Shipgirls and Salted Fish Commander, Port Survival Guide

Jing Su was like a puppet, manipulated by Saratoga in various ways. Whether intentionally or accidentally, there were certain parts of her body that Saratoga would touch repeatedly, making Jing Su feel a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Jing Su could still control herself because of Saratoga's figure. After all, she was quite flat-chested, and Jing Su could hypnotize herself into thinking that she was just a short makeup artist!

Because of Jing Su's nervous expression, Saratoga thought that Jing Su was captivated by her, and her body swayed even more.

"Ahem, okay, it's all done, right? Then hurry up and dial it, the sooner we're done, the sooner we can get on with other things." Hearing that it was all done, Jing Su felt relieved. She opened her eyes and was about to speak when she saw a petite figure in front of her.

"Hehe, Commander, take a closer look, he really is handsome! I can't resist!"

Then, Saratoga leaned down and kissed Jing Su on the lips.

"What are you doing, Saratoga?!" Jing Su was startled. If Saratoga hadn't actually been riding on him, he might have been thrown off.

"Eh~ I thought you'd be more excited, Commander~" Saratoga muttered, a little disappointed that she didn't see the reaction she wanted from Jing Su. But she quickly composed herself and got up from Jing Su to do other things.

"Well, we should definitely be more excited." After spending so much time together, Jing Su's ability to read people's expressions has improved significantly. Although the melancholy in Saratoga's eyes just now was fleeting, Jing Su keenly caught it.

"Hey hey hey!" Saratoga, who had just jumped off Jing Su, found that she did not fall to the ground as expected, but was suspended in mid-air.

It turned out that Jing Su reacted quickly, grabbing Saratoga under her armpits and suspending her in mid-air.

“Commander?” Saratoga turned his head in confusion, only to see…

"Pop~ Squeak~"

A kiss that deepened their love.

"Jiajia, how are you feeling now?" Jing Su whispered in Saratoga's ear.

"I...I...I...you...you...pointing at the Commander!" Saratoga was somewhat incoherent.

"Hmm, looks like you're still not satisfied. Let's do it again!"

*Smack*

Two kisses closed.

Saratoga's body went limp, and she lay motionless in Jing Su's arms.

"Jiajia?" Jing Su was a little worried, thinking that it shouldn't be like this. It was just two kisses. Although it was a French kiss, no matter how much the ship girl looked for, her lung capacity should be stronger than that of a human like herself.

"Hehehe~~" Just as she was worrying, Saratoga's figure suddenly trembled.

"?"

Oh no, Saratoga has gone mad!

"Hehehe, Commander, the White Eagle carrier sisters are almost here~ just a moment."

"Huh, the Eagle Union aircraft carrier? What are they doing here?" Jing Su was taken aback. Wasn't she about to meet with the Maritime Bureau staff? How did she get involved with the Eagle Union aircraft carrier girls?

"Huh? Commander, what do you mean by that?" Saratoga muttered, but a sly glint flashed in her eyes. "For a once-in-a-lifetime occasion like this, of course we need to invite people to witness it. Saratoga is a veteran of the White Eagles, and I respect her a lot, so we definitely need to invite lots and lots of people to witness it."

Well, the aircraft carrier sisters aren't enough, we need to call in the battleship sisters too!

Hehe, it just so happens that ship girls from other factions are here too. Hmm, I should call them over as well. Oh dear, at this rate, I'll have to prepare a really, really big room. I wonder if 500 square meters will be enough.

"Damn it, if I'd known, I should have built the house bigger on the spot!"

"Cough cough cough!" Looking at Saratoga, who was lost in a reverie, Jing Su suddenly started coughing violently. It was just one, oh, two kisses, how did it turn into a lifelong commitment? Isn't this a bit too much of a leap?

And are you sure that calling people over now is to witness our wonderful moment, and not to create a super chaotic scene?

"Hey, Commander, are you trying to back out? Let me tell you, the consequences of betraying Saratoga are very serious~ I'll bite you!" Upon hearing Jing Su's voice, Saratoga suddenly bared her teeth and claws.

