Shipgirls and Salted Fish Commander, Port Survival Guide

Yes, that's right. Yi Xian, the person in charge of the Donghuang camp, who is known for his composure and calmness, is now completely out of control. And not just a little bit out of control. With the commotion just now, Jing Su even suspected that Yi Xian would have torn down the house.

"So, Yixian, who made you so angry? We're all good sisters in the port area, can you tell me what happened?" Seeing that Yixian had calmed down, Jing Su quickly shared her thoughts.

While claiming to offer comfort and help, Jing Su's words were actually purely intended to stir up trouble. This was Yi Xian, after all. For Yi Xian to be so angry, there must be some really big gossip going on. At this moment, Jing Su awakened his gossip-loving spirit and transformed into a gossip god.

"Ahem, Commander, please stop teasing me." Yi Xian, being such a clever and intelligent person, clearly understood what Jing Su wanted to say, and immediately blushed with embarrassment. If this place weren't a solid ceiling, Yi Xian felt she could carve out a three-bedroom apartment from it.

What else could it be? If your best friend, sister, or even brother beat you to it when you're getting ready to get married, and even uses everything you prepared, you'd be angry too.

Although, strictly speaking, I am not Jing Su's husband yet, and I do not wear a ring; it is my best friend who does.

But I'm still so angry!

I'm not reconciled!!

"Beware of fire, theft, and your best friend"—this old saying is absolutely true!

"Haha, it's rare to see Yat-Sen like this. It's a real pity we didn't have a camera with us, otherwise, it would definitely be a blockbuster photo in Hong Kong."

"Commander!" Yi Xian stamped her foot and said angrily.

Yi Xian was both ashamed and angry, wishing she could give Jing Su a good whack on the head. However, Yi Xian was Yi Xian after all, and she quickly came up with a way to change the subject.

“Speaking of which, Commander, I just saw Changchun run out of the room in a huff. Did something happen? It’s rare to see that kid so angry.”

"Cough cough cough~"

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

But, well, that's foul, way too foul. Yi Xian's expression right now is just too foul.

When a kind person asks you a question, they'll wink at you and look at you with affection!

Jing Su felt goosebumps all over her body and recounted everything that had just happened, including her thoughts after discussing it with Binjiang.

Of course, Jing Su omitted his discussion with Binjiang. He wasn't stupid; he could tell from Yi Xian's expression that she didn't want to share the topic. And when Yi Xian came in, she was shouting at Binjiang, so Jing Su naturally wouldn't go looking for trouble.

"Haha, so, Commander, you made Changchun cry because of this?" As Jing Su expected, Yi Xian also started to laugh after hearing Jing Su's retelling. However, there is one thing to admit: otherwise, how could Yi Xian be called a graceful lady? Even though she was indeed laughing happily, Yi Xian still covered her mouth with her hand and laughed softly.

If it weren't for the obvious trembling in her shoulders, Jing Su would have suspected that Yi Xian was just covering her mouth.

"Cough cough cough, why are you like this too?" Jing Su said helplessly. He couldn't understand it. Was it because he didn't allow the children to dress up ridiculously, or was it something else? He always felt that Binjiang and Yixian, these two girls, were definitely hiding something from him.

"Hehe, how should I put it, Commander, perhaps you didn't understand the meaning of these ornaments." Yi Xian chuckled, but did not answer Jing Su's question. Instead, she looked at the sparkling ornaments on Jing Su's body, lost in thought.

"Huh!?" Jing Su was a little confused. What meaning could a few ornaments possibly have? If you're talking about rings, Jing Su would agree that they have special meanings, but do watches and necklaces really have any special meanings?

If Yixian knew what Jingsu was thinking at this moment, she would probably laugh so hard she couldn't stand up straight, and at the same time sigh, "Who told you that only watches and necklaces count as accessories?"

However, just as Jing Su said before, some things are only uncomfortable at first when you wear them. After a while, you get used to them and you can't feel their presence at all.

While communicating with Changchun just now, Jing Su completely forgot that she had an accessory on her body that she had been wearing since the day she returned from the time travel. However, it had been so long that she had genuinely forgotten about it.

"Hehe, the commander wasn't wrong." As if she had thought of something, Yi Xian said to Jing Su with a smile.

