Shipgirls and Salted Fish Commander, Port Survival Guide

Although he didn't know what the situation was, he had a feeling that if he didn't say something, Plymouth would do something very bad.

“Yes, Commander, I usually live in this place. Would you like to go in and take a look?” Upon hearing Jing Su’s words, Plymouth immediately smiled and asked.

“Of course, we came here because we have something to discuss with you, Plymouth.” Jing Su readily agreed. They had come to tell Plymouth that she was on the list of those going to the front lines to provide support.

“Please follow me, Commander.” With that, Plymouth bowed slightly and walked forward.

Jing Su glanced at Guang Hui somewhat awkwardly, and the latter returned a helpless look before gesturing for Jing Su to follow.

For Glorious, the fact that Plymouth paid attention to him when Jing Su was present was already a major victory, proving that he was well-regarded by Plymouth.

The Plymouth villa is decorated in a very simple style. The living room is all white, with nothing but a sofa, a coffee table, and a dining table.

On the balcony, there are several green potted plants with a few small flowers in full bloom, clearly being well cared for.

"Commander, the room is very simple, please don't mind it. If you feel it's inappropriate, I can destroy it immediately."

Plymouth noticed Jing Su looking around the room and became worried, thinking that Jing Su was dissatisfied with the room's decor and was considering blowing it up. Anything that made Jing Su unhappy was absolutely not allowed to exist.

However, since they were about to fire, Plymouth thought it would be better to ask questions first.

"Cough cough." Jing Su was choked by Plymouth's words. He had just blown up his own house with his own words. What kind of talk was that? He quickly shouted, "It's okay, it's okay, I don't think there's any problem. It's pretty good. It really is like the kind of room you would have in Plymouth. It matches your style very well."

"Really? That's wonderful! Making the Commander happy makes me so happy~" Hearing Jing Su's words, Plymouth's joy was overflowing, and she was so happy that she almost fainted.

Jing Su was a little confused by Plymouth's performance. The few words of praise were not even directed at Plymouth himself. Was it really necessary to say such a thing?

Seeing this scene, Guanghui thought to himself, "Sure enough, I'm starting to doubt again whether sending Plymouth to the front lines was really a good thing. Plymouth is just too extreme."

However, since things have come to this, this is the only way.

Moreover, precisely because Plymouth was so extreme, Glorious knew that she would definitely remember the things he asked her to do.

“Miss Plymouth, please come here. I have something to say to you.” Having made up his mind, Glorious spoke without hesitation.

"Oh, Miss Glorious, you're here too." Plymouth noticed Glorious's presence and was somewhat surprised, but still turned to Jing Su and asked, "Commander, may I?"

In private, there would be no problem with Radiant's invitation. But now that Jing Su is around, everything is subject to Jing Su's will. If Jing Su agrees, there will be no problem. But if Jing Su is unwilling, Plymouth will kick Radiant out, even if it offends him.

"Ah, well, of course, no problem." Jing Su was a little curious about this question. Why was she being asked? But what girls talk about in private was something she couldn't really say. After all, this matter had nothing to do with her.

"Then, Miss Glorious, please~"

After receiving Jing Su's permission, Plymouth turned around, smiled, and gestured to Guanghui.

"Ah."

Radiant nodded and followed Plymouth into the depths of the room, where they locked the door.

"Miss Plymouth, how is the soundproofing here?" Glorious asked in a low voice before starting the conversation.

"?"

Plymouth looked puzzled. What topic was it that Jing Su couldn't know?

"Well, how should I put it?" Realizing he had used the wrong approach, Glorious quickly corrected himself, "There are some things that, if the Commander knew, would be detrimental to him."

"Someone is trying to harm the Commander?" Plymouth's aura changed instantly, his words became sharp, and the violent aura emanating from him made even Illusion feel uncomfortable.

"Ahem, Miss Plymouth, calm down. Nobody's going to lay a hand on the Commander." Glorious quickly reassured her. If things didn't get clear, Plymouth might really tear the house down. "Please let me explain."

"So, Miss Glorious, you mean that if the Commander is with other ship girls, he might forget to eat and then feel unwell?"

"Ah."

"So, you mean you want me to get rid of the other ship girls on the ship?" Plymouth asked with utmost seriousness.

