Shipgirls and Salted Fish Commander, Port Survival Guide

Jing Su thought to herself.

"Honey, come quick, the coffee's ready!"

Chapter 235 Just How Rich is Hong Kong?

Just as Jing Su was pondering who the behind-the-scenes shareholders of this twin companies were, Hua Yuan waved to her while holding a steaming cup of coffee.

"Hey, be careful, don't burn yourself, the coffee is going to spill." Seeing the state of the garden, Jing Su rushed over, took the coffee with one hand, and helped the garden with the other.

"Hehe, Honey, are you worried about me? Then give me a loving kiss." Seeing Jing Su's worried look, Garden stood there grinning foolishly.

"You!" Jing Su sighed helplessly. She wanted to say something else, but didn't know how to start. In the end, she just gently patted the stains off the garden. This girl had been so flustered while making coffee that she had spilled a lot of freshly ground coffee on herself.

Garden is wearing her combat-era character design today, which is commonly known online as "Cock Rabbit".

This outfit is a mix of black, white, and blue. The black is naturally the black stockings, and of course, there are patterns that make up that part of the outfit that are easy to get excited about. In terms of clothing, most of it is black, except for a small area near the navel. You could say that the short skirt and the black bodysuit on the lower body are all black.

Black stockings covering the bridge, black silk gloves, and a blue and white cloak with a modern feel—the combination of these colors is so striking that you can't take your eyes off her at first glance.

Especially the shape of the garden, against the backdrop of the suggestive patterns, draws the eye involuntarily to the full bridge, making it impossible to look away even for a moment.

"Hehe, honey, don't be shy, come on, come on." Garden didn't care about Jing Su's reaction. She grabbed Jing Su's arm and buried it deep into her bridge. Last time, during the back and forth rubbing, she was Garden.

Casual, lively, confident, and cheerful—these are all synonyms for her. When news of Jing Su's return reached the front lines, Garden was engaged in battle and couldn't leave immediately. By the time the battle was over, Jing Su's orders had already been issued: all factions and ship girls should remain where they were and proceed according to the original plan until he came to find them. Otherwise, Garden would have already abandoned her post and gone to find Jing Su.

Now that she finally has the chance to follow Jing Su's lead, how could she not go to great lengths? Why would she care about what others think?

Or rather, Garden couldn't wait for others to see everything she and Jing Su did. In her view, liking someone is liking someone, and she should openly show it off. Why would anyone doubt her feelings for Jing Su?

Since she deeply loves Jing Su, what else is there to say? When she's with him, shouldn't she be all lovey-dovey?

"You haven't drunk your coffee yet, don't spill it on yourself later~" Jing Su rolled her eyes at Garden, but didn't object to Garden's actions. She couldn't resist anyway. She knew Garden's feelings for her, and she had heard about her personality. She knew how to get along with different ship girls. For someone like Garden, she could just be open and friendly with her.

Besides, it's really comfortable!

It's warm and soft. If I had to describe the feeling, it's like stuffing your hands into a warm quilt in the dead of winter and then swaying them back and forth.

Jing Su tried several times, but apart from eliciting giggles from the garden, it had no effect and she had to give up.

He finally understood that his only role in the port now was to make up for the harm he had caused to the ship girls over the years and make them happy; that was his mission.

"Hehe, Honey, with me here, do you still need to worry about drinking coffee? Come on, let me feed you~" Garden took advantage of the situation and pretended to snatch the coffee from Jing Su's hand. Jing Su naturally refused, and in the shoving, the coffee cup was helplessly knocked away.

"Oh dear, all the coffee has been spilled!" Garden fell into deep thought as she looked at the coffee scattered all over the ground.

"I'm sorry, Garden, did you get burned? Are you alright?" Seeing the situation turn out this way, Jing Su felt a little embarrassed and quickly walked over to Garden to ask about her condition.

"Hehe, you fell for it, Honey, come here, give me a loving kiss~" Just as Jing Su felt guilty, Garden suddenly stood up, pounced on Jing Su and knocked her to the ground, then grabbed Jing Su's head and showered her with kisses.

"Commander, you're already on the defensive, in every sense of the word. You're bullying girls and making them angry, so you'd better comfort me. Hehe, you're not even going to fight back? Not fighting back means you're admitting it. So this is the kind of commander you are. You like this kind of thing?"

It doesn't matter anymore. Whether you resist or not, like it or not, I like it.

Honey, I'm here!

......

As Jing Su walked out of the shop, supporting her back, she felt dizzy; this whole mess had caused her so much trouble.

'At this rate, with so many ship girls on the front lines, even someone with iron kidneys couldn't withstand it!'

Originally, Garden had planned to take him to other places after they were done. It was supposed to be a date, and Garden had a full schedule planned for today. However, this sudden turn of events made the onlookers uncomfortable. This wasn't going according to plan at all.

