Shipgirls and Salted Fish Commander, Port Survival Guide

Stepping back onto the ground, Jing Su felt reborn. As for what had just happened, the two of them tacitly kept quiet about it.

However, after this incident, Jing Su still noticed some peculiarities about the ship girls.

As ship girls who inherited the power of warships, their weight is actually quite peculiar, possessing a Schrödinger-like beauty.

Simply put, it refers to the degree of resource consumption. The more resources consumed, the more ship girl power is used, and the more terrifying the power revealed. However, that applies to the battlefield.

In private, when the ship girls aren't using their ship girl powers, they're actually not much different from ordinary girls. They love to eat sweets and have their own little hobbies.

But no matter how much they resemble girls, ship girls are still ship girls. They can easily use their ship girl powers unconsciously. However, these subconscious uses of ship girl powers are varied and strange, and more often, they are a constant feedback from the ship girl's mind.

Just like now, the fearsome one stood on the scale, and the scale showed direct pity.

The problem lies in the fact that Kewei feels that since she loves eating cakes and pastries so much, her weight must be extremely high. As a lady, controlling her weight is almost a must, which creates a contradiction and conflict.

Formidable is often in a state of wanting to eat cake but also being afraid of getting heavy. This manifests in the power of ship girls as an extremely terrifying weight when weighing themselves.

After realizing this, Jing Su suddenly felt a bit scared. Luckily, she didn't hug Ke Wei when she was weighing herself. This was a warship, after all. Even if it wasn't her full weight, one ten-thousandth of her weight would have been enough to cause her internal injuries.

"Ding-ling~"

Just as the atmosphere at the scene reached a stalemate, a bell suddenly rang in the room.

Then, the monitor on the wall began to display images.

In the image, Warspite stands at the entrance of the maze, looking around.

"Oh, it's Warspite, no, it's Sister Warspite. What's she doing here?"

With a new target of attention, the fearsome person quickly spoke up.

"Maybe they've come to see me," Jing Su said uncertainly.

"Tch, needless to say, she's definitely here to see you. Even Xiao Chuan wouldn't normally come to this place. I just want to know what Sister Yan Zhan wants with you." Ke Wei looked at Jing Su with a sly expression.

"Who knows? We can just ask them." Jing Su tapped Kewei on the head and said cheerfully.

"There's something going on, absolutely something going on. Commander, if you ever do anything to betray Illustrious, I won't let you off the hook."

"Like what we just did in the room?"

"You! I... Hmph, I'm ignoring you now, you big bad guy!"

Kewei was speechless after being choked by Jing Su's words, so he simply pinched Jing Su's waist hard before going into the room to get dressed.

I'm meeting someone later, so I absolutely can't let anyone see what I'm wearing. If it gets out, I'll be too ashamed to stay in the port area.

"Need any help?" Looking at Kewei's puffed-up face, Jing Su felt her heart melt. No wonder some people like so-called arrogant young ladies.

Characters like Kewei are just the right amount of arrogant, charmingly delicate, and occasionally a bit adorably naive, making them truly irresistible. Who wouldn't be captivated by them?

"I don't need your help, I can handle it myself, hmph~"

A terrifying shrill sound rang out in the room, followed by the sound of rummaging through drawers and cabinets.

"Then come on."

After speaking, Jing Su sat down in a chair, looking at Warspite on the screen, pondering the topics that might come up next.

'Is it about launching an attack?'

After thinking it over, Jing Su felt that this was the most likely possibility. Just now in the office, Queen Elizabeth obviously had a lot to say, but they parted ways before she could finish.

The only thing that really concerns me recently, and that needs to be discussed openly, is supporting the summer offensive on the front lines.

"You mean, Commander!?"

As I was thinking, a terrifying voice suddenly rang out.

"What's wrong?" Jing Su hopped to the door of the room like a spring and called out.

"Help, help me get dressed," Kewei called out in a stammering voice after a moment of silence.

"what!?"

Jing Su was stunned. Just now she said she didn't need help, so why is she not able to now? At least hold on for five or six minutes.

But even though I think about it, I still have to help if I can.

Pushing open the door, what came into view was two tearful eyes, frantically grabbing this and moving that—a truly frightening sight.

"What's going on with you?"

"Ahhh, Commander, what are you standing there for? Come help me! Waaaaah, these things are so hard to put on! Ah, I made a mistake again!"

Only then did Jing Su notice the clothes Ke Wei was holding, or rather, the fabric that was rather outrageous.

"Are you sure these things can really be worn?" Jing Su looked at the photos and compared them to Ke Wei, her voice filled with doubt.

"W-what do you mean? Are you questioning my figure? Humph, I can definitely fit into it. If it weren't for seeing Sister Warspite, I wouldn't have taken this outfit out!"

Kewei glared at Jing Su, inwardly complaining, "Who am I doing all this for? Commander, you heartless, big bad guy!"

At this moment, Kewei, after having a deep and simple conversation with Jing Su, actually had the mindset of a mistress. She knew that she would definitely have to present her best demeanor when she met and talked with Yanzhan later.

