Shipgirls and Salted Fish Commander, Port Survival Guide

It was more of a struggle than a struggle; she was actually holding onto Jing Su's hands. It wasn't that she was afraid of heights; she simply wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to Jing Su. There were too many people last night, and when Jing Su kissed her, she was so shy that she couldn't resist and ran away. After returning to her room, Queen Elizabeth regretted it for quite a while.

How could I be so hypocritical!

Jing Su treated me like that, so as punishment, isn't it only natural to make her come to my room to serve me personally?

Once Jing Su gets to my room, won't she be at my mercy?

At that time, I could do whatever I wanted, stick things on however I wanted, and no one could stop me. But in the end, I was the first to run away.

She even fell asleep afterwards. When she woke up the next day, Queen Elizabeth learned from Sirius what had happened at the banquet after she left, and she was even angrier.

Back in the office, she heard that Jing Su was leaving. The fact that she didn't immediately lose her temper shows that she had a lot of self-control.

"You bastard, you big bastard, you wretched servant, you hateful servant! If you want to leave, then leave! I never want to talk to you again! Go away, go far away, like before, disappear from my sight! I hate you, boohoo~"

Under Jing Su's relentless aerial maneuvering, Queen Elizabeth finally broke down. She didn't know why she said those things, but she just couldn't control herself, and tears streamed down her face.

"My lord, it was my fault for hurting and upsetting you before. I promise you, I will definitely come back and stay by your side. My beloved lord, don't be sad, don't be upset, I'm always by your side."

After saying this, Jing Su embraced Queen Elizabeth, kissed her forehead, gently stroked her back, felt the little one sobbing in his arms, and gave her his most sincere promise.

Chapter 111 Departure in Half a Month

With Jing Su's comforting words, Queen Elizabeth, her eyes red, nestled in Jing Su's arms and sobbed softly.

"Your Majesty~" At this moment, Warspite finally realized that he, no, not only he, but many members of the royal camp, including himself, seemed to have overlooked the feelings of their queen.

From the perspective of the royal camp, they were successful. Through their schemes, they managed to bring Jing Su over from the Donghuang camp and arranged for Yi Xian to work at the reception desk. Now, they can't even find her.

Subsequent resource negotiations left a deep impression on Jing Su, and their own camp has even won over Jing Su the most times and been the most successful so far.

However, from Queen Elizabeth's perspective, nothing has gone smoothly for her these past few days.

The negotiations regarding the misappropriation of resources were actually conducted under the auspices of Queen Elizabeth. This was a rather large and complex process, requiring communication not only with the senior officials of the Maritime Authority but also with other factions within the port area. Internal mediation within one's own port area is far more difficult than negotiating with the Maritime Authority.

After the matter was settled, Queen Elizabeth was excited and looked forward to Jing Su's arrival for a long time, and made plans for the entire day of their meeting.

From afternoon tea to evening banquets, Queen Elizabeth repeatedly overturned the original designs, studying, adjusting, and rehearsing them time and time again.

Everything was finally arranged, but Jing Su, the main character, couldn't make it to the scene in time, so the afternoon tea was ruined, and there was still the dinner to look forward to.

They originally planned to secretly bring Jing Su back, but the vanguard and Glory sent to fetch her failed to bring her back in time. By the time Jing Su arrived at the castle, no one had eaten anything.

Queen Elizabeth learned from Yixian that Jingsu had a minor stomach problem and needed to eat on time. However, by the time Jingsu arrived at the castle, it was too late to prepare dinner. At that time, the entire camp was busy setting up the scene. The royal camp was not very good at cooking, and when they urgently assigned people to cook, Queen Elizabeth heard that the little yellow chickens almost blew up the kitchen.

Later, Jing Su suggested that they have a hot pot dinner, so that everyone could eat their fill and it would also have the feel of a dinner party.

Although doing so would mean postponing the banquet that I had carefully prepared and looked forward to, this was Jing Su's first proposal since joining the royal camp, so how could I possibly refuse?

Queen Elizabeth quietly orchestrated the event from behind the scenes, summoning all the royal maids to set up a stage. She had been hoping something might happen at the banquet, but unexpectedly, due to the last-minute change of plans, her own accomplices started causing trouble.

By the time Queen Elizabeth realized what was happening, Jing Su had already fallen for it, officially ending her long-awaited dinner party.

Queen Elizabeth was unwilling to give up, so she reorganized the afternoon tea the next day. After finally getting everything arranged, she received news that Jing Su and Yan Zhan had gone to make a request. Once again, the long-awaited event was in vain.

Fortunately, the banquet did take place as scheduled, but I couldn't overcome my shyness and ran away.

Now, hearing that Jing Su is going to the front lines, there's no chance to even see her.

Under the successive blows, Queen Elizabeth really became somewhat withdrawn.

'I...I just want to spend some quality time with the Commander, have some tea together, and chat. Why is that so difficult? Why?'

Lying in Jing Su's arms, Queen Elizabeth sobbed and grieved.

"Your Majesty, why are you sad? Why are you upset?" Jing Su asked softly as she saw Queen Elizabeth's emotions gradually calm down.

