Shipgirls and Salted Fish Commander, Port Survival Guide

"Huh? How could that be! I genuinely agree with your thoughts. When did our relationship deteriorate to this extent?"

“Haven’t things been like this from the very beginning?” Tova said matter-of-factly. ‘So, you’re really not laughing at me?’

"Why would I laugh at you? Are you bored? If you keep doing this, I'll sue you for defamation!" Jing Su rolled her eyes, giving him a look that said, "Are you an idiot?"

"Let's go, there's a jewelry store up ahead, let's take a look." With that, Jing Su took Towa's hand and led her in a certain direction.

"You!" Tova's pupils contracted. He was about to say something when he found that his body was not under his control. By the time he realized what was happening, he was already moving forward with Jing Su.

"what happened?"

"No, it's nothing." Tova lowered his head, inwardly cursing himself for getting used to Jing Su's guidance so quickly. You spineless coward!

To avoid alerting Jing Su to his predicament, Towa changed the subject, "Going to the jewelry store? What for?"

“Going to a jewelry store is naturally to buy beautiful accessories. With such great assets, you should naturally adorn them with exquisite accessories. It’s like adding the finishing touch, don’t you understand?” Jing Su said matter-of-factly.

"Ha, I don't need that kind of thing. The beauty of this main unit doesn't need any external embellishments!"

"Oh, so who was both excited and shy when they were changing clothes just now?"

"Shut up!" Towa squeezed Jing Su hard, making her wince in pain.

"Haha, let's take a look. If you like something, try it on; if not, just browse around." Only then did Jing Su realize, oh right, she and Tova were still holding hands! Tova's grip is really strong...

"Tch, what a waste of time," Tova muttered.

"This is what shopping is all about~ People who like each other can hold hands and walk together on the street, even if they don't do anything, it feels great~" Jing Su explained with a smile.

"Who, who has feelings for you!" Tova's pupils contracted slightly, his words still sarcastic, but in his heart he was thinking: 'He said he has feelings for me! He has feelings for me!'

"We've arrived. Hey, wait, are you alright? Why are you all steamy again?"

Just as Tova's mind was about to crash again, Jing Su's voice came through.

"here it is?"

In front of Tova was a lavishly decorated shop with various transparent counters displaying all sorts of ornaments.

"I modeled it after the biggest jewelry store I remember; you should be able to find any kind of jewelry there," Jing Su explained simply.

"Then, help me choose~" Seeing the impressive shop and the sparkling jewelry, Towa quickly found a place to sit down, instructed Jing Su, and then looked into the distance. After waiting for a while and finding that Jing Su hadn't moved, he glanced over and noticed that Jing Su was in a daze. He called out again, "Hurry up, you're the one who asked me to get some nice jewelry. If it's not nice, I'll be mad at you!"

"Heh, you rascal~" Jing Su shook her head. She was just saying with a bitter expression that she didn't want any jewelry, but when they got there, her body language betrayed her~

Chapter 333 This is the last time.

"Come on, Tova, try this necklace. The color and style suit your skin tone perfectly!"

After carefully selecting, Jing Su found a ruby ​​necklace and handed it to Tova.

"Put it on for me~" Towa glanced at Jing Su, then at the necklace, and said indifferently.

“Alright~ It’s my pleasure to serve such a beautiful lady~” Jing Su bowed slightly, making a gentlemanly gesture, and then slowly reached out towards Tova.

"..."

"No, you actually did it!" Towa panicked as Jing Su got closer and closer. She had only mentioned it casually and never expected Jing Su to actually do it.

'Don't come any closer, I'm not ready yet!'

'What if he does something else to me? Should I resist? What if I hurt him?'

"Okay, all put it on!" Just as Tova was lost in thought, Jing Su's gentle voice rang in her ear.

"Eek!" Tova exclaimed, pushing forward with both hands.

"Hey, no, what are you doing!" Jing Su was startled. What was this girl up to now?

"Cough cough, I...are you alright!" Looking at Jing Su, who was still shaken, Towa blushed, but refused to admit her mistake, muttering, "Who told you to get so close?"

"..." Jing Su was speechless. No, you just asked me to help you put on the necklace, right? Why are you turning your back on me!

But seeing Towa's flushed face, Jing Su wisely stopped dwelling on the topic.

Arguing about this kind of topic with a girl is just asking for trouble!

"How are you feeling?" At this point, diverting Tova's attention is the right thing to do.

"It's...not bad. You have good taste~" Tova wanted to look in the mirror to see how the necklace looked, but his actions just now had made the whole scene a bit awkward, so it wasn't appropriate to do so for the moment. Fortunately, Jing Su offered a way out, and Tova immediately accepted it.

In the mirror, a finely crafted, exquisitely carved ruby, adorned with a platinum necklace, hung on her blue-white skin, complementing her slender neck and creating a unique and captivating effect.

