Shipgirls and Salted Fish Commander, Port Survival Guide

It seems like this guy started acting strangely after he gave me that ball of light.

Um! ?

That orb of light had ridiculously high access levels; touching it even allowed access to the entire arsenal's surveillance system. It just couldn't find the weapon system, otherwise...

"No way, this guy's got some nerve? Giving up his manhood?"

Jing Su's gaze towards Towa suddenly changed.

"What kind of look is that? Since you're going to experience it, then hurry up and do it!"

'It's over, it's over, that bastard found out, he definitely found out, ha, I never thought my illustrious reputation would be ruined here, how ironic, hehehe~'

Jing Su's gaze was too obvious. Towa himself was not stupid or unintelligent, nor would he have been able to destroy so many worlds so easily and then play the debriefing game.

Although the computing power is not enough when the data is projected onto the armory, so it appears a bit dull and sluggish, this does not mean that Tova has become stupid.

"Well then, let's go~" As the saying goes, the opposite of what was expected. Towa's behavior actually confirmed Jing Su's guess. However, Jing Su did not expose him. From his perspective, he really couldn't imagine that a big boss would entrust his life to the enemy. Who knows what kind of tricks he had up his sleeve and was now tempting him to make a mistake.

Therefore, for Jing Su at this moment, pretending not to know anything is the best choice. In any case, the other party will not make a move against him for the time being. Whether it is to take the opportunity to gather information or to gain some advantage, it is a good choice.

'This girl's hands feel amazing! So soft and smooth, absolutely gorgeous!'

Jing Su took Tova's hand again, and this time Tova did not resist. Instead, she let Jing Su lead her forward. However, as they walked, Tova's eyes were unfocused, and she kept her head down, not daring to look up at the road, for fear that Jing Su would notice something.

Both of them knew what was going on, but neither of them spoke, their understanding remaining unspoken.

'That bastard, how dare he bully me like this! When I get out of here, I'll definitely...'

But why?!

Why do I feel a strange sense of security when this guy is holding my hand?

I, the Siren Host, actually have a concept of security?

Shame!

But it feels so good, so itchy and tingly, my emotional system is about to overload.

"Alright, we're here~" After walking for an unknown amount of time, just as Towa was beginning to lose his composure, Jing Su suddenly stopped and called out.

Towa, who was almost caught off guard, nearly bumped into Jing Su, but luckily he froze at the last moment.

But soon, Tova said that it would have been better to just crash into it directly.

It turned out that after Jing Su finished speaking, she turned around on the spot. As mentioned earlier, Tova had been being led by Jing Su, and the two of them were already very close. This sudden stop brought them even closer.

So, Jing Su turned her head and saw Tuowa's rosy face and dreamy eyes.

A blush rose to her cheeks, and her eyes glistened!

Tova finally lost his temper. He struggled free and instinctively wanted to slap her, but couldn't bring himself to do it. He could only back away, angrily saying, "What are you doing? Why did you stop all of a sudden? Were you trying to humiliate me?"

"What are you saying?" Jing Su rolled her eyes and pointed behind her. "I kindly treated you to milk tea, and this is how you treat me?"

"Milk tea? What's that?" Towa was taken aback and looked in the direction Jing Su was pointing. It turned out that they had somehow ended up in front of a shop with a rather cute and refreshing decor. The sign showed a cup with a straw in it.

“Milk tea is a beverage in the human world. You’ve destroyed so many worlds, how could you not know that?” Jing Su raised an eyebrow, quite surprised. In his opinion, this Towa was extremely different inside and out, and might be like Hu Teng, a cold exterior but a warm interior.

You should know that Hu Teng is very familiar with all kinds of internet buzzwords in Hong Kong. Although you might think that Hu Teng is cold and difficult to get along with just by looking at her, after spending some time with her, you will find that Hu Teng is actually very good at chatting. It is true that she is a bit cold, but it is also true that she can keep up with all kinds of topics.

Jing Su originally thought that Tova was the same type of person as Hu Teng, but now it seems that this guy is really just a simpleton.

"What right do I have to understand the things I've destroyed?" Upon hearing about destroying the world, Tova felt his confidence return. He crossed his arms, his expression arrogant, and said menacingly.

"Huh? Don't tell me that besides destroying the world, you have no other pastimes in your daily life." A malicious guess suddenly came to Jing Su's mind.

"Ha, what else? The joy of destroying the world and witnessing the despair on the faces of others—how could you, a human, possibly understand that kind of joy? It transcends the soul and is more exciting than anything else!" Towa became more and more agitated as he spoke, his expression growing increasingly frenzied, until he even started gesturing wildly.

The Tova who is now is somewhat similar to the Tova that Jing Su remembers. He is much more imposing than when they first met. Compared to the Tova who was being led by the hand earlier, he is like a completely different person.

"Then your life must be quite pathetic~" Jing Su chuckled. He suddenly felt a little sorry for the guy in front of him. As someone who was created with the mission of destroying the world, destruction was not only the meaning of her existence, but also her greatest pleasure.

