Shipgirls and Salted Fish Commander, Port Survival Guide

"Ah." Seeing the Prince of Wales appear in front of her at some point, Jing Su seemed to wake up from a dream. "It's beautiful, very beautiful. I'm not very good at judging music, but the only thing I can say is that the melody is very soothing to my ears. It's as if someone has their arms around my shoulders and is gently singing in my ear. It's truly a performance that cleanses the soul."

"Hehe, the Commander said he didn't know how to appreciate things, isn't that a good point?" Hearing his lover's praise, the Prince of Wales couldn't help but smile and said softly, "If the Commander has time, we can learn together. I would be happy to teach the Commander."

"Haha, really? I'm really looking forward to it." Jing Su laughed it off.

"Naturally, I don't have any sorties scheduled for the next few days. Commander, please let me know when you'd like to come. I'll prepare some delicious snacks and look forward to your arrival."

A straight ball, an invincible straight ball!

The Prince of Wales' words left the three destroyers stunned, especially Javelin, who was considered the little darling of the Royal Navy and got along well with all the ship girls. At this moment, she was the most shocked.

'Is this still my princess sister, who always has a sullen face and seems uninterested in everything?'

The Prince of Wales, as Javelin knows, is often described as having a poker face or being naturally clueless.

However, a blank expression doesn't mean a lack of emotion. In fact, when someone like the Prince of Wales truly falls in love, their emotions are far more intense than those of a normal person. Perhaps they aren't very good at sweet talk, but their expectations and sincerity in love are intense within the entire group.

Others might be timid and hesitant when faced with emotions for various reasons, often missing opportunities due to shyness. But this is not the case for the Prince of Wales.

He likes what he likes and dislikes what he dislikes. Perhaps the Prince of Wales is not good at expressing his feelings, but precisely because of this, he has fewer concerns when facing people he truly likes.

"Is that so?" The Prince of Wales's direct attack left Jing Su a little stunned. Was it really that straightforward?

"Yes, I once had a dream, a dream that still makes me feel desperate and helpless. I was terrified, but every time I opened my eyes and saw your picture, Commander, my heart would calm down."

A relationship that requires calculation is too humble and the most boring. Commander, I think it's better to be direct when it comes to feelings. I will show you my truest self and am willing to accept the real you. Of course, no matter what the real you is like, I will accept you. Even if you make mistakes or do wrong things, I will accept it.

Because, you see, I like, no, Commander, I love you~ I love you~

A last-minute winner! The Prince of Wales has sealed the victory!

The three little ones were completely stunned.

Jing Su felt a surge of excitement welling up from the deepest part of her heart, sweeping through her entire body in a very short time.

My face must be really red right now! What should I say? I've never seen anything like this before!

Even though she has already done intimate things with three ship girls, Jing Su says she still feels shy inside. After all, strictly speaking, Jing Su has never experienced a normal romantic relationship.

Binjiang was a bit more unrestrained, but after expressing his feelings, the daily routine was basically that Binjiang would find a way to get him drunk, and if he got drunk, he would be dragged into the room. If he didn't get drunk, he would be dragged into the room even if he finished drinking all the alcohol. The difference was that he would be a little more conscious.

Glorious and Warspite, one drugged him, and the other drugged himself, but to be honest, none of them had actually known each other for very long.

Jing Su did indeed like Glorious and Warspite. After accepting his identity as a commander, he had become quite open-minded about this matter. But in the end, it was just physical pleasure. Emotionally, this was indeed the first time for the Prince of Wales.

"The day after tomorrow, I guess. I might have to deal with some official business these two days, but I should be free by then. Is that alright?" Although she didn't know what to say, Jing Su knew that making a girl wait was very impolite, especially when it came to matters of the heart.

"Then I'll stay in my room and look forward to the Commander's arrival~" The Prince of Wales smiled slightly, returned to the chair he had been sitting in, picked up his instrument, and began to play again.

This time, even though Jing Su had no knowledge of music appreciation, she could hear the joy and anticipation in the Prince of Wales's instrumental performance.

