Shipgirls and Salted Fish Commander, Port Survival Guide

The reason for this situation is simple—the various factions in the port are theoretically equal and do not belong to each other. Therefore, Belfast has a hard time commanding ship girls from non-Royal factions. Even the faction that she can command Royal Navy ship girls at the front line is because of Queen Elizabeth's authorization, which allows her to oversee things on the front line herself.

Otherwise, she might not be able to get the Royal Navy ship girls to work, since in terms of strength, a considerable number of the Royal Navy ship girls on the front lines are too powerful.

Now it's different. With Jing Su back, the government's work in Belfast will be directly handed over to Jing Su, who will then issue the orders. It's just a formality, but the level of enforcement will be incomparable to before. It will be implemented with 100% quality and quantity guaranteed.

As early as the day Jing Su arrived at the Royal Camp's base, or rather, when he learned of Belfast's predicament at the front, he proposed to hand over all frontline affairs to Belfast. However, after careful consideration, Belfast still rejected the proposal.

Because it's unnecessary, it's just a formality, not something that would allow Belfast to become a one-man show. In fact, if Jing Su really did that, Belfast's management on the front lines would most likely be impossible to implement. It's not that the ship girls from other factions would disobey her, but rather that doing so here would cause some people to have doubts.

Marco Polo was always at the forefront of the charge. She had been eyeing the position of secretary ship in the port for far too long. Almost every ship girl in the port knew that she wanted to seize power. Marco Polo's daily thought was to merge the four secretary ship positions in the port into one grand secretary ship, and then declare that the grand secretary ship's power was supreme and unlimited.

However, when asked what she wanted to do after becoming the Grand Secretary, Marco Polo seemed a little silly. Those who knew her might have thought she wanted to conquer the world, but given the port's current influence in the world, conquering the world or not wouldn't make much difference. In fact, maintaining the current situation is far better than conquering by force. At least for now, the port doesn't have to worry about much resistance.

As for finding Jing Su, that's utter nonsense. Even with the port splitting up, every faction, every leader, and every ship girl has never stopped searching for Jing Su. It's something that's always been going on. So, Marco Polo was dumbfounded. She realized that even as the port's chief secretary ship, there wasn't much she could do, but she was still tirelessly working towards that goal.

According to her, this is an obsession, an obsession!

Therefore, even for the sake of harmony in the entire port area, granting full authority to such a thing is still not allowed. Once it is allowed, there will be endless troubles. The troubles mentioned here refer to the fact that some ship girls will worry that Belfast will use her authority to give their own faction's ship girls more opportunities to get close to Jing Su. It's a very simple principle: just assigning you to a more distant place for garrisoning will transfer you away.

Jing Su didn't think too much about it. He simply felt that Belfast was working too hard on the front lines alone, and he had to help her out. Otherwise, all the things he had learned at the Donghuang and Royal residences would have been for nothing.

But Belfast used her lips to completely block Jing Su's ability to continue speaking. Every time he had the thought, Belfast would control him tightly, making him unable to speak or breathe. What could Jing Su do? He could only obey Belfast.

After experiencing Belfast's wire drawing technology, Jing Su said, "Okay, we'll do it your way. You've worked hard. If anything happens, be sure to contact me immediately. Don't try to tough it out on your own."

Then, Jing Su quickly fled the office. She felt that if she didn't leave soon, she would have to lean against the wall to get out of the house. Because Belfast's gaze was becoming more and more unfocused, her face was becoming more and more flushed, and her breathing was becoming more and more heavy. Even through her clothes, Jing Su could feel Belfast's body temperature rising.

If it were late at night or at any other time, it would be fine to continue, Belfast would be happy, but now, after being tormented by the garden and Bremerton, Jing Su is a little weak and hasn't recovered yet.

"Hehe, is this what it feels like to be the master? Whew, it really is irresistible~" Watching Jing Su's departing figure, Belfast cupped her cheeks, her face flushed, her eyes turning into peach blossoms. Belfast really wanted to just leave Jing Su there and do it, but at the last moment, she held back. As the perfect head maid, how could she take the initiative in such a thing?

