Shipgirls and Salted Fish Commander, Port Survival Guide

"Hmph, servant, you're too slow. How much longer do you want me to wait?" Just as Jing Su was at a loss, Queen Elizabeth's powerful voice rang out.

Turning her head, she saw Queen Elizabeth with her arms crossed, head held high, eyes slightly narrowed, looking proudly at Jing Su.

Queen Elizabeth's words revealed an undisguised excitement and joy.

'Finally, this day has come!'

"Ah, I apologize, Your Majesty. I was looking for you. Please forgive my rudeness. As this is my first time attending a banquet, I still have much to learn and practice." Jing Su saw Queen Elizabeth's appearance and recalled their conversation earlier. She spoke softly, following Queen Elizabeth's train of thought.

Jing Su placed his right palm on his heart, his left hand behind his lower back, closed his eyes and bowed slightly, his voice calm and composed, displaying an air of aristocratic demeanor. This gesture was taught to him by Warspite on the way back.

In preparation for tonight's banquet, Jing Su had intensively studied some basic matters.

The etiquette rules for nobles are numerous and complex, and it's unrealistic to expect to learn them quickly. Yan Zhan could only try to explain the basics he could think of to Jing Su.

Shortly after they finished their intimate act, Queen Elizabeth sent a message to Warspite, but received no reply after several messages. In disbelief, Queen Elizabeth then sent a message to Jing Su, but it also went unanswered.

Queen Elizabeth, being a wise woman, quickly guessed what had happened. She was struck dumb, but there was nothing she could do. What could she say now that it had already happened?

Of course, I'd just dump Warspite at the reception desk and have her deal with my mountain of problems!

You are hereby forbidden from seeing any servants for three days!

Woohoo~

When Warspite woke up, she saw 99 unread messages on her communicator and could already foresee that the next few days would probably not be easy for her. However, Warspite was already prepared for this. In fact, once she started, she had no intention of turning back.

Queen Elizabeth's actions, seemingly a form of venting anger, were actually an indirect way of protecting war-weary individuals. Unlike Howe and King George V, who attempted to drug him but failed, Queen Elizabeth's subsequent ascension to the throne was a testament to their success, and given the lack of explicit evidence, there was little room for criticism.

Warspite has really gotten herself into a huge mess. To prevent her from being beaten up by her companions every now and then under the pretext of sword practice, Queen Elizabeth decided it would be better to leave Warspite out in the cold for a while.

Warspite, having seen through the deeper meaning behind Queen Elizabeth's handling of the situation, planned to prepare for his queen's future, but the effects of the drug were indeed too strong, and Warspite was still not recovered even after reaching the shore.

If your whole body feels weak, don't even think about teaching any dance moves.

So, just as he said, Jing Su at this moment had absolutely no idea how to dance. Not to mention the steps, she didn't even know how to hold Queen Elizabeth's waist.

"Hehe, I forgive your rudeness. Now, come on, let me see your strength. I'm looking forward to it, my servant~" Seeing that Jing Su was so cooperative, Queen Elizabeth was very happy. She turned her head and extended her right hand, indicating that Jing Su should hold it, and then they could begin the dance rehearsal.

Seeing this scene, Jing Su said she almost cried. If things went wrong, it would be incredibly embarrassing. She herself didn't care much about that, but Queen Elizabeth's thin skin might not be able to withstand it.

Seemingly noticing Jing Su's predicament, someone suddenly began to dance in front of her.

Chapter 106 Kiss

"Ouch~ Servant, watch out, you stepped on my foot again!"

Two figures, one tall and one short, embraced each other, dancing to the rhythm of the music.

However, the tall one was clearly not very good at dancing, and stepped on the shorter one's foot several times. The shorter one was in pain and gritted his teeth, but couldn't bear to let go of his embrace. It was a situation that was both painful and pleasurable!

These two people are Jing Su and Queen Elizabeth.

After a short period of practice, Jing Su was finally able to move her body to the melody, but in about ten minutes, she could only know the movements at most. How to hit the beat and what the range of motion was, Jing Su was completely clueless.

Most importantly, Queen Elizabeth was so focused on organizing the banquet that she subconsciously overlooked the height difference between the two.