Although normally Warspite and Formidable are sisters in the same camp and have a good relationship, good relationship is one thing, but now that she is a married woman, there are many things she should pay attention to.

Perhaps, this is the price of growing up?

Looking at the mess of fabric he had made on the ground, he felt like crying but had no tears left.

"Here it comes, let me see what's going on."

Despite the jokes and laughter, since Wei had asked for her help, Jing Su would naturally do her best.

It's obvious that Kewei bought this outfit online, or at least it was mailed to him. It even came with instructions on how to wear it, so Jing Su had some idea of ​​what it would look like.

After seeing the full-body picture, Jing Su said, "Isn't this the outfit of the fearsome 'dressing up' young lady?"

Jing Su had been wondering why Ke Wei, who was a young lady in terms of appearance, temperament, and status, would have a name in quotation marks. Now, after today's in-depth and easy-to-understand conversation, Jing Su understood.

Kewei is indeed a young lady from a wealthy family, but she's a young lady with a bubbly head. You can't predict when or where Kewei will enter a silly and adorable state.

Sometimes arrogant, sometimes adorably clueless, she often says things that are so surprising they leave you speechless. But before you can even retort, she's already moved on to the next topic. When you try to continue the conversation, she'll look at you with an unusually serious and sincere gaze and say, "Hey, did I just say that?"

After carefully reading the instructions, Jing Su said helplessly, "This is terrible. Do you have any other clothes? I suggest you don't wear this set."

"Oh, why? This outfit looks so good."

"Well, to put it simply, it would take at least half an hour to put on this set, and the subsequent processing might take even longer."

But if I do it all by myself, I'm afraid I won't even have time to eat by the time I'm ready.

Your sister, who's war-weary, is waiting outside. Don't keep her waiting.

Even just looking at her appearance in the costume change, judging from her voice, it seems that Kewei has just finished dressing, with three royal maids behind her taking care of her afterward, while Kewei is looking in the mirror to see how it looks.

These clothes are usually custom-made to fit the ship girl's body perfectly. If you put a different ship girl on it, like Little Jiajia, it would probably be able to be worn as a hat.

"Oh, is that so? But it's too late to order new clothes from Akashi now."

His fearsome expression clearly turned to disappointment; he was obviously still thinking about the dress.

"Akashi can make clothes? Oh, no, it's because you're buying clothes now. With such a big room, don't you have any other clothes? What happened to your old outfit?"

"This one is the best looking. The original one was torn to shreds by some big bad guy."

“You didn’t tear it yourself, oh well.” Jing Su suddenly slapped her forehead, realizing she hadn’t found the right way to communicate. “Well, how about this, Kewei, this outfit is really beautiful. Even though you haven’t worn it yet, I can already imagine how charming you will be when you wear it.”

So, it's not suitable to wear it now.

"Eh, why?" Kewei was originally pleased with herself after hearing Jing Su's praise, thinking that she had a good eye, but Jing Su's sudden change of topic made her slightly stunned.

Chapter 146 You Can't Go

"Well, how should I put it?" Jing Su organized her thoughts, "It's precisely because this dress is so beautiful and gorgeous that it's more suitable for wearing on important occasions, such as various banquets hosted by Queen Elizabeth. On such occasions, if you go out wearing something like this, you will definitely attract a lot of attention, and other ship girls will give up the idea of ​​comparing themselves to you as soon as they see you."

"Oh, I see. That makes sense, Commander. You're right. I'll go change my clothes now."

Under Jing Su's persuasion, Ke Wei nodded repeatedly, quickly tore off the strip of cloth covering her body, revealing her lively white rabbit, and then ran to the wardrobe and began rummaging through the drawers again.

This time, at Jing Su's urging, Ke Wei found a set of casual clothes. Although it was still troublesome to put on, it was much simpler than the formal attire from before. At least he could put it on without Jing Su's help.

However, she was reluctant to give in. She had chosen such complicated clothes because she wanted Jing Su to help her get dressed so she could take advantage of the situation. She just accidentally picked clothes that were too troublesome.

Kewei's original idea was that it should look good but also be troublesome to wear. After considering all factors, he came up with this outfit. After reading the instructions, he realized how outrageous the outfit was. By the time he realized it, Jing Su had already come in.

This put Kewei in an awkward position. If she refused, it was an outfit she had chosen herself; if she didn't refuse, it would be a real hassle to wear. Fortunately, Kewei agreed with Jing Su's reasoning and quickly approved it.

This time, the clothes that Kewei found were casual clothes: a white shirt with a small flower on the chest, a black pleated skirt with black stockings and high-heeled sandals. The overall look was cool and lively, exuding youthful energy.

"Very good." After helping Kewei tie her pigtails, Jing Su gave her a thumbs up and praised her.

"Hey, Commander, do I look better in this outfit or the dress I wore earlier?"

Kewei was overjoyed by Jing Su's praise. Then, a thought struck him, and he decided to play a trick on Jing Su. He asked her a so-called "deadly" little question that he had read in a book.

"What are you saying?" Jing Su chuckled. Could this stump me?

