Chapter 34: The Admiral's Big Deal
Watching everyone leave the living room and enter the bedroom, the originally lively living room became empty. Mutsu wanted to get up from his seat several times and follow everyone into the bedroom.
Since no one made the decision, Mutsu, you are fine, you are acquitted, you can get up. Mutsu didn't dare to get up from her seat casually. After all, she had committed such a serious crime, it would be better to keep a low profile for the time being. She only dared to secretly glance in the direction of the corridor, thinking that everyone must have reached the bedroom now.
"Okay, everyone's gone. It's okay for now. You can get up now."
A familiar voice came over, Mutsu turned around and saw his sister appeared from nowhere and was standing not far away.
Mutsu was still a little worried and asked, "You'll let me go so easily?"
"How else?" Nagato said, "Can we hang you upside down on a tree, whip you with a whip soaked in salt water, and feed you to the crows? Or put you in an oil barrel, fill it with cement, and sink it to the bottom of the sea? Or throw you into the sea and let everyone use you as a target."
Even though she was her younger sister, Nagato couldn't help but frown. Or rather, it was because she was her younger sister, otherwise she wouldn't bother to care about so many things. Nagato said unhappily, "You are such a grown-up , don't you know what you can and can't do?"
"I admit defeat. I lost. I admit defeat." Mutsu said, "Every failure makes me wiser. I will never let them get caught next time."
"Do you want to do it next time?"
"Of course." Mutsu said as a matter of course, "I didn't have any experience this time. I didn't expect that there would be so many people in the pub. A bunch of people can't stand others doing well, especially... it must be those guys. They like to stir up trouble the most and look for opportunities to make them suffer. Anyway, next time I will invite the admiral to be my guest alone, and I can do whatever I want then."
"Didn't you just pledge your integrity and conscience?"
"I'm just saying... How much does personality and conscience cost per pound?"
"You really don't know your mistake." Nagato tapped his forehead lightly.
"I was just urging him to drink, not forcing him to drink. The admiral should know his alcohol tolerance. He didn't have to drink, but since he did, he must have been prepared. You're exaggerating. This is consensual, and it's fundamentally different from sleeping tea, kidnapping, drugs, etc." Mutsu said, "I don't know I'm wrong. I just admit that I didn't think it through this time."
"You, you, you——" Nagato clenched his fists, "You are such a slut."
"Sister, you are also a marriage ship." Mutsu glanced at Nagato and said only that one sentence, and everything was said without words.
Nagato remained silent.
Mutsu looked towards the corridor again and said, "They all went to my room, right? Should we go check it out too?"
Nagato said coldly, "Are you sure you want to go?"
Mutsu smiled awkwardly and said, "Forget it. I think we shouldn't offend them for the time being."
If the admiral is next to you, you must pay attention to your image, whether it is gentle, cold, noble, elegant, a lively girl, a Japanese beauty, or a perfect wife... Otherwise, once the image is destroyed, it will be difficult to rebuild it again.
But at this time the admiral was drunk and asleep, and he was surrounded by partners and competitors who knew him well, so he didn't need to worry too much about his image.
Just as people generally associate congressmen with being tall, elegant, and proud, there are many fights among congressmen in the parliament, with punches, kicks, and shoes thrown, and women are more aggressive than men. Although they are all well-known figures in the garrison, now they are wary of each other and guard against each other regardless of their image. You can look, but you can't touch. No one can make a move on the admiral.
No one thought this was a big deal. A mere admiral was nothing special. It was too ugly for a group of people to fight over a man, so they chose to quit. There is a saying that can well describe the mentality of the crowd - although the country is big, every inch of land must be fought for.
Some people are more radical, some are more introverted. Some see a glimmer of hope and work hard, while others don't stop until they see the rabbit. The woman with short silver-gray hair couldn't stand the silence first and spoke first: "We can't let the admiral stay here. I'll ask someone to take the admiral away to rest. That's it."
"Where do you want to take the admiral?" The blonde woman with a majestic bust and the woman with short silver-gray hair obviously didn't get along, and her tone was sarcastic.
"The Admiral doesn't have a house right now, so send him to my place to rest for now . We can discuss other matters after he wakes up."
