Shipgirls and Salted Fish Commander, Port Survival Guide

Hosho is the absolute elder of the aircraft carrier class, and the leader of the battleship class is not currently on the front lines. Therefore, the Sakura Empire ship girls on the front lines are led by Hosho.

Therefore, Fengxiang said that in order to stabilize the situation of the Sakura Empire camp at the front, she had no choice but to go to the front to pick up the people herself. After all, if any other ship girl were sent to pick them up, there would be people who would be dissatisfied. She had to go herself.

At least, that's what Fengxiang thinks.

"Is something wrong with those two?" Jing Su asked, following up on the topic.

"It's because you said there would be a banquet tonight, Comrade-chan. After seeing you, the two of them left the team and went back to the front line to change clothes. Oh, right, they both said they wanted to give you a surprise."

Comrade, this is a sugar-coated bullet from capitalism. Give the order to deprive them of the opportunity to attend the banquet. Everyone is on the same starting line, and they actually sneaked out!

Oh, by the way, Comrade, are you thirsty? I have some water here. In this sweltering summer heat, shouldn't you have a sip of the water of life? Don't worry, the alcohol content is absolutely top-notch; I personally selected it, it's definitely flammable!

Tons tons tons~

Whew!

Before Fengxiang and Giuseppe Garibaldi could speak, a purple-haired ship girl standing next to her, dressed in all white, wearing a cotton-padded long skirt, white stockings, snowball earmuffs, and tucking her hands in despite the sweltering summer heat, appeared.

Given her peculiar speech patterns, who else could it be but Tashkent from the Northern Union?

"Aren't you hot dressed like that?" For some reason, seeing the dazed Tashkent, Jing Su suddenly had an impulse: to lock the lovely Tashkent in a cell, make her wear a white shirt, a black skirt, and still have blood-white stockings on her feet, and then place plates of delicious snacks out of Tashkent's reach to tempt and toy with her.

Listen to her pitiful pleas and begs, and then eat the delicious food bite by bite!

'Hiss, why did I suddenly have such a thought!?' Clearly, Jing Su felt the corners of her mouth turn up, and she was immediately startled. How did she come up with such an evil idea?

However, considering that Dotashkent's seemingly confused exterior hides a terrifying intuition, if we really want to do this, we'd have to find a way to get her drunk. But getting a Northern Alliance ship girl drunk, isn't that a bit too difficult?

But that scene was really beautiful!

Just thinking about it makes my blood boil.

"Clothes? Hot? No way~ Tashkent clothes are very comfortable, Comrade, would you like a set?" Hearing Jing Su's words, Tashkent tilted his head and answered in a daze.

“Yes, Commander, it’s not hot at all wearing this.” Changchun, who was hugging Jing Su’s leg, suddenly interjected and said, “I had Taiyuan sew a breathable version. It’s very comfortable to tuck your little hands into the sleeves.”

"Is that so?" Jing Su smiled helplessly after hearing this. After all, wearing a cotton-padded coat in the middle of summer is really inconvenient.

"Greetings, Commander. Although it may be presumptuous of me, I think we really should head to the front lines immediately, otherwise we'll miss tonight's banquet."

Commander, you probably don't want your first appearance in front of the other ship girls to be late, right?

At this moment, the last ship girl, a gray-haired ship girl holding a small notebook, wearing a monocle and open-crotch leather pants, spoke in a serious tone.

Chapter 211 This is what family is all about

The ship girl speaking was Beaune from Iris Liberty, who represents the French faction. Originally, according to the management, there would also be Vichy ship girls coming to pick people up, but given that a certain Vichy ship girl had been causing trouble for Jing Su on the way, which displeased many big shots, they kept saying, "Didn't you Iris and Vichy declare unification?"

Now that they've unified, they're on the same side, so naturally only one person can be sent out.

The French ship girls were also helpless, since this was indeed a topic they had been raising, but they were only raising it to increase their influence in the port, not because they actually intended to do so.

However, many people within the French faction were unhappy about that Vichy ship girl who ran away without waiting for me!

So we just left it at that.

"They went back first? Why didn't they say anything?" Hearing Bei Yan's words, Jing Su felt a little embarrassed and quickly changed the subject, although he didn't know why he felt embarrassed.

“Commander, you’re busy, and they didn’t want to bother you, so they just left,” Beaune said quietly.

To be precise, if she hadn't yet met Jing Su, she would have wanted to run away immediately, because after a brief conversation with the Royal Navy ship girl, she realized that according to the original plan, there was no way she would make it back in time to attend the banquet.

Attending a dinner party here refers to choosing and putting on an outfit, not including the time spent on makeup.

