Shipgirls and Salted Fish Commander, Port Survival Guide

The ship girls never want to experience it again, no, they don't even want to think about it.

Therefore, the ship girls are very careful when they are with Jing Su, afraid that they might say something wrong and hurt Jing Su's feelings. Basically, every ship girl tells herself this when she is alone with Jing Su. However, the pain of being separated for three years and the longing for each other make them forget all their worries and considerations when they are alone with Jing Su.

Only then will they realize that love cannot be hidden, and that the person they deeply love will never leave easily again.

This is why, even though most ship girls know they need to find ways to increase Jing Su's loyalty in the port, after spending some time with her, they subconsciously forget about it. This includes Illustrious, who subconsciously forgets about it. Or rather, they feel too natural, too comfortable, and too relaxed around Jing Su, so they don't even remember that it happened.

Just like Z23 complained about Javelin, you've been with the Commander for so long, how come you haven't noticed that so many people are trying to motivate Jing Su to give orders?

Indeed, I didn't notice, or rather, after spending some time with Jing Su, I felt too at ease and subconsciously overlooked these things.

Javelin might not be able to articulate how she felt, but Glorious could and understood the situation perfectly. That's why she had her sisters take the initiative to approach Jing Su. She could deeply sense Jing Su's subtle yet passionate feelings for them.

Therefore, almost every ship girl, after spending time with Jing Su, would say with exasperation, "You blockhead!"

However, when interacting with others, they would tacitly hold back their feelings. It's a simple reason: even if they are sisters, they are still rivals vying for her husband. After all, it's rare for someone like Guanghui to actively invite her sisters over to develop a relationship with Jingsu. Moreover, Guanghui also has the consideration of expanding her own sphere of influence in doing so.

After all, she is an old data point in the port area, and her relationship with Jing Su is not much. But precisely because of this, she is also the one that is collectively watched by all the ship girls in the entire port area. For example, in this summer offensive, if she were sent to the front line, I dare not say all, but at least more than half of the factions would be squeezed out of the competition.

If things go even better, the Royal faction might be able to monopolize Jing Su.

Unfortunately, this possibility was rejected from the very beginning. Not to mention herself, none of the four Radiant sisters were qualified to go to the front line. What saddened Radiant was that her own allies were also ostracizing her.

Yes, the ship girls from the Royal Navy who were least willing to send Glorious to the front lines were the Royal Navy ship girls. Ship girls from other factions might not be aware of Glorious's power due to distance, but as fellow Royal Navy ship girls, they knew all too well how Glorious got along with Jing Su.

Sending Glorious to the front lines might allow the Royal faction to have Jing Su all to themselves, but if that happens, it's highly likely that only Glorious will be able to get along with Jing Su. After all, in the rear, there's Queen Elizabeth to keep them in check, but on the front lines, Glorious will truly be the only one in power.

For this reason, even the Illustrious-class ship girls couldn't go to the front lines. Of course, this was also because Illustrious's sisters weren't cut out for it. Every time Illustrious saw her sisters, she would get a headache.

One is a womanizer, the other is a hopeless lazybones, and only the second sister, Seungri, is of any use. However, Seungri has an overly strong sense of empathy. On the battlefield, she can empathize with even the most desperate enemies. Although Seungri claims to be willful and says it is her privilege, due to her terrifyingly strong empathy, she can hardly remain indifferent to anything if you earnestly plead with her.

With this kind of personality, even if she were placed on the front lines, she wouldn't pose any threat. It would be better if she didn't go. If she did go, she would just be watching other factions' ship girls accompany Jing Su while she could only watch helplessly.

Moreover, influenced by this strong empathy, Victory has a good impression of Tirpitz of Ironblood. The two are considered good friends in the port. Illustrious is very worried that, given her personality, she might be taken advantage of by Ironblood.

It's not that I'm worried about Tirpitz; she's not the kind of ship girl who would exploit her friends, nor is Bismarck. But there's Prinz Eugen at the front lines, and in Illustrious's eyes, that ship girl is a serious threat.

Therefore, after considering all factors, Guanghui ultimately decided not to send his sisters to the front lines.

Of course, Glorious also has her own little temper. Although she knows why the other factions are targeting her and she understands, she still gets angry when she should. So, as the first to see through Jing Su's feelings, she chose to keep quiet and let the other ship girls worry about it.

No, I wouldn't say I was conflicted. It was just that as I spent time with the Commander, I gradually discovered his good qualities and felt Jing Su's passion. That's when I started to feel like I was in love.