'Ah, a maid who takes the initiative isn't a good maid, but this immoral feeling is so exciting, Master, oh, Master~'

Strange noises came from inside the room.

Having escaped the office, Jing Su ran around like a headless fly until she came to her senses and found herself in a garden.

'Hiss, this scene... it feels a bit familiar. Surely a staircase won't suddenly appear out of nowhere and trap me inside.' Recalling that little devil, Jing Su's heart pounded. She was both excited and a little scared. This girl, seemingly innocent and naive, was incredibly fierce when things got tough. Jing Su vaguely remembered almost being unable to get out of bed back then.

Fortunately, after observing, Jing Su discovered that it was just an ordinary garden, the kind that you could see from one end to the other at a glance.

Since it was just a garden, Jing Su decided to go in and take a look. It would be a good opportunity to stroll around the White Eagle base. Although her whole body was aching all over, it wasn't a big problem. Surprisingly, no ship girls were with her for a long time. Anyway, she was in the ship girls' territory, so she was probably still safe.

"Hehe, Commander, radar activated! Commander's here! Found you!"

As it turns out, Jing Su was just being wishful.

Just as he was about to begin his exploration, a sweet, cloying voice rang out behind him, startling him greatly.

"Eh!?" Jing Su turned around abruptly and saw a petite and adorable girl with cascading black hair, black stockings, cute little hands in long sleeves, and headphones standing behind her.

"Waaah~ You can't see me... You can't see me... You can't see me~" Seeing Jing Su turn around, the girl waved her long sleeves and made exaggerated movements, but the expression on her face was full of joy that could be seen with the naked eye.

"Long Island, is it Long Island?" After seeing the girl's face clearly, Jing Su was stunned at first, but quickly showed a joyful expression as well.

"Hehe, I'm Long Island, the first escort carrier of the White Eagles~ Protecting merchant ships with my adorable carrier-based aircraft and maintaining the maritime supply lifeline is my duty~" With her hands in the air and eyes slightly narrowed, Long Island circled around Jing Su. "Aww~ Were you scared? Hehe, Long Island will be like a ghost, haunting the Commander every day to scare you~"

"Waaaa~ I'm so scared of Miss Ghost~ Please, Long Island, let me go~ I'll never do it again~" Jing Su pretended to be scared, but her steps gradually moved closer to Long Island.

"No~ no~ Commander, this is the punishment you deserve~ So, want to play Russian roulette? The person who gets hit has to eat wasabi~ Super spicy wasabi."

"Hey, wait, what? No!"

Seeing Jing Su cooperate with her, Changdao felt victorious. She immediately squinted her eyes, stretched out her index finger at Jing Su, and shouted excitedly, but she didn't see that Jing Su was getting closer and closer to her.

Then, taking advantage of Changdao's momentary lapse in attention, Jing Su scooped her up and spun her around wildly in the air.

"Oh dear, I'm so scared, Lord Long Island! Please don't make me eat wasabi, but I don't want to play Russian roulette either. So, I'll just have to spin around with you, Lord Long Island. Will you forgive me then?"

If we're talking about the important significance of the ship girls in the port to Jing Su, strictly speaking, she was the first ship girl to join the port, the place where Jing Su's dream began. In addition, Long Island's character design is quite likable; she's a lively, cute, and quirky homebody. Although the attributes of being lively and homebody seem to be completely unrelated, they blend together harmoniously in Long Island without any awkwardness.

"Whoa, Commander, no, wait, put me down quickly!"

Although that's what Long Island said, her expression showed no fear whatsoever. On the contrary, she was thoroughly enjoying everything Jing Su was doing.

'Hooray, Commander's spin! Commander, it's the Commander! This is the Commander of Long Island!'

After spinning around for a long time, Jing Su was exhausted. She finally put the long island down. To be precise, she found a chair nearby, put the long island on it first, and then planned to sit down and rest herself.

Just as Jing Su put Changdao on the table and hadn't even sat down yet, Changdao, who was immersed in happy memories, suddenly opened her eyes wide, breaking out in a cold sweat!