Under pressure, Belfast, along with the other ship girls, issued a request to Garden, effectively sending her away. They had no choice but to get rid of Akagi and Roon, otherwise they would go berserk.

"Honey, wait for me! I'll be right back to you after I finish this job, so please remember to wait for me!"

Recalling the way Garden held up her cloak and waved to her, Jing Su licked her lips. No matter what she thought, the feeling just now was indeed unforgettable. After all, that was Garden, with her figure, her slender waist, and her affectionate, coy expression.

No, the garden wouldn't play hard to get. She kept a happy look in her eyes the whole time, doing enjoyable things with Jing Su.

But Garden still left after all, acting as if nothing had happened. Jing Su was very curious: was it because of the ship girl, or was it just her personality?

To be honest, the ship girls are really tough. Their physical abilities alone are no joke. Even without deploying their ship equipment, their physical abilities are top-notch.

Of course, this is in general terms. There are indeed ship girls who are physically weak, such as Amagi, who dragged Akagi away last night. Although she is a battleship, Amagi's health seems to have always been poor. Or rather, most of the ship girls who are physically weak are in Sakura Empire. Jing Su is very curious about this and feels that she should find some time to go and see.

The saying goes, "Having accomplished their task, they dust off their clothes and depart, looking up to become sages and saints."

At this moment, Jing Su looked up at the ceiling, her mind blank for a moment, as if she had entered an extremely ethereal state. She hadn't experienced this feeling in a long time, and she only remembered it when she was busy working with Guanghui.

But back then, there was a lot of foreplay, and my mental state and desire were at their peak. Now it's different; I'm completely unprepared. You can imagine how alluring the garden is.

Speaking of that sister-owned company, who exactly is the behind-the-scenes shareholder?

When people have free time, they tend to think about all sorts of things. After calming down a bit, Jing Su began to think about the shop.

After all, the garden initially demolished the shop, which led to all the subsequent problems. And after so much time has passed, no one has come to discuss compensation. Either the frontline staff simply doesn't care about the shop, or they've become accustomed to the garden's actions.

Regardless of the situation, it demonstrates that the owner behind the scenes is extremely wealthy. After all, in this place where land is incredibly valuable, opening a coffee shop with no end in sight and prone to damage shows just how rich the owner must be.

'Sister ships? There are quite a few sister ships in the port, but with this name, does it mean there are only two of them in total?'

Jing Su pondered silently.

In the port area, ship girls of the same type can call each other sisters. For example, for the Illustrious-class, Illustrious is the older sister, and Victory and Formidable are the younger sisters. As for "sister flowers", they are usually two sisters, but there are not many of them in the port area.

In addition, this coffee shop is located in the White Eagle camp's rest area, making the area even smaller.

The first places Jing Su could think of were Lexington and Saratoga, Helena and St. Louis.

Strictly speaking, these two aren't just two sisters. The Lexington-class has constellations, and the Brooklyn-class, where Helena is, has even more. But for some reason, when I think of twin sisters, Helena and St. Louis immediately come to mind.

'Perhaps it's because we look alike?'

A thought suddenly flashed through Jing Su's mind.

'Hmm, that doesn't seem right either. Helena is alright; she looks more like a light cruiser and isn't too different from her sisters. But what's with the one in St. Louis? Did she mutate genetically?'

Just thinking about St. Louis's ridiculously exaggerated physique made a surge of lust rise from his lower abdomen.

Actually, even Helena Rubinstein is a hidden gem; her figure is absolutely stunning. Upon closer inspection, all Brooklyn-level figures are quite amazing. Just mentioning who's in this group will make it clear.

First up is Brooklyn, the lead ship, and then Phoenix, the second sister. Jing Su didn't really remember them because they didn't change outfits, but after trying hard to recall, she could still roughly feel their hot figures.

Next up is Boise, but Jing Su is more familiar with her by her other name—Shu Cheng, the one who wears a tight leather outfit and a mask, and seems to have a completely different style from the other sisters. So much so that when Jing Su saw this ship girl, she didn't even realize that she was also a Brooklyn-class ship girl.

Moving on to Honolulu, the ship girl Jing Su definitely left a deep impression, especially her outfit change scene where she was inserting a water pipe into the bridge. It's as if Jing Su pulled out her wallet and shouted, "Take off my money!" at just one glance!

The remaining two are St. Louis and Helena. St. Louis goes without saying; not only among light and heavy cruisers, but even among the main force in the back row, few can surpass her. Helena is a hidden gem; she is usually kept inconspicuous, but once she changes her outfit, her true potential becomes immediately apparent.

Yes, I'm talking about the wedding dress changing scene, the one where people are watching, their eyes are so deep and captivating, you can't take your eyes off them.