Choosing clothes is already a slow process for girls, and even after choosing them, wearing them is a hassle. Makeup is an even bigger time-consuming activity.

Don't be fooled by their exquisite and beautiful appearance. Makeup is actually a rare skill in the port area. The ship girls are already very good-looking and don't need makeup to be beautiful. They also don't need to interact with the outside world much. Most of their interactions are on the battlefield, which is an even more unnecessarily unsuitable environment for makeup.

Of course, most importantly, the person in the port area who was worth their makeup is gone.

As a result, now that Jing Su is back, she suddenly says she wants to have a banquet. The ship girls are not prepared at all. They are looking forward to spending time with Jing Su, dreaming about where to go on a date, how to eat delicious food, and how to make it romantic.

In the end, it was discovered that all of the above problems had one major premise—how to win Jing Su over?

The banquet was a good opportunity, as Jing Su herself had admitted, but upon closer inspection, it seemed that the problem was no different; it simply became about how to win first place among a group of covetous ship girls.

Therefore, some makeup is still necessary.

Now, a new problem arises: not many of the ship girls know how to do makeup.

The ship girls can do simple things like applying eye makeup and lipstick; after all, these are, to some extent, a girl's natural skill. But more advanced techniques are not something everyone can do. Makeup is indeed a technical skill.

For a time, royal maids became highly sought-after. In the entire port area, they were undoubtedly the best at makeup.

For example, right now, even the dazed Sirius has been dragged away by Cheshire to get his makeup done.

Yes, don't let Sirius's natural clumsiness and awkwardness in cleaning fool you. She's a rare genius when it comes to makeup, something Kewei knows all too well. The pristine white dress she wore to attract Jing Su was put on with Sirius's help.

This is also why Béarn was in such a hurry. According to the port's tradition, the banquet usually starts at 8 p.m. and lasts for two hours. This is mainly because there is just enough time to go through all the procedures and then continue working in the room.

It's almost 4 PM now. In a total of four hours, even if the speedboat travels at full speed, it will be almost 6 PM by the time it gets back to the front reception area. That means that Beyan and the others only have about two hours to get ready.

With so little time, what can you possibly do? Even if you choose your outfit, you can't compare to the other ship girls who have spent so much time choosing theirs.

Especially after seeing that even some of the ship girls on the Royal Navy cruise ship were missing, she became even more anxious. She had finally managed to spend some quality time with Jing Su, but the anticipated time together didn't happen at all. Instead, she received news that the Commander had been taken to a room by the Ironblood Eugen.

Fortunately, the Royal Navy gave her a chance. For some reason, the Royal Navy's cruise ship seemed to have malfunctioned and could not operate for a while, which gave her the opportunity to persuade Jing Su to come to their ship.

As for the war-weary women, they were also helpless in the face of Béarn's suggestion. Although the fire in Plymouth did not damage the power room, it caused a fire that burned some critical circuits. Since it was not clear which parts of the circuits were burned, the damaged wires had to be found and replaced before any repairs could be made.

It is estimated that the investigation alone will take more than three hours. In other words, no matter how much the war-weary woman tries to deny it, she cannot get Jing Su to the front-line reception area on time by cruise ship, unless they take the speedboat on the cruise ship.

But Béain rejected the suggestion, saying he was worried that if trouble arose again, what would happen? A small boat is not like a big ship; if something happens, there's nowhere to run.

Because Plymouth had just caused such a commotion with the bombardment of the cruise ship, Warspite had no choice but to remain silent and refuse Béarn's proposal.

Seeing the solemn and aggrieved expression on Yanzhan's face, Jing Su quickly guessed what the group had been talking about. So, she quickly said, "We should hurry up and head to the reception area."

Upon hearing Jing Su's words, the war-weary man's expression clearly became listless. Although he had already guessed that Jing Su would agree to Bei Yan's proposal, he still felt very uncomfortable when he actually heard a clear instruction from Jing Su.

"I see, Commander, then let's hurry up..." Upon hearing Jing Su's words, Bea'en's face lit up with joy, and he quickly spoke up.

"Don't be in such a rush." ​​Before Bei Yan could finish speaking, Jing Su interrupted her, "We need to give others some time to prepare, don't we?"

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Warspite looked up abruptly, staring at Jing Su in disbelief.

"As I said, all the ship girls on the front lines have to come and participate. Since that's the case, we can't leave anyone out. Time is a bit tight, so here's the plan: half an hour. Beacon, could you please bring the ship over? As for the Royal Navy personnel, half an hour is all you have to do. Just pack up quickly and change your clothes when you get to the front lines."

Half an hour later, as soon as the boat arrived, we set off immediately!