"Hmm? What's wrong, Changdao? Is something bothering you?" Jing Su's attention was focused on Changdao, and she quickly noticed her unusual behavior.

"Commander, where have you put me?!" Long Island's body stiffened visibly, his eyes wide with disbelief.

"Um, it's the chair closest to where we met. What's wrong? Is something amiss?" Jing Su was initially worried that something might have happened to Long Island, but she quickly remembered another of Long Island's labels—the Port District's prankster. Her quirky personality and elusive nature meant she had played many pranks on others.

Like the Russian roulette game I just mentioned, the loser could eat wasabi or put super glue on the report and then submit it. Belfast often complained to Jing Su about Long Island's pranks, but since the things Long Island did were basically harmless, she could only shake her head and helplessly let Long Island clean up the mess.

"Waaah, you idiot commander, there's glue on here—hey, it's stuck, it's really stuck! What, what do I do? I can't get down, I can't move, my panties are going to fall off, waaaah~" Long Island covered her face and cried, but her eyes were secretly looking at Long Island.

"Hiss, is that so? Long Island, wait here for me, I'll go find someone to help right away." Jing Su naturally noticed Long Island's strange behavior. Serves you right for always playing pranks on others, now look what happened, you tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead. Who was the target of applying glue in such a place? It goes without saying. Jing Su has always been the one to play pranks, and people always play pranks on you. Now I've got the chance to have some fun with you.

"Wow, no, Commander, no, this is the only thing that can't be done!" Upon hearing Jing Su's words, Changdao suddenly opened his eyes and started gesturing wildly.

Despite her quirky and mischievous nature, Long Island can be quite shy in private. If the other ship girls knew that she had been tricked by her own prank and was now sitting on a chair covered in glue, unable to move, they would probably never be able to lift their heads again.

Of course, what Long Island cared about most wasn't the embarrassment. She pouted, her cheeks puffed out, and glared angrily at Jing Su, thinking to herself, "You blockhead, you big blockhead, I've done all this, and you don't even react? Am I that unattractive? Uh, it seems like I started this prank myself, boohoo, how could this happen!?"

"Haha, Long Island, you're so cute." Seeing her trembling, depressed body and expression, Jing Su's heart melted. How could she be so adorable?

"Eh!?" Jing Su's sudden change startled Long Island at first, but soon, a blush spread across her cheeks. She was not a stupid ship girl; she had just been caught off guard and her brain hadn't reacted in time. Now, seeing Jing Su's expression, she naturally knew that Jing Su was doing it on purpose!

"Wow, Commander, you're such a bad guy! You're always bullying me!" Long Island, her face flushed red, steam rising from her forehead. She screamed as if she were utterly ashamed, wanting to punch and kick Jing Su, but just as she said, she was stuck to the chair and couldn't reach her. She simply couldn't reach Jing Su.

The reason she was being clung to so tightly was actually related to Long Island's attire. She was wearing her receptionist's uniform, and she had originally been staying in the reception room to slack off. However, she discovered Jing Su in the garden through the surveillance cameras and came up with a plan to prank Jing Su, but ended up getting herself into trouble.

Her outfit was completely covered from head to toe, with black stockings on her lower body and an employee uniform on her upper body. Clothes were everywhere, but she was stuck with glue and didn't know how to get out.

"Hey, wait a minute, liberation!?" Long Island seemed to have thought of something, suddenly narrowed his eyes, and looked at Jing Su with a smile.

"?" Long Island's sudden change startled Jing Su, as if something bad was about to happen.

Chapter 239 Need Help?

"Stab~"

"Hehe, Commander! Something's wrong! Guess what that sound is!"

Amidst the sound of strips of cloth being torn, Changdao suddenly stood up, a wicked grin on his face, and approached Jing Su.

Seeing Changdao suddenly appear before her, Jing Su was startled. Before she could even think about what Changdao was thinking, she heard Changdao say something.

"Commander, my stockings are all torn! What should I do? They're so tattered! Oh, I forgot to mention, I was wearing pantyhose today. Black stockings and panties go together. What will the panties look like now that the stockings are gone? Commander, what would other people think if they saw you treating a cute girl like this?"