"Huh? I thought you'd agree with Changchun's opinion." Jing Su's pupils widened slightly. He hadn't expected Yi Xian to be so eloquent. How come Binjiang and Yi Xian said completely different things? What happened to their supposed best friend relationship?

“The commander’s opinion is correct. Changchun is indeed still a child. Wearing a watch is fine, but we shouldn’t let her get involved in anything else. If she doesn’t learn good things, what will become of her in the future?” Yixian smiled and gradually approached Jingsu under Jingsu’s surprised gaze.

“Right? That’s what I think too, Yixian. We still need you.” Jing Su nodded, quite happy that someone agreed with her. Although Jing Su still felt that something was not quite right, she couldn’t quite put her finger on it. As she nodded, she ignored Yixian, who was getting closer and closer to her.

"Hehe, Commander, Changchun is a child, so of course he can't do that, but I'm not. I'm an adult, so I can wear accessories and stuff~" Yixian whispered in Jingsu's ear, her breath sweet as orchids.

"Huh!?" Jing Su was startled and jumped up as if in shock, but no matter how hard she tried, nothing happened. It turned out that Yi Xian had been pressing down on her shoulder without her noticing.

"Cough cough cough, Yixian, what do you mean by that?" A chill ran down her spine, a bone-chilling cold. Although she didn't know what had happened, Jing Su knew that something bad was about to happen.

"Hehe, Commander, perfect timing! I don't have any nice accessories on me either. Like Changchun, I have some nice things I want to wear but can't. Let's get one together this way~"

I'm sure some ship girls have said this to you, Commander, but I'll repeat it again: what you're about to wear is a matching set, so don't take it off!

"Eh!?"

At this moment, Jing Su finally understood what Chang Chun had been insisting on!

Chapter 249 Making you happy, what does that matter?

"You stinky commander, you bad commander, I'm never talking to you again!" On the riverbank, a girl wearing a thick coat despite the sweltering summer heat was squatting down, throwing stones into the river.

Before long, all the stones around the girl were gone, making her even more unhappy.

If you're unhappy, you should find ways to cheer yourself up.

So, what's the easiest way to cheer yourself up?

Yeah, it's still about using bombs to blast fish!

Such a plump and juicy fish! Should we grill it or steam it?

As she remained angry, the girl began to fantasize about how to prepare a delicious lunch for herself.

'Hmph, you stinky commander, wait until I cook a delicious feast, take a picture, and then I won't let you eat any. I'll make you drool! Hehehe.'

The girl's eyes were shining; she had clearly convinced herself. She happily took out a torpedo, ready to throw it into the lake.

"Ahem, Changchun, you're about to cause trouble the moment I take your eyes off you!"

"Hey hey hey!" Just as Changchun was about to throw the bomb into the lake, a voice suddenly came, stopping Changchun in his tracks. But he had already made the move to throw the bomb and couldn't stop.

It needs to be stopped, but it can't be stopped.

So the girl could only watch helplessly as the bomb, to her utter astonishment, crashed heavily onto the ground in front of her.

"boom!"

"Wow!!"

A deafening roar, a scream, and dust billowing everywhere.

"Cough cough cough, no, Changchun, what are you doing?" Jing Su, covered in dust and dirt from the aftershocks of the explosion, coughed and complained.

"Commander, you're bullying me!"

Compassion, amidst the swirling dust, is the girl's compassion.

"Huh!?" Jing Su was stunned. She had specifically run out of her room to comfort this sulking little girl, but now she was turning the tables on her?

"Wow~"

Just as Jing Su was about to say something more, a light drizzle suddenly began to fall from the sky, accompanied by the pitiful sound of fish hitting the ground.

Clearly, even though it wasn't thrown into deep water, the power of the Changchun bomb still managed to blast out quite a few fish.

"Changchun, are you alright? Are you hurt?" Seeing this scene, Jing Su was shocked and rushed into the smoke and dust to look for Changchun. If the near-shore explosion had this power, what must Changchun be like at the center of the explosion?

Just as she rushed into the smoke and dust, before she could even search, Jing Su found herself being tightly embraced by someone—it could only be Chang Chun or Chi.

