Shipgirls and Salted Fish Commander, Port Survival Guide

It turned out that Jing Su, taking advantage of her unpreparedness—no, right in front of Belfast—held her head in his hands, pressed her against his waist, bent down, and kissed her.

After the kiss, Belfast, blushing, collapsed onto Jing Su. The Belfast of last night's frenzied state was gone; now, Belfast was just a petite... plump, pitiful little maid, a pathetic creature being brutally bullied by the big bad wolf commander.

"Alright, you just rest well today. Leave everything else to me. In any case, rely on me a lot, my lovely little maid~"

"Commander~" Belfast hesitated for a moment, then lowered her eyes and smiled. Jing Su had already said so, what could she do? Of course, she had to obey. No matter how you looked at it, she had to obey.

Breakfast was delivered by Sirius, and Jing Su was quite startled when she opened the door.

Because at this moment, Sirius's eyes were sunken, his dark circles were extremely heavy, he was swaying and could barely stand, and the milk and other things on the plate he was carrying were visibly spilled.

"Tian, ​​Sirius, are you alright?" Jing Su was terrified by Sirius's condition, thinking that Sirius had been ambushed and seriously injured by the Sirens during his attack.

"I, my proud master, I... I'm fine, it's just that I didn't sleep well last night!" Sirius said through gritted teeth, glancing at Jing Su with a rather resentful expression, or rather, noticing the faint trace of lipstick still visible on Jing Su's face.

'This color is only used by Miss Belfast in the entire port area, so was she the one who attacked Master last night? Damn it, so close, just one step away, oh damn it!'

Sirius was on the verge of tears. What could she say to Jing Su's question? She could say that she planned to launch a sneak attack last night, but someone beat her to it and got there just in time for the main event. That guy had put Sirius in a dilemma, leaving her with no choice but to stay or leave.

At this point, Sirius was finally able to point out some of the shortcomings of the White Eagle's housing—the soundproofing was terrible!

Even though they were so far apart, Sirius could hear everything clearly from the doorway.

'It's not that I'm shouting too loudly, Commander wouldn't do that!!!'

Sirius even bit her collar until it tore open, unwilling to believe that she had been outdone by a newcomer, even though that so-called newcomer was the head of her royal maid corps!

As the saying goes, once you've tasted the marrow, you'll know the flavor. Sirius, who already knew quite a lot, could roughly guess Belfast and Jing Su's current position just by listening to their voices, and then his body reacted accordingly!

Now she couldn't sleep at all, tossing and turning in the next room all night, the alarm clock didn't even go off before she did.

why?

Angry!

"You should rest well today. Um, I'll have Belfast take care of you later~" Seeing Sirius's appearance, Jing Su could roughly guess what had happened. His face turned red, but he didn't bring it up. After all, it was a bit embarrassing to be overheard while doing "that".

"I, my proud master, are you... abandoning me?!" Upon hearing Jing Su tell her to go and rest, Sirius instantly sobered up, nearly crushing the plate in her hand.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Jing Su tapped Sirius on the forehead and said helplessly, "Even if I don't want myself, I won't abandon you. It's just that you really need to rest well right now. Listen to me, and we'll make our move again after you've rested."

"But..." Sirius clearly still wanted to try.

"Phew~" Seeing Sirius's reaction, Jing Su slapped his forehead, realizing he had gone in the wrong direction. "In your current state, you can't help me with anything. Rushing into action will only cause trouble. Get some rest, that's an order, do you hear me!"

"Yes, my proud master!" Jing Su's suddenly emphasized tone startled Sirius, who instinctively stopped and threw the breakfast in his hand, which hit Jing Su squarely.

"..." Seeing the bread slip off his head, Jing Su looked at Sirius speechlessly.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, my esteemed master, I'll go get you a new one right away!" Before Jing Su could say anything, Sirius quickly ran off to find breakfast for her.

"That sound just now, was it Sirius coming, Master?" At this moment, Belfast, who had changed her clothes, also came out of the room. She was about to say something when she exclaimed, "Master, what's wrong?"