That's why she's so pitiful, because until now, Tova hasn't had a single moment of her own. All her actions are carried out according to her internal program. She's like a cold machine, and she has indeed always considered herself a ruthless weapon, steadfastly carrying out her predetermined plan.

In a daze, Jing Su was unsure whether she was communicating with an awakened intelligent life form or interacting with a program.

Of course, despite her confusion, no matter what the situation, at least Tova is showing signs of awakening self-awareness. Even if it's just to put a nail in the Sirens' camp, Jing Su has to find a way to change her mind.

At the very least, we must prevent her from becoming as obsessed with destroying the world as she is now.

Jing Su had no good solutions for the world she had destroyed before. He couldn't reverse time, and the characteristics of the Sirens made them extremely difficult to destroy. Since he couldn't destroy them, he could only try to minimize the potential losses.

Preventing Towa from destroying other worlds, even if it's just reducing the frequency, would be a great act of kindness.

"What did you say!" Tova was annoyed again. She had already said that the joy of destroying the world was something an ordinary human like her could never understand. However, she didn't want to continue the conversation. Judging from Jing Su's reaction, he was clearly not interested in destroying the world. And since the orb of light was in his hands, she shouldn't easily anger him. So Tova changed the subject, "So, what exactly do you want to do by bringing me here?"

"How about I buy you a milk tea? What else can I do?" Jing Su said matter-of-factly.

"Huh?" Tova was stunned, a little confused about what Jing Su was talking about.

"To put it in more formal terms, what we're doing right now is shopping, dating, and so on. Since it's a date, having a cup of milk tea together is practically a must. I just didn't expect that you don't even know what milk tea is, which is why I said you're pathetic," Jing Su explained while greeting customers in the store.

It has to be said that the light orb is indeed powerful. The world that Jing Su created is the world in her memory. She was originally thinking about whether she should create some little yellow chicks to help out, but the light orb actually has an automatic function that allows the shop to automatically allow the functions as originally intended.

For example, in the milk tea shop where Jing Su and Towa are now, when Jing Su places an order, the shop automatically starts to stop, as if someone is operating it, and various ingredients work out of thin air and make it on their own.

In no time, Jing Su's order was completed.

"Mmm, it tastes just like I remember." Jing Su took the milk tea, inserted the straw, took a small sip, and nodded in approval.

Since it was her first time using it, Jing Su wasn't sure if the so-called automatic function of the light sphere was as she imagined, so she only placed one order and didn't place an order for Towa. After all, according to Towa, she had no idea what milk tea was. What if the milk tea that the light sphere made was just a simple imitation with no taste or tasted as bland as water? Then today's operation would have collapsed halfway through the business.

"Is this stuff really drinkable?" Towa stared at the white liquid that Jing Su had placed on the table, which even contained some small, round, black spheres. His expression was serious as he looked at Jing Su warily.

'That bastard, is he trying to poison me?'

"Whether you can drink it or not, you'll know once you try it yourself." Seeing Tova's nervousness, Jing Su's lips curled up. This girl really is inexplicably wary in strange places.

"Well, okay~ Since you've already drunk it, I'll try it!" Jing Su's sunny smile made Towa subconsciously lower her guard. She didn't know why, even though she kept telling herself to be careful, she still subconsciously did as she was told after seeing Jing Su's gentle smile.

"Give it a try!" Jing Su was quite pleased to see Tova willing to try, but when Tova actually started, Jing Su's eyes widened, and she quickly called out, "Wait..."

Unfortunately, he was still a step too late. Tova picked up the cup of milk tea on the table, took a sip through the straw, his expression hardened, and as if he were going all out, he gulped down more than half of it in one go.

"Hmm!? What's this?" Tova's eyes lit up. "What does this taste like? Is it...sweet? It's definitely sweet, so sweet, so delicious! What's that round thing? It's slippery, and although it doesn't have much flavor, it tastes surprisingly good!"

"Um, before that, do you want to see what you've done?"

"?"

Chapter 331 I Don't Know How to Wear These Clothes

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

Tova blinked his large, bright blue eyes, looking confused.

"The drink you had was the one I drank from. How should I put it? In public, what you did would be called indirect kissing. You know what kissing is, right?" Jing Su organized her thoughts and explained simply.

'Clang~'

Tova was struck dumb, and stood there stunned!

The milk tea in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.

"Hey, no, even if you don't want to drink it, don't waste it~" Jing Su looked at the milk tea on the ground, a little helpless.

"What are you saying?!" Jing Su's words brought Tova to his senses. His blue and white face quickly turned red, and steam visibly rose from his head.

With her hands on the hem of her skirt, Towa roared at Jing Su, and then slowly floated up from the ground.

'Holy crap, Steam Girl?'

"What did I do? Didn't you steal my milk tea? I haven't even said anything yet!" Surprised as she was, Jing Su didn't tolerate Towa trying to shift the blame onto her and retorted directly.