"Mind your own business!" Queen Elizabeth turned her head away, not wanting to talk to Jing Su.

"I wonder if it's because of me that Your Majesty has been saddened."

"Hmph, so you do know that much!" Queen Elizabeth punched Jing Su.

"Yes, yes, I was wrong. It was my fault for not being able to perceive Your Majesty's intentions in time. As a servant, I am truly unqualified." Jing Su slowly sat down, helped Queen Elizabeth onto his lap, gently stroked her soft hair, and at the same time, groped her all over.

"No, you are not allowed to touch my belly, that is very impolite!" Queen Elizabeth suddenly shouted, as if she had been provoked.

"Really? How about this?" Seeing Queen Elizabeth's reaction, Jing Su laughed. It turned out that Her Majesty the Queen was ticklish.

"What are you doing? Haha, stop it! You can't do that! Haha, stop it! Don't touch my noble body!"

"Haha, really? You can't just touch me randomly? Well, I have a target, so I won't touch you randomly, is that okay?" Jing Su ignored Queen Elizabeth's struggles and increased the pressure.

"Hahaha, what, what, you foolish human, you bastard servant, die! Once is not enough, twice, twice! Haha, ee-ya! No, that won't do."

No, not there, no, ee-ooh~

Waaah!

As if she had touched a switch, Queen Elizabeth's face turned bright red in an instant, and her body went limp as if it were mud.

"Hehe, Your Majesty, it's so small and cute~"

"Wh-what!? I'm powerless!"

Foolish servant, don't you know that petiteness is a symbol of nobility? Ah, in our port, big-breasted sisters are everywhere, but small battleships are few and far between. Don't you people in the Eastern Empire also have the saying "rarity makes things valuable"?

"You damned lackey, you really should be blasted to smithereens by the ship's cannons!"

"Haha, yes, yes, Your Majesty is the most noble being in the world. May I have the opportunity to admire your beauty and serve you?"

"Hmph~ You do have some discernment. I'm in a good mood right now, so I'll mercifully grant you this opportunity. Serve me well; it's your honor."

Seeing Queen Elizabeth return to her former haughty self, Jing Su knew that she had adjusted her mood and emerged from her previous state of sadness.

"Your Majesty, the main reason I went to the front lines this time was to visit those girls who fought so hard. It's been so long, it's time to go and see them."

"Hmph." Queen Elizabeth turned her head away, still somewhat angry as expected.

At this moment, Queen Elizabeth also realized that it was indeed time to send Jing Su to accompany the girls at the front. Due to her status, she herself had not been to the front lines much, but after returning from her own troops, she was exhausted and had a general idea of ​​what the situation was like at the front.

The battle with the Sirens wasn't particularly dangerous, but it was exhausting. Those brainless Sirens could fight from morning till night during a large-scale invasion, with the roar of cannons making so much noise that even if the ship girls could take turns, it was impossible to fall asleep easily.

"I won't be going to the front lines anytime soon. Guanghui said we need to prepare, and we'll probably leave in about two weeks at the earliest."

Seeing that Queen Elizabeth was still somewhat sullen, Jing Su smiled and recounted the content of her discussion with Warspite.

"?"

Chapter 112 You're All Bullying Me

"What, you're not leaving for another two weeks?"

Silence, then an explosion.

Queen Elizabeth shouted loudly, startling Jing Su.

“Yes.” Jing Su nodded. “Last night, Curaçao informed us that the summer offensive was about to begin, and the front lines were calling for support, but it hasn’t started yet, has it?”

I don't care when I leave, but the ship girls at the front said they would call me over after they had set up the front lines.

Even at the earliest, it would take at least half a month.

'Half a month? Then my performance... ugh! So incredibly embarrassing!'

Queen Elizabeth performed a visible transformation of her complexion for Jing Su, from her neck to her face, little by little, at an extremely fast speed, until she turned bright red, and faintly, no, not faintly, only a continuous mist could be seen above her head.

"Your Majesty? What's wrong? You don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?" Jing Su asked with concern when she noticed Queen Elizabeth's unusual expression.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's none of your business!"

Hmph, go to the front lines if you want, I can't be bothered with you.

However, as a trigger for your humiliation of me, for the next two weeks—no, no, at least today, and tomorrow—you must stay by my side and serve me well! Queen Elizabeth jumped off Jing Su and hurriedly ran away. It was too embarrassing; it turned out she had misunderstood all along!

Queen Elizabeth thought that Jing Su was about to leave. Thinking about all the efforts she had made to see Jing Su, only to achieve nothing, and that Jing Su was about to leave, the sadness, frustration, and resentment almost broke the queen who had led the royal family to this point.

As a result, Jing Su has suddenly stopped leaving.

Strictly speaking, it's not that we're not leaving, it's that we'll leave in half a month.

The difference here is huge; that much time is enough for you to arrange everything yourself.

Queen Elizabeth originally wanted Jing Su to stay with her for the next two weeks, but she immediately changed her mind as soon as she said it. As a monarch, she couldn't just think about her own enjoyment; she also had to ensure that her subjects benefited.

