Shipgirls and Salted Fish Commander, Port Survival Guide

"When have I ever kept things to myself? Warspite, I'll sue you for defamation!" Jing Su, momentarily speechless at Warspite's words, glared fiercely at Warspite.

"Hehe, Commander, I'm not trying to be mean, but you know what? You always have a lot of ideas, but you never say anything. Every time we're together, you're always thinking about this and that, hesitating. Be a man!" Warspite seemed to have had some alcohol, or perhaps something had touched her. In any case, Warspite put down her teacup and leaned directly on Jing Su, looking at him with a sullen expression.

"Warspite, are you drunk?" Jing Su said helplessly, wanting to pull Warspite off her, but then she felt that Warspite did seem to have a point.

Yes, just as Warspite said, Jing Su has always been troubled by many things and prone to overthinking. To paraphrase La Galisoni, 'Commander, everyone loves you, what are you worried about? We don't care, so why are you? Be a man, go and fight with your head held high!'

What Yanzhan said about having too many thoughts was actually a complaint against Jing Su. Everyone's feelings for you are so sincere, yet you can be like a block of wood. If others don't move, you really don't move either!

Does this kind of embarrassing thing always have to be initiated by the girl? It's so embarrassing!

Ship girls are girls too, and they can easily become shy.

Actually, to some extent, this is a difference in mindset. For Jing Su, it's not that he doesn't want to take the initiative, but that things are developing too fast. From the time he transmigrated until now, it's only been two months. To put it bluntly, there are still many things he hasn't figured out yet. And the ship girls are all such excellent and beautiful girls. When the two of them are together, it's easy for him to feel inferior.

As for the ship girls, they felt that the most crucial factor in Jing Su's reluctance to take the initiative was that he was too much of a so-called gentleman. Because Jing Su was from the Eastern Huang culture, many ship girls had personally gone to the Eastern Huang camp's base to seek advice from Yi Xian on how the Eastern Huang culture considered relationships. The answer they received was—mutual support and heartfelt confessions, in short, a concept of love that is inseparable.

Of course, that's not what the ship girls want to know. Mutual support is something any ship girl can do. Or rather, who should put their commander in such a predicament? In the vast Dawn Port, all the ship girls will blast you into molecular fragments.

What the ship girls really wanted to know was Jing Su's views on marriage. You see, monogamy is absolutely outdated and unacceptable in Dawn Port. Anyone who dares to bring it up will be buried alive.

Even the practice of one husband with multiple wives is unacceptable. Since each faction is very powerful and an important part of the Dawn Port, it is a consensus in the port to stick together with Jing Su. Even ship girls like Akagi and Roon, who are extremely dissatisfied with this, can only mutter a few words and complain when faced with this trend. They are not capable of resisting.

Let alone taking action, just saying harsh words will get you dealt with by the person in charge of your own camp.

Admittedly, having a commander all to yourself is every ship girl's wish, but unfortunately, that's not possible in Dawn Port. Since that's not possible, at the very least, we must ensure that every married ship is equal in status; that's the bottom line.

In fact, the ship girls' theoretical basis is quite reliable. What you said makes a lot of sense, and I agree with it. But we ship girls are not human. What do your human ethical values ​​have to do with us?

For each of the ship girls, they passionately declared: "Today, I'm going to get close to the Commander! Who objects? Who agrees?!"

Therefore, the ship girls were very angry about Jing Su's hesitation. We girls don't care, so why are you, a grown man, agonizing over this?

This was also a precious time that Warspite specifically wanted to spend alone with Jing Su, so she specially set aside some time to explain this matter to Jing Su. The front line is not like a single garrison; it is much more complex in terms of both the number of ship girls and the composition of factions.

Most importantly, ship girls who are stationed on the front lines for a long time are either powerful enough to maintain their faction's influence, such as the Royal Navy's feud with Cheshire, or they miss Jing Su too much and want to numb themselves through battle, such as Enterprise.

Ron is not included. Ron is a pure battle maniac. Whether Jing Su is there or not, she will stay at the front line and fight like crazy. However, if Jing Su is at the front line, she will leave after get off work and find an opportunity to drag Jing Su into her room for another kind of battle.