"Hmph, you stinky commander, all you do is bully me."

As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, a clear murmur rang out. Jing Su, feeling as if she had been electrocuted, looked down and saw Chang Chun, wearing a tiger-ear hood, with her arms around her waist. The silver-white ship equipment behind her shone brightly. Clearly, Chang Chun had deployed her ship equipment when the bomb exploded.

Speaking of which, ship girls are quite amazing creatures. When they don't deploy their ship equipment, they are not much different from ordinary girls, whether in terms of physical strength or physical fitness.

But once they deploy their ship equipment, each and every one of the ship girls becomes an incredibly powerful female war goddess. While it's true that not everyone can fly or dive into the ground, being invulnerable to swords and bullets is definitely not a problem.

It can be said that as long as the ship's equipment is still deployed, it can withstand several missiles, let alone cold weapons like swords. Of course, it will still get damaged.

For example, just now, what happened between Yixian and me in the room, after it was over, I acted like nothing happened, without any reaction at all.

The name "Rubik's Cube Master" is truly well-deserved.

So when I saw Changchun's shiny ship equipment, I breathed a sigh of relief. But thinking about it, it makes sense. How could Changchun take out the bombs without unfolding its ship equipment?

"Oh dear, who made our lovely little princess angry? Changchun, tell the commander, and I'll go teach him a lesson for you." Seeing Changchun's expression, Jing Su felt relieved. The little girl was indeed angry, but she was still willing to fry fish for lunch, so there wasn't a big problem. She was someone who could be persuaded, and was easy to persuade.

If when I come over, Changchun is squatting on the ground, tears streaming down her face, her little head buried in her hood, ignoring me no matter how I call her, then that would be a real problem.

Jing Su was also worried about Changchun becoming like this. She rushed over after being tormented by Yi Xian. Yi Xian didn't seem to react much, or rather, she was eager to show off elsewhere. Who says a lady doesn't want to flaunt her status to others?

Especially Yixian, who was tricked by her best friend, she's going to get her revenge this time.

In addition, Yixian was indeed a little worried about Changchun's situation. If Jingsu hadn't brought it up, she would have gone to find Changchun after they parted ways.

Now that Jing Su has taken the initiative to go to Changchun, Yi Xian is relieved. After Jing Su's return, Yi Xian's greatest self-awareness about him is that this rascal has a sharp tongue. Even though he doesn't seem to say anything impressive, he can still make people feel shy and stare at him longingly.

Of course, this is also largely due to the fact that the ship girls are deeply immersed in their love and cannot extricate themselves. There is a saying that goes, "Those who are favored are fearless." Everyone loves Jing Su to the core, and they are already very happy just to be able to chat with him.

In this situation, as long as Jing Su doesn't make any fundamental mistakes, the ship girls are happy to be with him. Of course, even if he does make a fundamental mistake, it's okay, he'll get a seat in the Formalin!

Just like Akagi said, by doing this, I can be with the Commander forever.

"Hmph~ You big bad commander, all you do is annoy me." Changchun muttered, but her head was buried deep in Jing Su's chest, and she didn't want to come out at all.

"Alright, alright, I apologize. I shouldn't have said that to you earlier, Changchun. I've thought about it carefully. You're of age now, and you really can pursue what you like. I shouldn't have stopped you." Jing Su chuckled and stroked Changchun's hood.

"Huh, really?" Changchun suddenly looked up, looking at Jingsu with anticipation.

"Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?" Jing Su remained noncommittal.

"Then...I want to..." Upon hearing Jing Su's words, Chang Chun's eyes lit up, ready to tell her what she hadn't finished doing in the room earlier.

"This is the only thing you can't do~" Jing Su naturally knew what Chang Chun wanted to say and interrupted him directly.

"Eh!? Commander, you're lying! You clearly said it was okay!" Changchun left Jing Su's body, stomped her foot a short distance away, and muttered something cute.

"I said yes, but your sister Yixian said no." Jing Su shrugged, looking helpless, but the smile in her eyes was impossible to hide.

No wonder people always bring up other people when refusing, especially quoting an authoritative figure; doing so can significantly reduce the other party's room for maneuver.