The other members were also watching Jing Su with longing eyes. If he forced Jing Su to stay with him, they might not say anything on the surface, but that would be too selfish and not conducive to unity.

As a ruler, one must not do things that are detrimental to unity.

Moreover, everyone put in a lot of effort to get Jing Su out of the operation, and they should give her enough time to spend with her in return.

Now, Queen Elizabeth has only one thought on her mind.

'Hmph, how am I supposed to get along with my servants these next few days? I guess I'll have to go on a date, but no, as my husband, I'd rather have a caterer-style afternoon tea. All afternoon long, whenever I want tea or snacks, my servants will personally serve them to me. Just thinking about that kind of life is exciting!'

It would be best to make arrangements now. Should I ask Warspite for the details? No, that won't do. If Warspite finds out, everyone else will know too, and they might even come and interfere with me and my servants.

Queen Elizabeth left happily, leaving Jing Su and Yan Zhan staring at each other in the room.

"What's wrong with your Queen?" Jing Su asked quietly after a long while.

"Um, I don't know, maybe she's not in a good mood lately." She roughly guessed that Queen Elizabeth might have misunderstood something, but quickly realized that this was not something she could say.

"Heh heh heh I knew that guy was unworthy to be king. As expected, I should lead the royal camp. Hmph, attendant, hurry up and give the order for that guy to abdicate, and then send a telegram announcing me as the new king. That way, I might be merciful and grant you the title of my husband!"

As they were talking, an extremely weak voice came from behind Jing Su.

"Ah, a ghost!" Warspite was startled and took the opportunity to leap high into the air, landing precisely in Jing Su's arms. She wrapped her arms tightly around Jing Su's neck and buried her head deep in his chest, nuzzling him.

"Uh, is it heroic?" Although she felt that Warspite was acting on purpose, it was hard to say. After all, the voice just now was really scary. Jing Su was also startled. Before she could react, she saw Warspite rushing towards her and instinctively hugged Warspite into her arms.

"Hehe, attendant, you really do understand me. Yes, I am Yingyong. Quick, help me up, I have no strength left~" A weak voice sounded, and Jing Su quickly put Yan Zhan down and walked to the source of the voice.

Yingyong, with deep dark circles under his eyes, lay amidst a pile of documents, staring blankly at the ceiling.

"Yingyong, what happened to you?" Jing Su helped Yingyong up, patted the dust off her clothes, and asked worriedly.

"Heh, you'll have to ask that bastard Elizabeth! That woman dumped a bunch of documents on me to deal with, while she went off to have some fun."

Three days, three days, a full three days!

Do you know how I spent these three days?

woohoo

It's never finished, it's impossible to finish! Damn it, disgusting, filthy!

That vixen, what a wicked thing!

They actually left me here for three days!

There was no one to take over the position; all that was available were royal maids throwing documents into the office!

I've been working on documents day and night, without eating or drinking. Do you know how hard that is for me? *sobs*

The more she talked, the more aggrieved she became. Finally, she broke down in tears, burying her face in Jing Su's arms.

"Huh!?" Jing Su was shocked. It seemed that after receiving the rescue order yesterday, Jing Su had not received any news from Ying Yong. Ying Yong was not at the banquet last night either. She originally thought that she was too tired from work and went back to her room to rest. Now it seemed that she had been working on documents in her room all day.

"Oh, brave, well, last night, Her Majesty the Queen ordered a banquet for everyone to attend, didn't anyone inform you?"

"What banquet?" Yingyong looked up, looking at Warspite with a puzzled expression.

"Um, well..." After a moment's hesitation, Warspite gave a general overview of the banquet. She didn't know the specifics, since she had just returned and had been sent to work by Queen Elizabeth, and hadn't attended the event herself.

Even from the smallest details, Yingyong was able to deduce some intelligence.

"What! Waaaaaah! Me, you guys, you awful big bad guys, why didn't anyone notify me? I don't know anything, waaaaah, I, I didn't participate."

I, sob sob sob, Servant, no, Commander, I didn't attend the banquet, I'm here dealing with documents, sob sob sob, you're all big bad guys, big bad guys.

You all bully me, waaaaah~

Chapter 113 Planning the Date

Jing Su remarked, "Well, we just said goodbye to Queen Elizabeth, and now we have another heroine. These two sisters have one thing in common: they both love to cry!"

However, this time Yingyong cried, and Jingsu expressed her understanding. Unlike Queen Elizabeth's feeling of grievance when she wanted to do something but couldn't, Yingyong was truly wronged. He had been completely forgotten by his partner in the room and was struggling to process documents.

"Alright, alright, don't cry, don't cry. Crying isn't how a king behaves~" Jing Su gently patted Yingyong's back, comforting him. "Our Yingyong is amazing. He handled the documents all by himself in his room, without telling anyone. He processed them so beautifully all by himself. He's truly worthy of being called Yingyong, he's really great~"

"Really?" Yingyong sobbed a few times, then looked up, her face flushed, and stammered.
