"Huh?" However, faced with Xiaobai's angry words, Odin and Richelieu, who had read the comics, raised their heads in confusion. "Yellow?"

"correct."

"...It's not yellow."

"what?"

Odin searched his person, pulled out the comic book he had just taken out, and handed it to Little White.

Xiao Bai subconsciously took the comic book that Odin handed him and flipped through it.

The first page of the comic doesn't feature any alluring limbs, exposed skin, or any hugging or kissing scenes. It's simply a normal scene of the admirals and ship girls having a funny day together.

Xiao Bai blinked and turned to the second page.

The first page.

The second page.

The third page.

Xiaobai slowly flipped through the pages, and before he knew it, he had finished the whole book.

Xiao Bai held the last page of the comic book, stunned for a moment.

This is the first time I've read this comic book.

The manga's plot is very simple, depicting the normal daily lives of ship girls and their admirals. The ship girls are based on characters I've all seen before, including CV-16, Saratoga, Tirpitz, and Royal Oak, among others. A few Abyssal ships are also mixed in. The plot is neither erotic nor violent, without any dramatic twists or thought-provoking hints. It's extremely bland, even boring and cliché, yet subtly like a warm current or a gentle stream, a quiet and peaceful everyday manga.

—Huh? ? ?

—This, this is a normal comic, isn't it?

Xiao Bai stared in surprise at the comic book in his hand, his mouth agape.

Xiaobai knows Tirpitz well. Tirpitz's head is full of strange and bizarre thoughts. Her comics are always about tentacles or corruption, and there are always terrible scenes and settings. Even the official manga, Yuuki Kantai Collection, is full of all sorts of terrible hints. So it's impossible for Tirpitz to draw such a bland and uneventful manga.

"Who drew this?"

"Tirpitz...the one from the deep sea."

"!!!???" Xiaobai's eyes widened.

Deep Sea Tirpitz... is he actually a refreshing artist?!

Seeing Xiaobai's surprised expression, Richelieu smiled awkwardly. She gently rubbed her thigh and thought for a while with her head down: "Um... at the very end of the book, there should be the illustrator's signature."

Xiao Bai responded and looked towards the last page of the book.

Sure enough, there was a line of text in the corner of the last page.

—Artist: Anonymous

—Artist guidance: Teacher Beizhai.

"Teacher Beizhai" is naturally the stage name of the ship girl Tirpitz. Since she put herself in the artist guidance section, it proves that this manga was indeed not created by the ship girl Tirpitz.

Xiao Bai, somewhat bewildered, flipped over the last page and looked at what lay behind it.

Generally speaking, whether it's a novel or a comic, there will be a closing statement or a conclusion statement here, which is a place for authors and readers to connect and communicate.

However, the section in Xiaobai's comic book where the epilogue should have been written was completely blank.

Xiao Bai looked at the blank page for a while and only saw a small line of words in the corner.

"I hope the world can be kind to everyone."

Chapter 991 I'm going to start hinting!

The exhibition hall was bustling with activity.

Amidst the bustling anime convention, bursts of electronic music resounded from various booths throughout the venue, mingling with the cheers of the crowd and echoing through the air.

High-quality cosplayers dressed in colorful and gorgeous costumes stood alone or in groups of three or five in the open space, striking various poses in the small circle formed by a large number of photographers bending over. The flashes of the cameras crackled and popped, and the dazzling lights rose and fell.

In a corner of the exhibition, three cosplayers were having a great time. Holding their empty Coke bottles, they chatted and laughed as they approached the restroom in the corner of the exhibition. Their arms were linked together, and their faces showed the warmth of sisters.

The cosplayers stopped in front of the restroom.

They looked at each other, their big, bright eyes, adorned with colored contact lenses, sparkling with playful, adorable smiles.

"Left or right?"

"Men on the left and women on the right."

"Uh-huh-huh."

The three cosplayers exchanged a smile, turned left in perfect unison, pushed open the door to the men's restroom, and went inside.

Behind the door to the men's restroom, through the crack in the door, one could vaguely see several cross-dressing women with delicate features, unbuckling their waistbands under their skirts while facing the urinals.

It's a comic convention.

There are such players.

The already bustling men's restroom became even more lively after the arrival of three cross-dressing men.

The gate closed after the three cosplayers disappeared.

Directly opposite the men's restroom entrance, the women's restroom is much quieter compared to the bustling and noisy men's restroom. At this moment, the entire women's restroom is empty, with only three people visible at a glance.

Under the watchful eyes of Richelieu and Odin, Xiaobai put down the comic book in his hand with a complicated expression.

"How is it?" Odin raised an eyebrow and asked Little White.

"Huh? What do you mean, how is it?"

"This comic."

"...Um, well, it's alright, I guess." Xiaobai awkwardly touched the cover and replied.

Last time, after Tirpitz secretly created an R18 version of Yuru Kantai Collection with the newbie ship girls in the naval base, the newbies who had read that work went from feeling slightly ashamed to being extremely opposed to Tirpitz's subsequent creative attitude.