......

"Here you go, Bismarck, this is for you: eel, steak, lobster, smoked meat, prosciutto, and soup. Oh, and eggs too, all kinds of cooking methods, from fried to boiled to steamed. See if you need anything else?"

"Ahem, Commander, this is fine." Bismarck lowered her eyes and took the plate from Jing Su. For some reason, she blushed a little. The events had been so sudden that she had subconsciously revealed her usual eating habits. By the time she realized it, it was too late.

Looking at the plate piled high with food in front of her, Bismarck was extremely conflicted. If she ate it, what if Jing Su thought she was a glutton? Her image would be completely ruined. If she didn't eat it, the Commander had personally served her this food, and it was all her favorite dishes. Logically and emotionally, she should finish it.

While Bismarck was awkwardly struggling, Jing Su continued to distribute the food he had taken from the window.

"Wang Chou, this is your portion: steak, bacon, and roasted potatoes. Um, that's all. Is that enough to fill you up?" Jing Su was a little surprised when he heard the menu that Wang Chou presented, because in his memory, nuns and the like were not supposed to eat meat, according to the doctrine.

He even checked his phone and was told that whether nuns eat meat depends on the specific doctrine, and that it's a doctrine of the human world, specifically from the Middle Ages. In the Middle Ages, religion was purely used to fool and persecute the common people. Following that stuff now would be considered crazy.

In the port area, Jing Su still doesn't understand what religion Richelieu and the others believe in. They've been in this world for so long, yet they haven't come up with a specific doctrine.

In the port area, every now and then a strange cult would pop up. For example, there was the Rabbit Cult created by Raffi and her friends. A while ago, it was rumored that Portland also wanted to create an Indiana cult and have her sister as its spiritual leader, but it was strongly opposed by Indianapolis and that's why it was abandoned.

In short, in the port area, ship girls can eat whatever they want, depending on their personal preferences. Even the most rigid and dogmatic Richelieu agrees with this. Judging from her voice lines, outside of her daily work and teaching duties, she lives a life no different from ordinary people.

Besides, Jing Su knew about the grudge; this girl was a false believer, only appearing devout.

Therefore, Jing Su quickly and happily went to find food for her grudge. During this process, Jing Su also specifically checked what taboos Richelieu and the others believed in, mainly to see if there were any restrictions on food. If Richelieu's beliefs did not allow the ship girls to eat meat, then even if it offended Richelieu, she would still ask her to change the doctrine.

Jing Su said that everything else was negotiable, but food was the bottom line. As a patient who had been tormented by gastrointestinal problems for half her life, she knew all too well the feeling of being able to look at so many delicious foods but not be able to eat them. Even though she had almost recovered, the thought of it still bothered her.

Moreover, whether it's ship girls or humans, they can't survive without timely nutrition. Although theoretically ship girls can live well as long as they have resources, Jing Su still feels that they still need to eat well, have nutritious meals, and have a variety of ingredients.

Fortunately, after carefully examining the doctrines of the two schools, aside from the strict doctrines and the relatively large restrictions during the church period, there were not many taboos. There were not many restrictions on food and clothing. Even an epic-level blockhead like Richelieu would wear a sexy and beautiful swimsuit on the beach.

Outside of their duties, the ship girls of the two factions can do whatever they want. For example, a certain famous blue-haired destroyer with white highlights and horse ears, Maye Blaze, was watching a horror movie at night and got scared half to death. The noise she made was so loud that her companions found her. She was trembling with fear, holding a wooden sword at a little yellow chick. This scene made a certain stubborn destroyer keep insisting that she was not scared by a chick at all!

"Commander, you've only eaten this little bit?" After struggling for a while, Bismarck finally came up with a topic to divert attention in order to ease the awkwardness.

As she finished speaking, the attention of the ship girls on site turned to Jing Su's plate. It was a grilled meat rice bowl, a very small portion, just the size of a regular small bowl, with some sauce and ingredients on top.

But compared to ship girls, even submarines eat far too little.

"Ahem, as you know, I can't eat too much at once," Jing Su explained with a smile. She explained that she has this problem with her stomach and intestines, and that she can only eat small meals frequently. She can't eat too much at once, as overeating can easily cause cramps.

But Jing Su clearly overlooked the power of this statement in the ship girl community.

"Hiss, is that so?"

