Shipgirls and Salted Fish Commander, Port Survival Guide

"Uh, are you alright?" Qianwei was startled, and Jingsu was also startled by her reaction after being startled, so she quickly asked with concern.

"I, well, I'm fine, Commander, is there something you need?" Vanguard hurriedly calmed himself down. Fortunately, it was nighttime and the lights were dim, so Jing Su couldn't see his performance clearly.

"It's nothing serious, I just noticed you were spacing out and I was worried you weren't feeling well," Jing Su replied with a smile. *Isn't it true that you can't see anything at night? My dear Qianwei~*

However, Jing Su did not bring it up.

"Oh, Commander, what you said really startled me, haha~" Realizing that Jing Su had clearly seen his dazed expression, the Vanguard became even more embarrassed and quickly changed the subject, "My body is very healthy, I'm not afraid of wind or sun, I won't get sick~"

That's true. Ship girls are much healthier than ordinary people. However, even though they are healthier, ship girls can still get sick. For example, Amagi from Sakura Empire is a sickly girl. When she doesn't deploy her ship equipment, she is quite weak. If she doesn't take care of her health, she can easily catch a cold or fever.

However, ship girls recover relatively quickly, and there's not much of a problem even without medication. If it really gets too bad, they can deploy their ship equipment and use up some resources to get through it. Of course, it's not worth wasting resources on something like this, so it's best to be mindful of it in daily life.

"Commander, the setup is almost complete, come over quickly." After a few casual words, my phone vibrated; it was a message from Fok Hee.

"Let's go see a movie!"

Chapter 192 What should you do if I do this?

Why did it turn out like this?!

Standing beside the sofa, holding a fruit platter, Fuxi looked at the destroyers playing and frolicking on the sofa, feeling like crying but having no tears.

It turned out that just as Fuxi was about to take advantage of the opportunity to arrange the seating order, he was informed that several destroyers had already occupied the seats next to Jing Su.

Although she was very frustrated, what's done is done, and Fuxi had nothing to say. If it were just the Royal Navy's ship girls, it wouldn't be so bad, and she could still do something sneaky later. But she didn't expect that it was her own ship girls who started it, so she really had nothing to say.

At first, everyone was able to watch the movie normally, but the situation on site quickly changed, and no one could understand it anymore.

When it comes to movies, the atmosphere is everything. To better enjoy a movie, you draw the curtains, turn off the lights, and make it pitch black except for the light from the projector.

Thinking about it this way, doesn't it create a fantastic atmosphere?

So when Fuxi suggested turning off the lights to watch a movie, Jingsu thought for a moment and agreed immediately, since she found that what he said made sense.

When arranging the seating, since the seats to Jing Su's left and right were already taken, Fu Xi simply moved a large sofa over. Jing Su sat in the center, with the two destroyers on either side. As for Fu Xi herself, well, even though the banquet was over, she was still dressed as a butler.

As a butler, isn't it only natural to stand behind the master and personally prepare to serve him?

Therefore, it was only natural for Bok-hee to position herself behind Kyung-su. From this position, Bok-hee could easily put her arms around Kyung-su's neck and whisper in his ear whenever she wanted.

Fuxi had done her homework for today. There's this ASMR thing online that seems pretty popular. Fuxi thought her voice was pretty good, and if she spoke into Jing Su's ear, she'd definitely be able to make her beloved commander completely infatuated.

'Oh dear, the Commander's asleep. Looks like I need to get him to his room to rest quickly. How about this, you guys continue watching the movie here, I'll take care of the Commander.'

As the one who personally carried out the whispers, Fuxi could know Jing Su's condition immediately, and then she could take Jing Su away in the shortest amount of time. In this way, even if others wanted to do something, it would be too late. What's done is done. Don't be happy? Keep it to yourself!

So, after Fok-hee arranged the seating and turned off the lights remotely, the movie officially began.

The person looking for the movie is La Galisoni. Don't let her lively and energetic personality fool you; in many ways, she's quite reliable.

The movie that La Galisoni found is a very typical romance film. The plot is roughly about a man and a woman who are separated for some special reasons and then meet again. The woman is very happy, but the man has lost his memory. The story revolves around the events that happen between the man and the woman as he tries to recover his memory.