Queen Elizabeth, in terms of both size and bridge scale, would be perfectly fine to be placed among destroyers, and might even be smaller than some destroyers.

In terms of height alone, Queen Elizabeth only reached above Jing Su's navel and slightly below his chest. This touching height difference left Jing Su completely at a loss as to how to hug Queen Elizabeth.

If they put their arms around each other's waists, Jing Su would have to bend over and find a comfortable position, which would be to grab Queen Elizabeth under her armpits. No matter where she was, if Jing Su exerted a little force, she could lift Queen Elizabeth up.

Having no prior knowledge of dance, coupled with the adorable height difference, Jing Su was incredibly stiff throughout the entire process.

Queen Elizabeth, on the other hand, was a master of dance. As soon as the music started, she was immersed in the melody and wanted to lead Jing Su to dance as well.

One is living in constant fear, the other is lost in their own world; it would be strange if they didn't trample on each other.

Finally, after being criticized three times in a row in one section, Queen Elizabeth could no longer bear it and opened her eyes to express her opinion.

But Jing Su was covered in sweat, his face was flushed, he was slightly bent over, and his whole body was visibly stiff. His cautious and timid state was clearly visible in his flustered eyes.

"Fool~" What could Queen Elizabeth say when she saw Jing Su's appearance? She was both angry and touched. She was angry because such a good opportunity had been presented to this fool who remained unmoved. She had already closed her eyes, yet he didn't take any initiative. She was touched because Jing Su had done his best under these circumstances, and the only thing that made her open her eyes was a few stomp kicks.

For beginners, it's normal to step on each other's steps while dancing. Since Queen Elizabeth invited Jing Su to dance, she was prepared to be stepped on. However, she didn't expect that she still couldn't hold her temper and wanted to open her eyes and scold her so that this fool would use his brain and take the initiative. It wouldn't hurt him to do something like this. Did she, a lady, have to do this?

Moreover, because I was so focused on looking forward to it, I overlooked the height difference between the two of us. I originally thought that dancing would be a bit awkward, but now I didn't expect that the only uncomfortable thing would be being stepped on.

and many more!

Height difference!?

'Ugh, you wretched servant! Are you trying so hard to mock my small size?! Don't you know that being small is the most precious treasure in the world?! You're driving me crazy!'

Queen Elizabeth, belatedly realizing what was wrong, thought that even if she knew nothing about dancing, she should at least be concerned about her image. Why did she have to be so tired just to dance?

Now Queen Elizabeth knew why Jing Su's face was so red—it was because she was exhausted.

'Fine, fine, dancing with me must have been tiring for you, right? Making way for my height must have been uncomfortable for you, right?! How awful!!!'

I'm short, I don't need you to remind me with that gesture!

How awful! How awful!

I'm furious!

I made you compromise, I made you do this~'

Queen Elizabeth's face instantly turned bright red upon realizing what was happening, her lovely cheeks puffing up visibly. Then, Queen Elizabeth kicked down.

"hiss!"

The sudden kick made Jing Su gasp in pain, tears welling up in her eyes. Looking down, she quickly noticed Queen Elizabeth's unusual behavior and thought to herself.

'So this is what it feels like to have your foot stepped on? It really hurts. And I stepped on it so many times. I deserved it!'

Even if it's for punishment, there's no need to stomp on someone with a shoe heel! My dear Queen, you have no idea how painful it is to be stepped on by a high heel!

"Servant, are you alright?" Jing Su grimaced in pain. Queen Elizabeth was startled when she saw this and regretted it. "Why was I so impulsive? I used so much force. Is there something wrong with my servant's foot? Should I take him to the medical room for a check-up right now?"

What should I do? What should I do? Why was I so impulsive?

Waaah, I'm such a hopeless idiot!

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Queen Elizabeth had been leading the conversation, but now that the rhythm had changed, Jing Su quickly noticed Queen Elizabeth's unusual behavior. Looking down, she saw two lines of tears streaming down Queen Elizabeth's red-rimmed eyes.

"I...I'm sorry, I shouldn't have stepped on you like that, I hurt you, I'm sorry, sob sob~" A soft sob came from inside.