"Beacon, may I ask you a favor?"

Finally, Jing Su walked quickly to Bei Yan'en, placed his hands on her ship girl, and said solemnly and earnestly.

"Since Commander, you've said so, then I... I can only do as you say." Jing Su's sudden action almost burned the mental cube of Beyarn. His brain went blank for a moment, and he was practically spitting out white smoke.

It wasn't that I was too shy, but rather that I was too excited. The thing I had been dreaming of and longing for had suddenly come true without any preparation. How could I not be excited?

Béarn is actually the kind of serious and meticulous ship girl who takes everything very seriously and gives people a sense of reliability. Even when facing Jing Su, Béarn remains serious and earnest.

She is the kind of ship girl who, after completing her daily tasks, can stand in front of Jing Su and allow him to see her 'Secret Ritual of Love'. Simply put, she is an avant-garde girl who is not unconventional, but serious and earnest, and delivers her chuunibyou lines in a very formal and serious manner.

Of course, strictly speaking, Béain is also a bit naive. Unlike the avant-garde type who is prone to getting carried away with chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) and then becoming embarrassed after saying those chuunibyou lines, Béain doesn't think there's anything wrong with what she said.

For example, the day Jing Su and Beyarn met at the pool, Beyarn got excited and wanted to get close to Jing Su. Jing Su suggested that such things should be done where no one was around, to which Beyarn nodded and said seriously, "As expected of the Commander, things that can't be done in public should be done where no one can see them. As expected of the Commander~"

Then they dragged Jing Su to a secluded place.

Shy? What is shyness? That emotion is completely foreign to Béarn!

However, since this was the first task Jing Su had given her after his return, and it was indeed related to her, and given Bei Yanen's serious and dedicated nature towards work, after Jing Su gave the order, Bei Yanen quickly deployed her ship equipment, jumped directly from the large hole in the captain's cabin onto the sea, and ran towards the speedboat.

"Are all the ship girls in Vichy this fierce?" Eugen couldn't help but chuckle at the sight.

Her voice immediately drew the attention of all the ship girls in the captain's cabin.

Of course, their eyes weren't very friendly either.

Despite the displeased looks from the crowd, Eugen knew exactly what they were unhappy about, but she would do the same thing again, as this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be with her beloved.

"Congratulations~" After a while, Warspite broke the silence first, saying quietly.

"Thank you." Eugen nodded in response. After all, the other party was a veteran ship girl of the port, as was she herself. In the early days of the port's development, Eugen had sortied far more times than Warspite.

In the early development of Dawn Harbor, Eugen Cleveland was in the front row, and Glorious Enterprises was in the back row. Regardless of the front or back row, there was always one person guarding the road and another facing the BOSS.

Therefore, Eugen actually had a good relationship with many veterans in the Royal Army.

"Alright, there's not much time left. Everyone hurry up and get ready. Warspite, I remember there's a supply point nearby. Have the people there come over and tow the ship to the supply point for repairs."

Then inform the others that they should meet on the deck in half an hour, and that they should be quick, travel light, and not waste time.

Sensing the tense atmosphere, Jing Su quickly gave instructions.

At this point, almost all the ship girls in the captain's cabin quickly left to pack their things, but Changchun and Eugen stayed behind.

Eugen staying is a given; she already has everything she wanted, so the outcome of the evening's banquet is irrelevant to her. Besides, she has already changed her clothes, so she can naturally stay in the captain's cabin.

Eugen had originally planned to flirt with Jing Su more during this time, but unexpectedly, Changchun from the Donghuang camp did not leave either.

"Hehe, little kid, why don't you go pack your things?"

Seeing Changchun still tugging at Jing Su's trouser leg and tugging at her clothes, pestering Jing Su to find her something delicious, Ou Gen was furious. Such a good opportunity had been ruined by a little girl.

"Oh, Aunt Eugen, this outfit is fine for the banquet. I've already told the Commander that he's taking me out to play tomorrow." Changchun answered Eugen's question seriously.

"Ah, Auntie!?" Eugen didn't have time to pay attention to Changchun's response; she only heard the word "Auntie," and her eyes narrowed and her brows furrowed!

If Jing Su hadn't been there, she really would have liked to take matters into her own hands and say, "Come on, let your older sister teach you what manners are!"

Auntie? What auntie? Have you ever seen an auntie like me?

From Changchun's perspective, Eugen is much older than her, both in age and physique. According to the Donghuang camp, the age difference is indeed enough to call her an aunt.

Of course, knowing this is one thing, but Changchun said it on purpose. She wasn't some clueless girl who knew nothing. She had excitedly and skipped over to find the Commander, only to be told that Jing Su had been kidnapped by Eugen and was now having fun in her room.