"Huh?" Kewei was taken aback. When she asked the question, Kewei had thought that Jing Su would have many answers, such as scratching her head and thinking about how to answer this dilemma, or giving her a long French kiss to forcefully end the topic.

Now, Jing Su's question has stumped her.

"Of course they all look good." Jing Su took the opportunity to tap Ke Wei on the head. Before Ke Wei could say anything, Jing Su immediately added, "The reason these clothes look good is because the person wearing them is my Ke Wei. My Ke Wei is so beautiful that she looks good in anything, like a little princess. Oh no, Ke Wei, you are a little princess. No matter what, those so-called princesses and young ladies outside can't compare to you."

"Commander~"

Hearing Jing Su praise him like that, Ke Wei was overjoyed and moved to tears.

. . . . . .

"Ah, Commander, I've finally found you! This is so hard-won!"

After many twists and turns and running around everywhere, after wandering around the same intersection for a long time, Yanzhan finally saw Jingsu and Kewei.

"Ah, cough cough, the maze is like this. Anyway, Warspite, you've had a tough time."

Seeing Yan Zhan's teary eyes, Jing Su felt a little embarrassed. Although she had tried her best, it was just that it took a girl a long time to go out.

Although Jing Su repeatedly said that Ke Wei already looked great, even without makeup, Ke Wei insisted that it wouldn't do. She felt it was disrespectful to her partner not to dress up nicely before going out to meet people.

So, just before leaving, I delayed for a little longer.

The entrance to the formidable secret base was quite a distance from the main gate, and Warspite was still wandering around. By the time Jing Su found Warspite, the sky was already turning slightly yellow.

As expected, Warspite, being an 'old lady', got lost in the winding greenery.

"Waaaah, Commander, you scared me to death~"

Clearly, the war-weary man, who was a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield, was quite afraid of getting lost.

"Warspite, what brings you to see the Commander?" Clearly, Formidable didn't think Warspite was afraid; she was just taking the opportunity to grope her. So she interrupted Warspite, wanting to end the conversation quickly, as she hadn't had enough time with Jing Su yet.

If I were dragged away by war-weariness, I would be furious.

"Oh, I almost forgot the important matter." Warspite released his arm from Jing Su's, slapped his forehead, and said, "Commander, Her Majesty the Queen has asked you to fill out the attack roster for this summer offensive. This time, all factions in the entire port area will send people to the front line, so the pressure on combat strength and numbers is not great. According to Her Majesty the Queen's estimate, sending a full squad will be enough."

After saying that, Warspite's eyes shone brightly as he stared straight at Jing Su. His intense aura seemed to transform into a giant fireball, with waves of heat rolling in, leaving Jing Su speechless.

Of course, Warspite's main purpose in doing this was to intimidate Formidable. As someone who had been through it all, Warspite knew what had just happened as soon as he saw Formidable's appearance. Considering his own frustration of wandering around in the maze that afternoon, Warspite had to subdue Formidable first, both emotionally and logically.

"Ahem, shall I make the arrangements? Okay, I understand." At first, Jing Su didn't quite grasp the concept of accepting her fate, but after feeling the gaze of War-War Admiral, she suddenly trembled, realizing that she seemed to have taken on an extraordinary task. She then quickly asked, "How many people know about this now?"

"For now, it's just the two Illustrious-class carriers, myself, and Her Majesty the Queen," Warspite said quietly, glancing sideways at Warspite.

Warspite is currently in a fit of rage. Although she is often teased as an old lady, it doesn't mean she's stupid. On the contrary, Warspite reacts quite quickly. After realizing that Formidable had secretly done something to her, she was furious.

It amplified the output of its aura, suppressing the fearsome force with overwhelming force.

Regardless of the bloodshed and carnage experienced on the battlefield or the current situation, at this moment, the legendary battleship Warspite, at such close range, could easily crush the adorable but clumsy Lady.

Of course, Jing Su was completely unaware of the whole process. At most, she felt that the war-weary state was a bit strange, but when she thought about the things she had to arrange, she quickly felt relieved.

After this afternoon, Jing Su gained a new understanding of her position in the hearts of the ship girls. So, after realizing what had happened, Jing Su knew just how troublesome the matter she had taken on was.

However, Jing Su also had to admit that he was the most suitable person to make the decision about who would lead the attack; it would be a mess if anyone else did it.

"I see." Jing Su nodded, then reached out and gently stroked Warspite's hair, smiling as she said, "Warspite, would you be willing to accompany me to the front lines?"

Regardless of his status, seniority, or historical record, Warspite deserves this position.

From an official standpoint, Warspite's actions this afternoon would be considered a special envoy in ancient times. The faction leader sent her to deliver a message, which implicitly granted her a position. From a personal standpoint, Warspite is his own ship, a veteran of the port, and a legendary ship girl of the Royal Navy. With her sortie, no one can say anything.

"Yes, yes, I'd love to! Commander, just wait and see how I do!" Warspite was overjoyed to get the answer she wanted, but she quickly calmed down and suppressed her excitement, trying her best not to show it, since there were other people watching.

Then Warspite waved his hand, turned and left.