To be honest, the plot isn't particularly exciting, but the film's set design is classic, featuring various so-called romantic scenes, such as a beach at sunset, a brightly lit Ferris wheel, and a carousel.

The male lead suffers from amnesia, which the female lead is unaware of at first, leading to a misunderstanding. Simply put, the female lead seeks out the male lead to reminisce, but he doesn't recognize her and is chatting and laughing with other women. The female lead misunderstands this, thinking that they have abandoned her, and leaves in tears.

However, they all end with a happy family reunion.

As for La. Galisone, she does have some exciting movies to her name. After Jing Su disappeared, thanks to a certain money-grubbing cat named Chong Ying, a lot of exciting stuff started circulating in the port area.

There was once a legend in the port area that there was a mysterious group circulating within the port. This group was organized, and any ship girl who accidentally joined it would, within a few days, experience a phase of blank stares, flushed face, slurred speech, and constant fear.

In response, La Galisoni said that there is indeed such a group, but different people can see different things when they join. It's all up to fate. Anyway, she found a lot of "good things" in this group.

As the movie's plot unfolds, Fuxi prepares to take action. From the very beginning of the film, she has been closely monitoring Jing Su's movements. Once she confirms that Jing Su's attention is focused on the movie, Fuxi can no longer hold back.

One step, two steps, one point, two points.

Closer, closer and closer to the commander.

Oh, I just saw it! That smooth hair, hmm!

Why does the commander's hair feel so silky smooth?

Sensing something was wrong, Fuxi immediately withdrew her hand, pretending to look at her phone. Using the light from the phone, she looked at Jing Su's side, and then her eyes widened.

"You, you all, how could you!" Fu Xi was furious. How could you do this? I worked so hard to set this up, and you have no sportsmanship!

It turns out that Fuxi was already the one who moved very slowly. As early as the beginning of the movie, some ship girls couldn't contain their excitement and started to touch her all over.

The first to act were not Vauquelan or Javelin, who were sitting closest to the camera; both girls were in a state of mental paralysis at the moment.

It's very simple.

'Wow, the Commander is right beside me! The Commander is really here! I'm so excited, so shy, so... Should I do something? No, no, what if I upset the Commander? But I really want to do something...'

Then, caught in endless agonizing indecision, the two little ones transformed into steampunk beauties, their faces flushed, their eyes fixed on the movie, unsure of what to do.

Unyielding's attention was completely focused on the delicious food. To some extent, this girl was surprisingly easy to satisfy. Give her a snack, and she could eat it all day long.

La Galisoni was chosen for her movie choice, and was considered the most threatening by Foch, so she was assigned the furthest spot. She was currently watching the movie with a sullen expression.

Yes, the hair that appeared next to Jing Su was a trendy golden hairstyle.

As a high-ranking member of the Royal Navy, the secretary ship of the port, Jing Su's wedding ship, and a successful riser, Vanguard doesn't care what Foch arranges. Logically and emotionally, I can still be close to the Commander. And now, Foch, you've even set up such a wonderful, romantic scene for me. Hmm, thank you~

So, when the movie had just started, less than ten minutes in, Qianwei moved closer to Jing Su. To be precise, Qianwei moved another sofa over next to Jing Su. Although Javelin and Vauquelan, the two destroyers, were indeed sitting next to Jing Su, there was no one behind Jing Su.

Fuxi? What Fuxi? Oh, you mean that girl in the back who's lost in thought and doesn't seem to know what she's thinking? Hmm, since she's dressed as a butler, she can just stand there. Commander, here I come, hehe.

So when she felt the trendy, smooth arms wrap around her neck, Jing Su was genuinely startled and almost jumped off the sofa.

Fortunately, at the last moment, he managed to control himself through sheer willpower. Just as Jing Su was about to react, he smelled a light jasmine fragrance, a scent that Jing Su was familiar with—Qian Wei's favorite perfume.

Jing Su has an exceptionally sharp nose, and her ability to distinguish scents is unparalleled. Jing Su reckons that if she hadn't been unaware of the market in her previous life, with her talent, she could have easily become a master perfumer.

Knowing that Qianwei was behind her, Jing Su originally wanted to turn around and say something to her, but was stopped by Qianwei's murmur.