She heard everything the others said, and she was so angry that she wanted to throw a few firecrackers on the spot.

However, since they didn't know exactly how far things had progressed on Jing Su's end, they ultimately decided against it. It wouldn't be good if it scared Jing Su into having some kind of health problem.

"Ahem, Changchun, your sister Eugen is so beautiful and young, you can't call her 'Auntie,' it's impolite." At this moment, Jing Su stepped in to smooth things over, or rather, it wasn't just about smoothing things over; Jing Su was also trying to excuse herself. If you call Eugen 'Auntie,' then what would you be after you married her?

Also, Changchun calls himself "brother" in public, while she calls her wife "auntie" and her own brother. This messes up the generational hierarchy.

"But, there's such a big age gap between us~" Changchun said, sounding a little aggrieved. She didn't want to change her tune, and even pouted, 'Commander, you big bad guy! You're criticizing me for the sake of an outsider!'

"Hehe, in our port area, we don't use age to address people, otherwise it would be easy to cause chaos."

"But......"

"You can't just shout your own names!" As the ship girl who had spent the most time with him since he transmigrated, Jing Su knew Chang Chun's character all too well. You could say that he could guess what Chang Chun was going to say just by how much her lips curled up.

So, before Changchun could finish speaking, Jingsu immediately interrupted him.

"Waaaaah, Commander, you big bad guy! You're always bullying me!" Changchun was truly wronged. She had been looking forward to meeting the Commander for so long, but her most anticipated meeting was ruined, and she had to wait here for so long. And then, Jing Su didn't even side with her after they met! She was unhappy!

"Alright, alright, I'll treat you to cake." From somewhere, Jing Su pulled out a small cake and handed it to Chang Chun. As expected, Chang Chun couldn't resist the temptation of the food. He snatched the cake and ate it while stealing glances at Jing Su. When he felt Jing Su looking at him, he would quickly turn his head away, and then sneak back to peek again after a while, which made Jing Su laugh heartily.

'Now that's what a family should be like!'

Chapter 222 I'll fight you to the death!

"Why haven't we arrived yet? What time is it? We should have arrived long ago. Are you sure Belfast is talking about the 6 o'clock ferry?"

On the deck, a blonde woman dressed in black navy attire, wearing a cowboy hat, a black top, short shorts, and black stockings, paced back and forth with an anxious expression.

"Bumblebee, why are you in such a hurry? It's not even six o'clock yet!" Standing next to the mature woman called Bumblebee was a brown-haired mature woman, equally daringly dressed.

Aside from a cape and stockings, Bumblebee was basically wearing nothing. This brown-haired woman was no less impressive. Although she appeared to be wearing a lot of clothes and was completely covered up, a closer look revealed that from the bridge to three inches below her navel, her abdomen was completely exposed!

In particular, the clothing that concealed her mysterious area was actually just a piece of cloth fluttering in the wind, or rather, two pieces connected by a zipper. With the zipper, or more precisely, with the inertia of a heavy object, even when the brown-haired mature woman was just walking, the strip of cloth would sway, revealing her mysterious area in a way that gave people endless imagination.

The brown-haired mature woman has a simple fastening device at her waist and hips to connect her to her long, black stockings that reach her thighs. Several black threads are attached to the stockings and connect them to the fastening device, making the viewer's blood boil.

What's most perplexing is the mature woman's attire on the bridge. The reason we said she looked like she was wrapped up tightly is because she was wearing a long-sleeved trench coat. From a distance, it looked like an overcoat, like a winter coat from a school campus, covering her from arms to hands completely. She also had a deep blue cape behind her. Just looking at her from behind, she did indeed look like she was wrapped up tightly.

But once you look at her face, you see her scratching her head, her blood boiling, and her energy rising. It's not just what I just mentioned, but also the fact that the mature woman's full and rounded bridge is bulging under the constraint of two black covers. You can get a glimpse of the size of her bridge just by looking at the covers that are stretched to their limit. Outsiders would feel sorry for those covers, that she is suffering so much at such a young age!

"Baltimore, we're about to see the Commander, and you're not worried at all? I am worried though you aren't!" Hearing the older woman's advice, Bumblebee's furrowed brows didn't ease; instead, his voice was resentful, and he looked at the older woman standing next to him with a sullen expression.

I can't help feeling resentful and depressed. It's just that I wore these clothes myself, and they can't compare to Baltimore's.

These past few days she's been resting in her own faction's rest area, so there's no need to worry too much about her image. She just dresses however she likes and feels comfortable. Hornet is a bold and generous girl, and also a veteran Eagle Union ship girl.