......

"Pfft, hehe~ Ju, is it really like this?" After listening to Jing Su's analysis briefly, Belfast could no longer hold back and bent over, laughing heartily.

"What's so funny about this?" Jing Su glanced at Belfast.

"Hehe~" Her silvery laughter grew louder and louder.

"Phew~ How should I put it, Sirius, she heard you shouting all night yesterday~" Seeing Belfast like this, Jing Su felt helpless, and a thought of mutual destruction suddenly came to mind.

"Eh...!" Belfast was suddenly startled, her face visibly flushed, and faintly, a wisp of mist seemed to appear on her hair.

"I...she...she!!" With trembling eyes and shaking hands, Bei's French was incoherent.

"Otherwise, why would she look so haggard just now?" Jing Su's mischievousness kicked in, and she prepared to escalate the situation. "Oh, right, Sirius said she doesn't know if it's because the soundproofing in the White Eagle's house isn't good, but she's never heard anything this loud before~"

"Ugh, Commander, Master, please stop!" Belfast suddenly crouched down, covering her face, and cried out in despair.

"My proud master, I've brought you a new breakfast!" Just then, Sirius came over with a plate of new breakfast.

"Sirius! I'm not done with you!" Belfast let out a sharp cry and lunged at Sirius.

"Oh no, Miss Belfast, watch out, breakfast! Whoaah~"

...

"Hiss~ Ah~" Jing Su cried out in pain.

"Honestly, what can I say to you? It's not spring, and it's not the insect season. You can mess around all you want, but what kind of trick did you play to get yourself burned?"

"Ahem, this matter is a bit complicated." Sensing the disdainful look in Perseus's eyes, Jing Su coughed twice and said no more.

To be honest, he was also helpless. He should have known better than to make fun of Belfast. Belfast's lunge knocked over the breakfast again, and coincidentally, it spilled all over himself.

This second breakfast was different from the first; it included hot soup, which that guy had made for Jing Su.

Thankfully, Sirius was fast enough and had plenty of cooldown time, otherwise, I probably would have had to be hospitalized for a while.

“If it’s complicated, be careful. How old are you? Do you think insects don’t have brains? Doing things so recklessly is disrespectful to us…” Perseus suddenly stopped talking at this point. She knew that if she continued, the topic would become more serious.

"I'm sorry, I was too hasty." Jing Su offered his sincere apology to Perseus, after all, he was indeed at fault.

"If apologies were enough, what would be the point of having a military police force? Commander, do you also want to be a permanent prisoner like the Royal Ark?" With the topic changed, Perseus reverted to her usual sharp-tongued self, after all, she was genuinely angry now.

She was not only angry that Jing Su had injured her, but even angrier that Jing Su had ignored her after arriving at the front lines and hadn't come to find her for so long.

This hurt Perseus deeply, especially after seeing the new marks on Jing Su's body. Perseus knew that another good sister had broken through that level and become a member of her sisterhood.

At other times, the more sisters you have, the better. But this is the port area, and the sisters I just mentioned are pure competitors. It's not a case of the more the better!

"I know, Perseus is right~" Sensing a hint of melancholy hidden in Perseus's expression, Jing Su understood. While Perseus was getting the medicine, she grabbed him and pulled him into her arms.

"Ah! What are you doing?!" Perseus exclaimed in surprise. By the time she realized what was happening, she was already in Jing Su's arms.

Perseus wanted to struggle, but then remembered that Jing Su was injured, so she dared not move. After calming down, she thought to herself, "Isn't this exactly what I want?"

I simply closed my eyes, nestled in Jing Su's arms, and savored this moment of peace.

"It's my fault for not coming to see you for so long. I've been quite busy lately."

"No need to explain, it's fine as it is now~" Perseus stopped Jing Su from continuing.

Although she desperately wanted to possess Jing Su, Jing Su belonged to the port area, a fact that no one could deny; that is, no one could possess Jing Su exclusively.

No matter how much you want to do it, it's simply impossible.

No matter who it is, even if they just say it, they will be met with resistance from the other ship girls.