"Yes, Commander, you mustn't let Saratoga down~" Just then, a gentle voice suddenly rang out in the room. Upon hearing this voice, Saratoga jumped off Jing Su and hopped over to the source of the sound.

"Sister, sister, what brings you here!" Saratoga rushed into the other's arms, her voice a mix of joy and worry.

"Hehe, my dear sister, how could I possibly be absent from such an important occasion? In fact, I came over before you sent the group message, or rather, after I learned that you were going to be alone with the Commander." The gentle older sister stroked Saratoga's hair, and the latter made a comfortable sound.

Yes, the person who arrived at the scene was none other than Saratoga's older sister, Lexington, a super gentle aircraft carrier ship girl who could be voted the "Port Ward's Wife".

"Lexington, long time no see." It's a little embarrassing to say, but Jing Su's impression of Lexington actually comes more from another game. If in Azur Lane, players would probably argue to the death about who is the strongest waifu, then in the other game, Lexington is almost the undisputed waifu!

Of course, in Azur Lane and in the port area, Lexington is also a very nice wife, with overflowing wifely qualities.

"Commander, it's been a long time. Lexington-class aircraft carrier, CV-2, reporting for duty." After gently placing Saratoga aside, Lexington saluted Jing Su and said softly.

To be honest, she truly lives up to her reputation as the epitome of gentleness. Even when giving a military salute, she exudes such tenderness!

"Lexington, how gentle she is~" Seeing this scene, Jing Su subconsciously said this.

"Gentle?" Hearing Jing Su's words, Lexington smiled slightly. "Perhaps it's because I'm like an older sister to everyone. Of course, in my eyes, the Commander is also a cute junior~"

It's melted, it's melted! My heart of stone has completely melted!

How can she be so gentle?

Ah, this tenderness is beyond words, Jing Su almost wanted to kneel down and sing "Conquer" to Lexington!

To some extent, Jing Su understood why Saratoga was so infatuated with her sister Lexington. Who could resist such a gentle older sister?

Having Lexington around gives you the feeling that you can entrust everything to her and she can handle everything perfectly and properly.

Hmm, maybe it's not a feeling.

Lexington was undoubtedly a master of management in the port area. Whether it was politics or taking care of people, it seemed that no matter what the problem or difficulty was, it was just a passing cloud in front of her. With a wave of her sleeve, it could easily dissipate.

“Lexington, Saratoga kept talking about you just now. You could tell she really wanted to be with you~” Recalling the scene with Saratoga just now, Saratoga, apart from joking, basically mentioned Lexington every other sentence. She was almost reading Lexington’s quotes from a book.

Moreover, you can sense that Saratoga really depends on her sister Lexington. Of course, with a sister like that, who wouldn't depend on her?

"Really? Hehe, Jiajia, you really do need to grow up quickly. Always relying on me isn't a good thing~" Hearing Jing Su's words, Lexington didn't doubt it much, obviously knowing very well what her younger sister was like on a daily basis.

"No, no, Sara doesn't want to do that. Sara has her big sister, that's enough for her~" Saratoga swayed back and forth in Lexington's arms, acting coquettishly, "Well, now there's also a Commander, and the Commander is very reliable!"

“Lexington, don’t let Gaga’s appearance fool you, she’s actually quite reliable. Before I came, she handled a lot of things on her own.” Jing Su spoke up for Saratoga. “Ahem, to be precise, after I came, I actually made things a little worse. Sara is the most reliable one, handling everything very considerately.”

"Haha, really? Sara is working so hard. If that's the case, then I, as her older sister, can rest assured." Clearly, Lexington also possesses Saratoga, and upon hearing Jing Su praise Saratoga, Lexington showed a joyful and happy expression.

In some ways, the two are sisters with a very deep bond.

"Yeah, Saratoga is really reliable. Of course, it would be even better if she could joke around less." Despite the praise, Saratoga's occasional pranks were also a source of embarrassment.

"Is that so? Then please forgive me, Commander." Clearly, Lexington had no intention of interfering.

'Ah, now I understand why Saratoga's pranks went on everywhere and no one could stop her. Turns out, nobody really cares!'