"How could that be?" Queen Elizabeth's actions quickly brought Jing Su back to her senses, as she had been trying to dance well but had not been able to. Combining her own movements with Queen Elizabeth's sudden change, Jing Su roughly guessed what had happened and what was going on in Queen Elizabeth's mind.

“My dearest Queen, it is all my fault. I was too inexperienced and stepped on Your Majesty’s artistic little feet several times. Your Majesty’s willingness to punish me is justified, which shows that Your Majesty cares about me.”

So, I must thank Your Majesty for that kick, which brought me to my senses. It turns out I was being too sentimental, failing to see through Your Majesty's intentions. So, you deserved it, and you did a good job. I am grateful for everything Your Majesty has done for me.”

"You, really, is that what you think?" Perhaps it was Jing Su's voice that was too gentle, or perhaps it was Jing Su's whisper in her ear that made her too shy, but Queen Elizabeth's cheeks turned as red as ripe apples. Combined with her previous tears, they were crystal clear and radiant under the light.

"That's natural. Oh, I think words are too inadequate to explain, so Your Majesty, please forgive my inadequacy."

"Eaaah!!"

Elizabeth was enjoying Jing Su's soft words when she suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Before Jing Su could finish speaking, she suddenly picked up Queen Elizabeth and spun her around in the air.

The sudden takeoff startled Queen Elizabeth, who instinctively wrapped her arms around Jing Su's neck.

"You, what are you doing..." Queen Elizabeth, realizing what was happening, blushed and tried to say something in a fit of anger, but before she could finish speaking, her eyes widened in surprise.

Under the watchful eyes of all the ship girls, Jing Su bent down and kissed Queen Elizabeth.

Chapter 107 Summer Offensive

Jing Su's actions not only stunned Queen Elizabeth, but also left all the ship girls around her speechless. They never imagined that their commander would do such a thing in front of everyone.

Everyone agreed that this was truly something.

Envious!

"What are you doing?!" Queen Elizabeth herself had transformed into a steam princess, her cheeks and neck flushed and glistening, with steam actually emanating from them.

"Your Majesty, can you forgive me?" Jing Su said softly, "Since I didn't know how to express my apology, I had no choice but to do this. I hope Your Majesty can accept it."

"Uh, hmph~" Queen Elizabeth stammered, but forced herself to stay alert. She turned her head away and said arrogantly, "Fine, fine, you do have some brains. This time, I'll be merciful and forgive you. But next time, you mustn't do it again."

As my husband, how can your dancing skills be so poor? When we get back to our room, I will personally give you a proper lesson!

The music may be melodious, but it will eventually come to an end.

As Elizabeth spoke haughtily, the beautiful melody stopped, and the absent-minded crowd stopped what they were doing and turned to look at the center of the stage. Perhaps their thoughts were different, but the complexity in their eyes was the same.

"Hurry up and put me down!" The music stopped, and Queen Elizabeth, feeling everyone's gaze, could no longer contain her embarrassment and punched Jing Su with her fist.

"Oh!" Jing Su quickly put Queen Elizabeth down.

Then, Queen Elizabeth exclaimed "Eee!" and hurriedly ran out of the room.

"Curaçao, you take charge of the banquet venue for a while. I'm a little tired, I'm going to rest first." As I walked out the door, I was greeted by Curaçao, who had been directing logistics.

"Your Majesty, I..." Upon seeing Queen Elizabeth, Curaçao was overjoyed and hurried forward. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Queen Elizabeth hurriedly utter these words.

"Wait!" Curaçao hurriedly tried to call out to Queen Elizabeth, saying that he had something to report, but Queen Elizabeth, who was running at full speed, was too fast and disappeared in a flash.

'What happened?' Although his queen was very proud, easily angered, and prone to losing her temper, Curaçao had never seen her lose her composure like this before.

Because she had been directing the royal maids in the logistics department to prepare supplies, Curaçao was unaware of what was happening inside the venue. She rushed here because, as she said, she had something urgent to report. Now, before she could get the news out, the person in charge had disappeared. What should she do?

'Oh right, how could I forget about the Commander? This is something I should have asked the Commander about. It's a perfect excuse to get close to him. I'm so clever!' Curaçao slapped her forehead and remembered Jing Su.