Because the chair the Prince of Wales was sitting on was transparent and luminous, Jing Su was surprised to discover that beneath the Prince of Wales seemed to be a soul-stirring abyss!

In truth, Jing Su didn't directly reveal her feelings to the Prince of Wales, but so what? The fact that he came to her room was already an acceptance.

Now, in front of everyone, this step he took was actually very risky, somewhat like being forced into a corner. The Prince of Wales knew that he had broken a precedent and set a bad precedent. If Jing Su agreed directly, it wouldn't be a good thing for the port area in the future.

Just like King George V and Howe, who directly drugged others, that was going too far. Afterwards, both of them were severely punished by Queen Elizabeth. What if others follow suit in the future?

So, it's a good thing they didn't agree immediately. As for how things develop afterward, that depends on their own fate.

Chapter 101 Feeding

A brief silence fell over the room after the Prince of Wales left.

The three children remained silent because the Prince of Wales's words and actions today were quite different from her usual persona, while Jing Su was simply stunned.

'I... I got confessed to!'

Jing Su thought to herself blankly.

When he came to his senses and looked towards where the Prince of Wales was, the beautiful woman who had been playing the instrument had disappeared without a trace.

For the Prince of Wales, she had already gotten everything she wanted tonight, and there was no point in staying any longer. It would be better to retire gracefully and be content with what she had.

After all, she had seized the opportunity when there weren't many people in the venue. Judging from Jing Su's reaction, the Prince of Wales knew that he had won Jing Su's first time, which was already a huge advantage. If he were to be greedy, it would cause dissatisfaction among his partners.

As for dancing, although I am indeed looking forward to it, dancing in front of everyone is not as enjoyable as dancing with the Commander in my own room to the accompaniment of melodious music.

The Prince of Wales himself doesn't particularly like large gatherings. In the past, when attending banquets, he would rather play on stage as part of a band than chat with the guests as a member of the band.

In fact, since Jing Su left, the Royal Army, or rather the entire port area, has rarely held large gatherings such as banquets. Even if there are any, they are only held in small castles when some partners are gathered during meetings.

This is the first time that almost the entire royal family has been present at a banquet like today.

Even a seasoned homebody like Bu Rao was dragged out to participate in the banquet.

However, the Prince of Wales wondered if, if he didn't forgive that guy's temper, wouldn't he find a corner to sleep in?

"Oh, isn't this Miss Princess of Wales? Where are you going in such a hurry?"

As he was thinking, the Prince of Wales was suddenly called to a stop. He looked up and saw a gray-haired girl standing in front of him.

"A hundred-eyed giant? Good day, Her Majesty the Queen has released you?" The Prince of Wales spoke rather coldly to anyone other than Jing Su, even his comrades.

"Hmm~" The hundred-eyed giant, who was choked by the Prince of Wales's words, looked embarrassed. How was she supposed to respond to that?

As a direct participant in causing Queen Elizabeth to lose Jing Su's first time in the royal family, the Argus, while not the main culprit, did objectively clear obstacles for Glorious. Without her taking Jing Su away, it's questionable whether Glorious could have caught up.

As a result, Queen Elizabeth II took her anger out on the Hundred-Eyed Giant and punished him.

Of course, the so-called punishments between the Hong Kong factions are really nothing special; they won't be severe, at most they'll just make you feel a little uncomfortable.

For example, when Little Swan was punished by Queen Elizabeth, she was told to finish all her homework within a day and hand it in. The purpose was just to scare her. Little Swan didn't finish it, and Queen Elizabeth didn't say anything.

Queen Elizabeth assigned her to be in charge of receiving Yatsen, citing the reason that the original hosts, Vanguard and Glorious, had urgent business to attend to and had to leave. In reality, this was just a way to get rid of the Hundred-Eyed Giant and make her miss tonight's banquet.

“Miss Yixian said she had some things to take care of and went back to the Donghuang office in Haibin City for the time being. I didn’t have anything to do there, so I came back,” the Hundred-Eyed Giant replied somewhat awkwardly.