“Of course, try this one too. It matches the necklace, but it seems you can’t wear it…” Jing Su reinforced the impression, but wisely withdrew the words she originally wanted to say about her ‘discerning eye honed in the port area’.

"What's this?" Taking the thing Jing Su handed him, Tova looked down and his face immediately darkened. He rolled his eyes at Jing Su. "You really know how to pick things. I really can't wear this."

"Ahem, then I'll go get another one." Jing Su scratched her head, a little embarrassed, and turned to run back to pick out more jewelry.

'That idiot!' Tova thought to himself as he watched Jing Su's departing figure. 'Knowing I'm wearing a crown, he still brought me a hat? If I hadn't missed the mockery in his eyes, I would have fought him!'

Yes, the item Jing Su prepared for Tova to match the necklace was a sun hat with feathers and carvings, which was part of the set.

Normally, there aren't many things that can be paired with a necklace. Aside from clothes, there are only hats. As for clothes, based on our conversation, Jing Su believes that Tova doesn't like to change clothes casually. Besides, we're looking for accessories now, so why would she bother changing her clothes just to look good?

So I instinctively grabbed a hat.

But after handing the hat to Tova, Jing Su suddenly remembered that Tova actually had a crown-like floating object on his head. The object was completely black, but it emitted a strange light, which was somewhat frightening at first glance, adding a lot of majesty and terror to Tova.

When Tova changed clothes earlier, the crown was put away, so Jing Su subconsciously ignored it. But when she finished changing and was walking on the way to the jewelry store, the crown reappeared.

This is a bit awkward.

After all, Tova's own crown almost outshone all the hats in the jewelry store, and even the necklace that Jing Su had carefully selected paled in comparison to this crown.

Afterwards, Jing Su brought out several necklaces, bracelets and other jewelry, which Towa accepted without hesitation. Without exception, she asked Jing Su to put them on her.

Practice makes perfect. At first, the two remained silent when they met, and occasionally when Jing Su accidentally touched Tova's skin, Tova would curse a couple of times. Later, they gradually began to discuss the effects of their interactions, and eventually, as soon as Jing Su met Tova, Tova would assume a pose and let Jing Su do as she pleased.

However, as time went on, Tova gradually realized that something was wrong.

"Seriously, is your taste really that rigid?"

Finally, when Jing Su found another exquisitely crafted emerald necklace, Tova exploded, glaring fiercely at Jing Su.

"Huh? What is it now?" Jing Su was taken aback, trying hard to recall what she had done to upset this proud little siren.

"From the very beginning until now, all the things you've chosen for me have been necklaces or watches. Aside from those two, there haven't been any other styles of jewelry. Do you really like necklaces and watches that much?"

Tova pointed to the dozens of bags already packed on the table. As she said, they contained only necklaces and watches; there were no other types of jewelry.

"Ahem, let me explain!" After glancing at the bag and then at the angry Towa, Jing Su belatedly realized that she had indeed never chosen anything else.

"Heh, I'll give you a chance to make a good excuse!" Towa rolled his eyes at Jing Su. If you were just picking out a bracelet, I wouldn't have said that. You think I'm your clothes hanger, don't you!

Chun Chun chooses things based solely on her own preferences. Has she ever considered my feelings?

"Well, the main thing is that I feel you wouldn't wear other jewelry, or to put it bluntly, you wouldn't be able to wear them."

"Huh?" Jing Su's answer stunned Tova, who looked at Jing Su with a 'Are you kidding me?' expression.

No matter how angry Towa was, she could accept any other reason Jing Su gave, even if it was just a random one, saying that she liked it this way. But now she was being told that she couldn't wear it? This jewelry store is so big, with so many different kinds of things, how could she only wear necklaces and watches?

Is this a joke?

"Listen to me first~" Seeing that Tova was about to explode, Jing Su quickly calmed him down, "First of all, you don't have pierced ears, so you can't wear earrings or similar accessories."

Then there are hats and other headwear accessories. In the entire jewelry store, what piece of jewelry can compare to the crown on your head? Isn't the person who picks it out for you just making fun of you?

On the hands, there are bracelets and watches. Aren't these essentially the same thing? Giving you a watch is more comfortable and relaxing than a bracelet. At least you won't suffer from wearing it. Of course, if you really want to talk about hands, you can also give you rings.

But I'm a man, and I'm giving you a ring. What does that mean? I don't need to repeat it, do I?

The rest are just some weird and strange things, which I doubt you'd want to throw on yourself.

"Look, if I analyze it simply, all I can give you is a necklace and a watch, right?"

Jing Su spoke like a machine gun, her speed was extremely fast. Even though Tova was a Siren with an amazing memory, she almost couldn't hear everything Jing Su said.