"Hehe, the ship girls of the Eastern Empire and the Royal Navy are really no good. They haven't been able to take good care of the Commander for so long. As expected, I'll have to take care of the Commander myself."

"Oh, Lady Vessel, I don't like hearing that. Whether the Commander is healthy or not is not up to you to decide. Our sisters in the faction have a lot to say. Obviously, the Commander is being taken good care of. I think the Commander should be taken care of by our faction."

“Miss Vessel Goddess, your methods are not working well for the Commander’s health. Dietary supplements are better. The Commander was first treated in my Eastern Empire camp. It’s true that we are the ones who take care of him.”

"Ahem, when it comes to taking care of people, I think being meticulous is the most crucial thing, and when it comes to meticulousness, the Iron Blood Camp is the best in the Hong Kong area."

"Hehe, you can't say that. How can a blockhead without faith be considered rigorous? With the blessing of the gods, it really is up to us Iris to take care of things."

"..."

Clearly, Jing Su's efforts just now have failed.

A fierce argument broke out on the scene, and it seemed to be even more intense than he had expected. Under the guise of taking care of himself, Jing Su didn't even know how to calm things down, so he simply gave up.

Watching the ship girls arguing heatedly, Jing Su shrugged, let out a long sigh, indicating that she would not struggle anymore, and silently picked at the rice in her bowl.

"Hmm, this food tastes good. Is it a rice bowl? It's quite authentic. I'll have a few more later. Hmm, that's a good decision."

Chapter 244 With the commander here, everything will definitely go smoothly.

The somber atmosphere in the restaurant finally came to an end when Belfast led a group of royal maids to the scene.

The reason that caused the situation to erupt was who could take better care of Jing Su. The point of contention among the ship girls was which ship could take better care of Jing Su. When Belfast arrived, the other ship girls could only declare the topic over.

After all, when it comes to taking care of people, which faction, or which ship girl, dares to compare with the Royal Maid Corps? Other ship girls can say that they are good at taking care of people and can take good care of Jing Su, but the Royal Maids are not just good at it, they are professionals, and their care is comprehensive.

In particular, Belfast, the head of the Royal Maid Corps, personally stated that each ship girl is only good at certain aspects of care, and cannot be all-rounded. This includes the Royal Maid Corps. For example, Sirius is a bit clumsy when it comes to cleaning. She is very clumsy and may even knock over flower pots when doing simple sweeping. However, Sirius has a great talent for dressing people up. Most of the ladies of the Royal Navy ask her to help with their evening gowns at banquets.

However, all the shortcomings of the Royal Maid Corps will disappear when Belfast appears. As the most technically skilled ship girl in the Royal Maid Corps, Belfast is not just good at taking care of people. Her leadership ability is also maxed out. With her around, the Royal Maids can complement each other, and their shortcomings will no longer be shortcomings. Each member can bring out their strengths.

It can be said that as long as Belfast is there, the Royal Maid Corps is the strongest in the port area when it comes to taking care of people, and no one else can make a difference.

So, after Belfast appeared, the tense situation immediately calmed down, and everyone turned back into good boys. There was no way around it; the outcome was already decided, and there was no point in continuing to fight. It was better to be a good boy and leave a good impression on Jing Su.

Although the Royal Navy faction took the lead this time, the ship girls from other factions were not discouraged, as it was only the first day. With so many factions on the front lines, the earlier a faction jumped out, the weaker it would become later. Moreover, the other factions were quite optimistic about the current situation. As the overall coordinator and commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy faction, Belfast had jumped out so early, which shows how much pressure the ship girls present were putting on her.

The competition for Jing Su began the moment Jing Su arrived at the front line.

In a competition of this scale, the bigger the player, the less they should rush to jump out, otherwise they will be attacked by other ship girls. Most importantly, the earlier they jump out, the weaker the support they can provide to their faction.

For example, Garden is a top-tier ship girl in the Eagle Union faction. However, her early emergence, while seemingly a gain for herself, was actually a huge loss for the Eagle Union faction. This is because she could no longer help her faction. After all, she jumped out while other ship girls were still observing and even took the lead, which was considered a sneaky move and angered everyone. It was already good enough that Garden wasn't being watched, let alone helping her comrades.

Let alone other factions, even within the White Eagle faction, there are many who are dissatisfied with her. Otherwise, how could she have transferred Belfast? And how did Bremerton seamlessly take over?

In the grand scheme of things, everything is predetermined.

