Elder brother's garrison

I'm in a bind...

"...I...I'm fine too. Please take the picture." Xiaobai didn't know where she got the courage, but she grabbed Tirpitz's hand and answered the man.

"Oh, thank you so much. I must say, you two ladies are really good at cosplaying." The man said out of the blue, and started taking pictures of Xiaobai and Tirpitz with his camera.

Hmm? No, that's not right.

It was only at this moment that Xiaobai suddenly remembered something very important.

Wait a minute? Isn't cosplay about cosplaying characters from anime/manga?

What am I cosplaying as?

Xiao Bai was stunned when the camera flashes started going off incessantly.

"Oh, oh, that's great, that's great! Miss, could we try a different position? Ah, this is it, this is it! This feeling of shyness mixed with arousal and coy reluctance is so realistic!"

reduction?!!!

While Xiaobai was still in a daze, he seemed to hear a sound from the ceiling, so he subconsciously looked up at the ceiling.

I was shocked when I saw it.

A large television was hanging from the ceiling, showing an anime about ship girls.

Just as Xiaobai looked up, the show happened to be showing a ship girl who looked a lot like Tirpitz and her admiral.

The admiral in the anime wears a white naval uniform, has black hair and black eyes, is short, and his two big eyes always show a fearful expression like a small animal.

Huh? I feel like I've seen this person somewhere before.

Xiaobai turned and stared at Tirpitz.

For some reason, Xiaobai remembered when she first met Tirpitz, the person who mentioned that she liked to draw doujinshi about Bismarck.

In an instant, Tirpitz's earlier remarks about being familiar with comic conventions, having a staff-only passage, and cosplay suddenly came together.

Xiao Bai suddenly had a very bad feeling.

“Tirpitz…you…did you draw my sketchbook?” Xiaobai asked.

Tirpitz whistled and looked to the other side.

Please vote for me! My poor little author is about to be kicked off the new book charts...

Chapter 127 Not only did I draw your doujinshi, but I also made it into an anime!

The story begins when Xiaobai first arrived at the naval base.

Tirpitz doesn't just stay at home playing games; Xiaobai has seen several sets of drawing tools in the living room, hasn't he?

In reality, Tirpitz was an amateur artist, the kind who specialized in drawing small notebooks.

— I was still using Bismarck's notebook when uploading my work.

Fortunately, Bismarck was someone who, apart from surfing the internet and reading the news, couldn't even distinguish between her C drive and D drive, let alone Taobao. Otherwise, if she had accidentally discovered that her computer contained over 10 gigabytes of notebooks about herself, she might have been traumatized.

As an artist, Tirpitz has a delicate and beautiful art style, so she has quite a large audience in the community. In particular, she specializes in the ship girl theme, bringing this mysterious profession to the world of anime and manga, and has gained some fame in this field.

Tirpitz's most successful character is her sister, Bismarck.

Strong, brave, heroic, and beautiful, Bismarck is invincible on the battlefield, charming and lovely at home, and incredibly alluring at night. This successful character portrayal, coupled with the serialized updates, has brought Bismarck into the lives of many teenagers, making her an integral part of their adolescence.

However, for artists, once you become skilled at drawing and gain more followers, you will naturally become famous.

So recently, quite a few comic magazines have taken notice of Tirpitz's art style and her ability to serialize short comics, hoping that Tirpitz can publish a long-running manga about a ship girl as a comic artist.

—Not the 18+ kind, it's legitimate.

To be honest, this was a challenge for Tirpitz. As someone who had been drawing Bismarck's sketchbook for almost ten years, it had become her subconscious to depict Bismarck with a flushed face, completely naked, and uttering obscene and indescribable words.

There was no way to change it; the moment Tirpitz held the pen, he couldn't imagine what his sister looked like in her clothes.

Therefore, Bismarck's character could not go ashore.

However, having drawn Bismarck for ten years, it's really difficult to draw doujinshi of other characters all at once.

Like I said before, when I hold a pen, all I can think about is my older sister posing and making faces, and I can't draw anything else at all.