Clearly, Changdao is up to his pranks again. Since traps and words haven't made Jing Su blush, he'll use himself as bait. In short, today, I, the god of pranks Changdao, am determined to play a trick on Jing Su!

"Oh~ what will happen? What will happen if other people see it? My lovely little Long Island." Seeing that Long Island had the idea of ​​playing a prank on her, or rather, that she had already done so, Jing Su felt no qualms about retorting.

"Huh!?" Long Island was suddenly startled, because she realized that it seemed that her mind became clear as soon as her feet left the ground!

It turned out that Jing Su had taken advantage of Changdao's momentary lapse in attention, shoving her under the armpit and pulling her up.

Clearly, Long Island, who calls herself Miss Ghost, doesn't live up to her title. Jing Su's sudden action startled her. Her hands, which were tucked into her sleeves, clasped together, and her legs, which were covered by tattered black stockings, were also curled up and pressed together. She looked extremely cute.

But then again, who says Miss Ghost can't be afraid?

"Waaah, Commander! What are you doing!? Quick, put me down! I, I'm going to call for help!" Upon hearing Jing Su's voice, Changdao seemed to realize something, her face turned red, and she began to struggle.

Having finally caught a mischievous brat, Jing Su was not about to let him go easily; she had to give him a good 'training'.

"Hehe, go ahead and scream, even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to save you~" Jing Su revealed an evil expression, as if he had transformed into a villain in a TV series, and said classic lines.

"Waaaaah, help! Commander is bullying me! Someone help me! I'm going to be eaten! Waaah!" Long Island seemed to be frightened by Jing Su's words and began to struggle violently, but as someone who had witnessed the struggle, Jing Su felt that the force was so light.

Oh, so you like this kind of style~

"Hehe, my dear Miss Ghost, you don't seem to realize your predicament yet. I told you, even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to save you. In fact, do you think that, given your personality, when others see you like this, they'll think you're just putting on an act to prank me, or that you're taking advantage of the situation and then acting innocent?"

Even without a mirror, Jing Su still felt that her expression looked quite evil. Look at Changdao's little face, he's so scared, he's almost crying.

Huh!? Wait, what the heck? Why is she about to cry??

"Hey, no, don't cry, I, no, is it that scary!?" Jing Su couldn't stand seeing girls cry. Right now, Changdao's body was shrunken, just like the Greatsword. The only difference was that the Greatsword's illustration showed its legs spread apart, while Changdao's whole body was shrunken.

"Waaah, Commander, you're bullying me, you big bad guy, you're bullying me!!" Long Island didn't care what Jing Su was saying; her eyes were brimming with tears.

"..." Just as Jing Su was in a state of panic and confusion, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the cunning in Changdao's eyes and the slight upturn of his lips.

'Oh, so all that worry and self-blame I felt just now was part of your play?'

Jing Su had a sudden inspiration and immediately spoke up, "Ahem, Long Island, I'll bet you, I have a way to make you stop crying right away, are you in?"

"Waaah, Commander is bullying me." Now Long Island realized something was wrong. It seemed that in this situation, apart from crying and cursing Jing Su for bullying her, she couldn't say anything else. Wouldn't that mean that she wouldn't be able to refute anything Jing Su said later?

At that moment, alarm bells rang in Changdao's mind. She thought that no matter what Jing Su said, she would struggle and run away immediately. She had already placed a camera nearby, just waiting to record what happened during this time, so that she could 'threaten' Jing Su to do some 'shameful' things with her later.

For example, sticking on stickers, sticking on stickers, and sticking on stickers~

So when Jing Su said she had a way to stop her from crying and making a fuss, Changdao cried even harder.

'Hmph, you wretched commander, what can you do now? You bullied me, I'll get my revenge! But speaking of which, am I naked right now? Curled up like this, I probably can't get a shot in, right? Probably.'

Long Island decided to go back and watch the video carefully. If there was anything wrong, he would fix it immediately. If he couldn't fix it, he would delete it. As a computer expert, Long Island was that confident!