"Ahem, that's not what I meant." Plymouth's words startled Illustrious, who realized she had misspoke again and quickly tried to appease her, "Miss Plymouth, what you're doing will upset the Commander. You know he cares most about the port's crew."

“That’s true.” Plymouth nodded, his murderous aura gradually dissipating. “So, what do you need me to do?”

“Just make sure the Commander eats on time.” Then, as if she had thought of something, Glorious said seriously, “Miss Plymouth, I know this is difficult. It will be painful for you to refuse the Commander’s request, but for the sake of the Commander’s health, please make sure he eats on time and goes to bed early and gets up early. The Commander’s body needs rest.”

"I will."

Chapter 154 The Vanguard Who Went Down

Even after finalizing the mission, Guanghui was still uneasy and went over the details several more times.

"Plymouth, did you remember what I just told you?"

“I remember, even if I lose the meaning of my existence, I will never forget what you said, Miss Glorious,” Plymouth said earnestly.

In fact, what Glorious repeatedly confirmed with Plymouth was Jing Su's medicinal cuisine. After learning from Yi Xian that the medicinal cuisine was indeed effective, Glorious had been thinking about making a meal for Jing Su ever since.

However, how should I put it, at every crucial moment, failure always occurs due to one thing or another. Moreover, more importantly, even Guanghui, who prides himself on being the most caring person, seems to have things he's not good at.

During the day, Guanghui actually tried to make medicinal cuisine several times, but in the end, he only got a lump of black paste. When he saw this dark lump, Guanghui was devastated. He had followed all the steps Jingsu had done, and even recorded Jingsu's actions when making the medicinal cuisine to make sure he didn't miss any details, but the result was still the same.

As a perfectionist, Radiant couldn't accept that he couldn't even cook a pot of soup. He decided to go into seclusion for the next few days to cultivate his skills and would only emerge when he could cook the medicinal soup.

Therefore, before that, Glorious needs to arrange everything.

Having Plymouth take care of Jing Su was only one reason; there were other things that Plymouth shouldn't know.

However, after seeing Plymouth's attitude towards Jing Su, Guanghui regretted sending Plymouth to the front lines. No joke, this guy really has a high probability of turning the entire front lines upside down.

Especially since Glorious had just learned that Taihou of Sakura Empire was confirmed to be heading to the front lines, and considering that Akagi and Ron of Ironblood were already on the front lines, Glorious dared not even think about what would happen if these guys got together.

'Well, I guess we can only hope that the commander can calm these guys down,' Glorious thought helplessly.

“Miss Glorious, is there anything else you would like to add?” Seeing the troubled look on Glorious’s face, Plymouth assumed that there was something she was still hesitating to say.

“There are indeed some things I want to say, but I’m afraid that you’ll be hurt if I tell them, Miss Plymouth.” Hearing Plymouth’s words, Glorious had a flash of inspiration. Yes, if Plymouth went to the front lines, something unpleasant would surely happen, but at least while Plymouth was still at the royal residence, he had to find a way to keep her calm.

"Heh, Miss Glorious, I'll do anything for the Commander, no matter what. Besides, I don't think I'm incapable of what you're asking for." Hearing Glorious's words, Plymouth narrowed her eyes and spoke in an unfriendly tone, questioning her abilities.

"Well, how should I put it?" Seeing that Plymouth had taken the bait, Glorious deliberately sighed and said, "Miss Plymouth, as you know, the ship girls of our Royal Navy are not very good at making Eastern cuisine. This medicinal dish is actually quite troublesome to make. Even under the Commander's guidance, I was unable to complete it in one go, and the final product was not very good."

As far as I know, medicinal cuisine is very bitter, and if it's not prepared properly, the commander will suffer a lot when eating it.

Miss Plymouth, you wouldn't want the Commander to suffer, would you?

"Ah!" Plymouth exclaimed in alarm, "What should we do? We absolutely mustn't let the Commander suffer!"

“Miss Plymouth, please bear with us for the sake of the Commander’s health. The medicinal cuisine will be good for him.” Glorious said in a deep voice, “I have a video recording of the Commander making the medicinal cuisine. The final product’s effect has been recorded. Please take advantage of this time before the sortie to study it carefully. At that time, I will entrust the Commander’s health to you.”