"I see~" The Prince of Wales nodded. She wasn't really sure why the Hundred-Eyed Giant had been sent away. Everyone had their own things to do, and unless they had a very good relationship, they generally wouldn't publicize missions to others. The Prince of Wales herself was rather aloof and preferred to be alone.

"Um, the commander..." After hesitating for a moment, the Hundred-Eyed Giant finally asked. Although there was nothing for him to do with Yi Xian, he had rushed over from the reception desk in a hurry, and time was still a bit tight.

"They're already inside, but there aren't many people. The commander is chatting with a few destroyers, including Javelin. If you go get dressed now, you should still have time." Seeing what the Argus was worried about, the Prince of Wales remained expressionless but still told the truth.

"Really? Thank you so much! I'll go get ready now, see you later." Upon hearing this news, the Hundred-Eyed Giant was overjoyed and hurriedly left, running towards the dressing room.

"Too hasty~" The Prince of Wales shook her head. She knew the Argus's personality well. She was a small ship girl who was easily shy, and her figure was not bad (compared to herself). There was no need to worry so much. With her looks and figure, she could catch people's attention with a little dressing up.

But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. If I hadn't had the advantage, I might have been just as hesitant and insecure with my other partners.

Shaking her head again, the Prince of Wales left the castle; there was no need for her to stay any longer at the dinner tonight.

"The day after tomorrow? No specific time was given, so let's assume midnight. It seems like the timeframe is quite tight."

Let me think... We need to set up the venue and purchase supplies. The commander doesn't seem to be very good at appreciating music, so let's keep the music simple and find some melodious pieces that will be more pleasant to listen to.

As for the dance, well, let's design a few moves first, and try to close the distance as much as possible.

Haha, I was just talking about the Hundred-Eyed Giant, but when it comes to the crucial moment, I get a little nervous too!

I confessed my feelings! Hehe, looking back now, it was quite a bold move, but thankfully, it turned out well.

Commander, you're surprisingly naive~

. . . . . .

"Commander, try this, it's delicious!"

"Okay, okay, I'll eat it, I'll eat it~"

"Commander, this strawberry cake is also delicious, but I prefer the blueberry flavor."

"Forehead.."

"Commander, would you like a drink? We have pumpkin juice, freshly squeezed, it's still a little hot~"

"I can't eat anymore, I really can't eat anymore!" Jing Su looked troubled. After the Prince of Wales left, it took a while for the little ones to realize what was happening. However, they didn't say anything else, but quickly moved to the table full of food and started feeding Jing Su.

Jing Su said that feeding little girls is the happiest thing in the world, especially seeing the girls' expressions of enjoyment, which is irresistible.

Not long after, Javelin noticed that Jing Su was only feeding them while not eating herself, so she asked Jing Su if she didn't like the food there. Jing Su replied that she did like it, but she was just enjoying watching the girls eat.

Unexpectedly, this sparked the girls' interest. Javelin said she wanted to try feeding them too, and Little Swan chimed in. Although Jarvis didn't say anything, Jing Su could see the longing in her enthusiastic eyes.

What should Jing Su do? Of course, she should agree to her request!

Soon, a mountain of things was piled up in front of Jing Su.

Chapter 102 The Banquet Begins

Thanks to the efforts of the three little ones, Jing Su's belly visibly swelled up.

"No more food, no more food, I really can't eat anymore!" Jing Su hurriedly waved her hand as she watched the destroyers stuffing food into her bowl with all their might, indicating that she had reached her limit.

Actually, Jing Su had wanted to say this several times before, but each time she was shut down by the little guy with the question, "Commander, don't you like the food I prepared for you?"

Faced with the little ones' expectant yet anxious eyes, Jing Su simply couldn't bring herself to refuse.

This time, Jing Su seized the opportunity and quickly said those words while the others were shifting gears.

"Oh~"

Seeing the mountain of pastries in front of Jing Su, Javelin, Little Swan, and the others reluctantly put down their food and quickly walked back.