So even though she had successfully taken the position, and even though she had guessed that another sister had joined her last night, Perseus was only slightly annoyed, but she didn't say much. After all, she had been through the same thing herself. As a ship girl, she was already very satisfied to have a moment to enjoy the company of the commander.

She's a girl who's easily satisfied.

"Here, this is for you~" Jing Su seemed to have thought of something and took out a small box from her pocket.

"What...is this?" Perseus looked at the box with some curiosity, but she was certain that the contents of the box were not the ring. She already had the ring before Jing Su disappeared, so there was no need for Jing Su to give her a new one. Of course, even if he did give her one, she wouldn't say anything, and at most she wouldn't wear it.

After all, what she's wearing now is the Oath Ring, something very few ship girls in the entire port area can possess. The rings Jing Su gave out after her return, while beautiful, were made in this world, not the Oath Ring.

Admittedly, the ring is just a symbol, a symbol of the feelings between each other, but if they could, the ship girls would naturally prefer to receive the oath ring given by Jing Su.

"Open it and you'll see~"

"This is..." Perseus's eyes widened as he saw what was inside the box.

"Detailed? I'd love to see you wear it, but you're not allowed to wear this outside, okay? Only I can see it from now on!"

"...Um.."

Chapter 288 Finding a Way to Subdue

After parting ways with Perseus, Jing Su went to the cafeteria for a quick bite, chatted with the kids, played a few tricks with the trapeze, and then headed to the command center.

For now, the battle with the Sirens is the most important thing; everything else can wait.

So, although the wound still hurt a little, since it didn't affect her work much, Jing Su hurriedly ran to the command room to see if there were any new developments today.

"Commander, you've arrived~" As Jing Su entered the command room, the previously noisy room quickly quieted down.

"Oh, Commander, you're here. Hey, what's wrong with your wound...?" Saratoga, being the most playful, was the quickest and most carefree to run over and talk to Jing Su in this situation. But as soon as she got to his side, before she could say anything else, Saratoga noticed that something was off about Jing Su compared to yesterday.

"Ahem, well~" Jing Su touched her ear and said with a smile, "I accidentally spilled some while eating breakfast and burned myself. Don't worry, I've already had Perseus take care of it~"

Jing Su dared not say that her burns were caused by Sirius. In the conference room, every single one of these ship girls was extremely influential in their respective factions. If they knew that someone had hurt them, no matter who the other party was, whether they were ship girls or humans, they could basically forget about getting any benefits from it.

"Really, Commander, how could you be so careless?" Yi Xian quickly walked to Jing Su's side, touched Jing Su's cheek, and then touched his ear. Jing Su was a little sore from the accident, but she couldn't bear to say anything else.

Today, Yixian was wearing a bright green, high-slit cheongsam. In the gentle breeze, her long, slender legs, covered in super long black stockings, were faintly visible, leaving Jingsu speechless.

"Alright, alright, let's get to work!" Seeing that Yi Xian had gotten there first, the other ship girls were angry but helpless. What could they do when they were too slow?

But just because they are slow doesn't mean they can't do other things. Reporting on their work is a perfect excuse, isn't it?

"Then everyone sit down, share yesterday's results, and then plan the next steps." Jing Su was also thinking of a way to escape; if she didn't keep an eye on Yi Xian, Yi Xian's hands were practically poking holes in her ears—and that pressure really hurt!

Yi Xian, being such a clever person, was immediately displeased when she heard Jing Su say that her wounds were being treated at the Perseus. Good heavens, we've been waiting for you here for so long, and you've gone to flirt with ship girls from other factions, and you haven't even come to me to treat your wounds!

As it turns out, never anger an honest person. The gentler a person is, the more terrifying they can be when they get angry. Didn't you see that Binjiang is avoiding Yixian?

"Stab~"

A tearing sound was heard.

"!"

Jing Su sprang up like lightning, covered her ears, and ran away!

"Hey, sister, what did the Commander do to make Yixian so angry? Her resentment is practically overflowing."