After all, Xiaobai has a good memory. After seeing that kind of thing once, Xiaobai would have a fear of not daring to sleep for a long time, for fear of having some strange dreams.

Therefore, when Xiaobai first found the new comic book in Odin's hands, he thought that since Tirpitz might be up to something again and had drawn a terrible plot to sell, he did not choose to read the comic book at first in order to avoid causing himself a second mental blow.

Just now, after Odin handed over the comic book, in order to understand Odin's expression, Xiaobai read it and discovered that the content of this comic book in Odin's hand was so bland compared to the usual ones that it didn't seem like Tirpitz's work at all.

Tirpitz's original comics, even the legitimate Amman, were full of ominous hints and had to be labeled R15.

Although the art style of this comic is a bit rough, the content alone is a work that praises the beauty and purity of the world. It is a work suitable for all ages and could be made into a children's book. I read the whole book and didn't see a single bad plot. In fact, after reading it, I even had a subtle feeling of spiritual purification.

"This comic is really interesting. Generally speaking, because of the fact that the Abyssal Fleet is at war with humans, humans here rarely give the Abyssal Fleet such positive roles in their works. But this comic is different. The Abyssal Fleet has just as much screen time as the ship girls, which is why I find it interesting. That's why I bought this comic book when I saw it."

Odin, seeing Xiaobai carefully examining the cover, raised his hand and explained to Xiaobai in the same way.

"However, when I bought it, I really didn't expect that this manga would be the one you were looking for, Admiral."

"I didn't expect this either..." Xiaobai laughed awkwardly, "I thought this comic would be like the previous ones, one of those... that kind of..."

As Xiaobai spoke, her face flushed red and she lowered her head, her voice growing softer and softer until even Odin could no longer hear what she was saying.

"Which one?" Odin tilted his head.

“The Serchin Publication…” Xiaobai muttered.

"..." Odin stared blankly at Little White, her face suddenly turning red. She looked around in a bit of a panic before hurriedly explaining, "I, I'm someone who's lived for a very long time... How could I possibly look at... that kind of thing in public... What kind of person do you take me for, Admiral..."

"Ah...this was my oversight...I'm very sorry," Xiaobai said dejectedly.

Xiao Bai closed the comic book and handed it back to Odin.

"So, Admiral, what are you going to do next?" Odin took the comic book and asked Xiaobai, "Are you going to recall all the sold comics and then destroy that stall, or settle scores later?"

“…Hmm…” Xiaobai smiled awkwardly. She frowned as she looked at Richelieu, who remained silent. After thinking about it for a long time, she finally sighed, “Forget it.”

"Admiral, are you not going to pursue this matter?"

"Ah."

"Eh—I thought you hated being drawn as a comic book character, Admiral." Odin looked at Xiaobai with surprise.

"It's a little embarrassing to be drawn in a comic... but I don't actually hate it. I'm honored to be chosen as the protagonist of a comic by the ship girls... but what I really hate are those H scenes from before." Xiaobai pointed at Odin and said righteously, "If it were those old comics, I would definitely make Lexington punish them."

"Ah~" Odin gave a knowing smile, "So, this way the comic content is okay?"

"It's not without its problems... If it's this kind of comic... I can turn a blind eye, after all, I'm just an ordinary girl, and image rights aren't important." As Xiaobai said this, a strange emotion welled up in her eyes. "And... just like Odin thought... I also really like storylines where the Deep Sea Dean and the ship girls can get along well..."

Xiao Bai stopped there and didn't feel like saying anything more.

She shook her head, reached out and removed the blindfold that had been dragging around Richelieu's neck, then untied her.

"Richelieu, I'm sorry to have startled you." Little White smiled at Richelieu. "It's alright now."

“…Thank you…” Richelieu didn’t know what to say at this moment, so she could only nod to Little White. “Then…can I go back now?”

"Ah."

"...Goodbye, Admiral Lu Lin..."

"Oh right, Richelieu." Little White suddenly seemed to remember something and called out to Richelieu.

“!” Richelieu immediately stood up straight, looking nervously at Little White.

Xiao Bai, with his hands behind his back, observed Richelieu's complexion.

"How have you been doing at the newbie naval base?"

“…Okay.” Richelieu closed his eyes and nodded.

“I heard from Lexington that Richelieu, you’ve been behaving very well in the naval base and haven’t shown any intention of escaping.”

“…” Richelieu’s lips twitched.

Who would dare to run?

Let's not even talk about whether I can successfully escape.

Knowing so many of your secrets, if I were to actually run away, the heartless rookie naval commander would probably just come after me in a swarm of B-25s and take my life.

Seeing that Richelieu did not answer Xiaobai's question, Xiaobai smiled, reached out and tidied her hair, looked at Richelieu's face for a while and pondered before taking a deep breath and opening her mouth.

"Richelieu."

"exist."