"Do you have the nerve to let the admiral live in your shabby place?"
"Why is my place broken?"
"Given your personality, I suspect the blanket you're covering yourself with is one of those military blankets that's as hard as iron."
"If that's the case, it's better than your gaudy, pretentious, ostentatious rooms. Red carpets, frescoed ceilings, all kinds of decorations, huge red velvet beds. Do you really think you are kings, princes, and dukes?"
"Better than a pirate cat, anyway."
"Okay, stop arguing." Lexington interrupted and scolded. At the same time, he saw the black-haired woman move to the side of the admiral from the corner of his eye. "Akagi, I remind you again, don't always think about doing small things."
The black-haired woman was not embarrassed at all. She slowly withdrew her hand and walked aside as if nothing had happened.
Lexington glanced at the admiral sleeping in the bed, wondering why so many things had happened, even though they had been out for less than an hour. She said, "You only know how to rob the admiral... In my opinion, the admiral should be allowed to rest in his current condition, instead of being taken to you or her."
Everyone was silent. They were not unreasonable people, they just didn't think about that. Then they came to their senses and realized that this was not the time to argue, and the admiral was not an object.
Everyone was on their guard and no one paid much attention. Mutsu actually didn't leave. She hid in the corridor outside the door and peeked into the room. Seeing that everyone fell silent after Lexington's words, she nodded secretly. Lexington was indeed quite capable, and it wasn't just because he joined the garrison earlier.
Yes, generally speaking, big guys can’t talk too much, and can’t speak too early, otherwise they will lose face if they are questioned. They must wait until the critical moment to stand up and strike a fatal blow, just like the current situation, so that they can successfully establish their prestige.
Seeing that everyone stopped talking, Lexington said, "The admiral can't be moved now, so let him rest here. Of course, we can't leave him to Mutsu. One of us must stay here to guard the admiral and take care of him when needed."
The blonde knight said, "Let me do it. I will protect the sleeping princess."
The blonde with a magnificent bust smiled and said, "And then wake up the sleeping princess with a kiss, right?"
The blonde knight said without hiding her feelings: "I'm looking forward to it."
The blonde woman with a magnificent bust said expressionlessly, "Take turns on duty, one hour each, and the admiral will wake up soon."
"Then who goes first and who goes second?" asked the woman with short silver-gray hair.
The first person on duty can take the opportunity to do something, and anyone else will fall behind if they take any action .
Lexington said, "You can divide it up however you want. I'll be the last one."
"No, I'll take the loss. I'll be the last one." The person who spoke was a black-haired woman. She looked at Lexington with a fake smile and said, "Do you think you are the only smart person in the garrison?"
"What does Akagi-sister mean?"
"Do you really need your sister Akagi to explain it clearly?"
The last person on duty has the greatest chance of watching the admiral wake up, thus leaving a good impression in the admiral's eyes.
Lexington remained calm: "I don't understand what you are saying."
Mutsu was eavesdropping, and she also figured out what was going on, secretly smacking her tongue. To be honest, if it weren't for Akagi's words, she would have been in trouble.
Lexington is great, but Akagi isn't bad either. Is this what they call a match made in heaven? You think you can do whatever you want just because you got to the tutelary . I call you "Madam". You think you are so great. Everyone is a wedding ship. We are competing on the same stage now. This is a tutelary fort where many heroes are competing for supremacy.
Lexington and the black-haired Akagi stared at each other.
The blonde woman with a magnificent bust, the blonde knight girl, and the woman with short silver-gray hair refused to give in to each other.
Apart from the above few people, their conflicts were more prominent, and the others watched coldly. Of course, just because they didn't speak up, it didn't mean they could accept the unfair treaty. In this way, everyone wanted to compete for the first place, or the last place, and no one could convince anyone else.
In the end, no one could convince anyone else. It was not appropriate for all of them to stay here, and the admiral had to take care of it alone.
In the entire garrison, apart from those ignorant little girls, there was only one person... The younger sister was almost the best among the sisters. As expected, the older sister was still the best. She was good at taking care of people and... it was better to say that she was omnipotent. As a wedding ship, she didn't have any extra thoughts and was trusted by everyone.