That wedding dress—who wouldn't be mesmerized by it, and wouldn't want to kneel down and sing, "I'm completely captivated by you!"

To be honest, when Jing Su first learned about the Sisters Company, she didn't really think of it as a company in the port area. At the time, she was simply thinking that she was walking down the street, got scolded by someone, and then inexplicably got a shopping mall. As a result, so much time has passed and no one has mentioned the shopping mall to her. To be honest, if she hadn't heard about the Sisters Company again here, Jing Su would have completely forgotten about it.

Running a shopping mall is nowhere as lucrative as having ship girls directly giving out red envelopes!

However, at this moment, Jing Su also remembered that when he left the Donghuang camp, Yi Xian told him that the port area was not short of resources. He seemed to recall mentioning that not all ship girls liked fighting on the front lines, and that a considerable number of ship girls chose to go and do what they liked.

According to Yi Xian, when Jing Sugang went missing, all factions were frantically searching for him, causing the resources he left behind to melt away as quickly as snow on a hot pan.

Before running out of ammunition and supplies, the leaders of each faction, along with their secretaries, held a meeting and declared that they could not continue like this and had to increase revenue and cut costs.

Those willing to fight went to the front lines to eliminate the Sirens and requested resources from the Maritime Bureau. After the resources for combat were resolved, the resources for daily life also needed to be resolved, so some ship girls chose to start companies and do business.

Some have become quite successful, like Akashi, the little money-grubber in the port area. She and Shiranui have started several companies specializing in high-tech products. From the production of small yellow chicks to the development and research of ship equipment, she has invested in many things. It can be said that she has the biggest business in the entire port area.

Next up is the Sisters Company. This company is very mysterious. Even in the port area, not many ship girls know about it, but in terms of assets, this company has the most.

Akashi has the largest business, the widest scope, and the most operations, so correspondingly, its cash flow isn't particularly impressive.

The Sisters Company takes a specialized approach, with few subsidiaries. They mainly focus on luxury goods and shopping malls built for products that haven't yet been promoted. With the support of the Maritime Bureau, they basically own all the high-end cosmetics available on the market.

'So, my ship girl is aiming for the top 500 in the world?' Jing Su was dumbfounded after quickly glancing at the data that Navigator TB had pulled up for her.

His ship girls are all incredibly talented, each with their own business and basically a monopoly in some area. The Sisters Company monopolizes high-end luxury goods, the Eastern Empire's tea ceremony and furniture are basically the best in the market, the Royal Navy and Sakura Empire share the seafood market, the Northern Union focuses on high-precision electronic products, and the two French factions jointly run a music company, taking everyone out to sing songs whenever they have time.

As for Sardinia, Jing Su couldn't find anything about this faction, but it seems they are plotting something.

"Hey, Commander, you're here. What are you thinking about? Oh well, perfect, come with me!"

Chapter 236 Gift

Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw a red-haired mature woman wearing hot pants, a short shirt, a jacket, and black stockings standing behind him.

"You are... Bremerton!?" This mature woman had a hot figure and was dressed in an even hotter outfit. Combined with the goggles on her head, Jing Su subconsciously called out this name.

"Oh, yes, it's me, Commander. I'm Bremerton, the Baltimore-class heavy cruiser—Bremerton, hull number CA-130. It's rare that you remember me, Commander. I thought you had completely forgotten about me." Upon hearing Jing Su's words, the mature woman, or rather Bremerton, was initially delighted, but quickly put on a stern face and said angrily.

"Cough cough, no, that's impossible. How could I have forgotten you?" Jing Su quickly retorted, or rather, expressed her feelings.

"Hey, if you haven't forgotten me, then why didn't you come to find me right away after arriving at the front lines? I've been looking forward to this for so long, Commander! I've been thinking about you day and night, hoping you would come to me. And what happened? I waited for so long last night, and you didn't even glance at me. Humph, is this what you mean by not forgetting me?" Bremerton said angrily, hands on his hips.

"Oops, sorry!" Jing Su decisively admitted defeat. There was no use saying anything at this point; the more she said, the more mistakes she would make. Admitting her mistake decisively still had some merit, after all, Bramerton's words were indeed correct to some extent.

Yesterday, after he arrived at the banquet, although he was swept along by Garden, Enterprise Belfast and the four port girls, it is an indisputable fact that he ignored the other ship girls. Since he was in the wrong, it is only right that he admits his mistake.

However, to be fair, Bremerton's mouth is really fast; she speaks three sentences per second, leaving Jing Su stunned, yet she still manages to make sure Jing Su understands what she's saying. That's quite an impressive ability.

"What, just an apology? A single apology is too perfunctory. That's not what a gentleman should do. If you hurt a girl's feelings, an apology alone won't do!" Bremerton waved a finger in front of Jing Su to express his opinion.