"..." After a moment of silence, Tova felt his brain go blank. He wanted to refute something, but he didn't know what was wrong. He could only reply helplessly, "It seems that makes sense."

“Right?” Jing Su gave a thumbs up, thinking he should quickly move on from this topic. He could tell that the Siren host in front of him was definitely infected with a virus, and the topics he was interested in were always strange.

"Wait a minute!" Just as Jing Su was about to tell Tova to leave the jewelry store, Tova suddenly shouted, "You almost got me hooked, you bastard!"

"Ok?"

"What you just said was all your own personal analysis, without ever asking for my opinion. What gives you the right to make decisions for me?" Tova said, hands on his hips, glaring angrily. "Besides, many of your reasons are untenable. What do you mean by 'no conditions'? Can't you create conditions if there aren't any?"

I think you just don't want to pick out any nice jewelry for me!

"Cough cough cough, how could that be?"

"Ha, you wear so many things yourself, but you won't pick out anything nice for me? What, is it because I'm a Siren, or are your little girlfriends preventing you from doing this?" After carefully examining Jing Su's ear, Tova suddenly felt an inexplicable rage burning in his heart.

'Damn it, I've never felt so angry before. Is the emotion module malfunctioning again?'

"These two are not the same thing..." Jing Su was stunned. Wasn't this topic a bit too far off?

"Hey, I didn't even notice just now. You actually have a ring enlargement? Let me see. Ha, I feel like my finger could go through it. Is your girlfriend that cruel to you? Doesn't she get upset?" Just as Jing Su was about to say something, she suddenly felt a gust of wind brush against her face. When she came to her senses, Tova was already in front of her, about to reach up and touch her head.

"Stop!" Jing Su was terrified and immediately stopped her. "It's not as exaggerated as you're making it out to be!"

"Oh, even at a time like this, you're still defending your girlfriend? You're really devoted, aren't you?"

An unnamed karmic fire burns fiercely in my heart.

Tova said he had never been so angry.

Looking at the somewhat flustered Jing Su in front of him, the scene he had always wanted to see, Tova felt no pleasure.

Why? It's exactly what I've always wanted to see—make this bastard scared.

But why?

He was scared. Was he really scared?

What is he afraid of? We've been together for so long, can't he see that I won't lay a hand on him?

Bastard, you despicable bastard, you bastard!

Tova grew angrier and more aggrieved the more he thought about it.

'Tick-tock~'

There was a sound of dripping liquid.

"Ok?"

At this moment, Jing Su, who had come to her senses, discovered that Towa was in tears!

Feeling wronged, angry, and unwilling to comply, Jing Su could read a lot of emotions on Towa's face in a short time.

"Are you... alright..." Jing Su asked softly.

"It's okay, of course I'm okay. What could possibly be wrong with me? I'm perfectly fine, healthy and happy. At most, I'm just thinking about how to tear you to pieces once we get out. Don't get me wrong, my emotional module isn't malfunctioning. No, it's not because of..."

"But you cried~"

"I already told you, I didn't cry. My emotional module malfunctioned. It was a malfunction that prevented me from crying. I was just... in character. Yes, I was in character. You're such a jerk."

It's all your fault. I just wanted you to show me why Zero values ​​you so much. As Zero's most capable assistant, I will naturally try my best to understand.

So I got into character!

This is called professionalism, you know? A play needs a trap; you're the planner, can't you even see that?

"You...why are you getting so caught up in the drama?" Jing Su sighed softly. So, arrogance really does ruin a life. "You say you're getting into character? Coincidentally, I think I'm getting into character too~"

Before Tova could finish speaking, Jing Su gently embraced her and whispered in her ear.

"What are you doing? Let go right now, or I'll tear you to pieces!" Towa was stunned when Jing Su suddenly hugged him. He didn't know what to do for a moment. The only thing he could think of was to say some harsh words, hoping that Jing Su would leave on his own.

But how could Jing Su do as she wished?

“If I really get torn apart by Tova that day, it will be because I did something to wrong Tova, and I deserve it,” Jing Su whispered. “So, Tova, can you forgive me? I’ve done so many things to wrong you, please don’t tear me apart, okay? I still want to spend more time with Tova.”

"Since you've already begged for mercy like this, then... naturally it's possible, but this is a one-time exception!" Tova stammered, she really wanted to break free, but for some reason, her body wouldn't obey her commands.

'Damn it, this bastard, even after all this, he still bullies me. How can he say something like that? Do you think I'm so easy to forgive and let go of someone?'

However, given how comfortable your embrace is, I'll grant you special permission to serve me well, and in return, I won't tear you apart!

It took a while.

"So, how long are you going to keep hugging me? Even begging is going too far!" After calming down, Tova recalled what she had just done and immediately transformed into a steam princess. She then quickly focused her gaze on Jing Su and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that Jing Su had her eyes closed. Then she said fiercely.