In other words, no matter how powerful a ship girl is, or how much she misses Jing Su, if Jing Su continues with this passive and non-rejecting attitude, trouble will ensue.

When the other ship girls saw that Jing Su could easily take over if she took the initiative, things went completely chaotic. Every ship girl would be thinking of sneaking into Jing Su's room. As a result, Jing Su would be completely controlled by those powerful ship girls. What would happen to the remaining, less powerful ship girls? Would they just stand by and watch helplessly?

Therefore, Zhan Yan pretended to be drunk to explain this matter to Jing Su, both openly and subtly.

It's not because I'm worried that if I go to the front lines, other ship girls who are stronger than me will take away all my chances to get close to Jing Su!

"I understand now, Warspite. So, my past behavior caused you so much distress? Thank you for enlightening me. I know what to do now." Looking at Warspite in her arms, breathing evenly and seemingly lost in a sweet dream, Jing Su sighed softly and said self-deprecatingly.

He even said he wanted to make the ship girls happy again, but in the end, he only made these girls who cared about him sad.

'I'm really a piece of trash~'

Jing Su originally thought that it was not good to just stand there like a block of wood and wait for the ship girls to take the initiative. She decided that she should take the initiative this time, and right now there was a good choice - Warspite lying in her arms.

As a veteran of the port area, Warspite has been a ship girl who has been with him for a long time. Jing Su clearly remembers that when he first started playing in the exercises, the battleship he used was Warspite. However, later Jing Su treated the exercises as a leveling ground that did not consume fuel, so he withdrew Warspite.

But no matter what, Warspite has been with me for a long time, and I do like Warspite's cute appearance.

'War-weary, I didn't expect you to have such a good figure despite your small stature~' Jing Su muttered.

"!!!"

As soon as Jing Su finished speaking, the sleeping body of Warspite suddenly trembled. However, because the movement was too fast and Jing Su was thinking about something else, she only felt a slight abnormality.

"Huh? Did Warspite move a little?" Jing Su muttered to herself again.

This time, Warspite's body showed no abnormalities; in fact, his breathing became more steady.

"Hmm, I was thinking of giving Warspite her first initiative, but since she's asleep, let's just forget about it. Hmm, the ship seems a bit unstable right now, so let Warspite rest here. She's had a tough time these past few days."

After saying that, Jing Su gently picked up Warspite, carefully placed it on the sofa, took off her coat, draped it over Warspite's shoulders, and prepared to leave.

"!!!!!!"

This is what it means to lift a stone only to drop it on your own foot.

War-weariness is so frustrating!

No, what do you mean I'm too tired? I'm not tired at all! Commander, don't go! Come back! What happened to our first time? You bad guy, you liar! Waaah!

Thinking about how she had missed a great opportunity because of a little bit of cleverness, Warspite wanted to cry, she really wanted to cry~ Her whole body was trembling~

'Never mind, Commander, we're almost at the front lines. I guess I'll just have to wait for you, you big blockhead, to take the initiative!'

"Finger~" Thinking of this, Warspite suddenly stood up. He had barely opened his mouth when his eyes widened.

It turned out that Jing Su hadn't gone far; she was standing next to the sofa, smiling as she watched Warspite.

"Hey, isn't this our little cutie who got drunk, Miss Warspite? What, you sobered up so quickly?" Jing Su took the initiative to speak when she saw that the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

However, it seems that this statement had the opposite effect.

Warspite appeared as if struck by lightning, turning into a wooden statue, standing frozen in place, its face flushed like the setting sun, spreading across its cheeks, neck, and behind its ears with a gentle blush.

"Wow, Commander, you, you, you, you actually, waaaah, you bad guy, you bullied me!" As soon as Jing Su finished speaking, Warspite stammered, then suddenly turned around, lay on the sofa, buried her head in Jing Su's coat, looking pitiful and extremely aggrieved, as if Jing Su had done something terribly wrong to her.