"You..." Tova was furious, his eyes reddening. He wanted to run, but didn't know where to go, so he squatted down on the ground, breaking down and choking out, "Bastard, bad guy, despicable fellow, all you do is bully me!"

"..." Jing Su was completely dumbfounded by this scene.

"No, sister, isn't this contrast a bit too much?"

The mighty Arbitrator, Tova XVI, a key member of the Sirens, is now crying in front of me...

Am I dreaming, or is the dream being me?

But no matter what, if a delicate girl cries in front of you, you should still comfort her.

"Okay, okay, stop crying. It'll look bad if others see you crying," Jing Su tried to comfort her.

"Woo~"

Tova cried even louder.

"..."

Jing Su felt a chill run down his spine. To some extent, he really didn't know how to comfort girls. In his previous life, he had hardly ever held a girl's hand. Now that he was in this world, the girls in the port area basically didn't need him to worry about them.

This was the first time Towa had ever seriously interacted with a girl.

'Are girls really this difficult to get along with?'

Jing Su was surprised, but quickly came to her senses.

"So it turns out, it's not that getting along with girls is easy, it's that they love me too much. Those who are favored take it all for granted..."

Yes, girls need emotional support.

Did I do that when I was with them?

As Jing Su felt a chill run down her spine, she also reflected that she seemed to have always been passively accepting the affection of the ship girls, rarely taking the initiative to show them anything.

'Thinking about it carefully, I really have let the ship girls down. I'm such a jerk...'

'Hmm? Wait, providing emotional value? That seems like an idea. Miss Tova, I'm sorry to use you as an experiment.'

"Stop crying, you dignified Siren host! What kind of behavior is this, you little glutton? You don't look good like this~"

Jing Su squatted down next to Tova, her fingers resting on Tova's chin, recalling the tone of her voice that had made Tova lose control just now, and said coldly.

"Eh..." Towa suddenly looked up, staring at Jing Su in disbelief, trembling all over, his face flushed, and his eyes glazed over.

'No, sis~ you're serious...'

Jing Su, noticing Towa's change, inwardly complained, "Not only is there a huge contrast between your past and present, but you also have a mysterious aura."

"Stop crying, or I'll bully you~" Although she was internally complaining, Jing Su kept her expression and tone unchanged, and used her fingertips to lift Towa's head.

"I...I won't cry anymore, please, don't bully me..."

"That depends on your performance~" Jing Su had an idea and pointed to the milk tea remnants on the ground, saying, "Go, finish the milk tea on the ground. Wasting it isn't good for a child~"

“Yes…” Towa followed Jing Su’s hand and looked at the spilled milk tea and cup on the ground. Her pretty face turned pale. She wanted to refuse, but her body moved on its own.

"Waaah, my body won't obey me! I can't, I can't drink! He's definitely the biggest devil in the world, how could he bully me like this!"

But his voice is so beautiful, I really want to hear it again.

No, it's just drinking milk tea from the ground, isn't it?

I'll drink it!

Seeing Towa's unpredictable expression, Jing Su was quite surprised. "Why are you so conflicted about drinking some milk tea? You were just enjoying it, weren't you? Why don't you want to drink it anymore after it fell on the ground? The straw is gone, just drink it straight from the bottle, it's not dirty."

Soon, Jing Su understood why Towa was so conflicted.

"Hey, wait a minute! I told you to drink the milk tea in your cup, not to lick the spilled tea off the floor!"

Seeing Tova lying on the ground, his face flushed, his eyes glistening, he hesitated for a long time before sticking out his tongue, bending down, and trembling as he reached for the spilled milk tea on the ground.

...

"So, are you serious or doing this on purpose?" Walking down the street, Jing Su hesitated for a long time, but finally couldn't help turning to Tova to ask.

"Mind your own business!" Tova shuddered, a blush quickly rising to his cheeks. He turned his head away, not wanting to speak.

"But what you just did..."

"Ahhh, stop talking, stop talking!" Towa exclaimed, shoving the half-finished cup of milk tea in his hand directly into Jing Su's mouth and squeezing it hard.

"Cough cough cough~ What are you doing!" The milk tea that suddenly gushed out choked Jing Su quite a bit, and the spilled part soaked his clothes. After coughing wildly, Jing Su glared angrily and shouted.

"Serves you right for bullying me like that!" Tova retorted without holding back, finally getting his revenge. Ever since meeting Jing Su, Tova had noticed that she hadn't had any good luck and hadn't followed his plans from the start. She had just suffered a huge embarrassment.

"Cough cough, so you just shoved the milk tea you drank into my mouth? I told you what this kind of behavior means~" She patted her clothes and found that they were so dirty that they were unrecognizable. She didn't have any tissues or anything, so she could only watch helplessly as the stains remained on her clothes.

"Hmph, let me show you what indirect kissing feels like!" Tova snorted and turned her head away. At this moment, she realized what she had just done.