'Commander, you smell so good! I've never tried this pose before. Don't move, or I'll poke your eyes out!'

Since Qianwei has said so, what can Jing Su do?

Of course I'll satisfy her; after all, she's my wife.

Actually, in other situations, Qianwei might not dare to do these things. Don't be fooled by her occasional silly remarks and overly dramatic comments; in reality, she is quite easily embarrassed.

If Fuxi hadn't turned off all the lights in the room to make sure no one else could see him, Qianwei really wouldn't have dared to do this.

Although there is a projector, the projector light is actually very dim. The whole room is darkened with the curtains drawn, eliminating all light sources, so that you can only watch the projector with a slight sense of light. It's not that Fuxi doesn't want to find a better projector, but this thing has its limits. Any brighter and it just doesn't feel right.

Moreover, Fuxi had planned to do some things she wanted to do under the dim light, but she was really conflicted at the crucial moment. After all, it was something she was doing secretly, and what if Jing Su didn't like it?

Unexpectedly, my hesitation allowed the avant-garde to get there first.

As for Qianwei, she didn't know why she suddenly became so bold. Perhaps it was just as the saying goes: the atmosphere had been built up to this point, and it wouldn't be appropriate not to do something.

The saying "being moved by a scene" perfectly describes this situation.

There's a scene in the movie where the protagonist has amnesia, and the female lead doesn't know it. She thinks the protagonist is dating another woman and is heartbroken. I never want such a plot to happen to me.

In her opinion, if you like someone, you should be bold and take the initiative. She doesn't want misunderstandings or regrets. Just thinking about those things makes her heart ache. She's already experienced being separated from the commander once, and she absolutely, absolutely doesn't want to go through that again.

Even if it's just a fleeting thought, I don't want to. I like someone, I like them, I want to be together, I want to be together forever. Being with the Commander makes the Mind Cube feel at ease, makes me happy, and makes me very joyful.

Then, I wanted to be together even more and didn't want to be apart. I hate separation and the like.

It was precisely because he understood this that Qianwei went ahead without hesitation—no, rather, with righteous indignation? Even that didn't seem quite right. In any case, Qianwei decided to face his feelings head-on. What did it matter if others saw them? If you like someone, you like them. What's there to be shy about?

"Wow, I guess I'm still shy. I actually made it! These are the Commander's ears. They're unexpectedly cute. I really want to decorate them according to my own ideas. Was Sirius influencing me?"

Waaah, what am I thinking? This strange sense of transgression, waaah, it's so exciting, my mental cube is on fire!

As he thought about it, Qianwei felt his eyes getting blurry; he had mosquito coil-like eyes, that's exactly what he was like.

"Ah, Vanguard, bring out your heroic figure that you dominated on the battlefield! You're the commander's wife, the wife who's done all those shameful things. What's so immoral about that? Isn't it only natural for a wife to be intimate with her beloved husband?"

Yes, that's right, there's nothing wrong with what I'm doing.

Huh? Who touched my hair?

Just as the avant-garde was in a state of self-doubt, he suddenly felt someone tiptoeing towards his hair, and instantly, he became completely awake.

Former Detective Wei immediately put his clever little brain to work. He knew that Vauquelan and Javelin were sitting next to the Commander, La Galisoni was next to Vauquelan and was occasionally stealing glances at the Commander, while Unyielding was sitting next to the sofa, holding a bowl of snacks and enjoying them.

So, the case is solved! The one who touched my hair was...

'Heh, is this what you call the Royal Army? Saying one thing and doing another, is this your code of chivalry? Where is your honor, my dear Vanguard lady?' Just as he was about to unleash a torrent of abuse on Foch, he unexpectedly heard a rhythmic tapping sound.

This is Morse code!?

'Fine, you actually mocked me?' How could this avant-garde guy tolerate it? He quickly grabbed Jing Su's hair and started shaking it rhythmically as well.

"I wonder who tried to sabotage me, but ended up losing more than they gained. Instead of getting a good position, they resorted to underhanded tactics. Which shameless bastard was touching my hair? Where is your chivalry?"

"You!" Fuxi was furious, truly enraged. This bastard actually touched the Commander's hair right in front of me! I haven't even touched it yet! Let go of that hair, let me have it!