Actually, Warspite isn't a shy ship girl. When it comes to matters of the heart, Warspite is serious, meticulous, and quite bold.

It should be noted that Warspite considers himself an elder and, to some extent, is quite concerned about his reputation.

That's why Warspite was so embarrassed after Jing Su exposed her little scheme.

"Oh no, why did I have to speak up like that! How embarrassing, I'm so shy, what will the Commander think of me?"

Damn it, I really wanted to show off my charm in front of the Commander... Ugh, what am I going to do now?!

Clearly, even though War-weary considers himself mature, composed, and has a rigid and meticulous personality, he can still show a cute side when faced with something out of line.

"Ah, I heard a cute voice. Let me see what's coming from. Oh, it's Warspite. Warspite, how cute~" Seeing this scene, Jing Su felt her heart melt.

On ordinary days, War-weary always had a rigid and serious demeanor. Despite having a petite and cute figure, his behavior was like that of a true elder. Of course, according to the War-weary theory, he could indeed be called an elder.

But Jing Su felt that this look suited her quite well, just like the saying goes: "She's just so cute~"

"Commander, what are you saying?! This doesn't fit with me, um, it doesn't fit, it doesn't fit!" Hearing Jing Su say that she was cute, Warspite's face turned even redder, but she still forced herself to stay alert and argued with Jing Su.

I am clearly an elder, an elder!

“So, Warspite, you’re really cute~” Jing Su repeated.

"I... Ugh!!!" Just as Jing Su had predicted, Yan Zhan turned around to argue with Jing Su, but when he turned around, his eyes widened in shock.

Because, Jing Su was waiting on the path of Warspite's rise, and at the moment Warspite rose, the four soft pieces intertwined.

Two nimble snakes, waiting for their chance, sneaked into enemy territory, ready to deliver a fatal blow.

"War-weariness, you're right. I've always been too oblivious. Now, let me take the initiative for once."

Chapter 204 Honey, here I come!

"Honey~ Have you missed me? I'm coming to pick you up! We're going to have a wonderful night together tonight~ I've already prepared lots of green apple juice in the room, just waiting for you to come, Honey~"

"Ahem, um, Miss Garden, this is a public channel. These kinds of things, it really is..."

"Oops, wrong channel! But it's okay, Honey, wait for me, I'll be there soon~"

......

When Jing Su walked out of the room, holding up her belt, she found that her communicator was flashing incessantly, at a frequency that could easily be used as a siren in a police car.

The port area has its own independent communication software, which is said to have been developed by Akashi with the help of Navigator TB. Although the interface looks like a V-like communication and office software, its functions are actually quite powerful.

At least for Akashi, its functionality is definitely powerful.

After activating his account, Jing Su ignored the messaging app. This was Yi Xian's suggestion. According to Yi Xian, for Jing Su, this app was more of an office software, and using it solely for chatting would be beneath him.

In fact, Yi Xian's idea was that if the news of Jing Su opening an account spread, the other ship girls would go crazy and frantically contact Jing Su's account. Given Jing Su's personality, he would reply to even the most mundane daily greetings, which would greatly reduce Jing Su's time.

There's already not enough time to spend with Jing Su during the day. If Jing Su gets distracted by her phone, what will happen?

That is why, even after joining the Royal faction, Jing Su still rarely used her own account.

When the account was first activated, people were already frantically adding Jing Su as a friend. However, at that time, Jing Su simply activated the account and never logged in again.

The last time I logged in was when I was with Kewei. We were chatting, and I ended up having a private chat with Akashi.

"Speaking of which, did I talk to Akashi about anything back then? I can't quite remember."

Seeing the constantly flashing phone screen, Jing Su suddenly thought of something.

I was quite exhausted after working with Kewei for a while, and then I was dragged to do other things, so I forgot about it after a while.

When Jing Su tried to find the chat history again, she remembered that she had used a Vicious phone and it seemed to be a secret passage. She couldn't remember how she got in, so she had to give up.

The reason why no one has tried to chat with Jing Su through chat software during this period is, firstly, as mentioned earlier, Jing Su has almost never used chat software. Every day when she wakes up, she is either being dragged away by this ship girl to do things, or she is seen on the road by another ship girl and dragged into her room to do things. She simply doesn't have time to use it.