But as an artist, one always wants to show their work to others and receive praise. Since a publisher wanted to serialize her work, Tirpitz really didn't want to give up this precious opportunity.

While Tirpitz was sitting in the living room, half-asleep and watching TV, her older sister, who worked long hours and left early in the morning, returned with a new admiral.

That's Xiaobai.

When Tirpitz first saw Little White, he didn't think of him as the protagonist of the new comic.

Because Xiaobai was such an ordinary-looking girl at first glance.

She doesn't have a big chest, isn't tall, and her hair and eyes aren't colorful. She doesn't seem very strong or powerful. She is quite cute, but compared to the stunningly beautiful ship girls, her ordinary cuteness is always overshadowed.

This is the result of Tirpitz looking at things through the eyes of a painter.

But things always take a turn for the better.

The protagonist, after all, must have protagonist charm. Either he's a dragon-like overlord who treads the great path of heaven and earth and defies the heavens at the slightest provocation, or he's a sage who saves millions from suffering and shouts, "If I don't go to hell, who will?"

Although Xiaobai's personality isn't as distinct as the other two, it seems that the selling point of having a weak-willed boss could be a good one!

As for appearance, in the world of anime, looks are often vague. The difference between different characters by the same artist is often just a difference in hairstyle and eye color, so it doesn't matter!

Besides, Xiaobai's face isn't exactly a selling point, Tirpitz thought.

While the real-life Xiaobai may not be as beautiful as the ship girls who are all stunningly beautiful, she has great legs, which is a rare quality among short girls.

These days, people say you should look at a girl's legs first.

And most importantly, Xiaobai is right beside him. If Tirpitz forgets about people as soon as he picks up his pen, he can just sneak into Xiaobai's room and take a look at him.

As long as the sound is low enough, the sleeping Little White can still do whatever it wants.

And so Tirpitz began his creative journey from that time on.

Because she used to be an artist who drew incense sticks, the girls in her paintings always have a subtle erotic feel to them. This is especially true of the protagonist named Admiral created by Tirpitz. Although she has no breasts or buttocks, Tirpitz always uses extremely professional angles and poses, along with chance encounters and coincidences in life, to show off the beauty of her budding young body.

As for the storyline, Tirpitz isn't good at making up stories, but he doesn't need to worry about it too much. Drawing comics isn't like writing novels. As long as the art style is pretty enough, the plot and other things, like his daily life with cute girls, will still attract a lot of viewers.

Then the manga "Yuru Kantai Collection," based on himself and Shiro, was published.

—You probably won't believe it.

This comic is incredibly popular.

Tirpitz, the artist, became a popular artist within a week of the comic's release, a stark contrast to his past when he was only slightly known in a small circle of artists.

During that period, Tirpitz saw comments on her website that were mostly people begging her to draw some simple notebooks for beginners.

—It seems that quite a few people really can't resist the youthful yet mature allure of the admiral in their manga.

But that's just talk. Tirpitz really couldn't draw Bismarck's little notebook. When he picked up his pen, all he could think about was Bismarck. When he was drawing comics, if he forgot what Bismarck looked like, he could sneak into Bismarck's room to look at Bismarck's body. But when he was drawing a little notebook, he couldn't expect Tirpitz to go to Bismarck's room with bananas and eggplants.

— He would be killed by Bismarck.

Back to the comic, after the comic had been serialized for more than a month, Tirpitz received news that his comic was going to be adapted into an anime.

It seems to have become so popular that even grassroots organizations started crowdfunding for an animated adaptation, and then major publishers contacted Tirpitz hoping to collaborate with her.

It's the kind of contract where there's not enough length, but you sign a contract first and we can animate it later when there's enough length.

Tirpitz readily agreed and then chose the most capable publisher among them.

This publisher is really something; they released a preview just a few months later, the one that Xiaobai put on his head.

It seems that the trailer was carefully crafted. They understand that this comic isn't selling the plot, but rather the character designs, and they've gone to great lengths to showcase the cute and sexy side of the girls in the story.

—Now you understand.

Tirpitz came to Yuxiu this time because there was a comic convention there, and she wanted to see for herself how popular her work was.