Feeling the fury on his back, the vanguard said, "It's exhilarating! Not only is it exhilarating, but I want to go even further. This is a great victory for me, a great victory for the Royal Camp!"

Faced with this situation, Fuxi was very angry, but also helpless.

There's nothing I can do but feel helpless. Who told me to hesitate for a moment and let others get there first? What can I do now? Pick up the vanguard and then take my turn?

Hmm, it seems pretty good, but doing this would be an insult that would create enmity. Not to mention that I don't have such a big grudge against the Vanguard, we are sisters from the same port. Although I do not like the Royal faction because of historical reasons, there is no need to be so disgusting.

Besides, if we really did that, what would the commander think? We would have to consider his feelings.

'No, I'm still angry. I can't just let this go. Let me think about how to handle this. Ugh, that damn forward-thinking guy beat me to it! I'm not having it!'

'Heh heh, you got there first, now I'll do this and see how you react~'

Chapter 193 How Should We Share a Room?

Foch's solution was very simple: Who said you're the only one who can sit next to the commander? This place belongs to my Vichy Church ship, I set up the venue, I organized the meeting, and yet you're the one who gets the closest to the commander?

Let go of that commander, let me handle this!

So, Jing Su, who was focused on watching the movie, suddenly felt a soft touch on her shoulder.

'This aura...it's Fuxi!?'

As mentioned earlier, Jing Su has a very keen sense of smell and quickly detected a scent different from the avant-garde one. If the avant-garde one is a light jasmine fragrance, then Fu Xi's scent is a slightly stronger woody note that is not irritating and smells very pleasant.

If Qianwei simply wrapped his arms around Jingsu's neck without actually doing anything, then Fuxi went straight to the base, reaching over Qianwei's head and placing her hands directly on Jingsu's shoulders, starting to massage.

This position put Qianwei in an awkward position. Being held down by Fuxi, Qianwei felt awkward whether he moved or not, but he still got angry.

As a dignified colored battleship, the undisputed main force ship girl of the port, she was actually suppressed by a light cruiser. Where would she put her face if word got out?

Therefore, the avant-garde decided to rise up and resist!

So what if you're Fuxi? Giving the Commander a massage, taking advantage of my current position where I can't do anything else, huh? Hmph, even though my hands are immobilized, I still have my mouth, 'I'll bite!'

"Hiss~" Jing Su suddenly shuddered.

"Um, Commander, what's wrong?" Jing Su's sudden action startled Javelin, whose attention was also focused on him. Javelin asked worriedly.

"Cough cough, it's nothing, I was just thinking about some rather exciting things." Jing Su quickly reassured him. Was this a scene for a child to see?

However, given Javelin's physique, he can't strictly be considered a child.

"Oh~" Javelin drawled, blinking a few times, but didn't say anything else. Actually, Javelin had been thinking about how to get closer to Jing Su. Originally, in her plan, sitting next to Jing Su should have been easy. Unexpectedly, although she was physically close to Jing Su, it was a bit troublesome to take it a step further.

Javelin was hoping to find an opportunity to sit directly in Jing Su's lap, but unexpectedly, there was actually a La Galisoni sitting next to her, which made many of her actions impossible.

'Hmm, the commander's embrace must be so warm~' Javelin began to daydream as she looked at Jing Su's legs together.

'Hehe, my dear Javelin-chan, would you like to sit on my lap?'

'Oh dear, Commander, this is so embarrassing~'

'How could that be? What is shyness? Can it compare to my affection for you, the javelin? Come on, sit down.'

'Since the Commander has said so, well then~ Here I come, Commander~'

'Hehe, so this is the javelin's body? It's really flexible! Come on, let me take a good look and see if the javelin has grown over the years~'

'Eek, Commander, don't do that! It's embarrassing! Waaah, not there, not there!'

"Javelin, Javelin sister? Are you alright?" Just as Javelin was rubbing her legs together, a soft voice rang out, interrupting Javelin's reverie.

"Huh!?" Javelin suddenly opened her eyes, and when she realized what she had just been doing, her face turned bright red. Fortunately, the lighting was dim, so she didn't have to worry about being noticed.

The speaker was Bu Qu. She had been sitting on the floor, eating snacks and watching a movie. If you were to ask who in the whole room was the most innocent, it would probably be her and Vauquelan.