Seeing Lexington's attitude towards Saratoga's prank, Jing Su finally understood the source of the problem. However, she had to admit that this was truly a blessing. Having a sister who was willing to tolerate and care for her was indeed a very happy thing.

No wonder Saratoga goes to great lengths to save her sister in the story; one of the few heartbreaking scenes in Azur Lane features Saratoga being separated from her sister.

“Hey, sister, your timing is perfect. It doesn’t matter if the others come or not, just come.” As she said this, Saratoga suddenly remembered the reason she had called the other carrier sisters to come earlier—to witness this great and sacred occasion!

In fact, she had already prepared herself for Lexington not to come, since Lexington's health was indeed not very good. In order to allow her sister to rest for a while longer, Saratoga did not invite Lexington.

But to my surprise, Lexington came over on her own without being invited.

That's enough. Even if none of the other aircraft carriers come, it doesn't matter. As long as Lexington comes, that's enough.

"Huh?" Lexington was a little confused. Actually, she didn't know what kind of occasion she was referring to when she mentioned an important occasion. Although she had guessed it might be something like that, she was still a little reluctant. But seeing that it was her sister, she hoped it really was that kind of occasion.

In short, Lexington is currently in a very conflicted state of mind.

"Hey, sister, you just said it was because of this important occasion that you came to find me. I remember it perfectly well. Sister, you can't go back on your word!" Seeing Lexington's puzzled expression, Saratoga shook Lexington's hand, refusing to let it go.

"Ahem, alright then." Lexington sighed helplessly. Saratoga had already made the point, so there was no point in pretending anymore. Although she felt a little regretful, she thought that Saratoga was still her sister, so she let it be. As an older sister, wasn't her only wish for her sisters to live happy lives? "On such an important occasion, I'll sing a song for everyone as a way of sending you my best wishes!"

Since it's already a fait accompli, I won't dwell on it. Instead, I'll offer my sincerest blessings and hope my sister can be happy.

"Oh yeah, Lexington's persona is that of a port idol~" Seeing Lexington already reaching for the microphone, Jing Su suddenly realized something. "Hmm? That expression...?"

As mentioned earlier, after this period of training, Jing Su's ability to observe other people's expressions has reached a high level. Just as he noticed Saratoga's dejection, Jing Su also noticed Lexington's disappointment and went over to her.

"Lexington, are you looking for something?"

"Hmm, I'm looking for the microphone. Wait, that's strange, I remember putting it here?"

"No, I don't think you're looking for the microphone. I think you're looking for this."

"Huh? What? Hmm!?" Lexington, a little confused, turned around and saw Jing Su kneeling on the ground.

"Lexington, I hope that from now on we can face life's storms together."

From now on, through thick and thin, we'll face everything together!

Without waiting for Lexington's reaction, Jing Su slipped the object in her hand onto Lexington's ring finger.

"This..." Lexington looked at the glittering object in her hand, the one she had always dreamed of, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. The thing she had once longed for had actually come true under these circumstances.

"As expected, it didn't work..." Jing Su was a little embarrassed. Was her first attempt, which she had finally mustered up the courage to do, going to end in failure?

"Hehe, hehe, I thought the Commander was going to make me wait a long time~ In that case, tickets for a solo live performance with only one spot will go on sale soon, and the event will be—forever~"

Seeing Jing Su's embarrassed expression, Lexington smiled slightly, "This is just what it feels like to be troubled by someone you like."

"Huh!?" Jing Su was stunned. What does it mean to find a way out after seemingly having no other option?

That's called a surprise.

"Sister, sister, I found the microphone, hey?" Saratoga excitedly came to find her sister Lexington and Jing Su, holding up a microphone with a stick, only to see a scene that shocked her.

A couple, eyes closed, lips intertwined, their happiness overflowing!

'Huh, what happened? I remember Sarah arrived first, right?'

Chapter 276 I Have Ship Girls

"Alright, alright, Commander, it's all clean now." Saratoga's cheerful voice rang in my ears.

"Are you sure?" Jing Su tilted her head, glanced at Saratoga, and then snatched the mirror, beginning to examine it closely.

"Hey, Commander, you're really hurting Sara's feelings. So, in your eyes, I'm really that untrustworthy?" Saratoga made a hurt expression, her actions extremely exaggerated.