Finally, Glorious straightened up, his expression solemn, and earnestly addressed Plymouth.

“Yes, I will.” Plymouth nodded. “Even if I have to work day and night, I will learn how to make this medicinal cuisine!”

“Hunger doesn’t have to be so serious. You still need to rest, Miss Plymouth. If you collapse from exhaustion, the Commander might not let you go into battle.” Sensing the determination in Plymouth’s tone, Glorious quickly tried to persuade her.

If I ruin my health, I'll become a sinner.

"I'll pay attention!"

Under Guanghui's persuasive words, Plymouth did her best to suppress the urge to keep Jing Su and did not try to persuade her to stay.

After Guanghui finished explaining everything, Jing Su followed her out of the room.

After Jing Su left, Plymouth looked at the empty room and felt an indescribable sense of loneliness.

'Commander, you've really left~ I'm so lonely, so sad, I really didn't want you to leave~'

Overwhelmed with emotion, Plymouth's eyes quickly reddened, her body trembled slightly, and she began to sob silently.

'No, no, Plymouth, how could you be so depraved? If the Commander saw you like this, he would be heartbroken. The Commander always puts our feelings first.'

Yes, Plymouth, now is not the time for tears. Medicinal cuisine, you must learn medicinal cuisine! The Commander's body still needs your care!

With this thought in mind, Plymouth quickly calmed himself down, ran outside, and went to find the tablet.

To some extent, Plymouth is a very homebody ship girl. This doesn't mean she's a shut-in like Ghost, but rather that she can sit on the sofa at home all day without doing anything. It's not just about spacing out; when someone asks, she'll say she's admiring flowers. If someone she's close to asks, she'll reveal her true feelings and say that she's actually missing Jing Su.

However, precisely because of Plymouth's personality, she doesn't actually have electronic devices like cell phones or tablets around her. It's not that Plymouth doesn't know how to use them, but if she had these things, she wouldn't be able to control herself from sending messages to Jing Su, hoping that Jing Su would reply to her and order her around.

Because Plymouth was always worried that her edited words would offend Jing Su and cause Jing Su to stop talking to her, she would repeatedly revise the sentences she typed, sometimes to the point of spending an entire day revising them.

Therefore, after Queen Elizabeth noticed this situation, she confiscated all of Plymouth's electronic devices and even forbade Plymouth from displaying Jing Su's portrait. However, this order almost caused Plymouth to go berserk, and the order was eventually dropped.

In short, Plymouth is now eager to find a device that can connect to the internet and watch videos in order to study medicinal cuisine.

. . .

"Hmph hmph hmph~ The moon shines brightly, the flowers smile at me, and the little birds say, 'Commander loves me the most~'"

Along the path, a delicate voice hummed a song as she walked in the moonlight, casually scrolling through her tablet. Suddenly, the little one noticed something darkening in front of her, as if something had obscured her view.

"Oh, it's Miss Plymouth! Hello!" The little boy looked up and greeted her excitedly after seeing who it was.

Within the royal camp, as long as it doesn't involve Jing Su, Plymouth is actually quite easy to get along with; she's a very reliable older sister.

"Can this thing connect to the internet and watch videos?" Ignoring who the visitor was, Plymouth's gaze was fixed on the tablet in the little guy's hand.

"Of course! This is the latest model I got from my sister. The video quality is amazing! Hey, Plymouth, what are you doing? Wait, my tablet! Wow, what happened to it?!"

Upon hearing that he could watch videos, Plymouth snatched it away without a word, and before the little guy could react, he vanished in a gust of wind.

The little guy, realizing what Plymouth had done, was stunned for a few seconds before finally reacting and starting to wail.

"Waaaaah, my tablet! I begged my sister for so long to get this tablet, and I've only used it for less than a day! Waaaaah!"

"Hey, what's this?"

After crying for a while, the little guy suddenly noticed that where Plymouth had been standing, there was a toy-like object that was sparkling.

"Oh, it's a quadruple 533mm magnetic torpedo, reinforced with +10. How did it end up here? Did Sister Plymouth drop it? I need to return it right away. Hmm, I can also get my tablet back while I'm at it."