As the author of the most popular moe manga right now, it's a piece of cake for Tirpitz to get an admission ticket.

"Tirpitz...you...did you draw my sketchbook?" Little White asked Tirpitz, trembling.

“I didn’t mean to hide it from you, actually… explaining it would take quite a bit of time,” Tirpitz replied. “Well… I guess you could call it drawing…”

Xiao Bai was breathing heavily, and her whole face turned red.

She swung her little fists and started punching Tirpitz's shoulders repeatedly.

Xiao Bai never imagined in his life that he would one day be drawn as the protagonist of a comic book.

"Oh, sorry..." Tirpitz turned his head to the side, letting Whitey punch his shoulder.

She wanted Xiaobai to come with her to the comic convention because she wanted to be honest about this.

It does have a bit of a "do it first, ask questions later" feel to it.

The photographers taking pictures of the two didn't seem to notice. Firstly, Xiaobai and Tirpitz had been talking too quietly, and the men, engrossed in photography, hadn't heard them. Secondly, they thought Xiaobai and Tirpitz were posing for a photoshoot.

After dealing with the group of photographers, Xiaobai and Tirpitz ignored the passersby and other photographers who were also witnessing their superb cosplay and slipped away to a quieter place.

"Don't worry, it's a little book, but it's a very innocent one. There won't be any plots like your sister's," Tirpitz explained to Xiaobai after seeing that not many people were watching her and Xiaobai anymore.

Xiao Bai is currently in a phase of questioning the meaning of life.

"...Let me see." Little White no longer believed Tirpitz's words.

She wanted to see for herself what Tirpitz had actually done to her (in the notebook).

"Oh? Little White, you've awakened?" Tirpitz thought Little White had come to understand him.

"No!" Little White swung his hand and slammed it at Tirpitz.

The venue was large, and given that Yuru Kantai Collection is indeed a very popular series, it was easy to find places selling Yuru Kantai Collection merchandise and art books.

Tirpitz had originally planned to buy one as well.

After paying, Tirpitz handed Shiro a copy of the manga "Swaying Ship Girls".

Because of its short serialization period, this manga currently only has one collected volume.

The comic book seller, seeing these two incredibly accurate cosplayers come to buy the Yuru Kantai Collection character, simply gave them a free ticket.

According to the boss, he also really likes this comic. Since you've all cosplayed characters from this comic, it proves your love for it, so I definitely won't charge you.

Xiao Bai had no words to express his suffering.

What are you cosplaying for? This is a proper military uniform.

But at this point, Xiaobai can't very well say that he is the prototype of the comic, or people will think he's an idiot.

She accepted the comic book that Tirpitz handed her.

"Is this... my manga...?" The hand holding the manga felt unexpectedly heavy.

Xiaobai opened the comic book.

The first page features a close-up of a girl who looks a lot like me, wearing only a loose shirt with her lower body bare, revealing two beautiful long legs, carefully tying her hair into a ponytail in front of a mirror.

No, no, no, no, shameless!!!

I...I ...

Xiaobai had an urge to close the comic, but the thought that Tirpitz might secretly draw some embarrassing scenes behind his back drove him to continue reading out of curiosity.

The entire comic consists of the cute daily lives of female admirals and ship girls. However, due to various coincidences, such as a fall on the road or a robot with white wings falling from the sky, the characters often reveal most of their skin and strike various alluring poses.

It's not a notebook, but it's better than a notebook.

Especially the character based on himself, it seems the author knows very well that the selling point is the admiral. In almost every episode, the admiral is attacked and pinned down by various ship girls for various reasons, and then his pants are pulled down, revealing a pitiful look that makes me feel sorry for him.

I'm not that slutty!

No one would read this lousy comic!

Xiaobai turned to the last page.

"Animation adaptation, decided."

The first week after the product launch ended yesterday, and I perfectly achieved the promise I made to my fans: 6000 sales per day for the first week!

Starting today, I will begin repaying the debts previously owed as bounties.

I calculated that I owed a total of 17 chapters, and I paid back 5 chapters before the book was published.

If I keep updating with 6000 words every 12 days, I'll be clean!