"Hehe." Jing Su did not answer.

It's not that I don't want to, Jing Su just stated his opinion today: you Saratoga, I won't believe a single word you say from now on!

They promised to wear rings but ended up doing it somewhere else; they promised to kiss but instead shoved it into her face!

There's nothing wrong with a husband and wife kissing, but the problem is that Jing Su noticed that the ship girls in the port area especially liked to wear such bright lipstick. By the time Jing Su realized it, her lips, face, and neck were covered in bright red lipstick marks.

He still has to meet with officials from the Maritime Safety Administration later.

Okay, even if we ignore the people from the Maritime Bureau, according to Saratoga, she invited a bunch of Eagle Union carrier ship girls to attend her ceremony. Those are ship girls from the port area!

She even called over ship girls from other factions. If the other ship girls saw Jing Su covered in red marks, what would they think?

They'd be torn to shreds by the ship girls!

So Jing Su helplessly told Saratoga to quickly clean herself up.

But out of his sight, Saratoga's eyes lit up, and he pulled out a series of lipsticks of different colors and began painting on Jing Su's face.

By the time Jing Su realized what was happening, there were many circles around her eyes, mouth, and nose. Not only had she not wiped off the lipstick, but the pattern had actually gotten worse!

Jing Su was so angry that he almost picked up Saratoga and slapped her butt, which scared Saratoga so much that she quickly ran behind Lexington, who was busy at work.

"Sister, sister, the commander is going to hit me!" Saratoga said pitifully.

"Hmm?" Lexington was still working on documents at his desk and didn't know what had just happened, so he immediately reassured her, "Commander, Sara is indeed a bit mischievous by nature. If she was just joking around, please forgive her... *chuckles*"

Lexington, who had just raised her head, glanced briefly at Jing Su's appearance and instantly couldn't hold back. She covered her mouth, bent over, squinted her eyes, and laughed heartily.

"You two!" Jing Su was speechless. She had to admit, they were truly a family. The younger sister loved to joke, while the older sister was responsible for cleaning up her messes. Jing Su finally understood why Saratoga was so unruly; with such a gentle older sister doting on her, anyone would be unruly.

"Hehe, Commander, sorry, I just couldn't help it~" Lexington laughed until tears streamed down her face. She barely managed to stop her trembling shoulders, but after glancing at Jing Su's expression, she couldn't hold back anymore. "Um, Sara, little sister, you, you go help the Commander wipe, wipe, haha, I can't take it anymore, hehe~"

"Yes, sister!" Saratoga, having received Lexington's order, saluted and walked solemnly to Jing Su. Then, her previously serious demeanor quickly shrugged. "Um, Commander, please forgive me, Saratoga. I'll never do it again!"

Saratoga took Jing Su's hand and shook it back and forth. Her tiny hand and Die Die's voice gave Jing Su goosebumps.

"Ahem, this, this won't happen again~" Saratoga had already said that, so what could Jing Su do? Of course, she chose to forgive her.

Then, Saratoga used a special makeup remover to remove the marks from Jing Su. Seeing this, Jing Su finally understood why the marks left on her by the ship girls could never be wiped off; it turned out that a special tool was needed.

It has to be said that Saratoga, despite her love of joking, has absolutely top-notch skills. Her soft little hands are incredibly comfortable to touch, and Jing Su, in particular, was thoroughly satisfied and wished she could close her eyes and enjoy it to the fullest.

"Okay, that's fine then, you've passed." After carefully checking her cheeks and neck and confirming that there were no residues, Jing Su nodded, tentatively acknowledging Saratoga's work.

"Hey, what a perfunctory answer, Commander. Saratoga works so hard, don't you want to show your appreciation?" Saratoga rushed up to Jing Su, blinking her big, bright eyes, full of cunning and liveliness.

"Hehe, I'm being lenient by not giving you a flick on the forehead." Jing Su rolled her eyes at Saratoga. "Why are you going to all this trouble? Whose problem is it? I don't think it's my problem."

"Tch, what a spoilsport~" Saratoga muttered, her eyes darting around again, as if she were brewing some new prank.