Wait, there's a note here. It says, "Wow, is Sister Plymouth trading this +10 quadruple 533mm magnetic torpedo for my tablet? Really?"

After repeatedly looking through the note to make sure the message was correct, the little guy stood there, speechless for a long time.

"Wow, whew, I have a quadruple 533mm magnetic torpedo launcher! Sister, I have a great torpedo!"

After saying that, the little guy, holding a quadruple 533mm magnetic torpedo, ran happily in a certain direction.

. . . . . .

"Radiant, where are we going next? The addresses of the next ship girls on the list?"

Leaving the small house in Plymouth, Guanghui seemed to be chased by something terrifying. He grabbed Jingsu's hand and walked quickly outside. They didn't say a word the whole way, and Jingsu could hardly keep up with Guanghui.

Finally, at a fork in the road, the two stopped.

"Commander, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to recommend any more candidates." Glorious turned around and said to Jing Su, who was a little out of breath, "There are three spots left. Commander, you'd better confirm them quickly. I have some things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

After saying that, Guanghui left quickly without waiting for Jing Su to say anything.

He couldn't walk slowly; Guanghui was afraid that if he slowed down, he wouldn't want to leave.

She left because she had important things to do. As one of the representatives of the royal camp, the self-proclaimed perfect wife, Radiance, could not tolerate that she couldn't even make a medicinal meal. She was going into seclusion and, before Jing Su left the camp, she would prepare a medicinal meal for him that she made herself, no matter what!

"Huh!?" Jing Su was stunned for a moment after hearing what Guanghui said. Before she could say anything, Guanghui hurriedly left. "Hiss, he left in such a hurry. It must be something urgent. I wonder if he needs my help."

"Hmm, you must be joking. Why would Glorious need my help? I'd better figure out how to handle the list issue first."

On the way to the Plymouth mansion, Guanghui had already told him what this list really meant, that it was of great importance, and that Jingsu could not hesitate any longer.

"Oh dear, the problem is, who should I send to the front lines with me? It's really hard to choose~" Jing Su sat on the pavilion, looking worried.

"Hey, Commander, it's so nice to see you here! Long time no see!"

Just as Jing Su was struggling with her decision, a spirited voice rang out.

"Avant-garde, it's you. What are you doing here?" Turning around, she saw the person who had come in. It was Avant-garde, who was wearing a short skirt and whose absolute territory could be vaguely seen.

“My home is right in front of me, why can’t I stay here?” Upon hearing Jing Su’s statement, Qianwei’s expression turned strange. He glared at Jing Su and said irritably.

"Oh, is that so?" Jing Su was stunned. Following Qianwei's gaze, she could indeed vaguely see a three-story villa appearing under the moonlight.

"So, Commander, it's been so long since you came back, and you still don't know where I live? What? I was really looking forward to you coming to my house, and you don't even know where I live? Are you a heartless man?" Vanguard muttered, his tone full of dissatisfaction, but the joy in his eyes could not be hidden no matter what.

However, it was late at night, and although there were lights and moonlight, it was still quite dim. In addition, Jing Su was afraid to look up at Qian Wei after he said that, so she did not notice Qian Wei's strange behavior.

"Ahem, well, I'm sorry, I've been quite busy lately. Besides, we already met last night. If I remember correctly, it's only been a day since I arrived at the Royal Garrison, and it's only been one day since I last saw you. I think you must be somewhere, secretly plotting something, but you haven't been able to use it yet, right?"

Slightly embarrassed, Jing Su quickly changed the subject.

"Wow, Commander, I never realized you were so good at talking! It was clearly your problem, but now you're saying it like I'm the one who did something wrong? What do you mean by that?!" Vanguard reached out his pink ring and punched Jing Su's arm. Jing Su then let out a strange cry and fell backward.

"Ah, Vanguard, you're too strong! I'm hurt!"

"Ah, Commander, are you alright? I, I didn't mean to!" Seeing Jing Su fall backward and hearing what she said, Vanguard's face turned pale instantly, and he rushed over to check on her.

"Hehe, you fell for it~" Qianwei had just helped Jingsu up and hadn't even had time to do any checks when Jingsu suddenly opened her eyes, and with lightning speed, quickly got up and gave Qianwei a 'kiss' on the lips.