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Before Changdao could even fantasize about how she would "blackmail" Jing Su once the video came out, her eyes suddenly widened, and she instinctively gasped, only to find to her surprise that she couldn't do it at all.

My body started to tremble!

Just as Long Island was feeling smug, Jing Su leaned down, their lips met, and with a fierce attack, launched a fierce assault on another soft and moist little dragon.

Clearly, the quirky and clever Long Island, who outwardly refers to herself as an old driver, is actually just an innocent girl who doesn't understand anything at all!

He was quickly defeated by the true veteran, Jing Su.

Her pretty face was rosy, like a July apple, so red and juicy!

With glazed eyes, this wild goat needs to improve.

To some extent, Jing Su should retract her statement that she knew nothing about Changdao. Perhaps at the beginning, she hadn't realized it yet and indeed didn't know anything. But, well, it's hard to say whether Old Si Ji was just pretending to be young or if there really are geniuses in this world.

In short, after the initial chaos and confusion, Changdao quickly launched an offensive. At first, Jing Su was indeed on the offensive, but it didn't take long for Changdao to turn the tables.

Even more surprisingly, Changdao turned around and used her strength to wrap her two black and white legs around Jing Su's waist. She broke free from Jing Su's restraints, supported herself with her legs, and held Jing Su's head with her hands, beginning to take what she wanted.

Now it was Jing Su's turn to be dumbfounded.

No, this isn't what I expected. Shouldn't I be the one dominating Long Island the whole time and teaching this guy who's been playing tricks a lesson?

Why did the art style change so quickly?

Ouch! Before I can figure out what's wrong, no, I really need to break free and breathe! I can't breathe!

In the end, this game of mutual teasing came to a complete end with Miss Ghost's utter domination.

"Hmph, so this is what it's like to be with the Commander. Thank you for the treat~"

After finishing, Changdao stood next to Jing Su, hands on his hips, and said proudly.

Of course, if you ignore Long Island's still flushed cheeks and slightly trembling body, the curtain call would have been even more perfect.

"Ahem, thank you for letting me go, Miss Ghost." Jing Su's cheeks were also flushed, but not from shyness, but from holding back. This girl was really fierce, she controlled him for three minutes, almost making him faint. In the end, he couldn't stand up and almost fell to the ground before Changdao reluctantly let him go.

"Hehe, Commander, are you scared? I'll teach you how to bully me again!" As if realizing just how crazy her actions had been, Long Island turned her head away, her expression still proud, but her tone was much weaker.

"Zizzizi~"

Just as Jing Su was about to say something, a clear electrical hum suddenly rang out around them.

"Huh? What's that sound?" Jing Su and Changdao looked in the direction of the sound at the same time, only to see a camera in a corner not far away, silently sparking.

"That is?" Jing Su was taken aback. She had just opened her mouth and hadn't even finished speaking when she heard Changdao exclaim in surprise.

"Oh no, my camera!!!" Long Island rushed to Spark, stomped his feet a few times, and finally gritted his teeth and pulled out the camera that was sparkling with electricity. "Phew, thank goodness, the memory card wasn't burned out, there should still be hope."

"Huh? What memory card?" Jing Su, who had just walked over, didn't see what was happening in front of her. She was about to say something to express her concern, but she heard Long Island's whispers.

"Ah, no, it's nothing. Commander, I suddenly remembered I have something to do, so I won't bother you any longer. See you later!"

After saying that, Long Island quickly charged in a certain direction. Although the memory card seemed to be fine now, you couldn't tell from the appearance alone whether it was actually damaged.

As an expert in electronic software, Nagashima was well aware of the Minato Ward's technological prowess in electronic components. Cameras were not something he was good at, and given the suddenness of the incident, Nagashima chose to purchase the most powerful camera on the market directly online.

Although I checked it several times and couldn't find the hidden door, this kind of thing is never that simple. This malfunction is very unusual. I know my own system best. It should be able to run until the battery is completely depleted or the storage space is used up. There is absolutely no way that such a terrifying current failure would occur.