"Commander, lunch is very important. You can't just eat this little bit. I'll get you a new meal." After forcefully subduing the entire restaurant, Belfast quickly noticed the plate in front of Jing Su, sighed softly, bowed slightly to Jing Su, and then turned to leave.

"?"

Jing Su was taken aback. Was there something wrong with what she ate?

But just as Jing Su was pondering, Belfast had already returned. The head of the Royal Maid Corps, her efficiency was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Belfast brought over a plate of classic Cantonese lunch, which included soup, vegetables, and broccoli stir-fried with meat. The soup glistened in the sunlight, and the slightly oily sauce emitted an enticing aroma.

It's clear that Belfast put in a lot of effort. Because the restaurant windows of the Eagle Union faction are quite messy, with windows from the same faction scattered all over the place, it takes Eagle Union ship girls a long time to find what they like to eat.

Jing Su originally wanted to find some food that suited her taste, but after wandering around for a long time, she couldn't find anything she liked. In the end, she found a rice bowl that she was relatively familiar with. Since she was also responsible for bringing food to Yuan Chou and the others, and they also had to find food for them, she simply decided to eat rice bowls.

Fortunately, the taste was still quite authentic. Thinking about it carefully, it was normal, since all the ship girls from all factions would eat here. It was natural for the cooking chickens from various factions to gather here. However, Jing Su had just taken a bite and hadn't even remembered to take a second bite when Belfast arrived and said that there was too little food. Before Jing Su could even react, Belfast brought over a large plate of food.

"Master, please enjoy~" Belfast placed the plate in front of Jing Su with an extremely elegant posture, along with the previous plate, which had disappeared without a trace.

So, Jing Su stared at the generous portion of food in front of her and fell into deep thought.

Can I finish this portion?

"After analysis, we know that this amount is enough for Master to finish without affecting his stomach. You should eat more at lunch so that you will have more energy in the afternoon. Of course, if Master feels hungry in the afternoon, the royal maids will provide snacks at any time." Seeing Jing Su's doubts, Belfast stood beside Jing Su and explained.

Of course, the explanation was not the main purpose; the real idea was to use the explanation process to sideline the female Kitchen Goddess.

Close your eyes, furrow your brows!

The goddess of the hearth said that she had never felt such a strong urge to hit someone before!

'Hmph, so what if you call for reinforcements? You can call for help, so can I.'

The goddess of the hearth, who had been pushed aside, silently took out her phone and began to edit a message. Could she really let other factions turn the world upside down on her own turf?

"Cough cough cough~"

Upon hearing this, Jing Su, who was drinking soup, almost choked.

"Commander, are you alright?" Bismarck, who had been observing from the side, finally found an opportunity to come close and ask Jing Su for help.

When Jing Su came to her senses, what came into view was a soft, fair complexion with a hint of pink. Her eyes narrowed immediately. No matter how many times she had experienced this scene, it was still quite exciting, especially since the person in front of her was the notoriously wooden Bismarck.

"Hehe, Bismarck, there are so many people watching, don't do anything reckless." The one who reacted the fastest this time was Yuanchou. She had somehow gotten close to Jing Su and patted her back lightly, while also trying to push the other ship girls to other places.

With another heavyweight joining the fray, Jing Su knew that this meal was likely to be anything but peaceful.

"Commander, and everyone else? What's going on?"

Just then, a clear, cold voice rang out. Upon hearing this voice, everyone—Bismarck, his grudges, and even Belfast—began to stand aside.

"Enterprise, you're here for dinner too? Come, come, sit down quickly, we've been waiting for you to join us." The goddess of the hearth's joyful voice rang out, and she quickly rushed forward and pulled Enterprise over.

Yes, the Enterprise has arrived. It is the most important presence in the entire restaurant and even the entire frontline camp. It can be said that when the Enterprise appears, the White Eagle camp will directly kill the game. Even though the Enterprise is currently being dragged away by the Goddess of the Hearth with a bewildered look on her face, she obviously has not yet figured out what is happening on the scene.

Just now, Enterprise, who had just finished her daily training, was about to get some naval fast food for lunch when she suddenly received a communication from Vestal, telling her to come to the canteen immediately. Enterprise didn't want to come, since she already had her own military fast food, and even in the port area, wasting food was a shameful act. But she couldn't resist Vestal's constant urging.

After thinking for a while, the company finally decided to go to the restaurant to see what was going on. Of course, this was because her good friend, the goddess of the hearth, had called her there, not because the commander was also in the restaurant at the moment.