Saratoga whispered all of this to her sister.

"Who knows? Maybe they saw something that made them blush."

"Huh? Is it that embarrassing thing I'm thinking about?"

"You're always so irresponsible. Alright, let's prepare the materials. The commander is about to begin questioning you."

"Ahem~" Jing Su, sitting in the main seat, cleared her throat. Following Belfast's instructions, she first looked around at all the ship girls. This was to give them a warning and increase her authority, so that the other ship girls wouldn't joke around during the meeting and not take it seriously.

Jing Su thought it made a lot of sense, so he did as he was told. It did have an effect, but it didn't seem to be what he had expected.

Everywhere he looked, the ship girls either gazed at him tenderly or blew him kisses.

It seems that not watching makes me more serious...

"In short, each faction should send a representative to report on yesterday's results." Seeing that Belfast's method was ineffective, Jing Su decisively stopped and moved on to the next step. He felt that if he didn't let the process continue, a few ship girls might just charge at him.

For example, Akagi, this girl is now holding her cheeks and looking at him with dreamy eyes. If Ama hadn't been right next to her and pressed Akagi down, Jing Su really didn't know what would have happened.

"Commander, the White Eagles' achievements are that they have pushed the front line forward by thirty nautical miles and consolidated their position within twenty nautical miles." Lexington was the first to speak. She stood up, turned on the holographic projection, and unfolded a map, on which the defensive lines of each faction were drawn in different colors.

Lexington took out a telescopic rod, stretched it out, and explained it to Jing Su. As Lexington explained, the 3D projection showed corresponding changes.

The lighter colors mark yesterday's defenses, while the darker colors mark today's defenses.

It is visibly advanced by a large margin.

Thirty nautical miles may not sound like much, but you have to understand that the port area's frontline defense line looks like a circle, with each camp responsible for a section of the arc. The "advancing forward by thirty nautical miles" here means expanding the radius outward by thirty nautical miles, which is quite a large area.

Moreover, the concept of how much territory to conquer is completely different from how much territory to consolidate. You have to know that the Sirens are constantly increasing their forces. Every time the ship girls advance one nautical mile, they need to wipe out countless Sirens, let alone consolidate their territory.

To solidify the defenses, fortifications had to be built, which meant that all the Sirens had been cleared out of the conquered territory.

Therefore, even Jing Su, a war novice who was presiding over the meeting for the first time, was still taken aback; the results were truly remarkable.

"The Royal Navy's camp is fifteen nautical miles away, and if it's to be consolidated, it's about ten nautical miles away." Belfast wasn't there, and Jarvis took her place. Jarvis was also a very reliable member of the Royal Navy's maid corps. Her personality was rather cold and sharp-tongued, similar to Perseus, only not as extreme.

The Royal faction is inherently more support-oriented, so they've already done a great job of consolidating such a large area.

So when Jing Su heard Jarvis's explanation, she smiled with relief, which made Jarvis blush. He turned his head away and muttered, "Commander, what a big idiot. He's made so many wounds on himself and keeps doing strange things."

Because Jarvis was quite far away and spoke very softly, Jing Su couldn't hear what she was saying, so she let the next person report.

"Donghuang, expand outward by twenty nautical miles, and consolidate within twenty nautical miles." Next up was Donghuang, and the speaker was Binjiang, all smiles.

Binjiang didn't say many words, but the information he conveyed made everyone present gasp in shock.

Although the Eastern Empire and the White Eagle camp have consolidated the same area, the Eastern Empire has consolidated the entire area. What does this mean?

This means that the Eastern Empire not only destroyed the Siren warships, but also crushed the entire supporting fleet, something that even the White Eagle Empire, fighting on its home turf, could not achieve.

'Donghuang, Yixian, so mysterious, quietly amassing wealth—did he unexpectedly become this powerful?'

This was the common sentiment of the other factions present. Among the port areas, Donghuang and Beilian were the most mysterious. Although the different factions did not interfere with each other, they could more or less guess what the other was doing. After all, territory was easy to find and things were easy to guess.