'Oh dear, have I been too busy lately? Or is it just that the power of habit is too terrifying? Really.'

After making a few self-deprecating remarks, Curaçao pushed open the door, but before she could speak, she was shocked by the scene inside the room!

"Did I go into the wrong room? How did my carefully arranged scene turn into this?! Waaaaah~"

A mournful cry rang out from Curaçao.

It turns out that after Queen Elizabeth left, the royal family members, now free from restraint, rushed to Jing Su like wild horses, inviting her to dance. A dance would earn them a kiss. What could be more tempting than that?

As everyone pushed and shoved each other, the elegant dresses were torn to shreds, and the room was suddenly filled with a glimpse of spring, a blend of purity and allure, fragrance and rosy hues.

If it weren't for the fact that everyone was still maintaining the last vestiges of royal lady composure (there were too many people present to take action), everyone would have planned to simply drag the commander away and throw him into the room.

The final kiss from Jing Su left such a deep impression on everyone, with such a strong visual impact. In the past, when people heard that Jing Su had won over so-and-so, they would just smile and fantasize about it in private, and then it would be over.

Things are different now. Seeing the Commander's long kiss with your own eyes, who can resist? Didn't you see that even Her Majesty the Queen ran away shyly?

As we all know, Queen Elizabeth may be a 24K pure tsundere, but as the person in charge, she has a lot of patience. However, she just ran away at lightning speed. Many high-speed chasers present would have been defeated by her speed, which shows the power of this kiss.

The pent-up longing of everyone erupted at this moment, and everyone declared, "Forget about being reserved, I'm going to get close to the Commander today, right now!"

To be fair, the Royal Navy ship girls are truly ladylike. Even when they go berserk, their actions in front of everyone are simply dragging Jing Su to dance. Regardless of whether Jing Su agrees or not, as soon as the music starts, a ship girl runs to Jing Su's side, grabs her to the center of the stage without saying a word, and starts spinning her around.

When the music ends, it's time to get handsy.

There were forceful kisses, deep hugs, and even clothes being torn off. There are now many ship girls, so the music is fast-paced and doesn't play a complete song like it did at the beginning, to facilitate the rotation of the ship girls.

So, in no time, Jing Su was stripped down to her shirt. It wasn't that no one wanted to touch her pants, but just as they were about to do so, Jing Su made a strong struggle, which stopped them.

With so many ship girls and so few clothes, there weren't enough to take off. So, some clever girls took off their own clothes and accessories and let Jing Su wear them as tokens of their love. And things from the girls' bodies wouldn't be taken away, so in a short time, Jing Su was covered in rings, earrings and other accessories, especially necklaces, which were wrapped around her neck and sparkled.

Formal dresses are generally not very durable. Due to the large number of ship girls and the short time available, they couldn't play gentle and melodious music. Instead, they played fast-paced music, mostly jazz dance. With the ship girls intentionally making the scene, it's not surprising that the room was filled with glimpses of the seams while the girls were wearing formal dresses.

If you call the ship girls reckless, they arrive one after another, without fighting or grabbing, and are very polite. If you call them ladies, Jing Su feels like she's about to ascend to heaven.

When the ship girls go berserk, their destructive power is astonishing. The scene quickly becomes a mess, not quite dirty or chaotic, but during the shoving, the mountain of red wine glasses is knocked over, a classic scene from the movie, with red wine spilled all over the ground.

Curaçao screamed because the floor was too dirty; as a perfectionist maid, this was the last thing she could stand.

"Ahem, Curaçao, what's the matter?" Upon seeing Curaçao, Jing Su rushed over as if she had seen a savior.

"In fact, there is something, but Commander, what's wrong?" Curaçao looked at Jing Su's sparkling accessories and her rosy lips painted with lipstick, and fell into deep thought.

Um, don't worry about the details, tell me about your story.

"Oh, okay, it's nothing serious. The summer offensive is coming soon, and the front lines are calling for us to go and provide support."

"?"

Chapter 108 Will You Marry Me?

Curaçao's interruption captivated everyone's attention, especially upon learning that the summer offensive was imminent. Their eyes lit up, and they all said it was getting late and they needed to go back to rest.