"Come on, everyone, let's eat together~ There's so much food, bring it over, I can't finish it all by myself, let's all eat together, no waste allowed!" As soon as the little girls sat down, Jing Su began to distribute the mountain of food. Of course, Jing Su was still sensible, and she didn't take out the food that had already been put into her own bowl.

"Hey, Commander, but I don't want to eat these!" Seeing this, Javelin's eyes lit up, and she voiced her opinion.

"So what do you want to eat?" Jing Su took over the conversation. He didn't think Javelin had any ulterior motives. After all, people have different tastes, and he really didn't ask Javelin what she liked to eat. He just divided the food casually.

Anyway, there was a pile of food in front of him, basically covering all the food available in the venue. Whatever Javelin liked to eat, it was all here.

"Hehe, I want to eat this!" With lightning speed, Javelin snatched Jing Su's bowl and started eating without saying a word.

"Uh, I've already used that bowl," Jing Su said, somewhat embarrassed.

"It's okay, it's okay, I don't mind, it's not that dirty anyway~ hehe." Javelin ate happily, secretly thinking, 'Does this count as an indirect kiss? So happy!'

"Javelin, too cunning." The others had seen Javelin's actions, and Jarvis muttered this to himself. However, the opportunity had already been missed, and there was no point in dwelling on it. So Jarvis set his sights on the cup that Jing Su had drunk from, preparing to find an opportunity to do the same thing.

"Commander, I think..."

Unfortunately, Jarvis had barely opened his mouth and hadn't even had a chance to act when Jing Su's cup was taken away by a slender, delicate hand.

"Phew, I'm saved! I rushed here and finally arrived on time. I was so thirsty! Oh, Commander, I accidentally took the cup you drank from. You're not angry, are you?"

A playful voice came from behind him, and Jarvis clenched his fist.

Anger burst out!

After raising his head and recognizing the person, Jarvis silently lowered his fist. "Sorry to bother you, goodbye," he said, waving goodbye.

"It's alright, it's alright, as long as you don't mind." After seeing who it was, Jing Su's eyes widened as she stared at the playful and mature woman in front of her.

"Haha, why would I care? I'm too happy to care. Commander, how do I look in this outfit?"

“Very, very good~” Jing Su turned her head away, unsure of how to respond.

"Eh, that tone is so perfunctory~ What, Commander, do you prefer something more revealing? You didn't have this expression when Prince of Wales was here, or perhaps..." The newcomer's eyes darted around, "Commander, you like fancy moves?"

Hehe, I can do that too.

"Ahem, Master, would you like my service? Your lovely little maid, Qianwei, is at your service!"

All four people present stared wide-eyed at Qianwei's expression.

"Ouch, oh my god, it's still so embarrassing!" Before Jing Su could say anything, Qianwei broke down first, her pretty face turning bright red in an instant. She pulled out a dagger from under her skirt, twirled it a couple of times, and said shyly, "Commander, if you dare to tell anyone what happened just now, I, I'll gouge your eyes out!!"

Jing Su: "???"

Then Qianwei let out a "whoosh" and ran away, covering his face, leaving Jing Su standing there dumbfounded.

"A javelin." After a long while, Jing Su came to her senses and said blankly, "Is your avant-garde sister always like this?"

"I, I don't know~" Javelin said, indicating that it was the first time she had seen such an avant-garde older sister, and looked to Jarvis for help.

Jarvis's expression was even more exaggerated than hers; Javelin had seen that kind of expression before—it was something like disillusionment.

Why?! That cool and avant-garde older sister, is she really like this?!

Compared to Jarvis and Javelin's bewilderment, Little Swan seemed much more adorable. She didn't seem to care about the avant-garde outfit, but felt that the avant-garde's performance just now didn't quite match her usual persona.

Vanguard is a legendary knight of the Royal Navy. She is a rainbow-colored ship girl, and her heroic and resolute character is synonymous with Royal Knights. She is a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield and a solemn and dignified figure behind enemy lines. This is the impression that all the little guys have of her.