"Ah~" Changchun dragged out the sound, sounding very frustrated. In the Donghuang camp, or rather, in the entire port area, she was fearless. She was small in size but very strong. Not to mention ships of the same size, in the entire port area, there were very few ship girls who could say they could reliably beat Changchun in a one-on-one fight.

However, as the saying goes, one thing subdues another, and brine sets tofu. In the port area, Changchun is only afraid of Yixian, or rather, she only listens to Yixian. As for the other ship girls, she can only listen selectively. If she encounters someone she doesn't like, she will run away immediately. Even Binjiang is helpless when she sees this.

As for Jing Su, it depends on the situation. In combat, it's a superior-subordinate relationship. Not to mention Changchun, even Ron Akagi in his berserk state would have to obey. But in private...

"Sister Yixian would never say that, Commander, you're lying!" Changchun was clearly very unconvinced.

"When have I ever lied to you? If you don't believe me, go find Yixian." As a seasoned parent from the countryside, Jing Su naturally knew what Changchun was thinking. She was incredulous and shocked, but helpless. In short, she was very frustrated.

"But, but, Commander, you're wearing my gift on your body!" Suddenly, Changchun seemed to have discovered something, pointing directly at the extra ornament on Jing Su's body.

"Ahem, yes, but the other part is with your sister Yixian now. If you think there's a problem, go find her." Jing Su decisively resorted to the tactic of shifting blame, and it has to be said, this method is really effective.

"Eh~ How could this be! Wow." Changchun couldn't believe it, but as a ship girl, she was extremely perceptive. She could sense that Jing Su hadn't lied to her. Just as Jing Su said, he had never lied to her.

But it is precisely because of this that Changchun collapsed like this; the truth is often the most hurtful!

"Ahem, Changchun." Seeing this scene, Jing Su knew she had to step in and say something. "What are you angry about?"

"Huh?" Changchun was taken aback and looked up at Jing Su. Why am I angry? Don't you, the culprit, have any self-awareness?

However, just as Changchun was about to say something, he was interrupted by Jingsu.

"Changchun, what is the purpose of your gift?" Jing Su asked first, but before Changchun could speak, Jing Su answered herself, "It's to leave an indelible mark on each other, right?"

Well, that might be a bit extreme, but basically, your goal is for each other to remember you, right?

"Hmm~" Clearly, Jing Su had guessed right. Changchun lowered her cute little head, looking adorable.

"Now, aren't these ornaments already on my body? Changchun, you've achieved your goal." Jing Su squatted down, reaching over the hood to gently stroke Changchun's hair.

"But it's different. The other one isn't on me."

"Isn't it the same with your sister Yixian? We are all one family in Donghuang, and we have such a good relationship. Does it matter who it is? As long as the sentiment is there, that's enough. Changchun, I really felt your sentiment." Thanks to having spent time with so many ship girls, Jing Su directly quoted some of the ship girls from the Royal Navy, and the effect was indeed quite good.

"But, but..." Changchun wanted to say something, but Jingsu could obviously sense her wavering, so he simply picked her up and swung her around in the air.

"There's no 'but' about it, Changchun. Do we need external things to prove our feelings for each other? Will wearing these ornaments strengthen our relationship? Will not wearing them weaken it? It seems like there's no effect at all."

Feelings don't have much to do with external things; what matters is the genuine emotion in your heart. If I truly like something, I'll be happy even with just a flower or a piece of paper.

So, my dear little princess, let's have some fun together! There are so many fish here, let's have a joyful all-fish feast!

"Hehehe, Commander, you're right, Changchun, I like you the most." Changchun danced around excitedly, jumped off Jing Su, and ran off to pick up fish.

Jing Su followed behind her, happily helping out.

As it turns out, Changchun is easy to appease, or rather, the girl wasn't angry at all. When I first arrived, she was thinking about frying fish—no, she had already fryed fish, and I just came here to take advantage of what was already there.

Let's observe three minutes of silence for the poor little fish.

However, seeing Changchun's jubilant reaction, Jing Su was still very happy. After all, who wouldn't be happy to have such a lively little princess around?

With Changchun by my side, I'll never have to worry about being lonely.

"Commander, come quick! I found a really big fish!" Just as she was thinking this, Changchun suddenly called out to her.