Another reason was that he was warned by the person in charge of his own port, who said that the commander had just returned and had many things to deal with, so he should not disturb him.

Therefore, for so long, no one has ever used the software to contact Jing Su, not even Ming Shi, who values ​​business opportunities the most.

This time, however, the ship girls couldn't hold back any longer. The Commander was finally coming to the front lines! Everyone had been eagerly anticipating this day. The thought of their beloved Commander finally arriving was incredibly exciting; who could suppress their inner turmoil? Not rushing to meet him was already a testament to their self-control!

"Holy crap, nearly a thousand comments? What the hell?" Jing Su's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets after a quick glance at the number of comments. How long had it been? The communication interface was completely empty when she left the comments, but now, Jing Su had been scrolling down for a whole minute and still hadn't reached the bottom.

The number of people wanting to add him as a friend exceeded the limit, and all that could be seen was 99+.

'This is too enthusiastic~' Seeing this scene, Jing Su felt both helpless and heartbroken, but no matter what, having a group of girls who care about her waiting for her is a happy thing.

'Um, is it happy?' At this thought, Jing Su suddenly shivered, turned her head to look behind her, and saw that Yan Zhan, who had just finished his work, was now fast asleep. Her scalp tingled.

'It doesn't seem like such a happy thing after all. One wrong move and I might lose my life here!'

Although my mind was a complete mess, the group chat was so lively that I had to say something, after all, I couldn't keep the ship girls waiting for too long.

"Ahem, well, we'll be at the designated spot soon. Thank you to the person who came to pick us up."

Typing, inputting, deleting.

......

At this point, Jing Su suddenly realized that she didn't know what to say. The messages in the group were coming one after another, mostly about what she should do after seeing the commander. There were also arguments, criticisms, and even people saying that she couldn't do it this way and that they would teach her.

Faced with such a lively scene, Jing Su was completely at a loss as to how to join in.

'Hiss, clearly, in my past life, I was also a master at chatting in groups. I could pick up any topic with ease, and no matter how off-topic it was, I could always ramble on and steer the conversation off-topic.'

But now, why don't I know what to say?

Perhaps it's because those topics have nothing to do with me.

Hehe, what nonsense! I just don't know how to face the ship girls~

Jing Su gave a wry smile. At a time like this, they're still bringing up these irrelevant things. Have they already forgotten what they just said to Warspite?

Open your phone and edit again:

"I'm back, heading to the front lines soon, looking forward to seeing you all~"

Love you all~

After writing it, I sent it, then turned off my phone and ignored it!

"Dong Dong Dong~"

Jing Su had barely tossed her phone onto the sofa for a minute when she heard a loud thud as people rushed down the stairs.

"Wow, my proud master, is the love you spoke of real? Oh, as expected of my proud master, you've finally revealed your feelings. Did you say it to Sirius?"

"Shall we do it here? I'm ready, my proud master, I'm coming right away~"

But then Sirius suddenly flung open the door, her face flushed, her eyes practically turning into hearts, as if she were about to pounce on Jing Su.

"Wait a moment!"

Unfortunately, before Sirius could make a move, a crisp voice interrupted her. It was Qianwei. Qianwei had said she was going fishing and would grill whatever she caught that night. Now it seemed that the fishing was over; she had been looking at her phone the whole time!

"Commander, ho ho, you've actually shown some rare courage! Not bad, not bad at all. As expected of the knight my vanguard has their eye on. Come, let's join hands and march towards a bright future!"

I, the Vanguard, swear on the pride of a Royal Knight, to always protect you~

With the same flushed cheeks and the same excited eyes, however, Vanguard was much stronger than Sirius. Although Sirius had arrived at the scene much earlier, Vanguard managed to drag him to the back, and even blocked the doorway.

"Hey, Commander, is what you said true?" Perseus's calm voice came from somewhere. Oh, it was from outside the window.

Wait, there's the ocean outside the window! How did you end up lying on it?!