'If that's how you put it, then I understand!' Jing Su belatedly realized that she had almost said the wrong thing again. She could only say that she was in a state of post-coital slump, with her mind blank, or what is commonly known as a brainless state.

“Well then, please tell me, my dear, lovely, and beloved Bremerton, what should I do to earn your forgiveness?” Jing Su bowed slightly, extended her hands toward Bremerton, and narrowed her eyes.

This blow struck straight to the heart. If it were an ordinary ship girl, she would blush and blush with affection when faced with Jing Su's posture. But Bremerton is no ordinary ship girl.

"Hmph, Commander, is that really what you think?" Bremerton frowned, flashed to Jing Su's side, pointed his fair finger at Jing Su's cheek, and said softly.

“Of course, a promise is a promise!” Seeing Bremerton’s expression, Jing Su was inexplicably startled, but she still mustered her courage and shouted.

Jing Su thought to herself, "So what if I get squeezed again? What else can I do?"

"Hehe, then Commander, come with me~"

Before Jing Su could say anything, she saw Bremerton pull out his phone and start swiping on it.

"Wait a moment, I'll get back to you." Bremerton's eyes flickered, as if he was concocting something intriguing.

"News?" Jing Su wanted to distract Bremerton, whose bad premonition was growing stronger.

"I created an account to help everyone with their problems, and I get all sorts of questions from time to time. Commander, do you also have any problems you'd like to ask me? You're welcome to ask me in person, okay?"

Or perhaps you'd like to see what everyone's troubles are like?

Hehe, of course not, this is a matter between girls.

It must be admitted that Bremerton's smile is really beautiful, especially when paired with her sly expression, playful eyes, and hot body. At this moment, Jing Su was quite close to Bremerton, and Jing Su could even feel the intense heat emanating from Bremerton's body.

"Since Bremerton has said so, cough cough, wait a minute, what kind of person do you think I am!" Under Bremerton's expression, Jing Su's momentum was suppressed for a moment, but she quickly realized, wait a minute, this should be the expression you have when you face me, I'm actually shy!

"Haha, what a lovely commander! Usually, it's the commander who listens to everyone's troubles, but in front of me, the commander can confide in me without any problem. Oh, if you feel shy, you can also send me a text message, okay?" Bremerton waved his phone and said to Jing Su with a smile.

During this process, Jing Su noticed a payment notification, which immediately set off alarm bells in her mind.

"Hey, weren't you supposed to be solving problems for others? How did it turn into paying? This scene clearly shows payment, right? It's definitely payment! Wait, what did you buy!?"

Although she was very curious about what Bremerton had just done, she ultimately said nothing. After all, as Bremerton had just said, this was a matter between girls.

'It shouldn't be some kind of computer part, right?' Jing Su's mind was a complete mess, and she suddenly felt a deep sense of desolation at the thought of what was about to happen.

On the way with Bremerton, Bremerton kept talking. To some extent, Bremerton was indeed quite talkative, saying everything and changing topics with great skill. From the results of the battle over the past few days to the gossip of the various maritime officials on the front lines, he would then change the subject and directly shift to how to arrange the date in a few days and how to design the wedding if it were to be held.

Bremerton's shift in topic was so smooth that Jing Su, who considered herself the best conversation partner, didn't even realize that Bremerton had changed the subject and was still mumbling "uh-huh."

"Hehe, Commander, so you agree? Hehe, then let's hurry up and design the invitations. Weddings are definitely better when they're grand. How many people should we invite? Five hundred? No, no, that's too many. Even I would struggle to handle so many people at once."

But too few people won't be good either, it won't be lively. Hmm, around three hundred people, I think. We'll have St. Louis help with the wedding venue setup; it needs to be lavish and spectacular! She's very good at that.”

"Huh!?" Jing Su belatedly realized what kind of thing she had agreed to!

"Um, Bremerton, it's not really appropriate in the short term, is it?" For some reason, alarm bells were ringing in Jing Su's mind. For some reason, the expressions that Akagi and Ron looked at her last night kept replaying in her mind. If she were to hold a wedding, they would probably kill her, they definitely would.

His head was chopped off and held on the ship, gazing at him tenderly as he said, "Commander, from now on, we can be together forever~"

For that kind of thing, send it, send it in large quantities!

Although he wanted to say no, seeing the joyful and excited Bremerton, Jing Su couldn't bring himself to say a single word.

"Relax, Commander, I know what I'm doing. The summer offensive is just around the corner, so it's really not appropriate to hold a wedding now. Besides, there are so many big shots who haven't held their weddings yet, so it wouldn't be appropriate for me to barge in like this."

But Commander, let me make this clear first: you personally promised me the wedding, so you can't go back on your word!