Once Enterprise appears in the restaurant, all competition becomes meaningless, because even if all the ship girls present were combined, they might not be able to defeat Enterprise alone. The reason for this uncertainty is that Belfast is present. She has a good relationship with Enterprise, and with the help of her nemesis, they might be able to trick Enterprise into withdrawing from the competition.

However, since the goddess of the hearth was also in the dining room at that moment, there was no chance.

"Enterprise, you're here too, come on over." Hearing Enterprise's voice, Jing Su reacted and immediately called Enterprise over. The rice bowl that Belfast had taken earlier hadn't been dealt with yet, and she hadn't touched the broccoli and pork stir-fry that had just been brought over, so she didn't need to get a new dish.

"Yes, Commander, I'm here."

Upon hearing Jing Su's voice, a pleasant smile appeared on Qiye's usually cold face. In that instant, it was as if peach blossoms were blooming in March, and Jing Su felt as if she were bathed in a spring breeze!

Having been in this world for so long, both Jing Su and the ship girls have come to a deep understanding of their feelings for each other. They might not have felt anything before meeting, but once they do, the overwhelming impulse and the love that they can't control will quickly overwhelm their reason.

After hearing that Jing Su had lost her memories, would the ship girls feel unfamiliar, awkward, or even a little reserved when interacting with her? This would make the ship girls feel uncomfortable.

But when they actually spent time with Jing Su, the ship girls realized that they had worried too much. Memories may fade, but love remains deep in their bones. Some people may forget many things, but they will never forget loving you!

These are the words of many ship girls who have spent time with Jing Su. Perhaps Jing Su himself did not realize that he was not at all reserved when he was with the ship girls. On the contrary, he was quite natural and relaxed. Or rather, he subconsciously accepted their feelings, as if he had really been with the ship girls for a long time.

This feeling is like a child coming home from school and acting spoiled towards their parents—it doesn't need any reason, it's a natural thing, and everything is etched into the soul.

But precisely because of this situation, when the company appeared in the restaurant, the other ship girls all gave up their little schemes, because they absolutely couldn't compete.

What the company means to Jing Su is something that even Jing Su herself may not be able to say for sure.

But one thing is certain: the enterprises have accompanied the port area throughout its entire development process, from the port area's grasslands to its growth and expansion. All along the way, the enterprises have always been the most important people in Jing Su's mind. Even later, when colorful boats gathered and golden boats rained down, the enterprises were still in the first tier.

According to the comic, the company is like a white moonlight to Jing Su, which shows just how important it is to her.

In the entire port area, if we're talking about influence, only Glory has the potential to compete with the company.

If the company is Jing Su's ideal woman, then Guanghui is his wife. During the period when Jing Su most wanted to develop the port area, she gave him the motivation to persevere. It can be said that without Guanghui, Jing Su might have left the port area a long time ago.

Therefore, all the ship girls in the entire port area, including Enterprise, have great respect for Illustrious. Just comforting Jing Su and encouraging him to persevere was enough to gain the approval of these proud Valkyries.

Of course, while I acknowledge their abilities, I will still target them fiercely when necessary. After all, there's only one husband, but so many ship girls. If I don't compete fiercely and just rely on taking turns, I'm afraid I'll never get my turn.

In a competition, the biggest threat must be eliminated. So Glorious was 'happily' placed in the Royal camp by Her Majesty the Queen. After all, Glorious's misfortune was that the Royal camp she belonged to had an absolute leader. With Queen Elizabeth suppressing her, she had no choice but to do many things.

But on the front lines, or rather, within the White Eagle camp, the situation was completely different. The White Eagle camp didn't have any human incarnations, so theoretically, the company's influence on the front lines was unmatched. Unfortunately, precisely because Jing Su had such a deep bond with the company, it fell into a state of isolation after Jing Su's disappearance, essentially wasting three years.

Even so, Belfast was able to leverage the company's influence to become the frontline commander-in-chief and stabilize the situation, which shows just how terrifying the company's influence is.

"Enterprise, you still have training today? Is it that hard?" After Enterprise sat down, Jing Su naturally started chatting with her. When he learned that Enterprise came from the training ground, Jing Su was a little surprised. After all, all the ship girls on the front line had gone to the banquet to enjoy themselves last night. According to his plan, since it was a rest day, she should have rested for at least three days. But Enterprise went to training on the second day.
